Every plano player knows the value of a pure tone @ perfect action! If the latter is tin- certain, if it is stiff or flimsy—your touch must necessarily be poor and unmusical. Aside from the most perfect tone in the world the STEINWAY possesses the m stie action; it is responsive and carries out every demand, of even the most exacting player. All makers imitate “Steinway” more or less, but none approach closer than GABLER. The “Gabler” Piano is built upon sctentifie principles; Gabler admits the superiority of the teinway,’ but also demonstrates by his beautiful Pianos that he has closely studied the Steinway construction. The ‘‘Gabler’’ is the Piano for the musie lover and student, as it will stand any amount of usage and possesses a rich and sympa- thetic tone guality.

Mr. Fress had stopped in the road opposite Freeman’s store to fix a part of the harness which had become disarranged, and as he was about to get in the carriage again the animal, which had become frightened, dashed off at a furious rate. Mr. Fress was knocked down and run over by two of the wheels of the vehicle, and was painfully hurt about the head and body. The horse was not stopped until he had almost reached Anacostia. Mr. Fress was taken to the office of Dr. J. A. Watson, where he received proper attention. The house. and barn of Mr, William B. Hughes, with their contents near Shep- herd’s, opposite Alexandria, Va., were de- stroyed by fire about 7 o'clock last evening. It is supposed the fire was,caused by the explosion of a lamp. The loss was about $4,000, and the property was’ insured for something less than one-half the amount. The blaze could be distinctly seen from the hills around Anacostia, and created much- excitement. It was impossible to render the unfortunate famlly any practical assistance, as the city fire department could not go so far, and the frozen condition of the river prevented any ald reaching them from Alexandria. - ‘The following have been installed as offi- cers of St. Teresa's Branch, Catholic Knights of America, for the ensuing year: | President, Mr. James W.

F. Reagan and James ‘Toner, ‘The house of Mrs. Mary Vodery, living on the Hamilton road, near Anacostia, was accidentally destroyed by fire yesterday morning. The loss is about $300, on which there was no insurance. It is understood that an effort will be made to resuscitate the Anacostia Citizens’ Association in the near future, as the time has arrived for the annual election of offi- cers, and it is felt that if the officers are properly seconded by the members in their attempts to benefit the town, much good will result, ‘A barn on the Morris road, belonging to Wm, Smith, was burned to the ground an evening or two since. The loss is about $100, and is supposed to have been caused by tramps, who weat into the place to sleep. Miss Carrie Taylor and Mr. Georg3 Pea- cock, both of Anacostia, were married by Rey. T. B.

I have been investigating the subject of English women's Christian names in the fifteenth century, and have great pleasure in offering the nobility and gentry of this country a new and very striking selection of Christian names for their infant daugh- ters. First of all, I remark that the favor- ite and most common names were then those that prevail at the present day—Alice, Agnes, Isabella, Sibil, Edith, Lucy, Beat- rice, Matilda, Amy, Agatha, Anna, Mary, Eva, Felicia, Helen, Mabel, Muriel, Mar- gery, Margaret, Ida, Katherine, Emma, Rese, Sarah. These we have with us still, Many, however, of those which have drop- ped ovt of use are quite worthy of being restored. Thus I offer for consideration the follow- ing: Athelena, Alditha, Avelina, Alfreda, Anable, Annice, Amicia, Avice, Clarice, Clemence, Blicia, Idonic, Earilda, Basilia, Ethelbred, Erneburga, Denys, Olive, Ni- chola, Eustachia, Roesia, Petronilla or Per- nella, Sabine and Theophania—otherwise Tiffany. Others there ere which are qvaint but not very pretty: Allanora, Al- Jesia, Annullia, Albrica, Bonejoya, Cas- sandra, Emota, Evote, Bona, Imanca, Egidia, Isonde, Leusta, Diamanda, Gena, Melivia, Lucekyna, Rayna, Juetta, Cas- tania, Scolastica, Swanilda, Salerna, Wik lelma. Others, again, are simply dreadful. Fancy calling your lovely daughter Gun- Gunnilda, Mazera, Orabilia, Richolda, Massilla, Hellwysa, Hawisia, Dio-~ nysia, Lecia, Wyleholta or Frechesaunchia!
