OKI

We are going to make this the greatest shoe-trading week in the history of Richmond, by offering the GREATEST BARGAINS EVER QUOTED ON HIGH GRADE SHOES. When goods are sold at regular prices, nobody buys them until they are in actual need of the goods. Appreciating this fact, we are quoting prices that will induce those who are noLneeding shoes at present, to supply their wants in advance ON ACCOUNT OF THE SAVING IN PRICE. A SUFFICIENT PRICE REDUCTION is bound to move goods, whether there is a present existing demand for them or not. It never fails to do this UNLESS the people believe that the ADVERTISED REDUCTION is NOT GENUINE. That's where the merchant's REPUTATION becomes the all-important factor. To illustrate: There are very few people who wear five-dollar shoes but what will avail themselves of an opportunity to save $1.50 by attending a SALE where five-dollar shoes are advertised for $3.50. IF THEY BELIEVE THE MERCHANT IS ACTUALLY SELLING A GENUINE FIVE-DOLLAR SHOE FOR $3.50, and not one which is simply "quoted" as a "five-dollar shoe" for advertising purposes, when IN FACT it is not worth more than the so-called "SALE PRICE" -of $3.50. This sale has furnished abundant proof of the fact that the people of this community believe that we do EXACTLY AS WE ADVERTISE. Notwithstanding the fact that the town has been "sale ridden" for a long time and that this is the dullest season in the year, OUR STORE HAS BEEN CROWDED WITH CUSTOMERS EVERY DAY DURING THE SALE. IT HAS COST US SOMETHING TO GAIN THE CONFIDENCE OF THE PEOPLE TO SUCH AN EXTENT! IT IS THE GREATEST ASSET WE POSSESS! WE DON'T INTEND TO LOSE IT! When we advertise a reduction in price to our customers whether it be 10 cents or 50 cents or 2 dollars, they KNOW they are SAVING JUST EXACTLY THAT AMOUNT in the purchase of the article advertised.

We want you to read carefully the special bargains mentioned below for this, the Last Week of Our Great Closing Out Sale. They represent drastic cuts, BUT WE MUST SELL THE GOODS .

OF A FUGITIVE

Chas. Brander, Embezzler, Should Be Relieved at Being Safely in Jail. WAR AND YELLOW JACK.

RAN AMUCK BOTH IN HIS FLIGHT AND NOW AWAITS SENTENCE FOR THEFT OF FUNDS FROM AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY.

Chicago, Feb. 6. Some of the story of what he called "peril and adventure" In dime novel style -was told today by Charles E. Brander, charged with the embezzlement by the American "Express company. Brander was brought back last night from Carttaagenia, Colombia , by Detective-Sergeant Dooley, having been captured in that city by local police after he had lied from Chicago. "I sailed from New York on a Hamburg-American line steamer sai.l Branch in his cell today, "and landed at Port Au Prince, Hayti. I Immediately discovered that I had Stumbled Into the periodical revolution and was witness to many petty skirmishes. I also saw, in Port Au Prince, eight generals deported in one day. I was

with a companion and1 in one. of the

last towns we ran into a gorgeous fight. We had gone a short distance to see a dance called 'fandango.' Something drew the attention of the performers and they became irritated and began to stone us. Their fury seemed to grow as the moments passed and we refused to leave. Finally they made for us in a body and surrounded us. There was nothing left to do but to fight our way out. "We made our way throught them and fled to shelter. After" that we went to the Port of Colombia and we had been there only a few days when some brown-skinned policemen informed us that we were under arrest, and then for the first time I knew of the action taken by the American Express company with regard to my disappearance. We were locked up in the jail, which was in a church built in 1500, with dark dungeons in its black depths, but we were given the best the place could afford. They seemed to think we were a couple of $5,000,000 swindlers and respected us for it. They had nothing at all against my companion, but they held him on suspicion. 'We were in that church for several weeks and one day the head jailer died of yellow fever. We were in a state of mortal fear lest we should catch the dread disease also. Finally the rescue came and things were righted. My companion was freed. "I do not care to make any statements about the shortage until I have had legal advice but will say that I am not an embezzler." Brandon, who was an assistant cashier of the American Express company, was acting cashier at the time of his disappearance. He is alleged to have taken $900 of the company's money.

A Lincoln Memorial Hospital Women Work for the Movement, So That Huge Humane Plant May Forever Live in Honor of Great Martyr.

Joanna: OoM, Medal Flour Is real economy.

New York. Feb. 7. Solely through the eflorts of a dozen earnest women, more than $93,000 has since Christmas time been received toward making the Lincoln hospital and home in this city a perpetual monument to Abraham Lincoln on the hundredth anniversary of his birth. With more than four times that sum still to be added to the half million fund needed for this livipg memorial, these women managers of the institutioin are now hoping that their project will succeed. Relying on the ready response of the women of the land as well as from each admirer of the martyred president and friend of the race he emancipated, they declared today that the measure of the country's offering should only be limited by the extent to which, their simyple story became known. Had 4,500 Patients. Forty-four hundred white and colored patients have in the last year alone occupied the beds of this second largest hospital institution in Greater New York, the records show today, while almost a hundred and fifty thousand days of expert treatment have been furnished free to poor and friendless members of both races, tlike. In the last ten years more than a million and a half days of free treatment have been given to the needy patients of this institution, which it is proposed to endow to Linsoln's memory. Twenty-one young colored women, trained as nurses according to the best professional standards, are today leaving the Lincoln hospital and home to

carry on its work in many sections of the country. From the training school of the institution at which these girls have just been graduated a hundred such negro nurses have in the last ten years been sent to give the profession and their own people throughtout the country the benefit of their experience. With scores of these Lincoln graduates being spread over the country year after year, the medical authorities here believe great good will result in helpr ing solve the problem of national health. Grateful People Help. Many of the former patients and poorer friends of this work which it

is proposed to make live in Lincoln's name have today volunteered to aid the New York women who have undertaken the direction of the national memorial movement. Graduate nurses working in the fireat winter resorts and among the colored people of the south are this week circulating dime coin cases to be filled, each with a dollar in silver, and returned to swell the half million dollar fund on Lincoln's birthday. Substantial checks and bills of all denominations are already beginning to be received by Samuel Sloan, who has been placed in charge of the memorial fund at 475 Fifth avenue in this city: The committee who have undertaken to accomplish this national Lincoln project are Miss Mary W. Booth, Mrs. Arthur C. James, Mrs. A. D. Juilliard. Mrs. Henry L. Stimson, Mrs. Frank H. Piatt, Mrs.

HE MAY MARRY HER

Chicago Young Man Thinks This Preferable to Breach Of Promise Suit.

SHE WOULD LIKE HAVE HIM

Chicago, Feb. 6. Because pretty Rose Hork prefers his love to $1,000.

Herman Levey may decide to marry

the girl who sued him for breach of promise and won. The verdict awarding Miss Hork $1,000 was returned by the jury in Judge Crowe's court, but it proved no balm for her wounded heart. "I don't care about the $1,000." she sobbed. "All I want is Herman." Levey's defense was that Miss Hork had accepted several other offers of marriage after, he had offered her his heart and hand. Judge Crowe ruled that this was no defense and that a girl had a right to accept any chance. If she thinks she can better herself, that is her concern paid the court. The verdict was returned after Judge Crowe had attempted to bring about a reconcilliation between Levey and Mis3 Hork. Levey declined to marry the young woman, but it is said he mar change hia mind.
