A Novel way to Collect . Bi,l.

Cutie q novel suggestion In the
way Of bill collecting was made the
other day through the mistake OF a
man ma ling two letters In this city.
He had had considerable difiiculty in
persuading q young woman that his
goods had not been sold TO her for
tho mere pleasure OF selling, and
rinally she had dismissed his mes.
scngcr with the statement that she
did not want to hear from hun again.
Nothing was left for the merchant to
do hut. to resort to the United States
mails. He accordingly sat down and
wrote to the young woman letter
which was chara, terized rather by
terscncss and yigur than hY any
terms OF affcctiUn. Fortunately Yor
him, he had q social acquaintanc
with another young lady In the same
house, and while he had his pen he
thought he would write to her, too,
a personal letter. When he came to
direct his envelopes, though, he sent
the dunning letter to his personal
friend and h $ personal letter tO his
debtor 1t Is needless to say that
the mistake was corrected within q
few moments after the receipt OF the
letters, but the debtors chagrin at
the revelat on OF her position to an
other was so great that she paid her
bill Immediately. -Washingtou News

A Provision Which Has Kept . Brooklyn
House Closed for Eighteen Years.
\ The house at 255 Court Street has
( . strange history--strange ON account
Of the eccentricity Of Its former
aud original owner. The house is OF
! p; site Harrison Street and Is not un.
like half q dozen other houses on the
same block; but the feature which
distinguishes this particular house
from others les In the fact that all
the ou,cr blinds are tightly closed,
aud even the front door is double
barred with a great green shutter
Some eighteen years ago, says the
Eagle, the house had an air OF activ-
ity about it; its doors and ivs win
dows were not closely barred John
Snitzpann, widower, lived in 1t,
with his only daughter. He had
built the house and had lived In the
treighbori1oud for number OF years
He was regarded by his neighbors as
somewhat peculiar in manner, but
no one in the neigborhood was more
generally liked, in spite Of his cccen-
tricity. But his daughter had tired
of the neighborhood. Her COM
panions and friends lived in more
stylish localities and she longcd for
the day when her fathei' would sell
or rent the house on Court Street and
locate in more fashionable neigh
borhOod Yet her father would never
listen to her. Snitzpann died and
left a will giving all his property,
both personal and real, To his beloved
daughter Katherine. Lut with the
stipulation that the house. 255 Court
Street, must not be sold or rented by
her or her heirs; that she must either
occupy the house or else let it remain
idle. When Miss Snit.pann heard
the will she said nothing, but her
face wore a determined look. AS
soon as she could collecth her personal
effects she left the house aud went
to Morristown, N. j.. where she has
resided ever since. For Il period OF
over sixteen years the house remain d

thing. Great cobwebs hung in clus-
ters from the ceiling, and there was
a dampness and dreariness within
which was depressing. As the house
was rapidly going to ruin 1t became
either a question OF allowing some
one to live In it or else having it be-
come nuisance to the surrounding
houses. Fifteen months ago Edward
Bell, q middle aged German, was
commissioned to live in the place
and take care OF il. He and his wife
occupy the basement and the first
floor Of the house at present, but
they have no rent to pay. Since the
house was closed, over eighteen years
ago. the front door has never been

He Was Disxustcd with Himsel.

A good story is told OF a famous
living surgeon. A street accident
had occurred in which q man broke
his leg. Passing by, the great sur
geon used his umbrella as a splint,
bound up the leg In approved ambu.
lance fashion. and had the man
taken OIL to the nearest hospital.

Cured to the surgeon to call for the
purpose OF recovering his umbrella,
and he interviewed the house sur.
geun to that end. Tho supercilious
young gentleman said:
''Oh, / suppose you're one OF those
ambulance fellows"
To this impeachment the great
man pleaded guilty.
"Well, / don't know anything
about your um brella, but you can 70

the polite youth.
"Very good" replied the surgeon;
'but / haven't time just at present

to have it sent to me? Here Is my

through his books to be told that he
had not only genial relish for

J. ii. Twichell describes him as 60

old age, all the enthusiasm OF youth.
His genial nature expanded In the
atmosphere of seclusion amid wild
Surroundings Every party going
with him into the woods felt the
spiritual sunshine OF it. He made
the camp seem like home. The
guides all loved him, ana coveted his
service, thinking more OF his com.
pany than Of his wages The Keene
Valley folks came to look eagerly for
his annual appearance among them.
II was sight to see them shaking
hands with him after church the
first Sunday.
have heard Melville Trumbull,
the guide who was most with him in
the woods, relate the manner OF DIR.
Porter's farewell TO the Upper Au-
sable Lake, his favoritc haunt, on
which he had spent many a happy
week, and with which, one might
say, he was on terms OF the tenderest
living sympathy.
1t was in the course Of the vacation
which his conscience OF declining
strength had warned him wo Id
probably be his last in the Adiron-
dacks He had gone with Trumbull
TO the lake to pass two or three days
there In camp and have one more
look at place so dear.
On the morning when he was to re-
turn to the Valley, when everything
was made ready to start, he bade
Trumbull leave the baggage where it
was for while and row him out into
the lake. Midway between the shores
he caused the boat to stop
A long time he sat there, turning
this way and that, bending his eyes
earnestly, steadfastly, hut without
speaking, on the views around--the
Gothic Range, the cone OF Haystack,
the encircllng forest. Then he di-
rectod the guide TO take him near
and along the shore.

In all the "a. ers that he has offered

At the time that Mr.. Voorhees, is try.
ing this shell trick upon the veterans
the agents Of the Cleveland pension

may be suspended. The controlling
