The clothing salesmen of the city met last evening in Mel/'t ) hail and bonded themselves into an organization to lie known as the Omaha Clothing Sales men's association. Tlio object is for the promotion of salesmen and employes , and the purpose of friendly intercourse and mutual improvement and profit. There were probably fifty representatives of the different houses in attendance and a por- roancnt organization was ollbctrd by the election ot Mr. Hudson , of the Misfit clothing parlors , president ; Mr. Meyers , of M.

After the appointment of committees and the performance of some miscellaneous business tlio usssocl- ation adjourned to meet next Tuesday evening at the same place. Again Attacklnc Scnrcy. It Is understood that the Republican will make another bitter attack on Chief of Police Soavey. Leastwise that was the tip going around among t'jo coterie of choice spirits which are in sympathy with the warfare upon the chief and tlio police commission. Last night ncmbors of "do gang" were chuckling n the Farnam street resort about the at- ack which they said was to appear , and n beery enthusiasm gave it away to persons in the vicinity. It is probable hero is as much in the latc.st onslaught us there has been in trio previous attacks upon Seavoy the vnporings of n mind excited by too conlous draughts of cool and foaming lager. A. Very Small Sensation. A morning contemporary with sonsa- ional proclivities , behoves it has un earthed a great gang of organized rob- jurs , Including people in Omaha who mve been held In great favor. The po- ice rather smile nt the story nnd arc of , ho opinion that it emanates from the > rain ot an over-zualous reporter. It is quite probable that the story has little bundation in fact , and is of that charac ter knowa in newspaper uarlanco as a fake. " A HOUND UP. Iho Police Gather in Disreputable Females.

At 8 o'clocli there had been twenty arrested , witii others still to hoar from. They wort made up of the very lowest of their class and were delinquent on their lines. The station was made hideous by tlio ribald jests of the females , each succeeding ar rival being greeted by a chorus civile females voicing the coarse reception Several were released by order of tin chief on depositing $10 bail for appear ance before the judge this morning.

SOCIETY 171 CHINA. Homo Very Curious Cuntoms of the Qucnr Cclostlaln. From the Good Housekeeper : The highest ambition of a Chinese contleman is to have a nice coflin and a line funeral writes Wong Chin Foo. Old women instead of young nro the idols of society. Love making is only done three days before marriauo. It is not only consid ered the safest way to got ahead of a rival , but the surest way to get a wife without losing much time. A previous acquaintanceship between the mule and female prevents them from marriage. For this reason a man seldom weds a girl trom his own town. A man could borrow money on the strength of having a son , but no ono would advance him a cent if ho iiad a dozen doughtcrs. The former is resnon- siblo for the debts ot his father for three generations. The latter is only responsi ble for the debts of her own husband. When n Chinaman moots another ho shakes and squeezes his own hands ; covers his head. If great friends had not seen cacli other for a long time , after the mutual hand-shaking they would rub shoulders until they become tired. In stead of asking each other's health , they would say. "Havo you eaten your rice ? Where are you going ? \Vhat is your business when you got there ? How old are you , and how much did you pay for your shoes ? " Men wear long petticoats and carry fans , while the women wear short jackets and carry canes. Heats are drawn by carriages ; carnages moved by sails. Old men play ball and fly kites , while children fould their arms and look on. If a Chinaman desires the death of an enemy ho goes and hangs himself upon his neighbor's door. It is a sure cure , to kill , not only that particular enemy , but members of his entire family will uo in jeopardy of losing their lives. When a Chinaman desires a visitor tc dmo with him ho does not ask bun to dose so , but when ho docs not wisli him to stay ho puts the question : "Oh , please stay and dine with mo ! " Tiiovisitor will then know ho is not wanted. A rich man's servant gets { no salary , yet many are the applicants ; while bic salaries are paid to the servants of the common people , but few rrmko applica tion. The perquisites of the former often more tiian triple the salaries of the latter and are the sole reasons of these differ ences. When n Chinaman cxnccts n present , nnd it docs not come , ho sends ouo oi lessor value. To encourage honesty and sincerity , confidential clerks and salesmen in nil branches of industries , receive an annual not percentage of the linn's business , besides - sides their regular salary. Electric Railways. Now York Evening Post , July 11 ; Within the last fortnight nearly a dozer now electric railways have either been opened to tlio public or actually under taken by th6 contractors. Some weeks ago the Evening Post printed a list ol fourteen electric railwavs then in opera tion in this country. Tlio now roads nol mentioned in this list are : Newport , Ky. , the road changing from horse tt electricity ; Fidluy , O. , now building n four mile road ; Lakeside , O. , three miles Mansfield , O. , tour and n half miles , oiHinod to the public on the 4to of July Port Huron , Mich. , changed from horses to electricity ; San Francisco , Folsom street line , three miles ; St. Paul , Minn , two miles , opened on tno 4th of July ; St Joseph , Mo. , twenty cars , to be ready bo tore winter ; Worchestor , Mass , , Lake Quinslgamond lload , four miles , changed from steam to electricity ; Alleghany.Pii. , four miles , to bo rcadv on the 1st of Ou tober , Asbury Park. N. J. , three miles and fifteen cars ; Birmingham , Ala. , twc miles ; Jamaica to Brooklyn , ton cars Lima , O. , three miles ; St. Catharine's Ont. , two mites. Counting in the Fulton street line ii this city , which is to bo ready some time this autumn , there will bo nearly fortj electric railways running before wintei in this country. Every ono of the si ? manufacturing firms which maKe r specialty of this work is overwhelmed with ordorj , and it is merely a questioi of how fast the new cars can bo turned out. At Ansonia , Conn. , the electric cur rent for running the cars is drawn fron water power. During the last inontl cleotric railways have been visited b ] scores of exports in the interest of horse railroad companies , whoso director ; wisli to know something dohnito abou the now systems. During the month ni accidents have boon reported , aud tin figures an to cost still Ahow a dccldct saving in the use of electricity as com pared to horso-powor. The Scrantoi company , with its small line , reports tha it has carried 10,000 people in the las month , and has ordered two more mo tors. tors.An Interesting addition to the ndvnn tagcs of electric cars over horse cars ma ; bo the heating of the cars by clectricitj An electric hcator which has just booi patented for use on surface curs consist of a plate of lire clay through which rui the wires. When the current acts , tlii plate becomes sufficiently hot to heat th car. For surface cars the size of ou New York street cars , the plates ar twelve foot long , eight inches wide an ono inch thick. In the experiment already made two ot these heaters hav been used in each car , and i is found that iu half an hou after the current began parsing th plates wore giving out sullicient heal und had attained a temperature of 18 degrees.

Attracts Attention ana Itcnsons Abo'at It A "Weep- ItiR Multlan Consoled Other0Cc.rson9. Now York WortflYcstordny was a dark , red-letter day for Coney Island. The morning was gorgeous , and along about 1 o'clock a heavy shower raised the lake so that bathing was good all the rest of the day. A great many people wont down there to rest and see how much they could lift. I notice thnt people who go away on au excursion for rest most always look moro rested when they go away than when they come back. At Coney Island a creat many labor ing people get rested by seeing how much they can strike at live cents per strike , lou can got anything there al most for five cents a sandwich , a glass of beer , a slice of watermelon , a ridu on the Brighton stage , a whack at the strength tester , or anything almost that heart can wish , from a breczo to a bil ious colio , from a flexible sandwich to a strangulated hernia. It iiflbrdud me muck pleasure to watch the bathers pump up and down in the dark blue sea aud spatter each other with water. Beauty was not very plenty yesterday on the beach. Aside from n tall , reddish gentleman from this city , whoso name ought to bo Esau , anil who hau moss on the north side of his limbs , there were few fine-looking men , and so when I went in it attracted gen oral atten tion. The ladies were mostly of a uni form style of beauty , but not wildly beau tiful at the time I was in. I heard that the best looking onus waited , however , until I had go no homo. Bathing costumes seem to bo similar this year to what they have always been. In stockings jou occasionally see a pair in odd shades like b.ib.v elephants' breather or smothered shrimp pink , with em broidered soft-shell crabs on them , but they are mostly black. The oddest thing I saw in stockings yesterday , I think , was an artiticial foot. They are still using the same hacks at Coney Island that were otfercd to Wash ington in which o cross the Delaware. Ho , however , decided to skate across , for these hacks were very old even at thnt timo. The "Wild \ \ oman of the Cat kills" is still ou exhibition at tbo museum. Girls who are a little inclined to bo wild will do well to see her. 'tyey would uover bo wild any moro. | I then uathed. I feel quite proud of my suit , because it docs not bag at the knees. This. I presume , is because the capacity of a bathing-suit for bagging is comparatively liirfltcfd , and as mine ecems to bag everywhere else , it cannot find , time to bag at ( .he , knees. Leaving my clothes , , my conscientious scruples and my tccihfm charge of my valet , I madly waded out to meet my doom. If I had be oil going out to meet anybody else but a moist doom 1 would have dressed differently. I heard several low , wealthy people soy , "Get onto the gun-wiper going out to monkey with the tide. " One gloriousildoking being , with her bathing trousers rolled up at the bottom tom so that they could not get wet , said , in a tinkling voice : "Thoro is a man who ought to have a sinker tied to him. lie will never drown , but if a land breeze springs up pretty strong ho will drift a long way out to sea. " I did not tell her that it was mv inten tion to drift out to see , because 1 was not acquainted with her , but that was really what I drifted out for. After 1 had inhaled ail the salt water that 1 thought was good for mo 1 retired from the surf. I then dressed myself ami strolled along the strand. There is no charge for strolling along the strand. The poorest man in Now "York , armed with a largo , warty club to keep oA' the bunko men , may stroll along the strand with perfect safety. Presently I came upon a young woman who was sitting by herself , gazing out to sea and weeping. At first 1 thought she was crying because some ono had stolen her clothes while she was in the surf , but I soon saw that I was wrong. She had her bathing suit on aud was sobbing and stabbing largo holes in the Band with her toes. "Pardon mo , " i said , with the air of a man of the world , "has your train gene away and loft you.or have you swallowed ono end of a breaker , as I did ? " "Please do not make game of me , sir , " she said , at the same time shrinking back , "it is nothing that could in the least inter est you. Go away. " "No , " said I , huskily , "I cannot go away until the next boat aud I would bo tickled almost to dcjath if I could partici pate in your sorrow. I have no card with mo , but I am connected with the press and it would bo bettor to give tlio story to mo and let mo got your oxaot language than to have it garbled by the ether papers. Whore do you reside ? " "I reside at present in Now York , " she said gulping down a sob three sizes too largo for Her , "and I am utterly alone. " "Well , why don't you girls in Now York who are utterly alone have a re union this summer vt the Polo Grounds ? I have not been in Now York very long , but smco I've been there it seems to mo that you and the other utterly lonely girls have taken the town. What brought you to Now York may I ask ? " "i caino there to obtain employment , and it is all so strange and so harsh and HO heartless thoro. " She then took oil' her oilskin bonnet r.nd wept it almost full. full."What kind of work had you boon ac customed to } " i < i "Well , I had not doup anything , but had a good general education and could take notes in shorthtmd'if a man would not talk too fast. I could also soon learn to operate a typo writer.1 think. "You had read In the papers , then , about the young wopia i who came to Now York and.aftcr playing on the tjno- writer for six months in the ollico of a wealthy widower , married him ? " "Yea , I had read thutv'but 1 did not ex pect to do it myself. " "I am glad you did not , for you would have been disappoint , perhaps. The opportunities for a young woman , to ob tain a situation in tho.onico of a middle- aged capitalist whosewifo is consumptive and trying to draw M A hectio Hush arc getting to be rare , and though you might win the esteem of such a one and lull him to rest by knocking a few low , throb bing notes out of your typewriter , yet 1 would advise you not to depend ou lind < ing such a situation as thnt. " "Thon what would bo your advice ? " "You say you never stenographed vcrj much ? " "No , but I studied it at school and car make all the characters after I think i little whilo. " ' 'You think you could take down it shorthand the address of a deliberate talker his postotlico address , I mean ? ' "Oh , now you are guying mo. O course 1 cannot write shorthand vcn fast , but I would bo willing to learn. " "What salary would you expect whllt learning ) ! " "Oh , 1 would not demand a largo sal ary at Hrst , but I would try , oh , aa hard to learn rapidly. " "You never tripd other work , did you stlch as plastering , piloting on a atcnm- joat , train dispatcher. Hoiitaml jR , sur veying , butchering. piano-tuninc > pugil ism , searching for the north pole , sing ing bass in a minstrel company , catching elephants for the trade , breaking on n passenger train , acting as the foreman of n grand jury , breaking colts , dealing tnro , grinding scissors , jumping oil' tlio Brooklyn bridge , selling lightning-rods , running for sheriff , temlinir bar , robbing rains , lumbering , chiropodmng or shoemaking - making ? " "No , sir , I couldn't do any of those. " "Then , if I were you , I would go homo. I would abandon Now York to its fate und return to my parents. There you might teach school next winter , perhaps , and do well. "With your knowledge of stenography you might successfully teach it , no ; loubt , but you could not practice it. A business man who was in n hurry would hesitate about employing you if lin thought you would have to go to the bottom of your trunk for your book every time you struck n hard word. " Happening to look down to the pier at that instant 1 saw that my steamer was impatiently waiting for mo , and so , bid ding my unknown friend adieu , after telling her to bo careful not to breathe any of tlio night air , which is so preval ent nt Coney Island this veur , I touched my hat , with a well-bred air that would liavo fooled most any one , and was soon lost to sight.

Rheumatism T7c douU If thcro 1 $ , or can be , a speclEi remedy for rheumatism ; but thousands who have suffered its pains have been greatly ben efited by Hood's Sarsaparllla. If you have failed to find relief , try this great remedy. "I was afflicted uith rheumatism twenty years. Prclous to 1883 I found no relief , but grew worse , and at ono time was almost help less. Hood's Sarsaparilla did mo more good than all the other medicine I ever had. " II. T. CALCOM , Shirley Village , Mass.
