FURNISHING A ROOM.
How to Arrange Things to Produce a
Pleasing Effect.

How to Arrange Things as to Produce a
Pleasing Effect.
1t is not so much what we put into a
room, but how it is arranged in regard
to pleasing effects of harmonious color
and the general congruity of furnish
ing.
1t is very customary now with the
people of moderate, or even good
means, to combine in one the parlor
and the library. Some really aesthetic
and beautiful homes are so arranged.
and the convenience and good taste
commends itself to our consideration.
In an altered house, which | visited
not long ago, parts of the partition be-
tween two rooms OF moderate size had
been taken out and handsome cur
making the two really one room. On
either side shelves had been placed
from the floor to within two feet of the
ceiling. The space above each set of
shelves being left for moderate-sized
pieces of statuary. There were also
shelves in the spaces on either side of
the mantel. In the center of each
room was handsome table, and the
mantel in the front room was
carved wood. with mirrors and fancy
shelves for bric-a-brac. In the back
room there were no shelves; the walls
. of each apartment were papered with
robin s-blue satin paper, with dado
of rich design. The pictures were
few, but good. One. fine landscape
in oils. representing a hunting scene
in the Rocky mountains. a scene by
moonlight.
On the ground, before the hut of the
hunters lay the lordly stag. his mag
nifcent antlers acting as points to
catch the light from the lurid flames
of the huge fire built just outside. In
the foreground a group of fine horses.
In the background the mountains and
the swaying cedars.
A French print. a Madonna. hung in
fine light, while panel of pink mag
nolias was arranged to catch the rays
OF the afternoon sun; another panel
of the yellow gelsemium seemed al
most to breathe the fragrance of its
native Georgian mountains.
Scarfs were everywhere; those Of
boiling cloth, painted, and others Of
silk with a lace-like texture. One had

THE TRIENNIAL CONCLAyE

A good time to visit the National
Capital and other places of interest in
the East, will be during the Trien.
nial Conclave of Kuigh-s Templar at
Washington, in October. L. is the
best of the year for an excursion, the
weather being usually clear anG pleas
ant, and the scenery more attractive
than at any other time.
The pleasure of the trip, however,
will depend much upon the route Sc
lected. From nearly all points west
of the Mississippi River, the most
practicable rOul e Is through ST. Louis.
1t is the natural gateway between the
West, and the East, and in recog-
milton OF this fact all the great railway
systems west of the river have fast
through car arrangements to st Louis
over their own lines of those of their
direct connections. Thence eastward,
the quickest route by several hours,
and the only one having double
daily service of through car lines
from ST. Louis to Washington is the
Ohio & Mississippi Railway. Every
morning and evening a superbly APP
pointed Vestibule train of Palace
Cars leaves 81. Louis over the o. *

Sleepers for Washington, Baltimore,

b. d .. K. Il. These trains also con-
meet in the Central Union Depot.

peake d Ohio Ry., thus Offering
choice of routes over the mountains OF
Maryland and Virginia. The noun
tam scenery along these lines il Justly
famous, while the climate of the Al.
leghanies In this latitude is mild
enough to render the ride over the
mountains agreeable.
The rate has been fixed at the low

trip, with the privilege of returning

A SHOT GUN WEDDING
Conductor Miller, of This City,
Unexpectedly Becomes
a Bridegroom.

An officer from ChamOis came here
Thursday armed with writ for the
arrest of one Al Miller, a conductor
on the middle section of the Missouri
Pacific, who is wanted at that place
forthe seduction of a young girl under
promise of marriage. The warrant
was duly marked o X BY Justice
Halstead and Miller was soon in the
hands of the law. He was hustled
back to Channels and the father of the
girl with a revolver in hand, marched
the young man up to the matrimonial
altar, where he was united with the
girl he so deeply wron@ed. The girl
is only is years of age and is as bright
and pretty as picture. Her father
objected to Miller going to see the
girl, but his objection made her think
ali the more of him, and he easily ac.
complishe! her ruin. At least the
girl and her parent claim that he did.

THE DRY-GOoOS PRICsR.


Women in Large Cities.
There are scores of women who fol-
low the mysterious calling Of the
s'pricer," ana they are generally la
dies who once had excellent means OF
their own. Dry goods houses dread
these operators. and the employees
are constantly on guard against those
employed by other houses, although
each house has its own pricers. This
secret-service system has grown out
of rivalry and close competition. The
public knows nothing about it. yet it
Is carried on in a large way. Two
ladies, suspected of being pricers,
were recently elected from New
York store. They got five thousand
dollars damages for that. The Incl
dent sufficiently explains the relations
of pricers TO the trade at large. Mrs.
Il. is professional pricer, and her lot
l. not altogether an unhappy one. She
l. in receipt of good salary from
prominent Sixth avenue firm, which
cheerfully defrays her bills for such
incidentals as carriage hire, luncheons,
messenger-boy fees, etc. All that she
does in return is TO go shopping good
deal. Through the medium of a con-
tidential clerk the firm receives from
her, almost daily. a great many goods
purchased by her at different stores.
These are usually lower in price or
superior in style TO similar goods in
their own stocks. She also writes
long reports of the prices and styles
OF other goods which she has exam
ined in her shopping tour. With the
articles thus purchased and her re-
ports before them, her employers ad-
Just prices and styles in their own
departments.
No one pricer could do this work I'M
der aHt circumstances, hence several
are employed. A sample-day of Mrs.
T : operations would be like this:
About half-past nine o'clock "A. m, a
messenger calls on her with a note
from the confidential clerk. She will
make memoranda from this note,
which she commits to memory. She
goes shopping only in fine weather,
wnen there will pc crowds in the
stores, and she can more easily avoid
close observation from foor-walkers
and detectives, but though the dis
rances are short, she frequently uses
coupe. She dresses rich. although,
perhaps, the very seal-skin Newmarket
she wears to-day will be sold tO-mor-
row from her employers stock; wears
diamonds sometimes, and has alto
gether the air elegant. In a mornings
work, from ten o'clock a. m. to one
o clock p. m. she will visit five or six
stores. In each, she calls at a number
of departments, taking care. however
the confidential clerk, too, has been
.Yary in his directions-not TO visit
counters where she has very recently
made purchases or examinations. No
customer would naturally buy the
same kind of an article over and over
again, or even similar articles, and she
must especially avoid such an error.
