and these have taken a place with the best
displays of the kinds in Washington Each
of upward of a half hundred departments
is presided over by a manager of long and
successful experience. and the lines are
always kept up to the very moment in
styles.
The keynote in the success Of the Hecht
Stores is the unique and broadly liberal
credit plan that has met with the enthus-
iastic approval of many thousands. as is
shown in the fact that they have, at their
store in this city. opened about 10000 ac-
counts. and have today on their books
about g. 900 open accounts. Their methods
are entirely different from those of the old
fashioned 'nstallment' houses. the same
prices prevailing whether patron has pur-
chases charged or pays cash. There is alb
solutely no additional expense for the
"charge-it" privilege.
The Hecht Stores object to being known

No better Illustration of the business evo-

during the past twenty years, from the
ancient methods in vogue In certain quar-
tiers here then to the progressive. up-to-
date methods of the present can be pre-
scented than that shown by the rapid In
crease along substantial lines which has
been made by the firm of S. Kann, Sons &
Company. THE Busy Corner" of today
was a quarter of a century ago occupied
by a series of what were known in those
days as dry goods shops" These shops
had been in existence since Washington
was a struggling village, and had made but
little If any material progress. Their pro-
prietors were but slightly acquainted with

If all the buildings and warehouses be-
longing to the firm of w. B. Moses & Sons

cover the block in which but one corner Is

FROM LITTLE SHOP TO MAMMOTH
STRUCTURE.

From October, 1877, to the present time Is
not such a long period-less than three
decades-but it has marked the wonderful
growth of the Palais Royal from a little
shop at I'LL Pennsylvania avenue to the
great department store it is today. And the
whole of the great enterprise Is the
result of the work of Abraham Lisner, the
founder of the Palais Royal and now its
head.
Born in Germany. in the quiet little town
of Weiningen, his father a man of great
learning, the sons early ambition was the
mastering of languages, and the attainment
of a high degree of proficiency in music.

Toxic, July l7.-Reliable infor-
nation has been received that Rus
sian forces in Northern Korea have
gradually been driven northward
since last month and now hold only
two positions south of Tumen river.
The latest information from the
front, however, reports the advance
south OF a large force from Nlad!
vostok, but it is believed the Rus
SLAMS will halt at Nokiefsk, north of
the Tumen, and concentrate forces
to make resolute stand there
against the Japanese advance. The
rainy season has set in in Manchuria
and prevents. movements on large
scale. 1t is officially announced that
the Russian center on Sakhalin hold
ing Dar,ine and vicinity was attacked
July II and offered stubborn resist
ance. The attack was renewed at
dawn of July ~. when the Japanese
dislodged the Russians, driving them
in the direction of Mauka. The vic
tory insures the complete occupation
of South sakholin by the japanese.
Eighty prisoners were taken by the
japanese. among whom was Lieut..
Maximta. Four field pieces, one ma
chine gun and ammunition ware
houses were captured. The japanese
loss was about 20 men killed or
