Where They Can Purchase Holiday Gifts to Advaniage. ‘Those who have not yet made their se- lection of Christmas gifts should lose no time in so doing, as the near approach of the holiday increases the crowds in the dif- ferent stores. Below are suggestions which may be of advantage in enabling shoppers to determine as to their purchases: Unquestionably the most complete phar- maceutical establishment in this vicinity is that at the corner of lith and F streets 80 ably managed by the enterprising Mr. Mertz. Although the building ts extremely rich in all its appointments, and despite the further fact that: his stock includes only articles of the highest grades, he al- ways contrives to undersell his compet- itors. ‘That is the secret of his great suc- cess in business. It must be understood that although bis wares are cheap, they are not to be included in the usual cate- gory of “cheap goods.” On the contrary, they are all first-class articles. Mprtz deals only in the best, and his ability to seli at prices below the regular market ‘rates ex- plains why he is doing such a brisk trade present. His present stock of holiday goods is better than ever, and will amply repay an inspection. For details of special bargains see his advertisement in another column. The revival of interest in all that per- tains to the life of Napoleon is one of the most curious and significant phases of life in these end-of-the-century days. In New York all the windows are filled with arti- cles referring to the man of destiny, and portraits and busts of him are to be seen everywhere. Not to be a bit behind the times, Veerhoff's galleries, 1217 F sstreet, are displaying a magnificent collection of works of art of this character, including photographs, mezzo-tints, engravings, etc., as well as many Napoleon prints, which are regarded as valuable far beyond their present price. A Gude & Bro., whose ffower store at 1224 F street is one of the most attractive sights of that busy thoroughfare, are pre- paring an extra fine showing for the holi- day season, realizing that flowers frequent- ly make the most desirable and appropriate of Christmas gifts. Thé¥ are offering ferns and paims at very reduced prices, and are also making up floral designs es- pecially for the happy season. The Voigt Manufacturing Jewelry Com- pany, 71% 7th street, are just now offering all sorts of inducements to catch the holi- day trade, and have in their lists scores of articles that are sure to please the most fastidious tastes in the matter of Christ- mas presents. he store is crowded every day by those who are on the lookout for good things in the way of solid and plated silver and gold goods, and, as special prices are named on most of the articles, pur- chasers are getting their pick in the way of bargat Engraving is done free of charge, and goods are reserved until it is desired that they shall be delivered. Let the Christmas present be gloves, if you desire to be sure of pleasing, for there is probably not a thing more suitable for en or women, more appreciated or more sensible than gloves for a gift. And anoth- er point in their favor is that but very 1 tle money will be needed to secure them. The Louvre Glove Company of 937 F street northwest claims to be the only exclusive glove house in Washington, and adds that lf gloves are bought at thelr store you'll get such gloves as are not to be found else- where—bright, fresh and the newest style ‘The Russian leather and silk. a Parisian gloves are the very latest for ladies, while for the men folk there are all that could be desired. The articles sold by the Louvre Company are packed in neat boxes, which add to their attractiveness as presents. “Music Jath charms to soothe, & old story, but it is at all times applicable. Especially so at Christmas times do melo- cious strains add to the joy of the festive | holidey season. Surprise your wife, girl or doy with a banjo, violin, guitar or mando- in. Thomson & Co. cf 5zi 11th atreet northwest have a full stock of everything in the mustcal line, and all articles are be- ing sold off below cost.in order that the firm may retire from business. It would be wise for those contemplating a purchase of anything of this nature to drop in the es- tablishment referred to. A full dress suit is an absolute necessity for all men during the Christmas holidays, especially so cn New Year day. And it will come in handy several times a week perhaps thereafter. G. Warfield Simpson, the well-known tailor at the southeast cor- ner of 12th and F streets northwest, makes a timely announcement to the effect that he will construct full dress suits to order, silk-lined, long cut and square tails, that are claimed to be marvels of sartorial cheapness. A guarantee goes with each suit that you cannot duplicate it for Simp- son’s price in Washington. Money will be refunded if the customer is not enti satisfied If an order ts left now the will be ready by Christmas day. The proprietors of the reliable Family Shoe Store, 310-312 7th street northwest, are prepared to talk holiday goods as well as the other merchants of the city. What's surer of pleasing as a gift than slippers or even shoes themselves? The stock of hol- iday footwear at the establishment in ques- tion 1s claimed to be magnificent, and It includes everything that is new ‘and de- sirable. Instead of running up prices, the helldays have run them down. The attrac- tions offered are ladies’ slippers, men’s slip- pers, “Edith” shoes, La Belle shoes, La ‘Tosca and La Mascott shoes, men’s shoes, pigskin shoes and patent leathers, all of which should be inspected by those in search of bargains. “The apparel oft proclaims the man,” says W. S. Teel, 935 Pennsylvania avenue northwest, and he adds that his customers are proclaimed men from the ground up. For the holidays Mr. Teel has the largest and-handsomest line of suspenders he has ever had, and the prices are way down. Among the special suspenders suitable for gifts are the “Crown Make” crochet silk, this season's pattern, with kid mountings to match; silk webs, with buckles and kid mountings, and silk elastic webs. There are Others in silland satin, a little higher in price. Another useful thing to give a man fs an umbrella, and such may be found in every variety at this establish- ment. If you are going to give any presents at all this Christmas, gloves are probably on your list. If not, they ought to be, for there is nothing surer of pleasing the receiver. or nothing, perhaps, that will so show good taste on’ the part of the giver. Hibhert’s Glove Emporium, 696 11th street northwest, ts well known to the shopping public, and the proprietor claims that there is no house in town so well prepared to supply wants in the glove li ing all of the newest shades and best makes. Gift gloves will be exchanged ter the holi if they are wrong in size or not the shade desired. warranted and tried on, Christmas week.

TO THE GENUINE: JORAKN HOFF MALT EXTRACT. 400K FOR SIGNATURE goods a person could probably select suit- able Christmas presents for every mem- ber of his family, all his relatives, and hundreds of friends if he wished to do so. At Topham’s Trunk and Leather Goods Manufactory, 1331 Pennsylvania ave- nue, may be found a stock as complete as is possible to make it. This is a manufac- tory, and consequently, many of the goods aré sold at manufacturer’s prices. Mr. Topham states that he will give free with every fancy leather article selling for more than one dollar a sterling silver initial, or will mark your name in gilt or engrave one line on metal goods without charge. Ar- ticles on which a deposit has been made will be held for the convenience of the customer. All trunks are furnished with straps, name tag, and are marked free. All satchels will be furnished with name tag, a silver initial or a silver-plated tag, mark- ed free. The store is open evenings. It is undoubtedly superfluous advice to suggest at this or, indeed, at any other time of the year a visit to such a well- krown establishment as that conducted by Messrs. Robinson, Chery & Co., 12th and isan! F*streeta, for the house is too well known to the people ef the District to need any such advice. Nevertheless, the immense elething and furnishing house offers to holiday purchasers such opportunities as can rarely be found anywhere in this broad land. For instance, the tmmense stock runs from a collar to the most elab- orate and complete outfit for both men and boys. Indeed, there is nothing, ab- solutely nothing, which goes to make up a well and comfortably dressed man or boy which cannot be found in this estab- lishment at the most reasonable rates and in the very latest styles. In recognition of the wishes of the holiday purchasers every- thing is suitably boxed, and all purchases will be cared for and delivered later, if so desired. Initials, too, will be engraved on all canes and umbrellas free of charge, and nothing will be left undone by the firm to make purchases as profitable as they will be pleasant. > As to Street Railway Transfers. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: Referring to the article in last even- irg’s Star on the subject of the discon- tinuance of transfer arrangements between the Washington and Georgetown railroad and the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home raliroad, it may not be inappropriate to call the attention of the patrons of the twbd roads, and of the public generally, to @ recent statute touching the matter. By section 5 of the act of August 2, 184 (ch. 189, 28 Stats., 218), It is provided that “the Metropolitan Railroad Company is hereby authorized and required immediately to meke reciprocal transfer arrangements with street railroad companies whose lines now connect with its lines, and to furnish such facilites therefor as the public convenience may require.” After providing for trackage arrangements with cennecting roads upon the completion of the underground electric system, the sec- tion continues: “Provided, that every street railway, company tn the District of Cclumbia whdse lines connect, or whose imes may hereafter connect, with the lines, of any other street railway company, is hereby subjected to the same require- ments as to transter and trackage arrange- ments, and upon similar conditions, as in this section provided in the case of the Metropolitan Railroad, Company, and the lines connecting therewith.” While there may be difference of opinio: as to the meahing of the word “connec! whether it means “coinciding wit “crossing,” or otherwise, certainly the Eckington road “connects” with the Georgetown road at the terminus of the former, at 15th and G strect, as much as the Brightwood road connects with the vth street line or the 7th street line. In any event, nothwithstanding the act directs that reciprocal transfer arrangements be- tween connecting roads shall be made “‘iin- mediately,” the public have not yet been given benefit of any such arrange- ments. This matter should have the at- tention of the committees on the District of Columbia in Congress, and the responsi- bility for failure io carry out the provisions of the section referred to (which, unfor- tunately, carfles no penalty) fixed. The attention of the public, especially of those opposed to overhead trolley roads in the District, should also be called to the fact that the right of the Eckington road to use the trolley within the city limits; that is, on New York avenue, will expire on the Ist of July next. Stats., 7, amended by 27 ding the time two years, from 1803 5.) As the Eckington company is a penurious corpo- ration, without any such enterprise as has made’ the Washington and Georgetown stock so valuable, it may therefore be ex- pected that it will make application to the present Congress for a further extension of time within which to maintain this dun- gerous and unsightly system, with its ac- companying cobble-stone pavgd streets. Forewarned should be forearmed. "The Eckington company, as all its mwill- ing patrons know, gives’ very unsatisfic- tory service, and It ig time that, instead cf being granted more privileges, it should be compelled to live up t> the provisions of its charter. It hat Quilt a branch road on North Capitol strét from New York ave- nue, connecting with its G street line at New Jersey avenue and G street, replacing a newly-laid asphalt pavement by cobble stones hetween its tracks, but has not yet condescended to run cars thereon, although the service is badly needed, and the act of February 13, 1803 (27 Stats., 445), pro- vides that the branch line should be in op- eration by July 5 last, it obtained per- mission, or was directed by the Commis- sioners, to erect a transfer station at 5th street and New York avenue a year or more ago, but has not yet done so; it does not run {ts cars half as frequently as the public necessity—not to say convenience— requires, but attempts to make up for an insufficient number of cars by running at an illegal rate of speed; it has built, by what authority is not apparent, an un- -sightly shed in the center of the street over the terminus of the expertmental road on its right of way at North Capitol and T streets; it has so far fatled to pave between its tracks on North Capitol street from New York avenue to O street, al- though that far the street is asphalted on both sides of its tracks; It refuses to trans- fer with the Belt line at 4th street and New York avenue, though both roads are owned by the same parties. As this nad is owned by a Philadelphia syndicate, which is here simply for what {t can make out of the people of Washington, a little severe handling, similar to that the Metro- politan company has recelved from Con- gress, might have a beneficial effect. A former patron, I now never ‘se the road except in bad weather, as I can walk from home to office in less time than I can ride, under its present exasperatyngly siow schedule and inconvient system of changes. Many other former patrons, like me, dis- gusted with the Eckington road manage- bent, think that if the Herdic Company would put a few of its coaches to parallel this line they would be well patronized.

Daley and the Anti-Saloon League. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: Referring to the article in Tuesday’s Star entitled “Sergeant Daley Speaks,” I would like to say through you to the public that it is true that Sergeant Daley was present at the meeting there reported and that he was welcomed with some enthusiasm, it being his first appearance at a meeting of the Anti-saloon League, but your reporter did not hear correctly in understanding Ser- geant Daley to refer to his work as a po- liceman as “his crusade against the liquor business” and in understanding him to say that the league gave him “substantial sup- port,” which might mean pay or its equiv- alent from the Anti-saloon League. I am sure The Star would not willfully misrepre- sent either Sergeant Daley or the Anti- saloon League, and trust it will gladly make this correction. A less important error is the statement that “toward the close of his remarks Sergeant Daley became excited, and could scarcely be understood.” That he could scarcely be understood by the reporter is probably quite true, but that he became excited is without any founda- tion. It is true, however, that the Anti-saloon League did what it could for Sergeant Daley when he was under charges, in the way of appeals to the authorities and ex- pressions of Confidence to himself, and that the league was greatly gratified at his be. ing able to clear himself and maintain his place on the pelice f The Anti-saloon League commended Sergeant Daley, as it would any policeman under like circum- stances, for doing his duty in bringing to punishment violators of the prohibitory provisions of the Hquor law, and demanded that he should not suffer for hts faithful- ness in this direction. Otherwise he was Open Evenings. W. D. CLARK & CO., 811 Market Space.

I could certainly say pre- vious to this occasion, as one of the speak- ers said at our last public meeting: “I have never met Sergeant Daley to know him. I do not know whether he is thirty years old, or forty years old, or fifty years old, or whether he is a Methodist, or a Presbyterian, or a Roman Catholic, but I know that he has been a faithful police- man.” 5 It is also true, es The Star informed the public some time ago, that Sergeant Daley's name is on the rolls of the Anti-saloon League as a representative from Rescue Lodge, I. 0. G. T. But his duties as a member of the Anti-saloon League will in no way conflict with his duties as a mem- ber of the police force. As to the work and aims of the Antl- saloon League, I may ask for space to speak more at length some other time. I may here say briefly that the Anti-saloon League, as regards laws on the statute books, stands with all lovers of law and order, and in working for more prohibitory enactments against the liquor traffic it will use no unlawful means, and desires nothing but the good of the community.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: Can you inform us why the térm “cloture” 1s used by some newspaper writers, and in Congress? It is a foreign word and means the same as our English word closure, both being de- rived from the same root. The word clo- sure is more agreeable to the ear of Eng- lish-speaking people, and every one, the un- learned as well as the learned, knows its meaning, while many do not understand what cloture mens. Why incorporate into our language foreign words not generally understood, when we have words which clearly express the idea that it is desired to convey, and are understood by all and are more euphonious? We see a great deal in the papers about the English language becoraing the unt- versal language, and which it is rapidly do- ing in commerce the world over to tke great advantage of all concerned. The one great hindrance ts our absurd and incon- Sistent orthography, growing out of the fact that ours is a polyglot language, made up from several different languages, with the attempt to retain the orthography of each, Every foreign word introduced, or nearly all, only aggravates the difficulty, and for that reason, if no other, we should strive to keep our language as pure and its orthography as simple and uniform as possible. If it were possible to add to our alphabet enough characters so that there should be as many characters or letters as there are elementary sounds, it would soon become the universal language of civilized nations—at least in general literature and correspondence. ‘The present plan of giving to one letter several different sounds is as} absurd as it would be to give a child a dif- ferent name for each day in the week. Be- fore one could tell what name to use, he must stop and ascertain what day it is; and so in our language, one must see Ly what letter a certain other one is preceded or followed before he can tell what sound to give it, and that frequently necessitates the introduction of silent letters, which add immensely to the difficulty of a ready ac- quisition of the language. Formerly this was insisted upon by the professional and the learned, because the orthography of a word Is a key to its root or origin, and they could thus trace the word and more readily ascertain its mean- ing in the past, or in the language from which it was derived; but, fortunately, this class, as well as others, now see that words are simply vehicles for conveying ideas, and that it ts of infinitely more importance to know what the word means now than several hundred years ago, and to so sim- plify its spelling as to enable all to know how to pronounce it when printed or writ- ten, and to know at once how to spell it when they hear it pronounced correctly. For these reasons many of our foremost ed- ucator:, college professors and others, now favor the simplification of our language in the matter of its orthography. Words are constantly changing in their meaning, as well as in their spelling. All changes in a language are, and necessarily must be, slow in their adoption; but every step in the direction of simplification is a decided advantage to the world at large, especially in this age of rapid intercommu- nication between the various peoples of the earth, They greatly facilitate the universal spread of ideas and improvements of all kinds, bring the various peoples of the world into closer contact and ald in bring- ing about that universal brotherhood which in the far distant future shall put an end to wars and their attendant evils. If ever the time comes whew “Man to man the world o'er Shall brothers be, and a’ that,” no one thing will more aid in that result than the spread of an universal language; and nothing can so much ald in that as simplifying the English language and keep- ing it free from the introduction of un- necessary foreign words. OBSERVER. ——-= A Unique Violet Dinner. A vory pretty dinner was given at 12 o’clock yesterday by an 8th grade class of girls in the cooking hall of the second divi- sion public schools. It was an award of merit to the class having attained the best results in the department of cooking. The work of the day alone exhibited prompt obedience, and that vigorous execution for which Miss Roach’s pupils are distinguish- ed, and the menu was a tribute to the ability ofthe cooking teacher, Miss Walk- er. The young ladies decorated the table with flowers and their own cut glass and silver. There were violets everywhere, menu cards with painted violets, doylies, center piece and carving cloth covered with violets, and violet bouquets for the guests. The room was handsomely fitted with palms, ferns, rugs and flags. School offi- cials were present—Mr. Bowen and Mr. N. P. Gage. The superintendent is out of town, but his place was filled by his sister, Mrs. ‘Ellen Powell Thompson, whose work in connection with the Anthropological and leading societies of women in Washington and elsewhere Is well known. ee Carroll Institute.
