FEEDING THE HUNGRY.
Good samaritans who Cared for the
Poor Spiritually and Temporarily.

A great many people who had no dinner Of
their own were provided for through the gen.
efosity of the Central Union Mission at their
rooms, 900 Pennsylvania avenue, yesterday
afternoon. For the past week the members OF
that hard.working little mission have been
preparing to do good work in n practical as
well as spiritual sense. "For you know" said
a bright little lady, who had been an earnest
worker In the band, 1--WE mean TO give food TO
those who need, as well us prayer for those
who chose" md both were dispensed by the
two score of fair ladies with Chrlstlanliko gen.
erosity. On tho second floor of the building,
the upper part Of which is occupied by tho
mission, the MONDAY yprayermeeting was held.
Every available bit of space was taken up, and
over the shoulders Of the members peerod
ger or trouble, each countenanco wearing q
wistful and eager expression.
These people, attracted by the notice Of tho
religious exercises, and, although many were
very hungry, and some had possibly not par
takenof food for q day or more, they restrained
hymns, swelling the refrain OF each until It
was borne out into the busy avenue and at
tracted the attention Of the passers-by.

with no end OF vegetables and fruit and pies.
There was enough food TO satisfy an army, but
II was all needed, though there was no lack.
The ladies, under the direction of the chair
man, Mrs. Hitchcock, and representing all tho
Methodist churches, prepared the food, aud
for oyor three hours they had as much as they
could do.
At o'clock the rooms were thrown open,
and the poor. though as a rule respectable and
well hammered, began TO crowd in As many
as could crowded into the room and took tho
seats ut the tables, while Others stood up and
consumed the food before them. There were
q great many people in the assemblage who
had seen better days. and these could be de-
tected by their shy requests and proper con-
duct in partakng of the food before them.
Between o'clock and o'clock over 800 peo-
pie, white ana colored, young and old, OF all
sexes, condition.. and creed, were ied.=-.In
some instances the guests were permitted To
take portions of repast home 10 those too proud
or unable TO come In person.
~ tell you" said a little old man to woman
who accompanied him as they came down the
steps that feed was good, and these kind peo
pie have my blessing, II It viii do any good"
These and similar expressions were heard
and there is no doubt that the persons who 80
generously contributed to the repast would
feel themselves well paid for their trouble, and
gratified by the comment of their poor guests.

The Desire of n Jury to Eat Its
Thanksgiving Mt Home Places
Murder Case in IA Strange Position.
Before the criminal court reconvened yes
terday 1t was known that the jury in the case
of Charles Hamilton, indicted for the murder of
George A. HILL who had spent the night in
their room, had reached an agreement and
the general beliefwas that n verdict for man
slaughter had been found. Subsequent devel-
opments proved this to be correct. All the par
ties interested in the case being in court, the
Jury was brought down at 1855, and upon IN
quiry by the clerk announced their verdict as
above stated.
Mr.. Miller gave notice of a motion for q new
trial and in arrest of Judgment.
II don't think l shall oppose II. l don't
know any one more opposed to this verdict
than am" said the district attorney.
"Well, gentlemen" said the judge, "you will

Under this state circumstances the verdict
OF manslaughter was returned, and II seems

The fact now presents itself that the Jury re-
turned q verdict guilty of manslaughter, but

The verdict debars n second trial for murder,
because the jury has pronounced the defendant
not guilty ofthat crime. The government in

OUR THEME TODAY

Is Overooats. Our stock is
large and varied, and, as
newspaper space is expen-
sive, we must limit our
selves to talking to YOU
about one thing at a time.
We do not say to you that
we have more Overcoats
than all the other clothing
houses combined. Tt would
not be true if we did; but
we do say, and stake our
claim to honesty on the
truth of our statement, that
we have as large a variety,
as well selected an assort-
ment, as elegantly cut,
made, and trimmed stock
of Overcoats for M g n ,
Youths, and Boys as those
who make higher claims
can show you, and at prices
fully 25 per cent. below
what you have heretofore
paid for goods of the same
quality. In saying this we
do not ask you to take our
unsupported statement, but
we wish to remind you in
the most respectful manner
that you have every oppor-
tunity of inquiring into the
correctness of our claim.
Look around, exercise your
faculties, judge for your
selves, post yourselves on
the value of goods. IF you
do these things, and the saw
ing of money is any consid-
Grafton to you, you will
quickly decide where your
best interest lie. In sub
mitting to you through the
papers our claim to selling
fine Clothing at popular
prices, we use plain and
simple language. We en-
ploy no man of lie tt Q r s
to use solete words
and high sounding Latin
phrases with W h j G h to
mystify you. Truth lends
us force. We need no scribe.
We have Overcoats for sale
in all weights, colors, styles,
and fabrics, ranging in price
from 81 to $40. No ready
made Overcoat is worth
more. We respectfully in
vite you to examine o u r
stock. We know too well
what is due to an invited
guest to treat you otherwise
than with courtesy and re-
spect, whether you come to
look or buy.
