Made a Difference With Him.

A gentleman in business on street, see
ing the published statement that County
Clerk Hamilton would not receive the
registrations made by the Assessors, which
omitted the street and number of resi-.
dence, called at the Assessors office the
following morning. He asked for the
deputy who took his registration, stating
that he saw that both the County Clerk and
the Board of Supervisors required the
street and number of residence to be given,
and these were not asked nor given in his
case. He was answered that the number
made no difference, was not necessary, and
that his registration was all right He re-
piled that it was not all right, and that be
wanted the registration corrected. He was
again told in very positive way that the
number made no difference whatever.
Well, he replied in very emphatic
manner, ''it makes a-- sight of diff
ference to me, and don't propose to be left
off from the register either" He there
upon went to the County Clerks office and
asked to be registered properly, which
favor was granted, and he went away. at
makes all the difference in the world to
me, whether my name gets upon the Great
Register, and don't propose to be left off
by any funny business if can help it."

Sunny France supplies the
world with the best Sateens it
gets and for several reasons.
The silk-like surface comes
from the use of Sea Island
Cotton, the finest spinning
cotton known, and it is said
that the air and water of
France are specially suited to
the handling of its delicate
hbers.
An unusual amount of pa
tient. painstaking effort is re-
quired in the manufacture of
Sateens, and in France such
labor is plentiful ard cheap.
Probably the chief reason,
however, is that the French
lead all nations in color
printing and designing. Their
resources in that direction
seem inexhaustible. Some one
has spoken of them as "a ma
ton of artists"
More styles in imported
French Sateens came yester-
day. As an example of what
:hese people can do in simple
design work without the help |
Of colors we call special atten-
ion to the study in black and |
white, at IS cents.

The Cathedral

The work on the Catholic cathedral at
Eleventh and K streets is progressing
rapidly, and it is now thought it will be
completed by one year from date, or say
the 1st of May, 1889. The central tower
which is to be surmounted by an immense
cross, is up, and the hight from the ground
to the top of the cross is 247 feet. The top
of the dome of the State Capitol is said to
be 240 feet, but the mechanics working on
the cathedral tower say in their opinion
the ball on the top of the State building is
not more than 210 feet. The ceiling in the
auditorium of the church is 81 feet in
hight. The ceilings in the legislative halls
of the Capitol are As feet in hight
