A Shop Girl Gets $4,000.

Yesterday in the United States
Circuit court was decided the case of
Katie Rahan of Minneapolis against
the Singer Manufacturing company,
which suit was brought to recover
damages for injuries sustained by
Miss Rahan by being knocked down
and run over by one of the Singer
sewing Machine company's local de-
livery outfits. The case was par
tic,larly interesting one, somewhat
novel, and during the trial some very
Interesting facts were brought out.
The accident whereby plaintiff was
injured occurr ed at Franklin avenue
and Eight avenue south on April 10
last. The horse which ran against
Miss Rahan was being driven by
Thomas J. Corbett, one of the COM
pany's agents. 1t appeared that Cor
bett, in turning to one side to pass
buggy which was being driven in
front of him, turned to the right, and
tile young woman had no opportunity
of avoiding the second carriage.
The court ruled that the law requir-
ed that when passing a team which
is in front and going in the same
direction the driver must turn to the
left-just the opposite from what is
required when meeting team going
in an opposite direction. Expert
testimony was taken to show
To- what extent the victim of the &C.
cident had suffered. and it was shown
that,she. had been rendered a helpless
cripple, probably for life. The de-
Tense endeavored to prove that Cor
bett was NOT regular agent of, the
sewing machine company. but was
selling the machine on commission.
This did not figure. apparently. and
after being out about ten minutes
the jury returned verdict awarding
Miss Rahan $4,000. A forty days
stay of proceedings has been granted.

Cleveland. both in the convention

one of the Presidents warmest de-
Tenders, and it was his statement to
the Minnesota delegation that kept

last week the Tanmany organization
was Hills warmest supporter, which
action may be taken as an evidence of

The Modern American Girl.

Tritten for THE SUN.
Tho daughter sits in the parlor,
And rocks in her easy chair,
She's clad in her silks and satins,
And jewels are in her hair.
She winks, and giggles, and shippers,
And shippers, and giggles, and winks,
And tho she talks but little,
Ills vastly more than she thinks.
Her father goes clad in russell,
And ragged and seedy at that
His coats are out at the elbow,
lie wears most shocking bad hat.
He's boarding and saving his shillings,
So carefully day by day,
While she on her beaux and poodles,
Is throwing them all away.
She lies a. he'd in the morning,
Till nearly the hour of noon;
Then comes dow n swapping and snarling,
Because she was called too soOn
Her hair is still in the papers,
Her cheeks still dabbied with paint,
Remains OF the last nights bl ashes,
Before she intended to faint.
She doats upon men unshaven,
And men with "the flowing hair"
She's eloquent over mustaches,
They give such 4 foreign air,
She talks of Italian music,
And falls in love with the moon,
And tho but Il mouse should meet her,
She sinks away in a swoon.
Her feet are so very little,
Her hands are SO very white,
Her jewels are so very heavy,
And her head SO very light;
Her color is made OF cosmetics,
Tho this she never will own,
Her body 5 made mostly of cotton
Her heart is made wholly of stone.
She falls in love with fellow
Who swells with foreign air,
He marries her for her money,
She mayries him for his hair;
One of the very best matches
Both are ell mated in life,
She's got a fool for a husband,
He's got fool for wife.

New YORK Special.
Jay Gould carefully read this afternoon the
published dispatch from Port Jarvis in which
It was asserted that he still owed cobbler at
Alligerville, In Ulster county, for necessary re-
pairs to his shoes when he was engaged in sur

up from the newspaper clipping which reporter

Snyder had told me to do. and l took out my
book to make the entry. The farmer squared
off at me at once, and from him, and afterwards
many others, learned that Snyder was in very
bad repute in a financial way. 1t put me on my
guard, however. and when my work was done
refused to give it up before was paid. Snyder
