IN COMMERCIAL LIFE, MEN WHO LEAD IN BUSINESS. ns EXAMPLES OF ENTERPRISE. Sketches of Washingtonians who Have Won Their Way to the Top. MERCHANTS OF THE CITY WHO HAVE TAKEN GOLDEN PRIZES—THE SYORY OF THEIR LIVEs— LESSONS TO BE LEARNED PROM THE CAREERS OF SUCCESSFUL MEN. a While Washington may not boast of being a great commercial center its residents are for- tunate in having im their midst many enter- prising merchants and business men. The People of Washington have come to learn that in the stores of Washington they can find as great a variety of goods, sold at prices as low, as in any city in the country, even in the boasted centers of trade. Washington’s busi- ness men are known to be wide awake and Progressive. In all the changing conditions which have marked the development of the city during the past two decades the business men have always been found in the front ranks and ready to help on with any enterprise giv- ing promise of benefit to the community. They have in pubhe affairs shown the same qualities that have made them successful in the conduct of their private business. Many of them, be- ginning at the foot of the ladder, dependent entirely upon their own exertions, have achieved success by steady application and energy. The sketches given in previous issues of Tur Star of the careers of our by ess men demonstrates what can be accomplished by in- dividual effort when it is backed by an earnest purpose and a clear head. These sketches, too. have given an insight into the business methods that have resulted in the building up ‘on a sound basis of the important commercial institutions of the city, Below will be found brief biograpical sketches of others whose ca- reers afford examples of enterprise and the best business principles. R. C. Lewis & Son. For over a quarter of a century Mr. R. C. Lewis has carried on business in this city. Born in Montgomery county, Md., he served his apprenticeship in the hat business in Frederick county in the same state. He came to this city in 1856, and after service as a clerk in business houses here be launched forth in business for himself. This was in the year 1563. His store was on 7th street. and he con- tinued in business there until about a year ago. eeing an opening for nch store, in Tr, 1886, he opened one at 1421 New R. ¢. LEWIS. York avenue, where h is now located. He closed up the 7th-st e and consolidated his business in the e. He does business under the firm-name C. Lewis & Son, but the younger Mr. Lewis has been obliged to leave the city on account of his health and is now living in the south. Mr. Lewis has served in the city councils. H+ was one of the original members of the Washington Light Infantry and assisted in the Yesganization of the corps in 1871. He is a member of De Molay Commander, Knights Templars, and is a past-master of National Jodge. F. A. A.M. He has advertised his stock of hats and men’s furnishingsin Tue Star for twenty-fiveyears and says thet he has been well repaid. M. & P. Metzger. Millard Metzger is the senior member of the energetic firm of M. & P. Metzger, 417 7th street northwest. Mr. Metzger was born in Poolesville, Montgom- ery county, Md.. and Went west when 4 boy. Returning after a lapse of a few years he en- tered into Lusiness with his brother, Nathan Metzger, at 417 7th street northwest, this city, and upon the de- ceeded to the business. ° Mr. Metzger is well known for his enterprise and as a well-wisher for 4 all movements of public MILLARD METZGER. interest pertaining to the District of Colum- bia, in the growth of which he has great confidence. The firm, through its en- terprise and straightforwardness, has suc- ceeded in establishing a large and growing business. He believes in advertising and that Tue Star is the best medium. Perey Metzger. the other member of the firm of M.& 1! Metzger, has lived in Wash- ington since boyhood. coming here from Poolesville, Montgom- y. his parents resided. H entered upon the gr cery business tively engaged in it for a number of years, be coming an expert in the handling of teas and coffees, in which they are large dealers,as well as all other branches of the grocery business. Mr. Metager has a lar; aumber of acquainances who are attached to + him on account of his ER. many good personal old him in high esteem as an active and correct business ma: id he isa great advocate of advertising in Tae Stan. The members of the firm are classed among the live grocerymen of Washington. House & Herrmann. Those people who are continually on the Jookout for bargains ia the way of housefur- nishings have all heard or read of the firm of House & Herrmann. It is one of the most ac- tive and successful bus- iness combinations op- erating in the northern part of the city. Four Years ago, at 923 7th street, the partners commenced business, but the rush of trade ‘Was 0 great that in six months they had also to occupy the adjoi ing house, No. 921. ear ago found thew ju as badly pushed * lor space as ever and they had to add 636 : g jassachusetts avenue G.

In their es- tablishment can be found an immense as- sortment of furniture. carpets, and generally Useful and ornamental housebold articles, but the terms on which these articles can be’ pur- chased is often more of a magnet than the at- tractive furniture. Honse & Herrmann’s buai- ness is conducted largely on the installment plan. Thousands of housekeepers have been made happy id their homes beantiful and comfortable by the operation of this system. year House & Herrmann saw un oppor- tunity to enlarge their business, so they started an immense store in Wheeling. W. Va.. and they are already recog- nized as leaders in the furniture and carpet trade there. The busi- ness there is conducted — the same equita- ble plan which has al- ways been the distinc- partners, G. E. House and J. Ph. Herr- mann.are Baltimoreans, Neither of them have uite reached the thir- } mile-stone in life, and both of them are firm believers in the . value of judicious ad- vertising. To a liberal use of printers’ ink they attribute a great deal of their success, and the returns from the money invested in the columns of Tae Sram, they say, have been ‘most gratifying. Pu. HERRMANN.

The firm consists of four members—Isaac Hamburger, the senior member, and his sons Samuel I, Manes and Lavra! B ge Manes Hamburger, the repre- sentative of the Wash- ington house, first saw the light in Balitimore, in 1857. He was edu- cated at the public schools in that city and at the age of sev- enteen was employed in his father’s store as clerk. By close appli- cation to business he soon rose im the esti- mation of those he came in contact with, and as a reward for his energy was tuken into the firm at the age of twenty-one and sent to Wash- ington to take charge of the store here. This store was established in 1875, at 615 Pennsyl- yania avenue. By reason of a largely increas- ing business the establishment was moved a few months ago to the larger store, 621 Penn- sylvania avenue, which it now occupies. The specialty of the house is the manufacture of clothing, it having a large custom trade as well as being engaged extensively in the sale of ready-made clothing. located at 122 East Their manufactory is Baltimore street. All’ of the members of the firm realize the advantages of judicious advertisi ig, and Tue Stan been the medium to bring their goods to pub- lic notice, Robert A. Phillips. Robert A.

He favors the restoration of the original boundaries of the District of Columbia, to i clude what is now known as Alexandria county, Va. His ventures for himself and his clients in real estate in this city have been very suc- cessful, and by his fidelity to the interests of his patrons and to all interests entrusted to his care and management he has won the confi- dence which is essential to success in the real estate business. He attributes much of his suc- cess to advertising in the columns of Tur Eveyixe Srar. Hugo Worch.

A large amount of money was disbursed in Johnstown yesterday by the payments of the employes of the Gautier and Cambria com- Panies, and also by the payments of the wages of the laborers who had been employed on the work of clearing away the debris. The First national bank and the Savings bank will open to-day and resume payment. While the people are beginning to get in a position where they can help to support themselves, there are, a8 yet, but few places where they can purchase anything. As soon, as the stores are opened they will, no doubt, plenty of customers. A CALL FOR HELP. The effect of the-flood is beginning to tell sorely upon outlying towns. For a time aid from the surrounding agricultural districts has been given them, but there are many in need. Yesterday the burgess and several of the lead- ing citizens of South Fork sent word to Gen. Hastings that they were in need of food and clothing. He at once sent an aide with an abund- ance of both to the town, and will continue to supply it and other towns till assistance shall no wea bed be needed. One hundred portable houses are e: ted to- day and scores of carpenters, under direc- tion of W. V. Hughes, of Pittsburg, master carpenter, will immediately go to work placing them on their foundations. Gonday the scores of carpenters will be increased to hundreds, and the utmost expedition will be used in order to induce people to domesticate themselves and become civil factors again. The plan of erec- tion is simplicity itse! The houses will arrive on cars at the Johnstown station. The cars will be run onto sidings and from them the houses will be loaded into huge wagons, which will take them to the sites selected for them. The matter of sites has been already eee. ar- ranged by the citizens’ committee, which has been very busy for several days in receiving and passing upon applications, and the ncces- sity of discrimination in the matter of awards has been exhaustively considered. A few mis- takes may be made in the early stages of build- ing, but the committee knows to a man who should be taken care of. Dissatisfaction with awards has been discounted in advance. The buildings must go up; this is imperative, and before the end of July those who are now the most clamorous will be the most ashamed of themselves, SANITARY RESTRICTIONS, The houses will be erected after the most ap- proved sanitary principles. Dr. Lee, of the state board of health, was directed by Gen. Hastings to look into this matter, and he has been doing it. He summarizes his recom- mendations as follows: The state board of health considers it inex- pedient, from a sanitary point of view, to place these houses ny of the following districts atthe present time: The flooded districts of Johnstown, including Hornerstown and Cone- maugh borough; Kernville, in the sections bounded as follows: both sides of Morris street from its origin at Cobaugh’s to South street, out South to Napoleon, down Napoleon to Dibet, out Dibet to foot of hill, along hill to river, and along river to place of starting; Woodvale, between the tracks and the hillside on the north; East Conemaugh, the immediate neighborhood of the railroad and the camp of the railroad employes; districts below the stone bridge. Our inspectors for these districts have not reported on this subject, but as soon as they do so the board will furnish the desired information. It will be understood that these recommendations refer to the present time and that in the course of a week the situation at certain points may be materially altered. W. V. Hughes, master carpenter, to-day began work upon the erection of 100 two-story frame business houses on the public square of Johnstown withea large force of carpenters, This force will be increased to several hundred next week and by the Ist of July a goodly num- ber of the houses will be ready for their tenants, As soon asthe houses are in shape for their purposes a committee appointed by the council will take charge of them and by lot distribute them among the business men who wieh to re-establish themselves and to grow up again with the revivified city. It has already developed that not a few men with means from other points are willing to invest their money in Johnstown, and their applications must be considered with the others, This phase of things has been a source of great pride and comfort to the old residents. Johnstown has been prosperous, and the peroeny is thought to be only an intimation of what its future will be. Cyrus Elder, James McMillan, Col. Mox- ham, Col, Linton and others of the substantial people of the city think they see within the next five years in Johnstown « city that will rank next oaly to Pittsburg in “population and commercial importance in western Penn- sylvania, TWENTY-SEVEN BODIES FOUND, The bodies of twenty-seven persons were taken from various places in the wreck by the workingmen yesterday. Ina cellar of a house near the Presbyterian church a family of six persons was discovered, the husband and wife clasped in each others’ arms and the little ones lying near them. All were too much decom- posed to be identified Among the bodies identified was that of Miss Bentford, whose identity was discovered by two plain gold ring one of which had the word “Sister” in- side. Henry Pritchard, of Johnstown, was taken out of the drift. Miss Mary Benford was also taken from the gorge, as was the body of L. J.

Three Dead Bodies Taken From a Fire- works Factory—Three Others Dying. A disastrous fire, accompanied by loss of life, occurred in Boston last evening in the fire- works establishment of Heyer Bros., corner Sumner and Hawley streets. Three dead bodies have been taken from the ruins and three others received injuries which will prob- ably result fatally. It is feared that there may be more victims among the debris, Shortly after 5 o'clock, while a salesman was waiting upon a customer upon the second floor he saw a flash among some fireworks behind one of the counters, unaccompanied, however, by any explosion. The flames'shot with almost incredible rapidity, cutting off the escape of several of the men in the upper stories, and within five minutes the dense smoke filled the building, accompanied by almost incessant dis- charge of fireworks of different kinds, Edward Heyer, one of the firm, ran to the stairs shouting fire, and then turned back to lock the safe, but found the way choked with smoke, He groped his way to the window and managed to elimb to an adjoining building un- hurt. Charles Albert Gage, aged twenty, who was employed in the third story, hung from a window until he was obliged to release his hold, and will probably die.

Heroes Who, Like Father Damien, Give Their Lives to a Self-denying Task. ‘To the Editor of Taz Evextxe Stan: A great deal is being said at this time in the papers about the loathsome lepers, and es- pecially of those in Molokai, to whom the late Father Damien gave the last years ¢-{ his life. So much has been said of this humane and self- denying priest that the impression is likely to be given that he stood and his successor stands alone in ministering to these miserable crea- tures. In the cause of truth and humanity it will be of interest to your many readers to know there are others who, like Father Damien, are willingly ‘‘spending and being spent” in the service of these greatly-afflicted people. I compile the following from church periodicals of current dates: The Rev. Dr. Macduff, a Protestant clergy- man, several years ago wrote about the lepers outside the Jaffa gate at Jerusalem, where they were nursed by Protestant Epi Moravian church people, ‘These are part of Dr. Macduff's words: “Of all ‘doleful memories the present writer has of a visit to God's ancient city the most dolorous, indeed the most horrible and repellant, is that of the eretes of these out- casts, seated nigh to the Jaffa gate; their hideous appearance and croaking, ' stifled appeals for succor—a living death and a livii grave, Now, two miles outside this princi, entrance, has been built, under the auspices of the Moravian church, a leper home—a ‘house of mercy’—where these pitiable objects are ss waited upon, nursed and tended by e same devoted brotherhood and sisterhood— the suffering of their suffering frames soothed and alleviated; their souls comforted and sus- tained with the gracious words and promises of Him who Himself was ‘stricken, smitten of God and afilicted.’” At this very time four Moravian Protestant Episcopalians are consecrating their lives to this work at Jerusalem. Of them and their noble work the Rev. Mr. Chichester (rector of the Church of England, — of Wolton, Surry, England), writes: ‘‘In Robben Island, near the entrance of Table bay, Cape Town, the government, in the year 1846. built an hospital and infirmary for lepers and other patients. In 1860 the government expressed a desire that a competent teacher should be sent out to take charge of the schools. Accordingly Brother John Taylor, son of an esteemed missionary (and himself lame of his feet from his youth), left his widowed mother and relatives and home comforts, and gree oe followed the call of the Lord to this desolated island of lepers and lunatics. Writing home, he says: ‘Three days a week I keep school to about fifty lepers, chronic sick, and Bind patients, and we read the Dutch Bible and hymn-book. They are very attentive and eager to profit. Poor creatures, some of them are dreadfully disfigured by lep- rosy, and at times the effluvium is intolerable.’ For five years this earnest young brother con- tinued his labor, till he was called to his eternal rest on May 27, 1866, and his remains rest in the shade of the little church in Robben Island.” I should add that in the lepers’ hospital out- side the walls of Jerusalem deaconesses from the German Protestant religious houses have given themselves to nurse and minister. ‘Year after year these heroic women,” as remarks @ leading current journal, “without pretentious- ness, without any trumpeting of their work, almost unknown to the world, have waited upon lepers while themselves literally dying by inches. Their courage and constancy have only come to light by the chance notice of trav- elers, but doubtless their names, unknown on earth, are written in the Lamb's book of life.” All honor to Father Damien, the Roman Catholic priest, but none the less honor to the equally faithful, equally sympathetic, heroic, and self-sacrificing Protestant Episcopal Mora- vians and to the Protestant teacher, John Tay- lor, who labored and died and was buried among the lepers of Robben Island.

The schooner Baltic, of Provincetown, Cap- tain Joseph Fisher, arrived at New Bedford, Mass., yesterday, from an Atlantic ocean whal- ing voyage. Captain Fisher had a thrilling ex- perience last May, while at Sam Bay, San Do- mingo, where he put in for water. He visited the bay February 6, and was boarded by the officer of the fort, a general, who came on board with soldiers and inspected the vessel. Captain Fisher said he was going whaling, and the general gave him permission to get wood and water as long as he stayed in that vicinity. On the 13th of May the schooner again visited the watering place. At 6 o’clock in the evening five soldiers, under command of an officer, came down and fired ten or fifteen shots at the schooner. They were armed with good Amer- ican rifles. i When the first shot was fired Capt. Fisher was aft with the officers, and all handa but the steward were on deck. The first shot just cleared the captain’s head, passing a foot above him, The next two went forward among the crew standiug on the windlass bits. They pussed close to two seamen, With the bullets lying. the captain had no opportunity to show the American flag. The soldicrs ou shore kept firing, and Capt. Fisher ordered all hands be- low and went himself. When the soldiers found no one on deck, they fired into the ves- sel, hitting the copper cooler near the fore- mast, the bullets going through it. It was so late when the firing stopped that Capt. Fisher did not dare go ashore, for fear he would be shot in the dark. The nextday he went ashore and demanded an explanation, The officials gave him no satisfactory answer, saying they thought the vessel was a Spanish smuggler; but as Spanish vessels thereabouts carry no boats on the side, he resolved to seek a higher authority, Accordiugly, on May 16 fe went to Grudjua, 8 miles to the westward. and sought an ixter- view with Gen. Pappoo, who ordered a boat und went down that evening with police offi- cials, and, after paying the scuoouer a visit, arrested the five soldiers, They were arraigned and tried. Three days after Gen, Pappoo re- leased them, giving as his reason to Capt. Fisher that he found that they did not kill any eisalack of discipline about the d the Americans attribute the at- tack to liquor. A complaint against the Hay- tien goverument will be sent to Secretary Biaine by Capt. Fisher. The men who did the firing were Haytiens, GEN. CAMERON’S CONDITION, No Hope Entertained of His Recovery * by His Physicians. Yesterday was a day of anxious watching and suspense at Donegal farm. Gen. Simon Cam- eron laid in a semi-unconscious condition, sur- rounded by his family and the physicians, who can hold out no hope to them. Mr. and Mrs, Wayne MacVeagh, Mrs. Haldeman, James Cameron, son of Senator Don Cameron, and Simon B. Cameron, another grandson, who lives at Donegal farm, are constantly at the dying veteran's bedside. Early in the day he seemed to recognize his daughters, but late in the af- ternoon all signs of recognition had vanished and the doctors then notified the family that the end might come at any moment. The general's great vitality wight sustain life for a time, but life could not iast long.
