Col. Levi Parker Wright.

Col Levi Parker Wright, the Register of
Wills for the District of Columbia, was born in
Dunstahl, Middlesex County, Mass. When but
twenty years of age he was employed pas
senger conductor on the railroad running be-
tween Boston and Concord, N. H., and was so
engaged for twelve years. Resgning that posi-
tion to accept charge of the Chill Stage Com
pany, he ran, until his return to Massachusetts
in 1858, line Of Concord coaches from Val
pariso to Santiago, Chill. From then until 1861
he was engaged with the Boston and Maine
Railroad. In June, 1861, he enlisted in the
Fourteenth Massachusetts Infantry, and was
mustered in as major. In the following month
the regiment was ordered to Washington and
placed in the defenses south of the Potomac.
The regiment having been changed from infan-
try to heavy artillery, Maj. Wright was ordered
to proceed to Massachusetts and recruit it up
to seventeen hundred men.
On his return to Washington he was pro-
NOTED to the rank of lieutenant colonel and
ordered to report to Gen. Grant at Nashville,

MAI. R. A. ARNOLD,

Superintendent of Street and Alley Clean
ing.
That Washington can boast of the cleanest
streets of any city in the Union is beyond aues-
ton. This is commendable feature of which
we may we'll feel proud, and is in no small
measure due to the careful and thorough man
ner in which "Major' Arnold superintends the
"brush brigades" 1t is sometimes thought
that, whether or not the not over handsome
sweeping machines are to be seen upon the
streets and avenues, that the city is paying for
their cleaning just the same, but such is not the
case.
Maj. Arnold informed THE HERALD man that
the work for cleaning the streets is all given out
by contract, and that only thirty-ive cents is
paid for every one hundred square yards of
surface actually gone over Last year but
$s5, 900 was appropriated. This year 100000

Ludge Thomas r. Miller.

Judge Thomas r. Miller.
Judge Thomas F. Miller, whose strong, deci-
sive features are recognized in the cut above as
those of the popular present occupant OF the
bench of the Police Court of the District of Co
lumbia, is native of Jefferson County, Va,
now West Virginia. Graduating in the early
seventies in the Law Department OF the Column
bian University, he was Immediately thereafter
admitted to the bar of the Supreme Court OF
the District of Columbia From that time un-
til his appointment, May 16, 1888, to his present
positiop, Judge Miller was actively engaged in
the practice of his profession, his criminal prac-
tice being exceedingly great, and invariably
embracing the most intricate and Important
cases of that class. Judge Miller's record as
counsel in murder cases, respecting not only
the number participated in, but also as to the
remarkable fact that not one of his clients ever
suffered capital punishment, is record not ex-
celled perhaps in this country, certainly not in
the District. But, however f1attering Judge
Miller's record as practicing lawyer may nave
been. his record on the bench gives not alone
him. but the whole District as well, the fullest
cause for the most ample qualification. Fear
less in his impartiality; the possessor OF that
rarest of gifts, insight; endowed with MIND as
broad as it is clear, he has justly won the conf-
dence and respect of every good citizen, and as
truly the wholesome fear OF every BAD one.
Judge Miller is nothing if not practical, and
eyery decision of his, no matter how great or in
significant the case, is enriched by the nperal
application of good hard sense.

EISEMAN BROTHERS,

Manufacturers of and Dealers in Clothing.
[See' Cut..on Page 3l.1
The manufacture and distribution of mems
clothing is one of the most important CONNER
cia1 interests city of Baltimore, whose
products, go far toward clothing the citizens not
only of Washington but of the entire South.
Among the most prominent and extensive man
ufacturers in that city is the firm of Eiseman
Brothers, from whose fourstory, iron-front
building at 213 West German street are turned
out the fine ready-made garments to supply
their trade in this city and in Atlanta Ca, and
from which an extensive wholesale business is
conducted.
The business of Eiseman Brothers was estab-
lished in a small way in this city by Gerson.
the senior member of the firm, in 1862. From
the beginning the enterprising character of the
house was recognized, as well as its careful and
upright method of doing business. Success
was assured by such qualities and quickly fol-
lowed. Very more extensive quarters
were required. Mr.. M. B. Eiseman was ad-
mitted to the firm, which removed to larger
store. The history Of the house from this is one
of phenom email success, and it is to-day recog-
nized as one of the leading clothing houses of
the country. When still more store-room be-
came imperatively necessary the firm removed
to the four-story and basement building corner
Seventh and E streets, of which a cut accom-
panes this article. This building is entirely
devoted to their business, of which fine custom
tailoring forms an important part.
The Atlanta branch, located at II and 10
Whitehall street, in that city, is one of the most
complete clothing establishments in the South
The building occupied has a frontage of 3S
feet and depth of 145, and is richly equipped
with every convenience and with everything
calculated to lend attractiveness. The trade
from this branch is far-reaching and extends
into the remotest points of the South.
The firm of Eseman Brothers, as now con-
stituted, consists of Gerson, NJ B., j. B., Louis,
and b. j. Eiseman. j. b. was admitted to a
partnership in 1874, and Louis and B. j. in 1885,
The latter is In charge of the Atlanta business,
while Louis conducts the business in Washing
ton, and to his diligent attention to business,
his enterprising spirit, and courteous treatment
| of patrons the increased success of the estab-
| lshment is largely due. He is one of the
! youngest men at the head of great house, but
| he has shown himself one of the most capable
to conduct the business.
The manufacturing and wholesale business in
Baltimore is under the charge of the elder
brothers. Gerson, M. B., and j. b. Eiseman.

cost of keeping other cities clean. Notwth-

streets are beyond criticism.
Last year Superintendent Arnold took trip
to Buffalo for the sole and only purpose of get

in charge of that branch of the service until the
close of the war. When hostilites ceased he
went West and took the contract for cleaning
the streets of Chicago Being one of the suffer

Commissioner of Fire and Police In 1873 Col.
Wright came to Washington and took the con-
tract for street cleaning here, and it was during
Col. Wright's contract that Washington gained
the distinction of being the cleanest city in the
world. September /, 1890, Col. Wright entered
upon his duties as Register of Wills. COL

In No Other Way Can Farm Be More
Rapidly Improved.
1t has been the custom with us to
haul the cattle manure direct to the
grass-lands as it is made, and the longer
we follow the practice the more certain
we are that in no other way can a farm
be more rapidly improved. By no man
ipulation can manure be made richer in
the elements of fertility than when first
produced. Then why store it and risk
the danger of waste from eXhalation
and teaching? By applying in its fresh
coarse state we get all the plant nutri-
ton there is in it, and in addition have
the benefit of it as a protection to grass
roots in winter, and a shelter from the
scorching heat of summer. Year by
year our fields increase their yield of
corn and graSS-other crops are of sec

gradually our neighbors have been
