MAKES MARKED PROGRESS.
Golden & Company's Position in Wash
ington Business World.

Few local business houses have had a
more marked growth or hold higher po-
sition in this city today than the firm of
Golden and Company, commission mer-
chants, 922 to 92S Louisiana avenue north
west. Robert A. Golden established the
business in 1862 and in March. 1903, the
firm was Incorporated with the following
directors: Robert A. Golden, president;
William c. Carter, first vice president. a.
y. Chaplin. second vice president; George
p. Sacks, secretary and treasurer; w. 3.
Botsch and ]. Hillman. Today they are
among the largest handlers of butter. eggs,
cheese and poultry south of the city of
New York.
The fresh meat line was added to the al
ready large business about seven years ago,
and the firm has met with marked success
in this department since that time. At the
time of the Incorporation of the company
in 1903 the business of Chaplin & Sacks and
the Hillman Packing Company was alb
sorbed, well that of the Columbia
Packing Company. During the first year
of the enlarged establishments a business
amounting to 81, 900 was handled. This
year ii is expected to exceed that figure by
about 100000.
The firm operates a packing house and
lard refinery in Alexandria county, Va,
and in addition to its close connection with
a large number of western firms has its
own poultry and g-packing plant in Ten
nessee, conducted on the most modern
plans.

Festive Occasion Yesterday at the
Busy Corner.

Strangers in Washington yesterday no
doubt concluded that the girls here were
celebrating some such festive occasion as
"doll day" On all the streets leading to-
ward Kanns Busy Corner, Sth street and
Market space, came girls of all sizes and
conditions and ages, from toddling babes
to misses well up In their teens. They had
all heard of the announcement in The Star
of Friday that Messrs. S. Kann, Sons & Co.
had arranged to gladden. the hearts of II, 900
little misses by presenting them free of
cost with wee, cute stockings for their dear
little dollies.
Therefore they trooped joyously toward
The Busy Corner''-big girls and little
ones; brown girls. white girls black girls;
fat girls and thin ones: tall girls and short
girls, illy-clad and well dressed, but all
smiling and as happy as cherubs. And the
dolls they carried-for each girl had doll,
and some had two and three-were of every
known size, shape, color and description,
from the alley tot. with its one-penny
pigmy doll or rag baby. to the child of
well-to-do parents with it's life-size dolly
of the most costly and elaborate Partisan
make. Wooden dolls and china dolls;
bisque dolls and 'homely rag ones. were in
the procession. which seemed never ending.
The children of the rich touched elbows
with the waits of the other half in the
push which was teeming toward the doll
stocking counter in the toy department of
Kann's. where for while twelve clerks
We're kept busy fitting cute little stockings
to toy limbs of kid, of china, of wood and
of rags.
1t was busy time. and the Messrs. Kann
had the satisfaction of knowing that they
had made happy so many of the little wo-
men of Washington. even If it did cost
them a great outlay of cash.
One of the dolls brought to the store was
placed on exhibition by the Messrs. Kann
during the day and bore the inscription:
"Dollie Lille, London. Born. 1915" 1t is
the property of Virginia Prosse of 1715
North Capitol street. little black pick
aninny presented doll to be fitted that
black tar.
The stockings given away were mina-
lures of the noted Burson goods, that which
will be made a speciality by the Messrs.
Kann for children and women during the
coming fall and winter. They made by
the Burson process, without cutting and
piecing, each stocking being completed be-
fore leaving the machine.

NEW CASES OF TYPHOID
INCREASE OF TEN OVER REPORT
FOR LAST WEEK.

In the typhoid fever situation there was
little change for the better during the past
week. but the number of cases reported Is
still far above the average predicted many
months ago for the time when the effects
of filtration should begin to be felt 1t was
almost at the beginning OF the typhoid fe-
yer outbreak when Health Officer Wood
ward, in an authorized interview, stated
that he would be greatly disappointed II
the fever did not show decrease of at
least 30 per cent within three weeks after
the entire water supply was subjected to Ill
tration The time appointed has now al
most arrived, but the promised signs of de-
crease are almost, if not entirely, lacking.
Typhoid fever is decreasing III a measure,
it is declared. but the din1nution in num-
Der of cases is dscourag ngly gradual, and
every few days there are sudden increases
when 1t would seem that the malady was
regaining all of its malignant vigor. AS
stated in The Star a week ago, there was
a total of twenty-e.ght new cases reported
during the seven days ended October II,
and this commented upon favoraDiy
because it marked the lowest point reached
since early July. During the week ended
with the close of the health office records
last night, however, there were thirty-siX
new cases brought to notice, and this is
the near approach Of the time when typhoid
fever according TO the heath office, should.
be almost an uuknown quantity.
High Average Continues.
When the outbreak of the fever was at
its very worst there were nInety-flve new
cases reported in Cne week. but the average
per week during all of the three months
July, August and September-when cOndi-
tions vevging on an epidemic obtained,
would nos exceed sixty cases According
TO this, the records of the ensuing week, at
the latest, should at some time before neXt
Saturday show sudden drop to less than
one new case per day. 1t has already been
many times explained that typhoid fever
germs multiply within the human system
and give some Indication of their existence
within three weeks of the time of their ab-
sGrptfCn. If the water supply has been
subject to publication for three weeks,
therefore. all persons who drank typhoid
germs with draughts of Potomac water be-
fore that time must either have been
stricken with the disease or else have dem
onstrated their immunity Ever since Oc
oJer the whole of the II 0oo,ool gallons
of water supplied to the District each
twenty-four hours has passed through the
sand purifiers al the filtration plant-and if
the rule just stated obtains in Washington
the water supply should be safe for all nor
nal use this week. If the disease continues
ip its present ratio it is declared that either
the health departments conclusions as to
the value of filtration need revision or
else the prevalence of typhoid fever should
be traced to some other source.
