SHOPPERS KNOW GOOD THING.
A. Eberly's Sons Stoves in Demand
in Nearby States.

When man who resides down in Vir-
ginia comes to Washington to buy
stove ii shows that the shoppers in the
country sections have appreciated the in
vitation to buy in this city and have rail-
road fare refunded. For buying IA stove
is accomplished mighty easily anywhere
at all. Stoves are for sale in every vii
lage in the land. 1t is reasonable to sup
pose though, that the fame of a. Eb2r-
lys Sons stoves has reached the Old
Dominion state, and the offer published
last Sunday To pay fare back just cllnch-
ed the determination of some Virginians
to get one of Eberly's stoves.
The firm in question has been selling
stoves ever since the wagons started
westward for the gold fields in 40. They
sold good ones. too. to the fathers and
grandfatLers and great Srandfathers OF
some OF those folks who will be cooking
the Christmas turkey on an Eberly stove
The firm has been at us eth street ever
since ii opened up for the first days bust
ness. That is i long time in one place
but it has had its effect. Every body i'll
Washington knows that good stoves CONF
from F.beriy'S. and they know right
where to go without looking it up in the
directory.
Out-of-toWn customers fare we'll after
buying a stove. for the firm tries out
every article it sells. and this experiment
ing means that the housewife will not
be chOked with smoke or have her bread
spoiled, just because the stove will noi
work.

GET SOMETHING BETTER.
Buy Something Your Friends Are
Not Accustomed to Buy.


Here is a suggestion offered by one of
the .cleverest advertising men in Wash
ington, and a man who knows as much
about Christmas gifts as Santa Claus
himself.
He says that the country people know
how to buy Christmas presents The Sc
cret of getting good presents-that is, good
from the viewpoint of the persons who re-
ceive them on Christmas morning-is to
get things little bit different from the
things they are used to.
For instance, your daughter may be
very fond of certain kind of handker-
chiefs. 1t would be very nice to get her
a box of the sort she knows is just right
out how about getting her some a little
better or little newer in style or with
some distinctive feature about them?
II she has been used to Irish linen hand
kerchiefs and you should buy her dozen
or the same kind she would be no better
or than If she We're to go down and get
some herself. But get her a box OF
French handkerchiefs hat are so daintily
woven that they can tie pulled through a
ring. and she will begin to think tina,
Christmas is something splendid, after all
In buying presents for employees and
servants this is a good rule to remember
Some OF them have mighty good taste
even II their pocketbooks are slim. 1t is
not making Christmas for them to get
them something that they could buy
themselves. Get something better

The largest picture ever painted is said
to be panorama of the MISSISSIPPI,

The largest of the cid masters cam

Christ Child to Saint Anthony of Padua. -
The picture is ten feet wide and eighteen

1t is related that friend called on
Salvador Rosa in Florence one day and
found him playing on an old harpsichord.
The caller asked the artist why he kept
such worthless instrument.
why. it is not worth scudo." the
friend said.
II will wager replied Rosa, that II
shall be worth thousand before you
see it again.
a bet was made Rosa Immediately
painted a landscape on the lid that not
only sold for. 900 scudi. but was ac-
counted work of great merit.
The celebrated st. Johns Wood clique
of artists in London executed series
of large frescoes in oil on the walls OF
the studio of ]. T.. HodgSon, one of the
members. The paintings We're begun IN
the winter OF 1s64-65 Shakespearean
subjects were chosen and the figures
were little under life size.
When HodgsOn moved from his studio
an unappreciative tenant covered the
walls of the room with brown wall
paper. completely hiding the paintings.
The frescoeS were rediScovered by acct
dent forty years afterward and restored.

lANSBURGHS IS THE MECCA
FURNITURE ESTABLISHMENT IN
9TH STREET POPULAR.
Attracts Many Shoppers From Out
of Town-Real Bargains and Re-
fund of Railroad Fare.

Amy woman who comes fifty miles and
buys S166 worth of furniture is said to
deserve to have her railroad fare refund
ed. There is one happy woman who Wis
ited Julius Lansburghs establishment,
BIZ 9th street last week and not only
obtained the very latest in the way of
furniture she wanted but saved money
on the purchases and pocketed railroad
fare. Another woman bought almost as
much and is just happy. Several
others have purchased goods there and
are going to send their friends here on
the strength of their treatment.
julius Lansburgh is conceded to have
great furniture store and is known by
every one hereabouts. From the ground
floor 10 the roof. which is several stories
above the sidewalk, the building is ful
of the best that can be had in Furniture,
hangings. carpets. furnishings, lamps and
house ornaments. The first floor is par
ticularly attractive. Ii looks more like
the hospitable living room of big club
than furniture store, and is an object
lesson in refined taste in decoration and
arrangement. The furniture is not set
down in meaningless row, like the
stock IN factory. but every piece, IN us
relation to its neishbOr, is placed ex-
actly right.

The chairs are SO inviting that a person

There are several things for the lady's

presents. One of them is a princess

Repairing the American Pantheon


Nothing in Washington has attracted
more attention from the passarby than
the dismantling of the american Pan
theon'' by the substitution of the new
pillars for the old ones. The Treasury
building furnishes the only pure example
of Greek architecture in the country.
The sandstone pillars were peculiarly Sus-
ceptible to smoke. and the tedious process
of cleaning them with sand-blast took so
much time that before the last pillar was
cIeansed the first worked upon had
become snudged again. 1t was finally
decided to replace them with those of
granite, each one of which wohld cost
1000 and be subjected to a rigid ex-
animation. One pillar was discovered to
have a slight crack in one of the flutes,
and was rejected after it had been de-
livered on the ground by the railway.
The work will be continued until all the
sandstone pillars of the Treasury Depart
ment have been suppanted by the classic
Greek granite columns which are more
in accord with the dignity of the build
ing.

code OF personal vengeance under which
stain on gang honor" can be wiped out

The Bowery ruffians in effect are only
doing what the members of Highland

the best traditions of old-time knight
hood. Their code was once that of Eng

the code of the Kentucky mountaineers
The difference Is that it requires more
imagination than the present day world
possesses to gild their sordid assaults
with romance. No doubt the element Of

be spared. But the means by which the
end is effected are not exactly creditable

the board of trustees of the Handley fund
against the Winchester Memorial Hospi-
tai which means that the hospital will
receive a donation of $1,000, with interest
for six years past, which was assigned to
that institution by former City Solicitor
Robert NJ Ward. The late Judge John
Handley of Scranton, Pa, left the bulk or
his estate to Winchester for educational
PURPOSES and some Of his alleged heirs
attempted to break the will. Solicitor
Ward was awarded 5000 by the common
council for defending the city's interests,
and he donated the fee to the hospital.
The board of trustees, however. refused
to pay il and the case went to the Su-
preme court, which has decided in favor
of the hospital. The money will be avail
able at once.

era in the relations between State
and Federal Courts" Attorney
General Young says, SIT would
seem that the decision of the ma
jority overturns all former decis-
ions as to the immunity of States
from suit, and in effect repeats the
Eleventh Amendment. If a State
in exercising its governmental
powers can be controlled by Fed
eral injunctions sued out by rail-
road companies, the State govern
ments might as well be abandoned
and the inferior Federal courts be
placed in charge of all State affairs.
AS stated by Mr.. Justice Harlan in
his dissenting opinion, if an infor-
nation can be upheld in this case,
it can also be used to prevent grand
juries from finding indictments
against persons who violate any
