One of the most attractive holiday dis
plays is that in the big show windows of
VIM. Hahn & Co.'S shoe house. $50 and 932
tth street, that has drawn thousands of
delighted spectators. The scene represents
child's bed room on the night before
Christmas. A little girl is in bed sleepy
but trying to keep awake to see old Santa
fill her stocking. The little one rises up
automatically, opens her eyes. and seeing
nothing, goes to sleep again. The good
old saint then appears from behind the
screen, looks about. and, on seeing the child
move. again disappears. Some fine electri-
cal work was added by d. II. Washburn.
and the whole display reflects great credit
upon this enterprising firm.

A DRY FRIDAY.
Slightly Larger Crowd, but No Liquor
mt Ivy City.


AS stated in yesterdays Star. there was
slightly increased attendance at the Ivy
City track yesterday. The number of book
makers was also increased, and had not the
unsympathetic authorities shut up the I'M
licensed bars on the grounds, Mr.. Enge-
man would have had reason to feel greatly
encouraged, Notwithstanding the authorities
still insisted upon a furlong journey over
the board walk, or, as it has been dubbed,
1.-The midway plaisance," to the betting
tents on the backstretch. 1t was stated
that a local house mover had informed the
management that the grand stand and old
betting pavilion could be moved, and it was
given out that they would be moved to the
opposite side of the track, on the back
stretch, at once. With the exception of the
arrest of some touts and similar characters,
nothing else was done by the police to in
terfere with the phjianthropic efforts of
Mr.. Engeman to provide employment for
the army of invasion s-sm New Jersey now

Logan Carlisle makes a very conve-
nient scape goat. All the violations of
the spirit of civil service reform with
which Mr.. Cleveland was so thoroughly
imbued before election are being heaped
upon his head. 1t was the bad Logan
who turned out the chief of the station
cry division of the Treasury, it was the
bad Logan who metaphorically kicked
out the poor clerk who appealed for
short respite to allow him to earn little
money to pay his debts, and all the pre-
dictions of further changes contrary to
the spirit of civil service reform are
based upon his innate wickedness. Lo-
gan, one would judge from the Mug

Dwiggins's banks, which have tumbled
over like row of bricks, were small and
miserably managed concerns, and their
failure is not significant in itself of any
bad financial conditions. The losses
which it will entail will be small. But
there is some danger that the moral eff
feet may be serious. All banking insti-
buttons rely to a considerable degree up
on public confidence. They assume that
comparatively little of the money depos-
tied in them will be wanted at any one
time, and when public sentiment is in
normal condition that it is perfectly
safe assumption. Anything that tends
to create distrust tends to destroy the
normal condition on which the banks re-
ly, and must to considerable extent. In
this direction lies the danger of the fail
ure of Dwiggins's institutions. They
are scattered over a large territory, and
therefore the effect on public confidence
is likely to be more widespread than
would be the effect of the collapse of a
larger and more important institution in
one town or city. A good many Of them,
too, are in small places, which are partic-
ularly susceptible to s'scares.'
