The Frisky Salado Plays
 Trick on Him.
It Suddenly Constructs an
 Island for His Sole Use.
A Party of Friends Last Night Went Out to Rescue Him From His
 Solitary Predicament.

Simon Novinger knows how Robin son Crusoe felt. All yesterday after noon he was monarch of all he surveyed on sandy.island in the river about five miles below the city. He could look across and survey the shore on either side, but that wasn't any part of the island, consequently he wasn't mon arch of It to any perceptible extent. He could even look toward the city and perhaps see his landed possessions in Neahr's and Capitol additions and the Novinger tract. He was no longer menarch ot them. He had been exiled, expatriated, marooned. Gen. Collins was the sole and exclusive boss and captain of the ship. MT. Novinger's island grew right up under his nose. When he landed on it and took possession it was like Sancho Panza's isle, inconyeniently situated with respect to water. There was none in sight. By the middle of the after noon it was like any other island but still inconyeniently situated with respect to water. It was entirely surrounded and Mr. Novinger was in the center of it without navy or balloon. At late hour last night he was stil! there ard his friends were only fearful that the encroaching waves would make sad havoc with MT. Novinger's island if indeed they didn't wash it entirely away.
 Joseph Monihon came. to town yea- terday evening bringing word of Mir. Novinger's unfortunate situation and began organizing a relief party.
 In the morning MT. Novinger and two young men went down to the river duck hunting. They passed by shelf of land from the bank to an elevated tongue of land which lies in the middle of the bed of the river. The bed was dry and there was nothing in the ap- pearance of things to indicate that it would be otherwise very soon. But soon after noon there was sudden rise 4 high wall of water rolled down the empty channel, and after the wall passed on the water rose in volume showing that there had been a terrific and protracted storm in the mountains All the smaller elevations in the bed of 1 higher ones were surrounded.
 The young men Eho had gone out with Mir. Novinger had recrosaed to the bank before the rush came and soon a roaring and deepening flood was pour ing over the shelf of land upon which they had lately trod.
 They did not see Mir. Novinger after. ward, but knew that he was still on the island as he had gone to its upper point.
 At the time the young men left the river bank the stream was no longer fordable between the main land and the island, bat they thought the other channel of it might have been crossed on horseback.
 Several persons drove down the river last night, hoping to be able to find 2 boat and bring MT. Novinger ashore Yesterdays rise is said to have beer the most extensive within so short 2 l time in wars

POLICE COURT.
Business Was Duller Than Was
 ExpsCted.

Police court was not as lively yester day morning as the officials had reason to believe it would be. There had been two days in which to accumulate bJsi ness, so it was with 8 feeling of slight disappointment that the recorder sur veyed the sorry looking quartet which confronted him. There were Garrison Cole and James Clarkson, who had been impounded for having no remuner ative occupation. Neither looked as if he wanted anything to do and Clarkson did not look as if he would do anything if he had it to do. He was sent below for fifteen days. Cole seemed to be only apathetic; he had apparently no active antipathy to work but did not take enough interest in it to rustic for it. He got ten days.
 Chas. Rowland and A. W. Daugherty, for drunkenness and disturbance of the peace, got two days each.

Splendid Performance of Gh3 Fla
 Vorite Old Drama.

VOrite Old Drama.
 The players of the Payton stock con- pany showed plainly last night that they are artists in the performance ot the serious and pathetic ss wei. ae in the mere mirth-provoking comedy rsrte ln which they have mostly snone here- tofore. The play Has East Lynne. a favorite old drama, the story of which is familiar to the readers of Mrs. Henrx Wood. It is the old, old story oi love., passion,. jealousy and misunGer- standing followed by misery, heapt- rending and despair and f1all7 retribution. Miss Keene, ia the leading part of the misguided wife and anguish-stricken mother, fairly transcended all her previous ef- forts and proved that while she can com mand laughter at will in her lighter parts, her forte is the emotional. She combines a certain grace of movement and gesture with 8 skilfulness of pose and capacity of using to the point of subiimity when the occasion demands which never fails to bring down the house.
 Mr Culver in the part of the nobfs and iudulgent husband had also an op- portu nity of displaying his splendid ability to better advantage that prevl- ously since the opening of the engage ment. He has sympathetic voice and an earnest, honest. manly iash1on ol acting whether it be declaration of love, resignation or hope and trust.
 The rest of the company was excel lent. Tonight will be given Haze, Kirke and the Living Pictures and to- morrow night Boucicault's master piece, "A Noble Outcast."

Two Clever Women Who Have Fin

and Paying Business.
this order.

The professional shopper for out-of-
town people has been an institution for
some time past, but she has not in
variably made a success of her trade,
as it is a business requiring especial
talents and modes of procedure.
The two leading buyers. as they cali
themselves. of New York City. have
had phenomenal career of prosperity
and greatly due to tact, good taste and
good judgment. Their experience
shows that a few of the most neces-
sary qualifications in the way of
equipment for professional shopping
are the art of letter-writing, prompt
ness, fairness and alacrity in the pay
ment of all bills. The letters must be
business-like and still friendly and
evincing a certain amount of interest
in the client and her wants. All orders
must be filled at once, for was there
ever a specimen of the petticoat per-
suasion who did not want her things
/ in a hurry
1t is best never to change the regular
prices charged at the shops, but to ask
a stated per cent. commission on all
purchases. This system is the most
satisfactory for both client and buyer.
as it places all transactions on a fair
ana DuSlneSS-llke basis.
If all bills are paid within twenty
four hours after their receipt, the
buyer soon finds herself regarded with
trust and respect by the merchants,
and her name is enrolled in both Dunn
and Bradstreet's commercial director
les with an "a No. 1" beside it, which
is as much of a passport in the bust
ness world as to be a Colonial dame
is in the social hemisphere. The best
plan is to have accounts at the vari-
Gus shops, the bills appearing the first
of each month. The clients should for
ward remittances by check, draft, post
office order or registered letter, al
though goods can be sent c.. o. D.
A point that it is we'll to carefully
observe is that the wishes of the eli
ent be carried out as explicitly as pos
sible, with no attempt on the buyer
part to persuade her to purchase
otherwise. If the client desire an or
ange bonnet it is safer for the buyer
to send her one, even though it may
give her the nerves" to do so, than
to try and argue that blue or gray
would be in better taste.
Starting in with one order. these two
leading buyers of New York. who are
sisters, have in five years worked up
such a business that they now have a
clientele of seven hundred persons liv-
ing in all parts of the Union; they
have been forced to take in an as
sistant and a typewriter, and are con-
templating hiring an apartment or
suite of rooms in which to transac ct
their affairs, and also to increase
their corps of workers by three or four
assistants.
They have never advertised or sent
out business cards except upon appli-
catiCn, the whole enterprise having
grown through personal friends. They
