The Champion Shopper.

She swept into our largest dry-gOods
store with that easy grace that belongs
as birthright to Baltimore's fair daugh-
tiers, stopping at the glove counter. The
polite clerk rushed forward to wait on
her, with a note of interrogation in each
eve; she asked for kid gloves. ''Yes'm,
what size mp" A gorgeous pullback
passed her, and she turned to look at it,
and then calculated, "Kid glOves!"
" Yes'm, what size mp "Why Miss
Sue, how do you do? haven't seen you

and as she turns to the patient clerk,

"Why, | wanted black gloves" The

A Fatal Game Of CrOquet.

Mr.. Reuben p. Benton and Mr. j. d.
Strickland were engaged in a game of
croquet on the grounds in the rear of the
Warren & Nenango passenger depot.
Both gentlemen were on the most friend
" terms, and they were in the habit of
playing on these favorite grounds almost
daily. Mr. Strickland made a misplay,
and, as commonly occurs on such Occa-
sions among the boys, he peevishly at
tempted to throw his mallet after the
ball. BY some unfortunate chance the
handle of the mallet caught in the
sleeve of his coat, and it was hurled in
the direction Of his companion, striking
him on the right temple, and telling him
to the ground. The accident was wit
messed by a number of bystanders, who,
at the time, did not imagine that Mr.
Benton was seriously injured. His pro-
longed inSensibility, however, created
considerable alarm, and restOratives
were readily applied. Mr.. Strickland
ran in haste for medical aid and car
riage, but before his return the unfor-
tunate Benton was carried to his room
in an insenSiblc condition. Drs. Moody
and Barr were on hand almost impedi-
ately on his arrival, and made a search
inc examination of the wound. 1t APP
pears that the blow, which was struck
on the right temple, was not sufficient
to cause a fracture Of the skull at that
point, but, as is often the case, produced
an cffusion of the blood at the base of
the brain. Such an injury is almost in
eyitably fatal, and the patient fingered
on until 6 o'clock p. m, when he eN-
pired without recovering consciousness.

stified cry of pain, and the thief, with a
bound, leaped from his stopping posture
and fell heavily on the floor, never to
rise again. His three companions, see
inc the tragic occurrence, leaped from
their hiding places, their faces being dis
guised by masks, and one of them,
drawing club, struck the brave watch
man with it and Knocked him down.
Soaring struggled with them for dear
life, and twice again discharged his
pistol, but the desperadoes at length
disarmed him and got him completely
in their power. just as they were about
to place pair of manacles upon his
wrists, large dog, named Major, came
bounding up the stairs, and seeing the
situation, leaped into the fray, and
fought furiously for his master. The
struggle was most desperate and san
urinary one; it was life for life, and for
nearly mortal hour it lasted, the men
and the dog Major rolling up and down
the office floor. The faithful dog did
noble service, slashing about him with a
will, and giving the burglars no quar-
tiers, until at length, feeling that they
had sufficient of his fangs, they fled in
the most abiect terror, leaving behind
the dead body of their miserable com
panion. As may well be supposed, the
watchman and dog were fairly fatigued,
but fearful lest another attack might be
made before daybreak they stood on
guard. The thieves did not return, how
ever. Later in the day, as soon as the
community were astir, an alarm was
civen, and the route the thieves took
was traced by a heavy trail of blood,
which one of them, doubtless MORALLY
wounded, marked in making his escape.
About half mile distant an old suit of
clothes was discovered beside pool of
blood at the foot of a tree, where the
bleeding burglar must have changed his
apparel. At the railroad a valise was
picked up containing a complete set of
burglars tools. The Waterman did not
identify any of the ruffians, nor can the
face of the dead burglar be recognized,
even by the detective who arrived here
from New York this afternoon for that
purpose. The burglars effected an en-
trance to the building through the Pres
ident's office. Had they even succeeded
in rifing the safe they would not have
secured any money worth speaking of,
as the company generally take the pre-
caution of securing the cash every even
ing in some better protected place.

Father Duce's Novelty.

Father Duce of St. Michael's parish
points with pride to St. Michael Ly-
ceum as proof that billiard and card
playing are not pernicious if they are
not made the medium of gambling.
The st. Michael's Lyceum, a society OF
Roman Catholic young men, was or
ganized by Father Duce in December
last. The good Father hired house IN
Thirty-fourth Street, fitted it with bill
lard and card tables and other club
house attractions, and opened it with
twenty names on the roll. He desired
to give the young men of his parish all
the adiuncts of a bar-rOOm except liquor
and bad company, and thus wiz them
from such places of resort after work
hours. The number of members rapid
" increased and reached 112. Then a
more spacious club house in Thirtieth
Street was rented, and last month the
Lyceum became self-suppOrting. The
Lyceum's new home is very cOmforta-
bly, furnished. Three billiard tables in
the basement furnish entertainment to
those who play the game. The parlor
is elegantly carpeted, and the walls are
adorned with pictures. There are writ
ing desks, reading tables, chairs, and a
piano in the rooms. The second story
contains the card rooms, and therein
every parlor game is played. Above
this the janitor and his family have
their rooms. The club house is open to
the members all day and until II o'clock
at night, except on Sundays. Then it
is closed until nearly noon to permit the
members to attend mass. The games
of cards and billiards are played on
SUNDAYS and Sunday nights, and the
neighbors complain of the noise made
by the billiard balls on Sunday, but Fa-
Their Duce says the house is his, and that
the clicking of billiard balls is prefera-
BILE to the noise of crying children in
o+bor boucac - Nom York Sun.

A Brave Waterman Kills a Burglar.

A correspondent of the New York
Herald communicates hefollowing from
Oxford, n. j.:
A thrilling affair took place this morn
ing, (Oct. 23,) shortly after 2 O'Clock,
in the Office of the Oxford Iron Com
panv, which was entered by gang of
burglars during the temporary absence
of the night Waterman, William II.
Soaring, who had gone into the base
ment of the building, as was his custom,
to see that all was right. On returning
to the office he was startled to see
crouched behind the safe a human fig
ure peering intently in his direction
through a mask, and apparently making
ready to spring upon him. 1t was an
awful moment. He was alone, and at
once the thought flashed across his
mind that q gang of burglars must be
hidden around the office. He deter
mined to sell his life dearly if he must,
and drawing his revolver he discharged
it at the burglar next the safe and sent
a ball whistling through his heart. A

A Story Of Hank Monk.

The following incident is said to have
occurred during Gen. Sheridan's recent
visit to Nevada:
The carriage in which was the Gen
eral and his party met the Glenbrook
passenger coach. The road Skirted
steep hillside, and there was room but
for one of the vehicles in The track.
Hank Monk, the driver of the coach,
took in the situation at a glance, and
taking his horses well in hand, he arts
ucally Rugged the brink of the precipice
and swung the hind part of the stage
over the grade. There it hung, appa-
rently within hairs breadth of destruc-
ton, while the carriage swept safely past
it. The sole Chinese passenger in the
stage, as he chung to the straps in NOR
tai terror, failed to excite a shadow of
sympathy in the breast of the eccentric
old stager. The thanks and admiration
of the ladies for this somewhat reckless
exhibition were a sufficient compensa-
ton to Hank and when they learned
that he was the veritable Hank Monk
who had driven Horace Greeley across
the mountains "on time" they were
disposed to turn back and renew their
expressions of appreciation.

This is an expression that We hear from
doctors when they are in doubt about
the nature of the disease Of their patients.
The country seems to be filed with such
cases, and they are trying first one remedy
and then another, hoping in vain to find
relief. They generally have the following
symptoms: A general depression Of spirits,
with evil forebOdings, whirling sensation
in the head when rising up suddenly, foul
breath, with a bad taste in the mouth,
especially in the morning, pain in the sides
and back, urine scanty and high colored,
frequently voided with difficulty, frequent
headaches, a distressed feeling at the pit Of
the stomach, food atfording no nourishment.
The patient feels tired all the while, and
sleep affords but little rest. After time
dry, hacking cough sets in, followed after
time with eXpectoration, hands and feet cold
and clammy at times, general wasting OF
the body. In such cases we need remedy
that will act upon the liver, kidneys, stomach
and blood ut the same time, and when we
use such a remedy it affords relief. The
