HE CANNOT DOCK THE WATERS.
Landlord of the Victoria Hotel Loses His
Case In Court.


Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. 29-Proprietor Mill
gan of the Victoria hotel laid aside the
business of inn-keeping for a few hours
yesterday and delved into the mysteries
of law The occasion was suit brought
against the hotel by a discharged waiter,
the case being called in Justice Ham
burgher's court. 1t is the custom in ho-
tells to charge walters for dishes which
they break. In December 2. A. Carey
knocked over table in the kitchen of
the Victoria and broke $4.13 worth of
dishes. This was taken out of his De
cember salary. When he was discharged
last week he demanded that the amount
be returned to him, which was refused,
and a suit resulted Mr.. Milligan thought
it was unnecessary to employ an attor-
ney, and he went before the justice per-
sonally. Although not versed in legal
lore he did very WE'LL SO he thinks, but
Justice Hamburgher thought differently,
and decided the case against him. He
was assessed the amount of the bill and
costs, which amounted to SIS. Mr.. Mill
gan was obliged to ask the court how to
take an appeal, which he did according
to Instructions

TOOthache Racket Barred,

The postal administration of Geneva
has had trouble with the employees, and
Mr.. Bovet, the director general of the
Cantonal Post, issued this remarkable
dental manifesto. It's funnier than any
thing written of late years by Mark
Twain: ut often happens that the pos
tai staff falls i'll in consequence of tooth
ache and Inflammation ensuing there
from. Extraction is the only remedy.
But the employers prefer to suffer rather
than undergo this operation. They
abandon their work, and the interests of
the postoffice are thereby endangered.
This situation cannot last. Notice is
hereby given that the claims of tooth
ache to be considered as an illness will
be no longer admitted by the administra-
ton. Employees absenting themselves
for this reason will in future be classed
under the schedule absences for pleasure
and preventible Irregularities, and they
will have to pay the expenses of their
cnhctitI1tnc -

Elephants Not Popular.

The fact that Opponents are almost
entirely unheard of now in the higher
circles of society may be laid to many
reasons. In the first place the romance
came in to displace the cozy old post
chaise and the idea of an irate father
pursuing his fleeing daughter over tel
egraph wire instead of by means of the
foam-fecked steed is anything but beau
tiful. Furthermore, the young people of
today do more what they want to do
without any one else's leave than did
the youth and maid of a century ago.
The modern girl is so well trained, so
thoroughly filled with a sense of the
formal proprieties of life, that she pre-
fers to enter wedlock to the strains of
"Lohengrin," rather than to adopt the
old-time mad rush to Gretna Green with

New Way to Raise Money.

The Methodist brethren are shreWd
fnanciers, which is one reason why their
churches seldom have any trouble over
money matters. That some of them have
discovered a new way of raising funds
is shown by the statement that the stew
ards in the Methodist church at Alberts-
vile, Ala, finding their church revenues
insufficient have levied an annual tax of
$40 on each tobacco chewing member OF
the congregation. The plan is said to
work admirably and bring in a goodly
revenue.-Troy Times.

A STRIPED DRESS.
A New Way 20 Make Up One for the
Woman Who Does Not Want
to Appear Too Tall.

The striped dress is terror to the very
tall woman, because of the ungainly APP
pearance it gives her. But this year
there comes a diagonal stripe which is
very becoming to nearly all who wear it.
The stripe might perhaps better be de-
scribed as a bias stripe, and when it is
made up it has the effect of a graceful
sweep. The favorite trimming for a
striped dress is fur, and there are so many
varieties Of fur that one does not need to
have fortune in order to purchase.
