LAST NIGHTS ARRESTS.

Valuable Property at the Station House
Awaiting the Owners.
Last evening officers Carroll and Nc
Laughlin ascertained that a quartet of sus-
picious characters were trying to dispose of
some ladies' wearing apparel and jewelry
70 the women on the lower part of L street.
They set trap for the supposed thieves
and succeeded in capturing two of them,
who gave the names of Cudder and Plum
kett. The latter was once before arrested
for vagrancy and driven out of the city, but
returned few days since. When arrested
they were trying to dispose of the following
articles: A ledy's sealette cloak, almost
new, fur tipped, and worth about $65. A
lady's felt hat, trimmed with yellow bird
head, tail and wings, worth several dollars.
a lady's gold bar breastpin, with solitaire
diamond setting. A lady's bangle bracelet
consisting of seven gold hoops. A ring
with emerald and ruby settings and the
central stone missing. A gold gents collar
button with brilliant ruby setting. These
articles they had in white pillow-case,
and the officers think were stolen from
some residence in this city last evening.
The prisoners are both young and de-
scribed by the officers as being a couple
OF tougns.
Last evening a man took nap in
a chair in street saloon. When
he woke up he missed his watch
and chain, also an individual who
had been sitting near him. He re-
ported his case to the police and gave a de-
scription of the suspected individual and
officer Lowell soon had the latter under
arrest. The watch and chain were found
upon his person. He gave the name of II.
NJ. Pike and stoutly denied the theft.
He said the watch, Waltham silver time
piece, had been presented 10 him by his
sister four years ago and showed where his
name pike" had been scratched on the
inside of the case. The scratching had evil
IDENTIFY been done with the sharp point of a
knife quite recently. The man who
claimed to have been robbed accompanied
the officer TO the jeweler from whom he
had purchased the watch and the latter
recognized the timepiece as the one he had
sold him

The fact that the sale of DIR. Pierce's
Pleasant Purgative Pellets exceeds that of
any other pill in the market, be it great or

are tiny, little, sugar-coated granules, and
that in most cases one little Pellet is

BOWSER'S LOVE LETTERS.

took her advice. and have always
been glad did. On several occasions
1 have used them to bring Mr.. Bowser
down off his high horse. and the fact
that they bother his peace of mind is
proved by the fact that he has several
times hunted the house over in my
absence in hopes to lay hands on them
Something went wrong at the office
the other day and he came home CAN
tankerous. He held in until he got to
the supper table, and then broke out
with:
Got any name for these things
here?"
Eyes, dear. They are called biscuit.
s'Well the man who calls 'em fit to
eat ought to be shoti Mrs. BOwser.
why is it can never get any thing
decent to eat in my own house?
"Why. Mr.. Bowser! No one could
take more pains than we do. In order
that the biscuit might be extra good
went out and made them myself. P"
''Humphr'
There was time, Mr.. Bowser, when
you raved over my cooking"
"Neveri 1 knew from the day set
eyes on you wading across mud pud-
die that you could never cook. You
can sing very well-as well as some
bad actresses-but you can't cook"
..And if / will prove that you once
hungered for my cooking you will"
Il will give you fifty dollars cash in
hand.
After supper 1 went upstairs and
brought down several letters. Mr..
Bowser had got his nose into maya
zine and wanted the matter dropped.
but I read to him the following ex-
tracts:
land thought darling while eating supper
that night how proud I should be over your
delicious cookery when we had q home OF our
own. The thought of those biscuits alone
makes me hungry. Goodbye. my pet"

ket; then she began to make wheat and.
graham bread. charging only eight
cents a loaf. and coming in eompetI-
ton with the bakers. as she made q
better loaf at about the same price.
Her father, whose name stands
at the head of her business, though the
daughter has done the work, is now the
largest baker in that city. His daughter
employs ten or twelve hands. and con-
tinues her work on plain domestic prin
ciples There is room in that city for IL
number of other just such bakers.
There is always demand in the citiCs
for cottage cheese or pot cheese which
is fresh and well made. The mass of
this product now furnished TO city mar
kets is made by poor peasants from
Europe. who have primitive ideas OF
cleanliness. and usually feed their COWS
on slops. Though there is II law pro-
hibiting this, it is Systematically eva
ded. especially in the smaller cities.
Good gingersnaps usually find ready
sale. 1t is wise for a woman TO coniinc
herself to one thing ut first. gain a
steady market for that in the nearest
city, or even in large village, then
add some other household products
that she is sure that she can make well.
She must not expect eXOrbitant profits
or her customers will be few. She must
keep a strict account of her expenses
and income. and be content with small
profits, and many customers are sure
to come. There is always more demand
for good bread and plain cake than for
any fancy or rich cakes--N. T. Ii-i5-

WORK FOR WOMEN.
How Domestic knowledge Can BE Turned
to Pecuniary Profit.

How Domestic Knowledge Can BE Turned
to Pecuniary Profit.
While there are many woman, busy
thinkers and willing workers, in farm
houses throughout the land anxious to
solve the problem of self-support. COM
paratively few expect TO find any solu-
ton of it at home. They are willing
to venture into unknown fields. to go
to the great cities and toll as telegraph
operators, rs workers in industrial de-
sign, and in a thousand ways. where
they are required to meet increased
expenses of living and the competition
of the thousands who are drawn hither
by the attraction of city life. Only af-
ter they have toiled for years and
learned how much drudgery is re-
quired to make a bare living in a single
room in a city clearinghouse, do they
turn back to the remembrance of the
old farm-life with regret. Very few
women are wise enough to turn their
domestic knowledge to pecuniary profit.
and when they do they are apt to trust
their goods to some Woman's Ex-
change, instead of going to the city
themselves and making their own bus
mess arrangements with some grocer
or agent, or with customers directly-a
far better method whenever practical.
When they think of doing any thing of
this kind. they instinctively turn to the
greater cities. though they may be far
away, instead of to the smaller ones
nearer by. The markets of New York are
better supplied than these smaller
cities. 1t is not difficult to get good
French bread in New York, which takes
the place of the domestic article. but
it is impossible to get even fair bread
in many of the larger and smaller in
land cities. Any farmer who brings in
bread or homemade pies to these cities
will meet with n ready remunerative
sale for his wares 1t is just three years
ago since wise young woman with a
strong affection for art, but stronger
common sense which kept her from in
dulging impraeticable dreams, con-
ceived the idea of becoming '.home-
made" baker. She began by making
pies. taking care to use the best ma
terials. allowing only small profit for
herself on each pie. She lived within
fifteen miles of city of eighty thou
sand Inhabitants, and her father was
in the habit of going thither to retail
some of Ids farm produce twice a
week. Her pies found a ready mar

contains in addition to the priE eipal
