The camel is stupid save when an

The Lafayette Monument.

The following is "a translation of an cN-
tract from an article which appeared in lie
Petit Journal on October n 1885, upon the
subject of the proposed monument in Paris
TO Lafayette by the American people:
1T is with much pleasure and grateful
ness that We shall receive this gift from
the Americans. 1t can but raise the sym
pathy and democratic brotherhood of which
strong germs already exist between the
two republics. Sympa thy is actually a
first-rate auxiliary to help commercial tx.
change, and the Americans have noted it.
They are preparing for a commercial in
vasion of the old continent, and France is
an excellent market. We shall gladly facil-
tate their efforts, provided they grant US
reciprocal advantages and allow us to ven
ture somewhat into America with some
thing more than good sentim
France can no longer afford to remain
the diSinterested and somewhat foolish ma
tion she used to be. She has been looking
after others interests TO a great extent;
she must now look a little after her own
people. But let us not dwell too long upon
these questions. Let US hope to see the
heroical friendship Of the two great men
who made America free symboliZed Dy this
monument by which. We also hope, shall be
invoked the exemplary virtue of Washing
ton, whose imposing and ma magnanimous fig
ure, however, does not require the COM
mon homage of effigies, since IL is ever

CHRISTMAS COMPARISONS.
They Indicate Washincton's Position
as "a metropolitan City.

After one crosses the line that marks Il
third of a century of foot pedalling up the
under path of existence, his memory begins
to acquire the power of Intelligent COM
parison and when anniversaries recur in
their regular order he is prone to look
back and contrast past conditions with
those of the present
There is no anniversary in the year so
prolific of such inspiration as Christmas
day Then the reconections Of former holi-
day times crowd in upon each other like
grass sprouts in the spring. The first toy:
the first Christmas tree: the first sled; the
first handkerchief with your Initials en-
broidered by the first sweetheart, and
thousand and one other precious memories
pile up atop of one another until they al
most eradicate the wonder Of what you are
going to get this year.
AS one grows maturer he is apt to regard
the material conditions surrounding the
time in much the same comparative way.
At the present time such review is pecu-
liarly striking in interest. In the one fea-
ture of business progress alone the develop
ments are most worthy of consideration.
1t needs but a short glance into the recent
past to appreciate the wonderful changes
that have taken place within a brief period.
1t is only necessary to make the rounds of
the leading establishments to appreciate
this fact. Fifteen or twenty years ago,
for instance. IA Christmas buyer, or
any other kind for the matter of that, was
required to visit some particular store to
purchase some particular thing. To almost
every individual line of trade some individ-
ual merchant solely devoted himself. To-
day one may enter lie doors of any one OF
several big mercantile houses and procure
every article he may desire for holiday CIV
ing ere he comes out again. This condition
proves without argument that the capital
of the nation has become a metropolitan
city in every respect. A further considera-
ton of this subject rings one to the appre-
citation of the wonderful increase in the de-
veiopment of such establishments, and
there is one in particular whose progress in
this direction has been little less than phe-
nomenal. This is the busy business beehive
on 9TH street, occupying buildings num-
bered 513 and 515, so popularity known as
Hecht's Greater stores. The firm name is
Hecht & Co., but even the babies lisp out
if they can-"Hecht's."
Susie" says High School girl, where
did you get that lovely coat?
'Hechts, says the other High School
girl
'Where'd you get that nobby winter
sut?" inquiries a department clerk, en-
viously regarding another.
"Hecht's, is the sententious reply
streaked with satisfaction.
It's the same with ribbons and waists
hats and overcoats, millinery in all its
fancies, underwear and shoes furs and fur
bellows upholstery, wear for men and wear
for women. from a full dress suit to a
morning wrapper. The answer in countless
cases where admira ton inspires inquiry
will be 'Hechts."
This common tribute is the more remark
able when it is considered that the firm has
been in business here only TWO years, and

TELEPHONE SUBSCRIBERS
Meeting Last Evening Addressed by
Mr.. 4. 4. Birney.

All a meeting of the directors of the Tele-
phone Subscribers Association last evening
ut Wizards Hotel. Mr.. A. a. Birney, one
Of the attorneys of the association. made
a statement OF the condition of the contest
against the telephone company and in favor
of the enforcement of the law fixing the
rates for telephone service. He said sixty
suits for injunction had been filed against
the company since the passage by Congress
of the act making the maximum rate for
telephone service $50 per year. Each of
these suits and one for writ of manda-
mus had been instituted through the asso-
citation.
Judge Hagner had granted q temporary
restraining order in a test case, he said.
and no further action had been taken owing
to the absence from the city of Mr.. Bryan,
the president of the telephone company
Now that Mr.. Bryan had returned the tele-
phone company was taking testimony be-
fore an examiner.
Mr.. Birney said the company was bring
ing all the force of its millions to bear and
is sparing no expense. It's experts have
been upon the stand for hours and closely
examined, the object being to prove that
the company cannot afford to furnish tele-
phone service at the rate of $50 per year
At the conclusion of this testimony which
should be in by December 10, the COM
plainants will have thirty days in which
to produce their testimony, unless an ex-
tension OF time Is granted, ana this the
defense will strenuously oppose. All of the
injunction cases, Mr.. Brney said had been
consolidated, and that of j. +. Manning &
Co, being the first filed, is being made the
test case.
The case of the eomrlainants, or the Sub
scribers' Association, will be to show that
other telephone companies in other cities
supply their subscribers with a better serv-
ice than is furnished III Washington at the
rate of $50 per year less, and under the
will be examined from Detroit Toronto
Richmond, Norfolk, Baltimore and other
places, and a mass of testimony win be
adduced in this respect.
1t was decided to invite members of the
old Subscribers Association into the more
recently formed permanent organization
and to urge the necessity of all subscribers
to telephones in Washington becoming
members of the association and joining in
the fight for lower rates
