DRY-GOODS SALARIES.
Buyers Who Earn Much the FRESH
dent of the United States.

ut is not generally known" said Mr..
c. B. Worth. of II. Il. Claflin & Co. a
few DAYS ago, that some of the highest
salaries are paid in our business We
are often accused of paying starvation
wages to our clerks by people who never
look at the expense entailed in running
an establishment Take the buyers,
for instance There are firms in this
city who paw men from $4,000 to $780,
900 year for simply being able to tell
three-quarters of year in advance
what the fashion is going to be. One
gentleman, who buys for a wholesale
house on Broadway, is said to earn $780,
900 year.
DRY goods-houses are noted for pay
ing low wages to their clerks, because
the supply of clerks is so abundant. In
some of the smaller stores the pay runs
as low as IS a week. But the buyer on
whose Judgment the sale of next year
ia brics depends gets half as much as
the President of the United States The
smallest, and some of the largest sala-
ries are paid in the dry-goods bust
ness"
How does the buyer for the house
distinguish in advance what the fashion
for next year is to be?''
''Ah. that is where it requires wide
awake man. He must watch the grow
ing tendencies among the firms richest
and most fashionable customers at home
and abroad. Whatever has become
popular among them will make its way
among the masses. and this tide the
house must catch and swim along with it.
I'm Europe textile manufacturers
make few goods except on orders. The
buyer for a firm must decide what his
house can sell next season, and order
his supplies of cloth made in advance.
A serious mistake might be sufficient to
bankrupt the firm. by leaving them
with stock on hand of unstable goods,
the patterns not being to the liking OF
the firms customers. So you can easily
see why skillful buyer can command
his own price.
How do you select man fer such
position?"
Nothing less than kind of intuition
is demanded for such place. In addi-
ton. the buyer must estimate what
amount his employer can sell of given
style of goods 1t he overstocks the
firm, then they are left with old-fash-
toned articles on hand which they must
resort to the 'bargain-counter' devices
to get rid of at a severe loss. IN. Y

NEVER KNEW HIM.
The Touching Story of the Daughter of
French Painter.

n French Painter.
A touching story is told of the child
of well-known French painter. The
little girl lost her sight in infancy, and
her blindness was supposed to be in
durable. Three years ago, however, a
famous oculist in Paris performed an
operation on her eyes, and restored her
sight
Her mother had long been dead, and
her father had been her only friend and
companion. When she was told that
her blindness could be cured, her one
thought was that she could see him, and
when the cure was complete and the
bandages were removed, she ran to him,
and trembling, pored over his features,
shutting her eyes now and then, and
passi ng her fingers over his tace as if 10
make sure that it was he.
The father had noble head and pros
ence, and his every look and motion were
watched by his daughter with the keen
est delight. For the first time his con-
slant tenderness and care seemed real to
her. If he caressed her, or even looked
upon her kindly, it brought the tears to
her eyes.
TO think" she cried, holding his
hand close in hers. that l had this
father so many years and never knew
him.
How many of US are like the little
blind girl?
How many young men just enter
ing life have made no close friendships
at school or elsewhere, because some
bodily defect or poverty has soured
their tempers. and made them cynical
and suspicious. 1t is their lot, they think,
to go alone through the world, to find
women shallow ana men shams. Luck
is against them. They will fight their
own way. and ask help of none,
Women who know tn emselves to be
plain and unattractive often feel this
morbid jealousy and bitterness; they
case themselves in pride and reserve
that keep their lives more solitary than
any prison walls.
The eyes of these souls are shut If
they would open them, they would see
that the world is full of true and help
full friends waiting to work and be
happy with them.
They would see unnumbered chances
in their own lives, however poor or sor-
rowful they may be, for healthy and
cheerful work. for hearty goodwill and
love and comraieship
And under and above and around
their ungrateful, Disconnected lives.
they would be conscious of an Almighty
love and tenderness, holding them as
the sunshine holds the floating mote of
dust
The oldest and wisest OF us-scholars,
men Of business, women of the world
go Though life like the blind child,
never seeing the hand OF Him who sets
the sun to light our steps. who feeds US
day by day, who makes ready homo
for US hereafter
But this blindness of the soul. what
ever men may say about it is not be-
yond a cure. We have but to seek the
Great Physician. crying with one OF old:
Lord, that | might receive my sight"
AT His touch our darkness viii vanish,
and with the new light we shall find
ourselves in new world
Then, like the happy French child,
we shall be ready to exclaim: ITO
think that / had this Father so many
years and never knew Hin.''-Louisyille

About Managers.

All animals should have low managers,
otherwise the muscles of the neck be-
come stiff or contracted by the non-uSe

ilv observable in race horses and STALL

such, a tub or box should be used and
removed from the stall Immediately
after feeding. But the special adyan-
tare Of n movable feed trough is found
in the case of animals which have dis

Small Cottage with ITS Contents
Destroyed.
Yesterday afternoon, at 2:50 o'clock,
a fire broke out in the kitchen of FIVE.
room cottage on the corner OF Fifth and
Beaudry streets, occupied by N. R.
Stanton. An alarm was rung in from box
46 by Officer Downie, to which the de.
partment responded promptly, but owing
to the steep grade and the heavy condi-
ton of the roads, the building was to-
tally destroyed before the first stream Of
water was played upon it. Mrs. Stanton
and her four children were in the house
at the time, but managed to escape un
harmed. j few of the more valuabl,
articles of furniture were carried from
the burning building by neighbers, bu
most of the effects were consumed. The
fire is supposed to have originated from a
defective joint in the stove pipe near the
ceiling of the kitchen. The Stanton
family estimate their loss at $500, and as
their property was uninsured they are
left in an almost destitute condition, the
head of the family having been out OF
work for several weeks. A small un.
occupied shanty adjoining the burnt
building also caught fire, but no great
amount of damage was done. Both
houses belonged to E. L. Blanchard, and
were valued at $500 and 500 respectively,
and we're fully insured.

CORONER'S INQUEST.
An Inquiry into the Death of
Morris Russell.

Am Inquiry into the Death of
Morris Russell.
Coroner Meredith held an inquest yes
terday afternoon, upon the body of
Morris Russell, a native OF Ireland, 62
years of age, who died on Monday night
last at the Sisters hospital, from injur-
les sustained on Saturday afternoon
through his team running away. From
the evidence of G. w. Finney, painter,
who was with Russell at the time of the
accident, it was learned that the old ex-
pressman was hired by the witness to
convey load of ladders and painters
tools from Tom Keefe's shop, on Frank
lin street, to another part of town. After
loading up the wagon, Russell drove to
Finney's house to get some more tools,
and returned by way of Hill street. On
turning the corner of First and Hill
streets, Russell allowed the wagon to
cramp, and the vehicle turned over on
it's side. Finney, who was seated on the
box with the old man, saw him Jump as
the wagon fell, but as his own feet be-
came entangled in the ladders, he
was too much preoccupied in endeav-
oring to free himself to notice what
became of Russell. just as he managed
to extricate himself, Finney noticed that
the wagon righted itself and the team
ran down the hill to the corner of First
and Broadway. where it was stopped.
Finney was badly shaken up, but 10 an
aged with some difficulty to walk down
to the corner and sa Russell picked up.
He appeared to have fallen between the
wheels and the bed of the wagon, which
crushed him as it righted itself.
DIR. Kannon testified that he was
called to the Sisters hospital to attend
to Russell, who, ia addition to frac.
tured hip bone, had all the indications of
severe internal injuries. He was suffer-
ing from nervous prostration, consequent
upon the great shock he had sustained.
and there we're considerable swellings
and discolorations of the skin in various
parts of the body. His death, which
occurred about $50 O'Clock on Monday
evening, was the result of the shock,
which was too severe for his age and
debility.
The jury returned verdict OF acci-
dental death.
