EVIDENCES OF ESTEEM.
Crowds of Well-wfshers Attend the
Chery & Moran Co. OpeninG.

Well-wishers in great crowds attended
the christening last night Of the new estab-
lishment Of the Cherry and Moran Company.
No. S11 Pennsylvania avenue, and the SEN
timent expressed by the throngs was a
gratifying precursor to the substantial
favor the firm will surely receive from the
people of Washington. The visitors found
everything brand new in the building, ex-
cept the proprietors and their energetic
and experienced assistants and clerks, who
were old in friendship at least with nine out
of ten Of the callers. The handsome deco
ratlons, the many conVenienceS and the
tastefully selected stock of mems and boys
clothing and furnishings that filled the three
floors, connected by easy stairways and a
rapid electric passenger elevator, were
thoroughly examined and commented on in
the most complimentary manner. Pretty
souvenirs were distributed, aluminium
backed memorandum books being given to
the men and fresh roses and carnations to
the ladies. From 7:3O to II o'clock and
after the store was thronged, and the occa-
sion was an enjoyable one to all con-
cerned.
Cherry and T. Piiny Moran were identified
with the firm of Robinson and Cherry Com
pany for many years, and to their ability,
capacity and untring efforts was due in
very material degree the high reputation
that firm enjoyed for reliable merchandis-
ing. They contributed substantially to the
upbuilding of the great emporium at 18th
ana streets and then in brief hour saw
an the work of toiiing years go up in

suHcient to diminish their energy in any
degree, however, and after brief tempo

young men went avenue-ward, and now
