THE DOINCS IN The BLUFFS.
Some Anxiety About the Future Of
the Motor Line.
SUNDAY SERVICES AND SERMONS

ous-Complaint of Leaking Dirt

The Motor Line.

There are some quiet moves going on
preparatory to the opening of the motor
line this spring, and the renewal OF the
enthusiastic rush for Lake Manawa.
The chief cause of delay last season was
the lack of crossings at the railway
tracks. 1t seems pretty evident that the
motor line will not be allowed to cross
the tracks at Ninth street. without
long and bitter fight with the railways.
1t is believed that the railway COM
panies will consent to the line crossing
their tracks at Seventh or Eighth
streets, If suitable crossings are put in.
1t seems that this matter might be
amicably arranged at once, SO that
everything could be put in readiness for
the weather is such as to make it de-
sirable. II the adjustment of these
difficulties is put off until the weather is
favorable for doing the work, delays
may arise, as last year. which would
prevent the public from having the
needed accommodations until too late in
the season to be Of anv use.
The citizens generally express them
selves as ready to give such help as
they can to the owners of the motor
line if they show an honest disposition
to help themselves and do the best they
can. The old owners and managers ex
hausted public patience by their re
peated promises and prolonged procras-
tinations. Mr.. Reed is very retlcent
and the public is not bored by any boasts
or flattering promises. He seems in
tent on his own business, and those who
know him best say he has both means
and pluck. AS the time draws nearer
for the expected opening of the line
there is naturally some anxiety and
much curiosity. The public seems to
want some promises, and yet has no
longer any faith in promises, especially
when they concern the motor line.

The Michigan Centrals Niagara.

The Michigan Central does not as
sumo the ownership of Niagara Falls,
but it does offer to its passengers from
its station at Falls View, the grandest
and most comprehensive spectacle that
the great cataract affords. 1t is the
only road that runs directly by the
falls, and from this pointallparts of the
cataract, the angry rapids above and the
boiling caldron below, are in full view
At this season, when the cliffs are hung
with gigantic icicles, and the trees and
shrubbery covered with curious forma-
tions of frozen spray, the scene reaches,
in the language of Bayard Taylor, "the
climax of beauty"

Clever Partisan Swindler.

A gang of clever swindlers have Just
been captured at Paris. The leader,
one Collet. used to buy out business es-
tablishments and manage to get away
with the goods and custom without pay
ing anything for them. He gave salts
factory references upon members of the
gang, who rented Offices for no other
purpose. He agreed to pay half cash,
which, by Partisan useage means eleven
days after publication of the legal an
nouncement of the sale and transfer.
These eleven days OF actual possession
Collet employed in learning the work.
ings of the business; that is, he sold out
as much of the stock as he could and
made new purchases to replenish the
stock, which he sold again at any price
he could obtain. On the eleventh day,
when the former proprietor came for his
money, he was given an order on Col
let's moneyed agent, whom he had to
look up in saloon in Belleville,
the most disreputable suburb
of Paris. The agent pro-
fessed to have been left without
funds; Collet maintained it was a mis-
take and produced a pass-book showing
a deposit of sufficient size. In that way
the creditor was sent to and fro for days
until he got eXaspered and threatened
legal proceedings. "All right" said
Collet, 81 shall await your summons. :"
And after that he declined paying, but
insisted on waiting to be summoned.
The suit required not less than two
months, during which large quantities
of goods were bought and never paid for,
but sold for cash at any price. On the
day preceding the granting of the war
rant of execution Collet sold out his
store to one of his accompllces, whom
the former proprietor was now compelled
to sue again. In spite Of all the warn
ings issued by the police, Collet con-
tinued to find ready victims all the time,
and could not have been stopped but
for the fact that he forged bills of ex-
change and was imprisoned on that
charge. A search of his dwelling on
Duris street disclosed immense heaps of
pawn-tickets for goods from any number
of stores he had bought and letters
showing that he had been selling forged
bills to a number of provincial cities,
amounting in one case to upward Of $lO,-
600.

Henry Guy Carleton in New York
World: Terrapin shooting in Chesa-
pealIe bay is a noble and exciting pas
time. The terrapin burrow in the mud
and the sportsman digs them out with a
long-handled shovel, and either i'm
merses them in a private stew or sells
them for $50 dozen to persons not
gifted with much Intelligence. 1t is
said to be very difficult to prepare ter
rapin for the table. The chief object is
to completely drown the natural flavor
of the reptile in a rich and fruity wine,
and when this is successfully done the
cook is at once entitled to a blue rib
bon.
Canyas-back ducks are more easily
cooked than the terrapin. Merely heat
the bird slowly through. Many persons
claim there is no difference be-
tween the canvas-back and the red
headed duck. There is. The simplest
way to tell canvas back is to look at the
bill of fare, whereon you will see his
name in large, full-face type for 81, and
many men prefer the red-head, which
only costs $3.50. Jay Gould has for
nineteen years abstained from canvas
back ducks and terrapin, and he is now
beyond want.

Dead fish by the thousands are float

Mile. Schaeffer, an actress from the Paris
Conservatoire, recently refused to appear at
a Rouen theater in tights. She did not care
to Rouen her reputation, so to speak, and

from playing in pieces in which tights are re
quired.
They are complaining in New York that in
Wagner opera one of the actresses came
twice out of q tomb in which she is supposed
to be dead, to bow her acknowledgements to
an audience What could be more absurd
than such proceeding! This whole prac-
tice of calling actors to make acknowledge
ment while play is in progress is inartistic,
and ought to be reformed. The objection to
it is that it interferes with the illusion of a
play-destroys it indeed-and in the illusion
is one of the chief charms of acting In the
earlier days of the drama-in Boston, at
least-actors were not called before the cur
tain before a play was over, and to ask
acknowledgment of them when the scene
was on, except at their entrance, would have
been Kissed, as it ought TO be now.
