If you find at the store anything different from the advertisement, or meet with anything but the best of service, tell us; we want to correct it. The conditions of trade that let us sell great quantities of goods so far below value are ex- traordinary—unusual. But this store—as we've said before—can never be a receptacle for poor merchandise, however favorable the condition or low the price. Low prices—lower than ever be- fore—you may expect, and for the latest, most fashionable things.

Funeral Services From His Late Resi- dence Tomorrow Afternoon—A Long and Honorable Career. Washington lost one of its best known business men in the death of Mr. James L. Barbour, who passed away Saturday even- ing at his residence, 724 9th street. Mr. Barbour was in the sixty-first year of his age and had been ill only for a few days prior to his death. On Thursday night he was taken sick and pneumonia developed, which steadily grew more alarming. Mr. Barbour was baptized a Catholic and on Saturday afternoon Father Kervick of St. Matthew's Church was sent fcr to admin- ister the last sacraments of the church. The funeral will be held from his late res- idence tomorrow afternoon at 2 w'clock, Rev. Father Kervick officiating. The in- terment will be at Mount Olivet cemetery. The active pall-bearers, selected from the number of those oldest in the employ of the deceased, are as follows: Richard J. Earnshaw, John W. Yewell, Wesley Ma- hely, LeBlond Burdette, Wm. Buckingham, Otho L. Linthicum, Richard M. Green and Charles E. Downes. cember, 1833. Some time before the war he started in the grocery business as a clerk for John H. Semmes, at 9th street and Louisiana avenue. Several years later he went into business for himself on Louisiana avenue with Mr. John B. Semmes, nephew of his former employer and a fellow elerk. The increase in the business warranting the admission of another partner, Mr. John A. Hamilton was taken into the firm. On the death of Mr. J. B. Semmes the firm be- came Barbour & Hamilton. This partner- skip was continued until 1883, when Mr. Hamilton withdrew from business. Mr. Barbour took his oldest son, Harrison 8. Barbour, into partnership, and under the name of Barbour & Son the business still continues. In Many Enterprises. As a business man Mr. Barbour was identified with a great number of the lead- ing enterprises of the city. He was one of the incorporators of the Central National Bank, and was elected first vice president, which position he has ever since held. He was also a vice president in the National | oa and Maturity Association, and was | one of the incorporators of the Evening | News. He was prominently connected with ' the organization of the Washington Loan and Trust Company, and at the time of his death was one of the directors. He was also a director in the Capital Trust Com- Ps Washington and Norfolk Steamboat Company. Great Falls Ice Company, Inde- pendent Ice Company, Northern Liberty Market Association, and the Wholesale Grocers’ Association. During his long and busy life Mr. Barbour, by industry and close application to business principles,suc- ceeded in amassing a fortune. Children of the Deceased. Mr, Barbour was married on February 1%, 1857, to Miss Moore, a daughter of Vavia Moore, a prominent citizen of Washington. There were seven children, three sons ana four daughters, all of whom are ilving. Two of the daughters are married, one to Lieut. McCartney, U. 8. N., and another to Licut. Irwin. Harrison S. Barbour, the old- est son, is captain of the President's ‘Troop, wiille Shirley, the youngest, ts in coliege in France, near Pari8. James ¥. Barbour 1s at present in Nice, italy, traveling with nis family. Both the absent sons were notined by cable of the sad occurrence. ~ Expressions of Condolence. The Washington grain exchange, of which Mr. Barbour was one of the founders and @ most active member, having been its first president, held a meeting today and took suitable action expressive of their regret at the death of their former col- league and friend. At a meeting of the Wholesale Grocers’ Association today appropriate resolutions were adopted respecting the death of Mr. Barbour, who was held in the highest re- spect by all his business associates. It was decided to attend the funeral in a body. ——— A NARROW ESCAPE. Gas Nearly Overcomes an Entire Family in Their Sleep. Yesterday morning, about 5 o'clock, the attention of Officers Willis and Jacobson was drawn to the residence of Prof. Geo. W. D. Walter, 1730 New York avenue, by hearing some one in the house groaning. After some little trouble the officers suc- ceeded in arousing Prof. Walter, who final- ly opened the door, appearing in a dazed condition. As the door was opened an almost overpowering flow of gas burst forth, and upon investigation it was dis- covered that the gas was escaping from an unlighted gas stove in the bath room on the second floor. It was also discovered that Mr. and Mrs. Charles J. Walter, who occupied a room on the second floor, had deen nearly suffocated, Mr. Walter being | Funeral und in an almost unconscious condition. r. O'Malley was at once summoned, and on had his patients out of danger. It ‘sul that in turning the gas light off in the bath room the stove was accidentally turned on. —_—_. Discontinuing Treasurer's Reports. In the House Saturday .afternoon Mr. Dockery secured the passage of a bill rec- ommended by the department joint commis- sion which repeals that section of the Re- vised Statutes which provides that the treasurer of the United States shall, on the third day of every session of Congress, lay before the Senate and House of Representa- tives fair and accurate copies of all ac- counts by him from time to time rendered to and settled with the first controller, as also a true and perfect account of the state of the treasury. The commission recom- mends that they be discontinued, “since no use is made of these reports, and from an examination of them it appears that they would not be available for any practical purpose. No separate report is made for the final clause of the above section. The sav- ing by this recommendation will be approx- imately the salary of two clerks—say $2,000 per annum—and also the saving of the blank books used therefor.” ———__- e-______ Fillette Court of In: ry. The record of the court of inquiry in the case of Lieut. T. G. Fillette of the marine corps has been received at the Navy De- partment. It will be reviewed by the judge advocate general and will then be submit- ted to the Secretary for such further ac- tion as may be deemed necessary. The court was convened to investigate alleged scandalous conduct on the part of the offi- cer in connection with his recent visit to Washington as a witness before the court of “honor” in the case of Lieut. Davenport. The impression among naval officers is that the court has recommended that Lieut. Fillette be tried by court-martial. ——— Fourth-Class Postmasters. The total number of fourth-class post- masters appointed Saturday was sixty-two, of which thirty-two were to fill vacancies caused by death and resignation and the remainder by removals. The Maryland appointments were as fol- lows: Vailsville, D. E. Dail, vice F. 8. Dail, resigned; Reed’s Grove, C. 1. Collins, vice Bessie Cowle, resigned. The Virginia appointments were as fol- lows: Coffee, E. B. Milner, vice H. H. Cof- fee, resigned; Cox, J. D. Kilbourn, vice H. P. Dickson, removed; Dyer’s Store, A. J. Minter, vice L. P. Richardson, removed. Jet in the | SHORT. LESSENING AUDITOR'S WORK. A Bill to Discontinue Examining Re- turns for Property. ‘The department joint commission has re- Ported a bill providing for the discontin- wance of the examination, by the auditors, of such returns for property as are now for- warded to them. The property returas are the statements of such officers or agents who have property of the government in their custody, and of the receipt and dispo- sition of that property, “It is necessary,” says the report, “that the distinction between money accounts and the property returns should be clearly kept In mind; the former relate to the ex- penditure of public money and are financial they should be, within the jurisdiction of the executive departments. The functions The Substitution of Certificates. The bill proposes, instead of sending these property returns to the auditors, that the administrative office shall send, im case of loss through the fault @ public officer, to the auditors a certificate setting forth the state of the officer's prop- erty return, and the amount that should be charged aguinst the officer by the account- ing officers of the treasury.
