Woman Merchant
Amazes Chicago

the world over for its wealth
and progressiveness in that line. One
reason for this wonderment is that the
merchant in question is woman.
Mrs. Mollie Netcher, owner of one of
the largest department stores in the
country. is the woman who has caused
khis amazement, her latest strategic
move being the purchase of some
State street property, in the heart of
the Chicago shopping district for ST.
100000. This gives her nearly an en-
tire block of ground in that section,
which some day she intends shall be
crowned with huge building. While
accommodating the realty bit by bit
she is erecting the building piecemeal,
so that her business is not in the least
interfered with nor the final architec
tural symmetry spoiled by the delays
in acquisition.

Moreover, she has not delegated to

but attends to that herself. For half
dozen years she has run the store,
and her progress in that time is a refu-

alone has invested nearly $G000,000 in
downtown Chicago realty in the last
four years.
Prior to the death of her husband,
Charles Netcher, this woman had lit

BeaconsfieId the Dandy.

The dandyism Benjamin Disraeli af-

many pen pictures in Monypenny's
Life of Beaconsfield." At the age of
nineteen he is described as wearing a
black velvet suit with ruffies and black
stockings with red clocks. A later por-
trait. in 1880, comes from a friends
diary, which has the following entry:
March 29.-B. ID. to dine with me.
He came up Regent street when it was
crowded in his blue surtout, a pair of
military light blue trousers, black

When the Danes Were Skinned.

In former times the Danes used to
sail up the mouths of the English riv-
ers to pilage the churches. When
they were caught they were skinned
and their skins nailed to the door of
the church they attacked. In course
of time all the exposed portions would
peel off, but that covered by the nail
would be protected and thus bear tes-
timony to the cruelty of the ancient
Englishmen. In the London College
of Surgeons may be seen three speci-
mems of human skin bearing labels
such as this: Portion of human skin
said to be that of a Dane from the
door of a church at Hadstock, in Es-

hide have been found on doors in
