Bon Marche, 314, 316 and 318 7th st. Are you of an economical turn of mind? A noted financier once said: “Buy when everybody wants to sell.” Buying now is one of the best of investments, for we are particularly anxious to sell in or- der to perfect fall arrangements. This is going to be a larger and better store in every way, which you'll adit is saying a great deal, for we know of none better now— considering the lines we carry. 39, 59 & 79c. SHIRT WAIST SALE. The sale began yesterday and the third floor never received more people.

She states that the work of rais- irg the fund for the repurchase of the estate from the trust company has not yet been completed, and that she is still en- gaged in that enterprise. Accompanying the statement were intimations that the trust company had forced her to leave her home witheut consideration for her condi- tion or her feelings, and publication is made of a lotter from the company to her attorneys, giving permission to store some of her furniture at Edgewood, but tnsist- ing that the property be vacated by the in- mates Mr ohn Joy Edson, president of the Washington Loan and Trust Company, said to a Star reporter today that he did not czre to enter into any controversy with Mre. Chese, for whom he had the kindest feelings. “Mrs. Chase, in her unfortunate fivanctal situation,” he sald, “deserves and should receive the sympathy and substantial aid of all. Her efforts to save her home and the heme of her father, who rendered such valuable conspicuous services to the country at a time when it most neejed them, are in the highest degree laudable. This company has aided, and wiil continue to aid, in this undertaking in every step that is consirtert, and we feel quite sure that she will succeed, not only because of the merits of the movement, but because of the intrinsic value of the property. In regard to the vacation of the property and legal possession being given to the com- pany, that was entirely In accordance with the provisions of stipulations entered into when the option was given to her to re- deem the property by February 1, 1896.” SMOOT WAS FORGIVEN. Most of the.Money Was Recovered by the Owncr. Frank P. Smoot, the defaulting clerk of Major H. L. Biscoe, the wholesale lumber dealer, will not be brought here for trial. He returned his former employer $1,700 of the $2,000 he took with him to Fort Wayne, was forgiven and will begin life anew in Chicago. A few days after Smoot left here Mr. George Bartlett, at whose house Smoot was known, gave Major Biscoe information which led him to the belief that the fugi- tive was probably in Fort Wayne, and when Major Biscoe decided to go there and make an investigation for himself he got from Inspector Hollinberger a letter of introduction to the chief of police of Fort Wayne. When the Indiana town was reached yes- terday morning it was soon learned that the fugitive was there. He had reached there Sunday night, and registered at the Wayne Hotel. Having no baggage, he de- posited $50 to cover his board bill, and then remained away from the hotel most of his time. Major Biscoe learned that he had not remained at the hotel Wednesday night, and was about to start out in search of him when he met him in the lobby. Smoot was so completely surprised that he came near fainting. Restoratives, how- ever, were not needed, for he had not spent much of the money, and the return of the cash he thought would probably prevent his arrest and tncarceraiion. When the fugitive and his former em- ployer met the latter took the former by both hands and sald: “Now, I have you. Where's my money” The details of what followed are not yet known here, but the fugitive had $1,700 of the money left, and this he gave his em- ployer. Major Biscoe telegraphed Inspector Hol- Unberger yesterday afternoon: “Trapped the bird and got most of his feathers. Leave for home today. Let up.” Smoot told his former employer that he had been drinking, and was sorry for what he had done. After he returned the money the major forgave him for what he had done, and gave him $100 with which to make another start in life. It Is thought that his wife and children will go west and join him. ——.—__ BICYCLE LAMPS, They Must Now Be Lighted at Sun- down. The matter of the hour for lighting bi- cycle lamps was officially brought to the attention of the District Commissioners this morning. At present the police regu- lations are to the effect that the lamps must be lighted promptly at sundown, but the understanding of the Commissioners seems to be that the regulation should not be enforced to the letter, but the police should use some discretion and not make trouble for riders unless it is so dark that lamps are actually necessary. Cyclers, however, feel that the police do not al- Ways use judgment in the matter, and the result of the matter will probably be that the Commissioners will make a formal change in the regulation, fixing a later and more reasonable hour. At the board meeting this morning it was stated that The Star would hereafter pub- lish the exact hour at which lamps must be in evidence each eventrg, and a de- cision was asked from the Commissioners on the point in question. The duration of twilight is a fixed time, and the suggestion was made that the time of the expiration of twilight should be adopted. Commis- sioners Truesdell and Powell both express- ed themselves as in favor of extending the time, but Maj. Powell thought that the end of twilight would make it too late, espe- cially on cloudy evenings. In providing for the lighting of streets the hour of sundown is not taken into consideration, but only the duration of twilight, and he thought that the same ‘should apply to bicycle lamps. Maj. Powell sald that he was in faver of fixing the time at thirty minutes before the expiration of twilight. The Commissioners decided, however, that until formal action is taken in the matter it would be necessary to publish sundown as the time, ———__ Can’t Locate A. G. Johnson. A telegram addressed to the mayor of Mount Pleasant, D. C., from the Toiede, Ohlo, Blade, was recelved here yesterday, announcing that A. G. Johnson of Mount Pleasant was in that city dying from in- juries received, and asked that his family be notified. Inspector Hollinberger, who made an investigation, failed to learn of any such person belonging in Mount Pleas+ ant, and so notified the Toledo newspaper, —<—_—-___ A Slight Fire.
