Henry B. Miller, better known in the whisky trade as 'FBuffalo'' Miller, is cheer full debtor He owes the Chicago Hide and Leather bank $9, 500. In the usual suited legal form the bank said that it had "well hoped that the said defendant, Henry B. Mill Ter, would have paid the debt, ''as in equity and good conscience he ought to have done {" To this bill Miller's answer has been filed Unlike most legal documents, it has upon it the name of no attorney, but is simply signed by Miller. He says it may be that the bank has recovered iudg- ment against him and that the judgment is still in full force. He admits that he never has paid it. ''And it may be" he cautiously continues, ''that the said complainant well hoped that this defendant would pay such judgment, because, as the poet says, hope springs eternal in the human breast but he thinks that it cannot be possible that the complainant had any expectation that this defendant would pay said judgment, because he is informed and believes the complainant well knew that it was utterly impossible for the defendant to do so.''

Two young men were clerks in their fath- CTS store. One lived in his fathers house free of expense, and the other was paid a salary. The former sued for compensation, and offered to prove the value of his services by the amount paid to his brother. In this case-Cohen vs. Cohen-the Supreme court of the District of Columbia has decided in favor of the father, saying: Unless there is an express contract to pay son for services where he works for his father, who is board ing and lodging him without charge, he can- not recover compensation; the law will not imply promise to pay him And, if g re- covery could be had, what was paid to the brother would be no evidence of what his services were worth Their value must be ascertained by the regular method,-that is, by showing their worth,-and this must be proved by the son; his father cannot be called upon to make out the case, which would be the result if this evidence were admitted, as it would be in the nature of an admission.

English ships have to be repaired as we'll as the ships in our own beautiful and useful navy. When the Commons were asked 8 few days ago to appropriate $25O. 1000 to re- pair the yacht Victoria and Albert, very strong objections were raised by quite 8 number of the members. It was pointed out that in the last ten years the State had spent upon the vessel for repairs, supplies and maintenance not less than $2, 090,- GOO, and in all these years the yacht had not been in service forty full days. That is to say, the nation was paying at the rate of $50, 900 day for the time the vessel had been in use. This was presenting 8 strong argument in favor of oondemning tho Victo- ria and Albert, and breaking her up; but, by the help of the Conservatives, the govern ment succeeded in defeating the amendment and carrying through it's original proposal

Pat Hollands Shooting Trick.
A Nevada exchange saws:

NcNuuu cNCHhilpc bhl
Years ago, in tho early days of the
Comstock excitement, Pat Holland, now
postmaster and coroner in little town
In Cochisc County, Arizona. was the
most respected nan in the State. He
had the reputation of being n dead-shot
with pistol OF course this accom-
plishmcnt made him feared by every
body, and there was no man in Virginia
! so bold rs TO cross him IN public. Pat
acquired his reputation by shooting on
tho stage, and could kno an apple off
his sons head with an accuracy and
carclcssness which combined to impress
the public far more than tho manner in
which the painstaking William Tell
performed the feat with I'm arrow. r.
nally, Pat secured young lady who
would allow an apple to be shot oil her
llaxcn roll, and when Pat executed the
feat he would throw his keen eye at the
girl, and then roll his or1s up into the
gallery, and without looking at his
mark, send bullet through the fruit.
This was put down on the bills as "Pat
Hollands psychological feat o. shoot
ing from memory" and drew crowded
houses" Ono night he advertised to
shoot apples from twelve Yong ladies'
heads in succession, and only take one
look at the crowd. Piper Opera House
was packed with men Mt one dollar
head, and when the curtain rose twelve
immaculate ballet dancers were in line
J along the wings, each with an apple on
her mead. Pa stepped TO the foot lights
and bowed amid tremendous applause
He had II six-shootor in each hand,
and the stage manager announced
that no would shoot tho last six apples
with his left hand. Casting his
eye along the line. ho took long
breath, a steady position. and then
faced the audience. Lifting his revol-
yer, he began to shoot in rapid success
sion, and the apples began to fly out of
sight amid tho hrcathless silence of tho
audience. The curious part OF the per-
Torrance, however, lay in the fact that
| by the time Pat had fired the six shots
oil the apples had disappeared, yet he
kept on angling away with his lett
hand, amid roars of laughter and dcri-
sion. To cap the climax, two apples
got tangled together and remained
dangling from the edge OF scene in
plain sight OF the audience. The trick
was at once apparent. Each apple had
II fine thread attached, and at the shot
was jerkcd quickly out OF sight The
supcs behind the scenes who pulled
the strings got confused ut Pats rapid
firing, and half the apples disappeared
before the tme. Two were snalched
oil simultaneously, and the strings over
tapping in the ar brought the apples
together, where they hung TO the edge
OF the scene, the strings being on each
side. This ended Hollands career as a
public soloist on the pistol, and the
public gradually came to look upon him
as an ordinary mortal. Soon after this
he got into street row in Phoebe and
fired twelve shots in denscly popu-
lated portion of the city without killing
a man. But for attempting TO do too
much at once he might have gone to
Congress from this State years ago.

A Stranger From Freeport.

Usually a professional, dyed-in-the-
wool gambler is the hardest man to bea
In the wide world. He divides his Eel
low-men into two classes, and in his
terse and epigrammatic, Language he calls
them "silckers" and thieves. He
tbriyes and grows fat on the one class,
and il requires all his alertness to keep
from being robbed by the other His
perceptions are 30 sharpened that he can
distinguish an honest man from knave
at glance, but occasionally he gets
picked up in most scandalous manner.
A case Of this kind occurred in Chicago

he developed his plot. He knew man

ana il he, the plausible stranger, had
another 81 600 he could go in with him.
He represented tho Frccport man to be
rank smoker, whom it would be base
fattery TO call an illustrious "gilly."
His plan was TO borrow the 81 900 from
his new found friend. who would come
down to Freeport, and in the absence OF
the native win out the entire bank roll,
his own 81 900 and the natives 81 900,
and divide. This is an old trick among
gamblers, md the gcntlemanly capitalist
knew it could be worked. He knew,
too, that the stranger and the Frecport
man might DO standing in " 10 rob
him, but no came to tho conclusion that
his new acquaintance meant to do the
"square thing" with him. He accord.
ingly advanced the 81 900, but in order
10 secure himself he sent trusted ally
to 90 and look after it. The partner
was TO telegraph the Chicago capitalist
when it was time 10 como down 10 Free

no unpleasant complications, the tele-
gram was TO be worded at is n good

waited anxiously for electric instruction
to invest in pork, but, instead, there
came letter from his agent conveying
the sad intelligence that ono day, while
no was out eating his dinner, another
man in white hat had dropped i'll and
won out 81, 900. On his return he had
