THE SHOPPING TRADE.
Christmas Display at Hecht & Co.'s
Very Attractive

The busy scenes in and about the estab-
lishment of Hecht & Co., 513 and ST It'll
street, suggests that the Christmas shop-
ping trade has set in with great activity
In addition TO the throngs Of people which
pass in and out Of the broad entrance and
ara found on the various floors, the store
itself has an attractive holiday appearance,
and In anticipation of the increased trade
the firm has provided every facility not
only for properly waiting customers, but
for delivering the goods. In the center OF
the main entrance lobby, which, like the
front is dressed in Christmas attire is a
large showcase which is filled with TOYS and
also contains q Christmas tree which is
lighted with incandescent electric lights
In addition to the books and toys and
other features Of Christmas shopping there
is one department that seems to be attract
ing great attention, and that Is where O.
special sale is being made of mems clothing,
suits and oVercoats. In the cloak depart
ment where the Freedman stock is found
the force of employees Is obliged to work
night and day, as garments to be fitted are
altered free of charge. The fine line of
furs Is attracting special notice, as every
thing can be found there, up to a sealskin
sacque.
On the first floor in addition to the dry
goods, Is found a line of leather goods, ar
ticles Of bric-a-brac, umbrellas and every
thing needed in mems furnishing. A Holt
day attraction is the line of slippers of all
kinds in the shoe department. The mil
linery department, on the third floor, comes
in for a large share of the attention of the
patrons of this establishment, one reason
being that it is in charge of g specially
skilled mi1liner, claimed by the firm to be
the best in the city. The toy department
naturally comes to the front at this time.
while the lamps and onyx tables, etc, make
q handsome display.
1t is explained that one reason why the
Christmas trade has set in so briskly at
this establishment is because of the spe-
cial advantages offered to buyers, they
being permitted to purchase goods at the
marked price and have them charged. This
privilege extends to everything in the
store, from books and toys to wearing ap-
parel for women, children and men. In this
way the burden of Christmas shopping is
somewhat lifted from the shoulders of their
customers, who not obliged to crowd in
few days the purchasing that requires
longer time.

PURSUIT OF THIEVES.
William Colbert Overtakes and Re-
covers Stolen Horse.

William Colbert, who lives near Fort
Foote. in Prince Georges county, had an
exciting experience last night in pursuit of
two alleged thieves. His stable was en-
tered about 10 o'clock. 1t is believed, by
two young coIored men, and the noise made
by them aroused Mr.. Colbert. The
Growing Of roosters and cackling of the
hens added to the noise.
Mr.. Colbert left his house and went out
to make an investigation. When he
reached the stable he discovered that his
horse had been stolen, and, without making
further inquiry he went in pursuit of the
robbers. Having an idea that they were
from this city, Colbert came in this direo-
ton. After a long drive he succeeded in
overtaking the two young men. He fright
ened them and they deserted the horse
they had stolen. They also dropped eight
cen chickens and a turkey that they had
taken Mr.. Colbert called at the Anacostia
police station and reported the case to the
officers. He gave names and descriptions
OF the alleged rogues, and asked the
police to make an effort to apprehend them
