began to sew a sleeve into an Overcoat.

.'Do hard times affect your business very
much?"
You bet, always helps us. You see,
when the times are hard and money scarce,
the boys can't afford to buy so many clothes
and they come to us to have their old ones
fixed up, and very often they are made as
good as new. We can take an Overcoat
that has been worn one or two winters, and
by binding it. putting in new lining and
sewing on new buttons, make it just as
good as new. and it saves great deal of
money to the owner. But Overcoats are
not the only garments we repair. We
fix up more pants, take it the
year round, than any other
piece of wearing apparel. The clerks are
our best customers and in their business
they wear out the rear of their pants long
before any other part of the garment shows
any signs of wear. We just cut out a
square chunk covering the worn part and
set in another piece and the pants are as
good as new, and the cost is hardly more
than half dollar or rs cents. Then, you
see, these fellows almost always wear long,
getaway coats that cover the patch. and

His position as chief clerk was rendered

Home Notes.

BARLEY Campbell's spectacular drama,
the ''White Slave" will open here to-mor-
row night. The public is too familiar with
the excelleneies of this play to need any ex-
tended introduction to it. The company is
the same as that which visited st. Paul be-
fore, with the exception that the role is
taken by comparatively new aspirant to
histrionic honors-Miss Nettie Hooper.
daughter of Mrs. Lucy Hamilton Hooper,
whose Paris letters have been for years the
leading feature of the foreign correspond
ence of the Philadelphia Telegraph. Mrs.
Hooper's father is an attache of the United
States legation in Paris She went on the
stage there, where BARLEY Campbell saw
her in '.Frou-Frou." He was pleased with
her acting and made her an offer to come to
America and join one of his companies.
She accepted.
She has been on the stage but few
months; and, according 20 Eastern critics,
has made an almost phenomenal success.

as an actress of genius. 1.-THE White

enough to wear off the gloss of novelty, but
its taking" capacity has apparently suf-
fered no diminution. The present company

is provided with those carloads of scenery
and scenic paraphernalia which so delight
the heart of the dear public.
The museums each seem to be doing a
good business and their popularity seems to
be increasing. At the Fourth street mu-
scum Col. Gore will have, among other
things ghost show, baby show and one
of the best magicians on the road.
Couldock, in his ancient play of the
"Willow Copse," did fairly successful en-
gagement in ST. Paul during the first part
of the week, but most people that go to the
theater only once week were saving their
pennies for the ''Mikado."
The s'White Slave" will be followed by
Mr.. and Mrs. Tony Hart in their new play
of Buttons" the story of which treats of
the impish pranks of two children of that
name.

Washington when it was announced that
Gov. Sheppard would not be here to at
tend the wedding himself. 1t is wonderful
to see the amount of affection there is for
him here. The people recognize him as the
author of the system of improvements
which has made Washington the beautiful
city that it is. His name is almost house
void word with those who saw Washington
when he took charge OF the management of
its affairs, and are enabled to contrast
Washington to-day with Washington of
that period. There are few newspaper
readers in this county who are not famil-
iar with the name of .'Boss Sheppard"

second assistant whose duties are of a mis-
cellaneous character, and third assistant
who has especial charge of the stamp de-
partment and delivery of mails. In the
state department there are three or four as
sistant secretaries. The first assistant, who
is usually spoken of as the assistant secre-
tary Of state, has especial charge of consular
appointments and matters pertaining to con-
slllar offices. The second and third as
sistants have various duties pertaining to
the workings of the department. At the
interior department there is an assistant
secretary and at the department of justice
a solicitor general, who is practically an as
sistant attorney. The treasury has. as indi-
Gated above, two assistant secretaries. They

UNLIKE MOST ASSISTANTS

in the other departments, placed on level.
Neither ono is first assistant OF second as
sistant. Each has his peculiar duties. One
of these positions was filled, it will be re-
membered, Immediately after the incoming
administration; Mr.. Fairchild of New York
having been appointed to that position.
The other Mr.. Coon has filled up to this
time. The duties of the position occupied
by Mr.. Fairchild relate mostly to tariff
matters. All questions arising pertaining
to import duties are referred to him for
final action. Of course there is an appeal
from him to the secretary himself, but ex-
cept in cases of the United States this is
not taken and when it is the rulings of the
assistant secretary are not often overturned,
for as he makes this business an especial
study he is likely to be quite as
good authority as the secretary him
self. The duties of the other position
of assistant secretary-the one occupied by
Mr.. Coon until now, are more of a miscel-
laneous character. The man who fills this
place must be competent to be secretary of
the treasury in the absence of that official,
and must have referred to him large pro-
portion of the general business of the de-
partment. Most of the accounts of the de-
partment, its expenditures and receipts,
its general official affairs pass under his
eye. He is a very important part of the
treasury department.. Mr.. Coon has held
the position since the resignation of Mr..
New of Indiana. His predecessor was Mr..
Upton, who had also been many years in
the service, and who is still resident of
Washington, carrying on brokerage bust
ness here. The office of the assistant secre-
tary is a couple of doors away from that of
the secretary himself. 1t is fine, large
room. handsomely furnished. The carpets
sink beneath your feet as you walk from
the door to the large and very handsome
desk at which the assistant secretary sits.
RANGED ABOUT THE ROOM
are leather-covered chairs and sofas and a
number of desks for the use of his callers
who may have occasion to do any writing
while they are waiting their turn. These
seats are often filed with callers, for the
assistant secretary is good deal in de-
mand. The ceilings are handsomely fres
coed. Huge mirrors rise between the high
and broad windows. The handsome man
tel is decorated with carvings. prominent
among which is bunch Of keys, while

SELECTING THE JURY.
O'RETLLY's SECOND TRIAL FOR
THE PFLUGER MURDER.

Two Jury Panels Exhausted and
New Panel OF fO1 Names Drawn
O'Reiny's Appearance After His Long
conference.-the Good Health and
spirits, but Has Little to Say.
When the Superior Court met yester-
day morning large crowd Of spectators
was present, expecting that the trial Of
the case against James O'Reilly, charged
with the murder Of Emil Phuger, would
be proceeded with. This impression was
doubtless founded upon the fact that the
case had been assigned for trial yester-
day, and because panel OF As jurors had
been summoned TO be present in addition
to those who were drawn previously,
but who still had a certain number Of
days to serve to complete the period Of
their attendance.
The prisoner was brought from the Jail
to the court house early in the morning,
and until the case was called was kept
under guard in the Sheriff's office. He
looked quite pale and thin from the effects
Of his confinement, but otherwise seemed
to be in good health and spirits. He had
but little to say 10 anyone who happened
to be near him and knew him.
His attention seemed to be absorbed
IN an endeayor to anticipate, if possible,
tine result Of the case against him.
Tie work Of selecting n jury occupied
the attention Of court until $3.50
O'Clock in the afternoon, at
which time but four jurors
were impaneled. OF this number three
were selected from the liss Of IS drawn
on June II and from the jury drawn
previous to that date, whilst one was Sc
lected from panel Of IS jurors drawn
during the sitting of the court Yesterday.
FOrty-oIe went of for cause, were object
ed to by the State, and II by the defendant.
When the respective panels were ex-
hausted. the court ordered that a panel
consisting Of 10l names should by drawn
and the parties summoned to be present
in court this morning at O'Clock, to
which hOur a recess was taken.
The prisoner was remanded TO jail, and
viii brought ogt again this morning. The
case upon its first trial excited good
deal Of interest. The difficulty which at
tends the obtaining of a jury and the legal
points which will be brought up at the
present trial will doubtless prolong it for
some time.

RAISING MUSTARD SEED.
A New Industry Developing in Middle
Georgia.


The latest industry developed in Geor-
gia, and which promises success, is the
culture of mustard seed.
Hon. II. w. Fort, OF Perry, Houston
county, has recently contracted TO furnish
some seedsmen of the North with 60bush-
els of mustard seed. 1t is said to be a crop
unadapted to most soils and climates. For
year or two past the mustard plant has
been grown in the central part of
this State as an experiment. 1t has been
demonstrated that the small seed mature
satisfactorily in that section.
Ferry, of Detroit, and Buist, Landreth
and other large dealers in seeds pay 20
cents pound, which, at 80 pounds TO the
bushel, is $40. Inferior seed for grinding
brings only half as much.
Mr.. Fort is the gentleman who
few months ago induced some
ten families, of four or five per-
sons each, to emigrate from New
England and settle in Houston county. A
few Of their number came in advance, in
spected the county, found out all that
they could about its resources and We're
favOrably impressed with the State. After
settling in their new home they began to
build houses and barns. An ill-advised
article in paper in that part of the State
spoke OF the climate as unhealthy. This
alarmed some of the settlers, and about
half of them moved away to
other parts of Georgia, and
few went to Florida. About %
remained. They proved to be thrifty, in
dusTi0us farmers, and went to work in
earnest. Their cotton and corn crops
now are looking very well, aud good
yield is expected. Thus encouraged,
there is little doubt but that
the colony will prosper and in
crease. Up to the present time
there has been no more sickness than Or
diuarily experienced 10 their New Eng
land home. The residents have assisted
the new Corners when desired, and have
added much to their satisfaction with the
change.
Mr.. Fort has a large tract OF land in
Houston county which he is endeavorng
TO settle and develop. The success of last
years experiment in colOnizing will
stimulate others, and another effort viii
be made to attract settlers. Cotton plant
ing is q new industry to them, but the
present condition of their crop is proof
that they will get along.
Ifmustard planting turns out to be lucra-
tive, there will be little trouble in Undue
ing immigrants to take hold of 1t. When
ripe the stalks are cut with a sickle and
threshed in sheets, as that is the best way
to save the seed. A good market is as
sured for all Of the seed that will proba-
blv be raised
