Rain and n Blizzard.

LINCOLN. Neb., March 15-There were
light but general rains in parts of eastern
and central Nebraska to-day, followed by
colder weather, the drop in temperature
being forty-One degrees. The rain will
help winter wheat but the cold endangers
fruit buds. In northwestern Nebraska
heavy snow is falling tonight.
a special from ChadrOn says: "A blizzard
has been raging here all day, with several
inches of snow. The northbound passen-
ger train on the ElkhOrn is stalled at Stur-
gis, S. D., in ten feet of snow, and all other
trains north of here are tied up. Snow
plows are out trying to clear the tracks.
A fierce wind is blowing tonight, some
snow is falling, and the temperature is near
zero

A WOMAN AT A RESTAURANT.
She Went Alone on Sunday Evening
and Found 1t Unplcasant.
Baltimore American.


The woman lived in a furnished room
and took her meals at g. nearby boarding
house. The hands of the clock on her mantel
pointed to the hour of when she awoke
from refreshing nap. 1t was Sunday.
The woman knew il was past the hour for
supper at the clearinghouse There was
nothing left for her but to dine at restau-
rant.
Hastily donnIng a neat tailor-made gown
and an unpretentiOus, but stylish hat she
ventured out. A walk of half a block
brought her into a business street. First one
restaurant was passed then another. The
woman glanced in timidiy. They were all
crowded, and she noticed parties of men
and Of women with escorts, but alas, no
women alone By this time she had passed
i've restaurants. In sheer desperation the
woman entered the sixth. IL was a cold
night. she had walked a long way, and she
very, very hungry.
As the doors swung open she was con-
scious or the strains of sweet music, of the
glare of many lights, of the hum of voices.
There was laughter mingled with the sound
OF popping corks Walters were rushing to
and fro with heavily laden trays. and the
woman stood bewildered in the doorway
Should she advance or retreat?
The cashier at the desk looked up at the
woman in unfeigned establishment. Two
men were buying cigars. One of them
Winked at her. a waiter approached her
he didn't smile; he looked visibly annoyed.
IL didn't take the woman long TO find out
that she was unwelcOme. The waiter mo-
toned silently to her 'to go way back and
sit down." She followed the man obediently
and drew a sigh of relief as she sank into
a chair in an obscure corner-if any corner
in that brilliantly lighted room could be
called obscure.
The waiter handed the menu. The woman
discovered that she could have half OF a
chicken for 81 or a nice salad for 70 cents
Instinctively she clutched her little metal

PETITION FOR RECEIVER.
DrigGs-Seabury Gun and Ammunition
Company Said to BE InsOIvent.

TRENTON. n. j., March 15.-Papers in
a suit for the appointment of a receiver for
the briggs Seabury Gun and Ammunition
Company, of Derby, Conn. were filed in
the chancery office to-day. Vice Chancellor
Stevenson has granted a rule for the COM
Pany to show cause at Jersey City on
March "a, why receiver should not be
appointed, and in the meantime the COM
pany is restrained from doing business
The company is incorporated under the
laws OF this State. The application for a
receiver is made by Lewis briggs and Will
liam II. briggs, stockholders and creditors
Of the concern. 1t is set out in the bill that
the company is insolvent, but has valuable
contracts or hand for the United States
government.
II is stated that In October last a bal
ance sheet was made out showing that the
company has assets of $500, 1890 and liza
biities OF 1912 1888, and that in addition
the company owes $4,000 on notes in banks.

purse. She could feel the two half dollars
and the quarter-all 1t contained. She al
most fancied the waiter could see the
money through the purse by some X-ray
process. She glanced again at the menu.
The waiter stood like sphinx behind her.
If he would only go away for moment
and leave her alone to think it out.
What would she order? There seemed TO
be nothing within the range Of her pocket
book but bacon and eggs or corned beef
hash, and how could she have the moral
courage? An idea came TO her. She glanced
up at the immovable face of the waiter and
said huskily, Some cold chicken and cup
of coffee"
AS the waiter disappeared the woman
groomed the women fashionably dressed
The men looked pityingly at the woman;
the women glared at her. A woman at a
nearby table sneered something about
woman Of that type"
The unprotected woman bit her lip to
keep the tears back. The waiter brought
the tray and set the plate OF chicken and
the cup of coffee before her. The woman,
in her anxiety to get through, almost swal-
lowed the wishbone, and scalded her mouth
with the hot coffee The check was %
dollars, gathered up her belongings and
walked straight up the aisle.
More women, safe in the protection of male
companions glowered at her. There were
woman caught the reflection of herself il
daNned upon her why the women glared at
her. They could have forgiven her being
alone and having the audacity to be hungry,
and on a Sunday evening, at that, but
there were just a few things that they
couldn't overlook, and for which the woman
was in nowise responsible. She happened to
be young and decidedly good-looking, and
looked as well In her simple little tailor
made gown as many of the women looked
in their smart frocks.
1t never occurred TO these women that she
was a self-supporting and self-respecting
woman; that she had gone into the restau-
rant simply because she was hungry; that
she had no intention of flirting. although
she recognized in that throng the faces OF
q few men whom she saw daily in the cars
men who make a practice Of making
'goo-goo eyes at every good-looking
woman they meet.
The woman could understand the attitude
of the proportion of the restaurant. A
woman without escort is most unwel-
come. She occupies the entire table and as
the tables are all pressed into service this is
a serious drawback. Her order is generally
smaller than when she is accompanied by
a man, and the tip to the waiter is in
consequence not very large, hence that
worthy's Indifference.
