LEWIS SPECIAL.

Levy's promised special sale began Satur-

had the entire city on the qui uiue, and
when the doors opened on Saturday morn

simply because the public has learned that
every promise is fulfilled just as aduer-

quibbling. The programme is carried out
to the letter, regardless Of results.
Their particular Especial" that is now on

Mysterious Manifestations at Mrs.
hohmeyer's Farm Near Elmhurst.
From the Chicago Netrs
Look for yourself, }" said Mrs. Rohmeyer
OF Elmhurst. to a reporter who sought in
formation about the spooks which are sup
posed to infest her barn.
The Rohmeyer homestead is situated
about three miles west Of the station, and is
one Of the largest aud best regulated farms
IN that district. The stately suburb of
Elmhurst is all agog with excitement over
the latest sensation, and little knots of
people stand about the streets discussing the
affair.
For some tims-yes, ever Hnce New
Years Eve-we have been troubled by
something or somebody moesting our
cattle and horses. and despite our vigilance
we can do nothing 10 prevent it," said Mrs.
Rohmeyer. Yale locks are on all our
doors, ard you see the windows are securely
nailed and barred on the inside, leaving no
chance for anybody TO enter, and, besides,
our dogs are liberated at night, and they are
hrst-class watch dog. But, curious to say,
they have not given the slightest sound or
shown tie least sign of uneasiness. In fact,
the person or persons who come here every
night carried tine dog kennel from the front
OF the house and placed il at the side of the
barn, tying the dogs to it.
Robbery is not the purpose, as nothing
has been taken. The visitors left no clew
teyond an inscription ON the lock and walls,
reading: "O-ho! he" The locks are not
forced, but opened in some manner, as they
are not unlocked
"Have you seon anything Of these mys-
terious visitors" vas asked Mrs. RohmeYer.
YES, our hired man has shot at them
several times, but curious enough they are
never harmed. 1 am not superstitious, but
would like to know v no or what they are. ~

Coneressmen's Social Positions.

Members of congress do not of necessity
have any particular social position. II
they are agreeable people they are received
everywhere, but in no better way than il
they were not officials. IL other words,
any refined, educated person can obtain
ready access to Washington society, even If
he is not rich man. Entertaining is in
the hands of three classes Of persons-peo-
pie who are thoroughly experienced in the
art; second, those who have just arrived
and have a reasonable familiarity with
what is required, and third, those who are
just making beginning. In the absence
of permanent elements to control
and direct latecomers, there are
underlying traditions which supply
their place. There is as much fol
lowing of precedent in Washington social
life as there is in the department official
life. The art Of dinner-givipg is better
managed in Washington than in any other
city of the country, for the reason that there
is greater simplicity and rarely, If ever, any
attempt at ostentatious display. No one in
Washington would dream Of asking how
much a dinner cost. No one giving a din
ner would ever think of telling any one how
much money he had spent upon it. A din
ner is notable, first, on account Of the
guests brought together, and second, on
account Of the excellence Of the menu. The
guests are the principal thing.
Oho VI Ju6 InOSb pIOHlutHg Oh Qluuer-
givers in Washington formerly was Senator
Pendleton of Ohio. He was a man of Inoder-
ate fortune. He was fonder of entertaining,
and gave at least once a week dinner at
his house. These dinners were noteworthy
on account of the brilliant conversation OF
well-selected guests, who were brought into
harmonious relations around the table Of
the senator. President Arthur, who had no
family, and could therefore take more lib
erty, had the habit of occasionally stealing
over quietly to the senator's to sit through
one OF these chatty dinners.
The courses were few and simple in char
acter. There were rarely more than two
kinds of wine placed upon the table. In
deed, the most success full of these dinners
was where a flet chateaubriand was the
principal item on the bill Of fare. OF course
Mr.. Pendleton gave occasionally more
formal dinners, but the most popular ones
were the simplest, and were most sought
after by the diplomatic people. who were
constantly at Senator Peadleton's house.

sAaACIous RODENTS.
Thsy Are Intelligent and Possess a
Keen Sense of Humor.
FiOn1 the BMflnIo E1r1ress

from uVe DuUUtO bcfDfesS.
Rats have always been credited with
great intelligence. Their tricks sometimes
rise entirely above the level of mere animal
cunning and reach the domain of humor.
A family living on the west side has been
both amused and annoyed by the doings of
a rat in the cellar. To give an outline of
the creatures career would fill book, and
only few Of his feats can be referred to
here.
He appeared to delight most in carrying
things about the cellar, and his favorite
freight was eggs. The eggs were kept in q
box, with a cover shutting close down over
it; not mere lid, but a real shutter with a
rim on it. This rat cared little for that.
but not only carried Off the eggs as fast as
ne pleased, but he always shut the cover
just as he found it.
1t is said that rats carry eggs between
their fore paws and walk on their hind ones
like a kangaroo. but nobody appears to
have found out just how this one carried on
his business.
The eggs would be found everywhere
about the cellar and in the most unaccouut-
able places. sometimes slowed away in a
corner with something thrown over them
to cover them up, sometimes tucked into
holes in wall. but none OF them was ever
eaten by Sir Rodent.
lie did everything just for the fun OF the
thing and never for plumber. But somehow
the family didn't take kindly to the rat aud
his ways and unfeelingly set trap and
caught him. when he was dispatched just as
though he wasn't bit of genius.
But still the eggs turn up in unexpected
parts of the cellar, just TO remind people of
the sharp quadruped that once had the run
of things down there.
The last discovery is of two or three eggs
on the top of the bricked wall of the fur
macs, which not only rises perpendicularly
from tie floor nearly to the next floor, but
has apparently no approach on which an
animal could walk. How did the creature
get them there9
