Preparing for Chris tmas.

Few people sweItering in this July

ing their brains over what shall be the
new designs for Christmas cards next
winter" remarked Broadway dealer
| to a Mail and Express reporter. Mot
only that, but it would surprise you,
perhaps, to see some entirely new and
elegant models for next Christmas al
ready made. just wait moment and
will give you such surprise"
The dealer brought out from small
back room pile of large fiat pasteboard
| boxes. They contained the cards refer
red to. Most of them were in white
satin and plush. There were fifty diff
| ferent designs. One was banner by
II inches in size, with white satin fold
ed down each side and tied back with
| gold cord to represent curtains. The
picture represents an angel, the face be-
ing remarkably pretty. Another was a
| standard banner, leaf-shaped, covered
with white plush and having border
| of gold cord. On the center was a re-
presentation of an artists palette, con-
tanning hand-painted picture Through
the palette was put a bunch of dried
| grass. Another handsome design was
a pin-cushion of white satin, with white
plush border and containing embossed
flowers in colored plush. A very beau
tiful design was a jewel-box, 1S inches
long by & inches wide, covered with
plush and bordered with gold cord. On
the top there were embossed flowers in
plush, and the whole was lined with
| iight-green satin. A number of the
models were made in japanese silk
which is to be prevailing novelty fol

was a wall-pocket in white, with cor,

were embossed flowers IN plush. An.

A Cunning Tailor.

Young James Blank, whose father is.
among the milliOnaires, lounged into a
tailor shop some weeks ago and ordered
a suit of clothes. The suit was sent to-
the young mans hotel, but, of course,
the tailor got no money for it. A few
DAYS ago as Master James was passing
the tailor shop the bland proprietor
hailed him with smile
"Why, Master James," he said, ''that
coat is horribly wrinkled; come in and
we will press it for you Unsupecting-
" he entered and surrendered the coat
Then something was wrong with the
vest, and that, too, was taken down.
stairs for treatment The tailor next
declared that the trousers might be i'm
proved upon. They were given up and
the youth accommodated with seat in
/ the dressing-roOm.
Now" said the witty tailor, You
will have to send messenger-boy 10
your room for your other clothes, for
am afraid we can not let YOU have this
suit again unless you liquidate that bill
/ in full"
Young Master James begged hard
! for his clothes, but the tailor was in
exorable, and much to his disgust he
resumed his winter garments and de-
parted.-SaIl francisco Post

The Torn.Check SWindle.

A new and ingenious swindle has
been detected, as follows: A check. say
for 80, is obtained from depositOr at
a bank and a blank check exactly like
the filled-in check is secured. The two
checks are laid one upon the other, so
that the edges are exactly even. Both
checks are then torn irregularly across
and in such way that the signature on
the filled check appears on one piece
and the amount and name of payee on
the other. The checks having been
held together while being torn, of
course one piece of the blank check will
exactly fit the other piece of the filled
check The swindler then fills in one
piece of the blank check with the name
of the payee and the amount to suit
himself, say 5000, takes it with the
piece of genuine check containing the
| signature of the bank, and explains that
the check was accidentally torn. The
teller can put the pieces together, and
as they tit exactly the chances are that
he will think that the pieces are parts
of the same check and become victim
of the swindle. The trick. of course,
suggests its own remedy. The teller
should refuse to pay any check that is
mutilated. Boston Transcript.

TIE NEW LABOR PARTY.
An Organization to be Formed Having
a Wide Scope.

j
PITTSBURGH, Dec. 8.--A circular has
just been issued by the national COM
mittee of the United Labor organiza-
tion, containing the declaration of the
principles and objects of the movement
to form a National Union Labor party
at the convention to be held in Cincin-
natl, February %, 1887. Representa-
tives have been appointed to represent
the different organizations. The circu-
lar sets forth that the. representatives
renounce all other political parties to
the end that legitimate labor may be
emancipated and the government re-
stored to the people. The plan of Or
ganizatlon contemplates the appoint
ment of an organizer for each state
and territory, such organizer to
appoint a district organizer for each
congressional district in his state, and
the district organizer to appoint local
organizers. The basis; OF representa-
tion gives each congressional district
one representative for each Of the fol-
lowing orders or organizations in such
districts: knights of Labor, trades
unions, Greenback Labor party, Farm
ers' Alliance, grangers and patrons of
husbandry and monopoly leagues. Peo-
pies party, farmers and laborers coop.
eratiye union, agricultural and soldiers
organizations. and all other organiza.
tions which endorse and subscribe to
the new declaration of independence.

and with which a married sister OF

CHICAGO, Dec. 8-The nter-O Ocean
in q late edition says that Miner L.
Ames, the millionaire coal merchant, is
the victim of Theodore s. Mize, his
confidential bookkeeper and cashier,
and secretary of the Chicago and Min
aux Coal and Coke company, who perpe-
trated a robbery that is estimated at
one hundred thousand dollars, and
may exceed that Mize, who is one Of
the best known men in local business
circles and q member of the Union
Veteran club, and Opella club, has been
in the employ of Ames since
1872. Within a couple of years from
the time he entered Ames's employ he
began systematic course of robbery,
covering up his dishonesty by false
entries and by other schemes.
| The father and mother Of Mize
admitted the truth of some Of the
charges, but said the amount taken
had been grossly exaggerated. They
said he had overdrawn his account and
when Ames returned from Europe he
confessed and turned over his resi-
dence to his employer. a.
At first his stealings were compare
lively small, but of late years, it is
rumored, his peculations have FIRE;
quently reached $1,000 in single
month. ,,3g...s s5,5a X
About-a week ago Ames discoyerd
something wrong with the money
accounts. and.it is said he taxed Mize
with dishonesty. Mize confessed hi
guilt, and said he had beena robbinl
his employer for years. He begged TO
mercy and promised restitution SO ia:
as lay in his power. Since then, hi
property that could be found, lnclud
ing a fine house, has been turned owe
to Ames. Mize could not be foun,
last night, but is believed to be stop
ping with his father. Besides tn
extravagant manner in which he an,
, his wife lived, it is asserted that Mize
at various times, supported three othe
women, on whom he lavished money.
+ 1t is now stated that the defalcatiol
amounts to $4,000. The develop

An lncestuous Parent.

PHILADELPHIA, Penn, Dec. 8.-Alice
Hughes, aged 13 years, living in
Franklin township, Glouster, N. j.,
became the mother, Monday, of a
female infant, weighing eight pounds,
the father of which is the girls own
father, Henry Hughes, laboring man.
An investigation revealed the fact that
the father has committed the same
crime upon an older daughter, three
years ago. Both children are still
living. No action has been taken by
the authorities. Three older daughters
OF Hughes were compelled, three or
four years ago, to leave home, on
account of improper conduct on the
part of their parent.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. Eight negro

river steamer, Matte Bell, arrived at
the union depot last night with badly
frozen hands, feet and faces. They
had been. working on the boat at
Pearl island, on the Illinois river all

they became SO badly frozen that they

Four of their number we're in such a
bad condition that their. hands and
feet will have to be amputated.

DETROIT, Dec. 8.-The Journals
Grand Rapids special says: A. H. Ell
wood, mail agent on the Grand Rapids
& Indiana railroad, between here and
Cincinnati, was arrested this morning
at the post office, charged with system
atically robbing letters, and seventy
five marked bills were found in his pos
session. He acknowledged that his
peculations amount to $1,000. Elwood,
who is veteran soldier, in poor health,
has wife and three children at his
home in Silver Creek, Indiana. He
was led to steal by the fear of leaving
his family unprovided for. An exam
ination will be held today.
