known TO the police, came near killing

The Baptist Home.

The Gay Street Baptist Home, which IL
supported by all the Baptist churches OF
Washington, was full of good cheer and
delicious Christmas stuffs today. The do
nations were heaping in quantity and lus-
cious in quality. An old-time table was
spread at o'clock and the eight old ladies'
who have found a comfortable resting
place there in their declining years gather
ed about it. Mrs. Philip. the matron OF
the home, presided and saw that all were
satisfied to the superlative degree. The
religious services during the day consisted
of prayer and the reading Of the Scrip
lures morning and evening. Some OF those
physically able attended services In the
forenoon at the Gay Street Church.
The Baptist Home Is on good footing
The house is a large and comfortable one,
on N street between sd and Potomac
streets. Its furnishings are far above those
generally adopted by institutions. There
are not only the necessities OF such place
visible but there is a general air OF home
comfort pervading the entire place.

were all particularly bright, even Mrs. Bot
tonus, who has seen more years than any
of her fellow inmates. and who has gone
some distance beyond the octogenarian
milestone, joining in with a cheerfulness
ana vigor that was surprising. The thir-
teen present at the home did not have
big invited dinner. 1t was thought best
by the guardians to bestow the Christmas
luxuries individually upon the old ladies,
and, accordingly a splendid basket OF all
that goes to make up holiday spread
was given each. These were taken to the
rooms Of their possessors and fingered
over the whole of the evening.
The Aged Woman's Home used to be
well supported by Georgetown merchants
and donations were frequent. or late
years, however, the help received generally,
has not been so liberal, through the dying

dies in charge, however, see that the same

efforts on their part. The patrons OF the

This organization was effected Saturday

have to down Committeeman Chandler and
King to do it. In their sentiments they
were very 0utspokeD. saying that the put

They are not worrying themselves much

this district was treated in the city and

ARCHIBALD WIThDRAWS.
He Is in Favor of James McNab for
Sheriff.


The struggle for the Sherivalty has as
sumed a new phase and one which means
the election of James McNab, the candi-
date of the Citizens Non-Partisan party
for the office. The new turn was brought
about by the Withdrawal of p. l.. Archibald,
the candidate of the Peoples party, owing
10 Illness. in favor Of Mr.. McNab. The
official notification of the withdrawal of
Mir. Archibald was made public yesterday.
Mr.. McNab now stands as the most
prominent candidate. The charges which
were made against him by morning Jour
nal were refuted yesterday by scores Of
Mr.. McNab's friends. They stated defiu-
itely and firmly that Mr.. McNab does not
belong to any employers association, and
that he never paid reduced wages to his
employees. AS a matter of fact they say
that he pays higher wages than any other
in the same line of business. Bis en-
ployeS are the best and most competent in
their line. He has big payroll aud main
tanned wages long after every one else had
reduced them. Sons of his men have
been in his employ for fifteen years.
Among those who thus speak of him are
G. B. Rode of c. B. Rode & Co. and Mr..
Renner Of the Stetson-Renner Draying
Company
w. j. Ruddick, the Republican nominee
for Sheriff, is not business man. but has
always been political otfice-holder. He
has been in the mint, Custom-hOuse, AS
SCISSORS office and also was County Clerk.
Ruddick's election would insure the
placing in Office of the treasuTy-lOoters
aud chronic office-holders of the old boss
ridden times.
