The merry Christmastide is suggestive Of
music and good cheer, and what more fit
ting time for the purchase of instruments
appealing to the finer sense of pleasure
than during the joyful holidays. The sug-
gestion of music and Christmas carries
with it the suggestion of a music house
where the best of everything from a Stein
way grand piano down to a banjo bridge
may be obtained for a minimum of cost
the value of the goods being taken into
consideration. This store, it is hardly nee
essary to state, Is none other than E. F.
DroOp & Sons. Their piano parlors and
music ware rooms at No. 925 Pennsylvania
avenue are filled to overlooking with the
finest musical stock obtainable. Here one
may find Steinway pianos of all models and
finish. A b. Chase. In tonal beauty, power
acuon-in fact, in everything these pianos
are as near perfection as can be hoped for
And then there are the Gabler pianos the
wonderful Crown piano and many others
equally as good. The Regina music box is
one or the most remarkable, as well as
popular, instruments of the day, while the
Angelus orchestral, which plays any piano.
Is one of the wonders of today. Droops

Proved Their Good Character.

Two colored women, both married and
the mother Of children, were in the Police
Court this morning, charged with vagrancy.
Annie Talbert and Mary johnson they
called themselves, but the latter admitted
that she had given a fictitious name, her
right name being Garrison. Attorney Car
rington, who appeared as their counsel,
declared them to be respectable married
women.
Two policemen from the sixth precinct
told the court they saw the defendants on
Pennsylvania avenue last night. One of
them said he saw them speak to a white
man and later to a colored man. The other
officer had seen them speak to a colored
man.
The defendants explained that the col
ored man was a friend who had attended a
church fair where they had been during
the evening. They said the white man
where he could get q servant.
w. Calvin Chase, who was sworn as a
witness, said he had known Mrs. Garrison
ever since she was child, and he knew
her to be a good woman.
THE trouble is,' said Mr.. Chase, that
our girls can't go on the streets at night
without being insulted and then getting
arrested
Mrs Tabert, he said. he knew by repu-
tation to be good woman.
Mr.. Darlington said he could call q score
or more of witnesses to show the good char
acter of his clients, but this the Judge said
was not necessary. The defendants were
discharged.

Christmas Money Well Spent at Jack.

A firm that doubles its floor space in two
years must be doing business that war
rants it in denying that times are any but
the best. This is true of jackson Brothers
furniture houses on 7th street northwest
Two years ago they fupied only two
buildings, but now they have extended
their operations to take in Nos. 915, 917
9l9 and 92l. In these is to be found the
pick of the market in Christmas offerings
of furnishings and house furniture. The
prices are on a scale that is surprising, but
as the firm only sells for cash 1t Is pre-
pared to give the customer every benefit
to be derived from such satisfactory trans
actions. A little ready money goes long
ways when the possessor buys in a COM
pletely equipped place like the Jackson
Brothers. Special offerings for Christmas
are elegant book cases, ladies' writing
desks, fine parlor tables gilt chairs, odd
pieces, lamps, music cabinets, parlor cabi-
nets, fancy mirrors. cabarets, piano stools
Roman chairs cheval glasses, china closets
extension tables, hall racks and brass en-
ameled bed room suites.
