BUYERS PROFIT BY PASTJXPERIENCE Richmond People Do Christmas Shopping Early This Season.

HELP TO MERCHANTS Clerks Also Say They Appreciate Fact That Rush Will He Lighter. What has become of the wait-until-the-last-minute, desperate shopping fiends, who on Christmas eve, rush at a terrific pace along the counters of the store almost at a point of grab blng anythiag that happens to meet his or her glancer The merchants arc beginning to say that in a few years they will have no place in shopping circles. The prevailing sentiment with shoppers and merchants alike and in fact everyone involved in to "shop early." Ten years of agitation of the press, women's clubs and merchants has brought the situation to a close so that in Richmond especially the early shopping rtile is well settled. One of the largest department store owners said that within the last two years the store had solved the problem of early shopping and that all concerned seemed well satisfied. "One may not expect as good service when there is a killing-pace rush to be waited upon and hundreds of other individuals clamoring to make their purchases and then rush homeward," said the merchant. New Era Sweeps City. "It used to be that on Christmas eve the panic broke hard on the merchant. All the pent up energy of the chopper which had accumulated for at least two months, was showered with no less agitation. Clerks and customers rushed to and fro and all was bustle and confusion. Then there was no time for selection; it was merely get what you can, have it wrapped, and run the chances of a bad selection or a misfit. "Now the new era has swept over the shopping populace of the city. Afternoons are now devoted to shopping tours. The shop early movement with a two years trial has proved such a signal success that there are fsw tendencies to drift back to the former status. "The, gradual daily increase in receipts gives the merchant a better chance to adjust the stock and balance of trade which are of special benefit to the customers. Think of Clerks. "Then there is the humane side of the question. When the shopper is home fondling some Christmas expression of good cheer, there is some one of those hundreds of clerks still sleeping in order to recuperate for the next day's work after the distressing strain of the pre-Christmas rush. To keep her rushing around at breakneck speed, which is the usual experience, only adds hours to her holiday's sleep which she could utilize keeping the Christmas day to her own pleasure." Dealers in jewelry, dry goods, notions clothing, and scores of other varieties are eagerly waiting to accommodate the thousands of Richmond shoppers and are in a position to do so with some degree of satisfaction If the shopper is a member of the "shop early" crusade. There remain just twenty-one more shopping days before the curtain drops on the Yuletlde shopping season, December 24 and to you, Mr. and Mrs. Customer, lies the joy of real pleasurable shopping tour or a bustling, rushing grand finale that leaves one entirely out of breath. MEN GE1JIV0RCES Unhappy Husbands Receive Decrees Today. Dlrorcea were granted Victor McQntre from Nettie McGuire and H. F. Wolter from Anna C. Wolter, in circuit court by Special Judge Lindemuth today. The Wolter case had been heard before, but no decision was rendered because of the two Wolter children.

The divorced couple will decide the guardianship of their one child. DUCKED FOR SHAVING CHICAGO, Nov. 29. John Green, senior at the University of Chicago, was ducked in the gymnasium tank because he violated th! rule prohibiting the shaving of mustaches. WE FELT ABOUT THE SAME WAY BOl I.DER, Colo., Nov. 29. As a re e-1 suit of trying to win a $10 wager bv devouring a Thanksgiving dinner sufficiently large to feed a family of twelve. William T.

HEADS MOVEMENT FOR BIG SCHOOL

t .. 7k

i':.siJen. Ldinund J. James of the University of Illinois, has begun work on a bill to be introduced at the next regular session of Congress providing for the establishment of a great federal university at Washington. It is planned to be on the order of he Universities of Paris and Berlin. At the latter there are 17.000 students. The bill is to carry an initial appropriation of $500,000. The university is to be governed by a board selected by the President of the United States and an advisory committee consisting of a delegate from every stat will meet and form a definite policy for the institution if the present plans go through. PHYSICIAN ASSERTS WAS KILLED Body of Edgar C. Howe Was Found Propped Against a Tree. CHICAGO, Nov. 29 The body of Edgar Clement Howe, a well known gambler and cousin of the late George V. Hankins, was found by hunters yesterday afternoon propped up in a sitting posture against a haystack in an outlying part of Proviso, west of Chicago. At the man's side was a revolver or the army type with three empty chambers. The hunters telephoned the police that they believed it a suicide. However, after Chief Fred W. Lick of Forest Park, and Coroner's physician Burmeister had made a careful examination of the man and his surroundings they emphatically asserted they had a murder mystery on their hands. "I found what appears to be the path of a bullet entering the head at the right side and emerging at the crown," said Dr. Burmeister. However, further examination disclosed three distinct fractures of the skull. The whole right side of the skull was caved in. There was a four-inch cut across the right side of the head, extending from the ear to the eyebrows. This was a clean incision to the bone. How a nian could Inflict such injuries on himself is beyond my conception." "The man's pockets had been emptied," said Chief Lick. "He lost a large "amount of blood and yet there was no trace of blood where the body was fovmd. He wore new rubbers over tan shoes and yet there was no mud on the rubbers. The body was found in a muddy field. I am inclined to think this man was killed some place else and his body hidden here." MURDER HEARING COST LARGE SUM The cost of the murder trial of William S. Circle was $638, which will b paid by Randolph county. The trial was ono of the most expensive heard here in the past quarter of a century Circle is now In Michigan City, having been taken there Thursday by Sheriff Bayer. The convicted man did not talk abont the trial until he arrived within sight of the penitentiary when he again told the sheriff he had not shot Mrs. Brown. Before leaving. Circle thanked the Sheriff for the kind treatment he had received and said he was sorry to be forced to enter into the life before him for an act which he had not committed. Sheriff Bayer Inquired about Soth Lucas, who is held in the Michigan City Insane ward. Lucas' condition has not changed and his health is excellent. His mind, however, the prison officials said, seems to have less power than that of a small child. MAN WAS KILLED POLICE BELIEVE CHICAGO. Nov. 29 Police of the Chicago Avenue station were given what they think is a death mystery today when a man believed to be Albert Benson, an employe of the Chicago Railway company, was found dead In the gutter in the street today. There was a cut over the right eye. The police think it may be murder. A passerby saw the man, and thinking he was merely unconscious, notified Henry Schriebar, who had just opened his saloon nearby, to call an ambulance. There was $17.50 and some papers in the man's pockets. USE CHARTS WITH INDOOR MEETINGS Four cases of charts were seut to County Agricultural Agent Cobb bv the Purdue Pniversity extention department.

Charge of assault and battery with intf-nt to murder, was placed against Donald Nestor, 21. in circuit court today by Prosecuting Attorney Reller, after hearing from Piqna that Richard Cook, whom Nestor stabbed with a pair of scissors, will live. Young Nestor, when told that the charge carries with It a sentence in the penitentiary of two to fourteen years, did not seem perturbed. The stabbing occurred October 6, on Main street and was so suddenly accomplished that no one saw it, although many persons were on the street at the time.

PROmSES TO PAY FOR CHILD'S CARE On promise to pay $2.50 each week towards the support of his three-nionths'-old baby, no action was taken on the affidavit of non-support of child drawn against Otto Bennett.

RAILWAY EMPLOYES NAGGING STRIKERS SCHNECTADY. N. Y . Nu . 29Employes of the Sehneotady Railroad company today refused to take their cars across the dead line established by the Genera! Electric Co. to fend off the cordon of pickets established by the 15.000 sfrikinu workers. This gave rise to a report that the industrial war here would soon be further complicated by a general railway strike. The street railway men declared, however, that they would take no further action at this tims than to continue in their refusal to take ears over the dead line established to keep picketing strikers as far a poisihU from the five gates through which entrance is gained to the General Electric plant. It is learned that it is not now planned to attempt to bring non-union men here. Unless a common ground of settlement can be found the company, it is said, plans to starve the men into submission by a policy of inaction. Many orders booked for the Schnectady plant already have been cancelled.

During the last year the electric light bill of the post office has been decreased more than $100. This has been done by having the lights placed correotly and in exercising all possible care in not permitting thm to burn a moment longer than they are required.
