Everybody seems:to be buying more pianos for gift giving this Christmas than eyer hefore, and the success of the grand Christmas Sale inaugurated by-us a few days ago has led us to the conclusion that many more of you will buy pianos this Christmas if the price is made right. We have a tremendous stock of pianos, embracing several car- loads of new Bradburys direct from the factory, besides many pianos of leading makes, and we are going to make a great big chasm in the stock before Christmas day by quoting you the lowest prices and giving you the easiest terms on which pianos were ever sold. Below we give but a partial list of the numerous bargains which are being offered by us during this sale, but they will serve to show you how far down into the worth of the piano we are going; how low a manufacturing firm like ours can sell a piano: Pianos. $550 Bradbury Upright Piano, $325.

AN OLD MAID's ; EPITAPH, Old Abigail Henderson Had No Con- fidence in Mankind. From the Buffalo Courier. One of Depew’s stories at the Buffalo Club dinner, which does not appear in his reported speech, was one told by his friend, Mr. Bishop, for a long time president of the New Haven road. “He is now,” said Mr. Depew, “resting in his old age in hon- orable retirement and reflection upon the sins which are frequent with a railw president. He told me the other day that when he visited, for the first time In sixty years, the place of his birth he began to inquire about the old lady and old maid, Abigail Henderson, who was his teacher in his early youth—before he went to the academy and thence to Yal2—and finding no record of her among the reminiscences of the town, went to thé churchyard and there discovered that she had erected a reminiscence of herself. It was a monu- ment, on which was inscribed: ‘Abizail Henderson, died aged ninety-six. Put your trust in the Lord and have no confidence in man.’ If Abigail had been the recipient of the honor you hav2 showered on me to- night she would have reversed that ver- dict. She might not have expressed her doubt as to the Lord, but she cer would have been reassured about man. sae ~ The Hudson at Catskill, N.

Many Local Notes From Across Rock Creek Bridge—To Investi- gate a Death. The Tenleytown volunteer fire depart- ment was called into service Wednesday night. It was practically the initial battle of the men, and they fought for both prop- erty and reputation. They. made good rec- ords in both fields. The fire broke out in the residence of Mr. Wm. F. Burrows, on the Grant road. The wind was lively and total destruction was predicted. But the volunteer: firemen “got a hump on them- selves” and ran like deer for the hose that has recently been furnished the town. It was attached to a plug in an incredibly short space of time. Then a splendidly effective stream was played upon the roar- ing fire. The firemen worked in unison like veterans. Sergt. Hess and Private Riley rendered good assistance, while Mrs. Hunt, through whose strenuous efforts the town secured the fire-fighting facilities, was a deeply interested spectator. The hose house is on Mrs. Hunt’s property, and has been given to the town free of rent. The loss amounts to about $00. If the flames had not been checked there would in all probability, have been a big confla- gration, as the wind was blowing and many houses were near by. Cases of Glanders. Two horses infected with glanders were destroyed yesterday, just beyond the Fort Myer reservation. They were the property of Capt. Porter, son of the late admiral. As soon as the horses’ condition was dis- covered a quarantine was established to prevent the spread of the infection. The greatest precautions were taken. The run- ring at large of the horses would in all probability have caused the death of many government animals. Will Investigate. Today the coroner will investigate the sudden death of Mr. James Downey. The deceased had been ill for some time, but death, in connection with his case, was not thought of. Late Wednesday night there came an attack which quickly brought on the enc. The doctor and priest were sent for, but they arrived too late to administer to the wants of the stricken one. Mr. Downey died at his home, 3407 O street. Notes. Henry A. Jchnson yesterday deeded to Laura E. Sheridan, for $4,500, lot 2, Hol- mead’s addition to Georgetown. At the annual election last night of Geo. C. Whiting Lodge, No. 22, F. A. A. M., the following officers were elected: Rezin W. Darby, worshipful master (re-elected); Wal- ter T. Weaver, senior warden; Benjamin W. Murch, junior warden; Dr. Charles Becker, secretary; Samuel C. Palmer, treas- urer; S. Norris Thorne, delegate to St. John’s Mite Society. —— VICE IN PHILADELPHIA. Evidence of Clergymen Before the Investigating Committee. There has, perhaps, never been an occa- sion in Philadelphia when the prevalence of vice, immorality and crime has been so prominently brought before the public as at yesterday’s session of the senate in- vestigating committee, when Lawyer Pet- tit resumed the inquiry into the police bu- reau. Evidence was given in a general way, indicating that houses of ill-fame, “speak easies,” policy shops and opium “Joints” flourish in the police districts in the slums, and under the very eyes of the patrolmen, with apparently but little interruption. The condition of affairs was similar to that in New York, against which Rev. Dr. Parkhurst waged war. Rev. Dr. Gibbons, a Presbyterian clergy- man, living in the slum district of the fifth ward, drew a harrowing picture of the condition of things there. Immorality in all shapes and forms was opetly visible, and had defied the efforts of the best citi- zens to stamp it out. The police, he said, were well aware of it, and had said they were unable te do anything. The vicious cla: he said, seemed to be protected by a powerful political influence that controlled all elections. The police openly election- eered on such oceasiors. He knew of po- licemen who had made efforts to better af- fairs who were discharged from the force. The same kind of t nony was given by Rev. H. Phillips, colored Episcopal clergyman, as to the slum sections of the fourth, seventh and eighth wards ‘A general idea of the condition of things in “Chinatown,” on Race street, above 9th, was given by John Duke, janitor of Red Men’seHall. Opium ple were abundant gambling everywhere, and Chinamen con: sorted with the most degraded of white omen. All this under the eyes cf the po- lice. At one time, he said, twenty-two gambling tables were cperated in this small section, and $15 from each of them was laid aside each week for the police, he understood. Eugene Lyon, a private dete@tive, told the committee of an investigation he made as to the number of houses of ill-fame he had found in thirteen police districts. They amounted to 629. Two hundred and eighty were in the eighth district, and one hun- dred and fifteen in the sixth district. These two comprise the Philadelphia ‘Tender- loin.” He said Margaret Langdon, one of the keepers of a house in the eighth dis- trict, had admitted payirg a special officer money for protection. The woman, being placed on the stand, denied ever paying any money. Annie Jackson, colored, said she paid Constable Jones’ $10 when she was ar- rested recently, and $24 to one of the Roop brothers for going her bail. The commit- tee adjourned until today. ——— ROCKVILLE.

PEERLESS REJANE, Queen of Tragedy and Captivator of Hearts, As Madame Sans Gene, Her Work Was a Revelation. The Americans Saw Her in Her Latest Play. -Today, as ever, the pulse of the American people beats warm and fast at the approach of genius, whether it be native or foreign born. Nowhere, perhaps, is this fact more particularly in evidence than with regard to the stage. Year after year we see it exemplified, sometimes in the case of our own, as for example, the renowned comedian, Joseph Jef- ferson, or Denman Thompson, or Fanny Davenport, but more often, it would seem, in the case of the for- eign or European stars. Last year came Rejane, the queen of tragedy, fresh from her dramatic triumphs in Paris, in London and on the continent. It was her first visit to America, in search of American honors and American dollars, and her stay, though short, proved a rare and delightful treat for the American public. Unfortunately for her, our Ameri- can climate dealt harshly by the prima donna, and the wear and tear of her professional duties, added to the climatic change, made Madame Rejane a rather easy subject for the grip. Like many another sufferer from this same, disease, the great French actress tried various remedies, and submitted to all sorts of advice, until finally, when nearly exhausted, she was induced to try the GENUINE JOHANN HOFFS MALT EX- TRACT. The result was a complete and almost immediate cure. Now she writes regarding it as follows: “The GENUINE JOHANN HOFFS MALT EXTRACT has restored me wonderfully from the ef- fects of the grip. It is an admirable tonic and appetizer when used with the meals. I have used it constantly in Paris.” Ask for and be sure you get the GENUINE JOHANN HOFF'S MALT EXTRACT. Avoid.all imi- tations. BROKEN BY THE BANK. The Usual Fate of Gamblers at the Monte Carlo Tables. From the Pall Mall Magazine. An exact record is kept of the profits of each table at Monte Carlo every day, but it is sufficient for our purpose to strike an average. The earnings of a roulette table during the winter average £400 a day, and durirg the summer £350. For the trente-et- quarante tables the averages are £300 and i250 a day respectively. Of course the tuk- ings of these tables vary very considerably. A plunges may walk into the rooms at any moment and have a run of luck which will not only prevent any particular table from making a profit, but force the cashier to advance more money to keep it going. This feat is erroneously called “breaking the bank,” but, depend upon it, all such win- nings find their way back again to the tables. As Pere Blanc remarked, “He who breaks the bank today will be broken by the bank tomorrow.” It was so with “Lucky Chance Wells,” whose play I watched closely from day to day, and who undoubtedly won near- ly £0,000 during two visits of ten days’ du- ration. He lost not.only the whole of it at two subsequent visits, but also £10,000 of the money of people whom he duped with bis bogus patents. So with a well-known London money lender, one of the best cus- tomers of the tables, who visits Monte Carlo every season. He generally plays the maxi- mum of 12,000f. (£480) a coup at trente-et- qvérante, and has won large sums from time to time. He informed me, however, last winter that he was almost always a loser at the end of his stay; that he made £10,000 his limit of loss, and that during the jast ten or twelve years he had left at least £100,000 upon the tables. These are only typical cases. The winner at Monte Carlo returns to make a little more; the loser re- turns to try to get his money back. And so, in the end, la banque gagne toujours! ———— 0+ —___ IN THE WRONG ROOM. Embarrassing Result of Spent in a Paris From the Pall Mall Magazine. An amusing 3tory Is related in Paris of the adventure of a gentleman who had spent a pleasant evening at a cafe with some friends. He returned home on a bicy- cle, and was so unfortunate as to sustain several falls on the way. Nor was he more lucky when he reacaed the house in which he dwelt. Mistaking he floor on which his rooms are situated, he rang repeatedly at the door of an apartment occupied by the widow of an admiral who was at the pres- ent moment away from town. As no one responded to the summons he fivaliy effected an entrance by breaking open the door, and while groping about in search of matches he contrived to upset a number of tables and chairs, as well as a couple of valuable Sevres vases. At last he reached the bed room, and, 2s he felt much fatigued by his ride on the bicycle and by his wanderings through the apartment, he dispensed with the operation of divesting himself of his garments, -nd, throwing himself on the bed, was soon locked in His awakening, however, was the reverse of agreeable, for on opening his nm Evening afe. | eyes after a rough shaking, he beheld his concierge, flanked by two policemen, who peremptorily inquired what he was doing in | the apartment of the admiral’s widow. Then he was compelled to take a turn round the rooms, wien the havoe that he had wrought in his search for the match box was revealed to his bewildered vision. The concierge, however, like a good Samari- tan, spoke a kind word for his tenant, and the’ police, who had been summoned under the impression that a gang of burg!ars had broken into the apartment, obligin cated the premises. A messaze f concierge to the admiral’s widow was promptiy followed by one from the uncon- scious intruder into her domicile, contain- ing a full apology and a promise to make up for all the damaze that had been done. The hero of this adventure is described as an Englishman who is a member of several temperance societies, but both defirition may be received with equal reservation, oe enving Newfoundland.
