SHE PAYS FOR HER wHIM.
A New Custom Introduced From

A New Custom Introduced From
the Other side of the Water.
New York Sun.
A group of extensively dressed
women stood in the parlors of fash
iouable ladies' costumer on Fifth ave-
nue. the other day, and their flashing
eyes indicated that something had gone
wrong. The eyes were directed toward
a woman who stood little apart from
them and was receiving the eoncen-
trated attention of an ObSeQuiouS artist
in lady's attire. There was nothing in
the lady's attire. which was severely
simple in style and fitted her form like
a glove, or in her face, which was no
prettier than New York ladies' faces
usually are, to indicate occasion for an
ger. If the reader had stepped nearer
to the group he would have heard these
expressions:
swell. declared
ibid YOU ever see the like?'
land we were here before she came"
"I'II Just go and complain to the pro-
prietor." s
What had caused the trepidation
among the fair women was the fact that
the attendant had been engaged in an
Swering the questions of some of their
number and showing them costumes,
but when the stranger entered the par
lor he asked to be excused for moment
and had been talking with her for fifteen
minutes. The stranger then asked to
see some garments, and the garments
were spread out, but none was Dur
chased. Finally the stranger took from
her pOcketbo0k a greenback of large de-
nomination and walked out as quietly
as she had entered.
To the indignant protest of the group
of women who proceeded to complain
to the proprietor that the clerk had neg
lected them in glaring manner, and
had violated all rules of shopping good
behavior. he replied: Ladies', no slight
was intended. The fact is that we have
contracted with that lady to instantly
attend to her wishes at any time she
enters our doors. She is the daughter
of millionaire IN Connecticut, the wife
of prosperous Broadway merchant,
and lives in Brooklyn. She is rich in
her own right. 1t was her proposition
that she should not be compelled to
wait her turn when she came in, and
for the privilege she was willing to pay
us well. We set the price at $50 visit,
hoping the price would be too ex-
travagant to pay; and, we furthermore
stipulated that the sum should be paid
at every visit, whether she bought any
thing or not.
Usually" added the proprietor,
''there is an extra clerk or two around
to wait on her, but as there was none to-
day we had to call on the clerk who was
with you. Please accept our apologies"
To the reporter whom the incident
was related by one of the group of ladies
the proprietor of the place said yester-
day: The custom for paying for eX-
elusive and immediate attention is new
III this country. 1t was introduced from
London, where it occasions no surprise.
In democratic country it isn't relished
much, but 1t is becoming every day
more prevalent, owing, of course, to the
increase of wealth."

ficers were reelected: Mrs. Thomas

Failure Threatened at Last.
The retail dry goods clerks are having
a hard time, indeed, in their efforts to
induce their employers to join in the
popular early closing movement. After
failing twice in less than year, they
circulated a third petition last week
and secured the signatures of the mer-
chants to close their stores at $50.
There was not dissenter, and the
clerks were happy in the belief that the
new regime would go into effect Mon
day night. They were too sanguine,
however, for when Monday night came
one of the downtown merchants, M.
Mealy. did not close his store. though
he had signed the agreement. The fact
that three little stores, one on Rice
street, one on West Seventh and an
other on st. Peter street, did not close,
was given as an excuse for his action.
Mr.. Mealy's refusal to close will proba-
bly, result in the complete failure OF the
movement, as other downtown stores
will very likely repudiate the compact;

A Losing Business Causes Swift &

Fl. Swift & Sons, the well-known COM
mission merchants at 124 East Third

the lawyer, yesterday. The assignment
was precipitated by the inability of the
firm to meet maturing notes held by the

honored, and Monday another piece of

He said that the liabilities amounted TO
about $4,000. mostly due to local firms.

Sleeveless Arms.

There is considerable opposition in
France to the revival of the custom of
wearing short sleeves in the daytime.
When womens' arms were uncovered in
our grandmother's days they were red ,as
a rule. and were badly chapped in cold
weather. WOmen's arms have improved
much in the last two or three gener-
ations, for the reason that they have not
been exposed to wind and weather,
which has made the skin white and
more delicate, and also because of the
Introduction of tennis, rowing and vari-
Gus athletic amusements that develop
the muscles and make them much
rounder and more perfect in outline
than the arms of our grandmotherS.

AN OLD-TIMER.

The warm southern wind yesterday
blew into st. Paul no less a parsonage
than Dan O'Leary, who scarcely re-
quires an Introduction to, Twin City
audience. As long ago as 1877, Dan
played left field IN the Minneapolis
ball club. and rich and racy are the
stories he tells of base ball under the
management of Henry Morse. Then,
as of recent years, the team lost money,
and the directors could not pay the
players salaries, and Dan had a credit
of several hundred dollars on the books
when he left town. His ready cash was
largely reduced by heavy fine put on
by the late Judge Cooley, of the police
court, and only because Dan had little
scrap in front of the Nicollet house.
Dan told his honor his name Cooley
and disposition were the same, which
remark cost him $50 extra. Col. Tom
King, then city editor of the old Press,
roasted him next morning, and Dan
came near licking him, as a parting
memento.
Since that time Dan has had wide
and varied experience. He has man.
aged the Detroit. Toledo and Cincinnati
teams, was a candidate to manage the
Kansas CitYs when they entered the
association, did little newspaper work,
went against the horses" at convenient
times, and finally drifted into theatre
Gals. He is now ahead of Mrs. George
S. Knight. His arrival in st. Paul
awoke many old reeollectlOns, and he
spins yarns by the yard of the old days
when the fathers of present ball Cranks
adorned the bleacherS.

Can a Bob.Tail Dog Swim.

Louisville Courier-Journal
The absorbing question for discussion
among the employees at the short line
depot is whether or not a bob-tOil dog
can swim. Monday night several of
the employees went in bathing IN the
river, and, on coming out, found bob
tail dog sitting OH the bank watching
their antics, evidently with great inter-
est. The idea occurred to some of them
to throw the animal into the water aud
see him swim out, as it is gem
orally understood that any dog can
swim. But this particular dog could
not, for he sank like stone as soon
as he hit the water. Now, this unfor-
tunate pup had only one eye, and it is
still mooted question among the men
whether it's inability to swim was due
to the want of an eye Or the want of
tail. So great is the interest in the
matter that number of bets have been
made and some experiments with
manned dogs are to be made.

good results. 10 Col. d. j. Ezekiel, U.
