It would be difficult to recei more em- tic illustration of the truth of the saying, jerit wins success,” than is evidenced in the position and popularity achieved by thatarticle of footwear known as the “Crawford shoe.” It is only about five years since the Crawford shoe was first introduced to the public and then im s comparatively small way. It was a new end unique idea to establish a factory for the exclusive manufecture of one particular kind of a shoe and then establish stores where only ‘that particular shoe should be sold: that the ‘wearer of the shoe should purchase only from the maker and that the profits that usuaily ac- etue to tLe wholesaler and the jobber should be put into the value of the shoe and yet be af- .d to the consumer at a less price than is generally charged. To make aes en rise am success re- quired in ite projectors a thorough knowledge Of the business, bucked up by capital and push. ‘That the Bouve, Crawford Company, the firm style under which the Crawford shoo is manu- factured, possessed these requisites m an emi- nent degree in evidenced by the success which has attended them. They have now in Brock- ton a large factors, empioying a large number of skilled workmen exclusively in the manu- facture of their shoes, and in the leading cities of the United States have twenty first-class stores for their exclusive sale and from which are retailed more gentlemen's fine shoes than of any other manufacture in the work!. ‘Sole mere particular in the special features, wherein the Crawford shoe has won its strong held upon popular favor, we may say it isa shoe that is me to fit the foot instead of fit- ‘the foot to the shoe; it is made on five nt ed lasts; it is made in sizes and half sizes, and is just as easy when first put on as when ‘worn longer; alw: ‘ old shoe.” Instyle and finish it is empbati- cally the gentleman's shoe. Tis price, too, is another strong lever that bas ‘been used. A Crawford shoe that retails at one of their stores for $4 is the equal in every way, fo style, nish and material, of any slice for which $7 and @10 is charged. ‘Tax Wortp Wottp Sax—and the world is right in saying—that for blind, bleeding, itch- oF protading piles, Betton’s Infaluble Pile ve, price 50 cents. is the greatest cure ever discovered.

THE CASE COVERED COMPLETELY AND PROVISION MADE IX THE BILL PROM THE SENATE DISTRICT COMMITTEE To CARRY OUT THE PAVING OF THE CITY STREETS AND AVENUES IN THE COUNTY. Every resident who is materially concerned as to Washington and its environs read with interest in yesterday's Stax of the report made by Senator Harris from the Senate District committee on the bill to extend the streets and avenues of the city. The report was a lengthy one, covering the case completely. Portions of it, not up to this time made public, may also be interesting. The evil which this act was intended to remedy, saysthe committee, was that various persons owning land lying on or near the boundary of the city of Washington had, from time to time, recorded in the surveyor's office subdivisions which did not harmonize with each other, and in most mstances did not con- form with the plan of the city. The plan of the city itself had been inid out under the direction of President Washington with great care and on » grand scale—such as was suitable to the capital of a great nation. ‘There was no occasion to provide for city streets beyand the boundary until about the year 1965, when the city of Washington began to extend beyond the limps marked out for it on the plan adopted by President Washington. From that time until the passage of the above mentioned act of 1883 euch land owner laid out the streets upon bis property to suit himself. AN UNPLEASANT RESULT. The result was that the city proper was in danger of being surrounded by struggling vil- lages with a labyrinth of streets, narrower, in general, than those in the city, in many in- stances even not conforming to’ cach ciher. Had there Leen at this time in existence a map upon which the streets of the city were pro- jected through these lands the land owners would no doubt have adopted the stree:_ ‘-id down on such map, but as there was no guide for them to fcllow each man did what secmed to himself most to his own interest. And worse than this the principal avenues of the city have not been extended because no single land owner was prepared to donate to the pablic the Jarge proportion of his laud which would be required in the projection of such avenuesin pursuance of general regulations prescribed by the Commisioners, which re- quired that they should conform with the gen- eral plan of the city. IRREGULAR SUBDIVISIONS. In many instances this has resulted in re- quiring owners of Jand lying some little dis- tance from the city to so subdivide their land that the stroets thereon will be on the line of the extension of city streets, but which will not connect with the streets of the city because of some intervening subdivision made prior to the passage of such act and not conforming to the plan of the city. In other cases the land owner has been required to lay out his street of the same width as the corresponding street in the city, while between him and the city the street is narrower than he has been required to make it where it passes through his laud, Furthermore, as the question whether a cer- tain subdivision is “in conformity with the general plan of the city” is a matter requiring the exercise of judgment, and as subdivisions under the act of 1888 are ‘approved from time to time during the course of years, and the same Commissioners are not in office all the time, subdivisions are scattered around through the District, each one of which has been held by the proper authorities to be in confermity with the general plan of the ci but which do not in all cases conform w: each other. A lateral street in one part of the District, when projected, will not strike the corresponding lateral street some distance away. DEFLECTIONS SOMETIMES NECESSARY. So it is frequently advisable to deflect one or more streets or avenues, as was done in the original plan of the city proper; but it is man- ifestly impossible in recording scattered subdi- visions at different times to make such de- flections so as to make them correspond with each other and unite them all in a harmonious whole. ‘The provisions of the bill may be easily un- derstood, the mtent of the measure being ex- plained in the report. PROVISIONS OF THE BILL Sections 1 and 2 require the Commissioners of the District to prepare a plan for the exten- sion of the city over the entire District, this plan to be prepared in sections from time to time and each map to be submitted to a com- mission composed of the Secretary of War, the Secretary of the Interior and the chief of en- gineers, who are given power to modify it. ‘The map of each section, as finally approved by this commission, is to be recorded in the office of the surveyor of the District, and the record- ing of any subdivision of land within the area covered by any such map after the map shall have been so recorded, except upon a plan ap- proved by the Commissioners and conforming to the map, is prohibited by section 3. Section 2 also contains a provision authoriz- ing the Commissioners, with the approval of the above mentioned commission, to appoint two civilian assistants to the Engineer Commis- sioner to assist in doing the work in question. Sections 4 and 5 authorize the Commissioners toenter upon lands to make surveys and to name the highways laid out on the maps. By section 6 the C quired within thirty da; shall have been ail change any existing subdivision to apply to the Su- preme Court of the District for the condemna- tion of such land 2s may be necessary. ‘This section is not intended to apply except where the purpose of the map is to rectify one or more of the subdivisions laid out prior to the act of August 27, 1888. COMPULSORY EXTENSION. Section 7 is intended to provide for the com- pulsory extension or opening of streets where the public convenience requires this to be done but the land owner refuses to dedicate the land needed for the highway. It is required by this section that before any condemnation can take place under it the court, after giving due notice to the public and whenever practicable to each land owner interested and after hearing evidence from all parties in interest, shall de- cide to what extent the publie convenience does in fact require the condemnation, and shall not roceed with the condemnation except where it Essfound in this way that the public com venience demands it Proceedings under this section are to be in- stituted by the Commissioners of the District when in their judgment the public convenience requires it. Section 8 provides for the giving of a public jotice before any condemnation procecding: shall be undertaken under the act, and requir. also that notice shall be given to each land owner interested where it is practicable, and to the United States district attorney. Section 9, like section 7, refers to proceed- ings for the correction’ of misfitting sub- divisions and requires in those cases that the court, after giving notice as aforesa:d, shall proceed immediately with the coudemnation, so far ag it relates to any land within an exist- ing subdivision. The object of this is to prevent any unneces- sary delay in the rectification of subdivisions made between 1865 and 1888 Subdivisions made under the act of 1888 the Commissioners are required to adopt without change and in- corporate them into the maps which they are to prepare. CONDEMNATION PROCEEDINGS. Section 10 directs how the condemnation proceedings shall be conducted, and provides that a justice of the Supreme Court of the Dis- trict of Columbia, with a jury of seven, selected by the marshal aud accepted, after bearing objections, by the court, shall hear evidence offered by any of the pattice im interest, and determine what are the damages—the court having power to set aside u verdict as to any parcel of land when it shali seem to the court to be unreasonable. Section 11 provides that when a part only of a tract is taken the benefit to the part not taken is to be deducted from the damages given for the part taken. Sections 12, 13 and 14 relate to the detailsmt the proceedings before the jury and the com- pensation of the persons summoned as jurors. Section 15 provides that one-third of the amount awarded as damages shall be assessed by the same Jury upon the land benefited thereby, end that such assessment shali be a lien upon the land assessed and shall be paya- ble in five equal aunual installments, with in- terest at the rate of 4 per cent per annum. Section 16 authorizes the court, after a final determination of the amount due in t to any parcel of land, to decree payment of the same to the ny such ‘miup | DUTY oF THE count. Section 18 makes it the duty of the court to put the Commissioners in possession of any land condemned as soon is a decree shall have becn made for the of the damages assessed on account thereof, Sections 19 and 20 provide for the issuing of bonds bearing 3 per cent interest and running fifty years, aud for the sale of such bonds for the purpose of raising money to pay the ex- penses incurred in carrying out this act and in meeting the awards tbat may be made by the court for land condemned or injared; ani Section 21 provides that oné-half the amount paid in carrying out this act shall be charged to the revenues of the District of Columbia, As one-thir e damages are as- sessed against and collected from the land bene- fited by the improvements the result will be that the United States will bear one-third of the total expense and the District two-thirds— the amount paid by the District being equally divided between thi property specially ne- ‘and the general fund of trict, pet eon acs AMUSEMENTS, Bostox Sympsoxy Oncuestra.— Cony lighted tional Church was filled with a del audionce on the occasion of the third concert of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. This orchestra has bécome so popular in this city that its concerts are looked forward to with eager anticipation by lovers of music. ‘The1 is uevor any dissapointment, for the work of the orchestra always of tho highe: character. ‘That it preserve such uniform e: cellence is a high tribute to the coatrol of ite conductor, Mr. Nikisch, who bas perfected the labor commenced by Henschel and advanced by Gericke. Last night tho enjoyment of the audience at the perform- ance of the orchestra was emphatically man fested Ly applause. ‘The Berlioz March pro! ably commanded the closest attention because it was the least known, and the viola solo by Mr. Kneisel deserved the recoguition it received ‘The Schumann number was the most satisfac- tory, except to the extreme Wagnerites, be- catise of the melody of the overture, and the ity of the scherzo and its treatment by Mr. Nikisch and his players was ali that could be desired. Mrs. Julin Wyman confirmed the favorable impression as a vocalist abe made in her first appearance here and was warmly re- ceived. ‘Ihe interest of the evening, however, centered in the appearance of }lise Leonora Vou Stosch, whose former friends were very uumerons ip the audience. Those whe had known her as a girl, when she first commenced to play the violin under Prof. Josef Kaspar, who saw the ability of his young pupil and did sil in hie power to start er in the right direction, were there to sce if she had fulfilled the hopes entertained for her when she left Washingtor to complete her studies in Germany. ‘That sbe had developed even beyond the expectation of her fricnds was manifest by her excellent performance of Saint-Saen’s Rondo Capriccioso, which afforded an opportunity for the display of brilliant technique, of intense feeling and of free, firm movement. She was fortunate in playing upon an instrament of wonderful purity of toue, the famous Stradivdrious, of which 20 much has been said. The gratification of the wudieuce at Ler performance was manifested in the most pronounced manner and applause was showered upon her at every oppor- tunity. At the close of the piece the demand for encore was so emplatic that it could not be resisted and she played the pre- lude to a Lach sonata exquisitely. Miss Vou Stoseh has a bright future before her, but a firm position in the front line of violinists can only be mainiained by constant study und practice. Youth, a keen musical intelligence, ambition and perseverance are qualities that she possesses and that should give her the highest rank among Americar. female violin- ists. Her course will be eagerly watched in this her native city. Natio: Kurs’ ARMont.—Tomorrow even- ing there will be acoucert at the National Rifles’ Armory by the ——t Mandolin, Banjo and Guitar Club, assisted by prominent local talent. Mr. Hub Smith will sing hi famous song, “The Country Band,” to full or- chestral accompaniment, and “The Band,” con- sisting of nine performers, will be in uniform. After the concert there will be dancing from 10 to 1 o'clock. Catvany Panism Hars.—The organ and harp recital, to be given at Calvary Parish Hall on the 18th instant, promises to be largely patron- ized, as the object tor which it is given is an extremely worthy one. Mr. George W. Mor- gan, the organist, Miss Maud Morgan, harpist, and Miss Amy Hare, pianist, will be among the participants in the program. It was expected that Miss Minnie Ewan would sing, but ler en- gagements in New York are such that she will not be in this cityon that date. There will, however, be vocal numbers by severalamateurs and the entertainment will be thoroughly en- joyable.

At the Stenographers’ Association rooms (907 G street) las! ening Mr. Andrew Devine of the House corps of reporters talked to the members on “Committee and Congressional Reporting.” The former, in Mr. Devine's opinion, is the most difficult task the reporter has to meet, and requires the highest speed, greatest versatility and widest acqnaint- ance ‘with technical wubjects and greatest staying powers of all classes of work. In the court room the reporter hes a compara- tively limited field and if attentive tothe open- ing remarks of counsel learns the proper names he will meet (the bete noir of the sten rapher) and has an outiine of the whole pm ¢ ject, while the proceedings are orderly and uiet. Even in the halls of Congress, although e confusion, noise and excitement placed a great strain upon the reporter, yet the effort necessary on the part of speakers io make themselves heard required « slower rate of spenking, while the “take” of cach member of the corps being limited to about one column of the Record afforded a respite. “But in commite| tee reporting no such aids were possible. ‘The stenographer was usuaily called upon with- out any opportunity to familiarize himself with the matter under discussion; the witnesses were frequently experts, ther lan- Guage technical; the time of the committee, witnesses and advocat being limited, their Speech is at the utmost rapidity, and as entire informality obtains, it frequently occurs that several are talking at the sume time. ‘The ses- sions frequently lust for hours, and while eom- mittcemen and witnesses may slip away one at a time for rest und refreshments, the reporter is expected to sit it out without relict.
