You have got to hurry now. Into a single day you have got to crowd a great deal of shopping for the boys and girls who start to school on Monday. You can do it all here. The shoes, the dresses, the suits, the separate pants and the shirt waists and fur- nishings are all here, and you can save money by coming here for them. A word about shoes. This is one of the shoe stores which is going to succeed in building up a profitable shoe business. We have the capital—we have a shoe buyer and manager who knows the market thor- oughly and who knows shoes perfectly. Every pair of shoes we sell are guaranteed, that is, every pair of shoes are backed by the surety of another pair free if they go wrong—if they rip or break before the soles wear through. We haven't been selling shoes for a quarter of a century and when we have we shall show you the largest shoe business in this city. We have taken a more rapid road to success than some of the old shoe houses, for proof of which just see the trade we have built up in just a week—big enough to worry the life out of some of them. Rest assured only the most “dependable” shoes shall enter here, and no matter how low the price they shall be worth your buying.

ATTITUDE GENERALLY CONDEMNED Old Lady of Threadneedle Street Accused of Financial Flirtation. NO SILVER RESERVE WANTED LONDON, September 17.—The Westmin- ster Gazette this afternoon in its financial article comments upon the letter of the governor of the Bank of England, Mr. Hugh C. Smith, to the chancellor of the exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, an- nouncing that the bank !s prepared to carry out what is permissible in its char- ter, namely, to hold in silver one-fifth of the bullion held against its note issue, provided always that the French mint is again open to the free coinage of silver and that the prices at which silver is pro- curable and salable are satisfactory. The newspaper mentioned says: “Although the governor's statement is* perkaps meaningless so far as practice is concerned, it is to be deeply deplored that the bank has budged from its principles. It is not dignfied for the old lady of Threadneedle street to flirt with the bimet- allic faddists. We want gold against our notes, and there is no reason why an old statute, pagsed when silver bore an en- tirely different character, should be refur- bished at the bidding of those who want to dispose of silver. The bank’s resi is not so large that it can be tinkered with. Moreover, by yielding in these matters of principle we open the way to the thin edge of the wedge. If the threat is carried out what would happen is exemplified by the statement of a trustee, who declares he would feel compelled to sell his bank stock, and so close a risk.” St. Jumes Gazette’s Comment. The St. James Gazette says on tae same subject: “The scheme seems to be knocked on the head for the present; but the reception of even this feeble announcement in the city will have an effect anything but favorable io the bimetalli A substantial element of indignation ses at the fee the government and the hank ha doinz a litde diplomacy at our and for the advantage of Americans. United States has done nothing” to make risky politeness to the silver men on our part popular in this countr: The Giobe, joining in the discu: afternoon, has t ment of the govi land: “The whole sion this to say on the announce- nor of the Bank of Eng- scheme is innovating and mischievous. It seems to us wholly un- desirable and even perilous to subject our monetary system to foreign influence through ihe goverament. If, as should have been done, the proposals of the United States and France have been handed to the directors without official recommendation or pressure, it can scarcely be doubted that the directors would have firmly declined to further the project.” Protest of the Thunderer. The London Times, commenting editor- ially this morning on the letter, says: “As the same influences have been at werk in France as here in relation to the currency reserve, the reopening of the French mints is, perhaps, within the limits of possibilities, though we doudt whether the action of the Bank of Engl: can be in any case a determining factor. “The second condition which ihe bank imposes, the condition with reference to the price of silver, is obviously more im- pcrtant. An immense responsibility would rest upon the bank officials, who must ex- ercise the right to decide what should be -| regarded as a satisfactory price of silver.” The editorial protests rongly against the policy of the bank in having consented to commit itself, though even thus limited and safeguarded. Repeating arg ticles, the Times says: “We cannot assume that the admission of a silver reserve would not detract fi the bank’s prestige abroad. It wo yery objectionable course and not at all justified by the negotiations of the ministry with the American commissioners ard the French government.” Taking credit for having Praciteally killed the plan, tine editorial concludes with the warning that the campai. will be con- “Leading Fren smen are not wholly disinclined to reopen the mints, while a vigorous attempt is being made to induce India to adopt the same course. This should not be done without serious consideration In any case, tree coinage by France, India and the United States would not justify the Bank of England in regarding silver as good as gold for re- serve. Therefore, the bank's offer can only ercourage illusory hopes, and ine secner it is allowed to laps to cblivion the bet- ter for all concerne Views of Lord Farrer. Lord Farrer writes to the Times morning in part as follows: “I learn from the best accessible infor- mation that a proposal has been made to reopen the Indian mints to silver on the understanding that the United States and France do the same at a ratio of 15% to 1. The consideration offered is that it will in- sure India a permanent and steady ex- change. “Of course, at that ratio this proposal appears to me in the highest degree ob- jectionable. First, because it puts an end to an experiment which promises to be successful; second, because it affords no substantial prospect of giving a steady, permanent exchange, which there is every prospect of attaining if the policy of 1893 is adhered to; third, because if it did suc- ceed in giving a permanent exchange at the ratio of 15% to 1, which is most im- nents used in former ar- this probable, it could only succeed by arti- ficially raising the gold value of silver throughout the world to the same extent, thus introducing, without the British parliament, all the mischief of international bimetallism at that ratio.” Lord Farrer promises on a future occa- sion to give his reasons for these conclu- sions, adding that as been for some time before the government it is desirable that public attention should be drawn to them. Absurd and Mischevious. The Standard's leading editorial deals with the letter of the governor of the Bank of England to the chancellor of the ex- chequer, and says: “A more absurb and mischevious letter has seldom been penned by a man in a position of high responsi- bility. It may be assumed that the ques- | —=————— tion was put as one means of ridding the The Busy Corner, 8th and Market Space. |S. Kann,Sons&Co.
