Quoted a retail business.
After year or SO in this location the
trade of the store grew to such an extent
that Mr.. Moses moved to the corner of 7th
street and Pennsylvania avenue.
Twenty years in this location, during
which the plant was enlarged and stock
extended from time to time, convinced Mr.
Moses that as the business grew he would
seek a better location and one which he
believed was more adapted to the trade of
Washington in the years that were to come.
After studying the situation for a time he
decided that F street was an admirable To-
cation, and In 1882 he purchased a large lot
at the corner of + and 18th streets and
later erected the big building which was
added to this year.
In 1881 Mr.. Moses took his son, William
Henderson Moses, into the firm. and when
the business was moved into the new quar-
tiers at at 18th and F streets the firm name
of w. B. Moses & Son first came before
the eyes of the Washington public.

firm increased, and as the years have passed

of the establishment has been amply proven

establishment. they. with Mr.. William Hen
derson Moses, who had been a member Of
the firm for number of years, assumed
the responsibility of the business.
The progressive policy of the father was
continued by the sons, and as the years
have passed the house has gone steadily
forward in the commercial world and today
stands high in every section.
Mr.. William Henderson Moses has always
taken great interest In the city of Wash
ington. Receiving a part OF his education
in the District Of Columbia, he later went
to Europe to pursue further study. While
abroad he spent time in travel and inquired
into the methods of business on the other
side of the water. When he reached his
ajority his father took him into the bust
ness. He Is member of the Board of
Trade and is prominent in social and busi-
ness circles.
his later education abroad, and after re-
turning to this city entered Columbian Col
lege, now George Washington University.
where he studied short time before being
taken into his fathers business as a part

Mr. Arthur c. Moses. the youngest MEM

The business of the firm in 1859 was sold

where he entered the wholesale and retail

Monkey and fcnneumon Living To-
gether in London on the Most
Friendly Terms.

A somewhat unusual sight may
at present be witnessed at the
London geological gardens, where
a monkey and an ichneumon are
living together on the most friend
Iy terms. The monkey is a Ruep
pels colobus from northeastern
Africa, and the ichneumon be.
longs to the species Herpestes
a%lbicauda) widely known in Africa
under the name of the white.tailed
mOngOose. This most interesting
animal ranges from Abyssinia to
Natal, besides being found in GER
tain districts of West Africa. "
is a large species, easily distin-
guished by the pure white hairs at
the end of its tail. The prevailing
color of its fur is dark gray; ow-
ing to many of the hairs being
ringed with black and white, the
fur has a speckled appearance.
The colobus monkeys are exceed
ingly handsome creatures, and
may be seen in the zoo from time to
time; but, owing to their delicate
constitution, they seldom live long
in this country. The headquar-
ters of this group, the members of
which have no thumbs, are in West
Africa, but the present species is
found in Abyssinia. 1t is covered
for the most part with shining
black hair, but on the TANKS is a
mass of pure white hair. which
forms a sort of mantle. Its dark
face is encircled by a fringe of
snowy white hair. and its enor.
mOusly long tail ends in a white
tuft. This interesting pair has
been lodged in the sloths' house.
