The most popular place in Washington
last night was William Hahn & Co.'S
mammoth shoe emporium. at the corner
of X and Seventh Streets. The occasion
was the opening of the recently enlarged
and remodeled building of this long-estab-
lished shoe house. and the invitation TO
be present and participate was gladly ac-
cepted by hundreds of the patrons and
friends of the establishment.
Long before the appointed hour hun
dreds of people from all parts of the city
were crowded about the doors of the
magnificent shoe house. A lovely scene
was presented to them upon their entry
The store was brilliantly lighted, and
music greeted their ears while their eyes
feasted on the beautiful decorations which
were to be seen on every side. The great
crowd, however was handled in excel
everyone was kept moving slowly ahead,
and the scene reminded the looker-on of

To each visitor thu proprietors presented
a handsome gift as a souvenir of the oc-

Co was established by the senior member
of the firm, who began business in this
city on Pennsylvania Avenue, near
Twentieth Street in 1876. He was sue

On the lst of last October, in company

he discovered that the firm in question
had installed a private telephone service

a building on the north side of Pennsyl-
vania Avenue, near Eleventh Street
thence across the Avenue to a fixture on
Harvey's roof, and continuing to the
shops OF Barber & Ross on Ohio Avenue
From information gathered" says the
inspector, 'it seems that Ben Brown well
known to the police, and notorious for
doing this kind of crooked work, and a
man named a. Hepburn accomplished
this work"
The Police Court records show that on
October II last the two men mentioned
were arrested and the case tried in the
Police Court, resulting in the imposition
of a fine of SIS on Brown and so on Hep

The Opening of this avenue made a di-
rect route from Tenleytown and Wesley

venience to the travelling public. The
communication further pointed out that
within the last year the avenue had been
badly washed out, and suggested that as

the increased rate of one and one-half
per cent since the recording of the plat it
seemed to be the duty of the District to
put the avenue in good repair and to keep
it for the use of the general public as

CROWDED MARKET STREETS.
Steps VIII BE TnI.en to Give Farm
Room.

Complaint was recently made to Com
missioner Wight by a citizen residing in
one of the streets adjacent to the George
town market that the farmers frequent
ing the market and offering their goods
for sale were encroaching too much on
the adjoining streets. An investigation
developed the fact that the space on the
south side of the market is occupied by
the hay scales. and that on the north
side the market is bounded by a rapid
transit line. which precludes the occu-
pancy of the street for other purposes.
leaving only the streets on the east and
west sides of the market for the use of
the farmers. On these two streets the
roadways are quite broad and the pave
ments too narrow to accommodate the
farmers and their wares
Commissioner Wight suggested in view
of these conditions, that sufficient space
could be had if the pavements on each
side of these streets be extended three
feet, and query was made of Engineer
Commissioner Beach inquiring whether
the character of the streets was such
that the improvement in question could
be made
The Engineer Commissioner, in return
ing the papers to the Commissioners,
stated that there would be no difficulty in
