JEWELLERY TO LET.

New York Recorder.
On one of the principal streets in the
busiest part in New York there is a
fiourishing establishment which derives
most of its income from renting jewelry,
instead of selling it outright.
The business is perfectly legitimate
one. Only fair amount of interest is
charged for the use OF the goods, and
nothing is ever attempted in the way Of
deceiving customers, as to the actual
value of the Jewelry they hire.
You can go to this store and get a
watch set with turquoise to wear on the
lapel of your electric blue gown, and
you can keep the watch as long as you
please by paying the rate Of interest
agreed upon when you take possession
of it.
OF course, you must pay a deposit
amounting to the full value of the tur-
quois bauble before you take it out of
the shop, but when you go back with 1t
all the money will be refunded except
the small sum charged for its use.
1t is so with diamonds, and so with
rings. Indeed, the whole list and cate
CORY of jewelry might be included, only
these are the things most commonly
rented.
When the large balls are under way,
especially the French ball and the
Arion ball, the jewelry shop will be on
the night of the dance nearly cleared of
its rentable stock. But by next day
noon everything IS returned, and the
Jewels, newly polished and as glittering
as ever, are back in their cases waiting
for the next hiring out.
1T is very strange" said the pro-
Of tha TO HI icL rnanf foi
note of the jewelry which we rent most.
There, for example, is small diamond
sun. 1t has been rented more than any
other article in our shop. 1t is of very

WIN our WrILL6I agreement 10 deliver

the reception. Next morning we send

"Our best trade is in renting hair

Then watches, and lastly rings.
sometimes we make arrangements
with a customer to sell a watch or pin
outright. with the privilege of exchange
within month for S. less than the sum

In other ways the expense will be
ADDED to. A base ball suit could lie OBJ
tanned for very reasonable sum, while
the cost of bat and ball was compare
lively nothing. Interest was always
added to base ball suit which showed
traces of wear, and gave the impress
sion that the wearer had won some
furious slides, and been mixed in some
terrific games. But the tennis suit
must be different. 1t must be clean and
neat all of the time. Grass stains will
not be tolerated. and the white trousers
must be kept constantly bleached.

EIGHT SERIOUSLY INJURED.

WINAMAC, Ind, April 1G.-The pas
Senger steamer Nellie Bly,, owned by j.
f. FiShborn Il Co., while making trip
down the river this afternoon, blew
up, seriously inJuying eight persons.
George Traun, proprietor of the
Eagle machine shops. of this city, had
both legs broken and crushed and was
severely injured internally. The
others were less seriously hurt. None
Of the passengers escaped injured.
The boat was entirely demolished
and sank Immediately after The
explosion. Among the seriously in
jured are: Clarence FishOorn,
j. i. FishDorn. Daniel Rhodes and
James Long. When the accident oc-
Cured the boat was in shallow water.
The pilot has discovered that there was
something wrong with the machinery,
and WAS steering for shore. But for
this fact it is probable that every
person on board would have been

feet and completely covered with

plished with great difficulty by those
who were not seriously injured. The

New YORK, April 16.-The small boy
has caught the worlds fair fever. There
has been Il great falling off IN the num-
Der of bows in New York who want
work. and it is said on good authority
that this dearth is cue to general mi
grafton to Chicago. The ranks of the
American District Telegraph boys began
TO thin out about Il week ago, and it was
found impossible to get boys enough to
fill the vacant places. Accordingly, 100
men were taken on the force, thing
almost without precedent. The super
intendents of the newsbOys' lodging
houses, the West Side Boys lodging
house and of several other refugees for
the small boy say the number of tenants
they have this year is very much small
er than that reached last year. They
attribute the scarcity of toys to the fact
that many are working their way West

SHOPNIEN TO STRIKE.

Violating an Agreement.

Violating an Agreement.
DENVER, April ga strike of all
the shOpmeD on the Union Pacific rail-
way system will take place at noon to-
morrow, unless the orders issued
from Omaha today are withdrawn. A
meeting of the shopmen in Denver
was held today and the conservative
element-thoSe who oppose a strike
won. and a request was sent to the
officers of the order at Omaha not to
declare strike until they hear from
this city. The trouble is said
to be of long standing. Some time ago
the officers of the road signed an agree
ment with the men that no more men
would be put to work until time had
been raised from eight to nine hours a
day. 1t is now claimed that the company
has been putting on additional men on
the eight-hour scale. AS this is in vio-
lation of the agreement, the strike is
ordered. Great secrecy has been main-
tanned, and it is hard to learn any
details of the trouble. but there
seems but little doubt but that the strike
will occur. Several hundred men Will
go out in this city and at Cheyenne, as
well as the hundreds employed at
Omaha and other points.
