The Parsees will not burn or bury
their dead, because they consider a
dead body impure, and they will not
suffer themselves 10 defile any Of the
elements. They therefore expose
their corpses TO yultures, a method
revolving, perhaps, to the imagina.
tion, but one which commends itself
TO all those who Oarc acquainted there
with. And, after all, one sees moth

Tower OF Silence. AT the entrance
they look their last on the dead, and
the corpse bearers-a caste Of such
carry il within the precincts and lay
1t down, to be finally disposed of by
the vultures which crowd the tower.
And why should the swoop of flock
OF white birds be more revolving than
what happens at the grave?
Meanwhile, and for three days
after, the priests say constant prayers
for the departed, for his soul is sup
posed not TO leave the world till the
fourth day after death. On the
fourth day there is the Unthanna
ceremony, when the large sums OF
money are given away in memory Of
the departed. The liturgy in use is

OF superstitions, the Parsees have
had more than they retain. Con-
nected with burial is the popular con-
ception as to the efficacy OF a dogs
gaze after death. Dogs are sacred,
and supposed to guide the souls of
the dead to heaven, and TO ward off
evil spirits; hence it is customary TO
lead a dog into the chamber OF death,
that he may look at the corpse before
it is carried away to the Tower. The

SUCCESS IN BUSINESS.
How One of the City's Big Establish
ments Grew From n Small Beginning


ments Grew From n Small Beginning.
Thirty-two years spent in business, 1861
to 1888, is the story the house of Messrs
Lansburgh & Bro. tells. Yet, so success
full has the firm been that after all it seems
but a very short period, notwithstanding
the years now gone record the steps by
which a most enviable position has teen
attained from a most minute beginning
In the early years of the war these two
prominent Washington business men open
ed small establishment on 9TH street be-
tween / and X; four years later their bust
ness had so increased that larger facilities
were an absolute necessity, and they moved
to a point on the same street a few doors
below their present location. Success, at
tained by fair and honest efforts to please
their patrons, still attended the firm, AMI in
October, 1852, they again were forced to
move because of the increase of their hush
ness, this time moving to their present
handsome establishment on the same street
between d and E. There the firm stands
today, their house a pleasing monument to
honesty, thrift and enterprise.
The firm is composed of Gustavus and
James Lansburgh, men who are today
and have been for many years. held in the
highest esteem in this, the home Of their
adoption, for both were born in GERMANY
Coming to- this country when quite yourg
they were educated in Baltimore, and Iinal-
ly came to this city, where they have ever
since lived, and with which they have be-
come most closely identified. In quiet
painstaking way, without sensationalism
they have made themselves what they are
today, widely respected citizens, and among
the most prominent Of Washington mer-
chants.
Their establishment Is known not only
as one where every article known to the
dry goods trade may be found, but also as
one where every article is found 10 be pre-
cisely as represented. That principle has
always actuated the firm in their trade,
and to it may be attributed their wonderful
success That their business is an immense
one may be seen when 1t is stated that
their employees number nearly 40, pre-
sided over by their deservedly popular
manager, Mr.. Isaac Cans But It IS not
alone in their great establishment that
Messrs. Lansburgh & Bro. are financially
interested, for they are large real estate
dealers, and are also connected with many
of the local financial institutions.

WILL VETO THE ORDINANCE.
Mayor Fletcher bitterly Opposed to
the Prize FfRht,

At a late hour last night Mayor Fletcher
Of Jacksonville, Fla, was induced to ex-
press himself upon the prize fight ordinance
passed by the city council yesterday.
He said that he would veto Il as soon as
1t reached him, and that IL the council
should pass it by a two-thirds vote over his
veto he would still decline to attach his
signature to the measure.
Il stand" said the mayor, "just where I
stood at the beginning-unalterably opposed
to prize fighting in Jacksonville There are
sixteen members Of the city council, and it
will take eleven votes to pass this thing
over my veto. II II is so passed the state
law, whatever ii is, will still be operative,
but the courts will probably be called upon
to decide the matter by a test case long
before the 18th of January. / somehow
feel that the fight will surely be held here,
and L must say that I deeply deplore the
situation, but 1 shall have done my whole
duty when veto the ordinance"
The city council passed on its third read
ing the ordinance permitting prize fights
with fve-ounce gloves and guaranteeing
police protection. The vote on the final
passage was II for and against 1t takes
two-thirds vote to pass the ordinance
over the veto, and this the fight people
have.

A BUSINESS FIRMS DILEMMA.
1t Must Stop Advertising or Add to It's
Already Large Store Space.

Already Large store space
Seven or eight years ago Messrs. john
ston Brothers and Company devoted their
entire business to the tea and coffee trade,
doing their own roasting and conducting a
small, modest establishment Today they
are in the same line of trade, but in addi-
ton have developed their business until it
now embraces every conceivable branch of
the grocery trade Years ago one small
store accommodated their trade; today three
great stores do not give them the facilities
which their constantly expanding business
demands. AS perhaps best indicating the
great extent of their business it can be
stated that the firm has a repair shop of it's
own at 6O7 New York avenue, where the
constantly recurring repairs to its twenty
or more wagons are made.
Speaking with one of the members of the
firm today Star reporter was informed
tnat it could well be said that the more
the firm advertised the more it's business
increased. I'VE have got to do one of two
things" explained the member of the firm.
EITHER further enlarge our store space or
stop advertising. OF course, we do not pro-
pose to stop advertising, especially in The
Star, and therefore the only thing left for
us to do is to increase our store space by
the addition of more rooms or more stores"
1t was stated that the firm had observed
another feature as the result of their eX-
tenSive advertising, and that was that peO-
pie who saw the goods advertised asked no
questions about them when they came to
make their purchases. They accepted them
as they We're advertised at the prices stat
ed and for the quality named. thereby dem
onstrating the fact that the purchasers
believed the goods to be all they were ad-
vertised to be.
That is, the patrons of the firm had come
to know that everything advertised would
be sold precisely represented.
1T was explained that while the firm made
it great point of their business to keep in
stock every line in the grocery trade, at
both wholesale and retail prices they still
made a specially of their tea and coffee
trade doing, as in the years past, their
own roasting. as might be observed from
visiting either of the firms places of bust
