Rich People who Don't Pay. >

New York Letter in Chicago Times, y
A wealthy society woman, who has a
fortune in her own right and husband
who is a millionaire, has been sued here
for a dressmaker's bill amounting to over
$1,000 II was contracted in order to fit
her out for Cleveland's last Inauguration.
One matinee waist cost SIS, others more
or less, with dresses ranging from $3.50
down to 800. The last time the collector
called she sent down word from her
boudoir that her finger was sore and she
couldn't write check. Then she sailed
away in her yacht and will probably be
awfully shocked when she hears that
those who furnished her with fine plum
age had the audacity to say that il must
be paid for. And there's lots of this sort
Of thing here. The other day 1 saw a
brawny man open an empty pocket-book
under the nose of a well-known swell
who has caused a divorce and say: See
that2 It's empty. Now I want you To-
pay me that $40" 1t was a bill for horse
shoeing just two years old. Another big
figure IN the theatrical world here is being
chased by the summer hotel man whom
he hung up last season. It's fun to
keep an eye on pursuers and pursued
The former lays for the latter in a pop
ular cafe. AS soon as the debtor claps
his eyes on the man who fed him he lodges
quickly out the nearest door and keeps
away for hours, and then gives up the
chase for that day. Meantime both these
men about town who cannot or will not
pay their bills can be seen buying wine
occasionally. Honor isn't in it with
p1ofhas here

WORK OF THE LOWER HOUSE.
THE sUNDRE CIVIL BILL UNDER
CONSIDERATION.

The Policy of the War Department
in Abandoning the Outlying MILF
tary Posts and Concentrating
the Army in and Near Large
cities Discussed-The Mississippi
River Improvement Also Affords
Theme for Considerable De-
bate.
Washington. Jan. 24-Beside passing a
resolution authorizing an investigation Of
the management Of the office of the ar
chitsct CT the capitol the House to-day
did nothing but consider in committee Of
the whole the sundry civil appropriation
bill which came over from yesterday.
The reading OF the bill for amendments
was completed but owing to the fact that
several matters. which have been antag-
onized remained undisposed Of, the bill
will be the order Of business tomorrow.
The policy Of the war deS rtment. in
abandoning the outlying military posts
and concentrating me army in and near
large cities. ana the Mississippi river i'm
provement afforded the themes for the
principal debate of the day but no change
was made in the bill in regard to either
Of them
Eight thousand dollars were added to
the bill to enclose the grounds of the ar
senal at Columbia. Tenn.
The item tor the Improvement Of the
Mississippi river evoked a discussion. in
the course Of which Mr. Hepburn, rep.
Of Iowa, stated that ne objected to the di-
version of public funds under the plea
of public improvements to purely private
purposes and enterprises. Nine out of ev-
cry ten dollars appropriated for the Miss
issippi river, he asserted, had been ex-
pended on the banks of the river, to the
neglect of the bed.
Mr.. Money, dem, of Miss, denied that
this was the case, and asserted that the
benefits OF the Improvement of the Miss
issippi river did not acrue to the people
of the lower valley, but largely to those
of the northwestern states. 1t gave them
water communication with Europe by
which their products We're transported to
market He had himself seen vessels
loaded at New Orleans for Liverpool with
grain from the gentlemans own state
An amendment recommended by the
committee ON rivers and harbors and Of
fered BY Mr. Sayers was agreed to- direct
ing that $4,000 of the Mississippi river
appropriation be used in the employment
of movable jetties and steel caissons in
the removal of bars and Instructions be-
tween the mouths of the Missouri and
Ohio rivers.
The following amendment offered by
Mr.. Ray, rep, of New York was agreed to:

STEPS TO GUST JOHNSON.
A Writ of Mnndamus From the SUI
preme Court Served.

preme Court Served
Jacksonville, Ma. jan 4-The first Of
fetal act in the legal proceedings by which
John F. Geiger hopes to Gust j. Z. Johnson
from the Office of county tax collector
was performed this morning when Sheriff
Pearee of Leon county, who is also the
execution officer of the Florida supreme
court, served a writ of mandamus upon
Mr.. Johnson. Sheriff Pearce arrived here
yesterday from Tallahassee and early this
morning received from the clerk of the
supreme court the necessary writ This
orders johnson to deliver up TO his sue
cessor, Mr.. Geiger, duly commissioned and
qualified, the office and all the records
pertaining thereto, or show cause on or
before Feb. why he should not.
Sheriff Pearce had some difficulty in
finding Johnson, but finally ran him down
in the office of E. W. Vail, near the
Carleton hotel. The supreme court officer
had only time to read the document to
Mr. johnson and then hand it over to him.
being compelled to take the morning train
for Tallahassee. If Mr.. Johnson refuses
to deliver up or show good cause better
than he has heretofore, an alternative
writ will issue ejecting him from the
office, and he can then institute quo
warrant proceedings if he wishes No
writ was served upon Tax Assessor
Verelst Attorneys say that was I'M
necessary as the county commissioners
have the authority to make him vacate
and to deliver up the office to his sue
cessor, A. L. Turner. The state comp
trolIer, recognizes Mr.. Turner as assessor
and the commissioners will have to do the
same thing.

Jack Rabbit Hunt at Lamar, Colorado.
From Harper's Weeklv.


From Harpers Weekly.
When the special train bringing tho
visiting hunters reached Lamar there was
a brass band at the station. and the brass
band was there when they left. The mer-
chants closed their stores. and the people
threw open their houses for the entertain-
ment of their guests. After the hunt be-
gan, the irregular discharge of the rifles
in the sand hills around Lamar reminded
one Of picket firing. When a large party
of gunners found stretch OF prairie
where the rabbits We're thick, the report
of the guns sounded Ike a general engage
ment. Though the rabbit-hunt is a fixed
annual event IN Lamar. and rabbits are
killed by thousands, there seems to be no
decrease in the number. They multiply so
rapidly during the summer months that
ii becomes necessary to make some such
organized attack on them. for they are
becoming as great a nuisance as they are
in Australia The rabbits breed on the
grassy plains above the canals, where
they stay until their forage fails them.
They then gather in the alfalfa fields,
which accounts for their being so numer.
Gus at this season OF the year
At the beginning of the hunt the wa
CONS began coming In at four O'clock and
continued until nine at night, with heap
ing loads of the slain furry enemies Of the
farmer. The cleaners began their work
with the ufsl WaBOn-lOdu, ana worked
bravely. but the odds were against them,
and they were soon half buried in the
mass Of rabbits, awaiting preparation for
shipment. At the first days hunt fully
two thousand were killed. No wagon
brought in fewer than one hundred rabits,
and one went as high as four hundred and
nifty, about three thousand pounds. A great
number Of rabbits we're slain, which were
not brought in. All records broken at
this hunt and not a single accident oc-
CURED to mar the pleasure ofsthe partic-
ipauts.
When spring comes. and the fresh green
grass comes up, the jack-rabbits appear
in large numbers, and begin to nibble
on the bark of the young fruit trees and
the vines. Whole orchards are destroyed
by them If you were to walk through a
large vineyard you might not see one rab-
bit, although hundreds might be around
you. They secrete themselves very clev-
erly in the grass, and being so nearly
the color of the ground, are hard to de-
tect. They lie close, with their large ears
fiat upon their backs, until disturbed.
and one can almost walk over them bes
fore they will move.

Little Rock. ArkeJan. 24.-Two men held
up the south bound Cotton Belt train near

smoker, a chair car and Pullman car.
Mcneil was reached few minutes before
O'Clock. 1t is a small station, but the
train was signaled to stop. Ii was thought
the two men got on here in the brief inter
val that the train stopped. About one mile
south OF the station. in a desolate spot,
the engineer was told to stop his train. He
ebeyed instructions, and, upon being com
manded 10 accompany the robbers to the
expires - did so. The engineer was
compelled, at the point of the revolver,
to ask the express messenger for admit
lance to the car. Once inside, the work
was quickly done. Railroad men here
have not received details and refuse to
say whether the amount of money taken
cut from Memphis was large.

rade, Commandant X. The commandant
never went into society, and took his meals
a a restaurant. but he could not refuse
an invitation from his old friend. The
guests were no sooner at table than the
c0mmandant did just what he was accus-
toned to do at the restaurant-he began
to wipe his knife and fork with his nap
kin. The general VINO had his eye on
him, beckOned TO servant and told him
to bring another knife and fork. Again
the cOmmand2nt proceeded to wipe them
and again the servant took them away
This little comedy was repeated seven
times Then the cOmmandant became
suspicious, or perhaps lost his patience.
Look here" he exclaimed. What does
ali this mean? Have you invited me here
TO polish up all your plate and crockery ?"
Every one laughed, explanations wera
made, ana the dinner came on.

The Board of Honor Reaches a Ver-

Athens, Ca, Jan. 24.-The investigation
of the charge of plagiarism against C. A.
Wellington of Atlanta, the winner Of the
Shropshire medal, ended late this after
noon. The board made its verdict and sent
it to Chancellor Boggs. 1t will not be

lief is that the whole matter viii be re-
ferred back to the faculty for settlement
and when it is more fully investigated the
result will probably be the same, as it is
a badly mixed up affair.
