NO "GREEN GOODS" THERE,
An Advertisement That Had q Peculiar and
Unexpected Effect.

An Advertisement That Had Peculiar and
Unexpected Effect.
From the Commercial Advertiser.
This is not a green goods emporium" was
the strange sign that reporter saw today
hanging in the Office Of rubber stamp manu-
factory in Broadway. 1t is to some extent a
result Of the Morning Advertisers expose of
the green goods headquarters When one of
the proprietors was asked the meaning Of the
sign he laughed, twitched tho placard around.
and on the other side was only please shut
the door" sign. The gentleman said that a boy
had lettered the other sign as a joke, and he
had forgotten it was in sight.
The origin of the sign was in two strange
incidents. A very well-dressed woman, tall
and with a Swedish appearance and accent.
called yesterday and said, 81 wish one of those
stamps"
What stamps?" she was asked.
why, one OF those stamps that you make
money with she replied.
Pardon me, do not understand you," said
the manufacture
Why" she said inpatiently, 'one of those
stamps that you make money with-United
States money"
The rubber stamp man courtcously but firmly
assured her that they made stamps for any
such purpose. Before he could say more she
vanished.
This occurrence was a puzzler. During the
discussion of it one of the firm suddenly re-
membered a letter that had been received
from cross roads post Office in Ohio. 1t was
to the effect that II their stamp machine could
Iuako money equal TO what they claimed they
could send one to the writer. c. o. D., by ex-
press The tenor of the letter convinced them
thatVhe writer did not want rubber stamps or
to engage in manufacturing them.
After awhile the other partner recollccted an
advertisement that had been carried by a list of
papers having rural circulation. 1t WIS
headed in full-faced black capital letters: How
to make rubber stamps and money"
Beside the reading matter of the ADVERTISE
ment was a cut of a curious machine made for
the use of rubber stamp makers.
The partners have reached conclusion that
in some way readers of this particular adver.
tisement have read between its lines or con-
ceived its intent to be that it offers a literal
process of manufacturing counterfeit coin or
paper currency.

Need of Clean Streets.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Can you inform me, through your valuable
and interesting Journal, why the streets Of
Washington are kept in such a filthy condition?
Formerly one Of the greatest attractions Of
Washington was its clean streets, so much SO
that was in the habit Of mentioning it to all
the strangers l met as on inducement to live
here.
few years ago New York city was nowhere
in regard to the condition Of its streets whom
compared with Washington. Now even the
streets Of New York are cleaner and healthier
than those of the national capital, There might
be more excuse for dirty streets in New York,
where an overcrowded population, q grea. bust
ness center and ''Tammany" might be answer
able tor them but that this beautifully laid out
city, broad avenues and plenty Of room, should
have very dirty streets filled with garbage,
manure and dust, there is no excuse.
l have read several articles in your paper
commenting on the defective drainage and
sewage Of Washington, and danger thereby
from cholera. But dirty streets are as fruitful
pest-breeding nurseries AS bad sewerage and
more SO than unrestricted emigration, against
which the cry is now being raised.
Why wait till cholera is at our doors and car
rying of our dear ones to clean the streets? b.
