HOW TO COLLECT BAD BILLS. A Chicago Tailor Who Was Bound Not to
 Re Shook on.


 A Chicago tailor has devised new way to collect old debts. A customer, who Is employed in his father's office at the Board of Trade, has owed a bill of $45 for several months. Statc- ments of the indebtedness and de- mands for payments have been made once or twice a week since Thanks giving, with no effect, and the young mans father and mother have been appealed to in vain. It was useless to sue, for the debtor isn't worth a dollar. The case looked hopeless.
 But the tailor is very foxy indi- vidual. He happened to learn that the young man was desperately in love with pretty girl, and that he spent certain evenings in every week at her house. On one of these even- ings the tailor appeared at the young lady's residence and inquired for his debtor. The youth then came into the hall to meet him, and when he e0W t1O toIOI uC dlAuOot lhlHtCu away. The tailor came out flat footed and swore that the bill must be paid then and there or he would raise a row, so that the young lady would be informed how matters stood. The youDg man, how ever, proved conclusively that he had only $1.46 on his person, and the tailor finally relented and left. Am other month passed and still the bill remained unpaid. Thereupon, the tailor sent the statement to the young lady, and by the same mail he noti- fled his debtor of his proceeding. The young lady informed her ad- mirer that she could not love man who didn't pay his debts, and further, that if he could not show her re- ceipt for the bill within six days he needn't come to see her any more. There was terrible storm at the tailor's shop, but the bill was paid. The young lady has the receipt Chicago Post.

dressing. This is the forbidden
 fruit'' of Paris shops. If you notice
 the depressions near the stem end,
 you will see thst they resemble the print Of teeth. This, according to popular tradition, is the mark of Eve's teeth when she bit the fruit,
 which was sweet orange before,
 but afterward became bitter. The negroes at the South tell the same story about pers'mmons, though they do not show the print of the teeth. They believe it was once well-fia- vored, but was the one forbidden tree in Eden, and when Eve tasted it, 1t became acrid and has remained so ever since. New York Tribune.

DESPERATE BATTLE.
James P. Paxton, a Nebraska Detective, Killed Near Pinnacle Springs,
 Faulkner County,
BY M. s. GOOD,
Who Stands Charged With Heavy Forgery In Nebraska--Officers Muse and White, of Faulkner County,
 Take a Hand.
Good Only Submits to Arrest After Being Severely Wounded d--Considerable
 Excitement Over the Affair.

A special from Conway of the t1th says: NJ. s. Good, an al- legged Nebraska forger, killed James P. Paxton, Nebraska officer who was trying to arrest him, near Pinnacle Springs yesterday. Officers Muse and White, of this county, wounded and captured Good, who is now in jail here awaiting orders from the governor of Ne brasks. Good has been living near Pinnacle Springs for sometime, and had concealed his identity effectually until few days ago. Paxton, the Nebraska detective, traced him here and located him immediately. The detective was accompanied from here by two dep- uty sheriffs and it was thought little or no trouble would be experienced if the affair was conducted right in experimenting Good. But the officers were not aware of the desperate character of the man they were fool. ing with. As result the Nebraska detective lies at an un- dertaker's establishment to-day cold in death and a gbastly bullet hole tells the story of his taking off. The friends of the de- ceased officer in Nebraska were notified of the terrible affair by wire this morning. Paxton was brave man, and his total lack of fear perhaps partially lead to the killing. The full charge against Good in Nebraska is not known here, as Paxton died without having disclosed the particulars. The affair has caused great excitement ip the community.

Cleanliness and honesty are as much virtues in the journal seeking public patronage as is an individual trying to steer clear of hades.
 The great want of the age-the long-felt want, the broad, deep and unsatisfed want--is honesty, whole sale and retail, in politics, in bust ness, in social and religious life--six- teen ounces to the pound, thirty -six inches to the yard, one hundred cents to the dollar, performances to every promise, and truth in every utter aBce.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. g.
About 6 o'clock this morning fire
was discovered on board the steamer

at the foot of 9TH street. In an
instant the flames spread to every
part of the boat. The lines were
cast off and the boat foated into the
river and lodged against the steamer

A tug pulled the Corcoral. across
the channel to the fats where she
burned to the waters edge. The

guished by the fire department with
loss Of 700, principally to her
upper works, covered by insurance.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-Secre-
tary Rusk to-day received officiat
notice that the German government
has raised the embargo on Ameril
can pork. The agreement relative
TO the admission of pork into Ger
many was signed at Cape May
Point about ten days ago; but at the
request Of the German government
the fact was withheld from the
German press until official ac-
ton could be taken by the home gov
ernment. The agreement not only
provides for the admittance Of our
pork into Germany, but also af
fords to the United States the same
schedule with reference to our farm
products as that enjoyed by Russia.

ALABAMA MOONSHINERS.

By the United Press

WASHINGTON, d. G.. Sept. d.
United States Marshal Walker to-
day telegraphed Solicittr-General
Taft asking authority to employ
deputy United States AIarshals to
protect citizens of Choctaw county,
Alabama. The dispatch was not
very clear, but it is surmised that
marshal Walker fears violence to
citizens who aided the government
in arresting the Sims gang of moon
sinners. The Sims gang killed two
United States revenue officers some
time ago in the mountains near
Choctaw.
Some citizens gave the govern
ment information as to their where
abouts and recently, after chasing
them into Mississippi, number of
the gang were arrested and brought
back to Choctaw county, Alabama,
by Marshal Walker and posse. it
is now thought that the friends #
the Sims gang intend to wreak ven-
geance upon those who gave the in
formation that led to their capture.

GATEsvILLE, Sept. 3, 1871
The Gates county Alliance picnic
came offyesterday and was a grand
success. A better day could not
have been made to order. The
crowd in attendance was estimated
ct from three to five thousand, and
the dinner was sumptuous and pro-
fuse. Colonel Harry Skinner, of
Greenville, the Grady of North
Carolina, Hon. Marion Butler, of
Sampson, and Hon. w. A. B.
Branch, Of Beaufort, were orators
of the day, and dispensed whole
some Alliance doctrine. Col Skin
ner's speech was mastery produc-
ton, and he held the vast audience
spen-bound for two and a half
hours. Although professionally in
eligible TO membership, the Col. is
thoroughly imbued with the noble
principles Of the order. His argu-
ment as to the constitutionality and
practicability Of the Sub-Treasury
scheme was irresistible and unan-
swerable, and created unbounoed
enthusiasm. BY all means let his
clarion and eloquent voice be heard
from Maine to California, in behalf
of this great measure, and its
ultimate triumph is assured.
, Your correspondent heartily
cougratulates the Alliance upon
2 his able championship of this
cause. Each OF the distinguished
, speakers was introduced by Judge
w. I. Cross, one of Gates most

: pirate remarks. The Alliance is

of Balmaceda.
BY United Press.)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-The
Gillian situation continues to be
the uppermost subject of discussion
II official circles. Since the Egan
cablegram received yesterday no
news from Chill has reached the
State department. This silence on
die part of Minister Egan and Con-
.ul McCreery is interpreted to mean
.hat there is nothing new in the
Gillian situation to communicate.
Had there been any fresh out
break consul McCreery is in posi-
ton to communicate with Washing
ton even if minister Egan at San
tago could not. The silence, how
ever, has gwen rise to a suspicion
that all is not entirely harmonious
among the insurgents themselves.
As soon as they form a government
and notify the foreign powers of the
the fact. they will doubtless be re-
cognized as the ruling power in
Chilli. So far sthe State department
is informed, they are still insurgents,
with the Junta as the governing
committee, the army at their back
and victorious in accomplishing the
overthrow of the Balmacedaen gov
.s,Tnrnent without having substituted
any other constitutional govern
ncnt. What government exists is
ia the person of Gen. Bauquedano
Is whom Balmaceda delivered the
oaice when he fled in haste from the
yJuntry.
Bauquedano is represented as an
rmy officer who led the Chilian
army to successful result in the
war with Peru ten years ago and
who since that time has been in re
iirement. In the late conflict hC
