Christian Xandar.

Importer OF fine wines, liquors, cigars,
etc. 1t would be extremely difficult to
name branch Of business more important
in its relations to other lines Of trade and
industry than that devoted to the sale OF
liquors and cigars, and 1t is one demanding
on the part OF those engaged In 1t the
highest quality. When house has en-
joyed liberal patronage and popularity
for a long term OF years, 1t is an evidence OF
the fact that Its management is character
lied by integrity, ability and good judg-
ment. Such nre the circumstances con
nected with the Wholesale and retail estab ?
lishment Of Christian Sander, which Is SO
advantageously located ut No. OIL Seventh
street northwest, which was founded IN
1866, and has ever since held prominent
position in the trade. The premises occu-
pied are spacious and commOdious, and
there may be found fun and complete
stock OF foreign aud domestic wines and
llqors, embracing the choicest vintage OF
the Old World aud the celebrated dlstilla-
tions OF our own country. The
finest brands OF Cognac are i'm
ported directly in casks to sup.
ply this branch Of trade. His trade
In native wines has gained such dimensions
that Mr.. Hander controls grape crops Of II
large number of farms located In Virginia
and Maryland, He is himself au expert
dlstiller All the goods in the store are
known for their uniform reliability, aud
those desiring stimulants OF absolute purity
may safely avail themselves OF the oppor-
lunity offered by this house to procure such
liquors at the most reasonable prices,
special attention being given to family
trade. The house is known to always have
on hand superior reserved stock OF old
liquors and wines for medicinal purposes

Douglass & Bro.

1t is great pleasure to record the bust
ness character Of such houses as the one
above named, which has SO long been en-
gagged in trade, and on account OF its'ex-
tensive operations has become most i'm
portant addition to the Industries Of
Washington. OF such houses It is not
necessary to speak any words Of praise;
their very existence is more emphatic evi-
dence OF the honorable position they occupy
and the long course Of faithful dealing they
have pursued. Such an establishment Is
that Of Messrs. Douglass Il Bro, Nos. SEQ
to 526 Ninth street northwest, who estab-
lished this business some years ago, and
ever since its foundation has enjoyed a lib
eral and flrst-class patronage, derived from
the best classes of society. The premises
occupied are very commodous, and
equipped with every facility and appliance
for the display Of the varied stock
and the comfort OF customers. The stock
comprises full and complete assortment
ofladies' and gents furnishing goods, fancy
goods, notions, underwear, gloves, hosiery,
etc., for the best style, quality and fashion,
suitable for the season. Popular prices
prevail In this establishment, polite aud at
tentive assistants serve customers intelll-
gently and promptly. The stock carried is
direct from first hands, and has been care
fully selected for tlrst-class trade, aud
inducements can be obtained at this house
that cannot be excelled by any other in
Washington. Personally the proprietors
have made hosts of friends in consequence
Of their kind and courteous manners and
strict integrity.

Allison Nailor, Jr,

1t is matter Of public interest, and one
Of eongratulation on the part Of the citizens
Of Washington, that they are supplied with
such an elegant livery stable as that of Mr..
Allison Nailor, corner Fourteenth street
and Pennsylvania avenue, which was
founded by him some years ago. His es-
Establishment has frontage Of 200 feet and q
depth of the same. Adjoining the stables
are Mr.. Nailor's coach shops, where all his
repairing is done, and his blacksmith shop.
This will give some idea Of the magnitude
Of bis business. His turnouts are every
where conceded to be the most stylish and
the finest in the city, embracing nearly
every kind OF vehicle used In the business.
Mr.. Nailor is the owner of the Gurney cabs,
of which he has large number, and has the
exclusive right to run the same In the Dis
trict, for which privilege he paid large
sum Of money. He also has o line Of han
som cabs, while his fine stock Of horses
number several hundred. Mr.. Nailor is q
native Of Washington, and is highly re-
spected for his strict integrity, and Is
thoroughly conversant with every detail OF
the business and the requirements Of the
Dublic.

One Of the distinctive industries Of Wash
iDgton, and which has contributed materi-
ally to its commercial prosperity is its ex-
tensive house furnishing goods trade. The
most prominent house engaged In this line
Of trade is that Of Mr.. Il. Goldschmid,
No. Sl2 Seventh street northwest, which
was founded in 1870. The premises occu-
pied are very commodious, which contains
an area Of over l10,0 900 feet Of show room,
and since its foundation this store has been a
most reputable one, and always completely
stocked In the entire comprehensive field
OF the house furnishing goods trade. lie
carries large assortment OF crockery,
glassware, toys, picture frames, bicycles,
fancy goods, children's carriages, refrigera-
tors, fancy chinaware, travelling trunks,
and full line Of tinware, and buying as
largely as he does and possessing such ex-
tensive facilities, the house is universally
lowness Of prices. 1t is incum-
bent on buyers, in the advancement
Of their own interests that they bear in
mind this establishment when desiring
goods in this line, for this house can con-
fer inducements and benefits which are
proportionate to the unusual facilities In
Its possession, and during he period since
it's establishment 1t has annually added to
its reputation by faithful ministrations to
it's patrons and is now prominent factor
Of the commercial importance of Washing-
ton, commanding the confidence and sup
port Of widely-extendod trade. Mr..
Goldschmid is an energetic business man
and has done much to the Improvement OF
Washington in the building of fine resi-
dences. He has lately built six fine houses
corner of Fifteenth street and Massachu-
sets avenue, and three fine houses corner
of Twelfth and N streets. The class of resi-
dences Mr.. Goldschmid builds are very
sale for them before they are completed.
Mr.. Goldschmid and family will sail for
Europe on a pleasure and business trip
combined, where he will buy large stock
for his fall trade.

Among the various learned professions
are none that require 80 much skill and
accuracy as that which is devoted to the
preparation OF drugs aud medicines, for
upon the attention and care given to the
compounding Of physicians prescriptions
and family recipes the lives of many per
sons daily depend. Prominent among those
engaged in the drug business is Mr..
Edward 2. Mertz, who is graduate in
pharmacy and has had long experience in
compounding drugs, and for the last ten
yenrs engaged by the well-known druggist,
John X. Major, has recently fitted up the
handsome drugstore, corner OF L and
Eleventh streets. The premises occupied
are very elegant and commodious and com
pletely stocked with choice assortment OF
fresh, pure drugs and chemicals, proprietary
medicines, toilet articles, perfumery, do>
mestic and foreign mineral waters, surgeons
requisites and other articles that properly
pertain to q ilrst-class druggist establish
ment. Mr.. Mertz makes a speciality OF
compounding physicians prescriptions and
family recipes, which are always prepared
In an accurate and prompt manner from
the finest and purest drugs. All modern APP
planes to secure accuracy have been pro-
vided, and no one more fully appreciates
the responsibility that rests upon him when
preparing prescriptions than Mr.. Mertz. En-.
terprisipg and reliable, courteous and exact,
and those giving their orders to this concern
will obtain advantages difficult to be oh.

Proceedings of the Session of the

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 21.-The giving up of the
Knight Templar parade today, caused much
disappointment as 10000 men were to have
been in line, and it was to have been the
feature of the Conclave Late this afternoon
it was determined to give the grand parade
Thursday morning starting at II O'Clock and
following general orders are prescribed for
today.
The Grand Encampment began its session
at 12 80 today. Sir Knight Charles ROOme of
New York city, presided in the absence of
Sir Knight Robert Enoch Withers, who
came from Hong Kong to attend the conclaye
but is confined to his room by illness. Vari-
GUS reports were made, showing the growth
and prosperity of the order. Grand Master
Withers' report states that 13 communicates
have been constituted the past year, chiefly
in the Northwestern States and Territories,
Dakota coming in for the largest share. The
Grand Master recommends that the bonds of
the Grand Treasurer and Grand Recorder be
reduced to $4,000 each. Acting Grand
state and local be left to Grand
Communicates and not to the Grand En-
campment. This is the point of conflict
between members of the latter body, and if
they shall decide it, the Grand Master pre-
diets that its present session will be one of
the most important in the history of
American Templars. Tomorrow will be an
