JOHN THE SHOEMAN.

John the Shoeman, Is a name that has
long been associated with bargains in
the shoe line and II has now become
more endeared to the feminine popula- :
ton of Providence as standing for un-
precedented values in dry gods. 1t will
be good news TO many that John has re-
sumed his already famous Remnant
sales at the new location, 303 Westmins-
ter street, opposite Grace church. This
new store when thoroughly completed
with new elevators will be one OF the
most up-to-date and convenient empo-
RUINS In the city, and numbers that could
not be accommodated In the old store will
receive every attention here. Although
the mems shoe department will remain at
No. ls4 Mathewson street, a few weeks
longer the women's and children's de-
partments are most splendidly located,
and greatly enlarged in the new estab-
lishment on the street floor.
The dry goods are on the second floor
which is reached by easy stairs in the
rear of the shoe department. New feat
ures will be added on the third and fourth
floors when the elevator is completed. A
visit to John the Shoeman on Thursday
and Friday will prove to your entire sat
isfaction the truth Of his advertising and
also many grand values which are not
mentioned In the advertisement through
lack OF space.
Remember the FIRST 500 purchasers of
50 cents worth OF more on Thursday and
Friday will be presented with a valuable
box OF merchandise

Rhody" was as Is usual IN evidence.
John ]. Heffernan of oneyville, carried
away a prize OF $25 for securing second
place In the second year class. which
numbers almost one hundred members.
The young man deserves great cridit
for winning such a coveted prize in view
OF the number Of able competitors and
also dn view Of the fact that much OF
his time during the day Il occupied In
attending to the mubtitudious correspon-
dence Of Admiral Dewey. His rivals
too were no mean opponents for ranked
against him were men who had won
laureks at Harvard. Yale. Princeton and
ather institutions of fame.
Mr.. Hefrernan received his earl ysduca-
tion at the Christian Brothers school,
Providence. This he has supplemented by
assiduous and constant reading as well
as by contact and association with highly
educated men, into whose company he Is
thown by the nature Of his employment.
tue past tnrtc OF lOuE years ne mas
been acting as private secretary to Ad-
miral Dewey. His honesty and integrity
OF character combined with proficiency
in stenography secured him this position.
1t Is claimed that he Is the most rapid
and accurate shorthand writer in the
country

the boys at the university. Already he
has filled many important offices both
active membeusaWtbcmfwy
In the debating society, OF which he Is an
active member and also in class orzani-
cations. But it is believed by the major
ity of his class that the future has great
er honors In store for him, for rumor is
afioat that he Is to be the president OF
the graduating class of next year.
Rhode Island has always been we'll and
honorably represented at Georgetown
University. Last year Warren Greene
OF Providence carried away a 500 prize
for being the best debater and Charles
Mulhearne who is now practicing law In
the Banigan building. ran a close race
for first place In his class. A few years
previous Mr.. Higgins. who is now Mayor
of Pawtucket, made a name for himself
and for the university in intercollegiate
debates. Ex-Mayor Fitzgerald of Paw
