WILL MOVE To
A LARGER STORE
H0pp & Co. to Leave Hotel
Block and Go to Levers &
Cooke Building.

The old firm OF Hopp & Co. has out
grown it's elegant stores in the Young
| building and will move to larger quar-
| tiers in the Levers & Cooke building or
| King street. Beginning n little shoT
at the corner of King and Bethel
streets thirty years ago the business,
always under the management of E
NJ Marshall, has steadily grown until
it is ready to go into the largest quar-
tiers ever occupied by furniture bust
ness in the Territory.
In the new establishment the firm
will occupy three floors and the base
ment within the next thirty days. In
the meantime alterations will be made
in the building to suit the new bust
ness. The electric elevator, built for
freight service, will be altered for the
use of passengers. The first floor will
be used as a showroom for the fine
grades o. furniture handled by the firm
and on the second there will be an ex-
hibition of rugs, curtains and kindred
lines. The third will be used for the
accommodation of the twenty or more
artisans employed by the firm in the
manufacture of furniture from special
designs. Down in the basement tons
of furniture will be stored prior to
being placed on sale.
This move of Hopp & Co, was Meces-
STATED by the constantly growing bust
ness of the firm and the consequent
enlargement of the stock. This re-
CURED additional showroom which was
not possible in the Young building.
Mr.. Marshall considers his present To-
cation in the Young the finest in the
city for retail trade. Tt brought to
him an increase in his business that in
Yolved greater things than We're pos
siible there, hence the larger store that
the firm will occupy in a short time
Several parties have in contemplation
the Hopp stores in the Young and they
will be taken either by. one firm or
s!ngly by three.
The entree of Hopp & CO. into King
street will change the appearance OF
that thoroughfare considerably for
with the completion of the William
building there will be a
solid block devoted to the retail trade.
The steamers from the coast and from
Mexico during the next thirty days.
will bring great things for the firm
and they will be shown for the first
time in the new store.

HEADS SHAPED TO ORDER.
German Doctor Explains Causes Of
Various Formations.

At q recent convention Of German
naturalists and doctors DR.. Watcher.
Of Stuttgart, in an instructive paper
put forth q sensational theory to ex'
plain the formation Of the shape Of
the head Of infants. He maintained
that the head of child could be
nodded artificia1ly. He found by ex.
perience that when a medium-shaped
head is placed in soft cushion the
child turns on its back, or rests ON the
back Of it's head, in order to free
mouth, nose and face. In this manner
the head rests smoothly, and short
head is developed. But If the medium.
shaped head of child is placed on
hard under-rest, like a hair mattress
or rolled carpet, the %child's head
turns aside, as it cannot stand any
more on its head than an egg. for the
muscle Of the back is weakened.
Therefore, with continued resting on
the side. a long head is, developed. 10
prove his assertions the lecturer pre-
scented a child whose mother and, sis
ter are short-headed. The child at It's
birth had q short head, now after IL
months it Is long skulled. If the child
had been placed on it's back, according
to other. experiences It's head would
have been short-shaped. DR.. Watcher
did not deny that the shape OF the
head was Inherited, but asserted that
It could be greatly Influenced by the
way the child rested.

American Idealjsm.

Since my first arrival in America I
have held that the real spirit is ideal
istic and that the average individual!
American is controlled by idealistic
impulses. Those who; may contradict
me can not have sounded the depths
Of the philosophy of Ralph Waldo
Emerson, or studied the life and read
the speeches of Abraham Lincoln, and
considered their far-reaching effect on
the American people. In Lincoln's
great character nothing can be more
striking than the way in which he
combined reality and the Hottest ideal,
with a thoroughly practical capacity
to achieve that ideal by practical
methods. This faculty seemed to give
him far-sighted. almost superhuman
vision, which enabled him to pierce
the clouds obscuring the sight OF the
keenest statesmen and thinkers Of his
age-Baron Speck Won Sternburg, in
Forum.

indication that the liver, or bowels,

At such times Nature, the wisest

help and gentle assistance which can
best be obtained from that old fam
l.y remedy, Brandreth's Pills, which
has been in use for over a century.
They are the same fine laxative

when doctors were few and far be-

pended upon.
Brandreth's Pills can be depended
