THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, MARCH 25, 1898-16 PAGES. By Order of the Executo: The Deepest Cutting on Record is Being Done== ===A\T==s PERRY’S. Acting under instructions given by the Executors of the estate, the store has been closed sirice 1 o’clock today, to make final reduc- tions on the remaining stock that will sweep it out with a rush and completely close up the business with all possible speed. As we told you yesterday, cost has been ignored from the first. Now the sacrifices that are being made are without the slightest con- sideration of how great the loss may be. THEY ARE PRICES THAT WILL SELL EVERY STITCH OF STOCK AT ONCE. By th.s evening the task will be completed--too late, of course, to be chronicled here in anything like a coniplete detail. But you can gain a fair idea of the enormity of the reductions from these few quotations. Let them urge a visit here tomorrow, on their own be- half--and that of all other lines throughout the house. Nothing has been overlooked in this last great slaughter. Tomorrow night’s Star and Sunday’s Post will give a fuller ac= count of this day’s cutting. . .

Rene Doumic, who will lecture at the Catholic University Saturday, is, after Brunetiere, the most incisive and best- equipped of critics in a country where crit- icism is both a science and an art. In his method he is as different from Brunitiere as Brun.tiere ts from Anatole France. His style is more full of color than that of Brunitiere, and he is so tactful that he has the art of saying the most disagreeable truths in a manner that is without offense. He possesses the best Parisian qualities without Parisian narrowness, and he has, in his lectures, shown that the life of the provinces is not altogether “provincial.” He holds that literature ts the result of in- tellectual and social forces which can be analyzed and defined. As a college profes- sor—he was professor of rhetoric in the College Stanislas for ten years—he laid the foundations for that seriousness which bases all his speech, and acquired, too, that facility in treating solid subjects grace- fully which draws such constant attend- ants to every lecture he gives in Paris. ~ _M. Doumic was born in 1860; he is mar- ried and has two children, and, according to one of his frtends, he throws his influ- ence against the opinion of many of his confreres, and declares that ‘ e is favorable to the development of talent in literary men.” His brother accompanies him during his tour in America. M. Dou- mic has been giving a series of conferences in the leading universities of the country. bea week he is at Johns Hopkins, Balti- ore. —_——__. Hucksters Crying Their Waren.

The police have been asked to locate Sid- ney Dorney, a Baltimorean, who has been missing from his boarding house, at No. 731 7th street southeast, since Sunday morning. According to the report made to the police this morning, Dorney came here from Baltimore a short time ago and se- cured a position as machinist in the navy yard. He was at work Saturday, and was about his boarding house Sunday morning. About 8:30 o'clock he went out for a walk and did not return. His failure to appear at work Monday morning caused some comment, and his friends here immediately communicated with relatives of the miss- ing man in Baltimore. It was learned that Dorney had not returned to that city. The missing man had been sick, and it was thought he had probably been sent to a hospital for treatment, but his name does not appear on any of the hospital rec- ords. He is described as being forty-two years old, nearly 6 feet tall and weighing about 160 pounds. When last seen he was wearing a plaid suit and black derby hat. He has light hair and mustache. — Luther, His Life and Work. Mr. D. N.

Bill in the Hands of the President Amending Law. The approval by the President of the bond forfeiture bill of Judge Kimball will make a decided change In the matter of accepting professional bondsmen about the Police Court. The practice of some of the attorneys and bondemen was deemed ob- Jectionable, and the judge found it neces- Bary to have something done for the relief of prisoners, as well as for the prozection of the court. The bill he suymitted, and which was passed by Congress, provides “that the Police Courts of the District of Columbia shall have power to issue executions cn all {crfeited recognizances, upon motion of the proper prosecuting ofiicer; and hereafter ail writs of fier: facias, cr other writs of exe- cution on judgments, issued by the Police Court of the District of Columbia, shall be directed to and executed by the marshal of ¢ District of Columbia Under the old vagrancy law the sum of the bond required was $20, and in such cases professional bondsmen, it is raid, reaped a harvest because of the fact that the amount of the bond was so smail as to involve but little risk The act of INt2 in- ascd the amount of bond and crir business to some extent. A practice had been engaged in by members of the bar and bondsmen, it is al- leged, of surrendering persons several days after giving bond, but the return of ‘he meney paid did not accompany the sur- render. ‘The present act affects bonds given in ¢ll cases before the Poiice Court, and its pro- visions will be hereafter strictly e ed. Because of a failure to collect on forfeit- ed bonds during past years, the District, it is said, lost many thousands of doilars. BOND Nom ‘onfirmed.
