Where to Buy Presents.

These are the days when mankind
should above all other occasions en-
deavor to bring sunlight and glad
ness to the lives of their fellowman.
Since the day when the morning
stars sang for gladness and the angels
announced that saviour of the world
had been born, proclaimiDg "Peace
on ealth and good will toward men"
Christmas has been looked forward
t, with anticipation of pleasure.
FROM time immemorial it has been
the custom, the origin Of which is
lost in the dim vista of antiquity, to
remember friends, relatives, acquain-
tances and even the poor with gifts
of love, esteem, respect and with the
necessaries Of life. In view Of tie
fact that we are upon the eve Of a
recurrence of the happy Christmas
holidays, it is appropriate that the
Dispatch should inform those Of its
readers in hunt of presents with
which to make some some soul happy,
when they can obtain tie very best
at the least money. So We start with
the we'll known firm Of
J. L. MIMNAUGH & CO.,
of Columbia. Beneath the roof Of
this mammoth establishment will be
found well selected stock of goods
in dress goods, table linen, cloaks,
gents furnishings, clothing, shoes,
hats, and in fact holiday presents in
endless variety. This firm always
oD the lockout for bargains, the beue-
fit of which they give to their Gus
toners, have unusually eZerted them
selves this season tc lay in a stock
suitable for this season and at prices
never before heard of in that city.
Don't make the mistake Of purchas-
ing your dry goods, before you call
;nl examine their stock and enquire
their prices.

NOT RAPID FIRING.
Lot of High-Priced Cartridges Found.
to BE Useless.

New York, Aug. 19.-The Herald's spe-
cial cable from Buenos Ayres says: The
government has issued a decree in accept
ing the resignation of the minister Of the
United Statse, senor ZebaIlos, officially
recognizing his services in behalf of his
country.
a sensation has been precipitated here
by report made TO the secretary OF war
by Capt Barilari. The report says that
the greater portion Of the rapd-firing
gun cartridges with which the government
arsenal here is illed is useless. as the cart
ridges are charged with only half the pow
der required, and the fuses are so placed
as TO be absolutely elements of danger
The President has signed an order nam
ing Capt. Barilari as a commissioner 10
further investigate the matter in the war
department and also TO examine the sup
ply of cartridges issued TO the navy, which,
is charged, is equally as bad in condition.
All ships of war, it is said, now have
these useless cartridges and in govern
ment circles il is insisted that punishment
should follow swiftly for the guilty Of
ficials as soon as they are exposed Capt
Barilari is loudly praised for his startling
report.

NOT A CASE FOR THE POLICE.

Inspector Hollinberger VIII Not In
terfere in Coach-Hardesty Matter.
Inspector Hollinberger, chief of detect
ives, stated last evening that he had been
appealed to in the case of private detect
i've Coach, who is alleged to have disap-
peared with $500 OF the funds of the I'm
ternational Detective Service" as ex-
clusively described in The Morning Times
yesterday.
The inspector was called upon by 7. j.
Hardesty, the other member Of the firm,
who wanted the headquarters detectives
TO apprehend Coach. He was Informed that
Coach's alleged offense was not criminal
matter and appeared TO be only a case of
breach Of trust. As such it was not case
for the police, Hardesty's only remedy be-
ing in the civil courts.
Hardesty and the so-called Coach were
first brought TO the attention of Inspector
Hollinberger by ex-Commissioner L. G..
HiDe, manager OF the new telephone COM
paDy. The manager was ying canvassers
fifty cents for each new telephone sub
scriber they turned in. One day a COM
munication on letter head Of the Inter
national Detective Service" was received
by Mr.. HiDe, informing him that the can
vassers were turning in the names of persons
who would not become patrons OF the new
company, their scheme being to secure the
fifty cents for each name furnished. The
detective service controlled by Hardesty
and Coach wanted to be employed topreyent
this fraud.
Their letter was handed to Inspector
! HolliDherger who sent for Hardesty and
Coach. He informed them that the laws
OF the District required private detective
agencies TO furnish bonds in the sum of
$40, 600. The men agreed to secure a
bondsman in few days. Instead of doing
so, their concern collapsed and they de-
parted for fields and pastures new, Coach
getting the biggest end Of the game by
taking with him $500 OF the firms funds
