DOUBLING THEIR CAPACITY.
IIccht & COmpany's Increasing Bus
mess Demands Another Building.

When Hecht & Co. began business in
Washington twentyseven months ago the
firm regarded themselves as fortunate in
securing such a commodious store as that
at SO 1th street, and little imagined that
their trade would grow to such immense
proportions that an extension would soon
be necessary. The liberal policy pursued Of
selling mems and women's clothing at re-
duced prices, and giving purchasers the
privilege of paying for goods on aasy terms
of credit, however, soon showed that the
sy stem was being widely appreciated. Gus
tom continued to increase at such rate
that the space in No. 5l5 Ith street was
found to be entirely too small to accommo-
date the big and diversified stock, and the
firm realized that 1t had simply outgrown
its quarters.
Quick to meet an emergency, however
the firm perceived this one. and with char
acteristic enterprise secured the building
occupied by John Ridden as a furniture
store for several years. and will annex it
to their present building. The Ridden
building is an exact counterpart of No. 515
and was built lat the same time, conse-
quently Hecht g. CO. will double their SELL
ing space. Thcl party wall every floor
will be removed. the front will be entirely
changed, new passenger and freight lifts
will be added, and a number of novel mod
ern features introduced 1t is also the in
tention to open new departments
In order to reduce the present stock and
make room for building operations the firm
iraugurated a big Iebuiding sale this morn
ing in which, prices Were apparently
slaughtered withoutregard to actual value,
and the store has been crowded to its ca
pacity with eager purchase ers.
The Hechts started business in Baltimore
on South Broadway, over a quarter of a
century ago. Today they have five stores
in Baltimore, including the largest clothing
and furnishing store and the largest whole
sale carpet and mating business.

A GREAT STUMP SPEAKER
CriItenden'S Way of VanquiShing a
 poIificai Opponent.

Of all the great stump speakers, he who held best his own and lasted long est was Mir Crittenden, not even ex- cepting Mr. Clay. Of course, like Mir. Clay. MT. Crittenden was much more than a stump speaker; he was a states man and jurist. But late and early he stood in great request as an orator among the people of the south and southwest.
 Once during visit of MT. Webster to Kentucky, as Mir. Crittenden's guest, they were the recipients of the inevit- able barbecue Mir Webster spoke first, and seeing what was coming, MT. Crittenden tried to make his escape. It was to no purpose, however. He was caught by his enthusiastic admir- CTS and brought back perforce.
 Boys" said he, II am not going to speak. After MT. Webster, it is ab- surd to ask me Why should you wish me to put up my little lights while his great lights still shine upon us? Why, there isn't stump in five miles that is net already worn by my footprints" ,"
 In MT. Crittenden were curiOusly blended both he Puritan and the caya- Her. A man of deadly courage, he was a man Of peace; q gentleman of polish ed manners, he could adapt himself to the requirements of the stump as read fly as to those of the senate, and was the delight of the men in hunting shirt and linsey-wCOlsey.
 His oldest and dearest friend was Francis Preston Blair For a long time they were close party friends, but the Clay-Jackson war at length separated them. Of this separation. MT. Blair used 10 tell graphic story, somewhat at nis own expense.
 Blair was making a speech, and roundly abusing Crittenden. When Crittenden came to reply, he made no allusion whatever to Blair. merely dis cussing the political situation, and his relation to it, ill a strictly impersOnal manner. A few days thereafter Crit tenden entered Blairs office, and ad vancing with outstretched hand, said. in his hearty way, Well, Preston, how are you?"
 Blair, surprised and embarrassed, stammered few words of saluta'ti0n, and feeling thad something else was re- quired, continued, You had a son born at your housa yesterday, Crittenden. What are you going to call him?' h. star.ly Crittenden, in his bantering way, and with 3 deprecating gesture, replied, T have been thinking, Pres ton, Of calling him by that name which you have been trying Of late to disflg ure. ."-Youth's $ Companion.

THE QUEEN or BATTLES"

The French historian, Alfred Duquet, tho leading authority On the French
 rrussian war, has written an impor- tant article entitled ''The Gusen of Bat ties which will bo published in Gau- lois. I ne article is based mainly on the lessons taught by the Spanish American war. Tn this article Duquet VII say: "The Spauish-Americau COZ liet is most terrible example of the deadly abandon With which the discov- cries Of modern science have lent them 1C!vCs 10 the r-'rDc5cs Of v-1rfarC. A few months before EOstilities began dined with a2 American diplomat, who described the new armaments in the American fleet. He said the ships of an enemy would be sunk in the begin ming Of an action, without SC much as scratch being sustained by the AEeri- can vessels. I listened to him politely, thinking, however, that there must bo G2Scons in America. Yet tne destrUc- ton Of the Spanish nset at Manila and Santiago changed my opinion of my dinner companion. Tn g word, the lat war made plain to all thoughtfuI minds that lko queen Of battles is no longer the infantry but the artillery, and that, in fact, the nation possessing the most powerful armament and the most de- strud.ive explosive will pulverize her adversary just as the great republic has pulyeriZed Spain.

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully
Guided In Early Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results
from O mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says woman must suffer-
and young women are SO taught.
There is little truth and great deal
of cxaggeration in this. II q young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to physician for examina-
t;on: but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkhnm and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass. -.
: The following letter from Miss MARIE
r. JouNsoN, Centralia, Pa, shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her: :,
.sMy health became so poor that
had to leave school. ! was tired all the
time. and had dreadful pains in my
side and back. was also troubled
with irregularity of menses. l was
very weak, and lost so much flesh that
INV friends became alarmed. My
mother, who is a firm believer in your
remedies from experience, thoughtper-
hans thew might benefit me, and wrote
YOU for advice. I followed the ADVICE
You gave, and used Lydia e. Pinkham $

YOU directed, and am now as well as
ever was. I have gained flesh and have

Fast Time to Colorado.

A new through Sleeping Car line between
St. Louis and Colorado Springs will be estab
lished over the Wabash. Rock Island Short
Line, May 18th, 1898. The time will be the
fastest made with through service between
these two points by many hours. 4 through
Sleeper will leave st. Louis on Wabash train
No. 3, at go a. m, arriving at Colorado
Springs the next morning at ll,00, with di-
rect connection for Denver, arriving at ll.30
a. m. This is the fastest regular through
service ever established between st. Louis
and Colorado. Returning, the Sleeper will
leave Colorado Springs at 2.45 p. M, and ar.
rive at st. Louis the next evening at G.l5.
Patrons of this line will avoid the only un-
pleasant feature heretofore attendant on Col
orado travel, inasmuch as the trip through
Mssouri's fertile fields will now be by day
light, and the unattractive portion of Kansas
will be traversed during the night, with the
mountain scenery to greet the tourists in the
morning.
The fast time of this line will naturally
commend the Wabash Route to intending
Colorado tourists.
Particulars will be gladly furnished on APP
