Collecting Back Dues.

Tho charming blond who presides at
the registered letter window of the post
office threw up her dainty hands with
surprise few days ago when gentle
man walked up to the window, and up
turning big grip dumped its contents
before her. There were 470 letters to be
registered. Such task had never be-
fore fallen to her lot. Her appeal for
help brought the chief of the division,
who provided help in the shape of three
assistants for her, and the pile was soon
disposed of. The man stood by until
the receipts were given him.
'The fact is" he explained, II am sec
retary of fashionable club, and it's the
most difficult matter in the world to
make them pay up. I send hundreds Of
bills, and when speak to members
about it it's always the same story: 4
never got the bill, old fel; certainly I'll
pay up. just send me bill and I'll sec
that you get it. There are 470 delin-
qnents in the club and I'll be sure they
all get their bills this quarter
The responses have already begun to
come in in way that foretells the en-
tire success of the scheme.-Philadelph

Broueht the omcials to Terms.

A determined German brought the Of
ficials of New Jersey railroad company
to terms. So crowded was local train
on the Morris and Essex railroad that
many of the passengers could not find
seats. AS the train started, an indig
nant Teuton stopped the train by pulling
the bell cord and demanded that an
empty car on the track be attached.
The other passengers sustained him, but
the demands We're not needed. When
the train started again the German once
more pulled the bell cord and announced
that he would pull it every time the
train started unless another car was at
tached. After considerable dispute the
railroad officials gave in, backed down
the train, attached another car, and
thus furnished seats for all its passen-
gers.-Yankee Blade.

A Courtship by Letter.

=
Mrs. Mary NJ. Stevens, OF Lincoln,
was married the first of the week at
Grand Island to Nelson Wetson, of
Cheyenne. The marriage was the out
come of strange correspondence. A
friend of Mrs. Stevens is in the employ
of Nelson in Cheyenne, and suggested
TO him one evening that he knew of a
woman who would make him an. excel
lent wife. Nelson agreed. if the fai1
creature should prove acceptable and
could be won, to marry her. He imme-
diately wrote to Mrs. Stevens, setting
forth that he was the owner of large
and paying ranch, was well off in the
world and wanted some one to share his
lot and help eat his potatoes. The lady
was not averse to embarking in the
matrimonial sea for a second time, and
agreed that if everything was as repre-
Bented and the man was of a good moral
character she would accept.
She was fully satisfied on these points
and they Immediately considered them
selves engaged. Business interests pre-
vented Nelson leaving home long enough
to come to Lincoln and he did not wish
TO be so ungallant as to compel his be-
trothed to go to him, SO they compro-
missed and agreed to meet at Grand Is
land. Mrs. Stevens left for Grand Island,
where the couple met for the first time.
Both considered that they had secured q
bargain and were made one at once.
A letter was received in this city from
the happy bride, in which she says that
he is just glorious and too sweet for any
thing. Cor. Omaha World-Herald.

The discovery of gold in rneteorite

meteorite in question is about the size of
a mans fist, and around a good portion
of it is a solid film of gold. In one part
the metal is about an inch square. Gold
has never before been found in connec-

A Pacific institution short OF
Ready MONEY

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, June 23.-The
Board of Directors of the Pacific bank
decided not to reopen its doors this
morning. The direct cause of the sus-
pension was a notice from the clearing
house association that the banks paper
would not be accepted hereafter. 1t has
been know for some time that the bank
was laboring under financial diff
culties and the announcement of the
action OF the board does not
create great surprise. The bank has a
paid up capital stock of $1,000, 900,
a nominal reserve of about 100000,
deposits of about d million and halt.
Its loans and discounts are said to be
about two and halt million. The fail
ure seems to be altogether due to recent
montaTy troubles and it is believed the
depositors will lose nothing.
