ROBBERY AT RH|NELANDER.

About o'clock Saturday afternoon an
unknown masked man entered the back
door of the Palace drug store at Rhine
lander, and before Mr.. Samuel Church
who was clerking in the store and alone
at the time realized what was going on
he was looking in the muzzle of a revolt
yer. The robber demanded his money,
and also requested Mr.. Church to open
the safe and cash register which he did,
The robber kept Mr.. Church covered with
the revolver while he went through his
pockets, the safe and cash register, after
taking what money be could find, about
thirty dollars, he told Mr.. Church to go
with him into the back part OF the
store. Mr. Church is a man of small
statue, he was without weapons and
could do nothing but obey. When they
reached place near the back door in the
rear Of the prescription case, the robbef
cooked his revolver and drew it up evi-
IDENTIFY with intent to murder. But MI.
Church was too quick for him and just
Us the robber fired, he sprang towards
him. The bullet passed through bis
clothes between his left arm and body
inhicting only slight flesh wound on
the left side of his body few inches be-
low the arm pit At this instant Mr.
Church clinched the robber, and received
blow on the head rom the revolver III
the robbers hands. When this blow was
struck the revolver few out of the rob
bers hands and both men grappled and
fell. The robber had now lost his weap-
on and began to weaken He asked MT.
Church if he was willing to quit Mr..
Church said he was, and had been since
first they met. The robber then broke
away and ran out the back door in the
direction OF Gallaghers's saloon. Mr..
Church then picked up the revolver and
fired three shots at him without effect
The robber locked himself i'll one of the
back rooms in Gallagher's saloon where
he was captured soon alter by the Off
cers and the money he had stolen re-
covered.
MT. Church was very plucky and GER
tainly very fortunate, for it seems quite
probable that the robber intended after
he had secured the money to kill MI.
Church 80 that he would have more time
to make his escape before the deed was
discovered.

The keeper showed me all through the

years old, but the Oldest bird they had

CURE FOR DIPTEERIA,

1t is now well known in London
where diptheria is always preva-
lent, that no medical practitioner
ever obtained such fame for the
successful treatment as the cele-
brated Dr. Field, and while his
mode of handling the disease was
supposed to be great secret, late
issue of the London Lancet, a med
ical publication of the highest au-
tority, gives the following as all
there was in it. Says that publica
ton;
All that DR., Field took with him
was the powder OF sulphur and a
quill, and with those be cured every
patient without exception, He put
a teaspoon(ul Of the powder (aow.
ers Of sulphur into a wine glass of
water and stirred It with his finger
instead OF a spoon, as sulphur does
not readily amalgamate with water

minutes the patient was out Of

species of fungus in man, beast or
plant in a few minutes In extreme
cases, where the fungus almost

The Doucet Skirt.

The doucet skirt shirred on fine cords
around the waist, the shirring extend
ing below the hips, is popular feature
of summer frocks. In organdie this
fashion is particularly adaptable. A
pretty summer girl" who looked as
if she had stepped out of a picture at a
wedding in the country recently, had
an organdie with white ground, pow
dered with tiny pink rosebuds, the skirt
made in this way and worn over white
taffeta slip The waist had little full
ness gathered on the right shoulder and
under the arm, the folds being brought
across the breast diagonally and fas
tened with ruff1e on the left side,
forming curve around the collarless
neck, which was left q little bare, the
organdie forming sort of bolero, which
was drawn tightly across the figure and
the waist defined by high draped belt.
The sleeves were made without being
gathered and drawn tightly around the
arms, except at the top, where smart
looking puff accentuated the shoulders.
With this pretty frock was worn a
leghorn hat tilted over on the side by a
cluster of pink roses. Roses also formed
a garniture on top, with loops of black
velvet ribbon forming an aigret on one
side.-New York Tribune.

MARTHA MORTON.

success encouraged her to try again, and a
few months afterward Helene" was pro-
duced at special matinee at the Fifth
Avenue theater. The success this play
achieved induced Miss Clara Morris tobuy
it and place it in her repertory. Miss
Morris in turn disposed of it to Cora Tanner.
''The Merchant was Miss Morton S
next attempt at playwriting. The piece
won for her the prize offered by the New
York World for the best original American
play, and was afterward sold by her for
the sum of $4,000. Miss Morton then
wrote "Geoffrey Middleton, Gentleman, +"
which the Pitou company produced.
Since then Miss Morton has written
"Brother john and "His Wife's Fa-
ther" for William H. Crane. Both of these
were exceptionally successful, and it is
said that her royalty on the two aggregat-
ed more than $4,000. For the coming
season she has one play for Crane, another
for Sol Smith Russell and still another
for prominent London manager. She
has never written failure, and this fact
she attributes to her unwillingness to un-
dertake anything which will necessitate a
change from her usual slow and pains
taking method of writing. 1t is not at all
likely that Miss Morton will have any
great trouble in keeping the wolf from the
door for some time to come, inasmuch as
it Is said that her income from her plays
is equal to the salary of the president of
the United States
1t has recently been announced that this
talented playwright will shortly become
the bride of a well known society man of
Gotham.
