A ST. LOUIS merchant tailor who has
been doing business for forty years
and who has catered to the fashiona BID
tastes of the youth of the upper circle,
has been compelled to assign, with a
rather wide discrepancy between assets
and liabilities. The shortage will be
explained when the assignee, later or,
offers for sale the accounts of nu,

taken to San Diego for adjudication.

------------- The Clam and the Oyster.

A clam is considered as the emblem of stupidity and callousness, but you will make great mistake if you put the oyster in the same category. The oyster is so strong of muscle, as we all know. that no human fingers are able alone to open the doors of his domicile if he chooses to keep them closed; liver and stomach and digestive organs he has, all as sensitive as ours; respiratory organs as complicated as the human lungs; ma chinery for obtaining his water supply and for preventing an overflow, and wondrously contrived mechanism for the trapping of his food
 Finally he has a heart whose pulsa- tions may be seen after his house has been torn from him With this very limited understanding of the anatomy of the oyster it is not difficult to compre bend how cultivation and care may not only improve its outward appearance and augment it's lines of beauty, but how they also cause the quality of it's meat to surpass that of the natural" or rncultivated oyster, as much as grain fed poultry surpasses the product of the barnyard.

THE MURDER OF A WOMAN.
Assaulted and Left Dead on the Mountain
 Side A Man Under Suspicion.

Assaulted and Left Dead on the Mountain
 Side-A Man Under Suspicion.
 MAHANoY CITY, Pa., Dec. Q --fhree young men residing at New Boston, while on their way to this town along the mountain side yesterday, found the dead body of a woman. The body wGs partly nude and was covered with blood, indicating that she had died only after a fierce struggle. It was evident that the woman had been lying for some time in the position in which she was found ', as the body and garments were frozen. The body was removed to town.
 Last evening William Keervis claimed the body as that of Mrs. Agnes Law renee, exhibiting an evidence of his relationship and insurance policy on the life of the deceased for 3,l00. The body was not handed over to him, how ever, as Deputy Coroner Fogarty had given orders that it should not be re- moved until he had held an inquest. Keervis returned home and this morning called upon w. T.Evans, who is district superintendent of the society of which the woman was insured, and demanded his money. keervis's story, coupled with the strange death of Mrs. Law renee, aroused the suspicious of Evans and he refused to make a settlement until he had thoroughly investigated the case. A close watch is being kept on Keervis.
 Dr. Louis Webber has made an exa imitation of the body and declares that the woman was assalted before she was killed. Robbery could not have been the motive of the crime, as pocket book containing Sl6, was found in her possession. Mrs. Lawrence was 45 years old and for some time has been engaged in missionary work.

BosToS, Mass, Dec. 9.-The Journal says: There may be a sensation com ing in the Bell Telephone case. Today the evidence of Professor Dolbeare will be concluded before the Commissioner, and 1t is reported about the United States courts that the government at torneys are looking up certain evidence which is likely to be interesting.
 District Attorney Allen, when seen by reporter, was very non-commital, but finally admitted that new line of evidence was being examined, and that something sensational might develop.
 The hearing, from which the press is rigidly excluded, is in progress today One of the rumors regarding the alleged new evidence, which can not be authen- ticated, is that MT. Bell wrote certain letters to Professor Dolbeare admitting that Dolbeare ilrst used the permanent magnet.
 Commissioner Hallet says there is nothing of sensational nature or of public interest in the testimony. MT. Dolbeare has been on the stand for several days, has been examined and cross examined and is now on redirect examination.
