Verify, the New York woman Of to-day
is rapidly multiplying her means Of indie
pendent and honorable livelihood. The
other day in the thropg OF great uptown
dry goods establishment, encountered
the manager at moment when one eye
was bent severely on business, while the
other followed with an admiring glance
the graceful and handsomely attired
figure Of lady who had just swept by,
Iastinctively my mind reverted to the
ever-present shoplifter, and asked
whether he contemplated having this par,
ticular lady searched.
"Searched!" he calculated. "Why,
she isn't thief She's shopper"
$50 are they all-all shoppers, are they
not?"
"You don't understand. She's pro-
fessional shopper-buys on commission

ness. I suppose there are at least fifty
professional shoppers in this city. They
advertise 10 many out. town papers and
send their personal circulars broadcast
among efgood class of people in other
cities. They give frst-clsss references
as to ability and character, and that's
enough. Take that woman who Just
passed, for instance. II a lady in Massa-
chusetts, Georgia or KENTUCKY Whites to
this house about her we recommend her Of
course. Why? Because we know she's
all right and because her purchases foot
up very handsomely every month-the
tributes mutual, don't you see2"
Some OF these shoppers make as much
money as any salesman in any ordinsry
retail house. They receive q discount
from the firm and add q commission to
their customers bill. Thus they dig the
golden ditch 1T either end; but as they
are blessed with brains sud taste above
the average, why shouldn't they?

An Appalling situstion,

QUINCY. ILL, May 17.-With each hour
the situation has grown worse, and is
now appalling. The floods continue to
rise, and are being further increased by
the heavy rain which began to fall this
morning and sill continues. All mills
and factories along the river front
in this city are now under water and are
shut down. The entire Suy levee district
is under water and is ruined. Hundreds
Of families are homeless and are campsd
on high lands with nothing to shelter
them from the rain storm except rudely
improvised tents made of qailts and
sheets. Many thousand acres Of the
most productive farming land in The
Mississippi valley are covered with from
six to fifteen feet of water, and the loss
from the local food in this vicinity can.
not be estimated. Reports from above
state that the river is still rising.

AUGUSTA, GA May 13.-The Mormon
problem in this city has rescued proper
tions which make it pressing for solution.
There are now in this city 100 Mormons,
VINO are now taking steps for their
organic .tion as local congregation. The
elders preach now in the houses Of their
members, but their membership Is grow.
ing SO large that they propose building q
church for regular services. Their con-
verts are carried to Grovetown
for baptism. A household once
committed to the tenets of the
faith, the elders begin their pastoral
work in the family, and it is said they see
visions and have spiritual communica-
tions, by the authority of which they take
the privileges not sanctioned by the laws
of this state and country.
A case was reported to-day in which q
prominent convert had vision in which
he was commanded to take up the mar
riage relation with three sisters who have
recently joined the band. 1t is the dis.
covery inst they have made up their
minds to remain here and grow up with
ths country that has alarmed the citizens.

We call upon our ministers to expose the

ers, and our citizens, young and old, of
all classes and denominations, to stamp
out this foul blot upon our civilization"

Deer vs., Steam,

AS the passenger train was speeding
along below Seville, Gs., day or two
ago, the engineer was not little sur
prisei to see beautiful herd OF seven
deer run out OF the swamp near by and
mount the trsck just ahead Of him. The
engineer blew his whistle, but
instead Of leaving the track the
deer star ed down the road ahead Of
the locomotive. The track was straight
as sn AFRO for ten miles, and desire
for o race with the flset-foofed denizans
of the forest WAS irresistible. For mile
or more race was kept up, during which
time the locomotive gained steadily when
suddenly the herd darted from the track
into the woods. The last to clear the
track was magnificent buck, and the en-.
gineer says the pilot was within ten feet
OF him when he made the leap.

There ia some talk about the Montana,

1t is said the company will build some 200

S. M. Rsmsdell, assistant chief engin-
eer OF the st. Louis, Arkansas and Texas,
was IN Fort Worth yesterday. He says
the Cotton Belt has got over the late
heavy rains, and the outlook is for 8
heavy business.
-.
1t is said that Just as coon as President
Brown Of the Texas and Pacific can get
arouad TO it he will have the Fort Worth
yards considerably enlarged and make ex-
tenslve improvements here. Fort Worth
has natural affection for the Texas and
Pacific, and the more the road prospeTs
the greater the pleasure OF this city.

Zab jenkins of Grapevine csme In yes
terdIy over the St. Louis, Arkansas and
Texas, and says the new road Is in fue
condition and thst good time is being
made. Mr.. jenkins says three or four
trains of freight for Fort Worth passed
over the road yesterday. Ia good time
the Cotton Belt will put on its parlor
trains from Memphis to this city when
that excursion should be arranged.
The Texas and Pacific Is doing splen
did business, aud it Is most gratifying to
the company to note the marked improve
mept on the Rio Grande division. Last
night there were in the Fort Worth yards
$50 loaded cars, while the yards at Baird,
Big Springs ana Sierra Blsnc, were full,
and In the Denison yards 200 cars were
waiting to be hauled to their destination,
Fort Worth. The Texas and Pacific is
rapidly adding to its motive power
and in a short time ten fine new locomo-
tives for work on the Rio Grande division
will be here. There was time when the
western division was operated ut less
to the company, but that time is no more.
The west is coming to the front, 1t Is be-
Cunning to get its Just deserts, and the
time Is at hand when the west will return
to the Texas and Pacific in the way Of
business its acknowledge ments for the
great good the Texas and Pacific has
done the west. Great is the Old Reliable,
the unparalleled.

ment made by William c. Chamberlain OF

French steamship La Gasccgne about 8
O'clock last evening.

lain was 3 passenger aboard Of her. He
was accompanied by two brothers, Ed
win Chamberlain Of Ssn Antonio, and Dr..
Arthur E. Spohn Of Corpus Chr sti, Tex.
The three gentlemen constituted party
which hurriedly left New York by the
steamship AIssks of the Guion line, to-
wsrd the latter part OF March, and whose
final destination WAS Paris.
On the Sch of that month Williem G..
Chamberlain was bitten by 8 mad wolf
near his home in Texas. Immediately
afterward, accompanied by his brother
and DR.. Spohn, he started for the French
capital to place himself under the treat
meut OF DR.. Pssteur, the noted discoverer
OF 8 method of cure for hydrophobls
Passage for the party WAS taken on the
Alaska, but when the Texans arrived in
New York che had left her deck, and they
had to board her from tug boat down

HIS PITIABLE CONDITION

was as nothing compared to the mental
agony he endured. The wolf that at
tackled him bit another man, and that
man died OF hydrophobis. Mr.. Cham
bsrlsin had had premonitorY sympto ms
Of the dread disease himself, and he
didn't know what time his turn to die in
sgony would come also.
DR.: Pssteur had expressed some appre-
hension when Mr.. Chamberlain came to
him that too long time had elapsed since
incubation from the bite, and 8 knowl.
edge of the Professors fears by no means
tended to reassure the patient.
However, the treatment of this case
proceeded under the personal care Of DR..
Pasteur at the institute named after and
conducted by the latter, and with SO
favorable results that on April q Mr..
Chamberlain was pronounced cured and
ischarged from the institute.
DIR. Pasteur then took occasion to say
to his patient that he had had very mar
row escape, and that he (the dOctor) had
small hopes OF being able to effect s pre-
vention of hydrophobia in his case when
he presented himself to him. He regard
ed the success Of his treatment of Mr..
Chamberlain as one of his most sstisfac,
tory evidences OF the efficacy OF his mode
Of preventing hydrophobia which he had
been privileged to observe. In this CO =
uection it may be mentioned that the
Herald recently, by cable, gave DR.. Pas
tours views In relation to the matter.
''DR PAsTRUR SAVED MY LIFE"
$50 now you know" said MIR. Cham
berlsin, after he had explained some Of
the particulars Of his case, "what 1 mean
by saying that went away dead man
and returned alive. There is no question
that DR.. Pasteur saved my life, and shall
never cease to express my gratitude to
him."
Mr.. Chamherlain's case was numbered
1903 on the list of DR.. Pasteur's patients
who had placed themselves in his hands
for protection against hydrephobis, and
Mr.. Chamberlain said last evening that
on the day when he was discharged from
the institute april 24) the total number
of patients had increased to $500.
DR. sPoHN PRACTICAL BELIEVER.
DR.. Spohn has brought quantity of
Ike RABBIT virus used by DR.. Pasteur with
him to this country, together with case
Of the necessary instruments for it's ap-
pile ,tion. He expresses the hope that
the general government will n time come
to recognize the value of the discovery OF
the grest French scientist, and encourage
in substantial way thu foundation of an
institu ion here like that established by
Pasteur in Paris.
The last words of Mr.. Chamberlain to
the reporter, as he babe the latter "good
night" were: 81 never felt better in my
life. I've hsd splendid time coming
home-ah, so different from my expert
ence going abroad, when I didn't know
from hour to hour when that terrible
madness would seize mel"
