WHERE SANTA CLAUS DEALS.
Buys His Holiday Shoes at wm Hahn



Santa Claus buys his stock of shoes
here" Is the significant statement displayed
on Il sign in one of the show windows at
the establishment of William Hahn & Co
at the southwest corner of 7th and X
streets. And, to judge from the character
of the goods displayed, it is reasonable to
believe that The statement is based on fact.
1t is contended that no other shoe estab-
lishment in Washington has beeh so crowd
eG with Christmas shoppers since the LIST
of December.
While the demand largely is for fancy ar
ticles for Christmas gifts. still many per-
sens believe in combining utility with show
in the selection Of presents. No -jtablish-
ment south of New York engaged in the
sale of footwear, it is claimed, offers as
large an assortment of both the useful and
and the fancy as do William Hahn & Cos
There are shoes. slippers. rubbers, rubber
and leather boots and leggins to suit all
tastes. Rubber boots will delight the little
ones, and shoes are most appropriate, espe-
cially as gifts for household employees and
slippers for any member of the family
Hahn's houses are famous for reliable
goods, and by buying in immense quanti-
ties it Is possible to retail them at low
prices. Half hundred salespeople are
employed the year around by the firm, and
this force has been largely augmented to
meet the holiday increase of trade Christ
they will be given prompt and efficient at
tention and almost immediate delivery. In

for Anglers.
Inc executive committee of the Game and
Fish Protective Association of the District
of Columbia will meet at No 1893 F street
northwest next Monday night to arrange
for SEEMING the canal and to provide for
legislation in behalf of better fish and
game laws.
The seining Of the canal two years ago
was eminently successful as some 10000
or $1,000 small-mouth black bass were
caught and released Immediately in the Po-
tomac river, besides immense quantities of
minnows and young fish, among which
were many additional bass, the ensuing i'm
provement in angling being unquestionably
due to the SEEMING.
Mr.. George NJ. Bowers United States fish
commissioner, has announced that he will
cheerfully aid in the enterprise this season,
and will furnish the superintendent and
force Of men to do the work of seninR
To pay their living expenses about $50 to
500 will be required, and this will doubtless
be forthcoming when anglers are appraised
of the fact
General Manager George L. N!colson of
the Chesapeake and Ohio canal expects to
turn the water from that highway next
week, and will afford every facility for the
prosecution of the work of SEEMING the pools
that remain when the water IS drawn off
and in which the bass congregate.

Yelling Residence and Major French's Rare
Properties Destroyed by Fire.
Gallant Rescue of Two WOmen-Many
Costly and Beautiful Articles
Burned to Ashes.

The old yelling residence, at 18th street
and yelling place. Columbia Heights, built
ana for many years occupied by the late
Dr. yelling, president of Columbian Uni
Versity. and now owned by Mrs. Alice Hill,
was completely Quilted by fire, which was
discovered about 3 o'clock this morning,
and the lessee, Maj. L. Fl. French. and two
or his servants, narrowly escaped with
their lives. The major, who is also a re-
tired physician, was awakened about the
hour named by the sound of crashing glass,
and found his room. which occupied the
east front of the residence in the second
story, filled with smoke. The only other
occupants of the house were two white
maid servants, Maj. Frenchs wife, three
children and the other servants having
gone to the Hotel Dewey yesterday, pre-
paratory to the family departing for New
York.
He Immediately made his way to the rear
of the residence. where the servants were
sleeping, and, he rushed through the
halls, he realized that the entire lower part
of the structure was a perfect mass of
flames. Finding the servants room door
locked, he broke it and hastily forced the
women out of the window to the cornice,
whence he helped them to the roof of a
summer house and aided them to descend
to the ground. Major French was
siderably cut on the hands. wrists and legs
by broken glass, and his mustache and
hair were singed by the flames.
Completely Destroyed.
By the time the inmates had gotten safely
out as described, the entire building was
blazing from cupola to cellar, and in a few
minutes it's interior and ctntents were com
pletely destroyed. The heavy brick walls
and portions of the floors and roof were all
that remained of the residence, and no
vestige was left of the luxurious richness
of its decora lions, which had become noted

The Insurance.
Maj. French had commenced removing his
things. preparatory to their transfer to
New York, and had already sent many
smaller articles and pictures away, the lat
ter embracing two Murillos. Rembrandt
and Van Dyke. He had carried until
september last an insurance of SOC, 600 on
the contents of the residence, but reduced
1t then to $4,000, which is carried in vari-
Gus local and outside companies.
The residence was insured for $1,000 in
the Riggs Insurance Company of this city
Numerous visitors examined the ruins
today, and the opinion was general that it
was the most destructive fire in their
memory Of such events, not thing being
spared. The origin of the disaster cannot
be discovered.
Three different fire alarm boxes were
pulled by many different persons the
first one being 246 located at 14th and
Staughton streets, about four squares
away. This box, SO the records of fire
alarm headquarters show, was pulled at
2:o4 am, engine companies II and and

Three minutes later box ST. located at 18th
and Clifton streets, was pulled. and min.
ute later the box at 10Th and Clifton
streets. 81, was pulled. Neither of the two
boxes last named was sounded however, as
box GAG had already been sent out by fire
alarm headquarters. A special alarm was
sounded at 3:O5, however which called en-
CINE companies Z, 1 and II and truck d to
