We are not in the habit of bragging—but we can honestly say that if everybody knew as much about “HAHN'S FALL SHOES” as we do we would sell nearly all the Shoes to be worn in Washington this fall. We know that those who buy their Shoes elsewhere before looking at ours will be wasting Shoe money. We contracted for double our usual quantity of Shoes long ago, when leather was very much lower in price than it is now—aind in consequence there are no other Shoes for Tremendous Bargains in Hat Trimmings.

HODGKIN, So We shall be headquarters for the most exclusive styles in Gloves again this season, for the same reason we have been heretofore—qualities—varieties--and prices. You know we wiil have only the best. You know we will have the lead- ing imported and domestic makes that have merit in their works to recommend them. You know we will place them on sale at the lowest possible prices. We are going to inaugurate the first Glove Saturday of the season by some special mentionings of lines selected from the best known Glovers of the world. We shall call them by name—for they are names to be proud of. They stand first in the minds of all who know the value of good Gloves. We shall name some prices that are cheap. But the Gloves are above any such suspicion. It will be a good time to study the new styles. And if— as is most likely—you find yourselves “ashore” for present- able handwear you can supply the need to the greatest satisfac- tion—and not a little saving.

Charles Hammond, who claims to be a mirer from Kentucky, and also says he 1s the father of Randall Hammond, the boy viho was arrested a few days ago at the request of Sanitary Officer Frank for using his name in begging on the street, was to- day before Judge Kimball on a charge of vagrancy, and in default of $100 bond was committed to the workhouse for three months. Judge Kimball informed the ac cused that if it appears upon further in- vestigation that his claim of having a brother in Charlotte, N.C., is true he wilh be released and furnished with transporta- tion to that point. The defendant claimed that he reached Washington September 12 from Kentucky, and, being without means, could not pro- ceed further, and allowed his son to go out on the street and beg for money, hoping to secure enough to pay for tickets for beth to their destination. The court was informed that an investi- gation by Detective Muller disclosed that Hammond was in Washington all of Au- gust, and that Inspector Mattingly ani Sanitary Officer Frank had learned from Chief of Police Smith of Alexandria that Hammond was known in that city as a “bum.” Judge Kimball then took the ac- tion above stated. ——— MR. WOODS RETIRES. Will No Longer Prosecute Suit for Restoration to Office. Mr. F. H. Stephens of counsel for John G. Woods of Louisville, Ky., stated to a Star reporter today that Mr. Woods’ case against the Postmaster General and the first assistant postmaster general will no longer be prosecuted. ey This ‘is the case, it will be recalled, in which Mr. Woods sought by injunction to preven: the Post Office Department officials from removing him from the position of superintendent of mails in the Louisville Post office, to which he was appointed in 1893, Mr. Woods contending that his re- moval was in violation of the civil service act of 1833, and the rules and amendménts thereunder, approved by ex-President Cleveland and President McKinley. Judge Cox, as fully reported in The Star at the time, denied the injunction, holding that the power to appoint subordinate officials of the government carries with it the power of removal, and that the courts are without jurisdiction in the matter, and cannot, therefore, interfere. Mr. Stephens is of the opinion that Mr. Woods will appeal to the President, be- lieving that Mr. Justice Cox would be sus- tained by the appellate courts, should he carry the case before them on appeal, as was first intended. -_-——_— Again in the Tolls. Frank Eskridge, the colored man who ‘was yesterday acquitted by a jury in the United States branch of the Police Court of the charge of assault, was today ar- raigned before Judge Kimball on charges ot disorderly conduct and disorderly as- sembly. At the request of his counsel, James H. Smith, the cases were continued ‘until some day next week. — The Best Equipment.
