Why, this is something unusual in
the clothing business? Entirely so. No
dodge about it. No cheap gift thun-
der about it. No old stock spIutter
about it. Our purpose isn't to be gained
in that way. This is genuine out and
out honest sale, caused by an unforeseen
accident. Hardship to us or not, the
stock must be sold. All goods will be
sold at exactly one-half the marked
prices. We intend to sell now and
quick, and lose whatever profit it costs.
Bring back what doesn't please for ex-
change or a return of money.

THECAMPANINI OPERATIC CONCERT.
An Evening With Great Artists and
Grand Melodies.

An IEcHihg WIN p''"' h''''' ""'
Grand Melodies.
Bv far the largest audience OF the sea
sOn-even larger than that attracted by
the Booth Barrett CombinatiOn-crowd
ed the Theatre last evening TO listen L
Italy's sweet music as sung by some o.
her foremost singers The programme
which was carried ont to the letter
ab0unded with the very best operate selec
tions; ani in tie hands Of the Campanin
Company, Richmond has never heard
the flowing, melOdiOus strains OF The
Italian school better sung
Nine Gerstcr, in her first solo, showed
a little limidity, as she would naturally
do, having suffered az she has recently
from nervous prOstration, but in her
other numbers she came out with some
of her old time vim and exactness. II
must be admitted, however, that both her
self and Campanini, though still fine
singers, a t but shadows of their former
greatness.
Signor Campanini sang the Salye
Dimora" from Faust with nicely Of
phrasing but with lack of fire and feel
ing. His singing is still model which
many Of our opera tenOrs might initiate
to their advantage With both Cam
panini and Gersler, the audience was
pleased but the honors of the evening
fell TO Nine. Scalchi. There are, in
the lyric 4, mament, great tcnors, great
prima donnas and great bassOs, but there
is but one contralto, and that one the
finished, artislic and bell voiced
Scalchi This great singer imprcsses
her hearers from the first note
with her ease and skill, AMI in all her
singing, whether Of theme or OF S0.ftggt,
She is ever the artistic and her voice one
of flexible sweetness and power Too
much cannot be said of her wonderful
work, but To the praise which all cOun-
tries and the foremost musical Judges
have accorded her we can but add our
feeble expression of enthusiasm and per
feet delight in her soulful mastery rendi-
tiOn of her cOuntry's ilorid music. Both
numbers, the "Cince" from Semiraneide,
and the Pages Song" from Huguenots,
received deafening applause, and to the
last demonstration she responded with a
dainty little Neapoltan song.
Signori Galassi and COrsuri made fine
Impressions, the former with his desery-
edy famous baritone singing, and the
latter with his Italian buifo songs, the
pithiness of which, however, we were
unfortunately at a loss to discover, owing,
perhaps, to our Ignorance OF the language.
The violin Faving OF Signorina Tori
celli was genuine treat, and this little
lady's tone, technique and phrasing was
marvellous and fascinating.
The announcement that this company

drove rapidly through the principal
streets. Only one stop was made, and
that was at Telfair Academy of Arts and
Sciences A few minutes were spent in
looking at the pictures, and the party re-
turned to their carriages. The route
was circuitous, and afforded the same
crowd an opportunity Of cheering the
President many times as he passed. The
drive was eight miles long, and, with the
stop, was made in fifty minutes. The
Presidents carriage was drawn by four
white horses. The cavalry escort was
kept at a'gallop. The houses along the
route were elaborately decorated. The
President literally did Savannah in an

II the average citizen OF Richmond had
not known that yesterday was the birth
day Of the Father of His Country he
would scarcely have found 1t out from
the appearance OF matters and things In
general in the city.
The Legislature held its session as
usual, and the only allusion made to ma
tivity Pdtris Pdtria was when the Mount
Vernon Avenue Association bill lreported
elsewherc) came up in the Senate, and
Senator Moore incidentally paid an elo-
quent tribute TO Virginia's great son In
his speech advocating the measure under
consideration.
The banks were all closed, and the
holders of notes falling due were, on that
account, forcibly reminded that the day
was National holiday.
In the afternoon the community was
more demonstrative. The Richmond
Light Infantry Blues paraded, and as
they marched through the straets pre-
sented very handsome appearance.
This was the only representation of our
citizen soldiery that honored the occa-
sion. Taken altogether, Washington :
birthday was never more quietly OBJ
served anywhere.

state that there was such an agreement
made, but Sully's friends say positively
that he has not resigned. Whether he
will do so later on or no, is matter to be
decided after his return to this city,
