This Great Xmas Bazaar Is filled from basement to roof with just such goods as are most in de- mand during this the Xmas buying time. Thousands of the useful, prac- tical, sensible sorts and thousands that are purely ornamental if you wish. " Gifts suitable for everybody. Low prices—the lowest ever possible to name for the substantial, reputable kinds—and we keep no other—are the power that started and will keep going the earnest, business-like Xmas shopping seen all over the house. Many are selecting Dinner Sets, Tea Sets, Bric-a-Brac, Clocks, Lamps, Cut Crystal, &c., and having us pack them carefully in boxes to be delivered at their convenience. Others are buying Toys, Picturés, Dolls, Books, Silver Ware, Dress Patterns, Blankets, Quilts, Linens, Curtains, Underwear, etc., and having us store them for future delivery. We charge nothing for the packing or the storing. Will be pleased to do either for you. We are also marking or engraving, free of charge, Leather Goods, Silver Ware, Jewelry, Canes and Umbrellas. This re- quires time, of course, so if you intend having such work done select now and give us as much time as possible. ~ Seasonable Goods and Useful Presents in Men’s Furnishing Store At Very [loderate Prices.

LAYMEN TO MEET An Expression to Be Made of Their Views as to Dr. Satterlee. Committee to Go to New York To- morrow—The Decision May Be Delayed. There is naturally a great deal of interest |.felt among local Episcopalians in the ques- tion whether or not Rev. Dr. Satterlee wil! accept the call to be the first bishop of the new diocese of Washington. Inasmuch as he has not yet been officially notified of his election no intimation has been received of bis intention in the matter beyond the un- derstanding that he would give up his charge in New York with genuine regret. The committee, which was appointed at the primary convention to call upon Dr. Satterlee, will leave for New York at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. They will prob- ably call at the rectory of the bishop-elect tomorrow afternoon,as several of the mem- bers will be compelled to return to Wash- ington that night. The committee consists of Rev. Dr. John H. Elliott, the president of the standing committee; Rev. Alfred Harding, the secretary; Rev. Dr. Mackay- Smith and Gen. John G. Parke. A Meeting of Laymen. A meeting of the laymen of the various churches of the District has been called for this evening, to be held at the Chureh of the Epiphany, for the purpose of getting an expression of views that may carry some weight with Dr. Satterlee in forming his decision. It is probable that two or more influential business men will be asked to accompany the special committee on its mission to New York, to urge upon Dr. |. Satterlee, on behalf of the laity, the ac- ceptance of the call. In all his work in New York he has been extremely popular with the laymen, and it is thought that if the call were seconded by the laymen of this city it might influence him more than a little. They will urge upon him the im- portance of the work in the new diocese, and the broad field of usefulness that will be open to him kere. The new Episcopal cathedral and its needs will be urged upon bis attention, as well as other features of the work which would appeal to his vigor- ous personality, and his desire for br opportunities. A member of Dr. Satterlee’s church in New. York, who has a deep affection for him and expresses the greatest regret at the possibility of his leaving Calvary Church, hes written a letter to Rev. Mr. Harding, in the course of which he says: “If Dr. Satterlee a®cepts you will have a bishop who will galvanize and organize the diocese into intense activity, and make every man, woman and child’ work like a troop horse. I never came across a man lwho could think out new church ente: prises anc set people to vork more vigol ously than he does; and, what is more, he has the busincss faculty of making his on- terprises successful and self-sustaining.” Mpy Consider It a Month. A telegram received from New York this afternoon says that Dr, Satterlee refused today to make any statement regarding his acceptance or refusal of the office. His associate, Rev. F. B. Howden, speaking for him, said: “Dr. Satterlee will make no statement regarding his election to the bishopric of Washington for at least one month, during which time he will take the matter under consideration.” Dr. Satterlee is just recovering from a severe attack of laryngitis. ——__ Sir Matthew White Ridley, the British home secretary, has undertaken to reconsid- er the case of Mrs. Florence Maybrick.
