BUT ONE WEEK AWAY.
Christmas Shopper Must Hustle II
They Would Finish in Time.

With Christmas eve but one week away
today the merchants of Washington ad-
nonish the holiday buyers to be up and
doing in the matter of making their pur-
chases Several of the leading business
men gave it as their opinion today that
the expenditures of money for gifts this
year will be up to the average. A notice
able feature of the 1907 shopping consists
of the many costly gifts that are being
purchased Standard books and costly
jewelry are among the purchases.
Ire stocks of toys this year show many
novelties. some of them of scientific
character and of wide range. from the
automatic to those propelled by electricity
and steam. The shop windows are in
many instances miniature wonderlands
and are nearly always surrounded by
crowds of men, women and children.
The post Office authorities. as announced
In The Sunday Star. have notified those
who contemplate sending gifts by mail
that they should observe some of the COM
mon sense rules the department has laid
down.

To Be Reimbursed.

Arrangements have been made with the
accounting officers of the Treasury De-
partment by which Rear Admiral Evans.
commander-in-chief of the Atlantic feet
and the officers who are associated with
him. may be reimbursed for their expenses
on accent Of travel in .discharging o.
fetal courteses which may devolve upon
them at the various ports which they WI.
visit. This decision is received with con
siderable satisfaction by those officers
who have been apprehensive that tley
would be put to considerable expense on
account OF the cruise of the vessels, espe-
cia!ly as the trip may be extended SO as
to return to the Atlantic coast by way
of Suez That would mean a call at the
various European ports. with the attend
ant exchange of courtesies. The decision
Of the Treasury Department has to do
only with certain travelling expenses In
the way of providing the means of trans
portat!on, and does no. take into account
any reimbursement for the outlay IN the
way of dining or wining on shipboard In
return for similar courtesies extended to
our naval officers on shore.

a resolution was adopted declaring

for the closing Of Twenty-eighth

The city engineer was instructed to

piled for on behalf of the Ogden Gas

is now asking merely for the same
franchise as granted him before, in
the name of his company.

understand the increase.
