Dr. Frederick nierhoff, a physician with a large practice and one ot the consulting staff of tho German dis pensary, was followed from his of fice by a former woman patient, who fired five shots at him at tho corner of Fifty-ninth Street and Madison Avenue. Two of these shots struck tho doctor, one In tho left shoulder and the other In the right arm. One of tho other bullets struck Otto H. Droege, a lawyer of 61 Park Row, and another hit Paul Sheehan, a Co lumbia University student. The fifth bullet went wild. The woman who did the Bhootlng Is Ottilia Schneider.

Wholesale business Is main taining a much better movement thnn last year, and further Improvements Is noted In collections. From the leading manufacturing plants come reports of full employment of ma chinery, yet deliveries are much less prompt than deBlred and Inadequate railway facilities receive a largo Bhare of the blame. Producers of cotton goods are un able to make deliveries according to agreement, delays causing serious complaints from buyers.

A gymnastic Instructor who had retired from the army gave boxing lessons now and then to eke out his pension. He was a good master, but it required no little fortitude to be his pupil. A youtv; man once arranged for a course of 10 lessons. At the end of the second, when he was feeling "done," the pupil said he thought he had had enough. "Enough?" said tho Instructor in astonishment. "Why, you haven't learned " "I know," the young man Inter rupted. "But I'll tell you how It Is, Mr. M. There's a fellow I dlsliko, and I arranged to come to you so s to beat him In a fight. But on second thought I have decided It will be just as well to send him down here to you to take the rest of the lessons." From Tit-Bits. We knew the dead man off and on for 30 years. He was always a would-be bad man, although in later years as a peace officer ho had to hold in check his naturally villain ous disposition, but just how he es caped the killer's bullet or the peni tentiary so many years we can't Just figure out. He was never a gun fighter, but ns a rough-tumlile scrap per he was hard to beat. He would gouge and bite, and he always car ried brass knucks and a shot billy, so in making a gun piny and Rotting killed he simply got his a little later In life than those of us who knew him best expected.

"At nil times and to all people 1 am willing to testify to tho merit of Cuti eura. It saved me from worse chan the torture of bades, about the year 1000, with itching on my acalp and temples, and af terwards it commenced to break out on my bands. Then it broke out on my limbs. I then went to a surgeon, whose treat ment did me no good, but rather aggra vated the disease. 1 'then told bim 1 would go and see a physician in Erie, Tho reply was that 1 could go anywhere, bwt a case of eczema like mine could not be cured; that 1 wns too old (80). 1 went to an eminent doctor in the city of Erie and treated with him for six months, with like results. 1 had read of the Cuticura Remedies, and so 1 sent for the Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent, and con tinued taking the Resolvent until 1 bad taken six bottles, stopping it to take the Pills. 1 was now getting better. 1 took two baths a day, and at night 1 let the lather of the Soap dry on. 1 used the Ointment with great effect After washing in warm water, to stop the itching at once. I am now cured. The Cuticura treatment is a blessing, and should be used by every one who baa itching of the skin. 1 can't say any more, and thank God that He has given the world such a curative.

The pay of midshipmen was fixed ;n November, 1775, at $12 a calendar mouth, which was the precise allow ance made to the ship's cook. They had the distinction, however, ot be ing the only grade of officers whose yap did not vary according to tho rate of the vessel In which they served. We are unable to say It there was any significance in placing the midshipman in the pay table ot November 15, 1776, between the surgeon and gunner probably they would have felt more at home be tween the purser and boatswain, whom they received monthly nmtnclul comfort and dally practical aid in "learning the ropes." However this may be, It cannot be doubted that the midshipman ot the Revolution was a dazzling creature If he ever wore the first continental uniform prescribed for his grade by the regulations of the Marine Com mittee of 1776 tit Philadelphia, which consisted of a blue lapeled coat with Btand-up collar,1 round cuffs faced with red, buttons and buttonholes red, blue breches and red walstcoast. No mention Is made of tbo headgear, but it was probably In harmony with 'this fiery uniform. Indicative per- baps of the bloody struggle then com , menced, and far ecjlpsing the uniform of King George's reefers.

Miss Blatch's appointment was not duo to any pull, but was made on merit. Miss Blatch Is an unusually pretty young woman, athletic, active and fond ot outdoor life. She distin guiHhed herself two years ago, while a senior at Cornell, by swimming Cayuga lake, a distance of 2 V miles. The feat was an easy one for her, and her friends declared at the time sho could have swum the entire dis tance back. She decided to follow engineering on entering college, and applied for membership in the American Society of Civil Engineers. She was admitted recently, being the first woman ever received into that organization. Sho is tho daughter of Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch, a noted New York club-woman and lecturer, and a daughter of Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Mrs. Blatch lived in England for 14 years. From her mother she received training 'In keeping with the Ideals advocated by Mrs. Stanton, and she believed that woman was Intended to play a more Important and useful part In the Bcheme of civilization than she does at present. Mins Blatch, when seen recently, said: "I believe sincerely In tho in tellectual equality of men and wom en, and, since I personally have not boon so fortunate as io do anything that would have been remarked had I been a man, I strongly object to any notice being taken of what I have done.

NEW YEAR'S CALLS A Now Drink to Replace the Old Time "Apple-Jack." Twenty-five years ago the custom of making New Year's calls was a de lightful one for all concerned, until some of the boys got more "egg-nog" or "apple-Jack" than they could suc cessfully carry. Then the ladles tried to be charita ble and the gentlemen tried to be as chivalrous as ever and stand up at the same time. If anyone thinks there has not been considerable improvement made In the last quarter ot a century in the use ot alcoholic beverages, let him stop to consider, ami Jg other things, the fact that the old cuBtom of New Year's calls and the genteel tippling Is nearly obsolete. The custom of calling on one's friends, however, at tho beginning ot the new year, Is a good habit, and another good babtt to start at that time Is the use ot well-made Postum Instead of coffee or spirits. A Staten Island doctor has a sensi ble daughter who has set Poutum be fore her guests as a good thing to drink at Yule Tide, and a good way to begin the New Year, Her father writes: "My daughter and I have used Postum for norde time paBt and wt feel aure It contains wholnsome food material. "I shall not only recommend It to my patients, but my daughter will be most pleased to give a demonstration of Postum to our Christmas aod New Year's callers." Read "The Road to Wellvllle," in pgks. "There'j a reason.". frt" w wt TT a r a ulTC AaA There are two classes of remedies; those of known qnal Ity and which are permanently beneficial in effect, acting gently, lii harmony with nature, when nature needs assist ance; and another class, composed of preparations of nnknown, uncertain and inferior character, acting tempo rarily, but injuriously, as a result of forcing tho natural functions unnecessarily. One of the most oxceptloniil of the remedies of known quality and excellence is the ever pleasant Syrup of Fit's, manufactured by the California Flgr Pyrnp Co., which represents the activo principles of plants, known to act most beneficially, in a pleasant syrup, in which the wholesome Californlnn blue llgs are used to con tribula their rich, yet delicate, fruity flavor. It is the remedy of all remedies to sweeten and refresh and cleanso the system jrently and naturally, and to assist ono In overcoming consti pation and the many Ills resulting therefrom. Its active princi ples and quality are known to physicians (renerally, and the remedy has therefore met with tlieir approval, as well as with the favor of mnny millions of well informed persons who know of their own personal knowledge and from actnal experience that It Is a most excellent laxative remedy. We do not claim that it will cure all manner of ills, but recommend it for what it really represents, a laxative remedy of known quality and excellence, containing- nothing- of an objectionable or injurious character. There are two classes of purchasers; those who nro informed as to the quality of what they buy and tho reasons for tlto excellence of articles of exceptional merit, and who do not luck courng-e to go elsewhere when a denier oilers an imitation of any well knowu article; but, unfortunately, there are some people who do not know, and who allow themselves to be imposed upon. They cannot expect its benefleiul effects if they do not get the Rcnuino remedy. To the credit of the dru?frlsts of the United States be it said that nearly all of them value their reputation for professional integrity and the good will of their Imitations of the Genuine Syrup of Figs manufactured by the California Flff Syrup Co., and in order to buy the genuine article and to get its beneficial effects, one lias only to note, when purchasing, the full name of tho Company California Fig Syrup Co. plainly printed on the front of every package.
