AT the opening OF the court at o'clock
the cross-examination OF McDermott was
continued. McDermott, though a witness
for the prosecution, is what is known as a
"hostile" witness, and his testimony savored
more of sympathy with and a vindieation
OF the defendants than otherwise. There
could be no doubt that colorei men a the

up and carries her head gracefully, is a

sends the blood to puisating as spedalingdoes
and since the rinks have opened In four of
our big cities skating clubs have sprung up
like mushrooms. In the big public rinks the
far-sighted managers have built in u series

decoration and furnishing and rent IL for

and then from q nearby restaurant or
over the club chafing-dish a supper is
got ready in tifry for the hungry, hila-
riUus skaters.
The hilarity is an invariable outcome OF
the exercise, and the club privileges are
dearly priced By the women members who
enjoy the security OF masculine escort
in the rink. Dancing is the term when a
young man takes his partners left and
rights hands securely in his own and skates
with her through the simpler figures. OF q

join hands and glide the rink's length

for skating balls is warmly indorsed on
this side. For one OF these the entire
rink is rented for an evening or three
hours.

1t Contains.

/ was walking down Seventh street
yesterday and had to stop at the corner
of / street and admire that handsome
building of Mcssrs. House & Hermann.
the famous equitable credit furniture
folks. are having put up.
What an immense store that is going to
be. Fifty thousand square feet of selling
space. II you are interested in unique
architectural effects 1t Is worth walk
out of your way to see it.
The skeleton is nearly completed. The
roof is being put on at present and the
great, tall tower that Mr.. Prescott, the
builder, says can be seen from Alexandria,
is rapidly climbing skyward.
Mr.. Hermann tells me that this building
is constructed on plan wholly new III
Washington. He calls 1t the sow-burning
process. New York has some of 1t and
so has Chicago. The insurance COM
panies regard buildings put up in thIs
fashion the safest kind OF risks. 1t was
explained to me in this way: All the cross
beams on each floor are of heavy, solid,
hard wood timber and are left exposed.
Fire would make slow progress on them,
AMI is easily located. Being exposed there
are no nues to create drafts anu conduct
flames.
/ believe the slow-burning process has
n clear record up to date. Not an in
stance on record where building SO
constructed has had disastrous conilagra-
ton. That is more than can be said of
the so-called fire proof buildings.
The exterior of the House * Hermann
building Is of brick-that is, what isn't
10 be oI glass. There win be 200 square
feet of glass surface. That must exceed
the cxpause in any other building in
Washington. IL will let in an abundance
of daylight and provide what So few fur
niture houses have-plenty of show win
dow space. / forget how many electric
lights Mr.. Hermann told me he was going
10 haye-but enough To turn darkness into
day. Both The passenger and freight ele-
vators are to be run by electricity.
In speaking of the appointments of the
new store Mr.. Hermann said: I'VE went
all around looking at modern business
houses and borrowed here and there an
idea. Not quite n year ago we built
building in Wheeling, W. Va, larger than
the one here. or course our experience
there shows us where we can make some
Improvements. There won't be better
arranged store for our line OF business
in this country than this when IL is ready
for us TO move in."
And he is right about that. The old
Equitable Credit System will have a
gem of n house. House & Hermann are
giving this part of Seventh n boost up in
the scale of popularity by the energy aud
enterprise they display. j don't think ii
is any wonder such men are successful.
They deserve TO be.
The new store'n be finished about Feb
ruary first.
