OF ALL ADVANTAGES offered to purchasers
the most liberal anu the most sensible is that
given by Mr.. Ridden, the well-known furniture
dealer at $50 and 932 18th street northwest. For
small cash payment you can furnish your
home IN the most attractive and comfortable
manner. and while enjoying the benefits of it
you are paving for it IN such way as hardly
TO miss the sums spent. The problem of how
to make home happy has never. in our opinion
received a better solution than that offered by
Dir. Ridden to make it attractive at the low
prices and easy terms given to purchasers at
his establishment. Give him a call.

A YEAR OF PROSPERITY.
The Good Results Of Rev. j. j. Muir's
ILLUSTRATIONS I'm This City.


Rev. J. J. Muir pastor Of the Street Baptis
Church is OF English-Scotch parentage. AL
though but forty three years old he has spen
about twenty years in the ministry. In
little village in New Jersey, called Montana
this divine was ordained and after filling sew
eral pulpits in country districts he was called
as pastor Of the McDougal Street Church in
New York city. at which church he spent sew
eral years.
From there he accepted call to the North
Church. Philadelphia, IN which field he
labOred seven years. The North Church under
the patorate Of the Rev. Dir. Muir became a
great missionary field and received number
of converts into ITS membership.
A little over year ago he preached a sermon
at the L Street Baptist church in tins city.
which was then without pastor. The con-
gregatlon was then q small one, but the men,
bers were SO well pleased with his sermon that
they extended TO him call. which he accepted.
and during the one year that he has presided
over the flock the membership of the church
has been largely increased, and the congrega-
ton has been doubled. During the year of
prosperity new choir has been added to the
church and several new societies have been
formed.
The old building has been greatly improved
and the members are now discussing the pur-
chase of a new site and the erection of q new
church editice.

NEW YORK. Sept. 4.-Ten or twelve
years ago it was much more difficult to
get society Rews than it is now There
were very few, if any, trained female
reporters, and the men who were will
ing to do such work were generally a
very poor lot. At one time we had a
curiously ignorant fellow OF unbounded
industry and most admirable impudence
10 assist in this work. He got facts in
an almost embarrassing quantity, and
these were written up for him after he
returned to the Office. He walked up
and down Fifth and Madison ave
nues every afternoon during the enter
tanning season, and wherever there was
an awning over the sidewalk he would
60 In, and by hook or by crook learn all
that there was to be learned. He did
not in the least look like reporter
that is. like the popular idea of "a report
er-and he could with entire gravity as
snme any character that for the moment
would suit his purpose. His object was
10 see the mistress Of the house. Then
he assumed his character of reporter
If she objected to giving him any facts
he would argue the point with her until
she saw the matter in the proper light.
and came TO the conclusion that If any
thing were 10 be said il were better that
it should be accurately said.
When Gen. Garfield was to be in
augurated as president this man was
sent to Washington to assist in The prep
aration Of the account of the inaugural
bah. The telegraph at that time was
not used as extensively Is il now Is, and
an effort was usually made to get as
much Of the material by mail in adj
vance as possible This society reporter
was asked 10 get descriptions OF the
dresses which ladies Of prominence
would wear at the ball As soon as
Gen. aud Mrs Garfield reached Wash
ington oUr reporter called on the presi-
dent elect. and said he wanted to get a
description Of the dress Mrs Garfield
was 70 wear at the ball The general
said the dresses were not unpacked The
reporter departed and called again. The
dresses were yet unpacked Again aud
again he called, always to he pat OF.
Atlength he caught the general and said
e. him in his breezy way.
'See here, general. You are busy and
arm busy. it wouid save time for both q
Va if you would let me see that dress
now.
Gen. Garfield evidently recognized the
truth og this. and took the reporter al
once 70 Nrs. Garfieli's apartments. where
the dress was displayed and the reporter
dismissed A few moments later he en-
tered the Washington Office II his news
