Will Place on Sale To-Day a Most
Extraordinary Value in
Women's High-Class
Tailored Suits at $25
As fortunate as our representative was in securing
them, we regret the fact that the quantity is so limited,
although thost who come to examine them this morning
win rimi a complete range of misses' and women's sizes,
16 to 44.
Thc>e Suits are made of an exceptionally fine grade
of men's wear serge, in black and navy blue; the plain
tailored jackets are lined with Skinner satin to match.
They are built on "mannish" lines by the best men
tailors and worked out by hand.
They are Suits which* we believe to be the equal
of any custom-tailored garments that would cost
$40.00 and more. At $25.00 we are positive they
excel the best tailored suits sold anywhere in
Richmond.

PATROLMAN DUFFY
SHOOTS HIMSELF
Revolver Accidentally Discharged
While Officer Was Removing
It From Pocket.
Patrolman John M. Duffy, of the
First Palice District, last night acci?
dentally shot himself in the right ankle
while at his home, 511 East Deign
Street. A bullet from his revolver
passed almost through the leg. though
it was said that no bones had been
broken.
Duffy had just returned home after
making an arrest, having been detailed
for plain clothes duty last week. He
was preparing to enjoy a quiet eve?
ning and had removed his revolver
from his pocket and placed it up an a
couch. The weapon slid off ar.d fell
to the floor. He stooped to pick it
up, nnd as he touched it it was dis?
charged. Several members of his fam?
ily and a few friends were there at the
time, and were terrified when he fell
to the floor, after being startled by
the gun's report.
Dr. II. T. Hawkins. City Hospital
ambulance surgeon, responded 13 an
emergency call and rusheu the wounde3
policeman to Grace Hospital. An X-ray
photograph was taken and the bullet
located. The bullet was afterwards
removed. It was said that the wqund
was not regarded as serious and that
Duffy would probably be able to leave
the hospital in a week,
j How the pistol was discharged was
nn made clear. It was in n leather
holster, and the bullet tore its way
through that.

The ghost of last w;ek's carnival
.-pent a melancholy Sabbath at the
! Fair Grounds. His corporeal Eelf
'scattered to the ends of the earth,
he hover .-d over the deserted en?
closure, loath to leave for good the
scene of his six-day glory.
No uncouth merrymaker came to
pry. and the final act of leave-taking
; was unwitnissed, except for several
i fair officials and a force of hired mer?
cenaries. The day wa,s given up to
.placing on board train the exhibits
' bound for distant expositions and to
I the packing of others preparatory to
j their final rjmoval to-day.
j In Industrial Hall several booths
j were still untouched. FW the most
I part, these are the property of local
j firms and will be dismantled and re?
moved to-day. In the desolate hall,
littered with the waste and after?
math of last week's crowds, they stood
guard through the Sabbath, the last
survivors of Virginia's greatest fair.
Machinery Still There.
The machinery exhibit, covering
several acres of ground, was yester
jday almost as complete as during the
week. The whirr of speeding' fly
Wheels and the sound of exploding
gasolene, however, werj absent. The
exhibition represents in value many
thousands of dollars, and was closely
guarded during the day. By nightfall
most of the display will b; downtown
jin the warehouses of the owners.
Curiosity-seekers were not wholly
absent. Severn] hundred pedestrians,
chiefly of the 6mall boy type, found
their way to the grounds during the
I afternoon, and they stood by to see
that the last act proceeded without
hitch.
The other signs of life were limited
to a number of workmen engaged in
boxing exhibits and preparing live- t
stock for ahipnijnt. Prize cattle and
horses were still numerous, but di?
minished in number steadily its one
batch after another was loaded into
tears on the siding.
Cavalry Still Encamped,
j The only portion of last week's show
! still on the grounds in full strength
? was Troop A, Fifteenth L'nited States I
Icavarly. which reigned undisputed
j monarch over the abdicated territory.
iThi little cluster of brown tents In
;the northern end of the oval showed
no sign of moving, and the drove of
cavalry horses grazed over the big
enclosure at will.
j The troop will probably r-main on
i the grounds until to-morrow. The
'company is under orders to report this !
week at Harrisonburg for the horse I
Ishow. It was the original intent'on
I Of Captain Lindscy to make thj trip I
; cross-country from Richmond. The |
?iistance. he found, since examining
into the matter, is greater than he
expectdd, and he decided to abandon
that plan. He was led to this decision
because of the fact that the horses
had only last Tuesday completed a
long overland march from Fort My r.
j A message from the War Depart
Iment Saturday instructed Captain ?
[Lindsay to hold his troop in Richmond j
j until further orders. The men expect j
jan ord.-r to move to-morrow. In the
[meantime there is a well-stocked mess ,
jtent to provide plenty of eats, and an I
[interesting city to explore, and none
of the troopers is protesting.

ALDERMAN FOR EIGHT YEARS
President of Richmond Stove
Company and Active in
Business Circles.
Robert Gordon Rennolds died at his
residence, 202 East Franklin Street, in
this city, yesterday at 12:30 A. M. He
was a native of Frederleksburg, Va.
His early manhood was spent in that
city, and his Interest in and love for
Fredericksburg and its people were
sincere and unfailing.
Mr. Rennolds was the only son of
Dr. Robert B. Rennolds and Caroline
Gordon, his wife, and his early edu?
cation was obtained in the home of
his father and in the private school
of Judge Coleman. Subsequently he
was a student at Randolph-Macon Col?
lege, from which institution he gradu?
ated, and while there was a class?
mate of Dr. R. E. Blackwell, its pres?
ent president.
After leaving college Mr. Rennolde
entered upon a successful business
career, first with the banking house i
of Con way. Gordon & Garnet t, in
Frederlckslaurg. Eater lie came to
Richmond, ana was for a time a mem?
ber of the firm of II. B. Talllaferro
& Company, wholesale commission i
merchants. In 1SS0, with the late W.j
J. Anderson, he purchased the Rich- j
mond Stove Company, and under their,
management this business grew to be j
one or the large manufacturing enter
prises of this city. His business in- j
terests were varied; he was a director;
of the National Bank of Virginia, and J
upon the consolidation of that bank j
with the First National Bank, he was j
chosen a director of the new instltu
tioa Mr. Rennolds gave freely of I
his time and thought to the develop
meat and progress of this city, and)
upon matters Involving the interests
of Richmond his counsel and advice
were often sought. He was a member
of the Board of Aldermen from Mon?
roe Ward for eight years, his last term
of office having expired on September
1, 1912. when the wards of the city
were reduced and reorganized. He was
a valued and useful member of the
Finance Committee of the City Coun?
cil, and to him. perhaps more than any
other man. was due the settlement to
the distinct advantage of the city of
the electrolysis controversy, which
some years ago arose between the ?
city of Richmond and the predecessors
of the Virginia Railway and Power!
Company. He was also a member of
the committee which drafted the or?
dinance providing for the government
of Richmond by an Administrative
Board, and was an active advocate
of that measure in the sessions of
the Board of Aldermen.
Modest and unassuming though he
was. his knowledge of the best in
literature, his simpleness and direct
neea of manner and character made;
him a charming companion, and com-j
pelled the respect and esteem of alii
who knew him.
On January 8. 1885, Mr. Rennolds)
was married In old St. James Church j
to lAae Nellie Addison, the oldest !
daughte r of K. B. Addison of this city
He is survived by his widow and four
children. Edmund Addison, Robert
Gordon. Jr.. Nellie Addison Rennolds'
and Mrs. Hiram M. Smith, all of this i
Uty. and two sisters. Mrs. J. Evans i
Martin and Miss Elizabeth Rennolds,
of Fredericksburg. as well as a large'
family connection in that city.

TWO SYNODS HERE THIS WEEK
Great Mass-Meeting Planned at
City Auditorium Wednes?
day Night.
I Historical addresses commemorating
the one hundredth anniversary of the
founding of Union Theological Semin?
ary were delivered yesterday in the
seminary chapel. At the morning ser?
vice. Rev. W. W. Moore, D. D-, presl
jdent of the seminary, spoke on the first
j fifty years of the institution, and at
night Rev. Theron H. Rice. I>. D-, spoke
'on the work of the second half century.
I It is anticipated that the two addresses,
' with other historical papers to be de?
livered during this week before the
I Synods of Virginia and North Caro?
lina, will be later published in book
form.
Founding of tke Seealaary.
Dr. Moore told graphically of the
founding of the seminary at Hampden
Sidney, in Prince Edward County, in
1812, and of its part In the development
of Presbyterlanism throughout the
South up to the outbreak of the War
Between the States. To Rev. John
Holt Rice, D. D., founder of the semin?
ary and first pastor of the First Pres?
byterian Church of this city. Dr.
Moore paid special tribute as an or?
ganizer and worker of exceptional
note, having, in addition to his labor in
the church and seminary, been the
founder of the Virginia Bible Society
and later part founder of the American
Bible Society, and founder of the first
religious periodical regularly Issued
in this country? a Presbytealan week?
ly issued for many years in Richmond.
To one other man Dr. Muore ascrib?
ed much of the credit lor the success
of the first half century of the semin?
ary?Rev. Robert 1_ Dabney. D. D.. a
scholar and theologrsn and writer
who left a deep Impression on the theo?
logical thought of his day. Besides
ranking high among authorities cn
Greek and Hebrew, Dr. Dabney was
thoroughly familiar with the subject
of church history, which was his chair
at Union Seminary for many years. He
was the author of aeveral volumes on
theology, which are still used as text
books
Was la Confederate Army.
An ardent controversialist. Dr. Dab?
ney was a leader in the events pre?
ceding the War Between the States,
and in the formation of a separate
Presbyterian General Assembly In the
South, and his book defending the
conrse of the State of Virginia in se-1
cession and in its course before and
darlas the war remains one of the'
clearest expositions of the subject, and'
a standaid authority among historical
students. At the outbreak of the war.
Dr. Dabney became a chaplain In the
Confederate army, and was later ap?
pointed a major and member of the
staff of General Stonewall Jackson,
which position he held until his health
failed from the exposure of camp life,
compelling his retirement from active
service in the field.
In closing. Dr. Moore made special
reference to the long roll of alumni of
Union Seminary who entered the Con-,
federate army either as chaplains or in
the ranks, a number being killed in
battle, while some who are still hon?
ored ministers of the church, rose to(
prominence in the Confederate s?rv!ce. j
Dr. Rice last nlsrht took up the period
of development since the war. the ex-1
tension of Presbyterianism throughout
the South, the valuable home mission!
work done by those who have gone outi
from the institution, and eipceially the
efforts of those graduates of the semin-j
i ary who have In the past fifty years'
represented the Presbyterian Chureh
at missionary posts established on
every continent.

asking that the membership be In?
creased. Tne board, at a meeting held
on October 8. unanimously agreed that
in its opinion the change will tend
to the best interest of the club, and
accordingly, a general meeting has
has oeen ca'.led to approve or reject
the petition, an amendment to the con?
stitution being necessary to grant It.
Three years ago the constitution
was changed and the club Increased
its membership from 400 to 450. There
are now forty-seven members On the
waiting list, some of whom were
elected nearly two years ago. The
Westmoreland flag has been at half-'
mast three times within the weak?for
