BLACK LISTS OF DEAD BEATS,


Tradesmen Helping One Another with
Warnings Against Men Who viii Not
Pay.
"Black List is the startling heading
with which the Merchants Protective
Company leads of a notice of its men,
bers, says the New York san. The COM
pany was incorporated in March, 1882, for
providing for the protection of its men,
bers the fullest possible list of dead beats,
swindlers, cheaters, confidence men, and
debtors that could be gathered The
names were first published with a brief
statement Of actual debts owing by the
deltor and the object for which they were
contracted. In many cases the debts
were in the form of judgments, promis-
sorry notes and Acknowledgements. The
first list contained more than 900 names.
The next year the dead beat list increased
"a 900, and this years black list win con-
tain more. than 5000 names. Lately thp
publication OF the details of the debts has
been omitted.
Inc VlcLirm.Ss of these dead beats are the
various tradesmen and professional men.
Physicians have had many patients whose
names are recorded as a warning to other
doctors. Some of the tailors who have
waited long and patiently, ana have made
new suits in the hope of being paid for
last years goods, have in despair record
ed the names OF those in whom they have
been tOoconfding The tOO-coniding plumb
er has recorded his sorrGWs. Am ong the
curious debts that caused the placing of
some names on the black list was one for
a wedding bouquet. Unpaid undertakers'
bills are numerous.
Sometimes the appearance of a name on
= Dc tot T.
and the eraSure Of name, but most of
the cases are hard cases, without any in
tentiOn toward payment. The list is now
very cautiously prepared, so cautiously,
i'm fact, that it is almost unintelligible to
the average reader. At first it was very
distinctly headed, but now it is called
simply the Protective List. One of the
members who received the latest list, sup
posed it was q list of subscribers, and
wrote to know why his name was not in
cluded. Most of the members know, how
ever, that Protective List means Black
List, and are warned accordingly, while
the cautious way Of printing the list is for
the purpose of avoiding libel suits.
The black list is not sold to members.
but is simply loaned for year under a
contract that it shall be returned when the
next list is published. The conditions of
membership are much the same as those
of ordinary mercantile agencies. InfOr-
nation is impaired to members IN strict
confidence and under promise that it shall
not be used by others than members. The
President, Marius Turck, says they have
had only one libel suit since the COM
pany started, and the company won that.
Part of the cOmpany's business is the
collection Of bills, and volume could be
filled with a description of the lodges,
subterfuges, shifts, tricks, and eXpedients
of the unfortunate debtors. 1t is, never
theless, true that the black list is by no
dead beats against whom there are piles Of
judgments in the office of the County
Clerk have managed to keep their names

LOVELY MAIDS IN CASHMERE.
A Pen-Pieture of Pretty Scene at a
Wedding-F ashton JOts.

The five bridesmaids at an evening
church wedding looked exceedingly pretty
in their dresses Of ivory white India cash
mere, draped over killed skirts of the
same, with broad loops and rosettes of
ivory white satin. over their shoulders
they wore dainty little pelerines of white
satin. bOrdered with ivory white mara
bout feather trimming. Their Queen Nab
bOnnets of white felt were smOthered in
masses of fluffy white feather tips and
faced inside with bright ruby velvet. Each
bridesmaid carried an immense fan Of
white feathers with crimson roses in the
centre, while the inevitable bouquet was
thrust into a tiny silver pouch which was
suspended from the left side of
the belt. An interesting feature
Of the occasion was the presence of
two wee little siX-year-Old pages dressed
in Continental fashion, who very indus
triously and gracefully attended the
course Of the brides excessively long
court train from church door to chancel,
and behind these two followed two
cherubic little golden-haired girls carry
ing wicker baskets filled with choicest
roses, heliotr0pe blossoms and scarlet car
nations.
Velvet will be combined with the airy
gauZes and other transparent tissues
worn the coming season. GauZe bOdices,
it is said, will have velvet facings turned
down to form a bertha. Similar facings
are added to the short sleeves and cOckade
bows of velvet to correspond are set here
and there, butterfly fashion, among the
folds of the cloud-like drapings.
Black Ottoman and black Yelveteen in
the new London dye are to be much in use
as stylish walking costumes for elderly
ladies this spring.
The round waist is conspicuous among
French costumes.

almost any officer of the Missouri riY-
or can tell you Of the famous ride GOrse,
the scout, made from the Stanley eXpedi-
ton. 1 don't remember the miles [sOme-
thing over 300 in less than four days, but
/ know he only used one pony, and went
straight across the most GOd-fOTsaken
country in America. The Indians war
ponies are always the best of the herd,
and receive a good deal of care. A buff
fQl0 pony ranks next. You can tell one
by the notch in the points Of the ears. A
good buffalo pony knows how to elude the
charge of mad bull as well as / know
how to skin an antelope; stops just at the
right time, and runs at the proper speed.
You take green horse and hunt buffalo,
and you'll find the affair isn't SO tame
after all.
"I'd like to see some attention paid to
raising good Sioux ponies. You can't
imagine how quickly they show the eff
fects of halfway decent care and plenti-
full food. Tricky? Well, not so terrible.
You see, they regard their masters as
natural enemies, and treat them accord
ingly. They are apt to shy badly, but
that's because they've stepped into prai-
rie-dOg or fox holes occasionally, and
every tuftOf long grass or mound of gravel
creates suspicion. Ilges can tell you how
his five companies of infantry got through
the terrible campaign of 1SS0-'S1. The
dough boys had Indian ponies for mounts
and the little devils would paw away the
snow to get grass-mercury frozen in the
tube, mind yOu-and when they reached
Keogh, after the campaign, were actually
fat and full of kick"
