Whelan, late of F ST., Mgr.) a5, EVEN THE PRISONERS Appreciate the Fact That Christmas ix a Time of Joy. Christmas was observed at the District Jail and the work house by making it what is known to the inmates as ‘Visitors’ day.” At both prisons the relatives and friends of the unfertunate incarcerated ones were permitted to visit them and also hand in to them ail the good things brought by them. The privilege was the means of bringing to each prison a very large num- ber of such visitors, very few prisoners being forgotten. Those who were so un- fortunate as to have no visitor call upon them were not entirely neglected, how- ever, for out of the abundance brought to their more fortunate fellows the un- visited ones received not a little. No serv- ices were held at either institution, and at the jail nothing beyond the ordinary bill of fare was served. At the work house and poor house, however, Intendant Stouten- burgh served turkey and cake to every in- mate, and no labor was required of the prisoners in the work house. A delegation from the Society of St. Vin- cent de Paul visited the jail and brought delicacies. Mr. and Mrs. Macfarland also wave pleasure to some thirteen boys, WASHINGTON SOCIETY, The Vice President and Mrs. Stevenson Go to Baltimore To Attend the Wedding of a Niece— Other Interesting Matters Relat- ing to Social Movements, The British ambassador and Lady Pauncefote have cards out for @ dance on New Year night.

The bride is the daughter of Mr. James Stevenson Ewing, minister of the United States at Belgium, and is a niece of the Vice President, who gave her hand in marriage. The ceremony took place at St. Peter's P. E. Church. Mrs. Lieber will give a luncheon on Jan- uary 8 in honor of Mrs. Lamont. Representative and Mrs. McCreary en- tertained a company at dinner on Saturday night in honor of Secretary and Mrs. Car- isle.

Romero, Representative and Mrs. Johnson, Representative and Mrs. Draper, Controller — and Mrs. Bowler and Mr, and Mrs. ‘abel. NEWS FROM GEORGETOWN. Measures Adopted for Preserving the Water S»pply Pure. The Merchants Had a Good Christmas ‘Trade—Other Matters of Current Interest Beyond the Creek. The tunnel that the United States is terday, building under the Conduit road, about one | said mile west of the Chain bridge, for the pur- Pose of carrying into the Potomac the water that is brought to the receiving reservoir by the several small streams that drain the country about enleytown and | Chevy Chase, has just called for the giv. ing of an order to the Frederick City Com- pany for 380,000 adiiticral brick. 1t will be remembered that Col. Elliot recommended the draining and carrying off of the water of these streams that the reservoir might be used as a great settling basin for the supply sent by the Potomac to the Dis- | trict. As these streams receive the cast-off water from the sections through which they flow their output would, of course, not berefit the reservoir. A drain that will almost surround the reservoir will carry | the water into the tunrel that empties be- low in the Potomac. Piping O11 to Williamsport. Williamsport, probably the largest ship- Ping fort for miscellateous articles on the canal, is being connected by pipes with the oil regions. This will, no doubt, give rise, boatmen say, to the handling of oil on the canal to a considerable extent. There is some talk among Williamsport moneyed men of establishing a refinery at or near » it being believed by Dr. and Mrs. Leonard Wood are here visiting Mrs. Condit-Smith. Dr. Wood is now stationed in the south, but has a vacation, which he is spending here. The engagement is reported in London of Mrs. Horace Helyer, whcse husband, form- erly secretary of the British legation at Washington, died some time since, to the Hon. Mr. Lumley, rephew and heir of Lord Sayville, but no official announcement of the betrothal has yet been made, Mrs. Helyer will be well remembered in Wash- ington, where she was conspicuous for her beauty and attractiveness for several years.

It was a most successful affair jand reflected much credit on the superin- jon it was held. At one end of the church a large “Ferris wheel” had been con- structed, filled with the presents for the Sunday school children and members of the chureh, which were distributed at the close of the exercises, Rey.

J, Stales Saturday applied for an injunction against Eleazer Birtwell and others to prevent the sale by auction of several lots of land in block 9, Isherwood. The sale is advertised for December 27, and the complainant alleges that such a sale would work great injury to his in- terests, . them that the article can be handled more | cheaply and with more facility at that | — than at any other on the canal, ow- | Ing to its splendid situation on a navigable river and its proximity to other large cities. Hundreds of horses, carts and men are engaged in laying the pipes to Will- iamsport. Pope Again Arrested. ‘Wm. Pope, the colored desperado who sev- eral years ago shot Gen. Auger, on being re- quested to cease his loud talking at mid- night beneath the windows of the Auger home, 28th and Dumbarton avenue, and who shot Tom Belt and was heavily pun- ished, and who on countless occasions has been in the station, was on Saturday again arrested. He had been in town but a few days, having lived in his last Saturday for being drunk and disorderly, dig gy anne he geri emery trouble t the keeper put an tional ! against him. Pope is one of the hardest characters the town has ever had. His family is well known and respected in the West End. Officers Grant and Upperman arrested Pope. Christmas Trade Good. A majority of the merchants here say that while they have not disposed of as many high-priced and fancy articles as | last year, the sum total of the sales has been equally as large. This is in spite of the cry that hard times have visited the | | District. Cash sales have been predomi- nant, too. Real estate men say that they | have made as many sales as they ever have during the winter months. re- fuse absolutely to acknowledge thet Georgetown has been affected in the least by the slump in business. Virginians and the Bridge. The Aqueduct bridge has been provided with an entirely new roadway, and men are now at work upon the sidewalks. There are some wideawake taxpayers here who say that although Virginia is more bene- fited by this bridge than the District is, she does not contribute $1 toward its main- tenance. They intend to bring this matter before the Citizens’ Association as an im- position and request that it be looked into by those in authority. Paragraphs of Interest. The principal citizens of Hancock, on the | Une of the canal, met on Saturday, talked definitely about the need of a bank in the place ‘and subscribed $10,000 toward the | $25,000 needed for its establishment. | Mrs. Bobbinger of the Cabin John Bridge Hotel is lying dangerously ill. The house in consequence has been closed to the pub- Ne for several days. Only one car is now running on the Glen Echo line, and that is in charge of but one | man. He both runs it and attends to the collecting of the fares. Officer Curren is still on the sick list, as is Officer Law of the county. Officer Pas- “TRres tateatoaved’ roughs Saturday on o night attacked Officer Grant, who was in citizens’ clothes, and were given a good clubbing for their pains and then locked | up. Mr, C. H. H. Thomas is home for’the idays. Mr. Walter Smith of Prospect ave-| nue is also home for a short time. In the western part of Alexandria county and the eastern part of Fairfax county | diphtheria is prevalent to an alarming ex-| tent. —-_—_ MANY MADE HAPPY. Saks & Co. Give Away Many Over- coats to the Needy. When the cold weather does come it will find 150 less victims among the small try of the city than it would have piached yesterday. Messrs. Saks & Company, in accordance with their annual custom, gave away that many good, warm cape overcoats | this morning at their store, corner of 7th street and Market space. Tickets en- titling the bearers to these gifts were dis- tributed through the schools last week, care being taken to divide the number pro- | portionately between the white and colored children. In this way very many needy cases were reached. The crowd at Saks’ | this morning demonstrated this fact amply, if proof were needed. The boys began to gather early, though the notice had been given that the coats would not be given out until 11 o'clock. By 10 all of the doors of the great establishment were besieged by eager youths, their mothers, and in many cases too, came along to see that the little fel- lows were not robbed of their tickets by the gamins that hung around like birds of rey. an not hard to fit the crowd reason- ably well. Of course there was no measur- | Seen today, and it was stated that she lett Kentucky, where, thelr sisters. ig ‘brothers, | THE STORY NOT CREDITED.
