Contract to Fay ou the Installment Pten,
and the Fair Sweetheart Never Know
AJwmt It An InteresUnje Talk "WH& a
Confidential Clerk.
" An engagement ring contracted for
pa the installment plan is now as coror
uon a business transaction as the fit
ting up of a boarding bouse on the same
easy payment plan. There are several
Now York jewelry firms which do a
prosperous business among prospective
bridegrooms ctt the credit system.
One of these is located on a promi
nent down town stret. Engagement
rings and wedding rings are here sold
on credit, the weekly payment being -.50
cents. . At this store the other .day a
bashful Tonus -man asked the chief
-dsrir- teVacnvfclin nrf3 rings suitable
to present to a young lady.
"Engagement ring, eh?" said the
clerk in a confidential undertone.
'Hero you are, sir, the very latest,
."orty-fivo dollars exquisite stone
r.-ivont in 10 innnfhn. Thin shell rinn'
in cur own design. Any girl would have
fits over it. See that dainty spiral
thread of gold about the setting? That
emphasizes the gem and makes it ap
pear worth more than it is. You can t
better yonreelf , sir. Pay cash and
you'll get a discount of $5. "
The young man seemed much im
pressed. He gave the measurement of
the little finger of his fair charmer and
left his name and references.
In his pocket as he went out he car
ried a stupendous contract printed in
red ink, which stipulated that "in case
of nonpayment according to the terms
of contract, etc., the riug must be forfeited."

NOTICE.
ITaving this day qualified as adminis-'
tra tor on the estate of John V. Ham,
all persons owing said estate' are re
quested to settle, and all who have
claims against said estate to present I
clerk in enswer to a question. "That
fellow represents a certain element Of
middlo class society. Most of the hard
working young men buy rings for their
sweethearts that way. The girls would
never-get any engagement ring at all if
the money had to be paid outright."
Another 6hy young man was ushered
in, and the clerk motioned him to a pri
vate room adjoining the main of3ce.
There they were closeted for several
minntes, and then the clerk emerged to
6eal a contract with the new customer.
The necessity of the private audience
room, it seems, is because financial em
barrassment, coupled with native modes
ty, prevents lovers in the first etago irora
divulging the terms upon which they
wish to pay for a ring. They prefer to
state their case unheard by any one ex
cept the head clerk, who, in the course
of his business, has cultivated a pro
found sympathy for the entire race of
sweethearts.
4 h, they tell some pathetic stories, ' '
said the clerk. "They let me into all
their secrets gratuitously. Une very
devoted young lover told mo the other
day that he earned $4 a week, but
couldn't get married until he had been
raised to 5. When advanced to this
position of opulence, he thought he could
afford to buy a diamond ring on install
ments of 50 cents a week.
"But it is in the case of lapses that I
hear the most pathetic tales. As a rule
our customers are straightforward and
honest. As long as a young man has
work we have no difficulty in getting
his money. When he loses his position, j
be usually lets us know, and then if I
the fellow is honest we ease up on him i
just a little." I
' ' But what if the girl and the ring dis- j
appear simultaneously?" be was asked.
"Oh, the young man always pays up,
and if the girl has thrown him over
you can bet he never tells any one
about it.
".There are lots of well to do young
men who spend $30 or $40 in a night
: for pleasure and who do business witn
' us becauso they prefer to regard jewel
' ry as a luxury atd pay for it on time
i "Here, for instance, is a ring made
to order for a broker down town," and
the clerk held up a diamond ring val-
ued at $250, which had been made to
fit the finger of some metropolitan belle
who may never know tho" terms of the
- contract."
"1 don't know of a single instance
wherea girl has had to forfeit her ring.
In case she bad a dishonest man or a
sneak for a lover the case would be
. rather embarrassing. But as a rub the
i blushing bride elect knows nothing
J about the installments, for our custom
; ers come promptly to the office and pay
, up every Saturday.
I " There are some cases where we have
to unbend a trifle, as, for instance,
where there has been a death in the
family. When a sad faced young fel
low - steps :into my ; private office and
tells me:onfidentially.that he has lost
his father and must help pay the f u
I neral expenses, or that ho has spent all
his available capital in celebrating
Thanksgiving or Fourth Of July the day
before, then he can usually count upon
the sympathy of the firm. 'V
"Of course we run great tisks, dux
size, 'xno wiaows oi puduc men, or
arniy and navy officers, of private ,citi---zens
in, all ranks of lifegravitate to
the Capital Ci,ty as the pleasantest place .
they know of to pass the autumn of life.
The -diplomatic corps comprises sever
al hundred more or less idle iid fashion
able men and women. Literary and
scientific men, especially those enjoying
incomes and independence from inherit
ed or other sources, are numerous in
J Washington. Always the city contains
tnousands or visitors attracted, by tne
peculiar interest which attaches to the
seat of government.
Is it any wonder that we have hero on
ease loving and an ease enjoying popu
lation? Are you surprised that Wash
ington laziness has become proverbial
throughout the country? Do you mar
vel that our streets and avenues aro rial-
toes in which comfortableness, fashion,
superficiality, even insincerity, are con
stantly displayed?
The street life of Washington is al
ways interesting. The good dressing
gives an air of elegance to the thorough
fares, which, with their famous shade
trees and pavements smooth and clean as
a floosr are themselves elegant. The
number of- noted men and beautiful
women to be seen in any given walk or
drive adds to the charm of the gpne.
The bicycles, numbered literally by thou
sands, add the spice of rapidity and
whirl to a picture that might otherwise
lack somewhat of action. Washington

Sue Wasn't III Wife.
The man got into a street car comfort
ably filled and crowded into a seat next
to a sharp faced woman in the corner.
He squeezed, her up against tho end of
tbe car, took out a newspaper, and shov
ing it half across her face began to
read. She stood it for about five min
utes.
"Excuse me," she said then, "are
you a married man?"
He dropped his paper and looked at
her.
"Yes," ho replied curtly.
"I thought so," she went on. "Ain't
your wife a little weman that wen t
6ay her sonl's her own and lets you im
pose on her all you want to? I suppose
she carries in the coal, builds tho fires,
gets your slippers, does the marketing,
mends your clothes, tends to tne chil
dren, submits like a lamb when yoa
find fault and ia generally an excellent
wife, ain't she?"

"Don't 6ay a word, " sbo interrupted.
"I'm not your wife, am 1?"
"No, and I'm"
"That's all right. And as I'm not
I don't propose to have you sitting down

"I suppose typewriters are very com

settled back in her favorite rocking
chair after dinner.
"Oh, yes," he said, "they're quite a
necessity in every line of business."
"You have one?" 6he asked.
"Yes, indeed," he replied as he has
tily looked over the evening paper. "I'd
feel lost without one. "
"Lightens your work, does it?"
"Lightens- it? Why, it makes it an
absolute pleasure. I wouldn't be with
out one for tbe world."
"Saves time, too, I suppose?"
"It makes it pass sorapdily that you
hardly notice it."
"How much does a good typewriter
cost, JphD?" .
"Oh, not much," he said absent
mindedly. "You can get a rattling
pretty one for $13 or $15 a week."

There Were Cabbac-"ftd Xaeea, bat tne
;-; Daoon Waa Only Borrowed.' "
- Aa the fortune of war bas favored his
larder, through some skillful foraging
of Ephraim, a negro, who was his faith
ful cook,". bodysciTsnt and": waiter"
three gentlemen in one General Lee
invited several ofUcersto dine with him
on Christmas day, 1864. The lucky
recipient cf the timely invitation were;
five in number, all officers of "distinc
tion, among thein Generals Ixmgstret '
Gordon and Kershaw. hoy were all.
en time when the dinner was csJJsd. It
was served on a rough pine table, .with
out a coveria General, Lea weather'
f eaten tent. . It consisted cf boiled cab-'
' bage, and eight or ten boiled iwect "po
tatoes and a dish of rice cocked dry.
Tho piece do resistance whifh Indeed
the knightly guests found it bard to
resist, was a smalls bit of fat bacon
about 3 inches 6qHarthat layjoa top of
tbe large cabbage. Now, batxn was as
rare iatbe Confederata camp at that
time as are roses on the northern hill
tops in December. You can imagine,
j therefore, tbe eelf restraint exercised
by each guest as they declined in turn a
slice of tbe delectable meat proffered
by their host, who held the carving knife
and fork ready to cut and help.
It was obseived that when the gen
eral, after helping to the cabbage, said
to the guest whose plate Ephraim held
out, "Allow me to help you to a slice
of the bacon ?" the devoted old servi
tor's hand trembled greatly. In fact,
he seemed to be in a state ol decided
fright. The high military rank of tb-j
i guests would lK.t account for bis trepi
dation, for be daily served near n mas
ter who outranked them all. There
was no splendor lett in tbe tracery of
faded gold-lace on their battlo ttuincd
uniforms to dazzlo bis eyes and cause
them to roll about arid glance from ba
con to guest, and from guest to bacon,
aa each answered tho half question with
the words, "No, thank yon, general."
Tho discomposure of the serving man
was all the more striking from its con
trast with the eerene, self poised dig
nity of his benign master.
Dinner over, tho general and his
guests retired from the tent, but as they
passed out General Lee turned and said
in a low tone, "Eghraim, we have an
other cabbage, have we not'r"
The answer was, "Yes. sab, Mass
Bob. Wc8 got annddcr -cabbage, sah."
"Then, Ephraim," 6aid tbe general.
"save the piece of bacon to cook with )
that cabbage." !
Tbe prompt and decisive reply, "No, )
! Bah, Mae's Bob, 1 can't do dot! I jis
j borrow dat piece of bacon for eeasoTiin J
! from a friend qber dar in Ricbinon. and
I done gib up my parole ob honor dat ,
I'll gib him back dat same bacon what J
I borrow." i
The general, who could not be a party 1
to any man's violation of bia parore of
, honor, consented at once to tho retnrn
j of the bacon that "had so successfully
: run the gantlet of six hungry diners.
; He must have reflected, too, on tbe ex
; tremity of his fortunes tbat led to the
; borrowing of a part of bis Christmas
dinner on the hard condition that it
: 6hould be returned untouched. His
New Year's dinner was ttill more mea
ger, I judge, from what he indicated to
General Grant next day.
A flag of truce had been sent into the
Confederate lines with an inquiry re
garding a Union officer who had been
wounded and taken prisoner, -end tbe
officer who bore it, after stating its ob
ject, said, "General Lee, 1 am diiecte
by General Grant to give you his com
pliments and to say that he is thor
oughly informed as to all your .move
ments, and even knows whet you had
for dinner yesterday."
General Lee took the pleasantry in
good part and answered, "Please, cap
tain, psesent my compliment j to Gen
eral Grant and 6ay that 1 must doubt
the correctness of his information, for
I know him to be a humane man, and
if he bad known v.hat 1 had for my
dinner ho would have sent mo a part of
his own. " Louisville Courier-Journal.

It ia like the ail en en of tbe tomb. Tbe
outside world seems already centuries
away. Tbe air ia cool and soothing.
and three Airing gas jets cast an intri
cate rombi cation of shadows upon tbe
massive masonry of the arches, says a
writer hi the Boston Herald, In describ
ing; the wine vaults under tho Boston
custom bouse.
After hundreds of years, when Bos
ton is only a hole In tho ground like tho
ancient cities in the Mediterranean,
some archaeologist will dig down
through the accumulated dast of cen
turies and find those hewn arches stand
ing aa they stand now.
And yet the whole substantial struc
ture is like the foolish man's bouae,
founded upon the sand and mud of Bos
ton harbor. Three thousand tall pine
trees stripped" of their limbs, were
driven down close together in the black
ooze to form o foundation for tbe build
ing. Theso piles would lait but a fow
short years in tho outer air, but sunk
in the harbor mud they are believed to
be as indestructible as the earth iiAclf.
When it was bnilt, the custom house
was upon tho water front, and even now
the cellar is below high water park,
yet there is no drier cellar on Beacon
hill. The builders seemed tp bavo been
the builders of pyramids and cata
combs reincarnate, and tbe work wa
done to stand after the builders them
selves were long forgott?n. Upon tbe
heads of the piles, in the forru vf a
Maltese eroes, was laid a capping of
gTanite in hydraulic cement. Around
it were built tho ruaseive walls of solid
granite 0 feet thick, which were to be
a protection againsl beat aud cold, fire
and water and all the elemtntJ. With
in these walla roso tbe puzzling scheme
of bturdy pillars ond arches which made
the cellar a maze of low roofed cham
bers, niche, crypts and paaangre.
When the visitor enters the basement
and storehouse, which is on tbe street
level, he feels instinctively conscious of
the huge pile of granite over his bead.
This floor, within the surrounding row
of offices, is used for tbe storage of
champagne and bottled wines. Tbe
cases, which hold two doz bottles, are
piled in regular tiera as high as the ceil
ing, and under tbe main entrance they
are packed in F.olidly. There are usually
between S.0C0 and 4.0U0 case, or over
40,000 bottlea, which if popped all at
onto would make tbe granite dome
tremble and might drown tne attend
ants in a foaming flood
When a consienment of rum, which
means anything from champagne to
brandy, is landed from a foreign vepeel,
tbe government orders it to be sent to
tno custom hcuao cellar. If co owner
appears to claim it, it Is kept for a year
and then is sold at auction to pay tbe
! dntiea and warehousing charges.
li the owner appears, bo can pay tbe
. dntiea and withdraw his liquor for im
; mediate consumption, or he can give
I bonds for the duties and keep bis stock
stored in tho government vaults until
j ho wifbes to withdraw It. The govern
i ment charges him storages according to
! tbe capacity of packages and allows
him to take it away by degrees at be
( needs it, paying duty only on tbe
amount withdrawn.
Very often an importation of wine
; and spirits may change hands several
; times while it lies in bond deep under
' the granite dome. In such caws it is
sold in bond, and tbe owner. Instead of
the importer, pays the duties and makes
the final entrv of tho merchandise.

A German horticultural journal is
responsible for this story about a bridal
bouquet: A certain schoolteacher in
the town of Konitz had ordered a bou
quet for his wedding day, stipulating
that it should cot' cost more than 4
marks ($1), but not designating what
kind of flowers should be selected. It
was in the autumn, when hothouse
flowers were few and dear, bo the flor
ist composed it of white dahlias, but
the bride and her family declaring that
these flowers were onfit for the purpose
the schoolteacher returned the bouquet
to its maker and refused to pay for it.
The florist then sued him, but the
position of the schoolmaster was sus
tained in court, in accordanco with the
testimony of experts in matters of taste
whom he had called in and who echoed
the opinion "of tho bride.
A similar result followed npen an
appeal to a higher court, despite' tho
testimony of experts now summoned by
the florist, anxl the florist waa ordered
to pay tho coats of the suit, amounting
to 800 marks.

An Exptsnxtloo From IMrmlL
Mr. Jnstin McCarthy, discoursing on
the bouse of commons, related a capital
story of Disraeli. It was during tbe
Ruseo-Turkish war, mid while relations
were very ttrained between England
and tbe czar a member was indiscreet
enough to put a question to Disraeli,
who was then prime minister, as to the
policy of the governmeut in tbe event of
the emperor of Russia doing a certain
act.
Members shuddered as Ditrraeli. with
a most funereal face, slowly advanced to
the table. Tbe question, be declared,
in a slow, measured voice, waa one of
such perilous moment that tho honor
able member acted most unwisely in
putting it on the paper, yet it was a
question of such importance that tbe
only course now open to the government
was to accept the inevitable and bold
ly answer. "If," declared Disraeli,
"the emperor takes this step, all I can
say is and I am speaking after a pro
longed consultation with my colleagues
the government will then give tbe
policy they are to pursue their very beat
consideration." Westminster Gaxette.

Croxawell and the Specter.
The stories of the "White Lady" that
periodically visits the German royal
family and of the "Little Red Man
that frequently paid his respects to the
great Napoleon, are tolerably well
known, especially that of the former.
But few perhaps are familiar witn tne
story of Cromwell's Giant Specter."
It appeared to him one night when he
was wide awake and quietly resting on
bis couch. In appearance the appari
tion was a woman of gigantic propor
