Shopping In Chicago.

Cincinnati Commercial special: There
was an open compromise in court this
morning ofa rather remarkable suit for
damages. The circumstances of the case
arc as follows: On last Christmas eve q
Mrs. Dudley, whose husband is an en-
ploye Of the Western Union Telegraph
company, and who is a half-brother Of
Mayor Harrison, visited the store of G
W. Partridge 4 Co.. large establishment
on State street. While standing in the
some one else's hand reached into the
other end of the muf and seized her
pockct-book She held on to herpockct-
book, and turning around saw that the
would-be thief was woman, who turned
out to be Mary AIoriarity, at that
time female detective in the Boston
store. Mrs. Dudley accused her Of try
but A1oriarity denied it and
accused Mrs. Dudley of trying
to steal handkerchief. At that mo-
ment a tioor-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 private room, telling
her that 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 her and 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 fioor-walker. He then
brought suit for $4,000. When the case
was called to-day the lawyers on both
sides asked little delay. An offer OF
$500 and expenses was made and ac-
cepted, and this amount was entered as q
judgment.

Burnand calls the soft SEX in their fool

to adopt any hvgienic change. The
present is good time for hygienicts to

Summer Soiling and Pasturage.

Summer SOiling and Pasturago
From the Rural New Yorker.
Summer soiling in the dairy consists in
having an abundance of succulent food
for mich cows, supplementary to pastur-
age during summer and fall, when
grass begins to deterioate and fall off in
quantity.
1t 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-
tifu! 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 80 at the
West and Northwest, where the natural
grasses of the prairie are depended upon
fOr pasturagc. Inc 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 of summer,
and COWS require supplementary rations
Of some kind to keep up their flow of
milk.

this morning it was found that the mine
was filled with the dangerous material.
This morning John Lee, the fire boss went
into the pit to investigate and found the gas
quite thick. He warned the men on their
arrival ofthe danger, and had safety lamps
distributed among them, after which they
descended the mine to work. All went we'll
