A FLATTERING REMINDER.

Sheriff Hays wasipleasantly surprised last
night by the officers of his corps. 1t is the
sheriff's custom to come to his office every
evening for an hour or two, and several
friends were engaged to hold him there in
conversation until the appointed hour
which was o'clock. At that time a tele-
phone came into the sheriff's Office
that be was wanted Immediately by a
deputy United States marshal at the Jail
on important business. On arriving home
his officers met him and without word
of warning Attorney Jos. Henly, on their
behalf, stepped forward with an elegantly
framed picture and said the boys wished
to present this to him on the eve OF his
retirement from office as token of their
esteem and friendship. They felt that
this gift would give him more pleasure
than one of greater value and all had
joined in the presentation.
Sheriff Hays was so completely
SURPRISED that it took him few minutes
to say anything. He then complimented
his officers on their fidelity and strict at
teution to business under all circum-
stances. and told them he could not begin
to thank them for this token Of regard
If they had expected it would give hin
pleasure, they could multiply that autici
patton by ten, or even hundred, and ther
have but faint conception of his feelings
1t was quite evident that everybody fell
a good deal more than they could well ex.

ever, howto place people at ease.and took th'
boys out in the back parlor, where a.
were feeling themselves again in minute

DARING ROBBERY.

The tailor shop of julius Goezlewski,
243 North Main street, was robbed last
evening about o'clock in a most auda-
cious manner. A man wearing long.
dark overcoat and SLOUGH hat came into
the front of the establishment and delib-
erately picked up several bolts of cloth
walking out with them. Mrs. GoeZlewski
saw him but did not know what to do for
an instant, and in the meantime the thief
got safely away. The police were at once
notified but up to a late hour had failed to
discover any trace of the goods or the
thieves The audacity of the thieves is SO
surprising that it is almost impossible to
make any calculation on their move
ments. Mr.. Goezlewski was unable TO es-
innate the exact amount of his loss last
evening and will have to take stock in
order to ascertain it.

THOSE WHO WILL RECEIVE TO-DAY.

The custom of making New Year calls is
not as popular as formerly, and it is I'M
fortunate that the reasons which are
mainly responsible for this state of affairs
exist. Most customs originate under
favorable conditions and enjoy their pop
ularity until these conditions change.
when they are discontinued aud become
things of the past. New Year calling
seemed to suit all conditions and bid fair
to be as lasting as the present form Of civ
ilization, but alas, as its popularity be-
came general complication entered into
it that made the fair sexistop and consider.
Not seeing an easy way out of the difficulty
they proposed to abandon it. Many young
men can not refuse with good grace the
glass of wine when profered by fair
hand, and as this kind of refreshment was
indissolubly associated with the New
Year call, difficulty not easily
comprised, has nearly overthrown
the custom. There seems to be
no more fitting time for the young people
to choose their friends than at this season
of good resolutions
A great many, however. intend to per-
petuate the custom and avoid the danger
GUS habit of serving wine.
They have every chance for success in
their favor, and it is safe to predict that a
few years will find New Year calling
more popular than ever.
