Shopping in Chicago.

Cincinnati Commercial special: There
was an open compromise in court this
morning of a rather remarkable suit for
damages. The circumstances of the case
are as follows: On last Christmas eve u
Mrs. Dudley, whose husband is an en-
ploye of the Western Union Telegraph
company, and who is q half-brother of
Mayor Harrison, visited the store of G
W. Partridge & Co., n large establishment
on State street. While standing in the
store, with only one hand in her muff,
some one else's hand reached into the
other end of the mutf and seized her
pocket-book. She held on to herpocket-
book, and turning around saw that the
would-be thief was woman, who turned
out to be Mary Moriarity, at that
time female detective in the Boston
store. Mrs. Dudley accused her of try
ing to steal her pocket-book.
but Moriarity denied it and
accused Mrs. Dudley of trying
to steal handkerchief At that mo-
ment fioor-walker, named Haeckman.
came along, and Moriarity complained
to him that Mrs. Dudley was stealing
goods, and with that Haeckman, Moriar-
ity and others seized Mrs. Dudley and
pushed and dragged her down into the
basement and into a private room, telling
herthat she must be searched. Mrs. Dud-
ley shrieked, protested and re-
sisted, but to no purpose. Mrs. Dud-
ley protested that no man should search
her, and demanded that woman should
be sent for. Haeckman swore, and said
he was man enough to search her. He
then opened all her clothes and handled
her in the most indecent manner, accom-
panying his search with the most insult
ing language. He found no stolen prop
erty on herand turned her loose, warning
her never to show her face in that store
again.
The lady's husband, when he heard of
the outrage, went to the store and
trounced the foor-walker. He then
brought suit for $4,000. When the case
was called to-day the lawyers on both
sides asked a little delay. An offer of
$500 and expenses was made and ac-
cepted, and this amount was entered as a
judgment.

Summer soiling and Pasturage.

From the Rural New Yorker.
Summer soiling in the dairy consists in
having an abundance of succulent food
for milch cows, supplementary to pastur-
age during summer and fall, when
grass begins to deterioate and fall off in
quantity.
It has been abundantly proved, from
oil experience, that cows, to make the
best returns, must not be allowed to
shrink very much in their yield of milk
during August and September; for the
milking habit being checked at this sea-
son and the yield diminished to small
quantity, it can not be brought back
again to full flow during the remainder
of the season, though grass may be plen-
tiful and fresh. In ordinary seasons,
feed in pastures begins to dry up and be-
come brown and woody toward the last
of July, and this is especially SO at the
West and Northwest, where the natural
grasses of the prairie are depended upon
for pasturage. The natural grasses Of
the West are nutritious and make good
milk SO long as they are fresh and sweet,
but as showers are less frequent there
during summer than in the Middle
and Eastern states, pastures often fail
rapidly during the latter part ofsummer,
and cows require supplementary rations
of some kind to keep up their flow of
milk.
Among Summer soiling plants, sowed

A CLUMSY FORGERY.

A Young Man From the Country Plcksd Up.
just after the Lancaster County national
bank opened for business this morning .
young man who represented himself a.
Christian Riser came in and presented
for discount note purportiDg to be signed
by himself and endorsed by Samuel Roger,
. retired farmer. living near Millway and q
customer of the Lancaster County national.
As the young man who presented the note,
which was for S4OO, was unknown to the
bank officers he and his note were scruti-
nized closely, and it was soon seen that
Mr.. Rogers name was an apparent for
gerry. The alleged Kisser gave contradic.
tory accounts of himself and the use for
which the money was intended, and finally
admitted that the signature was not writ
ten by Mr.. Roger, but by his author
ity. He said that he got it last
evening, one of Mr.. Rogers sons signing
it by his fathers authority. Meantime
the bank officers, satisfied that forgery
had been committed and that swindle was
being attempted, had complaint made at
Alderman Bars the young man was
put under arrest to await further develop
ments. There is . family by the name Of
Riser in the neighbOrhOOd Of Millway,
and it is believed tho defendant comes
from that neighborhood, or has been
working there and is persOnating one Of
