The Topeka state journal., 1899-10-28

From the Chicago News.
A firm name sometimes indicates
business inIrmity.
A spinster says marriage isn't as
much of failure as marrying.
A man is very apt to play the races
and the fool simultaneously.
Poverty may be useful at times. but
it is never in the ornamental class.
1t is a deplorable fact that idle curl
osity keeps lot of people busy.
But few people are able to appreciate
a good thing until after they lose it.
All the worlds stage and all the
people thereon would rather play than
work.
Men sometimes denounce gossip, but
not until they have listened to every
word of it.
The average girl never turns up her
nose at the man who knows enough to
turn down the gas.
An elaborate tombstone and a con-
tested will is about the only nOtoriety
wealth brings to some men.
If a man succeeds the world envies
him; if he fails it sympathizes with
him-and secretly rejoices.
1t may be all right for a girl to hustle
around for a husband, but after she
gets him he should do the hustling.
According to the proverb, riches do
not make happiness. Neither does
poverty. for that matter, 50 people
might just as well accumulate what
wealth they can in an honest way.

Each year since then the business growth
of this house has made it necessary to add
a building to the original one, so that to-
day instead of having a single building
devoted to dry goods, the concern con-
sists of four buildings consolidated into
one. which contains forty-two distinct de-
partments.
Goldenberg's yesterday eommemorated
it's introduction to Washington four years
ago by formally opening the immense store
10 enable the public to inspect its many
wonders for the fall and winter.
The throng of visitors to the place found
in the basement an assortment of house
furnishing goods and crockery, complete
in detail and sufficient in quantity TO SEEM
ingly supply the entire city. Everything
Imaginable used about a home may be
found there, and the low price induced
many persons who visited the basement
from curiosity, to make large purchases.
The first floor of this great department
store is subdivided into many departments.
In one may be found dry goods, fiannels.
ETC. in another, silks of rich eolors, dress
goods of the prevailing patterns. and golf
cloth.of every possible design. In another
department may be found every article
needed fer gentleman's toilet, and near by
ladies may obtain the notions they require,
including jewelry, gloves, etc. The hos
iery department has complete stock OF
goods of the newest patterns, and the un-
derwear exposed TO view is of a variety to
suit all patrons. The art department is
oyerflowing with bric-a- brac, fancy cush-
ions, needework, etc.
Perhaps the most tasteful and delightful
display made by this great house is in the
millinery department on the second floor
Here may be found creations of the mil
iners' art in the most elaborate and ele-
giant designs. The imported hats are truly
gems, and those made in this country are
unusually attractive and bewitening, the
greater portion being correct copies of
very expensive imported styles. Fur, birds
of paradise, velvet, and Persian wool is
displayed in the creation of these beauti-
full hats in the most catching manner of
an unusually clever milliner.
The cloak department for ladies and
misses is wonderland, and includes golf
capes, coats, fur jackets, cellarettes, etc
The display is an expensive and tasteful
one. The same may be said of the tailor
made suits which are marvels Of workman
ship and quality. Every article is repre-
sented honestly. and if it does not prove
satisfactory the house follows its we'll
known custom of refunding the money or
exchanging the garment. A new depart
ment is that for infants wear. Here may
be obtained any article needed for in
fants, This stock has the largest assort-
ment in this city. 1t has been made
specially. The boys clothing department
is larger this year than ever.
Goldenberg's introduced in this city the
custom of trimming hats free of cost for
its customers. and the practice will be con-
tinued this year. A large corps of millin-
ers has been engaged expressly for this
work.

the Supreme Court of the District
Gen. Thomas H. Anderson was Gamed
to supersede Henry E. Davis. as United
States Attorney for the District of Colum-
bia, and Louis A. Dent. formerly United
States Consul at Kingston, Jamaica, was
appointed Register of Wills for the Dis
trict, to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of j. Nota McGill The nomi-
nations for these offices have been anx-
iously looked for, especially by the mem
bers of the District bar, ever since the
vacancies occurred, and there has been
much speculation as to who the President
would name for the positions. There
were several aspirants for the position
of the associate justice of the Supreme
Court of the District and for the ittor-
neyship, but as it was expected when
Mr.. McGill resigned that Mr. Dent would
be named to succeed him no one else was
urged for the place.
During the last week or two the ques-
tion of who would be named by the
President for the first two positions has
been the daily topic of discussion among
the members of the bar. The chief in
terest, however, centred in the selection of
a successor to Justice Cox. For the last
ten or twelve days, however, only three
of the aspirants for the position-Henry
E. Davis, Andrew B. DuvalI and Job
Barnard-were considered to be in the race.
Then it was understood that Mr.. Davis
had withdrawn from the contest From
that time on rumor had it one day that
Mr.. Duyail had been decided upon by the
President, and on the next it was main
tanned with great certainty by the friends
of Mr. Barnard that he was Mr. McKinley's
choice for the position. Even up to the
time the nominations were announced
yesterday, there were many who still
claimed that it was very doubtful on whom
the President would confer the honor of
the associate justiceship.
When the announcement was made, how
ever, there was but one opinion expressed
by the members of the bar and other
prominent residents of the District. On
every hand it was acknowledged that the
selections of the President were excellent,
and were the result of careful enquiry as
to the fitness of those suggested for the
places.
