A’ LETTER. * To the public, espe- cially old patrons; to the employes, particularly those of many years’ serv- ice, The Palais Royal proprietor wishes to give hearty thanks — on this last day of the old year, which has been the most successful in the career of The Palais Royal. While such success must first be the outcome of the good will and pat- ronage of the public, ma- terially helped by the services of- able and faith- ful employes, the supple- mentary causes have been stocks of greater. quan- tity and variety than in past years, and, because of greater buying and selling—lesser prices. Significant, too, that The Palais Royal should have flourished most dur- ing the dull times from which we are just emerg- ing. Is it illogical to state that it is during such times that people use greatest judgment and care in theire expen- ditures? And is it ego- tistical to add that The Palais Royal's __ service must have best met the requirements of the times? So, therefore, on this eve of the New Year The Palais Royal pro- prictor is full of pride and thankfulness and pos- sessed of such confidence in the future that un- usual preparations have been made for 1898. One feature will be the opening of virtually two new stores, for the sale of articles at the uniform prices of 4 cents and g cents. This may seem almost a_ trifling statement, but time will prove that every home in Washington shall be benefited. The department de- voted to Housekeeping Goods is to be much enlarged. Contracts for Table and Bed Linens have been made where- by the leading makers of Ireland, Scotland and Germany are to be rep- resented, and prices quo- ted for best of goods that cannot but appeal to every housekeeper. The Annual January Sale of Cotton Under- wear has been for years a looked-for event. To write that we are to eclipse all past sales, both in quantities, variety and values, is a_ state- ment that will gratify The Palais Royal’s reg- ular patrons. Already prepared to supply all demands for Evening Dress. Benga- line and other.Silks that Dame Fashion dictates for 1898 are here in all the wanted effects. The gauzes and exquisitely embroidered Chiffons now here will also command the admiration of soci- ety’s elite. It will not be contradicted that The Palais Royal has always been headquarters for Laces and Draperies. For the convenience of our patrons and to connect the name of The Palais Royal with every evening dress need we shall show Silks, Trimmings, Neckwear, Stockings, Gloves, and Ribbons “to match in shade, in many instances the goods having been dyed to our special or- der. In no instance have trashy goods been toler- ated, while lowest quo- tations are guaranteed for the best. A. LISNER. YOUNG - LADIES -OF_ DIXIE Brilliant Social Event U Direction stigmas as 2 Sons of, Veterans the Ga: ing a Chief Featare—Pe: Society in weeeret: “The Young Ladies of bss Big ao enter- tained ‘the Sons of Conf té Veterans and their friends last evening at a dance in Confederate Veterans’ Hall, which was one of the most enjoyable social events of the season. The hall was tastefully deco- rated for the occasion and the girls from Dixie land proved charming hostesses. The music was just right, and from an early hour until after midnight more than 100 couples held possession of the floor. The dance was the first of a series to be given by the young ladies, who will at once effect the organization of a permanent society, and probably adopt the name men- tioned. It will be a sort of sister organi- zation to the Sons of Confederate Vete- raps, and the members mean to take and maintain a place in the very lead of the front rank, socially. The chaperones last evening were Mrs. Senator J. K. Jones, Mrs. Senator Vest, Mrs. Judge Howery, Mrs. Henry R. Gib: son, Mrs. James L. Pugh, Mrs. John T Callaghan, Mrs. Marcus Wright, Mrs. John M.

Powell delivered an interest- ing address upon the subject of “How To Make Voters” before the Columbia Wo- man’s Suffrage Association, in the parlors of Willard’s Hotel, last night. It was the initial lecture of a course to be given under the auspices of the association. Mr. Pow- ell’s remarks were made up for the most part upon the philosophy of education. He asked his auditors to first consider how the morey appropriated for school purposes is erypended, and what results follow. He then spoke of the serious responsibility that rests upon the voters, and of the greater re- sponsibilities upon those who are engaged in the education of those who vote. He dwelt at some length upon tne manner of teaching the rising yofers, and said it was a question of being governed by others or educating the young so they may be able to govern themselves. A general discussion of the subject of education, led by Dr. Alexander Kent, fol- lowed Mr. Powell’s lecture. Others who spoke upon the subject were Mrs. Clara Bewick Colby, Mrs, Gillett and Dr. W. A. Croffut. ——— N42 Delightful at Fortress Monroe. These are delightful days to be at Fort- ress Monroe or Virginia Beach, and Wash- ingtonians who intend to spend New Year away from home will find no other place within many miles of the city where the holiday can be more pleasantly spent. The steamers of the Norfolk and V hington Steamboat Company have been the favorite reute with travelers ever since made their first trip between the capital city and the seaboard. It is the only direct route, which means an absence of detays und in- conveniences which so often happea when ccnnections must be made. The steamers of this line are the largest, finest vessels that have ever been in service on the Vo- tomac and Chesapeake bay? and are models of what modern passenger steamers should be. One of the steamers of this Jine leaves the company’s wharf, foot.of Zth street, every evening in the year 7 oslock, and arrives at Fortress Monroe at 7 #'clock, at Norfolk at 8 o'clock, and at mofaing. at 8 o'clock the following miofning.

THE EVENING STAR, ‘FRIDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1897-14 PAGES, DISTRICT CHARITIES Coming Report of the Congressional Select Committee. RESULT OF 13 . INVESTIGATION History of the Local Institutions Compiled. PURPOSE OF THE WORK ——— ee Shortly after Congress reconvenes there will be a meeting of the joint select com- mittee to investigate the charities and re- formatory institutions of the District of Co- lumbla, of which Senator McMillan is chairman, and it is believed a report fram this committee to Congress will be made promptly. This joint select committee. was author- ized to carry on its work through a provi- sion in the District of Columbia appropria- tion bill approved June 11, 1896, as follows: The Authorization. “And it is hereby declared to be the policy of the government of the United States to make no appropriation of money or prop- erty for the purpose of founding, maintain- ing, or aiding by payment for services, ex- penses, or otherwise, any church or re- ligious denomination, or any institution or society which is under sectarian or eocle- siastical control; and it is hereby enacted that, from and after the 30th day of June, 1897, no money appropriated for charitable purposes in the District of Columbia, shall be paid to any church or religious denom- ination, or to any institution or society which is under sectarian or ecclesiastical control. “That a joint select committee is hereby authorized, to consist of three senators to be appointed by the presiding officer of the Senate, and three members of the House of Representatives to be appointed by the Speaker of the House, which select commit tee shall make investigation of the char ities and reformatory institutions of the District of Columbia, and especially of those for which appropriations are made by this act, as respects their relations te the government of the District of Columbia and to the United States, whether by special charter or otherwise, their efficiency, their management and resources, whether by ap- propriations, investments or otherwise, and also what portion, if any, of appropriations heretofore made to them have been used for the purpose of maintaining or aiding by payment for services, expenses, or other- wise any church or religious denomination or any institution or society which is under sectarian or ecclesiastical control; whether such charitable or reformatory institutions are effective and economical in their organ- ization, methods and expenditure to provide for the poor and destitute in the District of Columbia; whether it is practicable for the Commissioners or other authorit District to make contracts or to otherwise provide for such care of the poor and a titute with any of said institutions, and if 0, which of them and to what ‘extent, within the limitations of the policy herein- before declared; and if not, ihe probable expense of providing and maintaining pub- lic institutions for such purpose. “Said com report 23 soon as practic > beginning o} the next st s including in them deemed adv! as respects methods of dealing with the charitie the reformatory institutions of said Dis: trict.

The District priation act, approved March 3, 1S! peated the declaration of policy stat viously and provided for a continuation of the work. Under this authority hearings were conducted, during which representa- tives of all the charitable and reformaiory institutions in the District gave testimony regarding the work in wi were ergaged. During the last recess of Congress, c the joint compiling all data on the s institutions, which included th and a general history of charitabt and re- formatory work here since the administra- tion of Jefferson. This compilation makes a book of about 2) pages, and will doubt- less be the authority on such matters in the future. Up to the time Mr. Moore un- dertook this work, which has involve extensive research, stitutions existed in fragm: form, and in many insiances could be se- cured only from persons whose i y with them had extended back many The work will contaii trations, and is divided into sixteen ters, as follows First general hospital, government hos- pital for the insane, government hospitals, general hospitals, hospitals for general classes, foundling asylums, orphan as lems, industrial schools, institutions for women, homes for the aged, temporary refuges for men, reformatory institutions, relief for the poor, organization of chari- ties and board of children’s guardians. The compilation will also contain report of Drs. Hurd of Johns Hopkins Hespital and Chapin of Pennsylvania Hospital on the hospitals of the District of Columbia, report of the health officer as to the sani- tary condition of ail these institutions, recommendations of the Medical Society of the District of Columbia on the hospitals here, statement by the Treasury Depart- ment of appropriations for all these insti- tutions since 1877, statement by the sani- tary officer of all persons placed in these institutions by him, and a statement by the Commissioners of the District cf Co- lumbia of property of these institutions here that is not taxed. All this information will be before the jeint select committee, when it meets after the holidays, and it is believed but little time will be required in which to agree upon a report to Congress and formulate it so that appropriations may be made in conformity with its recommendations. a COMMISSIONERS OBJECT. Disapproval of Pending Houxe Bill No. ss. In a letter to Chairman Babcock of the House District committee the Commission- ers say in reporting on House bill 4598, “to secure adequate compensation for the right to construct, use, or extend and operate street railroads in the District of Colum- bia,” that they are unable to recommend favorable action on the measure. “The bill,” the Commissioners say, “pro- pese to require that the right to occupy public space in the District of Columbia for street railway purposes shall be sold at public auction to the highest bidder. The Commissioners are unable to recommend favorable action upon this measure. In re- cent years Congress, in granting charters to street railway companies in the District, has required the companies to pay 4 per cent of their earnings as taxes. It seems to the Commissioners that it is a much better plan to require, by law, the com- panies to pay for their privileges in a fair percentage of their gross earnings than to leave the matter to the uncertainties of a public auction, where an absurdly low price or an excessive one may be bid, to the dis- advantage of the government in one case or of the company in the other, neither of which is desirable for the ‘public good. Another reason is that Washington is in @ different category from other cities in this country, inasmuch as it is always pos- sible for Congress to amend railway char- ters granted by it, to require such better- ment of service and to impose such taxes as may be deemed wise and ad’ os 3 i F i i ake.
