FIND THE SALESMAN NExrTIME.

A shoe manufacturer of New England,
becoming dissatisfied with the efforts
of his statesmen, started over the
route of one of them without his know
ledge), to see what he could do in the
way of selling goods. He didn't meet
with any success, and at last, on learn
leg from an old customer that he was too
late, the order having been placed, he
offered to take the order at cent per
pair less if the dealer would counter
inand the one he had given, This was
agreed to, and the manufacturer return
ed, with the feeling that his journey had
not been an entire failure. But he dis
covered on looking at his correspond
ence, that it was an order taken bv his
own salesman, which he had bribed the
dealer to repudlate. Then he solilo-
quized in language more emphatic than
orthodox.-ShOe and Leather Reporter.

ALWAYS WANTS HER MONEYS
WORTH


1t is noticeable that at the luncheon
rooms of the several woman's exchanges,
as we'll as at several of the restaurants in
the shopping districts, broken orders are
possible. This is especially true of the
menus of the exchanges, which are man.
aged by women solely for women. II is
a concession to an accepted fact that
women ordering and eating alone greatly
dislike to pay for a mouthful more than
can be consumed. One croquette, a
half-serving of salad, chocolate without
bread-these are some of the ways a
woman adjusts her bill to her appetite.
A story is current of well-know IL
New Yorker who daily orders his pint of
champagne served with a small glass ::
the cork is drawn and the sparkling wine
poured in; it fills and overflows, but
still is poured till the pint runs out; then
this "heart of the bottle is drained by
the fastidious drinker, the 81 is cheer
fully paid, and the waiter throws away
three gills of wasted champaign. A
woman simply could not do this. She
would rather, figuratively speaking,
spoil the flavor and enjoyment of the
wine by swallowing the whole pint to
save it. Her husband laughts at this
notion of hers, but he does not altogether
dislike it, Sometimes it is there odd
caprices of thrift which make it possible
for him to have "the heart of the bottle"

In Mexico under President Diaz,
hundreds of priests are imprisoned on
suspicion of conspiracy against the
government. In Brazil President
Prizotto and his advisers are said to be
threatened with eXcommunication unless
they take steps to restore the former re-
latiOns of Church and State, and in
Chile it is admitted that the Clericals
were largely influential in bringing
about the overthrow of Balmaceda and
the triumph of Mont. While State and
clergy are thus in turmoil among the
countries south of us, here in the United
States the clergy of every faith are
getting along quietly, and religion
tlourishes more than in any other part of
the world.
The late James Z. Cooper, the cir
Gus manager, left fortune of 81, 900, 600,
earned in the business. 1t was Mr.
Cooper who in 1865 engaged Dan Rice,
the famous clown, at a salary of $1,000 a
week and all expenses, that being the
largest salary ever paid to any single
performer. Rice furnished his two great
performing horses, Y l. Sor and Stephen
A. Douglas, and the famous trick mules,
Pete and Barney, these being the first
mules that have ever been broken to cir
Gus performing.

CHEYENNE, Wy, December 20.--
Meager particulars have reached here
by mail of the killing OF seven persons
In the Big Horn basin few days ago.
According to the story, Bill Nutcher
and Jim Huff went into the basin TO ar
rest some cattle thieves. hatcher Is
himself now under bonds on charge
of horse stealing In Fremont county,
while Huff, whose reputation Is rather
poor, is said to be Deputy United
States Marshal.
1t Is said these men came across three
alleged cattle thieves whom they were
after near that village which has not
more than half dozen houses. The
encounter was desperate from the very
start and was maintained with Winches-
ters and finally with six shooters.
Upon it's conclusion not only the cat
tia thieves bat all of the officers lay
dead on the open prarie, everybody com
pIetely riddIed with bullets. The
names OF the cattle thieves have not
been received here.
According TO the same story Ira
Walker and Asa Shuck were found at
the head of Norwood, In the same sec
tion, with sixty head Of stolen cattle In
their possession.
Both men were subsequently found
shot In the back, but by whom is not
known, although it is believed they met
their fate at the hands OF some officers
of the law. Both men were rather mo-
torious character.

tion Of Mr.. Blaine by saying:
"Mr. Blaine is as well as he was yes
terday morning, and seems refreshed
after a good nights rest" He declined
10 20 into any statement with reference
to the disease, but said that it was not
from any desire to conceal the condl-
tion OF Mr.. Blaine, but because OF the
personal feelings Of the family. There
will be a consultation held at the house.

REPLYING TO BRIGGS.
DR.. Lampe Begins the Closing Address for
The Prosecution.

the PROSECUTION
New York, December 2O.-The Rev.
JOS. J. Lambe to-day began his reply
OF the prosecution in the Briggs case.
He said that the Presbyterian Church
did not seek to compel any man to ac-
cept its doctrines, but it was time that
when man personally assumed an OBJ
LEGATION 20 that church, the church It.
self had the right TO say whether any
man who accepts such position In
that church faithfully fulfilled his obli-
cations.
II was claimed, he said, that DR..
Briggs. was one OF the great Biblical
scholars, but so long as he remained
a member OF the church he was sub
iect to tho criticism and officers OF
that church. The discussion OF the
PreSbytery ought TO be based on the
inaugural address Of DR.. BrsggS,
which views DR.. Lampe, said the de-
fendant, had in his defense before the
Presbytery, mentioned as his present
views.
DIR. Lampe claimed that the Church
denied the position taken by DR.. Briggs
that reason and the Church are sources
of divine authority. DR.. Lampe SAID
that there is no salvation without the
xrowledge of Christ and faith in him.
DIR. Lampe asserted that Christ ana
the Apostles, In sll their teachings,
Doipted out the gospel as the final ana
only standard OF divine authority. Dr.
Briggs, he said, cOntradicts this vital
doctrine.
.'The position which leads DR.. Briggs
10 welcome rationalists to the house
hold OF the faithful, and according TO
which Martineau is as good a Christian
as Spurgeon, is certainly at variance
with Presbyterian faith and life."
DIR. Lampe will conclude his answer
to-morrow, probably in time to allo"
the Presbytery TO meet in private
session to hear further from DR.. Briggs
and the prosecuting committee.

CHICAGO, December 2O.-The differ
ence between w. B. Conkey and the
Typographical Union was settled to-day
by the presentation to the Investiga-
ting Committee of the Worlds Fair the
following, signed by President Mitchell,
of the Trades and Labor Assembly, and
y. c. Harding, President Of Typograph-
ical Union No. 16.
'In regard to a protest against the
consummation of the concession OF the
w. B. Conkey Company which we pre-
sented to the Executive Committee Of
the Worlds Fair directory last week,
we would state that the joint committee
OF the Chicago Trades and Labor AS
sembly and Chicago Typographical
Union 10. 16 has been Informed that
the opinion of said committee that any
modes other than those that could be
approved by the strictest moralist and
the most exacting business man gov
erned the Ways and Means Committee
in awarding the catalogue, have no
foundation but idle rumor."
The Joint committee also states that
the awarding OF the contract without
regard TO promises that had beer made
to representatives OF organized labor
was done inadvertently and that such
error has been rectified.
''In view of these facts we beg leave
TO withdraw the protest submitted to
the Executive Committee against the
consummation of the Conkey catalogue
concession"
Mr.. Conkey has made contract with
the Union which he and the members
both proclaim satisfactory.

The Catholic Standard to-day, on the
authority of Rev. J. f. Laughlin, d.

Philadelphia, denies the accuracy of an
alleged interview with him published
several weeks ago, respecting the mis-
sion OF Mgr. Satolli. The Standard
saws: "Dr. Laughlin desires Us to state
with the utmost emphasis that he did
not attempt to define Mgr. Satolli's
powers, but expressly declared to his
interviewer that he knew nothing about
them, further than that he was con-
vinced that there was nothing mysteri-
Gus or political about Mgr. Satollis
mission, as his interviewer evidently
imagined"

PHILADELPHIA, December 20.-When

her bow will point toward Southampton,
the new terminal Of the International
Navigation Company.
At the same time it IS expected that
she will initially fly the stars and stripes

we'll as in name. On this date her sister
ship, the City OF Paris, will leave South
ampton thus formally opening the term
inal and upon the latter's departure
from this side the American flag will
also probably grace her.
Under the new order of things the
City of Paris will deliver the United
States mails at the London postotfice at
least eight hours earlier than she has
previously been able TO do, and from
four TO FIVE hours sooner than any other
steamer. except the City Of New York.
This will be the examinations Of plans

which will place It pre-eminentIy above
