GENTLEMEN: It may consume a few minutes of your time should you read this letter, but it mmy save hours of time spent unprofltably. If gentlemen only knew how often they give presents that are perfectly useless they would be more apt to take advice from merchants whose business it is to cater to the requirements of ladies and children.

You are doubtless thinking of what to (rive for Christmas presents, and are naturally anxious to get something that will be appreciated, ana not only for the sake of the giver, but also appreciated for its merits. We give a list of articles below we know ladies will appreciate. We quote prices considerably below our competitors. WE DO NO CREDIT BUSINESS. THEY DO.

Respectfully. THE PALAIS ROYAL. PURS. The following Muffs are satin-lined and the same as sold by first class furriers. You will notice the difference in their prices and ours: Russian Hair Muffs, the best 89c? inferior ones at 48c.

Beaver Muffs, $6.68: Lynx, $4: Silver Hare, Raccoon, $2.68. These furs are fashionable, and muffs being in great demand they necessarily make an acceptable present. SILKS.

DA5GEROIS rOI VTEBFEITS. Source of Fine Imitation SilTer Dollars Discovered If ear Chicago. Chicago, Dec. several months Chicago, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Milwaukee and the smaller cities of the northwest have been flooded with spurious silver dollars ao closely resembling the genuine article that even perts were deceived.

United states secret service detectives have worked arduously to discover where the bogus dollars were made, but were unsuccessful until a few weeks ago, when Secret Service Detective McKlnley, who was stationed in Chicago expressly for purpose of watching the spread of the counterfeiters, accidentally learned that a middle-aged negro drove regularly to the United States Express offlce once a week and shipped a heavy box, roughly but strongly built, to a doctor In Milwaukee. The negro was shadowed to a small farm house on the land of a German named Heinz, sixteen miles southeast of Pullman. The building is a one-story cabin, which the officers learned was leased for a year with some land by three white men last August, and the negro was placed in charge. The detectives TRACED THE MYSTERIOUS BOXE8 shipped by the negro to a small private dwelling In Milwaukee and learned who Its occupant was, and that the latter frequently visited the house near Pullman. It was also ascertained that the doctor, a few days after receiving a consignment from Chicago shipped smaller boxes to St.

Louis, Minneapolis, St. Paul and the Interior cities of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Dakota. Saturday the detectives intercepted one of the Milwaukee doctor's shipments to Minneapolis and found the box contained 200 flrst-class counterfeit dollars of the same brand. The doctor was arrrested at Milwaukee, but the capture was not made public. When McKlnley and the other officers visited the place near Pullman Saturday night, they found only the negro, who said the white men had left an hour before, upon searching the house nothing but fifty sheets of platinum and a small box filled with steel filings were found, but in an old drain in the rear was a box containing a number of first-class dies and a small machine used for perfecting the mlllng around the edges of the coin.

A leather bag containing a quantity of composition white metal, a package of sliver leaf and a small smelting furnace were also found in the drain. In addition four dies of $2.50 pieces rudely carved In lignum vltae were discovered. The confiscated material was brought to the city and turned over to the United States marshal, and efforts were made to guard against any publicity being given to the affair. The counterfeiters are THE MOST DECEPTIVE THAT HAVE EVER BEEN XNOWW, and deceive numismatists, notwithstanding there Is a singular defect upon them without which they could not be distinguished from genuine dollars. It consists of a peculiar curve to the letter in the motto "In God we Trust," the consonant sloping backwards almost like an Italic letter.

The counterfeits correspond in weight exactly with the United States dollar and have a genuine ring when tested. The metal of which they are made Is an entirely new and dangerous composition, whose constituent parts metallurgists cannot determine without a careful analysis.

To-day the Commissioners revoked the permit. Mr. strasburger proposed to spend in temporarily arranging tbe building for theater purposes, and proposed to have It ready for occupancy the 3d of January.

He Intended to put on a stage and proscenium arch at present, and place seats for the audience only on the main floor. The permit was Issued with the condition that the plans of the interior and the arrangement of the exits should be approved by the Inspector. After the close of the present theatrical season Mr. Strasburger proposed to raise the walls of the building ana construct a gallery. Some of the of tbe vicinity have vl gorously objected to having a theater there.

The members of the street Baptist church, on the opposite side of the street, nave also Objected. Among those who called upon the commissioners to-dav in relation to the matter was the pastor of the street church. Commissioner Webh. however, stated to a sin reporter, that the reason that the permit wis jevoiced was that the commissioners believed taat it was wrong to allow buildings constructed for other purposes to be converted into theaters. A theater, he said, should be in a building designed especially for such purposes, in which every precaution could be provided to insure the safety of an audience.

It was a great blessing, he said, that tbe Lincoln hall lire occurred as it did, when there was no audience In the theater there. The building was not designed for a theater, and the means of exit afforded were bad. The arrangement at Albaugha Opera house at present, he said, was bad, and the entrance there should be changed. col. Ludlow said to a star reporter in relation to the action of the commissioners in revoking the permit that the commissioners considered that the existing theater structures were inadequate in their provisions for the safety of their audiences, and they did not desire to multiply such places.

The permit, he said, was issued without the knowledge of tbe commissioners, but the matter was brought to their attention by a protest flled by citizens. Mr. strasburger, it is stated, had already entered upon the work, and made contracts. It was thought this afternoon that the matter would result In some action against the District by Mr. Strasburger for damages.

OUR DRILL IN THE WEST. Bine Grass Entries Looming Up. RAILROADS, HOTELS AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC ALL CHIP MOVEABLE HEADQUARTERS AT CINCINNATI AND LOUISVILLE. Special of Tss Evrkihq Star. LociaviuJt, Dec.

19,1886. Your Washington drill is creating general interest here, both in military and in civil circles. Newspaper reports began this, and the announced determination of Kentuoky troops to take part heightens it. For the past day or two Secretary De Leon, of the drill management, has been here to explain the objects of the affair to Louisville soldiers. He informs your correspondent that his Interviews with CoL John B.

castleman, the accomplished commander of the first regiment, K. 8. have been very satisfactory, and that he expeots representation not only from the city by a full regiment but from the country by several good companies. To-day Mr. De Leon received a telegram from General Passenger Agent C.Tt.

Lord, of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, dated Chicago, in which he stated that the central traffic association had decided to authorize a rate for soldiers of of a cent per mile. Mr. De Leon further stated that he had yesterday a full conference with General Passenger Agent C. P. Atmore, of the Louisville and Nashville road, who had been at the Chicago meeting.

The latter expressed great interest In the drill, ami will do as much as any other road to work in its territory. Large numbers of very handsome lithographs were well under way when the secretary was In Cincinnati two days since, and he has arranged here with the Cburier-Jourtial company for handsome colored lithographs. In Cincinnati CoL Moore and Major Pettlbone, of the 1st Ohio, expressed themselves to Mr. De Leon as very anxious to carry their ten companies to represent that city by a full regiment. Transportation and cost of moving such a body was stated as the only difficulty; ana he thinks that the decision of the c.

T. association noted above will remove that. Mr. De Leon also says that the ad Ohio, at Kenton, and the three crack separate companies of Cleveland, Toledo and Columbus will also probably enter. General Passenger Agent Collbran, of the Queen and crescent, Is taking active Interest in the drill and in Its advertising.

With headquarters at Cincinnati he can be of great use when troops mass there for Washington. The "drill envelope" has been adopted by a number of prominent hotels, among them the Grand hotel at Cincinnati, and Gait House and the Louisville here. If our "Legion" goes to Washington next May you can look for about half the male population and a large proportion of our ladles to follow them. The boys are great favorites socially as well as excellent soldiers, and there Is no superior to their coloneL John B. Castleman.

Majors Coen and Kelly command the two battalions of this regiment well, and the boys are sure to make a sensation at the capital of the Union, and, we think, to capture a prize. This morning's Courier-Journal has a long and detailed Interview with the managing secretary, which I inclose, as being of interest on technical points. Blue Grass. The Umbrella. Homicide.

THOMAS CARTER ON TRIAL FOR MURDER IN THI CRIMINAL COURT. The trial of Thomas Carter, the old colored man, indicted for the murder of James Holmes, by stabbing him on the 26th of July last in Goat alley, during a quarrel over an umbrella, was continued yesterday after The Star's report closed. Charlotte Bayly testified that she lived opposite Carter's house, and saw Holmes rushing out of he house crying out: "I am cut to death." Holmes kept on to tne drug store and then Carter came out. Mrs. Boyd said, "See what vou have done.

You have killed He replied: "I cont care if 1 have." He had blood on his hands and did not 6xclt6cL Mallnda Boyd corroborated the preceding witness and said in addition that carter replied "I don care if 1 did. He kicked me first," and that It was In the house, not outside. Before Holmes came out she heard a child scream. There was considerable blood In the room all about In one place They had had trouble some six months before In Carter house when witness parted them. Kosa Plnkney, the step-daughter of Carter, testified that Holmes lived in the house (up-stairs that Holmes asked her mother to loan him an umbrella, and she said It did not belong to her.

He went away and came back and asked her again, when Carter said, "Dont give tbe nigger any satisfaction." Witness then went upstairs. They then got to quarrelling and fighting, but she dlu not hear what they said; heard something fall If knocked down. Witness theucame down the steps and heard the noise still in the kitchen; saw Holmes when he went out, and he was bloody. PROCEEDINGS TO-DAY. This morning Frederick Tyler testified tq seeing the men clinched and Holmes had Carter down and the blood was running from Holmes on Carter, who had a knife in his hand.

Witness interfered to stop the fight, and Carter said Holmes hit him first, and Holmes then hit him again with his fist, and Holmes then picked up a pitcher and struck carter, who was trying to get at him with the knife. Holmes backed to the door and Carter struck at him with a chair as he left the house. Witness Identified the pocket knife with blade about three Inches long. Edmund Brockenborough testified that he found the knife on the mantel with blood on the handle and blade; saw Carter at the station house the night; noticed that his hand was cut and saw no injuries on his head. Next morning witness had a talk with carter while he was in a celL Sergeant Shilling was present and asked him about the knife.

He said: "I didn't cut him with that knife, but with a knife which was on the table." Sergeant Anthony Shilling testified that on going to the place he found cart er there, who said that Holmes assaulted him, and as he fell he grabbed the knife off the table and cut him. After arresting Carter saw Holmes at the drug store. He claimed to have been struck by Holmes on the head. Officer James A Coleman testified that Carter claimed that the cutting was in self-defense. This closed the case for the government.

Mr Walker, for the defendant, submitted that the testimony did not show a case of murder, and suggested that tbe case be dropped. Tne district attorney declined to do so. THE DEFENDANT'S STORY. The defendant testified that it was ralnihg very hani, and his wife bad an umbrella when she came home. Holmes asked his wife to loan hlni the umbrella and she refused, saying it wasCharleyCarte He went off and camenack and commenced talking about the umbrella, and he said to his wife- "Don't give the nigger any satisfaction, "and he then rushed for hlmTbut Plnkney parted them.

Holmes then got a chair and struck nlm. and got hold of him and threw him tothe floor and chocfed lnandsaid he had cut Holmes to death, and he replied that Holmes had strode him first. The defense proposed to submit the case without however. Insisted on verdict for manslaughter, and the district attorney argued in favor of such a verdict. or not follomng werethe readings at the signal dl 27; 7 a.

A special to the New York Worl.l from Charles, ton, 8. December 'JOth, say The bUl now fore the legislature to prevent the organization of colored laborers In the agricultural sections into Knights of Labor Is causing a great commotion among the leaders of the eolon-d triple of the state. Kev. J. Woffortl White, one of the most intelligent colored preachers of the state has Lsaued an atldress.

In which he says that this bill has tor Its aim the grinding down and driving to the wall ot the negru laborers. In closing his address Mr White says: "From the standpoint or eqult v. considering the circumstances surrounding all laitorers, the negro is the most excusable In tonnlng organizations of a legal kind to better his condition. Do the white people Imagine that by Ojey cau keep away rrom the agents or and in his way by force keep them tn this state or prevent them being organized for mutual protection? it aa they reckon without their host. The great drawback to he negroes lies in lie raci ot their being too easily satisfied.

The Miylocke of this state to-day arc the fanners who want the crops made and gathered without paving a reasonable price tor labor. They can reduce ages to the lowest point, and If they are asked Tor Justice It Is refused, and when the negroes organize for mutual protection this Is to pronounced Illegal, and who rtares to resist Is to be Incarcerated in prison, south Carolina, vour Slorlous flag trails in he dust. If the white peopio ealre a contented population of laborers them give the negroes ralr treat menu They will have no desire to go No allurement can charm them away. The truth Is the treatment the negro laborers are receiving has brought them Into abject poverty. No change or condition or country can bring them to a worse condition, hence they arc easily persuaded away by the seductive promise of Immigration agents, siiouid the bill now pending become a law there will be wholesale Immlifratlon trom the state.

There is a class or men hat get nearer the hearer the hearts and sympathies of the than any Hitherto the influence of this class has been to keep them here and hope for better things and times. When the negro preachers uT the goapel Bay to their flock, 'Arise, and let us there will be walling in weening for their children and rcruslng to be comforted."
