THE OLDEST DRUGGIST.
Mr.. John R. Major Went Into Bust
ness in 1859

Very few men in the commercial life Of
Washington can talk more interestingly Of
the citSs growth during the past half cen
fury than Mr.. John r. Major, the Oldest
living druggist of the city. He was born
in Alexandria, Va, in August. 1887. and
came to Washington when but twenty years
of age.
On April /. 1850 with modest capital, he
started in business for himself. choosing as
location for his first venture the north
west corner of 7th and H streets. There he
remained for nearly forty years From 9TH
and II streets Mr.. Major, In 1894, removed
to 7th and G streets. where he II now
located.

BILLIARDS IN THE HOME
THE BRUNSWICK-BALKE COLLEEN.
DER COMPANY.
It Has Become a Popular House and
Introduces a Popular
Fireside Fad.

A history Of the Industrial growth OF
Washington would be incomplete If mention
were not made of the well-known Bruins
wick Bake Collender Company Of 712 18TH
street northwest, whose large and pros
porous establishment Is SO widely known to
the general public. The product OF this
company has a worldwide reputation. there
not being a city or town in the United
States which does not have It's billiard
tables in either private residences or clubs.
OF all the forms of indoor recreation
there are noon more popular than the home
billiard table In fact, modern houses are
now being built with arrangements for the
accommodation Of billiard tables, and in
Washington this fact Is strikingly shown
by the many individuals who have In
stalled billiard tables in their homes.
In January, 1891, the Brunswick-Balke
Collender Company opened branch house
at 1411 Pennsylvania avenue northwest, the
concern occupying the upper floors at this
number, which they utilized for the dis
play Of their goods and also as an office.
Prior to the establishment of this office the
company's representatives were accustomed
to visit the city only on occasions which
required their attention.
The business grew with remarkable rapid
ity, and in 1894 it was moved to 1910 Penn
sylvanIa avenue northwest, owing to the
limited facilities at their former number.
A work shop was added and was under the
charge of foreman with capable mechan-
les. 1t was equipped with all the neces-
sary tpols and appliances for the repair and
renovation Of billiard tables and all work
appertaining to their line of business.
This location was used for five years, and
at the expiration of that time it was found
that still larger and more commodious quar-
ters were required, owing to the ever-in-
creasing business. The company then
leased their present location al 712 18th
street northwest, which was rebuilt and ar
ranged to suit their business, and was open
ed on August /, 1859.
In this building which is particularly
adapted to the business, Is a large and
handsome show room on the first floor, in
which the members of the company take
pleasure in biting their goods to the
trade; modern and well equipped shop on
the second floor. here all repairs are made.
and where some few special orders are con-
structed, and large storage room on the
third floor where an extensive and assorted
stock is constantly kept on hand. The firm
also utiliZes the basement for storage pur-
poses.
company also does large business in the
refrigerator line. This company has de-
signed, made, and set up nearly ninety per
cent of the large and small refrigerators
used in the hospitals and other institutions,
hotels and apartment houses in this city.
1t has also built special designs of refriger-
arors for large number of restaurants,
grocery and provision stores in Washington.
The refrigerators for private houses have
become quite popular. there being twenty
seven hundred now installed In this city.

velous. The entries show that IN 1873 there
was yearly output of but 1,414 barrels
of beer. In 1901 the yearly output was
over 1000 barrels. In 1878 the average
quantity of beer kept on hand was 1874
barrels. At this time the storage depart
ment of the company contains $3.50 bar
relS of the beverage. These figures tell a
story of business advancement which words
cannot supplement.
Mr.. Christian Heurich has been a public
benefactor in many directions. 1t was due
almost entirely to his efforts and his en-
terprise that the price of ice lowered
in this city at a time when exorbitant
rates for that warm weather necessity were
threatened He installed an ice-making
plant in his extensive establishment In 1885,
and not only made ice for his own imme-
date uses, but supplied it to his patrons
which had the effect of shivering the high
price slate that was being prepared and
bringing down the price Of that commodity.

THE BERLITZ SYSTEM
FAMOUS PLAN OF A FAMOUS
LANGUAGE SCHOOL.
Gold Medals Of Paris Exposition-S
Nine Hundred Teachers and
10000 Pupils.

OF all the private educational institutions
here the growth Of the Berlitz School OF
Languages has been most remarkable. It
was success from the start. and it was a
success sure to be lasting. Much of this is
due to Professor Gonard. The system is I'M
questionably one of the best; but the best
system in the world would be dismal
failure in incompetent hands.
In no other city of the Union is there
more need of such an institution as the Ber-
litz School than there is in Washington.
New York is cosmopolitan, with a large
foreign population, but the demand for
purity of expression, for absolute accu-
racy In accent is not such as it Is In WASH
ington. Men OF deep learning, scholars In
the full sense of the term, are to be met
here at every turn. A smattering of this
language or that would only hold one up to
ridicule. To this high plane of excellence
Professor Gonard has brought the Berlit1
School.
The first Of these institutions was estab-
lished in 1873 and there are now over 150
branches. scattered all over the world, with
an average of 800 teachers and 10000 pupils.
The Berlitz method was awarded two gold
and two silver medals at the Paris EXPOSE
ton of. 1900, and it's author decorated by
France, Chevalier of Legion of Honor.
The Washington branch is located at 723
14th street northwest, where. under the
management of Prof A. Gonard, more than
800 pupils studied foreign idioms last year,
mostly French, Spanish and German.
Studying a language in the Berlitz School
is not the everlasting and tedious work
which we used to do years ago when trying
to learn French or German; it is pleasure
and a time killer. in spite Of the wonder
fully rapid progress made by the student.
Maurice Normand. the celebrated French
author, writes in illustrations:
1T is proved that Gin the Berlitz Schools)
a person ffty-five years old, very busy, who
devotes, every day, one hour and a half OF
his or her time to the study of modern
language of which he she knows abso-
lutely nothing can acquire, in less than two
months the practical use of a sufficient
vocabulary to correctly converse all
usual subjects. A friend of mine and l have
done 1t.

The German Encyclopedia meyers Con.
Lex.) says:
"The Berlitz method is the systematized
form Of learning a foreign language in q
foreign country by it's actual use"
The superiority of these institutions for
the study of modern languages is well es-
tablished by their excellent reputation and

ing large number of leading Washington
citizens and officials as its patrons. The
name Of Karr has been allied with the
watch and jewelry trade of Washington for
many years. and the reputation of. the
house for probity, fair dealing and general
excellence has been maintained unblemished
during all these years.
Altogether the success Of ]. Karr's Sons
has been achieved through long and con-
tinuous service in the jewelry business. In
which they have maintained through a long
space Of time reputation for the highest
skill In repairing and thorough and ex-
pert knowledge of diamonds. watches and
precious stones.
That the firm will be as successful in its
new quarters as in the old home on the
avenue is certain, for age is a factor in
business, and when age is Joined to a high
reputation for integrity and sound 1udg-
ment, as Is the case here, j. karr's Sons
continued prosperity is assured.

hon a stranger, who, with rare business dis
sernment. saw in the steady and substan-
hal growth of the city splendid field for

was Mr.. Christian Heurich, whose capital
consisted of small amount of money but
with large stock of energy, experience and

ANALYSIS but later, for some reason,
changed his mind and refused to do so.
Well knowing the Justice lof his demand
and feeling himself injured In his busi-
ness and fair name as manufacturer of
a pure and healthful article of beer Mr..
Heurich sought redress for the wrong by
an appeal to Congress. In his petition to
that body he recited that he was the pro-
prietor of the largest brewing establishment
in the city of Washington, and after stat
ing his case in a STRAIGHTFORWARD and busi-
ness-like manner he asked for redress for
his grievance.
The petition resulted in the introduction
in the House of Representative of a resolu-
ton by Representative Romeis of Ohio, call
ing upon the Commissioner of Agriculture
to inform the House ION what grounds, If
any, he refuses said Heurich the informa-
ton demanded by him. The resolution was
referred to the committee on the liquor

The outcome was that Mr.. Heurich Sc

Washington. June 12-Mark II. Evans.
Of Des Moines, iowa. formerly OF the
Thirty-second volunteer infantry, wa
a witness before the senate Philippine
committee today. He testified TO seeing
the water cure administered On four
different occasions in The province of
Batan, also to the burning OF villages
where insurgents were located He also
related incidents where natives were
ducked under the water for half a min
ute at a time to compel them TO tell
where arms were located. With these
exceptions, he said, The treatment OF
the natives by the troops had generally
been kind.
Mr.. Evans said he had been present
at the burning of four or five native viii
lagos and that the de jtruction OF those
places had been due 10 the presence OF
insurgents. The orders were TO de-
stroy all the native huts along the
coast near the mountsins for thirty
miles in Batan province so as to force
the natives to come in and this he said,
was done.

ment was not consistent with humanity
and the laws of wars. He described n
occasion where he mad assisted in
water curing a native. The mans
mouth. he said, was forced open with a
stick and water poured Town his throat.
The effect of the treatment was Tempo

case. he said, the native after receiving
the cure delivered up q number of rifles
and pistols. He had, he said. witness
the burning of q number Of barrios.

Roanoke. Va, June u The officials of
the Norfolk and Western Railroad
Company say the Pocahontas coal field
situation has gradually improved and
h a the outlook for a ina and early
settlement OF the trouble is considera-
bly, brighter. Forty mines out of forty
six are working today. Some Of them
have very small forces. The output
Y sterday was 1s5 cars and today's load
ing will be more. Most of those who
have returned to work are union men.
The mine owners declare the strike is
practically broken and express the be-
lief that all the mines will be operating
by next Monday. The white miners are
remaining on the fields fishing and
hunting and some are doing outside
work for the operators at SIPS a day.
The Clinch Valley and Thacker fields
are working full forces. The Tug River
field, which has been closed, today has
a small force at work. No reports of
violence have been received.
Bluefield, w. Va, June 12.-Regardless
of the statement made by the union
men that not 2 per cent, of the miners
would return to work this morning.
more men are at work today than any
day since the strike began. This is par
TALLY accounted for by the importation
of a hundred or more HungarianS into
the field last night. It is very probable
that from IT'S to 200 cars will be loaded
in his region today. Eighty-ive per
cent. of the men are still out.

On the 18th Of his month the South

These trains have been carrying sleep
erS heretofore, but they nave been

Miss Mittie Lewis has been elected to
a position on the faculty of the Sails

HI A ESTATE,
Injunction Against Removal to New
York State Dissolved.

Waterbury, Conn, June 12.-Judge
Robinson, Of the superior court, has
handed down a decision d~issolving the
injunction which restrained the eXecu-
tors of the Plant will from removing
the ST, 600, 900 trust fund from Connect
lieut. into New York except, that s15,-
900, the amount of a legacy to which
Charles E. Hoadley, of this city, is en-
titled, as representing his children,
must remain in this state, according to
the decision.
Judge Robinson finds that the Hoad-
ley heirs are collateral kindred, being
sons of a half brother of the testator
and as such they have a collateral in
terest in the estate. He does not find,
however, that according to the will they
are in any way interested in h dis
tribution of the 81, 0O0, 900 trust fund in
the event of the deceaSe of the bene-
ficiary mentioned in the will.
