A short time ago Alexander Bliss wrote
to the Commissioners. requesting permis-
sion to remove a frame dwelling house in
the rear Of POPS L street northwest and
locate 1t on the adjoining lot adjacent to a
24-foot alley. The matter was referred to
Building Inspector Entwisle at the time
but not feeling authorized to grant the
request he did not consider the applica-
located in an alley. which is in violation
of the law. The matter was thereupon re-
ferred to the attorney for the District by
the Commissioners and he rendered an

that they have no authority under the law
to permit the structure to be removed
Mr. EntwiSle in his report to the Commits

cause prohibited by law.

When Mr.. Gallup got up from the sup
per table, he slowly and carefully pulled
vi the coat he had worn during the day,
hung IL on n hook on the door leading into
tho kitchen, and from its hook in the lat
ter room he took down and put on the old
coat which he always wore to do ''thc
chores" in. The family cow had been
afflicted with mud cracks for n week
past, and n neighbor had told him to melt
up mutton tallow and add little sweet
oil and use as n salve. Mrs. Gallup had
the salve ready in a basin, and as he
picked IL up and started for the harm she
began the work OF clearing of the supper
table, and her spirits were so buoyant
that she was singing the old song of Bar

Mr.. Gallup thought IL best TO tie the
cow to the barnyard gate before working
ut her feet, and he was engaged in this
operation when Mrs. Gallup appeared he

DR.. Hclmbnld was a powerful testimonial
to the benefits of advertising. 1t is said
that he spent n million dollars in advertis-
ing his buchu, and the money came back
to him tcnfold, but he could not stand
prosperity. and so his money went almost
rs fast as it came. There are many star
thing stories about his reckless expendi-
lures. He gave 500, 900 as a campaign
fund and spent $50, 900 upon team of
white horses and barouche, in which he
took General Grant to the Monmouth race

DRESS SUITS TO RENT.
Facts About the Business, tho Prices and
the Men Who Hire Them.

Facts About the Business, tho Prices and
the Men who Hire Them.
Moro men than over buy dress suits now
adays, and moro dress suits than ever arc
hired also. There are in New York prob
ably so or 60 places where dress suits can
be hired. The cost varies from so cents TO
SO n night, depending on locality and tho
character of the suit. The wearers of hired
dress suits include guests in hotels and
visitors in the city who have unexpectedly
found need of u drc=s suit. Dress suits are
sent daily in the season from this city to
Brooklyn and Long Island, Huboken. Jer-
sCy City and Staten Island and frcoucnt-
ly to- places farther away.
There il one establishment whose sole
business Is renting dress suits. Generally
the business Is carried on in connection
with some other trade. Some men hire n
dress suit once "a season, others two or
three times, and others again hire them
season after season, thus avoiding the
trouble Of keeping dress suits of their own
in order. At the establishment devoted
exclusively to the business there are kept
in stock from $50 To $50 suits. The suits
are of good quality and fashionably cut
The charge runs from 81 to 49, The latter
price might bc charged for IA suit that had
never been worn. \ party of a dozen or
Is men hiring together would get them at
haps 90 or 60 men, hire dress suits for n
ball or reception. In such cases they get
them Mt perhaps 81 a suit. When strangers
want To hire dress suits, u deposit is some
times required, usually SEQ or $25.
The ordinary life of II dress suit Is about
two years After that il is let at n lower
price, perhaps 81. ~. tn bc worn in anna
tour minstrel entertainments or for uses

likely to get in ordinary social service. In
their final estate the coats arc sold to wait
crs for 81. 30 or So. such coats may be in
good order and not much worn, but not
in the current style.
or course winter Is the best season for
this business. hut there is something doing
the year round. 1t Is not unusual for men
going away over sunday to hire dress suits
to take with them. Tho hest months of
the year are January and February. The
greatest demand of ali comes on the nights
of the great public balls.-Ncw York sun.
