WOES OF A RESTAURANT KEEPER.
Ills Napkins and Even His Casters Carried
on by Customers.

It was during the second half Of the
rush for dinner in n restaurant near
Washington market, where several thou
sands persons are fed daily, when great
olamor arose for napkins, and walters
rushed about gathering up what few
could be found on the tables and distrib-
uting these, and others were dispatch
ed to the laundry for more. Henry, the
head waiter, went around meantime
trying to pacify the people, who were
angry and declaring that it was shame
that the house couldn't give man a
napkin to wipe his mouth with. Some
customers fell back upon the time hon.
ored custom Of the neighborhood and
used the corners Of the tablecloths in
lieu Of the missing napkins.
Its curious and an annoying mat
ter how we run out of napkins every
little while," said Henry. "You might
suppose that because they are Numbered
so frequently they disappear in the reg
ular way by wearing out, but that is
not true. You will seldom see napkins
in restaurant which show the effect of
wear. They go. because they are stolen.
This is true not only of such popular
restaurants as this, but also of every res
taurant in this city. Who takes them
do not know. All we know is that they
disappear regularly, and our SUPPOSE
ton is that some are carried off by peo-
pie who deliberately intend to steal
them and others by persons who put
them into their pockets by mistake 1
know one such person as this. 1t was
woman of undoubted honesty, but it
was joke among the members of her
own family that she never dined at a
hotel or restaurant without carrying off
a napkin which she had unconsciously
stuffed into her pocket. We got IS dozen
big dinner napkins few weeks ago.
Within three weeks they had all disap-
peared but five dozen, and now there
isn't one in the house.
Tableware goes in the same way
sometimes. A little while ago we got
eight dozen Of these salt and pepper cast
ers." Here Henry pointed to some neat
little cut glass casters with silver plated
tops. ave put them on the tables dur
ing the time the wagon boys were COM
ing in here for breakfast last fall, just
before they would start out to sell their
days buyings Oh the streets. 'Hully
geeV they would say. That's pretty
nice thing. l guess I'll swipe it just for
luck-see?' And when they left every
day we would miss a few casters. Five
dozen Of them were lost within a few
weeks. New York Sun.

There are queer ways of making living
in New York. Ono Sunday man adver-
tised that ho had found wallet with u
large sum of money in it and gave street
and number where he could be addressed.
Thirty five men called, and 10 others wrote
him letters. The losers stated the sum al
all the way from $4,000 to so, 900, and
most of them gave the denominations OF
tho bills. He was promised all the way
from $1,000 to $1,000 to restore tho lost
wallet, but there being none to restore no
couldn't do it. No person advertiscS n
found that he doesn't receive calls from
ut least dozen people who seem to make
business of trying to get possession OF
lost articles belonging to others. They
must he successful sometimes, or they
would not Keep it up.-Detroit Free Press.

HOW THE KILLING OCCURRED.
Particulars of the Killing of the Negro

Particulars of the Killing of the Negro
Mistaken for the Randolph Rapist.
From the Eufaula Times,
The body of man supposed to have
been Lum Warren was carried through
Eufaula from Brantley, Ala, Yesterday
morning, He was killed near that place
by Dr.. Coston, Mr.. Smith and Mr..
Bently, and they were on the train with
the remains. DR.. Coston, to whom
largely the credit of the mans capture
is due, told the story to Times report
er:
He had been )tified that man sup
posed to be Lum Warren was in the
neighbOrhOod and when he had a call to
60 to the country he placed his pistol in
his pocket. He met the man on the
banks of the Conecuh river in a swamp.
lie sent his buggy boy back mile, os-
tensibly to get his medicine chest but
with note to some fellows to come on,
he had Lum. They FASTENED to the
spot a mile away and all this time he
was converSing with the supposed Lum,
trying to hire him. When Lum would
not agree to work for one plice he would
raise his offer of wages and thus held
him for perhaps an kOur. When the
other boys came the doctor leaped from
his buggy, and as he did s. pistol ball
from the culprit went through his coat
and other shots were fired by the sup
posed Lum. Lum was then shot by Or.
Coston and received wounds fir m sever
al OF the posse, one load of small shot
striking him in the head. He was on
the bank of the river at the time and
turned and plunged in, trying to swim
across. He made two or three ticks and
went under. AS the place was an eddy
one of the boys returned to Brantley aud
in the afternoon came out and fished out
his body. In answer to telegram to
the sheriff of Randolph county they
we're directed to carry the body to Cuth-
bert for Identification and yesterday the
gentlemen named went over to Cuthbert
with the remains.
The negr0's body was not that of Lum
Warren. He was poor devil escaping
! doubtless from some man hunters else
! where and ran into the man hunters and
was killed. Who shall say, rightfully
! killed?

the party is red everywhere with re-
greet.
Baron FOulton Won Norbeck was an

Threatened by Outlaws.


Threatened by Outlaws.
A special from Newton says: On Won
day night, while Mr.. A. G. McMurrie
was returning home from Bainbridge,
he was met by five or six men who de-
handed him to halt. AS soon as the
team was checked up they threw their
pistols in his face and threatened to kill
him and two or three negroes who were
in his wagon. The negroes soon de-
serted Mr.. McMurria by taking to the
woods and the outlaws shot at one of
the negroes as be jumped from the wag-
on. They told Mr.. McMurria that they
wanted to kill him and the negroes for
allowing the negroes to sing in passing
their homes at night, and said that Mr.
McMurria would not allow them to have
schools in their neighborhood.
Mr.. McMurria was here on yesterday
and heard that the same crowd was on
the roadside waiting his return home.
Mr.. McMurria is one of our most pros
porous farmers, and besides one of the
cleverest and most law-abiding citizens
in the county. He is one of the board
of county commissioners.

One of the funny antics of the
citizens living in country called
the United States is, that they will
turn out armed to the teoth and
face death in stOrming Il Jail to
lynch some malefactor, or shoot
some bank robber or horse thief,
but will quietly submit to be rob-
bed of their political rights by a
set of thieving election board
counters, and the thieves thus OBJ
tanning the Offices steal more than
all the horses, or all the money IN
the banks, and cause moro power
ty and crime and prostitution than
all the malefactors ever hung.
Yes, they are a very queer people
over in the United States. They
kill the little criminals and honor
the big ones. If they would re-
verse the order, much good would
result, but they are such queer
people.-Appeal to Reason.

Resolutions.
WARD 8, June 9th, 1896.


At meeting of the Peoples
Party Club held at the First Bap-
fist church, ward o, the following
resolutions were adopted:
Whereas the vote cast for parish
and State offices in this parish
(Natchitoches) on the DIST day of
April, 1896, show fraud as promul-
gated by the Returning Board,
BE it Resolved, that we, the men,
bers of the above named club will
not tolerate such gigantic frauds
to be pcrpetuated without protest
ing against it, and if the men de-
clared elected by the Returning
Board of Natchitoches parish are
commissioned, we will not recog
nize them as such.
BE it further Resolved, that we
heartily endorse the action OF the
people of ward three, and will
stand by them for justice.
Resolved, that as we have been
informed that certain merchants
have threatened to boycott all Pop
ulists, we take this method of in
forming them that we do not in
tend to do them any financial harm
in any way, but if they persist in
their folly, we will be forced to
draw the line and give our bust
ness strictly to friends of our party.
Resolved, that a copy of these
resolutions be furnished the Lou
isiana Populist with a request to
publish the same. All papers
friendly to the cause will please
