THE PHILADELPHIA TEVIES, FKIPAY MORNING, FEimUAKYl, 1901. Gimbel Brbth'er Gimbel Brothers Gimbel Brothers Gimbel Brothers 0 000000000 OOOOQOOOOOOQOOOO Hertford CAR PET Mill You have a right to know that we have sold more carpets more dollars' worth and more yards this week than we ever sold in a like period. This sale came at a time when it was naturally hardest to make a new record; when carpet selling in most stores is at a standstill; when you had the chance to set up hard comparisons against this carpet store. The sale has barely started despite the quantity of goods we've put out. We Are Selling' a Great Mill's Product Selling' some of it at just Half Price because it means so much to both the Hartford Company and the Higgins Company to complete their $7,000,000 assimilation that the loss of thousands must not balk them.

Carpet values are pretty stable. Some lines of goods are frequently cleared out at half price. For a carpet mill to take ten per cent, reduction on a great lot is the utmost usual limit. It's more wonderful to buy $2.50 Wiltons at $1.25 arid $1.50 than it would he to get any other sort of goods at half. And more styley are added toda.y.

There are more styles today also of the 1. 75 Berlin Axminsteiv at 95c and the Berlins wear like iron. The more we sell, the more eager great producers are to get business. One mill is satisfied to make us exclusive Philadelphia sellers. Another one has practically done so.

But the greatest economy we can ever hope to bring you is during this sale of Hartford and Sanford carpets. Hotel men will be glad to know that they can choose from Twenty styles of 60c Tapestry at 47c Forty-nine styles 75c Tapestry Brussels at 55c Sixty-two styles of 90c Tapestry at tlVic Thirty-three styles cf $1.40 Body Brussels at 95c If you do not need the carpets at once, we'll store your purchase -ample facilities in our Twenty-first and Market warehouses. Fifth floor carpets and rugs twelve elevator. FEBRUARY FURNITURE saving of a fourth, a third, in some cases half. And store-ful at regular prices when vou needed to buy.

Economy is the keynote the very styles you would pick from the February concessions of orice are made to hurrv you made to push good luck right at you because it pays us to; because it pays the manufacturers to clear their warerooms even at a loss. Men jump at a safe five per cent, investment. You make an average thirty per cent, by buying furniture now. And the sale is big, and will be bigger first day a little more than doubled last year's record, despite the snow storm. There's no magic about it those who bought were not hypnotized.

They saw probably compared (they should compare) with similar furniture sold in other stores. So far as selling the furniture is concerned, we needn't print another word about it. But four-fifths of the reason for working up a big sale is to win new friends and you can't capture a whole city in a day. We'll advertise furniture almost every day this month. Yet, naturally, early selection is best.

His shoes are branded "$3.50." He studied our line awhile and left Philadelphia off his list.

Only a picture store with a wide reach and an assured power could have so quickly and easily distributed the great Newman stock of pictures. But there's a heavy penalty to pay for this brisk trading. Many frames get injured no great damage in some cases; maybe a scratch or a nick; some with worse hurts. It's a clean-up of pictures with damaged frames that we sell today "as is."

Lord Kitchener reported from Pretoria, January 13, that three agents of the Boer peace commission were taken as prisoners to General DeWet's laager, -near Lindlev, January 10, aud that one, who was a British subject, was flogged and then shot. TJie other two, burghers, were flogged by General DeWet's orders. The Identity of Andrles Weasels, reported to have been shot by General DeWet at Kllpfontein, January 28, cannot be definitely established; but Lord Huberts, July 4 last, reported that General Methuen had captured the commander of DeWet's acontfi, two other prisoners and, according to the cable, Andeles Wessels, the head of the Africander Bund. It is possible that Andrles Wessels and Andeles Wessels are the same person. Morgan Daal, who was another of the two ltoer peace envoys and who accompanied Andrles Wessels, was shot near Linley January 10.

EDWARD IS CONCILIATORY Wording; of the Pretoria Proclamation Believed to be Designed to Invite Peace. London, January 81. It Is now generally accepted that the wording of the proclamation at Pretoria describing King Kdward as "supreme lord of and over the Transvaal" was deliberately designed to promote conciliation. Kpeeial slguiilcanee Is attached to the fact that the Times prints a letter from Sir Henry Urummond Wolff In which the diplomat declares it is difficult to exaggerate the Importance of this wise and beneficent step. The title, he says.

Is likelier than any other that could be devised to lead to pacification. It establishes the supremacy of the British sovereign and recognlies the moral entity of the Transvaal, keeps It separate from the constitutional empire and places Its ancient laws, customs, traditions, religion, genealogy and private property under the supreme separate rule aud protection of the King. The proclamation, concludes Sir Henry, was inspired by the genius of conciliatory statecraft and the result must be pacific. OTHERS 1 K. OF L.

TROUBLES Washington Courts Decide In Favor of the Hayes Faction. SecretaryJohn W. Hayes, of the Knights of Labor, has sent out from headquarters In Washington a circular announcing that Justice Barnard, of the Court of Equity of the District of Columbia, had denied the Injunction asked for by John N. Parsons, E. E.

Burley and others against the general oflicers of the order. The Court held that the Birmingham General Assembly had settled all the matters in the controversy. In addition, the pfflclals recognized by the courts have had the order Incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia.

Parks, colored lawyers, as a result of a complaint made by S. II. Hodges, were summoned before Judges Wlllson aud Andeuried yesterday to show cause why they should not be disbarred or suspended from practice for unprofessional conduct In retaining S100 which had been paid to them to effect a settlement of a criminal case. The defense of the lawyers was that there had been no criminal Intent upon thctr part and that they were willing and ready to return tho money as soou as they ascertained to whom it belonged, the clients whom they had undertaken to defend In a larceny case both having pleaded guilty and been sent to Jail. Judge Wlllson said It was not meritorious on the part of the respondents to have retained the money, as the Court was clear as to Its proper owner.

BAUCH WILL INVALID Judge Brofcy Overrules Motion for a 'ew Trlrtl Hrousht by (ontestees.

Judge ltregy, In Common Pleas Court, No. 1, yesterday refused the motion for a new trial of the contest over the will of William Laugh, deceased, which was recently decided in favor of the contestants, a niece and two nephews of the decedent. The supporters of the will were Father McEnroe, of South llethlehein, and two other priests. Father McEnroe was In constant attendance at the death bed of Mr. Raugh, who died at a hotel In Media, In September.

1809, and the will was made from memorandum, which the priest said he had written at the dying man's dictation. By the terms of the alleged will Father McKnroe was made sole executor and the chief beneficiary and would have received the greater part of the $00,000 estate had the instrument been sustained, while the niece was bequeathed In trust and the two nephews were entirely Ignored. Attorney Maurice W. Sloan, who brought the contest on behalf of the relatives, alleged that Father McKnroe had exerted influence over the dying man. The case attracted widespread Interest and tbe trial was strenuously fought before the Jury.

After a trial lasting six days the alleged will was declared Invalid. The motion for a new trial wns based on exceptions to the Judge's charge.
