SENDS HIS BILLS TO THE MEN.
shopkeeper VINO Found That They
Paid Much More Promptly
Than the Women.

There is a man in an eastern city
who does a large business in babies
dresses, and clothing for very young
children, writes Edward Box, in La
dies Home journal. He makes anQ
sells nothing else. His trade is almost
entirely with women. Up to within
three years ago he would send out to
his customers bills amounting to as
much as $4,000. In six months time
he would receive less than SO 900 in re-
turn. Yet his customers all stood
well' and were considered women of
easy means. Then he deliberately
changed his method of rendering bills.
He went over his books and found that
ne had some $4,000 worth of unpaid
accounts. He made out the bills and
addressed them to the husbands or
fathers of his customers, directing the
bills to their offices. Within 60 DAYS
he had received SO, 600 in checks. His
invariable rule now is to send all his
bills to the husbands, fathers or the
male members of his ustomers' fami-
hes. When no male member exists he
insists upon a cash transaction.

AUSTRALIAN NIcKNAMES,

says the Leisure Hour. The inhabitants
of New South Wales have long been
known as "cornstalks," an allusion to
the length and slimness of the aver
age young New South Wales native.
Victorians are known as "gum-suck-
ers," with reference to the gum that
is found on many native trees, some
of which is relished by Juveniles.
"Crow-eaters," as applied to the south
Australians, owes its origin 10 a state
menI that in times of drought the
wheat farmers of south Australia are
driven to the source suggested for
food. "Wheatfelders" is a more eu.
phonious name sometimes used for the
same province. The Queenslanders are
known as banana landers," that trop-
ical fruit growing there abundantly.
Western Australians--or as they are
now generally called, Westralians-
are known in the east as "sand crop
ers" or "gropers." The Westralians
themselves group all the other states
into "tother side" and call the resi-.
dents "tother siders." Tasmania

climate and other characteristics. is
generally regarded as very quiet and
rather behind the times, and is re.
ferred to as "the land of lots OF

called "Tassies' and "iam-eaters." the
latter being an allusion to the great
fruit production of the tight little

Women in Holland.

A great change has come over pub
lie feeling in Holland as to girls in
the upper classes earning their own
livelihood. The prejudice against
women working for a livelihood has
almost disappeared and even rich
women sometimes choose a profess
sion. They number doctors, dentists,
many of them first rate, Photographic
ers, and gardeners. About 1000 girls
hold posts as assistant chemists,
some 1900 are nurses, trained in the
White Cross homes, and on a par
with the very best of their profess

st. Nick at "Nicks" Shelter

one of the pleasantest things which
happened in connection with Christ
mas around lola occurred out at the
Nicholson Smelter yesterday. Mr..
Nicholson has always been kind to
his men and remembers them in differ
ent little ways. one of which is the
presentations of turkeys for Thanks
giving dinners. But this time the en-
ployes turned tie tables on him and
concluded to do little giving them
selves.
Just as the noon whistle blew all of
the men to the number of about $50
dropped their work and falling in two
and two marched down to the Office
and called for Mr.. Nicholson.
Thomas Payton as spokesman for the
men told in well chosen words how
much they appreciated what Mr..
Nicholson had done for them, in what
high regard they held him and of the
close and friendly feeling existing be-
tween employer and employee. Then
adding that the men wished TO recipro-
cate some of the kindness shown them
he presentation committee consisting
of c. G. Crumb, Thomas Payton and
|. NJ. Cade gave to Mr. Nicholson a
handsome turkish rocker, leather up
holstered and costing some $50. Mr..
Nicholson was completely taken back
but he responded to the boys in way
which showed that he felt deeply what
they had done for him and in fitting
words he thanked them for the gift
and for the kind words which accom-
panied it, Wher it was placed in the
Office and MIR. Nicholson comfortably
seated in it the men gave three cheers
for him before leaving.
These are the kind of things which
make Christmas especially enjoyable
and they show that. while lola is busy
accumulating money and looking after
the business side of life she is also
cultivating the other side, cultivating
those things OF the heart which make
life most worth living. And as the
REGISTER :has remarked before Rs
long as such relations as this EXIT
between employers and employees lola
won't be bothered with any labor
troubles.

is in itself of much consequence. a
competent statistician estimates il at
1R per cent. of the total amount in
circulation, or $37,5OO.OO0 for gold and
silver combined. On this basis it may
be calculated that the annual loss
which actually takes place in gold
alone by wear and tear is about $20,-

ways, vast quantities are boarded (es-
pecially in foreign countries), and a
large proportion of this is Subsequent

calculation was made a few years ago,

MARY POWELL DORR.

Mrs. Mary Powell Dorr, the widow of Francis Adams Dorr, died at her home on Front street, Tuesday morn ing, July 23, 1901, at 11:35 o'clock.
 Her last sickness covered a week, the end approaching gradually and about her bedside at the last hour, were gathered nearly all of her child ren.
 The deceased was born near Vim cennes, Indiana, May IS, 1922 and un- til the time of her marriage on Sept. 28, 1843, lived in that state. Later they moved to Iowa and in 1870 locat- ed at Jacksonport, where they re- sided four years, before taking up their residence at Sulphur Rock.
 Here it was, that the husband, a prominent Mason died, and Mrs. Dorr soon after made Newport her home, where she had firm and true friends among her circle of acquaintances.
 With a noble character, sympathet- ic disposition, constant nature and loving heart, her loss will be all the more keenly felt by reason of her vir- tues.
 The children of the deceased now living are T. B. R. DOrr Charlotte, J O.Dorr of Dota, R. C.Dorr of Batesville, A. P. Dorr of Genado, Texas, s. A. and Miss c. G. Dorr of Newport The burial of the deceased was held at Sulphur Rock Wednesday whither the body was taken on the morning train.

ADJOURN TO MONDAY.
Both Court and Grand Jury Suspend Proceedings for the Week.-Dave Allen Indicted for Murder in
 the First Degree.

The grand jury on Thursday after noon after returning the twenty-one indictments reported in Thursdays daily, took an adjournment till Mon day morning, July p.
 This left the criminal court with very little to work upon, which was consequently adjourned by Judge Full kerson until the same day.
 One additional indictment was brought in by the grand jury, that of Dave Allen negro, for murder in the first degree. His bond was fixed at 5000 and failing to secure this, he was committed to the county jail. He had hearing Tuesday, July 23, when his case was continued. Gustave Jones is counsel for the defendant.
 STORY OF THE TRAGEDY.
 Dave Allen, the negro soon to be tried for murder in the first degree is accused of numbering a white man Matthew Griffin, last March.
 Griffin was farmer living across the river in the bottoms, and to reach home left the road at a gate near the cabin occupied by Dave Aliens father. Upon the evening in question, he had been drinking heavily and it is claim ed was in a violently intoxicated con- dition.
 He is alleged to have begun swear ing at the negroes near the gate and to have started after Dave Allen the defendant with a knife. The latter was chopping wood, but threw down the ax and ran; when cornered he grabbed club, striking Griffin blow over the head, from which he fell never to regain consciousness.
 Such is the story of the killing as told by eye witnesses, which if the defense can establish will probably clear the accused, as Griffin's reputa- tion was an unsavOry one.

NEW WHOLESALE HOUSE.

Batesville is to have another whole sale grocery house to be known as the White River Wholesale Grocery Co., The articles of incorporation will be issued as soon as the papers can be sent in to the Secretary of State.
 The officers of the new company are J. s. Handford, president; I. N Barnett, vice -president James P. Ad- ans, secretary, and D. D. Adams manager.
 The company organized with a cap ital stock of $25, 1000, all of which is paid up. One thing that assures suc- cess to the new corporation is the fact that nine-tenths of the retail dealers in their trade territory have subscrib- ed for stock.
