Great Success of Two-Big Washing- ton Firms — Future Policy. Mr. Emmors S. Smith, the proprietor of the Bosten Variety Store, Market space near 7th street, has sold his stock to his neighbors on the east, Saks & Co. and given them a long lease on his fine new building. It is the intention of Saks & Co., as soon as an inventory of the stock in the store of Mr. Smith is completed, to make it an addition to their prescnt place of business. The consideration received by Mr. Smith in the deal is not announced, and neither are the plans of Saks & Co. for the future fully made known, but it is generaily believed that Mr. Smith received a large sum for a business which was so successful as the one he was carrying on, and which had reached extensive propor- ticns. Future Pians. It is also understood that Saks & Co. in- tend to make use of the great addition to their already extensive building by enlarg- ing the scope of their business, and tt is thought that the tendency which has been noticed in their establishment of recent years of adding new features or depart- ments will be continued until the estab- ment is developed into a full-fledged department store. The specialty of this heuse, as is well known, during the thirty- one years of an unusually prosperous busi- ness career in this city has been and is now outfitters for men. Recently a millinery department in the store was opened, end now, having acquired the adjoining building, with a broad frent- age on Market spaee, which is practically Pennsylvania avenue, it is believed that it is the purpose to make this tendency a realization. Mr. Isadore Saks, who, with his brether, Mr. Andrew Saks, constitute the firm of Saks & Co., when spoken to by a Siar reporter today, said thet he was net ready as yet to discuss his plans for the future, as they were not fully devel- He added, however, that it was tie with its increased facili- shing- to ¥ blishment to Philadelphia.

DEATH OF MRS. BRADLEY UpToS. /SWEEPING RESOLUTIONS| Sad Sheck to Her Many Friends in ‘This City. The. news of the death of Mrs. Georgia Bradley Upton, the wife of Judge W. H. Upton of Walla Walla, Wash., was a great shock to her many friends in this city. She had an attack of typhoid fever, which terminated suddenly in her death. Mrs. Upton was endeared to a large circle of frierds In this city, where she spent the years of her girlhood. After her marriage to Judge Upton she removed to the state of Washington, where she has since lived. Speaking to a Star reporter of the invita-}She was a woman of much vivacity of tion recently extended by the District Com- missioners to the presid2nts of the vartous street railway companies to give them the benefit of any suggestions they might de- sire to make regarding the better protec- manner and intellectual brightness, and was socially a great favorite as well as the center of a charming home life.

The Commissioners, explained Mr. Wight, in inviting ihe suggestions had called attention to the loss of life on the Capital Railway Company in the accident last month near Anacostia, in which it was claimed a defective brake was responsible, and had asked for sucn ‘suggestions the raiiway people might care to make in the matter. It was the purpose of the Com- missioners, said Mr. Wight, to obtain the benefit” of the ratlway companies a8 to safety appliances, and not, as appeased to be the impression of most of the companie: to obtain their views solely as to the over- crowding of the cars, Result of This Misunderstanding. The Commissioners had no intention of } inaugurating a discussion of the ‘‘No seat, no fare’ question, further explained Nr. Wight, although so far as he is concerned he is opposed to the overcrowding of cars, believing that under such a condition not cnly is the public subject2d to greater dis- comfort, but accidents are thereby render- ed that much more likeiy. The replies of the companies so far heard from, stated Mr. Wight, gave little, if any, promise of more satisfactory answers from those yet to be heard. For these reasons, it is prob- able that a committee of thre2 experts, to be appointed from the officiats of the I triet_ government, will be dirested by the Commissioners to thoroughly investigate the subject of better protection for the traveling public, and to recommend such safety appliances as the committee, after a full consideration of the matter, may sug- gest for adoption, Better brakes Needed. It does not appear, said Mr. Wight, that those roads operating whoily within the city limits, with the possible exception cf the Capital Traction Company, stand in need of better appliances for the prot: } of passengers, for it seems that ex upon the line of the Capital Tractior ro there are no grades in the city requiring more than ordinary brakes cn the cars. Hence, it is, he continued, that the sub- urban lines are the roads io whicn the Com- missioners more particularly referred in their circujar letter to the railway com- tion panies, for on them are found the grade Ml aet quick! steep road which require brakes which and effectively on the very encountered on the suburban Mr. Wight also said that durmg his © of a month in the north he will endeavor io acquaint himself with. all the valuable facts he may find onthe lines in that sec tion of the country; that he may give pi associates the benefitvof (hem in their dis: position of the question. ee ge THE ©oURTs. grades Equity Court Nov 2—Justice Cole.

The com- plaint was brought by Carmine Famigli- etti, husband of the last named defendant. Counsel for the accused said Maria was not yet sixteen years old and that she was forced ‘into the marriage, which occurred about seven months ago.

Business Transacted by the Executive Committee of the Grand Lodge, LL o. a F At the last meeting of the executive com- mittee of the Grand Lodge, District of Columbia, I. O, G. T., held Saturday even- ing, a great deal of business was trans- acted, All the members of the committee were presemt, except the grand marshal, who was out of the city. A communica- tion was received from President McKinley informing the grand templar that the mat- ter of bringing a test case under the law of 1861 had been referred to the Attorney General. Another communication from the President stated that the committee's pro- test against the “canteen” system had been referred to the Secretary of War. The committee decided to hold a fair in the coming autumn, under the joint aus- pices of the Grand Lodge, and the vario subordinate lodges. Each of the latter is requested to appoint a committee of at least five to manage and direct its part of the fair; the chairmen of these various committees, together with the executive ccmmittee, are to constitute a board of mabagement to conduct the fair, The first meeting of this board will occur on Friday evening, August 26. All matters of detail are left with the béard. The grand templar and grand secretary Were directed to draw up and forward pre- amble and resolutions reciting that “saloons serve no useful purpose; they are not de- manded by any public necessity, and, as an abstraet proposition, they are generally ad- mitted to be a source of a great deal of the crime and misery in the world, and that the country would be better off ‘with- out them; that the business of manufac- turing and selling intoxicating liquor never did and by possibility never can add any- thing to the substantial wealth of a na- tion; that whereas there is 1o inherent right to thus sell intoxicating liquors by retail, it is nof the right of a citizen of the United States or of any state; and that by recent act of Congress the Ha- watian Islands have been annexed to the United States and a commission appointed to devise a code of laws for the govern- ment of the same for submission to Con- gress, that it be resolved by the executive committee of the Grand Lodge, District of Columbia, Independent Order of Good Tem- plars, that we petition the commissioners to submit to Congress, and the American Congress to ratify, a law absolutely inhib- iting the manufacture, sale, importation or exportation of any and all intoxicating liquors.” The grand secretary was authorized to make the necessary arrangements for the officers of the Grand Lodge of the District to visit the Grand Lodge of Virginia at its next session, to be held in September at Falls Church, and to endeavor to induce the Virginians to pay this jurisdiction a visit at the same time. —_.+___ Conscience Fund.
