At the cldest established charity in Georgetown, the Aged Women’s Home, Christmas was celebrated quietly, but most enjoyably. Several of the ablest attended services in the morning at the various churches, and then assembled to talk over informally the Christmases of other years, in the big front palor. The aged ladies were all particularly bright, even Mrs. Bot- tomus, who has seen more years than any of her fellow inmates, and who has gone scme distance beyond the octogenarian milestone, joining in with a cheerfulness ana vigor that was surprising. The thir- teen present at the home did not have a big invited dinner. It was thought best by the guardians to bestow the Christmas luxuries individually upon the old ladies, and, accordingly a splendid basket of all that goes to make up a holiday spread was given each. These were taken to the rooms of their possessors and lingered over the whole of the evening. The Aged Woman's Home used to be well supported by Georgetown merchants and donations were frequent. Of late years, however, the help received generally, has not been so liberal, through the dying off of many of those interested. The la- dies in charge, however, see that the same comforts are enjcyed, through increased efforts on their part. The patrons of the home,those who have it actively in charge, mrmber about. twenty. Mrs. Britannia Kennon is the president. ‘The Baptist Home. The Gay Street Baptist Home, which is supported by all the Baptist churches of Washington, was full of good cheer and delicious Christmas stuffs today. The do- nations were heaping in quantity and lus- cious in quality. An old-time Yable was spread at 2 o'clock, and the eight old ladies who have found a comfortable resting place there in their declining years gather- ed about it. Mrs, Philp, the matron of the home, presided and saw that all were satisfied to the superlative degree. The religious services during the day consisted of prayer and the reading of the Scrip- tures morning and evening. Some of those physically able attended services in the forenoon at the Gay Street Church. The Baptist Home is on a good footing. The house is a large and comfortable one, on N street between 7d and Potomac streets. Its furnishings are far above those generally adopted by institutions. There are not only the necessities of such a place visible, but there is a general air of home comfort pervading the entire place. Home for Incurables. Christmas was heralded at the Home for Incurables by choral services held yester- day afternoon. The choir was an im- promptu one, made up of an accomplished congregation of the charity’s patrons who were there arranging the patients’ Christ- inmates became thoroughly enthused with the spirit of the mas enjoyments. The occasion and some joined in. Rev. Dr. Buck, pastor of St. John’s, spoke on the In the big hall of the home great day. there was an immense Christmas tree, and for each of the patients there was a gift hanging on it. At the home there are six children, five adult males and about eigh- teen females. The Christmas donations from various sources were exceedingly large. At Georgetown University. A solemn high midnight mass ushered in Christmas at the Georgetown College. The celebrant was Father Richards, the president of the university, assisted by Rev. Jerome Daugherty, deacon, and Mr. J. W. Corbett, subdeacon, The music was a mag- nificent feature of the impressive mags, the entire college choir, augmented by a quar- taking part. Klein's vitata” was sung. Father E. H. Welsh, chaplain of the university, preached. The celebration took place in the Dahlgren Memorial Chapel, which had been festooned and decorated prettily with the season’s evergreen emblems. Two oth- er masses were said {mmediately after the high midnight services. There were pres- ent in the chapel only the regular attaches of the college, those students not home for the holidays, members of the alumni so- ciety and a few patrons, particularly in- vited. ‘At 11:30 o'clock, just before the mass, the choir passed ‘in a body through the various buildings singing old English Christmas carols, When the tower was reached a halt was made. This was in im- itation of the singing of the angels at the announcement of the holy child's birth. This custom is regularly observed at the college. It is beautiful and impressive, the hour heightening the effect. Dahigren Chapel. ‘The “costly and beautiful stone, relief, fiesh-tinted stations of the créss, express- ly ordered from Munich, Germany, about one year ago for the Dahigren Chapel, have arrived, fourteen in number, and been placed in position, They are highly artistic in appearance and are specimens of excel- lent workmanship. ‘Two new stained glass transept windows, costing $2,000 each, ha‘ also just been placed in position in t chapel. One illustrates incidents in the life of St. John, patron saint of John Vin- ton Dahigren, and the other incidents in the lite of St. Elizabeth of Hungary, Mrs. Dahigren’s patron saint. ‘The windows are gifts from them, as is the chapel, which will stand as a memorial to their first born, who lics beneath the altar. There, too, it is at present pianned, ali the members of this branch of the Dahlgren family shall be placed after death. A memorial win- dow over the entrance to the chapel has also just been placed in position at a cost of $2,v00, It illustrates the papal arms. Six other windows are yet to be supplied. His First Christmas in Jail. ‘There was a row in a “Boston” saloon last night, and Sonny Epps, a negro well known to the police, came near killing John Sanders. Just bow the affair started is hard to tell, but cheap whisky had something to do with it. Epps used a heavy club on the other man’s head, and so badly injured hinf that the services of a physician were necessary. “Sanders threw whisky in my face,” was the excuse Epps made fer the assault when the case was tried in court this morning. . “What made you do that?” the judge Sanders. t do it,” was his answer. “Epps,” said the judge, “naw long has it been since you spent a holiday out of “I've been in trouble many times,” said the prisoner, “but 1 never spent a Christ- mas in prison before this.’ ‘A sentence of ten months was imposed.

He was H. A. Edwards, an eccentric fellow, partially paralyzed. For several years he has tntyped the boatmen and their fami- lies, His craft was the most conspicuous on the waterway. Photographer Edwards died in Washington whiie his boat was tied up at the Four Locks. He was rough and gruff in appearance and speech, and was a man of intelligence in spite of indications to the contrary. eae At the Louise Home. Christmas was observed at Louise Home as Christmas has been observed there for years past. There was an absence of noise, bustle and commotion and ‘the only indication of anything out of the routine was the presence of holly and crow’s foot woven in wreathes and festooned around the chandeliers. The portraits of the late W. W. Corcoran and of his daughters were twined round with evergreen. ‘This morn- ing nearly all the ladies who could do so went to their respective churches, and the dinner which they ate near midday was 0; the best. Of course there was turkey an cranberry sauce. Some extras were served to those who are confined to their rooms. It was a very quiet day at Louise Home.

CONSIDERED SUSPICIOUS The State Department generally has Uttle difficulty in obtaining publishers for the information which it voluntarily fur- nishes, and it rarely has to complain be- caus? documents which it supplies do not reach the public. But a curious fact has recently been brought to the attention of the department as to the independence or lack of awe and deference, or whatever the missing quality may be, which induced the publishers of several prominent news- papers in a western city to withhold from publication a document which may yet be of importance.in connection with the Ger- man embargo of American meat products. The State Department people are not yet clear how it all came about. Sent His Opinion Direct. It appears that Secretary Gresham, for Purposes of his own, desired to have his views, as given to the President, made known to the western public, where the Secretary of State has been rather sharply criticised because of the German embargo. The State Department, accordingly, sent @ copy of this opinion to the leading west- ern newspapers, ignoring the representa- tives of those newspapers in this city. Sec- retary Gresham had, undoubtedly, expected that this opinion would be printed as a jus- tification, in part, of his course, and to re- lieve him of some of tho sharp criticisms which are now current, and to which he is particularly sensitive. But it has hap- pened that not one of the newspapers, be- longing to any party, to which this opin- ion of the Secretary of State was sent di- rectly by Judge Gresham himself has as yet printed the document. The Secretary of State recently asked a friend, promi- nent in public life, who has had much more experience with the conduct of public af- fairs than Secretary Gresham himself: has had, why it is that none of the newspapers to which the Secretary of State sent this opinion in justification of himself, and to indicate the policy of the administration, had printed the opinion referred to. This gentleman replied: 4 Washington Representatives Ignored. “You have made a serious mistake in ignoring the representatives in this city of the very newspapers to which you sent that opinion.

Or, is it understood that free coinage will be like the protective tariff— so adjusted as to raise the price of all the farmer sells and lower the price of all he has to buy? Can it be possible that the farmer is gullible enough to believe that nobody else's services or products are to be doubled in value by the free coinage except his own?” three years.

A deputy United States marshal yester- day afternoon served a subpoena on Mr, Miller, commissioner of internal revenue, to appear in court In connection with the suit instituted by Moore & Schley of New York to test the constitutionality of the income tax law.
