The critic. (Washington, D.C.) 1890-1891, 1891-01-20

A correspondent calls attention to the
fact that Mrs. Harrison has made fresh
departure in the social code of the White
House. Last year she docreed that mt
state receptions the receiving party should
march downstairs in matrimonial couples;
each Cabinet officer escorted his own wife
instead Of some other Cabinet officers
wife. This year she has dcCreed that at
state dinners she shall be escorted TO din
the lady he takes out, instead of going
out, rs other hostesses do, after all tn ,r
guests.

probably that the President "rebuked"

expressed doubt as to the wisdom and pro-
rriety Of the WiNANARER document, but
to represent him as having hauled them

on the average citizens credulity. After
all, Mr.. HAnmsoN IS friend of civil

he thought they were men who could be

GEORGE M. BARKER,
Manufacturer of and Dealer in Sash, Doors,
Blinds, Etc,

Manufacturer of and Dealer in Sash, Doors
Blinds, Etc,
For twenty-five years this house has been
familiar to the builders of the District of Co
lumbia, and the progress it has made has been
proportionate with the growth of the city and
its suburbs. The woodwork of countless
buildings in this region, among them the Allan
tic building and that of w. B. Moses & Sons,
has been supplied by Mr.. Barker.
The history of the establishment has been an
epitome of the history of building in the Dis
trict from the first dawn of the new Washing
ton under the administration of President
Grant to the present day. 1t has kept pace
with the rapid progress in architectural devel-
opment and business enterprise. The sources
of supply for stock have never failed, and nc
reasonable demand for material has gone un.
satisfied.
The cut which we present above gives an idea
of the extent of the Barker establishments from
which the many parts constituting the wood
work of building, and which are supplied from
it, may be surmised. Builders supplies within
their line carried in complete variety, in.
Guiding doors, sash, blinds mantels, ETC.
This business was established by Mr.. Barker
on Massachusetts avenue in 1865. In 1871 he
removed to the present location on New York
avenue, near Seventh street, where the business
is continued under the most advantageous cir.
cumstances.
Since the death of Mr.. Barker, in May, 1885,
the management of the business has devolved
upon Mr.. W. p. Tullock, who has been actively
connected with the house for fifteen years,
during ten of which he has been its practical
manager,

JOHN F. McVEY,

Contractor for Marble Work, ManteIs, Etc.
Mr.. McVey has for many years been known
as an expert mechanic and contractor in all
descriptions of marble work and as the fur
nisher of most of the fine mantel work in the
magnificent new buildings at the Capital.
The variety of designs shown by Mr.. McVey
in his Office at the corner of First street and
Indiana avenue northwest comprises a very
complete assortment of wood and tile mantels
and mantel facings. The tiles embrace designs
in embossed art tile and enamel in a great
variety of tints and figures. Imported printed
tiles are also an important feature while carved
wood mantels show up handsomely.
One of the fads of the day is the colonial
fireplace for wood burning, and Mr.. McVey has
placed many of them in Washington houses,
where the backlog throws forth its ruddy light
to-day
Encaustic tiling in solid colors or varied de-
signs enters largely into the construction of
halls and floors in the finest buildings now
being constructed, and to this part OF the bust
ness Mr.. McYey gives especial attention.
The stock of mantels now displayed is proba-
bly, the most complete ever shown in Washing
ton, and includes the finest work in wood and
French plate glass now before the public.

bng business is conducted; large quantities of
imported and Key West cigars are supplied the,
the trade of Washington from this place. Mr..
Sickle deals in good many ''jobs," and is
always on the alert for both large and small
quantities. To this it might be said that his,
success is in no small measure due, for such in
fact is the reputation of "Sickle's Old Stand"
that many patrons of the place walk several
blocks to obtain genuine Havana or imported
cigar at price which is sure to be right
''Sickle's Best'' is without question the best
fye-cent cigar made in the city, and such is it's,
reputation. "Uncle Sans U. s. Mail Pouch''
also stands without rival in the cigar market
of to-day. Everything to be called for is to-
be seen at this cigar emporium, including every
make of plug and fine-cut tobacco.

by steam. An electric motor also furnishes
power for the spacious elevator. Landlord
Letter conducts the Lincoln both upon the
American and European plans. He provides
for guests the very best the market affords, and
has learned in his long hotel experience to
place before each guest sufficient supply of
viands at time to appease his appetite.
In recent interview with this genial hotel
man it was learned that to this fact his success
is in no small measure due.
The dining-room of the Lincoln is perfection,
the service is complete, and the many promi-
nent persons who remain guests have done

ity in the country. The good qualities of this
preparation are praised on every hand by those
who have been advised to try it as cure for
stomach, eye head throat, skin, and kidney
troubles. The testimonials of many of Wash
ington's leading citizens are open at any time
for inspection, and prove to the entire satsfac
tion of the public that this remedy has curative
properties of nestimable value.
Cooks Balm of Life has a brilliant history.
Its origin dates back to 1868, when Professor
Cook was chief of the Chemical Department at
the Patent Office. His accidental discovery of
this remedy made for him universal reputa-
ton, and since his decease he has, like Lydia
Pinkham been ever in the memory of the pub
lie. For some months past this remedy has
been owned exclusively by L. V. MoXley who
needs no introduction to the readers of this edi-
tion. Within the last two years generous ad-
vertising and skillful management have in
creased its sale 500 per cent, which reflects
credit upon the article, its owner, and manager,
p. Hall Packer, who has identified himself with
Mr.. Moxley as manager of Cooks Balm of Life
since October, 1885,
The building occupied on E street, which is
the mandatory and wholesale depot, was pur-
chased by Mr.. Moxley about year ago. Its
central location and commodity enable the
Cooks Balm of Life to grow and prosper,
which it has always done since it was first put
upon sale until it is fayorably known and
freely purchased in all parts of these United
States

SICKLE'S OLD STAND,

Where Imported and Key West Cigars Are
Extensively Dealt In.
Probably the best patronized wholesale and
retail cigar house on Pennsylvania avenue is
that known to the lovers of a good cigar as
''Sickle's Old Stand" between Tenth and
Eleventh streets. The manager of this popular
stand, Mr.. N. Sickle, is without doubt one of
the best judges of imported and Key West
cigars in the District. His long experience in
the trade is of great value to his patrons, who
receive the benefit of closely bought goods.
Mr.. Sickle has been conducting business in
his present centraly-located store for the past
fifteen years, and during that time the trade
has grown to large proportions. A large job

Mr.. Erastus Wiman, one of the highest

not read everything, and yet one does not want
to be ignorant of what is going on and facil-

There is probably no article made which is

there are without doubt many articles made
which are claimed to be cure-all for most any

has few equals as seaside hotel, and contains
over two hundred rooms. This hotel is elabo-
rately furnished and has all the Improvements
of modern hotel. This hotel at Ocean Grove
will open for the season on the 9th of June.
The proprietor has since the close of last sea-
son spared neither expense nor pains in making
extra improvements. The Sheldon has been re-
painted both inside and out, and has new clos
cts on each floor, besides other but minor
changes. AS the Sheldon has the only elevator

class of guests who accustomed to make this

FRESNO, Cal, Oct. 24.-Opposition to the Chi

Chinese population OF 5000, has taken a serious
turn. The railroad company has discharged
some white section men, substituting Chi
nese. On Saturday night the whole of
Chinatown at Madeira was destroyed
by fire, evidently incendiary. More than 100
coolies were made homeless At Selma, on Sat-
urday night about fifty workmen visited the
China section hands and ordered them to leave
by midnight, but the officers interfered. AS
matter OF precaution the Chinese were
brought here, and last night the house
which they had vacated was set
on fire. On Saturday morning the
streets of Selma were found placarded with
posters urging the driving out of Chinese, re-
citing the fact that within a week twenty white
men have been replaced at that point with Chi
nese by the railroad company which meant
loss OF $4,000 year to business and the driving
OF white men into enforced idleness

ing has dispatch from st. Petersburg which
says the minister of the interior, in declining
the proposition of deputation of rich Moscow
merchants 10 form society for the relief of
victims of the fam.ne-strlcken district, declared
that anybody attempting to visit the
districts where famine prevailed for any
such object as that described would
be arrested The immigration society has pro-
hibited the organization of relief committees at
certain points. This is supposed to be due TO
the fact that reliance on government relief will
have bad moral effect on the peasants who
would decline TO work on relief railways, roads,
etc, and spend the money they received In
drink. They are too lazy TO SOW corn while the
ready cash OF the famine fund Is procurable.
