No greater success has ever been achieved in retail selling than we achieved last week as the result of the purchase of thesalvage stock of the Baltimore Bargain House which was visited by a most disastrous fire last December The immense crowdswhich responded to our announcements was the subject of conversation on all sides In contradistinction to sales of like charac
we almost gave away And tints nobody had occasion to take advantage of our standing offer to take back any purchase whichwas not satisfactory
It was a great we regret that much of the merchandise which we secured did not arrive until late Saturday andhence we continue the selling during the balance of this week holding out to you bargains of as great magnitude as any of thoseoffered last week
We will continue to charge purchases as usual and will cheerfully arrange terms of payment to suit your income

If anyone residing In the District andIn the adjacent counties of Maryland andVirginia however failed to witness thepageant it was not for want of streetcar facilities to place them within view ofthe scenes The management of the dif-ferent local street railway companies putforth ReIr best efforts to accomodate thegreat rush of travel and although thetime was limited by police regulations-it is safe to say that everyone who desired was given ample opportunity to takeadvantage of transportation offered
The police rules requiring the cessationof street car traflic along PennsylvaniaAvenue between Washington Circle goingeast from 1000 a in and from Thirdstreet going west after 930 a m wereobserved rigidly by the Capital TractionCompany The regulations also prohibitedthe running of cars on the Fourteenthstreet branch of the line after 1000 a min order to avoid any Interference withthe procession of Fifteenth St and NewYork Avenue Cars were likewise pro-hibited tram being run from the Balti-more and Ohio Railway going south onFirst street to Pennsylvania Avenue after L30 a m
From early morning cars on the vari-ous branches of the Metropolitan Roadleading to the were packed Thejam kept up until nearly 11 oclock Atevery crossing or point where there was apossibility of congestion employes wereon hand to relieve the strain avert danger and hasten the people to desiredpoints
At Ninth and F Streets from 8 until 11oclock there was a busy scene Fromthe north and northeast sections of thecity and the suburbs there was a greatrush everybody being desirous of getting-to the scene of the parade as quickly aspossible that a good view might be
Notwithstanding the hustle andbustle the multitude was handled withalacrity and safety
Cars on the Ninth Street branch of theline did an enormous business Every
