AST0NISHED AT NOTHING.

A very funny thing happened in a Ne"
York restaurant day or two ago. Two
fellows with their girls walked into the
eating house for midnight supper The
girls were younger and handsomer tEan
their escorts. They attracted the atten-
tion of a young red>headed fellow who
had come in for supper, and ne begun to
oole them much to their entertainment
and Measure. One of the escorts was
furious. He stood it as long as he could,
and then seized a salt cellar with view
of hurting it at the red headed rooster

and shot the waiter, and another walter

on the floor. He shot out the lights and,
being crowded, made a rush for the
street, shooting at every lbody sin sight

Bless his heart, he had no idea of allow
ing little thing like that to cut him off
from his midnight meal, not he. He had
learned an old lesson which certain Gree
clans sought to inculcate' in the minds of
the growing lads-thatis, toibe astonished
at nothing. He ate his supper while the
wounded groaned in the hospitals and the

Perhaps it may be said that some OF

a pun is not necessarily "a twisting OF

Knight street Mr.. Norcross discovered n
man in the snow unconscious from ex-
posure. The Knight street station
was not at that time open during
the day, so Mr.. Norcross lifted
the unconscious man on his back
and carried him bodily from Knight
street to Union street. At Union street
MIR. Norcross was joined by the present
warrant officer, Mr.. Jones, aud together
they got the man 10 the Central station,
where after several hours hard work he
was finally restored to consciousness.
Mr.. Norcross' sympathetic nature some
times led him to peculiar and amusing
experiences. At one time he saw man
bent with age going from house to house
on High street. Mr.. Norcross at last
talked with the aged one and learned
that he was without home, money or
friends, and was seeking little assistance
to enable him to reach Boston, where be
said he would be we'll taken care of. Mr..
Norcross thought that this was case
where the city could well afford TO be
charitable 10 the extent OF purchasing a
ticket for Boston, so he took the aged
penniless and friendIess one to the sta
ton. There II was found that the object
of Mr.. Norcross' sympathetic and charit-
able intentions had 300 in his inside
pocket.

they said they were trying 10 help. In
their attempt to do SO, the men told the
saloon keeper they had boxed up all the
goods In their store and expressed them

They asked the saloon keeper for the use
OF his name, for the purpose OF opening
store and selling the goods.
Becomtng suspicious that the men were

the police who arrested Rutr,n and Ehren-
berg. When taken to the Burt and ques-
they refused to divulge anything about

1t is understood tnat houses which have
been carrying considerable lines OF
American tobacco lately for the account
of one house which gave out the orders,
have been told within a few days to send

is supposed to mean that sufficient line
has been sold from headqusrters. 1t was
rumored yesterday that the American To-
bacco Company has recently paid OF some
of its loans and that there were some favor
able developments in sight. The fact
that injunction proceedings have not
materialized Is construed to mean that
the chances are against anything being
done in that direction at present. Some
traders think that enough tobacco was
sold on the advance TO make the people
who engage in the campaign not unwtll-
ing TO see an injunction or something else
which would enable them to puy back
their stock at low price.

that this will be the banner year, but

a novel method. There are exchanges
formed in many OF the large cities like

is none here, TO which these dealers
and which have men travelling
throughout the country to trace the
pending building operations. Having
learned that-a mill Is going to be erected,

firms are Immediately furnished all the
data obtainable. This enables them TO
send circulars or representatives setting
forth the merits OF their wares TO the
owner or contractor aud thus obtain their

the kind In Providence, Ma Hopkins has
no doubt that many OF the large lumber,
paint. wall paper, cement, stone, nail
and hardware houses subscribe TO the

fitted to great extent thereby.
In fact, he knows that agents OF such
exchanges visit his Office and obtain from
