Great Reductions in
Coats, Skirts and Furs.
In line with what we said yesterday about our Inventory Sale, we're
poino* to continue lhe special prices on these goods until the entire lot is
cleaned up. 'Our descriptions of the various lots below will show you
exactly what we have. ,
The coat we're offerins* at $3.50 we feel conndent you can t even equal
at this price anywhere. Ladies wearing the smailer sizes will find these
garments are special bargains, though we have some of them in the
IsTCcr s*zcs. *
The -2.98 Corduroy Skirt, you'll notice. is just half theoriginal price.
The Furs spoken about to-day are mostly of the higher grade- We
offer them all at very reaso.iablc prices and much under what they sold
for all season.
It's hardly necessary to say, of course, that they re below cost in
most of the cases.

L&.ce and Embroidery
Specials.
Possibly you rn2y secure some of
these special things advertised be?
low after Saturday, but it's doubt

been done in this department the

be gone by closing time to-night.

Ladies1 Neckwear.
What we said about embroidenes
in reeard to clearing up the lot
Saturday will apply equally as well
to the neck ruffs and other things ad
vertised in this column.
Perhaps more so as there's so few
of them comparatively.
What we have are extraordinarily

NEW HAND-BOOK.
DF OLD VIRGINIA
Department of Agriculture to Issue
Fine Volume.
EVERY RESOURCE DISPLAYED
Book to Contain Several Hundred Pajcs
With Macy Lluslratlons?Rend.Uon War.
rant issued?Old Criminal Caught
Up With?Personals.
The Department of Agriculture will
lssuo within tho next two months a
hand-book of Virginia, which 'will,be the
largest and mcst complete publication of
the kind ever sent out about this State.
It has been five or six years, at least,
since a hand-book of Virginia was pub?
lished. That was a splendid one for that
time. But it will not compare with the
bcok which is soon to bc scattered over
the entire country, dlsplaying by printed
page and vivid illustration the mar- j
velqus wealth and resources of Virginia.
Commissioner of Agriculture Koiner is j
superintending tlie work. He is coi- j
Jeeting data- Hundreds of letters are |
now hurrying all over thc State asking ?
for information. pictures of Virginia man
ufactories, public and private buildings
of special importance and magniilcence, j
Virginia stock, both horses and cattle.
of fine breeds and high types.
This book. says Mr. Koiner. will con- .
lain a full and accurate review of every j
industry in Virginia. So complete wil!
be the volume that a man who knows
nothing of the State by living :'n it, can
gain the. clearest conception of what its
wealth is, the nature of it. the resources j
of the State. and conclude from what
he reads what may bc expected of tho j
future.
Mr. Koiner will take the greatest pains ]
to have the book well illustrated. This i
will be well done tn the sense that tho |
volume will not only abbund in illus- j
traUons. but they will be real ones. Pho- j
tcgraphs of cattle and horses raised and j
now owned in Virginia will be used in j
making the cuts which will be printed |
in the book. This is a matter of some j
Interest, when it is known that many i
of the so-called hand-books print "fancy'' I
pictures. Not only will the agricuitural
resources of the State be set forth to
advantage and with scrupttloas accu- ,
racy, but thc latcst reports concerning |
the schools, finances; labor conditions, j
manufactories and mineral industry will j
eombine to make the volume a credit '
and a splendid advertisement for tho
Stato.
Virginia bonds have returned to thc 100
1-S figure, reached shortly b-eforo Christ?
mas. They have just gone up to tliat
point for the new year. At and just af?
ter Christmas. when the semi-annuai in?
terest was being paid out, tho bonds went
down to 00 1-1. They have recovered
now, and Judge Dcw said yesterday that
cjuite a number of transfors were being
made. People are investing even at that
figure in these bonds, than which none
are regarded safer.
Governor Montague yesterday granteo>
extradition papers for James H. Parker,
who is wanted in Georgia to answer tlie
charge of larceny in Fulton eounty, Ga.
Parker ls accused of thc theft of a pair
of scales and the cntangleincnt of some
financial trusts. Sheriff XV. H. Crim, of
Fulton county, came after the prisoner,
who went to Atlanta ahead of him.
J. P. Goode, deputy sheriff of Chester?
fleld county, and XV. P. Shelton, treas?
urer of Hanover county, were visitors at
thc Auditor's oflice yesterday.
Governor Montague Thursday issued to
Alabama officers the necessary papers to
secure from Loudouu county Jessc Davis,
a negro, who shot to death in November
last Giles Emflner, a wel 1-known young
mar of Elmo county, Alabama.
Davis was a Virginia negro. He came
baek home. The Alabama officers
couldn't find a trace of him, but a few
days ago were notified bv a constable
of Loudoun county that the fugitive had
been arrested there, and would be held
until he could bo taken baek to stand
trial.
Several whito persons have applied ror
the position of janitor at the Capitol.
This is the offiee that old Walker llow
ard (colored) held for so many years. His
son, Percy, is his successor. is'ovr sev
er-1 white men. who have been promi
nently endorsed, are asking the Governor
to give them the position. The Executive
is perplexed. Percy is a capablc, poiite
and. thoroughly agreeable person to have
about the oflice.
Ths difference between the contractor,
who has the work of papering the Execu?
tive Mansion, and the Painters and Pa
perhangers Union, has been settled. The
workmen joined the union. One work
rhe Datiier someti_.es finds the sand
soft and yielding to his feet. It does
not trouble him and he goes on until
nresently he sinks to
liis knees and dis
covers to his horror
that he has to fight
for his life in a
quicksand.
Disease is much
like the quicksand.
The first symptoms
of storuach trouble
do not cause a____i
ety. But when
the body grows
weak through Iack
of nourishment and
diseas. of the stom?
ach breeds disease
of heart, lungs, liver
or kidneys, the suf
ferer realizes his
danger and seeks for
medicinal aid.
Dr. Pierce's Gold?
en Medical Discov?
ery cures diseases of
the stomach and
other organs of di?
gestion and nutrition. It cures diseases of
heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, etc, when
these diseases have their origin in dis?
ease of the stomach and its allied organs.
Thomas A. Swarts, of Sub-Statioa C, Colum?
bus, Ohio, Box 103. writes: <* I was taken with
severe headache, then cramps in the stomach,
and my food would not digest. then kidney and
liver trouble, aud my baek got weak so I could
scareelv get around. At last I had all the com
plaints* at oace. and the more I doctored the
worse I got until six years passed. I had be?
come so poorly I could only walk in the house
bv the aid of a chair, and I got so thin I had
given up to die. Then a neichbor said. ' Take
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and make
a new man out of yourself.' The first bottle
helped me so I thought I would get another,
aud after I had taken eight bottles, in about six
weeks. I vras wcighed aud found I had gained

DAY IN THE POLICE COURT.
Short Docket Before Justice Crutchfield and
Few Interesting Cases.
Friday, usually an off clay on the crim?
inal docket at the Police Court. was no
exception yesterday. Only a few minor
cases came up, and some of these were
allowed to go over.
That case in which most interest coto
tered was the one against Henry Kautelt,
a white man. who stood accused of driv
ing his wife out of his house. It appeared
also that she was ill. This case was not
gone into, as it was decid'ed to let it go
over for the present by request. Tliis
will enable the wife to appear in court.
Joo Harris was fined Sl for being drunk;
Mary Jane Jordan, an aged negro, ac?
cused of stealing eoal from the Cne-a
peake ancl Ohio coal bins. was dismissed,
as the Court said he had uo desire to
punish a woman of her age for the theft
oi a singie bucket of coal. He warned
her, however, and she promised to keep
clear of the bins W the future. Samuel
Liner, accused of the theft of 510 front Joe
Cosby. was allowed' to go over. Diner, it
is believed, is feigning insanity. Ile was
ail right until he appeared in court. when
he suddenly lost. apparently, all compre
hension of what was going on around him.
Next came John O. Hagan. who failed
to answer a summons the other clay. Ha?
gan was fined Sl for eontempt and $2.50
for wrestling in Phil K'elly's place. Den

TAKES NO ACTION.
Decision in the Shelburne Matter is Post?
poned? Tobacco Notes.
The Board of Directors of thc Rich?
mond Tobacco Trade met yesterday af?
ternoon at 5 o'clock for a cbnsideratioh
of the second charge of drumming against
Shelburne Warehouse. Mr. Shelburne
appeared before the board and siated that
if there had been any drumming it was
without his sanction. Hc admitted that
the man who is charged with doing thc
drumiuiiig is in his employ, but stated
that if he solicited any tobacco after it
had been loaded on thc wagons he was
ovcr-zealous. Mr. Shelburne asked that
tho board defer its decision .until the
man could be seen. In view-of this re?
quest thc matter was postponed.
Seven or eight piles of tobacco from
the State farm, weighing in all 6.7;>Q
pounds, were. .old at Crenshaw's ware?
house yesterday morning. The highest
price received on the lot was ?G.7">. Thc
tobacco was mostly lired lugs and short
leaf.
The sales on the other brcaks yester?
day were fairly good. There were no
exeeptionally large sales and no sensa
tional prices.
Thc largest shipment of tobacco ever
sent from this city. has been made by
thc Richmond Branch of the American
Tobacco Company. One thousand hogs?
heads of some of thc finest tobacco ever
raised in Virginia were loaded on trains
in this city last week and sent to Ta
coma, "Wash., where they will be piaced
on steamers and carried to Japan.

Thc remains of Mrs. Elizabeth Pettit
Cutler were yc-sterday afternoon in?
terred in the section of Lee Camp, Con?
federate Veterans, iu Hollywood Ceme?
tery. So ended the last chapter ot the
life of this unusual woman, who, though
at one time possessed- of wealth, died
here in poverty and want. Ou account
of her fricndshlp and assistanee to Con?
federate prisoners in Northern prisons'
and particularly at Elmira. X. V., dur?
ing the Civil War, she had been for some
time in a measure supported by the
Lee Camp. and at her death it was at
their request that this friend of tho Con?
federate be laid at rest among the bod
ie_ of those she loved in life.
Mrs. Cutler was at one time an author
css of note, and for many years drew a
pension from the Appleton Publishing
Company, from work of her earlier days.
but with the failure of that firm even
this was cut ol'f, and.her Iast cent of a
once great fortunc was gone. While liv?
ing iu New York during the Civil War
she befrieuded Confederate soidiers in
prison there. Being a Virginia n and
true to the cause of the South, she aided
thc poor, half-clothed Cohfederates with
her wealth and plenty, and in a meas?

A New Catarrh Cure Sccures Naiioaal
Popularity in Less Than One Year.
Throughout a great nation of eighty
million it is a desperate struggle to se
oure even a. recognition for a new ar?
ticle, to say nothing of achieving popular
favor. and yet within ono year Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets, thc new catarrh cure,
has met with such success that to-day
it can be found in every drug store
throughout the United States and Can?
ada.
To bc' sure, a large amount of ad?
vertising v;as necessary in the lirst in
stance to bring the remedy to the atten?
tion of the public, but every one familiar
with the subject knows that advertising
alone never made any article permanent
ly sucecssuil. lt must havo in addition
absolute, unueniablo merit, and' this tiie
new catarrh c_ro certainly possesses in
a marked dosree.
Physicians, who formerly depended up?
on inhalers. sprays and local washes or
ointments, nov/ use Stuart's Catarrh
Tab'.ets because, as one of the most
