CO., hats, caps and fur,, assigned today.
The firm has failed twice before, once In
1876 and again in 1879 The liabilities each
time Were compromised at about 80 cents
on the dollar. A statement in March last
claimed assets of $4,000 and liabilities Of
sl26 600. 1t is said they had bought con-
sderaby from Roberts, Cushman & Co.
The tight money market caused the fanure.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. S-The hat manu-
featuring firm of Price, Sherman & Co.
assigned today. Their assignment precipi.
tafed the failure of Frederick Sherman, 70.
tail dealer in hats and furs. Price, Sher-
man & Co. are rated at from $500, 900 to
S3oo.t0o, and their general credit is high.
NEW YORK, Dec. S-Roberts, Cushman
q Co., importers of hatters' materials, have
made an assignment. Roberts. this after
noon, said the failure was not caused by
the tariff, but was the work of several
firms which had dragged Them down. He
could not give figures beyond the general
statement that the failure was in the
neighborhood of $500 900, and was sure
that al the creditors would be paid in fulk
Their capital was from $3.50, 900 to $f,000,-
900, and their credit good. A member Of
the firm said tonight that the failure was
due 10 the fact that the Philadelphia firm.
of Price, Sherman & Co. was under
heavy financial obligations to them. It Is
asserted that the house has been
virtually carrying the Philadelphia con.
Germ until it is impossible to do so longer,
hence the suspension. 1t is also asserted
that Roberts. Cushman & Co. hope to meet
all claims, even though the individual
property of the firms members must be
used to meet the Indebtedness.
MEANWHILE, Pa, Dec. s-Reports con-
tnue to come in of new sufferers from the
collapse OF Deiamater & Co.'S bank. A
banker of this city said that a cautious es-
innate of the liabilities would not be less
than $500,000, ana may reach $500. 900.
Nothing is positively known about the
assets, but the most sanguine do not hope
for more than SO cents on the dollar. Tho
whole city is restless and excited.

AN IDEAL HUSBAND.
1fue WOmanly Sentiments Expressed by
= Milwaukee Girl.

1ruo Womanly Sentiments Expressed BY
Milwaukee Girl.
} At q gathering Of young ladies one
evening last week one of them pro-
posed that the party draw up in circle,
and each in turn give her opinion as to
the qualifications of an ideal husband.
1t was Immediately agreed to, says the
Milwaukee Wisconsin, and oh! the di-
versity OF prerequisites would cause
man to fear and tremble as to his &C.
ceptableness even were he an angel sans
wings. One wanted rich man, one a
famous one, another a handsome one;
some wanted title, and most of them
wanted all these things combined.
AT last it came the turn of q sweet,
sunny little creature in pink and white.
For a moment her face grew serious,
and then came her verdict:
"He must be moral, well-bred, and
have some fixed and honorable method
of making living"
What! not one word about his being
titled, rich or handsome!
But" she continued, "the man
marry must BIO my other self. He must
be sympathetic with me in my tastes
and pursuits. When he comes I shall
know him, and all the love I have to
give shall be his, and shall expect love
in return for love. OF course, if he is
young and rich and handsome 80 much
the better, but should not love him
less were he none of these things"
True womanly sentimentsl Would
that they could find an echo in every
woman's heart. The number of un-
happy marriages would be lessened, and
divorce unknown. Many, fascinated by
outward glamor, rush headlong into
matrimony, and too late find that the
tastes and inclinations of husband and
wife differ as widely as night and day.
For instance, one is literary and fond of
retirement, the other despises literature
and is inclined to society; each will nat
urally seek the society and conversation
OF those whose tastes and opinions coin
eide with his own. The consequence is
an estrangement of husband and wife in
things the world calls trivial, but which,
in reality, decide their happiness; and
each would find it easy to sacrifice all
tho others charms for the one charm
not there, namely, a responsive heart in
all things.

JUVENILE FILTRATION
Tho Stick OF Candy Given by the Sma
Boy to the Small Girl

Tho Stick OF Candy Given by the Small
Boy to the Small Girl.
She is just the sweetest child that ever
was born, says the San Francisco Chron-
icle. She has Titan red hair, and
ivory skin, and blue eyes, and when she
grows up she will make the men stand
around. Then she will marry a plain,
bald-headed man, and be lost to the
beautiful world, and people will wonder
why such a beautiful girl should throw
herself away. Because she has sense,
and no woman of, sense would marry a
man as good-looking as she was But
she is only two years old yet; yet she is
simply the sweetest thing that ever
lived. No. 1t is not her mother saws
3d." 1t is her godmother; and if it
comes to that, a godmother can think
more OF her godchild than the real,
simple, plain. ordinary mother. Every
child should have godmother. 1t IS
better than being born with a
"caul." Perhaps you doubt this god
mothers word. But she must have been
pretty child, for her mother took her
, IN the car one day and she dropped her
two'year-old blue eyes on a small
boy trifle older who sat opposite with
his mother. The small boy fell at her
glance, not by that furtive look at her
and an uneasy movement that marks
man when he has been hit by a girl in
car. and wants to look and doesn't
like to because he thinks every BODY
will notice. The small boy simply
gazed at the beautiful child and after a
little hesitation he walked over boldly
and put into her hand lovely stick of
candy. boy must have been smitten
when he did that. A man NAV be
foolish and give away things to girl
and not be much smitten after all.
but when boy gives up his candy he is
clean gone. The small beauty took IL
and gave him smile which mado him
palpably thrill. There was no mistak-
ing his satisfaction. The child held
the candy for few seconds. Thon she
said:
Mamma, may eat this candy?"
mo, dear. 1t isn't pretty to eat
candy on car"
IL We'll, mamma, may kiss it2"

HANDOUTS WITH A HISTORY.
A Thrilling ..ent in the Life of a Police
officer.
W-ocbirr+O1 DraSS

"That pair of handouts has a history
The speaker was Sergt. Volkman, of the
Seventh Precinct, as he pointed to a pair
of nickel-plated bracelets" which were
hanging near the telephone In the station.
A history?" queried the reporter.
Eyes, and one that | shall never forget.
Just get Mr.. Elliott to let up on that colicky
banjo and | will tell you about them. Elev-
en- years ago, nearly, a negro named James
Carroll perpetrated an outrage upon Mrs.
Richard Thomas, of Buckeyetown, Va. He
made good his escape. and four days
after | arrested him here, after a chase
of two or three miles. The clock was
striking II when | brought him in the
door. 1t was decided to send him to Vir-
ginia at once, and Officer Benjamin F.
Harper and myself started with him. There
was a strong feeling against the fend, and
we feared trouble. Mayor Moberly, of
Frederick, Nd, was telegraphedto meet us.
As the train stopped at Tuscarora Station
about thirty men boarded it. Everything
was conducted in the most quiet manner,
and nothing whatever said to the prisoner
or us. The train switched off at the Point
of Rock station for Frederick, and as it
Stacked its speed more than a hundred
men gathered around, and, armed to
the teeth, they boarded the train and
began crying for vengeance. We appealed
to them, but it dld no good. They were
bent upon their mission of vengeance,
and a regiment of drawer men than we
could never have stayed their hands. Car
roll was dragged out, though we struggled
hard to retain him. We were pushed to the
rear of the car and kept there until the
lynchers had gone with their man. The
men who held us at bay were 50 anxious to
see the lynching that they left us, and we
followed the crowd. Again we were pick
ed up by main force and carried backto the
train, and there guarded until its departure
for Frederick. Fully 800 men gathered
around the fend, and, with a rope around
his neck, he was given a few moments to
make peace with his Maker, and then was
strung up. 1t was quick work. Many
of the lynchers bore the trace of years as
gray hairs covered their heads; many were
young men in the prime of life; all were
honest farmers, and had left mothers,
wives, daughters and sisters at their homes,
and the vengeance they had taken was fol
their future protection. This was on
Thursday and the body was watched until
the next morning. when it was cut down
and turned over to the Coroner. The hand
cuffs were taken off and returned to me.
and [ never look at them without remem,
boring the terrible experience of that day.
Lieut.. Skippon had charge of this precinct
| then. and when we returned next day we
found him insane. The news of the fear
full affair was more than he could stand,
and tonight he is an inmate of st. Eliza
beth's asylum.
Now, don't you think the handcuffs
have a hi~story?"

Hoarding in d

VIZ - NAD
It's difficult to estimate the amount OF
gold boarded in India; but it was approx
mated before the royal commission on
bimetalism at $50 million sterling, which
was the amount imported during the last sc
years, and is exclusive of the boards for
centuries past. The silver was computed
at about 10 millions. Thiss yield for both
gold and silver a sum of 300 million, which
represents nearly one-third Of the value OF
the total amount of coin (e1 ,000, 900, 600
estimated by DR.. Soetbeer to be In circula-
ton in the world. The form which the
boarding takes is that of bullion or coin,
and frequently the metal is made into or
naments, partly used for the purpose Of
adornment and partly kept as a hoard. As
a rule, the native prefers it in the form of
ornaments for his family, because it is a
hoard; and it is also a source of gratifca-
ton to them to possess these ornaments.
The simplest form of jewel or ornament
worn by the natives is the thick gold or
silver wire twisted into bangles or brace
lets. The latter are made by the silver
smith. to whom the poor Hindu betakes
himself when he has saved a few rupees.
These are soon melted and beaten up into
the necessary article of ornament and
hoard. Silver is also hammered into
brooches and torques in imitation of knot
ted grass and leaves, while armlets, ank-
lets, and much like are freely fabricated.
Solid or hollow gold Jumps in the form of
cubes and ~octahedrons strung on red silk
appear as another form of stored wealth.
As may be supposed, the gods of India,
which are many. absorb much of the mol
ten gold and silver of the country. One
notable design is called Swami and con-
sists of an ornamentation of figures of
Hindu gods in high relief, beattn out from
the surface, or fixed by solder or screws.
In southern India there are vast stores of
gold and silver in the temples. The poor
people have no boxes or safes in which to
place their valuables, and so they general
" put their hard cash and ornaments with
In brass or bahogunas and then bury them
underground somewhere in the room In
which they sleep, preferring for this pur-

SCOVERE
HELEN THAYER HUTCHINSON.

On the slope of a hill in the edge of the wood,
Bloomed and nodded a sisterhOod
OF pale-tinted Blossoms that nobody knew,
Saving the Wind and the sun and the Dew.
The Wind blew back the curtain of dawn,
And the Sun looked out when the Wind was gone,
And the flowers with the tears of the Dew were
wet,
When the VIM was flown and the Sun was set.
The Wind brought a wild Bee out of the west,
To dream for an hour on Blossoms breast,
And the Sun left a Butterfly lowering there
With wide wings poised on the golden air.
And the Dew brought a Firefy to whirl and dance,
In his old bewildering radiance,
Round the slender green pillars that rocked as he
flew,
And shook off the tremulous globes of Dew.
The creatures of air gave the secret TO me,
/ followed the hum of the h~eavy-winged Bee,
followed the Butteriy's wavering flight,
l followed the Firely's bewildering light.
I found the pale Blossoms that nobody knew;
They trusted the SIM and the Wind and the Dew,
The Dew and the Wind trusted FREELY and Bee,
l give you the secret they gave unto me.
