Public Inspection Of ConnOisseurs Desired

In extending this invitation, | realize
that the present age, is one of particular
DEMAND. And those demands, having
established themselves by the PUBLIC it is
necessary for the progressive dealer to
make the most strenuous effort to meet the
DEMANDS of the public, no matter how
particular they may be, or who makes
them.
Seven years ago, noted the demand
for first-clasSI- -IQUoR STORE in theWest
End. The Yelfare of the public required
a place where PURE LIQUORS could be
purchased. established my business
and made it practice to purchase none
but Pure Goods direct from Bond and
sold same at prices that de6ed any and
all competition. The public has appre-
Grated my efforts and treatment, and my
business has increased to such an extent
that have been forced to enlarge and
remodel my store. and to-day ! have
the most complete and finished Stocked
LIQUOR House south of New York. A
store where none but the purest goods
are sold, and where can satisfy beyond
any controversy OF doubt in both price
and quality.
The DEMAND Of the Connoisseur. or the
most particular patron. Soliciting your
future patronage, and thanking you for
the past, remain yours respectfully,

emy Brig.

the u. S. torpedo boat destroyer Nc
Donough, at the Naval Academy, has
been placed under arrest ON very
serious charge of robbing the United
States mail, and is in double iron in
the brig.
Rose was the mail carrier for the
ship and for some time has been sus-
pected of tampering with the mail
and extracting money from letters.
His capture was through a clever
piece Of detective work A decoy
letter was sent with $500 bill en-
closed, the bill having been previously
marked. For reasons it was suspected
that Rose had not mailed the letter
and he was searched and the $40
marked bill found on him. He was

NAVY ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
Annual Meeting Will Occur On
January 4th For Elec-
ton of Officers.

The annual meeting of the Navy
Athletic Association for the election
of officers for the ensuing year will be
held at the Naval Academy on Mon
day, January 4. The association will
elect an executive committee and they
in turn will choose the officers of the
association.
Another matter of Importance which
will probably be brought up for dis
cussion will be the differences existing
between the Athletic Association au-
thorities of the Military and Naval
Academies in regard to eligibility
rules governing future athletic con-
tests. The annual football game this
year was played ON the agreement
which was signed by the superintend-
ents of the two academies, that after
the first of the year everything would
be submitted to arbitration, and fu-
ture athletic games to be held subject
to the decision of the arbitration COM
mittee.

at the Naval Academy 1t has not
been definitely decided as to who will
represent the Naval Academy, but it
is likely that Midshipmen r. r.

These Are Not Fakes

There are moving picture exhibi-
tions galore, but If you have not seen
the Lyamn H. Howe it will be i'm
possible to know of the vast strides
this unique entertainment has made
since last season. The pictures have
been brought nearer to realism than
ever before and it is Mr.. Howe's chief
aim to produce them so naturally as
to make them appear to be real, living
scenes.
Manager Hollebaugh desires it un-
derstood that the forthcoming exhibi
tion by Lyman H. Howe at the Colo
nial on Decebmer 30 will be one of
genuine, living pictures-no stereopti-
con fake views, but the real thing up
to date In the big cities this attrac
ton has drawn greater crowds than
legitimate productions scuh as win
some Winnie and the Governor S
Son.

ses are not enemies Of the admins
tratOn or of the department.
In the greatest and bloodiest of all
wars, covering four years, and IN
which were engaged 5000 900 of brave
men, | never heard of a single case
Of human torture, and those who
falsely assert that it was practiced in
suit alike those who wore the blue and
the gray.
For 100 years the army has been
Waging war against savage Indians
and there is no namable atrOCity that
at some time some Indians did not
cOmmit-but retaliation in kind and
violence towards captive and sUrrend-
cred Indians have always been pro
hibited.
1t is idle to assume that campaign
ing in the Philippines has conditions
that warrant resort to medieval cruel
ty and a departure fro mthe honor
able method Of conducting warfare,
and that such departures as have eX-
listed should be overlooked and con-
dOned.
la is most gratifying that the serious
Offenses have not been committed by
the soldiers unless they were under
the direct orders of certain officers
who were responsible. Soldiers have
withheld fire when ordered to shoot
prisoners, protested against acts of
cruelty. and written to relatives at
hOmes urging them to take action to
put a stop to those crimes. 1t will
ever be one of the glOries of the army
that such deeds, committed by what
ever authority, are abhOrrent to the
American soldier. The officers who
are responsible using chiefly cruel
Maccabebes. do not by any means
constitute the American army. and
there must be a very unmistakable
| line drawn between the great body of
honorable and faithful officers and
brave soldiers whose faithful officers
and brave soldiers whose records have
been cOmmendable and those, of what
ever station, whose acts have received
and should receive the earnest con
domination of all honorable men. Very
truly yours,
