Woodward *, Lothrop’s Fifteenth Business Birthday, Monday, February Twenty-fifth. Fifteen years of uninterrupted growth and almost phenomenal success, and today this, the people’s great supply house, has a brighter, .nore vigorous, more hopeful, more impetuous youth than ever. It would be strange indeed if we could have bullt up this trade on any other foundation ‘han the very best service. The convenience of getting many things in one place {s too obvious to more than mention; but ft has never made any place successful. The convenience of a large variety in each sort may have more to do with it, Low prices may hare still more. There are natural advantages of large deal! and because there are adva. “ages, they cause the dealing to be larger still. But the secret of the success of the Boston House lies Im the fact that from its inception and all through these fifteen years we have aimed to bulld om the solid rock of public confidence; and while it has been our ear- nest endeavor during these years to have every statement true and free from misrepresentation or exaggeration, we could not have accomplished so much without your hearty co-operation and faith in our integrity. fal acknowledgment.

Provision Made for Raising the Dam— Compromises on Other Matters. Late yesterday afternoon Senator Gorman presented the conference report on the District appropriation bill to the Senate. It was not read at length in its unintel- ligible formal shape, but, at the suggestion of Senator Chandler, it was laid over until tcday for detailed explanation. As was intimated in last evening’s Star, the Sen- ate conferees agreed to the reinsertion of the House item appropriating $125,000 for the work of raising the dam at Great Falls. In answer to a question from Mr. Aldrich, Mr. Gorman said that the Senate had agreed to the House provision, with the addition that the dam, together with the other improvements as to the water supply, shall be under the proper officer, leaving Gen. Casey as consulting engineer. The provision making this appropriation as it is rcw agreed upon between the two houses is as follows: “For raising the height of the dam at Great Falls, together with the cost of such other work as may be found necessary in connection therewith, including the cost of strengthening the conduit, and for dam- ages on account of flooding of land and other damages, $125,000, for which amount and purposes the available balance of the appropriation for increasing the water sup- ply of the city of Washington shall be ap- plicable, subject to all the provisions and restrictions of the act to increase the water supply of the city of Washington, and for other purposes, approved July 15, 1882, and of the act approved July 5, 1884, making appropriations for the expenses of the gov- ernment of the‘ District of Columbia, as to apportionment and settlement between the United States and the District of Colum- bia, and the refunding thereof. And in the execution of this work Gen. Thomas L. Casey shall be associated with the proper officer in charge of the Washington aque- duct as consulting engineer. “For testing the tunnel conduit to deter- mine the amount of its leakage, $25,000, to ke taken from the appropriation ‘for in- creasing the water supply of Washington, D.C.,’ to be immediately available. “There shall be prepared, upon careful in- vestigaiton by the proper officer of the gov- ernment having charge of the Washington aqueduct and the water supply to the city of Washington, a full and detailed report, which shall be submitted to Congress on the first Monday in December, 1895, upon the feasibility and propriety of completing the tunnel conduit as now projected; the com- pletion of the new reservoir, including its dam or any modifications to the same deem- ed necessary; and upon the results as to the supply of water to the city when sald dam, the raising of thé dam at the Great Falls, the conduit, and reservoir are com- pleted. And if such officer and consulting engineer shall conclude that it is imprac- ticable, or too expensive, to repair such tunnel conduit, then they shall report some plan for bringing increased water supply from the reservoir in Georgetown to Wash- ington by pipes or otherwise. “Each separate item of the report shall be accompanied by a detailed estimate of the cost of the work required and the neces- sary costs, not to exceed $10,000, connected with the inquiry and reports, shall be de- frayed from the appropriation for ‘Increu: ing the water supply of Washington, D.' Provided, That in the preparation of this report Gen. Thomas L. Casey, United States ‘Army, shall be associated with the proper officer of the government in charge of the aqueduct as consulting engineer, and his sigaature shall be appended to sald report in said capacity, and said report shali Iso he accompanied with the judgment oi the chief of engineers, and made to the Secre- tary of War, who shall transmit the same to Congress with his views thereon.” Mr. Harris asked if the raising ot the dam is made to depend upon any investl!- gation or action of Colonel Elliot or Gen- eral Casey. Mr. Gorman answered that the appropria- tion is made directly and is to be consum- mated without any further examination so far as the dam ts concerned, but an examination is to be made in relation to the abandoned tunnel. The Other Appropriations.

H. Daniel. Metzerott Hall was softly lighted, and the artistic arrangement of flags produced a very patriotic effect, so far as color grouping was concerned. The hall was not so well filled as the promoters of the celebration would have liked. A much larger audience was expected than was realjzed, as a num- ber of the members of the women’s coun- cil, who had. lingered inthe hall after their session, were invited to retire by the Sons of the Revolution, but before the hour of beginning was at hand the public was admitted. The exercises were opened by the or- chestra, under direction of Mr. John Porter Lawrence, with “Raymond,” by Ambrose Thomas. Invocation was made by Rev. John H. Eliott, and the singing of “My Country, "Tis of Thee,” by the Choral So- ciety followed. An address on “American Patriotism” was delivered by Rev. George William Douglass, D.D., rector of St. John’s Church. The speech, which was in manuscript, was well received. The fifth number on the bill was “Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean,” Miss Mary Helen Howe and the Choral So- ciety. Miss Howe never sang more ef- fectively, infusing into her work a purity of tone, power and spirit that received such a demonstration of approval as to compel her to repeat the closing verse. The Gold Medal Awarded. The award of the gold medal offered by the society to the pupil of the public schools of Washington who should produce the best essay upon some revolutionary theme was made to Miss Louise R. Stark- weather of the Seaton School. The pre- sentation was made by President Davis. The committee of award consisted of Gail- lard Hunt, Dr. Jos. M. Toner and Civil Service Commissioner Theodore Roosevelt. The contestants receiving honorable men- tion were Helen Willis of the Friends’ Se- lect School, William English of the Central High School and Irene H. Pistorio of the Smallwood School. The essay of the prize winner was read by Mr. Barry Bulkley. “The Heavens Are Telling” was given with magnificent effect by Mrs. Anna Craig Hill, Perry B. Turpin, N. B. Fugitt and the Choral Society. The orchestra rendered selections from Bizet’s “Carmen,” and the Choral Society sang “Ha‘l Columbia.” “The Star Spangled Banner” was the next on the program, and Miss Blanche Reukert and the Choral So- clety gave a successful rendition of this naticnal song. “The Marseilles Hymn,” in compliment to the French allies, was then sung by Mrs. Anna Craig Hill and the Choral Society, and benediction by Dr. El- liott closed the event. Among the members of the society pres- ent were Lewis Johnson Davis, president of the District society; William L. McPher- son, Justice Brewer, Henry G. Kemp, W. H. Lowdermilk, Rear Admiral John G.

Resolutions Adopted by the National Reform Press Association, At yesterday’s convention of the Nation- al Reform Press Association a letter was read from H. E. Taubeneck, the chairman of the people’s party national organiza- tion, setting forth his views as to how the party should be managed and threatening that unless these are carried out he will resign his present position. The executive committee held a long session, in_ which a heated discussion of President Taubeneck’s letter was had. It was plainly the sense of the majority that Taubeneck’s proposition was entirely in- imical to the interests of the people's party, and the following committee was appointed to draft resolutions on the ques- tion: F. K. Burkett, Mississippi; Harry Tracey, Texas; W. A. Hotchkiss, Minne- sota; Dr. 8S. McMakin, Kansas, and J. P. Dixon, Missouri. The committee soon reported a set of resolutions, declaring it to be the sense of the convention that any one who would work for or suggest such divergent ideas as manifested by Mr. Taubeneck was a traitor to the cause and unworthy of the party’s support. The resolutions were unanimously adopted. Sg eg TO REHABILITATE SILVER. Resolution to Re Introduced in Par- Mament. A meetirg of the British parliamentary committee of the Bimetallic League last night approved the bimetallic resolution which Robert Lacey Everett, representing southwestern Suffolk, will move next Tues- day. The resolution is to the effect that the house of commons regards with increas- ing apprehension the constant fluctuations and the growing divergence in the relative value of gold and silver, and heartily con- curs in the recent expression on the part of the government of France and the par- liament of Germany regarding the serious evils resulting therefrom. It therefore urges upon the government of England the desirability of co-operat- ing with other nations in an international conference to consider what measures can be taken to rehabilitate silver, or mitigate the evils which it is claimed arise from the demonetizing of the white metal. SS eee Death of Mr. Wolf's Mother, The mother of Mr. Simon Wolf of this city, Mrs. Amelia Wolf, died yesterday in Philadelphia, at the age of eighty-five.
