The handsomest suits of ready made clothes can be found at Elson's. The flyer, which was due here at 5:10 this morning, was about four hours and a half late. .-'"' ElsonTicone price clothier, has the moBtotnulcte stock of ready-made ytfUg All 111V V1VJ. -The entire paint force of the shops took a " lay off " this afternoon for the purpose of seeing the base ball match be tween the Plattsmouth and IJcatrice teams. Yesterday the Jewish New Year was celebrated in this city and several of the business houses were closed all day. In ten days from yesterday another celebra tion will be held. Any one having houses to rent should advertise them in the IlEitAi.D.for the way the city is improving we predict there will not be a vacant house in the city after October 1. The Young People's Christian En deavor have selected for the subject of their meeting, on Monday, Sept. 10th, " Seek," John 18-4. Their meetings are being well attended. There is a demand for houses of five and six rooms to rent. To a person with meens it would be a profitable invest ment to build fifteen or twenty cottages. They could be rented before they could be completed. The following ball players who reg istered at the Itiddle House this morning, compose tl.e Beatrice base ball club, which plays the Plattsmouth team this afternoon on their grounds west of the city: Messrs. Harry K. Henkson, Mert Thrift, Jim Dallas, F. "Weaver, Sam Poole, J. Doud, E. Dc&rson, O. Lcnhart Gear, Tom Full on. Abbey. Messrs. A. O. Arnold and S. P. Xewcomb, of Mumestoii, la., arrived in the city this morning. Mr. Newcomb, we are pleased to learn, is in the city making arrangements to open up business in the corner store room of the Anheuser Busch building, about the handsomest room for a business in the city. The stock will consist of gents furnishing and ready-made clothing. Arrangements for the special train have been made, so that those who wisli to witness the seige of Sebastopol at Oai hha, and who are unable to go and re main oyer night for that purpose, will have au opportunity to go and return the same night. The date has not been decided on yet, but it is supposed it will run the fore part of next week. The fare will be reduced to about one half the regular rate. The Beatrice base ball club arrived this morning on the 9:4." train. They play this afternoon with the home team on the ball jrrouiuls west of the city. A purse of $200 has been raised between the two clubs. As the Beatrice club is the champion club of the State, our boys expect to have a hard tussel, but if they win the money it will be a feather in their caps, and il the visiting club se cures this prize they will be obliged to play ball to the best of their ability, as the home leiui is in good condition and they are all determined on securing the money. Mr. Frank Dickson, who was em ployed by County Clerk Bird Critchfield, in making out the tax list for this year, compl-.-tes his svork today. Mr. Critch field informs us that he has given perfect satisfaction in every particular and de serves great credit for the neatness and correctness of his work. Monday morn ing he will accept a position in the office of W. II. Pool, recorder of deeds, where lie will work for about one month, after which lie intends to leave the city and go farther west. "We will be sorry to lose as genial a young man as Mr. Dick son, and we trust tint some young lady of this city may throw out an influence which will be the me ins of prolonging his stay. The entire stock of the firm of Solo mon & Nathan lias been removed from their store room on Main street to their new store at Fairmont. Mr. Jas. Findly, who has managed the business affairs of the firm here for some time leaves next Monday to take charge of their business at that place. Wc regret being obliged to bear the loss of as many good citizens as the removal of the business will effec tuate. The firm has been in existence here for several years, and during our business life in the city, we know of no charge which could be brought against them in any of their business transactions. As the citizens of this place have always extended to them a liberal patronage, we do not believe they can improve their business by removing it; however, our best wishes go with them and maWuccess fail to their lot in their new fisYl . of PERSON AL8.

This great play will be produced at the Waterman opera house tomorrow (Saturday) niht. The reserved seat tickets are now selling rapidly at J. P. Young's. The following is a commen dation clipped from a prominent eastern paper; "From the rise to the fall of the cur? tain, at the Lee Avenue Theatre last evening, was one of the most animated scenes ever witnessed in that place of amusement. To say the aud:ence was wild with excitement was no figure of speech, for nev--r before had such a de monstrative audience asseinbled inside a theatre. The occasion was the produc tion of the "World" by J. Z. Little and an intelligent company of actors. The " World is to well known to need com ment, suffice it to say that all the original scenes were produced and nothing omit ted, something remarkable for an attrac fon a-i old as the "Wold." Mr. Morris, the manager, informs us that his stage machinist has just perfected patents, so that all the scenery used here can be car tied and produced through the provinces, and on a scale of magnificence equal to its production here. Heretofore thjs "Wnr d has been solely a metropolitan production, and we may safely say if might live here forever, but manager Morris is determined to spread his popu larity and guaiantees to produce all the sienes the same as at the Lee Avenue The tre; whercyer his company appears, to do this it neccessitates the carrying of two si ts of scenery, each set made to telescope, so that after viewing the models which were kit:lly shpwn us by the theatrical magnate, we are impressed with the fact that Mr. Morris can pro duce every scene of this beautiful and wonderful play on a piano box as clearly as he does on our large stage, we have no doubt but that the raft and sinking ship, and other mechanical scenes will find as many admirers in the provinces as it ha9 in Tsew York and Brooklyn. - Reserved seats are now on sale at J. P. Young's for 75 cents, and they are going fast. It is thought the opera house will be crowded. Piano and Organ Tuning, E$Cr Notice to the Mcsipai. Public: G. B. Kempster begs to remipd the residents of Plnttsmouth and vicinity that haying made his home here, he is here to stay, and is confident that, having proved himself a trained and competent tuner, the residents will support a fellow citizen, and they can rely upon the lowest charges consistent with good workmanship, and being resident can always be held re sponsible for same.

Young, who receives or. ders for me clone, having no connections with any other tuner. Card of Thanks.

Americans Host Mercilessly Swindled. "What It Costs to Eat at m First Class Paris Restaurant Tricks of Guides and Walters The Charge. "Making a precarious living by taking In each other's washing." This was one of Grenville Murray's jokes, which -he applied to any village or town, the inhabitants of which had not any visible means of subsist, ence. Something of the same kind of senti ment was echoed in a remark made by an American on the boulevard here a day or two ago. "Everybody in Paris seems to live by making a commission out of somebody else." The man had been some weeks in Paris, had been fleeced right and left, spend ing a lot of money and seeing very little an-1 getting less for it. "Paris is a regular fraud," he said. "You want us Americans to come over here and teach you what civilization really is." The speaker was a practical busi ness man, as acute as a razor, a self made man and an inventor. Yet, in spite of all his smartness and his most business like habits, he had "got left" in Paris. The fact is that Americans who come to Paris and don't know the ropes do get most mercilessly swindled. Fully 60 per cent, of the large sums spent by Americans in this city brings no return In value of any sort or kind. Many leave Paris indignantly and vow never to set foot in it again. Like the gentle man quoted, they set Paris down as a "regu lar fraud." This is a pity, because it is hard lines on a man who comes to a city for a change and a holiday to be sent away with his temper spoiled, and all tfie more so that with a little precaution he could easily avoid the harpies who infest Paris perhaps more than any other continental city, Including Naples. GUIDES AND COURIERS. Much good money is wasted on guides and couriers. The regulation fee for the services of these Is $3 a day and a raeaL Very few, however, content themselves with such a salary. It is to the extras that they look for their profits. Thus it ia very usual at meal times for the courier to take his client to an expensive restaurant. His client can't speak French, wants to sample French cookery aud bids his guide order. The guide orders every thing that he likes and what is most expen sive. If his client has not the same tastes as he, so much the worse for him. When the bill has been paid the courier pockets the document and will call in the evening to get 20 per cent, commission. The American I have referred to bad in this way been taken to all the best restaurants in Paris and had spent on himself and his guide what would suffice to keep a French peasant and his family for a year. At one house, which is noted for its good cookery and the moderateness of its prices, ho had. paid $107 for a breakfast which he had been unable to eat. Elsewhere he had spent $40 on a dinner which he valued at eventy-five cents. To convince him that one can dine well and cheaply in Paris, I took him to a restau rant I frequent, consulted his tastes, and gave him a dinner which cost me for the two of us just SL40. He said he had not dined so well since ho had. been in Paris. There i$ absolutely no necessity to take one's guide to lunch or dinner, and if visitors would remember this they would save much money and fare very much better. In. every good restaurant in Paris there are. waiters who can speak English to translate the items on the. bill of fare. SHOULD. B A VOIDER, Much annoyance would also be saved to visitors who dine at the restaurants if they would avoid visiting houses where the prices of dishes are not marked on the bills of fare. At such houses the amount of the bill de pends on the appearance of squeezeability or otherwise of the customer. The very cele brated houses should be strictly abided by the Ameripan visitor, unless he is accom panied by a habitue. Barring thp pleasure of a tickled vanity, there is scant profit in paying $50. for a dinner barely worth $5," It should alsq be remembered that prices of dishes are for quantities sufficient for wo persons at all $he better restaurants. Items not narjeed on the bill of fare which may be offered by the waiters should, be Jeffc un touched. Two. pr three prawns on, a plate, a few olives ftii anqther, and such kickshaws, will, if touched, bring the bil up, 25 per cem. Waite.rs are in the habit of putting these ofl the table without being ordered tq do. bq. In the matter, pf changa visitors should be Very careful. Certain moneys which have no legal' currency in France are invariably at certain establishments offered to f oreign ers in change for good money. It should be noted that the only moneys current in France besides French coins are those pvf Jtalyjl Greece, Switeria.d and Belgium. Russian," and Austrian, gold is also currency. Rou manian, Spanish, and South American coir should inyariably be refused. They ci,n only be disposed, of at a loss pf per. cemV The coins, of thai late Papal starts can be passed at nominal yahe, tut should be avoided If possible. In ordering goods made to measure such as ladies' or gentleman's clothes, a written con tract should be made, otherwise the amount charged will very probably be doubled on the bill. The tradesman, if payment is refused, has the right to have the visitor's trunks, seized aud to prevent him from leaving Paris, Tickets for theatres should never W bought at any of the theatrical agencies in the city. These charge about double, the right prices. Visitors ean always procure tickets at the booking offices, of he theatres in advance. These are a few indications of how to avoid being swindled in Paris, and if people would observe them one would hear lesa complaints from visitors. There $3 po city, perhaps, in the world where so much pleasure can be got for aa little money as in Paris, but in no city either is the systematic swindling of foreign ers, and especially of Americans, more ex tensively carried out. R. H. Sherard in New York World. A Good hq4 Pretty House, q the business, bustle and brick of a city we need to gather all the ideas of structure, within reach and pluck from our mind3 the dreary wooden box conception of a habita tion and make that one spot we call our home just as beautiful as artistic training and the length of our purses can make it. We have but one earth life to live, and the quality of the home settles the quality of that life. A shower of brown cottages let fall upon a breezy greensward and under the shadows of spreading trees may each contain more hap piness and contentment than are within the reach of the dwellers in. as many lovely palaces frescoed by immortal names. Nor is it necessary that the man who has a bouse built shall have all the technical skill of an architect or a builder. He may know in stinctively when he has a good and pretty boose, just as h may tell a good painting without having an expert artist's incisive knowledge of the chemistry of colon.
