has some produce which he wishes to

thing he does is to call up the mer-

secure for his product. If the prices
are satisfactory and after consulting
several of the merchants he brings it

secures the trade, for giving the best

competition to be of the best interest

invention the telephone that is. if it

Some men think it is the best economy to buy
five dollar shoes. Some prepare to pay two dol
lars and put dollars No. in THE BANK. Every
is entitled to his private opinion
We believe that if your occupation is such that
you give shoe just ordinary, average wear you will
put more money in the bank each year, if you will
stick to the medium priced shoe right along. Ii
you buy $500 (and remember have the best two
dollar shoes in the city, shoes you will not get as
durable and dressy shoes, and they will become
shady sooner. They probably won't stay up to your
requirement two thirds as long our SO or $3.50
shoes, on the other hand, if you pay four or five
dollars and again want to remind you that we
sell the best four and five dollar shoes in the world
you will put the extra dollar two largely into adj
ditional style and into finer grade of leather, they
may be trife more comfortable and they will be
more stylish, but they probably wont wear much
longer than SO or $3.50 shoe. For the greatest
possible pecuniary economy buy our medium priced
shoe Will guarantee satisfaction. We have the

He rushed up the main stairway, kick

of his voice. Most of the guests We're

them got out safely with the exception
of the seven victims and three others
who have not yet been located, but
who are believed to be safe.
In addition to the hotel three sta

native who was recently excommuni.I
Gated by the Catholic church, has been
made bishop of the Philippine Islands.
Fourteen junior bishops and large
lay council have been named. The lat.
ter includes Felipe Buencamino, oneI

Pascual Poblete has taken the presi-

Several native priests who were
named bishops have declined to accept.
1t is expected that Governor Taft will
decline his honorary presidency when
he hears of his appointment.
Opinion here as to the growth and
effect of this movement is divided. In
some quarters it is ridiculed, while in
others it is considered serious. Some
people say it will further upset the
political situation and create unrest
and possibly a clash between the regu-
lar Catholics and the dissenters.

CAME FROM HEAVEN

Insane American startled London
Crowd-Claimed to BE the Saviour.
LONDON, Aug. lid. III. Tanning
of New York, a cabin passenger on the
North German Lloyd steamer Frieder-
ich der Crosse, from New York, who
arrived in London Saturday, has been
taken to st. Giles infirmary under the
wandering lunatic act. Mr.. Tanning
is connected with the firm of Hass
Bros. of New York city, and his par
entS are spending the summer at New
port.
Mr.. Tanning startled the guests who
crowded the courtyard of the Hotel
Cecil at noon by driving into the court
in an automobile and declaring he was
the Saviour and had just come from
heaven on his machine. He insisted
upon shaking hands with all the guests
present until he was finally taken to
his room by the hotel porters.
Mr.. Tanning developed a mania on
the Friederich der Crosse on the way
over here. On the ship he declared
he owned all the yachts in the world.
Upon Fanning's arrival in London his
friends had difficulty to persuade him
to leave the railroad station and go to
hotel. Yesterday morning he started
in an automobile back to the railroad
station, saying he was going to run
down and kill all the pedestrians he
met on the way. He fell in with and
picked up an English lance corporal,
with whom he drove to the Hotel
Cecil.
Mr.. Tanning was known to have had
large sum of money in his pocket
book when he arrived in London. He
threw this money about the streets and
returned to the hotel penniIess.

Hanover, Aug 11.-The final round
OF the international chess masters
tournament, which was begun in this
city under the auspices of the German
Chess association on July 81, was
played this morning according to
schedule 8 of the Berger system, the
players being pitted against each 9th
er as follows:
Gottschall VS. Levin. Tschigorin VS.
Mason, Pillsbury VS. SWiderski, jan
oWski VS. Popiel, Berdeleben VS. Mieses,
Napier VS. Olland, Atkins VS. Marshall,
Gunsberg VS. Wolf, and Cohn VS.
Suechting.
When an adjournment was taken at
p. m. six games had been concluded,
the remaining three games being adj
journed in even positions. The results
of the games finished this morning
were as follows:
Gottschall won against Levin,
Tschigorin lost to Mason, Pillsbury
beat Swiderski, Janowski beat Popiel
Gunsberk went down before Wolf and
Cohn and Suechting drew. Pillsbury
thus made sure of the second prize
Janowski having won the first prize
on Saturday. The disposal of the
third prize and some of the other
prizes is still uncertain owing to the
three adjourned games. The results
of these contests will affect most OF
the prize takers
