THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1898-14 PAGES. 5 nto the Beaten Path! vy evening the last word on the final page of the jo-vear history of the Johnson & Luttrell stock was read and a new nsmirched record taken down. We began to fill that out today— t prelace —without introduction. It shall tell of a newer, bigger— Corner. It shall chronicle greater feats of selling and more iearless ways of buying. Its first words shall be of the on-verging holi- s. and the comprehensive preparation we've made to cope with Christ- s and Yuletide wants. The Johnson & Luttrell Building Will by Dec. 1 Be a Vast Toy Bazaar. We'll fill it from cellar to eaves with the most novel and quaint and bewildering toys that ever set a boy’s heart a-thumping or brought the Mush of delight to a girl's cheeks. re shall be no stock to compare with it. Straight from the villages ‘mong the Harz Mountains we've brought thousands of odd wooden and mechanical novelties. The pret- tiest and most saucy Dolls in the Dresden shops and the most ingenious matics that erratic-brained Frenchmen ever conceived. Sturdy and eak-defying Iron Toys, Express Wagons, Drums and Horns and igles, Firemen and Soldier Equipments, Miniature Households, Build- Blocks and Stuffed Horses. All these and legions on legions of other wonderful and delightful Christmas yys will be found in un- bounded profusion throughout the place. Then there'll be the Albums and the Shaving Sets, the Manicure Boxes. the Work Baskets, and all the other things that you'expect the town’s best store to have. You'll find all these s than were ever named for you since Christmas ave borne their burdens of pleasure! Back Agai At g ovclock Saturc better Busy mas crov stockings Jac. & 80c.

In view of the large increase in the use of engines operated by gasoline or kero- sene oil, and to further protect the com- munity in their use, the District Commis- sioners, upon the recommendation of the inspector of buildings, today announced the adoption of an amendment to the building regulations. The amendment, which is added to section 161 of the regu- lations, reads as follows: “Gasoline and kerosene oil engines, for power, of a type to be approved by the in- spector of buildings, may be permitted; such engines shall rest on solid brick or stone foundations, built on the ground, but no such engine shall be located above the grade (ground) floor of any building. All tanks for the storage of gasoline and kero- sene Oil shall be located under ground, at a ance from any building (not nearer than six feet), und the top of such tank shall be below the level of the base of the engine, and not less than three feet under ground, and be solidly inclosed with earth; and the location of such tanks shall be sub- ject to such of the reguiations herein re- lating to vaults as are not inconsi herewith. All pipes leading from suid s age tanks shall be put together at every point, metal to metal. Supply pipes shail incline toward storage tanks. The filling of storage tanks with gasoline and kero- sene oil shall be done only by competent persons, and all pipe attachments between wagons for hauling gasoline and kerosene oil, or tanks therefor, shall be fitted h tight screw connections; vent pipes with screw Caps must be attached to such tanks, vent pipes shall be open during the proc of filling; vaives in supply p.pes to engines between the engine tank, and near such tank, shall be provided; vaives in supply pipes shall be closed when milling the tank, and when engine is shut down for the night. Gasoline and kerosene oil shall be supplied to engines by approved pumps, provided with cut-off valves, overtiow and by-pass so arranged that all gasoline and kerosene ofl shail drain back to the storage tanx, so as to leave the building entirely free from gasoline or kerosene oil, when the engine is not in operation; all cut-off vaives for this purpose shail be outside of buildings. “No change shall be made in the arrange- ment or construction of engines operated by gasoline or kerosene oll without notice to and approval by the inspector of build- ings; notice of intention to introduce gaso- line or kerosene oil engines into buildings shall be given to the inspector of buildings, who will make, or cause to be made, an in- spection of the proposed location, and, if satisfactory, and in accordance with the foregoing, Will issue a permit therefor. The dimensions of storage tanks for gasoline and kerosene ol} shall be determined by the inspector of buildings. All eng:ne rooms inclosing engines operated by gasoline or kerosene oil shall be of brick, stone or iron, and the ceilings, doors and shutters thereof shall be covered with metal.” ———-____—_ Hotel Arrival Arlingion—R.

Neither has the interior, save to have modern heat- ing and ijghting facilities introduced. The house is very spacious and is full of old carved mahogany furniture and old-time belongings of generations past. Amer:can and British flags and quantities of flowers added to the attractions. An early dinner was served, with a whole roasted pig, a turkey and ducks, on the beau tifully adorned table, and accompanied by every ble delicacy, all the good things being raised on the place.

All the rooms in the house were to be seen, and the display of gold and silver plate Was quite lke a vision of Aladdin's Paiac while on one of the buffets all the duke’s racing trophies, great vases covered with figures, were grouped together, and there were superb gold candlesticks on the large center table, at which the royalties supped.
