They are very appropriately named, being designed for the wives, mothers, daughters and sisters of Washington. They are built on sensible lines— have heavy soles for walking. Being as near waterproof as it is possible to make there is no need for rubbers. Are shown in lace and button styles—and in the broad English shapes, which are pronounced proper by fashion leaders—and in all leathers, such as kid or kid with cloth tops, patent leather, etc.” We’ve marked them $4 a pair—though they’re _ easily worth a dollar more. Here is a new line of fall shoes for women which we shall run as a leader at $2.48. The styles are extremely hand- some—but we're especially proud of the quality and splen- did workmanship offered for the money. They are in all the new and most stylish fall shapes. For the men folks we have a new line of fall and winter shoes, which has no equal any- where in this city. These are of the most exclusive sort— the swell “English” styles so much fancied by well dressed men. They have wide heavy soles—in several shades of tan and also patent leather— some calf lined. The new “College” footwear we are showing has been pro- nounced the swellest in the city. The next time you're down town don’t fail-to come in and see them. Shoes shined free.

Bresnehan wiil be on the rubber in the first game and McJames in the second. The great series at Baltimore begins to- day between the Beaneaters and Orioles. The birds arrived home from New York Yesterday morning, and the Bostons reached Baltimore in the afternoon. Rain prevented the game arranged between them and the Orange Athletic Club at Orange, N. J. Umpires Emslie and Hurst will do the arbitration act,which insures the Bea1- eaters a fair show and no favorites. The Louisvilles ran against a snag yes- terday at Detroit, when the home club trounced the Colonels to the tune of 14 to 12. The Cincinnatis also received the same medicine at Mansfield, Ohio, when the home club defeated the Reds by the score of 12 to 7. Breitenstein pitched for the visitors. The Baltimore sporting people do not seem to have much confidence in their team, as they will bet only even money on the contest. Corbett and Robinson will be Baltimore’s battery, while Nichols and Bergen will play the same positions for Boston. The New York World today says that Jack Doyle, tlie first baseman of the Bal- timore team, and former manager of the New Yorks, has been secured by President Byrne and Manager Barnie, and will play next season with Brooklyn. The deal was negotiated yesterday. It is said that Captain Hugh Duffy of Boston may be deposed next year and Fred Tenney, whose grand stand playing has caught the Boston crowds, will he made field commander. It is reported that Dayton, Ohio, wants a National League franchise. It had better get a minor league franchise first and see if it can support a team at all. Manager Stallings, it is said, is going to put Second Baseman Butler and Third Baseman Elberfeld, the latter from Rich- mond, right into harness in some of the closing sames this year, to see what they can do. Outfielder Becker ‘of the Texas League will join the Cincinnatis at Indianapolis. He comes from the same place as Gettman, the Washington hitter. After the game Wednesday President Soden of Boston thanked Umpire Lynch for his efficiency in conducting the game in that city this season. Lynch replied that his good fortune was wholly due to the fair treatment all umpires receive from the Boston _ press. McAllister of Cleveland pitched a game or two this season and did good work. He caught several good games and has played right and center field, first base and short stop—all very creditably. McAllister fs a versatile young man, but he cannot bat, and there is the trouble. Nine lovers of the game want Boston to win to one for Baltimore. Boston has at- tained its high position by fair and sports- manlike methods. The players have won all their games strictly on their merits. They have treated visiting teams with the utmost consideration, and have not brow- beaten and bulldozed umpires into giving them the best of it. Everybody is “pull- ing’ for the Bostons, but they are up against a very strong game. The following players made up Manager Selee’s outfit as he left for Baltimore Wed- nesday evening on the 6:45 train; Be Lake and Yeager, Nichols, Kloby, Lewis, Stivetts, Tenney, Lowe, Long, Collins, Allen, Duffy, Hamilton and Stahl. All the boys were in good shape and delighted at the chance to show their speed. “Silver” Flint, who never wore a mask, glove or protector, caught 833 games in thirteen years.—Numerous exchanges. Hold. This item has gone far enough. It is not true. Silver Flint, in the earlier part of his career, may have caught bare-hand- ed and bare-faced, but he caught twenty championship games with a mask, gloves and protector to one without them. The has been in vogue a good many years. Along in 1874 It was put on the mar- ket. Silver caught more games since 1874 than he did before it. ‘These are some of the Western League piayers who, according to report, will enter the National League next year: Manager Watkins of Indianapolis is to manage a big league team, Goar, Phillips and Mc- Farland are to go to Cincinnati, McCarthy to Cincinnati or Chicago, Gray to Pittsburg, Stewart to Louisville, Motz to St. Louis. All these are from Indianapolis. From De- troit Cincinnati fs said to want Steinfeldt and Hahn. McBride of St. Paul is wanted by Chicago, Cincinnati and Pittsburg. Gan- zel of Grand Rapids, brother of the Boston veteran, will go to Pittsburg, and Mertes is likely to go back to Philadelphia.

How the Baltimore hood- lums will kick and how the Rush for Tickets in Baltimore. There has been tremendous pressure brought to bear upon the management of the Baltimore club to open the sale for the reserved seats for the Boston series. The Management did not propose opening the sale until today, but finally consented to open the sale yesterday. At 9 o'clock the sale began, and at that time there was a long line formed at the door, with officers to keep order and_ to keep out specaintérs. The 2,060 resér¥eli” seats were sold before noon. For the other games thé'‘seats will not be sold before the day, of the game, as those. who have already purchased ‘will have the preference, ‘should rain prevent today’s game.

The team has been selected’ and a number of the dates been decided upon. Harry Parker, Danny Friend and “Chick” Frazer, a Colonel, will alternate in the box and in the right and center fields. “Billy” Moran will be the backstop. Jimmy Ryan will preside at. the initial, eushion, Jimmy Connor will’ work at! second, and Barry McCormick will cover third. Art Ball of the Minneapolis team will play at short. Capt. Fred Clarke of the Coloneis will play in left field. —_.——— Conference Chooses Lay Delegates. ‘The Methodist conference, which is being held at Harmen, Md.,.resumed the con- sideration of business yesterday. Rev. L. L. Lioyd of Gaithersburg preached on a double text, but devoted most of his re- marks to the subject: “Sunday school work. Its methdéds and scope.” A great deal of routine business was dis- posed of during the morning session. Pas- tors in charge at Reisterstown, Montgomery, Patuxent, Townshend, Lingonore, Rock- ville Central, Laurel, Emory, Beltsville and Forest Grove reported progress in Epworth League. Rev. W. L. Melville of Hyattsville .. dis; cussed the “Place of the Pastor of the League.” Rev. L. S. Lloyd also-teok part in this discussion. The business session of the afternoon was taken up in the election of lay delegates to the annual conference. Col. Robert Magruder and W. F. Carr of Freedom cireuit were elected on the first ballot; R. O. Shepley of Wesley Grove circuit, was elected on the second ballot, and G. H. Lamar of Rockville on the fifth ballot. > John Klogg Used His Cane. An elderly man named John Klogg went into a store on Pennsylvania avenue yes- terday afternoon and asked Mr. August Gregers for some money. When refused, Klogg used his cane on the man who re- fused him, but without inflicting much damage. Then when Policeman Payne ar- rested him he turned on the officer, but was soon relieved of his cane and locked up. He was under the influence of liquor. “I came here from Philadelphia,” he told Judge Kimball this morning. . “For what?” the judge inquired. “To look after my pension,” was the’re- sponse. “And he’s been here before,” added the officer.

Horace ‘L. Chapman, Candidate for “Governor, and Other Prominent Party Leaders Speak at Columbus. The silver cemccrats opened their state campaign in Ohio yesterday. In each county they held a meeting, and the chief gathering took place in Columbus last night. The speakers were Horace L. Chap- man, candidate for governor; Congressman John J. Lentz, Mayer James A. Rice of Canton, General A. J. Warner and Allen W. Thurman. After a few remarks on the tariff Mr. Chapman sounded the keynote of the campaign in the fotlowirg remarks: _ “Money, whether metallic or paper, is the creature of law, and its measuring power of every other species of property is determined by the amourt in circula- tion and the demand for it. On this ques- tion my position is well known. I am in favor of the restoration of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 without waiting for the permission or consent of any other coun- try, believing that we are able to main- tain our own financial policy. I am in favor of only three kinds of money—gol4, silver and legal tender treasury notes—for all debts, public and private. In support of my views I quote from prominent re- publican statesmen, who expressed their convictions upon this subject in language stronger ard more impressive than I can use. William McKinley said on the floor of the House .of Representatives June 24, 1890: ‘I am for the largest use of silver in the currency of the country.’ “Secretary Sherman said, as published in his speeches and reports of ‘Finance and Taxation,’ April 11, 1876: ‘The two metals have kept together with remarkable near- ness, and it is said, with great force, it seems to me, that to adopt the gold stand- ard alone and demonetize silver would be to deprive the people of the world of the money which alone measures the value of their production and of their labor.’ “In a speech delivered by Senator J. B. Foraker at Jackson, Ohio, March 6, 1895, he said: ‘We believe in bimetallism in the Sense that silver shall be more than credit money. It must be again made a money of ultimate redemption, and as such take its place aiongside of gold.’ “In conclusion, let the freemen of Ohio, ho matter of what political party, rise in their might at the polls and crush that monster—bribery—which threatens to tear down our form of government, and with it the teachings of honor, virtue and patriot- ism, which we have so long revered. With an honest ballot at the coming election we will win a great and glorious victory and emulate the virtues of Paulding, Van Wert and Williams.’” ———__++____ LESS LOSS OF LIFE. Traveling by Steamboat Has Been Made Much Safer Than Formerly. . The annual report of the supervising in- 'Sp2ctor general of the steamboat inspection service to the Secretary of the Treasury for the fiscal year is of unusual interest. It shows a steady decrease in the loss of life from steamboat travel. In fact, the loss of life on steamboats is much smaller than traveling in other ways. It is even probably safer than horseback riding or carriage travel. It is estimated that during the year 650,- 000,000 passengers were carried on steam vessels. The total number of accidents re- sulting in loss of life during the year was 26. The total number of lives lost from these accidents was 183, a decrease from the previous year of 38. Of the number of lives lost 46 were passengers and 137 be- longed to the crews of the vessels. Since January 1, 1871, to June 30, 1897, the average annual loss of life has been 239. The loss of life during that time has averaged one to each steamer in service. An average of 450,000,000 passengers has been carried each year for the period men- tioned. The loss of hfe has been one to each 1,882,845 persons, far less than on rail- roads and other carriages. In 1851, when the matter of steamboat inspection was first agitated, the loss of dife was one per- son to every 56,000 passengers carrried. The average annual number of steamers inspected since 1871 is 5,673. During the |Past fiscal year the number of steamers in- Spected was $,327—G52 being on the Pacific coast, 3,791 on the Atlantic coast, 1,016 on western rivers, ” on northern lakes and 619 on the gulf coast. To run this number of vessels 40,452 officers were licensed. The total number of certificates of in- spection issued to vessels propelled by steam, gas, fluid, naphtha or electric mo- tors, foreign and domestic, was 8, The number of certificates to foreign passenger vessels was 305, an increase over the fiscal year of 5. The increase in certificates of inspection to domestic vessels was 3 During the year there were employed in the service 175 persons, the salaries of whom was $285,138.42. The contingent ex- Penses was $56,404.39, a decrease from the previous year of $11,063.81. Foreign steam vessels inspected during the year were: British, 174; German, 33; French, 18; Norwegian, 14; Dutch, 13; Bel- gian, Spanish, 6; Nicaraguan, 5; Jap- anese, 5; Danish, 4; Portyguese, 3; Ha- waiian, 1.

Financtal Statement Railway Company for P: The financial statement of the Southern Railway Company for the fiscal year end- ing June 30, 1897, which has just been is- saved, makes what is regarded in business circles as a fine showing, and as an indica- tion that the whole south is in an excep- ticnally prosperous condition. The gross earnings of the company for the year were $19,079,500, and the net in- crease in income, as compared with the Previous year, amounted to $313,869.

A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun from Richmond, Va., last night, says: The democratic campaign in Virginia was for- mally opened here tonight. Major J. Hoge Tyler and Messrs. Edward E. Echols and A. J. Montague, the three nominees on the state ticket, were all present and made ad- dresses. The meeting was held in the Audi- torium building, which is nearly a mile out of the corporate limits. On account of this distance and the unfavorable condi- ticns of the weather the audience was not as large as was expected. What was lack- ing in numbers was made up in enthusi- asm. There were a number of visiting democrats of prominence, including Speak- er Ryan of the house of delegates. A good many well-known gold democrats were in attendance. On the stage were about one hundred democrats, among them being Representative Lamb, Speaker Ryan, Major Taylor and the local nominees for the leg- islature. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Powhatan Club and was called to order by President Jefferson Wal- lace, who made a ten minutes’ address, which aroused considerable enthusiasm, es- pecially his reference to Wm. J. Bryan. State Chairman J. Taylor Ellyson was pre- sented to preside. Major Tyle rival for pe nomination was given a rousing recep- ion. Major Tyler warned the democrats against overconfidence due to the inactivity of their opponents. He devoted his re- marks mainly to a criticism of the Dingley tariff and a comparison of it with the Wil- scn bill. He claimed the latter, though very imperfect, was vastly more favorable to the farmer and all other producers than is the present tariff. He cited figures to show that the trade balance under the Wil- sen bill was the largest ever known in our favor. Mr. Echols, the nominee for lieutenant governor, followed Major Tyler. He made a fine impression on the audience. Mr. Echols did not go into a discussion ef the currency question, but devoted most of his time to presenting the claims of democracy as @ party that has proved safe in admin- istering the government. He made a plea for the public schools. Mr. Montague, who is one of the best stump speakers in Virginia, got a rousing reception. He was in fine voice and his re- marks greatly pleased the audience. He started out by advocating retrenchment and reform in the administration of the government and next took up the question of better roads, saying that he hoped and believed the legislature would adopt some p:an by which the public highways may be improved. It remained for Mr. Montague to make the principal talk on the currency question. He is a strong advocate of the free coinage of silver, and et some length presented his arguments. This part of his address seem ed to please the audience more than any- thing else. ———_—_e.—___» NOBLE SAILOR ON THE OLYMPIA. Son of Sir John Coventry Said to Be on.the Cruiser.

Major Alexandcr Shaw, who for a number of years previcus to the passing of the Baltimore and Ohio ratlroad into the hands of receivers was chairman of the finance committee of the board of directors of that company, and who for some weeks had teen in England for the purpose of con- sulting with the foreign holders of . Balti- more and Ohio securities, passed through Washington on his way to his country home, near Cumberland, Md., yesterday afternoon. . It is understood that a meeting of the Baltimore reorg: nization committee of the Baltimore and Ohio Company, with whom it_is generally understood Messrs. J. P. Morgan & Co. are in sympathy, will soon be held, and at this meeting Major Shaw will make a report of the sentiments of the for- eign stockholders regarding the proposed reorganization of the Baltimore and Ohio. Referring to the future of the Baltimore and Ohio Company, Major Shaw is reported to have said that in English financial cir- cles there is much interest in the company affairs, end that he found an improve: ment in the feeling toward American in- vestments, and London financiers showed faith in the prosperity of this country. Continuing, Major Shaw said, as quoted: No appreciable apprehension seemed to be felt of the free coinage of silver, and the belief was that the good times which this country has entered upon would shelve this question, at least for the present, as a disturbing element in business. “The English investors took advantage of the advances in the prices of stocks to return to this country a large amount of their holdings of this class, in place of gold, to pay bal nces in trading. They, however, retained American bonds, and it is my opin- ion that the steady betterment of business in this coustry will again make the English large buyers of American stocks. “It was the belief of many English finan-. ciers thet if this country had held on to its wheat a little longer, even better prices would have been commanded by reason of the short crops in Europe.” $2.00 tlantic C AND RETURN Without Change of Cars.
