81 can do better with bad bills than
anybody else" says the manager, "be-
cause l employ professional collectors.
Collecting is a profession just as much as
soliciting is, or the practice of medicine or
law. The collector must be a diplomat,
a courtier, a judge and a II eXecutioner. 1
rave men in my employ who command
big salaries because they have developed
wonderful tact in this direction. To show
you the difference in men, last week 1
gave a lot of down town bills to a new
collector. After two days work he came
back without Il dollar. This week my
regular collector returned to work. The
debtors were strangers to him, as they
had been to the other man, but this col
lector knew his business and t'other
one didn't This mar came back with
about so cent. of the money. l have the
city divided into districts, and each col
lector attends strictly to his own terri
tory. That saves unnecessary travelling.
1t also enables him to make frequent calls
where he can get his money only on the
installment plan, which is a method often
pursued with poor people.
II can tell you one thing. 1t is not the
poor people to whom money comes slowly
and by hard knocks that refuse to pay
their bills. They will pay when they can.
1t is the well to do dead beats hat give
us most trouble-men who could pay, but
won't just as long as they can get out of
it. You would be surprised to hear the
names of some of the dead beats l could
mention to you-prominent business men
and man high in official station. Lawyers
are the worst. 1 do not mean the poor,
struggling lawyers, for they cannot get
extensive credit; but successful, promi-
nent lawyers, who could pay if they would.

While San Francisco pays close atten-
ton to European fashions in dress, it fur
nshes more examples of originality in
styles than most large cities. This is
particularly true of the wearing of wraps
and overcoats. For this the glorious eli
mate is largely responsible. In New York
on a fine summer day the lady who would
parade Broadway in a heavy sealskin
ulster would certainly be regarded with
more than interest. Equally astonishing
in the metropolis would be the sight of a
lady in midwinter strolling through the
streets in a thin, close fitting dress with
out muff, wrap or tippet. Such anachron-
isms pass unnoticed in Sal Francisco,
however.
There is no climatic or fashionable de-
cree that forbids the appearance of the
sealskin ulster anywhere, and it does
active service throughout the year. Oc-
casionally it does duty under trying cir
cumstances, for the fog or wind of a sum
mel day is likely to give place at any mo
ment to undimmed sunshine that makes
the thermometer 90 dogs. in the shade.
Strangers from older communities, where
the sealskin ulster comes into fashion only
for a brief space in the twelvemonth, are
amazed at its perennial reign in San
Francisco. The fair sex are not the only
ones who present sharp and strange con-
trasts in the matter of overdress. The
overcoat is not often n necessity in San
Francisco, and is worn more for style
than comfort as a rule.-San Francisco
Chronicle.

MIDDLE-AGED MEN.

There are many men OF the age of 30 10 go who
are troubled with too frequent excavations OF
the bladder often accompanied by a slight
smarting or burning sensation and a weaken
ing OF the system in a manner the patient can
not account for. ON examining the urinary de
posits a ropy sediment will often be found, and
sometimes small particles of alhumen Will ap-
pear, or the color will be of akin or nlilkish
hue, again changing TO a dark and turbid 0p-
pearance. There are many men who die OF
this difficulty ignorant of the cause, which is
the second stage of seminal weakness. DR..

DEFENDING THE SUGAR TRUsT-The case OF
the People against the North River Sugar
Refining company was continued in New
York yesterday before Judge Barrett in
the supreme court special term. James
C. Carter, of counsel for the defendant con-
tinued his argument He said the combina-
tended as a monopoly for the manufacture of
sugar, nor was it for the purpose of increasing
the price Of sugar. Sugar, he said, was a
commodity limited only by inability to manu-
facture. The raw material was unlimited in sup
ply, and all that was required for its manufac-
ture we're capital and labor.
