Schrader, the proprietress of a millinery store at 1915 Howard street, was | cheated out of two brand new hats last | night by two young men who cntered her | store on the pretense of purchasing a hat, *just to surprise mother,” as One | of them_ put it. The obliging milliner | showed the “‘good’’ young man one of the latest creation in feminine headgear. True to the instincts of a well-raised son, he examined the tower of nodding plumes and daintily shaded trimmings, pronounc- ing it just such an article as would com- pletely surprise and gratify mother. The “good” young man, however, suggested that he thought mother would prefer a black hat to the brown one selected, as it would be more becoming to her complexion. This suggestion was accepted by the “good” oung man who was so anxious to sur- prise mother. By thc way of a compro- mise it was suggested that two hats, a black and a brown one, be taken to the home of mother at 1715 Howard street. The obliging milliner, falling an easy vic- tim, handed out the two hats. The, ‘Williams, said he would return immedi- ately and pay the milllner's own price for the one selected by mother. From the story told to Captain Gillen at the Seventeenth-street station by Mrs. Schrader at 10 o'clock last night ft is a selection between the black and brown hats, for the "good” young man had not returned with either the hats or the equivalent. nquiry at 1715 Howard street revealed the cold fact to Mrs. Schrader that neither mother nor the “good” young man resided there. Consequently she loses two of her best hats, and must suffer the cha- grin of having been duped by two dapper young this — g, China and Its Government.

It has much that is good and much that is bad in its laws, but an attempt to completely overthrow the old system and inject a new in a day, as was made by the Em- peror recently, must end in failure. China will some day be on an equal footing with the rest of the world, but the process must be a slow one. —_—— Kearney Died at Home.
