Novel Method for Collecting the Bills of
Bad Customers--Legai Doubts
The owner OF an uptown restaurant has
had so many bad debts lately that he has
built rurnstile at his door, aud no customer
can escape Ill he has paid ths amount Of his
check 1t is c. lined that this detention is
utterly illegal and that citizen who found
himself on the wrong side Of the gate with
out the money to pay tor bis release could be
got out promptly on a writ Of habeas corpus.
and that afterward be could sue for heavy
damages for illegal detention, with a mir
chance Of getting handsome verdict The
restaurant keeper has been advised Of ell
this, but he says he is going TO take his
chances and collect all his bills until some
one interferes with him.
A heavily built gentleman with fierce
eye, who looked like a pensioned off prize
fighter, got caught in the machine the other
evening. His tenderloin steak, with grilled
mullins, cost him just fifteen cents more than
be had. He sailed gayly up TO the turnstiis
and asked the man who worked the appa-
ratus TO charge the fifteen cents 10 his ac-
count.
Milky" said the money taker We've
got you here, and We shall keep you till you
pay"
The tenderloin steak and tho grilled nnuf-
fms had infused fresh blood and courage into
the prize fighter. He made dash at tho
turnstile, but there was a catch like a brake

THE ARLINGTON FIRE VICTIMS.
OMAHA, Neb., May S-The funeral of
the victims of the Arlington fire took place
this afternoon at o'clock, and the bodies
were buried In the Lutheran cemetery. In
searching among the ruins of the barn a
remnant of q woman's dress was found
which was identified as that Of Mrs. Fred
Groteluschen. This was saturated with
blood, and Notwithstanding the fact that a
driving rain had fallen all day couple of
ounces of clotted blood still adhered to the
collar at the point where 1t was fastened to
the dress. The remains of the woman
were then exahumed, and upon exsmina
ton her throat was found to have been cut
directly across the trachea Attention
was called to this wound on her neck be-
fore she was buried, but the physicians
who examined 1t passed the opinion that 1t
was caused by the cork on the shoe of the
horse, under the body of which Mrs. Gro
teluschen partly lay when found. Mrs
Freese, daughter of Widow Freese, who
is here with her husband from Hanover.
Kan. will not believe that her family lost
their lives by accident. She declines to
say what her theory Is. Miss Emms
Freese, the daughter who was at Ainsworth
when the fire occurred, has not yet recov-
cred from the shock, and fears ale enter
tanned that she will become insane.

letter Of acceptance of the presi-

party is not long, and consists
Chiofly of favorable commentary
upon the party platform. Curtis
looks upon unrestricted immigration
and the mixing of church and state
rs evils threatening the national
existence with immediate danger,
and declares that the foreign ele-
ment is already, in many places,
debating laws, taking possession of
the schools, and controlling the
local governments of the people, and
abmdantly proves the necessity for
the American party and that the oc-
casion for it's formation has already
arrived. He declares against wars
and bloodshed, begs for close
union with England, asks for more
loyal support of the American con-
stitution, and declares that neither
the republican nor the democratic
parties are national parties.

Ladies in italian Society.

American ladies in Italy have very great
advantages. They are simpatica with the
Italians. Many Italian noblemen at the
court have American wives who are ladies
of honor to the queen and are great ia
v~orites. There is no more delightful So
ciety han that of Rome; it always re-
minds Americans of Washington, tho
same small set of intimates, who meet
everywhere, with a large encourage of
diplomats, and an English colony of dis
tinguished people.
No one ever gets very intimate, how
ever, with Italians. They are polite,
warm hearted and social up to a certain
point; but there it ceases. There is in
Rome, the more's the pity, a slow vanish
ing of the picturesque, but there is still
one relic of the past. A Roman great
lady may wear q modern gown, but she
retains her splendid jewels and the pride
of her thousand ancestors; h repels any
intimacy beyond q certain point. They
never wish to be touched, even by a ia
miliar hand in a friendly visit. The rule
to follow is, never touch the person.; it is
sacred. When q lady in Italian society
wishes to be very polite she will shake
hands once, but rarely a second time. If
her American friend is in affliction, she
will come and take the friends hand and
press it to her heart tenderly. She may
kiss the friend on both cheeks, but there
is none of that free and easy caress-
ing, that locking of arms, that douce,
gale, amiable manner of the French, nor
that almost careless school girl intimacy
which prevails in America.-M. E. w.
Sherwood.

HEAVEN N HELL.

While forced to dwell apart from thy dear face,
Love linked with Sorrow, led me by the hand,
And taught my doubling heart to understand
That which has puzzled all the human race.
Full many a sage has questioned where in space
Those counter worlds are, where the mystic
strand
That separates them. have found each land,
And hell is vast, and heaven a narrow place.
In the small compass of thy clasping arms,
In reach and sight OF thy dear lips and eyes,
There, there, for me, the joy Of heaven lies.
Outside-lol chaos, terrors, wild alarms,
And all the desolation fierce and fell
OF void and aching nothingness make hell.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox in The Cosmopolitan.
