THE BEST OF ALL
The Most Attractive Establishment
in Washington.
That the block occupying the north side
ofPeiinsjlvania avenue, between Ninth anil
Tenth streets, is tobecome,. or hasalreidy
become, the Icailing anil most important
business block in the city or Washington
Is evidenced by the fact that the very high
est grades, of store anel business houses
mrc locating there-
One of the most prominent houses that
liave newly opened here Js the Emerson
Shoe Store, It. B. Grover & Co , formerly
at 110.1 Pennsylvania avenue-
For a long time liast builders, carpenters,
masons, and expert artisans have been con
verting the building Into a rittlug home ror
the Washington branch of the greatest shoe
concern in the Uniti-d States- When the al
terations were coniple-ted artists anil deco
Tateirs and mosaic workers converted the
place into a perfect dream or beauty.
From its exquisitely painted steel ceilings
toils mosaic floor, its polished oak walls, its
cozy nooks and corners, its handsome fire
place, its magnificent bent French plater
Class chow -window, its beautiful trans
parent entrance door. It .is complete In
very detail.
It is with the knowledge that they have
equipped for their Washington pqlrons the
finest shoe store in the country, and with
Justifiable pride, that the proprietors
opened their superb place to the public
to-day.
The Emerson concern owns no less than
twenty-seven retail stores throughout the
country, in addition to their immense fac
tories in Massachusetts.
The .Emerson shoes ranee In price from
93 to. $7, and the lowest priced shoes are
very high grade productions, both in qual
ity and sill.

The attack of Dr. William II. Cook, of
Culi ago, publMied in ye-stcnlaj'a Morn
ing Times, upon nnti-toxlne, In which he
says that It Is responsible for a great
many eases of bloexl poisoning, meets
with gcniT.il disapproval among the phj si
clans or this eity.
It is quite true that In some tasis sudden
death has followed the use nf anti-tox-ine,
but the phvsiclans claim that a was
not due to Hie serum, but to some poison
ous toslc which had entered the fluid
after it was prepared.
Another way it might lie acenunteel ror
Is that irresponsible perseios are making
anil putting on the market an atill-lolne
which Is prepared bj them without the
usual precautions iniplojeel b the recog
nized inn ken e.r the new rtlM-ovc-ry. It
may be the ease In Chicago that some one
is making the Hind, like Hie in in with the
iweniv-nvetent razors, "to se'il."
- In a -null Minthern town on e-very court
el.ij a l.lklr would come to the town, and,
after lxirrowlng a large dr.v-goin box.
would lake his stand on it mill begin to
declaim the .iilvaut.ige-s of his wares in .i
louel olre.
It happened one iliy that he had some
razors to sell, and in onle-r to make It an
inducement to buy he would throw in a
pair of s'cks, siv or e-ighl handke-rehiers,.
a peicketbook and several otln-r email ar
ticlesall ror the sum or tweotj-five cents.
Finally an old countryman stepped up
and bought a hunch. The pure haer then
de'pnrte-d, and on the next court elay the
rakir agiln made his appearance". He be
gan to extol the beauty of his things,
when up ivalkesl his customer of a pre
vious sale and began to abuse him, call
ing him a elieat. fraud am liar.
NOT MADE roll THAT iyjltFOSE.
"This razor won't sliavc," howled the
warmer.
"Who wild it would," retorteel the fakir.
"Those razors were niaele to sell. The-y
were not maele to shave."
That is probably the wav with Dr.
Cook's nnti-toxtne He probably got some
thai was made to sell anil not to cure.
It ean reailily be senui w hat an injury could
be elone any standard elrug if irresjionsible
partii-s began the prnniKi nous manufacture
of It. Of course Iheeloetor woulel not know
whether It was good or not.
He would gel it fremi the ilruggist anil
that is all there is to It. But s there
are only a few antitoMiie mnmifaetoricH
in the i-oul try it would tie' .1 e-enipiratlvilv
easv thing ror eveu a Chicago phjsician
to ostnin the genuine artlele.
Among the v e'ry prominent physicians In-
terviewcel by The Tiiiicd reporter to-d.iy
reg-irdhig the number of cases they hail,
or had he-.irel or, we re the rollowiiig:
Dr. Wither W3m.n1, surgeon Kueral of
the Jlirine Hospital Corp "1 have nev
er heanl of .1 eae of Mood petisoniiig as a
result of the 11-e of .111(1 toxine. We had
about the M-coiiel horse eve'r iiioeuliteri In
this e-ountry, and we shlppeil the serum
of our own culture through the siTViei-,
and alo sent out a great many s.liejiles
to physic! ins to ti-sl anil so fnr have
hid the most gratifing results from it.
"I have never ce;ii he aril of a ease
where It was charged that nnli-loine
was the cause of blood puKonlng. I can
see, theicgliT how it might oe-cur. Impure
serum, or a dirty ne'e-die that was useel
for injecting the srrum, might e-aue blooel
poisoning, but I have never lean I r 11."
Dr. Henry Krogslad, a homeopathic phy
sician, and one of the- plijsicians who at
teudiil Secretary Gresuani in his last ill
ness "I have never had a ease in my own
practice where I used anil toxine, but In
di.scusins Ihc remedy I have never heard
it chargeel that it was the result of blood
poisoning."
Dr. Samuel C. Busey: "I do not know of
any cases where anil toxine caused blood
poisoning. There have been a few cases of
sudden death after its use, but they were
all too sudden for blood iioisonlrg."
HEALTH OFFICE OPINION.
It is tlio opinion or the District health
officials that the antl toxine remedy, as ob
tained and dispensed here, may lie em-
plojeel wiih the utmost safety in the treat
ment or diphtheria, notwithstanding llr
Cook, of Chicago.
The item In The Morning Times giving
Dr. Cook's views ivas called to the atten
tion of the health orfice to elay, and In the
absence or Br. Woodwarel Chief Clerk 11c-
Clane and Ur. Fowler both staled that tho
serum has been in ue quite extensively by
local physicians with what appears to have
been excellent results.
"The serum," Dr. Fowler said, 'Is ob
tained bj the Marine Hospital hen Ice. The
horses are first carefully examined as to
Ihelr physical coiutltlon, and such onlv as
arcabsolutelv sound are employed. Ihave
heard nothing against the use of the serum,
ami should not hesitate for a moment to
implo) tho remedy in mj own family.
"There is sometimes a species or hives,
known as ulicaria.'tliat develops, lam in
formed, nrtcrtbeserum is administered, but
it is nn incident of 110 momint. The erup
tion. If it ma j be called such, proeluces an
itching, but it is not troublesome. I should
suppose also that it ivill bring any humor
of the blood to the surface, and that if
scrofula is in Ihc system it might lie made
to iiiauircst itself, but unless tins Dr. Cook
can produce statistics to hack up his as
sertion I shall be disposed to place but
little confide nee In his opinion."

the well known pastor of Calvary Baptist
Church, at his residence. No. 1320 Q street
northwest, last night.
The object of the reception, the imita
tion stated, was for the purpeeof meeting
a prominent educator. Strange to say,
however, Mr. Greene, who was to be the host
on this occasion, was not notified of the
preparations which had been made, and
was very much Rtirpnc-d when one of the
cleverly gotten up cards fell into his hands.
The pastor had made other arrangements
for the evening, and notwithstanding the
disappointment that woulel be caused by
bis refusal to entertain such a sele-ct com

effect. He even went further than that,
and named the imitations as fraudulent.

FLATS CASE REVIEWED.
Tlie re-port on the Potomac Flats com
mittee was then reael.
Mr. C. C. Glover, chairman of this special
committee, after congratulating the board
anel the1 community 011 the result of the
re-cent I'olenn.ic Flats e-ase, now on appitti,
suggcste-el that Congress be akeel to pas
the follenving:
"Resolveel, That the entire aresi known
as tlie Potomac Flats, anel now lielng
reclaimed, together with the tidal reser
voirs, lw and the same are hereby made
and de-elared a public park, under the name
of the Riverslele Park, ami to be forever
held and used as a park for the recreation
and pleasure of the people."
The committee rurther recommends
that efrorts be maele by the board to re
claim the Eastern Branch Flats anil to es
tablish there a similar park.
Tlie riport of the committee, of which
Mr- Ross Perry is chairman, was receivtd;
and the resolutions suggested, adopte-d, 011
motion of Mr. Church.
The i-ommittce on telephone rates re
ported that it had conferred with Mr.
8. M. Bryan, president of tho Chesapeake
and Potomai: Telephone Company, and
found that the rates could not be any
cheaper than at present, because upon the
reorganization or the e-ompany some years
ago, it was e-ompelled to pay a sum that
has made neevssary a capitalization of
between two and three million dollars,
and for the further reasein of the expendi
ture of large sums in construction and
equipment.
This committee recommends that there
shall not be more than one telephone com
pany In the city. The report was handed
in by Mr. R. Goldsebmid. ils chairman.
COMMITTEE WAS SILENT.
Mr. J. H. Italston presented the reiort
of the special committee on gas lights and
electric lights. The first part of the re
port included the resolution under which the
committee was requested to determine
whether such lights could be furnished at
a i-beapcr cost than at present, sit con
tained further a vast amount uf informa
tion as to the exist and price of gas and
clee trie-lights in other cities and whatever
facts could bo obtained from the companies
of this city and Georgetown.
Mr. Ralston stated that he had not been
able to get a majority of the i-ommlttee
together, nor had any of them signed the
report. He had written to them to sign
it, but they had not responded. The
members of the j.-ommittee arc Maj. Haines,
John Spier, Mr. Carver, Mr. Hazelton, Mr.
Sands and Mr. Heaston.
Only three of tne committee had ever
been present at a tallcel meeting. Mr.
Ralston's report covered the grounel com
pletely. He compareel the cost to the
citizens of gas and other lights in cities
under private nnd municipal ownership,
in favor of the latter. He! reviewed
the grounds on which the Washington Gas
light Company malntaini-el its high price,
anil showed that they were fallacies and
especially as to the ceSst of coal anel their
advantage in using water gas in part.
He referred to tlie enormous capitaliza
tion of the company, the watering of the
stock, and the payment of hundreds of
thousands of dollars on fictitious stock
value-s; anil final lyshoweel that theimmense
property was assessed at only 32 per ceut.
of its real value. He then took up the
Georgetown company anel the electric light
company, and showed that of the former
the assessed value was a little moro than
50 par cent, and of the latter about 5 per
cent. As an argument that the companies
had no reason to maintain their high prices,
it was complete, and its conclusion was
recelv eel with great applause .'
Mr. Ralston said that 1m assumed the
whole responsibility of the report and
suggested, which was agreeel to, that it
being a matter of grave Importance, the
discussion go over to a subsequent meeting.
DISTRICT CIVIL SERVICE.
Mr. John Joy Edson presented a report
reciting the efforts of the board to have
civil service rules adopted nnd promulgated
for the District of Columbia.

rert of Mr. Frank-Hume. He-said that the
subject was not a new one aneiui-cled no
introduction to the board.
Mr. Lambert followed. He said that the
subject was one1 the importance of which
could not lie evnggerateel. 'While it elld
not come within tho power of the- lioard to
deal directly with the railroads, it could
inform Congress that It could not forget
what It owe-d to tho people in this rela
tion. No city in tlie land is like ours and
there can be no companion vv ith others.

not cemie within the scope or the present
discussion.
DELAT AND DEFEAT.
Failure last jcar to obtain n-elre-ss was
due to opposition by the II. anil O., which
had a bill introeluceel, the effect eif whicli
was delay anel defeat.
He showed that the B. & O. intersects
twenty-five streets, and the II. &. r.
twent -seven.
He suggesteel that the grade crossings
could be abolisheel by a candid and oiwn
conference with the railroads, a scheme
satisfactory to them and the people.
Mr. Frlrzell sale! that It was useless to
repeat ancient history, for the tlmejliad

culties the Northe-ast Assoeiatlon had in
petting at the Congressional i-oiumlttees.
The Baltimore and Ohio had set up the
elaim that they had vested rights which
even Congress could not interfere with.
One i-onimittee of the Iltuise went out lo
look at the situation, and it was their
opinion that It would-uot be tolerated In

The company asked for lime-to float
about $15,000,000 in bonds and thenlhey
would accede. But they have never re
deemed their promises. It Is understood,
how ever, that the company is now moving
in that direction and is about toagrce to the
present Senate bill, 5GB6.
Mr. Tucker, president of the- Northeast
Washington Citizens' Association, devoted
his time largely to a description of the
.reposed depot and viaduct for the Bal
timore and Ohio, whicli. If reallze.1. wontri

ADOPTED A RESOLUTION.
The following resolution, prepareel by
Dr. Ritchie, was unanimously passcel:
"Whereas, The continued location of
steam railroad tracks within the City of
Washington nt the existing grade or the
several streets, wherein they are con
structed, is fraught witli hurcasing menace
10 iue mes. me limbs, and the property
of the inhabitants, and
" iVhereas, Besides the peril lo life and
limb, there Is Involved in tlie continuance
of such location constant and serious loss
to the business community from hindrance
of traffic and delays in the transportation
of merchandise over streets so injuriously
occupied; and
11 Whereas, In the estimation of the Board
of Trade, the needs and development of the
City of Washington, no less than the will
of its constituents, the entire people of
the Cniteel States who are in the highest
sense citizens of the Natlon'sJCapltal
demand the abolition of the grade crossing
and its attendant casualties, homicides,
and losses. Therefore be it
"Resolved, That the committee on steam
railroads be, and they are hereby instructed
to prepare for submission to the board,
at a meeting to be called hereafter for
the purpose, a plan or project looking
to the speedy and effectual abolition of
grades, and to the revocation or existing
sceam railroad tracks within the city
or Washington, and to the consequent aboli
tion of grade crossings, with tho view
of securing appropriate legislation on the
subject at the coming session of Congress."
Adopted.
Letters were read from agents of the
Baltimore and Potomac and Baltimore
and Ohio Railroads, who were inv Red to
be present", stating the reason why they
could not attend.
