London Street Cries.
From the London Chronicle.

We who complain now Of street cries
have very little idea Of what the early
Hanoverian Londoner endured In that re.
spect. At that time many things were
hawlked In the streets that are now sold
across the counter; such as herbs and
drugs, birthstone matches, milk, fruit,
bread. nsh and all kinds Of habsrdashery.
Added to this. the actual noise Of the
tramc was far greater then than now. II
was after the days Of the lsisurely pack
horse and before the period Of asphalt
paving and rubber tirssi the streets were
paved with cobble stones, and nlied with
cumbersome wagons, numbering stare
coaches and other clumsily-made vehicles.
Heavy things were even dragged about on
iron drays that had no whoels. 20 that tho
uoiee sometimes must have besn deafening.
hut the eighteenth century Londoner seems
to have been proud Of the noise. To the
country. people, too. che noise of London

lumbia, controlled by the one masterful
spirit, proceeded to improve the city of
Washington by opening up. grading and
paving avenues and streets all over it, &C
cording to Washington's plan. The val
leys were filed up with the hills. The
work was done on grand SCALE and all
over the city at once, SO that when it had
once been begun 1t was easier to go on
and finish 1t than to try to undo it. Sud-
denly and generally the ploughshare Of
progress was driven roughly but skillfully
in all sections OF the city. Naturally, there
was bitter and ardent protest from prop
erty owners who preferred the old condi-
tions to the increased taxation Of the new.
But for the time being the new force at
work was Irresistible. and before 1t could
be checked it had started the new Wash
ington, and had made 1t impossible to go
backwards. All that the reactionary forces
could do, aided by political change in
Congress and the panic of 1873. was to
halt the march Of improvement and change
the form Of government. Although the
charges Of corruption and thievery, which
were so freely made, were not established
in the congressional investigation that fol-
lowed. and though the general results Of
what was done under the territorial gov
ernment were accepted as on the whole
beneficial, although 1t took years to make
some sec 1t, the taxpayers OF the District
generally were satisfied by their experi-
ences that they wanted no more Of the
electoral franchise under the apparently
unchangeable condition Of universal man
hood suffrage, and therefore they induced
Congress In 1874 to provide for the gov
ernment OF the District without sufrraee
by q temporary board Of three Commis-
sioners. which was to prepare the way for
q permanent government by Commission
ers. At the same time Congress was
brought to acknowledge for the first time
fits financial obligations to the District of
Columbia In view Of the fact that the titie
to more than one-half of the real estafe
was In the United States, and the nationaI
government was receiving the full benefit
OF all municipal services. Congress prom
ised that under the new government hv
Commissioners It would pay half the az
penses OF the District, the other half to

SILKS

Up until last year we did a fairly good
business in silks. 1t was perhaps as dis
tinguished as the best stores Of the coun-
try did. But an opportunity came for us
to get back the leadership which had drift
ed during the war to New York and
Boston.
You may be sure we seized it eagerly.
In two months we bought and sold more
than 100000 yards of silks, SO that
doors of commerce closed to other silk
stores are open to US. We see often what
nobody else gets peep at; and the vast
quantities we have handled have made us
SO famous that importers of silk are
anxious to get our trade. Many of them
even reduce their profits to get it. SO
the silks are cheaper, the variety is
greater, and there are more exclusive
things here than elsewhere in the United
States.
Isn't it better for maker to sell great
quantities at small profit than not SO
much at a little profit? That's the secret
of our low prices.
And the secret OF our success is that we
are always glad to take back what we
have sold at exactly what we have sold it
for, and give you back your money-but
the things must be fresh.

The Franklin Guards Pleased at Emcampment
Near Littletor.
(Littleton News eporter.)

The Franklin Guards have returned to
their homes. We congratulate Captain
McGhee and Franklin county upon the
conduct of the men while here. A guard
house was built but obedience to orders
and general behavior was so good that
not an occupant occupied it during the
encampment. The people of the town
showed their appreciation of the gentle
manly conduct of the soldiers by visiting
the camp. From three to five hundred
people visited the camp daily, and on
Monday something like 1900 people at
tended the sham battle. Captain McGhee
and Major Winston on behalf of the COM
pany desire to express their thanks to
the people of Littleton and surrounding
country for the hospitable manner in
which they were received and treated
while here. There were visitors from
other companies at camp, all of whom
declared Camp Register to be the most
comfortable and finest camp ground yet
seen. The men were full of praise of
the water at the camp spring, nearly all
OF whom had been directly benefited by
the mineral waters. If left to the men
to say, We believe very large majority
OF them would vote Camp Register the
place for the next State encampment.

But the novelties are peculiar. Each year
man goes to Europe particularly to Paris,
where he sees the 3est that the world has
made; hc chooses from what he sees, and
occasionally has beautiful things made af-
ter his own designs These things, of
course, nobody else in America gets, so
that much of our dress goods is exclusive

But that doesn't account for the price of
it. 1t is notable fact that we undersell
