CUSHION AND CHAIR BACK COMBINED.
comfort De covered with material that IS
quiet and unobtrusive in tone. Brilliant
hues are seldom used by the uninitiated
with artistic effect unless it chances
that they afford a decided contrast to
some sober covered chair or couch. A
bright red cushion on a slate colored
chair would prove pleasing, for instance,
but unless one is quite certain that a
high color will harmonic with the sur
roundings it is wiser to select quiet
hues that will prove inoffensive, if not
artistically correct.

FELL IN WITH THIEVES
A Miner From Cripple Greek
Loses His Gold.
BE WAS ON HIS WAY TO ENGLAND

Going Abroad 90 Claim His Fortune oi
100000 lie Exhibited HIS Wealth and
Game of Seven Up Followed Robbed
and Terribly beaten.
NEW York, Dec. "a - Charles W.
Crawford, who has Just reached here from
the west with a snug little fortune, fell
among thieves and lost a large part Of It,
Crawford is a sturdy, well built fellow
Of 81. He is an Engishman, who has
been at Cripple Creek. Colo, trying his
luck at gold mining. He was fairly sue.
oessful, but week or two ago no learned
that there was moro money waiting for
him in England than he would be likely
TO dig out OF Cripple Crock in a long time.
His father had died. leaving him sole
heir to an estate Of $50, O00 He gave mp
his claim started for New York and ex-
peotod in a day or two to sail for Liverpool.
On reaching this city tho miner took a
room in hotel, which he thinks was
near Barclay street. Then no started out
early In the evening to see the sights.
In South street he met four amiable
young men, who took him TO a saloon,
where they had several drinks. Crawford
indiscreetly exhibited a handsome gold
watch and chain, which he valued at
$3.50. Ho also showed bright new $50
gold piece Somebody suggested a game
Of cards after awhile and Crawford read
lily assentod.
Then his four newly found friends took
him TO the foot Of Pine street, where tho
tugboat Adelaide Clay tied up for the
night. They went into the cabin Of the
boat, lighted a lamp and began TO play
seven up at 81 a corner.
Was an Easy Winner.
Crawford's good luck seemingly had
not forsakon him. He was an easy win
ner, and all the money appeared to be
coming his way. There was a goodly pile
of it on the table at half past 10 o'clock,
whom suddenly all four of the strangers
nt the Same time jumped from the table
and attacked tho winner from Cripple
Creek.
They beat him about the face and head
until he fell TO the cabin floor, bleeding
and almost senseloss. They took all the
stakes from tho table and doftly removed
Crawfords watch and chain and his gold
double eagle Then the thieves escaped.
Crawford dragged himself up to the
dock, and IN South street he found
Roundsman jackson and Policeman Har-
vey II. Ware of the Old slip station. They
had his wounds dressed, and he gave them
a description of the thieves.
Ono of the robbers, ho said, was about
90 years old another about "a, and the re-
maining two were boys about is years
old All were smooth faced. The eldest
was about feet / inches tall and dressed
in dark chthes.
The police think they have clew Co
the identity Of the robbers. They took
Crawford back to the boat but It was
then deserted and nobody in the vicinity
appeared TO have any knowledge of the
robbery.
Crawford did not lose all his ready cash,
for he exhibited to the policeman a large
roll of greenbacks when he offered to treat
them
His face and head are terribly bruised,
both eyes closed, and his nose Is badly cut
He says the men, after knocking him
down, jumped on him with their feet
Crawford, before going to Cripple Creek
was in the drug business.
