It’s a perplexing question always to tel] just what to give. And we've worked just on that theme in making our Holiday displays—worked to overcome it. Here you'll find novelties in staples displayed everywhere. Just walk through the establishment and you'll see on all sides, things that will suggest themselves to you as good gifts for everybody. The easiest way to decide what to give is to come right here and let the things themselves decide for you. To come down to the solid cold facts of price there’s another argument — one of the strongest—why you should do your selecting here. Our buying facilities couldn’t be improv- ed upon. Our buyers are men of taste—men of good judgment—men of resources. They've bought largely—wisely and well, and big values abound. The old Mayer policy is evident on all sides—no price higher than the lowest—no article that is not thoroughly re- liable and of unquestionable quality, = Ladies’ Coats & Capes.

Renews His Recommendation for Payment of Dividend Cleims and Submits Braft of a Bill. Mr. Eckels, controller of the currency, has submitted to Congress his report as ex- officio ccmmissioner of the Freedman’s Sav- ings and Trust Company for the year ended December 5, 1896. The receipts for the year aggregated $6,754.94, which, added to a bal- ance on hand, November 30, 1895, makes a total of $36,602.30. Nearly the entire re- ceipts were collected on judgments against C. R. Douglas and L..H. Douglas. The to- tal disbursements for the year, including salaries and expenses, were $2,739.81, leav- ing a cash balance on hand at the close of business, December 5, 1896, of $33,862.49. Three claims, calling for $8.76, were pre- sented and paid during the year, under the provisions of the act of February 17, 1883, making’ a total of 1,044 claims paid under said act, amounting to $10,732.82, and _leav- ing 1,367 claims unpaid, calling for $6,748.18. Of the accounts and dividends barred un- der the act of February 21, 1881, 8ix claims, requirng $27.00 to pay the 62 per cent de- clared in dividends, were presented for pay- ment during the year, making 265 claims presented since May 12, 1885, calling for To Pay Dividends. The commissicner renews his recom- mendaticn in former reports that authority be given for the payment of the dividends on all barred claims, the funds and avail- able assets on hand being deemed sufficient to pay all claims for such dividends likely te be presented for payment hereafter. The following draft of a bill designed to accomplish this purpose is again submitted: A bill authorizing the commissioner of the Freedman’s Savings and Trust Company to pay certain dividends barred by the act of Febriary 21, 1881: Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, that the ecmmissioner of the Freedman’s Savings and Trust Company be, and he is hereby, authorized and directed to pay from the funds in his hands available for that >ur- pose, to all claimants otherwise legally en- titled thereto, who have not yet received them, the 62 per cent in dividends hereto- fore declared in favor of the depositors of said compsny, notwithstanding the limita- tton for the payment of such dividends con- tained in section 8 of an act entitled “An act amending the charter of the Freed- man’s Savings and Trust Company, and for ones purposes,” approved February 21, 1881. The controller states the available assets of the bank at $40,862.49, face value, or $37,762.49, ertimated value, made up of the fo (Face value) Cash_bal- ; Second National Bank Detroit Car Loan Company's FOR THE MANASSAS SCHOOL.

The entertainment, in which the Selika Quartet will take part, is to be given under the auspices of the Manassas Industrial School. This institu- tion was organized in 1998, and is operated under a charter granted by the state of Virginia. Its aim 1s ‘to. place the advant- ages of an industria} training within the reach of the hundreds of colored boys and girls who live in the neighborhood of Man- assas and fit them’ for efficient service in the industrial pursuits of life. By lMberal contributions from Miss Emily Howland and Mrs. Frances A, Haeckley of New tions of Jennie Dean, the colored woman who originated the school; aided by Ed- ward Everett Hale and Mrs. M. C. Whit- man of Boston; Dr. D. H. Greer and Mrs. Burton N. Harrison of New York city, and Mrs. L. 8. Doolittle and Miss Jane E. Thompson of Washington, the school has been enabled to acquire valuable property and to continue through nearly three years of practical and successful operation with- out serious embarrassment or hindrance. ‘The work in the academic department is carefully graded; the industrial department includes instruction in agriculture, car- pentry, painting, laundry, sewing, cooking and housekeeping. The board of directors consists of Carroll D. Wright, commissioner of labor, presi- dent; Prof. Henry T. Montgomery, super- vising principal, District of Columbia schools, vice president; Henry E. Baker, assistant examiner patent office, treasurer: Rev. James H. Bradford, Indian bureau, recording secretary; Rev. Henry H. War- 1B, corresponding secretary; Mrs. Senator oar, Mrs. L. A. Hale, Rev. Christopher Eliot, James Dorum, Miss Jennie 8S. Dean, George C. Rounds, Rev. Marshall D. Wil- Mams, Miss Emily Howland, Mrs. Minnie Cc. Whitman, Mrs. Emma V. Montgomery, James H. Meriwether, Mrs. Lucy 8. Doo- Uttle, Rev. William A. Creditt, Dr. Winfield §. Montgomery, Rev. D. G. Henderson, Mrs. Orra C. Langhorne, Dr. Clarkson, Mrs. Dodge and Capt. Tyler. Mr. W. D. Howells, writing in Harper's Weekly of Mr. Dunbar’s verse, has said: “I have sometimes fancied that the negroes thought black, and felt black; that they were racially so utterly alien and dis- tinct from ourselves that there never could be common intellectual and emotional ground between us. * * * But this little book has given me pause in my speculation. Here, in the artistic effect at least, is. white thinking and white feeling in a black man, and perhaps the human unity, and not the race unity, is the precious thing, the divine thing after all, Mr. Dunbar seems to have fathomed the souls of his simple white neighbors, as well ae those of his own kin- dred; and certainly he has reported as faithfully what passes in them as any man of the white race has yet done with respect to the souls of his. * * * I do not think we can read his negro pieces without feel- ing that they are of like impulse and in- spiration with the work of Burns when he was most Burns, when he was most Scotch, when he was most peasant.” The Selika Quartet is a new musical or- ganization composed of Mrs. Josephine 8. Ball, Mrs. Lena Miller McKinney, Mrs. Lula Joy Brookes and Miss Louise Hamer, all of Washington. Mrs. Ball was a well- known contralto in the famous Fisk Jubi- lee Singers. Mrs. McKinney was for sev- eral seasons the leading soprano in the St. Augustine choir. Mrs. Brookes is a well- known local soprano. Miss Hamer has a voice of rare sweetness and tenderness. Mrs. Alice Strange-Davis will act as ac- companist. CAPITOL .TOPICS, To Se Tatterest. Senator Mitchell of Orégon has introduced @ bill in the Senaté declaring the intent of the act of 1861 indemnitying the etates for expenses in maintaining, the national de- fense. By a decision of:the court of claims, the interest on the"money was not allowed. This was overruled by the Supreme Court, but as the Treasury Department had pass- ed upon the claims, Jt refused, under the Dockery law, to reopen, them without fur- ther legislation. The “Mitchell bill is to cover this point.“ Nearly every state is in- terested in the matter,sas interest charges have been disallowed. 5 Another Jedicial District. The House commiitteé‘on judiciary has favorably réported’ the bill to create the Judicial district of eastern Texas, which was vetoed by the President during the last session. The veto was on the ground that the United States judge who holds court at Paris, Texas, was overworked, but since the bill was a law has been enacted transferring jurisdiction of crimi-, nal cases in Indian territory.from the Texas to the Indian territory courts, Mail for Members-Elect, Officials of tae House post office say there is considerable mail in the office for mem- bers-elect,-who are in the city or expect to ree ne Of thie -roctalien the mail city addresses o! re, mail ts held-at ‘the House.’ ~ Pest Army Appropriation Bul. |” The bill making appropriations. for the army establishment for the fiscal year 1608 York, and through, the successful. solicita- |; * Chas.
