How to.Pay . Compliment.
I To pay9a compliment is to tell
the truth, and to tell it as though you
meant it. And the only way is to
mean it, II a girl is pretty or ac.
cQmplished; if she playswell, or sings
well, or dances well, or talks well; if,
in q word, she pleases, why, in the
name of common sense, shouldn't
she be told Of it2 Don't blurt it out
before everybody. That will only
serve TO make her uncomfortable and
make. You appear Ridiculous Say ii
quietly vixen Opportunity offers, but
say it strongly Convey the idea.

may be no mistake. about it. But
don't say it officially. Formally is
about the coolest thing known
More than one maiden has been
made happy-say for half an hour
by mans taking the trouble to say
a pleasant thing about toilet that
he liked, and many of fashions fol-
lies have been given up by girls
when they noticed discreet silence
concerning them on the part Of their
gentlemen friends. A bewitching
little black eyed beauty once said to
a gentleman: II like to have you say
sweet things to me, it seems to come
so easy and natural" In general
terms it may be said thatit is always
better tosay an agreeable thing than
a disagreeable thing-better for all
parties. The gallant who, when a
young lady stepped on his foot while
dancing and asked pardon, said:
Don't mention it,; dainty little
foot like that wouldn't hurt adaisy,n
not only told the truth, but doubtless
felt more comfortable than the boor
who, whenhis foot was stepped upon,
reared out: "That's right; climb all
over me with your great, clumsy
hoofs."
A lawyer in Dayton, Ohio, had in
his office a particularly industrious
student. One of the clients was a
young and pretty woman, and her
consultations with the lawyer were
always held in his private room, be-
hind closed doors The student be
came anxious to learn about the case
that required so much secret discus
sion. He peeped and listened at the
keyhole, and was rewarded by the
knowledge that, while the legal bus
mess related to the collection of
small debt, most of the interviews
were devoted to courtship. The law
yer desired The woman tomarry him,
while she, being wealthy, feared that
his motive was mercenary. On the
occasion Of her next call the lawyer
was not in, and the student politely
informed her that, although he had
not been admitted to the bar, he was
confident that he could deal satisfac-
torily with her case. She said no,
but he persisted, popped the question
on the spot, urged his suit eloquently,
and was accepted. The lawyer, in re.
venge, tried to whip him. and that
was how the story got out.

As yet, nothing has been done in
Congress in regard to framing an Ar
my Appropriation Bill that will
satisfy his majesty R. B. Hayes, of
Washington City. If we were per-
mitted to make suggestion to the
Democratic party of both Houses, it
would be to this effect: Get up your
bills, embodying substantially the
the same as the two last which met
Hayes disapproval, present him one
weekly, andlet him use his pleasure.
Of course he will veto each one. But
then the veto will become farcical,
and the people as we'll as himself
will regard the whole affair as simply
ridiculous. Mr.. Hayes will then
see where he stands, and be glad to
sign the bill as first passed.-an-

Tn =, Peach Market.

The peach market was unusually ac-
tive this morning, the supply being quite
large, and the buyers numerous in ex-
pectancy of procuring good bargains.
The principal varieties we're Mountain
Rose, Troth's, and Hsle's Early with a
liberal sprinkling Of other kinds. Prices
varied according TO quality, and also
we're graded by the sellers ideas as TO
what prices the people would be willing
to pay. For instance, one dealer on
Fourth street offered very fair sample
at 10 and IS cents per basket, while just
across the street another dealer was sell
ing larger and better-looking peaches at
60 and Us cents. Fruit of ordinary quail
ity s>ld as low as 90 cents per basket,
Will some of extra size and quality
ranged from 80 cents to $1.0O.
1t is noticeable that year by year peach
baskets dwindle in size, and their con-
tents are also made as little as possi BILE
Instead of the fruit being heaped up to a
curve as was the case a few years ago
the baskets in many instances are moi
filled to the top. Thus, owing to the small
baskets and short measures, s,housekeeper;
find that a basket of peaches will not "dc
up" near so many jars ofprescrves as one
would few years ago.
The watermelon and cantaloupe mar
ket was also very brisk this morning, the
supply being large and the demand
reasonably active. Small cantaloupe!
sold as low as 25 cents par basket, and
real good ones sold for 40 cents extra
80 cents. Watermelons sold from II
cents apiece upwards, according to size
and from $40 to $15 per hundred. Tb
market was also well supplied with othe
fruits, as we'll as truck and vegetables
for which current prices were asked.

Y The Mayor was absent from the seat
st the City Hall, which he usually takes
every evening at the stroke of seven
o'clock, and Magistrate O'Neil presided.
1t was understood that His Honor was
sea-siding at Cape May
"Michael Mcdonald, why did you curse
this man ?" asked the Magistrate as that
gentleman took a seat near. Michael
would not volunteer an explanation and
ii. w. Bleyer of the Board Of Health,
who was the man who received the ours
ing, explained that he was acting in his
capacity of city deodorizer and went to
Mr.. McDonars house and told his wife
to abate nuisance OIL his premises. A
day or two afterwards Michael came to
his house and cursed him. The cursing
was what Mr.. Bleyer did not like. In
his defense, Mr.. Mcdonald said that Mr..
Bleyer had came to his house drunk TO
see about the nuisance and had annoyed
his wife and kept her back with the din
ner. "Its enough for me to be drunk
around my own house without the
Board of Health coming that way
The penalty was one dollar and costs.
Two worthless negro loafers who
have been giving every possible annoy
ance around Front and Market streets
were each required to pay one dollar

pied the dock. He was one of two

ry at the solicitation of ID. l.. Stewart
Of the postofiice. Jennings resisted the
Chief all the way to the City Hall, and
inside the corridor hit him in the face
lie was drunk at the time, and very
disorderly. Fined one dollar for being
disorderly, and five dollars and costs
for assault and battery.
Jim Patterson, was the name given
by the tramp who was the companion
of the foregoing. He was fined two
dollars and required to pay costs.
Frank Burton, COL, had cursed Davit
Murphy at Market street bridge over thu
Christiana. The latter was driving /;
sand cart for VIM. McMenamin ant
wanted to cross the bridge. Murph,
asked him to wait till he got his car
dumped and he would clear the way

Total for the year to date, :. 81, ,751
"This amount" continued the Chief,
"is the tax en- 1902 dogs that have been
registered for the year, and shows a re-
markable increase over last year.
The total number OF dogs registered
last year according to the police books
was 500. l don't know what the amount
was; they are not in these books"
Inquiry at the Office of Auditor Under
wood failed to secure the informal ion
speedily; that gentleman was willing to
give it, but it would take much trouble
and time to find it, and the inquirer did
not wait.
The figures secured from the Chief
show that there has been an increase in
the registeration Of dogs of 1885 and a
probable increase in receipts of about
$1,000, and people may wonder At the in
crease. This is easily explained, and is
in great measure caused by the opera
tions of the dog catcher, which has made
people, who value their dogs, more care
full to register them.
