A Successful oneninp.

The Standard Tailors opened their Lew
establishment at the corner Of Eleventh
and f streets northwest yesterday morning,
and were the recipients of many congr atu-
lations from friends and patrons. Judging
from the crowds and the amo unit af business
done, it i S the beginning of successful
business. They have been located for the
past seven years at the corner Of Seventh
street and Virginia avenue southwest, and
are reaching outfn other directions. Their
large store presented a very pretty ap-
pearanee, with Its palm decorations, and
the many visitors seemed to enjoy looking

A VETERAN IN. DISTRESS.
John Tride's Efforts to Have His
Pension Renewed.

IeuSiDU GeUcWtu.
John L Tride, veteran of the late war,
is in the city searching for friends. He ar
rived here on August 20, and is stopping
at No. 934 F street northwest.
Mr.. Tride enlisted in Company E, First
Illinois Light Infantry, on the 18th os
December, 1861, for three years service,
and WAS mustered out in December, 1864,
at Louisville, KY. His captain was John A.
Fitch. MIR. Tride's home is in Baraboc. Scott
county, Wis, but he came to this city from
the Veterans Home at Wapaea, in that
State. Apparently the old veteran S mind
is falling very fast, for he eanno recall the
names of any of his eomr AIDES in arms. nor
does he remember any Of the important
battles of the war in which he took p art.
The object CT his visit TO Washington is
TO endeavor TO have hisna me replacedon the
pension roll, from which he was stricken
over two years ago. For what cause the
veteran has been deprived of his pension
he does not know and it is to investigate
the cause that lie desires the assistance OF
all Union soldiers. Mr.. Tride was wounded
10 the head in the early part of the war
and is OF the opinion that it has caused his
loss of memory. He has two children, a
boy os twelve and girl. dependent on him
for support, and in his present physical
condition he is utterly unable to earn
livelihood.
On his trip East from Wapaca, Mr.. Tride
says he was treated very kindly by the
men1aersof the Grand Armyof the Republic
wherever he stopped, and to their hos
pitality and generosity he is indebted foE
many comforts and conveniences while en-
route.
Mr. Trde would be glad to have any OF

The great fight between the campers and
the villagers over the postoffice location
at Washington Grove, Md, W as decided by
the Pcstofficc Depart tmeEt yesterday after

firmatiOn OF the appointment Of POSTMASTER
Burns.
This decision by the department that Mr..
Burns sall have the office lie ans that the
summer campers ut the grove viii hereafter
be forced to go across the railroad track
for their mail, and 1T me ans also that these
campers have been defeated In a great
fight for what they considered their rights.
The fight was similar in every way to
the more famous but not by any means
Mr. Burns, the new appontee, has his
place of business on the village side Of
the track, and the old postmaster was
located on the grove side. The campers
thought 1T an outrage that they, who were
SO much more numerous than the villagers,
should be obliged 10 go across the track
for their letters. But tile villagers put
III tie argument that, while they Were
less in numbers, they used the postoffice
all the year around, and not for only four
months. They won, but not, it is said,
because OF their argument. 1t was simply
q case Of letting the new postmaster keep
his postoffice III his store, which happened
to be on their side.

COLD IN THEHEAD

Is acute inflammation ndswelling of the
Olfactory organ which contains the
Nerves of Smell. This organ is a long
ribbon-like membrane and hangs from
the roof of the Nasal passage in folds, as
seen in Fig. 8. When this condition be-
comes chronic, or permanent, it is called
CATARRH. The folds become swollen
into solid mass, so the air in breathing
cannot circulate between them hence
the loss of smell. The Catarrhal microbe
soon makes its appearance, causing q
multitude of small ulcers between these
folds. The pus from these ulcerc is very
poisonous and soon impregnates the
whole mucous surface of the nose, head
and throat with the disease. Medical
works show cases where the tonsIls have
become q corrupt mas Of ulcers. 1t not
infreQuently involves the whole bronchial
passage to the lungs, causing consump-
ton and death. 1t will be seen that
nothing can radically y cure Catarrh which
does not reach to the seat of the disease
between these folds of the Olfactory
organ, and cleanse and heal these ulcers.

tai Offense by n Breach OF Etiquette.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Official soci-
ETY. is aggrieved at the conduct of Mrs.
Francis, the wife of the secretary of
the interior. The case is this: On
Wednesday last, when the ladies of
the cabinet were holding their first re-
ception of the winter, Mrs. Francis
took advantage of her opportunity to
hire District messenger boy and send
out her return call cards to number of
lesser official families who had called
upon her since coming to Washington.
In consequence of this breach of official
etiquette the ladies thus slighted held
an informal meeting to air their indig-
nation, and at first proposed to send
back the Objectionable bits of paste
board. This suggestion was, however,
ovcrruled for the more cutting disap-
proval of completely ignoring the ex-
istence of the aggressor in the future,
and this plan will be faithfully carried
out upon all occasions. Such q step in
the very beginning of Mrs. Francis
official life has given cause for much
comment in social circles.

not the best for our people and unless

plicable to us. We have two courses
to pursue-treat with Dawes, or do
nothing and take the consequences"

are, yet my better judgment teaches
me that this is impossible. We are
the weak in the hands of the strong,
and while we should command, we are
only begging for our government, our
