In reply to charges made by correspondents
of Washington papers to the effect that the
new pension building is unhealthful and that
1t was disgracefil to compel clerks to go to
work in its unfinished condition, Gen. Meigs,
who superintended the erection of the build
ing, says: zone division of the pension office
moved into the new building soon after the in
auguration ball-that is, on the 18th Of May,
1886. The others followed successively as

The Republican" Of oct..,3 wrote
of the new store:

The phenomenal success Of the enter
prising proprietor Of this popular estab-
lishment once more is demonstrated. The
two large stores situated at Nos. 11l7 aud
1110 Pennsylvania avenue having been
found inadequate to the requirements OF
his rapidly increasing business, Mr.. LIsner
has leased the adjoining store, which has
been elaborately fitted for the display Of
silks and cloaks. Expense has been q
secondary consideration, as 1t is evident by
the generous supply of mirrors and rich
upholstery of the cloak parlor and silk
room. Mr.. Lsner has engaged Mr.. c. o.
Upton, late with Messrs. b. Altman IL Co.,
Of New York, to take charge of the silk de-
partment. A thorough familiarity with
the makes Of silks and the prices quoted by
the New York houses enables the adoption
Of a policy that must bring phenomenal
growth to the young department. Mr..
Lisner is quoted as saying that prices are to
be guaranteed lower than the New York
houses.
