This weeks advertisement is specially de-
voted to the gentler sex, and we have de-
cided to mark our goods still lower, so they
nay be in reach of all.
We pride ourselves on the particular fine
fitting qualities of our Shoes, which we
claim is surpassed by none and equaled by
few. Nothing looks so bad as an ill-fitting
Shoe, and nothing is prettier than foot en-
cased in a moud-like form. Some think
that to get perfect fit it is necessary to
buy an expensive article in the shoe line {;
this is a grievOus error, for We not only
guarantee fit, but can fit you just as per
fectly in a 81 80 or SO Shoe. as you can buy
in any store for s. or So. Our Ladies me-
dunn grade Shoes have as fine worknen
employed lasting them. as are usually put
ON the very finest Shoes; consequently. by
buying our popular grades you can get
equally as well-made and fitted a Shoe from
us as any other store can give you for
double the price.
We are still giving away Bank of Can

Creditors Getting Hold OF All the
Property They Can.


There was practically no change yester-
day in the Weisbein wreck. A number of
those who had issued attachment were dis
posed to contest the legality of the sale Of
the large lot OF goods bought OF Mr.. Lichten-
stein by the representatives of II. B. Clafiin

for with the debt of Weisbein to those

received notification from his house that
Melsbeins paper went 70 protest in New
York on last Tuesday and that he came to
Savannah Immediately and bought the
goods, as has been stated, regularly, after
carefully selecting and invoicing them. He
was compelled to give Forthcoming bond
for them yesterday, which he did, and re-
moved the goods to another building.
The other creditors, through the magis-
trates and constables. are holding on to
whatever they can. An opinion was ex-
pressed yesterday that enough will be saved
from the wreck TO greatly relieve the home
creditors.

they differ from most Officiating stoves, as
they have a removable heating drum. and

THE CENTRAL INTERESTED.
It's Probable Subscription to the New
Hotel Scheme

Hotel Scheme.
At the meeting of the directors of the
Central railroad on Monday the matter of
subscribing to the stock of the new hotel
was presented and was favorably considered.
A committee, consisting of Messrs. Swami
and Lehman, was appointed TO consider the
matter and report to a meeting of
the board 70 be held i'll New
York. Last night Mr.. H. NJ. Conner and
and Capt. w. w Gordon had an interview
with Messrs. Swami and Lehman at the
Screven House. The committee expressed
itself very well pleased with the idea of
Savannahs having a new hotel and also
thought it would be beneficial to the rail
roads as well as to the city. They said that
the Central will undoubtedly aid the enter
prise, but to what extent they were not
prepared TO say. Mr. Swami said
that the company would doubtless take
a sufficient amount of stock TO cover the
freight bills in material coming over its
lines or those of the Ocean Steamship Com
pany.
The Hotel Committee urged a sub
scription of so, 600 but could not secure
definite pledge from the Centrals represen-
| tatives. 1t is thought that the company
will take about SIS, 900 in stock.

store, on Bay street. Mr. J. G. Pournell a
clerk, usually opens the store in the morn

THE EARL OUT FOR A HUNT.
The Young Noblemar and His Chap

The Young NoblemaE and His Chap
lain Try Their Hand at the Birds.
The Earl Of Craven and his chaplain, the
Rev. Mr. Stavert, still tarry in Savannah,
and their faces are becoming familiar with
the habitues of the Pulaski House They
spend most of their time in each others
society. They took a hunt yesterday
chaperOned by Charles Wescott and though
they didn't bring down much game, they
succeeded in Willing away several hours
pleasantly The party drove to a hunting
field about miles out of the city, but only
a few coveys of birds were started Wescott
says that both the Earl and his chaplain are
good shots.
A little zest was given the occasion by a
slight accident. The Earl, seated in the
carriage, was exhibiting the intricacieS of
his fowllng piece to gaping countryman
when, just like any ordinary United States
Of America shotgun wnen careleSsly han
died, it went off. The driver was not on his
seat, and the horses started The chaplain
leaped out, just a. the second barrel went
off, and the horses struck into a run. They
would have played havoc with the carriage
and its occupants had not Mr.. Wescott
reached out and with one hand scotche6 a
wheel which enabled the driver to catch up
and regain his seat and control of the ami
mails.
The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger saws that the Earl
sled his digniied and scholarly tutor quite

he was asked, and everywhere that Craven
went Stavert had to go 1t looked rather
queer to see Stavents clerical figure among
the wall-fowers at a dancing party, and 1t
probably was as queer to Stavert as il
looked. The incongruOus combination was
not, however, OF their own making. Craven
