Highway Robbery.

AS George Myers, resident of Maria av-
enue, was crossing the Seventh street bridge,
ats O'Clock last evening, he was pushed by
a crowd of bootblack hoodlums, one of whom
snatched his watch from his person. He
grabbed on to one John Finnel, the supposed
culprit, and held him until relieved by an
officer, the balance of the gang meanwhile
pelting him with mud. At the city hall
Myers preferred charge of highway robbery
against Finnell, and he will be tried before
Judge Burr this morning. The watch was
not recovered, and it is thought it was passed
to an accomplice who is also to be arrested,
his personnel being known to Myers.

TIE CAMPAIGN

promises now to be a very bitter and serious
one. The attempt of Mr.. Fletcher's commit
tee to precipitate matters by calling an
early convention, and to cheat the
smaller counties by cutting off the
delegate at large, to which each county
is by all precedent entitled, shows the des-
peration with which his cause is to be pushed
Mr.. Merriam doubtless finds himself unable
or unwilling to cope with such desperate
tactics, and very properly authorizes an early
announcement of his purpose, in order that

a fire at distance on his premises on Day

may proceed at once to do so. II such a
candidate is agreed upon, whether it be Mr.
Albert Scheffer or some other, the friends of
Mr.. Merriam, and that gentleman himself
will yield him cordial and earnest support.
This timely and manly action on the part
of Mr.. Merriam leaves the field clear for
united effort in favor of Mr. Scheffer, if the
Republicans of Ramsey county desire to
make such an effort. AS we have said often,
he makes no claims on the party, and does
not propose himself as candidate. But if,
with a reasonable degree of unanimity, they
shonld call him, we have no doubt that he
would accept the call, make the race, and, if
any man could, win the victory.

We publish the following extract from

Two principles are absolutely neces-

Or 2. True loyslty-to your customer.
As far as possible each customer
should be treated as if he or she were to
be the only one of the day.
The rush OF business may sometimes
in measure prevent this. But by keep
ing a quiet mind and collected thoughts
it c:.n always be done to good degree.
Cordiality. honesty, politeness, tact,

be brought into use.

Lunch q In Chinese.

Two almond-eyed Celestials, dressed in

at consulting their wishes
Having waited moment, the younger

one of the walters to the table with a
jump. He poured out two glasses Of wa

What you have, sah?"
"Loast chicken, flied potatoes"

The waiter, with a surprised air, shuf-
fled away to get the order. The China
men ate their dinner in a quiet manner,
and when, with the dessert, they ordered
a small bottle of Mumm's extra dry, the
head waiter felt called upon to say some
thing. AS he bowed them out he re-
marked:
"Hope everything suits you, sah?"
"Yes,n replied one of the Cinnamon,

A SQUAD Bank.
Wall Street News,

An Eastern man who was in Wiscon-
sin few days ago stepped into bank
in small town to get $50 bill changed.
The cashier counted out $50 and then
spoke to the book-keeper. The latter
spoke to the janitor, and this individual
put ON his bat and crossed the street and
returned with man who turned out to
be president and chief stockholder.
This person stepped around to the safe,
and by the aid Of the book-keeper OPEN
ed it and handed the cashier about $75,
and charged it to him on day-book.
Later in the day, as he met the Eastern
man on the street, he explained:
Perhaps that transaction looked queer
to YOU but five } ears ago made up my
mind that if my cashier took notion to
skip he'd have to pawn his boot: to get
beyond Chicago. Tie book-keeper
watches the cashier, and keep such a
watch on all three that depositors are
paid 5'per cent. interest, and not game
of poker or faro has ever been played in
this town"

Capt. Schley also showed us can of

on for q month hefore they were rescued
1t was repulsive-looking stuff, with d
nauseating odor, and when the ladies
opened the can to look at it they imme-
distely replaced the co7er with an ex-
clamation of pity and disgust. 1t was
filthy stuff, and only trifle better than
starvation, being a stew of rotten leath-
er. The men cut up their boots into
small pieces, which they boiled into a
sort of gum, and then ate the repulsive
mess. / asked one OF the men how it
tasted:
81 don't recollect,' he said, ''the sense of
taste was pretty well dest eyed before We

only revived by taste of food. When

er, but after | got taste of beef tea and
three or four teas poonssul of milk punch,

The Dude of the Future.

Let no sane man or woman imagine
that the dude is really going away to
stay. What the ladies love remains,
whether pugs, or poodles, or dudes. On
general principles tailor is, of course,
an authority on dudes. That is, he may
be an authority on dudes clothes. But
even among dudes. clothes do not wholly
make the man, much less do they deter
mine the primal laws of the dudes ap-
pearing and reappearing on the fashion
able thoroughfares Of this planet. Tail
OTIS and their clothes may come and go,
but the dude struts on forever.
1t is well enough to have such assur-
ances as these at this momentous period
in history when certain tailors are as
serting that the dude has gone out of
fashion. BY their own confession it is
only the loud, and short, and tight
clothes of TIE dudes that are going out of
fashion. No doubt the loud dudes find
that they are being initiated by all sorts
and colors of men. Their kimbo arms
and handy knees, and general swagger
are no longer the exclusive property of
the dudes, and so the dudes are about to
get into sober clothes and look intellectu-
al. That last is the funny part of the
revolution in dudes. it..f
In truth, clothes will do great many
things for clever people, men and wo-
men. But come to that. they will not
and do not add cubit or a shading to
the real body underneath. A keen eye
detects reformation or grace of body
through the most deceiving or the coars-
est clothing. Much less will clothes give
the dude an intellectual look beyond
the actual calibre of the mind. 1t is,
however, good thing to find that the
dude is about to ape intellectually. 1t
shows that the old divine spark has not
wholly run out of their short tail coats
and kimbo arms. The world is well used
to clothes without brains. Now we are
to have clothes aping brains. That is
the dude of the future.

shore, she was casting anxious looks back
to the spot from which she had leaped,
and of sudden her beautiful eyes bright
ened up, and there was smile that had
some sort of devilment in itplaying over
her face, caused by having caught sight
of her pursuers, three in number, with
bow and arrow in hand. The foremost
of them went down on his right knee,
and the girl motioned the men to look
out, and before he could take his aim
the boats sail was run half way up the
mast, and was protection for all in the
boat. The sail had not been more than Q
few minutes up before several arrows
pierced it, and stuck there. This was
signal for the boats crew to seize their
Snider rifles, and the first shot caused
one man to roll over, and the others in
stantly took to the bush, and no more
was seen of them. We landed our fugi-
tive safely on the ships deck, and she
was supplied with clothing, and soon ap-

cruits on board.

What Shall We Eat

Specific directions with regard to diet
ought never to be given unless the he
reditary or acquired bodily tendencies of
the advised individuals are known. The
rule of life even in the autumnal months
for man afflicted with costiveness can
never be the same as that for man
with tendency in the opposite direc-
ton. Some may abstain almost entirely
from fruit and retain good health, but
these are many to whom compliance
with the order, abstain from fruit"
would be the signing of their death war
rant. The laan who lives by any set ofrigid
rules of dietary formulated for him by
others who abjures animal food because
vegetaries seek to prove that it is not
right for man to eat it; who abandons
fruit and vegetables through fear of diar-
rhes; who forces himself to a monoton-
GUS and unvarying dietary, or who takes
his food by weight, is fool for his pains
and Will soon reap his reward in sick
ness. On the other hand it is impossible
to write four letters large enough to ex.
press the foolishHess of the men or wo.
men who will continue to eat what they
know is hurtful to them, either because
they like it, because others recommend
it, or Lecauss they perceive that others
take it with impunlty. The man who
exercises largely every day, who lives
out of doors, who works at hearty craft
under healthy conditions, will, if In good
health, probably find himself able to di
gest and assimilate pretty we'll any kind
offood not taken in excess, while the
man who follows a sedentary calling
must, even if in good health, take fal
more care of himself

does several times day. Her stomach
feels full, as though she had recently
eaten hearty meal. Her sickness is
accompanied by no delusion whatever,
and her mind is clear and rational. She
would be glad 70 eat If see could, and, at
the request Of her physician, has made
attempts to eat or drink, but with the
result described. All efforts to feed her
in other way than by mouth have prov
ed futile.
At the date ofthe subjoined affidavit
she was lying in the como ition describ-
ed, but was evidently and almost imper-
ciptibly growing weaker. She talked
feebly with callers, declining fruit and
other dainties brought in. Her mother
asserts that che sleeps about an hour a
day. She still cannot bear the light.
Although her cheeks are pale and thin
there is no haggard or deathly express
sion to her face. The mother of the
girl made the following affidavit:
State ofNew York, Montgomery Coun-
ty, S.. Catherine Smulsey of the village
of Fort Plain, said county, sworn: That
she is the mother of Kate Smulsey, now
about 20 years of age, and has had per-
sonal charge and care of her during the
entire period of her illness, which be-
gan on or about July l, 1882, and has
continued until the present time, she
having been confined to her bed since
about Nov. l, 1882; that the said Kate
Smulsey has not, to the knowledge of
deponent, eaten anything or taken nour-
ishment of any kind since March IL, 1884
except piece of watermelon, not to
exceed twJ inches square, and on the
10th day of August, chewed a small
mouthful of beefstea6, swallowing the
juice, but swallowing none of the solid
portion; that occasionally, and generally
not to exceed two or three times a day,
she hnses her mouth with water, not
swallowing any part of it; that she swal-
lowed a small portion of water on the
2Stb day of August, then taking a sim
gle swallow only; that this deponent
verify believes said Kate Smulsey has
not taken any nourishment except as
above stated since March IL, 1884; that
lrponent has had personal care of her
both night and day, always herself at
tending to her wants, giving medicine,
