A VISIT TO o'NEILL's.

Excellent Display of Househoid Goods
Christmas Gifts In Endless Variety.
With the first snow storm come
thoughts Of Christmas and never do the
stores present SO attractive and pretty an
appearance as at this time. 1t is a little
early yet for Christmas preparations, but
many of the stores are beginning to dis
play their Christmas stock. I visited the
fine large store of O'Neill's on Sixth ave-
nue. yesterday and WIS much surprised at
the elaborate display they are already
making. The store occupies an entire
block between Twentieth and Twenty
first streets and Is a handsome, spacious
building. Within every attention is paid
to the comfort Of the customers and the
staff Of employees are very expeditions IN
executing their work la all the depart
ments many novelties are shown
but a specially Is being made of the
goods In the housekeeping department.
This is found on the basement floor, and
within the last two months has been
greatly enlarged. At the upper end of
This doc Is displayed In au artistic man
ner a fine assortment OF II glass aud
china ware. The cut glass is OF the best
manufactures, being Dorhinger'. Clark's
and Da Barcarat. The patterns are IN
the newest styles. chrysanthemum and
BarthoIdi being given the preference.
The assortment Is very large and varied.
Beautiful punch aud wine sets In Boz
hemfan glass are receiving much atten-
ton aud admiration.
Near by the cases where the glass Is
shown are long tables on which are ar
rayed various styles Of china. Royal
Worcester ware In many new designs,
Azalea ware, Pointons, English ware in
all conceivable shapes, and in an almost
unlimited display. Entree dishes, after
dinner, and tea sets, and game and fish
sets ia fine French china and other costly
wares, fancy fruit and salad dishes, celery
trays and dinner sets III all the latest pat
terms and newest styles are being offered
as suitable gifts for Christmas.
Other attractive features in the house
keeping department are the handsome
brass ~firesets aud coal vases, the work
baskets of many unique designs and all
sorts OF housekeeping utensils, which are
offered at wonderfully cheap prices. Pic
lures are ramed in on department
while you wait. and nearby is a minia-
ture bakery. The novelty of this little
bakery is the new pan. int which the
cake batter may be poured without first
having to grease the pan. When the
cake is bsKed IL can be aiken from the
pan without the least trouble by means
OF slides. These pans. so useful to every
housekeeper, are being sold separately or
In sets, together with O measuring cup
and twelve cake recipes. Opposite this
is a little department where u speciality is
made of coffee and coffee pots. The latter
is quite a new patent, and the coffee.
which is first pulverized, is placed IN u
filter and hot water poured ON it. This
insures a cup of clear and excellently
favored coffee.
Toys of many kinds. dolls, carriages
and other novelties for children are being
given particular attention, and the as
sortment is unusually large. In the
other departments Christmas is not for
gotten. and the stock is being daily in
creased with unique novelties suitable
for gifts at this season. O'Neill's Is one
of the most reliable as well as one of
the most reasonable and convenient OF the
emporiums, and ladies krom this city
will bewell repaid by a visit to this store.
For the cure Of the Inflammation and con.
gestion called "a cold in the head" there is
more potency in Ely's Cream Balm than in any
thing else it Is possible to prescribe. This pre-
