Serious Cutting Scrape.

Last Friday night a serious, though not fatal cutting scrape occurred in front of the Winslow Lodging House, when Bremen w. $. Stanly pulled a knife and slashed Nick Ware on the hand and wrist in such a manner that it is thought Ware will lose the use of his thumb. Ma0nus ROsen- berg, in attempting to be peace maker, was the victim of a severe cutting, the fireman going after him with a vengeance. Magnus was cut on the face, on the back of the head and slaShed from the shoulder blade to the forearm, the flesh on his left arm being cut nearly to the bone.
 The injured men were hurried to their rooms and physicians called the wounds being prompt ly dressed. Each of the victims are now on the way to recovery though neither of them will be able to perform their ordinary duties for some time to come.
 The cause of the trouble hls not been definitely decided, but one story is that Stanley had been drinking during the evening and some remarks passed by Ware were resented by Stanley who drawing a knife slashed him.
 Stanley had preliminary ex- amina tion Monday and was bound over to the grand jury at the fall term of court his bond being fixed at $1OOO.OO which was promptly furnished by ]. N. Harper, John L. Pittman, and

Washington a
 Credit Town

Washington, D. c. Aug. 18.- It is almost impossible for a per son to get any sort of respectful attention in one of the larger Washington stores unless he has an account there. Of course, if one looks especially well grooned, 1t may make a differ ence, but the person not running an account is looked on as uude- sirable Several persons were discussing this a few days ago in Washington, and one lady de- clared that she had simply been driven into opening accounts al though she did not like to do 1t at all.
 "I have been earning my living for a good many years, she said, ''and d considerable portion of that time 1 have lived in Wash ington. tried to get along by paying cash, but 1 find 1 couldn't do it. The people who pay cash are not catered to at all. They are looked on much as If they were unable to get credit, and when 1 once asked to have a small purchase charged until the end of the month 1 was refused, although I had been a cash GUS toner of that house for years. 1 found that 1 almost had to run accounts, and finally succumbed although 1 believe 1 pay more that way, and 1 know 1 buy more because 1t IS easier and one does not always stop to consider how much the months bills will total"
 This helps to explain why there are so many banks in Washing ton, and why they have so many small depositors. It might be a good thing fit encouraged thrift but Very many of these deposi- tors carry their accounts merely to impress the merchants they are doing business with, paying sums even less than one dollar by check. The consequence Is that there are so many bad debts, and prices of merchandise are higher than one must pay in most other cities in order to re. coup the dealers for those who do not pay.
