THRONGS OF GIFT BUYERS Attractive Displays Made by Wash- ington Merchants. HINTS TO SHOPPERS The holly bough and mistletoe, The crow's foot and the evergreens Frame out the crowds that come and go Enlivening the Christmas scenes. A tiny nose in longing pressed Against the barring window glass That holds a doll divinely dressed; ‘The sturdy lover and his lass Careless of what the holiday May bring them in substantial gifts, While their hearts sing a roundelay That soothes and sweetens and uplifts. The carriage wheels that swiftly roll; The tattered shoes on weary feet; The glad in heart; the sad in soul Alike crowd on the busy street. Oh! ye, who fortune kind has blest Remember at this giving time Those who the fates have sore opprest And from your dollar let a dime Stray outward on sweet mercy’s way To wreathe a smile upon the face Of charity, for e’er and aye, Of all the Three, the loveliest grace! The holly, bough and mistletoe, The crow’s foot and the evergreens, Are not for those who only know Sad heartache in these Christmas scenes. Ogram, the well-known druggist at the corner of 13th and Pennsylvania avenue, is offering a choice line of Christmas presents this year. His stock is replete with dainty gifts for ledics and substantial presents for men. There are handsome cut glass bot- tles, with choice extracts, at modest prices, and rich bureau accessories. His stock of brushes is perhaps the best in this part of the country, and numbers some actual rrize winners at the Paris exposition. A nice box of soap makes a suitable present, and he is showing some clever conceits in this line of goods. He offers as a leader a choice box of extracts, containing two bot- tles, for the modest sum of 35 cents. In fact, he has a list of articles that com- mends itself to Christmas shoppers, and one cannot go amiss by paying him a visit before purchasing a present for a friend. New that cold weather is here—real Xmas weather—the young man's fancy will natur- ally turn to thoughts of winter clothing. Usually winter weather means winter prices for seasonable garments, but the Loeb & Hirsh dissolution sale presents the topsy- turvy conditions of one-haif prices in the height of the season. No better opportu- nity can be hoped for than this to supply a wardrobe with everything it needs to make !t complete. A 40 per cent reduction is indeed worthy of consideration. In the musical world the name of Knabe is synonymous with a first-class piano. At the firm’s extensive ware rooms, 1422 Penn- sylvania avenue, a complete line of pianos is offered, and there is no present that brings as much real pleasure as a fine in- strument. For the holiday season a num- ber of elegant pianos are offered at tempt- ing prices. Each instrument carries with it the firm’s guarantee. And this includes some slightly used pianos that are every bit as good as new, at prices that are as- tonishingly low. The firm sells pianos on time, and does a general piano busines3, renting, moving, tuning and repairing. A visit to the establishment of F. G. Nolte, No, 810 9th street northwest, and an examiration of his prices for work, will, it is believed, convince any inquirer that in papering rooms at least 25 cents on the deliar can be saved. Those who are contemplating getting a piano will find the Krakauer instruments at Kuhn's Temple of Music, No. 1200 G street northwest. The house also does ex- pert tuning and repairing. Mr. John R. Kelly, whose stalls are in the 9th street wing of the Center market, is a purveyor of New York roast beef and steaks. He also makes a specialty of Bos- ton corned beef. ‘A man who smokes appreciates a box of cigars as a Christmas present, and why not give him one? The National Cigar Fac- tory, No. 1011 Pennsylvania avenue, is mak- ing cigars and putting them up in attrac- tive boxes. These cigars sell at prices minus the commission paid to the middle man. Byron S. Adams, “prompt printer,” at No. 512 11th street northwest, is doing a big business in printing typewriter circu- lars. These circulars have the hand marks -of personal letters and never fail to attract attention. “I never disappoint” is Mr. Adams’ motto. The announcement is made by Mr. Chas. M, Stleff that he has opened, at 621 11th street northwest, the old stand of Thomp- son's music store, a branch wareroom of the Stleff piano headquarters in Baltimore. J.C. Corliff, for years of the firm of Pfeif- fer & Conliff of this city, is the manager, and extends a cordial invitation to his friends and the public in general to visit the warerooms, where he will take pleasure in showing the Stieff plano and explain its harmonies, beauties, perfection, construc- tion ard style of manufacture. The pur- pose of establishing this branch wareroom In this elty, where heretofore the Stieff plano has been represented, is to afford a better opportunity for an irspection of what is regarded by thousands of pur- chasers as one of the best musical instru- ments on the market today. There are 191 beverages in Chr. Xander's stock at 909 7th street northwest, and the price list will be furnished on application. ‘Wines and lquors of every description are in stock, and deliveries are prompt. Port and sherry wine for Christmas are being offered by P. R. Wilson, 934 7th street, at $1.50 a gallon. ‘This offer will last two days longer, as well as an offer of five-year-old rye whisky for 70 cents a qiaft. Plum pudding, fruit cake, candies and all kinds of Christmas goods are sold at correspondingly low prices. Thcse who want a supply“of articles such aseare needed to trim Christmas trees will find a beautiful assortment at J. Jay Gould's, No. 421 9th street northwest. One of the finest stocks of sweetmeats and other good things for the holidays is to be-found at the store of Mr. J. H. Hunger- ford, corner of 9th and O streets north- west. Here are to be found figs, raisins, and all other delicacies needed to assist in enjoying the Christmas festivities. Sufferers from corns or bunions which they would cure would do well to see Pro- fessor J. J. Georges & No, 1115 Penn- sylvania avenue northwest. Mr. J. H. Corning, whose tile shop is at 520 and 622 13th street northwest, offers to Christmas buyers and all other kind of buyers, a assortment of wrought fron railir gg, gates, hinges, window guards, etc. ‘Thcse whe desire to see the Berlin art exhibition should at once visit Veerhoff’s the display will closed. >, aS to the public. Christmas floral work can be beautifully soon be executed by Mr. Gude, No, 1224 F street, whose reputation as @ designer of decora- tions extends far beyond the limits of the District of Columbia. Mr. James Tharp, of S12 F street assures the public that those who would keep the system in good condition ought by all means to use “Tharp’s old reliable Berkeley whisky.” Estabrook, the Christmas photographer, 1227 Pennsylvania avenue, offers a unique holiday gift, and one that will be sure to be appreciated. His gallery is on the ground floor; it takes but a moment to step in and see what you can do there. Useful articles are more prized than any others as holiday gifts in these practical days. Kneessi of 425,7th street sells about everything made of leather, except shoes. Collar and cuff portfolios, collar and cuff boxes, pocket bocks, etc,, make acceptable gifts. : Every one wants, to make presents at Christmas time, ard Mertz, the druggist at lith and F streets, ts lending a helping hand to all such people. He does this by quoting the lowest: prices imaginable on sterling silverware. A little money will be exchanged for a good deal of silver at Mertz’s. Those shoppers who buy a lamp worth $150 or more from Geo. F. Muth & Com- pany, 418 7th street: northwest, need not buy oil for a long time. A galion of Ry- neal’s royal security ofl goes with each lamp, and this offer will be good until Jan- uary 1. The banquet, piano and other lamps and handsome, assortment of onyx tables displayed by Muth & Company are worth sceing. The Christmas holidays constitute a period of rejoicing, and every one should be imbued with the holiday spirit. An aching tooth or one with a filling lost, how- ever, Is easily capable of transforming the festive Yuletide into a season of anguish and misery. The United States Dental As- sociation, 7th afd D streets, has earned an enviable repttation for accomplishing pain- less extracting and all classes of dental work in an artistic manner. The prices withal ure attractively reasonable. Johnson’s Universal Cyclopaedia is as- signed the foremost place in many libraries. Therefore no library is complete without it. It has the rare merit of being up to date in addition to treating’on a wide diversity of subject. This valuable work is handled by D. Appleten & Company, 437 7th street northwest. What is a Christmas breakfast without buckwheat cakes and‘sausage? And what is it if the sausage dre not the best? A. Loeffier's sausages are home-made and home-seasoned, and that’s why they are always so good. They are sold on the imaker’s stands in the different markets. e A variety enough oft stationery for gift giving ts to be found at Pursell’s, No. 418 9th street northwest. * Pursell sells all the finest makes in’ fancy bexes and at prices to suit. Give him a call and be convinced. pee fountain pens one, doliar cheaper than usual. Christmas is a natural reminder of New Year day, when folks usually turn over new leaves and make resolutions of a high cha: acter. It would be wise to begin January 1, a systematic saving, so as to be amply supplied with funds ‘Christmas a year hence, if for no other reason. The National Safe Deposit, Savings and Trust Company, 15th street and New York avenue, receives deposits from 10 cents upward, and allows interest on $ and more, The company also conducts safe deposit’ and trust depart- ments. A Columbia wheel would indeed be a princely gift In this gfft-giving season—a present that would give more genuine satis- faction than almost anything that could b: imagined, made by hands. The new *! model has distinct advantages over last year’s. Once give the wheel and the re- cipient can become an-expert rider in short order at the “Columbia Bicycle Academy” for a merely nominal fee. A useful as well as an ornamental Christ- mas gift is a handsome piano lamp or-a drop light, and no rethembrance would te appreciated more, especially by an clder person, than one of this character. C. A. Muddiman, 616 12th street and also 1204 G street has an immenee stock of these arti- cles, as well as some handsome stoves for either gas or oil, which would also frove very acceptablé as a Chrisimas cffering. Everything that could reasonably be de- sired in the way of Christmas presents, for the young folks and for those of older age, may be found, and at the very lowest prices, at the establishment of: the Syndi- cate Purchasing Company, 437 7th street. All who make purchdses amounting to one dollar or more are presented with a hand- some French bisque figure. “For Christmas gift-giving what would please a man more than a pair of our slip- pers?” asks Wilson, tlie dealer of fine foot- wear, at 920 F street. ‘He'll gratefully re- member the giver every time he slips them on around the house.” The goods offered at this house are comfortable, stylish and dur- able, described as an admirable trinity of footwear traits. It is claimed that they are the best and most economical shoes that can be worn. 4 Good advice to late buyers is to give a banquet lamp for Christmas. S. S. Shedd & Brother, 432 9th street, claim that their stock of banquet and parlor lamps was never more attractive than this season, while the prices were never so low. The de- signs are exceedingly tasteful and the prices in keeping therewith. Anything that is for home decoration never fails to make a most pleasing gift. Stately palms and other growing plants are most acceptable at Xmas. They are ex- tremely popular, too, as Xmas gifts, to judge by the number being sold by J. Louis Loose, corner 12th and F streets. This handsome store seems:to be busy day-and night, for Loose’s flowers and plants are famous for their freshness and beauty. It will be well for those who intend giving teas or receptions during the holidays to consult Mr. Loose. = st C. Rammiing’s, 312 Pennsylvania avenue und 649, 650 and 651 Center market,is one of the very few places where real home-made sausage and puddings may be obtained. Mr. Rammling prepares ali his own meats, and flavors his sausages in the old-fash- foned country style. Mr. Rammling also cures all his own hams, dresses all his fresh pork and prepares every pound of lard he sells. The Decorative Art Society of 807 Ver- mont avenue, oppositerthe Arlington Hotel, has on exhibition hundreds of beautiful art gcods of all kinds. Everything shown there has been made by, ladies of this city and designed especially for Xmas gifts. The establishment of the E. F. Brooks Company, 581 15th street, should prove a favorite mart for Christmas shoppers. A feature of the holiday trade at this house has been a great reduction in lamps and lamp globes. The firm states that it has not skipped a single lamp or decorated lamp globe, every one being reduced consider- ably, rather than to run the risk of carry- ing them over. In addition to lamps an elegant assortment of brass and iron open fireplace sets is displayed by the E. F. Brooks Company. A moré toothsome, more acceptable Xmas remembrance would be difficult to imagine than a beautiful box basket of Velati’s No finer candies are made in than Ve- lati’s, while the reputation-of ‘Velati’s cara- mels ig n Rajat Sagas In branch. store fia beet Spee at “Tell the conductor to let you off at Stol’s” ts a ph which 1s familiar to in this ane Specs sonteinpt, as ro) of si sheet oF ul‘ atemmpus Tay choo Et Guseriptions. the laundry once] It doubtedly “810” 7th street has come to be Known as the place where a sterling good shoe can be obtained at a very modest fig- ure, and the public knows it well. The store this Xmas has been thronged. There is no need of wasting any time wondering “where on earth I got this cola” after the days spent in the crush of the crowded, heated stores, with coats and wraps on and then emerging into the sud- den chill of the outside air. The best thing to do is to take the cold under treatment. and one way of preventing its developing into something serious is to get a bottle of Terraline and take the contents as directed. After all the extra walking that people do at Christmas time, ladies especially should not be surprised to find that the soles of their shoes are much thinner; that the toes of the shoes are shabby and scratched from being stepped upon in the crowded stores and cars. Then is the time to go to Havenner & Davis’, 928 F street, who are selling at very low prices $24,006 worth of shoes bought at the marshal’s sale. The collar and cuff question, that is, the question of laundering them, is an import- ant one. What man does not know the annoyance cause by the rasping of a frayed and roughened edge of collar upon the neck? That is caused very often by the defective laundry work. The Yale steam laundry, with its $50,000 plant, including the most modern. machinery and facilities, is designed to obviate the destruction of linen. Because there was a downfall of snow last night don’t conclude that a bicycle is not a suitable present for the holidays, for there is good weather ahead and the county roads are being made better every rmcnth. One of the celebrated Crawford wheels will fili the bill, and Mr. E. L. Whitford, the sole agent for them here, has a good stock on hand in his rooms over the Center market. < “Gloveopolis” is the unique name some bright woman has styled the Louvre Glove Co.’s store on F street. And surely the concern deserves the title if a stock of gloves that comprises every notion of the world’s greatest glove-makers counts for anything. Much of the Louvre’s popularity a to the low prices of everything they sell. The basement of Chas. Baum’s attractive department store, 416 7th street, might be aptly termed under present conditions “‘a world of books.” Many hundreds of at- tractive volumes tempt the book lover to spend lavishly. All the new and favorite writers of fiction and poetry are represent- ed, attractively bound, the prices but little most limits= enormous facilities- perfect system are alike the admiration and envy of entire Washington.

Xmas ofa on this gift-giving | The immense groce stores of G. G. | Cornwell & Son, 1412, 1414 and 1418 Penn- sylvania avenue, are thronged with buy- ers. It’s a household phrase now among housewives that “if you can't fi what | you want In other stores, go to Cornwell's. | They are certain to have it.” This ig especially true of Xmas groceries and dain- | tes. Every foot of available space is piled high with their huge display of candies, } nuts, fruits, conserves, fruit cake, mince | meat, plum’ pudding, rare old wines and | quors and the thousand and one “good things” without which no Xmas seems complete. Were shoppers to hunt the city over they could find no more useful, more tasteful, more acceptable gifts than those made of fine leather. At Conrad Becker's harness, trunk and jeather-goods emporium at 1328 F street, one can find a most at- tractive assortment of leacher goods. There are gifts fer ladies and men, girls and boys, and each one is a gift which will reflect rare taste on the giver, and be a joy to the recipient. For men there are dress suit cases, collar and cuff boxes, cigar and cigarette cases, spurs, saddl drinking cups, flasks, &c., while ladies will be delighted to receive a pocketbook or card case, alligator bags, traveling bags, penxnives and scissors, belts, &c. The establishment of Mess! Galt & Bros., jewelers, silversmiths and stationers, 1107 Pennsylvania avenue, is often referred to as “the Tiffany's of the South.” Their stock of gold and silver ware, jewelry, clocks and watches and noveities is com- plete and of standard merit.

His Wife Takes Home With Her the Inauguration Gown. President-elect McKinley left for Canton shortly after 10 o'clock last night. He left the home -of Mr. McWilliams at o'clock, and, in company with his wife, Mr. end Mrs. McWilliams and Capt. Heisland, was driven to the station.
