A Representative lee Compnny,

"The Independent" Ice Company ranks
among the most prominent firms In this
city and Of whose reliability and integrity
there is no question. They have all the
requisite steam facilities for handling Ice at
their wharves and an immense supply con-
stantly In stock, both here aud at their ex-
tensive plant on the banks of the Kennebec
River, Maine. Mr.. G. B. Church, the popu-
lar president, and Mr.. W. IL. Yerkes, the
energetic superintendent, are two promi-
nent and favorably well-known business
gentlemen and under whose personal man
agement their large and increasing busi-
ness ia conducted. This company and its
corps Of obliging employees are known to
almost every household in Washington.
They can furnish all the Ice necessary for
the entire season, aud do II promptly and
at prices which no honorable competitor
can defy. Their main Office is on the corner
Of Pennsy lvania avenue and Twelfth street
northwest, and the principal depots are at
BIOS Water street, Georgetown, and at the
foot Of Ninth street wharf. The company's
magnificent ice fleet Of mammoth three
masted schoOners are constantly plying be-
tween this city and Pittston, Me, keeping a
full supply for The urgent demands from
their thousands of wholesale and retail
patrons
The dangerous and magnificent three
mnsted schooner James s. Lowell, whose
reputation is known far and wide as the
craft which ran down the Tallapoosa of the
United States Navy last season, is now
lying at the company's wharf, foot of Ninth
street. Also another one of their fleet, the
Carrie A. Norton, is at the same wharf dis
charging q cargo of ice.
For apparent danger on the high seas, the
navy must I've on the lookout for the Lowell,
for her reputation for danger is well estab-
lishcd, and for fast-sailng vessel, but not
the least dangerous, the handsome Norton
stands emnently prominent.

Excellent Neivhborhood Wines

Among the wines sampled yesterday at
the exposition Of the Viticulturists In Ma
sonic Hall were the wines made from
grapes grown either in the District of Co.
lumbia or in Fairfax County, Va, by the
well-known wine merchant Christ. Xander,
of No. 900 Seventh street northwest. These
wines were pure and Of very agreeable
taste. They compare favorably with the
wines of Charlottesville, Va, OF New York
and New Jersey. A Frenchman would
classify them rs "bon ordiuairen and
"superieufe." These wines can be heartily
recommended to such consumers who ap-
preciate Il wholesome and nourishing table
beverage. Besides, the grapes out of which
among u.s. and, as good citizens, Washing
tonians should patronize home industry.
