AssAIIlANT STILL AT LARGE.


 Police Believe that All of Nellie Shea's Statements About the Assault Are Not Correct. .
 The police have so far failed to To- cate the man who assaulted Nellie Shea late Tuesday evening, but expect to land their man in the near future. Ac- cording to the police the girl has told a number of conflicting stories and they believe it will be difficult matter to get her to identify her assailant. Yes terday morning Detective Ward brought in colored man who is em- ployed by the BIakeslee company, but the girl failed to identify him and he was allowed to go.
 One reason why the police doubt the girls word is the fact that right after the assault occurred she stated that she had been to Polls theater, and yes- terday morning the English girl and she claim to have been to a dance. When examined by Chief Wrinn, both the girls told different stories and they seemed to be somewhat confused in their statements.
 Another thing which seems peculiar to the police is the fact that when the Shea girl left her companion she took course which they believe was en- tirely out of the way. The police say they have some important clues on which they are working and hope to get the assailant in the near future.

INTERESTING MEETING

Of the Mission Work Auxiliary of the
 Presbyterian Church.
 A very interesting meeting of the mission work auxiliary of the Presby- terian church was held yesterday at Mrs. Menzie's home, 22 Bishop street, at which very interesting remarks were made by Mrs. Porter, for twenty years engaged in mission work in Japan, and who is residing in this city with her son, who is at Yaie. When Mrs Porter went to Japan twenty years ago she went 400 miles, into the interior, the journeying then being a very slow pro- cess, there being no railroads. She told many interesting things yesterday con- corning life and customs and Japan and the spread of Christianity there.

A Tale Told by Bret Harte.

A fellow named Walker, a weak,
irresolute creature, had tried a
score of things and had failed in all.
At last he took to 'the road and
tried to stop the mail. The driver,
however, laughed at him and drove
on.
The next day Harte, who had been
puzzled by the easy way the driver
had treated the circumstances, said
"Underville, why on earth didn't
you shoot Walker yesterday? You
could have done it easily"
SWELL" said the driver, in perfect
seriousness and without any thought
OF a joke, you see, the poor devil
has failed in everything, and if I'd

Haht a nest within three feet of the

a chimney. for usually it builds some
few feet DOWN where there is a bend
which keeps out the rain that would
soften the clue with which the nest
il held together.

to take a picture Of the nest, and,
this being such good chance, | did
so. much to the dislike of the birds,
which kept making swoops at me.
The nest of a chimney swift Is not
made. like that of most birds, of
hair. leaves or grass, but of small
twigs which the swift gathers while
fying and which are stuck together
with the birds saliva, which is gluti-

1t is very interesting to watch a

APPLES AND APPLICATION.
The Beginning Of One Of New Works
Big Js~elry Stores.

One Of the well known jewelry
shops N Broadway had ITS begin
ming in an apple basket IN the days
when New \ ork women shoppcd IN
Canal street and the lower end of
Central park was far in the country.
Men who had stalls in Washington
market and other men who went
there to do their marketing will re-
member comely young woman
who sat there day in and day out
with her apple basket, offering al
WAYS the best of apples for sale. Her
customers looked for her as regular
ly as one looks for daylight in the
morning, and she never failed them.
And ali the time the young woman
was putting aside in little box at
home the dollars she could save
from her few personal needs.
She was on friendly terms with all
the butchers and green grocers and
fruit sellers who had stalls IN the
market, and when they were tight
pressed for money they turned TO
the apple woman for help. Always
she was able from her savings TO
help them over their tight places for
a week or a month or six months.
But her friendship did not blind her
to her business opportunities. She
charged them for the money, and
not only this, but she always re-
quired security. AS often as not the
security was a watch or ring or a
scarfpin, and in course of time she
found herself with a goodly number
of articles of jewelry unrcdeemed.
These, to protect herself, she under
took to SELL To do this she quit the
apple basket and rented very small
shop and to her stock added few
new goods. Other customers came to
borrow money on their jewelry, and
in time she was running a full
fedged pawnshop. Gradually as she
prospered she did away with the
money lending and increased the
amount of new goods. And as hel
business grew she moved into large
quarters, and at the time of hel
death, not many years ago, she wa

TIE MAN BENT OVER HER RESPECTFULLY.

The mistress, therefore, told the
butler that she would not eat any
oysters and thus there would be just
enough to 20 around.
"The butler, when the oyster
course came, placed before the lady
one of the shells. To his horror she
did not decline it. Calmly she let it
rest before her. If she started to
eat it one guest would be short of
oysters. What was the matter with
her, anyway:
"The bu!lcr watched her nervous
ly. She took up her fork. She was
actually about to plunge it into the
dainty shell. Then the man, ever
alert and ready, flew to her side and
bent over her respectfully,

Scarce Silver Dollars.

Up to the present no 1905 dollars
have been coined by the mlnts, and
the chances are that only a few may
be struck. Their scarcity would in
a few wears boost the value of the
coins to collectors, just as the rarity
of 1904 dollars has made them
worth from 81 900 and upward, to
numismatists. One of the few 1901
dollars in existence is owned by
