The Portland Stable.
[See Cut on Page 27.1


Among the livery stables of this city the Port
land Stable of F. M. Draney ranks with the
best. 1t is conveniently located on New York
avenue, near Seventh street, and can be reached
by four lines of cars-the Seventh street cable,
lexington, Ninth street, and Columbia cars.
The front of this building would do credit to
many dwelling-houses, being neatly built of red
press brick laid IN black mortar The building
is four stories in height. The first and second
stories are partly used for horses and partly for
carriages. The third story is for carriages,
paint-shop, and harness repairroom, all the
painting and harness repairing being done on
the premises The fourth story is devoted to
hay, grain, and forage and also storage of vehi-
cles, etc, when not in use. A large carriage
elevator establishes communication between the
ground and top floors. An Otto gas engine sup
plies the motive power for running the elevator
up and down. Hay is cut in the fourth story
with this same power, the engine and cutting
box being connected with long belts. The
entire ground floor is laid in Portland cement;
it has the appearance of stone being,laid out in
tiled squares of different sizes. 1t wears as
hard and enduring as stone.
The stable is exceptionally we'll lighted ven
tilated, and superbly drained hardly any OBJ
iectionable odor can be detected around the
building. The best evidence of the health
fulness of this stable is that during the recent
epidemic of pnk-eye in this city not one case
infected this stable Perhaps the most convinc-
ing testimony of the healthfulness of the stable
as well as the abundance of good feed, are the
horses themselves, all of them bearing witness
to this, being fat hardy, and we'll groomed
Despite the fact of the double advance in feed,
$40 is the price charged for each horse per
month for open stalls and S225O for box stalls.
Every class of vehicle is kept for hire here
handsome landaus, luxurious broughans, stylish
Kensingtons, buckboards, surreys, ,phaetons,
horse and buggies, and wagonnettes for park
driving or pienics-all to be had at fair zand
reasonable prices. To those who are looking
for first-class and reliable livery stable, the
Portland, at 643 and Gas New York avenue, is
the place.

RATCLIFFE, DARR G CO.

How Young Men May Succeed in Business
The History of the Wonderful Growth of
Bright Auction Firm.
About one year ago the now acknowledged
deading firm of auctioneers, Messrs. Ratcliffe,
Darr q Co., the subjects of this sketch, made
their debut in the commercial circles of the
Capital City. Young, vigorous, enterprising,
and bound to succeed, they placed themselves
before the people in their new and elegant
quarters at 920 Pennsylvania avenue northwest
which in so short time has come to be re-
garded as the head and front of the auction
business in this city. While the firm is young,
as we have said, they can yet boast of their age
in the point of experience. Young, be-
cause as a firm they are but a little over
a year established, and old in expert
ence because the active branch brought
with them to the new firm a knowledge
of the business and acquaintance with the city
and the city's interest, acquired, we might say,
from the cradle, having had an experience of
eighteen and fourteen years respectively in the
active conduct of the business together as
clerks Added to this Is the fact that they are
affable, agreeable, pleasant, accommodating,
and panstaking with all their patrons, which ac
counts for the phenomenal and unprecedented
success that has attended their every effort.
The active members of the firm are Mr.. James
w. Ratcliffe and Mr.. Charles w. Darr, both of
whom are extremely popular, and in addition
to their thorough knowledge of their business
are both practical and experienced auctioneers
or criers.
Mr. James w. Ratciffe was born in Balti-
more Md. He came to this city when a boy, and
after engaging in various commercial pursuits
he entered the employ of an auction firm In this
city when the firm began business. Here he
remained for about eighteen years. or until he
resigned to embark in business with the present
firm. He first entered the house of his late en-
ployers as what is known as the record clerk,
and by reason of his energy and careful atten-
tion to the business and interests of his en-
ployers he was made the crier or auctioneer of
the firm, in which capacity he gained thorough
and complete knowledge of values of every
The Sunday herald and weekly national intelligencer., 1891-02-22

the regular salesman, so that, beginning at the
bottom of the ladder, by time, energy, per-
severance, and close application to business he
had as a clerk reached the topmost round, and
has therefore been able to bring with him to
the new firm thorough knowledge of the busi
ness in its every detail.
The building occupied by the firm at 92O Penn
sylvania avenue (which was constructed ex-
pressly for them) is one of the best equipped
buildings for the purpose in the country. Its
handsome front, twenty-five feet wi aeon Penn
sylvania avenue, gives but an imperfes 20 of
the spaciousness of the structure, which .
through the square to street, where is located
a large freight elevator for the reception and
delivery of goods Two floors of this building
are devoted exclusively to sales and contain art
galleries. book sales.rooms, ladies' and gentle
mems retiring-rooms, and every comfort to be
found in the largest retail merchant houses of
the country The two upper floors are devoted
to storage of furniture and merchandise All
the sales of this firm are made exclusively within
their rooms, and they claim that with their
facilities they can arrange conveniently In their
rooms much furniture and merchandise as
can be conveniently sold to advantage in one
day. Their rooms, they claim, are equal to any
in the country, and here they hold regular
sales of furniture and general merchandise, by
auction only, every Tuesday, at 10 o'clock, and
| special sales of books, art goods, and general
merchandise, as occasion requires, selling only
on commission such goods as are consigned to
them, as they do not sell or buy on their own
account, leaving the entire field to their con-
signors and purchasers, which fact alone is an
other evidence of why they do succeed.
In addition TO this auction palace they have
also established a horse, carriage, and harness
mart which occupies the three-story brick
building at $50 street northwest, Immediately
| in the rear of the main rooms. This is supplied
with all the modern conveniences for the con-
duct of such business, and here they hold regu-
lar sales every Saturday, at IL o'clock of horses,
carriages harness. etc, in the same manner as
in the merchandise departments, on commission
only. Aside from these two branches, they

JAMES P. COPELAND,

A Young and Gifted Clairvoyant.
That there are many people who are satisfied
in their own minds that through the medium
ship of clairvoyant or trance medium valuable
advice is attained by superhuman foresight is
apparent. In cases of business, sickness, law
suits, divorce, claims for pensions that have
been pending, and other cases that have puz-
zled the ones whom they have concerned the
advice and predictions of this young medium
have rarely failed.
Although Mr.. Copeland guarantees nothing
positive, his revelations have won for him the
reputation of genuine clairvoyant and phe-
nomenon. This gentleman, although he has
for some years resided in New York, is native
of Philadelphia, where he was born in 1868.
His antecedents for generations past are said
to have also possessed this peculiar power of
prediction. His mother, who was a noted
medium, predicted the great Chicago fire and
also the Civil War years before they came to
pass. Mr.. Copeland was adopted when very
young by Mrs. Crowley, medium of wonder
| full power, and it was when young Copeland
was but seven years of age that it was shown
beyond a doubt that he also pos
sessed wonderful power in this regard.
| He was, when older, for some years medium for
the Eureka Society, of Philadelphia. Since that
time he has travelled, it might be said, the world
| over. His recent visit to Europe was marked
with the greatest success as has been his career
in all the principal cities of the United States.
! Both Mr.. and Mrs. Copeland are to be seen at
their handsomely furnished quarters, at 725
| Eleventh street, and can be consulted and give
rare advice at any time from to 8.

description, both real and personal, and his
judgment is often sought.
Mr.. Charles w. Darr was born ia this city,
on Capitol Hill, ,sand at the age of twelve years
began his business career, and after two years
in other pursuits he met his present partner,
becomnga fellow-employe of the same auction
establishment as messenger and Office boy.
After few years of constant application to
business he succeeded Mr. Ratcliffe as record
clerk upon the latter's promotion. He was
later made book-keeper and cashier, which po-
stion he held when he resigned, after fourteen
years of active service, to embark with his fell
low-clerk in the present business. During this
period he also acted as auctioneer to relieve

kind, such as shirts, underwear, neckties, UNI
brellas, ETC., etc. They make a speciality of
making shirts to order, guaranteeing perfect
fit in all cases.
Mr.. Ireland, being a practical shirt-cutter,
gives his personal attention to this department.
The ready made shirt department embraces full
and complete assortment Of various grades and
sizes. These gentlemen were born in Maryland,
but have long resided in this city, and are fully
identified with the interests of the District.
They are well and favorably known for their
strict integrity and business tact.
