THE GOLDENBERG STORES.
Dependable Goods at Low Prices the
Rule There.

Dependable Goods at Low Prices the
Rule There.
Goldenberg's establishment is now in full
holiday attire, and the stocks pertaining to
the Christmas season are complete. One Is
especially attracted by the display of fancy
goods, while the stock of sterling silver
ware, toys. housefurnishings. bric-a-brac,
etc, is unusually attractive. The stock Of
toys and dolls Is notably large this season
and the crowded aisles in this department
amply testify to the merits Of the goods
and their low prices.
A noticeable feature in the stores ar
rangement which attracts the attention Of
the visitor is the cloak department, as the
proprietors realize that 80 many useful
stock of fine fur neck pieces, handsome silk
skirts and automobile coats is particularly
extensive.
The great volume Of business done at
Goldenberg's s may we'll be accepted as a
sign of their popularity. This store does q
strictly cash business, offering merchan-
disc of good. sterling value at low prices,
which discriminating buyers realize to their
advantage.
Among the special features offered by this
firm are the Perdonet kid gloves at 81 per
pair. which have achieved such wide popu-
larity, being, the Goldenbergs claim, the
best value in the kid glove line In Wash
ington Also among Its line Of fancy goods
are to be found handsome dressing cases
and work boxes.
On the second floor Is the assortment of
handsome fur neck pieces, which have found

REDUCING WORKING HOURS
Commissioners Transmit to Congress-
Bill to Amend Law.

Comm ssicners Transmit to COnsress
Bill to Amend Law.
The District Commissioners have trans
mitted to the chairmen Of the Senate ami
House committees on District affairs the
draft of a bill to amend the act of Con-
gress regulating gas works, approved June
%, 1874, the object of the amenda tory act
being to make the working hours of the
employees in the laboratories of the gas
works the same as those of the officers and
employees Of the District government. The
Commissioners, in their letters of transmit
tai, stated that they know Of no reason
why this should not be done, as they be-
lieve that no public interests would suffer
in consequence Of the change, which is
recommended by the inspector of gas and
meters, DR.. S. Calvert Ford, who is the i'm
mediate superior of the employees in said
service.
The present hours Of labor Of the en-
ployes in question are from o'clock am.
to o'clock pm, the bill proposed by the
Commissioners making the hours from 3
O'Clock am. to o'clock pm. In this con-
soners by DR.. Ford the 10Th of last Octo-
Der, in replying to an inquiry as to the
duties Of himself and employees, is recalled.
In this statement, growing out of the nu-
merous complaints made to the Commission
ers of the poor quality and inadequate pres
sure of the gas supplied consumers here,
DR.. Ford said: Making the tests for the
illuminating power and purity in the four
laboratories takes all my time from :,
O'Clock am. to 6 o'clock pm. daily. The
two assistant inspectors are kept constant
ly employed testing and sealing meters for
both gas companies, and meters complained
of by consumers Of gas" In view of this
statement of the inspector of gas and
meters. 1t is not unlikely that Congress
will ask whether 1t is advisable to reduce
the hours of labor of these employees near
lY 25 Der cent.

opinions Will differ, but / believe the ma

supply; third, the completion OF tl,, sewer.

None OF said funds should be used for
street extension nor for paving streets AZ
near as possible each section Of the city
should be improved in proportion to taxes
PAID The following figures show the per-
centage of taxes paid by each section of
the city County not included):
Northwest section, 1895 per centum;
southwest section. 6.24 per centum: SOUTH
east section, 6.71 per centum; northeas,
section s65 per centum; Georgetown, 90

The filtration plant will benefit all seo-
tons equally. OF course the muuicipaI
building must go to the northwest section.
and 1t is hoped that a site will be selected
on the south side OF Pennsylvania avenue.
