A SHREWD COLLECTOR
His Novel Scheme for Forcing the Paymen
of Debts.

His Novel Scheme for Forcing the Payment
of Debts.
A district bill collector has devised
new way of collecting debts from the
impecunious members of the foreign 1e-
cations who have sought protection be-
hind the laws which prevent their being
prosecuted for debt. The bill collector
has had a large envelope made of the
coarsest and most vulgar tinted paper.
Upon this envelope he has had printed,
from ragged wood cut, a badly drawn
design of starved chicken, just emerg-
ing from shell, chasing a fat fly, which
is down well toward the horizon of the
clumsy picture. By the side of the
picture is painted: eff you can't catch
him within five days, please return to
John Blank, Constable and Bill Col
lector." He pursues the foreigner who
will not pay with these envelopes. He
orders them sent in to these distinguished
representatives of the outside nations at
all times and upon all occasions. A
young foreigner may be calling upon
some heiress whom he is anxious to en-
slave, when in will come one of these
terrible envelopes upon waiter handed
over by grinning servant. Any young
diplomatic who receives one or two OF
these envelopes at the house where he
may happen to lodge is generally mott
fled that he had better change his quar-
tiers. The result is that John Blank
Constable and Bill Collector, has had a
decided success in making the young
foreigners pay bills where, in the past, |
they have ignored the most strenuous
demands for payment presented in ordi-
nary fashion, Washington Capital.

DAKoTA's DEMAND.

Representatives of South Dakota m Wash.
ington Looking After the Interests OF
Their ..State"-Judge Moody Senator"
Elect Gives His Ideas of What is Wanted.
WASHINGTON, d. c., January g.
A squarely built man of fifty, with silky
beard, rosy complexion and blue eyes,
registered at the National Hotel yester-
day evening, saying: SIN from Dskota-
one of those so-called Senators, named
Moody. want good room and no re-
porters." Judge Moody came alone, his
colleague, Senator-elect Edgcrton, hav-
ing been snow-bound on his way through
Minnesota. With Senator-elect Edgerton
are Governor Mellette, the so-called Gov
ernor of South Dakota, Theo. d. Vanones,
a so-called Congressman-clect. They are
expected to-day. Judge Moody spoke
without reserve on the subject of admis-
sion. He said:
81 suppose, but do not know de finitely
that we shall be invited by the majority
of gentlemen in the Senate who favor
Dakota's admission to come upon the
floor of the Senate and enjoy its privi-
leges. OF the question of admission
can only say that we expect that
Dakota will be put in the Union this
out there that the President is a thor
oughly just man, and that if he knows
what is right he Will do it. AS for
the idea of keeping the Territory whole
until Federal officers can make it Demo-
cratic, it is nonsense. If the Federal
offices were all, we could settle this
whole matter in twenty minutes. We
will give the Democrats all the federal
offices in the Territory in trade for adj
mission"
1--WE have no special plan of procedure
in pushing our claims before Congress for
Statehood, except as is laid down in the
memorial adopted by our convention"
said Judge Moody. 'This even
ing" he continued, 'my colleague,
Senator Edgerton, and Governor Mellet-
tee and Representative Kanouse, will ar
rive here, when some additional arrange
ments may be made, but l think not.
We came here simply to lay our claims
for Statehood before Congress in per-
son, and to give legislators all informa-
ton on the subject we can. We are
proceeding in order, and shall not try
to make any excitement or create undue
ayitation.'
sWhat do you think of the proposition
TO admit the whole Territory as one
State'' was asked.
"We want Statehood by the admission
Of South Dakota alone" replied Judge
Moody, "and if we cannot come in that
way we will not come in at all If we can
help it, There is nothing congenial be-
tween the people of North and South
Dakota, or 1.-THE interests in those sections.
We want to be separated, divided, and it
must be on an east and west line"
'sThen you do not like the proposition
to divide on line running north and
south?'
"Oh, that is simply a burlesque. There
is nothing sincere in that proposition"
