Headquarters for Xmas Wines.

In we olden time almost every family had
a well-stocked wine cellar and woe unto
the host who did not offer his guests liquid
refreshments at the holiday season. The
wines and liquors Of today are more nu-
merous and a vast improvement over those
of the time Of our forefathers, and 1t only
requires a glance at the extensive catalogue
of the To-Kalon Wine Company, 614 14th
street. to appreciate this fact. Its white
and red California wines have taken many
prizes. At this season of the year the
firm makes a great specially Of eggnog
and has an original recipe of its own
which assures the best results. Any one
can get this recipe for the asking, and the
special ingredients called for at most rea-
sonable prices. The company has been es-
tablished in this city many years and has
a wide circle of patrons.

Velvet jackets, automobiles, raglans. furs

This stock is made up Of extremely hand

The municipal counciltat today's session

MIR. GRIGGS CLOSES.
Warmly Congratulated the Adj
iOurnmcnt of the Court.

Warmly Congratulated on the Adj
jOurnment of the Court.
During the course Of his argument in the
United States Supreme Court yesterday on
the status of our insular possessions Mr..
Griggs exclaimed in impassioned tones:
why should this government be consid-
cred to have less freedom of action in this
matter than other nations? What clause
of the Constitution so compels?
'Why are we so tied and bound that we
are never to secure the fruits of victory,
never to acquire an island Of the sea, belt
across the isthmus, station for a naval
base, unless a the cost of admitting those
inhablting the soil to full rights as citizens
of the United States. whether they be can
nibals savages, granting them the glor-
ious potentiality of being a part of the
people of the United States? Did our faith
ers hamper US like that?
IF so this Constitution is as misshapen
Richard, the hunchback, sent into this
world before his time, scarce half made up
and that so lamely and questionable that
nations laugh at us as we halt by"
The Attorney General made this COMPARE
son between the Constitution as it was
sought to be construed and the misshapen
hurchback in tones which rang through the
chamber and out into the corridors. Soon
after the court took its usual midday re-
cess.
Mr. Griggs closed his five hours speech
with q Drlllldnl ana eloquent perOrat1On.
II am here in a feeble and humble way"
said he, "to support the executive and leg
islative branches of the government in
dealing with these momentous questions.
Throughout l have felt serene confidence
that nothing l have advised, nothing the
government has done has been without it's
presidents and forerunners from the most
illustrious of forefathers, from Jeffer-
son, Jackson, Madison, Gallatin and from
the great chief justices Of the past; that
nothing has been done but tended to the
great exaltation and extension of our coun-
try and the Improvement of the people
coming under control"
Instead of seeking strict and narrow con-
structions he said the powers of the ex-
ecutive and legislative branches had been
construed as to give them a wise and
safe discretion, that the day would be
fastened when might give to these new
peoples self-government and to some of
them perhaps, place in the galaxy of
states.
The court adjourned soon as Mr..
Griggs finished, and members Of the bar
gathered about him to congratulate him
upon his able and eloquent presentation Of
the governments case.

LETTER TO BALL PLAYERS
URGES THEM NOT 10 SIGN con-
TRACTS NOW.
1t Was Sent Out by Committee of the
Players Protective As
ISOLATION.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, December 2O.-The
committee of the Players Protective Asso-
citation have sent ont a circular letter to
all ball players Of their association. The
letter after recounting the facts of the re-
cent conference between representatives of
the players and a committee of National
League owners says:
TT looks pretty sure that the National
League owners are going to cut salaries all
along the line. We give you our judgment
on this so that you may all bear 1t in mind
later, when you have decided whether to
sign in the National or the American. Much
Of a cut, you see, would bring the average
salary paid in the two leagues pretty close
together.
"All things considered, we believe that it
would be unwise for us now to start
war ourselves; that at present players
should not under any consideration jump
from our league to the other even II the
American does become entirely Independent;
that American League players may at any
time now sign contracts in that league
which contain the amended portions to
which Mr. Johnson mas agreed, which pro
vide against selling. farming and drafting
without the players consent: 1T any
member of the association, whatever league
he is in, should sign no contract at any
time which has not been approved by the
attorney. and this does not mean that 1t
may not possibly be deemed best after
time to approve the old form OF contract
for the coming year. But we urgently ask
you, and this letter goes to all members,
to hold off at present. and, anyhow, to
sign nothing before you have it approved
by Mr.. Taylor, under your solemn agree
ment as a member of the association.
Having acted to the best Of our ability
~ all the possibilities in mind, we urge
you to Immediately write Mr.. Taylor. your
personal preference as to action for the
future, both as to yourself and as to our
association, which is grounded on that
which is fair and honorable and which
must be kept up and made success or no
players organization can ever succeed"
The report is signed by Charles L. Zim-
mer, Hugh Jennings and C. C. Griffith.

MEETING WITH APPROVAL
SUGGESTION RESPECTING INAUGU-
RAJ DAY REVIEWING STANDS.
To BE Controlled by the Committee
and Appropriately Constructed
and Decorated.

The plan providing that all inaugural re-
viewing stands, where seats will be sold to
those who desire to witness the military
and civic pageant of the day President
Mckinley will take the oath of the chief
executive of the nation for the second time,
shall be erected under the immediate di-
rection and supervision of the subcommit-
tee on parks and reviewing stands is meet
ing with widespread favor wherever the
matter has been discussed. The plan was
first suggested in The Star, and in general
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1900-12-20

Chairman Committee on Parks and Reviewing Stands
was outlined yesterday in this paper by
Chairman John B. Larner of the subcom-
mittee, and will be presented by him to
the inaugural committee at its next meet
ing
If Mr.. Larners views are indorsed 1t
will mean that the stands along Pennsyl-
vania avenue, at the Capitol and other
points will all have architectural grace
of design comfortable seating grange
ments and decorations that will be in ac
cord with the elaborate displays expected
to be made by merchants along the line of
march. 1t will also mean the entire doing
sale of seats and all details will be in
charge of the committeeman.
The Business View.
From a commercial standpoint, as we'll as
from a decorative, 1t is believed by those
who understand the matter that the con-
struction and control of the stands by the
committee will be an eminent success In
clement weather would not hazard the as
surance of sufficient returns to cover all ex-
penses for the stands would all be covered
and the seats will probably be taken several
days in advance Fair weather would mean
a big profit. The main idea in view, how
ever, is the securing of stands that will be
ornaments to the avenue rather than rough
beard affairs describable as nothing beyond
eyesores.
The subcommittee on parks and review
ing stands. headed by Mr. Larner. was at
the last Inaugural ton designated the sub
committee on parks and reservations. 1t
had entire supervision and control and sale
of all privileges in connection with the line
of procession Such will be its duties this
time. if Mr.. Larner's plan Is not adopted.
In the latter event the committee Will have
a wider field of work than ever before, and
its membership will be ma terially increased.

Secretary to the Manager Of the National
Biscuit Company, Baltimore. Md, says:
l take great pleasure in saying that my
experience with your electrical typewriter
has been most satisfactory, and l do not
hesitate to say thai any one once learning to
write with it would dislike very much TO go
back to the old machine. The longer | have
it the better l like it, and am convinced
that 1t is the coming typewriter. 1t does
SO much better work and has many add
vantages over the old machines, that it is
bound to become very popular as soon 1t
becomes known. Any one could write all
day on the electric machine without getting
the least bit tired nervous. which, to my
mind, is sufficient recommendation to sell
any typewriter.
