She had almost forgotten them till then. In her astonishment at bear-. •ing that her .cousin had no need of money, she hnd'lost sight of the sacrifice she had made-to procure him-some. And it had been all in vnin. She had sold her dead mother’s trinkets for a paltry sum of fif­ teen sovereigns, whilst Will hud found no difficulty in raising fifty pounds. As Eve­ lyn thought of it. and that she bad done that which sHe never could recall, her for­ titude gave way, and she burst into tears. CHAPTER VI. Nothing"jt consequence occurred during the next few days, except that Will Caryll took to staying out late at night—a prac­ tice to which he had never l>een addicted since he had lived in Miss Rayne's house. One evening—it was the following Sat­ urday—Evelyn did not believe he Intend­ ed to come home at.all. Miss Rayne sat nodding in her chair till twelve o'clock, nnd then ordeyd her niece to lock up the house and follow her to bed. So she fast­ ened the house bolts, nnd put up tne chain and extinguished the gas nnd went quickly up to her own room, put on her wrapper, blew out the candle, nnd. open­ ing her cnscin»>nt window, sat down in the moonlight to watch and wait till she should hear the faiuilinr sound of Will's knuckles rapping against the hnll door. Eve wn^ very weary. She had worked hard all day—for mucli of the housekeep­ ing and house cleaning fell to her share— nnd nt inst-shp could keep awake no long­ er. Little by little her aching eyelids clos­ ed, and her head drooped upon her breast, and she fell fnst asleep. By nnd by—per­ haps nn hour afterwards—she waked sud­ denly and completely, ns people are apt to wake wiho have fallen asleep watching. She fancied she had heard u sound. It must have been Will nt the front door. Eve started to her feet. Her first fear was that it might have been repeated Sev­ ern! time*, and that her aunt had heard it, , too. But as she became fully consejous. she was suddenly made aware tfcit she was not alone. Before her. in the^mwrutlWil. stood n tall, figure. Eve sprang to her feet with an exclamation of alarm. The figure grasped her by the arm. It was her Cousin Will. "Hush!” he said, in a warning whisper. "Hush, Eve, for henven's sake, or I era lost f’ Thon Eve's sense and courage came to her aaslatance. She took in the situation nt a glance. Something terrible hud hap­ pened that required secrecy. She could not imagine what it was, but discovery meant harm to Will, so her first impulse led her to lock her iwdroom door. Then she drew him to the farthest end of the room, and whispered: "What 1* it? Tell me quickly. How did you come here?” He turned nnd j>ointe<l to the trap-door In the ceiling, which she now perceived. •Through there? By the roof?" He nodded hi reply. "But why? Wlit is the matter?” "I have been there all the afternoon. Eve. I came in while you were nt din­ ner. nnd crept up to your room. I am hiding. Hasn't Gamble told you?

But what she bad to do in this extremWhen six o’clock struck on that Sunday morning, and the little world of Liver­ pool began to stir, she went up to the bed and kissed the fair, flushed face of Wil­ liam Can’ll Info consciousness. "Will," she whispered, ns he sprang up Into a sitting posture, and stared about hfrn, "it Is morning—yon will have to gp Into hiding again. But listen tame, dear. I have been thinking all night what is best to be done, nnd I have decide*! to go and speak to Uncle Caryll.” “Yon won’t tell'hin" I* nm here?’ he cried, clutching her arm. "No, no.

AYER’S Cherry Pectoral 4is not to be confounded with any of the cheap “elixirs” and “cough syrups.” Such remedies (so called) simply soothe the . sufferer. They are mere palliatives. They never touch the root of the disease or cure a chronic cough. Dr. Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral is a real remedy; it is the pre­ scription of a practical physician, and not the preparation of an irrespon­ sible medicine maker. It Bronchitis, CURES 0|LawGrippe, Whooping Cough and all colds, coughs, and lung diseases. It’s a standard and a staple remedy, and should be kept on hand in every household. •• About a year ago, I had an attack of bronchitis, accompanied by a dry. hacking cough. This soon developed into quick consumption. ' 1 had heard of the curative properties of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, and commenced using that medicine at once. Before I had taken one third of a bottle I felt better, and in a short time 1 was entirely cured." W. A. COKER, Allis, Ark, “ I caught a bad cold which resulted in asthma so severe that I was threatened with suffocation whenever I attempted to lie down in bed. A friend, recommending' Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, I began to take it and soon obtained relief, and, finally, was completely cured. Since then I have used this medicine in my family with great success for colds, coughs, and croup." S. HUTTER, Editor “ Relink," Steven's Point, Wis. *■ I contracted a severe cold which settled on my lungs and did not yield to the various remedies I tried. I had noticed Ayer's Cherry Pectoral extensively advertised where I had traveled and decided to give it a trial. I purchased two bottles and before I bad finished the first one, I was almost cured and I am now in perfect health. My work subjects mo to very severe weather, but I find that a timely dose of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral acts as a preventive against colds and coughs.” CHAS. HULL, Whortlcy Road, London, Ont “ Some time since I had a severe cold and could not sleep on account of coughing. A friend at Van Buren, Ark., recommended Ayer's Cherry Pectoral.

That is to say, in their close ap­ plication an unusual amount of nervous energy is spent without the corresponding accumulation io take its place. This is tp be regretted, as the world cannot afford to lose their usefulness. Recent developments from Dr. Wheeler’s life study on the subject of the nerves has produced a remedy for this evil; and those fortunate enough tn avail themselvc of Dr. Whcelcr’i Nerve Vitalber have had a renewal of nervous energy, and health restored. A notable instance is that of Manly W. Burtch. sufteaintendeat of Welch Folding Bed Co., Grand Rapids, Mich. A man of unusual mental ability, who, unfortu­ nately, broke down with nervous trouble. The use of Dr. Wheeler’s Nerve Vitaltzer soon accumulated nervous energy, as staled in his letter below: “ I take great pleasure in testifying to the value of Dr. Wheeler’s Nerve Vitalizcr, which I have personally tested, so that 1 know whereof I speak. My work, during the busy season, is very trying on the nerves; but after taking your Nerve Vitaltzer a few times, I felt as if 1 could, if necessary, do two days’ work tn one.

The total‘will slightly exceed $12,200,000, and a con­ servative estimate made by the mint offi­ cials places the entire output of Colorado at $22,U0OJXX) In round figures. Colorado will go far ahead of California, as it is said to lie doubtful if California's output will touch the $18,000,000 mark. Lost year Colorado's output was $16,500,000 sand that of California was $17,000,000, While the total production of the country was $61,717,926. The great increase in the Colorado output this year will send the total for the United States up to the $70,000,000 mark. PA TENT OFFICE BUSH.

The man who bus wont out his'farm will have his mind somewhat worn, atul It will need overhauling before success will lie fully reached In reno­ vating tbe soil. The farmer’s mind must be fed first, the food fbr the mind is education. When the farmer lias a longing for more knowledge than he gains each week from tlicee columns, then we have awakened tn hint a MjWrit of Investigation to find out how to re­ store to his soil Its lost crop capacity. He will begin to Inveet In stock anti he will become more of a flesh-growing farmer and seller Instead of a grain seller. Instead of selling his capital (soil fertility» with the grain he manufacturea the grain Into flesh, builds up bls farm ard gets on In the world more content?d. The young farmers are becoming our reading farmers. They consider ns a part of their equip­ ment the knowledge of soils, tbe value and blending of feed* and the scientific rotation of crops. The farm Is his bank, the soil his working capital, and with well-fed mind nnd sol! he will be prosperous and contented.—Farmer Guide. Di*po-»c of Unprofitable Cow*. The Toronto Globe says a Canadian farmer who kept twenty-four cows and two hired men. tested his cows wltlu the Baitcock test and found that eight were unprofitable. He disposed of them and let one hired man go. and at the end of the year found that he htul made as much money from the sixteen as from the twenty-four. Now he has got down to twelve good cows, and ex­ pects its much from them as he made from twice that number. Now he can increase up to his original number as font as he can find or grow good cows, and increase his profits. 5RS. KENNEDY & KERGJN 148 SHELBY STREET, ■M - - I mich.

The “creamery shark” Is again at work In New-York State. What Is a creamery shark? He looks like a man on tbe outside, and he can talk like a phonograph. He goes aliout trying to interest farmers In building coopera­ tive creameries. His favorite plan Is to Interest some “prominent cltlxen” by offering him a number of shares of the stock. Then the two worthies go about getting farmers to sign a con­ tract agreeing to buy a certain num­ ber of shares. The contract usually calls for an expensive plant, and In the etui the farmers Und themselves sad­ dled with nn outfit costing from 25 to 49 per cent, more than reputable deal­ ers would charge for It. The creamery shark thrives on deception tfnd fraud. His chief n'rgument Is that, by saving advertising and other expenses, he Is able to give farmers cheaper rates for goods handled by old-established firms. Our advice is never to buy without first corresponding with manufacturers of long standing.—Rural New Yorker. New Clothe* I*o*t. It IS believed that this clothes post will till a lonn-felt want.

NO CURE NO PAY Detroit. rains and other Obstacles are to be met, but there Is much work put off until spring that could be done Id winter. In the spring, ns soon as plowing and planting must be performed, dosens of jobs come up to be done In a‘burry, nnd all seem to need attention at once. It Is then that tbe farmer finds that be has been neglectful and failed to pre­ pare for spring. Wagons are to Iron, repairs are reqttjred for Implements, seed- is to ba procured and fertiliser must be purchased. At the same time every other farmer is bpsy and can render no assistance, while merchants who have many orders on hand cannot supply the needed arfieles promptly. The way to make the spring ojieralions easier and save time Is to do as much to lighten the spring work as possible. Value of the Farm. Waldo F.

It may seem strange to advise np from $400 to $.">00. namely fruit, vegetableC i*oultry and dairy products, plying wood ashes unleached to stable breadstuff* and meats, all of Itest qual­ manure just before it Is plowed under. Yet this is often a good 'thing to do. ity and furnished In abundance. While exposed to the air, esjtecially if the manure lie wet so as to leach the ashes, there will be some loss of am­ monia. But so fast as the manure and ashes are turned under, this waste of ammonia ceases. Jhe ashes cause the manure to ferment rapidly, and in con­ tact with the soil none of the ammonia wlU be lost. In fact, macb of it will combine with the potash In the ashes, forming a nitrate of potash, which Is the most effective manure known. Piss Stunted in Winter. Until s pig gets to weighing fully 106 pounds It requires warm sleeping apsrunents and a considerable variety of food to prevent it front being taunt­ ed. A young growing pig should never be fed on corn exclusively at any sea­ son. In cold weather it may liace skim milk with wheat middlings fed warm, and with a tittle cornmeal mix­ ed with ft. Ou such a ration and with a warm bed to sleep In. tbe pig will thrive nearly as well as in summer. To Lighten Bpring Work. Winter work cannot always be done to suit tbe convenience of tbe farmer, as severely cold weather, continued Feed Fowl* Slowly. The great trouble with most fowl fanciers IK that In their zeal to promote egg iiroduetlon they feed too heavily, and the fowls fatten instead of laying. Corn also Is a laid feed for fowls, es­ pecially If shelled and thrown where the fowls can eat It as rapidly as they can pick It up. If one person shell* by hand an ear of <-orn and throws It among thirty or fifty fowls the active ones will get It fully as fast as they should. The better way In to mix tbe grain and small grain ns well among cut straw and let tbe fowls earn their living by scratching for It. Ripeninjt «f Cream. In winter cream rises slowly, and much of it falls <t> ripen mt M should. The ripening 1* known by its turning slightly acid, without becoming bitter or In any way ill-flavored. Not all the cream should be put Into tbe churning. That taken from Ute pans latent will not be ripened, and its butter fata will nil be wasted unless they are saved by chnrnlug the buttermilk. The loss from this cause Is much greater In many small dairies than those operating them suppose. ISO7 tbe Banner Fear. The traffic through the United Rtates and Canadian canal* flt Sanlt 8te. Marie.

Secretary Coburn of the Kansas Board of Agriculture has completed a tabulation of the rallies of furrn products and live st<K*k marketed in Kansas during the last ten years. The figures show that Kan­ sas farmers realized over $1.300,000,000 for these products. Contrary to the gen­ eral impression, wheat is not king in Kan­ sas. Corn outranks it. In ten years the total value of corn hna exceeded that of wheat by $177,000,000. Both Iganchcs of the Nutlotqjl Ix*gislature are again in" *e**lou. having recon­ vened on Wednesday, after the boiiday I recess of two weeks. The civil service debate began in the House the first day. based on the item in • In the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill "for the maintenance of the commission. It promises to continue for several days. But it is generally ad­ mitted bn both sides that the apprgpriation 4n the bill will stand, as the nutlcivil service reformers do not »?rion»ly contemplate an attempt to strike it out. The debate therefort* Is only preliminary to any program which the enemies of the new law may agree upon. The members of the House are divided into three camps on this question—thoae f who stand l>y the law, those who advo­ cate its entire repeal -aad I",hose who de­ sire it* modification. These divisions were apparent In the debate on Wednes­ day. the nature of which wns not as stir­ ring as had. been anticipated. Me**r*. ■ Moody (Rep.) of Massachusetts. Grow (Rep.) of Pennsylvania and Greene (Rep.) of Nebraska dcfcndwl the law; Messrs. Dockery (Dem.) of Missouri. Robb (Detn.) of-Missouri and Pearson (Rep.) of North Carolina opposed it outright, while Mr. . Land!* (Rep.) of Indiana favored modifi­ cations of the Jaw. » The Vice-President laid before the Sen­ ate the reply of Secretary Sherman to the Senate resolution requesting information > as to the application of the civil service law in his department. From considera­ tion of thi* reply the Senate drifted into a debate upon the civil service question "* that wns nt times quite acrimonious. Mr. Allen of Nebraska ipoke on the immigra­ tion bill nnd declared in favor of consular inspection of immigrants. Secretary Gage in hi* report to Congres* on the civil service recommended exemption from the classified service of about 4,500 places. They comprise dep­ uty revenue collectors, lighthouse keep­ ers, custodian* nnd janitor*. These ex­ emptions are in the Treasury Depart­ ment, but the other cabinet officers are • prepaying reports making similar recom­ mendations. Senator Teller introduced a concurrent resolutiqn declaring the . bonds of the United States payable in xilver dollar*, and asserting that "to restore to their coinage such silver coins ns n legal tender in. payment'of said bonds, principal and interest, is not in violation of the public faith nor in derogation of the right* of the public creditor.” The resolution was re- ‘ ferred to the Finance Committee, but an a majority of the members of that com­ mittee nre friendly to silver Mr. Teller anticipates that it will be favorably re­ ported. Thursday In the House was consumed by civil service debate, the executive, leg­ islative and judicial appropriation bill be­ ing before the House. Speeches were f made by Representative** Grosvenor (Ohio), Johnson (Indiana) and Lloyd (Mis­ souri). In the Senate the bill providing for the'holding of a congress of th'e repre­ sentative* of diffcrept Indian tribes of the United States at Omaha in 1898 and appropriating $45,000 therefor was pass- " ed. A bill appropriating $175,000 for a public building at Fergus Falls.' Minn., was passed. The bill to protect the name and insignia of the Red Cross wns passed. • The civil service debate continued in. the House on Friday. All effort* to fix a time for its termination failed. The'inter-' cst in the discussion does not seem to be ’. waning. The debate was without mark> ed int-klent The speakers were Messrs. Gillette of Massachusetts. Burton of] Ohio, Republicans, ami Fitzgerald (Detn.,; Mass.), in supjwrt of the law; Messrs. Cummings (Dem.. N. Y.). Faris I Rep., Ind.), Mahaney (Rep., N. Y.). Drigg* (Dem., N.

In the Semite, Senator Allen introduced a resolution declaring that the United States should l>egin the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. Senator . Teller addressed the Senate denying that there wns a conspiracy to.disrupt the relations between the President and Sec­ retary Gage. Two hours of Saturday’s session of the House were devoted to the civil service debate, during which Messrs. Corliss 4 (Rep., Mich.), Hepburn (Rep., Iowa), and • C|nrke (Rem N. II.) nddresswl the House iu opposition to the law ns it now stands. The remainder of the session was con­ sumed by the friends of the late Repre­ sentative Wrighjf of Mnssnrhusetts in eulogy-of his memory.

Timber Grown in Europe. Valuable as ta land in France, Ger­ many and other portions of Europe, timber is grown on portions of each farm In some localities or In large tracts by the governments.

How Hotiandars Enjoy This Exhilarating Wtntsr Paxtimv. In Holland a winter seldom passes without good skating, which being Dot only a pastime with the Dutch, but a serious and ordinary mode of travel, the Ice on the canals and "grachts" is kept in good condition, and Jt is com­ mon to see a small army of sweeping peasants putting the ice in order for the day. There is a skating club in ev­ ery town in Holland, and all these clubs belong to the Dutch Skating As­ sociation. The largest clubs are prob­ ably the Amsterdam and .Rotterdam Ice Clubs, and In the. season many ex­ cursions are made by these associations to the surrounding towns—for example, from Amsterdam to Leyden via Vogelenzang and Haarlem; from Amsterdam to Monnlkendam, Edam. Hoorn, Enkhuyxen, Aik maar, and even across the •Zuyder Zee. when it will bear, to Marken, and even Urk. The way the whole country Is moated by canals, with huge windmllls'overlooklng the ice like leviathan implements^of ord­ nance, is calculated to appeal to the lover of the picturesque. Then there are the graceful light sleighs, propelled by skilful skaters, and containing red­ cheeked, bright-eyed peasant girls in immense lace caps and dangling temple ornaments, flying over the ice at great speed. On the Maas, a few miles east of Rotterdam, lies a famous skating re­ sort known as Slikkerveer, and brought Into notoriety in recent years by the international skating contests which are held there. Any one fond of that most exhilarating form of exercise can hardly find a more interesting experi­ ence than is *o be had during a winter trip to Holland. In the season the boat leaves the Rhine Station Pier for a sail up the Maas. The steamer ploughs her way through the.floating ice, and at length leaves you at a "high pier on a huge dike which separates the river from the low-lying country. A short walk brings you to a large enclosed ex­ panse of Ice,' obtained by artificially flooding a large area. Here a huge horseshoe course is marked .out for the racers. And on either side of this stretches the free portion, for the on­ lookers. and those who wish to prac­ tise the exhilarating art. Fashion is beginning Jo drive out the picturesque costumes of the peasants, who are be­ coming ashamed of their distinctive dress. So year by year there is to be seen less and less of the lovely, quaint, and sometimes bizarre head-dresses, and the queer coats and breeches of the m^n and boys. « There is little fancy skating to be co«n. The great length of the runners of the-^utch skates, npd the way in which they tuw^mck In huge curves over the toe, are effectual checks upon all figure-skating ItnAkitiff' sudden or. short turns. An attempt to do the out­ side edge backwards would invite dis­ aster.—Harper’s Weekly. Strange Plants. Early travelers iu Chius and Tnrtary speak of a “plant of flesh nud blood, with the shape nnd appearance of a lamb, having feet, tail nnd head dis­ tinctly formed, and its skin covered with soft down.” The lamb is said to grow npon a stalk three feet in height, and to turn about nnd bend to the herbage that serves for its food, and when the grass fails it dries up and withers away. There is some founda­ tion for this queer story in the exist­ ence of a singularly shaped plant re­ cently discovered, which has u sort of woolly covering and in order to height­ en the general effect the natives trim the plant and adjust^ the long, light, silky hairs that cover it in such a style os to give it the appearance of a wool­ clad animal. It is natural to suppose that this plant would wither when the grass begins to fail; for even if it did noi'hubsist upon the gross, os it is re­ ported to do, the same drought that served to kill the gross would naturally destroy the plant. The value of the plant world, not only in furnishing the pplpy material of which paper is manufactured, but also in supplying the paper itself out­ right, may not be fully appreciated by those who have not investigated the subject. It is well knowu that the Egyptian papyrus in early days was the main source from which anything like our modern paper was derived, and on it were written many of the oldest volumes now extant This was a reed that grew by the brooks, with a stem six to ten feet in height nud about an inch in dinmeter. This was peeled and the pith cut iuto thin slices, which were then laid side by side, with the edges touching one another After being sprinkled with waler, a heavy pressure was applied, nnd they were thus united into one piece. It may not be so generally known that there now grows in Asin a tree the bark of which is made into sheets about a yard square, and these are used for all the ordinary purposes of paper, being tough and durable. Wolves in Franca. In 1896 premiums were paid on only 171 wolves killed in France, aa the number has been steadily decreasing. In 1890 the number was 461, in 1886 It was 900 and In 1883, the first year In which premiums were offered, 1,3!MJ were found In six departments. A Costly Theatre. There are In Kansas twenty wellbuilt towns without a single inhabi­ tant, and Saratoga, in that State, now absolutely uninhabited, has among other buildings a $30,000 theatre. At a meeting of the Agricultural So­ ciety of Hawick it was resolved to erect a tablet on the house at Haggisha. In which Robert Paterson, the prototype of Sir Walter Scott’s "Old Mortality," was born In 1715. One of the most skillful counterfeits that the secret service detectives bare ever come across was brought into the treasury last week. It is a $100 silver certificate and the counterfeiting had been so cleverly done that the experts of the’Treasury Department could not d«tect th'e fact that the notes were forger­ ies until they had been put through a se­ vere test. Altogether five bad notes have been discovered, and they are nil evi­ dently the work of the same skillet! hand. In view of the dangerous character of the counterfeit becretary Gage has called in all $100 silver certificates, of which there are about $26,000,(XX) outstanding. These will be*xchanged for silver certifi­ cates of smaller denominations and the plates destroyed. The destitute in Culm need all kinds of summer clothing, new or second-hand for men. women and children, blankets and sheets, medicine* for fevers, particularly quinine; juent extracts, condensed milk atid prepared soups and other forms of food suitable for invalids an- particularly desired; also bacon, rice, lard, flour, corn­ meal, potatoes. beans, peas, preserved meats, fish, fruits and ‘vegetables, 'can­ ned goods of all kinds and every other form of food that will not be injured by a five days’ voyage and exposure to.the tropical climate of Cuba. The distribu­ tion of these supplies will be made through the several consuls nnd consular agents of the United State's and such oth­ er agencies as Gen. Lee may find useful. Col. Morrison is now at bis home in Waterloo, Ill., and does not expect ever to return to Washington again as an offi­ cial. His six years’ term as president of the Interstate Commerce Commission has expired. He is now 72 years old, and by the time President McKinley’s term la out he will be 75, hence he does hot con­ sider himself any longer an available presidential candidate, but he is .quite con­ fident that'after his long official life he has strength and brains enough left to earn a living, and offers his services to any person or persons who desire the ad­ vice and counsel of a good lawyer.

The plan of using reindeer ns means of transportation from Dyca to Dawson in the Klondikb does not promise success, owing to the inability of the Government agent in Lapland to get Animals to thia country in time for service this winter. There is also some question about the value of reindeer in Alaska. There* is plenty of moss there for the animals, but it will be buried under many feet of snow, and some of the most experienced arctic explorers say that the reindeer could not transport'enough to feed them on the way from Dyrn to Dawson. They believe that dogs will be more valuable. When the postal congress met in Wash­ ington last year it was decided that on or before Jan. 1, 18119, the three principal denominations of the postage stamps of the world should be of uniform color. The 1-ceut stamp of the United States and the frank of like value in foreign coun­ tries is to be green, of the same shade as the old 3-cent stamp. The 2-cent stamp is to remain vermilion in color, and Great Britain’s penny purple must conform to it. while in the case of the 5-cent stamp we will adopt the blue of her 2^-pence piece. • In the course of the removal of the books and papers of the Congressional Li­ brary to the new building, an unexpected find hi.”. been made in the shape of n large box of papers written by Thomas Jeffer­ son. These were found stored away in a little room next the entrance to the li­ brary, which had been under lock and key for many years. The complete consolidation of Nicara­ gua, Salvador and Honduras into a sov­ ereign republic is progressing steadily, ac­ cording to advices received by Rcnor Cor­ rea, charge d'affaires of the greater re­ public of Central America. The Woman’s Christian Temperanc* Union and the Reform Bureau have en­ tered protests against the permission granted for the sale of wine and beer in the restaurant of the new Congressional Library building. Mr. Lippmann of Olyphant.

The United States Court of Claims has decided that all clerical employes of the Government hold office at the1 will and discretion of the heads of the depart­ ments. "The power to appoint has been limited by the civil service taws," the court says; "the power to remove remains unimpaired." The Secretary of State has received al­ together alxjut $7,000 in cash as the re­ sult of his appeal to the public for con­ tributions for the distressed citixcus at Cuba. �A BENEFACTRESS WHO IS DOING INCALCULABLE GOOD. Devotes Much of Her Time to the Benefits of Children—How She Helps Them. Detroit, Michigan, is one of those women ■who always know just what to do in all trouble aud sieknees. One that is a mother to those in distreu. To a reporter she said: -“I am the mother of un children and have raised eight of them. Several years ago we had a serious time with my daughter, which began when she was about sixteen yen old. 8hr did not hare any aerioua illneaa but seemed to gradually .waste away. Baring never had any consumption in our families, as Ke eotiie of good old Irish and Scotch descent, we^did not think it wm that disease. Neither did she have a hacking cough, yet she grew thinner and paler each day. Our doctor called the disease by an , odd name which, as I afterward learned, meant lack of blood. “ It is impoMible to describe the feelings John ahd I had u we noticed our daughter slowly. paining away from us.

I liave told many mothers about them and they-have made some wonderful cures. One or the girls had a young lady friend that came to the house almost every day, and she. wm a sight. Honestly, she seemed almost.transparent. I did not care to have my daughters associatexwith her, aa I wm afraid she would drop dead some day when they were out on the street. I recom­ mended and begged her to take Dr. WUliams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, and told her of their sterling qualities and how the cost wm slight, being only 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50, at any druggist’a. Final­ ly I induced her to try them. “They helped her wonderfally, and un­ doubtedly sired her life. She now recom­ mends them to other young women. “Every mother in this land should keep these pills in the house, as they are good for many other ailments.

Byer since the steamer Portland ar­ rived in Puget Sound waters last July, bearing the golden treasures of the upper Yukun country, the name Klon­ dike has been a household word in both hemispheres, and the rush to the new Eldorado of untold millions has already begun. The alluring descrip­ tions of the marvelous wealth of the gold fields, made by the transporta­ tion companies and speculators who have claims to sell, have been herald­ ed in every city and hamlet on the face of the globe, and thousands upon thousands who have little or no adequate Idea of the difficulties to overcome, or the hardships to be endjjred on a trip, have already set their faces toward the northwest, and trails leading to Dawson will soon be filled with adarfng, determined, and struggling mass of humanity. 1 know that the readers uf The Nbws will be more Interested in read­ ing a plain statement of facts, than In perusing the boom pamphlets Is­ sued by the transportation companies even though it may enol their ardor for a trip, therefore I shall endeavor to briefly state both sides of the case, leaving each reader to form his own conclusions regarding the desirability of making the Journey. There is gold there, and in as great quantities, 1 believe, as has been re­ ported, and I am also certain that It can nut all be gotten oat in the next five or eyen fifty years, so that neople who wait for better transportation facilities can find gold for the digging when they arrive a few years hence.

OHIO $3.20 has, after almost three years of dramatic history, at last paid the penalty of his hor­ rible and revolting crimes. Durrant wns hanged Friday in San Quentin prison, nnd when the hangman sprung the trap he rung down the curtain on whnt has been one of the longest, most exciting, sensa­ tional and sharply contested mnrder trial* in the history of American criminal law. While Durrant was convicted of but one murder under tbe law, he was held re­ sponsible by public opinion for the mur­ der of both Blanche Lamont and Minnie William*, nnd it is felt that his death expiates one crime as much ns the other. He kept up his remarkable nerve until the last and died protesting bis innocence. On April 3, 1895. Blanche Lamont, n member of the Sunday school attached to the Emanuel Baptist Church, suddenly Cinappeared from tbe residence of her aunt, with whom *he lived. Nine days later Minnie Williams left her home in Almcda to attend a meeting of young peo­ ple, and, like Blanche Lamont, she failed to return. The following day. April 13. the body of Minnie Williams was found in thj library of Emanuel Baptist Church. It was terribly disfigured, nnd gave evi­ dences of the girl having given her slayer a fearful Ixattle before ahe yielded up her life. The machinery of the law wns put iu motion. Detective*, with hardly any clew to work upon, set out.upon their task. In some way the finding ot Miss Williams’ body was linked with the disappearance Col. Nestor Arnnguren, about whose personality so much interest centers be­ cause he met Col. Ruiz's offer of peace by ordering his execution, is one of the younger nnd most daring of the Culmn leaders. He is in command of a detach­ ment on The outskirts of Havana, and much has he worried the Spaniards. Arnnguren’s most daring piece of work wns a raid into the town ot Guannbacoa, a suburb of Havana, across the buy. He held possession of the place for several hour*, despite the fact that it contained a strong Spanish garrison. He laid a plot COLOXKL AKAXUUKsX.

Writing of the disaster a newspaper man k who went down into the pit says: "The writer was hurled backward into the pit nud underneath the falling timbers. When the air cleared of the dust and the bright l chandelier immediately overhead shone into tbe death pit, n ghastly sight met the eyes. Faces gashed and covered with | blood were everywhere to lie seen. The drawn countenance* of those who suffer­ ed internally and were fit the throes of death were also among the number. Old men, with gray hair nnd beards matted with blood, lay pinned in the heap, along with small boys, distorted with pain. The clothes and faces of nil were ashy with the dust of plaster and added to the hor­ ror of the scene. From above me, blood from those killed and injured liegan to trickle, nnd that, with the cries of the dy­ ing for deliverance from their pains made an impression un me which I shall never forget.” England exultingly declares that she holds “the key to the East." but whether she will use it to lock herself in or Ger­ many out remains to Im* seen.

We BORN AMID GREAT FEAR. Autonomy in Cuba Begins Under n Threatening Cloud. Autonomy was formally implanted in Cuba Saturday morning by the adminlatration of the oath of fidelity to Spain and. the new constitution to the members of the colonial cabinet. Only four member* were present, Senor Dolx, minister of pub­ lic works, being in Spain, and Senor Govin, minister of the interior, not having arrived from the United States. Tbenew regime was ushered in under threat­ ening auspices. It is believed that an out­ break against autonomy was only avert­ ed by extraordinary military precautions. The Government had been in possession, for several days of information that trou­ ble might be expected on New Year’a eve, the signal for nn outbreak being the ringing of bells at midnight. Precaution­ ary measures were taken with great se­ crecy, but enough became known to con­ vince the iiitransigentes and the turbu­ lent element of the utter futility of the success of a demonstration. Much bitter feeling was manifested over the action of the Government. The intrnnsigentes declare that the end is near when'the weapons of the Spanish soldier* are turned against the only loyal Span­ iards iu Cuba, and ask if autonomy is to be thrust down their throats with the bayonet. Marshal Blanco, the captain general,, escorted by a number of high Spanish offi­ cials, the consular corps, army and nary officers, politicians, etc., reached the throne room nt 9 o'clock a. iu. A new Bible was open on a table, nud upon it the secretaries took the oath of fidelity, to the queen, the monarchy and the Span­ ish Government, placing their right hands on the Bible nnd knwliug as they repeat­ ed the words required. Senor Galvez, president of the cabinet, was first sworn in, aud then the oath wo* administered to the others. After the conclusion of this ceremony all present attended the celebration uT mass by the bishop iu the chapel of the palace. All present knelt down at the elevation of the host, except the British and German consuls. At the conclusion of the ceremonies the captain general re­ mitted the death penalty imposed upon persons who had ls-en convicted of com­ mon crimes. Cable messages of congrat­ ulation were exchanged during the day between Senor Sngnsta, premier of Spain, nud Marshal Blanco. NEW MENACE FOR ENGLAND.

Mich. copy of thia order lobe published In the Naearaxa Nearly three month? ago a man who gave his name as William Storrs, and claiming to represent a manufacturing company doing business at Indiana, Indiana county, Pennsylvania..Called at the home of Isaac Smith, on the Castleton-Woodland townline and in­ terested Mr. Smith in a steam cooker on which he cl a itoed his company had a patent. He had a model of the steam cooker with him and demonstrated that the machinewas a practical neces­ sity on every well regulated farm. He vu well supplied with printed matter, in the line of circulars, catalogues, contracts, patent deeds,etc.,and to all appearances w*as doing a straight, le­ gitimate business.' Mr. Smith looked into the matter carefully, and finally bought the right of the patent for three townships, giving for the same his note for* $1115, or at the rate of $105 per township. The territory pur­ chased by Mr. Smith comprised Cas­ tleton, Woodland and Sunfield town­ ships. The purchase price was to In­ clude, besides the territory, two sam­ ple machines, one of which was^ to be set up in running.ordex. at Mr. Smith’s place, the other at S.unfield. After Storrs had gone, Mr. Smith informed his wife of the deal he had made, and she averred her belief that the fellow was a swindler. The more thev talked it over,the moreconvinced Smith became that he would never see Storrs or his money again. About a week later, however, he was pleas­ antly surprised to see Ston* drive up. He went into the house, had a pleas­ ant visit with Mr. and Mrs. Smith, who frankly told them of their fears, and he laughed at them for their sus­ picions and “jollied’’ them until he set their minds at rest as to his chracter and reliability. When about to f;6t into his buggy, he turned as if it usl occurred to his mind and asked Mr. Smith if, in eaqc he became pressed for funds, if he would object to bis disposing of Ills note. _ Mr. Smith, fully satisfied now that Storrs was all right, told him it would be satifartory. Storrs then came to Nashville’and tried to sell the note to .1. E. Barry. Mr. Barry told him he would buy the note, but not without first seeing Mr. Smith. Thereupon Storrs got a rig and drove out to Smiths , taking Mr. Barry along. Mr. Smith told Mr. Barry the note was all right and they returned to Nash­ ville, where the deal was closed and Storrs took his money and dis­ appeared. _ The sample 'Cookers, which Mr. Smith was anxkuuly—looking for. failed to arrive, and finally he wrote to the linn who manufactures them. In a few (lays a reply came to tin: effect that no machines were ordered for him and that Storrs was notw orking for them or representing them in any way, and had no authority to sell territory for them. Mr. Smith then set inquiries out after Storrs, and several times got tra«*e of him. but too I&tetOget hold of him. Howevtu*, -another of Storrs’ victims, Wm.

Deputy Sheriff Appelman, who was looking up the case for Mr. Smith, telephoned over to Albion, and learned that Storrs had also been arrested at Mt.

The railroad statistics for 1897 furnish an indication of the properous condition of the country, for the rail­ road can not be prosperous with the country depressed. There were last year only 18 companies going into bankruptcy, representing 1,537 miles of road and 192,800,(100 capital, as against .34 roads in 189(1, representing 5.441 miles and $275,000,000: and against 74 roads in 189.3, representing 2J»,(XK) miles and a capital of $1,7(10. 000,000.

Hicks, the weather prophet, prom­ ises two kinds of weather for this month, warm and very cold. A blizz­ ard from the 22nd to the 25th, and for the latter part, of the month, says: The last regular storm period for January will be central, in conjunction with a mercury period, on the 26th. About Wednesday, the 26th, to Sunday the 30th, look for general and marked winter storms. There will lx? general rains, jurning to snow, and heavy sleet, with blizzards in many northern and western sections. Winter will perhaps get its firmest, general grip on our continent about the close of tlie period.

W. FEIGHNER, Publisher. fAAHVILLJk"-' - - MICHIGAN. PROSPECTS ARE GOOD OPENING OF THE YEAR'S BUSI­ NESS ENCOURAGING. * Dan’s Encouraging Report. R. G. Dun & Co,'h weekly review of .trade says: "The year has opened with a .▼ery satisfactory prospect. It is all the better that there is no wild excitement in the speculative markets, and, while stocks advance a little, grain yields a little. The .payments through principal clearing houses, notwithstanding a decrease nt New York owing to less actiyity in stocks, are 2.6 per cent larger than in 1892. nnd 10.1 per qgnt hirgcr outside New York. Earnings of nW railroads In the United States reporting for December—$43,364,'279—indicate substantially the same rate of increase, exceeding last year's by 10.5 per cent nnd the earnings of 1892 for the aame roads by 1.3 per cent. Since 1892 was on the whole the most prosperous yraf thus far, comparisons indicate, not­ withstanding the lowest prices ever , known, that the volume of business is larger, nnd, in spite of some cutting of rates, the earnings of railroads are larger than in the best year of past history. The wheat market has been curiously languid, yielding a quarter of n cent. Western receipts were 5,577,250 bushels for the two weeks, against 3,098,688 bushels Inst year. Corn exports continue large, al­ though equni to Inst year's. Spot cotton is a sixteenth lower, mainly because of the stoppage of some mill* by difficulty about wages. But nithing is definitely known nlxiut the quantity of cotton yet coming forward and one report of credit­ able character puts the year's yield at 10,­ 570,250 bales, though results thus far do not quite justify so large an estimate.

On Friday the friends of the amendment compromised with the Appropriations Committee by agreeing to a reduction of the number to l»e printed from 150,000 to 75,000. As amended the amendment was adopted. Most of the day was consumed in a filibuster against a bill to pay the publishing house of the Methodist Epis­ copal Church Souttf at Nashville. Tenn.. $288,000* for the seizure aud use of the pro|*erty of that corporation during the war. In the Senate Mr. Hoar offered a joint resolution proposing an amendment to the constitution extending the term of office of the President and Senators toApril 30, 11M11, at noun, and making that day instead of March 4 tin- commencesment and termination of official terms iu future. It wns referred to the Commit­ tee on Privileges and Elections. Mr. Lodge offered a resolution, which was. agreed to, calling u|x>p the Secretary ot Agriculture to supply the Senate with information ns to the amount of sugar imported into the United States; the amount of beet sugar produced in the United States; with what sugar, imported or domestic, the beet sugnr comes intocompetition, and what effect the Ha­ waiian sugar has or can have upon Ix-et sugar production In the United States.

The natural habitat of the sheep Is on high ami often rocky lands. By con­ tact with roeks and atones the hoofs of ■beep are naturally pruned. When they are kept on low. wet ground the hoof grows long, and being very little sensi­ tive It Is easily softened until It begins to rot. There can lie no doubt that this Is caused by some germ, for rubbing the hoof with blue vitriol, which is one of the best genu killers, will destroy It. But the genu seems to be indlgeuous to all wet lands where sheep arc kept, and It Is the worst affliction with which sheep can be afflicted. When it once gets Into a flock It can be carried to land that l» high and dry, and will propagate there. Variation in EtMilagc. It Is too commonly supposed that en­ silage made from fodder corn must be uniform In Its nutritive value. Tide is by no means the fact. The ensilage put up the last few years' Is much bet­ ter than that which was made at first, when a large quantity rather than qual­ ity wns what was mainly sought for. All corn ensilage requires that some supplementary food be given with It, for corn Is not a weU-balanectt ration. But some corn ensilage requires more of other-food as its supplement. It Is poMribh; to ensilage corn when It lias reached the earing stag^ cutting up the ear with the stalk.

GAVE HIS LIFE TO SAVE ANOTHER founs Man Drown* After Rcacnlnsn ' Companion from Death. A story of splendid heroism In a youth who gave his life to save that of his friend comes from Fraserburgh, lu Scotland. The Itcro of the story Is St. John Dick Cunyngham. son of Lieutenant Colonel Dick Cunyngham, V. C.. of the Second Battalion Gordon Highlanders, stationed at Aidershot. Young Cunyngham and the master of Saltoun (son of Lord Saltoun) left Phllurth together, and went to the sea to bathe. Evidently the lads were unac­ quainted with the treacherous nature of the sands at the point at which they entered the water, for they walked out at once to. easy swimming depth. Sud­ denly both found themselves In deep water, a strong undercurrent having drawn them Into one of the many ••pots’* or pools which constitute the chief danger of the place. To the hid Cunyngham the situation was not desperate, but the young mas­ ter of Saltoun was quickly exhausted and was on the point of giving up the struggle when his companion, forget; ful of his own danger aud eager only ♦o save his friend, devoted all bls re­ maining strength to the work of res­ cue. AftVr a desperate struggle Cunynglutm miceeeded In getting his friend Into shallow water, through which the latter dragged himself In a terribly exhauMed condition to the beach. Turning to thank bis rescuer, the master of Saltoun was horrified to find that Ik* had disappeared. Frantic with excitement, he ran as fast a* his condi­ tion would permit to some fishermen who wen* working some distance aloug the beach, but although they lost no time In inaklug search for the lad no trace of him could Ik* found.

Read the con­ tract which the makers of this grand remedy makes with the druggist: CONTRACT Druggists arc authorized in all cases to refund the purchase ,price ____ .. if the Four-C Remedy (Phelpu’ Cough, Cold and Croup Cure) fails to give satisfaction in croup, bronchitis, asthma, lagrippe, cough und colds, no matter how long standing or deep seated. In fact we guarantee it in all manner of bronchial and lung trouble to give unbounded satisfaction. Give it a trial on the above conditions. We take all chances. In accordance with this contract you can come to our drug store, buy a bottle, and if it does not give satisfaction you return it and get your money back. It is a far more desirable way of doing business than where you pay for ajiottle of medicine, use it with­ out beneficial results, and then have to stand it yourself. E.

It won not nn ordinary affection which she felt for this yo-uig girl. One could see thnt by the trembling eagerness with which she changed her dress in anticipation of the arrival of her friend;.by the nervous fin­ gers thnt arranged and rearranged the ornaments about her sitting room, and the ripnkted journeys she made backward aud forward to the window to see if there were any signs qf Agnes’ approach. By the time that the carriage wheels from Featherstone Holl stopped before the portico, her cheeks were burning, and her eyes beaming with excitement nnd suspense. Agnes did not wait to an­ nounced. but leaping from the carriage, ran straight to the morning room, where she knew that she would find her friend. As soon os the yonng women met, they flew Into each other’s arms, and for a few minutes nothing was to lie heard but the sound of their reiieutcd kissing, and n few low sobs of pleasure from Agnes Fea­ therstone. They separated at last, but it was only to jjy together again with an­ other series of embraces; aud then Eve­ lyn drew Agnes gently toward a sofa, and sat down beside her with her arm about her waist. The tears were standing on both tbeir faces ns they turned to look at one adother. “And so, my darling. I have got you back again at last?” said Evelyn. “Ob, Agnes, this separation has been a weary one for me. While you hare been danc­ ing. and flirting, nnd going to operas and concerts, yon naughty puss, I have been hungering and thirsting for the sight of your face and the sound of your voice. I did not realize how ycry necessary you wen* to my happiness until we parted. Agnes." Tbe younger girl looked troubled, and a little perplexed. “And do you suppose I have not felt it also, Evelyn? There has not been a day thnt I didn't want you. dear. My pleasures would hare been doubled had you been there to share them with me. As it wax, there always seemed something wanting in ererything to me.

Enraged Seminole* Likely to Take the Wurpath. A bloody uprising of the Seminole In­ dians i* imminent. An alarming state of rioting and hatred exist* owing to tbe burning ut the stake by whites of two memlxTi of tbe tribe. Unless immediate steps are taken by the United State* au­ thorities the Indians may go on the war­ path. Both the Indians who were burned came from respectable Seminole families, nnd their fearful fate has aroused tbeir friends aud relatives to frenzy. The crime which led to the burning of the two men was. committed on last Thursday. vMnreu* McGeisey wu theowner of some property. On his land lived a white family named Simmons. During the absence of tbe husband on Thursday McGeisey went to the Simmons cabin and asked for a drink of water. Mrs. Simmon* was at home with her four small children. Tbe Indian was given the water and be then asked for a. saddle. On being refused McGeisey seis­ ed the woman, who had her baby in her arm*, and dragged her out of the bouse. When the woman attempted to run away the Indian seized a Winchester rifle and dealt her a deadly blow on tbe head, crushing the skull. The woman died in­ stantly. The feeling was so bitter that the crowd would not be satisfied with the ordinary method of lynching, and it was voted toburn them at tbe stake. Hie victims were accordingly chaned to an oak tree. Fence roils nnd dry wood were then piled high above them, aud in n few minute* tbe Indian* were wrapped in roaring flames, while the timbers crackled beneath their feet. Never a word did the Indians utter while being roasted alive. They appar­ ently saw that they were powerless to re­ sist and endured theft* lot like stoic*. The crowd was composed of not over­ thirty men. nnd tbe work was done in at quiet but thoroughly determined manner.

Dear sir: loan article which ap­ peared in The News of last week, which says: "trouble has arisen in the Dunhatu School District, of Maple Grove, Johnstown, Assyria, and Banfleld.” The writer wishes to correct your iufuiuiaut un some uf the mistakes that he made either ignorantly or maliciously. In the tlist place there Is no District known as the above named, bift that trouble has arisen In School DI st. No. 4 fr. uf Maple Grove, Assyria, and Baltimore no one will deny, who is acquainted with tbe facts. Quite a number of patrons of this Disc, nave taken their children frum school for various reasons, the fault being laid to tbe leather generally, claiming she was incompetent tu govern a school, and that she made it so unpleasant for others that nu amoubt of reasonable persuasion can' compel them to attend school. Agqjnyousay that you have been informed that Miss Wilcox is un efficient aud thoroughly quail tied teacher, and that she gave excellent salislactiuu in the Moure Disk, allow iuc to say with au impartial iuvesi..gatluu we believe the facts will be lu the contrary. Your informauisaw fit lu drag the cemetery matter luu, print also with many mistakes which were calculated to be misleading and injurious and to draw credit tu lheiuselves ^u lhe in­ jury uf some one else. As we. are familiar with Lhe business relating tu the cemetery and know just how lhe business is conducted, and are positive in uur sLutemeuts. Tbe sexton uf said cemetery received bls instructions from Lhe supervisors, aud tbeir orders were to ^ive, tree uf charge, tu any person, living lu tbe four adjoining tuwusbips s lot wheu It became nec­ essary fyr them tu use one aud when an applicant applied for a lot be was shown all tbe vacant ones aud be was to uke bis cbulye.^ This Maple Grove man who was brought into the controversy did not apply to tbe proper authority for a lut but applied where they had no authority to let any one have*U lot exc .jtt by tbe refusal of tbe sexton to du so. The article in question says that lhe Maple Grove man went to the committee to buy a lot; if be bought it uf I hum We would like lo know wuat be gave fur it aud what was dune with the proceeds. Again this Maple Grove man picked uut a place lu uury where it bad not been platted, while there were many vacant lots pl a lied uut, all ou tbe new addition, the sexton was given tbe job tu dig tbe graves ata certain price to be paid for by lhe Several townships if nut paid fur otherwise. The sexton huids a written agree­ ment signed by all four uf the couiluitteemen that the job uf platting out lots shall be done by tbe said sex­ ton fur a consideration. Now some of this committee with­ out calling a meeting turned light about and platted out a lot regardless of their word; tbe excuse furnished was that, "this particular Maple Grove man helped to pay for the ground aud he had a better right than ■ome others.” Tbe sexton has bad the cemetery In his care for years. There were no complaint* by tbe public. This committee was but rv-cently appointed by request of tbe sex­ ton to the supervisors. No trouble ever occurred until some uf these be­ gan to super cedi theiE authority. We do not charge anyone with dishonesty bui we confess it is annoying to be misrepresented by Ignorance and t-ume one’s self conceit.

There have been many harsh criti­ cisms heard around town since we be­ gan selling incuts at about half the prices the other fellows were charging, ab<*uv«lhe quality of the meats we sold. These criticisms have not affected -any of our customers, because they knew tlie meats they got of us were all right, and they, have been perfectly Satisfied. , Possibly the criticisms and the un­ truths told have kept away some new customers—we don t know. But we have been increasing our sales right along just the same, and new people arc coming every day. You knowwhat Armour's goods are. They don’t need ariy puffing from us. Their goods are always of the highest standard of excellence, and there is unlimited capital back of the goods. The Armours don’t risk their reputa­ tion by putting out questionable goods.

Fill a bottle or common glass with urine and let it stand twenty-four hours: a sediment or settling indicate an unhealthy condition of the kidneys.

Crippled , for Life. John Green, hostler at the Wolcott house barn was the victim of an acci­ dent last Saturday which will in all probability disable him for the rest of his da vs. At about noon L. E. Hinchman of Assyria drove to the barn to put out his horses, and after they had been unhitched and placed irr their stalls, left Green to put the blankets on them. Mr. Hinchman had just got in­ to the house and taken off his over­ coat when a couple of boys who*were playing around the barn ran into the nouse with the news that one of the horses had kicked John, and that they thought he was hurt.’ Manager Wade hurried to the barn and fouhd Green prostrate on the floor. He procured assistance and carried him in the house and sent for Dr. L. F. Weaver, who hastily arrived, and after an ex­ amination found that both legs were broken, the left one below the knee and the right one at the knee, and that both of them were bad breaks. He reduced the fractures as quickly as possible and left him in as comfort­ able a position as could J>e expected. The accident, as Mr. Green tells It, was this way: He was in the act of throwing the blanket on the horse, standing at the-side of the horse oppo­ site his hind legs, when, without warn­ ing or provocation, it let both feet fly sidewise like a cowkick, each hoof striking a leg with terrible force, knocking him down and rendering him helpless. * Mr. Green is a single man about sixty years of age, has no home or money and the. accident will be a blow to him. He was a cripple before tills accident happened, however, inas­ much as the knee joint in one leg was stiff, having been broken before and not properly set.

The instigators of it are men made up of the right kind of material, and roan who have been shining lights in qther similar organizations in the pant?—titllEe the first lodge was instituted at Detroit last April thirty-seven lodges in dif­ ferent parte of the-state have been in­ stituted and the membership is increas­ ing more rapidly than was ever ex­ pected by its promoters. Deputy Grand Commander A. J. Arnold of Detroit, has been in the village the past couple of weeks insti­ tuting a lodge of the order and through his untiring efforts and energy has succeeded in gaining a lodge here. A meeting was held at E. D. Mal­ lory’s office Wednesday night and the »_>_ .--------- a lodge formed and duly instituted ofliceres were elected as follows: Commander—F. M. Weber. . Provost—Ernest Pennock. Warden—C. Spragu.. Chaplain—E. D. Mallory. Notary—C. L. Walratli. Treasurer—C. H. Walrath. Messenger—Herb Brown. Inner Guardian—Wesley Moore. Outer Guardian—H. W. Walrath.

Tiie Cass City Gazette gi’res a full column to a description of the recent ---------improvements which1 our friend Wal­ — r--------------- --------lace Heller has put on his excellent roller mill. The success which he has made since leaving Vermontville is due io his steady business habits and his indomitable will, his determina- tiop to give the very best service to his customers and treat them with that noblest politeness which is one of his leading characteristics-. To show the appreciation of his friends for the efforte he has made to please them we quote the closing paragraph of the ex­ cellent article:—“Mr. Heller has ex­ pended over *3,000 within the past month in fitting up the mill and get­ ting it in its present condition, and we consider it no more than. just that our business men and citizens in gen­ eral do all they can to help repay him for the pains he has taken, rejnemberlng that there ir not another institution In the village which brings as much trade to our town as does this one enterprise, trade coming as it does from a radius of 15 miles dis­ tant. Mr. Heller is to be compliment­ ed upon the remarkable success with which he is meeting. Would that our town had a few more business men with the push and enterprise of Mr. Heller.’’—Vermontville Echo. CHARITY AT HOME. The comparatively mild weather thus far this winter has been a boon to those upon whom the purchase of fuel rests as a burden, and while we believe there are very few heads of families and self dependent men in Nashville who have been unemployed in some way or another in the village, there are without doubt some, who have suffered more or less for the want of the necessities of life, and now th*at the most rigorous winter weather has set in .see to it that none of your neigh bora, who have been less fortunate in life than yourself, suffer for those things which tend U> make them warm and comfortable. No town should allow the impression that it is a re­ fuge for the indolent poor, and no prouder record could be desired ,by any town, than that during the winter season not one of its worthy poor hod suffered for the actual necessities of life. Give a little in a quiet way to those who are in need and if they" are worthy of your philanthropy you will be blessed not only by the recipients but by all mankind. MORE TROUBLE. A certain few people in and around the village have had.for some time {last a disposition to pester and make ife miserable to a certain young lady, and although she has pleaded with them and even appealed to their com­ mon sense and decency time and time again and besceched them to leave her alone, they are constantly at it, writ­ ing her anonymous letters, talking about her, etc. until the girl’s mind is in danger of becoming impaired. We think, knowing the circumstances, that it is about time they were stopped and we are also imformed that unless their proceedings are deferred at once the matter will go into the courts. Why is it, that some people's mings are so corrupted and jealous that it becomes their highest ambition to de­ ride and slander innocent people? They pounce down upon you like a vulture and if you are not wary, in time they will have your morals so that’ they will not badly punctured that be'recognized as morals. PROD HIM. A NERVY AERONAUT THE FRIGHTFUL FALL OF. CHAS. WOLCOTT RECALLED BY THE NEW YORK WORLD. VIVID PICTURE OF HIS FALL. An Accident Which Would OrdinjrProve Fatal. Mr. Wolcott Slowly Regaining the use of His Limbs. Chas. Wolcott, a Nashville, Mich., map, laughed at physicians who told him he must die, says the New York World. He said he would fool them, and he has kept his word. . When he was lying on a cot in the hospital in Caracas, Venezuela, unable to move his body, the surgeons shook their heads and wondered that he persisted in living. He puffed contentedly on his cigarette- and declared that he in­ tended to resume balooning in a few months. He never gave up hope, and he laughed at the doctors. His triumph over death is a modern ’ miraele. He made his plans to return to his peril­ ous occupation as soon as he could leave the Hospital, and he is now pre­ paring to carry them out. He is small, slender and vigorous. His wife was killed in 1895, and in the fall of that year he went to Venezuela, intending to return to fill an engage­ ment in Massachusetts the following spring. He made an ascension from Villa de Cura on Oct. 28. When 3,000 feet in the air he made a leap from his trapeze, holding Vie parachute. Ashe sped downward he was horrified to find that the ropes had become tangled and cemented with mud. and the para­ chute failed to open. He dashed down with fearful rapidity, holding his legs rigidly straight, his toes pointed down­ ward. Within 50 feet of the ground the parachute began to open. ’• Wolcott’s legs bent under him and befell, a mass of mutilated flesh and bone. His ankles, knees atjd hips were dislocated, there wpre half a doz­ en of his bones fractured, and his spinal column was injured. He was taken to a hospital at Caracas. ’Wol­ cott was paralyzed from the waist down, and life was almost gone. As he did not die the Venezuelan surgeons humored him by some minor operations. He kept on improving and was finally sent to New York, where he entered St. Luke’s hospital last April. A great operation was preformed in July of last year and it was announc­ ed that he might recover. His spinal column was laid open with a knife for nine inches. The ease surrounding the spinal cord was found to be only slightly injured. Tlxe pressure upon the spinal cord was removed, several small bones were cut and then Wol­ cott began to regain his strength. While his legs were paralyzed he was practicing-with his arms. A trap­ eze-like arrangement had-been placed over his bed and by the use of his arms he could raise his body and slightly relieve the pain of the sores. He is impatient for the time come when he can resumebaloon ascensions. He is at present in New York and letters to his parents here state that he is slowly improving and gaining somewhat the use of his lower limbs. Wolcottswas for two years in the employ of Aeronaut Bartholomew, of Jackson, Mich., who says that he was a remarkably bright and energetic man. His wife and sister-in-law were both killed while making ascensions. NUMBER 22 J. M. VanNocker started Tuesday morning on a western trip in the in­ terest of the P. H.

Miss Zulah Buck’s Sunday school class met at her home last Tuesday evening and partook of a beefsteak supper. While seated at the table a flash light picture was taken by Orson VanNocker, a member of the class. If you want business don’t be afraid to ask for it.

Drs. Young and Copfortjwere called to Woodland last Friday and per­ formed an operation bn Mrs. Andy ‘ Broombaugh of Van Wert. Ohio, for appendicitis. Mrs. Broombaugh is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Laurence Geiser and was visiting them when she was taken ill. The operation was highly successful. The Musical Comedy Co. opened at the opera house Tuesday evening to a small house, but since have been ac­ corded better houses, which they truly deserve. There are but four *in the company but they put up a show as good as a larger company.

Pretty blamed col£ weather to be tipped out of a cutter, us will be attest­ ed by .Hank Offley, who was. uncermoniously precipitated into the cold, wet snow Monday while on his way to town. He had caught up with Philip Dalhauser nearW.A. Smith’s farm and was passing him, when his eutter came in contact with some part of Mr. Dalhauser‘s bobs and was upset. Fortunately Hankjs horse was a sober one and did not make matters worse, as is usually the case. Battle Creek is agog with a scandal involving two prominent people of that city, E. C. Bacon and Mrs. Eli Coon, who were arrested at Jackson Sunday afternoon on a charge of adultery preferred by the husband of Mrs. Coon. Bacon and Coon were intimate friends, both belonging to the same secret organizations, and Coon being an employee of the Marsh steam pump company, of which concern Ba­ con is an officer. Bacon’s wife died the first day of this month. Au effort is being made to have the matter dropped, but Coon declares he will never drop it until Bacon is punished lor his crime. The ‘improvement of Grand River by the United States government, and the prospect of its waters again being navigated by regular lines of steam­ ers, oring back to the minds of the pioneers many stories of its former greatness. Previous to the war it was coverd with large steam packets betweed Grand Rapids and Grand Haven. Daily boats also made trips between Grand Rapids and Lyons, Ionia, Saranac and Lowell. In those days the shores were dotted with In­ dian wigwams. The boats carried many passengers and were invested with gamblers and adventurers that lived by fleecing the pioneers. Among the most notorious of these highway­ men was “Lish” Henry, who not only gambled ori'the river boats, but with confederates robbed and plundered the settlers along the river, and mur­ dered inoffensive Indians as a pas­ time.—Grand Ledge Independent. ’.Vm. Storrs, the man arrested on the charge of swindling a farmer near Albion on a patent right scheme, was turned over to a Mt. Clemens officer by order of Prosecuting Attorney Lockton of Calhoun county.

The galleries were crowded at an early hour. Unexpectedly Senator Hanna appeared nt the opening of the scssion. Mr. Foraker, the senior Senator from Ohio, presented Mr. Hanna** cre­ dentials for the remainder of Mr. Sher­ man's term.* He escorted his collengne to the desk, where Vice-President Hobart administered the outh. At the conclusion of the morning busi­ ness Mr. WolCott begnn his address. He was in fine voice and commanded the earnest attention of his auditors. At the conclusion of the speech Mr. Wolcott was Instantly surrounded by his Republican colleagues, desirous of tendering to him congratulations. At the conclusion of Mr. Wolcott’s speech the Immigration bill was taken up nnd dlscusju-il until 3 o’clock, the hour nt which, by previous agreement, it had been arranged to vote finally upon the amend­ ments and the bill. An amendment offered by Mr. Spooner of Wisconsin providing that the ability on the part of the iuunigrant either to road or to write should be accepted as a sufficient test of bis lit­ eracy was adopted. Another amendment by Mr. Spooner providing thnt the members of the family accompanying the Im­ migrant rejected under the conditions o! the bill should be returned to the country whence they came by the steamship com­ panics wsis also adopted. Other efforts wore made to amend the measure, but failed. The bill was then passed by a vote of 45 to 28.

BIG MILL STRIKE IS NOW ON. Cotton Operatives Refuse io Accept A reduction in the wages of 125,000 op­ eratives employed in nearly 150 cotton mills in Now England, which the manafactureta decided upon as a temporary remedy" for the depression in the cotton goods industry of the North, went into effect Monday morning. In six of the mill centers, namely. New Bedford, Biddeford, Saco, Fall River, Fitchburg and Lewiston, 10,745 mill hands struck. The twenty-two mills of the former city, which gave employment to ^,730 hands, were shut down because the operatives have refused to accept the reduction, aud the strike thus inaugurated promises to be one of1 the most protracted and stubbornly contested iu the history of the textile industry. The operatives are fighting for the abolition of the fining system, in addition, to a restoration of wages. There was no violence about the mill gates, and no large gatherings ou the The 3,500 employes at the Laconia and Pepperell mills nt Biddeford refused to go to work under the new schedule and It is thought the strike there will not be settled easily. About 1,600 of the work­ ing force nt the York mills in Saco went on strike aud those mills will be closed. The Androscoggin mills at Lewiston and the King Philip plant in Fall River were hnndicapited by a strike of a number of the hands nnd the Queen City mills of Burlington, Vt., are closed on account of a strike which followed the posting of notices of a reduction. In Fitchburg 225 employes of the Nockege mills struck, and in the King Philip mills at Fall River 1.100 quit. In Burlington 300 are out and in Lewiston 1.200 struck.

The assurance to the American people thnt their contributions would be distrib­ uted in Cuba was simply the assurance of the President of the United State*, who la conscious of his right and power to see that It is mode good. President McKin­ ley bus indulged in no threat against Spain.' He has simply assured the Americon people that he will see that their contributions are distributed to the starv­ ing Cubans. Those who have watched developments believe that this will be by intervention with force. tation, for be thinka'the discoveries that bare been developed are worth $100,000,­ 000 a year to the people of the' United States. . The experiments were undertaken is Page County, Iowa, Inst spring, where several hundred hogs that were afflicted with a disease that bn's until dow beea considered fatal, were cured by the ua» of serum, and several hundred more that were perfectly healthy-when protected by the serum were permitted to range freely among those that were diseased without showing any effects from fire contagion. Eighty-five per cent of the sick were cured and the healthy protected. Similar experiments have been going on In Ne­ braska all summer, but the detailed re­ turns have hot been received. The senins is obtained iu the same manner as the an­ titoxin that is used for diphtheria. A horse or’a cow is inoculated with the genus day after day until no effect is ap­ parent. Its veins are. then tapped, a few drop* of its blood injected under the skin of healthy hogs has the same effect as a preventive of cholera that vaccina­ tion has in smallpox. There was scarcely a failure in' several hundred cases, al­ though the animals were exposed to the disease in every possible manner. Thu same treatment was equally successful in curing the disease when taken iu the early stages. Curiously enough, the cultivation of the scrum does not injure the horse or the cow,'and the nnimal can be used over and over again every year until it become* aged, provided it is given plenty of those forms of fodder that supply and strength­ en the blood. A single horse or cow will produce 1,000 doses of serum a year, and, if ordinary economy is practiced, thia win reduce the cost of treatment to 10 or 15 cents per hog. Hundreds of thousands of horses throughout the United State* that are now killed for their hides may be used to save the hogs, and their value will be increased by the demand thua created for them. The method of culti­ vating the serum can be taught at all the agricultural experiment stations and on the large stock farms, and with a little experience farmers may be able to furnish their own supply. The county agricul­ tural societies can take up the matter, and by co-operation their members can reduce the cost and extend the usefulness of the treatment. Secretary Wilson estimates the annual loss from hog cholera in the United State* from $90,000,000 to $100,000,000. In the State of Iowa alone, vthere statistics of the mortality of the animals afflicted with this disease have been accurately kept, the annual loss is $15,000,000. He be­ lieves that nearly - al! this can be i»revented. In 1892 there were 52,398,010 swine In the United States, valued at $295,426,­ 402. Tijat was high-water mark. Since then their number and value have been materially decreased by the cholera, and the figures for 1897 were 40.600,276 hogs, valued at $160,272,770. These hogs are worth an average of $5.84 each. Iowa is the largest hog State in the country, the census of 1897 showing 3,737,070 ani­ mals, valued at $21,182,330. Missouri comes next, then Texas, Ohio, Ulinoia^ Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, Missis­ sippi and other of the Southern State*. There was a decrease of 5.7 per cent in the number and 10.9 in the value of hog* in the United States last year. . RESIGNATION OF DR. HALL- Surprise Over the Wealthy Minister** Retirement I* General.

There wm such a bitter sense of not Itaving been treated as her love had the wight to expect iu her voice, thnt the dull­ est person must have recognized it. "Oh, Evelyn, how could IT* answered Jkgncts without raising her head. "Jas■per—tintt is, Mr. Lyle—only spoke to papa * week ugo, and then I thought it would be so much nicer to surprise you by com­ ing'home and telling you myself. And if I had written to you. about it, I Ahouldu't have known what to say." “But you have never even mentioned Mr. Lyle's name vo me, Agnes. How long have you known him?" “About six weeks or two months. Wc met him in Rome during the Carnival The Spencers introduced him- to us, and he took auch a fancy to me, Evelyn, that he baa traveled with ns ever since." “1 will learn to love him, too, for your wake, darling, though he does threaten to take my little Agnes from me," cried Miss Bayne, as she burst into tears. “But. Evelyn, dear,” said the younger •girt, when they could talk calmly again, “why should you be afraid that Mr. Lyle will not make me happy? It’s the usual thing for girls to marry, isn’t it? Yon don't want me to be an old maid like Aunt Sophy? You will marry yourself some day, Evelyn." “No, darling, never!” said Miss Rayne, wehemently. “But why not? Don’t you like men? T>o you menu to live all your life alone at Mount Eden? Surely not! It would l»e so very dull. Mamma says you ought to have married years ago." “Your mamma judges me from the uau-al feminine standpoint, Agnes, and I am not like other women. Sometimes I think I havc-mnch more the mind and feelings of a man. The care of my property is enough to occupy my life. I don’t want any interference with it or myself." “But some one who loved' you very much, Evelyn,” whispered Agnes, out of !ber new-born experience, “would help and •not binder you. Wouldn't it la* very sweet to have all the trouble taken off your hands, and to have no bother and no anx­ iety? Sometimes I think---- ’’ “Well, darling?” •That there is a reason why you have never married, Evelyn; that there is some one you are fond of, and something has prerented you marrying him." “There was someone," replied Evelyn, with a solemn look in her sad eyes. “Ia he dead?” interrupted her compan­ ion, in a tone of awe. “No, Agnes, no! I am certain that he Is not dead—something iu my heart tells me ho, but in all the wide, wide world, I do not know where he may be uow. My poor Will!” “Tell me nl>out it, Evelyn," said Agnes, nestling close to her. "Ah, darling, it is the trouble of my life. He was willful and high-spirited, like many other young men, and he of­ fended uncle terribly. He was so augry with him that he ttirucd him out of his office. and though I Itegged for his forgjvcnc-t.s on my knees, he wofild not take him back again. And then Will went to America—what chance was there left him in England?—and I have never heard of him since.” “Never heard of him since! Didn't he -write to you ?” “No. dear: he didn't even write. For ten years there has been total silence be­ tween us. But he will come back some day. I feel sure of that. It is all I nm waiting for—to see Will again before 1 • die.” Miss Featherstone was silent. She was not a clever girl, but ahe hud sufficient •enae to wonder at her friend's credulity. To go on waiting for and expecting the rc• turn of a lover who hnd not written for • ten years, seemed a very simple thing to • do. And Jasper had sworn that if they were separated, he should send her a let­ ter every day. After a pause she, said ■ timidly: “And if he shouldn’t come back, Eve4yi>—if—if—be should be dcadF* - ~“flc will come, dear—bo is not dead," replied Miss Rayne confidently. “Have I not already told yon that I have a con­ viction on the suhjecL too deep to be un­ true?

Suppose, after all, you shouldn’t like him?” Evelyn drew the girl into her embrace, she kissed her fondly. As tliey disengag­ ed thenuelvcs again, they saw a figure standing beside them in the dusky hall. It was Mr. Lyle, himself, who seemed to have caught the infection of Agnes' anx­ iety. and wished to get the Introduction to Miss Rayne over before they encountered the many eyes of scrutiny iu the drawing room. "Oh, here is Jasper,** cried Agues, with n gasp. “Jasper, this is my dear friend and sister. Evelyn Rayne. Don't be for­ mal with her. Shake bands at once, and let me feel khat you are going to be friends." "1 am quite willing for my part to be the best of friends,” said Evelyn cordial­ ly. ns she extended her hand. Mr. Lyle took it. but for^i moment he did not speak. Then he answered, with more decided French accent than usual— "I am happy, also, to make the ac­ quaintance of one so dear to Agnes.” Evelyn’s first view of Agnes’ lover hnd been a genuine disappointment, Jasj»er Lyle was not manly enough to suit her taste. He looked more like a poet or a troubadour than a gentleman of the nine­ teenth century. And then his hybrid dress and manner of talking rather repuls­ ed her. She liked on Englishman to look and apeak like one. nnd she fancied there was some affectation in Mr. Lyle*; pro­ nunciation. and thnt it. was not wholly natural to him. When Agnes had at last drawn her into a conversation with him, Evelyn found her thoughts running in.the same channel.

He stammered ns be replied: “Yes—no. That is to say, my mother was French, Miss Rayne; so you see, 1 nm only half English." “And you were educated abroad?” "I have lived there nearly all my life," he answered, with his face bent down. "And you must become English, you naughty boy." exclaimed his fiancee. “Do you know, Jasper, your pronunciation grows worse instead of better? I really think you are more French to-day than ever. Evelyn is staring with al! her eyes nt your accent. She never heard anyhxly speak ho badly before. Did you. Evelyn?" Miss Rayne was indeed staring in tho most unaccountable manner at the strang­ er. Her eyes seemed fixed in his direc­ tion, nnd when Agnes* laughing question recalled her to herself, she turned them in a dazed manner upon her. "Your friend does not like me. I had an intuition it would Is? so," whispered Mr. Lyle to his -betrothed, under cover of the general con versa tion. "Talk, talk. Evelyn!" cried Agnes gay­ ly, after a little while. "What has come to you this evening, darling? You—who are generally so full of life. Havtryou nothing to say to us after so long an ab­ sence ?” “What shall I say?” exclaimed Evelyn, rousing herself nt the challenge of her friend. “You are the queen of the feast. Agnes, aud should lead the conversation. It is really very embarrassing to be or­ dered to say something. May 1 make it a question? Have you ever liegn in Amer­ ica. Mr. Lyle*’ There was n tone in her voice that made Jasper Lyle dread he knew not what, nnd forced him to raise his eyes agninnt his will. It was the first time Evelyn hnd fairly met his gaze, nnd the room seemed to go round with her ns she encountered it. "I—have — not — been — to — America, mademoiselle," he answered slowly. “Have you not?" she naked again, with­ out removing her eyes from his. As they regarded each other thus. Mrs. Featherstone saw all the color die out of Mias Rayne's fresh cheeks, leaving them of an ashy paleness. "Evelyn, my__tl^rjrfr)." she cried, ris­ ing and passing round the table .to her as­ sistance, "what is the matter? Are you inr “I don't feel very well,’’ said Evelyn, in n strange voice. "It ia this sudden spring heat that always upsets me. With jenir permission. Mrs. Featherstone, I will leave the table nnd await your return in the drawing room.” Mrs. featherstone gave early notice of a retreat to the drawing room. As soon ns she had left the dining room behind her. Miss Rayne's lassitude gyve place to an eager excitement, which accorded strangely with her pale face and Insterless eyes. “Dear Mrs. Featherstone, do Jet me go home before the gentlemen leave their wine. Inded, I nm not well. It is im­ possible that I can sit out the remainder of the evening. Pray let me order my carriage and go nt once.” They did not oppose her decision, though Ague* insisted upon walking down also, with her arm fondly thrown about her friend's waist. Evelyn kissed her me­ chanically, and hade her good night as she mounted into her vehicle; but as soon as she had passed through the drive gates and Featherstone Hall was left behind her, all her enforced calmness gave way, and she sank back upon the cushions in a storm of grief. ~ CHAPTER XIV.

During the general debate Chairman Hitt of the Foreign Affair* Committee made nn impressive speech of les* than an hour, explaiiftng nt length the situation which made action by Congress inadvisa­ ble. He asserted that the President must assume the responsibility of»nny action which might eventuate in the war andap|>ealed to both sides of tbe chamber to patriotically support the executive if a crisis shall come. A sensational ending marked the third and lost day of tbe debate. Speaker Reed,-in unqualified words, stamped a* false an assertion made by Congressman Bailey, the floor leader of the Democrats, and turmoil ensued. Notice wn* given Wednesday by Mr. Williams (dem.. Miss.) that at the con­ clusion of the debate Thursday a motion would be made to recommit the diplo­ matic and consular appropriation bill, the basis of dispute, with instructions.

Mr. Bailey thereu|>on startled the House by affirming that he-hod toprivnte understanding with the Speaker by which a vote should Im* taken directly on the motion to recommit.

Mr. Smith’ of Michigan, who said he was present, corroborated the Speaker’s side of the case.

There is no question thnt the bitterest feeling against Gen. Blanco and auton­ omy is entertained in eomgrrratiyp circles' and aipong the volunteers nnd in thr ar­ my. The volunteer officers arc open in expressions of hostility, and the regulars are no less hostile, but are generally more guarded In their utterances. A regular officer said thnt Gen. Blanco would have to go, and If the regulars are onlcred to fire on the volunteers or peo­ ple be believed they would refuse tn obey. Several officers and men have notified Gen.

The'stockholders were recently appraised of a 15 per cent dividend and the patrons were pleased with the announcement that a quarter of a- cent would be knocked from tho price of making butter. Every farmer should see that his burns and their contents are insured. Nearly every day the daily papers contain accounts of tires in rural dis­ tricts, barns and contents and out­ buildings, and in some cases the whole season's crop going up in smoke without a cent of insurance, leaving the unfortunate farmer penniless. Fire and insurance are two things that should never be neg­ lected. The cost is trifling compared with the benefits in case of accident. From the best reports we hear it is true that Sanford J. Truman sells more groceries for >1.00 than any man in town. He sells, they tell us over here at the office, Lion or XXXX coffee for 10c, Lenox soap, 9 bars for 25c. Granulated sugar he has put back to 181b. for 91.00, and the best oil he sells for 9c. Well, he advertises and why should’nt he do business?

The coffee is pro­ nounced satisfactory both in yield and flavor and the growing of the berry is becoming quite popular. .From thirty plants one women secured enough coffee to last her family near­ ly a year, and other crops In like pro­ portion. The grains are said to be brown and^hard and when roasted and ground make an excellent coffee. Those who have used home grown cof­ fee are at loss to find any which suits them as well. Why don’t some of our farmers try this. The suit of the state of Michigan against the Michigan Central and the Lake Shore railroads brought by Governor Pingree lo compel those roads to issue 1.000 mile books for $20 is now on trial In Detroit. Mr. Pin­ gree tendered $20 to each of the above roads for a mileage book and the companies refused' to issue them, claiming they were working under sjiecial charters and did not come under the law which affected other railroads of the state, and they re­ fused to grant the request.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson is becoming alarmed at the rapid spread of tbe San Jose scale, and isqonsidering the matter of establishing a rigid quarantine against it. The scale is a minute parasite that clings to the bark of fruit trees’? It made its first appear­ ance in the United States at San Jose. Cal., hence its name. Tbe scale is produced rapidly, and it usually ruins the trees to which it becomes attached. It has been carried on California oranges to every part of the earth, and tiie German horticulturists are making vigorous protests against its introduction into their country. They claim that it threatens the prosperity of the fruit growers of Germany, and they have appealed to the government lo establish anembargo against fruit, plants and trees of every kind from the United States.

Regarding the procuring of bonds­ men in the case of Vern Martin re­ ported in last weeks News and which It apjiears were gotten apparently easy, the bondsmen wish to say, after considerable hesitancy did they be­ come security for the young man's appearance at the circuit court, not through any sympathy for the young man if guilty a> charged, or because they countenanced in the smallest de­ gree such conduct on the part of any. Neither were they forgetful of the symI>athy due the girl and her parents, •nt solely through sympathy for Mrs. Martin, who like any mother believes in the professed innocence of her son, and prays to be spared the mortifica­ tion and disgrace of her son’s im­ prisonment previous to his guilt being established by the court.

Disgraced ami shamed by a maudlin husband before maudlin friends, Mrs. Grace Higgins of St. Louis decided-it were better to seek death than continue to live. Mrs. Higgins is 31 years old. The charge she places against her hus­ ' band has shocked the city. The latter Is stage manager of n local theater. Hig­ gins had been drinking. He returned home late, bringing a party of friends with him. His wife was sick in bed. Hig­ gins asked her to get up and dance. After much talk she did so. recalling a dance she had learned in other days. The com­ pany was pleaked and boisterously de­ manded the hoochl-coochi. She refused. "Get up and dunce," said her husband. “1 cannot," she answered. "Haven't I danced enough?" "Get up and dance.” he repeated savagely. "We want the hoochi-coochi, and It goes." Wearily the woman tottered from her bed. She danc­ ed until her eyes fai-ly started from their sockets. At the end she was fainting. "I was heartsick and body sick," she said nt the hospital, "and decided to make an end of It all." ____ • DUTY MAY B* REPEALED.

Charged that He Permitted Gross Fra nd ■ in Construction of the Brook­ lyn Dry Dock-A Reserve Army to Be Mobilized in Canada. He Faces Dismissal. Two specific charges upon which Civil Engineer Menocal is to be tried by court martial next month have already been drawn by the judge advocate general of the navy at Washington, the substantia­ tion of either involving dismissal from the service. The first is that of sulpable negligence in the performance of duty, under which fall nt least ten specifica­ tions. every one fortified by the most dam­ aging evidence. The second charge so fnr formulated is that of neglect of duty, and under this at least a dozen instances nre specified. They relate to the demon­ strable gross frauds practiced directly un­ der the inspection of Mr. Menocal, not on occasions when he wan temporarily ab­ sent from the scene of operations or when n subordinate was tilling the inspector’s place; not when Mr. Menocal was in Flor­ ida. or during any of his frequent visits to New York City, but when, It is assert­ ed, he was in direct charge of the constructlon^of the Brooklyn dry dock and actually witnessing the progress of the contractor. The efforts of the naval legal authorities, however, have not ended with drawing the first two charges with their specifications and collating the testimony to secure conviction upon them. Assist­ ant Judge Advocate General Laucheimer, who has been in Brooklyn working up the case and examining the evidence dug out of the mud by Constructor Bowies, has softie time in which to. complete his pre­ sentation for the prosecution,- and it is strongly intimated thnt before that period expires he will charge collusion between the Government inspectors and the con­ tractors.

As there has been some trouble in regard to tbe union cemetery. of Maple Grove, Baltimore, Johnstown and Assyria, and false reports have been circulated, and some tre still on the wing, I thought it proper to make a statement in print, as some of them are too erroneous to let pass by, as 1 am doing official business for the town 1 deem it proper that the public should know something with regard tG It, and to correct, if possible, some of these errors, as tbe trouble was most­ ly between the sexton and myself, he coming to me on the evening of tbe 30lh of November and we settling the matter, I thought they would cease, but behold! it brought fourth a new one beyond all reason or good common sense. To publish the whole details would be too lengthy at this time, but when the people desire It the supervisors of the four townships can be called out and a public meeting called and I will make a statement with the sexton of tbe affair. He came to me ou tbe 26 day of November, if I mistake not, and said tbe report had gone out that be bad forfiidden me digging Mary Ford's grave and peddling it on the streets of Nashville with others missrepresenting him. I replied that if tbe streets of Nashville ran through Brattin’s hardware store then I pub­ lished it on tbe streets. There was a man in the store that Inquired of me about the matter and I told him. He asked me if I would arbitrate. I told him I would and we set the time. After the settlement some of my good friends^ot up a preparation for me and made a mistake of tbe symptoms of the case and the dose was too large I could cot swallow It, but I am stl'l alive. I give tbe item that I went to tbe sexton and apologized, tbe dose was too heavy for a man nqt oig the sick slst. The dose is yet running at large, I now will return it with interest if any desires to know where it came from. The Apostle James in the 3d chap., b verse, says, “and the tongue is afire, a world of iniquity, so is tbe tongue among our members, that it defiletU the whole body and setteth on tire the course of nature and is set on tire of Hell.’’ Once before I bad one similar to this. Now friends where was that apology made, and please tell me what it was? I should be pleased to know all about it, rorl am Ignorant on this line. Please inform me how you came by this prescription. If 1 mistake not I was there myself at the time of settlement. To be line about it, it took place in the basement of my barn on one of my bobs. I went out to milk and the sexton went with me and fixed it up. No one was nearer than the bouse that I knew of. I am prepared to state to tbe pub­ lic that I am nut ashamed of anything that I done in this matter and could do the same right over again. I would like to have you (frat know, tell when and where I went to tbe sexton. If I did I must be like a man that I beard less than two years ago, describe his absentruindedness. He went on a Journey and took bls wife, and left ber part way. He got into a political discussion coming back and forgot that he had u wife until be got his horse put out, and if I remember right got bis shoes off: hence another trip. My friends, if I have any apology running at large please Inform me. And further, let me state before you get another prescription for me, please get tbe symptoms, of the case first and then go to a drug store where you can procure a few grains of truth. I had hoped that there would be no more re­ ports of that nature started after the settlement, but I was mistaken for I keen hearing of this one, hence the cause of this writing. If any of you have got so mixed up that'you cannot get things right, please come to me and 1 think I can belfr you. (Please remember the sexton done no forbid­ ding.) P. S. If any want to know why I dug Mary Ford’s grave please call on T. J. Ford. ' Yours, E. F. Moody. COMMUNICATION.

Editor News: I would like to say a few words th rough-your paper in regard to the trouble now pending in school district No. 4 in Maple Grove. The teacher of this district would not be here now drawing ber pay through protest if sbe had done as she agreed to do when sbe was given tbe contract to teach t-be winter term. There was dissatis­ faction when she was hired for tbe winter team, l>at sbe begged so bard and pleaded so pitifully to tbe school board that they finally consented to try ber again, after getting a promisc upon her honor that she would quit the school at any time when the district board became dissatisfied with her as teacher. The board very soon had occasion to ask her to quit tbe school. Again she asked and i gained consent to remain and teach Pat’s Triplets Pat was poor, making only $1 a day and bis good wife presented him with triplets. He was trying to figure out how in the world he going to feed so many mouths when a neighbor dropped in, slapped Pat on the back and said, “’Arrali Pat, I’m thinkin' ye fale phroud. I’ll bet ye wouldn’t take tin thousand dollars for thim triplets.” Pat looked sad and replied, “well, begorry. maybe I wouldn’t but to tell the truth, I wouldn’t give tin cints for three more like ’em. It is tbe same way with our winter stock. We paid the price for it last fall but we wouldn’t give “tin cints”,for a fall stock in the spring. That is the reason winter goods for the next thirty days can be bought cheap. Sample Prices on Winter Goods. Women’s Fascinators sold for 40c, Must go price.............................

The school board was so certain that she would respect her promise that they engaged another teacher for the following Monday. But when the time came for her to step out she positively refused to do so. The board did not hire her for any specified length of time, but hired her by the day so, as they understand it, they could dismiss her whenever they saw fit. We were somewhat amused when we read her letter in last week’s issue: she referred to her man}’ friends in this community. We ask her to pub­ lish the names of her special friends in her next communication. We do not wish to be understood that she has no friends, for we never knew or heard of anybody who didn't have some friends.

Captain I’hilip. One should stand by and see a fellow-creature go down without holding out a hand?" '•Oh, no. The opportunity to save is there, therefore it should be taken advan­ tage of." . "Then if one of my acquaintances had enga/ ja servant whom I knew to be a thi(«,hRnould I nnt be justified in telling the truth about him?'” . “Certainly, if he had not left off being a thief." (To be continued.) FAST TRAINS ARE SAFEST. They Are the Special Favorites, and Extra Attention is Given Them. George Ethelbert Walsh contributes au article on “Running the Fust Ex­ press" to St. Nicholas. Mr. Walsh says: • When the Empire State Express, or the Congressional Limited, rushes across the country at the rate of sev­ enty miles nn hour, making mile-posts and trees skip by In fttntastlc disorder, the mind of many a passenger Is trou­ bled by a question thnt continually arises at every sharp sway or jolt of the 4*ars: “Is there not danger in such rapid traveling?" In his seat forward the engineer would reply grimly to this question with a negative shake of the bead, and the general superintendent of the road, or the train dispatcher In his office at headquarters, would second this an­ swer with a more emphatic “No." B« why? According to all the math­ ematical rules we learned at school and college, the faster a moving body swings along a certain course, the more difficult It Is to swerve It from Its path, and the more terrible Is the collision It It should strike an obstacle. Why, then. Is not rapid running more dangerous than slow? “Because the engines used for this servlet? are larger, better equipped, nnd better cared for than any others," the engineer would reply. •'They are provided with every modern device to prevent accident: and though they fairly fly along the track, they are never lieyouti our Immediate control. And thou—we're more wide awake and alert for danger.” ’The danger Is less for the reason that everybody along the Hue Is looking out for the rapid fliers,” would say the train dispatcher. "They have the right of way, and we always clear the tracks for the -expresses. They are special favorites, and we give extra caroFhl at­ tention to them." Shaker Horne Breaker. Logan County boasts one of the unique characters in Kentucky in the person of Lorenzo Pearcifleld, who since childhood • has been an honored member of the Shaker community nt South Union. Mr. Pearcifleld Is now close on to 70 years of age, and weighs about 300 pounds. Now, there are plenty of people In good old Logan who weigh near on to 300 pounds, and there are plenty of people In Ixigan County very much old­ er than 70 years, but It is these two at­ tributes combined with another .that distinguishes Lorenzo Pearcifleld. There is not another man In Logan or any other county, so far as known, who is 4V years old nnd weighs 300 pounds, who is noted as the most successful horse-breaker In his section. Yet this Is true of the colossal old Shaker. The secret of his success In this di­ rection seems to He in bis great strength and courage. He Is absolutely fearless, and almost as strong ns an or­ dinary horse. He lias a system all his own, which consists in first demon­ strating to tbe i>erfect satisfaction of the horse that he Is the master of tbe situation. To do this It Is sometimes necessary to throw the Irarse down ami sit upon bls head, which Mr, Pearci­ fleld does In the most approved style. After 300 pounds has sat «pon h'.s horaeship’s head for a little while he Is satisfied. Mr. Pearcifleld then hitches him to his little cart and drives about nnd looks at the country. So great Is his fame as a tamer of wild horses that the farmers for miles around bring him unmanageable horses to break, nnd none has tuiflled bls skill and strength. —Louisville Courier-Journal.

STATE OF MICHIGAN. OCCURRENCES DURING PAST WEEK*. THE Strike at a Bay City Shipyard—Blood­ hounds Frustrated un Attempt to Escape—Excited on the Coal Ques­ tion— Supposed Murder. Strike Against an Increase. Wheeler & Co.’s shipyard at Bay City has shut down, throwing 700 men out of work, as a result of the riveters refusing to accept a 7 per cent Increase in wages. The riveters bad been on strike several days; their object being to obtain the same scale of wages as that paid in 1895. When the riveters Cecliued the company's offer of increase the company resolved to dose the yard and endeavor to employ an entirely new force of workmen. The riv­ eters would have accepted the proffered increase had they not been required to sign an agreement not to act as a body bet m individuals and agree that the company retain 10 per cent of their wages as a for­ feit against quitting without its consent. Coal Fever in Michigan. Dxy, Saginaw and Shiawassee counties, comprising the bay district of Michigan, are In a fever of excitement over valuable coal discoveries. Small mines have been worked for years, but within the last few weeks a vein of superior quality has been discovered. Within thirty-six hours over 20,000 acres of coal land changed hands. Bay County seems to have the best of it so far. Capitalists ond experienced op­ erators are flocking in on every train and the excitement bids fair to develop into a craze. . Run Down by Bloodhonnda. Ed Hongland, n G-year convict sent from Grand Rapids for larceny, made his es-. cape from the Ionia penitentiary while working in the lumber yard north of tbe prison. The prison bloodhounds were placed on his trail nnd Hoagland was run down in the yard of James Hathaway. This is the first chance tbe officials have hnd to try the dogs on an escaped con­ vict. They took the scent nnd kept it, while'without them escape would proba­ bly have been successful. Millions for Insurance. Insurance Commissioner' Campbell is busily nt work making computations which will be the basis for his forthcom­ ing annual report. Thus fnr the results show thnt <11,007,325 wns paid out last yenr by citizens of Michigan for fire, life nnd accident insurance. This is more than three times as much ns the annual State tax levy and double the amount ex­ pended for the support of the schools. The total sum at risk is <920.000,000. Murder Near Benton Harbor. Charles Halliday, treasurer of Lincoln township, was found one morning recently with his throat cut from enr to ear, his right hand nearly cut off and a riflo ball through his heart. The rifle was lying beside him, and it wns thought he bad committed suicide, but the sheriff discov­ ered evidence of murder nnd is now Inves­ tigating. His accounts are all correct and no cause can be assigned for suicide. Street Ran with Beer. Samberg's brewery, ou Beers street. Port Huron, burned. It was valued at about $20,000, nnd is almost a total loss. Tbe origin of the lire la unknown, but it is thought started under one of the ket­ tles in the malt room. The building was partially covered by insurance. Beer flowed like water down the street when the big vats burst. Was Killed Instantly. August Seitz.'who lives on Cicotte ave­ nue, Detroit, was killed in the western yards of the Michigan Central Railroad. Mr. Seitz wns employed as n laborer about tbe yards where the freight trnifls are made up. and in avoiding a freight train he stepped in front of a passenger train and was instantly killed. Veteran Tired of Life. John Beatty, Company B, Third Michi­ gan Infantry, committed suicide by tak­ ing a dnse of morphine in his room nt the Hotel Grand, Grand Rapids.

Ward died in Detroit in 1875, leaving an estate valued at <5,000,(XM), but incumbered to the extent of <1,250,­ 000. A controversy ensued among the heirs over the settlement of the estate, some of them claiming that others had conspired with the executor, Orrin W. Potter of Chicago, nnd thereby acquired large sums by paying unjust claims and purchasing assets at much Jess than their face value. The diraatinfled heirs sued Executor Potter and the others for more than <1,000,000, The Supreme Court has datmiMed their hill. The Supervisor of An Sable township hns refused to spread any State nnd cotpi­ ty tax on the ttssessmeut roll and has gone to Idaho rather than do so. He and ail the other township officers are em­ ployes of the II. M. Loud & Sons Lum­ ber Company, which pays 90 per cent of the taxes of the township. The remain­ ing officials have refused to have the as­ sessment made and have indorsed the Supervisor's action.

The warahipM go to make friendly caila, after many years of staying away for fear of loaning the suspicious of Spain. The po­ lice sometimes make friendly calls at houses that are under suspicion, but they are always ready to show their authority if necensary. So it will be with Unde Sam's callers at Havana. They go with their best clothes, but the bunkers are filled with shot and shell, and with enough men on board to man every gun. If Spain receives these friendly callers in a friendly manner, they can drink tea, salute and d^uirt. Unde Sain has not waited for invitations. The warships will call at Havana whether they are welcome or not. They will call as the right of a friendly power, entitled to enter every port in time of peace. A Washington correspondent says there has been no international reason why our navy should have kept away from Cuban waters for the last two or three years. President Cleveland took extraordinary care not to offend Spain by allowing war­ ships to appear in Cuban waters without inv(|atiou. TRat policy has been followed until now, and the situation in Cuba has grown worse until to-day not only Amer­ ican citizens and American officials in Havana are in danger, but Gen. Blanco himself is not safe from his own army. That,policy hns been changed, aud or­ ders were sent to Admiral Sicard that the Maine should call at Havana. It will be only a friendly call if the situation in Havana warrants that interpretation. It will be a call for business, if necessary. The reports from Gen. Lee hare iiot been encouraging since the outbreak n week ago. Havana is a smoldering vol­ cano, ready to break out at any moment. Anarchy is the greatest danger, and an­ archy produced by Spanish soldiers. Gen. Lee's reports make it nlniort imperative The monetary conference which opened in IndianapoHs Tuesday afternoon was the result of a movement started by the Indianapolis Board of Trade a little more than one year ago. This commercial body took upon itself the inauguration of a movement whose primary purpose was monetary reform. Without any assurance that the object of its endeayor would be realized in a national sense, the Board ot Trade issued Invitations to commercial organization* ot the central west, which brought together the nucleus- on which Tuesday'* national convention rests. The cities sending representatives to the first conference were Cincinnati, Chicago, Cleveland, Columbus. Grand Rapid*, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Louisville, Milwau­ kee, Minneapolis, St. Paul and Toledo. This conference determined to call a gen­ eral convention of the trade nnd commer­ cial organizations of the country, to meet in Indianapolis Jan. 12, 1897, to consider the currency question In a non-partisan way.' In response to this call’there as­ sembled in Indianapolis ou the date nam­ ed 300 delegates, representing the busi­ ness interests of 108 cities in 27 State*. Following the instructions of this con­ vention a committee of eleven was select­ ed to formulate a currency reform pthn. After months ot evidence and discussion in Washington this committee completed its report, which wns made public Jan. 3. Tuesday’s convention, which was much larger than the first, was called for the purpose of submitting the plan nnd secur­ ing its adoption. The convention was welcomed to the State by Gov. James A. Mount. Leslie M. Shaw of Iowa presid­ ed, and C. Stuart Patterson submitted the report of the committee of election. BROWN ADMITS GUILT. Preacher Co—fc.*e* Immoral Conduct -to the Bay Conference.

The news that at Inst nn American ves­ sel is to l>e stationed at Havana was en­ thusiastically received in Washington. This move is obviously popular, since it offers protection to our citizens nnd in­ terests, and puts us in the field in case events should require the presence there of a strong force of American marines with big guns to back them. No wellinformed man in Washington expects war ns the direct outgrowth of such a trilling thing as the dispatch of a naval vessel to gnard American interests in Havana. Nor does nny well-informed man believe the Cuban problem is to be solved in any other • way than by virtue of the force and pres- I tige of this Government behind a de-1 mnnd that tbe war stop, the starving be fed and the homeless be sheltered, with the United States as an admitted and ed to shoot every highwayman seen.

OVER EIGHT THOUSAND AWAIT CONGRESSIONAL ACTION. The Outlook for Hawaiian and Cuban Legislation—Talk About Bankruptcy Measure — General Appropriation Bills to Be Cloacly Scaled. Now Hard at Work. Washington correspondence: CONGRESS is now well down to Its ___ work, and the process rSl|i of grinding out bills is in operation. Over 5.488 bills and 107 '■ ' ’ “* joint resolutions have been referred to the House committees, and 2,918 bills and 77 joint resolutions to (Senate committees. JThe calendars are hoppers Into which • the grist of the com’mlttees is thrown. jThe House has sent ’two of the great ap» propriation bills over ___ _ to the Senate. They carry 3162.000,000. ‘Eleven others arc to follow. These ap­ propriation bills nre the essential of leg­ islation Without them the Government is blocked. When the differences concern­ ing them have l»ecn settled by conference committees, and they have passed both house* and received the signature of the President, Congress will be ready to ad­ journ. It is evidently the intention of the lead­ ers in the House to scale tbe general ap­ propriation bills as closely as possible, and to force an adjournment at an early date. Under the rules other bills carrying ap­ propriations can be buried without allow­ ing them to come before the House." An appropriation bill is a privileged‘measure, and it is frequently used to shunt offen­ sive legislation from the track. It hns the right of way at all times, except when confronted by u contested election case or by a special order from the Committee on Rules. An appropriation bill can Switch a contested election case from the track at any time by a vote of the House, ■but it requires unanimous consent to set aside a’ special order after it has once been sanctioned by thq House. Bearing this in mind, the question of the annexation of Hawaii becomes interest­ ing. If the Senate fails to ratify tbe treaty by a two-thirds vote, a bill pro­ viding for its annexation will undoubted­ ly pass that body. If the leaders of the House are opposed to such a bill they can easily prevent its* consideration by the House. It may bo buried iu the Commit­ tee on Foreign Affairs; nnd if reported from that committee, there is no wqy in which the House can consider it. except by a special order from the Committee on Rules. The Cuban question is in a similar sit­ uation. The House is held up by an ap­ plication of its own rules. If three-quar­ ters of the members favor the recognition of Cuba, they would have no opportu­ nity to vote for it. The Senate resolu­ tion is still buried in the House Commit­ tee on Foreign Affairs. If this commit­ tee should report it favorably to the House it is in the condition of Lord I-ovell’s wife, who jumped into a box that closed with a spring. It could not come up for consideration without the usual special order. Once on the calendar, it might l>e called upon suspension day, pro­ vided the Speaker would consent to rec­ ognize a meml»er of the committee for this purpose. Then a two-thirds vote would pass it. Bankruptcy and Currency. There is much talk about a bankruptcy bill. The Committee on tbe Judiciary has reported n bill practically the same as tbe Torrey bill. Gen. Henderson of Iowa is the chainiinn of the Judiciary Committee. He is also a memln'r of the Committee on Rules. The bill will probably lie brought before the House by a special order. If this is done the friends of the Nelson bill will offer that ns a substitute, unless pre­ cluded by the terms ot the special order —another spring in the box. At all events, it seems safe to say that if the House passes any bankruptcy bill whatever this season it will be tbe bill reported from Gem Henderson’s committee. There is no probability, however, thnt such a Wil will pas* the Senate. It can be amended in thnt body so as to make it entirely un­ acceptable to the leaders in the House. Tbe differences between the two bodies nre apparently so great that they cannot be settled in conference. The same is true of a financial or a cur­ rency hill. Men of experience in both houses agree that there is no probability of the passage of any such measure this session. If n.Tessury, the appropriation bills may be used to send them awry. At all events, there will Im* no Sabine assimi­ lation. The situation wns aptly describ­ ed by Senator Thoms* H. Carter of Mon­ tana, who said that to ask the Senate to puss a financial bill based on the plan of the monetary commission would be like "squirting water against the wind." The Committee on Rivers nnd Harbors is in session and giving hearing* to those interested in such appropriations. It Is clear that an effort to pass a river and harbor appropriation bill will be made be­ fore the end of the session. Such a bill has the same privilege, under the rules, as the other appropriation bills, and is usually so framed that it can pass the House by a two-thirds vote on suspension day. without debate. This was the case In tbe last House, and this House is equal­ ly as eager on the question of internal im­ provement*. Another bill of importance is what is known as the antl-scnlping bill. It was brought before the House in the last Con­ gress under a special order from tbe "Coinm it tee on Rules. In the Fifty-fourth Congress it was put to sleep in the Senate. It* opponents had tbe benefit of the short session, when appropriation bills were crowding each other to the walk They used these bills to defeat it. They will have no such opportunity ta this session, for it is the long session, and Congress is not compelled to adjourn by the 4th of March. In strong contrast with this stand what are known as the letter car­ riers’ and postal clerks’ bills. Both have reached the calendars in previous Con­ gresses, but their friends have never been able to get a special order for their conaideration. Another bill attracting considerable at­ tention ia what ia known as the Loud bill. It revlue* the rates for *ecoDd-ciass mat­ President of the Hawaiian Republic now to Washington looking after th* ter in the mails, making stringent limita­ Irland’s annexation interests. tion* affecting the newspapers, and all periodical publication*. This proposRio* was brought before the House ou a spe­ cial order bat session, and will p-obably recelve similar treatment this session. Like the anti-*calping bill, it camo up last year ta the short sciudon, and was buried in the Senate. This year, however, it will have a free course, nnd the Senate wBI give it due consideration. * Another important measure is the im­ migration bill, better known a* the Lodge bill. It passed the House by a large votv at the short session last year, and was lost ta conference. It* fate will be different this year, as each house will have plenty of time . for its consideration. The bill has been shorn of some of its objectiona­ ble features, and the prospects are fair for its passage. WILL SEEK THE POLE. A Canadian, Captain Bernier, to Try Hi* Lack in tbe Frozen Arctic. Copt. J. E. Bernier of Quebec Is about to join the long list of men who have tried to find the north pole. On March 1 he will atart north with a party of eight. In­ cluding a surgeon and a geologist. The .expedition will head for the northern coast of Siberia, and then will begin the jour­ ney overland. The expedition will usa the ship Windward to reach, by aca, the northern coast of Siberia. This vessel is the one that was used by the English explorer, Jackson, on hi* recent arctic journey. Bernier expects to reach- the pole by means of dogs, and be believes be will be able to make about six mile* a day in thia CAPT. J. E. BKR.KIF.lt. fashion. After landing he is assured* be can reach tbe pole in about 120 days, or four months. He expects to abandon the Windward after landing, and to make the journey home by way of Spitsbergen. Bernier is going north with provisions to Inst him for two years. Reindeer will be taken along to enable the party to nsethem for meat in case of necessity. Bernier has carefully studied the expe­ rience of former explorers, and he believes that with the proper establishment of food stations on tbe route he will be able to reach the pole without danger. IN AN ICY GRASP. Great Damage Wrought by Saow, Frost nnd Wind in Chicago. Chicago was on Sunday a wrecked but a beautiful city. From underneath a taggle of telephone, telegraph aud trolley wires its streets and rooftops sparkled white, while every tree stood out agaiast tbe blue of the sky like a diamond cluster aglow in a turquoise setting. Ruin itself was not hideous, fur tbe sun gilded the ley coating of the fallen wires, as well oa tbe interlacing snow and frost fringes of twigs and branches. Dawn looked upon a city as isolated from the world as if it lay lock­ ed in the heart of the arctic zone. It was walled at its outskirts by banks of snow which blockaded every suburban street car line and furnished picturesque resting places for broken telegraph poles and miles of twisted, useless wire. Chicago suffered more than any other city included in a territorial storm area extending from Wyoming, Dakota. Min­ nesota, Wisconsin and Iowa on the west and north to Pcnuaywanla and New York, on the east. Railroad\ind Western Unio» telegraph autiiorities'agreed in the state­ ment that the destruction of their line* was confined practically to the edge of the city circle. No lines were affected*beyond a radius of 100 miles from Chi­ cago, few beyond one of twenty-live. Demoralization of telegraph service caused the principal trouble fur railroads centering in Chicago and seriously inter­ fered with the movement of trains. On many of the lines the wires were com­ pletely disabled and train dispatching came to a standstill until dispatchers could< be sent front the main offices to outlying stations, .where the communication was not so badly hampered. But the havoc, wrought among tbe wires was not the only trouble that was met by the railroads. The heavy snowfall and consequent wretched condition of the bracks delayed trains and added an element of danger to their operation. Chicago was for hours cut off telegraph­ ically from nearly all the principal cities of the .country, and the storm's havoc af­ fected the city telephone and fire alarm service to the point of temporary disable­ ment.

Nobddy in the factory hnd ever given her so much as a sympathetic glance; the whirr of wheels, the grind of machinery, the everlasting hum of moving belts and singing of spindles do uot encourage sym­ pathy. and besides Meg was quiet, even timid, and her companions. after the first day of now and then n half curious, half critical inspection, paid no attention to M And yet Meg’s ‘‘trouble’’ had been a romance; a sort of a Hower which blooms •omctimes along the hedgerows with the ■ame beauty nnd sweetness ns in the con■ervatory.

Mm. life had been nn uneventful one. Meg was ignorant, her “schooling’’ har­ ing been encompassed by a six months’ a grammar School in the neighborhuod, and for which ‘’educational au•vantage’ ahe had toiled for the mistress of the boarding house until her health threatened to. give way under the strain. But since somebody, back in the past of Meg’s unknown ancestry, had sent a drop of ambitions blood Howing through her veins, w’itbin the six months she had learned to read easy words, both in print wnd writing, and she was proud of the She did glory in her power to rend and spell out the meaning of such cheap books ■s came in her way, and once, having ’watched a postman deliver a letter across the street, she wns seised with a wish that was somewhat akin to pain to re­ ceive a letter from somebody—just to see if she could frame an answer. She hnd never received a letter and thinking it over from thia standpoint. Mcg felt that she was very lonely and she vaguely wondered how it all came about that nobody in all the thousands which anode up the big city—the big city was Meg's world—hnd cared whether she liv­ ed or diet]. Once a sweet little girl, who was walk­ ing with her nurse, had looked up into fher face nnd with that free-fasonry which knows nothing of rules and which has in ft the element, nay, the very essence of fraternity, had pressed a tiny cluster of violets into her hand. And so the days went on, to-day as yes­ terday. to-morrow as to-day. until one ■aorniug Meg overslept herself, by some method of calculation which did not conaider time in the light of dollars and cents added to her income, nnd she went to her breakfast late. The landlady was usuolly pleasant when a boarder happened to be late at breakfast and. ns became one in her rxiritrd-position. she made an -offense of thia kind on Meg's part an af­ fair of great importance. Not that Meg in all the years she had -worked for Welver & Co. had been late -to breakfast more than three or four times, but the landlady never quite forgot that Meg had at one time been her will­ ing slave and any dereliction on her part which was savored of independence was •ot a thing to lightly pass over. Oh the morning in question. th- land­ lady, much to Meg’s surprise. greeted her in an affable manner and her grim mouth <aivcred with somctliiug which might, amder favorable conditions. have been mistaken for a smile, but which had had so little practice that it merely"’taeered«d in being a grimarn 1b* she told her to take her M-ai at the table and then pro«reded Io introduce her to a new boarder who had just paid a mouth’s board in ad- «p The yonng man. whose name wns At­ wood—“Mr. Thomas Atwood,” as he was called by the landlady—was disposed to talk as he went on eating his breakfast, and as Mcg wax the only one nt the breakfast table he naturally talked to Tier, and she soon learned that he was head brakeman on one of the trains which roll­ ed out of the city on the iron mils be­ longing to a great railway line, nnd that his home was in an Eastern city. She told him that she also belonged to the toiling masses, and before breakfast wns finished they became very well acquaint­ ed, nnd Meg. as she pinned her veil down close over her plain little bat, thought Mr. Atwood the very nicest gentleman whom she had ever met. And so Meg’s love story began, and ns the time flew away it was apparent to everybody that she was growing abso­ lutely pretty—happiness having much power in this direction—and that the time wns approaching when the honest young brakeman and herself would cease to l>e loVers nnd Itecomo husband and wife. Indeed, they had talked it all over, and Meg hnd told Tom that she had saved $100 from her meager salary, nnd Tom bad confessed that “before he had known her be had spent ail his earnings, but since that time be had begun to put by a little, and now hnd $300. and that he meant to* work hard and get a promotion, so that they conld some time have a home of their own," etc., just as humble, happy lovers always have done and al­ ways will do. and then they decided that they would put the $100 and the $300 to­ gether. and, as that was the 1st of Feb­ ruary, they would get married Feb. 14— n "valentine wedding," as Tom said, nnd then, when she said "she.never hnd had a valentine," he laughed out of a heart just bubbling over with sweetness, and Jove, and merriment, and told her “he would be her valentine and she would be his," and then he kissed her, and Meg was in such a state of delight that she forgot rite ever had been lonely, and she wouldn't have changed places with a queen, even if the latter had insisted up­ on it. As the time drew near for the wedding Mcg had a pretty new dress made and, somewhat softened by the love affair which hnd gone forward directly under । her supervision, the landlady bad made preparations for a Wedding supper which was to outdo any previous effort of the kind in the neighborhood. Indeed, she had resolved that for once she would be extravagant, and she got out several an-, cient receipts, which were headed "Bride's Cake." and set to work beating eggs and weighing sugar iu a way which made the kitchen scullion to declare, in a confiden­ tial manner, to the garbage man. that “Missus 'peered to be a little teched in her upper story,” and gave as her reason for her conclusion that “She was s-mn ic­ in' cake to beat sixty." A few days before the time set for the wedding the weather, which bad been in that condition known as “muggy." turned cold, and when Tom came around to bid Meg good-by before going out on his run for the last time before he claimed her as his bride, he bad a powder of snow on his collar and that strange, indescribable smell of cold on his clothing which made Meg snuggle up to him and say she “was sorry lie had to go out in the void." and then, as sb* kissed him in that motherly way that rows natural to women when they'love, she naked bim to "be very care­ ful and jat< b his footiag as Im- ran aero** the lops of the ear*. whk4> were sure to !

But. aa I said, back of her soft gray ryes is a something which is too sad for speech, too deep for tears, and it will go with her all her days, and —who knows?—will fade only when she is no more lonely, no more heart-hungry.

Not in twenty-five years han there been a storm of such severity. It will be days before anything like au accurate estimate can be made of the damage Inflicted. It will be weeks before the effects of the storm will have panted away. More than a score of fives have been lost along the New England coast. At least thirty coast­ wise and fishing vessels are reported as having been wrecked, while us many more are missing. The storm, which began Monday morn­ ing and continued till a late hour Tuesday afternoon, was the most severe in every way of which the weather bureau has any record. About eighteen inches of snow, felldn Boston, with a wind blowing from thirty to fifty miles an hour. The stormwas even more severe in the North and East. For about eighteen hours Boston was cut off from all communication with the outside world, no wires were working, and all trains and electric cars were stalled. Hundreds of miles of wires are fiat, and it will take thousands of men several days to restore the service to its normal condition. At least sixty horses were killed in Bos­ ton by falling trolley and electric wires. The streets In many places were literally covered with a network of live wires, nnd as the districts Monday night were in to­ tal darkness it was extremely dangerous to pedestrians. Few electric cars made any progress, nnd many filled .vlth pas­ sengers were stalled all night because of falling wires and deep snow. The steam trains fared little better, as nearly all the tracks were covered with wires and poles, in addition to snow, making progress even fora locomotive, practically impossible. Add to this the fact that the switches and signals refused to work, and (hat no com­ munication could be had with the conduc­ tors of trains on the road, aud some idea of the completeness of the blockade can be obtained.

Ohio Legislator Introduces a Novel ReprfirentaUve Parker of Cuyahoga County introduced a bill in the Ohio Leg­ islature which Is meant to prescribe who may and who may not marry. Tbe meas­ ure provides for a State board of three examiners and n board iu each county. Men and women who apply for marriage licenses will be required to submit to physical and mental examination* by the boards of the counties in which they live. The presence of any transmissible disease or hereditary diathesis to mental or phy­ sical disease or defect, or any criminal history or bias, will bar nn applicant from the right of marriage. A fee of $5 a cou­ ple will be authorized, which will go to the examining board. In case persons are not satisfied with the findings of the county board they will have the right of appeal to tin* State board, but will have to pay a fee of $25 to that board. Mr. Par­ ker say* that this plan alone will put a stop to the alarming increase of insanity, crime and degeneracy. HELPED NURtE HIM VICTIMS. Californian Charged with Poisoning His Brtithcr and Mister. Frank Bellew has been lodged in the county jail at Sutaun, Cal., charged with murdering hi* brother and stater by pois­ on. Ix!Wta and Susie Bellew lived togeth­ er in a cottage in the outskirts of Elmira. When the victim* were taken sick Frank was almost the first peraon to come to their boose. He helped the nurses to make gruel, using water from the tea kettle in which he is alleged to have placed peraon. The day before the crime Frank called on hta brother-in-law, John W. Bird, a photographer, and complained ♦hat he had not received enough of the property/of hta parent*, who had over­ looked him in their wilt He add<-d: "Bird, I'm going to commit a terrible crime to-morrow. I’m going to commit a tragedy that will shock the whole com­ munity.” After the crime Bird had rea­ son to believe that Bellew intended to kill him, and made tbe statement which led to his arrest. Burn a Negro. W. C. Plumb, editor of a Corry, Pa., dally paper and candidate for Mayor at the last election, has lieen arrested, in company with Thomas Oliver, proprietor of the Phoenix Hotel, and William Kelle­ her. an all-round sport, charged with sat­ urating the clothiug of an inoffensive ne­ gro hotel i>orter with alcohol spirits and then setting fire to it. The negro’s cloth­ ing was burned off hta back aud he was so badly injured by the ttanies that he has lieen confined to hi* bed under medical care. The man's suffering* have been terrible and he will liear the marks of the assault upon him as long as he lives. Mine Owners Rebel. A Duluth, Minn., special says that the independent mine owners of the Mesalia range, have declared war against tbe ex­ orbitant freight tariff on iron ore and open hostilities will l>e begun in a Charcoal At Madoe, Ont.. John Milligan, aged 21 years; Lee Milligan, 15, nnd Ethel Baker, 12, were fatally asphyxiated by the fumes from charcoal. Ohio Mayor Disappears.

The British steamer Mfcjrstie has been chartered to carry twenty-tw<» locotnstives and a general cargo frnm Philadelphia to the Finland Government. The locomo­ tives are being shipped hy the Baldwin works. Tbe consignment consists of ten Kcuger and twelve freight engines. In the Senate on Monday two of the general appropriation bills, that for the the legislative, judicial nnd executive de­ partments. carrying $21,658,520. were passed, the tatter constating of 121 pages, occupying the'attentlon of the Senate dur­ ing the greater part of tbe session. After a brief executive session the Senate ad­ journed. In the House all day was spent In debate on the Teller silver resolution. ' .It was defeated by n vote of 132 to 182. The feature of tbe abort seaaiorf of the Senate on Tuesday was a atntement made by Mr. Clark (Rep.. Wyo.), as a matter of personal privilege, concerning his vote in favor of tbe Teller resolution. He maintained that his vote was in no way inconsistent with hta Republicanism, and declared he would not permit anybody to read him out of the party, as he was satisfied the masses of the party would .not convict him of political heresy. Tbe House devoted most of tbe session to the District of Columbia appropriation bill, but bad not completed it nt the time of adjournment Some politics was injected into the debate just at the clooe. the fea­ ture of which was n bitter denunciation of W. A. Stone ot Pennsylvania by Mr. Mahany (Rep., N. Y.). for tbe former’s position in favor of tbe immigration bilL Mr. Stone did not see fit to reply. Before tbe district bill was taken up several bills and resolutions of minor importance were After three days spent on tbe Dtatrict of Columbia appropriation bill, mostly in­ political discussion, the House passed the ■measure on Wednesday and then took up the bill to provide for fortifications and coast defenses. Several Democrats, nota­ bly Mr. McClellan of New York, criticised: the measure lx>cnu8e it cut down appro­ priations for these works below what has been appropriated In recent years. Beyond the reading of the agricultural ap­ propriation bill and agreeing to the amend­ ments proposed by tbe committee, the Senate transacted no business of import­ ance in open session. The greater part of tbe afternoon wns passed in execu­ tive session, the discussion being upoa> tbe Hawaiian annexation treaty. Thursday in the House was spent os­ tensibly in considering the fortifications appropriation bill. In reality the major portion of the time wns consumed in the discussion of politics! topics. The exist­ ence of prosperity In the country wasagain the main question of dispute. All attempts tn increase the appropriations ir» the fortifications appropriation bill or toamend it in any respect were voted down. One of the features of Thursday’s session of the Senate was a speech by Mr. Caffery of Louisiana iu support of the reso­ lution reported by the Committee on Priv­ ileges and Elections declaring that Henry W. Corbett is not entitled to a seat in the Senate from the State of Oregon. Mr. Corbett was appointed as Senator by tbe Governor of Oregon after the failure of the Legislature to elect a Senator to suc­ ceed Senator Mitchell. Mr. Caffery main­ tained that the Governor of a State had no authority to apjmint to fill an original vacancy—a vacancy beginning with a new term—after the legislature had had an opportunity to elect and bad failed to so. The agricultural appropriation bill was under consideration during tbe great­ er part of the afteraoon and was finally passed. After a bjief executive session the Senate adjourned. Friday was private bill day iu the House, but by systematic filibustering the private calendar eoutainlng the bills re­ ported by the Committee on Claims was not reached, the whole day and evening being consumed in passing thirty-seven private pension bills favorably acted upon by the House at tbe session last Friday night. During the consideration of one of the bills an interesting discussion of the sale of the Kansas Pacific Road was precipitated by Mr. Fleming (Dem., of Georgia), who, with his Democratic col­ leagues. desire.! legtatation to require the President to bid the full amount of the debt, principal and interest. Mr. Powers, chairman of the Pacific I^ailroad Com­ mittee. contended that the real purpose of tbe opposition was to eompe! tbe Govern­ ment to take tbe road and operate it. He said he thought the administration, which had secured ever}- dollar owing from the Union I*acific, could lie safely trusted to protect the Government's interest nt the sale of the Kansas Pacific. In tbe Sen­ ate no business of importance was trans­ acted in the brief open sesaion; After the executive session of three hours tbe Senate adjourned until Monday. The House during its entire session of Saturday had under consideration the bill making apprqprUHons for fortifica­ tions and coast defense*. Little interest seemed to lie manifested in the proceed­ ings, less than one-half of the members being present during the session* The bill $9,517,141 last year.

But if it is to worry ber, or make her unhappy, I will-1 wilt” The next day the smart Featherstone liveries came gleaming up the avenue, and Mrs. Featherstone, all furbelows, flounces and flurry, rushed into her pres­ ence. Her agitated appearance made Evelyn's heart quake with fear for what she might have to soy. “Oh, my dear girl,” she commenced excitedly. T have come to take you back to the Hall with me. Now. no excuses, Evelyn. 1 know how busy you are. and what a lot you have to do; but Agnes is ill, and I am sure you will not refuse to go to her, for she is crying out for you every moment.” “Agnes ill! Oh, what is the matter?'’ exclaimed Evelyn, forgetting all about her interview with Will Caryll in her anxiety for her favorite friend. “Don’t ask me, my dear, for I'm sure I can't tell you, no more than nothing,” replied Mrs. Featherstone; "only the whole bouse is tojwy-turvy. and heaven only knows what will imppen to us next, . and Agues hns locked herself into her bed­ room, aud won’t come out for her Aunt Sophy nor me, nor anylxxly." “But why—why?” cried Evelyn, in pal­ pable distress. “Why. all on account of Mr. Jasper Lyle, of course.

Of course Mr. Featherstone’* quite put out about it. and says the engagement had tatter be broken off alto­ gether, ami poor Agnes is in hysterics, and I fee) so ill you might knock me down with a feather.” When Evelyn reached Agnes’ room she found the silly little girl as despairing as though her lover had l>een stretched out in his coffin, and ready for the grave. She sobbed in Evdyu's arm* for some time so bitterly aa to be quite unable to speak, and when the passionate outburst had somewhat subsided, her words were scarcely coherent. “But what is all this terrible fuss ataut, Agnes?" inquired Evelyn, in her- soft, rich voice. “Has Mr. Lyle deserted you for some other woman, or is be so ill that tbe doctors have given up all hope* of his recovery ?" "No, no,” sobbed Agnes, from the shel­ ter of her friend’s bosom: “but he is go­ ing tack to Italy at once, aud I feel cer­ tain 1 stall never see him again.” “But surely that b rating your lover’s fidelity nt-a--wry low standard, Agnes.

No one is permitted long to be so happy in thl* world as I have been. Jasper told papa that the most important business called him abroad, and that it was bapocsiblc to say how long it might keep him there.

He had an­ ticipated a considerable portion of bis nnnuar allowancc to pay for bis wedding journey. “Mr. Featherston; told me.” he said, “before ever I proposed for Agnes, that he was prepared to settle twenty thou­ sand pound* on her.

(To be continued.) A Moment of Peril. When the? Ironsides, commanded by Captain—afterward Admiral—Dahl­ gren, was off Morris Island, South Car­ olina, while removing coal from her bunkers. It was discovered that the ves­ sel had sustained a serious Injury from a Confederate torpedo. It became nec­ essary to know to what extent tbe hull had been affected externally under the water. The diver's boat wns brought along­ side and the diver descended. It was low’ water and the Instant was seized when the tide ceased to ebb. Tbe diver went carefully over the part of the bot­ tom at the damaged portion, and then reaching the keel concluded to pass un­ der, and now saw that the vessel, in swinging, would jmss close to a shoal ridge of the sandy bottom, and even grind-into It. This must-inevitably cut off the slender and delicate tube which conveyed air to him, and also sever the lines by which, in case of accident, he w’as to be drawn up. Fastened down by bls heavy weights it would be In­ stant suffocation. With all the speed that his Incum­ brances permitted, he endeavored to reach the keel and pass under before It was too late. The ship was coming round rapidly; he passed his head and body, but tagan to feel the pressure of the keel against tbe soft ooze. With great effort he succeeded in dragging his limbs and tubes clear, and the water became a little deeper; but one arm was so painfully crushed that it was some days before It was In a condition to use. A French Bibliophile. Tlie late Due d’Aumale w’as a gen­ uine lover of books, and the Newmark Tribune, quoting Lady Dilke, has some­ thing to tell In this connection: His in­ terest in hi« famous library at Chan­ tilly was far from tad ng confined to a superficial pleasure In tbeir bindings, tbeir beauty or tbeir rarity; one could not lay one's band on a volume in bls superb and immense library with tbe contents of which be was not to some extent familiar. Unless, indeed, you were sp< dally au­ thorized to do so, touching bis books was a temptation that it was wiser to resist. He tad a jealous sense of tbeir value, and could be angry with a dar­ ing hand. On one occasion, when tbe glass doors before tbe shelves at the end of tbe library bad been unlocked, and some of his most precious treasures— each In its own glass case—tad been brought'forth and opened, I heard him cry out peremptorily to a most distin­ guished French Academician, who tad ventured to •handle a volume: “Put It down, put it down, till I come to it They should only be unlocked one by one aa I show them to Lady Dilke."

The officials of the Interior and Trca*ary Departments warn people who are going to Klondike to look out for bogus agents, excursion clubs and other per­ sons and organizations that offer low rates and inducements In the way of transportation, care, guidance, etc. There are companies whose advertisements in the newspapers are prima-facie evidence of fraud, and the special agents of tbe Postofflce Dqmrtmrat are now engaged in the investigation of several sharpers who are offering impossible inducements. One company, for example, proposes to fur­ nish transportation, food, bedding and ail other necessaries for $250, 20 per cent, to be paid In advance, with the applica­ tion. and the balance when the ticket is issued upon starting. Other clubs and excursions offer even tatter rates, and in every caw the applicant is required to make a deposit as a guaranty of good faith. It is evidently the deposit that the rascals are after. All persona, there­ fore. are warned against contracting for transportation or buying railway or steamship tickets from any but the regu­ lar authorized agents of railway and steamship companies. • • • Washington society is a queer mixture.

Less than five years agivshe was enter­ taining on a scale as elalxirnte as the moat wealthy people in Washington.

It is absolutely nec­ essary for the justices to bare time to con­ sider them. • • • In certain Washington sets men are scarce, and competent authority asserts that good-looking young men in the de­ partments, whose salary of $00 a month is quite insufficient to enable them* to hire carriages aud buy flowers, are taken to theaters, reception* and to big dinner* by women who pay ail the bills for the sake of haring escorts.

TO PRISON FOR LIFE. THE JURY DECLARES LUETGERT GUILTY OF MURDER. Verdict Makss the Penalty a Pen tea- the presidency of First Vice-Preaident Manuel Estrada Cabrera. No detail* whatever were given. The dispatch came Ailolph L. Luetgert, the Chicago saus­ age maker, is guilty of wife murder. Af­ ter five hours of ddil<cration the jury agreed upon this verdict. Half an hour before midnight Wednesday each of tbe twelve men rose in his seat in the jury box In Judge Gary’s court and declared that beyond the question of a reasonable doubt he believed the prisoner had taken the life of his wife, Louise Luetgert, on the night of May 1. The prisoner sat without a sign of emotion and met the gaze of each juror without u tremor. If anything, a look of gratitude and relief was noticeable on bin fare. He had ex­ pected the death penalty if convicted. The first intimation that a verdict had been arrived nt, soys a Chicago dispatch, was brought by one of the bailiffs from the Jury room on the sixth floor. Tbe jury wanted to see Judge Gary. This was shortly before 11 o’clock. The scene in the court room and State’s attorney's office was instantly changed from a rol­ licking gathering of those connected with the case to an anxious, expectant crowd.

The new president. Mr. Cabrera, is a man of prominence in Guatemala, and is one of two chosen by the congress to fill the presidency in case of a vacancy. The system of the country is different from that in the United Stales, there being no vice-preaident elected with the president.

They are eligible in the order of their choice. When the excitement of the tra­ gedy E‘j« passed a presidential election may bt held. The assassination of President Barrios probably is due to the revolutionary feel. ing which has been growing in Guatemala ever since he declared himself dictator last June. One of the first acts «f the rebels was the assassination of the pres­ ident's brother in San Jose, and the mur/ der of the wife of the jefe politico of Quezaltenango.

Tbe Republicans have a rising man In Moody, from the old Essex district of Massachusetts; but among the leaders of the House at pres­ ent there is remarkably little oratorical ability.

TEXTILE STRIKE TO BE MADE GENERAL. tile Unione Reach ci»ion at Boston-Operatives to Be Callad Out-Trad* Conditions. Strike Threatened. The conference of textile delegates held in Boston recommended a general strike in all cotton mills in New England. The meeting wm called by President Samuel Gomper* of the American Federation of Labor,' Secretary Ross ot the National Mule Spinners’ Association and other* to derise way* and means to assist the cloth mill striker*. Forty-two delegates, rep­ resenting every textile union in New Eng­ land, re«i»ondeJ, and, though the meeting lasted four hours, it was one of the most harmonious ever held by labor leader*. 11 is estimated that there are 148,000 cot­ ton operative* in the New England States, and that if tbe strike order should be favored by the various organizations fully 145,000 would be affected.. Soon after convening tbe measures for securing financial aid were carefully canvajtsed and ways and mean.** devised to receive more prompt assistance from the union* a Oil-; la ted with the federation. After fully discussing the situation tbe following mo­ tion was unanimously carried: “Voted, That we recommend for the favorable consideration of all unions the adriaalnlity of ordering all cotton textile operative* to quit work at once." GOOD TRADE CONDITION?. Spring Trade I* Opening Early in tbe Middle West. R. G. Dun & Co.'* weekly review of trade says: “Business is pushing toward spring activity rather early. Events which have controlled are good buying of iron by the largest makers, the rise in cotton with strength in goods, the great railway consolidation and the Cuban insurrection. ■The latter, with its possibilities, operates as a brake on speculation. Tbe output of pig iron Feb. 1 was 229,823 tons weekly, the largest in the history of tbe business. The Illinois Steel Company has contract­ ed for LOOO.OOO ton* Bessemer ore, and producers of other ranges count upon an advance in price. Bessemer pig rose to *19.15, and gray forge to *9 at Pittsburg, with finished products generally stronger and in larger demand than ever at thia season. January was one of the biggest mouths in Connellsville coke output—623,­ 975 tons. The rise in cotton, 5-ltlc for the week, results in part from better pros­ pects for manufacture here and abroad, but only In part. "Hie actual movement shows no change of consequence, but prices at goods have a stronger tone, and foreign prospects are better. Wool sales at the chief cities were only 5,093,290 pounds for the week. Prices nre still ‘ strong. Tbe opening of works idle for year*. Id spite of the heavy production already assured, is a striking feature in this as in the iron nnd other industries, and implies heavier demands for products than are now met by the unprecedented output. Failure* for the week have been 295 in the United States, against 267 last year, and 43 in Canada, against 61 last VEENDAM WENT DOWN. Holland-American Steamer Wrecked in Mid-Atlantic.

Constables Cropper and Thacker attempted to arrest an old lady named Crowe who was at her home with several grown-up daughter!. One of the girls flew at the officers with a long knife, dangerously wounding both, and the old lady and another daughter drew revolvers. The battle raged for a few momenta, and after the smoke bad clear­ ed old Mr*. Crowe WM found dead and shot to pieces, and one daughter dead. Those who survived are in a dangerous condition.

'Agents of the French and German Govertraients have also placed orders for meat supplies both in Omaha nnd Chicago. Montauk point, and to have carried the mcmtars’of the expedition that was ship­ wrecked oa the Tillie a couple of weeks ago. The arms and ammunition for this last expedition are said to have been car­ ried from New York by the steam lighter Agnes. The Agnes left the other night, putting into Bridgeport the next morning. The following afternoon, while she was watched by detectives, she suddenly stenmed out Into the sound. She had a thirty-foot naphtha launch 'in tow, and her officers gave out that they Were bound for Newport. Twenty-four hour* later, however, the Agnes put into New Lon­ don. again sailing at nightfall, heading in the direction of Montauk. A vessel that the Agnes is reported to have met is not known, although the name is mentioned ot a steam yacht owned by a Baltimore millionaire, which came from New Loodon a few weeks ago with an unusual quantity of arms on board. These, it was said by her officers, were to be used in re­ pelling possible pirate* in the Mediterra­ nean. Tbe detectives suspected filibus­ tering intentions and kept a close watch on her. She disappeared, and it is be­ lieved that she met the Agnes off the Long Island coast. MIBBING MAN COMES BACK. Great excitement prevails in Galena. Kan., over the appearance in the city of Tyler Gaviett, who disappeared last March from the Windsor stock farm, owned by Solon L. Cheney, one of the most prominent dtixens of th* county. At the time ncighltor* took charge of Gaviett’s crops and other property and dis­ posed of it. and drculatcd the report that Cheney had murdered him. County At­ torney Charles Stevens, in tbe absence of Cheney, searched'the place for the body. This act led to an assault upon Perry Steven*, brother of tbe county attorney, by Cheney, for wlflch n *30,090 damage suit is now pending. Upon bis arrival Gaviett immediately secured warrants for tbe arrest of County Attorney Ste­ vens and fire others, charging them with stealing his property. The appearance of Gaviett removes the cloud from Cheney and leaves hi* accu»crs in a bad predica­ ment. . ADULTERATED FLOUR. Much of the High-Priced Article Said An investigation by tbe Chicago Health Department discloses the fact that much of the high-priced flour used in that city is mixed wTth cornmeal and inferior grade* of spring wheat. For several weeks complaints bare been made by bakers aud others that it was impossible to produce good bread. The fault is charged to the miller* who are accused of using Inferior grades of wheat without making a corresponding reduction In the price of flour. This I* one of tbe peculiar incidents in the great wheat deal in which a powerful syndicate, beaded by Joseph Leiter, has purchased a large percentage of the high grade wheat and is bolding It for a decided rise in price. The Minne­ apolis Board of Health is making a simi­ lar Investigation. TWO CONGRESSMEN POISONED. Inmates of a Washington Boardinghouse Badly Scared. The boarders and servants at 215 East Capitol street, Washington, a large board­ ing house several blocks from the capital, were badly scared tbe other night, as tbe result of poisoning following dinner. Twenty-six of the boarder* «nd servants were made ill, but it is believed the re­ covery of all of them Is assured. Repre­ sentatives Bodine and Lioyd ot Missouri were among those attacked, but were able to be out the .next day. Mrs. Bodine and Mr*. Lloyd nnd the latter's two children were not so fortunate, nnd were compell­ ed to remain abed. A. M. Shelton and T. S.

In the Century there is an article by Martha Littlefield Phillips, giving “Rec­ ollections of Washington and His Friends.’* The author ia a granddaugh­ ter of the youngest daughter of Gen. Na­ thaniel Greene's, and she tells the follow­ ing story in the words of her grandmoth­ er, concerning a vlait of the latter to Washington at Philadelphia: "One incident which occurred during that visit was so comical in itself, and so characteristic of Washington, that I recall it for your entertainment. Early in a bright December morning a droll-looking old countryman called to see the Presi­ dent In the midst of their interview breakfast was announced; and the Presi­ dent invited his visitor, aa was his hos­ pitable wont on such occasions, to a seat beside him at the table. The visitor drank his coffee from his saucer, but lest any grief should come to the snowy dam­ ask, he scraped the bottom of his cup on the saucer’s edge before setting it down on the tablecloth. He did it with such audible rigor that it attracted my atten­ tion; aud that of several young people present, always on the alert for occasions of laughter. Wo were so indiscreet aa to allow onr amusement to become obvi­ ous. Gen. Washington took in the situa­ tion, and immediately adopted his visit­ or’s method of driuking bis coffee, mak­ ing tbe scrape even more pronounced than the one he reproduced. Our disposition to laugh was quenched at once." WASHINGTON’S ANCESTORS. WHERE WASHINGTON WAS BORN.

Old English Building Dates from the Seventeenth Century. Washington Hall, in Durham County, England, which was lately sold under the hammer, with the adjoining grounds, for $2,025, was the early home of the ances­ tors of George Washington.

A large outstanding chimney is at one end of the bouse. The building is now fast falling into ruin. The Washington fam­ ily occupied tbe old manor for five cen­ turies before the hall was built.

As Jasper looked at the inscripiions, aud remembered that Agnes hnd heard the story of her early attachment from Evelyn’s own lip*, his color came and went, and he realized that ho must either brave the matter aut by lying .or make bis wife his confident. -"Speak to me," exclaimed Agnes, hys­ terically; "tell me the meaning of It. for heaven's sake.

But first he must do r little bit of love making, at which, when he chose. Mr. William Caryll Jasper Lyle was par­ ticularly happy. So he went and sat down on the couch, and threw his arms •bout Agnes, and kissed her warmly. "I will tell'you everything." he whis­ pered. “if yon won’t cry. And first, you must know how I love you, Agnes.” “Oh. yes: oh. yes," she said, nestling to him: “and that nothing can loosen the dose tie between us." “You are my wife.

I will go back to America to-night, and you shall never see me again. Be patient, and you shall know everything nnd confess I am not so much to blame." "But she loved you," moaned Agues. "Y’cars aud years ago: but what of that? You can see very plainly that Miss Evelyn doesn't love me to-day. Why, she is positively rude sometimes.

If he made her •brink from bim, she would fly to Eve­ lyn for consolation, and it was his object to detach her as much as possible from her early friend.

For whose rights should I fight? Evelyn's or yours? Y’ou are the real mistress of Mount Eden. Why shouldn’t I put you in your proper place?" But Agnes had burst into a flood of tears. "Oh, Jasper," she sobbed, “1 don’t wnnt it. I should be miserable. I should lie always thinking of Evelyn, and that I had turned her out of her home. I could not do it. We are very happy as we arc. Why can’t everythuy; go on the same?” “It’s very evident that you love Eve better than you do mt." said her hus­ band. with an offended air. "It isn’t every wife who would care to we her husband thrown into daily nnd hourly contact with a woman who is very much in love with him." Mr*. Lyle grow ns red ns a rose. “But that happened so long ago, Jasper. Surely Evelyn must have forgotten it by this time?” B "Did it appear to you ns if she had got over it when she told you the story of her early attachment in this very house? What have you repeated to me on the subject yourself this evening?" Agnes was silent, though her bosom heaved violently, nnd her color came and went in sudden rushes. Jasper had hit the right nail on tbe head this time, nnd touched the spring that would make his wife see all things through the medium of his interpretation. “I must la«g of you, Agnes, to be com­ pletely silent on this subjwt." he said. "Not a word or hint, mind, to Evelyn or any one. We must work in the dark a while before we can bring everything to the light. And I hope you will not let what I have told you make any difference in your behavior toward my cousin, or I shall Im? sorry thnt I confided in you. Let everything go on the same while I carry out my plans, and some day you will see yourself the mistress of Mopnt Eden." “I will try,” said Agnes, in a low voice. "And now, my darling, will you go to bed? You look very wenry, and I want to go oM-4M»dUHtve my cigar—and Eve will be thinking it strange if I remain awny from her much longer." "She will be trying to make love to you again." snid Agnes, in a tone of injury, as she buried her face in the sofa cushion. "Rut she will fail." answered her hus­ band gayly, as be kissed her and left the nxini. But though she was wounded and jeal­ ous, and unhappy, the last words the poor girl kept repeating before she cried herself to deep were. “Oh, Evelyn, Eve­ lyn.

I so much fear that you may think me \presumptuous—that—that Only believe that I shall be too much honored by being-your friend, and your faithful servant both, to my life’s cad.” Neither of them spoke for a minute after that, and then Evelyn said: "And what is this information which you arc dubious aliout the propriety of. repeating to mat Captain Philip?" "A foolish rei«rt thnt you have'not an entirely legal hold on Mount Eden, and thnt before long a claimant will start up to dispute the property with you. It ta too ridiculous nn idea even to be con­ tradicted, but if it is one of Mr. Lyle's jokes, the sooner he stops them the bet­ ter, for you know what the ignorant classes are—ready to believe anything to the detriment or discomfiture of their su­ perior*.'* “Mr. Lyle has dared to say that," mur­ mured Evelyn, with clenched teeth. “1 honestly believe it commenced with him. When it reached my ears. I made strict inquiries for its origin, and every­ body attributed it to the same source— Mr. Lyle’s drunken friend, Mullins the brewer. Of course yon know how such stories grow by repetition. Still, there was never a hint of such n scandal tM»fore Mr. Lyle appeared among us." “Thanks, Captain Philip, thanks. Plense say no more. It shall be stopped, and nt once." “It ta such a silly fabrication,” said the overseer: "it liears absurdity upon the face of it. For there is no one who could dispute your claim, ta there?” “No one, except my Cousin Hugh. Oh, Captain Philip, you enn’t thiflk how much I wish sometimes that he had never died.

You mustn’t lose heart because an ungrateful fool docs not know how to value your kindness to bim.” Evelyn was burning with indignation at what she hnd heard, and determined to let Will Caryll understand the only con­ ditions on which he could retain hta posi­ tion nt Mount Eden. When dinner was ended, and she found herself in the draw­ ing-room with Agnes and her husband, it seemed n favorable time. They had sat through an uncomfortable meal, none of them appearing to have much to say to the other, nnd it wns a relief to Evelyn to be able to take up her needlework, and feel that she wns free to talk. “Mr. Lyle," she commenced gravely. “I must ask you to listen to me for a few minutes. I understand you are still in the habit of spending your afternoons at the •Green Man,’ nnd thnt It deteriorates (a* it inevitably must do) from your dig­ nity as my steward. 1 must beg you to discontinue the custom. It is not the first time (as yon know) that I have been obliged to speak to yon on tbe subject." Jasper Lyle's manner to the mistress of Mount Eden had become far more jaunty and fnihiliar of late, and now there seem­ ed a ring of actual insolence in the tone in which he replied: "I wns really not aware that your bene­ fits to me included the supervision of my morals." Evelyn looked straight at him, but her gaze had no power to make him avert his “From this unworthy habit of yours," continued Evelyn, in the same grave tone, “has sprung up a great annoyance to me, I cannot believe It emanated from your­ self—I credit you with a little more sense —but it is attributed to you on all sides, and it doubtless had its rise in your chat­ tering.” “And what may this be?" inquired Lyle, . •Wrumor that I hold Mount Eden on an uncertain tenure, and that there are other claimants to the estate." “Well?” he said carelessly. • “WelU” repeated Evelyn Indignantly, "if you have said so, sir, you know It to be untrue.

He is ship­ ping thousands of bushels to Europe, and the other manipulators are cov­ ering their losses as best they may. But just the same he has put the prices up where every farmer, who has kept his grain, can realize from ten to twenty cents more a bushel on it than they might otherwise have done. Tlie tendency of young men born and reared on farms to leave the country for towns and cities is cer­ tainly an unhealthy igayement in a large and unprofitable to many of thobe who embark in it. Properly and steadily followed,there is no safer business than farming, nor any more certain to yield satisfactory results. In very many instances those who abandon it for city life live to regret tbe change. The farmers’ institutes and farmers themselves ought to be able to develop a higher interest in the occupation and more of a certain sort of esprit de corps among those who follow it. The blowing up of the Maine in the Harbor of Havana just at this time and under existing conditions, has fur­ nished no little talk and speculation as to the cause of the disaster, even here: and while we do not-like to think it was accidental and was caused by our seamen’s carelessness, we do not think it beneath a Spaniard to stoop to such a thing, and should the investigating committee, which is now at work looking into the disaster, render a decision to the effect that it was blown up by the Spaniards, war, although a grave thing, should be declared at once and we should proceed to get satisfaction ou’ of Spain if such a thing were possible. Did you ever hear the story of the monkey and the nuts? A certain greedy monkey found a jar full of nuts, according to the late Mr. Aesop, The jar was deep and had a long narrow neck. The monkey plunged his hand into the jar and grasped a thumping big handful, so large that he could not withdraw his hand for the narrowness of the neck. He was too greedy to let go any of his handful and so he remained a prisoner until he was captured and killed Our profits are a small handful when taken out of our jar of values. We believe in letting go of the big profits and unlike the monkey make things hum with our freedom.

Terrible Destruction of the Magnificent Battleship Maine Was the Greatest Calamity that Has Ever Befallen the Navy of the United States. Several Days May Elapse Before a Ver­ dict la Reached, bat There Wiil'Be No Unnoceaaary Delay-Xuvestisation to Be Rigrid. Craiser Maine Destroyed in Havana Harbor. Four Men to Decide. On Thursday the court of inquiry to in­ vestigate the cause of the Maine disaster was called to meet in Havana by Admiral Sicard. It is composed of tbe following officers: Capt. William T. Simpson. Capt. French E. Chadwick, Lieutenant Com­ mander William P. Potter and Lieuten­ ant Commander Adolph Marix, judge ad­ vocate. The verdict of these four naval experts, writes a Washington corrwtpondent. may mean war with Spain. Under the direction of Admirah Sicard, says the correspondent, writing immedi­ ately after the calling of the court, the members will hear evidence and examine the debris. The splintered and twisted hulk is expected to tell its own story. Tbe plates will be bent in or out. If all point outward, the disaster was caused from carelessness or prolmbly treachery on board the ship; if they point inward, then to Spanish treachery from without. Be­ neath the waters of the harbor the divers will turn their electric searchlights as they search the deep for the submerged debris of the once mighty battle ship. They will report speedily to their su­ periors. There will be no unnecessary «ielay. Public opinion will not stand indefi­ nite suspense. The verdict of the court of inquiry will go to the Secretary of the Navy nnd to the President. There will Im* n cabinet meeting. There will be no splitting of hairs, no quibbling over offi­ cial etiquette. This matter is executive; it will not follow precedents; there are none to follow. * AS VIEWED BY EDITORS.

Cranks frequently do not get as fnr a# the front door of the White House. Some of them encounter the policeman who pa­ trols the grounds iu front of the execu­ tive mansion. They relate their stories to him and he nets without consultation with the other officials. Only once since the administration of President McKinley began has a crank reached tbe business part of the building.

His affliction wns quickly seen, and he was quietly watch­ ed by several employes, one of them a policeman, wbo is detailed to clerical work in the executive offices. He was n French­ man aud had traveled much. He wanted some trivial matter regulated. An assist­ ant clerk, representing Mr. Porter, heard the rnau’s story and promised to attend to what he wanted. The man went awny satisfied and has never returned. It would have been a difficult task for this man or any other to reach the President. Nearly every unofficial caller nt the White House has to white his business to some clerk or doorkeeper. If he wants to see the President be must talk with some one else. In this way bis trouble is detect­ ed. Charles Loeffler, the. faithful old doorkeeper of the President’s room, has a man of suspicious character. Loeffler has little to say at ail times, but he knows his business, and is ever alert. During the time when Mr. Cleveland kept himself so closely confined tohis office Both the former President and hia sec­ retary, Mr. Thurber, dreaded cranks, and the heavy detail of policemen at the White House during tbe last administration of President Cleveland prevented trouble on many occasions. This force was reduced after President McKinley came in. Presi­ dent McKinley, unlike his prodereaaor. log or walking at a dis-.ance behind him.

MUNITIONS FOR CUBA to the Rebels. One of the most colossal cargoes of war material ever sent to Cuba was stored Monday night on board of a steamer hove to off Montauk point, at the eastern cud of Long Island. The number of rifles and cartridges loaded on this vessel i# said to reach into the millions. These muni­ tions of war came from seven different tugs, which sped away from as many dif­ ferent ports on the Atlantic coast just before the hour of midnight Saturday. But secretly as the Cubans worked the Spanish spies discovered their plans, and Sunday night Government tugs with arm­ ed men alx»ard started from half a dozen porta on Long Inland sound and the Jer­ sey coast iu search of the filibuster. The search was fruitless. Spanish spies were watching a tug in the Delaware river last Saturday night. The tug was rapidly loaded with war sup­ plies and went to sea as soon as she had loaded. Ou that one tug alone there is said to have been 100,000 rounds of cart­ ridges nud more than 5lM> rifles. On reach­ ing the mouth of the river she started straight out to sea, bound, it is said, for a point outside the jurisdiction of the United Stales, where she would meet a steamer. DROPS DR. BROWN.

Gold stories are like fish stories, and miners, like fishermen, are always liars. For every man who has got rich prospecting for gold or silver, ninety-nine have forfeited their entire time and investment. Just about as many people make fortunes in mining as drawing prizes in loteries, and the chances of getting rich are about even between the two methods. । To correct several wrong reports re­ garding the re-districting of tne town­ ship of Castleton, we will give it as it is. The old division has been annuled and the first precinct flow consists of that portion of Nashville which lies east of Main street, with that part of the township lying east of the high-. wav running straight north from the village. The second precinct takes in that portion of the village which lies west of Main street and the balance of the township. Both polling places will be in the village, one at the town hall, the other on the west side of Main street, instead of at Morgan. LOCAL NBWS. Show next week. Read Glasgow’s new advt.

Brief Bits of Important New* Pearins on the Horror in ilnvunu Harbor. The wreck has sunk several feet already in the soft mud. The Spanish Government will stake all on the claim that the disaster was acci­ dental.

Emile Zola han been sentenced to faoprixosment for one year and to pay a fine of 3,000 francs, M. Perrrux, manager ot the Aurore, the Faris newspaper which printed Zola’* open letter to President Faure, is sentenced to imt7ri*cnmant for four mouths, nnd to pay a fine of 3,000 francs. Zola’s appeal to the justice of hi* .country has twen in vain. The spec­ tators within the conrt and the mob in the streets howled with joy when the sen­ tence was pronounced. The mob yelled “Death to Zola" and “Down with the Jews." Had it not been for the strong guard of police the mob would have drag­ ged Zola from his carriage and killed him. This result has freon expected fret since the complaint was filed. The charges were skillfully confined to Zola’s criti­ cism of the Estcrhaxy court martial, and ignored the Dreyfus question. The court steadily upheld thi* limitation ot the is­ sue. The jury was out les* than half an hour. The court promptly gave Zola the limit of the law. It is inadequate to describe that dis­ tracted country by saying that France 1* do longer a republic. It is better and truer to say that France has never been a republic. No man dares cry “Vive In repUblique!" in the street* of Paris. “Zola has been condemned, nnd the army is avenged,” cries the pre** and the public.

Rewards Offered for Those Who Killed the Negro Postmaster. The moat revolting crime ever perpe­ trated by white men in South Carolina was committed nt Lake City, Williams­ burg County, at 1 o’clock Tuesday morn­ ing. when Postmaster Baker, a negro, and his family were burned out of their home, the postmaster and n babe in arms killed and the wife and three daughter* shot and maimed for life. Baker was appointed postmaster three months ago. Lake City is a town of 500 inhabitants, nnd the nrgre population in the vicinity is large. There was a protest at Baker's appointment, but it was not a very vigor­ ous one. Information of the killing of the post­ master and the burning of his office came to the Postoffice Department at Wash­ ington in a dispatch from Inspector Wil­ liams, in charge of the district, who has headquarter* at Chattanooga. The lat­ ter’s telegram was very brief, and mere­ ly told of the killing of the man and the burning of the office. He will send an in­ spector to the scene of the tragedy at once to investigate and make a full re­ port of the case to the department. When this is obtained the Department of’Jus­ tice will be asked to prosecute the per­ sons engaged in the crime. The Postmas­ ter General ha* offered a reward of $300 for the arrest and conviction of. the per­ son* who burned the postoffice, and a re­ ward of $500 for the arrest and conviction of the portions who murdered the post­ master at the same time.

"And for myself, Miss Rayne, I suppose I liad better ix-at up the stackers at the Lower Farm?’ said Jasper, with an as­ sumption of being completely at his ease. "As you please, Mr. Lyle," replied Eve­ lyn, gravely, and then she turned to Ag­ nes. “I suppose I had better tell you that there will be a couple of gentlemen to din­ ner this evening, as you may like to make a little difference In your toilet” .. The travelers were very punctual. She had sent the carriage to meet them at St Mary Ottery, and before she had been down three minutes, they were in the room beside her, Captain Philip grasping her hands with a pressure that said, “You are mine!—you are mine!” while be strove coherently to introduce the white-haired stranger who accompanied him ns hto “best friend, Mr. Greville!"

The little law­ yer seemed very inquisitive upon the sub­ ject, and would have the history of each separate picture iu turn. "A fine, handsome boy, evidently," he observed; “what a pity he was lost—what an ainiction to his parents, and yet, had he survived, you wouldn’t be sitting at the head of the table at this moment.

I have often said (haven't I. Captain Philip?) that I should never be surprised to see Cuusiu Hugh turn up again." "You have, indeed; and I have often replied that I couldn't imagine how a sensible woman could entertain such an alMurd idea.” . "I wouLHn^ you prepare yourself for a shock, said Mr. Greville. “I am on old aud intimate friend of the Caryll fam­ ily.

(The end.) > Three Lives Saved. Two Parisian gendarmes were walk­ ing along the banks of the Canal d’Ourcq one day a few weeks ago, says the Gazette Anesdotlque, when they came across a beautiful Russian deer­ hound, evidently astray. On his collar was nothing except what was evidently his name—“Dimitri." Tying a stout cord to his neck, the po­ licemen led him along with them, mean­ ing to take him to the pound.

FRIDAY MARCH 4,1898 The nomination of the men best fit­ ted to serve tbe people is good policy. There is as much talk about the navy at present as there is about a gay married man.

It is said that as soon as the anexation of Hawaii is announced, one hundred families from South Caro­ lina, and as many others from other southern states, will go to Hawaii. The idea prevails that they can make money faster by raising coffee in Ha­ waii than by raising cotton in the south, and with less labor. The exo­ dus from the south will be one of the most remarkable f vents of the close of the century. American railway .employes receive more pay tbun railway employes in any other country.

A number of our exchanges are cen­ suring President McKinley for not de­ claring war with Spain at once, and it is evident that those papers do not know what they are talking about. They do not stop to think what a grave thing war is, and that the best way out of it is to avoid it. If it is found that the battleship Maine was wrecked by Spanish treachery and Spain is not willing to atone for it and pay up all damages satisfactor­ ily to the government, then it is time to go to war. President McKinley has acted very cool and sensible so far and is commended by all fair’ minded men.. Dun & Co.’s weekly-review of trade iys: Foreign possibilities . have much affected speculation and caused hesitation is gotr« large business op­ eration#, probably accounting in part for a check in the rapid advance of wheat, but industrial production con- ous communication in which Mine Wilcox, I auppoM, thought ehe was doing justice to herself, her many friends and this community and also to that illustrious son. who she claims has gained more notoriety than might have fallen to bls lot in a lifetime. I will say that It is a very poor way to get out of trouble by laying the blame on some one else. I circulated a petition for a special school meeting February 4tb, and was successful io getting one called the 12th, which resulted in Miss Wil­ cox discontinuing her school. It was voted to pay her *10, for which she agreed to surrender her contract. She says “bls kindness to me was a source of remark.” Ah for klndhttw, I have always had a little of that •ntiout me and am not sorry for it, but I am very sorry to think that people will try to persuade other people to believe as they do. I think it Is tbe duty of every tax­ payer, whether he has children to send to school or not, to be interested enough about tbe school to have a school that all of tbe pupils are Inter­ ested in, and then they will all learn faster than they would if they were not interested at all. At the time they met at my father’s to talk over the proceedings for the winter term of school. I was not at home so I do not know wbat transpired that night, but the people across the road told me that Miss Wilcox told them that she did not have any trouble in getting the school, but that she was to teach It by tbe day, so If it was a secret she was the first one to let ft out that I heard of. As for the angry patron, of whom she spoke, I do not know any­ thing about what transpired at the school that day* except by bear-say. As for .the hoodlums she referred to, I do not know who they are or who she referred to unless it is that illustrious son that she refers to; as for it being me I will say that I can prove myself clear of that Job. Now, as for Mrs. Grundy, who she says Is tarnished with a winter’s occupation, if she means that for herself 1 think it has closed (or this winter in this district. I do not know that I have lost my self­ respect, but I think she is taking a very poor way to get out of her trouble by laying the blame on the illus­ trious son and his friends. I will say the son’s friends are the, best men we have In our district. When the district and the board of examiners met at Hastings that illustrious son was there and it was proved that she had annuled her con­ tract, but not her certificate. The prosecutor, who acted in behalf of the district board, advised the surrender of her contract to him immediately, and be also said that if she did not discontinue her school the board should serve a notice on her to do so at once. Nqw, readers, before you lay all the blame on me and my friends I wish you would take the communications and read all of them over very care­ fully or investigate before you settle tbe blame on the Illustrious sou and bis friends.

The Egyptians resorted to dancing to express religious emotion; it was one of the cherished arts of ancient Greece and later of ancient Rome, disappear­ ing with the fall of the empire and re­ asserting itself during the early period of the Christian church. It is said that dancing is not so much in favor as it used to be, that people do not care to enjoy themselves after this particular fashion. If this is so it nwjMuta pastime Hint has endured since die beginning of things is doomed to extinction. Dancing can be traced as far back as 2545 B. C. During the last 30 years dancing has changed. The opera ballet, which was the poetry of motion, is gone, and noth­ ing but the skirt dance remains. As for modern ballroom dancing it cannot be described as artistic, for when it is not merely a walk around the room it is a game of romps. At the time of the French revolution the populace danced the horrible carmagnole nnd 23 theaters and 1,800 public halls were open every night. Then came the days of Taglioni, Elssler and Grisi, and such enthusiasm for the dance has never been equaled in these later days. Everyone was wild over the art, and the ballet was admired from sheer love of the beautiful. $ Ladies Umbrella z Remnant Prints 2 for....................... of Barry, »UU> of Michigan: Hire la hereby gtren that Saturday, March 12, qtTsni remos.-iM) i««~. 20t> fulI-t-MR il tn 16 PA RTS. quarto six*, review questions to aa« -k: wtuskT Dated thia 1st day of March, i Ifrft/it-X ThB Horror-Stricken inaia ™ The News Three Months for 10 cents. 1 i New Finn New Goods.

EARLY FAVORABLE REPORT ON BUSI­ NESS BY BRADSTREET’S- Increasing Strain in Political Affair* Has Not Perceptibly Affected Dis­ tributive Trade-Demand forAgricul-: Bradstreet’s commercial report *ny«; “While biudnews of a speculative nature baa been quick to reflect the increasing •train iu j«olidcal affairs in reduced val­ ues and withdrawals or curtailment of ac­ tivity in some lines, there is little to indi­ cate that the volume of distributive trade lias been reduced, and reports to Brad•ireet’s this week, so far aa the latter branch of business is concerned, nre among the best received this year. With few inq>ortant exceptions, tbe price sit­ uation is oik* of strength, while the en­ larged >h*mand for coarse grains is taken to reflect the turning of attention from tbe higher-priced cereals to those of a lower-priced character. The cotton situa­ tion Is one of firmness, reflecting alike the curtailment of production growing out of labor trouble* am! tbe firmnews of raw cotton, induced by a good export de­ mand. Wool is firm, but the demand has perceptibly slackened, nnd there is less doing in manufactured goods. Tbe best report as to the distribution of trade made ao far this year couhv from the Central West. Spring trade there is reported ear­ lier than usual. Kansas City, perhaps the most important market for agricultural implements iu the country, reports the demand exceeding all records, and sales limited only by the ability to deliver or­ ders. The demand for iron and steel at the West still continues large, and prices are firm. A feature of Chicago trade has been the placing of an order for 5.000 tons of steel rails for a railroad in Alas­ ka. Almost equally good reports come from the Northwest, where trade is re­ ported either folly equal to or ahead of last year. Exports of wheat. Including flour, from this country and Canada, dur­ ing the last week (five days) aggregate 3,722,469 bushels, against 3,932,744 bush­ els last week. Corn exports amount to 3,(8)2,799 bushels, against 5,056,575 bush­ els last week.” ALONE WITH A LIONESS Train No. 6 on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, leaving Chicago, had attached to it a baggage car, in charge of Baggage­ master G. T. Laphnm of that city. The trip was the most exciting in his recollec­ tion. for he had as a sole companion a huge lioness, which bad broken loo«e from her cage in the car and looked very hun­ gry. She belongs to Frank C. Bostock of Chicago, and was consigned to a men­ agerie showing in Pittaburg. About efghty-five miles out of Chicago Ijipham looked up from his work aud there, in the middle of the car. glaring at him, was the lioness, loose. Keeping his eyes firm­ ly fixed on the beast I-apham slowly rose from the chair and backed toward the door. As soon as he reached, it, it did not take him long to open tbe door and get outside on the platform. Aa laphiun opened tbe door the lioness jumi*ed, but missed him.

His competitor for the presidency will probably be Manigat, at present min­ ister to France.

President Augustus Simon Sam has proved himself weak and vacil­ lating in the extreme, and bis adminis­ tration has lost favor in the country from its cowardly policy over the Emile Lued­ ers incident acid its inability to remedy tbe present deplorable financial condition. Fouchard was a candidate for the presi­ dency at the death of Hippolyte. The party of the late president, which con­ trolled political matters at the time, nom­ inated instead Simon Sam. who has been merely a puppet in the hands of the wire pullers. Fouchard became minister of finance, but was eventually dismissed on charges of peculation. Tbe financial and commercial condition of the island could scarcely be worse.

Remarkable Operation Performed on Harry Beno of Columbus, O., who has quite a reputation for swallowing poisons, having needles run into him and doing various other things that an ordinary man who wishes to live docs not do, was the victim of a remarkable operation. It was performed by physicians of tbe Ohio Medical University, the marvelous fea­ tures being not so much in tbe operation as the character and behavior of the pa­ tient. 'ITie operation consisted of remov­ ing. without the aid of anaesthetics, three* awl points which bad broken off in some former experiments in the skull of tbe man. While the operation Itself waa not a dangerous one, the fact that it was made without anaesthetics makes it won­ derful. Dr. Kinsman, iu an address to the students after the operation, said that It b the first case of the kind that has ever been reported.

The fact that tbe Gov­ ernment is preparing for contingencies was recognized when Chairman Cannon, who has been laboring to keep down ap­ propriations, accepted without a word of protest an amendment to Increase the ap­ propriation to care for the unused machin­ ery at the Springfield arsenal. Resolu­ tion* which were objected to a few weeks agu for the appointment of two extra naval cadets to positions in the engineer corp* of the navy were also adopted. One of them will fill a vacancy caused by the death of Lieut. Merritt of the Maine. A feature of the Senate's session was the speech of Mr. Spooner (Wisconsin) on the right of Henry W. Corbett to a seat in tbe Senate from Oregon under appoint­ ment of the Governor. Mr. Sj-ooner made a constitutional argument in favor of seat­ ing Mr. Corbett. An effort was made to obtain consideration of the Alaskan hornet stead and railway right of way bill, but on a parliamentary technicality It went over. The resolution offered on Wednes­ day by Mr. Allen (Nebraska) to appobit a committee of five Senators to Investifate the Culian situation was withdrawn by its author when it was laid'before tbe Senate.

On motion of Mr. Bailey, tbe Democratic leader, tbe House voted—58 to 85—to ob­ serve Washington's birthday by adjourn­ ing over until Wednesday, but Mr. Ding­ ley raised the point of uo quorum and before further action could be taken tbe House rectwacd. For three hours the Senate had under discussion tbe bill pro­ viding for tbe taking of the twelfth and subsequent censuses. It was amended so as to place tfie census bureau under tbe Secretary of the Interior, but tbe ex­ tended discussion which followed disclos­ ed so wide a divergence of views as to the various features of the measure that no further action was taken. A resolu­ tion offered by Mr. Allen, directing the Committee on Naval Affair* to make an investigation of the Maine disaster, waa adopted without debate. On Wednesday a variety of subjects occupied the attention of the House dur­ ing the consideratipn of the sundry civil bill. Mr. Mahany of New York made an attack on tbe patriotism of some of thesocial leaden of New York, who, he said, held high revel while tbe nation was bowed down with grief over the loss of life resulting from the Maine explosion.

At midnight the night shift of 500 men went up the ohaft to eat lunch, leaving two of their number on watch down on the 1,400foot level. When the workmen started to return to their work they found the mine on fire and the abaft full of smoke. They could hear the shrieks of the two watch­ men who were being roasted alive.

Before leaving Santiago de Cuba the of­ ficers of the Montgomery gathered such data as to the state of affairs in the prov. Ince of Santiago de Cuba as their short stay would allow. The province of San­ tiago de Cuba contained 267.511 inhabi­ tants at the last census. Since the out­ break of the present war no accurate es­ timate of the population has been made. Before the war the city of Santiago de Cuba had 56,770 inhabitants. This has been reduced to about 35,000 by the de­ parture of most of the able-bodied men to take part in the war. This loss of pop­ ulation was in spits of the quartering there of about 5,000 laboring people from the surrounding country. In October there were 253 deaths in the city; in No­ vember, 320; in December, 424, and In January, 486. During the first week In February the mortality was only onehalf of the weekly average of January. This marked decrease is attributed to the free distribution of quinine from the Uni­ ted States consulate. There is but one means of public relief In operation at present, and this i* known as the cocina economico. It is under the management of a German subject named Michaebon. The rocina economico is supported by vol­ untary contributions of the citizens of Santiago. The Spanish government has not aided thb charity as yet, but the au­ tonomist governor. Scnor Capales, has promised Mr. Michaebon $1,000. toward its maintenance. Wood and coal are given in addition to food, and there does not appear to be any urgent need of further assists nee from the United States for the city of Santiago de Cuba. Eighty-nine citizens of the United States are now sup­ plied with rations from the United States consulate. Henry Naggles, a Grant County, Wis­ consin farmer, at a revival meeting con­ fessed that six year* ago he and two companions murdered a peddler near Fennimore, Wis., and, after robbing the dead man, cut hb body into *maU pieces, which they buried. He said that one of hb sompanion* was now serving a penitentta^y senteftre for another murder and the other wan living somewhere in Iowa.

The visit of this committee Is looked upon an an especial favor by St. Joseph business men. Verdict of the Naval Board Is Pa­ tiently Awaited. Disaster—Belligerent Congressmen The naval court of Inquiry In the case of the ill-fateU battleship Maine is pro­ ceeding as a court martial aud keeping its proceedings to itself. The Secretary of tion not given to the public, that he knows nothing of the character of the evidence taken, or the opinions or conclusions of the board of inquiry. What is more to the point. Secretary Long intimates that he does not expect to Know anything about how the Maine was destroyed until the taard of inquiry make»u ita report, which may be not for two or three weeks. With such positive assertions from Secre­ tary Long, there can be nothing but spec­ ulation in Washington as to what the ver­ dict will lie. There is plenty of specula­ tion and little of it is now in line with the accident theory. In the absence of exciting news from Havana there has been a noticeable cessa­ tion of the war talk in Washington. The conservative attitude fif the President has reflected in Congress, and members who first would listen to nothing but war arc now disposed to wait patiently for the actual decision by the court of inquiry. Members of Congress, says a Washington correspondent, are gradually coming to see that events are moving fast enough without any assistance on their part, and that if an entside explosion Is proved and an indemnity demanded Spain wonld nearly certainly refuse it and thus justify the President in interfering actively to preserve peace in Cuba. It is said at both the State and Navy Departments that, there is no disposition to delay the publi­ cation of the finding of the board, but it is more than hinted that in nil probability the board will merely present the facts and say that they are too vague to make a positive declaration one way or the oth- That contingency will produce new com­ plications, and it is probably this which has induced the President to say positive­ ly that there is no immediate prospect ot any war between this country and Spain, for if the board of inquiry Is not able to reach a positive finding it will be exceed­ ingly difficult for the State Department to formulate any kind of a demand upon Spain. The President will not precipitate the country in a war unless the facts are such as to justify him in the eyes of an overwhelming majority of the people. He evidently realizes, however, the strained relations between the two countries aud the active possibility if not probability of a dispute arising which could only be set­ tled by a show of force on the part of this country. The President's desire for and belief in peace has not interfered in any way with the orders issued to the army and navy to put the armed forces of the country into a condition for active service. It is dis­ tinctively announced that this is the ounce of prevention rather than the pound of cure and that tjje preparations will con­ tinue until al! possibility of actual war has been disposed of. 9o far as the general public is concern­ ed the war scare has subsided, for the present at least. There may be more ex­ citement when the report of the court of inquiry on the Maine disaster is received, but it may not be easy to stir the country up again. Besides, it is now pretty well BOARD OF INQUIRY EXAMINING A WOUNDED MARINE. matter to be rushed through in haste. All the investigation the court has so far been able to make in Havana was'of a purely preliminary character. The members will now hare to carefully and patiently watch the wrecking operations for further evi­ dence. Secretary Long docs not profess to be­ lieve in the accident theory as he did for several days after the Maine was blown up. Other members of the cabinet be­ lieve, as does Secretary Long, that the ship was blown up by design. The ex­ perts in the nary also believe this, or now profess to believe It, but they will await facts before expressing positive opinions. Method in the Silence. It may be truthfully asserted, however, says a well-informed Washington corre­ spondent. that nine out of every ten mem­ bers of Congress believe there is a deep significance in the seemingly dilatory tac­ tics of the administration in regard to the disaster. They believe that President McKinley and the members of his cabinet seamen deprived Senators and Represent­ atives of un opportunity to discuss the sit­ uation growing out of the Maine disaster. Naval preparations go on as before, but the diplomatic policy of the administra­ tion with regard to the Cuban question is held in abeyance. Thooe dose to the President say that he is less apprehensive of the consequences of the disaster than he was a week ago. These represent Mc­ Kinley as being inclined to think that the w'arlike spirit of the people which broke out so fiercely upon receipt of news that the Maiue had been destroyed is subsiding somewhat. That the disaster to the Maine has up­ set completely the President’s Cuban pol­ icy is indicated by the fact that the time has already arrived when the ultimatum of the administration was to have been sent to Spain. It was generally under­ stood the Sagasta ministry would not be permitted to postpone beyond March its reply to the demands made U|K>n it by Woodford, but the President knows no more now officially as to whether Wood­ ford’s mission is to meet with success or failure than be-did when the minister for­ warded Sagasta's first reply to his Dote of instructions. . ' EIGHT-HOUR LAW IS UPHELD. Inportant Supreme Coart Decision on BARTOI.OME MASSO, PRlMDrST OF CCBA. In the Supreme Court at Washington an opinion was handed down in the case of E. F. Holden vs. the sheriff of Shit Lake County, Utah, upholding the con­ stitutionality of the territorial law fixing a day’s work in smelters and mines iu the territory at eight hours. Mr. Holden was arrested for violating the law and was sentenced to imprison­ ment. He brought the case to the Su­ preme Court in an effort to secure a writ of error on the ground that the law was unconstitutional i*. that it was calculated to deprive a citizen of life or property without due process of law. The court held that such was not the case, but that the law was an exercise of the State's police powers. Justice Brown said in passing upon the case that it was not the intention of the court to paw generally upon the constitu-, tionality of eight-hour laws, but that in so far as State laws were exerted for the protection of the lives, the health or the morals of a community there could be no doubt of their propriety or of their constitutionality. There could lie do doubt of the exceptional and unhealthful char­ acter of work in smelters or mines, be­ cause of bad air, high temperature and noxious gases, and hence the wisdom of the State legislation.- The decision of the Supreme Court of Utah was affirmed are not so much in the dark regarding the information secured by the court of in­ quiry is indicated by the official bulle­ tins, and that there is method in the si­ lence. Many of the members are convinc­ ed that the President is playing for time and that every minute is being utilized to make preparations for war. Other members believe that the President has received word from the court of inquiry that the explosion was an accident and that he la taking measures to hare it ap­ pear that the court is making a most ex­ haustive and deliberate investigation in order that do cry may be raised that a snap verdict was returned.

She had slipped it under a rich wrap which she wore and had pro­ ceeded ns far as the outer door when a detective in the employ of the caterer headed her off. This la hardly an un­ usual occurrence. At the public recep­ tions women thieves have been accus­ tomed to steal china, silverware aud even common dishes. So great has become the nuisance that those giving the receptions no longer use their own dishes. A cater­ er is hired to supply everything and be also supplies detectives to watch his prop­ erty. These detectives are sometimes in the disguise of maids, who assist the la­ dies with their wraps, but more often ap­ pear as guests in proper gowns and suit*. A short time ago a lady who goes in the very best Washington society was dis­ covered stealing valuable pins from the dresser nt a small private dinner. She was confronted by her hostess and said she had slipped the jewelry into her pock­ et so that it might not be stolen by the maids who were about the dressing room. The most unique application for officu that han yet been filed under this admin­ istration comes from Alouzo Bradford, who wishes to be postmaster at Hay­ wards, Cal. Accompanying his applica­ tion is a letter of recommendation, sign­ ed by a large number of Republican poli­ ticians and citizens of the place, together with an X ray photograph of his left knee. The photograph shows that a bullet en­ tered his knee at the joint, pushed up the kneecap and lodged between the bones of the upper and lower parts of the leg. The buffet is stiff there, it being impossible to dislodge it by probing, and the only way in which it can be removed is by amputation of the leg. Mr. Bradford stated that the bullet waa received at the battle of Fort Donelson, and that he had carried it ever since. The statement is frequently made that Speaker Reed la a rich man, but a dose personal friend says that this is far from the truth. Only lately he said Mr. Reed was complaining that he had to live in one small room at the Shoreham and write for magazines to eke ont his income. The Mrs. William H.

Around the house the wind was shriek­ ing with mournful vehemence, dow aud then flinging great drops of rain against the window panes. The moon, which half an hour before was shining with exquisite brilliancy, now lay hidden behind banks af heavy clouds; nnd tbe fitful gusts of -wind that swept round corners nnd moan­ ed through the pine branches betokened a storm before the morning, while up from the sea came the sad monotonous roar of the waves ns diey thundered against the «iant rocks. “There is thunder in the air," said Lady Alary, looking up thoughtfully. Lady Mary looked older than she really -was; but her face was still beautiful in . spite of years of trouble and ill-heakh. She was a tall, stately woman with se­ verely aristocratic features and the dtatingnished air which cannot be acquired. She was knitting placidly. Occasionally she raised her head to cast a glance of unaffected tendernt*M upo» o lad of about -fifteen who was bending over a book at a ■mall table near. He was Lady Mary's nephew, the son of her dead brother, and tbe last of his name. In him—this youth­ ful earl—nil her hopes were centered; and she lavished upon him a mother’s love— .ahp who had never been a mother. A changed expression passed over her •face as the storm developed. On just •ueh a night as this her brother, Lord Wriothesley, the father of the lad before her, had been thrown from his horse nnd brought home to the Towers lifeless. On ■uch a night two long years buck her true love, to whom she was to have been martied on that day week, was drowned off St. David’s Head. Alas, for such storms as these! They boded no good to the. old eace to which she belonged, and which ■eemed to be now fast drawing to its “What a night!” said Lady Mary, with -• nervous start. “I like it.” said the lad. holding his head ■erect, as though enjoying the warfare -without.

Half way across the room, however, he came to « standstill His face turned pale, and his eyes wore an eager, strained expres­ sion, as though he were listening for something. At the same moment Lady Mary cried out abruptly: “What was that?" She, too, had risen, and now moved drawn up to its full height; her fine eyes shone brightly. All the petty tremors •hat had shaken her a few minutes before were now gone, having given place to a sudden feeling of strength aud courage. She stood calm and self-possessed, al­ though anxiouj*. Above the storm they had heard a shrill, wild cry. which even now, though faint and wailing, was strong enough to pierce the riotous war of the gale and the dashtog of the rain drops upon the gravel with­ out It was the cry wf a child in sore dis­ tress. It sounded more plaintive and weak every moment, but it seemed to be coming nearer to the house. “Summon tbe servants; it is some j»oor creature kt distress!” cried Lady Mary, waking a rapid movement toward the bell. “No, no; I will go myself,” said tbe boy, walking to the window that opened on to a long balcony. “In this storm. Fulke—in this rain? Oh. no, darling!" she entreated; but he waa not listening to her. Lord Wriothesley pulled oi>en tbe case­ ment with a vigorous hand, and there, shivering in the darkness, stood a forlorn looking litt le tiling that made Lady Mary And her nephew shiver. It was a child—a mere babe. The cloak -that had been wrapped round it bad fallen hack, and now the pretty, rounded, uplift­ ed arms were wet with the raiu. The soft yellow locks that should have been some mother's tendrrest pride were tangled and wet. The small face looked ghastly, and tears fell from the little one's eyes, while gasping sobs came from her lips. The □ext violent gust of wind dashed -the poor little waif against the side of the -open window. The tiny baby bands -chrtcbcd convulsively nt the wood work; tort no cry escaped her lips then. Her strength seemed gone. “It is a child—a childf cried Lady Mary, in a compassionate tone, hurrying The little one. however.

He bowed very low to her and crossed the room to. where Mrs. Scarlett sat en­ throned amidst her rourtiers. He stood on the outskirts of her little court, until presently, one after another of her admir­ ers having moved away, he felt himself almost alone with her. As Wriothesley approached her Mrs. Scarlett—who very seldom gave any man her hand in greeting—received him with a smile. "You are late," she said. Her voice was low, clear. IIor eyes rested on him thoughtfully for a few moments; nnd then, apparently satisfied with whatever knowledge she had gained, she turned them away from him. ’Those are kinder words than you have said to me for many a day: they at least permit me to hope <nat you have missed me.” he said. "It is you who have missed something,” she said—“more than you know.” "Not more than I know,” he replied, looking at her earnestly. "You I miss al­ ways: and these last, interminable hours in which I have fan kept from yon, in spite of all my efforts, have been worse than death.” "How you squander your talents!" she continued. "Have you no thought for the morrow? If you expond ybur entire stock of sentiment now, what will you have in the future?” “You, I hope,” he returned, promptly. “You are bold,” she said, presently, yet the boldness of his wooing seemed to please her. She drew her skirts aside as if to grant him a seat beside her. "No; do not let us stay here,” he en­ treated—“let me take you to a place where one can breathe in comfort. The con­ servatories arc, comparatively speaking, cool.” "So I have been told ever since I came. It is the cry on every lip—The rooms are purgatory, the conHcrvatories paradise. Come, let us enter therein!* ” He bent over her; his eyes sought and met hers. He was very handsome, and, suddenly, almost without her knowledge, as it were, she found she had risen and was moving with him across the room. (To be continued.) THE CARE«FREE VIENNESE.

While the avowed purpose of the Japanese lega­ tion’s inquiry is to ataist friends and rela­ tives iu identifying those loot or saved in the disaster, it is suggested that Japan may have something to say to Spain Id case the Maine shall l<e declared to have been destroyed by an external attack. Japan has always jealously guarded her citizens abroad, and might occupy the same ground as the United States in seek­ ing such redress as would be appropriate to the case ns finally established.

In comparing the naval forces of the two countries this difference in classi­ fication should be borne in mind. Ac­ cording to tbe Spanish system of rating WILL NOT HELP SPAIH.

Even if the Spaniards did, at some unde­ fended point, succeed in effecting a land­ ing. any force which they could land from a fleet would lx? speedily overwhelmed. Then there is tfoe United States fleet, which coufd noth help In the defense ot the coast and operate against the Spanish possessions in the West Indies. If the Spanish fleet came to the ^oosl the American fleet would meet it off the point' it aimed at and in all probability anmhilate It. If the Spanish fleet con­ centrated in the West ludiea, the North Atlantic squadron would meet it there nnd try the arbitrament of battle in those waters. If the Spanish fleet split up, part coming on the const and part going to the West Indies, the American navy would lx? able to leave enough vessels to assist the forts and the land forces in the pro­ tection of the seaboard, and could concen­ trate an orerwhdu|jj>g force against the part of the Spanish navy left iu the West Indian waters. Here is a list of our available vessels in the Atlantic: The battleships Indiana, Iowa and Massachusetts; armored cruis­ ers Now York and Brooklyn; voco»d-clas« battleship Texas; the cruisers Detroit, Marblehead, Montgomery, Essex, Alli­ ance, Cincinnati, San Francisco. Colum­ bia and Minneapolis; gunboats NashviUe, coal from England. She could not supply it to her transatlantic fleet. In case of war with the United States the coal to maintain her fleet on this side of the water would have to come from England. Now coal Is a contraband of war, and a British ship carrying coal to the Spanish fleet would be liable to capture. That some coal would get to the fleet from England is undoubted, for there never wm a block­ ade yet In the world which was absolute­ ly effective. But It is also a fact that enough could not escape the vigilance of American cruisers to keep tbe Spanish fleet supplied, and what did get through would cost the Spanish Government enor­ mously. If war should come between Spain and the United States, this Government would be able to move in the field of naval and military operations with a celerity, a com­ pleteness of organization, an effectiveness which would astonish the world. The navy of the United States is now practi­ cally on a war footing. Not only have our fighting ships been equipped with am­ munition nnd fully manned, but every possible preparation in the way of coaling nnd opening of lines of communication has been made. Our naval authorities know now, and have known for months, just how cable communication may be estab­ lished to various parts of the West In­ ever from any EnnqH-an Government in the event of war with thr United States, whether arising out of the destruction of the Maine or because of American inter­ vention in Cuba. It is tbe general opin­ ion of diplonuttirts in London and other capitals that the diaaster to the battleship Maine is having an effect to postpone in­ stead of to hasten the Interveneion of the United States in Cuba. According to London, advices every Eu­ ropean power received several week* ago a frank, though informal, statement of American intention* in regard to the Cu­ ban situation. It nuty lie said without re­ serve that the policy thus disclosed met with no European opposition. This pol­ icy, as understood by the British foreign office, and outlined by British diplomat­ ists, is as follows: The United Stn ter since last summer has been insisting that Spain must restore peace in Cuba. Finally, the Sagasta cab­ inet was given to understand that unless peace* was in sight by March 1. tbe United States would actively intervene. Thia, while nut technically an ultimatum, be­ cause it was not jxtft of a formal diplo­ matic correspondence, was, in effect, noth­ ing leas. The Spanish Government so un; derrtood it, and s? did every chancellery in Europe. No European power gave any sign of willingness to protest in behalf of Spain, though the Spanish ’ Government nt first hoped to secure at least the ••friendly office*"’ of Anstria or France to induce the United States to refrain from intervention. The attitude of Great Brit­ ain has been particularly disappointing to S]*ain. The disputes of the United States and Great Britain over various matters seem to have inspired the Span­ ish Government with :i hope that some moral support, at least, might Im* obtained in London. The British Government has refused point blank to meddle in the matx«-. WAS A CUBAN ViCTORY. Spanish Loss 1,000Killed i a 1 Wonudcd at Holguin. Reports of the recent battle at Holguin, Province of Santiago de Cuba, have been received in New York. Instead of the battle being a Spanish victory, as repre­ sented from Havana, it was a disastrous defeat, followed by a retreat on the part of tlie Spanish forces. This information is the cause for a great amount of rejoic­ ing in New York Cnlrnn cities, because the guns and ammunition shipped from Long Island levs than n month ago were used in the fight. Owing to the character of the country less than 2.000 of the Spanish troops could be brought into actian^wbeD tbe Cubans opened fire, aud tbe Cuban force of leas than a thousand men could not be dislodg­ ed. Gen. Garcia** command did not reach its full strength until tlie fifth day after the fighting began. On this day the Spanish columns retreated in confusion, carrying tbe wounded to Holguin and leaving 200 dead on the field. The Cu­ bans’ loss in the five days’ fighting was leas than fifty killed. The real Spanish loss will never be known, as the dead and wounded were taken from tbe field at night. It is estimated that nearly one thousand were killed and wounded. The Cubans in the field, according to the letters, arc praying for the United States to strike a blow in order that they may attack Havana from the land. To MOTHERS.

Tbe Court of Inquiry held Its sessions in Government Building in th • fo eground; Fort Tay.or is In tbe distance on the left. Spain has eight battleships to our five, while according to our higher standard we have six battleships to her one, and that one “no good.” With its regular army and organized militia the-United--States could put into the field immediately nn army of 150,000 inec, and the full fighting strength of tlie •Enrolled" militia which might be called upon in case of need h over 10.000.00U men. The army of Spain on a war foot­ ing is about 200,000 men. In order to send to Cuba the 150,000 men with which she has been prosecuting her unsuccessful war there she has been obliged to resort to conscription and has sent out regiments composed of mere boys. Her legitimate military resources are exhausted, and in the event of a big war a levy "en masse” is all that is left her. This, she claims, would give her 1,000.000 men. But even if there were not such great discrepancies between the powers of the two nations Spain would ■till be at tremendous disadvantage in trying to carry on war across 3.000 miles of ocean against an enemy fighting within easy distance of its base of supplies. The transportation and maintenance of troops in large numbers in a distant coun­ try is an undertaking fraught with diffi­ culty and involving a tremendous expeBBe. To maintain a powerful fleet of warships 3,000 miles from home is also an operation calculated to deplete even a well-stocked treasury. The supplying of food, medicines and military stores for the Spanish army in Cuba has been found so difficult and ex­ pensive from Spain that it has been done to a considerable extent by purchase in this couatry. If there were war with thr United States »o further supplies could go front this country to the stranded army and to convey stores and supplies from Spain if it is difficult in times of peace, what would it be with armed merchant men and swift cruisers sweeping the ocean on the lookout for prises? Every supply ship would have to sail under convoy of cruisers able to beat off the cruisers of the United States. Spain's navy could never carry on a war and sup­ ply sufficient cruisers for convoy duty at the same time. Tbe United States coaid easily land an expeditionary force Id Cuba. Tbe we with which flfibr.stering expeditions land there ia proof of it. A strong expeditionary force joined with tb. .mu’ at M.imw G«wx •ween the Maud. Meantime th* harbors of the United 4Rat« are fairly well defended with mod- Wilmington, Newport, Vicksburg. Annap­ olis, Castine, Bancroft and Helena; dyna­ mite vessel Vesuvius; torpedo boats Por­ ter, Foote, Dupont, Cushing, Ericsson and Winslow, and the monitors Amphi­ trite, Terror and Puritan. Meantime, io the Pacific ocean the Unit­ ed States has the battleship Oregon and the cruisers Olympia, Boston, Raleigh, Petrel, Baltimore and Bennington, the coart defense vessel Monterey and some old vessels. A portion of this force only would be necessary for a descent upon the Spanish possessions in the Philippines, where the insurgents are still in the field. All this is giving Spain the benefit of every doubt as to her ability to make a fight. The probability is that there would be only one conflict, aud that a short one, off the harbor of Havana. Then it would be all over. The most effective fleet that Spain eouid send pver would consist of the armored DBIIXrXG JATAL CADETS IM Con DOCK, embers Etsprrador Corios V, lufanta Mana Theresa, Vizcaya, Aliniranu.* Oquedon, Catalnna, Cardinal Cisneros and IMncessa de Asturias. It takes K.4O0 tow of coal to give these seven ships their normal coal supply. The fleet would use up its first 8.400 tons in getting across the Atlantic. To eoal kt three time* when operating on this side of the water would take ffi.200 tons. Where ia Spain going tn get that amount of anal? The cml with which abe suppiira her blockading fleet now ia Cuban waters comes from Philadelphia and New York. She has little coal stored m Havana and has encroached greatly upon the store ahe had tai Ports Eire. Spain henett c»ta ter dies, just what it will be necessary to do in r-ase certain cables are cut nnd to just what points dispatch bouts mucl be sent. They know, too, about coal supplies, dry docks, fortifications, guns, depth of water, etc., throughout Spanish America. In fact, the Navy Department and tbe War Department have together prepared a complete military campaign. Every detnjjPirwhanged. It is known just what the fleets are to do, just what tbe army is to do, in ease of war. No precious days will be wasted in preparing tbe plan of campaign, in deciding what is to be done. All that has been attended to. The plan is complete aud perfect. Every ship, ev­ ery regiment, every transport, veasel, ev­ ery man will b* rent to its or hb proper place the instant the word of command is given by Cocigrere. If there should be a war the militia of tbe various States would play an Impor­ tant part in it. Months ago the War De­ partment rent out secret agents to make reports upon the State militia—tlie num­ ber of men that could be put in the field, their drill, discipline, equipments, bat­ teries. field outfit, etc. Having amassed all possible information, tbe authorities here know what they enn depend upon. They know, for inatanre. that witbin 24 hours, iu addition to a part of the regular or Federal army, 20,0<)0 militiamen can be ou tbe railway trains en route for the •eaboard. They know that within 48 hours 40.(100 mon can he ou tbe cars. They know that within ten days, counting reg­ ular troojfs and militia, 75.000 men enn lx* mobili«*d at tbe seaports. In ail 100,000 trained and equipped soldiers are availa­ ble for tbe offensive or defensive opera­ tions of the Government. Without any excitement or haste, or any pressure from the Presideut or members of the cabinet, tbe various bureaus of the two military <iepnrtinm>ts of the Govern­ ment have for a lotag time been making preparation* for active operatious. It is a matter of professional pride with tbe chiefs of these bureaus to get all the bnsinere under their charge as near as ixswribie to a stat* of perfection.

I told my men that 1 would try once more to stop them, and if they refused, to fol­ low them up the breaker.

Nut in year# has the strike spirit been so rampant as it is now. lu the New River, the Kanawha and the Fairmont district* the trouble is caused primarily by the refusal of the operators to agree to pay the Chicago rate, which is 19 cents per ton in excess of the rate that I* now paid in the West Virginia big vein districts. The first step toward en­ forcing the new rate was taken l»y the New River men, 1,<MK» of whom notified the Chesapeake and Ohio Coal Associa­ tion that they demanded an instant recog­ nition of the Chicago scale. The opera­ tors refused and the men informed their employers that if the rate was not grant­ ed by April 1 they would strike. The men in the Fairmont district then took ujf the 10-cvnt increase and there also the op­ erators refused the raise. The Fairmont men will bold n meeting and it i» likely that this district, so hard to imlucc to strike under ordinary circumstances, will soon be idle. The situation is increasing In gravity. NO HINDRANCE IN BUSINESS. Reported by Bradstreet's. Bradstreet’s commercial report says: •‘Continued activity in nearly all lines of distributive trade, but more particularly at the larger cities of the West, South and far Northwest, continues to be the moat favorable feature coming under notice. That tiie demand for dry goods, groceries, hardware, iron and steel ami its various forms and building material is relatively most active at the West seems evident from the slight tone of disappointment in report# from leading Eastern markets, where business is reported moving less rapidly than at the interior. Other favor­ able features include the heavier foreign demand for wheat and flour, as indicated by increased exports over last week and last year and bank clearings heavily ex­ ceeding corresponding periods of previous years. Larger wheat and flour, but small­ er corn shipments, are n feature of export trade this week. The total export of wheat, flour included, from the United States^ and Canada this week aggregated 4,484,701 bushels, against 3.252,003 bush­ els last week. Corn exports are smaller, amounting to only 2.285,056 bushels, against 3.054,000 bushels last week." TO SEARCH FOR ANDREE. King Oscar Conditionally Accept* the Offer Made by Wellman. The State Department at Washington has received from the government of Swe­ den and Norway King Oscar's conditional acceptance of the offer made through the United States government by Waiter Wellman to carry free of charge upon his Dorth |x>lar expedition steamer Laura, which is to rail from Tromso, Norway, June 20, a party of Swedes to search for their countryman, Professor Andrei*, in Franz Josefland. ’"The .government of the king does not expect to send out a search expedition,” rays the minister of foreign affairs at Stockholm, "but if no news of Andree is received by July grat­ itude would be felt if Mr. Wellman were tn permit several persons familiar with the arctic regions to accompany his expe­ dition for that purpose. The government of the king has learned with deep grati­ tude the courteous and generous offer made by Mr. Wellman.” The memory of the late Miss Frances E. Willard will be perpetuated in New York’s new State capitol by the carving of her portrait at the head of the gram/ stairway. Besides the portrait of Miss Willard, will lie tLTnio-of four other Amer­ ican women of celebrity. These will be those of “Captain” Nellie Iltcher of rev­ olutionary fame; Harriet Beecher Stowe, Clara Barton of the Red Cross Society and Susan B. Anthony, leader in the movement for equal suffrage for nearly sixty years. • All the prisoners in the county and fed­ eral jail nt Perry, O. T., escaped.* At midnight one prisoner made a pretense of being sick and induced Turnkey Wells to bring him some water. By some means the prisoners had got out of their cells and were in the jail corridor, and when the jailer appeared they-pualied him into a cell, gathered up firearms and escaped. At Brown's Valley, Minn., John Nelson and Herman Dahleen, farmers, became involved in a dispute which resulted in a ■boothig affray. Nelson seized a shotgun and killed Dahleen, and afterward shot hltnsi'lf with the same gun.

IN War Clouds Still Hovering Over Costa Rica and Nlcarngt*, While IL.nduEngsge—Uncle Sai , j l | I Advices received from correspondents at various points in jCentrai America state that war clouds are still hovering over those countries. The correspondent in La Llbertad, Salvador, says the situation be­ tween Coftta Rica and Nicaragua is seri­ ous ajici that it is reported Shat troops have already gone to the field. It is thought that Honduras will aid Nicaragua in a war against Costa Rica and It is re­ ported that Honduras has already sent 5,000 armed men tn Nicaragua to combine with the latter country's forcea. Salva­ dor, meanwhile, is exerting all efforts to avert war, but the Government is resolv­ ed not to take any part where Nicaragua is concerned. A well-known diplomat it.

The only interpreta­ tion is that should Honduras -.. help •■<— of — this — *•—* — r Nicaragua Salvador will support Costa Rica in the struggle. Guatemala's envoy has left Managua for Costa Rica, carrying important documents which will deride whether the Central American countries will plunge into war or not.

Eno, pro­ prietor of the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York, haa been filed for probate at HarL ford, Conu. It disposes of an estate val­ ued at $29,000,000. The public bequests include $50,(KM) to Amherst College, (7,­ 500 to the Simsbury, Conu., Congrega­ tional Church, and $5,000 each tu the American Home Missionary Society and the American Sunday School Union. Ten New York charities receive$5,000 apiece, and an eleventh $3,000. The sum of $130,000 is left to the corporation of the Chamber of Commerce of New York for aid and assistance to such members as may be reduced to poverty, and for aid to their families, provided that a like sum Is raised by the corporation. The rwit of the estate is to be divided among the chil­ dren and grandchildren. TRYING TO BUT SHIPS. Negotiations are proceeding for the pur­ chase of the Brazilian cruiser Amazonas and her sister ship, the Barabozo, by the United States. But so far as the Navy Liepartmeat is advised the negotiations have not yet been dosed. The negotia­ tions for the purchase of the two Japan­ ese cruisers now building in this country, at Philadelphia and San Francisco, are off, and the present Indications are that no further steps will be taken toward ac­ quiring these ships. The Japanese Gov­ ernment appears to be even more desirous of securing these ships than the United Staten, and owing to the delicate charac­ ter of the aspect of affairs between Rus­ sia and Japan it is felt that the needs of Japan are quite as urgent as those of this country.

In the House on Monday the Hawley bill providing for two additional regiments of artillery was passed under suspension of the rules by almost unanimous vote. Mr. Bailey, the Democratic leader, want­ ed more time for debate than the forty minutes allowed, and because he did not get it he Inaugurated a filibuster against District of Columbia legislation that con-, tinned all day. In the Senate the session was devoted to consideration of the Dis­ trict of Columbia appropriation bill. At the hour of adjournment the bill had not been disposed of. The District of Columbia appropriation bill, containing a provision for the reduc­ tion of about oue-balf of the present rates of telephone charges in the district, was passed by the Senate on Tuesday. A bill to authorize the relocation and re­ building of a pontoon bridge across tb» Mississippi River at Prairie du Chien, Wis., oss paused. The bill for the relief of the Methodist Episcopal Church South of Tennessee, appropriating $288,000, was Itassrd. in the House the bill appropriat­ ing $50*000,000 for defense passed unani­ mously. In the House on Wednesday the legis­ lative, executive and judicial appropria­ tion bill went through its last stages in the adoption of the financial conference report. The remainder of the day was consumed in consideration of the Senate amendments to the Indian appropriation bill. The substitute for the Senate pro­ vision regarding the opening of the Uncompahgre reservation was knocked out on a point of order, and the amendment goes back to conference. The desire of the conferees to non-concur in the Senate free homestead clause encountered bitter opposition, and an arrangement was made whereby four hours are to be devoted to debate a proposition to concur submitted by Mr. Eddy of Minnesota. Mr. Sher­ man, chairman of the Indian Committee, declared that the free homestead provis­ ion would cost the Government $56,600,­ 000. He desires to eliminate it from the bill, and has the support of the Secretary of the Interior. In the Senate the $50,­ 000,090 defense bill was passed by a unanimous vote. Hawaiian annexation was considered in executive session. In the House all day Thursday waa ■pent on the Indian appropriation bill. The Senate amendments were non-concurred in and the bill sent to conference. In the Senate no business of real impor­ tance was transacted in open session. The session lasted only an hour, the time be­ ing largely consumed In disposing of rou­ tine morning business. A few bills of minor Importance were passed. In the House on Friday the bill to pay the Bowman act claims, aggregating $1,­ 200,000, for stores and supplies furnished the Union army during the war was con­ sidered until 5 o'clock, but lieyoud com­ pleting the general debate little progress was made. Of the 800 odd claims in the bill ail but a few come from'the South, and dilatory tactics were resorted to to prevent progress. During the filibuster­ ing the I louse was In an uproar. At 5 o’clock, after completing two i>ages of the bill, the House recessed until 9 o'clock for an evening session to be devoted to pension legislation. After the evening session the House adjourned^ until Mon­ day. The Senate was not in'session. According to the latest figures, China owes her creditors $193,525,900. Gen. W. B.

The Administration and All Officials at the National Capital Realize that the Country Is Facing a Crisis—Con­ ditions Deemed Such that Hostilities Seem Inevitable — Spaniard* Have Bought to Cause a Clash and Mast Take the Bitter Consequences-No bltramcnt of Arma Appears Open. Washlngton correspondence: Is a general feeling at the THERE capital that we are face to face with a crisis. The bill to appropri­ ate $50,000,000 for the national defense is evidence that the administration has recognized this in its preparation* for an emergency. Joseph G. Cannon of Illinois, chairman of the House Committee on Ap­ propriation*. Monday introduced the bill appropriating $50,000,000 for national de­ fense. This bill Is as follows: "Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States in Congress assembled: That there is THE THE when there is an emergency. This appro­ priation 1* to be drawn against in just such an emergency.” The bill is not simply a private bill, it Is an administration bill and an emergency measure. The situation regarding Cuba has become so delicate that it is recogniz­ ed that war to inevitable unless Spain to made to understand that this Government to ready for war and will not stop at half­ way measures. The Presmcnt proposes to be ready for any emergency, and if Spain wants war she shall have it, but she will l>e driven from the western hemisphere. She has done enough bluffing. AJtbougb few persons will openly admit it. tlie feeling in the inner circles of the administration at the time this is written to that the country to on the verge of war. Conditions are such that an outbreak seems unlikely to be long postponed. There is good authority for the statement that Congrera will declare war against Spain soon* after the report of the board of inquiry into the Maine disaster has been made public. The change -of front on the part of the administration is regarded us significant. Mr. Mc&inley. who all along had seemed FOim-M tzt averse to the ominous move of dskiug Congrera to assist him in making preparations fo.- war, has thrown off hto indifference and did not hesitate to rvouest the emergency appropriation of $50,000,000. The change in the attitude of Speaker Reed was more noticea­ ble than in the case of tbe Presiacut. The Speaker had set* his face res^2»«-lv against every proposed piece of legisla­ tion which might be construed a* intend­ ed to prepare the country for war. Mr. Reed had declared that there should be no increase in tlie standing army and thnt the bills for 1.51M) additional seamen and the arming of tbe auxiliary croirar* should never rac tbe light of day. Mon­ day, however. Mr. Recd looked and acted very differently. Heretofore the President has Ix-lieved that he could bring the war in Cuba to an end by peaceful means. While not entire­ ly confident that he could secure the peace and independence for the island by such means, he hoped at least thnt he might secure autonomy for Cuba with*the prom­ ise of independence to be accorded the strained situation or a misunderstninding to actual war, they argue, and this dis­ tance inny never l>e bridged. In fact, there are plenty of acute observers of the situation who say Simin’s apparent policy of aggressiveness to n mere bluff, designed for home consnmptlon.'and that tbe best pouible treatment of it was to refuse the recall of Gen. Lee and to refuse to change tbe plan of sending relief supplies to Culm by war vessels. If it were Spain’s pur­ pose to test the firmnera of the United States, to ascertain whether or not this country was really willing to take it* place, gun in hand, ready to fight a duel, Spain ha* her anewer. Meanwhile, too, the most energetic prac­ tical preparations for war continue in this country. Ships are being fitted out as rapidly as possible, crews arc being en­ listed, ammunition to hurried forward, tbe coast defenses are manned, transport* for troops are being prepared, tbe State mi­ litia are ready to jump aboard the cars. Not only to the President to have placed in'hi* hands the funds with which to outfit all our own ship*, iaclnding the merchant vessel* subject to our call 'for transjtorta or auxiliary crutoers, but he will be able to dose contracts for the purchase of a num­ ber of foreign battleships and cruisers Moreover, it to propoaed.to let contracts at once for tbe construction of a large number of small torpedo boats, perhaps fifty or a hundred, to be built during the next .two months inland river* and lake*, where they will be free from any possible Spanish attack, ready to be taken to the seaboard at a moment’s notice. The meaning of all this to simply that the re­ sources and ingenuity of the American Iteople are brought into play in all their wonderful extent and celerity in prepara­ tion for the national defense. Coupled with tbe preparations which the Govern­ ment has been making for months past, the sum total to most formidable and well calculated to impress Spain or any other possible enemy with the vaatnete of tbe task which she must undertake if she start* war upon ns. Tbe United State* to ready for war. and nt this moment to able to make war with terrible cffectivenera.

Mr. Cannon introduced this bill in hi* individual capacity. but it was after a most important conference at the White House attended by Secretary Long. Sen­ ators Allison and Hale, and Representa­ tives Cannon. Dingier. Boutelle and Gros­ venor. Tbe conference continued for an hour and was regarded as most signifi­ cant, Id view of the developments of the day and the report* that the President had given an emphatic refusal to the re­ Cubans at some date in the future. Here­ tofore all preparations made by tbe Presi­ dent have been for defense, for he has recognized all along that war might result in spite of all hi* preenutiona. Since he has looked at the evideuce deduced before the boat’d of inquiry he has changed all hto plans. During tbe last mouth a lesson in cool­ ness and nelf-possession has been well lesrtaed. If Spain were only able to real­ ise it. the very cn Inin era of the American Government and the American |>eople lief supplies should be rant to Cuba in snerebaut rather than in war vessels. While Senators and Representative* were speculating as to the meaning of such a conference, the answer came from Cannon when be introduced his bill appropriating $50.<»i.(MM) for the national raid be had e excitement lu a way which Spain will never forget. But it is a long way yet to war. and we may raver get there. The attitude of the President is that it is not for ns to make war, but to be prepared for it if it is forc­ ed upon ii». There is nothing in the pres­ ent situation justifying M^iuin in declaring or provoking hostilities. Nothing ia at issue wlblch makes a case on which she dare go before the world as a disturber of the peace. The posit ion of this Govern­ ment is a simple ora, and should not be misunderstood. It I* that if war to forced upon us, either directly or by provocation, we will fight. Or in good time we will have a solution of the Cuban problem, which has beeptnc simply intolerable to this nation, eJhi if we have to fight to get it. But over such question* as Dupuy de Lome, Gen. Lee, tbe Maine disaster and the method of’forwarding relief •ap­ plies it to our purpose to be corn-ct In ac­ cordance with the practice of nations, dig­ nified and firm, neither cringing nor unncceaaarlly provoking.

It was about half-past ten when Lord Wriothesley drove up tn the door of the house in Park Lane. He sprang from the hansom aud knocked impatiently at the door. Mrs. Scarlett was half sitting, half re­ clining upon a crimson lounge, and be­ side her—very close to her—on a low chair, sat the-Duke of Dawtry. A sudden chill fell upon Wriothesley, although there was renily no reason for it. Why should not tbe duke make an even­ ing call upon Mrs. Scarlett? Why should she not receive him? It was simple— a very ordinary matter. Inn very short time the duke rose aud made his adieus, lingering n little over Mrs. Scarlett's hand ns he did so, and Wriothesley could not avoid hearing that a few words passed between them; then the door closed on tbe elder man, and the coast so far was clear. He knelt down beside her aud pressed her hand to bls lips. “My beloved,” he said, “tell me again thnt the Duke of Dawtry is nothing to you!” “I*ouf!—less than nothing! A summer wind could scatter my regard for him— so!"—making a dainty pretense of blow­ ing something away from the tips of her fingers. "Fossils, I would hove you know, however priceless, are not much in my line. I think”—with a reproachful glance at Wm—"you might htrve known that. They do not commend themselves to me; tlu-y fail to enchant my fancy." “Your fancy? That is a thing light as air. Oh, that I might enchant it!" “Why. so do you!” said she, dropping her voice to n soft undertone. “Do yon think I would let another kneel where you nre kneeling now? That is a -.man priv­ ilege, think you, to be allowed to—” She bent her head, and Wriotbeoley's lips met hers in n passionate embrace. ‘That little girl has not won you from me, then?*' she went on.

When the morning dawned that permit­ ted him to seek her, a great peace—a sense of rest perfectmt—fell upon him. Marvel and he breakfasted together; and he told her that be should lie obliged to leave her and go up to town for the day. "Why are you going?” she asked. "Business,” he answered, promptly. "I wish I rotild go with you. 1 sup­ pose”—with an air of .doleful doubt—“I couldn’t” “My dear girl, no.

The State bank of Nickerson. Kan., was blown open and robbed the other night. Three of the men, with masks on their faces, entered the building, n fourth was stationed at the corner of the street as guard. After digging into the vault dyna­ mite was placed in the wall and the wall was blown to pieces. The explosion under the outer wall did not make much noise, but when the burglars undertook to get open the door of the safe they met with a greater resistance and several charges were made to break the door. The noise of the explosion aroused some persons who lived near the bunk. They instituted a search as to the cause of the trouble and were met by the outside guard, who compelled them to go and sit down on the sidewalk. The fellows on the inside did a bad job of blowing up the safe door, as they blew most of the parier money to piece*. L. C. Brown.

Yazle of Lima, O., writes to Mayor McMurray of Dqpve.r, Colo., re­ questing him to locate Mrs. WiHiam Thompson. Yazle says he has located the farmer in whose orchard the $39,000 was buried by Oscar Asherman after he mur­ dered William Thompson in California in 1889. He says the confession of Aahertnan as told by his father after returning from hi* sou's deathbed in Arizona, agrees in detail with the story ti»ld to Yazle by the maxi who helped Aahcnnnii bury Thompson's gold in an orchard. Yazle aeeks Mrs. Thompson in the hope of re­ ceiving a reward for locating the money. The police in Denver have been search­ ing for her since Ashermau's confession wo* first published.

Thousand People Saw the Deed. At Washington, D. C., Dennis J. Canty, a broker, formerly of East St. Louis, IlL, shot.snd killed George Rye. a well-known sportsman and man about town. The shooting took place at the corner of Four­ teenth and F streets, in front of the West­ ern Union building, in the presence of per­ haps a thousand men, women and chil­ dren. Canty drew a revolver and delib­ erately fired Into Rye four times. The latter reeled and fell to the street. He was carried to a drug store nnd died five minutes later. Canty coolly replaced his revolver‘in his pocket and waited for an officer to come and take him. The day be­ fore the two men had had a quarrel at the same spot and it is said Rye threat­ ened Canty with a drawn dirk. Dennis J. Canty has borne a good reputation hereto­ fore. He was appointed to a clerkship in the interstate commerce commission un­ der Col. W. R. Morrison. He went into brokerage business with H. W. Van Senden. who was formerly private secretary to Secretary Carlisle. The firm failed and the members were Indicted. A week or so ago the indictments were nolled. It is learned now that the shooting is the cul­ mination of the failure of Canty's firm. Rye, who is said to have been a horseman and speculator, lost by the failure and threatened revenge. .

The St. Petersburg Official Messenger publishes a note saying the Ruuian Gov­ ernment has instructed its representative nt Seoul, the capital of Corea, to inform the Emperor of Corea and his ministers that if, in their opinion, Corea no longer requires foreign help nnd is capable of preserving, with her own. resources, the independence of her internal aiminiutrttion, Russia will not hesitate to recall the Russian financial advisor. The Ruuian military officers, after ieavinilithe Corean army, will remain temporarily at the dis­ posal of the Russian mission, in view of the still unsettled state of the country. The note proceeds: "No longer bound by the responsibility which the presence of the Russian instructor* and financial ad­ visor of that country imposed upon Rus*ia, the latter can now abstain from ac­ tively participating lu the affairs of Corea, hoping the young state, strengthened by the support of Russia, will be able to maintain without assistance order at home and preserve her full iude;>endcDce.

Western, 10c to 12c, During Its session of three hours on Monday the Senate passed a considerable number of bills from tbe general calen­ dar. among the number being one author- / izing the construction of eight new rev­ enue cutters not exceeding in aggregate cost tbe sum of $2,025,000. A resolution offered last Thursday by Mr. Chandler (N. H.) authorizing the committee on na­ val affairs to send for persons and papers in the course of tbe investigation of the Maine disaster, was .adopted. Mr. Lodge (Ma/s.) of the foreign relations commitict? called up the joint resolution for the relief of August Boltcn and Gustave Richelieu. The reroiutiou as reported from the foreign relations committee is as fol­ lows: ‘That the President of the United States be, and he is hereby empowered to take such measures as in his judgment may be necessary to obtain the indemnity from the Spanish government for the wrongs and injuries suffered- by August Boltcn and Gustave Richelieu by reason of their wrongful arrest and imprisonmentby Spanish authorities at Santiago de Cuba in tbe year 1895; and to secure this end he is authorized and requested to employ such means or exercise such power as may be necessary." In the House on Tuesday It was agreed to consider the bill for tbe relief of the legal heirs off the victims and survivors of the Maine disaster ns soon as the post­ office appropriation bill is out of the way. During the general debate on the post­ office hill members eagerly took advantage of the latitude allowed in. committee of the whole on tbe state of the Union to discuss various political questions. Messrs. Griggs (Dem., Ga.) and Walker (Bep., Mass.) discussed the ennditiona of the cot­ ton industry, and Mr. Tawney (Rep., Minn.), a member of the Ways and Means Committee, replied to the speech of Mr. Johnson (Rep., Ind.) made some time ago against the advisability of annexing the Hawaiian islands. Mr. Tawuey strongly advocated the annexation of tbe islands. On Wednesday the postoffice appropria­ tion bill, which was technically the sub­ ject before the House, was almost lost track of in the debate. The Cuban-Span­ ish question, which had been kept In tbe background heretofore, forged to the front. Mr. Cochran (Dem.. Mo.) brought the question into tbe arena, and in the course of the debate that followed Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio took occasion to deny emphatically the stories nfloat to the ef­ fect that the President deaired an early adjournment of Congress in order that he might effect a settlement without con­ gressional interference. The subject of Hawaiian annexation also came in for attention. Mr. Williams (Dem., Miss.). Mr. Adams (Rep.. Pa.) and Mr. Berry (Dcnh. Ky.). all members of the Foreign Affairs Committee, made speeches on the subject, the former in opposition and the two latter in favor of the proposition. Business in the legislative session of the Senate was confined to the-passage of a few bills, largely of a local character. The national quarantine bill was not con­ sidered. On Thursday the session of the House was devoted strictly to the postufflee ap­ propriation bill, which was taken up for amendment under the five-minute rule. Tbe questions which consumed Hie major portion of the time related tn the allow­ ance for clerk hire at postoffires and to rural free delivery. The House increas­ ed the allowance for rural free delivery from $150,000 to $300,000 and defeated the proposition for increased clerk hire. Among the bills passed ln*the Senate was one to authorize the construction of a gunboat on tbe great lakes to take the place of tbe United States ship Michigan, and to cost.- exclusive of armament, not to exceed $230,000. Adjourned till Mon­ day. On Friday the House speut another day on the postofflev appropriation bill, but disposed of only two pages of tbe bill. Most of the day was devoted to n debate on the merits of the pneumatic tube mail service in New York. Boston and Phila­ delphia, and the advisability of continu­ ing the existing contract An effort to strike out the appropriation of $225,000 was defeated, but the opponent! of the appropriation succeeded in securing the adoption of no amendment providing that no additional contracts should be made. An amendment was adopted making it a misdemeanor for any person to "pad” the mail* during the period when the mails are being weighed to determine the com­ pensation to be paid to the railroads for their transportation. The Senate was not in session. The House on Saturday passed the poNtoffice appropriation bill, which had l>eeu uuder comdderation since Wednes­ day. The main points of attack In the de­ bate were the appropriation of $30,000,(MX) for railway transportation of uinila and $171,000 for special facilities be­ tween New York and New Orleans and $25,000 for special facilities from Kansan City to Newton, Kas<. These items an­ nually attract more or lees of a contest. This year the opposition seemed to be less in tense. All effort to reduce the appro­ priation for railroad transportation sig­ nally • failed, and the vote on Southern mail subsidy was 77 tn 98 against strik­ ing out. By neat parliamentary maneu­ vering the opponents of the subsidy wereprevented* from getting a direct vote on a. motion to recommit with instructions. Notes of Current Events.

Perhaps he had offended fcer by olieying be* too closely and keeping away until the day named. He hoped so with a passion of which he himself was laardly aware. He had heard nothing snore that she had said—only those first words. *O, no; in the circumstances I could not have expected or desired that you should call!

That is very good of you. It is more than one should hope for that yon should feel regret.

You who have l*t me kiss you and have .kissed me back again, you who have fooled me to the top of my bent, only to feel regret for the victim when the mo­ ment comes to cast him aside!” “I nm not fond of amateur perform­ ances,” she rejoined,, looking at him with drooping eyelids and curling lip; “and to remind me of—of anything that may have occurred between us is hardly what I should have accused you of. May I be permitted to say that it is scarcely in good taste? However, I nm grateful to you for this revelation—this glimpse into your inner self—as it has helped me to stifle that regret to which you so vehe­ mently object.” "Who is it?*' he. demanded* abruptly. Her insolent scorn had not touched him; he thought only of an answer to this ques­ tion that should tell him all. She regarded him steadily for a mo­ ment. “I think there bad better be an end of this,” she said. “So there shall be when I know who has taken my place." "Your place? What place? What is it you mean?” “1 mem to know before I leave this house the name of the man you intend to marry,” retorted he, doggedly. His tone angered her even more than his persistence. “Know it then," she cried, glaring at him defiantly—"it is the Duke of Dawtry!” Wriothealcy started, a death-like pallor overspread his face, and such a strange light came into his eyca that for the mo­ ment she was frightened; then it all pass­ ed away, and suddenly he was upon his knees before her, clasping her gown. “My darling, not that,” be cried, wildly —“not that old man! Oh. tbe shame, the horror of it! Leonic, listen to me—be patient. Hear me before it is too late. Is love—such love as I can offer—my whole heart and life—as nothing to you when compared with----- " "Yon think a good deal of that love of you re,” she said, mockingly—"certainly more than I do!” Her words sobered him. He rose to his feet, still looking very pale, but quite com­ “Are you going?" she asked. “It is a pity our friendship should end like this, but it in your own fault. As I told you” —shrugging her shoulders—'‘you are not reasonable. You believed—I don't know” —petulantly—"what you believed.” "I believed myself your lover," replied, he, steadily—"I believed that I was re­ garded ns such by you." "If you did, you have only yourself to blame.” Again her eyes gleamed sngrlly at him. How dared he stand there and coldly condemn her? “And there is still one thing left for tpe to do.” She swept out of/tbe room Into the bou­ doir beyond, nnd, presently returning, flung upon a table before him a mass of glittering gems—rings, bracelets, neck­ lets and such like baubles. “Will you take them with you, or shall I send them ?" she asked. It was all so horrible, so unexpected, that for a few moments Wriothesley stood there motionless, as if stunned, and un­ able to realize what had happened. Then almost mechanically he took up his hat, bowed to her, and left tbe room. aud charge her with her cruelty to you, and then we shall are!” “Thank you, my little champion." said Wriothesley. with a faint Ktufle. “if you l<»ok like that when you lead the attack, ail must go down Im-fore you.” Thon he sighed wearily, and turned away front her. aud went moodily down the garden path with his arms Ixhind him, as though she had never been. The next day Wriothesley read in a so­ ciety paper the announcement that a mar­ riage had been arranged to take place between the Duke of Dawtry and Mrs. Scarlett. When he thus read the confirm­ ation of his defeat his first impulse was to leave England again and go abroad. But when he told Marvel of thfa the young girl burst iutn bitter tears and charged him with being untrue to his promise to Aunt Mary. “My dear child," he said, “people often make rash promises that art1 not kept. When I said that I would be a guardian to you, I quite believed my home would be for the future in England. But Fate —chance—circumstances—what you will, hox ordaiued it otherwise. I would keep my promise, if I could; but—how can I?" "Yon can!” she cried, springing to ber fret. "Don't you see how you can? Take me with you!” "Look here, Marvel,” said he, with some asperity—“you are very young, I know, but that hi no reason why you should be a —er—so utterly absurd. It ia time you should learn that a girl of your age could not roam about the world with a young man unless he wore to marry her." “Well, why don’t you marry mo then?” she said, resentful tears filling her eyes. Sir Fulke stared at her for some mo­ ments in undisguised amaxement, hardly knowing what to soy or think; and then suddenly the meaning of her words struck him. If he were to marry her! The events oFthe past few weeks recurred to him, nnd swiftly in imagination he pass­ ed again through the scene* that he would have been only too glad to forget. First he saw the pale, la-avtifui face of Lady Mary calmly and serently awaiting the approach of death. Again he heard ber entreating him in gentle accents to be­ friend the lonely child she had loved and reared, while her face was upturned to him with a look of ineffable love in her pleading eyes. And then there came l*fore him that other face, with au expres­ sion of fiendish mockery, and the beauti­ ful eyes, as the lips he had once kissed proclaimed to him that solution of the problem which so perplexed him. Marry her—such was the advice given .to him. Well, how if he obeyed her in this, as he had in all thing* during their brief ac­ quaintance? His heart beat with a fierce joy as he thought ot how site would look when first she heard of it. To be ao soon forgotten—that would fetich her. the more so ns she had always been jealous of the child. It would be a sweet revenge. He looked suddenly at Marvql, and the sight of her hastened his decision; she was sitting on a low scat, her head droop­ ing, her fingers interlaced, with an expres­ sion of deepest melancholy upon her child­ ish face. He went over to her, aud, lean­ ing upon the back of a chair, said, delib­ erately: .“You think if I were to—that is. if you were to marry me it would arrange «unttera, aud make you happier? So be it, then." She drew her breath quickly, but said nothing. “Will you?*' he said. “Would it”—raising her Urge anxious eyes to his—“would it mean that you would take me with you when you go abroad forever?’ “Certainly. That is what it would mean”—uo more, he thought. “Then I will,” she said, solemnly. She looked at him earnestly, and as she looked the grave expression on her face died away, aud a smile began to part her trembling lips. A moment later the last remnant of her grief and fear had vanish­ ed as a snow flake melts before the et • brace of the-sun. “Is it true? Is it real?" she cried, "Shall I indeetl go. with you?’ “Do you think you can be ready in a hurry?' asked he, filled now with his dwn desire to quit Euglaud nnd the woman who had deceived him. “At once. I mean —in n real hurry? Could you"—with some hesitation, feeling uncertain as to how ihe would take it—"could you marry me, »ay, to-morrow?” “This minute, if yon like,” she said, heartily. "What ia there to prevent it?’ The next few days passed in a hurried whirl of preparation for the hasty mar­ riage. Thea came the wedding meriting. Marvel rose early and went for a soli­ tary stroll throngh the gardens and those parts of the grounds that had grown spe­ cially dear through fond associations. The dear ringing of a bell within the bouse warned her that time waa flying, so, with many a farewell glance and sigh, and not without a few tears, ahe returned to her room. They were standing in the library, al­ most ready to start, when Wriothesley noticed the locket that Marvel wore round her neck. It was the same old battered ornament she had on ber on the night she had been rescued by him from the storm. “How many years it is since I saw that,’ he said, touching it; “and what a mite you were then! You remember?" “I remember that you saved me. Auntie CHATTER IX. All day long Wriothesley walked the streets, almost unconsciously, and in the afternoon fouud himself in tbe very heart of the city, when suddenly a craving for the sweeL.rool country came upon him. He stepped Urto a hansom, then into a train*, and as tbe light began to fade he reached the Towers. As he went through one of tbe openings in the yew wall, he caught a glamps*- of a slender and shadowy*1 figure standing upon tbe balcony outside the library win­ dows. The tali, childish form ia its som­ ber dinner gown of black crepe he recog­ nised as Marvel; and then he suddenly re­ membered that he had altogether forgot­ ten her. There was something disconso­ late In her attitude as she leaned against a marble pillar and looked out over the sea; but all traces of sorrow left ber as she chanced to turn her head and her eyes fell upon Wriothesley. A low cry broke from her lips—a cry of triumph and happy joy. In less than a minute she had run down the Steph, had rushed across the path, nnd placed one might help me to find -to trace some one hand ou each of his arm*. belonging to me.

The death list may reach fif­ teen and the number of mangled and wounded is twice that. Within half an hour after the sheet of fire shot out from the top floor of the six-story building, the entire structure was wrapped in .flumes, and the crash of the huge walls os they tumbled down was beard for blocks around. . The Conover Piano Company occupied three floors of the building, including the ground floor. The remaining tenants of the building were the National Music Company, the Presbyterian Board of Pub­ lication nnd Sweet, Wallach & Co., pho­ tographic supplies.

The floor waa stored with chemicals and the dry, tlnder-Uke materials employed in manufacturing pho­ tographic supplies. .It was jamong this inflammable stuff that tbe fire started. The flames quickly spread to the floor be­ neath, where the National Muaic Com­ pany had tons of song "beets packed away upon counters and "helves.

The armor piercers nre of the highest grade of pro­ jectiles and nre intended U> perforate the heaviest armor that can be placed on a battleship. With adequate velocity given by the powder charge in the gun a pro­ jectile of this class is designed to pene­ trate a face-hardened nickel steel plate which is equal in thickness to the diame­ ter of tbe shot. Tbe tremendous strain brought upon the projectile at the mo­ ment of im|iact with the plate calls for steel of the very highest strength and toughness. To begin with, these missiles are made of pig iron. Thia is selected with special reference to its strength and purity. It is melted and converted by the process known as puddling into very pure and strong muckbar. which consists of almost chemically pure metallic iron. Every known precaution is observed to eliminate innate impurities from the metal in the puddling process. When the contents of tbe crucibles that contain the molten metal is thoroughly melted it is poured or “teemed” into a ladle, from which the steel is tapped into iron molds and form ingots of the proper shape and size for tbe further work. For a projectile of tbe largest size, which measures when finish­ ed 13 inches in diameter and 48 inches in length, the ingot weighs one ton.

Every step in the process is under the direct supervision of a skilled Government officer, aud when the projectiles are turned out one from each lot is selected for test firing. Upon the quality of this the acceptance of the whole pile depends. Thun, while all possi­ ble speed is being made in getting out' these messengers of destruction and death, there is also the strictest regard paid to accuracy and efficiency. The work of making guns at Newark is just as intricate and important as that of manufacturing projectiles at Reading. Tons of mettl are melted in the great fur­ naces and this when at the proper degree of heat and purity is let off into the great casting pot. The gun comes ont in the rough, and the worthless portions are Lroken off and the manner in which these stand the tests is tbe standard upon which the quality of the metal in the entire gun is judged. At first the gun is cast in a solid piece. Then it Is bored with machinery adjusted with the accuracy of the movement of a watch.

Maine Court of Inquiry Will Present Some Muterial Evidence. . A Key West correspondent asserts that tbe court of inquiry will present with its findings the material evidence of the ex­ istence of not one mine, but of seven, in the harbor of Havana. A shattered sec­ tion of a submarine cable, containing seven conductors, is in the poaseasion of the court, delivered to it by one of the American divers, and it is tbe strongest proof yet offered that the Maine's destruc­ tion waa encompassed by an agency with­ in the control of the Spanish authorities. It is about fourteva inches long, seven­ eighths of an inch in diameter, and eonlained seven copper wires insulated with a gtitta percha covering. The outside was of lead, one thirty-second of an inch thick. Tbe discovery was made about thirty feet from tbe submerged bow, and witbin the radius of fifty feet in which the divers have been working. To those of the court familiar with electrical appliances tbe character of this section of lead-covered cable was at once apparent. It was such as would be used only in deep seas, or for some work ia shallow waters when abso­ lute protection against breakage or in­ duction would be assured.

At least four-fifths are Ameri­ cans. though many come from England and also from various British colonies.

Most of these are from-the Sound, and. contrary to the general rule In the waters of the Pacific, tbe majority are American ships, manned and owned by Americans and dis­ playing the stars and stripes. A list just published shows that forty-two steamers aud twenty-four sailing craft are now engaged In this trade between Puget Sound and Dyea. Skaguay, Wrangell, nnd other Alaskan ports. About one-tblrd of tbe American steamers touch nt Victoria on their way north. In addition to this fleet, twelve British steamers aud several schooners sail from this port aa often as they can make the trip, which Is every two weeks. 'Sometimes several Alaskan steamers leave thia pert in one day.

The unsettled condition -of our relations with Spain is credited with exercising some effect upon Immediate demands and upon future un­ dertakings in the eastern portion of the country. But the two induxtrfeo, cotton and woolen, most complaining, are those in which conditions other than foreign complications have for some time part been working toward depression.

The steamer Greenland, returning from the seal fisheries, put into Bay de Verde, N. F., nnd reported a terrible diwwter. While her crew was traveling nlxrnt the Hoes in search of seals a storm arose, ac­ companied by a Winding xnow. which drifted rapidly, and a severe frost. The memticrs of the crew who were on the Ice could not regain the vessel, and were ex­ posed to the terrible weather throughout the night and all the next day. Forty­ eight men perished or are missing and six­ ty were so badly frostbitten that the am­ putation of one or more of their limbs will have to be Buffered by all of them. The Greenland succeeded in recovering the ’ bodies of twenty-five of the victims. Sixty Japanrxe labojers arrived at San Francisco from Victoria, B. C. They all had certificates from the coainiwaiiner of immigration at that port entitling them to land in thin country, but investigation showed that these immigrants are of the same ciaas as those recently deported from San Francisco.

The public for­ ests of Saxony, mostly on poor mountain land, yielded a net annual revenue of >4.50 an acre. There were a few million acres of similar aoll in scattered acres in Minnesota lying waste and from which, unless forested, no income nor ev*n taxes would ever be derived. The public had been in tsinter quarters on the subject too long. ...... Cling to Old Custom*. Secretary Bliss at Washington has made public an interesting letter from Gov. John B. Brady of Alaska, containing obrervations made by him while on his annual trip of inspection to the various points on the coast aboard the United States ship Wheeling. Special attention, the Governor says, should be paid to ves­ sels navigating the Yukon, the traffic on which is so large that the tendency is to take great risks. The Wheeling, after leaving Dyea, called at the village at the north of Chicago Island, called Hoonah. Here one of the leading men of the village had been accidentally killed by a child 6 years of age. The people never take ac­ count of accidents, and the Hoonah natives held the child's mother and her people re­ sponsible aud demanded reparation, which was given, a body of 200 men thor­ oughly armed going to a native village near Killlsnoe, at which place the child’s mother and her people belonged, and com­ pelling them to turn over many blankets, trunk* and money. The Governor severe­ ly admonished the natives and told them their old customs would not be tolerated. From-this point the Wheeling proceeded to Yakutat The Governor has consid­ erable to say about the practice of witch­ ery, which seems to exist to a considerable extent in that part of the country. He tells of n man and two women who were bound and tied for bewitching a man. Ou the ninth day the bound man was releas­ ed, and as he had nothing to eat, and but a few drinks of water, he wax in a terri­ ble physical condition. The Governor spent some time talking to these people, aud after explaining the laws of the Unit­ ed States told them that in the future he would not deal leniently with those who had practiced witchcraft. The Wheeling returned to Sitka. Her cruise, in the Governor’* opinion, hnd done great good to the natives, ax they dread a gunboat more than anything else. He say* he Is convinced It is time to take the natives* vigorously in hand and break up their witchcraft, distilling* of rum and manu­ facturing of'beer, and compel them to con­ form to our laws in all respects. Hidden Treasure Found. Considerable excitement has been^occasioned by the finding of >16,000 in gold and silver coin by men who were repair­ ing an old house in the west end of Santa Fe, N. M., belonging to a family named Rodrigues. The money is supposed to have been buried some years ago by Rod­ rigues’s mother, end ns there are several heirs claiming K there promises to be de­ veloped considerable bad blood before matters reach a conclusion. Cattlemen Elect Officers. The Kansas State Cattlemen’s Associa­ tion closed its annual convention at Abi­ lene.

Nevada and Arizona are joined together. They are west «f the Colorado river, but in California. Thi\ section l« a desert, with little vegetation, scarcity of animal life, and with a greater scarcity of water. The elevation above the ocean readies about 12.000 fret In the higher peaks, tmt the elevation of the tur­ quoise beds prol«b!y averages 3JJOO feet. .The climate is must rigorous in winter. The beds are scattered over an area of from 30 to 4‘) miles in extent, hot the prin­ cipal ones, both ns regards qualify and quantity, are found In a territory not more thau fifteen uillex long by three or four miles wide. It is a volcanic region. Among the lava .flows nnd basalt are found uuuv croua low hfils, and on the rides of tiieso are more or less distinct pi<*» from fifteen to thirty feet in diameter. These pits are the remains of the prehistoric turquoise beds. All around the pits the soil con­ sists exclusively of decomposed coarse sand nnd gravel, among which one may pick up in a few minutes a handful of small turquoise stoncx of various shapes, size* and colors. Wherever one of the old mines is found it is accompanied by pic­ ture writings on mimiundiug rocks. BEATEN BY BURGLARS. Fatally Injured. Mrs. Sophia J.

The pnx'lamation explains Itself. You are called upon to consider tbe question of tax­ ing railroad companies, express rompanle*. telephone companies and telegraph com pa­ nic*. and for no other purpose. I deem the oecasiou an extraordinary one. The Inequality of onr system of taxation la ao great that It should not be permitted to <x>atlnue for another year. 1 have therefore called you together In extraordinary session to consider it and to provide proper rctuedles.

The intervening period ba* been one of wonderful development In this -Htate. At every rewdon of tbe Legislature tbe j>eople have been called upon to make extraordin­ ary appropriation* for building up Htate Inatltutiona. The period Include* the year* of war between 1861 and 1865. during which the burden* upon the taxpayer* were great­ ly increased and enormous sacrifice* had to be made. During this period the percentage of tax­ es of tue ordinary taxpayer increased with great rapidity. In 1335, when the first Re­ publican Legislature convened, tbe rate of taxation for Htate pqrpoae* waa leaa than om-thlrd of a mill on tbe dollar nnd about 6 cents per capita. In 1863, at the end of the war, the taxes for Htate purpose were les* than four milt* on the dollar and only 37 cents per capita. Iu 18B3 our taxes for State purpore* had increased to fiL.'M per capita. (And. Gen­ eral’* rep. for 1806. page* 300 and SIO.!

Tbe other taxpayer* of the State were call­ ed upon to meet a similar Increare In taxes for local purpore*, from which the railroad companies iu the State bare been entirely free.

Under the special charter* of IMO the road* were required to pay. after 1851. an annual tax of three-quar­ ters of 1 per cent, upon their capital s1o« k paid In and upon all Inane made by the cutupany fur the purpnue of construction. Epon this basis the taxes upon railroad* in 18U5 would have been fiZ257J!23.61 instead of fi74l.4OH.77. In 1833 tbe general railroad law was passed hy tbe first R<q>ublican Legislature of the Htate of Michigan.

You haven’t a Military good excuse for your CHAPTER X. It was a charming morning, bright with •USfthine. as the captain of the “Merry Maid” sighted Gibraltar; the world was three weeks older then than on that event­ ful day Marvel for tbe first time possessed • name. It had been three weeks of unal­ loyed enjoyment to her, not a shadow having darkened the days that sped all too swiftly. She was with Fulkc. nnd she ■was happy. Not that aho raw much of him; but she was quite content with the knowledge that he was somewhere near; and'she had early learned that she was not to be a ’trouble to him”—which meant that she was not to break in upon his moods when be appeared silent and dis­ trait. And he was often so. At Gibraltar they expected to receive any letters or papers that might have been forwarded to them; and Wriothcsley, for two days before they reached it, could hardly restrain the cruel impatience with which he looked forward to the news that the society journals especially might con­ tain. He could see the paragraphs dpKribing how Leouie looked ns a bride— each dainty detoil of her wedding gown, the list of guest*, the false flattering men­ tion of th'e ancient groom. It was all terrible to him, and the con­ stant strain, the perpetual dwelling on the one subject, injured him both in mind and body; he grew pale and thin, filled as he was with an undying .love for one woman and on undying remorse for another, un­ til at last the pretty, laughing presence of Marvel grew insupportable to him. Instinctively she felt this, but so vague­ ly that it hardly rendered her uneasy; but a desire to do something that should please him, that should win her n smile, incited her to be the first to receive the post when it arrived, aud to carry it to him herself. He might bare thanked her, she thought, for being the one to bring him that post for which he had so wearfed; but he bad thought of nothing but that stupid palter. She hoped she would never see a number of it again; she would always recollect .the color of its cover. v Meantiaje Wriothe^ey with a rapid hand turned tbe pagcs.vHere, there, he looked for the dreaded announcement, but as yet saw nothing. The small aodety paragraphs did not mention any fashiona­ ble wedding in which her mime stood prominently. He bad drawn a long breath of curious relief, and had just turned a fresh page half careleraly, when a heading in large letters caught his eye: “Sudden Death of the Duke of Dawtry.” He read it three or four times: and, having mastered it—rather a trouble to him, because of the shock to his brain— he went on quietly reading the rest of ths- article. Only a few -words of it clung to him. “On the ere of his marriage." On the eve! She had not married him then! Aud now she was free—free! He half started from his scat, forgetting all things but that, nnd that he must go to her. Then memory returned in its full power—Marvel’s face stood out before him, and with a groan he sank back again; then, leaning his arms upon the table, his head fell forward on them. It was thus that Marvel found him an hour later. She had repented of her short­ lived anger. an4 in a sweet, ]>enitrat mood bad come back to him. She raw at a glance that it was the paper she had given him that was lying open on the table be­ fore her. Something in his attitude fright­ ened her and she came quickly (to his side. "Fulke, what is it?" she asked, nerv­ ously. laying her hand upon his shoulder. He started, and looked up. withdraw­ ing sharply from -her touch as he did so; and she saw that his face was ghastly. "Nothing.” he said. "I beg you will not worry me now. It is nothing.” “Do not spenk to me like that.” she entreated, trembling. "Tell me your trou­ ble—let me try to comfort yon!” He pushed hock bis chair qnd rose to bin feet. There was a terrible expression in his eyes as they rested on her. “You,” he raid—‘*you to comfort me— you who have been my undoing! Go. I tell you—leave me: I must lie alone!” “You mean—” she began. Rhe was shivering from bead to foot; his manner was so strange, so wild, that she was quite ainnerved. "Fulke, speak to me!" “What have I to ray—what have you to hear—except that I would I had never (teen you!” There was the latter sav­ agery of truth in his tone; h<* had lost all cuutrol over himself; but. when he had dealt the blow, be felt sobereil. "There— forgive me! I hardly know what I ray— I told you to go,” he raid; and then wait­ ed. knowing yet hardly caring for her She would make no mistake: she would try fully- to understand everything; that afterward she might be assured that she had done no wrong in act or thought by leaving bim. The paper was considerably crumpled on otte page, as though a* hand bad in­ voluntarily clutched it; nnd this she felt was where the mystery lay. She scanned the page hurriedly, and the large start­ ling print of the first heading especially attracted her notice. “Sudden Death of the Duke of Dawtry.” She read and re­ read it in silent wonderment, and then tbe paragraph beneath; birt Mrs. Scar­ lett’s name was. not mentioned there, and she scarcely knew what to think when she had come to the end of it. She knew this, however—that tbe reading of that article hnd •canned him to look at her with eye* full of hatred; and in a sorrow­ ful, silent way she began to ponder the best way of removing heroelf forever from his right. All through tbe week she sought for some excuse to offer him. but none came; and' nt last she determined upon telling him that she wished to return home. This1 was partly the truth, though to return to the old home—to her beloved Towers— was more, al”» thought, than she could en­ dure; and, if the marriage could be set aside, as she hoped and believed with a passionate misery that it could be, he would be the last to wish her there. At length, one day toward evening, she summoned all her courage to her aid, and went to where he was, and. standing at some little distance from him with her folded hands tightly clasped, said, trem­ ulously: “Fulke, may I go home?’ “What!” he said, as one thoroughly amazed. His face changed, and he re­ garded her with a searching scrutiny. “What is it you want?’ . “To go home,” she repeated, with a slight increase of nervousness this time. He said nothing for si minute or two. spent principally in thinking out her words: and then, with a half smile: “Tired of it so soon?" “Yes, I am tired,” she raid. In n low voice. Her bead was bent, and she was twirling her wedding ring round nnd round her finger in a little, sad, aimless “Well, what is it?” asked hr. not un­ kindly, though some sense of disappoint­ ment wus irritating him. “There is some­ thing else you want to say." “I wish I had not married you,” she said. The words came so quietly and with such calm distinctness that at first he could hardly believe his ears. Then hia brow contracted. “That is a terrible thing to say. Are you quite sure you mean it?” . “Quite—quite sure.” She drew closer to him. “Why should it be terrible?’ she asked. “The—our marriage can be un­ done, can’t it?” It was impossible not to see with what overpowering anxiety she hung .upon his answer. It seemed to lx- a matter of life or death to her—this question ns to wheth­ er she would or would not have to live the rest of her life as his wife. It wus scarcely a flattering thought, and he re­ sented it sorely. And could she indeed l»e so foolish, so ignorant, as to have a doubt on the subject? He looked at the pale, childish face upraised to his and saw that it was indeed so; but, as he looked, he misjudged the fear iu the large eyes, aud failed to understand the misery that sad­ dened the young life. “I am afraid 1 must tell you something you will not like to hear," he said, very gently. “Our marriage cannot be undone. My wife yon must remain until kindly death releases you from me or me from you." "How can there he such a wicked law? It is unjust—horrible!” She clasped her slender bands upon her bosom. “How am I to live,” she cried, “with this weight forever on my heart?” “You are unjust," said Wriotbesley. coldly. “I did not comi>ci you to this marriage.” * .“Nop-fhat is it." she said, quickly, rais­ ins her lovely, haggard eyes to his. “It treated you, I begged you—oh, bow could I have done it?—not to leave me behind alone: ami now—now"—with such a depth of misery In tin- young voice ns struck coldly to his heart—“I uni doubly alone T’ Remorse gn-w stronger within him. A sudden awakening to the fact that he had xncrifired her to his own revenge trou­ bled him, and. though justice hnd follow­ ed hard upon the heels at that deed, and hia revenge had recoiled upon himself, yet he could not fail to ace that he bad done her an injury that was irreparable. How could he have thought that a child so reared and encomparaed with love as she had been would rest satisfied with the barren existence he bad given her? “1 cannot hear yon speak like that,” he She paused for a moment, as if turned to stone, and then went softly out of the saloon. v She felt stunned, terrified: she crept slowly op tbe stair* to the deck, .where •the salt breeze blew upon her face, and in a strange, vague way cEroateifin her a -desire for tears:. tait^L^reprew-f-d jbern, ■and, seeing a wicker ehair <m her right hand, went to it and sink down wearily you so great a wrong that I know not bow to ask your forgiveness.

However, 1 did abstain; nnd, if only as a reward for so unexpected a mildness, you might promise me to be present on the tenth." “Dearest Cicely, if you would only not ask me!” $aid Marvel, in a soft, distress­ ed tone. She came out from Itebind the lace cur­ tains of the window, where she hail been sitting, to glance imploringly nt Mrs. Vcruiam; sad, as she now stood, with the glory of the autumn sunshine shintag up­ on her, it was marvelous to mark the change that a' bare year had wrought in her. Then she was a child; now she was a woman—a girlish creature still, but with a .face so earnest, so intelligent, so beautiful In the strictest sense of that word, that it was an exquisite pleasure even to look upo^ her. She had gofle straight to Ringwood, ac­ cording to her husband's dcrire, where Mrs. Yerulam had received her, having indeed thrown over several engagements to do so. She was charmed v^lth the pretty, desolate little bride—the “poor lit­ tle returned good*.” aw she called her— and, as she learned to like ber be’ter and better. Indignant with Wriotbesley be­ cause of his treatment of her. She had made a pretty accurate guess of how mut­ ters stood from the beginning; and a lit­ tle judicious questioning hnd extracted enough from Marvel to make her half knowledge a whole. She wrote Wriothesley a long letter that was a perfect mas­ terpiece of elegant vituperation, and took to petting Murrel as though she were an invalid in a very advanced stage. She was now seriously ambitions to carry n poftt to which she had almost pledged herself. When in town, she hud spoken so much of Lady Wriothesley’s personal charms nnd so mysteriously of her HCjiaration from ber husband that everyouc was eagerly desirous of being made more intimately acquainted with her. Mrs. Yerulam had asked down a good many for the twelfth—her brother­ in-law, Lord Verulnm..who was an enthu­ siastic sportsman, and his wife among them—aud slic hud half promised them that thia Marvel of marvels should ulso be one of the guests. All were to arrive nbour the ninth, and, as there was occa­ sion to entertaiu a newly made bride. Mrs. Vcrulam hud arranged to give a bull on the tenth. This would give tbe sports­ men the whole of tbe eleventh on winch to rest, and after that the pcluge—for the birds. But just now her program was n little Fpoited because of the fact that Marvel had steadily <l<*cliued to show her­ self either at the dance or in the house during the stay of her party. Finally, by dint of coaxing, she managed to obtain Marvel's consent to be present at the ball. Sjte threw her arms round Marvel’s neck and kissed her. To do her justice, she wus far more sincerely glad for Mar­ vel’s sake than for her own that she had at last conwnted to come out of her shell. Then a sudden thought struck her and frightened her. "I hope you will like the jicople I have asked,” she said, "but of counts you need nut talk to. everybody. And I unfortu­ nately gave carte blanche to my slater­ in-law, Lady Verulam, to bring anyone she chose; and she is bringing Mrs. Scar­ lett." 5 “Yes." said Marvel, and waited, una­ ware that Mrs. Vcrulatn’s steady gnze nt her meant anything, nnd then—“Who is Mrs. Rcarlctt, and why shouldn't she bring her?" "Tbe fashionable beauty, even now, though n year has elni*ed since she first dawned upon an appreciative London au­ dience—aud n wretch! said Mrs. Ve­ rulam-. quite tarried away by such a pal­ try thing as honest fechng, as she looked at Marvel's gentle, spiritual face. The fiddlers had tuned their instruments to the correct pitch, and were playing away valiantly: the rooms were growing every moment more and more crowded. Through all the open windows came the sweet jM-rfume of the living flowers with­ out to mingle with that of the dying ones within; and through the close, velvety darkness one's eyes pierced to where star­ like lights buug suspended on tree nnd shrub. Tbe lord lieutenant of the county, who was a real, live duke and a bachelor to boot—though nn old one—had arrived half au hour back, yet still tbe house party —more psrticutariy lately Lucy Verulam openly and Mrs. Scnrictt secretly—were on the very tiptoe of rxjH.‘Ctattan.

It ' all came back that fate was crushing down upon het which seemed to paralyze her limbs. She made a vehement struggle to overcome her emotion, and after awhile succeeded; but the weary pain in her side which waa beginning to torment her day and night grew stronger because of this effort, and she leaned languidly back in her choir, hardly deigning to answer those who spoke to her. ’ Marvel nnconseiouriy was creating a sensation. Her strange, romantic wedding was of course town talk, and now everybody more or less was discussing her merits and demerits. So this was ths little waif, the stray that Wriothcsley hnd married! No one knew, who she was —a mere nobody—noy, iu nil probability, worse than a nobody. Of course, that sort of thing never did. Here waa she, now, irretrievably bound to him: but where was he? It was one of rite moat unfortunate things that had happened to a young man of position for a very long time. AU this from the women; tbe men were more lenient.

In anticipation of the report be­ ing presented, the largest crowd which ha* attended a srasdon of Congress in year* wus at tin? capital. Not one-tenth of the people who stormed the doors were able to gain admission. The member* of the House awaited the re|»ort with the Mine feverish anxiety manifested by the public, and there was scarcely a vacant seat on tbe floor. The verdict of the court and the mes­ sage from the White House accompany­ ing is brief. The report as a whole is a for­ mal. dispassionate recital ot facts, and bear* the stamp of that strict officialism which marks naval procedure. Au ab­ stract of the eight parts of the report is here given: 1. At the time of the explosion the battleship Maine on* lying in five and one-half to six fathoms of water. 2. Tbe discipline was excellent. Everything was stowed according to order*, including ammunition, guns, aud stores. The temperature of the magazine* nt 8 p. m. was nor­ mal. except in the after 10-inch magazine, and that did not explode. 3. The explosion (recurred at 0:40 o’clock in the evening of Feb. 15. There were two explosions, with n very abort interval* between them. The ship lifted on the first explo­ sion. • 4. The court ran form no definite opinion of the condition of the wreck from the divers’ evidence. 5. Then* are technical details of wreckage, from which the court de­ duces that * mine wa* exploded under the »hip on the port side. 6. The explosion was due to no fault of those on lion rd. 7. In the opinion of the court the explosion of the mine caused the explosion of two magazines. 8. The court is n noble to find evi­ dence to fix the respousIbHIty. The report is unanimous rwffr is signed by all the members of the conrt. It does not refer to the existence or nonexistence of the mine in the harbor of Havana, ex­ cept in the specific finding that a mine was exploded under the ship and the opinion that the explosion of the two magazines was caused by the explosion of a mine. This explain* the remarkable destruction wrought. The explosion is thus shown to have combined the force of a mine with­ out and two magazine* within. The two explosion* which the conrt find* to have occurred, with a very short interval be­ tween them, is an additional detail allow­ ing that -two force* operated iu causing the destruction. The feature of the report of deepest in­ terest to the nary is the complete exon­ eration of Captain Sigabee and all on board, contained in the second finding, setting forth the perfect order and discip­ line prevailing on the ship, and more di­ rectly Mated in the sixth finding, which declare* the disaster to be due to no fault of those on board. While the evidence upon which the court of inquiry based it* finding* wo* not sent to Congress along with the report,* a member of the Foreign Relation* Com-’ mittec who saw this evidence, say* that it present* strung proof nf Spain’s respon­ sibility for the explosion. There is Dot only evidence of a subcuarioe mine, but tbe officer* of the Maine found pieces of a cable and the shore connections. Thl* agrees with the report that Lieutenant Jenkins made such discoveries the day is*fore the Maine was blown up, and with the statement* which have been frequent­ ly published. In th.* House Wednesday morning Rrprew'utative Adam* precipitated a hm de­ bate by attempting to introduce a MU on general taxation. He wa* declared out of order. Afterward be introduced a res­ olution asking the Governor tn send a spe­ cial message to the legislature on tbe subject of equalizing nsswwment* on all ctassra of property. -Col. Atkinson, with ■his eye* strained for "Africans in the wood pile.” sow in this resolution an at­ tempt to sidetrack the Governor’s bill for the taxation of railroad* by taking up the time of the Morion with other Bubjcct*. Several member* *i»oke for and against the resolution, but it wu* finally defeated by a dedeive Vote. In the afternoon Mr. Lawrence introduced a resolution in the Senate similar to that .of Mr. Adauis in the House. Senator 'Barnard moved to refer the resolution, nnd a sharp passage of word* ensued, in which Mr. Barnard’s motion waa lost by a vote of 14 yea* to 10 nays. A huge petition, containing 59,250 signa­ tures of citUrenrf who favor the passage of (be Pingree railroad tax bill, was preoented In the House on Wednesday. These petitions come from every county In the State aud have been collected by the Gov­ ernor since hi* call for a special session wa* issued. Tbe Governor having ascertained that the power to call election* to fill vacancies in either house was vested in the execu­ tive; that If the election* were called on that day the voters might choose Senators to succeed Messrs. Covell, Prraton nnd Hughes, against whom prote*t* are lodged and are now being investigated by a Sen­ ate committee, personally apj»rared upon the floor of the Senate on Thursday and through Senator- Moore hnd n motion made to discharge the investigating com­ mittee and have the contested senator*hi[w made vacant at once. Senator* Covell and Preston are nnti-I’ingrre Sen­ ators, and if an election were now to be held their districts would probably select men favorable to the Governor’s MIL The Governor’s proposition roused nil the ani­ mosity of the Senate, and after an acri­ monious debate between Senators Moore, Thompson and Mason, tbe proposition of tbe Governor to take the investigation from the committee was lost by a .vote of 14 to 14, the rule* of the Senate holding a tie vote to mean the failure of the mo­ tion. The day’* session wa* otherwise uneventful. Resolution* were adopted in both branches expressing sympathy with the Cubans in their struggle for indepen­ dence and pledging the support .of the peo­ ple of Michigan to President McKinley in whatever action he may take for the relief of the suffering island. In tbe even­ ing the committee* of tin* two houses to whom the Governor’s bill was referred gave a joint hearing in representative hall. There wa* little doubt Friday night that Gov. Pingree’* bill for the taxation of tiie property of railroad, telegraph, expreM and telephone companies at its mar­ ket value i* a* good as dead. The Michi­ gan Central is’the company that it is most deaired to reach, but Fred A. Baker, chairman of the Democratic State com­ mittee, who went to Lansing t>n Gov. Pin­ gree’s invitation, advised the legislators in an argument made Friday morning that unless that company’s special charter were first repeated the passage of the Pin­ gree bill would not affect the ctsnpany a particle, but would simply make matter* worse for it* weaker competitors. He fur­ thermore said the bill was unconstitu­ tional in certain particular*, and hi* argu­ ment has hnd tbe effect to di*i»ose of the bill in its present form. The Governor’s bill is entitled simply “A bill tn provide for the nrwMinent and levy of taxes ui»on the proiwrty of rail­ road companies*. express, telegraph and telephone companies.’* It provides for the creation of a State board of aswe**ur*. con­ sisting nf four members appointed by the Governor ami the Auditor General. This boaril shall assess the property of the cor­ porations npmed in the title; it tdiall have power to procure book* and papers, *ubppena ’wltnesae*. require swont statcmeots from railroad and other companies, ami determine! the rate of taxe* to l»e levied, "which ‘rate shall be the same a* the average ratiNof taxes for State, mu­ nicipal and local purposra, not including special assessment* for benefits received.

In a decision handed down by tbe Unit­ ed States Court of Appeals at St, Louis tbe provisional conditions of the railroad pass, such as “tbe holder hereby agrees iu case of accident not to hold the com­ pany responsible,” are practically null and void. The decision was in tbe case of 8. H. H. Clark et ah, ns receivers for the Union Pacific Railway, vs. Arthur C. Greer, administrator of tbe estate of HHim Orwr. .nd lhe Cble.ro, Boek I.Und and PiclOe .Companx. .nd bid been appealed from the United States Circuit Court of Kansas. Tbe decedent was killed in • collision between the two roods mentioned at Linwood, Kan.. In January, 1894. The Rock Island Com­ pany claimed exemption on the ground that they were running on the Unjon Pa­ cific tracks and that the accident was due io the carelessness of their train dispatch­ er. The appeal court held tbe master can­ not escape liability for a servant’s negligance just because he had been given or­ ders by a third party. TWO REGULAR MAILS. HAWAII RECEIVES T.HATNUMBER EACH MONTH. Xnrreaaed Mall Bevvies Bttr-cn Kan Francisco and Honolulu — Time of Transit Lessened - Rich Gold Dig­ gings Found in the Eureka District, Bcem Nearer to Hawaii. As a result of the fortnightly mail sevvlce which went into effect recently, Ha­ waii and tbe United States are brought into' closer relationship, inasmuch us the former is now BMurrd of two regular mails each month from this country. The new service results from an understand­ ing between the Oceanic and CanadianAustralian lines whereby the steamers of the respective lines will leave Auckland and San Francisco every fourteen days, alternately, the Oceanic steamers making the voyage In nineteen days and the Cana­ dian liners in twenty-two and a half days. Tills arrangement lessens the time be­ tween Auckland and San Francisco one day, and the time of the dominion steamera about one week. An important effect of the new schedule will be that the bulk of the English mail ‘for Australia, that now goes by way of the Suez canal, will in the future be transported by way of the Canadian Pacific to Vancouver or by other rail routes to Ban Francisco and thence by steamer.

A. M. Davi* A Co.’* Store and the Rich­ ard h Block Are Destroyed. Fire in the wholesale and retail carpet and furniture house of A. M. I>avis & Co. at Lincoln, Neb., totally destroyed that building and contents. The Richards block, a four-story and basement brick building adjoining on the west, is also a total loss. The loss is placed at between $125,000 and $150,000. Tbe insurance on tbe two buildings and stock of Davis, & (jb. is something over half of the loss. The fire spread westward and threatened the entire square. The Western Union Tele­ graph office, which occupies a building in the block east of the Davis building, moved everything out but the instruments. Newspaper Man** Bloody Death. A terrible street duel look plate at Wa­ co, Texas. W. C. Brann, editor of the Iconoclast, and Capt. M. T. Davis met on South 4th street, in front of the Cot­ ton Belt ticket office, and after exchang­ ing a few words both began emptying their revolvers. When the battle was over Brann was found to Im? shot in the left lung, the left leg and the right foot; Dnvip was shot through the right lung and through bofh "arms. The stirgeons say both men are likely to die. The diffi­ culty between tbe two men grew out of the Brann-Taylor feud of last year. A message from President McKinley, outlining the findings of the Maine board of inquiry, was sent to the House on Mon­ day. After being read it was promptly referred to tbe Committee on Foreign Af­ fairs. Mr. Walker of Massachusetts an­ nounced the death of hi* colleague. Mr. Simpkins, and moved that tbe House ad­ journ out of respect to his memory. This was done, and Speaker 'Reed appointed four members of the Foreign Relations Committee, to which the Maine report bad been referred.Io attend tbe funeral. In‘the Senate the President's message and the report of the board of inquiry were both read, after which the Senate adjourned. After passing a bill to pension the widow, of Gen. John L. Stevenaon at the rate of $30 per month the House devoted the whole day Tuesday to the considera­ tion of the bill to pay certain claims for stores and supplies furnished tbe Union by loyal citizens of tbe South during the war. There was a bitter contest over a claim of $217,000 preferred by tbe heirs of the widow of Gen. Robert E. Lee. She inherited the claim from Mrs. Fitzhugh", her aunt. who. it was admitted, wns loyal. Tbe claim was finally stricken out. but the House recessed before the bill was passed. It provides for the payment of a bant 850 claims, aggregating about $1.­ 200,000 At an evening session pension bills were passed. In tbe Senate, after tbe introduction of Cuban resolutions and a speech by Senator Mjaon. seventy-four private pension bill* were passed. Then Mr. Tillman presented resolutions con­ cerning the death of the late Joseph A. Earle. Senator from South Carolina. Eulogies were delivered by Mr. McLanrin, Mr. Chandler, Mr. Clay. Mr. Spooner. Mr. Chilton. Mr. Cannon. Sir. Kenney. Mr. McEnery and Mr. Tillman. A wild and uproarious scene occurred In the House on Wednesday when Mr. Bailey, the Democratic leader, attlffipted to force tbe hand of the Republicans up­ on a proposition to overrule the Speaker and pass a resolution recognising tbe in­ dependence of the Cuban republic. Mr. Bailey presented the resolution ns a priv­ ileged question. He was ruled out of order by the Speaker. An appeal from the decision of the chair was laid on the table. The House then went into com­ mittee of the whole and resumed consid­ eration of the naval appropriation bill. The Senate Committee on Foreign Rela­ tions has agreed to delay action on all Cuban questions now in its possession un­ til after the President bns had opportunity to conclude pending negotiations. The House on Thursday listened to speeches on the Cuban question. The three speeches which stirred the assem­ blage to its depths were made by Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio, who. it was assumed, spoke for the administration, and who practically pledged it to the cause <>f free Cuba; Mr. Bailey of Texas, the Demo­ cratic leader, who announced the Demo­ cratic position as for free Cuba, without war if it could be avoided, but with war if necessary, and Mr. Johnson of Indiana, who spoke for peace, declaring that it was our duty to go to the extreme in mag.nanimity in order to avoid the horrors of war. In the Senate Mr. Frye of Maine, who reported from the Committee on For­ eign Relations a resolution calling upon the President for the Cuban consular re­ ports, requested that the resolution lie on the table until such time ns the commit­ tee desired to call it up. Mr. Chandler of New Hampshire objected to tbe making of any such contract as suggested. Mr. Frye then moved that the resolution be recommitted to the Foreign Relations Committee. After a somewhat heated discussion the motion was passed. Klondike Travel I* Small. Travel to Alaska has fallen off tremen­ dously. During the last few weeks arriv­ als at Tacoma.

Washington correspondence: It MM-m« apparent that the administra­ tion has been lenient in its dealings with Spain. President McKinley sought tn bring Spain and Cuba to some amicable arrangement which would satisfy both, and nut l>e too humiliating to the Spanish government, but Bngnsta temporised and deceived until at last the President had to lay <l<>wn the definite proposition that the independence of Culm wan the only satisfactory solution to the American peo­ ple and the United States Congress. Sa­ gasta sought for further delay, but. when he could not secure that, his ministry sent a reply which is nn insult to the President. The reply of Sagasta, when stripped of its diplomatic verbiage, informs the Uni­ ted ,States that it should attend to its SKNOR SAG AST A. own business and not meddle with the af­ fair* of Spain. Spain will not submit to dictation from thia government in the affairs of Cuba. She will leave Cuban af­ fairs to the Cuban Parliament and she will consider the question of amnesty when the insurgents ask for it. The Span­ ish note answering the demands was tel­ egraphed from Madrid to the powers, to­ gether with a copy of the American de­ mand*--. In this note Sagasta sweeps away all his diplomatic pretensions of desiring the help of the United States in setting the Cuban question and insolently tells the President to keep his nose out of other people’s business. This reply from the Sagasta ministry was rather stunning, but it wa< no surprise to the members of the cabinet who have for some time urged determined action and expressed distrust of Spain’s pretensions of a desire to end the war and settle tbe Cuban question in a way to satisfy the American people. Sagasta also added insult to presump­ tion and offered to arbitrate tbe question of the Maine. This was more than the President could endure with patience. He had made no demand upon Spain, but had sent to Sagasta the finding* of our court of inquiry, and left to his own sense of honor the offer of a way for treatment of this question without that of war. But Sagasta* s only reply is that he will submit this question to arbitration. It seems ap­ parent nt this writing that Sagasta is ready to end all the differences between this government nnd Spain with war, and hop*** to provoke war by insult. The President is done with diplomatic consideration of these questions. Con­ gress. the war-making power, wifi deal with it. President McKinley will not unite with Spain in an effort to relieve distress In Culm. Spain’s appropriation of <009,000 to feed tbe starving Cubans at this late day is regarded here as only a bluff, with ' no intention of sjwnding a dollar for that purpose. Sagasta realizes that this gov-i ernment will Intervene in Cuban affairs, drive Sjmin from the island, and then Ye-1 Here the starving people. The only ques-1 tion to embarrass the administration in its program of intervention Is a Request that is said to have came from the insur gents, that this garx-rauieut simply recog­ nize Cuban Independence and leave to tbe insurgents the business of driving Spain out of the island. The Cuban idtnsrion han now become ouch that thia government cannot stop at simply a recognition of independence without making that independence secure. It cannot recognize the Cubans as inde­ pendent and 4brn leave them to starve as they have been starving for the last year. And. since Sagasta has failed' to realise the I*re«Ment’» hope that Spain would of­ fer some honorable way of taking the Maine question out of the situation, there was no way of meeting it except by allow­ ing Congress to take it up with the Cuban question. 411 the evidence iwiirts direct­ ly to Spanish treachery in that disaster. Congress so views it. COLLOWING is the full text of the report of the court of inquiry delegated to 1 ascertain the cause* of the Maine explosion: ‘“United States Stwtmahip Iowa. First Rate. Key West. Hat, Monday, March 21. ISOS.—After full and mature consideration of all the testimony before it, the court finds as follows: . ”1. That the United States battleship Maine arived in the harbor of Havana. Cuba, on the 25th day of January. 1808, nnd was taken to buoy No. 4. in from five and one-half- to six fathoms of water, by tbe regular Governmept pilot. “The United States consul general at Havana had notified the authorities at that place the previous evening of the intended arrival of the Maine. “The state of discipline on board the Maine was excellent, and all orders and regulntionn iu regard to the care and safety of the ship were strictly carried out. All ammunition* wm stowed away In accordance with instructions, and proper earc was taken whenever nmunition was handled. Nothing was stowed away in any one of the magazines or sheHrooins which was not permitted to be stowed there. The magazines and shell-rooms were always locked after having been oj>ened, and after the destruction of the Maifie the keys were found in their proper {dace in the Captain's cabin, everything having been reported secure- that evenng at S o'clock. Usual Precautions Taken. “The temperature of the magazines and shell-rooms was taken daily and report­ ed. The only magazine which had nn undue amount of heat was the after 10inch magazine, and that did not explode nt the time the Maine was destroyed. “The torpedo war heads were all stowed’in the after jmrt of the ship under the ward-room, nnd neither caused nor partici|>ated in the destruction of the Maine. “The dry gun cotton primers nnd detonators were stowed in the cabin 'aft and remote from the scene of rhe explosion. “The waste was carefully looked after on Award the Maine to obviate danger. Special orders in regard to this had l»een given by the <x>mmonding officer. “Varnishers, dryers, alcohol nnd other combustibles of this nature were stowed on or above the main deck, nnd could not have had anything to do with the de­ struction of the Maine. ’ “The medical stores were stowed aft under the wardroom nnd remote from the scene of the explosion. No dangerous stores of any kind were stowed below in any of the other storerooms. “Tbe coal bunkers were inspected. Of these bunkers adjoining the forward mag­ azines and shell-rooms, four were empty, namely,. B 3, B 4. B 5 nnd B G. A 15 had .been in use that day, nnd A IB was full of New River coal. This coal had bren’ carefully inspected before receiving it on board. The bunker in which it was stowed was accessible on three sides nt all times, and the fourth side at this time, on account of bunkers B 4 and B G l»eing empty. This bunker, A 10, had been inspected that dav by the engineer officer on duty. “The fire alarms in the bunkers were in working order, nnd there had never been a ease of s|M>ntancous combustion of coal on board the Maine. "The two after boilers of tbe ship were in rise nt the time of the disaster, but for-auxiliary pur|KMU*« only, with a comparatively low pressure of steam, and be­ ing tended by n reliable watch. These boilers could not have caused tbe explosion of the ship. The four forward boilers have since been found by the divers, and are in a fair condition. “On the night of the destruction of the Maine everything had been reported secure for the night nt 8 o’clock by reliable |M>rsom>. through tin* proper authori­ ties. to the commanding officer. At the time the Maine was destroyed the ship was quiet, and therefore least liable to accident caused by movements from those on board. "3. The destruction of the Maine occurred at 9:40 p. m. on the 15th day of. Feb­ ruary. 181*8. in the luirlwir of Havana. Cuba, being at the time moored iu the same buoy to which she bad been taken upon her arrival. “There were two explosions of a distinctly different character, with a very short but distinct interval between them, and the forward part of the ship was lift­ ed to a marked degree nt the time of the first Explosion. “Tbe first explosion was mort in rhe nature of a report like that of a gun: while the second explosion was more open, prolonged and of greater volume. This second explosion was. in rite opinion of the court, caused by the partial explosion of two or more of the forward magazines of the Maine. Condit on of the Wreck. “4. The evidence bearing on tins, being principally obtained from div­ ers, did not enable the court to form a Reunite conclusion ns to the condition of the wreck, although it was established that the after part of tbe ship w practically Intact, and **nk In that condition a very few minutes after tbe dramictlon of tbe forward part. “Tbe following facts in regard to tbe forward part of the ship. are. however, established by the testimony: “That portion of tbe port aide of the protective deck, which extends from about frame 30 to alKiur frame 41 was blown up aft and over to port. Tbe main deck, from about frame 3Qlo about frame 41 was blown up aft and slightly over to starboard, folding the forward pa ft of the middle superstructure over and on top of the after part. ••This was. In the opinion of tbe court, caused by the partial explosion of two or more of tbe forward magazines of the Maine. "5. At frame 17. tbe outer shell of the ship, from a point eleven and one-half feet from the'tnlddle line of the ship, and six from the middle line of tbe ship, and six feet above the keel, when In Its normal position, has been forced up so as to be now about four feet above the surface of the water: therefore, about thirty-four feet above where It would be bad tbe ship sunk uninjured. The outside bottom plating Is l»ent Into a re­ versed V shape, tbe after wing of which, about fifteen feet broad and thirty-two feet In length (from frame 17 to frame 25). Is doubled back upon Itself against the cc-’.tlnuatlon of the same plating extending forward. “At frame IS tbe vertical keel Is broken In two. and the flat keel bent Into an angle similar to tbe angle formed by the outside bottom plating. This break la now about six feet below tbe surface of the water, and about thirty feet above Its norma) position." Caused by Submarine Mine. “In the opinion of the court, this effect could have been produced only by the explosion of a mine situated nnder the bottom of the ship at about frame 18, and somewhat on the port aide of the ship. “tl. Tbe court finds that tbe loss of the Maine, on the occasion named, was not in any respect due to fault or negligence on the part of any of the officers or members of ths crew of said vessel. - _ “7. In the opinion of tbe court the Maine was destroyed by the explosion of a sub­ marine mine, which caused the partial explosion of two or more of her forward magrsines. "R. The court han been unable to obtain evidence fixing tbe responsibility for the de­ struction of the Maine upon any person or persons. “W. T. HAMPSON, “A. MARIX,. Captain U. 8.

RESENT RELIEF PLANS Spaniards Will Interpret Their Execu­ tion as Intervention. The Madrid Impartial says that if the proposition attributed to the United States to send a warship with relief far the reconcentrados next week proves true. Spain will interpret the act as od<- of In­ tervention which would be intolerable. The Madrid correspondent of the Lon­ don Standard says thst the following is the substance of Sjiain’s reply to the note presented by Minister Woodford: “The Spanish reply, which is couched in firm language, stated that the Govern­ ment cannot agree to the roncluaions the American Government has drawn from RsUiug gonry for Vpain. inaccurate Information that does not tally More than Jtt«M«,tMiO has been contrib­ with the recent activity nnd progress of uted during the past four days by Span­ military ojirrations in Cuba, and the visi­ iards is Mexico toward a patriotic fund ble popularity and progress of the new Sc Lt ualf of Spain. colonial institutions, which hare been loy­ adversaries of home rule. Spain cannot, naturally, admit the Interference which is foreshadowed in the American note, and deprecates the sending of official relief and war vessels to Cub* as being the very elements that have retarded the progress of the Spanish rule in the island. “Spain reminds the United States of all tbe concessions she has made to preserve cordial relations nnd conciliate America, the last proof being her willingness to sub­ mit the conflicting commission reports tc arbitration. In conduslot), the Spanish reply shows that the Government believes that it has reached the extreme limit of concessions compatible with tbe honor and dignity of Spain, and will not admit en­ croachments on her rights of sovereignty in the West Indies.*’ NONE WILL ASSIST HER. ' Spain Must Stand or Fall on Her Own Merits. Dispatches from ail the European capi­ tals show that attention is centered on America's preparation for war, which most people believe to be imminent. Hume express sympathy for Spain, but none offers to help her. not even Austria, which has l**en the forcing ground of pro-Spanish intervention. She is now displaying a milder mood. A Vienna correspondent de­ dares that Austria wH! probably recoin­ mend Spain to accept the offered indemni' ty of 790,000.000 francs, with reimbursemeut for her war expenses, and declare Cuba independent. Then the United States would be obliged to agree to* eonceasions regarding the Maine. WUak,' U always a fool: ao Is love. FLOWER THAT TYPIFIES EASTER the Easter flower: deathlike rather than and the field were transformed into East­ Religious and Poetic Ansociationa IIE flower that typiEaster to all ua IBw tions nnd to all peoph* Is the lovely nseensiun Illy, which blooms in fragrant nbrindatice in time f°r l*,e festival <»f *De spring.

It Ilea like n star on the coat lapel of the man at fashion, and rests contentedly pinned to tbe waist of the Easter costume of the belle of the season. As white is tbe tailor of the resurrection, any kind of a spotless blossom can be ap­ propriately used for Easter decoration, but tbe lily is the symbol sanctioned for Easter service by the annual repetition of centuries. From the time of that far­ away morning, when the angel rolled back the ston? from the sepulcher and told tbe sorrowing Mary to seek elsewhere for her risen Savior, the lily in art, in religion, in fashion, has typified the spirit of tbe res­ urrection. Tbe lily was the popular blossom of Pal­ estine. Over and over ngain its beauty is extolled iu the Bible, and the story of its loveliness is continued from page to page, and tbe scent of its fragrance steals faintly through the ages that separate the nineteenth century from the centuries that were chronicled before modern time began. “Consider the lilies of the field," said the wisest man that ever lived. “They toil not, neither do they spin, and yet 1 ray to you that Holomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.” The beauty of the Easter blossom is ns no­ ticeable to-day as in the days of the reign of the sage king of Jerusalem: and all the glory of the yearly Easter raiment, which fashion and beauty together render so enticing, fades into insignificance be­ fore tbe lovely purity of the fierfect star­ shaped flowers. What is properly tbe Easter lily with its lung waxen petals and fragrant heart, is often called by other names, but the d^ lightful odor that Juliet attached to the rose called by whatsoever title, h indeli­ bly associated with the giory of.the spring festival. It promises Easter when March snow and wind are unpleasantly dragging out winter’s life, and presages warmth and sunshine with the advent of April. The calla lily is a colder blossom than suggestive of a new birth, but its purity of whiteness makes it appropriately sea­ sonable. The modest valley lily with its string of tiny colurkws bells, shares also the Easter privilege of paying floral trib­ ute to the joy of the resurrection. . After the lily the symbolic emblem of Easter is the egg. Formerly they were known ns Patch eggs, nnd stained with dye woods nnd herbs, were presented as gifts to friends and acquaintances. Some­ time* th> y vece eaten and somelimes kept ns amulets, and frequently games were played by striking shell against shell. In some moorland portions of Scotland it was formerly the custom for hands of men afid girls to go out early on the morn­ ing of Easter am! search for the eggs of wild fowl to be used at breakfast, and the under considered himself bk-ssed for tbe coming year by the god of fortune. The original use of the egg at Easter simply typified the revivification of na­ ture at that season of the year. The Jews used eggs at the festival of the Passover, and the Persians in their celebrations of the solar new year, which occurred in March, mutually presented each other with colored eggs. Christianity retained the ancient symbol, but changed its sig­ nificance into new birth and the risen life of the resurrection. Many of the popular Eoster observances date backward to tbe times of the pagan ascendancy. The goddess Oatara, or Eas­ ter, w»s the peraonifleatipn of the east, or morning, and also of spring, or the bud­ ding year. Tbe Anglo-Saxon name of April was Estormonnth, and Germany ■till recognizes it ns Ostermonath. Tbe worship of tbe spring divinity was deeply imbedded in the auiieratltioM of northern Germany and was carried to England by the Saxons. Even to the beginning of the present century Ostermonath was cel­ ebrated in Prussia by ceremonial rites and bonfires. Like the May jubilees in Eng­ land. it was mainly a festival of joy: joy nt the Vising of the long-hidden sun nod nt the awakening of nnture after her drowsy winter’s rest. But the church turned natural rejoicing into spiritual joy. and substituted the sun of righteousness for the material sun. and the resurrection of Christ for the birth of nature, while the bonfire is typified in the huge Paschal candle of Easter Saturday. Origin of Coloring Easter Eggs. In all oriental mythology the egg is the symliol of life, the mysterious appearance of a living creature from the apparently inert matter contained within the shell being so unexplainable, on any principle of science, that, the Hindoos regard the hatching of every egg as a direct Interpo­ sition of- divine power. In the early days of Christianity a great many Pagan aupenrtftions were engrafted on tbe new sys­ tem. The Saturnalia of Rome became the Christinas midwinter Festival. The spring holidays of the gods of the wood er. The sending of eggs, as presents in the spring, was a common practice long before tbe time of Cbr&t among both tbe Persians, the-Hindoos, the Egyptians and the Jews, the egg being regarded as em­ blematic of the resurrection of nature from u state of apparent death. Many, if not most, of the early Christiana were Jews aud retained the practice, coloring the eggs red in allusion to the crucifixion. THE DATE OF EASTER. Why It la Sometimes Early and at Other Time* Late. The date of Easter is determined by tbe ecclesiastical calendar of the Catholic Church. It is a very complicated and laborious affair invented by Lilius, a Nea­ politan astronomer and sage, under Pope Gregory XIII., nt the close of the six­ teenth century. It would be preposterous to tax the brains of modern readers with the abstrusce calculations by which tbe date of Easter is determined, but n few general rules might be given for their en­ lightenment. The regulations of tbe council of Nice are four: First, Easter must be celebrat­ ed on a Sunday; second, this Sunday must follow the fourteenth of the paschal moon; tUrd, the paschal moon is that moon wTftse fourteenth day falls on or next fol­ lows the day of the vernal eqninox; fourth, the equinox is fixed invariably in tbe calendar on the 21st day of March. This calendar moon, it should be re­ membered, is not the moon of the heavens nor yet the moon of the a»tronomers, but it is an imaginary moon created for ec­ clesiastical convenience. From these con­ ditions it follows that Easter Sunday cannot happen earlier than the 22.1 of March or later than the 25th of ApriL How to Make Easter Padding. To make Easter pudding, says the Woman’s Home Companion, put, a pint of milk Into a small saucepan, and set over the fire; moisten four tablespoonfuis of cornstarch with a little cold milk, and mid to the milk in the saucepan, stir until thick, add half a tcacupful of sugar and a tabk’spoonfu! of vanilla. Have ready a dozen eggshells that have been carefully emptied through a small hole in the top, till them with the mixture, stand np in a pan of meal nnd set aside to harden. Tuns a large soup plate upside down in tbe bottom of a round, two-quart tin pan, pour gelatin jelly over the soup plate and set aside to harden. Whip a pint of cream, turn the jelly out on a large, round disb, remove the soup plate. Cut strips of cai>died orange or lemon peel and put arountl the space for straws, and fill the center with the whipped cream. Peel the shells off the cornstarch eggs, arrange them in the center of the nest, send to tbe table, aud serve in glass saucers. THE EASTER -ADVANCE GUARD." �Dr. W. C.

Mason (III.) followed the introduction of the resolutions in the Senate with a vigorous war speech. He described viv­ idly the disaster to the Maine. He said that If-ninety of the victims bad been Sen­ ators or sons of Senators we would not have been forty days declaring war. Yet the lives of all Americans were sacred alike under our law and equally entitled to consideration. Mr. Mason said tbe ca­ tastrophe should be replied to vigorously. He could not speak for others, but for himself he was for war. This declaration brought out a vigorous outburst of ap­ plause from tbe galleries. The Illinois Senator declared there could be no petto* »o long as a European nation owns and butchers its slaves on this hemisphere. He said it was not nec­ essary for the Maine court to fix the respoustyilitay. The law did that. If It was a torpe« * or a mine it was a Spanish torpedo or a Spanish mine. Hence Spain must answer.

"We are told,’’ be said, "we must wait on the Spanish elections, bnt if Spanish election* are ax rotten as Span­ ish diplomacy we had better not wait, lad us awake.” said Mr. Mason, in conclu­ sion, "to glorious war. as did our fathers— a war that shall insure the honor and re­ spect nf our flag al! over the world."

The story of this woman is the every day history of thousands who are suffering as she did; who can be cured as she was.; who will thank herfor showing them the way to good health, , The most remarkable thing about Mrs. Nellie J. Lord, of Strafford Corner, N. H, is that she » alive to-day. No one, perhaps, is more surprised at this than Mrs. Lord herself. She looks back at the day when she stood on the verge of death and shudders. She looks ahead at a life of happiness with her children, her hus­ band and her home with a joy that only a mother can realize. Mra. Lord is the mother of three children, two of whom are twins; until the twins came nothing marred the joy of her life. Then she was attacked with heart failure and for a year was unable to attend to the ordinary duties of the borne. In describing her own experience Mrs. Lord says: “I had heart failure so bad I was often thought to be dead. 44 With this I had neuralgia of the stom­ ach so bad it was necessary to give me morphine to deaden the pain. 44 Sometimes the doctors gave me tem­ porary relief, but in the end it seemed as if my suffering was multiplied. 44 Medicine did me no good and was but an aggravation. “fwu sothin my nearest friends failrd to recognize me. “No one thought I would live. “I was in despair and thought that my days were numbered.

The vital elements in Mrs. Lord's blood were deficient. The haemoglobin was ex­ hausted. She was unfit for the strain Mw. was compelled to undergo. Her nervooa system was shattered and her vitality dropped below the danger point. A .collaosc was inevitable. Dr WiSams 4 Pink Pills cured her by supplying the lacking constituents of health by filling the veins with blood rich in the requisite dement of Life. The heart re­ sumed its normal action; the nervous sys­ tem was restored to a state of harmony, and the neuralgic affection disappeared.

But It is not Just exactly so. A horse is a horse, too, but some horses are worth more than others. And so are the clothes tbev ' ' wear. Now about our Harness. We don’t claim we sell them so much cheaper than others, but we DO claim to make them just as GOOD as they can be made. We use nothing but tbe very highest grade of oak stock. The thread ■we use costs about double what that costs ordinarily used In making harness, but it is worth three times the amount to the harness, before it wears out. .* So with pads, trimmings, etc. Everything we put in our harness is tbe best money can buy. It all helps to make a harness which will give satisfaction for years and years. There are other things we want to tell you, too, before - you decide upon where to buy your harness.

Armstrong, ex-judge of probate of Barry county, nad a narrow escape from losing his life by fire last Friday morning. His store at Bowens Mills was destroyed by fire about two o'clock in the morning, with ail its contents. The store contained the postoffice and township clerk’s office, in addition to a large stock of general merchandise. The mail matter and post office records were entirely des­ troyed, with most of the books and records of the township clerk. The fire started from the overturning of a lamp. Mr. Armstrong heard a noise in a barn, went to the store and light­ ed a lamp to fill a lantern. The lamp tipped over or exploded. In an at­ tempt to stamp out the flames Mr. Armstrong’s feet and limbs were badly burned to his knees, also one side of : his neck and face. He fell exhausted and was pulled away from tlie flames unconscious. He will recover. ■ It seems the place for old and young to have a jolly good time lias been at the home of Miss Ella Hackathorn or at least the young ladies of East: Castleton thought so, who attended i the party site gave at tier home Satur- I day, in honor of Mies Jennie Kinne’s 18th birthday. The afternoon was spent in singing, s{leaking, music and games and ^looking over the many beautiful presents Miss Jennie re­ ceived. The essay “Advice for We Girls” written and read by Miss Ella Heckathorn, was fine, and no -doubt the young ladles who were present will remember and cherish the advice she gave them. Supper was called at five o’clock and twenty-two sat down down at well loaded tables. When supper was over all returned home with light and happy hearts, thinking they had made some one happy and hoping they would meet at the same place when another year had rolled around.

Ayer Company of Lowell, Mass., recently celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of their business career by a grand social gathering of their employees, nunibering nearly four hundred, to whbtn they tendered a banquet, with speehes by Mayor Ben­ nett and various officers of the com­ pany followed by a ball in which one hundred and tifty'couples participated, was a fitting celebration for a company which for half a century has been rec­ ognized as one of the leading busi,ness firms of its kind in the world, and which bids fair to continue its prosperity for another fifty years. For two or three weeks now the high- i ways of this community have been al­ most impassable, it has materially injured trade, <to»t the farmers more than'double what it would to draw their produce to town on good road*, yet from year to year there is nothing d^ne to better them and prepare them for this time of tlie year when they are always bad. It is not progressive and does not bespeak the pride and attention which the roads of our country should receive. While each recurring season of mud aud and mire, of jolts and washouts, of dust aud heavy sands finda nothing accomplished in the direction of betler roads, our people plod along in the same old way and wait for nature to make them passable. There are a good many ways that the roads could he kept up and at practically as small an expense as they are now kept. The streets in the village are a shame and no resident can entertain a feeling of pride for our roads as he should. Main street is just now recovering from a condition which would shame the worst clay roads of Ohio. Let us get to the front with our. roads and see if we can not eel a pace for other towns around us, or, at all events, keep in sight of them. fortuity in equipment in ordnance and ammunition would seem to be beyond the domain of argument, and yet news­ paper accounts represent the ordnance bureaus of the Army and Navy de­ partment* as considerably chagrined over the shortsightedness of the said bureaus in the past in notliworkfng for uniformity in those lines. What­ ever the feeling of chagrin may be, there certainly can be little surprise in the feelings with which officers of the army and navy must regard the effects of the work which was done by both arms in the adoption of t wo dif­ fering calibers of rifles for the allied branches of the service. Even super­ ficial reading of the daily and weekly press would have informed them of the progress made in this direction and of tlraadangers involved. As it starfds to-day, there is one caliber for the’navy rifle and another for the army, and the national guard, of course, has nothing rnpre modern than the Springfield .45, which differs from both. If reports are to believed, similar differences exist between the calibers of the large guns used in what is evidently by mistake called the united service. It has been the fash­ ion .for the two services to lay the blame for nearly all shortcomings up­ on the reprasentatives of the people in Congress assembled, but it is hard to see tliat that reproach holds good in this instance. It would really ituem to an outside civilian observer as if there waa room fur the exercise of a little plain common sense by the responsible authorities in the military and naval forces of the United States. —Bradstreet. Experts claim that the present out­ look for fruit is very' favorable. So far it ie not thought any damage has been done to buds or vines. The class of weather that hurts is a very warm spell in the winter followed by a cold snap which kills the developing fruits. There is every indication now that buds are plump and healthy and will mature with no serious drawback In­ to a good crop. For apples this is the bearing season. Last year the crop was light, following the previous year’s great a bound a nee. E. and H.

Great excitement prevails in Washington. cover the ground, but it soon melted away and by the night of the second had mostly disappeared. From the second to this date ( April fl) the tem­ perature has ranged low, with heavy, cold winds from the north. At Lan­ sing the maximun temperature the first five days of the month ranged from 28 to 37 degrees, and the minimum from 16 to 28 degrees. This continued cold weather, with high winds is sure­ ly injuring wheat, but it is yet too early to estimate percentage of dam­ age. The percentages that follow indicate condition April 1, or before the servere weather set in. The average condition in the State, April 1, was 96; in the southern count­ ies, 95: in ‘the central, 98; and in the northern, 99; conparison being with average years. These percentages are higher than reported at the same date in any previous year since 1891, when the average for the State was 96, and for the southern counties 97. One year ago the average condition in the &tate was 87; in 1895, 85; and in 1894. 90. The amount of wheat reported marketed in March is 1,567,932 bush­ els, and in the eight months. August —March, 12,927,332 bushels, which is 5,392,461 bushels^nore than reported marketed in the same months last year. The average condition of clover meadows and pastures is, in the State and southern and central counties, 95, and northern counties 96 per cent. Live stock has wintered well and is reported in condition. The average condition in the State is 96 for horses, sheep and swine, and 95 for cattle. The notes of correspondents indicate that the outlook for apples and peach­ es is favorable. Previous to April 1, the date of the reports, no perceptible damage had occurred. SCHOOL NOTES.

Until the universal Introduction of chilled steel cages this was not a difficult matter. Dogs are telegraphed for at a distance probably of 150 miles. They arrive a day after tbe escape. They are led In leash to the point where the criminal Is supposed to have made bls exit nnd uncoupled. They take up tbe scent instantly and follow It rapidly. The man must have cross­ ed much water or confused his trail with tbe hurrying footsteps of dozens of others to throw them off. Always supposing that twenty-four hours is the extreme limit of “law" allowed the fugitive, the bloodhounds are the liest means of effecting bls capture. Having far to travel, they do not bay.

The breed spread all through the South, although I have never beard of the dogs being used ns man hunters in the upper tier of Southern States. 1 doubt that one has ever been laid upon the trail of h negro In Virginia. North Caro­ lina or Maryland. As a matter of course the planters of this century were careful to protect their slaves as far as possible from at tacks by the animals. This was gen­ erally easy. The runaway slave inva­ riably made for the swamp at the back of the plantation. It contained many streams and lagoons, which aided him in throwing the dogs off the scent. If the worst came to the worst he could always climb a tree. I have no doubt that the ancient anecdote of the coou i which remarked to the man with the : gun. “Don’t shoot, mister; I’m going to i come down.” had Its origin In some runaway “luind" perched In a cypress and gazing down nt bis Irate master, but preserving always the negro’s sen<- ows up to tbe age of 30 their best of humor.

Tbe Senate committee on Wedueeday gave a hearing upon the Pingree bill for the taxation of railruada and- listened to arguments for and against It. The most notable opponent of the measure waa *xGovernor Rich, now collector of custom* at Detroit He argued that the present law providing for a tax on gross earning* of railroads is the most equitable measura yet devised. Lieutenant Governor Dun­ stan’s holding that the bill will require • two-thlrds vote, as it contains a proriaioQ to repeal certain special charters, is a actback to the Piugrecites, who have prac­ tically alnndoned hope of passing the measure in the Senate. There Was a hot time in the Senate Thursday afternoon and night when ths bill of Governor Pingree for the taxation of railroads and other corporations waa reported ont and considered in committee of the whole. It wa%pointed out that the machinery of the bill is complicated and that the present tax on earnings is muds more equitable than.the system of direct taxation proposed. It was argued that If tbe railroads are not paying sufficient taxes the rate may be increased under the present system. The entire afternoon and evening was consumed in dl.-cusalng the measure, and an adjournment waa taken until Friday. The measure waa amended so as to include electric railway lines, and by eliminating the provlsioa providing for the taxation of tbe franchlses of railroad companies. Tbe debate wns characterized by warm words and exchanges of personalities. Gov. Pingree hns failed to rcalixe the object for which he convened the I>egielature in extraordinary session. Although there were but three votes cast in the House against his bill for tbe taxation of the property of telegraph, telephone, ex­ press and railroad companies, the Senate effectually disposed of it in the evening. It fell two short of thi‘ seventeen vote* necessary for passage, and a motion to reconsider this vote was tabled. The de­ bate in the Senate began in the morning and continued all day and evening. Morn­ ing and afternoon sessions were held and tbe galleries and vacant places on the floor of the chamber were crowded. Gov. Pingree wns a close listener to the debate, which at times grew very warm. Fre­ quent allusions were made to the Gov­ ernor, and be was often severely criti­ cised not only for calling the special ses­ sion of the Legislature, but for the man­ ner in which it was alleged he attempted to force his measure upon it. At uooa the Pingree faction was not without hope of passing the bill in the Senate. Sen­ ator Coleman of Kalamazoo, who had spoken against it in committee of the whole, unexpectedly favorpd the passage of the measure upon third reading and it was thought his vote would make the necessary seventeenth in its favor. The accession was offset, however, by the position taken by Senator Forsythe, who, while favoring an increase,in railroad tax­ ation, refused to cast his vote for the Pin­ gree bill until after the passage of a measure to equalize freight rates, assert­ ing that tbe success of the pending meas­ ure' would be followed immediately by higher rates from non-competing points. Friends of. the measure coaxed and threatened; but in vain. If the bill was not passed, they said, the people who be­ lieved railroads are not paying their share of the taxes would rebuke the Republican party at the polls and elect a Democratic Legislature. Each Senator was confront­ ed with many petitions from his district, and all possible strings were pulled, with­ out avail, to drive the Senators into line. In tbe Senate Friday evening a bill waa introduced and passed amending the char­ ter of the Michigan Central Railroad so as to bring it under the provisions of the general railroad law for the purposes of taxation. The House went the Senate one better by passing a bill to repeal the Michigan Central Railroad charter. Tbe vote stood 84 to 1 in fa.vor of the bill The State will be required to pay the railroad eompeny whatever damages it may sus­ tain by reason of the repeal, should this bill become a law. Governor Pingree on Saturday morning -•resented his war message to the House, the Senate having adjourned until Tues­ day night, and the bills which accompa­ nied it were unanimously passed. The message was brief, simply deploring the fact that the nation is on tlv verge of 1 foreign war. and recommending the pas­ sage of a bill authorizing a loan of $500,­ 1000, to be made available at once and to be used only in case of war. The Legioj lature was also asked to provide for reI cniiting the national guard up to 150 men I per company, and to authorize the board of State auditors to allow the claims of I the adjutant general's office for completI ing the military records. Measures cover­ ing the subjects suggested were immedi­ ately introduced, and under a suspension of the nilea passed od their third reading. The joint resolution making tbe war ap­ propriation provides for making the loan for a |>eri<»d of not less than five nor more than ten years, the interest to be 4 per c<*nt. A war loan sinking fund is also providetl for. The message of the Gover­ nor touching upon a patriotic subject was received with applause from tbe floor and galleries. The House also took up Rep­ resentative Bemis’ bill providing for an increase in the taxation of railroads under the present specific tax system, which now annually provides about $750,000. Th* bill practically doubles the taxation of the companies. After a general discussion the measure was passed by a vote of 80 to 7. Drink Man Needs. Hhort State Items.

Or, if you can’t do that— I believe”—tenderly—“you couldn’t—why not keep out of her way? She’s a per­ fect fiend, that woman, when she likes.” "I am going to keep out of everybody’s way.il said Marvel, with a slight in-draw­ ing of her breath. “I am going back to where 1 came from—to the north.” • "To that prison—that isolation? Oh. auroly not!” he cried. “Yon are not in «aroeat? It is but the impulsive thought •f an offended moment?” He looked at her eagerly for confirma­ tion of his words; but she shook her bead. “I am indeed going,” she said, “and "Yon cannot go at once.

Do you know’’—gazing at him earnestly—“there was a time when I began to fear I was a person whom bo one could like. And that thought waa terrible. Then you came, and"— with a lovely, trustful smile at him—“I knew I was mistaken.” “Mistaken, indeed!" he said, in answer to her; but It was rather of himself he spoke. To have given his heart in this Irrevocable way to an object so unnattainable was indeed the very madness -af folly; but it was too late to think of that now. CHAPTER XV. The next day Marvel returned to Ring­ wood Abbey. The loneliness of her north­ ern home sank deep into her. She miss­ ed the brightness, the laughter of the <laya she had left behind her, marred though they were by the studied imperti­ nence of the woman whom her husband loved. Mrs. Verulam wm prevented from coming to her until the last week in No­ vember, so that much time wns given to her to grow sad and disappointed with the monotony of her surroundings. Mrs. Verulam stayed until the second week in December, and then told Marvel that she had been commissioned by I-ady Lucy to take ber down with her to Veru­ lam Court. They all traveled southward. Marvel had insisted on Cicely’s being her guest in the house in Grosvenor Square, which ohe herself had as yet never seen.

Every one worth- knowing was Some of tbe gowns were marvels of in­ genious beauty, but it was unanimously carried that Mrs. Scarlett was, as usual, the best-dressed woman present. . Lady Wriolhesley was unfeignedly glad to see Savage. It was the simple pleasure af a child she showed; nil her feeling was AaM bare; one might bave been sare there ■was nothing behind. Barage, on tbe contrary, seemed con•strained and—if it could be said of «o "He took her hand and held ft fast, while <* dark red color dyed hi* brow. • "I did not know—I had not beard.” he otammered foolhkly; and then all at once he recovered himself, aud drew his breath sharply, and flung up his head as if in • derision of his own weakness. “I be­ lieved you still in the north," he said. recent one.” said she. laughingly. one, as she -was so standing that he could see her only by flashes, as the people around her moved this way nnd that; but the view he did get held him. The .lights were shining fiirvctly on the bronze of her soft'bair and on the rich white folds of the velvet gown she wore —a gown too old for her perhaps, yet It seemed to suit the gentle dignity that be­ longed to her, and it sat exquisitely upon her svelte girlish figure. Her face, as us­ ual. wns colorless, save for the red lips nnd the dark gleam of the lustrous eyes; diamonds flashed whenever she moved, and high up In her hair shone the famous Wriotbesley star. But the man watch­ ing her from his secret corner wns too much attracted by the indistinct gllpmses he caught pf' her face to take any notice of such minor details an diamonds. Once again she turned in hi? direction, and again he saw her for a moment only. Those marvelous eyes—they seemed to sink into his soul—so true, so deep, so ten­ der! Where before bad he seen eyes like them, yet unlike? He had a vague idea that thorn: dimly remembered eyes hnd belonged to a child, whereas these were full of the sweet, earnest beauty of pure womanhood. A henry sigh escaped him. Next to him were two men, also propped -against this friendly wall that seemed made for the reception of waifs nnd strays; and pres­ ently s Wriotbesley became aware that they were talking. One or two words they used caught his car. | "Mrs. Scarlett is cut out at Inst." said one of them, a tall, military-looking man. “I suppose she won’t take kindly to the usurper? It’s rough on her after such n long and undisputed reign. I often think how cruel a moment it must be for a wom­ an who has held the scepter so triumph­ antly when she finds she must relinquish it not so much to superior beauty--that would be bad enough—but to youth; there lies the sting!" "The oddest part of this affair is that the two women are so alike. Did yon hear that there was a relationship there?" —with a knowing glance. “No; nor did you either,’'' said the other, with a good-natured laugh. “Don’t let us run riot in romance! As to the resemblance you speak of, it is there, I allow, but transient, hardly worthy of comment.” “Why, my dear fellow, the coloring, or rather the very novel want of coloring, the eyes, the very shape of the face, all correspond.”’ CHAPTER XVI. Wriothesley had listened deliberately, hoping to hear the name of the fresh beauty who had evidently—as he gather­ ed frqm their conversation—taken the world of London by storm and threatened to destroy Mrs. Scarlett's prestige; he knew it was the girl in white velvet upon whom his eyes had fallen when first he entered the rooms, and he felt a certain anxiety to know her name. He was not to hear it then, however. The trio moved away, talking dow of something,entirely foreign to either beau­ ty or rivalry; and Wriotbesley. with a sense of disappointment, disappeared through a door on his left, and made bis' way to a tiny boudoir well known to him, which, being rather apart from the rest of the rooms, left him a faint hope that it might be untenanted. It was n charming little apartment hung with amber satin and lavishly sup­ plied with hot-house flowers. For the moment he found his desire gratified— it was deserted indc<*d: and, with a sigh of relief, he flung himself upon a conch and let hl* brow fall forward into his palm. He was thinking deeply, compelling him. lo go back to those scenes iu which Leonie had played so strong a part, aud when he had believed no time could im­ pair the passion he then felt for her. He was still dreaming thus when the sound of approaching voices roused him. He changed Ids position, withdrawing into th” shadow of a cushioned window as the thick satin curtain that guarded the entrance was pushed aside to permit the entrance of two persons. "If she said that, I certainly should not loae heart. Cicely is difficult, I grant you; but some time there always comes a lucky muxueut. Wait for yours. ” Yes; •leave me now. It ia your dance with her, I — --------know; and I shall tx> glad to have a quiet five minutes here all to myself. A little unsociable, isn’t it? But such a crush— such a crowd—it is intolerable! Oh, Sir George, If you should see my partner—it is Lord Csstierock—do not—I command you"—laughing—"divulge my hiding­ place!" “Madame, your word is law,” salr Sir George, bowing low. ■ He went away; and Marvel, with a lit­ tle comfortable sign, leaned back among her cushion*. Al the sound of ber voiee Wriothcsley had started, and dow raised his bead, to find himself looking at the girl who bad *o attracted him on hi* first entrance. Who was she? What was there about her to make bis heart beat •<> convulsive­ ly? He feft as though he were on the verge of some mystery and dreaded the discovery of it. What an exquisite face ■he had! She held heraelf like a young queen. There was indeed a lovely dis­ tinction about her to which few could lay claim. . He pushed aside the curtain of the win-' dow, and the ring* that held it ran to­ gether with a alight hut sharp noise. It induced her to turn her head, and their But «he waved him back. It was her last effort, however. , The agitation, the surprise, tho Mound of his voice as it spoke her name—all were too tnuch for her. Once again bnt for bls arm she would have fallen; and thi* time ohe was indeed insensible. As he stood there, holding her and gaz­ ing with mixed feelings into her face, four persons came into the room. The first was Mrs. Scarlett; cud she stopped short on the threshold, as though rendered pow­ erless by the scene before her—Wriothe*ley, pale, impassioned, with his wife in his arms. The sight wa* unutterably hateful to her. There had been a scene. Would n reconciliation follow on it? No; she would take care to prevent that! So much thought took up but a mo­ ment of time, so swift was the brain; and she was roused into a sense of the pres­ ent by the fact of Savage’s rushing quick­ ly to her. He hurried to where Marvel lay. still unconscious in this strauger's anus, and made a movement as if to take her from him; but Wriotbesley motioned him back with one hand. "Thin is presumptuous, sir,” sold Sav­ age, in a low tone. Hi* face was as white a* Marvel's own. his manner ex­ tremely agitated. Great.Heaven, was she olive, or did that awful pallor mean death itself? "You had better surrender this lady to her friends. You have yet to ac­ count to me fur the state in which I find her.” He hardly knew what he was saying; ^but Wriotbesley remembered every word. It was tbe most absurd attack in the world, born evidently of a moment fraught with fenr nnd anxiety; but it wm impossible not to recognize the tone of possession, the agony of love alarmed, that lay beneath it aud betrayed itself in exery glance directed at the senseless form. “Account to you?" said. Wriotbesley. "To we—yes. Who nre you who dare to stand there holding her against the wishes of her friends?” "Her busband,” said Wriotbesley, calm­ ly. "And you?” Savage drew’ back as if stunntMl. He knew it then. Like a flash it nil came back to him. This was the man who had stood at the door of the railway car­ riage—the man who Marvel had told him was Lord Wriotbesley. He had made a fool of himself; but he hardly thought of that in the bitterness of the moment that found him face to face with her hus­ band. There had always been the vague, latent hope that he would never return; and now he was facing him, holding from him the one woman whom afone he de­ sired. Thus would he hold her from him forever! Marvel stirred, moved n little in Wriothesley’s arms, and sighed faintly. Mrs. Verulam, who, with Sir George, had also come in. was bending over her, gently but vigorously chafing her hand. She was, therefore, the first person that Mar­ vel saw as she opened her eyes; nnd a gleam of passionate relief came into her face. She caught her hand; she seemed • indeed to cling to her. throwing off Wriothesley’s support with an ill-concealed shudder. “He did not know me!” she said to Mrs. Verulam, in a heart-broken whisper tint yet was loud enough to be heard by nil. This was the Inst straw—the'one thing too much for the already too cruelly bur­ dened heart! Here Mrs. Scarlett's partner for the dance then begun arrived upon the scene, and she went away with him. Marvel had expressed a wish to go hcuie nt once, nnd Mr*. Verulam wns anxious to get her away ns soon ns possible. She was quite herself again, but looked worn nnd pallid to nn alarming degree. She turned away from Wriotbesley, however, when he would have offered her bis arm to es­ cort her to her carriage, nud looked di­ rectly nt Savage, who stood nt n distance. “Nigel, you will take me down?" she said, distinctly, before Mr*. Verulam— who would have prevented her if she could—hnd divined her intention. And Nigel of course came forward. She laid her hand ou him arm nnd left the room. Wriotbesley would hove fol­ lowed; but Mrs. Verulam called to him in a voice that was very low but that, as Sir George hnd learned, meant much. "A word, Fulke," said Mrs. Verulam. "You will come home with us to-night.” “Ob. thank you!" said Wriotbesley. rather uncertainly, being divided between surprise at the anger in her eyes and the gratitude for the hospitality she wns evi­ dently’so eager to Imotow. "You are very good Indeed. But----- ’’ "There is no goodness about It. and no need of thanks. The bouse to which I wish you to come* is yours, not mine. 1 am staying with your wife for the few days we remain in town." “Ind«*d! It make* it then the easier to refuse.” snid Wriuthesley. “I shall take no refusal. You must accompany me and Marvel home to­ night." ‘•Impossible.

I promised ho Hast night to pay her a visit to-day.” “Do you think it demands nn apology?” said Mrs. Verulam, with a little peculiar laugh: and then he went away. Marvel sat quite still. She said noth­ ing, nor did Mr*. Verulam. who was in­ deed compulsorily silerft. as she was do­ ing battle with her feelings. At length Marvel grew restless, as though the si­ lence wns becoming unbearable, and. get­ ting up. she began to move nervously about the room, changing a flower on a vase here nnd altering the position af a quaint little Wedgewood bowl on n cabi­ net there. At last she went up to Cicely nnd said mournfully— "He has gone to sec her." "So ft appears, said Mrs. Verulam, af­ fecting an air of indifference that she was far from feeling. “I shall not be able to bear It," said Marvel, whose lips hnd grown white. “Don’t lay too much stress on the visit. Sec here, Mnrvel—I will tell you one thing —the very fact that he openly declared hto intention should show you that there to little in II” “A very little would be too much," said Marvel, coldly. (To be continued.) GRAND DUKE GIVEN A LESSON. Sergios Comes Between Lovers and'Is Snubbed by Hi* Fellow Officers. The officer* of the rogipient of hus­ sars of the guard at St. Petersburg gave their captain, the Grand Duke Sergius, a very severe lesson the other day. There exists a very strict rule antong tbe crack regiments of the guard of most European armies forbidding tbe officers to flirt with the wives or sweet­ hearts of comrades in tbe name regi­ ment. This rule was ruthlessly vio­ lated a short time ago by 'the GramL Duke in the case of Miss Dourvano, a) very pretty girl, engaged to be married •to Count Oaten Sacken. one of his fel­ low officers. Enamored of her charms and captivated by her fascination of manner, the Grand Duke began to lav­ ish all sorts of flattering attentions up­ on her, and In vulgar parlance to make love to her, which she, prompted by foolish vanity, reciprocated by com­ mencing a flirtation with hlifi. The Count laid the case before the of­ ficers and. despite the Grand Duke's royal blood. It was unanimously decided to “send him to Coventry.” AH inter­ course with him. save that of an of­ ficial character, was therefore com­ pletely severed, so much so that when he appeared at mess no owe spoke to him or replied to his remarks. Much disgusted, and finding the situation in­ tolerable, the Prince, complained to hl* father, who laid the matter before tn# Czar, asking at the same time that tbe officers should be dismissed. This the Czar would not bear of doing, and, be­ ing of opinion that his young cousin had only got what he richly deserved, transferred him to another reglmeur. The Count's marriage has l>een broken off, and Miss Dourvano, finding herself much talked of in St. Petersburg so­ ciety, has sought refuge abroad.—Lon­ don Modern Society. Ruffe red for His Kindness. In the railroad service the strictest guard la kept over the employes, and the severest Injunctions given that no passenger without a,ticket or an au­ thorized pa» be allowed to ride free, not even for the distance of a few miles. In consequence, the conductors are ofteu put in hard positions. There are some pitiful cases that appeal to them, and at times there is a strong temptation to lot mercy usurp the place of duty. Not long ago, on a Western road, a train pulled out of the station, just at dusk, afad after it had gone a few miles the conductor stopped at the seat of a poorly clad passenger, who said that he was unable to pay bls fare. He was then told that he would hpve to get off at the first stopping place, and at this the poor wretch broke down and cried Hke a child. He said that he was on bls way to see his mother, who wa* 111. and If be were not allowed to ride free be would be unable to reach her before she died, as he had no way of getting any money at tbe next sta­ tion.

The quantity of snow and 1ve that came down in the slide is estimated at thousand* of tons. It swept directly acrow the trail, which, notwith­ standing the fact that the weather was unsuitable foY travel, was thronged with wayfarers.

Within the shadow of this majestic cliff stood n little colony of tents, uidny of whose occupants were awakened only by the grip of death to fight for life against a rain of ice nnd rock that in a ft«w minutes had burled the little white village under thirty feet of nvaianche debris.

MANY STATES REPRESENTED. Kapid Erection of Building* at TransMini**ippl Exposition. Plans for State buildings at the tranaMhsbaippi exposition in Omaha are com­ ing in rapidly. The department of pub­ licity has just received the architect's drawings for tbe Minnesota building, the Montana building, the Arkansas building, the Denver building and the Missouri building. The plans for the proposed Iowa build­ ing met the hearty approval of the experts of the exposition. The Illinois building is nearly completed, with the exception of an additional wing made necessary for the accommodation of the fine art exhibit which Illinois will bring to the exjiosition. The Wisconsin building is well under way and is one of the most complete State buildings on tfee grounds. The Nebraska building is practically completed. The plans for the Denver, or Colorado, building have been accepted and the contract will be let in a day or two. Plans for the Georgia pine palace have been submitted. It will be constructed wholly of piue donated by the people of Georgia. It is a handsome structure. Tho Minnesota building will Im* constructed on similar lines of unhewn Minnesota logs. Plans for the Oregon building are now being drawn and will b<* .submitted next week.

COMFORT, NUMBER 34 II Congress has passed resolutions declaring Cuba free and independ­ ent and demanding of Spain that she immediately withdraw her troops from the island. President McKinley has signed tlm resolu­ tions, which thereby become operative immediately, and has sent to Spain an ultimatum reciting the facts. The president in his ultimatum to the Spanish government trans­ mits a copy of the resolutions passed by congress, which resolutions he states he has signed. He demands that Spain withdraw her army and navy forces from Cuban waters as required by the terms of the act of congress ( no date for the withdrawal being mentioned ) and then states that if a satisfactory answer is not received here before tomor­ row night he will proceed at once to carry the Devolutions of congress Into effect. The Spanish cortes was convened Wednesday by the queen regent, who urgently requested the Spaniards to unite in defending Spain and her possessions. All indications point that Spain will prefer to fight rather than yield. / A copy of the resolutions, accompanied by the President’s ultima­ tum was presented to the Spanish minister at Washington on Wednes­ day. He immediately demanded his passports, which were (riven him and he departed at once for Canada. Minister Woodford still sticks to his post at Madrid and will not leave until Spain replies to President McKinley’s demands. All the available troops of the regular army are now being massed in the south, ready for business in Cuba. A call for 80.0C3 volunteers will be made immediately upon the re­ ceipt of Spain’s reply, should it be, as is expected, a refusal to com­ ply to the demands of the United States. Every available vessel has been purchased for naval use and the U. S. navy is ready for action immediately upon receipt of orders. Spain’s navy has been concentrated at Cape Verde de Verde islands and is stripped and ready for the fray. It now seems impossible for hostilities to be avoided; and it looks as though the first blow would come inside the next few days. i n $ I I $ s I s THESE ARE THE RESOLUTIONS FINALLY PASSED BY BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS. li I I I < I Whereas, the abhorrent conditions which have existed for more than three years in the Island of Cuba, so ntar our own borders, have shocked the moral sense of the people of the United States, have been a disgrace to Christian civilization, culminating, as they have, in the destruction of a United States battleship, with two hundred and sixtysix of its officers and crew, while on a friendly visit in the harbor of Havana, and cannot longer be endured, as has been set forth by the president of the United States in his message to congress of April 11, 1808, upon which the action of congress was invited: therefore, Resolved, by the senate and house of representatives of the United States of America, in congress assembled: 1. That the people of the island of Cub^ are, and of right ought to be free and independent. 2. That it is the duty of the United States to demand. AND THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES HEREBY DOES DE­ MAND, that the government of Spain at once relinquish its authority and government in the island of Cuba and withdraw its land and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban waters. 3. That the president of the United States be and he hereby is directed and empowered to use the entire land and naval forces of the United States and to call into the actual service of the United States the militia of the several states to such extent as may be necessary to carry these resolutions into effect. 4. That the United States hereby disclaims any disposition or in- £ island, except for the pacification thereof, and asserts its determina- Z tion when that is accomplished to leave the government and control of the island to its people. < Albert Parrott of Battle Creek was struck by a Michigan Central train at Hamblen avenue crossing in that city Monday and so badly injured that he died inside of an hour. He was the father-of Charles Parrott, living west of this village. For some time past a certain Nash­ ville lady, who lives on the south side, has been planning to make a visit to old friends at a neighboring city, which was her girlhood home and where she has a large acquaint­ ance. As it has been some time since she has made a visit to her old home, she has been looking forward with most pleasurable anticipations to the time when she could start on her trip. Several times she had made prepara­ tions for her journey, and some un­ toward event would occur which would render it imperative that the trip be postponed. However, on last Mon­ day, as everything seemed propitious, she got ready to go and packed her grips and boxes ready to take the the morning train east Tuesday. With everything in nhip shape for the jour­ ney she,retired for the night, but she had become so nervous over the prep­ arations for her long contemplated trip that it was impossible for her to sleep soundly. She passed a restless night, and surprised her husband the next morning by declaring that she had decided not to go, because during her sleep of the night she had made her visit in her dreams, had seen all her friends that she particularly cared to see and thought that she would«not care to. go and see them again so soon. So she unpacked her belong­ ings and settled down again to her daily routine of duties, just as well satisfied as though she had actually made her journey in person instead of in spirit. Last Friday night Deputy Game Warden C. S. Weber made a business trip to Sobby lake and captured a trio of Sunfield fellows who were violating the law in regard to spearing on in­ land lakes. The case was immediately turned over to County Game Warden Corey, of Eaton county, who notified the gentlemen to appear at Charlotte Tuesday. The same evening Mr. Weber made a visit to- Carr lake, where he succeeded ''in gtAting the names of Wilburd Eastman and Bert Reisenburgh of Woodland and Wil­ lard Bawdy and son Homer, who live near the lake. Three of the gentle­ men put in an appearance before Jus­ tice Feighner Monday. and after ad­ mitting their guilt paid their fines, which ranged from three to five .dol­ lars each, and costa. Bertan Reisenburgh of Woodland, who failed to put in appearance, will be looked after later. A prominent business man of one of our neighboring towns was recently victimized by a bright and intelligent looking young man, who called at his store and selected an outfit of furniture, as he said he was going to get married. He gave a check in pay* ment and said he would order the goods delivered later. The check was presented at the bank and found worthless. When the young man called again he was told about the matter. He simulated great wrath and said: “Give me that check and I’ll make them- cash it*’. The merchant, forgetting that he had endorsed it, handed the check over, and the young man promptly cashed it at a hotel and disappeared. A prominent farmer of the village was much mystified the other day at milking time to find that two of his best cows had suddenly gone dry. He worked and worked, but not a drop of milk could he get. The mystery was explained a few moments later, how­ ever, when one of the cows laid down in a corner of the lot and a shoat im­ mediately ran up and went after the milk in nature’s way. The cows and shoats are now kept in seperate lots and the cows again furnish their ac­ customed quality of lacteal fluid. Willian H. Roe and Miss Jennie Jones were married at the home of the bride’s parents at Lacey Wednes­ day evening and the young people left the same evening for Middleville, where they will make their home. Only the near relatives and most in­ timate friends of the bride and groom were present.

A Naahville man was taken with cramps a few days ago while assisting his wife to lay a carpet, and his agony was so great that it was feared he would not recover. A great many men are imprudent, if not exceedingly reckless about engaging In violent ex­ ercise of this nature and as the spring house-cleaning time is now here they should pay heed to the above warnings and if they indulge at all in such injurious exercise should do so with extreme moderation.

BUSINESS IB WAITING. No sign of them could be seen. Trade, Though Still Enormous in Vol-/ trade takes the following view of tbe sit­ uation: “The meaning of Congress re­ garding Spain fa not in doubt, but the form of declaration at this hour Is in sjuestion. The President’s message has lsn-u accepted as a strong statement of the situation, and the question in Con­ gress is whether it will without change adopt his proposal. Preparations for war continue as if It were inevitable.

Hyatt, the United States consul at Santiago de Cuba, left that port under Instructions for Port An­ tonio, Jamaica, a mob of Spaniards made a. demonstration before the consulate and threw tomatoes, eggs and stones at the Stars and Stripes floating over the con­ sulate.

The mob wns dispers­ ed by the police. The instructions’from Washington, through United States Con­ sul Dent, for the withdrawal of the Unit­ ed States consuls at Cienfuegoa and San­ tiago de Cuba, were translated by the Jamaican authorities into the British Government cipher and were thus sent to the British consuls at Cienfuegos and San­ tiago de Cuba, who conveyed the meaning of the messages to the United States con­ suls. Mr. Hyatt, at Santiago de Cuba, doubted tbe authority of Consul Dent in the matter and held the steamer Brook line for nine hour* so as to be able to cable Washington on the subject In reply he received by cable the word “go," and Mr. Hyatt obeyed his instructions. Mr. Hyatt left the United States consul­ ate at Santiago de Cuba full of provisions intended for the reconcentrados. and the British consul at that port. F. W.

The N’hla-Kapmuh Indians Of the Interior of British Columbia have aweathouses and indulge in a treat somewhat similar to our Turkish bath. By the side of streams of melted snow, at some distance from the vil­ lage, among the pines niui tira, are two curious structures. Ono Is made of small poles set up like tbe roof of a house. These are covered with fir boughs, ana finally wlth'earth. the door, facing the setting sun. has a blanket hanging over It. Within, on the south side, is a circular hole (In the ground) about two feet in diameter and one foot deep, filled with burned and crackled stones. The remainder of tlw floor la covered deep with a soft bed of flr twigs. In front of the door one will tee traces of a good-slxed fire, and many stones, both those that have been burn­ ed ant! blackened In the fire and those brought near, but still unused. This Is the men’s sweathouse, or part of the bathing outfit of the village. The other structure Is similar to this in essentials, but at this particular village It is not covered with sol). It is roofed with blanket mat* or skins when in use. This is the sweothouse for the women. When the N’hla-Kapmuh wants to take a bath he builds a fire and heats a number of stones.

They stood at least nine feet high, and had short wings, claws Ilk« an eagle’s and a beak like a condor's.

Ethnoli-gy or Kissing. The kiss was unknown among the aboriginal tribes of America and of Central Africa. From the most ancient times, however, it has Deen familiar to the Asiatic and European races. The Imtins divided it into three forms—the osculum, the baslum and the suavlolum—the first being tbe kiss of friend­ ship and respect, the second of cere­ mony and the third of lore. The Sem­ ites always employed the kiss, and Job speaks of it as part of their sacred rites, a« it is to-day in the Roman Catholic Church. The Mongolian kiss is not the same as that which prevails with us. In It the lips do not.come Into actual contact with those of the person kissed. The nose is brought into light contact with the cheek, forehead or hand; the breath is drawn slowly through the nostrils, and the act ends with a slight smack ot the lips. The Chinese consider our mode of kissing most detestable. We on our part regard their method with equal disdain. rmrwln and <Xher naturalists hove attempted to trace back the kiss to the act of the lower animals who seize their prey with their teeth.

Mr. Hamilton has prepared a short eulogy that is different from almost anything beiore presented on a similar occasion, and is a model in its short and clear cut paragraphs, its terse sentences and its manly sentiments, which will necessarily stamp it as a remarkable effort of its kind. In some way the sergeantat-arms learned that Representative Hamilton .had for years been a leader of campaign glee clubs before he became a congrcessman, and so asked him to be ready to lead off in singing “America.” as soon as the house disposed of the Cuban resolu­ tions early this morning. Mr. Ham­ ilton complied, and joined by a hun­ dred oilier members, they sang dur­ ing the long night wait, such familiar sones as “America,” “Star Spang­ led Banner,'' “Down in Dixie,” “Marching Through Georgia,” and others. The latter was paraphrased to “Marching Through Cuba.” and was the popular song of the evening.

The womb is situated back of and very close to the bladder, and. for that reason any distress, disease or incon­ venience manifested in the kidneys, back, bladder or urinary passage is often, by mistake, attributed to female weakness or womb trouble of some sort.

Meantime Wriothesley had stepped in­ to a hansom, and was being driven to­ ward Mrs. Scarlett's town-house. All the way thither memories were thronging thickly upon him. audit was with n sigh of absolute relief that he got out of the cab and went into the hall. He would get over it soon, the visit which he felt it necessary to make, if only to explain to himself and her what terms they should be on for the future. The old love was dead—he felt unspeakably thankful for that—it now remained to see whether friendship could take its place. He went up the thickly carpeted «taircase, noting as he went all the old land­ marks. The same statue of Venice stood in the same corner; the rose-shaded lamps that used to shed such a tender glow on the passer-by stood out from the walls. There was the hush, the quiet, the air of expectancy, the warm scented breath of flower*. He thought it just now a little oppressive. Then the door of her bou­ doir was flung open wide, and a second later he found himself iu her presence. Mrs. Scarlett' rose as he entered and advanced ar little to welcome him. “You have come at last," said she. with the softest, the most flattering touch of reproach. “I have waited for you until I believed yon almost false—but’’—with a little swift, fond smile—“but not quite!" "I am sorry If 1 have kept you wait­ ing," said hr, more gravely than the oc­ casion required. He was feeling the sit­ uation keenly, and his manner, in spite of himself, was strained. "I intended to be earlier, but I eOuld not manage it" x*Hsd to find an opportunity!" thought she, exultingly. The little touch of in­ trigue delighted her; she felt quite elated, and her eyes gleamed as she turned them on him. “An apology to a real friend is the unfrien^liest thing I know,” she said, with a. charming glance, 4 "Relieve me. I forgiv^ you without explanation. That"— with a sudden sad lowering of her head— “is more than you coiild honestly say with regard to me.”, . “You are wrong: that is what princi­ pally brought me here to-day—to tell you that I entirely—honestly, as you say—for­ give you all the past." Mrs. Scarlett moved a little into the shadow and bit her lips sharply. She hardly likes this generous condonement of her offense. She would have preferred the old anger, the unmeasured scorn. As a rule, when one forgives, it means thnt one has censed to care. “How good you are!" she said, very softly; “though, if you knew all, there might not perhaps be so much left to par­ don. But, as you don’t know, it is in­ deed good of you. Fulke, if I dared ex­ plain----- ’’ “I think it will be better not," said he, steadily: “no good ever yet came of ex­ planations such ns that. Let the dead past bury its dead. The present may contain other things—that I have you as a friend, for instance.” ‘T am always your friend,” said she, gently, though a little glitter had come into her eyes. “Whether you are mine is the question.” “My dear Mrs. Scarlett, surely a very unnecessary one!" She startly visibly as be addressed her by her surname. “Is It to lie ‘Leonie’ no longer, then T* she asked. “I think”—slowly—“it will be better not" “And you—are you to be ‘Lord Wri­ othesley’ to me in the future?” “I think that, too, will be wise." re­ plied he. in the same measured tone. Mrs. Scarlett accepted her defeat with a courage that did her credit. Not a glance, not a movement betrayed her. Perhaps she bad caught at that word “wise." and saw light through it. “Wisdom! That cold thing!" she said, with a low laugh. "But. if it is bettersafer—so be it then. Don’t stand so far over there—you will be frown. Come nearer to the fire.” ’ “Do you remain long in town?” he asked. “A day or two only. Then we all go down to Verulam Court." “Indeed! Aud whom do you mean by “The usual set, with an addition here and there thrown in to prevent our wearying one of the either. I am going, and the Moinwarings. and Sir George and Mrs. Verulam—you know there is nn old affair there—aud Mr. Savage and your wife—but of course you know that!" —with a malicious emphasis—“and the Damerons and a few others. You are going top, I presume?” “I have not been asked.” * “But you will be, naturally.” “I do not think 1 shall go even then.” “I should if I were you. It amounts almost tn a duty. You have ix'-en so very long separated fiom your wife, and Lady Wriothesley is so young and so singularly thoughtless.” "Lady Wriothesley should be grateful for the interest you take in her," he said, stiffly. "1 take none. The interest I feel is ail centered in yoh. 8 he is your wife, Wri­ othesley; and I shall always feel the keen­ est interest in you and your honor.” CHAPTER XVIII. The following week they all went down to Verulam. Hard and cold weather fol­ lowed on their arrival—deadly, biting win­ try weather. The sportsmen of the party had an excellent time of it for the first four days; but on the fifth they camo down-stairs to find a white world outside the windows, and the snow descending with a soft vigor that threatened to im­ prison them should it continue. Tbe children—Lulu Verulam and her cousins. Lady Lucy’s younger boys—were enchanted, and rushed about from room to room to see how high upon each win­ dow-sill the lovely snow was mounting. Lady Lucy, who had a Christma^tree on hand for the poor of the parish, waa not sorry for a day that kept al! in-doors, and towafd the afternoon marshaled the entire force of guests. into the library, an immense room where two enormous fires roared, and het them to the dressing of dolls’nnd such like innoceii-t amusements. “Well, you have all done so wonder­ fully well, been so strictly Industrious, that I think you deserve a cup of ten,” said Lady Lucy, when the time for that refreshment arrived. The men had brought In the tea a few minutes before, with the tiny steaming cakes on their brass tripods. A short spell of idleness followed; down went the needles, off went tbe thimbles: each fair worker threw-up her head and sighed profoundly, as though worn out by labor severe and prolonged. Mrs. Scarlett put aside her work for good and ’all. and carried off her ten and Lord Wriothesley to the distant erfd of the con­ servatory, and there kept them. All tbe world had seen him go; no one knew why he went—it was willingly, nt all events, and, for the matter of that. It was easy to guess the attraction, too. Not onA there but remembered his old infatnution for her; and so they all kept the conversa­ tional ball relling with n kindly desire to prove to his wife that they saw nothing of what wns going on in the conserva­ tory. It wns impossible, however, not to see. Mrs. Scarlett was talking in n very im­ pressive manner, and Wriothesley was listening with evident interest. Mrs. Ver­ plum's heart grew hot within her with wrnth suppressed, and Nigel Savage, with a quick in-drawing of bis breath, looked at Marvel. He had honestly tried to keep away from her all this past week; he had seen her avoidance of him—an avoidance which distressed her, and which she tried to atofic for by kind and friendly glances thrown to him now and then: hut it hud hurt him, nevertheless, and he had rather helped her to a continuance of it than songhli to overcome it. "That fellow is in love with her!" said Wriothesley. He faced Mrs. Verulam as he spoke, and looked at her with a frowning brow, as though daring her to deny it. He made bis way, on the morning after the idealized Dorcas meeting; to the pret­ ty private room always set apart for Cicely on her visits to her sister-in-law, and now stood glowering at her from the admirable elevation of six feet one. Glow­ ering, however, had never very much ef­ fect upon Mrs. Verulam; and on this day, ns administered by Wriothesley, it gave her only n meek joy. “What fellow?" she asked, wrinkling her pretty brows as if in perplexity, ‘•You know—Savage.” "db!”—long drawn out. “That of course." “Why of course?’’—hotly. "Because she is so charming'’—coldly. “If you go into it, I could name you nt least three or four others who would toonly too happy to lay themselves and their very considerable fortunes at her feet to­ morrow.? "You talk of her as though she were an unmarried girl!” “That is how they talk of her. too. You see, shq/was so little married! She was in evidence, if you like; but where were you ?” "I was in South America"—stiffly, giv­ ing a direct answer, as if to show he scorned apology. “Quite so." said she. cheerfully. “And they knew it, most of them; they quite clung to that knowledge. Your coming home was a terrible blow, as unexpected as it was undetdred." "By her?” • "We are talking of those foolish people who have lost their hearts to her—if in­ deed men have bearts," said she, with a Jittle shrug. "I assure you your return was a distinct offense; you should have surrendered yourself to a grizzly over there—wherever you were—in thnt de­ lightfully inthralling place thnt kept you frowher for nearly two years." “You think then that I am in her way?” . “1 think there ore men who would treat her better than you have done." “You are at all events very plainspoken—a charm no doubt, but an unpal­ atable one. I do not quarrel with you about that, however—it would be useless. I can sec your sympathies are enlisted on my wife’s side." “Your what? Oh. Marvel! Positively one is so unaccustomed to think of her ns a woman with a husband that I hardly understand.” “You hare grown bitter. Cicely—a gain on which I can scarcely congratulate you. Of course, as I bare said, you have adopt­ ed Marvel's cause; and 1 cannot hope for a fair hearing from you. Yun believe me altogether to blame in this matter that lies—thnt at least should He—iietween ber and me alone. Yet you should remember in all common honesty that it was she who first tired of me." “Nonsense! 1 suppose you didn't imag­ ine she wa* going to stay with you to watch you day after day moping and sulk­ ing. and regretting another woman ev­ ery hour of your existence? Allow torr some little spirit.” "She is hardly deficient in that fine, I think," said he, with a sneer that enraged her companion. “She is the gentlest cgpature alive, and the most lovable. If you cannot see that, I pity you, but her more. Wba: would you have—an angel? Rhe is almoat that. I believe. Would any one but ber have received you with the exquisite forgivethat she showed?” “Forgiveness? Why. she has treated me ever since as though I were the dust beneath her feet! Call that forgiveness?" "You are not able to appreciate her be­ cause she is too good for you; I would have you take care, however—other peo­ ple can.” ■ She grew quite terrible in her denundatioh of him, in this bint that drove him to deeper anger than he al­ ready felt “To talk like that!” he said. “ ’Tis a simple thing—any one eonhl do it: but then- to always the other side to be con­ sidered. And I—have I nothing to lorgive?" “Nothing thnt I know of. 1 wonder you can even pretend to it," said she, scornfully. She turned mon* directly to1 ward him, and raised indignant eyes "to < hto. “Yon ought to lie ashamed ot your­ self!" she said. “I really do think you might give up that old flirtation." “What do you mean by that?*' he ask­ ed, quietly. “As you remarked a moment since, I am plain-spoken. What I mean, then, is your moat ill-advtoed flirtation with Mrs. Scarlett." "Pshaw!" he said. “I thought you elevrr enough to see that thnt old affair to over and done with. If I did love her once/I have lived to wonder at It." CHAPTER XIX. “Why not send back the carriages and let us walk home through the woods?” said Savage, with'some animation, ad­ dressing Mrs. Dameron. “I should think we've got al! the birds we are likelj* to get to-day.” “Yea. Cover’s used np,” said Lord Ve­ rulam, in bis lazy way. The snow tbnt fell during the previous week was now almost forgotten; it ceased ns suddenly as it began; sharp rains foltewed, and they in turn gave place to a severe bat wholesome frost that left tbe ground as hard as iron. All the men of tbe party had been out since dawn shooting one of th'e borne covers, and nt 2 o’clock had been joined by tbe gentler members, who had driven to a keeper's lodge, armed with numerates baskets and hampers wherewith to allay the lutnga of hunger of the mighty hunt­ ers. “Charming evening for a walk," said Mr. Kitts, brightening visibly under Sav­ age's Suggestion. “Lady Lucy, bend our list of patrons and our procession, too, through the melancholy twilight of the lonely wood.” They all paired off presently, except Murrel, unfortunately, who had stayed to say a word or two to Lady Lucy and • help tbe children into the carriage, the youngest of whom had conceived a vio­ lent fancy for her, and could be Induced to enter the waiting laudau only through n mistaken and carefully fostered Idea thnt she wns to enter it with him. When this latest of ber devoted adherents was safely locked up, she turned to find that all the others of the party had already started ahead, and that Nigel Savage atone remained to accompany her. She Unshed visibly; and Savage at once came to the conclusion that she wa* annoyed at being thus irremediably thrown upon bis hands. He wns wrong, however. ,She gave him no thought, all her girlish, jeal­ ous heart being oppressed with the fear thnt Wriothesley was with Mrs. Scarlett. She caught Savage’s eye and smiled kind­ ly'nt him. “We shall have to run,” she said, point­ ing to the group fast disappearing round a comer in the distance, "if we menu to catch them up. If we don’t, we shall prob­ ably lose ourselves, like the ‘Babes in the Wood,’ as neither uf us knows much about the eputitry here.” “We are too near home to get very much lost," said be; “and, as long as they give up h lead, even nt so great n dis­ tance. wP shall at all events be sure to come in at Inst. If only ns n bad third.” ‘ When they reached the corner, how­ ever, there wns no sign of tbe others. Two paths lay before them, one running n lit­ tle to the toft, where Verulam ought to have laiu; and in both there was aTrnnrp bend a good deal further on which would have hidden the advance party if they had gained it. Savage stood -still and looked perplexed. “Rapid people!” he said at Inst, with a rather amused laugh. “I think they might nt least hare given us a passing thought." “This must be the path,” said Marvel, pointing to the left. “I am sure Veru­ lam lies over there." Then ran across the grass, and pres­ ently found themselves opposite to a worm-eaten old door studded with huge iron nails and with a rusty key in the lock. After using considerable force, this key wns induced to turn; tto door open­ ed with astonishing suddenness, as if loose an its binges, and they stepped inside a dark passage that smelled of moldering leaves and the dust of centuries gone by. It was very dnrk. No lifcht came from any ground-floor windows, for the simple reason that there were none; but a faint ray or two stole down the circular stair­ case that led to a chamber above lighted by some tong narrow openings in the walls barely wide enough to let a man’s body slip sideways through them. “Isn't it funny?” said Marvel, who was plainly dellighted with it. “I wonder what to upstairs.” She ran lightly up the worn stone steps and stood at tbe top looking around her in the uncertain light. It was a semi-circu­ lar apartment, with a stone floor and a huge wide fireplace facing the’stairs. It was n small hall rather than n room, os there was no door to It, and only a broken, rudely formed -parapet ran from the top of the stairs to tbe wall behind to pre­ vent the unwary from falling over into the abyss beneath. “One feels as though one had just step­ ped into another age," said Marvel, look­ ing eagerly round her. “A dark one." said Savage. “What a shame to take no notice of so interesting a place! A very little thought and trouble would transform it into something unique. An oak chair there, a table here, a roaring fire, n----- " "A few window-panes,” suggested Sav­ age. “Tut—you are too prosaic! Well, in the summer then! Could you fancy a cooler—a more calm retreat? Not a fly to ag­ gravate one, not n sound to disturb----- " At that moment there came a sound from below loud enough to wake tbe Seven Sk-«>iicni. It was an absolute bang that aerated to shake the tower to Sts foundations, and made both its occupants start. “Ku much for your calm retreat?’ said Savage, with a rather nervous laugh—he had good reason to feel nervous! “What was that?" exclaimed Marvel. “Sounded like n door, didn’t it?” said he. with n carefully careless air. When he got below hr found bis worst fears confirmed. The heavy old-door had swung back, obedient to some gnat of wind, and. shutting with considerable force, had shot the lock into its place. The key was on the outside, and there was therefore no earthly means of getting out of this unlucky tower, unless by chaiur some passer-by might cqpje that way. And what a chance waa that! Sav­ age felt tbe blood mount to bis brow aa be noted how the dying day was already dead, and that tbe coming darkness was even now beginning to cover all the land. Good heavens, what was to be done? “Well,” cried the clear, sweet voice above, “are you going to spend the rest of our short time below there? See— here is such n cupboard!" He mounted the step* very slowly. He knew he was afraid to tell her; yet it had to be dune. “finch a delicious little hiding-hole!” cried she. standing near the tiny recess she had discovered in the wall. “Just large enough to hold n few choice cups and saucers, and—Ob, by the bye, talk* ing of cups. I expect we shall lose our tea if we don't make haste! Come—let, us go!" ’ “Well, that’s just it," said he, slowly, his eyes fixed on the ground, his manner really wonderfully unconcerned. “Tho fact is, we can't!” "What!" “That solid old oak door you admired ao much a few minutes ago has played us a rather unkind trick. It has shut itself up so tight that, like .Sterne's starling, we can’t get out.” “Oh, it can’t be true!” she said, hastily. “There must bo some way of inducing it to open. A sudden shake may do it. Did you try?" “I did, with all my might; but nothing came of it.” A shrill wind wns rising. Now, in its babyhood, it merely sighed among the trees, but it gave brave promise of a strength in age. Savage, leaning against the wall near one of the openings, looked out gloomily into the growinr night, and tried in vain to think of something light, casual, to say which would persuade her that he at least was under nu apprehen­ sion. “What o’clock is It now?" risked she, after a pause that to him had seemed ap eternity. “I cun hardly see," he said, taking out his watch and pretending to examine it by a light now almost gone. “About half-past four I make it. Quite early yet, ns I have said." "It to five," said she, very gently. She, too, had a watch, and was looking at it, ns he found to hto dismay. “Oh, Nigel, do you think it will be very much longer before any one comes?" ‘‘Why. any second may bring some one!" said he, brightly, stretching hto head out of the opening beside him, as If it were quite a sure thing that peasants would be walking about the wood in the cold, chilly evening, and that he might as well therefore be on the lookout to hail them.

Other, Believe McKinley Master of the Spanish SituationChief Execntire Leaves Matter with He Stands Ready, to Fulfill the Ob­ ligations Imposed Upon Him by the Constitution—Failure to Demand In- to Some— Radical Republicans and Action to Oust Spain—All Agree that Cuban War Must Stop. President McKinley sent his long-await­ ed Cuban message to Congress promptly at noon Monday. The message asks Congress to au­ thorize the President to take meas­ ures to secure, termination ot hos­ tilities in Cuba aud to secure the ostablishment of a stable govern­ ment there nnd to use ttfc military and naval forces of the United States as may be necessary for those purposes. The President Prominent personage*rfrom all over the Union were pointed out here and there. Tbe diplomatic gallery was filled with members of the diplomatic corps, with their ladle*, eager to see bow Congress would receive the situation as left by diplomacy. Tbe executive gallery, save for the first row of seats, was’ also filled by ladies and gmtlemcn holding tickets from the White Bonne. The scone was memorable as the rye awept the banked galleries and the animated group of mem­ . bees on tbe flo*Vr below, but there waa les* hubbub and evidence of excitement than there was Wednesday. Iu subdued tones everybody wns discussing the latest phase of the situation. The general public, a* manifested by the spirit of the galleries, seemed in favor ot bruabing aside the lat­ est offer of Spain, and this feeling was reflected by some members on the floor, but the conservatives circulating here and there were counseling calmness and pa-, tience. *■ There wna nn anxious hush of expect­ ancy in the crowded galleries when the President's messenger appeared with the nn-ssage. The reading of the message oc­ cupied nearly fifty minutes in the Senate, and when it wns concluded the paper was referred to tbe Committee ou Foreign Re­ lations. In the House the message waa received with silence on the floor and in the galleries. When the members saw Major Pruden nt the door with the anx­ iously awaited communication from the President, further proceedings wbre sus­ pended by unanimous consent while its contents were read to the .House. The message of the President wna not received with enthusiasm in Congress. It would be n misrepresentation of the facts to say that it was. When read in the two houses the Senators and Repre­ sentatives listened with intense interest. They fully realized the gravity of the hour.

Spain’s decree for a suspension of hostilities is submitted to Congress for just ami careful at­ tention. with the observation that if tbe measure attains a successful re­ sult "then our aspirations as a peace-coring (x-op'.f will be realized. If it fails, it will be only another justification for our ‘contemplated action.’’ The Maine incident figures prominently in the uuwsage. Tbe President argues that the wreck of the Maine iu Havana barter shows that Spain is not able to guarantee security to foreign vessels. Spain has disavowed any connection with that disaster and has offered to sub­ mit to arbitration all the difference* which may arise from that affair. Undaunted by the disappointment of Wednesday, the multitude again besieged tbe capitol Monday morning before the utxicrstfMM] that dixsatiafnetion existed with the Present'* recommendations. S|>eakcr Rvetl;diapoiK*d of tbe message by announcing that it was ordered printed and referred to tbe Committee on For­ eign Relations./ Senators ami Representatives did not hesitate to criticise the plan of the Presi­ dent to intervene. Many Congnumen think that the recommendation* are too mild. They fuvur armed intervention, but they want it to occur nt once. The n>e«uge made converts to the radical ac­ tion by Senator Foraker. Many­ favored going further than this and want­ ed to rvfMirt a declaration of war. It has been announced again nnd again that the President hud rei>entedkr de­ manded the inde|>cndence of Cuba frqm 81*in. and it is pointed out that no refer­ ence to this most important of all points ia mode in the message. The Presi­ dent's silence on this subject is construed as nu admission that he has not made that demand, but ha* been discumdug auton­ omy instead. The jMssage in the message in which tiie Maine affair is considered is the one mot freely criticised. None of the CongresHmeu hesitated to express their views ou this phase of the matter and not a few were very outspoken. They claimed that what tfi’e country demands i« reparation fur the lusnlt to the flag and the murder of onr citizen*. They say that thia is the bume. Perlisjw if the President had talked a little more about the independence of Cuba the Congressmen would have been better satisfied with hi* recommendations. The couriuaion of bis message leave* the future policy of the Government for them to decide, and the President, after con­ fessing that he has “exhausted every ef­ fort to relieve the intolerable condition of tern! to execute every obligation imposed upon me by the constitution and the law, erty to reject the message and tbe Presi­ dent’s recommendation* and go as far as it likes toward war.

The puuluiudv suffered, however. Tbs space John Montgomery waa killed by an eu- Federal Troops trt United HUites Concentrated at Chick- Gewral order* were issued from the War Department late Friday afternoon directing tbe immediate movement of nearly tbe whole standing army to the Department ot the Gulf. The orders ap­ plied to every regiment of regulars in the country, except the Fourth, Fifth, Sev­ enth and Eighth Cavalry, and the Four­ teenth infantry stationed iu Alaska, and such heavy artillery as are on duty at the several fortifications of tbe seaboard. Since the civil war no such proportion of the anuy has been mobilised, and the movement itself was the best evidence of tbe gravity of tbe situation, as looked upon by the president and his advisers. The determination to rendexvous the troops in the South, where they can be acclimated to the conditions of a more tropical climate, and be within striking distance of Cuba, has been under consid­ eration by tbe President and his cabinet for some time. It was until Friday, however, that the President, in view of the enormous expense which would be entailed, felt justified in taking this step. When Secretary Alger returned from the cabinet meeting he at once called into conference Gen. Mile* and AdjL-Gen. Corbin, and acquainted them with tbe re­ sult of tbe cabinet’s dclireratious. There were hurried consultations, in which the quartermaster-general, who has charge of the transportation of the troops; the com­ missary general, who looks after their subsistence, aud representatives in Wash­ ington ' of various railroads running to tbe/louth participated. Tbe orders as finally given directed the movements of troops to the places indi­ cated us follows: To Chickamauga battlefield: The 1st, 2d, 3d, Oth, Oth and 10th regiments of cav­ alry aud the light batteries of five regi­ ments of artillery. To New Orleans: The 1st. 7th, 8th. 12th, 10th, 18th, 23d and 24th regiments of infantry. To Mobile: Tho 2d. 3d, 10th, 11th, 10th, 20th and 22d regiments of infantry. To Tampa: The 4th, 5th. Otb, 9th, 13th, 17th and 21st regiments of infantry. The department has an distributed the twenty-two regiments of infantry at con­ venient places on the gulf thnt they will be accessible for trausportation to Cuba. At Chickamauga there will be six regi­ ments of cavalry and the light batteries of five regiments of artillery, nt Neu- Or­ leans eight regiments of infantry, at Tam­ pa seven regiments of infantry and at Mobile seven regiments of infantry. , TO RAISE FUNDS. War Revenue. The Ways and Means Committee agreed upon a plan tor raining revenue in case of need, to carry on war with Spain. Tbe plan will raiseinore than$100,000,000 additional revenue annually, and ia thus distributed: An additional tax on beer of $1 a bar­ rel. estimated to yield $35,000,000; a bank stamp tax. on the lines of the law of ISGiJ, estimated to yield $30,000,-000; a duty of 3 cents a pound on coffee nnd 10 cents n pound on tea. and a like amount of internal tax on atocks of coff^- ami tea on hand iu the United States, estimated tn yield $2S,000,00(>; additional tax an to­ te evo. expected to yield $15,000,000. The cunnnittee also agreed to authorize the issuing of $500,000,000 tends. These tends are to be offered for sale at all post­ offices in the United States in amounts of $50 each, making n great ;>opular loan to be absorbed by the |>eople. To tide.over emvrgruciea, tbe Secretary of the Treasury will be authorized to is­ sue treasury certificate*. These certifi­ cates or debentures are to be used to pay running expenses when the revenues do not meet the expenditures. These prepa rat laps are distinctly war measures and would urpirt^n ofteration only should war occur. FORTY-EIGHT VESSELS BOUGHT •9,000,000 in This Direction. Since tbe war prejmrations were begun, forty-eight vessels of all type* nnd classes have been added to the naval strength. They range from tiny hnrbor defense tor­ pedo-boats to the fast cruisers New Or­ leans and Albany, aud include Mean yachts, ocean-going tugs, colliers, an am­ bulance ship, auxiliary cruisers, the ves­ sels of the revenue-cutter service, and the lighthouse tenders, which have lately been impressed. Of tbe total number of vessels now subject to the orders of tbe Navy Department, about thirty have been purchased outright by the government, either nt home or in Europe, ami only about one-fifth of them are yet in'condi­ tion for service with the regular war’ves­ sel*. The amount paid for these vessels bus uot been announced. but approximate­ ly it is understood that the newly pur­ chased vessels have cost the navy so far nearly $9,009,000, of which one-third wns paid for the ships bought abroad. Secretary Long Thursday morning le­ aned tbe first war order, which was to tbe effect that the bureau of navigation, until further orders, should give out no information touching the movements of vessels, etc. A circular letter was sent to nil tbe clerks in the department forbid­ ding them to talk to untsideni or give any information to ncwsfiftper men.

The United States Senate at 9 o’clock Saturday night, after thirty-five boars consumed in talk, adopted tbe Cuban res­ olution reported from tbe foreign rela­ tions committee, with the minority amendment reported by Senator Turpie. It wns a composite resolution, containing as it did the Senate preamble, the House enactment clause, the Senate majority resolutions with the incorporation of the Turpie amendment for recognition, and having added to it the Davis declaration of intentions. This makes tbe Senate resolution al­ most identical with the resolution intro­ duced by Senator Foraker of Ohio. It declares that the people of Cuba are and ought to be free: recognizes the Cuban republic as the legitimate government of Cuba; demands thnt Spain shall with­ draw from the island, and authorizes and directs the President to intervene and employ the land aud naval forces of this government to carry these declarations in­ to effect. “Free Cuba and the independence of the island republic’* wns the shibboleth of the Senate throughout tbe four days of debate which ended Saturday night. The^ contest was between those who favored recognition and those who opposed recog­ nition and wanted only intervention. Recognition won by a majority of four­ teen. All day long the battle waged with ear­ nestness, energy, ability, aud eloquence seldom equaled even in tbe Senate of tbe United State's. From 10 o’clock in the morning until the moment of the final vote the intensity of the interest did not abate for an instant. Under tbe agree­ ment limiting the duration of the speech­ es, except in specified instances, to fif­ teen rninntes, every Senator who so de­ sired had ah opportunity to express hi* views. No leas than twenty-five Senators addressed themselves to the momentous question under consideration during the day, and while, under the rule, elaborate arguments were impossible tbe s;»eechra were characterised by. an impassioned force and eloquence rarely henrd in or out of the hails of the American Congress. It was not until the first vote—that on the amendment of Mr. Turpie of Indiana providing Tor recognition of the island re­ public—had been taken that the Senate w*a brought face to fare with the tre­ mendous importance of its action. The scene in the chamber of pinny his­ toric debates wns one of incomparable solemnity and impressiveness. The gal­ leries, which hnd been filled aptmrently to their ntiuont capacity throughout the day, were massed with brilliantly attirei womesi and men distinguished in all walks of public and private life. It ia do detraction from the brilliance of the debate of the day to note thnt the great—the notable—utterances of the dos­ ing hours of debate were made nt night. Mr. Ilnlcof Maine, Mr. Gorman of Maryladu, Mr. Allison of Iowa. Mr. Aldrich of Rhode Island. Mr. Jones of Arkansas, nnd Mr. Hoar of Massachusetts, al! deep­ ly Impressed by the juagultude and possi­ ble av-ful consequence* of the step nbont to be taken, addressed the Senate with an eloquence and solemnity born only of the most profound freling for their country’s welfare. As the words fell from their Illis the chamber thrilled with an iutensMy of interest which bordered upon awe. The test vote quite naturally wns on the amendment offered by Mr. Turpie recog­ nizing the independence of the Cubau re­ public. It prevailed by a majority of 14. the vote bring 51 to 37.

Don't mag­ nify and herald as widely as is in your power evils wfiich you imagine to exist or which possibly do exist. That man is a detriment and his re­ moval would only be appreciated by his fellow citizens who is never con­ tented, who declares his town is worse than any of those surrounding, who never speaks encouragingly of anything.

Good Growth nnd Development Over The past week was marked by rt mperatures but slightly differirg from the nor­ mal, ut the lieginnlug of the im rather below nnd later rather above. Rainfall was received quite generally throughout the Ohio valley, but not enough to incon­ venience farming operations. No radical change marks the wheat situation except in California, where every day without ample rainfall in the San Jonquil* valley appreciably diminishes the crop pcssibHities of the State. East of the Rocky Mountains the actual changes in the situation hove been small. Wherever there are any reports of pres­ ent accruing damage they represent but very small areas, nnd are of link* conse­ quence when the field is viewed at large. A few low bottoms flooded in llty valleys of the Ohio trihutarira, ami an occasional complniul of lack of moisture in south­ ern Kansas nnd in Texas make up the sum vf complaint. Against this then* ba* l>een continued growth and development over almost the whole area, so that the.^ wonderful improvement which was noted during the mouth of March bn« Is-.-n con­ tinued in a less mnrkcil degree during April tip to date. Two weeks rfgu there was a little talk of i»luwiiig up some fields hr Ohio, not because of any winter kill­ ing. but liecause the crop was uupndltably thiu on the ground from failure to germinate. Recent moist, growing weath­ er has practically put a stop to this talk, and with the exception of small areas, where there was no germination at all, it may be said that there will be almost no plowing up of wheat fields. ’ Seeding of spring wheat is progressing rapidly under circuimrtances almost uni­ formly favorat'le. In thl* respect the srmft>u is remarkably early, aud seeding is now being prosecuted in tbe more north­ ern portion of the belt at least a month in advance of last year. Over the whole dis­ trict the ground is working w*41. soft aud friable, and with no rains to interfere with the work. Ax far north a* southern Minnesota and Houth Dakota the balk seeded la limited only by the desires of growers. There are districts in southern Mteuewta and in I<»wn wtrieb a dozen in whieh since that time the crop has dwindled down to nothing, wb^re the acreage seeded this spring will make wheat tbe dominant crop this year.

Like thunder It relied among tbe hill*, sweeping with an eager fnry the old tower wherein they sat Bpect fairs*, expectant.

Minute followed minute, until all tbe wear? mass ot them grew into an hour. Savage sprang to hto feet, and began to walk feverishly up and down. The open agitation be thus betrayed commu­ nicated itself to her. Sbe roused bevself from the lethargy into which she had ap­ parently fallen, and in her turn rose to her fret. “Nigel.” sbe said, in a piercing voice, “where are you? I can't see you.” _ She held out her hands to him. “Oh, Nigel, what is to be done? Dear, dear Nigel, think of something!” He went to her and caught her bands. “Above all things, don’t give way,” be aaltk “After all. what to it bat an acci­ dent—a mere fiasco that a word or two will set right? You are trembling! Sit down again, and let us think what to best to be done." She sat down, as be had told her to do, shrinking back out of the ken of his eyea so that.be might not see bet, and began to ery silently, but in a deplorable man­ ner. Savage soon woke to the fact that •he wns in tears, and despair took pos•efaaior. of him. "Don’t do that!” he said, roughly, but with such n passion of regret in hto voice that tbe roughness went for nothing. "There isn't a single thing to be gained by it; and—Marvel, don’t cry! I’’—an­ grily—”1 can’t stand It! Come—be sensi­ ble, nbd listen to whgt I am going to say!” She roused herself somewhat, and lean­ ed toward him with an eager expectancy that touched him. * “If they find out you were here alone." he went on, “nothing can be said.” He paused; and, as she still remained silent, he believed she did not understand. “By •they’ I mean the women—Mrs. Scarlett are you listening?—suppose I were to drop from that opening there”—pointing to the split in the thick wall nearest to her—"I might reach the ground beneath without much Injury to life or limb—so little in­ jury indeed that I might even be able to get round'to tbe door, open it, and set you free. And. at all events, even If I failed in that lost hope, no one could say a word to you if I were out of the way.” “If you were killed, you mean! I may be a coward.” said she, quietly, “but I am not so altogether craven that I would purchase my immunity from scandal with your life.” He could not sec her dear face because of the blackness of the night that now had fallen upon them in its might, but he could guess tbe generous •corn that marked it. A hand touched her in tbe darkness, two lipa were pressed upon it. She felt by the intensity of tbe pressure that it was a fareweil; but she seemed hardly to can* enough for anything to demand an explanation. Through the opening in the wall near her a ray of sullen moon­ light entered which enabled her to see Nigel walk across the room to the window at tbe other side. It was plain that he bpd st last decided on dropping from the window. She knew that a lingering death won!d be the reanlt of this, and, rising quickly from her aeat. she went to him. “You will kill yourself, and it will be of ed,” said he. lying. “It will be no good. I tell you.” Mid she, in tbe same low, calm, hopeless tone. “They would not believe. No; risk noth- misfortune—1 must fulfill my destiny.” Almost as the last word left her lips a shout reached them—a about that rang through tbe stormy wind without. As they stood trembling, uncertain, it came again, clear and full of anxiety; it wound­ ed nearer this time, and nearer still tbe Savage answered it with all hia might, while Marvel stood rigid, frightened, yet full of a wild hope. Suddenly It reared—that glad sound from without—and both their hearts sank CHAPTER XX. It bad not occurred to him to explain to Wriothealey—he thought only of tbe com­ fort her release would be to ber. She came down almost immediately; and, as she emerged into the windy night, and tt>c few straggling moonbeams l>etrayed her to him, Wriothealey caught her hand and drew it within hto arm. “b am afraid I must ask you to burry,” be said, with icy politeness. “You have spent so much time over that old ruin that I fear we shall be late for dinner." "For dinner? Is it not over?" asked Marvel, quaking. "It seemed—I mean— What hour is it, theuT' "Seven. We have a mile to walk, and half an hour to do it in; the other half I leave for dressing," said he grimly. “So, you see, you will have to make haste." "Seven! I thought it was midnight," she said, with a little bursting sigh. All her tears seemed gone from her now when she would have given a good deal for the relief of them, and, though her heart seemed bursting, she found no Wriothealey took no notice of her words; he trudged on in an impenetrable dumbness that frightened her more than all tbe cutting’ speeches in tbe world could have done. The wind still roared around them, the cold was intense, tbe way through tbe rough, unused pathways al­ most unbearable; but be took no notice of anything, save that, when once she stumbled, be clutched her arm more firm­ ly. lie asked no questions whatsoever, and appeared quite dead to the fact that Savage walked beside them. ' At last tbe latter could stand it do long- “I think it is as weiL” said be, as in­ differently as be could, "that you should know bow this unhappy delay occurred.” Wriothealey made no reply: he walked on, in fact, as though be neither heard nor saw tbe speaker. “I have do doubt you are annoyed," Mid Savage, quietly, keeping hto tamper by a superhuman effort. "But for Lady Wriotbcsley’s sake it to just as well that you should know what happened. We went to t^ok at that tower, found the door open, and went in very naturally to see what was there. While up stairs, the door, driven by a gust of wind, slammed to; the bolt shot into its place, and left us prisoners. Had you not come, we would have been prisoners still." Not a word from W riothesley. “You understand?"—from Savage, who began to feci that he would like to mur­ der him. “Entirely,” said Wriothealey, slowly. “I regret very much .that I have been the cause of considerable anxiety to Lady Wriotbesley. It was quite my fault that we entered tbe tower at all. I hope”— stiffly—“that you will believe how very much I reproach myself in this matte!*.” "I 'understand that, too, and also that your feelings on the subject are not of the slightest consequence!” “It was not Mr. Savage’s fault so much as he unys,” put in Marvel, hurriedly, in a frightened, nervous tone. "I wait the first to express a wish to see that old ruin; and. though be dissuaded me. and said how tote it was, I persisted, and----- ” “Neverfheleas it was ray fault,’’ per­ sisted Snr age. rather unwisely defending her from herself. “I knew better than you did the time it would take to reach home, add I should have prevented any deviation from our path.*’ “Are you apologizing for Lady Wri­ othesley?" asked Fulke. suddenly, in a slow, incisive tone that made Marvel’s blood run cold. Even Savage seemed im­ pressed by it to an uncomfortable degree. "Certainly not," he said, with consid­ erable spirit. “Apology would be out of place for either b«*r or me. An accident to an accident—no more, do less. I was only afraid that without a word from me you would Dot be able to grasp the real meaning of a very awkward situation. Lady Wriothealey. too, was afraid her absence might cause remark; and -and of course I think it well you should know exactly bow it was that she and I were—” “Sir.” Interrupted Wriotbesley, with Injdrscribable hauteur, “pray spare yourself further explanation.

The answer to this was a loud knocking cm tbe door Irvnexth and the sound of a voire that thrilled through every nerve. “It is Fulke!” said she, in a whisper that reached do one. Sbe felt as though she were going to faint, and sank down upon the stone seat deed. It wasn’t that I forgot the time; it was only that I couldn’t get home; and I knew you would be augry. But, if you had been there yourself, you would have been in just the same plight, and—and—" She stopped dead short, as if choking— she was almost sobbing. She was fright­ ened, terrified, in fact, and her breath came quickly through her parted lipa. She had clasped her little slender hands upon her bosom, as though to still its beat­ ings, aud was so altogether and openly afraid of him that Wriothealey wag cut to the heart. “You need not look at me like that,” he said; “I believe every word you say. There to no need to excuse yourself; tbe whole thing was unfortunate—no more.” He paused for a moment, and then, “I regret very much," be said, "that my presence causes you to feel such extreme nervousnrea.” He spoke so gently. If coldly, that Mar­ vel. whose nerves were strung to the last pitch by all sbe had undergone during tbe afternoon, broke down and burst Into tears. “I am a little perplexed just now,” she sobbed, "a little at your mercy, and you make me feel it.” “Look here,” said be. Impulsively, tak­ ing a step toward her, until be saw that idle shrank tackward, when he stopped— “don’t you think you have had enough of this sort of thing? You can’t go on play­ ing with fire forever without getting scorched. To-night has awakened you to that fact. Will you give It up and coma away with tnv to the north—to Ringwood —anywhere? I shan’t be much in your ■way: I'll promise to keep out of it as far aa I can. I would indeed do a good deal to put an end to this state of affairs." “Go, to that lonely place alone with you? Oh, no! Do not ask it!” sbe en­ treated, la a low but vehement tone. “Knowing all I do, it would l>c insupport­ able to me. You, too, would Dot l»e able to endure it If—if there were love. It would be different, but— Do not Insist upon this, Fulke, I implore you.

If you mean to change your gown for dinner, I'd advise you to do it nt once;” and he turned on hto heel and left her. CHAPTER XXI. It was an intense relief to Marvel when the evening came to an end. and she was able to retire to tbe solitude of her own room. There was a sense of satisfaction that was almost luxurious in the thought that she was at last alone—that sbe could think matters out to tbe end without bar­ ing to make civil answers to dull remarks in the very middle of a tormenting query put to her own heart. She felt a lassitude both'of mind and body, la>rn of the after­ noon’s misadventure and all the nervous doubts and fears consequent on it. She rose and went over to whersbtbe lamps stood on her dressing table, and looked at her locket—at tbe one frail thing that connected her with an unknown past. Slowly she opened it and gated at the face within—so like, yet so unlike her own. She Glanced from it to the mirror where her own face looked out at her coldly and sor­ rowfully, and caught tbe resemblance. There was something, however, about the hair in the picture which struck her as peculiar; it was brushed very closely back at either side, so that tbe shaven cheeks looked thin and gaunt. How would she look if site brushed her hair like that? Would the resemblance be more striking than it now was between her and this pale, cynical looking man whom she hard­ ly dared to call “father?" She pulled the hairpins oat of tbe care­ fully brushed hair and rolled it up again into a loose, soft, high knot that would admit of a severe brushing back of tbe soft trrea into a severely Greek fashion, so as to accentuate the likeness to the picture which she already saw. Sbe turned abruptly, standing now with her back to the lamps, and saw Mrs. Scar­ lett advancing across the threshold. Sbe hardly knew her, the cold, supercilious beauty of an hour before, sbe looked now so wild aud haggard. Her lipa were blue, her hand was pressed convulsively to her side. • * "Have you any chloral?” sbe asked, in a fierce, impatient tone that bespoke a very agony of pain. “My maid belongs to this part of tbe world, and I gave her leave to go home to-night; and abe has forgotten to put out tbe bottle, or mislaid it—or something! Have you any?” “No; but,” began Marvel, who was a little frightened not only by her sudden entrance, but by the ghastliness of her trance. j yoa think that you can get aomeT* "1 think perhaps, If I went to Mrs. Verulam, she might get it from the house­ keeper."

BLADDER TROUBLES The bladder wan created for one purpose, namely, a receptacle for the urine, and as such it is ,not liable to any form of diease except by one of two ways. The first wav is from im­ perfect action of the kidneys. The second way is from careless iocal treat­ ment of their diseases. SAMPLE SENT FREE.

It is comforting to know that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp Root fulfills every wish in quickly curing bladder and urinary troubles.

The measure was immediately reported and adopted. According to the agreement the Senate receded from its first amendment concern-* ing the time in which tbe organized mili­ tia shall serve, but the time for which all volunteers are to be enlisted is reduced from three years to two. The Warren amendment, authorizing the President to organize independent troops, was retain­ ed. but the number was limited to 3,00U.

Havana, the capital •of the island of Cuba, is in a state of siege, aud our navy has commenced tbe •capture of Spanish boats attempting to ■enter the harbor. The President Friday afternoon, in compliance with the law of nation*, issued a proclamation declaring a blockade of Havana. This proclama­ tion is a notice to tbe world and stops tbe vessels of neutral nations from enter­ ing the harbor of Havana with'mercbandise or supplies ot any sort. Tbe procla­ mation applies to all harbors on the north -eoa»: of the island and to Cieufucgos on the south. ' Captaiu Samiwon. in command of the squadron at Key West, was ordered to Havana Thursday. Ou Wednesday, April 20. 1808, about 11 o'clock a. m., tlie Deportment of State •erved notice of the pnrpeae* of this Gov­ ernment by delivering to Minister Polo a copy of instructions to Minister Wood­ ford. and also a copy of the resolutions passed by the Congress of the United State* on the 19th inst. After the receipt of this notice tbe Spanish minister for­ warded to the State Department a re­ quest for his (uiHsport*. which were fur­ nished to him the same afternoon. The United States minister at Madrid was at the same time ftistructed to make a like communication to the Government of ■Spain. Thursday morning the department re­ ceived from Gen. Woodford a telegram, showing that tbe Spanish Government had broken off diplomatic relations with this Government. The Spanish Govern­ ment. having the text of the ultimatum -of-the United State* from ita own sources, did not wait for the United States minis­ ter to present the ultimatum, but sent him his pa*iq>ortM.

The blockade of Cuban ports is very significant when tbe map of Cuba ia studied in connection with the President’s proclamation. Tbe President declares that he has “instituted and will maintain a bkx-kade of the north coast of Cuba, including ports on said coast between Cardenas and Bahia Honda, and tbe port of Ctenfuegos on the muth coast of Cuba.” Cardenas is about twenty-five miles east of Matanzas, and Bahia Honda is about fifty miles west of Havana.

This would make the tax 9L8? net, instead of 92 a barrel, which would not be felt. Beer sella at wholesale at an average price throughout the country at 16 cents per gallon, and 80 cents a gallon at retail. The committee thinks, therefore, that this al­ lows a sufficient margin for nn additional The authorities, besides making an in­ vestigation of questions relating to pri­ vateering and the neutrality of goods, have been examining the treaties between the United States and Spain to determine what sections would continue iu force in time of war. It is a general principle of International law that war abrogates treaties between belligerents, but should the nations presupposing war have en­ gaged themselves iu such treaties to per­ form certain specific acts during hostili­ ties such engagement must be observed. There is a great deal of patriotism be­ ing expressed through the mails and over the telegraph lines. The President re­ ceives bushels of messages every morning from people who commend or condemn him. At the War Department it is said more than 1.000.000 men have offered their services to tbe Government in case of war, among them four members of Congress—Senator Pettus and Represent­ atives Wheeler of Alabama, Campbell of Illinois and Broussard of Louisiana.

With tbe North Atlantic squadron blockading the coast controlled by the Spanish troops nnd leaving *pen all the coast from Cardenas east and around to Cienfuegos, a coast Une of at leaot 1.000 miles, with numerous ports held by only a few hundred Spanish soldiers, the way is clear for the insurgents to extend tbeir control to the coast nnd communicate with the Unito<l States gunboats.

William Jennings Bryan and William McKinley met Thursday morning for the first time in several years, when the for­ mer called at the White House with Sen­ ator Murphy of New York to jmy bis re­ spects. It was during the regular hours for receiving congressional visitors, and therefore Mr. Bryan remained but a mo­ ment, exchanging compliments, but hav­ ing no serious conversation. Gen. Miles is of the opinion that 100,000 men could be transported,to any point on the gulf or Atlantic coast in the South within forty-eight hour*.

OF THE WEEK CONCISELY CONDENSED E. J. Woodw&rd la Pnsctical Farmer. The following is a cheap and con­ venient arrangement for taping a calf that is being raised by band from avn* lowing milk ,, , . too fast: Use a piece „of U«bt wood board, cut round. *> as to fit lnr.aAlr inside of a .. common pall. nv I Tnui.W loosely Insert tn the center of this float a spile (A) of alxe and shape of the cow's teat. Cover this spile (or teat) with some suitable material—a piece of old gum boot top will answer. This may be tacked se­ curely to the float. The bole in the spike should be. small, so that the flow of milk through it when In use shall correspond with the natural flow from the cow’s udder. As the milk in tbe pall Is used, the float follows down­ ward. enabling tlie calf to get all the milk in tlie pall. To prevent the calf from throwing tbe float out of the pail two cleats are tacked on inside of same, at B R. These clerftw are sq arranged that the float may be readily removed by the operator.—Ohio Farmer. Many dairymen nnd others who milk cows for profit believe that when a cow reaches tbe age of 7 or 8 her useful days are over, and thnt she should be replaced by one younger, says a writer In the New York Tribune. But. other tilings being equal, this Is a mistake. A cow that has been well caret! for, •with generous rations and proper at­ tention given to. her comfort, through ail seasons of the year, is better and will make a more profitable return at 8 years than at an earlier age; In other words, she Is In ber prime, and she will continue in this condition several years, and will not be considered an old cow until fourteen or fifteen years have passed. Cows with first calve*—at 2 or-3 years—are generally unprofitable in their milk yield, nnd one really good cow between 7 and 8 years old will pay a better revenue than two that are per­ forming their first year’s duties in tlie dairy herd, ami shtTwill probably conmnue but little more food than one of the younger ones. This fact is worthy the consideration of those who are dairying for profit. A Variou* l’urpo»e Building. Tlie cut. from the American Agricul­ turist, show* a building constructed upon a bank. Hint will prove convenient for several uses. In winter the room in the bank is used for thtastorage of roots and other stock foods, while outside is a set boiler for cooking the same for hogs, pouKry, etc. In this open shed water can also be heated ■ and hogs dressed, s hoisting arrangement being provided overhead. During the hot months of summer the bank room lx thoroughly cleaned nnd used as a milk room, tbe open shed outskle being used ax a shady place for churning and working the butter. Tho building will thus be found excedingly convenient all the year around.

But market gardeners, who have brought their land to the highest degree of fertility, find It much too valuable'to let it lie idle dur­ log any time of the growing season. Some of them .regularly take three crops off their best land. The first is spinach, which Is partially covered dur­ ing the winter to protect it, and is hoed ir, fit ui to iu work. wi'li.

Many improvements have been made at the Northern Peninsula hospital for the insane st Newberry during the past year, comprising a cottage and dinipg room aud n kitchen building, boiler bouse, beating plant, cow Barn. etc., costing over $<12,000. Grounds arc laid out by a.landscape gar­ dener with walks, Shrubs aud shade trees, etc., beautifying the rough looking nppcarnnee of new soil heretofore noticed. The hospital is under the management of I’r. Samuel Bell, formerly of Detroit, with Dr. Chamberlain ns assistant. When another cottage, which is about ready to l»e opened, is completed there will be acconimodations for over 300 patients. An­ other cottage will be erected early this summer, which will increase tbe capacity by fifty more. He Killed Hia Father. Gov. Pingree has signed the parole of Sanford Hadden, the Burns township man who killed bis father in 1880. nnd was sentenced by Judge Newton to twen­ ty-five years in the Jackson prison for tbe crime. Since an effort was made to secure his pardon on parole a witness has beexi found who was not sworn upon the trial, but who now testifies that San­ ford Hadden, the father of the prisoner, two or three years before the murder tried to get hirbto shoot bis son, nnd when he refused said that be would get someone else to do it.

Made helpless as a baby by a dreadful nervous dis­ ease he read of a case like his own^ and had enough faith to follow the example it set him. Now he is himself an example to others who ahe suffering from disorders of the nervous system. Sawing wood, working in his garden, walking three times a day to and from his place of business—these form part of the daily routine of Edwin R. Tripp, Post­ master of Middlefield Centre, N. Y. He is past his seventieth birthday. Nearly fifty years a blacksmith ; thirtytwo yean Justice of the Peace; three years town clerk, then postmaster; forty-siz years a resident of the town he now lives in— these are the bare outlines of a useful lift. Mr. Tripp’s career is a type. His story will be read with heartfelt sympathy by thousands. His hearty endorsement of Dr. Williams’ Pmk Pills for Pale People wfll be echoed by tens of thousands. He said: “In March, 1892, I was attacked by what I afterwards learned was locomotor ataxia. “Two skillful doctors did everything they could for me. I steadily became worse. Was unable to dress myselL “Later 1 could not move even about the room, but was carried in my chair. “ I gave up hope. The doctors gave me no encouragement. I did not expect to live very long. I was more helpless than a baby. I sank lower and lower. “In June the tide turned! From the lowest ebb, it began to set toward health and vigor. “The turning point was a newspaper article. “It told how a man, who suffered as I had suffered, had beer, cured by Dr.WTk liams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. “ It gave me faith and hope. I took two boxes of the pills; then four more boxes. “Myg^n was steady: my return to health was'a source of daily gratifkatiom “ In all I took eighteen boxes of the pi0» before I was entirely well. At first I P** 50 cents a box, but afterwards I saved money fry^getting six boxes at a time^ I owe my cure entirely to Dr-Willr'amaT Pink Pills for Pale People.” To clinch his remarkable story and add to its helpfulness to others, Mr. Tripp madeaffidavit to its truthfulness before Homer Hanna, a local Notary Public. From helplessness, suffering and <fe*pair Mr. Tripp was restored to the healthful, useful activity suggested at the beginning of this sketch. His experience is like others. While locomotor ataxia is one of the most baffling nervous diseases with which ph>-sicians art called to contend, its cure by­ Dr. Williams’ Pink P-Us for Pale People has become a matter of almost daily oc­ currence. Smaller nervous troubles yield much more readily to the powerful influ­ ence these vegatable pills exert in restoring wasted nerve force and in purifying and enriching the blood.

McQuillen argued tte point for a moment, and when a noise outride caused 8t Clair to turn hl* eye*. McQuiilen jumped for him. St. Clair fired both barrris of the shotgun, but missed hh mark. He then turned tte revolver loose, but McQuillen turned tte weapon aside. A desperate hand-to-hand conflict ensued. Armed only with a knife, Mc­ Quillen wrestled with tte desperado, plunging the keen weapon time after time into his breast. Tbe guard finally got hold of the revolver and sent a bullet into Bt. Cialr. The ball glanced and did not kill the murderer, and he wa* packed In­ side and die doctors summoned. St. Clair’* case is now on appeal to the Su­ preme Court. DFNAMITK STORES BROKEN INTO. A decided sensation wa* created in New Orleans the other evening when it was learned that the dynamite mtgaxine in which Major Quinn, the officer in charge of the city defenses, kept his supply of high explosive*, had been broken open and a quantity of dynamite carried away.

No business ever succeeded without satisfied customers. The ■ manager of any business lays the foundation ot its success by truthful dealing, by advertising of facts, by willingness to make a wrong I right and by evennting his double-edge diplomacy of experience in buying what his customers want at prices which the world’s- compeffon has tn offer for cash, but the ultimate~result of his business rests with the patronage of the people. Therefore, I deem it a special I ^wivilege to appoint TUESDAY, MAY 10, as a WONDERFUL BARGAIN DAY for all persons interested in saving dollars on the Spring Purchases. We lay claim to the distinction of selling, every working day of the week, BIGGER VALUES in merchandise for SMALLER DOLLARS than any dealer in Barry, Ionia or Eaton counties, and we CHALLENGE A ■COMPARISON with all prices and all houses at all times. However, on TUESDAY, MAY 10, the anniversary of the 30 years business.

Clothingmade of paper Is not so very new after all, for Pompeiian excava­ tions have revealed shoes made cf pa­ per. These shoes would be cheap, light and waterproof and the suggestion might be a good one to follow. The Japanese foot has been praised for its’ strength and "beauty. Japanese can walk incredible distances without feeling weary. They do not cramp their feet the way we westerners are apt to do. A very small, arched foot*tells of an arbitrary spirit, pride, elegance and reserve. It is rarely seen> except in the fineast or In Spain. An arched foot is ca­ pable of more work than a flat one and in some countries a flat-footed man baa no chance of becoming a soldier. Scarpology is the art of reading char­ acter from theshoe^oles. Accordingto a Swiss physician a symmetrically worn heel and sole indicate an energetic faithful, upll-balanced character. If the outer edge is unduly worn off the wearer is headstrong and willful. If the inner edge is unduly worn the own­ er i* feeble and irresolute.

But there’s no best without a test You expect something extra of best; something extra in bread from best flour; something extra in wear from best cloth; something extra in cures from best medicines. It’s that something extra in Ayer’s Sarsa­ parilla that makes Ayer’s the best That something extra is quality Remember it’s quality that cures, not quantity Geo. ~ Smith of the People’s Drug Store, Seymour, Conn., says: “I have sold your goods for twenty-five years and when a customer asks me for The Best Preparation for the Blood I say: ‘If you will take my opinion, use Ayer’s Sarsaparilla; I will guar antee that you ■vtyll receive more benefit by using one or two bottles of Ayer’s than you would by using half a dozen bottles of some other kind.’ When they take it, I never hear any complaint.” Ayer's Sarsaparilla cures all diseases that have their origin in impure blood: sores, ulcers, boils, eruptions, pimples, eczema, tetter,'scrofula, etc It cures cheaply, it cures quickly, and it cures to stay. That’s why it’s best. BIO POWDER MILLS BLOWN UP. Killed in California. At 3:13 Tuesday afternoon Santa Crux (CaL) wna startled by a tremendous ex­ plosion. Buildings were shaken as though by n violent earthquake, and the first thought wss that one hud occurred. Hard­ ly had the rumblings diol away when tho secxxui Khock occurred, not so violent on tte first. and soon small boughs from redwood trees, shingles, bits of powder cans, and other debris begun falling in the streets of tlte city. They cleared up all doubt* ns to the rouse of the shock. The California powder works had becu blown tip. The secund shock wns follow­ ed by a third ami then a fourth, more vio­ lent than tite others. Between fifteen and twenty people, mostly young teys, employed at the works, were killed, and ns many more were injured. The first explosion occurred in tte gnnrottou works. This wm followed by the destruction of tike nitroglycerin house, snd then a number of 'buildings used in the nmnufneture of smokeless powder for the Government. Then tbe inside powder magazine blew np with a terrific roar. Although considerable powder woi stored Ltere, the amount wns smal? in compari­ son with last week. us over 100 tons were shipped to Chicago Sunday last to till the order of the Government. Nothing is known as to what roused the explosion, but it was probably due to spon­ taneous com bustion. There were many wild rumors afloat to tbe effect that Span­ ish sympathisers did tbe work, but the stories are probably based on the fact that a number of persons of Spanish de­ scent lire in the vicinity ot the works.

Wbu said that there was do difference between a “sale” harness and a handmade harness? It wa» a man who couldn’t tell a harness from a pair of felt boots. To a man who has eyes we can show a vast difference in any and every part of the harness. There is a difference In pie leather, a difference in the thread, a difference in the work, a difference in tbe trimmings. It takes something besides smooth talk to make a good harness. Poor leather can be manipulated and fixed up so as to look and (eel like good leather, but that don’t make It good leather. Did you ever get fooled on a pair of shoes? We don’t ask you to take anybody’s word about wbdt goes into our harness or how they are made. Come In and see for yourself. All of our goods in process of construction are open for inspection We may be able to show you some things you don’t know about harness. There isn’t much difference in the cost, either.

A DEATH AND RUIN DEALT OUT WILL NOT ADJOURN. Congress, accordrug to what most of the leaders say, is likely to remain in session until the war with Spain is over, even if the struggle should be prolonged until Docember. It js most important that it should, in view of the possibility of complications with other European na­ tions. A number of Congressmen look fcji interference on the part of the several pBwen«, whose Interests and sympathies are with Spain, and decidedly against the United States or any strong republic. It is probable, however, that during the hot Summer weather, should the war continue until then, brief recesses will be taken, and the members generally will remain close to Washington, so .that they can return on short notice.

DISTANCES BETWEEN UNITED STATES AND SPANISH POINTS. Spanish Officers Threaten. Rvnora Virginia Herrora and her two sons, daughter, and four aiaters have ar­ rived in Atlanta from Havana. They say that an agreement has been entered into by the Spanish officers in the Cuban capital by which, rather .than have the city fall intact into tbe hand* of the Americans, they will masancre every American sympathirer and raze Havana to the ground. The first symptom of American occupation will lie the signal for thia action. Thousands of Cubans are leaving Havana from fear of this threat. FROM THE FRONT.

Considerable caustic criticism has been indulged in by army officers, and particu­ larly by Gen. Miles, of the smallness of the first army it is proposed to send to Cuba. Gen. Miles, it is understood, said that, in his opinion, it would be better to take tbe 5,000 tnen whom it is propos­ ed to send to Cuba, put them ou a trans­ port and send them to Cadiz with a polite request to tbe 8|>anbh Government to take good care of them until tbe cruel war is over. The fact that Matanzas, which is lhe jmint selected for the land­ ing. b a comparatively short distance from Havana, where 80,000 Spanish sol­ diers an* understood to be concentrated, was in itself thought to be sufficient rea­ son for not rbking so small a force as 5,000 men ashore.

He was horrified when the question passed hi* lips; but it was too late then to look for anything but the way in which she would receive it. That was with the utmost indifference. Evidently she had not understood the real meaning of it. “Oh, no!" she said. “Of what, then?" persisted he. “Of the past—the old dead days—of Lady Mary, and of—She had averted her face, and now her eyes fell upon the locket she had dropped upon the table, nod, with a little, quick, sighing breath, she laid her hand uj»on it ns if tu conceal it, and closed her trembling fingers round It.

Rid­ icule seems to have lent its aid to the formation of surnames; thus we have Sheepshanks, Trollope, Doolittle. The original Trotter may have been a run­ ning footman. Many names were orig­ inally formed by tbe addition at either the commencement or end of the fath­ er's name of some syllable meaning “son of," which made his name apply to his descendants. The most familiar use of such an affix Is simply the word “son” appended to the end of a Chris­ tian name, as Stevenson, Johnson. The Scotch prefix, “Mac," means "son of,” and by its use we bare the familiar Scotch names Macdonald. Mackenzie and hundreds of others.

Secre­ tary Wilson’s latest report on the subject shows-that the experiments of last rear were highly successful, and that be has reason to expect that the beet sugar production of the United States in. will be double that of 1897. and that this will shortly become one of lhe well recognized and suc­ cessful agricultural Industries of the country. The question: “What does a man buy when he purchases the title to a farm?” has often been asked but not satisfactorily determined. All author­ ity from the latest decislom. on the subject says it is plain he buys the ground and all the buildings erected on it, whether these are mentioned or not. He also buys all fences, but not material once used, taken down and laid aside, nor the material purchased for a new fence or new buildipg, un­ less they are especially mentioned. He also buys adjuncts necessary to the farm, except implements and ma­ chinery. %For instance, if there is a pile of bean poles cut and once used for that purpose, these go with the farm; but if cut and never used, they are the seller’s property unless speci­ fied as sold. Standing trees and trees that have blown down go with the farm but cut down and made into cord wood thus become personal property, and to go with the farm must be spec­ ified in the sale. ww “ere .. w.

Chicago special: The most sensational rise iu wheat for many years was scored ou the Chicago Board of Trude Thursday. May wheat closed nt $1.30 a bushel, or 20 cents over added. Excitement was intense. July wheat closed at $1.02’4 after going up to $1.08. moat unparalleled within the recollection’ of veteran traders, marked Um? eesrioa. Cabled rejwrts of half-starved and crazed inhalgaats of the provinces of Spain and Italy breaking through the ranks of arm­ ed soldiers iu a mad scramble for bread wore officially confirmed on ’Change. Fol­ lowing closely upon the heels of the French removal of the import duty on wheat, Italy took similar action. “Broad riots” were reported in Rome and the provinces of Italy. Agitation was rife In the German relchatag for the removal of the import duty by that Government, and rumor had it that Russia is contemplating the prohibition of grain exports. War u only partially to blame for the tension in the wheat market. Italy’s fam­ ine cannot be regarded as due to the in­ ternational encounter, and yet the streets of Rome are pictured as thronged with famish<*d people vainly crying for bread. The same cry i* echoed in the provinces of France. That the latter country is very closely pressed was evident by its taking the lead iu wiping out the import duty. In Russia tlu? small stocks arc en­ gaging the attention of the Government ‘with a view of restricting exports. The German Government is now agitating the removal of the duty on grain. Accord­ ing to dispatches receireffi the food situa­ tion in Spain is fraught with the greatest of peril to the present dynasty. While May wheat advanced in one bound from $1.30 to $1217 nt the opening, it relapsed with equal speed to $1.81, but rallied back to $1.35 within two bourn after the opening. Just before the clos­ ing hour it again soared when the high figure of the day was reached. The clos­ ing was,at highest point, $1250. The excitement in the wheat pit was intense. July wheat was not behind in the pro­ cession and made a record, for the season by soiling up to the dollar mark. That option closet! Wednesday at 9S%c, opened Thursday at 999*e and was curried up to $1.00% before it sank back again to 99%c. September wheat was also on the upward grade. Big Jump iu Liverpool. Liverpool’s advance Thursday was over 8 cents a bushel. London also gave an additional upward screw to the market. One of the biggest surprises was the in­ formation that Minneapolis bad received inquiries for wheat from Hong-Kong. Heretofore Hong-Kong has never been compelled to come further than San Fran­ cisco. The Pacific cosst is in the throes of a wheat famine on account of the fail­ ure of the crop there. San Francisco advices say that all the wheat in that sec­ tion of the country must be held for home consumption aud none can bs sold for ex­ port. ARMY AND NAVY TERMS. Tbe House on Thursday disposed of two important measures. The Alaskan land bill, extending the homestead laws to and providing for certain railway­ rights of way iu the district of Alaska, as. amended by the Renats and agreed upon in conference, was, passed. The labor­ arbitration measure, providing for the ar­ bitration of labor disputes between em­ ployes and certain common carriers, a bill which had received very wide indorse­ ment by labor organization* throughout the country, received the approval of theHouse. It provides that in case a serious con­ troversy concerning wages, hours of la­ bor or conditions of empteynien: shall arise between a carrier subject to theact and the employes, the chairman of the Interstate Commerce Commiamoa and the Commissioner of Labor shall, up­ on the request of either party, endeavoramicably to settle the dispute by media­ tion. and m case the endeavor shall failthen the cootroveray may lx* submitted to arbitration of a board of three persona,, each party to the controversy to name onearbitrator, and the two thus nnimM shall name a third. The agreement to submit must contain stipulations that the arbi­ tration shall be begun within five days,, and the award shall lx* filed within twen­ ty days from the appointment of thethird arbitrator; tjiat the tfwanl shall befiled in the Circuit Court of the United States for any district wherein the employier carries on business; that the par­ ties shall consider the award final and concltMivc, and faithfully execute thesame; that the award shall continue in. force as between the parties for owe year, and that the employer shall not dismiss nor shall any employe, dissatisfied witB the award, quit work under three monthswithout giving thirty days’ notice. The award dial] become final and operativeten days after filing, nnless nu appeal shall be taken within the teu days on ex­ ceptions to matters of law. The act rec­ ognizes organized labor and provides pen­ alties for employers discriminating- . against cmjiloytn by reason of their con­ nection with or purpose to join such or­ ganization. Mr. Morris (Minn.) called up and theHouse jiamuxl a joint resolution declaring the lands within the former Millc Ixic In­ dian reservation in Minnesota to be sub­ ject to entry .under the land laws of theUnited States. The House adjourned toMonday. During almost the entire session the­ Benote Imo under consideration the post­ office appropriation bill. The measure­ carries $90.2242100, being very much theheaviest of all the appropriation-'bills.. The most important action taken npoa< the measure was the adoption of an amendment offered by Mr. Tillman <S. C.> reducing the number of deliveries of mail in all cities of the country to a number not exceeding four each day. The amend­ ment was sharply antagonizAd as a blow to business interests in the large cities,, but the feeling of the Senate was such; that despite the vigorous opposition k prevailed by n decisive majority. A lively debate was precipitated by an. amendment of the committee striking out the appropriation of $3O0,(MX> for rural free delivery. The proposition was discnssed for nearly two hours. Mr. (.'hand­ ler (N. H.) and Mr. Butler iN. C.l lee.dmg the fight in favor of rural delivery. By the close vote of 25 to 22, however, thecommltte<* was sustained ' * and" the ■ - bill now carries no appropriation for such. delivery. An important amendment to the bill stir-routewas one which will prevent . contractors from sub-letting their con­ tracts. In onlcr to get their money they must be able to swear that they perform­ ed the’ service themselves. Just before adjournment the Senatepassed an important war measure author­ izing the President and general officer© of the army to supply the Cuban insur­ gents with arms and munitions of *ar and empowering officers of the army serv­ ing in Cuba to supply needy inhabitants. of the island with medicine aud subsist­ ence.

The sneering demon vanished from his face and a great weariness took ita place; he looked suddenly older, worried and hopeleas. and, coming from the -back ot the chair, dropped languidly upon the seat of it “I’m tired of it all,” he said. "Tired of me, you mean,” said she, with florae spirit. “Be that as it may, I confess I want now to have done with the whole thing. You are unhappy with me; I am—not hap­ py with you.” He made the little subtle difference in tbe two meanings apparent to her by the slight pause. “Let us come to some decision.” > “You mean a separation?" She hated herself passionately at the moment be­ cause of the tears she fought so wildly to subdue. She stood before him, trembling, angry, in a miserable despair, yet so love­ ly, so sweet—a thing "that was whiter than thistle-down”—that he hardly dared himself to look nt her lest his righteous rage should cool within him. "Not a formal one," he said. "For heaven's sake, let.us not be town talk for the amusement of dur friends! Vulgar as you deem me"—with n slight frown— “I would carefully avoid that. But I see no reason why we should antwy each other with these perpetual scenes and .with the presence of each other.” "I don’t sec how you are going to man­ age It—just at present, at all events. You are coming with me to Cicely’s, are you "Certainly not. I shall cancel the en­ gagement. Yon can go your way for the future, and I shall go mine—I have had ■quite enough of this sort of thing. I don’t -care about spending the rest of my life watching you weeping over your fare­ wells to your lovers." “Take care!" said she, in a low voice. "Why? Can you deny that be loves you —that he told you so—anil more—more?’ His brow grew black again. “If he does love me, that is no reason why you should address me in such a tone. I could not prevent that misfortune: it was no fault of mine—1 had nothing to do with it" "Of course not—no woman ever yet had. It is the regulation answer. However, let that pass. The real matter st issue Is that I shall cease to worry you with my presence. I shall accompany you and Cicely as far as town to-morrow, and then run across to Paris or somewhere.” He was as good as his word. In the morning he accompanied them to town, oaw them into the train that would take them down to Grangemore. and bade them a calm farewell upon the platform. It was all a surprise to Cicely, and, at the first knowledge of R, a regret; but after awhile she began to regard it as a salutary movement, and consoled herself with the reflection that absence has been very often proved the most beneficial of medicines. CHAPTER XXV. Six weeks of silence. Whether Wri­ othesley waa In Paris or Timhuctoo was unknown to Marvel. February had come and gone, bringing ita sweet promise of opening buds, and .'caving that promise fulfilled. March bad come in, in the or­ thodox way, with the roar of a lion en­ raged, but after a day or two bad sub•ided into tbe tamest of animals, and was Verulam’s deep satisfaction, as her house party had arrived. ■ Marvel, who had a positive talent for slipping into her clothes and looking love­ ly in an incredibly short space of time, had just finishet! her dinner toilet; and, going downstairs io the rather joyless, emotionless manner that had character­ ized her of late, she made her way into the inner drawing room, which communi­ cated with the larger reception room by means of hanging curtains. She sank with a thankful sigh into a low lounging chair, and, in the soft twi­ light of a glorious tire, gave herself up to thought. She was dressed, as usual, in a white clinging gown of lace and satin that rose close to her throat, but left her arms bare to the shoulder. She had rais­ ed them and thrown them behind her. so that her head could rest upon the palms of her joined hands. 5>theslcy had said to her once. “One would think you had vowed yourself to some saint—some order.” She remembered these words dow, and was dwelling opou them with a self-re­ gretful feeling that she had not been to vowed in her earliest iufancy, when she looked up and saw Wriothesley posh aside1 the heavy velvet curtains and come to-• ■ > •aid, with a rather awkward laugh.

' Mobilisation af the Citiaen Soldiery The citizen soldiery of Michigan is gath­ ered at Camp Eaton, Island Lake. From every part of the state have come tbe young guardsmen, who have dropped their work at tbe order, and tbe soldi*** of Michigan are under canvas at the en­ campment. There are 8,000 or mor* of Here they will be armed and equip­ ped and drilled, in order that when the summons to tbe South comes, they may worthily fulfill tbe expectations of tbe State. Everywhere their departure has been accompanied by the most enthusias­ tic demonstrations. Tears have been dried and sigh* reprewed, and tbe cities and towns have bidden “God speed” to their troop*. And in every case, there might have been taken twice tbe uumber of men. The companies all marched with full ranks. ' . At Island Lake the quartermaster's de­ tail had been hard at work. The tents were up, and the camp was In readiness. While the quarters of the men are some­ what rougher than they are used to at the- annual camp, they are nevertheless better than many a bivouac they wit make. If given field service. Contracts have ix*en closed for meat and bread, tbe hospital force is complete, and every- All through tbe towns and cities of both peninsulas tbe scenes hare been re­ peated, and the progress of the companies to tbe camp was one big ovation. Brig. Gen. Irish has assumed command. He called the colonelu and majors to hie office and notified them that tbe camp at, present would remain a regimental camp, in order that tbe colonels may be able to assume any responsibility in tbe field. An order iwroed mentions that tbe encampment is for the “reorganization of regiment?.’’ Some of the colonels are fearful that it may moan tbe breaking up of the regiments and the organization of new ones from the State troops. Each regiment is to consist of twelve companies, three battalions, formation and two ma­ jors. Tbe lieutenant colonels will there­ fore have to command one of the battal­ ions. According to this, Michigan wMJ have to furnish 4,800 men, eight .more companies than are hero at present. That Camp Eaton is to have strict mill-, taxy discipline was forcibly impressed up­ on the troops by Gen. Irish, when they were massed In columns of battalions, without arms, in front of headquarters, to hear what he had to say on the sub­ ject. Owing to the spectacle some of the soldier* made of themselves at Brighton on two recent nights, Gen. Irish decided to bring them together so that he could talk to them personally. Tbe great ma­ jority of tbe soldiers take the present crisis in tbe serious manner it demands, but a few have started out to have a good time, and their actions reflect on the en­ tire camp. It was tbe first time that the entire command had been assembled, and they presented a formidable appearance. Special attention h being devoted to guard mounting, and signal practice, y both will be the most important factors In case tbe boys go South. A good many of tbe soldiers are not yet properly equip­ ped, nnd some of them do not present an appearance that would pass inspection, but it is not their fault, and the defects are gradually being overcome. Some amusing instances come up among the sentricM, but lately tbe guard tins halted everybody very shandy after "taps’’ had been sounded. A special detail has been on duty at headquarters, and there being no countersign there, everybody who pass­ ed through the gates was taken to the guard house, where the officer of the guard used his discretion ■ in releasing them. Orders have been issued to arrest all tramps on sight and their prestuce will not be tolerated. The soldiers now in camp have had an extra hour of duty added to their routine work. This will continue unt^ they are proficient in the manual, guard duty, and other things that are‘necessary to make a good soldier. ConijMiny C, First Inde­ pendent Battalion of Detroit, held a se­ cret meeting, during which Capt. Rode told nil those who did not desire to voluntwr in tbe United States army to step to one side of tbe tent. Three corporals and about eighteen men stepped over. Tbe next day these men were requested to resign from tbe company and at night they were sent to Detroit in charge of Sergeant Eber and Private Patrick. Gen. Lyons arrived with tbe Fifth in­ fantry from tbe north. It is surmised that hi* being here without any particular duty to perform means a permanent camp at Island Lake, where volunteer* may be trained in tbe State troop organization. Col. Buckingham of tbe Governor's staff has been appointed assistant adjutant general. Tbe War Department has ship­ ped 738 overcoats to Camp Eaton. Some nights have been cold and water froze in tbe tents, but the soldier* are sleeping eight in a tent and suffer little. Tbe meat consumption of the camp is eighteen beef cattle a day, beside* sev­ eral carcasses of mutton and veal and fresh and salt pork. A carload of bread cons* every morning from a Grand Rap­ ids contractor. The expense of mobilizing tbe National Guard at tbe lake, together with the cost of new equipments, lies exhausted tbe military fund and made necessary tbe sale of war bonds authorized at tbe recent special session of the Legislature.

Rossman and Miss Myrtle Cross was next on the program and received a great meas­ ure of applause. The subject of Miss Blanche McMore’s oration was the class motto, "To Be, Not to Seem,” and it is only doing her justice when we say it was an excellent effort and excellently de­ livered. The instrtimental solo, “Les Pameaux,” played by Miss Clara Sylves­ ter, received the hearty applause which it duly merited. “Shadows of the Past,” was the subject chosen by Miss Grace Still­ well for her oration, and to say the least her effort gave evidence of careful thought and hard study, and the delivery was clear and distinct. Following came a trio, “Ebb and Flow," by Miss Effa Simpson, Mrs. B. B. Wilcox of Chicago, and Miss Mae Benedict of Vermontville, with Mr-, l.-aixille Boise at the piano. From these reputable vocalists we could expect nothing but the high de­ gree of excellence with which they ren­ dered this song. The responsibility of giving a his­ tory ot the members of the class of ’99 devolved upon Ernest Smith and - al­ though this part of the program is generally considered to be a difficult one, Ernest did exceedingly well with it. . The members of the Hastings 'man­ dolin club again did honor to them­ selves by rendering another pretty selection and responding to the en­ core. Frank B. Rood then gave an inter­ esting discourse on “Woman’s Suf­ frage.” The sentiments of the ora­ tion did not quite harmonize with those of the W. C. T. U. cohunn, but, nevertheless, his talk was a good one, evincing several excellent ideas. Miss Blanche Powers sang a beau­ tiful solo, winning a hearty applause from everybody. One of the most interesting features of the evening was Carl McDerby’s oration on the subject of “Cuba.” lie went into the details of this question which so deeply concerns every loyal American of today, and gave some very interesting facts concerning the island. In fact, his talk was one such as would do credit to a person of much more experience in that line. The members of the class all joined in singing their class song, the words of winch were composed by Miss Rhoda Buel and the music by Miss Clara Sylvester, after which the man­ dolin club again favored the audience with a selection. Prof. M. R. Parmelee then in a few well chosen words thanked the people for their kindness in helping to make the exercises a success, after which the folks dispersed for their homes, feeling that a bright future awaits the class of '99. HIGH SCHOOL HELD DAY. High school field day, which has been set for Saturday of next week, the 28th, promises to be highly inter­ esting.

Dun's Review of Trade takes the fol­ lowing view of the week’s developments: “Hostilities have fasted long enough to kill many predictions, if but few Ameri­ cans. The only hindrance of industry ha* been due to waiting of buyers who looked for lower price*. Nothing disheartening can lie seen in the industrial situation, except th;.* dosing of some cotton mills, owing to overproductio*, nnd the fall of print doth* to 1.87 cents. Cotton ha* not risen above 6.37 cents, and,many stories of reduced acreage are current, as a year ago. but they do not weigh much, in view of the actual receipt* of 10,500.000 bales.

Porter of the Minne­ sota Iron Company returned to Chicago, after a trip of inspection. He said the only marked effect of the war on the ore market might be favorable, caused by a demand for armor for ironclad*. Mr. Porter said the effect of the movement for lower ore carrying rate* from the mines had been to cancel Duluth and Iron range plans for $300,000 worth of improvement*, and that other plans would be set aside. The effect of lower freights, he said, would inevitably be to cheapen the cost at the furnace by that much, and not benefit mine owner*.

Together we left home and sought a remote village on the Cornish coast; and there you were l>orn.” She raised her eyes to Marvel’s with a reluc­ tant dWlke. “Even then." she said, “ns you lay helpless, powerless within my arms, I iutted you!” She pushed back the hair from her forehead and drew a long breath, then laughed a Ettle. “It l« true," she said. “The very brute beast will love its offspring, but—I loathed mine* As soon as*I dared stir I forsook you, and left.you with my nurse. An aunt at wifie with whom J had kept up n desultory sort of correspondence, nnd who was well married aud mixing in the world, wrote asking me to go and live with her. I gladly coasented. I even grasped at tiic chance it opened out to me of retrieving my folly and making myself such a place In the world ns I had ever hoped for. But you—you’’—looking at Marvel—"you de­ stroyed all—you, and this!” Again she l^W her hand upon the locket wherein lay the dead man’s face—the man who alone had ever touched her worldly heart, for whooe sake she had been deaf and blind evermore to the attractions of all others. It was the one saving trait in her cold, calculating, ambitious nature, that one wild, absorbing passion of her youth. * 4 T feared the discovery of you. You hung like a millstone round my neck!” she said, still with her reluctant gaze fixed on Marvel, who shrank and shivered be­ fore her. "And the woman who kept you grew greedy for her claims. She wrote always for money, and I had none to give. Though living in affluence with that rich woman, my aunt”—with a sudden imprecation of awful bitterness—“I bad not one penny even that I could call my own. I had dresses, trinkets, but no pocket money to gpeak of. Once she discovered me tryIng to pawn a ring,' and after that there was do single moment that I could call my own. Perhaps she suspected something. I never knew; but at all events the woman, the nurse, though importunate, was faithful. She never betrayed me. Still, when she found ahe could get no money from me, she tired of you”— turning cold, cruel eyes on Marvel—“tired, as have all the others!” “Oh. do! Oh, have pity!” said the girl In a alow, painful tone that went to Wriothesley’a heart. “You would have the truth. Now hear Itr said she. relentlessly. “Yea, even that woman who nursed you would fain be rid of you when she discovered that I could not supply her with the money needful for your wants and her extortionate demands. Your birth was'a horror to me”—slowly —“the thought of you a constant, neverdying fear. When, at the end of four were dead. I rejoiced!" She spoke with such deliberate malig­ nancy that the blood rose to Wriothesley's face. He glanced compassionately at Marvel She wo* pale; an icy chill seem­ ed to have passed over her. She shuddered. "Then at last I felt free; the hateful chain that bound me was loosed. I bless­ ed death from my very heart. An old man, rich, pliable—a hideous old man— had been my suitor for some time. Just then he offered himself to me for the third time, and I accepted him. I married Mr. Scarlett, aud for the first time for five years a sense of rest stole over me. It butted for seven years. Then I had a let­ ter from the nurse to say that she was dying—that she was indeed at the very point of death—that I must go to her. and quickly, if I would see her alive and hear from her own lips that which would in­ fluence my entire life.” She was silent for a moment, m if thinking. "I arrived at her house a day after the summons tal* of that city we all so fear to enter, fibe had barely sutlieient strength left to tel! me that the child whom she had taken from me, and who she had sworn was dead, was still living!” "Perhaps abe lied," said Wriothesley, hoarsely. "No; the dying seldom lie, nnd tlwre was lltat ou her face which forbade the thought of it. She said she had found it imt*>Mible to imppart herself and the child on the small and uncertain sum* I was at last she determined to rid herself of her nursling by leaving her secretly at known. One evening, with this purpose in her mind, she set out with the child, for myself, I don't believe in heart*—bad she said her courage failed, J should have uuderstooi.” She shrugged her shoul­ ders slightly, and a fatal sneer ended her staircase that evidently led to a room above which shone out the yellow glare of lamps. There .he abandoned the child, and, with a last parting command to her to climb the stejis, deserted her forever.” “A worthy accomplice indeed of a wor­ thy mother!” said Wjriothc«ley, bitterly. “Noy, sir! Your hatred runs away with you. She was no accomplice of mine. You have paid but ill heed to my words, or you would remember that all this that she breathed to me on her dying t*cd was new and most unwelcome tidings. “Do not speak—do not Interrupt—lot me. hear it all- all !” entreated Marvel, turning upon him a look of anguish. “Well, there is more to tell?” question­ ed he, in answer to her appeal, addressing Mrs. Scarlett. “No—no more. So far she had got in her narrative when she raised herself high on-her pallet, stared wiidly at me, made a last fearful effort to speak, and then drop­ ped back like a stone upon her pillow. I seized her; I called aloud to her to name the village near which the child had been left; but all in vain. I even shook her vio­ lently, hoping thus to recall her, if only for one moment, to a aenae of this life; but I failed. I even think”—angrily— “that my violence frustrated my own hopes—that that last shake harried her end! At all event*, she was dead, and with her went every chance of learning the truth." “What was the child’s name?” asked Wriothealey, abruptly. “‘Margaret/ she had been christened; ‘Meg,’ the woman called her; for me, I .called her nothing. Meg! As a long dream suddenly recurs to one’s memory, bringing with it a train of thought that has seemed dead and bur- ■ led for many a day, so now there rushed upon the mind of Marvel and Wriothesley a remembrance of that past wild yet hap­ py hour when a little child had been drawn by loving hands from the damp and death of night to the warmth of a fire­ side shelter—a little child so small, so cold, that her white Ups could scarcely tell them that her.name was "Meg." They had not known what It meant then—the boy who was now n man, the woman who now was dead—but the man remembered, .and turned his. eyes upon Marvel with ,even a gentler tenderness than he had be­ trayed before. That little vague sound “M’g” bad meant “Meg”—Margaret. Alaa, for the sorrow of it! thought he, ,dwelling on her grief alone, giving no •thought to his own natural regret. At that moment Marvel raised her head. ,She was deadly pale; her eyes gleamed. ;She came right up to Mrs. Scarlett and | laid a burning hand on hers. “I have beard all," she said; "but there i one thing yet. There was a marriage is |between you and-—” She pointed to the ( open iqrket. “Say so!” There was silence; her face now wm j ghastly, and mechanically she laid both ] her slender palms on Mrs. Scarlett’s arms iand shook her no nnd fro. “Say, Myf she said, her voice being ■ almost a command. ' A malignant smile lighted up the other’s i face. She flung the girl from her with a | little swift^movement and turned her eyes full < on Wriothesley. “There was do marriage,” she said. ■ Why should I lie to please you?’— slow­ “ ] glancing round at Marvel. “No, there ly was no marriage. He lived, he loved, he died—that wa* all.” She broke into a wild tangh. “Does it hurt you?” she cried; and then, in a slow, venomous way—“I am glad of it. Ah, how often you have hurt meP “Oh, mother-oh, mother!” cried Mar­ vel. in a sharp tone of passionate re­ proach, of unutterable misery; and she let her face fall forward into her hands. There wa* a moment’* dead pause after that wild, strange cry, nnd then all at once, and without an instant’s warning, there was a little rustle of Mrs. Scarlett’s gown; and instinctively Marvel and Wri­ othesley looked toward her. She was livid, ghastly. Her bands were clutching the back of a chair near her, and she was swaying from ride to Bide as one in mortai ogowr. The-guests staying at Grange Court faded away a* swiftly as shadows; the proscrice of death scared them, and, beaiclrs. their visits had drawn to an end. At last no one was left in the house save Sir George Torfnshend—who would not go in apite of all his lady love’s hints, who was disturbed by Mr*. Scarlett’s bad taste Id choosing her house as an hospital— Wriothealey. Marvel and the invalid. CHAPTER XXIX. All through the lonely silent watches of the night Marvel sat brooding beside the half-dead woman, ministering to her now and then, but always with her mind em­ bittered, despairing. Once or twice the nurse expostulated with her. entreating her even to He down upon the couch at the end of the room; but Marvel had refused, and sat there speech lew, wakeful, with pale set face and haggard eyes. At last the day broke. Marvel stood up aud drew aside the curtains, and (raxed out* upon the slow unwilling dawning of this wild March morning. A alight .round from the bed startled her. She closed the window swiftly but noheiesaly, and went back to her post. «he leaned over the invalid, and raised her head as usual, shaking up the pillows and then laying her tenderly down on them. But, when, having done this, she would the highway, a storm burst above their gown anti by a feeble hand detained her. “What In it?" asked Marvel, compell­ Ou the instant a ing herself to look at her, though a strong burned like living coals in her wan face, to Marvel’s—“that I lied to you. There was a marriage! I Heil .about it to revenge myself upon him, Wriothesley. But now. with death staring me in the face, I—1 haven’t the courage to----- Ye*, wa were married secretly, but surely. There is no doubt----- ” She broke off exhausted. “Is this the truth?” asked Marvel. Her face had grown colorleaa, her voice was cold and stern; she did not believe this last statement—she knew that she did not dare believe it. Were she to do so. only to find herself deceived, she felt that it would kill her. No, there was no truth in it. Such joy, such an almost terrible relief could not be for her. • “The truth—yes. Will you not believe? Why should I say this now?’ ' "The proofs!” said Marvel, in n strange, frozen tone. She would compel her to end tliis cruel farce. The feeble hands made a movement to­ ward her pillows. “Underneath,” she whispered, faintly; and Marvel, always as if in a dream, pass­ ed her hand under the pillows and drew out -u tiny bunch of keys. In one of her calmer moments Mrs. Scarlett had asked for them, and hod placed them herself be­ neath her bend; now she had not strength to draw them out again. . “My dressing case.” she said, pointing out oue of.the keys—“tj>e second tray.” Marvel crossed the room mechanically, oppued the dressing ctae and lifted the tray she had named. Some papers folded in H met her eyes; she took them out and {ipproached the bed. Her heart was boni­ ng now to suffocation. • “Open—read!" Mid the dying woman. Tt is my marriage certificate, nnd the certificate of your birth. Keep them; if I have injured you living, yon will remem­ ber when I am gone that 1 served you djung. Go—take them to him.” Marvel had fallen on her knees licside the bed. She was trembling violently when presently a cold, beautiful hand stole toward her and touched her. She caught it and drew it beneath her bent head, and pressed her lips to it in a pas­ sion of gratitude. She felt faint, uncer­ tain, frightened; but above and through all she was conscious of a great and glo­ rious freedom, a breaking of the vile bonds that had chained her to the earth nnd turned the very light of day into a sullen gloom. To go to him—to tell him— that was her first thought. Through the tumult of her conflicting emotions the slow, broken voice came to her as if it were the touch of sorrow that ever accom­ panies our joy. “Ybu said it once—that strange word— to me. It killed me, I think. Yet I would hoar it again.” She spoke with difficulty and vary indis­ tinctly, but Marvel understood. “Mother!” she whispered, and pressed the hand she held, and, stooping forward, kissed the pale mouth. CHAPTER XXX. Mrs. Scarlett was buried with all pomp and ceremony in the Scarlett vault some­ where in the heart of Surrey. Marvel was too prostrated to accompany her to the tomb, though some morbid desire to show her every respect urged her to do it; and Mrs. Verulam would not permit Wriothesley to go—there had been enough go«*p about her and him, she said. In the pastwhy revive it again? Marvel insisted on going into deep mourning; and then of course it was nec­ essary to take Cicely into her confidence. She had a theory that to be astonished at anything this age could show argued a weak intellect; but for once In her life she had to acknowledge heroelf as entire­ ly and stupidly amazed on hearing of Mar­ vel’s 1* rentage. the necessity of enlightening the world about it. It wa* imjwssible that Marvel should be allowed to live forever with a stigma resting on her name, a cloud of mystery surrounding her. Immediate steps should be taken to declare her real origin, which, if it had a rather unpleas­ ant flavor of secrecy about it, was never­ theless honorable; it would be a nine-daya wonder—nothing more. Something else would crop out even while the public gap­ ed and laughed aud whispered over it— something that would lie probably more piquant and would, therefore, obliterate it But where should Marvel nnd be go for those “nine days?' That was a question that troubled Wrinthealey. It was out of the question that ah•- should receive nnd he receive while the storm burst ami lasted;’he would not have her subjected to unkind comment or impertinent curi­ osity; and good birth did not give good manners, and there were many in their own world who would be sure to iusnlt and annoy her. To take her away for an indefinite time abroad—anywhere out of the hurly-burly of society—was his strong desire, but how to compass it troubled him. She had shown such a passionate determination to go nowhere with him on his first return that he hardly dared make mention of the idea again, or at least did not dare hope that a second request would receive a dif­ ferent answer. Aud time proved his fear to be true; she shrank openly from his suggestion and turned coldly from him when be made it, with a distressed expression in her great sorrowful eyre. “But it is no necessary!” be urged gent­ ly, battling against the sense of angry dis­ appointment that was filling him. “The • truth must be made known for your sake; and how can you stay here to face it. to be asked qoestiofis by the many vulgar miserable to think you must for a* few months have my companionship only?

' Concerning Hen’s Nest*. It Is a wonder to us often how It la that hens will consent to deposit thetif eggs in such filthy nests os are often seen among the class who do not keep fancy fowl*. They may have been "brought up to R,” and this may ac­ count for their apparent want of re­ finement, but the only excuse the own­ er of the bird* can hare Is lazineso. Filthy nests engender disease or sick­ ness, and the owner, from these two causes alone, loses far more than bo saves in time, by not attending to them property. The nest for laying hens should bd overhauled and renewed two or three times during the season, the boxes be­ ing whitewashed thoroughly as often; us Ls necessary, and fresh material be­ ing abundantly supplied. The nesta for sitting hens should be renewed every time a fresh batch of eggs is sat. By this means you need have bnt Mttle fear of lice, the great pest of the poultry-breeder. While fine hay, or fine, well-broirmi straw makes good nests, a very good neat can be mode with shavings from wood. Select only the thinnest and softest, and make the nest well with them. They can be lightly sprinkled with diluted carbolic - acid, to keep away Hoe, and, being very porous, will retain the smell and effect of the acid much longer than any other material _ Poultry World. We do not believe there is moch If any profit In sowing oata alone to be ent for green feed or for soiling. The oat crop is a very exhaustive 6ne, and even If cut green R leaves the soil in poor eondition for any other crop. But with peas the case is different. They really enrich the soil through-the nodules which grow on pea roots, as they do oa the roots of all leguminous jdants. But to sow peas alone is very unsatisfac­ tory. The ]>ea vines cannot hold them­ selves up, and as they fall ou the ground the vines are mildewed. Onethird weight of oats sown with peas will probably make the growth of each, about equal. There irtll be some poda with iK-tis in them on peas thua grown, aud when cut green for soiling tliese peas in their pods can be eaten without danger of hurting the stock fed by them. If some gypsum or land plaster is sown with this mixture R will great­ ly help the peas, ami will also be good for the oats by keeping the soil molsU~« Exchange. Why Potatoes Stain. Every farmer who cuts potaloes for seed, and also every housewife who removes the akin by peeling them, knows that the potato Juice Is sure to stain hands, and to rust knives dr other metal which comes in contact with *.

Thia may be due to the fact that It is the oxygen of the air which turns blood * bright red by rusting the Iron which blood ought to contain.

San Juan de Porto Rico has gone r. t. sAmtson. down under tbe destructive and deadly fire of the great guns of tbe battleships Iowa and Indiana, monitors Amphitrite and Puritan and the cruisers New York, Montgomery and Detroit. Admiral Samp­ son says in his official report to the Sec- slightly wounded in the squadron. No se­ rious damage to any ships resulted. The ancient walls and fortifications of the city that wA* founded nearly 400 years ago by Ponce de Leon crumbled be­ fore the matchless gunnery of the Ameri,can bluejackets as if they had been con­ structed of imper. and their defenders were either killed or wounded by tbe LOOO-pound shells from the thirteen-inch guns of tbe monitor* and battleships. Great breaches were shot through the wall* overhanging the bay, and the moni­ tors by working close to these were en­ abled to send their terrible broadsides right through the city itself. The fighting began right after sunrise Thursday morn­ ing. When the sentries in the ornamental boxes that adorn the sea wall of the town got their first glimpse of the sea their hearts must have junqted into their mouth*, for then? before their eyes, steam­ ing defiantly and majeMJcally past the old lighthouse toward the mouth of the harbor, were the eight floating engines of war. for whose coming they bad looked through weary and anxious night vigil*. The Iowa, with her biggest guns protrud­ ing from her forward turret, ami eager, impatient bluejackets gathered behind the breeches, waiting for the signal to shoot, Tbe ships glided into the hsrbor one after another, moving as noiselessly as Dewey ran the ba-tterio* of Corregidor when he stole upon Montrjo at Manila. Their decks were cleared for action, every gnn wax shotted ami every maa was at hi* station. As they wpred the mouth of the bay Admiral Rampsotf’s jdan of battle began to be apparent to tbe dazed and reemingly paralyzed, Spaniard*. The Iowa swung to port. beading directly for tbe oM-faah- BATTLE A' at the old castle with one of the Iowa’s twelve-inch guns. He did uot wait for tbe specific nigral to commence firing. “Remember tbe Maine” was devised to remind tbe seamen of tne treacherous murder at 200 of their fellows in Havana, and it was enough to precipitate the bom­ bardment of San Juan de Porto Rico. The lolva’s shell struck fair and plump, and a section of the castle Dearly as big as the side of a gunboat crumbled as ifthe ground had sunk under-it. The In­ diana cut loose one of her cannon at the same mark, nnd before the effect of the shot could be seen the Iowa had swung broadside to the fortification nnd emptied every gnn on her starboard side. » The shore guns began to reply. Half a dozen of them were fired nt the same time from the turrets of the castle, but tbe men on the battleships were not sure whether they were aimed at themselves or the Yale, three miles away. The Spaniards were poor marksmen, and Admiral Samp­ son was not long in discovering this fact. He moved the New Y’ork to closer quar­ ters. Her eight and six-inch guns, fired almost with the rapidity of Maxima, were soon pumping shot and shell into the for­ tifications with deadly accuracy and cx*ecution. The other cruisers followed the example of the flagship, raking the entire sea wall from end to end. The monitors began creeping closer and doser to the wall. The Puritan got within 800 yards of the castle, and at that range her big guns pounded one hole after another un­ til the ancient defense looked as if it would fall of its own weight. The Am­ phitrite did similar service at the other eud. The Iowa aud Indiana concentrat­ ed their fire on the castle until its de­ fenders were forced out and its guns *1'Icnced. At times for a period of five, and even ten, minutes smoke hung in such dense clouds that tbe Spaniards could not see the ships, nor could the Americana see the fortification*. Tbe gunners on the ship* did not need the wall* before their eyes to continue the execution which was begun with the first shot. They had the range of the wall. That waa enough for them, and their shell*, shrapnel and solid shot swept one position after another, de­ stroyed guns, exploded ammunition, crum­ bled bastions nnd killed Spaniard* just as if their targets were in plain sight. It is to the credit of the Spaniards who defended San Juan that they put up a gallant and even dogged resistance. They stuck to their gun* until they were de­ stroyed or disabled, and if their alm waa AID FOR DEWEY. Cruiser Charleston I* Ordered to the Philippine*. The Navy llepartnwnt ordered the cruiser Charleston, at San Francisco, to proceed *t once to Manila without wait­ ing for the City of Pekin. Tbe Charles­ ton is loaded with ammunition for Ad­ miral Dewey s squadron. It was consid­ ered advisable to get this ammunition to Dewey'as soon as possible that he may lx? prepared for any emergency. The cam­ paign in the Philippines is to be carried forward at tbe same time with the cam­ paign in Culm and Porto Rico. Troops are to‘be sent to Manila as soon ns they can go on. board the City of Pekin. The purpore is to send enough troops to Ma­ nila to take possession aud hold it. This “WILL 1 EVER FORGET IT?” Government will be responsible for order and peace in Manila. If 12,000 are not enough another 12,000 will be sent. Or­ ders were issued by Major Gen. Miles, di­ recting that all of the tsoops from the six States west of the Mississippi river, which hnd been intended for mobilization at Chickamauga national park and at Wash­ ington, D.

Key West special: The gunboats Wilmington and Hudson and the torpedo boat Winslow had n fight with the Spaniard* in the hjrbbr of Car­ denas, Cuba, Wednesday afternoon with the result that five American* were killed and a number wounded. The firing eontinned for thirty-five minutes, and was terrific. TbA Winslow was shot through and through. The little American fleet entered the harbor for the purpose of at­ tacking some Spanish gunboats which were known to be there. These latter, however, were uot discovered by the American force until the Spaniards oj>ened fire from a-masked battery. Look­ outs onboard could see the main batteries some mite and A half ahead, but had no thought of a masked battery.

Poem*.and *ongs were writ­ ten In hi* honor. Old Abe was bought for a bushel of corn. Afterward Bar­ num offered $20X)U0 for him; but of course, the offer was refused. Ills cap­ tor was nn Indian Mho found him in 1861 »n the Flambeau River. near the line twtween Ashland and Price coun­ ties in Wisconsin. The bird was young then, and the Indian sold him to Daniel McCann, of Eagle Point, for a bushel of corn. The bird's military experience began a few month* later. He whs given to a military company which bad just been ^organized by Capt. John E. Per­ kins for the Eighth Regiment. The eagle was sworn in by putting around his neck red. white and blue ribbons, and on his breast a rosette of the name colors. James McGinnis was made his attendant. The name of Old Abe was given to the eagle at Madison in honor of President Lincoln. The bird's fame spread quickly and even before they went to the front tbe men of Company C were known as Eau Claire eagles, and the Eighth Regiment, of which it was a part, was called the Eagles in honor of Old Abe. Old Abe was with the regi­ ment from the time it was mustered in, ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND READY. This Nnfflber of United States Troops On Saturday the War Department .re­ ported that there had been mustered into the service of the United States 75,000 volunteers. With the 25,000 regulars now In the field, this gives an available force of 100,000 ready for service. Constant additions will be made until the entire force’ of 125,000 volunteers and 70,000 regulars is ready. This will enable the administration to send armies of occupa­ tion wherever needed and to maintain suf­ ficient reserves for coast defenses. Every energy has been put forth by the War De­ partment to get in motion the army of oc­ cupation for Cuba. Haste is necessary in this instance so that the department may next get in readiness the second ex­ pedition for the Philippines. After that will come the army of occupation for Porto Rico. Because of the large number of Spanish troops in Porto Rico It Is very probable that at least 15,000 men will be sent in the first division and even a larger number may be necessary to bold the island. solid shot and shells hit all about the tor­ pedo boat.

He always announced tbe approach of the enemy by a note of alarm, and during the battle would hover in the air, watching tbe outcome of the contest. He became as famous among the Con­ federates as among the Union army. The men made him a rallying cry and the sight of the bird would give them new courage for battles So well wa* this understod that at the siege of Cor­ inth the rebel general Price ordered his men to seize or capture the bird, and he declared that he would' rather capture Old Abe than a whole brigade. But although wounded at the battle o£ Corinth and afterward before Vicks­ burg, as well as en route from Mem­ phis to Helena, he survived the war. Old Abe came home in 1864 with his company on a furlough. After his re­ turn to his native place, which Is now, known as Price County, it was resolved that he should be presented to hl* na­ tive State, and on Sept. 26 the com­ pany made the gift.

There are 1,200 islands In the Philip­ pine group, the greater number of which, however, are mere dots or islets. Inhabited by onlj a few families. In­ significant as are most of -these, the larger Islands are of very respectable dimensions, the total area of the entire group being 11G,000 square miles. The islands are all of volcanic origin and each has a mountain range. The larg­ est volcano on the islands is Mount the islands to be $32,000,000, while the Imports were $28,000,000, chiefly of rice, flour, wine, dry goods, petroleum and coal; the exports were of hemp and Its manufactures, sugar, coffee, tobacco leaf, cigars and Indigo. How greatly tbe amount of exports might be In­ creased under a propel form of govern­ ment which did not tax the energy and almost the life out of the people cannot Ik* conjectured, but It Is certain that with proper encouragement the Philip­ pine Islanders would become an Indus­ trious and wealthy people. smoking cigarettes and chewing betel nuL In tbe Interval of smoking they load and unload the vessels, most of the native population finding Its em­ ployment about the shipping, while those not thus engaged have all the oc­ cupation they want at their homes, In the manufacture of tbe coarse goods known as manilia bagging nnd sacking and in the making of cigars, of which many millions are annually exported to China and India. Manila affords the stranger many in­ teresting sights, not the least among which are tbe street cars. In which everybody—men and women—smokes. A car Is usually drawn by a single pony managed by two drivers. One beats the pony .and the other holds tho relua and blows a tin horu. On the rear plat­ form stands a pompous conductor, who collects a copper all around every time the car passes a section poeL These section poots are somewhat less than a mile apart. The conductor is particu­ larly careful to look after the due bal­ ance of a car, fore and aft. He will not allow more to stand on one platform than on the other. If there are eight in front and six In the rear, or vice versa, somebody has to stumble through the car from the heavier end to the lighter. This precaution Is necessary to prevent derailments. Other precautions still more necessary are omitted. Thus, a woman carrying a little small-pox pa­ tient is as welcome os any one else. The villages consist of collections of huts made of wattles and reeds, thatch­ ed with grass. The native naturally A Mixed People, The population of the Philippines is probably the worst mixed of any group of islands, even in that part of the world. Tbe islands lie about midway between the continents of Asia and Australia. The Negritos, or aborigines, are closely analogous to the natives of New Guinea and Australia. But the Negritos, long before the coming of the Europeans, had become an unimportant factor in the population, having been driven back into the interior and mountnlpous portions of the islands by" the Malays. When Magellan discovered the islands. In 1521. he found all tho coasts settled by Malays. But the Malay Indians by no means monopo­ lized the better parts of the islands, for among them there was a large admix­ ture of Chinese, Japanese, Hindus, Si­ amese and other Asiatic coast races and tribesZso that tho Malays them­ selves were a sort of composite race. To tbe present day the heterogeneonsness of th</i>opulation continues, and THE HARBOR although the Spanish have political control of the islands, only about 5,000 feels more secure in these than he of these foreigners^ anti they chiefly would In houses of stone, brick or wood. officeholders, are to be found on the en- Earthquakes and typhoons a" com­ mon.

There are few large riv­ ers, but many small ones. It rains con­ siderably in the islands nnd rainfalls are exceedingly heavy, a fall of eight inches in twenty-four hours having fre­ quently l»een noted. A torrid heat prevails all the year round. The mean annual temperature of Manila Is about 90 degrees, which in­ dicates that in summer the thermome­ ter stands above 100 regularly every day, and hugs the century mark pretty closely during the night. Even in what is called the'winter season a tempera­ ture of C5 to 85 degrees prevails, so that a Philippine winter would be deemed a tolerably warm American summer.

The city of Manila is a typical east­ ern metropolis. It is on the east side of a wide bay, which furnishes a toler­ able anchorage, but not a secure place of refuge for shipping. The city Itself is, as in most eastern centers of trade, divided into a new and an old town, tbe latter bring fortified with walls in me­ diaeval style, hnd containing ware­ houses, storehouses, offices and an enor­ mous native population, while the new town, much better built, with edifices more modern in style and construction, lies without the walls, A small stream, A Pill for the 111. ed are often very high, and their pay­ ment, which Is rarely shirked, may in­ volve the ruin of tbe losen PAID HIS BILLS IN FIQHT& Debtor Whip* a Landlord and Lawyer Until They Call It Even.

The war department ia bend­ ing afl its energies to remedying these deficiendes, but it takes time. It has eatablish a supply depot at Chickamau­ ga, and will probably have another at Washington.

Military men say this may take two or three weeks, but the government is applying Yankee energy to push the work as rapidly as possible.

They glanced now aud then nt the school house across the way nnd the graveyard beyond iL ••Wai!" said the oldest of them, a man with white hair and a white beard under his chin, “I don't see why we can’t hev some sort o’ celebration on Decoration Day ’a well 's other towns. To be sure, Jim Piper's the only soldier we sent to the wnr, but I reck'n that ain’t no reason why he shouldn't hev his dues. I hold we ought to hev some sort of n time this year." “I think so, too," said Jed Barker. “I sh'd think it would be a sight o' comfort to ol’ Mis’ Piper. I sh’d think she'd feel kind o’ hurt we ain’t never took no notice of her son—not even to put a flag on his grave." "I sh'd think she’d ’a’ done it herself if she'd wanted it," said tbe youngest man of the three. "She does put lilacs on tbe grave every year—but anyone ken hev them, if they ain’t died for their coun­ try. I ah'd want a flag on my grave—I know that." “Le’s see,” said Barker, “ol* Jim died ’bout two years after his son, didh't he?” “They was the most broke up couple I ever see," observed the old man. "when the news come about Jim's death down South; an’ the of man started right off for the body.” “An' they spent," said the young man. “nigh onto all tbe money they had laid by. gettin' of it home, didn’t they?" “Yes," said the other; "an’ we never heard much about it neither. Ye see, Jim’s regiment wa’n't near none of tbe other boys that went from these parts, an’ they didn't know nothin' ’bout it, nor jest when he was killed. It al’aya seem­ ed queer we didn’t hear more partic’lars. But .ye see them Pipers was al’aya a ter­ rible quiet set. Tbe coflln wa’n’t never opened, an’ there wa'n't no funeral to apeak of-r-ol’ Parson BoHes come from Ridgeway an' jest made prayer. I think ’twns sort of onebristian like." . Tbe three men got up and went into tbe small store. They had n long talk with Israel Bacon axul his wife. ^During the week they called on the rest of the people at the Corners. It was decided to have a celebration as they proposed. But it was not to I* till tbe afternoon of Me­ morial Day, for all wanted to go to West­ ham in the morning to hear the speeches •nd have lunch—then come back to the Corners towards evening and decorate the one grave. Memorial Day dawned fair and warm. The trees nnd the grass seemed greener than the day before; the birds sang blltbier; spring was everywhere. The lilac bushes waved their greenish purple plumes, and here and there in a sheltered nook the splendid purple sprays were in full blossom. Mra. Piper did not go to bed the night before. She sat by the window till every house in the village wns dark. Then sbt got up and lighted her lamp. She took It in her trembling hand and went slowly A.REANGIXG THE CEI.EBRATIOX. up the fitairs to the small room in the east gable—the room that had been Jim's. Mere she set the lamp upon the bureau— tbe room had not been changed for many yearo-nnd, taking a key from her pocket, opened the top drawer. In ft was a fad­ ed blue uniform, some worn shoes, a belt, a cap—all that had been brought home on the body of bw sou. She lifted them carefully from tbe drawer and placed them one by one upon tbe narrow lied, forming something like the affigy of a, when the nation pays Its tribute to who fought for the preservation of tlie Union, who suffered and slaved and sacrificed everything, even life, for the country they loved, brings to tbe attention of all patriots the fact that those who serve tbe nation are not forgotten. Tliough they have passed away, the boys who wore tbe blue ate remembered, and their graves are decorated by loving hands, that appreciate and respect and honor their courage and ser­ vices. It Is gratifying to know that each Memorial Day lessens the stings and sorrows of the wnr, bides the scars aud turns bitterness into sympathy. No more do we speak with unkindness of those who sought to divide the nation, who fought for slavery, and whose activity and perseverance cost us so dearly. The irritation and anger and bitterness of the conflict is passed, and while we honor those who preserved the natkn. we do not hate the others who thirty years ago were our enemies. We respect them for their bravery, remember that they are brothers.. We have forgiven them for their errors, and yet not forgotten the valor of our own soldiers who defeated tbe enemy. The nation is bound together forever and Inseparably. There Is no North and no South, nor is there a West or an East. This is the United States, one from many, and we sny "the United States Is" typifying tbe perpetuation of the Union by using the singular verb. We honor the dead and respect the Union and are filled with sorrow as each year passes and reduces the numbers of those who battled for liberty and union.

She sat on the chair by tbe bend of the bed, her head bowed in her hands, her elbows resting on the pillow by the side of tbe faded cap. One hour she sat there, two hours— three hours; her bead fell forward on the pillow, and she slept. When she awoke she ant for a moment and looked upon the bed: the clothes were hideous iu their shabbiness. She rose, put them back in MBS. PIPER'S MIDX1GHT VIGIL, the drawer, locked it, and put the key in her pocket. She sighed as she loft the room. Her year wns over—another year had begun. For thia was Mrs. Piper's New Year's Day—by thia day she had counted her timt for twenty years. She went downstairs, opened the door and went out. She went to her white lilac bush and gathered an nrmful of tlie blossoms. Tbe wet spray fell soft and refreshing on her witbeyd cheeks. She took one spray from the purple bush, and then went down the path, across the road, up to the graveyard, and straight to a lot in which there were two graves. The day proved a hot one. About 0 o'clock Mrs. Bacon called on Mrs. Piper. The two women sat talking f jt some time I by the window and looking rnt towards the graveyard. Tbe white li! ca had with­ ered and turned down dur g the day. Mrs. Bacon, at the faint sound of a drum, ] the signal agreed upon, asked Mrs. Pi­ per to go with her over to Jim's grave. Mrs. Piper got up with a weary sigh, and put on her black bonnet. Tbe two women sauntered across the road and up Into the graveyard. Presently tbe drum was heard again, thin time accompanied by the whis­ tle of a fife. Tbe woman In black trem­ bled and clutched her friend's arm. "What is It, Hannah?" she exclaimed. “I bear a drum and fife. What 1* It?" Mrs. Bacon seixed her friend's arm and whispered: “It’s tbe folks a-comin' to dec­ orate Jim's grave. They are goin' to hon­ or him like the rest of the soldiers.** Mrs. Piper gave <»ne gasp for breath and stood as white and still as a stone. Twen­ ty carriage*, or so, of all sorts and kinds, drove up in front of tbe school bouse; the people dismounted and formed the pro­ cession. First came Jed Barker, carry­ ing a big flag; then came two old men. one with a drum, one with a fife; and behind them four other men. one carrying the flag for tbe grave, and one the “piece” from tbe city. They bad all seen service in tbe war. Behind them came old Dea­ con Brown, and beside him the nrw minis­ ter from Westham, a young man with * fresh, bright face. Then came the people men. women aud children. The drum and file played “Marching Through Georgia" as they came up the path. As they enter­ ed the graveyard tbe music ceased. The people formed a ring about the grave and tbe two women standing by it. Tbe dea­ con made a prayer. The drum and fife wailed the dead march; the flag was plac- ■ ed at the head of the grave; the column, with its surmounting eagle, at the foot. The music ceased. Tbetainister stepped forward into the ringjKy the grave and spoke. He spoke of tno honor of war, of the splendor of victory, of tbe nobleness of giving one's life for one's country, of tbe saddened homes, of the joy of the mother in surrendering her son to her country, and closed by repeating the lines: "How sleep the dead who sink to rest. By all their country’s wishes blest, When spring----- " ’ "Don't, don't, I can’t bear it!" These words interrupted the minister’s low tones, and all eyes were turned frotu him to Mrs. Pi|>er, who stood, now alone, by the grave, her worn face grastly white in the fading yellow sunlight. "Don’t go on—I can’t l>ear it no mqre. Oh, Lord! how can I! My son Jim—my only son—he—he—I’ve been livin’ a lie these twenty years—an' makin' him out what he wa'n’t: be—he wa’n't killed in Imttle—how can I?—how can I?—he—he— he was shot for desertin’." The thin black figure fell upon its knees by the grave, the head bent forward over tbe little fluttering flag. The last rays of the setting sun came in under tbe trees upon the . hushed group. In those mo­ ments they realised it all—the grief, the, pride, the shame, tbe bitter secret of their neighbor’s life; and tbe hearts of the peo­ ple felt for her. A squirrel ran across tbe neighboring wall, a woodpecker tapped on a tree; the tiny flag spread itself in tbe breeze and flapped against the black bon­ net bent over it. The first human sound was the low voice of the minister repeat­ ing half unconsciously, "I am the Resur­ rection and the Life, saith the Lord." There was a stir among tbe people; slowly, with hushed breath, they filed out. Someone hit against the drum, the harsh noise making them all start The run “dox’t, dox't. i can’t bear ft!" sank below the horizon, and left three fig­ ures Standing by the deserted grave— the black figure bowed over tbe flag, tbe tall figure of tbe young minister, and the stooping, sympathetic woman friend. The friend whispered to the kneeling woman. She looked up, bent forward and pulled t)«e flag down from the grave, and, clasp­ ing it in her hand, was led slowly out of the yard. The three entered tbe darkening kitch­ en. Tbe minister said what few words, Andersonville, the Site of the Old Con* • federate Prison. Among lhe many places of Interest which surround Americus, Go., there is none' so historic in its character or of which so much has been.spoken and writ­ ten as Andersonville, the site of the old Confederate prison and the national ceme­ tery, In which He the remains of over 13,000 Union soldiers. It lies eleven miles northeast of Americus aud can be reach­ ed by rail or carriage. Tbe drive is a pleasant and picturesque one, tbe road winding among the hills and valleys and passing through forests of pine. Of the old prison pen, which was, in fact, noth­ ing but a stockade indosing thirty acres of land, through which runs Sweetwater creek, little remains. A few straggling half-rotted posts mark the line of the stockade. A few low earth­ works, upon which were mounted small field pieces, show where once were the gates. Here and»there are a few of the wells dug down into the hard red clay for shelter and in the hope of escape. Provldonee spring, which burst forth ju»t on the edge of the "dend line" and furnished fresh water for thousands of thirsty throats, still contributes its never failing stream to Sweetwater creek. The grounds are now the property of the Grand Army of Ute Republic, haring been purchased by the department of Georgia and turned over to tbe national encamp­ ment. Carriage ways and walks have been constructed through the grounds, and it is intended to erect a club house. Visitors occasionally pick up some relic of the thousands who were confined there, in the shape of a button, a buckle or a rusty canteen. The national cemetery, in which lie rep­ resentatives from every State in the Unioa and from almost every regiment, with its 13,000 white headstones resembling a great army of tbe dead, lies about half a mile from the prison grounds and is sur­ rounded by n brick wall. Tbe grounds are neatly laid out, tlx- walks are well paved, tbe lawns are kept nicely trimmed, while clumps of trees and shrubbery break the monotony of an almost level plateau. All but a few hundred of the graves are laid out in long, straight lines, with ave­ nues between, just as they were dug by the corps of irisonera who buried side by aide their dead brethren. A wonderfully correct record was kept by this corps, and it has been transcribed and is kept In the ofllce of the superintendent, who can in a few minutes point out the exact spot of any hue buried in the grounds. Near the center of the cemetery, apart from all the others, unmarked and unhonored, lie the remains of four prisoners who were contacted by their fellows of robbery and murder nnd were hung upon a gallows erected within the stockade. FATHER OF MEMORIAL DAY. Gen. John A. Logan Was the Inspira­ tion of the Observance. When the few gray-haired veterans of tlie great war for the Union met together in annual observance of Memorial Day, few bear in mind that the day itself os a part of the national life is the result of A woman's account of torture which lasted three years; of her struggles against the dreadful disease, and the goodfortune that crowned her efforts. Such suffering xs rheumatism ram** the victims upon whom it fastens itself is al­ most unendurable. Sufferers from the wont types of ths ter­ rible disease will supply the musing hor­ rors in the following story from real life.

Few, indeed, of those not associated with the organisation of old soldiers remember this. But sueh is the fact. Tbe soldier statesman who won his spurs In actual fight and refused to accept peaceful hon­ ors while the war was atill on, one of the first, if not tbe first, of the list of hon­ ored comrades who beaded that organiza­ tion, is the originator of the day of sor­ rowful remembrance of the bravery and virtues of those who fell in battle or who have crossed the river since tbe conflict ended. Few warriors of ancient or modern times achieved as great distinction and wou as high rank lu tlie service os Gen. Logon.

Leather must be of the yerj’ best before an ounce of it goes in­ to one of our harnesses. We want them to wear well, just as much as our customer^ do. because we realize that a sat Is fl led customer Is the best adver­ tisement. We want the kind of a reputation on our goods that if you sell a second-hand harness at an auction the fact that It Is a Walratb harness will make It bring five dollars more. We believe our goods have that kind of a reputation in this vicinity. You can always bauk on the quality of a Walwrath Harness.

Tbe bill per­ mitting officers of the regular army toaccept staff appointments in tbe Volunteer army without losing their rank or place­ in the regular service wa* also passed. An urgent deficiency bill, carrying >8.437,032, mostly for pension*, was agreed on by the House Commitee on Appropria­ tions, aud immediately reported to the House, which pasfed it without debate.

Dulcie Levesque is no mean rival, and Percy i» only a man!” “Juat so, Berta, and being a man be is Mrons enough to be trusted.” “You think so?' ' ' • “I am sure of it!” “I hope you may be rigbj. dear; but if he should prove weak enough to be tempt­ ed?’ “Then I should be strong enough to for­ get him, Berta; but your fears are ground­ less. I know Percy too well to doubt him.” “Willful Queen Esther, you must bare your way." The girl laughed as she got up. and lean­ ed her elbow on the low, wide mantel­ piece. Quceu Esther! Iu truth there was something queenly about this round-limb­ ed, frank-eyed English girl—something fresh, and pure, and stately, something that was far beyond beauty. Her sister, Mrs. Hardinge, looking up at her, felt this in a vague sort of way. She herself was a handsome, pladd wom­ an, with a splendid figure, which she drap­ ed to. perfection, and ui low, laxy voice which most men found charming. She had married early and well, to her own and her family's satisfaction. She was anxious that her ■ favorite sister should nuke an equally good and suitable choice, but the girl was intractable. “Esther,” Mrs. Hardinge said, present­ ly. “I wish you had not chosen to wear that white dress to-night As you stand there you would do for a frontispiece to Wilkie Collins' 'Woman in White.' " “Poor me!” Esther laughed. "Shall I ever please you, I wonder?' She swept across the room to the jardi­ niere and picked a deep red rose, with its pretty fresh leaves about it As* she was fastening it iu the bosom of her dress the door beside her opened, and a servant an­ nounced "Mr. Stanhope; Mr. Fleming." Just the faintest tinge of color crept into Esther Durrant's face. She turned and met the two men on the threshold. Mrs. Hardinge, comlhg slowly forward, watched her greeting of them curiously. “You are late, Hugh," she said to the elder of the two; “wo were beginning to despair of seeing you to-night." . "It is Stanhope’s fault. Mr*. Hardinge, that we have been so unfortunate as to keep you waiting. He made us both late for the 5:40 down train." Percy Stanhope—his eager eyes on Es­ ther Durrant's face—heard his friend's re­ joinder without defending himself. It had not been his fault wholly; but just then he did not care to explain that to their hostess. He had thought for nothing but Esther Durant's exquisite smiling face. How it had changed in the past few sec­ onds! The tender eyes were like stars, and a pale pink came aud went in the pure oval cheeks. The dinner was a success, as Mrs. Hardinge’s little dinners usually were. The master of the bouse was not present. He seldom was at home, in fact, and his ab­ sence was hardly regretted by Ids hand­ some, low-voiced wife. Perhaps he guess­ ed as much, and resented it. Perhaps he was as Indifferent to her as she was to him. Whatever the cause might be, Jas­ per Hardinge was oftener to be found at his rooms in London than in his luxurious house in Kent. . As the little party left the dining room Mrs. Hardinge first with Mr. FlemingPercy Stanhope put his hand on Esther’s arm and detained her. "Are you glad to have me back, Etty?" “Very glad, Percy!” The close-cut blonde head bent lower over the dusky one. “The time has seemed so long to me, my darling. I have chafed like a lion in •chains all these weeks. I-have not lived one hour worth the living since I left you! Only think, Etty, It will be three weeks to-morrow since I was down here!*1 The girl’s hand tightened’on his sleeve; her heart throbbing warmly under tlie dainty rose gave a great bound for joy. The man was her idol: she loved him as the “good love heaven.” He was, in her eyes, the noblest, the truest, the best of men. To have won his love was the crown of her life, and she often wondered bow she bad deserved such a gift. Tlie girl smiled up at him, a rapturous smile that had the shine of tears in it. “Will it last. Percy*' "While my life lasts, sweetheart’* She swept him a low. laughing courtesy, and opened tbe drawing room door sharply to find her sister buried among the cush­ ions of her chair by tbe fire, and Hugh Fleming standing by one of the side table*, examining a Sevres plaque as ifhe had the genuine “china fever" strong oa him. He was standing full in the light, and. as she came up to him, she was quite startled by the rigid pallor of hi* face. They were old friends, these two, had been bon* comrade* for year* before, when Esther wa* a tiny child, iu short frocks and sashes. “Are yon ill to-night. Hugh?.' she ask­ ed, pausing beside him. “III? No! What a question!" “But you look so pale! Do tell me; have you been hearing anything to trouble you?" For an instant his keen eyes looked down into her*. Then he turned away with a ifinfie. “I have heard no new* of any sort, good, bad or indifferent, and I am ns well as the average human being ever ia, 1 be­ lieve." “Bather!" Percy Stanhope called out He was sitting on a low stool almost at Mrs. Hardinge'* feet. He affected these low seats and careless attitudes, and some­ how they became him. “Is It true that Mis* Levesque ia com­ ing here on a visit?’ "Perfectly true. I expect her to-mor”"!* that the nieee of old Durer I>evsaque of Lombard streets?' Hugh Flem­ ing asked. “Yes.” Esther replied. “Don't you re­ her? She came home with me from school one summer, and yon told Dick that you thought her a horribly ugly little thing. Because Dulce has lout her money, Berta thinks her the most miserable of girls! I am sure Dulcie her­ self would not agree with her." “But Durer Levesque was reported to be immensely rich, and I understood that he bad adopted his niece.” “Yes, he did adopt her, but that failure of Fenton's has ruined him almost, and Dulcie will not have a. farthing now." “Ah,” Percy Stanhope said, with a shrug, “now I understand! I bad not he*rd of old Durer’s ill fortune! You may well say poor Dulcie, Mrs. Hardinge.” . “She is poor, utterly, hopelessly poor," that lady repeated, placidly. “She talk­ ed of going’out as e governes*, but Es­ ther-would not hear of that. She comes to us instead for a time. It will be very trying for me to have two young women to chaperone; but Esther I* so willful one must give her her way." Hugh Fleming, looking down at Esther, felt his heart throb: somehow this tall, beautiful girl, with her “talking eyes,” had quite a knack of disturbing, it. A little while afterward, when Mrs. Hardinge and Hugh were deep in a game of cards, Esther stole away to one of the bay windows, to which retreat Percy was not long in following her. He laid his check against hers, holding her tightly in hi* strung arms. He had told her the simple truth. He loved her —passionately, almost fiercely—as it was in his nature to love. He had loved other women before her, but never quite with the same love. Just a* she herself was different from those other women, the love he offered her was different from that which he had given to them. “And you were actually getting jeal­ ous," he whispered tenderly. “You did not wait for cause. Yon took my faith­ lessness quite for granted.” “I did not. It wa* Berta.” “I have nothing to do with your *ister. Jasper Hardinge must cultivate her organ of faith, if she ha* one. It Is your doubt­ ing that grieves me; and you did doubt, so don’t deny it. How shall I punish you for it?’ “By proving me to have been wrong!” He looked fondly into the beautiful face lying against him-arm. "Esther, you don't know how I love you. You have no more idea of the strength of my love than a Laplander could have of the heat of the tropics. You are more like a beautiful white statue than a woman. I sometimes wonder if you have a heart." "I have not," she answered, “unless"— hiding her cheek against him—“you have given me yours!” He laughed, a proud, happy laugh, which Hugh Fleming heard plainly and tbe sound made him drop his cards in a heap under Mrs. Hardinge’s eyes, much to her secret amusement. "You have had that, my dearest, a year or more," Percy rejoined. CHAPTER II. It was on a wild, windy day in March that Dulcie Levesque first saw The Elms. The gentlemen were out riding, Mr*. Hardinge had gone to see a friend and had not returned, and Esther herself drove the pony carriage to the station for Dulcie. / At sight of Esther she gave a *mile of relief, and stood back to allow a gentle­ man behind her to get out. He paused to help her afid her wraps on to the platform, then with a bow he turned and walked out of the station. Tears of delight were in Esther Dur­ rant’s eyes as she held out both bauds in welcome to her favorite. “It Is good to see you again," she said, looking down into the small face that dim­ pled aud Hushed all over at the warmth of her welcome. “What a cold jouraey you must have had, and"—with a long, critical glance—“bow well you are look­ ing!" Dulcie laughed, nnd lifted her shoulders daintily. • “It wa* dreadfully cold, and oh"—with a little moan of distress—“1 am half fam­ ished, Etty.” “Poor girl! I'll drive you home as fast as I can.” Tbe 'gentlexnan who had been Dulcie's traveling companion stood on the side path, talking to a smart groom in livery. He stepped back to make way for the girl* as they came down, and then Esther Durrant saw hi* face clearly for the first time. She dhf not know him; ho was a stranger to her. He was talking to a groom of Lord Harvey's, so perhaps he was a visitor at Abbeylands. They were always having visitor* there *ince Lord Harvey’s return. “What a handsome face!” she thought, as she just lifted her eyes to it in pass­ ing. They were going briskly along between the bare hedges, and past little patches of wooded land, and tiny ponds that looked dark and sullen in the cold March light. Here and there tbe huge Wack arms of a mill whirled round to the lash of tbe high wind, a grotesque blot against tbe sky. The tree* were leafless, the field* bare, and little heaps of dust and leave* went wheeling and tossing along the dry, rough road. This dust troubled Dulcie horribly. It made her cheek* tiugle and her eyes smart. "See!" Esther said, after a pause, draw­ ing up her ponie* by the side of the hedge. "That is Abbeyland*!” She rose a little nnd pointed with her whip across the fields to a house that stood on a slight eminence fronting the south, with the red glifet of the March sunshine on all It* windows—a huge, ir­ regular block of buildings, turret-shaped as to the center, branching out into long, fifty, stone-fronted wing*, and with that h*lo of old days about .it so dear to Eng­ lish hearts. “The Harvey* have lived there for ages. A flue place, is it not?' Dulcie was using her eye* industrious­ ly, and she, too. thought it “a fine place." “No wonder Lord Harvey is proud," 1 said, taming to smile on tbe *mall figure beside her, muffled from chin to toe* iu a traveling ulster af peart-gray frkae. “You don't suppose that you would be a aksde happier in a htg house like that than you might l>e in a small one." Dulcie leaned back and smoothed the hair out of her eye*. It was a trick she had, and there wss someth!ug quaint and childish in the action. Soft, curling ring* of hair they were that crept from under the brim of her plush hat and lay lovingly on the round, wide, white temple*. "You don't understand,'' she said; "you are *o-different from me, and from every one cl*c, I think.” They passed a few more barren fields, then drure through a Wt of rough, thor­ oughly Kentish lane, with high banks on either aide, where snowdrops, pale and golden primrose*, were hiding, and pres­ ently came to the wide, low gate* of The Elms. "What a funny house!" Dulcie cried, springing down, and shivering a little un­ der all her wraps, for the sunshine had died out by then, and the wind was rising keener and stronger. “It seems all win­ dows. And oh, Etty, what a splendid old ehn!" “That Is quite a famous tree.’Dulcie: I must introduce you to it presently. But come, hurry in now. Have you forgotten that you are hungry?’ “No, that I have not. It is a very pleas­ ant want, I can assure you." When Mr*. Hardinge came home, she found the two girl* in Esther’* room, lounging back in low cbaits before the fire, and talking as girls only can when they have known each other for years, and have Ijeen parted for a while. A rosy light from the west came in through the wide window, and mingled with the red glow of thq fire. "Esther,"'Dulcie said presently, laying her cup down and looking across at her friend with a smile in her eyes, “what alxiut this lover of youra? Is it quite true that you are engaged?’ *“I believe so.” The girl’s face flushed so hotly as she said it that the smile deepened percepti­ bly in Dulcie’s eye*. “Well, tell me about him, dear." “Oh, there is nothing to tell, Dulcie! I—yeally---- ” stammering. "You are in love with him, I hope?’ "Of course—" with a little stare of sur­ prise and a hotter blush than ever. Then Esther rose, and going to a little fancy box on the dressing table, she took from it a large silver locket attached to a chain. “That is his likeness," she said, softly, coming back to the hearth, and laying the locket open on her friend’s hand. As Dulcie leaned forward to examine it, Esther slipped down on the rug nt her feet, and with her elbows on her knees looked up at her. A* she looked at her, a great surprise came to her. Dulcie's face had changed at sight of that pictured face, in its plain silver setting, till Es­ ther half wondered if her own eyes were not playing her some trick. It could not be, she thought, that Dulcie’s face had really looked like that. It was some shadow of the firelight that had deceived her eyes for an Instant. Surprise—dismay—anguish swept over the piquant, blooming face, which the red fight showed out so plainly. The bloom all died out of It; the arch look faded. In their place came a stony pallor, a rigid look that was woeful. At last she looked np, ami caught Es­ ther’s surprised eye* watching her. She smiled'wanly, and held np her hand, as if to shield her face from the fire-glow. "He is good-looking, Etty. I don’t think I ever saw a handsomer face." "But he is better than that,” Esther irnswered, with fond, shy pride in her lover. "He is so noble aud faithful, and—and— tender, Dulcie!” Dulcie shivered a little. “Is he, my darling? I am very glad. He could hardly be too good for Queen Esther," softly smoothing the fair cheek so close to her own. . And tK-n, laughing a little harshly—"I only hope he is not a veritable King Ahasuerus to your Esther! He did not have another queen before you. did he. Etty?" "I don’t understand you.” "You remember—don’t you?—that King Ahasuerus had put away one wife be­ cause she had a will of her own l>efore ever be took unto himself the fair Jewish maiden!” “Percy never bad a wife.” “No"—with a mocking laugh; "but he may have had a sweetheart, Etty." “I think not. I am sure not!"—a little coldly, rising and putting her locket care­ fully back into its case, Dulcie answered nothing to that. She seemed suddenly to have grown quite chilly, for she crouched forward nearer the fire, with her elbows on her km*es. and her chin buried In her little pink palms. Once or twice she closed her eye* ax if they smarted, and ft even seemed as if there were a line of moisture on the long fringes. Bnt that could scarcely have been, for Dulcie had often boasted that she had cried an little in her life as “If she had been a boy." Presently Mrs. Hardinge came back for her tea. The gas wax lighted, and the talk went on again briskly; but never once wa* Esther’s lover mentioned. Dulcie's boxes had been taken into Es­ ther’s room, and the two girl* dressed to­ gether. Mrs. Hardinge—her own toilet madi'—came back to superintend their*, quiet as usual, but critical. “What dress must I put on to-night. Berta?’ Esther a ski'd, turning round—a gleaming white vision. Imre-armed aud bare-shouldered—from the gia**. “Your blue cashmere, I think, and I’ll lend you a ruby fun; it will go nicely with It." “Blue and ruby?’ Esther laughed. “You are determined I shall not lack color to­ night, Berta." Meanwhile little Dulcie wax busy pick­ ing out from tbe well-packed boxes the dress she wanted. When.it was laid out on the bed Mrs. Hardinge'* quick eye took nute of it It did not please her. perhap*, for a kind of pucker came'-.between her dark, straight brow*. Yet it was a very pretty drex*. It was of Genoa velvet; the darkest tint of green —it looked almost black in some lights— soft rich, exquisite to touch and sight. The bodice was cut very low, with tight sleeves reaching to the elbows, and there were the prettiest lace trimmings about .the bosom, and falling loose and light about the dimpled arms. Esther called out in delight at sight of ft—or rather Dulci* In it—for it wa* the girt that she admired more than tbe drew. “You are a perfect picture, Dulcie! Even I did not know you were so beautiful! Aud you look w quaint, too.*’ in a low chair by tbe Are, Percy Stanhope at tbe grand piano, playing snatches of Weber, and fragments of “Songs With­ out Words." Both rose a* the ladies entered, and both pairs of eye* turned instinctively toward lhe little figure that followed Esther, "looking smaller than usual.even by con­ trast, Hugh Fleming wa* the first to be Intro­ duced to Dulcie. Then Percy Stanhope camo forward slowly and stood before her. “Mr. Stanhope—Dulcie! My dear friend, Dulcie Levesque—Percy," Esther Durrant said in her low, clear voice. And Dulcie lifted up her eyes and lock­ ed into Percy Stanhope's face for one fleeting half second, a* he bent hl* blonde head over the hand she offered him. Esther did not look ju*t then at either of them. Her breast was beating fast, her cheeks were flushing, she wa* so proud of this lover of hers. If she had looked this is what she would have seen during that half second. A spasm of pain on the man’s lip*; a bitter curve on the woman’s, a shadow of fear in tbe man’s eyes, a glow of scorn In the woman’s. (To be continued.) KIPLING’S FIRST SPEECH. The Author Ha* at Last Appeared in a Banquetins Hall. v. While all of England and half of America are going wild over Rudyard Kipling's books, the author himself ia skulking away in some small country town doing all in his power to avoid the public and the honors that are ready to burst upon him If he could only be found and brought out Into so­ ciety a few times. During his sojourn In India be has evidently imbibed tbe spirit of the king of tbe jungle who de­ lights to creep forth at night, commit Ids depredations, and then steal back into the shade, leaving the villagers to wonder at tire stupendous character of his work. Rudyard Is quite' willing that iK*opIe should read his books, but they must let him alone. Society lead­ ers in London have tried every conceiv­ able plan to get him out, but all to no avail. The Duchess of Devonshire spread her net, but in vain. Mrs. George Cnrzon tried to arrange a meeting of Mr. Balfour and Mr. Kipling at her house, but Rudyard did not go. Liter­ ary clubs of every description have showered their invitations upon him, but he hns always replied “no." In spite of all his disdain for social functions, and after having declined proffers that most literary men would have been glad to have had the oppor­ tunity to accept, Rudyard has at last appeared at a banquet. He has recited one of his poems and made an after­ dinner speech. The surprise is tiiat he was not induced to come forth from his solitude by any literary, scientific^ or aristocratic pressure, but at the so- ■ licitation of a plain every-day doctor of medicine to whom the author had some years ago taken a fancy. Government’* Old Gold Business. Hard times can be pretty well esti­ mated by the amount of gold jewelry, old plate, and trinkets, says Director of tbe Mint Preston, presented at the government mints. During the period of extreme depression -the amount of metals purchased by the government reached high figures, but in the post year It has dwindled considerably. At the approach of the holiday season the Jewelry sent to mints to be sold in­ creases in large proportion compared to the quantity sold in the dull season. Soon after New Year there is usually a heavy Installment at tbe assaj of­ fices and mints. • Within the past week a pair of gold bracelets, which cost $50, were sent to the mint bureau here to be sold for the gold in them. Th?lr owner said he could not keep them, as he required the money, aud asked D. rector Preston to dispose «>f them at whatever value they might bring. The bracelets, ou l»eing melted down, wen* shown- to contain $17 worth of pure metal. From 1873 down to last year the amount of money paid out by the gov­ ernment for old gold, plate and Jewelry has steadily Increased. Tie* high-water mark was reached In 1391, when the government paid out for plate and Jew­ elry $4,035,710. The Philadelphia mint melts nine-tenths of tbe plate and Jewelry presented to the government. Payment is generally male hi g«4d when the jewelry is of that metal— Chicago Inter Ocean. Size* or Human Heart*. "It is customary to assert that wom­ en are more apt to love than men, and that they love with greater passion." said tlie physician. "But, nevertheless, if the heart has anything to do with it, the greater love should be that of the man. “For a woman’s heart is not so big as that in" the male breast. Men have larger hearts. The'average heart of a man weighs from ten to twelve ounces, while the average heart of a woman weigtis two ounces less.

INCREASE IN WHEAT ACREAOE AMERICA’S TRADE WITH SFAHU Dciurtcent of Agriculture KtotUtlcian Makaa a Report. The May return* to the statistician of the Department of Agriculture show tbo acreage in winter wheat to.be 5.7 per cent greater than the acreage last year, tbe comparison being not with the acreage harvested in 1897, but with that sown in the fall of 1896. While there is an increase of 28 per cent in Kansas, a more or less marked in­ crease in every Eastern and every South­ ern State, and some increase also on the Pacific coast, the large expansion thus indicated is to some extent offset by a decrease of 2 per cent in Indiana, 3 per cent in Ohio, 12 per cent iu Iowa, 13 per cent in Missouri and 16 per cent in Illi­ nois; The reduction in area iu these last named States is due to the fact that the fall of 1896 was one of tlie finest seeding seasons ever known, wbereas that of 1897 wa* one of the most unfavorable, The average condition of winter wheat is 86.5, against 80.2 on May 1 of last year. In the nine States with 1,000,000 acres or upward in thi* product the averages are as follows: Kansas........................ 105 Pennsylvania.................................... 96 Michigan and Tennessee, each......... 95 Missouri................................................... 88 Indiana..................................................... 87 IIHmU........................................................ 86 Ohio............................. :............................ 82 California................................................. 26 Correspondents agree In reporting the crop of California to be one of tbe small­ est ever raised in the State. On tbe other hand, the crop of Kansas bids fair to be the largest in Its history. The proportion of spring plowing usual­ ly done by May 1 is 75.8 per cent of the whole amount Tbe proportion done this year by that date I* 72.4, against 61.9 last year. Among the States in which plowing is usually advanced are New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Iowa, Ne­ braska, Wisconsin, Minnesota and North Dakota. Among those in which it ha* l»een delayed by unfavorable weather are Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri and South Dakota. In Kansas the pro­ portion done up to May 1 was 12 per cent below tbe average. In Missouri it was 16 per cent and ki Illinois 19 per cent. Cotton aad Tobacco Are KxchangMt for Fruits, Nats and Wine, Following tbe bulletin Iwued by the Agricultural Department last week oar the general trade relations of Spain with the rest of the world from 1816 to I860, the dcgiurtToent issue* another on our trade relation* with Spain from 1888 to 1897. According to the first of theae bul­ letin* our trade with Spain during the fiscal year 1897 fell off more than $1,­ 000,000, though in Use same period it largely in erased with all other European countries. Our trade- with Spain, al­ though subject to minor flnetuatians, ap­ pear* to have been gradually xlirinking for about fifteen years. It attained it* maximum development in 1883, when tl>a combined import* and export* reached a value of $24,725,682, or more than $10,­ 000,000 ia excess of the present figures. The returns for 1897, with the single exception of those for 1895, which fell to $14,501,195, were the lowest recorded since 1878, twenty years ago. The aver­ age value per annum for the last five yean, 1893 7, amotmted to >16.240,588, us against $18,305,404 for tbe five year* Immediately preceding. Qjtr trade balance* with Sjmin has been normally* 3 to 1 in favor of the United States. In 1897 this balance amounted to $7^580,772. The falling off In trade seems to have affected exports and imports equally, so the ratio remains tmehangeth Tbe Iralk of our exports to Spain ano agricultural products, and these have in­ creased from 75 per cent to over 86 per cent in the last decade. Cotton and to­ bacco form more than 90 i>er cent of our agricultural exports to Spain. Our Spanish imports are also chiefly agricultural, but these have steadily de­ creased from 65.01 per cent in 1888-92 to G2.G9 per cent in 1893-7. Fruits, nut* and wine form 85 per cent of our Spanish im­ ports. NATIONAL VOLUNTEER RESERVE Grand Organisation of Five Million Men Is Proposed. A plan for tbe formation of a national defense auxiliary to the regular army and militia, presented by W. D. H. Washing­ ton, a collateral descendant of George Washington, has been enthusiastically adopted by tbe surviving leader* of both •ides in the last war and indorsed by tbe President, cabinet officers, Governors of States and military and naval leaders who cotdd not with propriety give their official indorsement The general plan of the or­ ganization is to enroll every able-bodied man within proper age limits wbo is will­ ing to take up arms iu defense of hi* coun­ try in case nn enlistment beyond the resources of the present instituted mili­ tary forces is necessary. It is estimated that there are 5,000,000 men who will CUT CABLES UNDER FIRE. Blanco Entirely He parotid from Span­ ish Powers Outside of Cuba. A few hours before the Winslow was caught in the Spanish trap off Cardenas four boat*’ crew* of men from the Mar­ blehead and the Nashville went through a somewhat similar experience off Cieufuego* on the opposite aide of Cuba. Th« fire that rained on them wa* from a thou­ sand rifle* nnd machine guns handled in rifle pit* on the beach less than 900 feet from where the boats lay, and the record is two killed, two mortally wounded, and four seriously wounded of the forty wbo were in the boats.

At the recent Foetal Congress at­ tention was called to the fact that twothirds of all the letters which pass through the postofflees of the world are written by and sent to people who speak English. There are substantially 500,000,000 persons speaking colloquial­ ly one or another of the ten or twelve chief modern languages, and of these about 25 per cent., or 125,000,000 per­ sons, speak English. About 90,000.000 speak Russian, 75,000,000 German, 55,­ 000,000 French, 45,000,000 Spanish, 35,­ 000,000 Italian, and 12,000,000 Portu­ guese, and the balance Hungarian, Dutch, Polish, Flemish. Bohemian, Gaelic, Roumanian, Swedish, Finnish, Danish and Norwegian. Thus, while only one-quarter of those who employ the facilities of the postal departments of civilised governments speak, as their native tongue, English, two-thirds of those who correspond do so In the En­ glish language. This situation arise® from the fact that so Large a share of the commercial business of the world is done In English, even among those who do not speak English as their na­ tive language. Though 90,000,000 speak or understand Russian, the busi­ ness of the Russian post department Is relatively small, the number of let­ ters sent through the Czar's Empire amounting to less than one-tenth of the number mailed In Great Britain alone, though the population of Great Britain Is considerably less than one-half ot the population of Russia In Europe. The Southern and Central American countries, in which either Spanish or Portuguese Is spoken, do comparative­ ly little postoffice business, the total number of letters mailed and collected in a year lu all the countries of South and Central America and ttie West Indies being less than In Australia.— Philadelphia Record, . When Spectacles Were New. In the days when spectacles were in­ troduced the world was not all wise. Glasses became so fashionable that peo­ ple did not wait until necessity com­ pelled them to adopt the new custom. Whether their eyesight was bad or good, those who would lie stylish wore spectacles. In Spain they formed part of the costume of every well-dressed person. The object of the wearer in putting on glasses was to Increase the gravity of his appearance and render himself more directly imposing. A young monk who had. tbrough the assistance of bls family, caused his order to succeed in an important lawsuit, felt himself lib­ erally rewarded when the prior, having embraced him warmly, testified his : gratitude by saying: "Brother, put on j spectacles." The glasses of spectacles were pro-1 portioned In size, not to the eyes, but to the rank of the wearer, those worn by the Spanish nobles being ns large ns one's hand. The Marquis of Astorga, viceroy of Naples, after having had his bust sculptured lu marble, particularly enjoined the artist not to forget his beautiful spectacles.—Youth's Compan­ ion. log brr«pit,/f> Doei-a't “What a horrible little thing into her arms, and kisaed her He had In-en st>r.d!T-g quire dose to her on both cbaeks, and then uu the quivering »r the last tew mlimtaa.

Washington special: Tbe Navy Department has official and positive information that tbe Spanish fleet is at Santiago de Cuba, and,that tbe American warships are on guard to pre­ vent Rs escape. A cipher dispatch from Commodore Schley was received nt the Navy Department stating that he is off Santiago, guarding the harbor entrance, to prevent the escape of the Cape Verde fleet In his message Commodore Schley gave the source of tbe information that came from him about Cerrera’s presence 4a Santiago bay, but it is understood that CARDENAS ALMOST WRECKED. The Hudson’s Smokestack. This is bow the smokestack of the Hud­ son looked when that battered gunboat returned to Key West after the fight at American Attack. Ernest Castro, a Cuban refugee, who was in Cardenas on the day that the Winslow was injured in trying to capture a Spanish gunboat, arrived in Key West, haring been picked up off Cardenas. It will bc^mnembcrcd that the motive for the. attack was a desire to capture three little gunboats which had been trying for several days to lure the American ships into the mined channel* of Cardenas har­ bor. The fire that riddled the Winslow did do: come from a masked battery, as wa* supposed, but from a gunboat. Ac­ cording to Castro, the other two gunboats were on the other side of the point, with their guns trained through the tree*, which concealed them from the sight of the approaching American*. These two boats, be says. were destroyed by the Wilmington’s fire. Most of their crews were killed or wounded. Castro says that the port pf Cardenas along the water fa almost totally wrecked. All the wharves pre burned, and the Spanish casino, a large building need as the headquarters of the infantry, was also destroyed. The troop* and citixcns all fled from town. niDDEKD BY SrAMIRH SHOTS. Thirteen soldiers were killed by one shell Cardenas. This was the engagement a* they fled along tbe street. The sup­ during which the Winslow was crippled position was that the Americans were at­ and Ensign Bagk*y killed. tempting a landing, and after tbe ship* ceased firing the soldiers returned to stand them off.

He wouki have to take bls ileet out in aingle file and be able to use only his forward guns, while the ships waiting outside could pour broadsides into him as he made the run.

Havana advices by way of Jamaica nay thnt the Spanish troops in Cuba are dis­ heartened, and openly express a wish that SANTIAGO DE CUBA. The Santiago bombardment which oc­ curred Wednesday, May 18, is explained as follows: The St Louis, acting under orders, proceeded to cut the cable at Santiago and Guantanamo. The San­ tiago engagement was lively. The Wampatnek accompanied the St Louis and he cable was picked up within range of he Spanish gun* on Morro, which opened ire, followed by two sand batteries and •ne mortar battery. The men coolly hau­ led the cable on tl»e forecastle of tbe St. a»uIs during the entire engagement. The 3t. Louis replied with her total armament of four G-pounder* and with the Wampi* tuck’s one 3-pounder finally silenced nil but two or three guns. Neither American boat was damaged seriously. The St. Louis’, topmast backstay was shot away and the Wampatuck’s pilot house was slightly splintered. One man on the St. Ixmia bad a finger broken by the flying fragment* of a shell while handling the cable. When work on the cable had been. properly finished the boats proceeded twenty mile* eastward to Guantanamo, where the cable was again picked up and cut. Tbe batteries there opened fire, but being smnll and poorly handled, were in­ effective. Two well placed shot* from tbe St. Louis secured comparative quiet and the cutting of the cable was then peace­ fully finished. The officers and men were jubilant American victories will cause Spain to abandon Cuba, and allow them to return home. Marine insurance companies are great­ ly agitated over Spain's new threat of privateering. France is worrying over the possibiHty of an alliance between Great Britain and the United States. All our revenue cutters hove been un­ der fire in Cuban waters and have proved their great usefulness. Several of the cannon captured at Ma­ nila will be scut to Annapolis Academy to be added to the trophies.

The Philippine insurgent chief Aguinaklo baa issued a proclamation to his followers at Manila to obey tbe orders of Admiral Dewey. COULDN’T BLUFF DEWEY.

Indications are that the wheat crop of 1898 will be the greatest in the history of tbe country. From figures thnt are being collected and compiled by some of tbe big Chicago firms, baaed on the reports of experts'in every section of tbe country, tbe oncoming wheat crop ia estimated to exceed 650,000,000 bushels. All tbe con­ ditions are reported as being of the most favorable nature, and while there is a decrease in acreage the total yield will be more than double that of 1897. Kansas looms up as tbe banner State this yea*, an increase of 28 per cent in the acreage haring been reported. Esti­ mate* oq tbe yield vary all the way from 70,000,000 to 100.000,000 bushels, while tbe combined crop of Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma 1s estimated at 160,000,­ 000 bushels. Of this 30.000,000 to 40,­ 000,000 busbels is credited to Oklahoma aud Kansas will have 80,000,000 to 90,­ 000,000 bushels. As compared with the planting ia Illi­ nois in the fall of 189G, there has been a decrease of 16 per cent in the acreage, but in spite of this the conditions iu the Sucker State are about the same m in Missouri, and the apparent decrease in acreage is discounted t>y the amount of wheat that was plon-ed up in the spring of Inst year. Tiro 1897 crop in Illinois amounted to a little less than 10,000,000 bushels, whereas It Is generally conceded that this year’s crop will l>e nearly, if not fully, treble, or between 25,000,000 and 30.000,000 bushels. Texan will have a 20.000.000 bushel crop. Never before has the wheat looked so fine in the Lone Star State as k does now. The harvest will tie unusually early, and agents writing to their houses here reporUtkat a great part of the crop will be harvested and ready for shipment in June. If any conxklernble amount of wheat comes in from Texas during June this, together with what will |>e received from other Southern States, will have a markedly bearish effect on the July wheat market. Indiana will come to the front with a crop of 43.000,000 bushels. This is nearly 17,000,000 bushels better than last year’s crop of 32,600.000 bushels, while the Governmeut reports show a decrease of 2 per cent in the acreage planted this year.

There are political as well as military reasons for this step. The administration still looks for a sud­ den col hiime of the war by proposals of peace on the part of Spain, mado under the thin guise of European intervention. The administration has determined that Porto Rico must be one of the fruits of victory, but to bring that about it is deem­ ed necessary that the United States should effect a landing in tbe island be­ fore the treaty of peace.

When the scalp is starved the hair dies at the roots. What’s the matter with your hair ? It gets dry, harsh, brittle, dull of color, the ends split. You wash it and brush it, but it still comes out. It’s hungry! If washing and brushing would stop starvation, then all" the expense of a horse’s keep would be n sponge and a currycomb. Hunger needs broad, not a bath. That is why AYER’S Hair Vigor Prevents Baldness It supplies the requisite nourishment for the hair, and the hair grows. It restores the tone of the scalp and so induces the secretions of the fol­ licles that the coloring matter is renewed and fading hair regains its natural color, dandruff dis^jpears, and the hair becomes thick and glossy. Men and women whose abundant hair is the envy and admiration of friends, admit that they owe it to Ayer’s Hair Vigor. ** Last winter I discovered a bald snot on my head as large as a silver dollar. A few ap­ plications of Ayer’s Hair Vigor started a healthy growth of hair, and in a short time lha disappearance of the bald spot was a subject of wonderment to my friends and pleasure to myself.’’ A.

Um Maa Judging from the present outlook this section of Michigan will have one of the heaviest fruit crops everknown. Apple, peach, plum and pear trees are laden with fruit and if proper at­ tention has been given to spraying there is no reason why there should not be an abundance of all kinds of fruit. The experience of a postmaster in a neighboring county is expressed as follows: “He toiled all day and did some spinning, wherein he differs from the Hiles of the field. He told a little girl she couldn’t mail her kittie. He showed a little boy how to lick a postage stamp. He explained to an old maid that it took five cents posHe explained to a country school ma'am that she need not stamp the letters of the alphabet.

If you are coming to pay your subscription.or bring a nice juicy item of news don’t stop to knock, but walk right in as if you owned the place. If on the other hand you are on a collecting tour, you should make the fact known through the window and knock at the door until the editor Opens it. If he does not open it in half an hour call again. It is certainly a mistaken idea in economy to let your buildings go year in and year out without occasionally giving them a coat of paint. The damage done to unpaintvd or old painted buildings by the elements is the cause of much greater expense in the end than an occasional coat of fiaint. Not onlv would the cost be ess, but well painted buildings add to yuur own enjoyment, and thev are also a source of beauty to all beholders, and help to make the town itself “a thing of beauty.” LOCAL BRIEFS.

(Thirteen freight cars standing on the Fraudulent Enlistment of Minor*. One peculiarity of the conditions pre­ vailing in tbe volunteer force has been the enlistment of minors and their conse­ quent discharge from the service on tbe ground of fraudulent enlistment, a course rendered necessary in most instance* by habeas corpus proceeding* through tbe courts. This circumstance ba* served to reduce the numerical strength of many companlea, and the instances have been so numerous as to lead to the suspicion that something more than carelessness 1* chargeable against the officer* who were enabled to have their commands accepted and mustered in by reason of the mini­ mum strength, or in many case* less than the minimum strength allowed by law, having been furnished by the presence of so many minors who were enlisted with­ out the consent of their parents or guard­ ians. This feature is due to the instruc­ tion* rent out from tbe War Department, presumably under a misapprehension. They permitted the mustering in of min­ ors who presented themselves for service nnd whose parents did not interpose objec­ tion. This defeats In a measure the ob­ ject of the statutes which, instead of re­ quiring the objection of parents or guard­ ians as a bar to enlistments, specifically exact tbe consent of those who have au­ thority over minora desirous of becoming soldiers. In the late war much tbe same condition prevailed to such an extent as to lead to Jhe dismissal of officers who were charged with defrauding the govern­ ment to the extent of admitting fraudu­ lent enlistments, nnd it begins to look ns if greater restrictions must be placed upon those in charge of the acceptance of vol­ unteer troops. ______ 920,000,000 in Gold.

The Gorman amendment so modi­ fied that It levies a tax of one-quarter of one per cent, on all corporations engaged in the refining oj sugar or petroleum waa Tbe Senate continued it* consideration of the waj revenue bill through its ses­ sion of Friday, completing everything but the bond provision and the amendment* proposed by the Democrats to take it* place. The speech of the day was made by Mr. Butler (Populist) of North Caro­ lina. The House, practically without de­ bate, passed the urgency deficiency bill providing for emergency expenses of the army and nary department* incident to the war. Two very important vote* were taken Friday in the Senate. In lien of rheseigniorage amendment offered by the ma­ jority of the Finance Committee, MrWolcott (Rep..

Mr. Aldrich (Rep..

After an extended debate tbe ques­ tion was brought to an issue, and by the decisive vote of 45 to 31 the bond amend­ ment was incorporated in the bill as a substitute for the amendment to Issue legal tender notes. by tbe Senate Saturday evening at 7:05 o’clock. A score or more of attempts were made to amend it, but in only threeor four instances were tbe attempts,suc­ cessful. Tiie moat nota We amendment adopted was that offered by Mr. Tillman of South Carolina, placing a duty of IO cents a pound on all tea imported into tbe United States.

On poor soil It is rather hard to’kill, and thus it probably gets Its name. If the land be not rich, ita leaves and stalks will be less succulent, and it to by rotting these down in connection with tbe root that the plant is to be rotted down and thus killed. Exposure to alr and sun merely dries up the roots, and when a wot time comes they revive and grow again. Although land plaster does not pro­ duce so great effect on potatoes as it does on the clover crop, yet it will al­ ways pay to apply some during the growing season. When tbe potato bee­ tle first came, those who mixed parts green with plaster for the destruction of the pests said that the effect of the plaster in keeping the vines green long­ er more than offset the cost of the poi­ son.

Children Burned to Death. The residence of A. Richter on West B street. Iron Mountain, was destroyed by fire. Two children, a boy aged 9 years and a girl aged 11, were burned to a crisp, and two others, aged 4 and fl, n girl xuxl a boy, were so badly burned that they cannot live. It is Dot known how tbe fire originated, but the firemen suspect that it wns ennsed by tbe explosion of a lamp in an incubator. Richter and his wife and nine small children occupied sleeping apartments on the second floor. The chil­ dren were first aroused before an alarm had been given. Seven managed to es­ cape, five of them uninjured, but two were fatally burned. Richter nnd his wife escaped by jumping through a win­ dow, the former having his arm so badly cut by glass that he enme near bleeding to death. Fire was discovered in the harness shop of John Birth at Annnda. It burned fiercely ami soon communicated with the hardware store of E. A. Hulett.

Regarding the relative value of wheat and oats much depends on tbe soil and conditions. The production of stray taxes tbe land, though straw to given but little value nA a portion of the crop. Estimating a yield of twenty bushels of wheat and forty bushels of oats per acre, the experiment stations have shown that there will be about 217 pounds of wheat straw to 100 pounds of grain and 128.4 pounds of straw to 100 pounds of grain in oats. According to such estimates wheat would remove from the land 1.200 pounds of grain and 2,604 pounds of straw, while oats would remove 1,280 pounds of grain and 1,643% pounds of straw per acre. With wheat there would consequently be removed from the soil In tbe grain for each ton 15.1 pounds phosphoric acid, 8.8 of potash and 342 pounds of nitrogen, the straw removing 2 pounds phosphoric acid, 10.5 of potash and 9.5 of nitrogen. “With oats a ton of 2,000 pounds would remove, in the grain, 11.9 pounds of phosphoric acid, 93 of potash and 39 •of nitrogen, the straw removing 12 pounds of phosphoric acid, 27 of potash and 7.6 of nitrogen.

Biggest Lot of Merchandise for ■ the Smallest Lot of Dollars. . . . . We never fall to sell a mao or woman,-clotbiog, underwear, shoes, bats, corsets, belts, hose, handkerchiefs, and dress goods if they consult us before buying. Some people might suppose we sell to everybody, but this is a mistake. We don’t. We sell to most everybody. There are a few people (not many) who persist In paying more for merchan­ dise than for what they can buy It from us, for they won’t come In our store even -to get posted on tbe Drices. They possibly don’t like the proprietor and may be they don’t like the clerks. No doubt some we have refused to trust, but we can’t trust everybody, aod so there will always tie a few people who regard personal feelings against a store more than 1st—They do the purchasing power of their dollars; 2nd—The enjoyment of having the satisfaction of tbe largest stock In all departments of merchandise to select from; 3rd—The knowledge that the goods you buy from Sanford J. Truman are the best money can buy; 4tb—The fact that he is willing at all times to do anything for his customers within reason, whereby an error may be right; 5th—The undlsouted fact that he sells you a better article for less money than any other merchant; Are the Six Reasons Why We Ask You to Buy from SHEBMAN’8 CORNERS.

Americans Accomplish Their Task Without Loss of a Man or Damage to a Ship. •WasbMgton spscial: HE-distinction falls upou Commo­ dore Schley for striking tbe first hard blow in the Atlantic. Tbe out­ er fortifications of Santiago de Cuba are in rains, the formidable Morro fort being practically wrecked, and Admiral Cer­ vera** flagship battered and her plates broken and her machinery injure,! ia no longer the dangerous battle craft that ■crossed the Atlantic Io lend the Spanish fleet against the American warships.

According'to advices received by way •of Kingston. Jamaica, the Marblehead first made certain of the .presence of the Spanish fleet at Santiago. The fight was a sequel to its discovery. The Marble­ head, cruising close to the harbor en­ trance, fop nd four Spanish cruiser*, two torpedo-b^nt destroyers and the old Reina Mercedes skulking behind tbe batteries at" the mouth of the harbor. Schley at •ncc determined to draw the fire of the batteries. His object was to make the T Key West special: It was reported in Kry West that the big Spaniah troop ship Alfonso XHI. had leon captured off the eastern coast of Cuba by the auxiliary cruiser St. Paul. The story tok! was that the troop ship tried her utmost to get away, but tbe speed of the St. Paul was too great and the Alfonso XIII. was compelled to sur­ render. The St, Paul, it is reported, fired seventeen shots before the Spanish flag was hauled down. The news of the cap­ ture was brought by a dispatch boat from Commodore Watson’s fleet before Ha­ vana. It was reported that the Alfonso XIII. had but few S|Minlsh troop* aboard, but was full to overflowing of supplies and coal. It was lielieved in the blockading fleet that tbe Alfonso had but recently left Cienfuego* and was bound for Porto Rico. Another story was that she wns endeavor­ ing to steal into Santiago past Schley** fleet and break tbe blockade of tbnt port. It is also reported that the Spanish ship also had trans-Atlantic mails aboard for Blanco and Cervera. SCOUTS SEEN OFF KEY WEST. Spanish Auxiliary Cruisers Are in American Waters. The rcjiorted presence iu Key West waters of two SjKUiish auxiliary cruisers appears to be true. Tuesday night, while the Detroit wns steaming along with all lights out, a steamer was made out out­ lined against rhe sky, and in tin* moon­ light was made out to have a black bull and light color,xl smokestacks, the chief characteristics of the con vert ed Spanish merchantman. The Detroit immediately, under full steam, set out In pursuit, but the suspicious steamer was fast nnd read­ ily escaped. This is supposed to have been one of the two ships which have been cruising around in the neighborhood of Key West. rp HE vanguard of tbe army of Cuba has *■ moved al last. Many of tbe soldiers who have been grumbling at Tampa and Mobile over their unwelcome inactivity embarked on the transports which have been lying idle nt those points so long. Gen. Miles has left Washington for tbe front. Soon stirring news will come of victories won over Spanish troop*. Tbe work of liberating Cuba, to which this country pledged itself more than a month ago. has been commenced in earnest. Dec­ oration Day was made memorable not alone by the ceremonies attaching to its observance aud by the reunion of the vet­ erans, both of tbe blue and the gray, un­ der tbe same flag, and of the volunteer* also under the same flag in defense of a common cause, but by the good news which came from Commodore Schley that at last the Cape Verde fleet waa definitely located in Santiago harbor. This officer asserts be has seen the vessels, and the evidence of one's eye* does not need fur• ther confirmation. Tbe receipt at Wash­ ington of the news that Admiral Cervera’s fleet was in the harbor of Santiago de Cuba with Commodore Schley at the en­ trance, ready and able to fall ou it if it attempted to escape, dispelled those fear* of the Spanish vessel* which have kept the army on American shores so long. When it was learned authoritatively that Cervera wa* bottled up and could uot in­ terfere with tbe transports or with the landing of tbe troops, the forward move­ ment began. Tbe military invasion of Cuba began •Monday. Almost immediately following the receipt of definite information as to the presence of .the Spanish fleet nt San­ tiago, Gen. Miles went to the War De­ partment nnd issued telegraphic orders putting the troop* in motion nnd thus startingtbe forward movement of tbe mil­ itary ^arm of the service. At an early hour the troops that have been gathered at the . gulf ports began to break camp and march aboard transport* waiting to carry them i to the enemy’s territory. About twenty-1 fire of these ships, the biggest and fast­ est that could be obtained suitable for the purpose, hnd been gathered ready to re­ ceive tbe troops. They accommodate about 30,000 men, for in a short voyage like that from one of the gulf ports to Cuba, it is possible with safety and com­ fort to carry a much larger number of men aboard ship than would be admissi­ ble In the case for a cruise to the Philip­ pines, for instance. How many troops started and where they were bound were questions which the directing spirits of the campaign re­ fused positively to answer. They had no desire that the Spanish should have op­ portunity afforded them to gather forces PANIC IN SPAIN. FROM THE FRONT. The cable between Cadiz and Iloilo ha* been cut. Every regiment is to have twenty-five nurses and this will bring the total up to 3.750. Reports from Key West say the rainy season ha* begun in Cuba and rain fall* daily. A shipping company has been commis­ sioned to carry mail* from Manila to Hongkong.

Two hours later tbe Massachusetts, New Orleans and Iowa. uot more than a cable length apart, steamed up to the hnrlto. mouth within 4,(100 yards of Morro castle. Two miles fun her out to the sea the Brooklyn, Texas and other shijw of the blockading fleet rode the waves with just headway «nongh for steering purposes. Six min­ utes' steaming would have brought them into the figtit. but they got no invitation and lay there to the end. Tbe Massachusetts opened fire, taking •the Spanish flagship for its first target. An eight-inch shell was thrown. It was not a good shot, quite as bad ns tin* shot that answered it. Then the Massachu­ setts tried its thirteen-inch guns. Tiie roar of these wns a new voice. Even the ship* near trembled with their shock and the water seemed to hum like an immense sounding lion rd. The Crist otal Colon and four batteries, two on the east side< one ■on tbe west and one on an island in the middle of tbe channel, made fitting re­ plies. Their ton and twelve-inch Krupp* seat shot for shot for the American sixes, eights, twelves and thirteens. It was a noisy and spectacular scene, but not effec­ tive on cither side at the'outaet. After half an hour's firing the two forts ■on the ea*t and the one on the island were •Beared. Five minutes later Schley’s •hips ceased firing. Tugs Uncas and Leyden Fire on the Fortifications. It was discovered a few days ago that the Spaniards hnd built n new block house nt the entrance of Mntanzns harbor, east of Pedro light. It was determined to de­ stroy the fort, which was a small affair, mounting only one gun, and manned by a small company of Spaniards. The tugs Uncas and Leyden were ordered to do tbe work. At noon on Monday they steamed within n half-mile of the fort and opened fire with their six-pounders. The Span­ iards replied wid» one shot, winch went wild. Both boar* continued pouring shells right nt the fortifications, nearly every one of them hitting the mark. The hot fire completely demoralized the garrison. The shot riddled the fort and completely destroyed it. Twenty-eight shots were fired. The tugs then withdrew. The , Spanish loss is bel’.ered'to be ten or twen­ ty dead.

National Bank I* Subjected to a Heavy Ran. The condition of tbe Bank of Spain is considered in Madrid as more teapus than any reverse of the war, as if it cannot help tbe Government the war cannot be continued. The financial outlook of Spain is dark. The Government has intrusted the Bank of Spain with the negotiations for a loan of 1,000,000,000 pesetas ($200.­ 000,000) at 4 per cent, which sum is to be raised n* and when required.

The statement from Madrid, in what seemed to lie almost semi-official form, of the acuteness of the financial stringency there, and tbe plain intimation that tiie Bank of Spain, nnd consequently Spain, were nearing the end of their financial resources, was regarded at tbe State De­ partment in Washington a* of more real significance than matiy of the stories of tattles on land and *ea that have been coming over tbe cables for the past few weeks.

CHAPTER VII. “HoW delightful!" Dulcie said to herselffi with a Httle aigh. "How exceeding­ ly entertaining to sit here alone and watch those two go ‘mooning* along, in an ecstatic day-dream." It was a clear, fresh April day, and the three, Dulcie and Esther and Percy Stan­ hope, hud walked across tbe fields to­ gether, and were loitering now in the graveyard of the old church. At least Duteie waa. She had professed herself tired, aud quite unable to go a step fur­ ther.' “How quiet it all la!” Dulcie thought, "These people loved and hated, and long­ ed for what they couldn't get just Hke u*. And now their very names are for­ gotten." Ju*t then a burst of melody swept out of the church—a very rush of music that seemed to pierce the drowsy quiet of the April afternoon. . "I hope 1 dhj hot startle you, Mis* Le­ vesque?”—and then, seeing that she was listening far more to the music than to him—Julian-Carre said: “That is Harvey playing. He often come* here to prac­ tice. He say* thia organ is better than the one they have at home." She put her baud out at once, and hfe closed tightly over It. “I am so glad to have met you! Do you know"—trying to make her look at him— “I have done little else than look out for you for the Inst fortnight! Where have you been hiding yourself?" “Nowhere"—stooping to pick up her hat from the grass. “If you go away now," Julian Carre went on, in hi* low, musical voice. "I shall feel that you have not forgive® me for disturbing you, and I shall be mis­ erable." “I will stay for a little while." He smiled, and thanked her; and, look­ ing into his eyes, she remembered what Mrs. Hardinge had said, and a sudden shyness sent the blushes into ber face. “Sit here," he said, going on a step or two before her; “and then you will be in the shade, and need not put on your hat. You look so much prettier without it." “How d« you know?"—very seriously. "You have not yet seen me in it" "Ob, yea I have—or in one of some sort! You forget #e were fellow trav­ elers. when you were coming here first.” "So I did!”—with n laugh. “I don’t often choose the shade, but, if I am to mt bareheaded, perhaps it will be best for me now." She gathered ber skirt* round her, and sat down; be took hi* place on the step be­ low ber. so that tbe two heed* were not very far apart. Where they sat^ they could plainly bear the roll and swell of the organ. Lord Harvey waa playing a* if, like the monk* of old, he sought to exor­ cise some evil spirit by the power of hfe music. “Her smile matte sunshine in a shady place," quoted Jqliar.

An exchange says: “It may sound a little startling, but it is said to be true, that more yonng men are learn­ ing trades in penitentiaries than out of them, because parents are trying to make dorks, doctors, lawyers,’ and even preachers out of material intend­ ed for blacksmiths, carpenters, and other trades of mechanics. The trouble ia that the boys are eager to avoid the labor of life, and too anx­ ious to follow some calling that does not soil their hands, and parents are responsible for this. Boys should be taught that there is more dig­ nity iq^nanual labor than in loafing, and more honor in toiling than independence.

A TERRIBLE FALL At about four o'clock Wednesday afternoon while John Andre of Grand Ledge was painting the smoke stack at the Lentz Table factory the pipe broke In twoand Mr. Andre fell to the roof of the engine room, a distance of about thirty-eight feet, lighting on his hands and knees. Before ascending the stack Mr. An­ dre give it a close examination and remarked to his brother that it was in a bad condition, but, nevertheless, he fastened the pulley to the top ring, to which one set of guy wires were fast­ ened, and drew himself nearly up to the top where he commenced paint­ ing. Everything was all safe during the time he was painting the first ten rfeet, but when this far down something began to give. Andre im­ mediately noticed the defect and shouted to his brother that she was bending, but before he could loosen himself from the stack he was on his way to mother earth at u rapid veloc­ ity. The first half of the distance he was coming head first, but having had seven years experience as an aero­ naut, he managed to tret right side up and held his equilibrium in this posi­ tion until he struck the roof. He was taken to the hotel and cared for until about six o’clock, when he walked up town without the aid of crutches or cane and rejoiced over the fact that hejlived to tell the storv. The Andre Bros, are experienced hands at this business and until this accident occured they could boast of never having had a fall, although they have been in many risky places. TOWNSEND-WELLMAN.

The temperature the first half of month was practically normal and rainfall de­ ficient, while in the latterhalftemperature and rainfall were both somewhat in excess of the normal, and the rain­ fall was well distributed.

Children’s -day came with clouds and threatenings of showers, but in the churtn all was bright and wore an air of welcome as the members and friends of the Congregational Sunday school gathered for the anniversary. The decorations for Children’s day are always interesting, and on this occasion they were arranged with a taste and skill calculated to impart more than usual satisfaction. The exercises were well rendered, holding the interested attention of a large audience. Mrs. Boise presided at the organ in her always able and brilliant manner, and was well assist­ ed by the conductors of the various parts of the program. The duet by Mias Boise and Miss Purady was a charming number. The solo by Miss Mabel Marble won the hearts of all. Others well deserved personal men­ tion. Several of the parts could have been heartily applauded if it had been regarded as in order to do so. The youngRr classes rendered their part attractively and well, with recitation, song and marching. Under the leadership of Mrs. W. 1. Marble the numbers sung by the school from the Christian Endeavor edition -of Sacred Songs which has been recently adopted by the Y. P. S. C. E. and the Sunday school were given with a spirit ana a movement in time which made the exercise, as it ought always to be, one of meaning and inspiration. A generous offering for special pur­ poses of the Sunday school work con­ cluded the anniversary exercises. METHODIST Children’s Day at the M. E. church was beautiful and appropriately observed. The house was tastily decorated with maple leaves, potted plants and bright flowers. A fine program was given to the satisfaction of all. Collection 99. JHE MARKETS.

Washington spsrtal: . The news from Santiago Tuesday of a stirring character. The itomhardxncrit of the fortifications at the mouth of the harbor, which bi*gnn on Saturday, was resumed Monday morning nt 7:30 and continued until 11 o’clock. Evidently the attack was intended to cover the land­ ing, probably of marines, from the fleet, whose purpose it was to catabliah a depot, land supplies and siege guns, communi­ cate with the insurgents, and prepare the way for the invasion by the army.

Hobson to be sunk, and sev­ eral officer* of the vessel came aboard the Mayflower and told in detail the story of the sinking of the ship. , » When the Merrimac started toward the harbor the flash of a single gun on the Mono was seen from the deck of the New York, though the report could not be heard. It was followed in a few momenta by sheets at tire all along the shore. The^ Spaniard* bad evidently turned every gun' on the ship.

There was the smart. That was the wound to which the proud little heart could not grow reconciled. “I will do the licxt I can for myself,” she had said to Esther. Was she doing it? Was she not playing with men's hearts as if they were croquet balls, with­ out one care for the future that lay be­ fore her? "You have been dreaming, Dulcie,” ahe said to herself, with a little bitter sigh, “and you will waken up *out in the cold’ if you don’t take heed.” . That very night, when, the house was quiet, Dulcie sat down to write a letter. It was a long letter—to her Uncle Durer— and it* told him the truth about ber positioa.

This is the story of one .who participated in many naval and infantry engagements daring the war. From wounds received then he suffered for years, but to-day, rejoices in renewed strength. There is a distinctly peculiar halo that invests the being of an old soldier in the eyes of the present generation. The sight ci him arotsic.'. a feeling of admiral ion for his brave deeds and heroic achievements. Among throe who bravely fought was Dr. L. J. Clark, who, when bat a beardless boy, heard the tocsin of war sounded. It fired his patriotic spirit to a fervency that found relaxation only in his realization of fighting in the battle*. To the call of President Lincoln for troops fax the latter part ci f6i, young dark promptly responded.

Though partly incapacitated for active service, hu patriotic zeal got the better of him, and when the call toe more troops came, young Clark enlisted in a company formed by GapL Joel I. Aspcr, at Warren. It became Co. H.of the 7th OhioVolun- , terrs and was sent to the Army of the Poto­ mac under Ge neral Grant then campaigning in Virginia against General Robert E. L-ce. In a skirmish near Richmond, he was wounded again and was sent to the ho»pilaL He remained there for some time, bat finally recovered, and went home. Shortly after, he began the study of veter­ inary surgery, and, when completed, went to Chicago, where be has resided for thirty years, and is now one of the leading rar­ geons of that profession in the city. Hi* old wounds began to trouble him several year* ago. He grew weak, ema­ ciated and thoroughly debilitated. Hi* friends began to despair of hh life.

Tte war revenue bill was advanced a step further. It was received in tte House us amended in tte Senate, und tte lower branch of Congress neeordingly teeatne the center of legislative interest. Mr. Dalzell, from tte Committee on Rules^ presented' a resolution introduced by Mr. Dingley providing for an immediate vote upon general non-concurreuce and sending the bill to conference. After some debate the rote was taken upon the resolution. Mr. Bailey demanded tbe yeas nnd naya^ tbe roll call resultftlg: Yeas, 137; nsys, ](Xk It was a party vote. The House tten. Totetl to non-concur aud agreed to tbe .conference, and’the Speaker named Messrs. Dingley, Payne and Bailey as conferees. Under suspension of the rule* tte Senate bill ratifying an agreement between the Dawes commission and the Seminole Indians providing for tte allot­ ment of tte latter’s lands, was passed. Beyond the passage of an urgent deflcicacy bill, made necessary by tbe war with Spain, tte Senate accomplished little. The deficiency measure carries appropriation* for ahe war and navy establishments ag­ gregating $17,745,000. Tbe Senate on Tuesday passed the bill for the allotment in severalty of certain lands to the Indians of Indian Territory, the payment of interest claims to the Chickasaw Indians, and tte ratification of the igreement effected with tbe In­ dians by tbe Dawes commission. Sec­ tion 26, which provided for the segrega­ tion of 157,GOO acres of land purchased by the Delawares froth the Cherokees, 100 acres of the laud to be allotted to each registered Delaware, and the remainder reserved to the descendants of deceased registered Delawares, was stricken from the hili. Consideration was resumed of the measure providing for the taking of the twelfth census. After disposing of the urgent war deficiency liilL as imssed. with . amendments by the Senate, the Houseconsidered tte conference report upon thesuudry civil bill. The report, so far as it emlMMlies agreements, was adopted, and the House then began voting severally up­ on tte Senate amendments, uj»on which, no agreement had been reached ia confer­ ence. Of these there are forty-five. TheHouse considered eight of these, acting favorably upon three and rejecting the re­ mainder. The .House adjourned pending disposition of a measure to enable volun­ teer soldiers to vote at congressional elec­ tions during tbe war. It involved consti­ tutional questions. The Senate resolution was passed authorizing the President towaive the one-year,«upen«ion from promo­ tion und order re-examination in the army in certain corps during the existing war. A bill providing for the taking of thetwelfth census was passed by the Senate on Wednesday after a debate which occu­ pied the greater part of tliree days. The House disposed of the Senate amend­ ments of the sundry civil bill and agreed to further conference. The conference report upon the postoffice appropriation bill was adopted without debate. A bill was passed authorizing the construction of a high bridge across RiK?k river on theIllinois and Mississippi Canal in Illinois. After five hours devoted to the consid­ eration of the bill to enable volunteer sol­ diers to vote in congressional elections, tte conference report upon the war reve­ nue bill was presented to the House on Thursday. Consideration was interrupted by a recess to 8 o’clock in the evening, when the report was taken up again, and after three hours’ debate, involving a wide range of Rubjects and same sensational feature*, it was voted upon and adopted— 154 to 107. The Senate passed without division a bill providing American registry for tbe steamers’ Olympia, Victoria. Ta­ coma. Columbia. Arizona and Argyle of the Northern Pacific Steamship Company. The "omnibus claim bill," carrying over $9,000,000, forty private-|>en3ion hills and. several measures from the general calen­ dar, were passed. Bilk were passed ns follows: Permitting Col.

Third United States cavalry, to accept and exercise the office of boundary com­ missioner between the United Slates aud Mexico; to amend an act establishing a court of private land claims, requiring claims to be filed before March 3, 1901; to amend an act for the relief and civiliza­ tion of the Chippewa Indians in Minne­ sota. Shortly after 4 o’clock Friday afternoon the conference Fcport on the war revenue bill was agreed to by the Senate, after a discussion lasting four hours. Tte debate U|s>n the measure was without s;>eeial incident and was entirely devoid of acri­ monious features. It was n foregone con­ clusion that the report would be agreed to nnd the only qmotion of intefert involved was bow soon a vote could te reached. The report wns agreed to by the decisive vote of 43 to 22. The feature of tte day’s session of the house was the securing of nn agreement to consider and vote upon lhe Newland* resolution to annex Hawaii.

When the storm was at the worst they came out of the water and huddled together tinder a tree on the bank, four of them holding an umbrella over their clothes. Sud­ denly there was a flash and a report and four of the boys lay prostrate on the ground. The rest were slightly shocked hut Immediately recovered their wits and ran without their cloth­ ing to Benedict's elevator and gave the alarm that four boys were killed. Several men Immediately ran to the scene of the accident but found the boys alive and recovering their senses. The alarm soon spread to the village and quite a crowd of people with two or three physicians hastened to the scene. The scared ones had re­ cove.ed their usual equilibrium and the injured ones were tenderly cared for and taken to their homes and at last advices were fast improving. The injured were Will Gunn, Max Dunbar, Allie Hess and Herman Hull. The latter was the most seriously in­ jured. Strange to say the tree* was not struck by the bolt, but it seemed to fall in the very midst of the boys. A large hole was torn in the ground and the umbrella was ruined. How the boys escaped being killed is really a miracle as the oolt was a heavy one and the report fairly shook the village.—Vermontville Echo. f fca ■ ARE INVITED During the time yoU are receiving Invltloas to weddings, class day exercises, etc., we think it will be entirely approp^ve to send ynu an Invitation through The Nkws to be present at the hardware store ot MITCHELL & YOUNG wtftn you need anything in the line of plows, drags, cul­ tivators, screen doors, parls green sprayers, stoves ot any kind, wire of all kinds, carpenters’ tools, bicycles, paints and oils.

THE MARKET. If wheat keeps up the pace it has been going the past three weeks, the farmers will haye to pay the elevator men and millers something to take it off their hands by the time the new crop is readv for the market. Evi­ dently the big gamblers are deter­ mined to buy the new crop at a low price, and they are backed up In their efforts by the largest wheat crop the world has ever produced. Wool is still coming in fairly well, although most of the crop has been marketed except what is being held for a higher price.

Historical will become the work of de­ struction done by the United States dyna­ mite cruiser Vesuvius shortly before 12 o’clock Saturday night. Under orders from Admiral Sampson the Vesuvius let fly three shells, each containing 200 pounds of gun cotton, at a fort standing on a headland on the western side of the entrance to Santiago harbor, and each of the projectiles ‘did frightful execution. There was no flash, no smoke. There was no noise at first. The pneumatic guns on the little cruiser did their work silently. It was only when they felt the shock that the men on the other warships knew the Vesuvius was in action.' A few seconds after the first gun was fired there was a frightful convulsion on the land. On the hill, where the Spanish guns had withstood the missile of the or­ dinary ships of war. tons of rock and soil leaped high in the air. The land was smitten ns by an earthquake. Terrible echoes rolled n round and around through the shaken bills and mountains. Samp­ son's ships, far out to sea, trembled with the awful shock-.

Some of his -amaller boats had ventured into the month ■of the harbor and identified three of them. But Lieut. Blue went ashore, made a complete detour of the harbor, and posi­ tively identified all the Spanish ships. SMASHED BY SHELLS. The brick fort and earthworks at Caimanera. at the end of the railroad leading to the city of Guantanamo, were .demol­ ished Wednesday by the bombardment of the battleship Texas, the cruiser Mar­ blehead and the auxiliary gunboat Suwa­ nee. The bombardment lasted one hour i and thirty minutes. The Texas steamed slowly up the channel leading to the for-1 tifications, followed closely by the Mar­ blehead. 'The Texas tired two shots ns ; range-finders, both failing short and to the right. The Marblehead stood off <o the ■west side of the channel and opened with icr five-inch guns on the fort, knocking •down part of the wall. The Texas then Yhrew in some 12-inch shells, tearing •down the wall of the fort and throwing the bricks and mortar thirty feet in the air. After badly damaging the fort the Marblehead Stood further in to shell the ■earthworks and barracks at the west end of the harbor. She knocked them into the air, and when the Spaniard# fled from the fort they were shelled by the St. Paul end driven into the bushes. Th$ Span­ iards fired only five shots, which did no -damage. - Warship Ran* Ashore in a Fog. In the dense fog that enveloped Cape Cod during the early hours of Monday morning the United States cruiser San Francisco, commanded byCapt.Bichard P.

Their fine -equipment of Mauser rifle*—rifle*. that hare picked off marine* at long distance* —are stacked in the American camp. Two Cubans were killed in the fight and one American, Private Walker of Company D, was slightly wounded in the ankle. When the marines returned to camp af­ ter the battle they brought with them -sighteen Spanish prisoners, including a lieutenant, something -more than 100 rifles and about 10,000 rounds of ammu­ nition. The Americans, weary of jungle war­ fare, went into the enemy’s hiding place «nd Inflicted disastrous punishment. Capt Elliott, Lieut. Lucas and'Lieut. Bannon ■of Company C, with ninety marine* and -fifteen Cubans, composed one of the par­ ties. Capt. Spicer, Lieut. Neville and Lieut. Shaw of Company I>, with ninety marines and fifteen Cubans, made up the •econd party. Lieut. Mahoney and Lieut. Magill of Company E, with fifty marines .and ten Cubans, formed the third party, while the fourth comprised Lieut. Ingate •of Company F and fifty marines and a Cuban guide. Thus it will be seen a scouting party of 800 officers and mon, weakened by subdi­ vision into four lands, ventured to drive ■a much sujierior force of Spaniards from -cover. The ’primary object of the expedi­ tion was thp destruction of the tank which aupplied the Sjanish with water. This was successfully accomplished. The Americans also captured a heliograph with which the Spaniards signaled infor­ mation to the main array. The Ameri­ cans and Cubans charged the headquar­ ters of the Spaniards in a valley, drove out the dons with bullet and bayonet, hemmed them in and cut nff their retreat, and as they showed no intention of sur­ rendering the Dolphin dropped shells in their midst, causing great havoc and kill­ ing scores. A few stragglers managed to escape, but the marines were too tired to pursue them. The American victory was complete. MICHIGAN MATTERS. FAYB BLANCO HAS 50,000 MEN. Whigham Say* Havana I* Not Starv­ ing at Present. Mr. Whigham, the English newspaper correspondent who was recently arrested in Havana, and later expelled from Cube by Captain General Blanco, nays the gar­ rison of Havana numbers 50,000 men. in­ cluding volunteers. Recruits are coming into the city daily. There is no prospect of starvation, he thinks, -for some time. Meat sells for only 30 cents per pound. Flour is scarce, but there is plenty of corn meal and rice. The supply of coal may fail within n month, which would leave the city in darkness. There are.now 15,000 tons in sight, nnd it is reported that <50,000 tons may be available. The temper of the troops is excellent, and their health Is good. targe numbers of Cubans hre already veering to the support of Spain. The former insurgent leader Masso-Parra has raised 1,000 men to help tho Spanish. The defenses of the town have been greatly strengthened since the war began. Two hundred guns have been mounted in shore batteries, including six 12-inch rifles. According to Mr. Whighum. Havana is now practically impreg­ nable. provided the Spaniards make a I good fight. Two linos of defense have Ixjen completed inland within the last two months. It is believed that the capture of the city will demand 75,000 American troop*. j ■ Plot to Kidnap and Murder.

The men who murdered Mr. Carden and bis wife and an old man named Carice, near Wetumpka. Ala., have been lynched. Gov. Johnston received a message from the sheriff that a mob was assembling. He feared bis prisoners would be taken from him, and so asked for troops. -The Governor soon got together about ninety turn of the Montgomery militia nnd sent them to Wetumpka on a special train. Before they reached there, however, tbe number—and taken them to the acene of the murder. Four of the negroes confess-♦d to havinirpartlcijiated in the crime, and one of them told where he had hid the money. He was compelled to find it, and In n few minutes, near tbe scene of the erime, all five were swung up and their bodies riddled with bullets. The militia was unable to follow the mob, as the men were all well mounted and no means of 'Conveyance was at hand to take the *olsiierx after them. In the morning efforts were made to find tbe negroes, and about 11 o’clock news came over the telephone from Wetumpka that they bad been found ■winging from a limb. Their names are unknown. »l>i« killed Myrtle Huffmetetei? the '6-yrar-old daughter «rf William Huffmeiater. a farm­ er. living near there. Becker was taken from the jail at IIutchlns<*a to Great Bend for preliminary examination. Iu the early part of the evening the mob was swarming around the Jail. Evidently be­ lieving that be could outwit the lynchers by flight, the sheriff rushed Becker from the Jail to hb buggy, but be had no sooner done so than hr nnd his men and the prisoner were surrounded. Seizing the murderer,, they ‘bore him to the public square. There a rope was drawn around Becker's neck, and after he bad been beaten almost to insensibility the rope was thrown over a limb of a big tree and he was drawn up. MINERS FEAR PIRATES. The first boat from Dawson Is expected at San Francisco about July 4. But It is not likely that many miners will trust their gold on a vessel unless she is es­ corted by a government steamer. There is a very general impression around Daw­ ion that pirates have banded together to attack a gold-carrying vessel on the high seas and loot her. Mr. Stanley, of Seattle, ha* two'son* nt Dawson who have <800,­ 000 In gold dust and they ore firm in their statements that they will not trust their gold on any unescorted vessel.

For nearly iwo hour* the Senate bad un­ der diacuasicm the resolution of Mr. Lodge (Mn**.l, directing the Claims Committee tn make an inquiry »» to the disposition of tbe money appropriated by Congress to pay the claim of the book concern of the Methodist Episcopal Church South.

Tbe Hawaiian debate proceeded in the House on Tuesday. Mr. Grosvenor (Rep-, O.) made the principal speech of the day. At the *<*«aion of the Semite the resolution of Mr. Lodge (Mara.), directing that an inquiry ta made into the disposition made of the Methodist Book Concern claim, which was paid recently by Congrera, was adopted without division. In the course of the debate upon it Mr. Morgan (Ala.) charged that the resolution was insincere and had taCn drawn for political effect. This statement Mr. Lodgt denied rigor­ ously, saying his only purpose In offering the resolution was that nil the facts con­ cerning the matter should be laid before the people. The measure to incorporate the InteniatioDal Affierican Bank was un­ der discussion for three hours, the debate eliciting some interesting facts concern­ ing the foreign trade of thi* country. Final action was not taken on the bill. A bill to authorize a retired list for enlisted men and appointed petty officers of tbe United States navy was passed. By a vote of 20Q to DI the House of Representatives tVednesday afternoon adopted the Newland* resolution*, pro­ viding for the annexation of Hawaii. The debate, which had continued without in­ terruption since Saturday, had been one of the most notable of this Congress, the proposed annexation being considered of great commercial and strategic import­ ance by its advocates, and being looked upon by its opponents ns involving a radical departure from the long-established policy of the country and likely to be followed by the inauguration of a prdnounced pol­ icy of colonization,, the abandonment of the Monroe doctrine and participation in international wrangles. More than half a hundred members participated in the de­ bate. The Senate resumed consideration of tbe International American bank bllL An amendment was accepted by the com­ mittee and adopted extending the priv­ ileges of the measure to all citizens of the United States instead of restricting them to those mentioned in the bill. When the Senate adjourned consideration of the bill had not been concluded. In tho House on Thursday Mr. Dingloy (Rep., Me.) called up the bill supptomental to the war revenue measure, designed to supply some omissions and to strengthen the means of carrying out the revenue act. It exempts from taxation mutual, casual­ ty, fidelity and gunrauty companies con­ ducted not for profit. After explanation by Mr. Dingloy the bill was passed. The House passed a bill authorizing the eonstruction of n bridge across Niagara river nt Grand Island, and then went into com­ mittee of the whole to consider the gen­ eral deficiency bill. In the general debate upon the bill Mr. Wilsou (Dem.. 8. C.) de­ livered a speech in support of the Ixxlge Immigration |>U1, and Mr. Carmack (Dem., Tenn.) spoke upon the probability of tbe war ending in the inauguration of a policy of territorial aggression. Tbe bill was not disposed of when the House adjourned. After devoting an hour to the discusaion of the bill restoring the annuities to tbe Rlsseton nnd Wahpeton bauds of Sioux Indiaus the Senate resumed the consid­ eration of the bill to incorporate the Inter­ national American Bank. A test on an amendment clearly indicated that a ma­ jority of the Senate favored the measure. The message clerk of the House of Rep­ resentative* delivered to the Senate the Hawaiian annexatiou resolution presented by the House the evening before. The Foreign Relation* Committee, through Mr. Davis, the chairman, on Fri­ day rvj»orted favorably to the Senate the Newland* resolutions tor the annexation of the Hawaiian Island*. The hill to in­ corporate the International American Bank, in accordance with the recommend­ ation of the Pan-American congress, which has occupied a greater part of the Senate's time during the week was {Miss­ ed by a vote of 26 to 23. The conference report on the bankruptcy bill was present­ ed and read, but no action was taken. Tbe general deficiency bill occupied the atten­ tion of the House. Saturday's sesaiou of the House was de­ voted chiefly to eulogies u;»uu the life and character of former Senator Harris of Tennessee. Prior to hearing eulogies some consideration was given to a conference report upon the District of Columbia ap­ propriation bill. The Senate was not Id session.

RUSSIA TO BUILD GREAT CANAL The farmers of the United States are drawing upon other parts of the world for more money in the fiscal year which ends with thi* month than in any preceding year in the history of tbe country. Even the high-water mark of 1892, when our exports of agricultural products amounted to $799,328,232, will be surpassed by the record of the^ear which closes with this month. Tbe preliminary reports of May exjKirtations which have reached tbe bu­ reau of statistics made It quite apparent that the agricultural exports of the year will bg^considerably in excess of $800,OOO.OfR), tbe total for the year being likely to iWch $835,000,000. Compared with tbe last fiaeal year, the increase in exports of agricultural pro­ ducts will be fully $150,000,000. In breadstuff* alone tbe exports of the year will amount to nearly $1,090,000 for each business day, and will be more than $100,­ 000,000 in excess of last year's exports. Of wheat the value of the exports for 1898 will be more than double those of 1897, while the increase in flour will be Will Connect Black and Baltic Bean and Coat 907,000,000. The current issue of the publication by the office of naval intelligence presents a detailed account of an immense canal about to be undertaken by Russia, which will connect tbe Black and Baltic seas, and will enable her to concentrate her fleets at either end in less than seven days. Ths canal's entire length will be 1,080 mileo» but by using the rivers the artificial con­ struction will extend only 125 miles. Ths cost of the entire construction is esti­ mated at $97,000,000.

Beeldeoce । The promotion exercises of the Nashville schools held at the opera house last Friday night were in every particular a complete success. The stage was tastily decorated with ever­ greens and roses, presenting a fine ap­ pearance from the auditorium. The program was opened by a pretty vocal trio rendered in an ex­ cellent manner by The Misses Weta Wilkinson, Myrtle Cross and Mrs. John Wolcott, after which Rev. Dr. Wilson very ably invoked the divine blessing on the occasion. In the cantatas entitled "Red, White and blue,” "Crowning the May Queen” and "School Festival,” car­ ried out by the students of the differ­ ent departments, ail did so remark­ ably well that it is a difficult task to mention all of the good features, but as a whole the exercises not only re­ flected credit upon the pupils, but also, upon the teachers wno have so earnestly and diligently labored with them during the past ten months. Tiie class song, and the instru­ mental solo by Miss Clara Sylvester, which interspersed the program be­ tween'the last two cantatas, were both beatifully rendered and were highly applauded. Prof. M. R. Parmelee presented the promotion certificates and made a few very appropriate remarks regard­ ing the faithfulness of the students to duty, and congratulated them upon their success thus far obtained, after which he bade the audience a hearty good night. BACCALAUREATE SERMON. The annual commencement exercises of our high school began last Sunday evening when a union service of the different denominations of the village was held in the Methodist church for the purpose of listening to the bac­ calaureate sermon, which was more than ably handled by Rev. E. E. . LATUROP. DentlBt. Hale** drag atore, on Branch, pastor of the Baptist church, ■treet, NaahvtUe, Michigan. who chose for his theme "We’er More than Conquerers”— Romans 8, 37. To say that the reverends’s dis­ course was pronounced a masterly effort by the large audience which as­ sembled to hear-him, would only be lightly expressing the favorable im­ pression he made with the people. address, Naahville, Michigan. The sermon abounded in good, sound, practical advice of earnestness and loy­ alty to country, home andChrist. We have had The pleasure of listening to able baccalureate sermons in the past, I.

After the orchestra played the waltz entitled “Sweet Dreams,’’ the large crowd was dismissed and all went away wishing success and happi­ ness to the class of ’98. The excellent music rendered by the Vermonville orchestra deserves a special mention. A BAD ACCIDENT. Al Wednesday noon Fred Elms of — bion, representing the Elms Buggy Co», of that city, was at the depot wait­ ing for the 12:34 train. When the train came in Mr. Elms, who is an old man 60 years of age, came down the steps from the depot to board it. IFroni the level of the tracks there is a step leading to the platform in front of the depot steps proper and when Mr. Elms came down from the depot he did not notice the extra step and as he came to it he fell heavily, strik­ ing his right arm and breaking it in two places, once just above the wrist and once just below the elbow. Dr. Comfort was sent for but he having gone to Hastings Dr. Weaver was called and had the injured man re­ moved to his home and reduced the fracture. Mr. Elms was partially Earalvzed and this accounts for the ard fall ax,d consequent injury. The fractures were especially painful owing to Mr. Elms' age, but he was made as comfortable as posible un­ der the circumstances and yesterday morning he left for his home in Al**»«»»« bion. BIG LOSS BY FIRE. Sunday morning about four o’clock T. B. Kenedy, living about two miles cast of town, got up, built the fire and went out to the barn to do the chores. He had been away from the house but a short time when chancing to look up he saw the whole upper part of the house in flames. Hastening to the scene he rushed into the house and assisted his invalid wife to escape from the burning building. After making her as comfortable as possi­ ble he hurried back to save what goods he could but the fire had made such headway that he could save noth­ ing but a sewing machine. None of the neighbors saw the fire in time to £ve any assistance and consequently j loss was practical!yjtotal, and but partially covered by insurance in the Barry and Eaton. The house was vocal solo by Mrs. O- M. Bullinger of nearly new, being build two years ago Middleville, whose highly appreciated and as Mr. Kennedy is a poor man effort was a suitable beginning for the and well along in years the loss is a evening’s entertainment. doubly severe one. Rev. A. T. Waterman pronounced an able and appropriate invocation, ABOUT THAT FORTY DOLLARS. after which Miss Leona Comfort ren­ dered a beautiful patriotic solo enti­ tled "What Did Dewey Do Then?” The selection was nicely sung and re­ ceived a hearty applause. XdHsMuoB. who was chosen salut&torianof tEc class, did her part well. Her talk was full of good points and was well received by theaudlencc. Miss Mason is a Maple Grove girl and for the past four years has been a diligent and faithful student of our schools. She was rightly honored by being appointed to take this part. .-The class poem was assigned to Smoke lift, best &c cigar on earth. gram as the class statistician. This part of the program was not as diffi­ cult this year as it has been in the past, owing to the fact that between the height, weight, etc., of ila$4> ffieche andNJ'haj’lev Smith there is a sufficient amount of room to describe the remaining fifteen members of the class without making any repe­ titions or conflictions. Fred, however, handled his part in flue shape and made a favorable impression upon the listeners. "American Flag” was the subject of the class oration, which was written by Hayes Tlecha.*zThe orator’s wellequipped paper, presented in his good strong voice, made this part of the program one of the best features of the evening. Hayes is a prodigy­ in this line of work and he maintained his reputation on, this occasion. The instrumental duet "Twittering Birds” reflected much credit upon the Misses Clara Sylvester and Agnes Feighner as pianists. To Ecod .Wotnbjig was left the responsible'task of Eulogizing the vir­ tues and ridiculing the imperfections of his classmates. This he did in an admirable manner, mixing with the serious parts just enough wit to make it palatable. His talk in general showed that much time and attention was given the subject. The class motto, "After the Rattle the Crown” was Harry White’s sub­ ject and when we say that he did hon­ or to himself, his teachers and his class as a whole, we only express the sentiments of all who were present. The oration was full of profound • and impressive thoughts and his delivery was of the very best. Another pretty song was then rendered by Mrs. O. M. Hui linger. Her selections are always enjoyed by Nashville audiences and this one was no exception. The class prophecy was delivered in a novel apd interesting manner by \f4 ;• nd C R M ‘“’‘flUtfL The effort was an ingenious and well prepared one, in which the authors re­ vealed the future of their classmates by referring to kodack pictures taken while out on an extended trip. The couple showed a far in sight into thefuture events, which made the. phrophecy an entertaining part of the program.

Blanco says that Hobson is not ex­ changed for the reason that tbe lieutenant and bis companions had an opportunity to see the defenses of Santiago harbor. and Lieut. Col. Roosevelt led the charge with great bravery. They scorned to hide themselves in the grass or underbrush, as the enemy did. and ultimately they drove the enemy back toward Santiago, inflict­ ing henry josses npon them, but with a loss to fhcmselves of thirteen men killed and at least fifty wounded. A number of Cuban* took part in the day’s fighting and forty of them were killed. The fight tasted an hour. The Span­ iards opened tire from the thick brush and had every advantage of numbers and posi­ tion, but the troops drove them back from the start, stunned the blockhouse around which they made the final stand and sent them scattering over the mountains. The cavalrymen wore afterward re-enforced by Seventh. Twelfth and Seventeenth in­ fantry. part of the Ninth cavalry, the Sec­ ond Massachusetts and the Seventy-first New York. Fourteen dead Spaniards were found in the bush after the fight, but their loss was doubtless far in excess of that. TROOPS FACE OSHKOSH MOB Striking Woodworker* Are Dispersed by Wisconsin Soldier*.

They mark the highest point in pill progress. To many people, any pill is a fit pill, and so long as it acts they don’t consider whether there’s any recoil in the action. Dynamite has a very moving effect, and so has an earthquake, but the consequences that follow are apt to be disastrous. There are pills as damaging as dyr.amite and as dangerous as an earthquake. Dr. Ayer’s Pills are Perfect in Preparation, Perfect to Operation, ► and their use is not followed by violent reaction. A grain of sand stops a watch. You don’t use blasting powder to eject the grain and start the mechanism going again. The machinery of the body is more fearfully and wonderfully made than a watch, and needs even greater delicacy in dealing with it Ayer’s Pills give just the necessary stimulus to start the bowels into healthy action. They correct the ill-conditioned liver and give a healthy tone to the stomach. Thus they cure dyspepsia, sick headache, heartburn, constipation, piles, and all diseases that grow out of the disordered condition of the liver, stomach, or bowels. ■ Ayer’x Pills are the best cathartic I ever used in my practice.” J. T. SPARKS, M. D-, Yeddo, Ind. * I don’t know of anything that will so quickly relieve and cure the terrible suffering of dyspepsia as Ayer's Pills.” JOHN C. PRITCHARD, Brodie, Warren Co., N. C. “ Ayer’s Pills do their work efficiently and do not gripe nor make one sick like so many other pills.” JOHN M. SMITH, Atlanta, Ga. “ Although mild in action and less liable to gripe than other purgatives, Ayer’s Pills are ' thorough in opurition and can always be relied on to cure diseases of the stomach or bowels." PETER J. DUFFY, Rockport, Tex. “ After twenty years’ experience, I know that Ayer’s Pills arc an absolute cure for tertian ague, bilious fever, sick headache,* flux, dyspepsia, constipation aqd hard colds.” J. O. WILSON, Contractor and Builder, Sulphur Springs, Texas. “We always used Ayer’s Pills in my father’s family. I am now fifty-five year* old and always have them in the house because I have found no better pill than Ayer’s." MARY JACOBUS, 711 E. Chestnut St., Ml Vernon, Ohio. ▲ JU A W" What if Not Mhacles?

Barbarity at Wauhlngtoa, D, C. In broad daylight and in the pretence of -«jui(e a hundred people a murder wax com­ mitted iu one of Washington-* public parks the other evening. George W. Horton, nn ex-member of the Washington police force, and Jane Nicholson, a di­ vorced woman, were sitting on a bench in Armory Square, at Four and a Half •troct and Mfewonri avenue. The woman announced to Norton that she projxxwd no longer to sustain her relations with him. and was about to rise from the bench and leave him when he swiftly drew a •mail penknife from his pocket nnd with a blade gfbund to u razor edge slashed her across the throat. Her screams in a few •econda attracted scores of people who ■were in the park and its vicinity. Hor­ ton continued to slash the woman with the knife until she fell to the ground. Ev­ ery one of the hundred or more persona who were witnesses of the tragedy was •o paralyzed with horror that tbe murder­ er proceeded without interference until he Tmd almost severed the head from the body. The cries of the spectators drew the |x>lice. ami Horton was arrested with­ out resistance standing over the body of his victim. At the station house he calm­ ly admitted his deed- nnd expressed little regret. HISTORIC HOTEL BURNED. Clifton House at Niagara Falls Is Des­ troyed by Fire. The Clifton House, the only large hotel on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls, ■was destroyed by fire. A gale was blow­ ing when the fire broke out in the kitchen, and, despite the efforts of the Canadian and American fire comiuinios, the hotel was reduced to ruins. The American fire­ men who went over could not connect their hose with the Canadian apparatus. The Clifton was built in 1832 of brick, the front being four stories high and the rear six stories. The loss is 5100.000. The hotel was owned by tin; John T. Bush estate of Buffalo. Eighty-five guests, mostly English tourists, were at the ho­ tel, and every one saved his personal bag­ gage.

A Centennial ex­ position added ro the excitement of the period, and the Fourth of July, 1870, is perhaps the beat remembered by many people over a reach of a quarter of a century. The younger group of patriots may, therefore, be indulged in their efforts reaching out to make Independence Day, 1898, a notable Fourth. The Cuban fer­ vor he* invaded every home, every work­ shop. every schoolroom. Haarcely a pre­ paration but the "Cuba Libre!" idea has infused and influenced it. With patriotfsm»at high tide, pride and glory in a martial way displayed at close range, for the boy* nnd girl* of America for the first; time, the present Fourth of July will probably be. In years to come, m cherish-1 ed a s> was the Centennial to the children of veterans, nnd the close of the war cele­ bration to their veteran sire*. Evidence* that July 4, 1808, Will Live Long in History. There have been two celebrations of the Sourth of July within tbe ken of those of ie past generation that have been quite notable. All along the line since the Mexican war, political, anniversary or national events that were timely have made Inde­ pendence Day more or les* conspicuous, but in no sense commemoratively so. The two occasions referred to were tbe Fourth of July signalizing the close of the war of tbe rebellion, and that of the Centen­ nial year, 1876. Tbe issues of the civil wnr had been very great and solemn, and the sad and the practical cut some figure in making It rather a day of heartfelt gratitude and happy reunions to those who had taken part in the conflict However, the sous of veterans gave the occasion due eclat so far as noisy jollification waa concerned. That day will lw retnrmbcre£ by many now just crossing tbe slope of life. A great deal of powder was burned up, nome magnificent orations, and notable gath­ erings formed part of the general event and Independence Day that year marked quite an epoch and milestone fn the his­ tory of the same. Tbe Centennial year, 1876, came in nois­ ily, with guns, bell* and whistles, em­ ployed to tbelr full demonstrative capac­ ity, and New Year's day was reproduced as the Fourth.

Discussion by the Senate of tbe ques­ tion of Hawaiian annexation was begun nn Monday in open session. Tire princiIxiI speech of tbe first day was made by Senator Morrill of Vermont, in opposition to annexation. Tbe taking of a test vote (45 to 15) allowed the opponents of annex­ ation to be in a hopeless minority. Tbe House passed the general "deficiency bill, carrying 5224.000,000. The bill occasion­ ed little debate, and-It passed practically as reported to the House from tbe Com­ mitter on Appropriations. Tbe remainder of the day was given to District of Co­ lumbia buxinexH. The resolution for the annexation ot Hawaii was laid before the Senate al­ most immediately after it convened on Tuesday. Sjieeches opposing annexation were made by Mr. Mitcheil ot Wisconsin nnd Mr. White of California. After pass­ ing several bill* of minor importance the House, in committee of the whole, consid­ ered. without disposing of iL a bill to re­ fer to the court of claims certain claims of persons for property taken or destroyed. by the confederate invasion* into the soothers counties of Pennsylvania. Tbe bill brought on n long debate. Opponents of the pnnexntlon of Hawaii again occnpied the attention of the Sen­ ate ou Wednesday. Mr. White (Dem.. Cal.) resumed his speech begun tbe day before, but. after speaking two hours, yielded the fl(x»r to Mr. Pettigrew (S. D.). who discussed the resolutions for an hour nnd a half. Mr. White hnd not concluded / his speech. Mr. Pettigrew taking up the argument against the resolutions merely tn afford him nn opportunity to rest. Mr. Pettigrew maintained that the territory of the United State* wax already large enough, and ho believed it hi* duty to re­ sist the acquisition of any territory inhab­ ited by a people far inferior to ours or so located ns to require a nary to defend it. Discussion irrthe Senate of the Hawaii­ an annexation question was interrupted on Thursday by Mr. Rawlins ot Utah with a speech iu which he criticised vigorously tbe provision embodied in the conference report on tbe Indian appropriation bill which acknowledges the right ot Indians to lease mineral land* on their reserva­ tions. At 1 o'clock tbe Hawaiian resolu­ tion was calle*! up and Mr. Pettigrew of South Dakota resumed hto speech in oppo­ sition. addressing the Senate for about two hour*. Mr. Pettigrew, on account of fatigue, yielded the floor to Mr. McEnery (Deiu.. Ln.), who presented & constitution­ al argument against annexation. At tbe session of the House further agreements upon the sundry civil bill were reported from the committee on conference and adopted, and further conference upon the remaining points in difference was re­ quested. A large number of bills of minor importance were passed and sixty-three pension ahd relief measures were dixjxised of. pursuant to the recommendations reached several day* before in committee of the whole. The House adjourned until Monday. The conference report on tbe bankrupt­ cy bill .was reported to Congress Friday afternoon and was immediately agreed to in the Senate. 'Hie bill a* agn-in! to to a compromise between tbe provisions of the bills paused by the Senate ami House re­ spectively. The Senate bill wa* known n* the Nelson bill and that of the House as the Henderson bill. The latter was far more liberal to the debtor than the former. The compromise leans to the House side of the question. The Hawaii­ an annexation resolutions were under dis­ cussion in the Senate. The speakers were Mr. McEnery (Dem.. La.), who concluded his addres* begun on Thursday, and Mr. Turley (Dem.. Tenn.), who presented a constitutional argument against the res­ olutions. Filibustering tactics were begun in the Senate Saturday afternoon on the Ha­ waiian resolution. Senator Morgan took to task the men who were defyhig public sentiment, nnd. ax he said, misrepresent­ ing their const it nents and embarrassing the President. Ax a result Senator White ' made an insinuation that may result iu a settlement outside of the Senate chamIht. Mr. White said that Morgan'* state­ ment* proceeded from "wrruptiou or im­ becility," and the latter intimated tjiat he would require u jn-rxonal explanation. Th® conference report on the sundry civil bill was presented. A long dtseu<xion fol­ lowed on the proposition of the confer­ ence committee that the Senate recede from it* amendment suspending Presi­ dent Cleveland's forest reservation order mid restoring to the public domain for homestead entry the tends embraced therein. Finally the conference report (partial) wa* agreed to and a further con­ ference ordered. The House wns not in session. Tbi* and That. Never despair; but If you do, work on in despair.—Burke.

Dulcie can explain her enigmatic epistle.” It was a long time before she could I steep. When sleep did come it waa brok­ en by dreams. She thought that she waa walking barefoot over sharp, jagged rocks. The ride was lapping in betxeeu them, and sea weed floated about in its current. The light was faint, and more Than once she stumbled and felt her feet ■inking in ooze and sand. But all the time she waa conscious of a hand graaping hers—a strong hand, on which she leaned trustfully. Suddenly this hand loosed its hu‘d. and. looking down to discover the cause, she recoiled in horror. They were fleshlcsa fingers that she ciaspod. She •alted aloud in her terror, and tried to shake off tbe awful thing. Slowly it unclosed, and, as it fell “In some cases that might lie pleasant­ er than n definite os*, might it not?” He took his cigar from his mouth and bowed with most profound gravity. “Lt fills me with repvt.

A beauty strong*than the beau­ ty of the night had laid ittspell upon him. This ready-tongued Dulrie, with her flit­ ting blushes and fathotulNS eyes, was ft very loadstone that drew his heart out of his keeping in spite of all bis prudence In the house behind them they could hear Percy Stanhope singigf “My Pretty Jane” with fervor nnd effect. Dulcie’s saffron-colored robe, with its low, square bodice, and tight sleeves ssatcely reach­ ing tn her elbows, shone frintly in the dim light. 8he wore a spray of jasmine at her bosom, and, as Hugh Fleming bent toward her, its pleasant jprfume was wafted past him. “How good it will seem to !»▼«• Esther long.” “No, indeed it emphaticslly.

"Mr. Fleming”—very suddenly nnd se­ riously—"do you believe in fate?" “I do, nnd I do not. If you allude to that destiny that ‘shapes our ends, roughhew them how wc will,’ I do believe in it.

In nli. her gay, feted life, no man bad ■rer spoken to her like this. She never remembered her mother, anfl her father had died before she was busn; so thnt in all the world there hull been no one who eared to xpeak seriously to this willful, |>ette<l Dnl<i<“. "Ah, you nre good,” she said, with a lotfg-<lrawn, quivering sigh; "and that makes everything seem *o different to you. But for people who are not good, people" like mo, you know”—smiling to make her words wviu less serious—"it is often very hard to know what one’s jiroper place is, much less to fill it well." The syntax was rather confuse*), but tbe moaning was plain enough to him. ” To thine own self l>e true, and it must follow, ns the night the day, thou const iu»t then be false to any man.’ That was only a worldling’s reading of the divine eonimntui, 'Love God, nnd thy neighbor ns thyself.’ We can’t 1* trne to our­ selves," he said, very low nnd gently, not looking at the girl's trouble*! face, but |mxt it nt the quiet sky, "unless we are true to our Master. If we nre true to Him. noliere me He will give us our pro­ per places, nnd show us what work to do." Heavy tenrs were in her eyes, her lips trembled. Something in her heart, willful enough, yet not hardened, warfned to­ ward this man, who, without seeming to jxvach to her. yet spoke so frankly. She held her, hand out to him almost shyly. •Thnnk you. Mr. Fleming; I shall not forg**t your words." Al that moment Percy Stanhope came sauntering toward them. He was barehead***!,' nnd on the grass his foots:ejn* were Inaudible. "We wondered where you had both got to”—dropping on to the bench languid Ik. “Wns it wise of you to stay out so long in that light dress. Miss Lerqsque?’— looking nt her bare threat and arms, which the lace ruffle* could not hide. "Perhaps it was not wis**; but it hns been very pleasant." As she turned away, Hugh Fleming saw a white paper slip from the folds of her train. It was her uncle’s letter. “You hnve lost this. I Iwlleve”—lifting it and bolding it toward her. "Miss Levesque is rather In the habit of dropping her letters about,” Percy Stnnhoix* interposed. “Indeed! What makes you nay that?' "Well"—laughing dryly—"you would hnve lost that one. but for Hugh; nnd if I nin not mistaken I found a tetter of yours on Brierton Common this after­ noon." They were walking slowly toward the .house, but nt this she stopixsl. “If you found a letter of Thine," she said, excitedly, "why have you not re­ turned it?’ Hugh Fleming looked at her, a lit:.’ surprised at her vehemence, but I’er Stnubope smiled maliciously. ‘ "I have only waited for an opportunl . to do so.” ‘Then give it to me now"—imperiously. Her face was pale, her ej es glowed. As be handed it to her. she looked into his eyes. The rage in them hnd fright­ ened her. Had he rend it? she wondered. No, surely not! He was too true a gentleman far that. But, when she Isoked at the letter that night in her own room, she found that it wan without its envelope. In that case he must have read it partly, or ho would not hnve known to whom it belonged. Hot blusht*s dyed her face nt the thought.

Site stopped on the mat to listen, the light shaking a little with tbe trembling of her hand; but everything was quiet. At the sound of her footsteps some one rose up from the depths of a great chair and looked toward her. It was Percy Stanhope! "Dulcie!” Then he atrode across to her, and. took the light out ot her hand, and held her up, with his arm about her waist, or she would have fallen to tbe floor. He looked pale and worn, even 111. She saw that In the midst pf her fright, and her heart gave a great throb of pity. "Whoever thought of seeing you here at this’hour of the night! .What brought you down?” She struggled out of his arpis and loan­ ed against a table. Tbe color hnd come back to her face with a rush. Yet still she trembled. “I had forgotten something”—very low :mm1 faint. “And when I was going back upstairs I heard a noise iu here; and I— was frightened.” "I should think you were”—grimly. He had put her candio down on a chair, where it flickered, looking wan nnd white in the gaslight. He stood right opposite to Dulcie, looking nt her; nnd the girl shivered faintly ns she felt the love and anger and cruel power of that look. She would have run away if she could; but her limbs shook under her. “So you have consoled yourself al­ ready? I might have known you were not u woman to live long without a lover. I hope you arc going to treat this fellow better than you treated me. Don't break his heart—you have broken mine. It's dangerous pastime, let me toll you.” (To be continued.)

Superintendent Parmelee then intro­ duced, in happy words, the speaker of OSc* and realdence the evening, Hon. Charles E. Town­ send of Jackson. Mr. Townsend is a politician and he frankly admits that he cannot make anything but a politi­ cal speech, and tells a good story to. prove it. He talked politics to the class of ’98, and to the audience a* well, but it was patriotic, not partisan politics, clean, pure, honest, elevat­ ing, showing clearly toe pitfalls and snares of dishonesty and the whole­ some, uplifting, ennobling virtues of honest, upright citizenship and states­ manship. It was a remarkable speech in many ways, and we wish it might .penally. have been heard by every young man and woman in this vicinity. It was sound, solid, nensible, and patriotic to the core.) If all politicians studied their lessons along the same lines, American polities would be an honor and knavery would be unknown in the high places of our laud.

The exercises were concluded with Herman’s “L*ap Year” waltz, by the Vermontville orchestra, whose fine music rteeds no extolling from our pen, their merits being too well known •MJ.UW by our readers. Taken as a whole, the exercises 1100,000 were an unqualified success, and our best wish for toe class of ’98 is that their lives may be as bright and Mlrfugan.) happy as their graduating exercises.

At present there is no reg­ ular time for departure or arrival of mail, for the department has to depend upon the dispatch boats that arc sent in from the fleet for supplies. An enormous quan­ tity of soldier mail is received at Tampa daily. It comes by the carload. The 1(1.­ 000 soldiers receive a great many more letters than would be sent to the same number of citizens in the ordinary walks of life. The i>o«tnl agents at Tsmpn hur­ ry them ns much ns possible. They nre assorted by regiments, nnd upon their ar­ rival at Santiago orc delivered to the proper officers. The officials nt the Stntc Department and the German ambassador both agree that there is the b<*st possible understand­ ing existing between Admiral von Diederichs and Admiral Dewey nt Manila, and that the former recognix<-s the latter as in control of the situation. While be may land marines to protect the German con­ sulate and the property of German resi­ dents in Manila he will not do so without permission from Admiral Dewey. Every­ body who knows the facts agrees that there is not the slightest concern regard­ ing the present or future attitude of the German authorities nt Manila. It ha* been asked why the rough riders nnd other cavalrymen fought oq foot in Cut® the other day. Because their horses were left at Tampa. Transport* were so scarce that it was considered advianble not to carry any more live stock than ab­ solutely necessary. A horse iM-cupie* as much room on shiptioard as three -men, and if the 1,200 horse* of the rough riders had been taken they would have crowded put 3,000 men. The horses were therefore left at Tampa in charge of a major and two companies of troopers, nnd the rough riders are fighting as infantry. Everybody is glad thnt Captain Sigsbee han hud n chance to distinguish himwlf. There wns au impression among bis friend* that Sigsbee s&onld have bad a better detail than an auxiliary cruiser: that he should hare had at least a veusel equal in importance to the Maine; but everything of that nort wan taken, and the St. Paul wa* the be*t ship in sight. He has done good service with her and carries a promise from the Secretary of the Nary that he shall have the next bat­ tleship that need* a commander. Commodore Watson will carry to Spain with him on his supply ship* 10,000 tons of eoal. 5,000 tons of refrigerated meat and plenty of bread nnd vegetables, and he will have a regular market wagon run­ ning back and forth across the Atlantic so that his sailors will not get hungry. The military authorities of the United States hove a theory that a sailor will fight better when he is well fed. In diplomatic quarters it is stated that no steps have been taken thus fnr in the direction of pence overtures from any quarter, and that it is not likely such over­ tures will come, either from one power or from a combination of powers, until the military situation materially changes by a decided victory or a decided defeat. The President is very much gratified at the comments of the foreign press uj»on the work of the rough riders nt La Qua­ sina. The United States has no reputa­ tion as a military power. We arc general­ ly regarded as a quaker among nations, and this little dramavlc exhibition of cour­ age will do more to attract attention and raise the estimation of foreign critics for our army than a dozen ordinary battles. Gen. Shafter has complained to the au­ thorities at Washington of the immediate need of horses, both for the rough riders and the other regiments of cavalry, and cently purchased from the Atlantic Trans­ portation Company are available the ani­ mals left st Port Tampa can be shipped.

The most authentic and reliable news yet obtained of the true condition of af­ fairs in Havana was furnished to a rep­ resentative of the Associated Press by a British subject, who arrived at Key West. He rays a reign of terror exists at the Cuban capital. Captain General Blanco has issued a proclamation announcing that anyone daring to express an unfavor­ able opinion cf, or suspected of being disaatlsfied with the present policy of the Government, will be summarily shot with­ out trial or Investigation. This proclama­ turn, it appears, caused dissatisfaction among members of the Orden Publico, or police force, who threatened to revolt. Some trouble was expected, os the Orden Publico is a numerous and well-armed body of men. The result i* thnt the Orden Publico patrols the city and it* members are themselves policed, Spanish infantry and artillery soldiers mounting guard over them at every corner. Famine, it seems, is imminent, and stories ot the arrival of supplies st Havana by way of Batabano are pronounced to be untrue. The inform­ ant of the Associated Press thinks Ha­ vana cannot possibly hold out six weeks longer. The city is pronounced to be panic-stricken. Its inhabitants expecting every moment to be bombarded by the American fleet, as they realize that Cap­ tain General Blanco’s attitude releases the United States from the obligation of giving the customary bombardment no­ tice. _________ FIGHTING JOE WHEEI.EB.

The Hudson's crew are to be given a vote of thanks and medals of commendation. Captain Hodgson is to be suitably recog­ nized.

WHO GOES THERE? JULY 8. 1898 | FRIDAY The annual school meeting which is to be held at the opera house on Mon­ day evening of next week promises to be one of the most interesting, Id many ways, ever held in Nashville. Perhaps the chief interest centers in the annual report, which Is anxiously jQVkfll for btv a large number of our taxpayers. . Theta there is to be a new member elected to a place on the school board in place of .Wm. Boston, whose term expires the present month. Mr. Bos­ ton has had much experience on the board, and gives the work his careful attention. He has made a good man daring the past year, but say* he will not be a candidate for re-election. Then another question which will command universal interest is that of uniform text books. The legislature of 1897 passed a law Known as the uniform text book law, which provides that the state board of education, together with three commis­ sioners of schools, appointed by the governor, constitute a commission to select text books to be used in all of thu common or primary schools of the state. The books thus selected are to equal in quality those now in use, but at reduced prices. For instance spelling books are to cost 15c, first readers 15c, second readers 25c, third 35c, fourth 45c, fifth 6(te, intermediate arithmetic 30c, complete arithmetic 45c, primary geograpnv 36c, cvmplete geography 90c, and the same ratio will apply to all other books used in the schools, The price of each book will be plainly printed on the cover and dealers may be punished for charging more than the legal price. Il Is designed to have these books uniformly used In the state, except in the following cases, and here is where the judgment of the voter will be called into play next Monday night. Districts that are already furnish­ ing free text books to all pupils. (This district is not in that class.) Those that may by a majority vote determine to furnish free text books. Any district which shall determine by vote not to come under the law. Hence, while it is the duty of dis­ tricts to vote on the subject, it is op­ tional with them whether they con­ tinue as at present or declare for free or uniform books. The vote should first be taken on fi-ee text books, if it is rejected and the district does not vote not to come under the uniform law it will be considered as coming under kame, as the law provides that it shall unless the proposition is rejected. The object of the law, as can be readily seen, is uniformity, of which there can be little under the present system. A student moving from N’ashville to Vermontville would find the same books in use there, provid­ ing both towns were under the new uniform law. He would begin there, where he left off here, familiar with the books and methods. There is nothing to hinder a district voting not to come under the law from adopting the same books selected by the commission later on if it is deem­ ed advisable. It would seem that the law, as passed by the legislature, will be of little value as far as securing uniform­ ity is concerned, for the reason that there is no compulsion about coming under it. The cheapness of books, how­ ever, is a redeeming feature, and as they are guaranteed to the standard of those now in use great saving would thus lie made to individuals. Some of the members of the board of education favor awaiting the result in districts which may makethe change this year. If it proves successful there is nothing to hinder taking advantage of opportunities qffered at a latter date. Every voter should make it a busi­ ness to become posted on this matter before voting. To act at random on matters pertaining to the school system is dangerous and a good un­ derstanding of the matter f» most es­ sential. H. FL Pattcngili, formerly superin­ tendent of public instruction, is against the new law for reasons which he explains as follows: “Let no district fancy that by taking no action it will not have to change books. Only free text book districts are safe. A vote must be taken or the Grab am-Forsyth octopus, the de­ formity text book law, will fasten its claims' on the unwary. Bring on your lighning rod agents, your gold swindlers, your Bohemian oat specu­ lators, but deliver us from patriots who wish to saddle on the state, ‘un­ sight and unseen, ' a system of books which is as yet a mere chimera, and whose shibboleth, ‘uniformity’ is but a decoy duck with which to wheedle the simple minded. The entire scheme is but a skillful dodge to bring about a wholesale change of text books. Ti*e provisions of the bill itself de­ feat any measures of uniformity un­ der which it is masquerading.” hoped .that the parents of boys in the towns will see that they something to keep them out of mis­ chief, now that school has closed.” This advice h a good one nnd if fol­ lowed by the heads of families in our own village the youth would be much ■ Who goes there?

Sweet i>eace brooded over the night and the effulgent beams of the pale moon spread u hallowed radiance over-the earth. Suddenly two dark forms loomed up through the shrubbery, stealthily making their way toward the highway. In each hand of each of the midnight maraud­ ers loomed up the precious form of a fat pullet, just stolen from the hen roost of the honest tiller of the soil. Think of the rude shock of such an awakening from the sacred reveries of a peaceful night! Powerless, on account of her dishabille, to do any­ thing herself, she hurriedly summoned her sleeping husband, but his shot gun' was not loaded and before he could get his ammunition ready and his decks cleared for action the enemy had vanished from sight, and four more victims had been added to the list. The farmer’s wife claims the marauders looked as though they might be druggists pr bank clerks, but the farmer rather, inclines to the belief that the preachers had a hand in the affair.

INCIPIENT INSURRECTION IN PUERTO RICO CRUSHED. covered and Put to Death-Cloud*pie and D»»nge Much Property. It is reported that Captain General Ma­ chias of Porto Rico hns recently discov­ ered a conspiracy which, tad it not been effectively nnd quickly dtteked, would «oon hare tad the Island in n state of in­ surrection such as now exists in Cuba and the Philippines. Eduardo Basclgn and Damian Castillo, both prominent native Porto Ricans and the active leaders in the incipient insurrection, have been ex­ ecuted and three others—Antonio Catena. Miguel -Morayata and Jose Muro—are iu prison awaiting trial by the military court which sentenced their two compatriots to death. The conspiracy was discovered by ths 'Spanish postal authorities in the island through a letter written by Castillo to Baaelgn. Gen. Macias was informed ot it nnd a quiet investigation disclosed the fact thnt a number of the most prominent residents of the city, native and foreign, •were involved. The headquarters of the eoiwpiratora were found, and also a quan­ tity of dynamite, arms and provisions, evidently intended Tor the equipment ot n Hinn 11 force. It was the in­ tention of tlie leaders after their plans had la-en matured to publish us widely as possible- a proclamation, calling upon all native and patri<<c Porto Ricans who bold liberty dearer than life, to join them and accomplish the overthrow of the Spanish Government and the death of the governor and his officials. It is believed by many that the execution of Castillo nnd Baselga. instead of checking the inuurrection, will have the opposite effect. The nrtlitary guards around the palace and the Government buildings have been doubled, as it is believed that the con­ spirators intended to blow them up with dynamite. CZARINA WAS POISONED.

The State Department at Washington received two importai;» dispatrtaa from the Americaa consul at Vera Cruz. Mex-' ico. The consul states that a large fleet of schooners was there in the harbor and that supplies were being brought to tbe .wharves for shipment. The consul states that he has every reason to believe that the supplies were intended for the Span­ iards in Cuba, and he advises the State Department to notify tbe Navy Depart­ ment to make strenuous efforts to capture the fleet of schooners if an attempt is made to reach Cuba. Other advi^s re­ ceived at the State Department from Mexican ports Indicate that a concerted move is being made along the Mexican coast to rush supplies to the Spaniards. A telegram states that 1,000 bead of cat­ tle are being loaded on the vessels in the Gulf of Campeachy.

Party Ministry Arranged for the First The other morning at about 4 o’clock T. J. Kratxman, operator and night ticket agent of the Big Four Railroad at Sidney, Ohio, waa shot and perhaps fatally wound­ ed by a strange man. whose object was the robbery of the office. Kratxman was busy when the man entered the office and ordered him to open the safe. Kratx­ man first thought the Intruder was some officer of the company who waa trying his nerve. He refused, and. finding that the man was in earnest, he told him he would not open the safe, but would give him his watch. The robber came forward to secure the watch, when Kratxman grap­ pled with him. In the struggle the stran­ ger drew a revolver and shot Kratxman In the breast, the bullet entering his lungs. The stranger csca(>ed. Kratxman ran to a hotel, where he gave the alarm aud fell unconscious from loss of blood. Okuma Stagaki has formed a new cab­ inet at Yokohama. It ia the first party cabinet in the history of Japan. The res­ ignations of the Marquis Saigo Taugumichi, the minister of marine, and Lieut. Gen. Katsuri.-the minister'for war, were not accepted. They will retain their posts in deference to the clan feeling among the officers. The new cabinet has been con­ stituted as follows: Premier and minister of foreign affairs. Okums Stagaki; minis­ ter for the interior, Itagaki; minister of marine, Marquis Balgo Tsugumichi; min­ ister pf war, Lieut. Gen. Katsuri; minis­ ter of finance, Mataudn Masihiso. R.

Ky., whose home is now in Baltimore, has been in Lexington organizing a stock company for the manufacture of a sub­ marine torpedo device for which be baa applied for a patent. Tbe plans and spe­ cifications have been submitted to experts nnd the machine hns been pronounced a wonder. Prof. Paul Anderson of the me­ chanical department of Kentucky State College has examined it in the interest of the people who propose to Invest in tbe machine, and says it is of perfect mechan­ ism. It is a thlrteen-fout torpedo, which is to be sunk into the water aud can be sent a distance of eight miles to whatever object desired, being controlled by electri­ cal attachments. Its inventor also claims that it can lie used to locate and destroy mines In harbors and to transport mes­ sages to and from ships through the wat­ er. A practical demonstration has beeu made with a model one-fourth the propos­ ed size. Fitzhugh spent several years in tbe Unhed States nary and was for years an expert in the Inventors’ Association at Washington. _______ The case of Fred Lumpff of Peoria, 111., the traveling salesman who triad to com­ mit suicide in the woods near Woodland HHla, is one of the strangest ever known in Cleveland. It seems that some weeks ago Lumpff was exposed to great heat in the sun and complained that he felt as though hb brain wore going tack on him. It is supposed that he was snnstruck at the time. However, he grew better and went to New York and transacted busi­ ness there. On the train coming toward Buffalo from New York he read in a pa­ per that a woman had poisoned her 4months-oid child and then taken her own life. He either misread the article or as­ sumed something was missing therefrom, because he made up his miud it was his wife and his child.

Mr. Caffery bad not concluded his speech when the Seqate adjourned. The House devoted the day’s session to consid­ eration of legislation affecting the District of Columbia. The messages of the Freab dent relative to Naval Constructor Hob­ son. the fiudson officers and crew at Car­ denas and Capt. Hodgson, ot the Hugh McCullough, nt Manila, were not read un­ til late. Few members were present, and the reading wns not marked by any dem­ onstration. -In the House on Tuesday tbe conference report ujx>n the bankruptcy bill waa adopted by a rote of 134 to 53. When the bankruptcy bill wns disposed of Mr. Ma­ hon (Rep.. Pa.) asked unanimous'consent for disagreement to the Senate amend­ ments to the war claims or "omnibus” bill, and for grunting the request of the Senate for a conference. Consent was given nnd the chair appointed ns con­ ferees Messrs. Mahon, Otjen and Rich­ ardson. Several bills affecting the army were passed, notably being those provid­ ing for the pay of volunteers from the date of enrollment for service, and provid­ ing for increases in the ordnance, engineer nnd qunrtmnnster's de|iartmcnts. Al­ most the entire session of the Senate was occupied by Mr. Caffery (Dem.. La.) in a continuation of his spewh against the an­ nexation of Hawaii. At 4 o’clock he tad not concluded, but yielded the floor in or­ der that the general deficiency bill might be considered. The bill was read nud the committee amendments, so fur ns they have been offered, wen* agreed to. ■ A precedent thnt will be historic was es­ tablished by the Senate nt its session on Wednesday. For probably the first time In tlie history of the Senate a resolution wns ndopted tendering the thanks of Con­ gress to common seamen, specifically nam­ ing them in the resolution. The resolu­ tions recommended by the President were adopted, tendering tbe thanks of Con­ gress to Naval Constructor Hobson and the other heroes of the Merrimac, nud to Lieut. Frank II.

An amendment of great importanc-e waa attached to the bill, practically by general consent. It relates to the settlement of claims of the Government against thePacific railroads. The bill ns passed car­ ries about $227,000,000. the largest sum carried by any appropriation measure since the civil wnr. After the passage of the deficiency bill consideration of the Hawaiian annexation resolutions was re­ sumed. Tlie Hotise nftcr sending the In­ dian nud sundry civil bills back to confer­ ence, consideration of bills from the Mili­ tary Affairs Committee, under the rule ndopted on Tuesday, proceeded. Notable among the measures passed were those providing for the enlistment of cooks in the army, providing for tlie appointment of military storekeepers for the army, pro­ viding for the protection of harbor de­ fenses nml fortifications against wanton and malicious injury, and giving the Sec­ retary uf War discretion to jicrmit any church or religious sect to erect its house of worship ui»ou tbe West Point military reM-rvatiou. Late Thursday afternoon the Senate etatred the legislative decks fur what may be the final action upon the Ha­ waiian annexation resolutions. The last of the appropriation bills that hare been pending in conference were disposed of and was a law before midnight. After a debate lasting three hours the Senate fituilly receded from its amendment to the sundry civil bill nnd ndopted the confer­ ence report on the Indian aiqiroprintion bill. Mr. Bate (Dem.. TennJ nnd Mr. Tillman (Dem., 8. C.) discussed at length the Hawaiian annexation resolutions. The hitter discussed the race problem from the standpoint of a Southern man. nml wns characteristically vigorous ifj his remarks. An attempt to secure passage of the bill to incorporate the international American Imhk met with determined op­ position in the House. Filibustering waa indulged in. but it was not effective in preventing the consideration of the bill. Adjournment, however, was forcwl liefore n vote upon the measure could bereached. The House adopted the report upon the Indian appropriation bill, insist­ ed unanimously upou its disagreements to t,1P Senate amendments to tbe sundry civil bill and sent the general deficiency bill to conference.

You might have rested content with the first part of your work. You need not have come here to wreck the Inst hope of peace thnt wns left to me.” the young -fellow groaned, smiting his bands together with a force that made her start. “How could I tell," she cried, “thnt I should meet you here? Don't you know that I would have died-—yes, died!"— with a rising sob, “before I would 'have seen you again if I could have helped it?" "Dldn’PEsther tell you?” “She told me she was engaged to l>e married; thnt was all. And when I come here she showed me your likeness, nnd 1 never knew till then”—stopping an in­ stant to catch her breath—"thnt it wns my—that it was you she was going to marry; and now let me go!”—for he stood between her and the door—drawing her­ self up, and trying to look unconcerned and majestic. “Dulcie!"—nud he held out his bands to her with a sudden tenderness and pas­ sion. But she. pushed them from her, and ran out of the roofti and upstairs, not pausing to loqk behind her. Was she afraid that his eyes would have drawn her back and into those yearning arms if she did? As she got to the top of the stairs, Mrs. Hardinge opened her room door and look­ ed out. “Oh, It’s you, is it F—dryly. “I thought • we had thieves re the house when first I beard the voices!

The next morning Dulcie was up be­ times and dressed in one of ter smart­ est gowns, with her shining hair coiled daintily. She was good to see ns she came into the breakfast room. Mrs. Ilardinge was not down, only Mr. Hardinge and Hugh Fleming; so Dulcie presided at table. Percy Stanhope was nowhere to be seen, and she dared not trust her tongue to ask for him. When Mrs. Hardinge did come down she was in the very best of humors. "Where is Percy?” she asked nt once. “Off for a walk an hour ago," her hus­ band told her. "Oh!”—with a chill smile. "We used to hear that ‘early to bed was early to rise;’ but it seems he can rise early even if he sits up half the night before." Dulcie felt her cheeks crimson. "I'll pay you off for that, my lady," she said to herself, with a little frown of dis­ gust. After an early luncheon Mrs. Hardinge ordered tbe pony carriage, nnd drove to meet the afternoon train for the city. Very thankful Dulcie was to see her go. Percy Stanhope had not come back, nnd she had censed to expect him. Tfie house was very quiet and very stuffy. She hnd promised to meet Julian Carre that af­ ternoon in Elton lane, but she bad two hours clear before her ere that. What should she do with herself all that time? The question was answered for ber, for while she stood at the drawing room window, yawning and looking out weari­ ly. the Harvey carriage dashed up. and Esther herself got out. looking as cool and palo as If there were neither sun nor dust tn the world. Dulcie t^tshed the window open, aud ran down to the gate to meet her. "I am so glad you have come"—bold­ ing both hands-out, and lifting ber mouth to be kissed. "And 1 am so glad to be hero." "Now tell me everything." Dulcie re­ sisted, when Esther hnd taken her things off. and was resting cosily on the sofa. "I don't know that there is much to tell. They were ail very kind to me. and the house is something splendid—the kind of house one reads about, yon know. The pictures are lovely. And then the plate, and the old china, and tbe gorgeous little knick-knacks. I never knew there were such exquisite things in the world." “Ah!" Dulcie sighed. "And you might have been mistress of it. If I had only tbe chance now 7' Dulcie, Bitting upright on her low choir, shook her curly bead solemnly. "Words fail me, my dear Etty. But let me lie brief, nnd not barrow your feelings by unnecessary delay. The dresses have come." Esther burst out laughing, Dulcie join­ ing in; then a deep flush stole from chin to brow. "What would I not give." poor Dulcie thought, “to be able to blush like that’at the mention of my wedding drown 7’ The dresses were iu Mrs. Hardfoge’s private sitting room; it was quite crowd­ ed with the long packing cases in which those precious garments had come -from town. They were handsome dresses, and it is to be presumed they were fashiona­ ble, or Mrs. Hardinge would not have chosen them. One, in particular, took Esther's fancy. It was a black velvet, with a low, square bodice, trimmed with rare old laee. falling downward from it.' The sleeves came only to the elbows, nnd bad lace ruffles, soft and cloudy. But the wedding dress’ Dulcie lifted it »ut al­ most reverently, and spread it over tbe ire and unrelieved. The lace across tbe dogged tone so unlike his natural vofce. "I don’t want U> distress you in any way. Let us look at things fairly and calmly. This marriage can't go on, that is' cer­ tain. You must see that yourself." . She gasped and shivered, drawing away as far from him as the narrow plank would let her. . "It is hard on us Ml, heaven knows. I would os soon die almost, as give such pain to Etty:" and his voice quivered with a sudden inflection of tenderness that seemed.the keenest mockery in Dulcie’s ears; "but she would never forgive me If I married her with this love for you burning my heart out." "Oh, Percy," the girl cried out, "why are you so cruel to me? You are talking like a madman; I believe you are mad.

The color riie cried, vehemently. "You love her. came and went In her cheeks, her lips Do you think I am blind? Why, I knew trembled. It was not so much the beauty that you loved her the first hour I saw of tbe dress, ns the beauty of the life thntYou were happy would begin for her the dny she should you both together. enough then, you never gave a thought wear it, that made the girl's heart beat, and her veins throb, and that rush, as of to me. You will be happy enough when keen pain that was almost intolerable, >«wp over her. Dulcie guessed it all, nud turned away to pick out fresh treasures from the ciuhk. Her heart oched, oh, so horribly! She could have sat dowu in the midst of all this bridal finery, nnd cried some of the bitterest tears of ber life. But that would never do. Instead of that she smil­ ed and talked, and bustled about like a. gay little curious -fairy. At that moment a servant knocked at tbe door. “Mr. Stanhope’s compliments, Miss Es­ ther, and could you come down stain to see him, please ?” "Don't touch the dress," Esther called out at the door as she swept down stairs to see him. She was not many minutes away, nnd when she came back she horrified Dul­ cie by insisting on putting on the dress. "Oh, Etty darling, don’t do it,” Dulcie cried, starting up from her knees, where she hnd been smoothing out tbe plait­ ing on tbe shining skirt. "It's so awfully unlucky! Do listen to reason. No one ever did such a thing"—solemnly—"that did not come to grief." But Esther could not be turned from her purpose. Laughing, and blushing, nnd trembling a little in her shy, nervous haste, she put tbe dress on, and Dulcie, with something like a throb of dismay at her heart, helj?ed ber to do it. She tied back the long train, and buttoned up the tight sleeves, which looked, when they were closed, as if they had grown on to the round, plump arms. Then she went down, because Etty would have her go, nnd saw the look of rnptarous admiration that came like a flood of sunshine into Percy Stanhope’s blue-eyes at sight of this white vision that lingered in the shade of the doorway for a second, as if afraid to enter and face his gaze. Poor Dulcie! Tljere are such things as looks that hurt worse than blows, just as there are words that cut keener than knife blades! For an instant, spirit and flexh failed her. A shade of the agonyshe was enduring fell over her face. Percy Stanhope, looking past his Intended, saw this mute reproach hi ber eyes and on her lipa, and understood it. But it was only for an instant. One cannot cry out when one's hurt in this world of grown-up men aud women. The next moment she was smiling nnd shaking hands with him, in the most nonchalant manner possible. “Do you .know, Mr. Stanhope, that I am very angry with you both; you for asking, and Etty for granting, such an unreasonable request. Have you never heard that it’s unlucky to try no a bride’s dress before tbe wedding day?" , “I never have heart! it. Miss Levesque, but if I hnd. I should not have heeded. I should still have braved the ill-hick, and felt mysel^'weH rewarded.” There was uo mistaking the tenderness in his voice as he said It. Dulcie was far too keen to.mistnke it. This "white love" of his. nr he often coiled her, was so beautiful that his heart thrilled nt sight of ber; so beautiful that he longed for the hour to come that should make her his own, so that she might win bitn forever from this other love, that only lived in his heurt to tear it and wound it with vain passion. “Well,” Dulcie laughed, “I have warned you both, but, since you will not heed my warning. I shall waste uo mure of my val­ uable time upon you.” CHAPTER XV. . A lurid sunset over Brierton Wood. The birds were twittering restlessly. There wns the low, complaining "sough” of the trees to be heard over ths fiyt and dash of the river. Tbe little stream was brim­ med :<■--! he top of its banks, and swept by In no gentle mood, to make Its leap over the face of the old weir. Tlie light waa low ami brooding, with more of a sullen glare than brightness in it. All the fresh­ ness bad died out of the air. Dulcie Levesque. sAndlng upright as a dart on the plank bridge, which wns lit­ tle mon* than a foot wide, ncross the wat­ er. noted these signs of a coming storm with keen impatience. She was not afraid of the storm itself, but of the remarks it would occasion if she were out in it. OpjMMiite to her stood Percy Stanhope. She bad come to the wood Jhat afternoon Smect Julian .Carrc, and, to her deep agrin. she had come face to face with her old lover Instead. And be was in no cliqed to take upon himself to lecture aud dictate to Dulcie. He had wo her thnt pant day with her head on Julian Carre's shoulder, and be was wroth indeed with ber for it. "Ii was not prudent," ne said. "It wm not even .lady-like." "What right have you to talk to me like that?" Dulcie cried out at loot, roused to indignation by bis reproaches. “What is it to you what I do, or with whom I walk? I consider you are very imperti­ nent." "You do well to call me that,", waa bis bitter retort.' “Do you think you are noth- aa I live I shall ever forget what you "I think you had better."

Tbe sight of all this made Esther real- She was miserably unstrung. She had moved away from him to the edge of the frail, swaying plank. Tbe river flowed rapidly past, so rapidly thnt ber eyes ached aa she watched it, and n faint, sickly feeling stole around her heart and made her head swim. Tbe sky had turned from a dark blue to a dark cobalt. The birds had ceased to twitter, and, save for that turbid, swirling water, the place was intensely still. Her eyes were dark nnd misty; ber cheeks nnd even her lips were pole. “I nm going to be married to Julian Carre.” Her voice did not sound like her own as she said it No blush came into her face, no smile into her eyes. She looked and spoke like a woman half dazed. The harsh In ugh that answered her made her heart throb. “I wijih him joy of his wife, then." There came a low growl of thunder, and a patter of big rain drops. Dulcie started, and turned as if to step off the bridge, but be put out his hand, and would not let ber stir. "Oh. if I were only at home," she thought “if I w«»re only safe at homer’ “Percyshe said, trying to steady her voice, "I don't think you mean to be cruel to me, but you are. Can’t you see that we arc going to have an awful storm? I shall be drenched through before I reach home as it is. Don't keep me here any longer.” “Cruel to you, my darling! Have I been enrol to you? Then be sure I never meant it I would shed my heart's blood f<-r you, Dulcie." His bond came down heavily on her shoulder, and he drew her to him with a kind of sob. "Why.^the trial to forget you, to love Etty only and forget you, has almost kill­ ed me. Do you think I could be cruel to you?’ He drew her face to his breast, and stroked her cheek with fond, trembling fingers. “What fools we have been!” he burst out, pre»c:.tjy. "What awful fools we have both been, Dulcie! , sessed us to think we could lire without each other?" “If it be a sin,” she said to herself, as she lay iu tbe close clasp of his arms, “I cannot help it. I have uo strength in me to give him up." _ For a brief space there was silence betwceo them; such silence as has been well called "golden." Again and again her soft lips prised little furtive kisses on the breast of his coat, she thinking he did not know. Again arid again her eyes looked up into his, only to droop again under tbe weight of their happy tears. "I loved him first,” she thought. “I must love him best. Etty would not ask me to give him up if she knew." "Dulcie." bv said, presently, “we must not keep this to ourselves an hour leuger. Who shall tell Esther, you or I?" “Oh, I could not! I dare not! Oh, Percy, most she know?" When they had left the wood and come out upon the common, they found the sky one blaze of shifting clouds, which glowed and deepened about the ► •.ting sun. Tears came into Dulcie’s eyes.

Some years ago bearing a piping of chicks on the side of a manure heap In the barn yard. I searched and found a nest of self-hatched live nnd hearty or­ phans left on tlie cold world without a mother. And If any living creature knows best how hnrd n thing it is to be without a mother. It Is a new born chick. The chicks were saved, how­ ever, by simply leaving them where they were found nnd feeding them in a coop fitted to tlie manure heap, by which the warmth that had brought them safely into this cold world, safely nourished them until they were able to take care of themselves, which they did in a short time. Tfie natural warmth of fermenting manure was used to batch chlcka by Reaumur, that noted French scientist who Invented the thermometer known by bls name. It Is, nnd hns been for 2,000 years, in use by Egyptians for hatching eggs artificially. Mons. Iteaumur invested n neat box in which the manure might Im? placed, and under a nest kept covered by a piece of aheepskin or a bunch or soft bay, to retain thedxeat of the manure which seems to be ’ naturally that needed to hatch chickens. Now this old self-regulating apparatus may 1h* set n-going by any fanner’s boy, who Is not averse to the healthful. If disagreeable odor of a manure heap. The apparatus used for this purpose is quite simple. A small barrel, or a box. may serve the purj>ose; the manure being heaped and covered with straw as a shelter for the nest. A regulator by which air is given Is made in the shape of a pipe or spent having a thermometer hung Inside of It to note the temperature. This device Is far more certain than an Incubator, heated by a lump or by boiling water, for while tbe manure may cool down a lit­ tle It will never get too hot. and so cook the chickens before their due time. Cer­ tainly there Is a field for the farmer’s boys to try their skill and luck as we may say. and rear some chicks without the help or rather worry of the willful cross-grained and generally unsatisfac­ tory hen. which will ns soon as not beat a little chick to death If It stray with­ in her own special brood. 1 H. 8.

The program of the evening was I commenced, the supper being over, 1 with Mrs. C. F. Hough occupying the I honored place of toastmistress. With । Mrs. Hough’s addresses sprinkled । thoroughly with wholesome wit and I pleasantries, and with those to whom . toasts wen- given rv.-!>onding cleverly to the subjects assigned them, there । was no time when the program proved anything but interesting.

To hear a aelectfbn from Miss Marian j Potter of Detroit is considered a priv- ; ilege, and her kindness in consenting I to sing on this occasion was heartily j appreciated. Miss Blanche Powers also sang a very pretty solo that was j altogether pleasing.

In several places on low ground whole corn fields were totally destroyed, and potatoes, cab­ bage and all garden truck was equal­ ly as badly damaged. One or two more blows of this kind will make the prospect for an abundance of these crops look rather sick. It is discovered that farmers are prohibited from killing crows which devastate their corn fields by an act of the legist attire of 1897. Act No. 156 provides that certain birds, and all insectivorous birds except blackbirds, blue jays. English sparrows and butcher birds, must not be killed in this state? Authorities claim that the crow is an insectivorous bird, and as it is not excepted under the statute it is protected by law from the shot guns of the farmers.

KI '.'[<>i:-• FROBATE ORDEB Prices have fluctuated but little fn the past week, and there has been but a small amount of produce marketed. Wheat is off two cents since a week ■ago and butter and eggs are each a cent better off. The wool market is practically closed for 1898. Nashville dealers have paid better prices than those of any of the surrounding towns. and have bought large quantities. sea current in local markets were as follows: Wheal .88 Oats .22Com shelled, per bn., .40 Rye ..To Butter .10.

If you can not see any good in the town you live in it is time you were moving out and the people will thank you for it. Learn to stop croaking about your neighbors. Learn to keep your troubles to yourself and hide your aches and pains with a pleasant look. Learn to laugh; a good hearty laugh will do you more good than a whole quart of patent medicine.

TV*«hlneton special: The fightins by hind nnd sea around Santiago sheds new lustre on'American arms, It is a story of marvelous heroism, a fearlessness that overawed the foe and of unvarying success. On sea .the vic­ tories were bloodless. On land hundreds of brave men sacrificed! their lives and other hundreds will go through life maim­ ed. The nation owes the dead and the living everlasting honor for upholding the American reputation for valor, for from the landing of the army at Baiquiri the COMMODORE W. S.-SCHLEY. advance to Santiago was one continuous success. The Spaniards were strongly in­ trenched and fought gallantly, but every stronghold was storm<*d. Fighting in a ■tra.igv land, and in a fever-laden climate, wading through streams and piercing cac­ tus jungles, charging up hills on whose crest the foe Iny hidden behind intrenehments from which poured a st orin of lead, the dauntless boys in blue earned for themselves fame us enduring as that of the glorified warriors of old. But the laurels are not all for the men on shore. The fleet that had been kept in suspense for months awaiting an op­ portunity to attack the Spanish l*>ats at last saw tbe signal to open fire. The de­ spairing Spanish admiral had made bold to escape from the harbor and the Ameri­ cans went after him and drove bis ships against the rocks, strewing the Cuban shore fur miles and miles with Spanish dead. It was a picturesque scene—that Sunday chase along the Santiago shore— and its result will give it a place in the world's history of great naval encounters. It is a more crushing disaster for Spain than the destruction of Montejo's fleet at Manila, for tfiervera's ships were her pride and strength at sea. From July 1, the American troops hnd been promising Santiago “A Hot Time in the old Town To-night." They sung the rollicking ditty on the march and in camp, and they meant it. and though it was im­ possible owing to certain circumstances, to deliver the goods exactly on the min­ ute. Shafter's army had a settled deter­ mination to keep its promise. Truce was declared after Schley's de­ struction of Cervera’s fleet, but the little rest did not do the city any good, for the America^ fights while he is resting and rests while he is fighting, and in this case Sampson nnd Shafter and "Fighting Joe" Wheeler and the rest of the old war horses got their h<*ads together nnd con­ cocted plans to take the whole Sptutfsh army nnd what was left of the navy. The trouble at Santiago began Friday July 1. at 4 o’clock in the morning, with the American advance and n feint at Aguadores to the south by Gen. Duffield, nnd an attack on El Caney, to the north­ east of Santiago, by Geu. Lawton's di­ vision. The first shot was fired hy Capt. Allyn Capron of the First artillery, whose son, Capt. Allyn K. Capron, was killed in the chaiKe of tbe rough riders nt La Quaaina. It feii in the center of the town, and it was followed by a supply from Capron’s battery, ami from the Second artillery, under (’apt. Grimes, who hnd taken a good [xmition ut El Paso, until the de­ fenders of El Caney were completely overwhelmed by the generosity of their visitors nnd “vamoosed." Grimes and Capron then began to shell the outer defenses of Santiago.’ Under cover of their fire. Col. Wood, with the rough riders, started toward the works. The advance was rapid and brilliant, nnd the rifle fire of the cowboys was something for Spaniards to wonder at for many a day. The batteries were silenced, the enemy retreated. nnd Wood's command occupied a bit of killside where they could comfortable and shoot Spaniards for the rest of the day. During the fighting on the right Gen. Sumner had commanded the center, on ac­ count of Gen. Wheeler's illness, but by 11 :"0 o’clock Whcel-T decided he couldn’t stand it any longer and started for the front in an ambulance. On the way he met wounded soldiers being taken to the rear in litters, so he gave up the ambu­ lance, mounted his horse amid the fran­ tic cheers of his men, and soon had his headquarters established nt tbe front. By night tbe army had advanced two and a half miles all along the line. I«wton'a division bad driven tbe enemy be­ yond Ei Caney and down tht main road to Santiago, and bad occupied the suburb of Cabona. Gra. Chaffee hnd crossed the San Juan river. Shafter had sent 2,0<X) Cubans on transports to Aaerraderos to the west of Santiago bey to cut off Pando's advance nnd prevent the retreat of the Santiago garrison. Hampson's fleet bad pounded away at’the Morro Castle and hnd pulverised the fort at Aguadore*. Two thousand Spanish troojMs were pris­ oners, and about 400 Americans had been killed and wounded, The only semblance of u repulse wan at Agufcdorea on the1 ex­ treme left, at ths mouth of the San Juan river, and It is not certain that Gen. Duf­ field Intended more than a diversion at that point Before the second day’s fight began the line was shortened so that 12.909 Ameri­ cans were extended over a front of three mile*. Intrenchmeuts were constructed and re-enforcements and more ammuni­ tion brought up. Saturday morning the Spaniards were awakened bright and early, routed out of Aguadore*. nnd poshed along a little near­ er town. Hampson began dropping sheila into the San Juan barracks. Lawton be­ gan crowding the enemy's left, pouring in a fierce oblique fire. Cervera’s fleet, now passed into history, got the range of the American line and bothered the troops considerably. It was not Shafter's object to assajl the town.on the second day,- as he lacked siege guns, so the’ariny merely stood by and hold its position. ready for an ad­ vance in case Lawton's fire developed ex­ ceptional opportunities for a rush. Tbe purpose of the day was more than gained, as Lawton sent word to Shafter in the afternoon that he hnd taken several good |K>sitions for artillery. ’ It was on tbe third day that Cervera de­ cided that Santiago was getting too warm for him. nnd, like n gallant sailor, he pre­ ferred sinking in the open sea to dying like a rat in a trap. So he started to cut his way out.’ That was to be the end of the wanderings of tin? Cape Verde fleet, for the shore from Santiago de Cuba, sixty miles west to Point Tarquino, is strewn to-day with its wrecked and burn­ ed and battered hulks. It was a gallant dnsh, but fatal. The Coiou, the Infanta Moria Teresa,, the Vizcaya and the Oquendo, followed by the torpedo gunboats Furor and Pluton, issued from the harbor mouth, and It is probably due to one Hobson that they were compelled to come out one nt a time. They startl'd westward, and owing to that fact Sampson was cheated by a heartless fate out of the glory of battle, for which he had schemed nnd planned and watched and hoped and prnyed for six weary weeks. The acting rear admiral's flag­ ship, the Now York, had gone on a cruise to the eastward and was so far away when the battle began she did not catch up until it was practically all over. A Fight for Mxty Mlles. It was a running fight for sixty miles. The Iowa, Indiana and Oregon, the Mas­ sachusetts, Texas and Broklyn, and the little Gloucester allowed the Spaniards to get well out of range of Morro's guns and then turned loose a hurricane of shot nnd shell that never slackened its furious force until the last Spanish ship rau on the rocks. The Infnntn Maria Teresa, the Oquen­ do and the Vizcaya met their fate within twenty miles of Santiago.

Commodore Watson has been ordered to arrange his squadron at once for the movement against the Spanish coast. Within a week the Newark and the bat­ tleships Iowa and Oregon will be on their way across the Atlantic. Sagasta may it Was He and Not Pampson Who DI* rected the Santiago Fight. There is a disposition among Washing­ ton officials to give credit for the battle to the man that won the battle. It ..a* Schley's fight, not Sampson’s. Sampson wasn’t there. Schley was. Schley had been there for six week* watching that hot hole in the coast of Cuba and waiting for a chance to get at the enemy. He is the man who did the bottling. Then he lay day after day and week after week, waiting and watching, with the patience of an old mastiff, caring nothing that his name seemed to be left out of every dis­ patch to Washington, caring nothing that his was not the chief command, and that others might reap the fruits of bis vigi­ lance at the last, and when Cervera dash­ ed out of his hole Schley was there. It was not Sampson's fault that he was not in Schley’s place. Sampson was attend­ ing to his duty, and deserves thanks for that, but not for crushing the Capo Verde fleet, because be didn't crush it. If Cer­ vera had escaped, Schley, left on guard, would have Incurred the disgrace. He did not escape, and Schley, left on guard, deserve* the honor. GEXZRAL DUX ARBRX1O LIXAREI. Spaniards Seem to Have Concentrated Their Fire on Schley’s Flagship. When the Spanish fleet left Santiago de Cuba it was with the inteation to make for Cienfuegoa, the nearest port, to se­ cure coal and provisions. All the ship*' were very short of coal, the Cristobu.) Colon having only two days' supply, which she had secured st Santiago. T>» Spaniards concentrated their fire on the Brooklyn, hoping to disable that vessel, which they considered the fastest of the American warships, and thus give an op­ portunity at least for one or two of th* Spanish boats to escape. The Brooklyn was hit forty-five times. BROOKLYN A MARK.

Admiral Dewey can whip Camara if he comes to the Philippines. If Camara neither goes HOBSUN IS EXCHANGED. Hero and His Seven Companions Safe Within Our Lincs. The Spanish authorities consented to exchange Hobson and his men. and a truce was established for the purpose. The place selected for the exchange was under a tree between the American and Spanish lines, two-thirds of a mile beyond the intrenchments occupied by Col. Wood’s rough riders, near Gen. Wheeler’s 'headquarters, and in the center of the American line. Hobson and his men were escorted through the American lines by Capt. Chadwick of the New York, who was awaiting them.

But on the bridge v. as Wainwright of the Maine, nnd he didn’t forget. The Gloucester was struck time nnd again, but with her little aix-|*ounder* she set both l»oats afire, and they ran on the beach, where one blew up with her own torpedoes. The Colon. Admiral Cervera’s flagship, hunted like a wounded wolf, ran along the shore for sixty miles, looking fu» some refuge from the merciless attacks of her pursuers. She found none, and at last hoisted the white flag and was scuttled. American boats took off most of her crew, and the Spanish admiral surrendered as •gem a? be reached the shore. The lives I of 350 of his men were blown out by the I terrible hail of American shot. 1,600 were ' taken prisoners of war. and ail with but j one American marine killed. Gen. Shafter maintained his position and demanded xhe surrender of the city. The demand was refused, and foreign res­ to the Philippines nor returns to Europe, then Watson will run him down. It is in i the determination to push tbe war to the ! Spanish coast that the administration : hoi><*s for peace. The President wants to end the war speedily nnd intend* to make the fight so vigorous that Sjmin will be compelled to sue for peace or face utter annihilation. Frightful Destruction Visible on the Spanish Cruiser. The correspondents who visited the wreck of the Spanish cruiser Vizcaya af­ ter the fight found the upper deck of the ship completely gone. Frightful destruc­ tion was visible everywhere. Dead gun­ ners were found at their guns, and scores of dead sailors were found on the after deck amid the debris of small arms, brok­ en guns and wreckage. A great quantity of tbe equipments of tbe Spanish officers was floating about the wreck. Cubans Are Good Fighters.

The Spanish version of the sinking of the warship Alfonso XII. is that she was chased by three American warships while attempting to enter the i»rt of Mnriel, I nnd that her commander purposely ran : her ashore in order to avoid capture. Thtu official report adds that the Americans fired 6(10 shells at the VMMfl, and that she is a complete loss. It is said that the crew of the cruiser and part of the cargo were saved. win Not Seek Peace. A Spaniah cabinet minister is quoted in an interview ns saying that the pres-, ent Government of Spain will devote itself solely to the defense of the Spanish coasts, and that if negotiations for peace must be opened they will have to be con­ ducted by another Government, idents and non-combatants'began moving out. After four days of fighting as glo­ rious as any that ever graced the annals of a nation the invading army halted within 300 yards of tbe barbed wire fences of Santiago, and the city’s doom was sealed. Tbe total American ions is estimated at about 1,800 men. Tbe Span­ ish loss can only be surmised. WORK OF CONGRESS. Wounded Doing Well. The 325 wounded heroes of Santiago, who were taken to Key West for treat­ ment, are doing well. They are distrib­ uted between the marine and convent hos­ pital* and an unused cigar factory, which lias been transformed into a temporary hospital.

The passing of the second session of the LVth Congress mark* the close of the first war Congress in a quarter of a cen­ tury. Associated with the first hostile conflict since 1812 with a nation of an­ other continent, the annexation of Ha­ waii, and contemporaneous with a further movement tor territorial expansion, the present Congress outrank* almost any other that has ever assembled. Hawaiian annexation, Spain and Cuba, war appropriations and war revenue legis­ lation. organization of the vast volunteer army and expansion of the navy, and a new bankruptcy law were features of the aession. Urgent deficiency bills carrying millions of dollars were rushed through with far less delay than marked the course of an ordinary measure of little Importance. The total appropriations footi^d almost $900,(XX),OOO, and about. $359,000,000 of this was fur war purposes. It was the largest aggregate by any ses­ sion *ince the civil war, and the general deficiency was the largest separate meas­ ure since the $750,000,000 siqgh' appro­ priation in 18G3. The naval appropriation bill provided for three new battleship* four monitors, sixteen torpedo boat de­ stroyers, twelve torpedo boats and one gunboat. The urgent deficiency bills all carried provisions for aggressive work in the prosecution of tbe war. The general deficiency measure, enacted in the last days, carried a provision for refunding the indebtedness of the Pacific railroads to the Government. Cuba and Hawaii were the important matters of debate and provoked the most widespread interest. There were a-numl>er of messages from President McKin­ ley bearing on the Cuban situation, rang­ ing from the submission Qf a report upon the Maine disaster and the consular re­ ports, to the call for n declaration of war. The first real war leginlntion was when Congress placed, without limitations, $50,000,000 in the President's hands as an emergency fund for national defense. On April 11 the President, In a message, left the Cuban issue in the bands of Con­ gress. Resolution* were soon enacted and became law April 19 declaring that the people of Cuba ought to be and are free and independent and demanding that Spain relinquish its authority and with draw its land and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban waters and directing the use of our land and naval forces to enforce the resolutions. The declaration of war was passed by Congress and approved on April 25. Three day* before the declaration of war. Pres­ ident McKinley approved the volunteer act. Under it all the soldiers in the vol­ unteer army have been raised, embracing 125.000 men under the first and 75,000 under the second call. One feature of tbe session was the en­ actment of the war revenue law. Its framers expected It to produce $150,000,­ 000. Minor war legislation included the following: Organizing n volunteer army signal corps, organizing a volunteer brig­ ade of engineers, creating two additional artillery regiment*. adding 31.610 men; creating a United State* auxiliary naval force, not exceeding 2.000 enlisted men nnd appropriating $3,000,000 therefor, keeping life-saving station* on the Atlan­ tic nnd gulf coasts ojn-n during June and July for patrol purposes, authorizing as­ sistance to Cubans and providing them with arm* nnd supplies, allowing homestead settlers who volunteer to count their service in homestead requirements, resolutions of thanks to Dewey and hl* men. nnd the presentation of a sword to him and medals to hi* officers. Other important legislation, aside from war. included prohibiting the killing of fur seals in the north Pacific and importa­ tion of sealskins into this country; pro­ hibiting foreign vessel* from carrying merchandise directly or indirectly between United State* ports; an Alaskan home­ stead nnd right of way net, encouraging railway construction; appropriating $200,­ 000 for the relief of the Yukon miners; creating a non-partisan industrial commis­ sion to investigate immigration, labor, manufacture nnd business. Ln to in the session n general bankruptcy law was en­ acted providing for voluntary nnd invol­ untary bankruptcy. ,CATTLE ARE SCARCE. Stock Owners Holding Their Animal* for a Rise in Price*. From all |«art* of the West comp report* that cnttle are scarce. This fact Is lead­ ing a number of cattlemen to go lung distance* to make purchase*, as it is gen­ erally conceded that there i* money in feeding. From Mexico there comes a de­ ficiency of nearly 50 per cent in the num­ ber shipped through Colorado to Nebras­ kan and Kansas feeder* and the total receipts of New Mexico also fall far short of the customary. This fulling off of cnt­ tle passing through Colorado is in accord with the gross figures for tbe United States, which are as follows: In April, 1897, 73.489 cattle passed acron* the Mex­ ican border into the United State*, and the same month this year showed 35,158. For the first four month* of last year there were 130,049 received, and for the corresponding months this year therewere 72,639, a less numlicr than c*me in during April. 1897. The reason assigned for this year’* shortage i* that last year drained the Mexican frontier. From lux* Vega*. N. M.. P. J. Towner, InappetTir for Colorado, Kansas ami South Dakota, makes the following significant report, which speak* for itself. During the month of May he inspected 73.533 cat­ tle, 8.935 sheep and 469 horse*, making a total of 82.964 head, agnin*t 195.191 for the same period last year. These figures may be taken to mean that stock-owners are bolding to their animals in anticipa­ tion of a rise in price*, which it i* pre­ dicted i* certain in view of the war. Frank Moore, a Santa Fe Railway en­ gineer was shot and (>erhaps fatally wounued at Winslow, Arix. by Jesse Treat, another engineer on the same line. Treat also received a bullet in hi* body from a weapon in the hands of Moore. It was rumored that Moore’s divorced wife had been frequently in the company of Treat, and Moore brooded over it. The Hotel Latham of Hopkinsville, Ky., which cost over $109,000 when erect­ ed, wa« sold by a decree of the Circuit Court and purchased by John C. Latham pf New York for $16,000. TO HOIST THE FLAO. Admiral Miller Goes to Hawaii in the Phiiedeiphia. The Hawaiian Island* were made a part of the United States when President McKinley signed the annexation resolu­ tion*. Admiral Miller started at.once for Honolulu on the cruiser Philadelphia to hoist the American flag and take formal possession of the islands. It is said that the transition from the Hawaiian republic to a part of the Uriited States can be ac­ complished without the slightest delay or friction. A complete internal organiza­ tion already exist*, civil and military, and it i« pointed out that this does away with the delay of organizing a government, such Kp occurred when California was aduiittod. For the present the existing civil organization will continue, with President Dole a* chief executive, and this will run along until the fire commissioners appoint­ ed by the President prepare a system of organization and nut it into effect. Tbe Hawaiian Islands are made up of the islands of Hawaii, Oahu, Maui, Kauai. Lanni, Kahulane, Molokai. Nlhau, Kauln and a number of small islet*. Tbe area oY the islands i* 6.G4O miles, or alrout three time* that of Delaware. According to figure* of two years ago something over 105,000 soul* are added to the population of the United States and its territories by the annexation of the islands. Of the white and native population about onethin! spenk English. The Japanese num­ ber 25.000 and the Chinese 10,000. There are 15,000 Portuguese in the islands and 6.000 Amerififii*. while the British and German residents number 2.000 ehch. Late figure* on tbe native population give it a* 30,000, but the natives are rapidly decreasing in number. Eight of the isl­ and* are fertile and susceptible to culti­ vation. The four largest—Hawaii. Maul, Oahu ami Kauai—are particularly rich abounding In land fitted for sugar, cof­ fee. rice nnd fruit raising. On Kauai there are coffee plantations of 200,000 acres, and, next to sugar, which bn* al­ ways been the chief product of the isl­ ands, the cultivation of coffee is looked upon a* having rich possibilities. Rice is also destined to hold important position among the product*. Practically all of the trade is with the United States. The export* are $8,000,000 annually and the imports half that. The history of the islands begins with their discovery in 1778 by Captain Cook who named them after his patron, tbe Earl of Sandwich. Juan Gaetnno, a Span­ ish navigator, is credited with having seen the island of Hawaii a* early n* 1555. Annexation of the island* to the United States was agitated in Hawaii a* early a* 1853, and the question has come up at various times ever since. The recent rev­ olution and the overthrow of the mon­ archy are matters of to-day's history. TO INVESTIGATE SEA TRAGEDY. Murderous Course of Crew of La Bourgognvto Be Brought Out. A searching investigation will be made by the officers of the French line of the murderous course pursued by the crew at the sinking of the steamer La Bourgogne. The harrowing tales first told by the sur­ viving passengers are being corroborated by scores of person*, and in jx»int of cow­ ardice, brutality and crime this disaster nas nd counterpart in modern history. Armed with weapon* and maddened with terror, the sailors, waiters and oth­ ers of the crew took example from the panic-stricken steerage passengers and fought like savages to save their lives by casting the helpless into the sen. 8o swiftly did the great steamer sink that the officer* had no time to gain control of tbe men. and scores of lives were lost that might have been saved. The drowned number 549 men. women and children. Stories of the disaster afe unparalleled. Women and children were left to their fate. Men became raving maniacs through fear, and the number of cruel, deliberate murder* cannot be estimated. Many life­ boats and rafts were loaded with human freight, only to go down because no one had the presence of mind to release them. The crew took the best twats nnd raft* and started from the ship. Passengers clung to the sides of the boat and life lines attached to them until knocked in the head by the sailors. Italian steerage passengers, maddened by their peril, fought for place* on the boat*, stabbing men, women or children. Only one of the crew of lui Bourgogne, the second officer, endeavored to save the passen­ ger*. This man ran about the fated ves­ sel, cutting ropes which held fart the raft* nnd life preservers, and worked until the steamer foundered, going down to hi* death, the only brave man out of hun­ dreds. Charles Liebra. a Frenchman, tells a story of the accident which is corroborat­ ed by n dozen others. The Frenchman saw his two motherless boys sink Iwfure hi* eyes. A Iwat floated past him, and he tried to climb in. He was repeatedly struck with oar* and boathook*, and hi* arm* and head are n mass of cuts nnd bruises. He was rescued after being iu the water for eight hours, PEDAGOGUES AT WASHINGTON. National Educational Association Opens It* Meeting.

Quite unexpectedly the resolu­ tions providing for the annexation of the islands were brought to a vote iu tbe Sen­ ate late in the afternoon, and they were passed by tbe derislvs vote of 42 to 21. Early in Wednesday’s session of the Senate conferences of the lenders on both sides of the chamber were held and a tacit agreement was reached that n vote skould be taken Thursday. The opponents of an­ nexation had condnded their arguments, and as they had no desire to keep the Senate in session by purely dilatory tac­ tics, they announced their willingness that a vote should be taken as soon as Mr. White. Mr. Pettigrew and Mr. Allen had finished their speeches. Neither Mr. White nor Mr. Pettigrew spoke at great length, but Mr. Allen did not conclude until 4:15. It was evident instantly that a vote was nt hand.

The ships met in a dense fog sixty miles south of Sable Island. It was 5 o’clock in the morning and the feeble rays of the newly risen sun were unable to even partially penetrate the thick white mist that covered tbe ocean like a garment. The Cromartyshire was towed into Halifax by the Allan line steamer Grecian. A ragged wound in her bow and the absence of two of her masts showed the violence of the impact with the sunken vessel. • There were on board La Bourgogne 191 first £Abih passengers, J25 secund cabin and 295 tnirf class passengers (or Steer­ age), making a total of 611 passengers, in addition to which there were 220 in the crow, making a grand total of 831 souls on board.

Good leather, properly put together, makes a harness which will wear for years, is always in good shape and reliable, and is a source of 'satisfaction, because it Is always a pleasure to realize, in wearing out an article, that you have received your money’s worth. That is Invariably the case with buyers of our harness, because we pride ourselves on the quailtyof our goods.

FAVORABLE FEATURES. HOW­ EVER, ARE NOT LACKING. Pall Feason for Stock-Taking. Bradstreet's views the trade situation thus: “While the tone of general business ytartakes of tbe usual midsummer stock­ taking quietness, the number of favora­ ble features coming to hand has not ma­ terially lessened, nnd confidence in-a good tall business is still widespread. Business iu speculative circles is restricted, and the mew war taxes have bad an appreciable effect in reducing the volume of s;>eculalive sales by. so-called scalpers in grain and securities. The tone of prices, par­ ticularly for cereals, has shown a slight improvement for the week, and detailed comparisons with recently preceding :>exiods are still quite favorable. Our cereal exports continue in excess of correspond­ ing periods of previous years, wheat ship­ ments for the week aggregating 2,728,642 bashcis. as against 4.716.401 last week, •nd comparing with 2,502,606 this week a year ago, 2.167,076 bushels in 1896, 2,­ 317337 in lhO5 and 2377350 bushels in 1894. Corn exports show a decrease from last week aggregating 2.411.272 bushels, against 2,601,560 bushels last week, 2,■732,717 bushels in the corresponding week of 1897 and 848,368 bushels iu 1893.” AN OCEAN STEAMER BURNS.

At noon Turpie read the declaration of independence. Dur­ ing the session a large number of pension bill® were passed. . The debate upon the Hawaiian resolu­ tions continued in the Senate on Tuesday. Three speeches were made. Mr. Hoar ot Massachusetts in advocating annexation made a notable appeal against any policy of general territorial expansion as a se­ quence to the’ war. Mr. Lindsay of Ken­ tucky opposed tbe resolutions, directing his nttnckiprincipally against their consti­ tutionality. Mr. White of California re­ sumed his speech in opposition. The annexation of Hawaii is now ac­ complished so far a* the legislative branch of the Government h» concerned. Quite unexpectedly tbe resolution* providing for the annexation of the island* were brought to a rote in the Senate late Wednesday afternoon, nnd they were passed by the decisive vote of 42 to 2L Many amend­ ments were offered by opi>ouents of the. resolutions, but nil were defeated. The House, after a debate of four hours, con­ curred in the Senate amendment to the general deficiency bill, authorizing the Secretary of the Interior, the Attorney General and the Secretary of the Treasury to settle, with the approval of the Presi­ dent, the indebtedness of the Central and Western Pacific road* to the Government. The amendment was concurred in by a vote of 96. to 86. An amendment wa> offered nnd adopted to the Pacific Rail­ road amendment providing that unless settlement was reached within one year the President should begin foreclosure proceeding* to collect all money due th» Government. Both houses of Congress on Tburaday passed a resolution fixing the time of siue die adjournment at 2 o’clock Friday after­ noon. The routine proceedings in »-ach branch follow: Senate—A bill conferring upon Adjutant General Corbin the rank, pay and allowance of a major geuerai wna passed. Mr. Pettus sharply criticised the measure and charged that Gen. Corbin had l»een rapidly promoted by reason of political favoritism. This charge brought several Senators to their feet, among" whom were Messrs. Bate. Pasco and Ba­ con. all of whom testified to Gen. Cflrbln’a distinguished ability and special fitness for the position he occupies. Mr. Bewail, Mr. Hale and Mr. Foraker paid high trib­ utes to Gen. Corbin, warmly eulogizing him for the spk-udid reedrd be has made both on the field of battle and in the pq; 'sition he now holds. There was no di.vision un the vote by which the bill was passed. During the greater part of the session the Senate considered bills unob­ ject ed to on the general calendar, passing a large number of them. A bill to restore Major J. W. Wham, formerly paymaster In Q>e ^’nited States army, to his full rank and pay in the army was unanimously passed. House—The day was given to consideration of local measures by unani­ mous consent.

She was not crying- She hnd sobbed oat all her passion, till ahe had no strength to sob any more. Yet the pain was there still, the cruel aching pain that seemed to be tearing at the roots of her very life. Would it ever go away? Would, she ever •gain feel glad, and careless, and happy, as ahe had once felt? It seemed impossi­ ble. The agony that she hnd suffered before, when she had first lost her lover, had not been half so keen aa this agony •be was suffering now, when she had won him back again. It seemed to her that she dared never to show her face ns Percy Stanhope's wife, ns if all the world would know bow false she had been to the truest friend woman ever bad. nnd bate her for it. “Oh, that I bad never come here.1" she thought, turning her throbbing bead from •ide to side* in a rain search for ease. “Everything would have been right if I had only stayed away! Oh. Etty, Etty!" She could bear the crows outside ber window, holding tbeir 'nightly conclave! Tbe low, sweet cry of the cuckoo came up from the rain-washed fields. Inside tbe house all was quiet. Now nnd then n door would slam. nnd once Mrs. Hnrdinge, passing across the hall, called out some­ thing to Etty: save for this, everything was very quiet. The stillness was terrible to Dulcie. She lay nnd listened for some •ound to break tbe hush, till she felt aa If she were going mad. As she lay there, tbe pale evening light fell upon ber, upon tbe dusky bead and the white, bare arms •nd neck nnd shoulders. She burned and shivered by turns.

Strange fancies came into her brain, and she knew quite well that they were unreal, fantastic, and yet they tormented ber. “I am never to know peace again," she wailed to herself in a kind of despair. ‘•This is how I shall be tormented all my life, because I was false to Etty.” Old days were back with her, days when she bad tumbled In the hay fields with Esther and Lyon Durrant, her broth­ er. Lyon had been dead years, and she knew it; yet that did not hinder her seoing him exactly ns she used to see him. She wm sitting in the spacious old parlor at the farm, and Etty’a mother was piling her plate with home-made cakes. She was lying in the big white-curtained bed in tbe room above tbe pantry, and her cheek was close against Esther’s cheek, and she could feel her gentle breathing as she slept. Her eyes smarted with tears, •he felt as if she were choking. And nil the time she knew that these were but memories; that that dead past was over and done with. It bad nothing to do with the changed, miserable present; it never could have anything to do with the fu­ ture. The most trivial things came to ber remembrance, and held her fast, so that she could not think of the one thing of which she so wadted to think. She got up and bathed her face in cold water. That seemed to clear her brain and refresh ber. Then she flung n shawl round her. and sat down on tbe side of the lied to think. She remained there a long time, a creature tossed and torn between two master yearnings. Her whole soul cleaved to Percy Stanhope with a love as strong as death. It frightened ber, this wild, InteOM* passion; she had never dreamed she could ever feel anything like it. There was more pain than pleasure in It, more dread than either. “It would kill me to give him up, I think,” she said to herself, looking out at tbe gathering night, with fever-bright, smarting eyes. "Yet bow could I endure to make ber suffer, as I suffered when 1 first came here?” She could not forget Esther: she could not get the thought of her anguish out of her mind. Between the two loves her heart wandered to and fro, and could not find rest. As she sat there she heard a clock in the lower part of the house strik­ ing ten o’clock. The sound sent a thrill through her. All at once—without her having bad any former thought of doing such a thing—it struck ber that she should just have time, if she hurried, to catch the twelve o’clock express. “I will go to ray uncle.” she said, half aloud, slipping down off tbe bed and searching about among tbe things on her table for a light. “He will tell me what 1 ought to do; and, when I am gone,*per­ haps Percy will go back to ber.” Hbe could not keep back a sob as she said it it was like tearing the heart out of her body to go, yet she felt in some strange way constrained to do it.

Always milk In the same order and at the same time of day. Milk ns rapidly as possible without Irritating or worrying'the cow. Before commencing to milk, brush all loosd dirt from tbe sides and udder of the cow. Always milk the cow dry before leav­ ing her, but do not continue stripping after the milk Is all drawn. If part of the milk Is left nt each milking In the udder, nature will soon stop providing It, because It Is not taken. Always milk a cow la the same man­ ner, at about the same time and speed. Any change will irritate and tend to excite her. A cow will not “give down’’ her milk to a milker she’ hates or Im afraid of. and what she does give will be defi­ cient in butter fat There should always be a friendly feeling between the cow and the milk­ er. and milkers should not be changed If it can be avoided.

The fear j>t typhoid still prevails in Camp Alger, and Majors Parke and De­ vine, acting surgeons, have been inves­ tigating conditions tending to produce this malady. One of these surgeons said that "one patient ceuld put the whole camp on ita back.” The water supply is look­ ed upon as the principal source of dan­ ger. Some of the wells are sunk to a depth of sixty-five or seventy feet, but it is said to be possible for the germ of ty­ phoid to reach that depth, owing to the sandy nature of the soil.

A general Iximluirdmcnt began on San­ tiago Monday at 9-J15 in the morning. Many of the finest buildings in the city were reduced to dust. The slaughter and devastation became so great and so sick­ ening to the sight that Gen. Shafter again srtit word begging a surrender of the city before it was entirely destroyed. Tba Spaniards fought like demons, but were driven back nt every attempt that savored of a sortie. The-battleships Indiana, and New York and the cruiser Brooklyn, from their position,outside the hari»or, shelled the city. These terrible missiles of de­ struction. mostly eight and ten-inch shells, were hurled into the dty from a distance of over six miles. Simultaneously with the havoc caused by the shells from the battleships the army batteries and rifle ■ I in tli.-ir .!<-:tdly fire. There wen* 100 discharges from the ships, 101 of the shells counting. When the morning mist which envel­ oped the Spanish lino lifted Gen. Shafter ordered that each shot be aimed at some particular object and the firing nt Inter­ vals of ten minutes. No Guttling guns were used. The infantry did little firing, and only for the purpose of picking off in­ dividual Spaniards. The marksmanship was excellent, ns evinced by an occasional headlong plunge of a hostile sharpshooter from a tree. The Spanish batteries fired four rounds harmlessly. Simultaneouel* with the land attack, the New York and Brooklyn moved close to the shore at Aguadorr*. The New York wig-wagged to the beach. Signaler* went to the crest of the ridge to observe the effect of the shells. The first shell wns nn eight-inch from tbe New York, fired at n high eleva­ tion. Tbe men on the ridge telephoned &]?nftc^ pjid n^jiour signaled tp the New York. The gunners changed lhe range and fired' n second shot. Again a wait, more signaling and fine calculation by the gunners. Tfej third shell finally sped over the hill. The sljraaT nftn were soon wig-wagging excitedly, the officers reported, and the Jackies on tho New Y’ork cheered; they hnd the right range nt last. Then the firing began in earnest. The range wns 6,500 yards and the direction was north by 27 degrees west. The New York fired nt fire-minute intervals. At Its eighteenth shot the Brooklyn moved in and at the twenty-sixth began tiring. I Her fire, like that of the New York, was slow. The Indiana joined in and swung her turrets to starboard, listing the ship. She then opened, with a broadside from her S-lnch guns, firing much faster than the New. York and Brooklyn. The shore telephone line wns ever active, and the wig-wag men on the hill were busy telling of’ the effectiveness of the fire. At 12:45, the ships haring fired 106 ex­ plosive shells, the shore signaled that Shafter had sent a flag of truce to the enemy and the firing ceased. At 1 o’clock Shafter sent Major Noble Into the Span­ ish lines, demanding surrender. Just as the ships ceased action the Yale arrived with Gen. Miles on lasard. The Yale sail­ ed arotfnd the flagship and was liberally cheered. Gen. Miles landed at Siboncy nnd made an inspection.

There still remain In the western part of the province the garrisons at Holguin and Manzanillo, about 6.000 strong, under Gen.

Torsi's army will be shipped to Spain, where It will be harm­ less to us and an object lesson to Spanish fire-eaters on the peninsula. Meanwhile it is the intention to garrison Santiago with immune regiments, and every effort will be made to get the sick intr. safer and more comfortable quarters. It will be a matter for congratulation that this important result has been achieved with­ out the necessity of a general engagement nnd tbe storming of the city. Our loss of life has been comparatively small, amounting to aliout 250 killed, while we hare about 2,000 wounded and sick in hospital. The Spaniards have suffered much more severely, arthounaud of their sailors having been killed or drowned, several hundred of their soldiers killed, while a great number have died in tbe trenches. It la also a matter for congrat­ ulation that the Government proposes to push tbe expedition forward to Porto Rico with all speed. Gena. Miles and Brooke will be in command.

GENERAL VIcW OF SANTIAGO t-------------------------------------------------------- FROM THE TO EXTEND WEATHER BUREAU. Efficiency of Its Service Will Boon Be Greatly Increased. President McKinley has on his desk tbe draft of an order for making the greatest extension of the weather bureau service ever made in its history. The general deficiency bill carried an appropriation of *75,000 to enable the President, in his discretion, to authorise the establishment of observing and reporting stations at va­ rious points on the Caribbean sea, but the promulgating of the order has been withheld pending the conclusion of nego­ tiations with the Governments interested for the right to locate observers and sta­ tions. These have mostly responded fa­ vorably, and in a few days the order is ex­ pected. The scheme contemplates the location of stations on the island of Trinidad, at St. Kipps, Barranquila. the islands of Curacon, Martinique, Hayti, the Barbadocs and San Domingo. There are already iu operation stations at Bl Thomaa, Kings­ ton, Jamaica and Havana. The latter has not been interrupted a single day since the trouble began. When the pro­ posed belt of stations shall have been lo­ cated and are in operation the entire coast of the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean sea. the Windward and Leeward islands, and the passages adjoining will be covered by daily reports. The benefits resulting there­ from in the publication of storm notices will be to the commerce of all nations traversing those waters. BAD OUTLOOK IN ALASKA.

This is due to the rarity of the air which on some constitutions is too stimulating to the nerves. In some cases patients are com* pelled to remove for a time to the sea level to escape the high nervous strain. As sleep­ lessness is not an uncommon accompaniment to certain nervous conditions (in any clim­ ate) the story of a woman of Pueblo, Col., may point a moral to others, who have had a similar affliction. The woman came to Pueblo thirty years ago, when the town was • frontier settle­ ment, and Indians were by no means un­ usual visitors, bands of Ute’s often passing through on their way from tbe mountains down to the plains to hunt buffaloes. She had been in good health, until a few years ago when at each recurring spring­ time she became debilitated, weak and lan­ guid. Her strength left her, she was listless and lifeless. This, too, in spite of the stimu­ lating effects of the high altitude. The most serious difficulty, however, was sleeplessness, which she could not cure. The long weary watches of the night told on her health and she dreaded the approach of night. This lack of sleep weakened her strength and brought on extreme nervousness, until she was a physical wreck. As she could not well take the long Jour­ ney necessary to a change of climate, she sought for some nerve restorative, that would build up the nervous system, and thus ena* to n>y surprise found that I could deep. “ 1 hare taken four boxes now and ran takw a long nap during the day and deep eoundiy all night. >, “The medicine not only takes away that when one dopa taking the pills. •* I am forty-qitie years old and about tktxtjr my left ear waa badly affected-.

Twelve-inch shells from the Iowa pierced the Almirante Oquendo at the same moment, one forward nnd tbe other uft. The Oquindo seemed to stop her en­ gines for a moment and lost headway, but she immediately resumed ber speed and gradually drew abend of the Iowa and came under th® terrific fire of the Oregon and Texas. “At this moment the alarm of ‘torpedo boats’ was sounded and two torpedo boat destroyers were discovered in the star­ board quarter at a distance of 4,000 yards. • Fire was at once opened on them with the after battery and a 12-inch shell cut the stern of one destroyer squarely off. “As the shell struck a small torpedo boat fired back at the battleship, sending a shell within a few feet of my head. I said to Executive Officer Rodgers, ‘That little chap has got a lot of cheek.’ Rod­ gers shouted back, ‘She shoots very well, all. the saiiie.* “Well up among the advancing cruisers, spitting shots at one and then another, was the little Gloucester, shooting first at a cruiser and then at a torpedo boat and hitting a head wherever she saw it. The marvel was that she was not destroyed by the rain of shells. “In the meantime the Vizcaya wns slowly drawing abeam of tbe Iowa and for tbe /pace of fifteen minutes it was give and take between lhe two ship®. The Vizcaya fired rapidly but wildly, not one shot taking effect on the lown, while the shells from the Iowa were tearing big rents in the sides of the Vizcaya. As the latter passed ahead of the Iowa ahe came under the murderous fire of the Oregon. At thia time tbe Infanta Marla Teresa and the Almirante Oquendo, leading the enemy’s column, were seen to be heading for the beach and in flames. Tbe Texas, Oregon andHowa pounded them unmer­ cifully. They ceased to reply to the fire •nd in a few moments the Spanish cruis­ ers were a mass of flames and on the rocks with tbeir colors down, the Teresa flying a white flag at tbe fore. "The crews of the enemy's ships stripped themselves and began jumping overboard and some of the smaller mag­ azine® !>egan to explode. "Meantime the Brooklyn and the C-rtototal Colon were exchanging compliments The officers of the Vizcaya said they simply could not hold their crew at tha guns on account of the rapid fire poured la upon them. The decks were flooded with water from the fire hose and blood from the dead and wounded oa deck. Fragments of bodies floated in thia along the gun decks. Every instant the crack of exploding shells told of new havoc. TELLS HIS STORY. Lieutenant Hobaor’e Account of the Sinking of the Merrimac. The return of Assistant Naval Con­ structs Richmond P. Hobson, of Merrimac fame, to his ship, the flagship New York, was marked by wild enthusiasm. As Hob­ son sat once more among his messmates be told the story of his experience, bis marvelnuR escai>e and his imprisonment in Morro Castle. “We have been thirty-three days in a Spanish prison,” said Hobson, “and th® more I think about it the more marvelous it seems that we are alive. "Tbe run up the channel was very excit­ ing. The picket boat had given the alarm and in a moment the guns of the Vizcaya, the Almirante Oquendo, and the shore batteries were turned upon us. Submar­ ine mines and torpedoes were also ex­ ploded about us, adding to the excitement. The mines did no damage, although w» could hear rumbling and could feel the ship tremble. “We were running without lights and only the darkness saved us from utter de­ struction. When the ship was in tbe de­ sired position and we found that tbe rud­ der was gone I called the men on deck. While they were launching the catamaran I touched off the cxploeivea. At the same moment two torpedoes fired by the Reina Mercedes struck the Merrimac amidships. I canot say whether our own explosives or tbe Spanish torpedoes did the work, but the Merrimac was lifted out of the water and almost rent asunder. As sbe settled down we scrambled overboard and cut away the catamaran. A great cheer went up from the forts and warships as tbe hull of the collier foundered, the Spanish thinking the Merrimac was an American warship. “We attempted to get out of tbe harbor on the catamaran, hut a strong tide waa running and daylight f-mnd us still strug­ gling iu the water. Then for the first time the Spaniards saw us. and a i>oat from the Reina Mercedes picked us up. It then was shortly after 5 o'clock in tha morning, and we had been in the water more than an hour. We were taken ashore by the Reina Mercedes and later were sent to Morro Castle. In Morro Castle we were confined in cells at tha inner side of the fortress and were there the first day the squadron bombarded Morro. I could only hear the whistling of shells and the noise they made wbrn they struck, but I judged from the con­ versation of the guards that the shells did considerable damage. After this bombard­ ment, Mr. Ramsden, the British consul, protested, and we were removed to tha hospital.” The exchange of Lleat. Hobson was ef­ fected after mueh parleying between Gen. Shafter and Gen. Toral. The Spaniard* nt first were not willing to hand over th* eight Americans for a similar number at Sponisl? prisoners. United states PontotBcc tn Cuba.

Several days ago the German cruiser Irene, following out Diedrichs’ utter disregard of internation­ al blockade Jaws, attempted to sail past the Americans and refused to answer the McCulloch’s signal to stop.

He wore two articles of clothing, a soiled canvas jumper and a pair of dirty canvas trousers. Ho was without hat or shoes, and looked with a curious, shifty glance at the old farm house and apple trees which monopolized the land view. Behind him came the procession of pris­ oners. They were nearly all dressed in duck trousers and jumpers, although some had duck caps and a few blue shirts or ragged flannel coats. Nearly all were barefoot As they formed in irregular groups, on the side of the steep incline they looked like castaways. They were a thin, hungry looking lot. without bag­ gage and generally with dark, unkempt beards. They did not seem dissatisfied with their lot.

Tbe Holland torpedo boat cavorted around New York bay in a mystifying and wonderful manner the other .after­ noon. The test was arranged for Lieut, Geelmuyden of the Swedish-Norwegian navy, n brilliant young officer whom King Oscar detailed to watch the work of American ship*. Chief Engineer Lowe of the United States navy had been in­ structed by the Secretary of the Navy to examine and report the merits of the sub­ marine craft. The Holland ran down the bay at ten-knot speed till she enme nearly opposite the Crescent Athletic Club’s boat house on the Bay Ridge shore. Then the turret cap was closed, the boat ele­ vated her ugly nose a moment, and with an easy, gliding movement dived at an an­ gle of fifteen degrees till the rings on her ten-foot jackstaff were dipping in the waves, and then slowly she circled, en­ tirely submerged, about the tug which had accompanied her. The first descent lasted fifteen minutes. She came to the surface just In time to escape being run down by a big lumber schooner. The Hol­ land discharged a dummy projectile from ber forward gun. "It is a wonderful in­ vention,” said Lieut. Geelmuyden, after the trip. "Wonderful, indeed! The prob­ lem of submarine warfare appears to be solved. The boat handles marvelously well, afloat, awash or submerged. The range of ber bow gun is much greater than I had expected. This boat may rev­ olutionize naval warfare." "I had a most enjoyable trip,” said Engineer Lowe, "and I’m the only naval officer in our ser­ vice who has ever had the experience of a submarine cruise.

Advices from Guatemala say that Pros­ per Morales, one of the leaders iu the re­ cent revolt against Barrios, who lately left San Francisco for Central America, has issued a proclamation directed against President Cabrera. This is evidently pub­ lished to feel public opinion and to stir Up sentiment against Cabrera. Morales is planning a grand coup, bls intentions being to carry the forthcoming elections and assume the reins of government. He bas not announced himself as a candidate for the presidency, but he makes no se­ cret of his desire to defeat Cabrera, who would like to succeed himself. Blood seems likely tu flow in Guatemala, as Mo­ rales is gathering an,army and collecting arms and ammunition. He is now at Mar­ grues del Sucbtate, not having dared to enter Queoalteuongo. Some time ago Cabrera, who succeeded Barrios, issued a decree of amnesty to all political refu­ gees. but Morales fears for his life should be take advantage of the decree, and he declares Cabrera Is a worse tyrant than Barrio*. Morales also declares his fol­ lowers should not be disheartened over the failure of the recent revolt, as he is prepared to carry out the original pro­ gram. His supporters are stirring up se­ dition in various cities. Many Govern­ ment officials are discontented because of a failure to pay salaries for months. BIG MALTING ELA NT HISTORY IF» WEEK.

With incredible swlfttw*M they covered tbe earth and the dim bushes and trera, which looked little better than shadow* against the gray of the night. . Esther listened to tbe bell* with more of pain than peace In her heart. Tbe year that was dying with each sound of those old belli had stolen more from her life than sbe cared to reckon up that night. What would tbe new year bring to ber? More pain? Scarcely. Her heart felt too dead, as It was, for that to be proba­ ble. Wbat could it bring, then? Nothing better than quiet and forgetfulness! Tears rolled in her ryes a* sbe told herself this. Lord Harvey, watching ber, saw this shade on her face. His own wa* grave and set. and. If Esther bad looked at him then, she would perhaps have read his' She swept across tbe room and rat down at the piano. But it was too bot for her to play. Thou she went to the window and set it wide opro, leaning ber body out, as sbe half knelt, half ant, on the window ledge. Hugh came aud stood beside ber, put­ ting hi* hand on ber shoulder, and actu­ ally drawing her in, before sbe knew wbat he wa* about “You need not risk a tumble, Miss Le­ vesque, in order to show me how unwel­ come my company is to you. One glance at your face this afternoon told me all that waa necessary on that point I as­ sure you." In'an instant she was ashamed of her­ self. Without another word she realized how rude and awkwnrd—tbe awkward­ ness troubled her most—she bad been. “I beg your pardon," sbe said, in ber quick, eager way, and looking up at him; “but I did not mean to be rude to you. I am very sorry.” . He still bad bl* hand on ber shoulder, but sbe did not seem to notice that. “For what are you sorry?" “For seeming to”—blushing and stam­ mering—“to treat you with Incivility.” “You need Dot be sorry for that. I want no civility from you." She turned pale, and her eyes fell. He had nut forgiven ber; be still looked upon ber with contempt, or worse than that, perhaps, because of her past faults. “Ob. if I could only tell him all," she thought, and rhe tears were in her eyes, “be would surely not be quite so hard on me as this.” His hand had fallen from ber shoulder, and he had taken two or three step* away from her side; then he came back. “You can be sorry, it seems, for a mere breach of good manners, but you never think of being sorry for me." “For you!”—lifting her eyes to his face —luminous, wistful eyes, that smote him through. Could it be that she did not understand? Something in her face made him think so. “Child," be cried, passionately, ns be looked down at her, “are you blind? Don’t you know I love you?" Then be repented having said It. Her face grew as white as tbe lace ruffle at ber throat, and ber lip* parted. “Me! You lore me? Ob. you do not! You are mocking me;" and she drew back from him in ber sudden terror. He knew that she waa crying, though be could not see ber face where sbe stood, for inside tbe room the shadows were gathering rapidly. “There, there! Don’t cry"—gnawing fiercely at hi* thick mustache. “I have no wish to hurt you. I dare say I’m a brute, but even brute* hare tbeir feelings, you know"—sarcastically. "I’ll keep them in better order in future, however." There wa* no answer; but she had dropped ber bands, and wns looking at him. ' “You must forgive me for obtruding this poor love of mine upon you.” He took a turn up and down the long room, stumbling over chairs and table** more than odcc in hi* passage. At last he came to a halt by her. Sbe had not stir­ red at all. “Good-by, Miss Levesque. You have had so many-'Iover* that you can afford to forget ns* among the crowd." It wa* a mean, little stab, which she might well hitye resented. But sbe did not resent it. She just lifted ber head and looked at him. “Why do you say good-by?” "Because I am going away.” With terrified haste Dulcie put out her hand. This man must not leave ber like this. Sbe felt as if she should die if be did. Her lonely, loving little heart yearn­ ed toward him »o! “Don’t go!” she panted, tbe sweet voice broken. “Oh, Hugh, I could Dot live with­ out you! I—I love you. I’m afraid!” CHAPTER XXL—(Continued.) That old-world room suited her with it* In el low tones and it* gleam* of bright col­ or. What mark had ber ;>ain left behind It? At first sight none. But when she turned her head to smile at Dulcie n kind of shadow could be K*n in her eyes: not a dimness. but a shadow. It 'waa tbe trace of tears they had abed. Queen Es­ ther they used to call her. Queen Esther now In truth, for had she not come into ber woman's heritage of sorrow—been triple-crowned by love, pain and Ipsa, the World’* great masters? “If yrju go off in that temper,” *be said to Dulcie, “we shall never know where to find you. You might even venture a* far a* Squire Dene's again.” "No fenr of that’’—shrugging her shoul­ ders disdainfully. “Squire Dene i* a boor; every one about here I* a boor, I think, except”—penitently—“your father, you know. I don’t include him.” Esther looked up at that. "Are you tired of us, then?" “No. but I am of myself," remorsefully. “Weil, go off, then, and see if the sun cannot burn your ’tantrums’ out of you.” “I don’t think that it will." Dulcie went down the step* and across tbe long paved yard, a listless little figure enough in all that brightness. Two of the boys were playing in one corner, and they ran shouting after her, but Dulcie would none of them. She opened the big gate and stepped out on to the Imre, unshel­ tered high road. It was:awfully hot; she felt her cheeks growing red; ber eyes blinked, a* the glare beat down upon her. Straight before her was the high green hedge of the orchard. It would be cool in there, the knew, and. without waiting to go round by the gate, she scrambled up the bank and flung herself down ou the other side with the agility of a schoolboy. How delicious it was! Tbe loaded boughs of great pear trees hung over ber; the air was full of the scent of fruit and flowers. Sbe could bear the trickle of the little stream that flowed nt rhe bottom of the orchard. It was the tiniest of streams, but It made a refreshing music that sultry August day as it sang over its bed “in little sharps and trebles." Flinging herself down under one of tbe trees, Dulcie stretched her arm* above her head and gave herself up to dreaming. A* she lay there, her small bead half buried In the lush grass, ber face upturned, the sunshine came through the leaves, and flickered on the gold band round her throat, and on her curly hair. But she never moved. She had no fear for her complexion, and she had a Southern love of heat. "I do wish he was not coming,” she said to herself, half aloud. "I would rather meet any one in the world than him." Her heart was sore that day, and sbe felt restless. Hugh Fleming was coming, for the first titae since her stay there, to the Holm Farm, and she half dreaded his ▼bit. Sbe had never seen him since that evening in Baden. "I tell you what it i*. Dulcie," she said to herself, with a laugh, crushing the wild thyme in her reatle** fingers, “you had better get back to town. This quiet life doesn’t suit you. It might end in an at­ tack of softening of the brain; for yor have do heart, you know, not an atom, to be affected." ‘ Tbe sunlight grew hotter and hotter, and the bright eyes closed. Somewhere among the tree* a thrush wns singing, a* if it were straining its little threat for joy. Sbe could bear the shrill whoops of the young Durrants, as they tumbled over each other in the farm yard. "Dulcie!—Dulcie!—Dulcie!” Sbe sprang to Jier feet and put ber fin­ ger* to ber ear*. "I am here! What do you want? You have made me deaf, I'dedare." “Not quite, I bope.” This was not one of the “little savages." Flushed up to the curls of ber hair, Dulcie turned, and found herself within a yard of Hugh Fleming. Lewis Durrant clung to one hand; yellow-haired Johnny to the other. It seemed a miracle how he kept his balance with these two clinging and twisting about his leg*. “They told me that they knew exactly ■where to find you,” Hugh aaid. looking at ber. Sbe was miserably conscious of bis look. Sbe knew, as well as if she had seen her­ self in the glass, that her cheek* were red, and ber hair rough, and her dress grassatained and tumbled. And it wa* al] the fault of those horrible boy*. She felt as if sbe bated them nt that moment worse than ever. "I hope I have not disturbed you," very gravely. “Oh, no, not a; all! I was just thinking of going in, only I felt too laxy.” She caught up her bat and made her way toward the house, not going over the' hedge this time, however. He walked be­ side ber, and the boys, rough a* young retrievers, tumbled about them both, and made tbe place ring with their squabbles and laughter. They had not much to any to each other. Dulcie’s tongue seemed tied, and Hugh Fleming was strangely quiet. Esther was waiting at the door for them. “Tea is ready, Dulcie! You will barely have time to change your dre»s." “Oh. don’t wait for me," was Dulcie’* nngraeiou* rejoinder. “Tbe sun has made my bead ache. I don’t think I shall come down st all.” CHAPTER XXII. . On New Year** eve there was a dinner party at Abbeylaods. Tbe grand recep­ tion rooms were thronged; tbe whole place biased with light and echoed with music. All the great folk for miles around were there, and some who could not be called great folk at all. Among these lat* ter were Mr*. Hardinge and Esther. There were a few handsome women there, very many pretty and charming ones; but not one so beautiful a* Esther Durrant that nigh*. Julian Carre, tbe center of a group of officers from Maidstone, stood in one of the doorways, watching her, among the rest. Sbe wa* dancing with Lord Harvey at tbe time, aud as sbe passed sbe saw hlm and bowed with a smile. "Who is sbe, Carre?” young Lord Pe­ ters asked him. Julian Carre frowned and then smiled. ’To-night sbe is Mias Dnrrant. and a nobody. Heaven only knows what sbe may be before this time next year." "Ah, smitten there! Eh?" “Smitten! No”—with a. sudden dark flush. T bate and abbor beautiful wom­ en. If ever I am such a fool as to marry, I shall pick, tbe plainest girl In town." There was e faint laugh at that; but Julian Carre’s odd taste tn a wife wa* not so interesting to them as was this new beauty. To them, at least, she was new, and in quite a fresh style, too. Talk went on. half chaff, half earnest, and Esther, quite unconscious of it all, danced more and listened to more pretty speeches than abe ever had done In her the sitting rw<n. Esther followed him. life before. The dancing waa at it* height The tea wits half over before Dulcie when Lord Harvey made his yay to ber. “The Bel’s are beginning to ring out tbe qwlMly. aad Into • ~n»r hr Mr. oki year.

Perhaps I had better condense it all into one little sentence—I love you so dearly that I want you to be my wife," Sbe tried to answer him, but the word* would not come; and her heart-throb* seemed louder in her ears than tbe bell* themselves, ringing out in the frosty night. “Don’t answer me now”—laying his strong baud over ber little, cold fingers. “I know all you would say. You do Dot love me at present, I am quite aware; but in time you might, perhaps"—wistfully. “You would try, I think. If I could only make you see what your love would be to me. wbat It would do for toe." "No, no!" Esther said, quickly, drawing back from him, and trembling nervously. "I like you very, very much, but I shall never love any one again. I dare not." He smiled grimly. “So I thought myself—once! Yet, see, to-night I love you!” “You think so, Lord Harvey!" “No, lam sure of it." Sbe had nothing to cay to that. She wished, with all her heart, that »ho could go hway, or that some one would come in, and interrupt him in hi* odd, almost cold wooing. “Listen to me, Esther7’—coming near­ er, and laying his hand on ber wrist with a dose, masterful pressure. “If I would let you, you would rear a ghost, a shadow out of tbe past, between your heart and this living love of mine. But I will not let you do it. For your own sake, quite apart from mine, I will not. You are strong in your sorrow now, and you think you could live your life without love; but you could no more du it than”—smiling, and drawing her closer to him—“I could live my life without you. 1 am not afraid, even of this fancy. I know you better than you know yourself, and in that very knowledge lies my claim to you. While you were another mnn’s, and not free to choose, I crushed down my love and waa quiet. You are free now. you are to be won. and I will win you." Sbe heard him almost with dismay, yet there was an undercurrent of thankful­ ness setting in toward him in ber heart all tbe time. He loved ber! She frit cer­ tain of it somehow, in spite of ber new­ born cynicism, nnd tbe certainty comfort­ ed ber; it soothed ber pride, which Percy Stanhope’* desertion had wounded cruel­ ly. Though he wns nothing to ber, and never would be, of course, yet It pleased her to know that this man loved her, ber only, and not Dulcie, “nor another!" -------1 CHAPTER XXIII. “Happy is the bride that the Mun shines on,” says the proverb. If it be so, then Dulcie should have been happy. The night before the wedding day the sky had been cloudy and threatening, with a fitful wind blowing. But the wedding morning dawned clear nnd bright. As Esther Dur­ rant helped Dulcie with her dressing, the sun streamed Into the room with almost tbe warmth of summer. “I am so thankful it is fine, Etty"—step­ ping nslde to view the effect of ber square train. “Do you know, if it had been a wet day, I should bare felt it was an omen T' "I don’t believe in omens, Dulrie." . Yet even as Esther spoke she remember­ ed that this self-same Dulcie bad foretold Ill-luck for her the day sbe would try on ber wedding dress. Ah. tbe “ill-luck" hnd touched ber with its blight long Before the dress was tried on! And who knew that so well as Dulcie horaolf? A thrill of bit­ terness pierced Esther’* heart as she thought of It, but sbe said nothing. “I do believe in them, though’’—loftily; "and I take this bright sunshine as a good omen for me." What an exquisite little bride sbe made. Her dress of shining silk, .be pearl* at ber throat, tbe Ince* that floated like “fairy-webs” about ber, were only so many settings to tbe sweet, glad, shy face. As sbe swept up the aisle. Hugh Fleming, waiting for ber at tbe altar rail*, felt hi* heart swell with love and pride. That this woman had chosen him filled him with deep joy and wonder. ’•Oh, Etty7’ Dulcie cried, in a sudden burst of nervous excitement, as site clung about ber friend's neck nt parting, “say you bope I shall be hoppy.” Esther stooped dowu to tbe little thing, and kissed her, tears in her eyes, though she was smiling. “I do hope you may be happy, dear, as happy os life can make yon." “Ah,” Dulcie sighed, pressing her little gloved hands together, “I know you mean it all. but—but j>erhnp». If you knew ev­ erything, you would not care whether I were happy or doL” They were standing In tbe empty din­ ing room, Esther in her bridesmaid’s dress of white, Dulcie superb in a pearl-gray costume of velvet and feather*—two beau­ tiful women—women who loved each oth­ er. yet at that moment it seemed as If a shade were coming between them. Dul­ cie saw Esther's face grow stem and haughty a* she watched ber. Then Estber put out her bands and looked her friend in tbe fare frankly, “I do know all, Dulcie. It hurt me cru­ elly, hut I forgave you. How do I know tbut in your place I should not have been weaker than you were!” “You are an angel," Dulcie cried. “You always were one. He knew it. too"— more softly. “He loved you best in his heart. I know.” Esther heard ber and sighed; and if at that moment she remembered one man who loved her, uud her only, who shall wonder at it?

Dud & Co.’s weekly review of trade says: "Big business In January is exiiected. but big business in July means snore. It is the mouth of all others when trade 1* naturally light, new engagements are ordinarily deferred and men wait for the outcome aud movement of crops. But more business is U-ing done this year than iu any previous July of which there are records. The payments through clearing bouses have been 5.8 |>cr cent largor than in 1892, the year of greatest prosperity heretofore, and for tbe month thus far 6.5 per cent larger than Inst year and 8.4 per cent larger than in 1892. But these recorils and others have to be judged in the light of heavy decline In prices since 1892, no that the volume of business transacted i« ai»out 20 per cent larger than the volume of payments indicate. Considering that the purchases of nearly half the people depend on the success of agriculture and that the prosperity of tbe entire transporting interest is materially affected by the size of crops to be moved, it may be raid with reason that the prom­ ise of general prosperity this year is un­ usually bright. Wheat receipts for the month thus far have been 7,309333 bush­ els, against 10,652.074 last year, but prices have declined 11% cents, and farm­ ers are holding buck their wheat in the hope of higher prices. The exports for the week have been 1,307,815 bushels from Atlantic ports, flour included, against 1,718.739 last year, and from Pa­ cific ports 126,117 bushels, against 429,­ 291 last year, making for the month, 8333,192 bushels, against 7,342,467 last year. Corn has a little advance in prices, owipg to reports of injury to the crop, and also because exports for the month thus far have been singularly well maintained, amounting to 6,767,963 bushels, against 8,009,616 lust year. Wheat, on the con­ trary. has dropped ul>out 9% cents, with prospects of further decline. Failures for the week have been 225 in the United States^against 236 last year, and 26 in Canada, against 28 Inst year." KILLED FOR DESERTING.

In connection with the annexation of Hawaii there have been Deraistent ru­ mors to the effect that the sugar trust had concluded important arrangements with the Hawaiian Commercial and Su­ gar Company, which owns a monopoly in making raw sugar on the Island of Maui, one of the most important of the group. The president of the company is Rudolph Spreckeb, and Charles 8. Wheeler b vice­ president. These two are also on the board of five directors, the other members being C. A. Spreckels, manager; M. 8. Wilson, a well-known San Francisco law­ yer, and M. H. Hacht. The company’s New York office b in the Commercial Ca­ ble Company’s new building in Broad street. P. J. Hoffacker b the local rep­ resentative. On a recent afternoon Mr. Hoffacker said that C. A. Spreckels hnd left New York more than a week before for San Francisco. Mr. Spreckels had said nothing to him before leaving the city regarding any deal with the sugar trust, nor had he received any word on the *ul>ject since hb departure. There was posi­ tively nothing of a definite character which he might say regarding it. Mr. Hoffacker gave much information regard­ ing the Hawaibn Company. The Ha­ waiian company owns about 40.000 acre* bn tbe bland, together with an enormous plant erected at a cost of over $1,OOO.(XK). There are over seventy miles of railroad track on the island constructed by tbe company, on which are operated four lo­ comotives and 540 cant, fitted up for drawing sugar cane. In connection with the sugar trust rumor it b interesting to note that there has l>ecu a cleaning up of the Hawaiian company’s stock in the local niarket. ________ Ftorm Cut* Down Dakota Crop Half a Million Bushel*. Thirty thousand acres of crops were de­ stroyed or greatly damaged by a hail­ storm in Codington County. 8. D. The scope of the storm was six miles wide aud about twenty-five long.

KLONDIKERS IN DIRE STRAITS. Thouannda Kept on Boats at St. Mi­ chael's, Unable to Land. The steamer Humboldt, which arrived in Seattle from St. Michael's, brings tbe news that ninny river boats and thou­ sands of Klondike™ are In dire straits at St. Michaels, on account of lack of dock­ ing facilities. Many river boats and oth­ er vessels towed to Alaskan ports have been unable to laud their passengers, some of them having been in port many we£ka. The result is that provisions are very low on the boats. Thousands who have landed have been unable to get up the river, owing to the lowness of the water in the Yukon, aud provisions in the town are getting short. Many of the ves­ sels and passengers would return south at once if they had food sufficient to nudes the voyage to Seattle or San Francisco. CANNOT EXPEND THE MONEY. pending $10,000 on G. A.

Why, hanging, drawing and quartering's too good for her! And as for him. he’s only fit to be kicked Into the pig-trough by the herd, and if you don't feel the same, I pity ye— I pity ye—that’s all!" "I feel as you would wish me to feel." said the rector, intercepting the squire ns he turned to leave him. “Come, ok! friend, what can I do? Shall I break the news to dear Lillian?’ The squire gradually allowed himself to be pacified. He bad come to ask tbe rec­ tor to break the news of her busband’s death to Mrs. Drew; hue he bad many stipulations to make. ’ “Understand—no more of your Bible or your gospel now—here!” be insisted. “You'll have me bound and nt your merer on Sunday morning, and then you mny pepper me with it as long us you like, and I can’t say you nny." Then he laid down his law. which wns that Mrs. Drew was to be told the ban­ fact of her busband’s death, and that his circumstances and position at the time of his death wore to l»e suppressed. She was never to be told x»f the woman and her children, who were designated by the squire in words that he would scarce"/ have used had ladies .been present. The rector listened and shook bis bead. “You yourself made me Lillian's guard­ ian Iu tbe event of your death," be said resolutely: "and I am trustee of her riiarriage settlement. At least ns her pastor. If not as her guardian aud trustee, I may be treated with confidence. No good ever came of the willful suppression of truth; of that I am so certain that nothing would induce me to keep one circumstance from Lillian. She is no child; In a few weeks she will be thirty-four; I shall tell her all." The squire argued, fumed; but tbe rec­ tor wns obstinate. “Then you must take the consequences!” said the squire, at last flinging himself out of the room and out of the house. “I shall not! It is madness, foolery—abject foolery!" “I am ready to take the consequences!" said tbe rector, and the squire pettishly pushed aside Mr. Rawson's helping band, mounted and rode off, without so much as a parting salute. Mr. Rawaon bowed his head. “I am glad!" ahe sighed. “I felt, when they went away, that be would be nappier -she would understand him; 1 never could!" The rector felt slightly cmlarratwd. "He was-he looked so strong." she said, in low, awed tone*. “I could not have believed—he would die—so young. And I—I never said, 'Heaven bless you!’ How hard! He would have liked that. I am sure at the last ho thought of me— of Lilith. .Oh, poor Lilith, your father is dead!” Her head went down again; she sobbed. “Lillian, you arc a downright good wom­ an, and heaven will reward you,” said the rector feelingly. "How ever that poor fellow could leave you so heartlessly is a mystery to me." “It la no mystery- to me, Mr. Rawson," rejoined Mr*. Drew, struggling to regain her composure, ."Do you mind listening? No? Then I will tell you exactly how it was. When I met Reginald, I was very young^-ouly just out. ‘He dazzled me; his courtship seemed too wonderful to be true. It was all n fairy tale, and my one feeling was that I must wake up and find our engagement a dream. Our honey­ moon was spent in a rapid race through Europe. We wore up at dawn, seeing sunrise*, then rushing through picture galleries and churches til! I was breath­ less aud almost brainless with the hurry and flurry. I found out that, if I did not take an active part In all that he was in­ terested in, he wns disappointed, disgust­ ed. So I concealed my exhaustion as far as I could, Intending to recruit strength when wo got home. Fallacy. Home was worst*. He was bored, and looked to-me to amuse him. My health gave way. The doctor said I must on do acount keep late hours. But all our friends gave entertain-, meats in our honor, and I literally dared not stay away. He used to try hard to give me pleasure. He would surprise me with boxes for the opera or the theaters, which I had to thank him for as if I liked them. Liked them? Sometimes I would faint when I was dre*sing; I fought faint­ ness in the hot atmospheres. Once I did faint away quietly In my chair, and re­ covered to find him thoroughly out of tem­ per. saying, ’Everything I do to try to please you is a failure.’ Do you not see that he wns right from his point of view"? said Mrs. Drew, pausing as hIu? saw a frown on the rector’s brow. (To be continued.) Give a boy address and accompllflhments, and you give him the mastery of palaces and fortunes wherever he goes: He has pot the trouble of earn­ ing or owning them; they solicit him to enter and possess.—Emerwon. “With bat in hand, one gets on in the work!.”—German Proverb. “There is do policy like politeness,” says Magoon; "since a good manner often succeeds where the best tongue baa failed." The art of pleasing Is the art of rising In the world. A fine Illustration of tbe business value of good manners Is found In tho Bon Marche, an enormous establish­ ment In Paris where thousands of clerks are employed, and where almost everything is kept for sale. The two distinguishing characteristics of the house are one low price to all, and ex­ treme courtesy. Mere politeness Is not enough; tho employes must try in every possible way to please and to make customers feel at home. Something more must be done than b done In oth­ er stores, so that every visitor will re­ member the Bon Marche with pleasure. By this course, the business has been developed until it is said to be the larg­ est of the kind in the world. No other advertising is so efflcacloup. A. T. Stewart Imitated this store In bls. Good manners often prove a fortune to a young man. Mr. Butler, a mer­ chant In Providence, R. L, had once closed hb store, and was on hl* way home when he met a little girl who wanted a spool of thread. He went back, opened the store and got the thread. Thb little Incident was talked of all about the city, and brought him hundreds of customers. He became very wealthy, largely because of hfa» courtesy .—Success. ______ Theories Concerning the Voice. One very interesting theory held by some vocalists Is that the natural reg­ ister of the speaking voice indicates the Individual character of the speak­ er. as do the lines on the palms of the hand. For Instance, a high soprano voice expresses joy and merriment Complex natures, who carry on two qualities of thought at once, speak in harmonies, with several notes at a Mme, and have magnetic voices. The minor voice betrays lack of confidence, the major rolce Indicates Intense vitality. The mental attitude shows Itself In a voice with a sliding downward scale, as In moet teachers' voices.

The Glouces­ ter, Commander Wainwright, find enter­ ed tbe harbor, met with slight resistance; <red a few shots.

Washington special: Poor old Spain is on her knees at last, begging for peace. She has bnd enough .of war aud cries quits. She ha* laid aside her Castilian pride nnd approached the White-House as a suppliant. She has lost her haughtiness and assumed a proper spirit of humility. She ba* not had the presumption to suggest terms. She ha* humbly asked whether the President will deign to discuss terms of peace and end a war disastrous to Spain and full of glory for tbe United Slates. The Madrid au­ thorities have finally realized that it is useless to keep the Spanish people longer iu ignorance of the actual results of the war. The fulmlnntions of bombastic Blanco have come to be regarded nt their true worth in the capita) of tbe peninsula. They have erased to delude erep a small portion of the Spanish people. Premier Kagasta, appreciating the utter hopelessness of the situation from his standpoint, come* now bolding out In one hand the olive branch, while with tbe other he present* a petition for clemency to President McKinley.

The Texas has Loen, ordered to New York from Santiago. Like nearly all the other ship*, she is suffering from splintered deck* and bulg­ ed bnlkhends caused by the concussion of the big guns.

I. - Sensational .Petition Signed by All the Leading ■Officers at Santiago. Washington apecial: Gen. Shafter's army will be brought home to the United State*, as rapidly as feasible. Information that the division -commanders at Santiago, led by Col. Tbe■cdore Roosevelt, bad addressed a letter to ■Gen. Shafter urging the immediate with­ drawal of the Fifth corps from Cuba, was contained in a dispatch which was carried *o the White House after 1 o'clock Thurs­ day morning, and a council of war was held at once when the full purport of the letter became known. In the statement presented to Shafter t>y Roosevelt, and which is indorsed by all the general officers at Santiago, it is the declared belief that half the army will die if kept in Cuba, and that the men .must be sent north to save their lives. For some days back Gen. Shafter's re­ ports of the sickness in his army have been alarming. Nearly one-fifth of his men are in the hospitals. Most of them •re disabled by malarial fever. Fortu­ nately there are not many cases of yellow fever as yet, but Col. Roosevelt alleges that these figures, distressing as they are, do not give an adequate idea of the con­ dition of the army. He states that not 10 per cent are fit for active work, and that the men an> so weakened by mala­ rial fevers that if a genuine yellow fever epidemic were to break out it would •weep through them like fire through stub­ ble. The opinion has been .generally held that if the army were moved to higher •nd healthier camps in the interior its •anitary condition would improve nt once. •Col. Roosevelt is of n contrary opinion. He asserts that "every shifting of camp doubles the sick rate in our present weak-ened condition." That is. the men are so run down that the labor involved in mov­ ing camp is too much for many of them. He states also that “the interior is rath-er worse than the coast,” and that “our ■present camps are as healthy as any -camps at this end of the island can be." 'The sick lists show that those camps are ;most unhealthy. Col. Roosevelt declares that if the San"tiago troops, with the exception of the immune*. ure sent north, in six weeks the malaria will be out of their systems and —New lurk Herald. TO INCRBASB DEWEY’S FLEET. FOR BIO EUROPEAN EQUADRON. THIS IS A BURNING SHAME! Oregon, Massachusetts and Newark Are Likely to Be Bent. On account of their protracted stay in equatorial waters, some of the ships of Admiral Dewey’s command need over­ hauling. and before long they must be cleaned and otherwise put in order. The Navy Department is considering the question of withdrawing some of Dewey’s vessels to Mare Island and Port Orchard for dry docking and assigning other ves­ sels to take their places. The probabill- Uncle Fam Will Soon Be Well Repre­ sented io Foreign Waters. The naval officials are considering the formation of a big squadron to be sta­ tioned in European waters after the war is over.. The intention is to reform the European squadron, but to make it ranch stronger than ever before. Just before the war began all the American warships were withdrawn from foreign stations except the Asiatic for service in the West Indies, and since then the officlab have not had time to bother about arranging for a resumption of naval representation in alien waters. In late years the Euro­ pean station has dwindled in importance to the United States, until only three ships, none armored, were kept there. With the end of the war believed to be near, however, the navy officials have be­ gun to talk over the character of the new European squadron and have practically reached the coDchimon that a strong and formidable force should be sent there, not because of any likelihood of trouble with European nations, but to show the peopleover there the ships that whipped Spain’s navy. Horrible Treatment of Bick Soldier* on Their Voyage to New York. New York special: There are many bright pictures hi the present war, and some, unfortunately, that can create no other feeling than that of stern condemnation. Of the latter class b the incident of the transport Concho, which reached New York with 172 in­ valids from Siboney, Cuba. The misery which these unfortunate men endured during the voyage is almost incredible. Before tlx? vessel sailed from Siboney 177 sick and wounded had been shipped ntKia rd and It never occurred to any one to find out what accommodations there were for that number. Hardly had the vessel got to sea before the men began to suffer with seasickness and fevers of va­ rious kinds. Dysentery, diarrhoea and other diseases also broke out and the vessel was a pest ship from the first day. Within twenty-four hours all the ice bad iK-en used up. There was no fresh water, the water in the storage tanks being near­ ly putrid, and there was not sufficient dis­ tilling apparatus. There woa not even food for the sick to eat, the vessel having been supplied with army rations, some­ thing which even well men do not greatly relish. There wns also a lack of sur­ geons and Durwn to care for the sick and almost no medicine to administer. From the first the men suffered horri­ bly. They lay in bunks lietween the decks, in a heavy atmosphere that was almost intolerable. Some bad do blan­ kets and none bad mattresses. Their com­ partments after the first day’s sickneos were reeking with filth and the odor was enough to sicken a healthy man. Mem­ bers of the Red Cross SoeJwty endeavor­ ed to clean the bunks, but the former were so few and the latter so many that on the second round the condition was as bad is on the first, and while the nurses were thus engaged there was no one to minister to the sick and suffering. There was not even a disinfectant on board ex­ cept a few ounces of creolin and m thb frtul atmosphere the men who had risked FALLING BICK BY HUNDREDS. MAJOB GEXBBAI. JAMK8 F.

When the Spanish Gov­ ernment has complied with the terms of the United States concerning the evacua­ tion of Culm and Porto Rico, there will be no necessity pf keeping so large a fleet in West Indian waters. The sending of re-enforcements to Dewey will begin as soon ns vessels have been cleaned and overhauled nt New York. Norfolk and Port Royal. The cruiser Newark and the battleships Slassachuaetts and On-gon are likely to be the selections for service on the Asiatic station, fanning, with the ves­ sels now at Manila, a powerful fleet of four armorclads and seven other fighting •hips, not including supply and dispatch boats and the Spanish gunboats picked up by Dewey in the Philippines.

It bad been intended for some time that the Santiago troops should be withdrawn as soon as the yellow fever should be •tamped out. the War Department believ­ ing that the disease could be overcome -without too great cost of life. Steps had 'been taken for the immediate movement ■of a part of the troops, an order having been prepared directing that all of the •cavalry forces at Santiago, and all of those at Tampa, except the Fifth regu­ lars and the First Ohio volunteers, be moved to Montauk Point without delay. The council of leading officers of the .<War and Navy Departments held at the 'White House was called to consider the ■withdrawal of nil the military forces in .'Santiago as promptly as possible, in the I light of the revelations made by Col. ’Roosevelt and the other officers. It was •decided after some discussion that the ^Santiago troops should be transported to Montauk Point with ns little delay as pos­ sible. In accordance with Secretary Alger’s order Gen. Shafter’s corps, numbering 21,000 men, exclusive of the 4,000 suffer­ ing from fever, who will have to remain in Cuba until they are convalescent, will Jbe moved to Montauk Point as soon as -transportation ran be secured. and until the eradiation by the S(anish will permit of a reduction in the garrison of Hantiags. '.The camps at Montauk Point are in readrln/M for occupation. When Shafter’s army has evacuated 'the province Santiago will be turned over to the First and Second United States volunteer infantry regiments (immunes), ■commanded by Cota. Roche and Hood. The Third and Fifth immnne regiments, Col. P. H. Ray ami Col. Herbert Sar­ geant. hare also been ordered to Santiago, •nd will soon depart. Two other immune regiments yet to be selected will be or<Iered to embark in a few days. Four ■pore immune regiments arc- in process of organization, and will be sent to Santiago if those now under orders prove inade­ quate in maintaining a garrison at the provincial capital now under control of .Americans. In Secretary Alger's order the fart ii mentioned that Shafter’s army will re­ main at Montauk Point until fall, and will then be used in the campaign against Havana. This con fuses persons not fa­ miliar wkh army affairs, but military offi­ cials explain that this phase of the order •was compiled in accordance with the orig*m*1 plans of campaign, in which co change will be made until peace is de- in Transporting Prisoner* Cause* Embarrassment. The delay in transporting the Spanish prisoners from Santiago to Spain is em­ barrassing the War Department in many wn>s, as it interferes with the carrying out of plans in regard to our own troops and involves the Government in increas­ ing daily expense. The contract for trans­ porting the Spanish prisoners wns award­ ed to the Compania Trans-Atlantique Es­ panola, but at the end of two weeks not a prisoner had been embarked for the voy­ age to Spain. The contract provided that several of the ships be delivered at San­ tiago withiq five days. Meanwhile, the prisoners hove to be fed at great expense to the Government. They are fulling sick by hundreds. Delay Proposed Expedition to Porto Kko Has Been Postponed. “According tcythe present understand­ ing there will be a suspension for the present of the proposed expedition to Porto Rico under the command of Maj. Gen. Wade.” This statement was made by an official at the War Department. Gen. Corbin denied that any such order had been issued in writing, but it was said by others that a verbal order thus under­ stood had been repeated to officials in charge of some of the departments. One reason given wns that the removal of the sick from Santiago was the first object now. Another reason stated was that the peace negotiations might render unneces­ sary a second Porto Rican expedition. WATER POISONERS EXECUTED. Treacherous Spanish Sympathizers Caught in Gomez's Camp. News has been received in Washington that four Spaniards have been executed in tiie camp of Gen. Maximo Gomez, after a court-martial, for [wisoning the water in several cisterns in the village uf La Reforms, and that several others sup­ posed to be in the conspiracy have been turned over to the Cuban civil authorities in that part of the island, to be given a civil trial. Several families were made seriously ill from drinking the water, and a number of deaths are reported. The men executed were “presentados,” who had deserted from the Spanish camp vud entered the Cuban lines, ostensibly to join their army. ROOSEVELT IB REBUKED.

Many 'Applications on Account of Present War ReIng Filed. Applications for pensions ns a result of the Spanish-American war are already coming into the office of Commissioner Evans in Washington. Lida M. Hook, widow of William EL Hook, Company F. Second Wisconsin infantry, asks for $12 per month. She is the first applk-ant. Seventy-one others have also filed their applications. Mrs. Hook was bereaved early in the conflict. Her husband enlist­ ed May 12, 1898. Two dnys later he was taken sick, and on May 15 died at the mil­ itary hospital of Camp Harvey, near Mil­ waukee. Three days later Mrs. Hook ex­ ecuted her application for a pension. There are probably already 3,000 coses with such a basis for a pension claim. The second name on the list st the pen­ sion bureau is that of Elisa J. Tunnell, who executes a claim for pension ns the widow of Elijah J. Tunnell, killed on board the Winslow in Cardenas harbor. Chief Clerk Bayley said there were 035,­ 000 applications ahead of those who want l>ensionH oii’ account of service in the Spanish war.

Manila, be rash enough to endeavor to thw art the plans of Admiral Dewey, this country need hove no fears of the result. Dewey Is strong enough, with the latest naval re-enforcements, to carry out any policy he moy elect in the teeth of Ger­ man interference, and should the two na­ tions go to war it is satisfactory to think that we are much stronger on the sea than Germany. A London paper thus summed up the situation recently: “Ax for German and American navies, there can, of course, be no comparison. The Germans are tine sailors and brave men. but a naval struggle between the United States and Germany would be short and complete.” There is no danger of any rupture, how­ ever, between the countries. The German Government knows better and Vice-Ad­ miral von Diedericha may be depended on not to commit his country in the matter. NEW WAS 8ONO8 AND MUSIC.

Czar’s .New Scheme. There is great tmcaainess on all aide* in London in view of the Chinese situation. which is regarded as bringing an open conflict between Great Britain and Russia within measurable distance, and it is uni­ versally frit that the Marquis of Salis­ bury's invertebracy In yielding to Rus­ sian aggressiveness is responsible for the dangerous complications, which can only Im* overcome by the prompt slid most firm Intimation that Russia's open opposition to British commercial concessions must cease. In this 'connection the story is current that the Princes/ of Wales’ hur­ ried departure from England was in re­ sponse to a dispatch from her sister, the dowager Empress of Russia, bearing upon the Anghr-Busaian relations. It is well known that the dowager empress is stren­ uously working to conclude a definite un­ derstanding regarding Anglo-Russian in­ terests in the far East, and It is said great importance attaches to the meeting of the aristcra at Copenhagen. Replying to a question in tbe House of Commons, the parliamentary secretary for the foreign office, Mr. Curzon, said her majesty's gov­ ernment had beard that a great power was endeavoring to obtain a port on the Persian gulf. Two-thirds of the trade of the gulf was British. Mr. Curzon added, wherefore the government was especially interested in the matter. The power men­ tioned is beyond doubt Russia. WHEAT PRICE IB HIGHER. Low Visible Supply and Large Export . Demand the Cause. Dun’s weekly trade review says: "Pros­ pects of peace stimulated many kinds at business. In spite of records, tbe impres­ sion prevails that delay and hesitation have legitimately resulted from war. and larger contracts are, in fact, coming for­ ward for Iron products, with a better general demand in most industries. A few labor troubles only call attention to the fact that thia season has been remark­ ably free from such hindrances. In spite of a promise of 700,000,000 bushels of wheat this year the price Is 2%c higher for the week. The disposition of farmers to hold back their wheat for prices more like those obtainable recently accounts for receipts 36 per cent smaller than last year. The visible supply Is extremely low, but exports at the present rate through­ out the year would have little lifting power if the crop ia about 300,000,000 bushels more than home needs for seed and feed. Failures for the week have been 196 in the United States, against 237 last year, and 21 in Canada, against 29 last year." Race for the Pennant.

There was a great dinner party at General Somebody’s. I could hardly believe in my good fortune. 1 exerted myself to l>c bright and lively till he had gone; then I went to tied. How thankful 1 was! It was like a reprieve! But I 84*0 now how wrong I was to give way to passing sen­ sations of weakness. His going out alone led to bis rejoining his bachelor friends, his aid fast setr These reproached him with having an invisible wife, a useless companion, ax single men will rally their married friends, lie assumed the charac­ ter of the careless husband, the man who had made a marriage de couvenance, and had merely been keeping up npj>earances. Well, hia boon companions took him at his word. There were the old racketings —orgies. "Then he began to have a erase for theater going. Aa I began to recover my strength, I asked him to take me to see— to see"—Mrs. Drew shivered—** a new ac­ tress people were raving about That very night he brought me u box-for the theater. I think I never admired any­ thing or anybody s>-> much as I did that wnmar She was delicate and small, but her majesty of movement, her grace, her passion, the deep, grave sweetness of her voice, accounted for all the public enthu­ siasm. One of my husband’s friends, who came into the box and devoted himself to me with a curious sort of apologetic re­ spect, assured me. while Reginald was out of the box, that it was a settled fact that Miss Elvin would shortly become Duchess of Perth. Ten days later my infatuated husband eloped with Miss Elvin, the ac­ tress." “I have come to tell you," said the rec­ tor. “that the man you excuse with such extraordinary generosity—a man who broke his marriage'row as lightly as be would snap a thread—a man who ruined two women for a passing whim—is dead," said the rector. "Heaven is just! You, the injured one. are safe from the bitter future which awaits the wretched woman who tempted your husband." “What?” Mrs. Drew looked nt him with piercing inquiry. "Tell me—all. I cun bear it—indeed I can!" The rector hesitated. He had not in­ tended to place the woman’s letter in the hands of Captain Drew's lawful wife. But he had felt so indignant. while Lib linn was defending her dead husband’s sin—had felt a species of impatient won­ der how it was that good-for-nothing fel­ lows, without a conscience, without a trace of moral stamina, were loved, pet­ ted. forgiven, and after death apotheosiz­ ed by their womenfolk, while honest and good men were so often worried, teased, snubbed, nnd, when gone, considered a good riddance—that his courage suddenly rose, and, before he quite realised the step he had taken, he had silently handed Mrs. Drew her rival’s letter. "That will explain all." he said; then, with a qualm, he walked away from Lil­ lian and stood looking out at the window. It seemed an age that he listened to the rustling of the flimsy letter paper. Mrs. Drew must'be reading the, letter again and again. “This is most important," she said. “It ta terrible! What will they do—starve? Oh. Mr. Rawson, he can never for one moment have expected this—have dream­ ed of his dying! It is so horrible!” she said, lowering her voice and laying her hand upon his sleeve. "You understand? It seems so unnatural that Lilith should have a brother and staters-his children, not mine! A fid those poor things—why, 1 am their stepmother! Yet I nm not—oh, what a confusion."’ “My dear, pray do not let us disgrace ourselves by such a discussion," put in the rector, in dismay. “They have not the faintest shadow of a claim u|M>n you—less than Hagar and Ishmael had upon Sarah----- ” “Stop!” said Mrs. Drew decidedly. “That Bible story could not have been told after the life of the Master. I have lived after Him. I have to follow Him in my poor little way through anguish, ag­ ony and death. But we all deserve to suffer. and He did not. Oh. Mr. Raw­ son. don’t think I should not enjoy hat­ ing those people! That very fact is the reason I must watch my conduct toward them as I would watch a suspected per- “I am not going to allow you to be quix­ otic and wrong-headed-yes. wrong-bead­ ed," said the rector, surprised, and still more in dismay. “You must do nothing without consulting me, and probably your father.” “There is Lilith!” cried Mrs. Drew. “Oh. tty Lilith! How little she knows— dreams----- Now, Mr. Rawson. I have .never yet spoke* to Lilith about her fath­ er, nor do I intend to; but I intend to place the situation before her. and I tell you I shall be guided by her impressions. You are prejudiced. Don’t deny it; you must be; yunr duty as my trustee is to see that I am righted. Rut Lilith—oh, she has such a simple upright soul! Rhe goes straight on through obstacles, if only she feels justified. There is her step in the Lilith opened the door, shut it, and then Stood there in her riding habit Tbe rector gave a side glance at Mrs. Drew, wondering how she would open fire; she did not wait long. “Lilith, dear, the rector has come to tell us that one of our dearest relatives, by marriage, ta dead," she said slowly. •They have no claim whatever upon your mother. Lilith," began the rector eagerly. "And I have been preaching to her that she must really not 1* quixotic, and shower benefits upon unworthy per­ support them?” she asked the rector, in tbe rough, abrupt way which people so particularly disliked m “that ngiy girt, the squire’) grandchild." "That I shall make it my business to find out," «id tbe rector. "Not- will 1 Usve a stone unturned, Lilith, to find responsible persons to prevent your moth­ er from squandering her savings, as I see she has a mind to do.” Then he took bis leave, feeling, as he rode home, that if ever a man had bun­ gled over a delicate piece of business he wag that man. Meanwhile ‘Mrs. Drew hnd delicately placed the situation—at least, 1n part—be­ fore her daughter. Were it her plain duty to help her husband's children, their scheme of going to London must be given up. There would be a sacrifice. Break­ ing the contract with the owner of the London house would bring compensation to him as well as the loss of tbe pre­ mium ptdd. -But there would still be the remainder of Mrs. Drew’s savings, and these would go to help the unfortunate family. Lilith asked no questions; but she entirely approved her mother's gener­ osity. "As for my visit to town, that cun wait," she skid cheerfully. '1 dare say it is all for the best. This next year’s study of nature may help me on more than all the other years put together. 1 have felt lately that I have seen more in nature than I ever saw before—that my eyes are just beginning to open. Other studies can wait." And she gallantly supported her moth­ er's sacrificial plans. The girl clung to duty as to a rock. Rhe wrote a note to the rector, informing him of the determina­ tion her mother and she had come to, but tbe clergyman resolved that Lilith's gen­ erosity should not prevent bcr completing her studies in London. CHAPTER IV. The rector hnd two sisters living 'tn a quaint part of London—Mrs. Law. who had married her busband, now an infirm old gentleman, late in life, nnd Mrs. Mas* donald. a widow with one son. Mrs. Law was the lady of the house, and to Mr. Law the rector wrote to in­ quire whether any lady of her acquaint­ ance would consent to take charge of Lilith Drew for a few months. “You may have seen the death of Cap­ tain Drew in the popers." ho wrote. 'This does not make any pecuniary difference to Mrs. Drew, who has money in her own right, and ta Squire Ware’s sole heiress; but it puts an end to Mrs. Drew’s taking a bouse in town." The rector did not hint that his sisters might like to Invite Lilith; but be thought there was just a possibility that it might occur to them to do so. And, as the days went on and no reply to bis letter arriv­ ed, he augured well from the delay. One morning came a letter from Mrs. Macdonald. She excused "dear Judith's” silence. Mr. Law bad one of bta severe attacks, and Mrs. Law bad enough to do to nurse him. “We have been deeply interested in your young friend.” wrote Mrs. Macdon­ ald—“especially dear Judith, who used to paint flowers so beautifully. Judith thinks Miss Drew very young to handle the brush—she will doubtless have to undergo severe training with the pencil. How­ ever, in any case. Judith says that, if poor, dear Mrs. Drew will trust her daugh­ ter to us, she will do everything in her power to direct and counsel her." It was a beautiful July day when Mr. Ra wson took hta godchild to London. On reaching their destination Lilith was driven through the London streets, Mr. Rawson at bcr side./in old Mr. Law's brougham. Tbe busy crowds bustling this way and that, so many men frowning and solemn, so many talking, a few. a very few, smil­ ing. was the most exciting sight to LDith. Rhe felt as if all these were her brothers, children of their common mother Nature, who urged them on. on in their different paths, all leading—whither? She was going to work, to struggle; but why, and for what end? Her philoso­ phising was over. After the coachman bad carefully driven them through num­ berless narrow streets, they rolled into a quiet square. Tbe horse trotted gallant­ ly up to hta master’s door. A quiet spot. While Mr. Rawson alighted and knocked at the old-fashioned, dark-green door with tbe quaint brass knocker. Lilith peeped out of the brougham window. Lilith wns kissed and embraced by two ladies in caps; then she found heroelf In a square hail, which reminded her of home, with its old oaken furniture, black and white marble flooring, apd the giant clock ticking solemnly in tbe corner. Up the wide, Shallow staircase, past the broad window seat with its dark blue cushions at either end, one of the ladies led Lilith gently, almost apologetically. There was an open book upon the broad seat under the stained glass window. Lilith’s conductor stopped short, pounc­ ed upon nnd with some difficulty pocket­ ed tbe tiny but bulky volume. “Thin ta my boy Willie,” she whispered to Lilith; “it is so lucky I saw it. My stater, Mrs. Law**—looking back—“his aunt, you know, objects to untidiness, also to poetry—at least, wild poetry. Of course I don't mean Longfellow's Taalm of Life,' and some of Sir Walter Scott’s hal- f lads, and Schiller, aud 'In Memorisin'; but she docs not think wild poetry good for young people, you know.” Lilith gave a quirk look around. Mr. Rawson end Mrs. Law were slowly aseetiding tbe staircase, talking earnestly in a low voice. Rhe gave a short, sneering Httie grim­ ace. She often made those ape-like grim­ aces without knowing it. Mrs. Macdon­ ald stared in dismay at the tall, dark girl with the strange, angry eyes and tbe un*kempt mass of frtaxly hair. She was still more in dismay when the unconventional creature said: “Then Mrs. Law and I shall never get on—that ia clear. I might m well get into tbe carriage, drive back to the sta­ tion. and be off borne again." "My—my dear." stammered the startled Mrs. Macdonald, “pray consider—here they are! Of course you are agitated, leaving home and your dear mother, and all that. My dear, it doesn't matter one bit what you say to me, you know, as I always tell Willie—and yon are young like Willie. But you must be careful with dear Judith—Mrs. Law, you/know-she ta wo clever, M) remarkable. I may say that she has always been like u queen among ns since early childhood." “A queer sort of queen!" thought Lb 11th, as she noticed Mrs. Law's wrinkled face, .shifting little eyes and firm mouth. “She reminds me of n prison Rate." Judith—Mrs. Law—happened to catch, sight of Lilith's strange fact*, distorted by a look of distrust and disapproval, and her expression wttled into sternness as she told herself she would never like that girl—she believed she was destined to be a worse trouble to her thau her nephew Willie. •However, Mr. Rawson smoothed mat­ ters by asking Lilith whether she would •not like to see Mr. Law before she went to her room; and Lilith, whose strongest feeling was that holiest one of all, pity, or compassion, gave such a hearty “Yes" that Mrs. Macdonald felt relieved, nnd legnn to hope that their young guest's good nature would be found almost to bal­ ance her eccentricity. Mr. law, an old man with a fair, with­ ered face, long white hair which- rested on bta Indian dressing gown, and n silken beard, was sitting in a high-backed arm­ chair, propped and supported by cushions. He gave Lilith nn intent glance through his spectacles. He saw something about her which reminded him of the tropics. “Our young friend has, perhaps, been to India?” he asked, with a pleasing smile to Rawson. "Don’t laugh. He always asks every one that when he first sees them," said Mrs. Law sharply to Lilith. As sharply replying, “I laugh?’ she went up to the old man and said, her young, clear voice barely raised: . “Not yet; but I hope to go. It must be a magnificent country." The old man's face, which hnd the quaint beauty of a certain type of old uge. grew radiant. "Magnificent T* he repeated, trembling­ ly sinking into his chair. “What n coun­ try—what h country it was! Ah. the Brit­ ish flag has brought law, perhaps; but never again can the splendor be what it was 7' Then he held forth about the native princes, their glory, their retinues, their gorgeous palaces, his visits to them, when at parting they would throw a jeweled chain hung with rubies and emeralds around his neck, as if those priceless gems were berries plucked from the trees. He was waxing more enthusiastic, and was even commencing to tell stories of tho origin of some of the jeweled scabbards on hta table, when his careful wife, who hnd been surveying tho group with her quick, restless little eyes, as a watchful cat might survey a distant group of mice, stopped her husband’s discourse without much ceremony. "Take Lily—not Idly? oh, thank you. Hugh! Lilith to her room, Mary, my dear," she said to her meekly obeying stater. Meanwhile her sharp cars hnd distinct­ ly hoard Lilith-say to her brother, Mr. Rawson: "He reminds me of the little Glassman. I shall paint him us the little Glassman standing on a knoll; hta beard and hair are like spun grass, and will come out so well against the dark trunks of the forest trees!” CHAPTER V. Mrs. Drew wrote to her daughter cheer­ ily, playfully, with an underlying serious­ ness; she followed the rector’s advice. "Begin nt this Strict drawing school," she wrote. ' "If you find you ore doing no good there, you can always make a change nnd study elsewhere." Lilith felt brighter after her mother's loiter. Next morning she began her stu­ dent life nt nn art school. When she shut the ball door nt Prince's Square at starting there wns Willie Mac­ donald waiting for her outside. Willie quietly Informed her that he intended to escort her to and fro daily. "My hours at the Deed Office are ten till four,” he said; "yours are nine till five at the school; I can manage it well. It was quite a relief to Aunt Judith: she was groaning about Priscilla’s wasted hours.” Those walks in the fresh morning were delightful to Lilith; the air in the squares seemed cold and pure, almost countryUko. Willie was buoyant; he hnd a bright brain, and hta talk was. if chiefly "comraon-scnsical,” clever and reasonable; It put Lilith Into n suitable humor for her drudgery. This wns extremely trying to the ambitions, idealistic girl; she who had had her freedom absolutely was mentally a prisoner. This was the routine she went through doily. The old porter who opened the school door checked the minute of her ar­ rival" by the clock in the hall, and wit­ nessed her signature of tho same in a huge book. Then she passed through into tbe elementary students’ clonk room. Be­ reft of cloak ami bonnet, she went up the great stone ata Irensen to tbe attics. It was such a dreary place—those attics ail thrown into one low-ceiled room, where she worked. How could the Beautiful be studied here? While she was wondering. Miss Level!, a teacher, was arranging Lilith's work at tbe portion of tbe long desk as­ signed to her. There was a glazed card with some trace lines hung against the rail above tbe desk, and on the desk wns Lilith's drawing board, with & freak, white sheet of drawing paper pinned upon it. This short had been pinned on by kind Miss Level!’* own fair hands, while Lil­ ith was glancing around nt tbe many quiet, ugly, uncouth figures working away at the desks in silence. Lilith set herself to her straight lines. By luncheon time she had succeeded in drawing a few inches. At the end of the day the inches were rubbed out Lilith went from tbe school fiercely. Willie Macdonald, who determinedly insisted upon her telling her first experience to him during their walk home, had bard work to pacify her. She grow more con­ tented and less wretched when he gave her a humorous account of hta first days at the Deed Office: when he had mode her laugh, be took her homo. The next day Lilith's hand was more obedient; Mtas LevcII encouraged her. The day after, just before the luncheon hour. Miss Lev ell came in. Lilith bad finished her curiously infantine task bold­ ly; there were some fine bold lines upon the ixtper. Lilith's heart brat faster as Mtas LevcII came up; she expected that them- would ta- het first and last "Mnes" she would tie promoted to “curves.” "My dear.” whispered Mtas I^evrll. “that will never do—quite incorrect. 8ee here and here''—pointing to the shiny card and to Lilith's drawing alternately —“you have not ascertained your distance right­ ly; you must take a fresh sheet and begin again.” Lilith was alone and furious. First she paced the -empty room in a rage, and then aa JdM came to her. She took up her drawing—those rejected penciled lines— sad. seeing how good they were, if not exactly like tbe copy, she resolved— "I will give them some straight lines; nnd then good-by—come what may, good1’7!” She sat down, scrawled “The Palace of Straight Lines" at the top of the paper, and then made n bold sketch of the school, the exterior on one side of the paper, and the interior on the other. They were tine sketches with her own firm artist toucL. The one bit of spite wan a portrait—all in linos—of Miss Levell, who wan looking .out of window, pointing rigidly to the inscription nbove. By the 41100 she had finished this and had signed her name in full her bead was hot with passion; she went quietly to the cloak room, dressed and strode out. Lilith had been crying passionately; but she met Willie with perfect self-control. She told him everything, aud ho had still enough of the schoolboy element in his composition to enjoy a mutiny, and Lil­ ith's behavior to-day wns certainly mu­ tinous. . “Your mother must be told,” he said; but ho persuaded Lilith^not to write herhclf. ’T will tell my mother all about it," he said; “our mothers will understand each other. You roc it will be painful to Mrs. Drew to hear that you aud the school are ut loggerheads already.” Mrs. Macdonald wrote. Her answer wns the appearance of Lilith's mother up­ on the scene. She came to the Prince's Square bonne as unobtrusively as any cas­ ual morning visitor. Rhe was introduced to Willie before she had time to bear Lilith's story. Then they sat side by ride on the big sofa in Lilith's bed chamber, tho rough dark bead against the smooth fair one. and Lilith told her woes. Then Mrs. Drew put on her bonnet and drove off to tho drawing school. Miss Lcvell was astonished to find that thia sweet-faced, gentle lady was Lilith's mother. "We think your daughter so extremely wild." said Mis* Level!. "Of course she has imagination and facility of execution; but of what use nre these without rigid training?' “Certainly very little." Mrs. Drew said. Thon the two ladies talked over the matter, and Lilith was forgiven, and re­ instated for ns long as she conformed to rules. (To be continued.) An Earnest Painter. An eminent American artist, who 18 now an old man. has never forgotten the lesson he learned from Sir Frederick Leighton In hta youth. Leighton was then a brilliant and fascinating young paldter, whose future was still before him. He was at work upon an Italian landscape, or upon a picture with an Italian background. In that back­ ground he wns anxious to Introduce an olive tree. He remembered a tree which he had seen In the south of Italy, aud remembered It quite distinctly enough to reproduce It, but be was not content to trust hta memory. Tbe American artist remembers how Leighton came into a cafe In Rome on hta way to southern Italy, making tbe long journey from England for tbe ex­ press purpose of studying that olive tree and of taking home an exact sketch of It, and he remenibers also how. four or five weeks later, tbe ar­ dent young Englishman, brilliant, en­ thusiastic. versatile, but with a capac­ ity for taking pains, reappeared with a wonderful sketch of the olive tree, upon itfrlch he hnd spent days of un­ broken observation nnd work. From this little Incident the American stu­ dent learned a lesson, which be never forgot, and which went far to secure the success which came to him later in life.

The man was gone some minutes, but nt length returned and produced a parcel very mysteriously from under his arm. To the astonishment of the clergyman, when It was opened It contained a bot­ tle of whisky, with water and a-tum­ bler. "You mustn’t let on about It. mister," said tbe clerk, "for I got It as a great favor, an’ I shouldn’t ha’ got It at all, bein' church hours, if I hadn't a-said It was for you."—Tit-Bits. Children's Books. One of the cleverest of tbe woman writers of England. Miss Betham Ed­ wards, has uttered Home wise words concerning modem juvenile literature. She said the other day that she got her own education from an old copy of Shakspeare, and she added: “I disap­ prove of children's books. I had few in my»own chHdbood, and read only the English classics, and found them enter­ taining enough. The present fashion of writing story books specially for children Is, I think, a mistake.

CITY OF BISMARCK IS IN RUINS. of North Dakota Almo*t Wiped Out by Fire. Bismarck, N. D., was gutted by fire the other night aa never before in its history. The greater portion of the business sec­ tion at the town was wiped out, the Sheri­ dan hotel being one of the few important buildings left standing. The fiames also invaded the residence district, doing im­ mense damage. The total low will run Into hundreds of thousands, and may reach the million mark. The fire originated in the agent's office of the Northern Pacific depot, and almost •a soon os it was discovered the entire building and the immense warehouse of the company were in flame*. Inflammable oils and powder contributed to the rapid spread of the flames, and before they could be checked they had spread to a block of brick buildings across the alley, elentroyiug the Tribune, Nave’s hardware store and the entire row. The flame* then leaped across the street to the First National Bank building, - which melted away in a few minutes. The Central block foilowvd, and then the fire spread to the postoffice, sweeping over the entire block and carrying down the portoffice, the Merchants* Bank block, the Griffin block and all intermediate frame and brick structures. Kiipita's store and the greater part of that block were atao burn­ ed. The flames also spread north into the residence section and gutted it. The fire­ men were [wwfrieM to check the inroads of the fire, which spread to hundred* of buildings, licking them up as ao much waste paper.

Drew returned: but, as she went up the dimly lighted staircase, Lilith flew •lawn and said that Willie had made her •uEe ten in the painting room in his own particular •'Etna.” “Willi* happened to have n holiday,” Lilith informed her as she unbuttoned her eloak: “and—oh, mother, what do you think? He has been and han got us a box for 'Romeo and Juliet’ to-night." “Oh. I am so sorry!” Mrs. Dn*w looked regretfully nt Willie. It was good of the young man to trouble about them: but the idea of herself and Lilith in a theater when their life-trouble had come straight from the stage—it was impossible! Willie forgot a sort of shy awkwardness be felt with Mrs. Drew. and. while he poured out her teu and Lilith sat crouching by her, holding her teacup, he was quite elo­ quently persuasive. Mrs. Drew, always dreading to be selfish, began to waver. She bad been ttyjwn to see her husband’s children. ghe bad made sacrifices, that 5*ither the? nor their mother should want. If she had done this, she thought, Was it not foolish to dread seeing a stage-play, a theater, again? “You are beginning to persuade me,” she said, caressing Lilith's shaggy head. “I feel this child feverish with her long­ ing to go. Thank you, Mr. Macdonald! If I can make mr dull gown smart enough for going to the play. I will go." Driving through the brightly lit streets, dreamily listening to the chatter and laughter of the two cheerful young voices, while the delicate white-rose odor crept about her nostrils, seemed new, yet fa­ miliar, to Mrs. Drew. It had been an un­ pleasant step to take, this visiting a the­ ater. Almost by means of theaters her life had been crushed. But her conscience was So pure, so content, that rhe enjoyed life's trifles as only those who are pure in heart can enjoy them. As they alighted at the theater, she stopped and ginneed around her, looking like some beautiful hot-house flower sud­ denly transported there upon the pave­ ment, among the squalid or dirty passers­ by. Mrs. Drew reminded one of flowers, of beautiful works of art—just as Lilith reminded one of rough furze-tushes, or weird trees growing askew, or of any­ thing in nature uncouth and curious. Re­ marks were freely circulating, so Willie hurried the ladies in. aud was glad when they were safely seated. The crimMu house—with frescoes and a painted ceiling which Lilith began to in­ spect through Willie's opera glasses nt once— was still half lighted. There was no fare*. This was one of Masterton's innovations. Masterton was the new Shakspearean star.’ The curtain drew up, and Lilith, who looked rather more attractive in her black lace dress and with her hair damped into a certain orderliness, leaned over and said, “Oh!” It was the first stage picture she had seen. It took her breath away until the men in their quaint dres^a began to speak; then their nineteenth-century voices, not of the highest class, broke the ■pelt This was a stage, these were ac­ tors—this was not another world. Mrs. Drew waa studying her child. It wns delightful to watch the Action of the stage illustrated by the fleeting expression upon Lilith's face. _ * But presently was beard a slight round of applause. Juliet came in, a slim, girl­ ish creature with great dark eyes and a mas* of black hair. There were a grace and intensity in the Southern-looking girl which from the first had not failed to cap­ tivate her audiences. Her neck and arms were veiled by a gossamer drapery which only those with very sharp eyes or a first-rate glass had noticed. WlUie said very sympathetically to Mrs. Drew: “Poor girl, she is not well even yet! Splendidly made up though she is. don't you see how hollow her cheeks are ?" Mrs. Drew watched her, silently ac­ cepting Willie’s lorgnette. As she no­ ticed Juliet’s winning archness, ns she heard the soft, sweet tones of a voice that people strained to catch—it was some­ times very low. na if from girlish modesty, •r a fragility suggested by Miss Urd's atfllnesa—so instinctively she felt that she had of late beard a voice or voices that had affected her which bad the plaintive sweetness of this. Then she happened to look aside—nt a box where two fair children were leaning over, watching each movement on the stage and absorbed in th* performance. No sooner did she see this than a white mist grew up all around. She had gon<* away, as it were, into some state where there was nothing. She did not hear. sec. fed. think, til! suddenly Willie Macdonald grew out of the mist, and she heard the word “ill." In a moment she was able to whisper: “The heat! But I ennnot stay—I must not." The pleading, agonised look in her beau­ tiful eyes told Willie that some contre­ temps had occurred. “Of course we must go. and at once," he said. Then be nudged UHth, who was too dazed with this novel theatrical experi­ ence to notice her mother’s deadly pallor. She soon found out. though, that her darling mother was tired, DI, and was hastening n? her—Mrs. Drew was leaning against the oj*n box door, reviving in the cool air—when Willie peremptorily stop­ ped her. “Your mother must not be interfered with or spoken to to-night," he said. “Don't notice anything; leave her to her­ self as much as possible." Then he turned tb Mrs. Drew, wrapped her carefully »n Mrs. Macdonald’s mourn­ ful gray shawl, and saying “Follow us, dear, please,” to Lilith, led her along the psuM&ges. He stayed at the buffet to grt a glass of water. How he mentally cursed bls foolery a minute afterward! A little boy, fantastically dressed, with long rorht, ran up to Mrs. Drew. “Oh, it is the lady! I said it was; didn’t I. Ftorrie?"—to a delicate little dark-hair­ ed damsel who gravely held the hand of th* elderly nurse or servant iu charge. “Please kiss me." and, before the horrorstricken Willie Macdonald, who read what this meant in Mrs. Drew’s white face, could prevent him. be had thrown his arms round her neck and had kissed her lips. “The tvatch is going beautifully,” he said, nodding his curly head. “And doesn't mamma act Well? What— Oh, don't go away! In the last scene she makes people cry like anything, and Mr. Masterton saM he had two. real tears in his eyes, but they didn’t get out because of the paint; and Florrie and I counted twenty-three handkerchiefs out at the same time, aud seven of them were men In the stalls—there!" '“We will see your mamma in the last act another day, little man." said Willie, hurrying Mrs. Drew aud Lilith away down the stairs Then he found a secluded corner for them while he rushed wildly for a four­ wheeled cab. Of course, the brougham would not be in waiting; but he soon re­ turned with a cab. and they were driven back to Prinpe's Square under the quiet stars. What did this mean? Willie felt that understand Mrs. Drew and Lilith’s life he would, unless Mrs. Drew would not give him her sympathy. Then of course he must look on in the dark. “When a man meets a saintly martyr whose influence may kill all that there is mean and bad in him, then he ought to recognise the fact, aud be grateful to heaven for the meeting," he said to him­ self. Perhaps never In his life bad the goodnatured young fellow felt so exalted as he did, leaning back with folded arms in the corner of the old cnb. He felt re­ ligious. strong to fight, chivalrous, with a self-sacrificing devotion. • CHAPTER VI. The train was speeding fast through the rich summer morning. London, with its halo of black smoke, was far back in the distance. Mrs. Drew was alone in a first-class coinjmrtment. She leaned back thinking —dreaming a little, perhaps. She looked very sweet nnd sad, her delicate face more tenderly youthful in contrast to her mourning dress, and in relief against the dark cloth of tbc railway carriage. Outside the columns of white steam fled up gayly into the sunshine. The rills rip­ pled brightly through the meadows, the yellow corn stood tall, basking in the sun. Cottages glared white, dotted here and there, and now and tjapn the train went puffing through an webard, where the overladen apple boughs lay propped above the grass aud the pear gatherers were busy. Then they would pare some quiet copse where the trees seemed drooping, as if in communion with their own shad­ ows. The thought came to Mrs. Drew; she likened these- silently growing trees to herself. "I have no one in the world,” she told heroelf, “no one to tell my trou­ bles to, to lean upon, except it be my own shadow, my thoughts." Then she thought of Lilith and of Willie Macdonald. What if they should come to be nearer and dearer to each other? Bhp had seen some extra interest in Willie’s manner. "By and by he may love her," she thought, with a wistful, almost yearn­ ing recollection of the genial, handsome fare that looked so sympathetic, so earn­ estly kind. "And she? Oh, when Lilith lores, it will be in that devouring, pas­ sionate way her/ father loved—that— woman!” Back at the old townlet, Mrs. Drew felt quieted, more confident. The rector was standing on the platform, awaiting the train with nn anxious look, she thought. She went up to him, bng in hand. He smiled as she came up, seised her bag, and in a minute be was driving her home. There was nothing wrong, he assured her, as they drove through the lanes, un­ der the tall trees, save that, since she left, the squire had seemed fidgety and anxious. Madam Ware’s calm content had irritated rather than quieted him. “Last night I dined there," continued the rector. "He talked of nothing but Lilith. 'Some harm was coming to the lass, alone iu that crowded London,* waa his fixed notion. I did not argue with him—I ■eldum do. But I did persuade him not to stand under the broiling sun In the harvest field at noonday, with only his felt hat to protect him from the rays.” How peaceful waa the great Hall, with the slowly ticking dock, and a bumble­ bee who had made big way in from the hut flower garden buzzing and booming sleepily as he drowsily sought an exit!A* she went along the corridor to her mother's little sitting room, the lowered blinds moved to and fro in the breeze, nnd si»e saw her own flower garden, a blaze of dahlias, hollyhocks and late roses, and, beyond, the wigwam and the tall pqplaro. Opening the door gently, there was her mother in her little old-fashioned chair in the low-ceiled room with the huge cupboards. Mrs. Drew went to her moth­ er and eml raced her more tenderly than ever. She fancied, as the little deaf moth­ er took off her spectacles and began a swing of inquiries about Lilith, that the withered cheeks were cold and pale. But Madam Ware stoutly defended herself on the score of health. “Now it it waa your father, my dear,” she went on; and Lillian had to listen to a long account of his careh'jMness, which seemed so scnaeh-SM, provoking serious ill­ ness when he was »» exasperated nt the idea of a visit from his nephew, or indeed at the idea of Col. Ware at all. “You see. it is so contradictory, my love." said Mad­ am Ware, who hud resumed her glasses, and was settling herself to her fine plain work. “We all know the Almighty al­ lows but threescore years and ten at the utmost Yoar father is nigh upon tliat, for he was a man in years when we were married. Yet one would think, with his fads and reckless ways, he wanted to get off sooner aud make way for Geoffrey. He is down broiling his poor head among the harvesters.” “I will go to him" said Lillian. . She took an umbrella aud went bravely through the hot, dusty fields. The squire “I suppose you sent an answerY’ asked Mrs. Drew. "I wrote on the paper they brought me. “Dm as you like. We old folks ain't of any account nowadays.’ ’* “Then I think he won’t come,” said Lillian. "I wish you had not been quite so-so abrupt," she added. “Oh, then you want to see the man who’s going to turn yon out?*’ said the squire. “You women are queer animals! I’ll be bound you'll make a fuss with the fellow—hang upon him and flatter him os soon as my coffin’s in the old multi Oh, yes!. What’s that they used to say? •The king is dead-dong live the king!* " Mrs. Drew managed to "talk over" her father, and left him in his smoking room, with his favorite long pipe and a fresh copy of the County Gazette, to go to her mother. She bad seen by the telegram that her cousin the colonel was to arrive that day. Feeling dusty after her journey, and wishing to be on the spot when the colo­ nel arrived, lest he should be received by her deaf mother—to whom it was still a trouble to be misunderstood or bawled at —Mrs. Drew went to her room to change her dress. The garden was basking tn the sun. The terraces, with their flower stands, were glaring to the eyes, as Mrs. Drew passed out. Shading her eyes with her parasol, she saw the beat rising gid­ dily between her and the poplars. She turned away from the garden, and took the path to the shrubbery. No one could drive from the station to the Hall witnout passing the shrubbery. The dog-curt sent to the station to be in waiting fer Colonel Ware must pass here; but, as the carriage road took a curve and diverged, she would have time to be iu the Hail to, receive her cousin. If she hastened back through the garden. She had'been shading herself with her parasol* But the sun waa already sinking to the level of the hills opposite, and the air had perceptibly cooled. So she abut her parasol, and, as she did so, rose, for she saw she waa not alone in the “wilder­ ness.” A man was standing leaning against a tree that bordered the grass plot. He was'neatly but somewhat shabbily dressed. He was tall, stout, middle-aged, with white hair and mustache. The emp­ ty sleeve looped up. the military bearing, it certain familiarity in the profile—for he was gazing out into the park—told Mrs. Drew that this was the expected gut'sL "Colonel Ware—Cousin Geoffrey!” she exclaimed, going across to him with ex­ tended hand. There is always greater sweetness in self-conquerors; and the travel-worn, tired mao—who was himself performing a scarcely agreeable duty in this early visit to Heathside—thought the greeting of this slight, fragile woman with the pensive, re­ signed face the sweetest welcome he had had for many n long year. "Lillian!”, he said, just touching her hand respecfully with his lips. "The lit­ tle girl who wss so greatly offended be­ cause I thought she might possibly re­ quire the services of some one besides the squire! Well, how is the squire?” "Oh, well—as well as usual!” said Mrs. Drew—they were walking along the path toward the bouse. "A little startled by your telegram, perhaps." she continued, diplomatically. "He dislikes Innovations —railways, electricity. People who know him don’t send him telegrams if they can help it." "Weil, that'is a relief so far," remark­ ed the colonel. "Really, I assure you. your father sent me such a strange tele­ gram that I came down here believing he hated the sight of me, and therefore skulked toward the bouse under cover, leaving my man and your groom discuss­ ing a glass of beer at the Railway Inn, with strict injunctions not to follow for nt least half an hour. Now is your father offended because I hare not written all these years? Yon know men baking un­ der a tropical sun ere not good correspon­ dents, and I always believed he distrust­ ed me." "Oh, it is not that!" said Lillian. She spoke hastily, and betrayed herself. She blushed. How could she repair her mistake? There was silence for a minute; then the colonel, opening the gate with his one arm—the right—said dryly: “I understand. Mrs. Drew; but sui. !y you and your mother, who was so good to me, trust me?’ "Trust you? Of course." Mrs. Drew wss crimson now. “You are to succeed us here, and we have the proper feeling for our heir. But." she continued, warm­ ly, “you cannot expert us not to connect you with the idea of my father's death. . He must die—his coffin must come empty into the Hall, and be carried away full to the vault—before we can nee you head of everything here.” "Well, who said I could be bead of evuy thing here?” said the colonel, some what brusquely, standing between Lillirn and the narrow path that led to the ter­ races, so that she must either make a rush across a bed of young lettuces or stop short. “Do you think a man who has led an active military life wants to turn farm­ er and to stagnate? I can assure you I have no taste for vegetation. I am an heir against my will; and it la just to see what can be legally done to exclude my life-interest in this estate that I have come to-day. Before I leave, the affair will be righted.” “Righted? But your .wife, your chi! dren?” asked Mrs. Drew, puzzled and somewhat discomfited. “Madam, with all due respect to your charming sex, I am a happy bachelor,” said the colonel, “and I expect to remain so. But really,” he added, changing his tone, "I did not expect to arrive primed with a declaration of tny intentions, or with a species of challenge. Let us talk the matter over, you and I—the coheirs— by ourselves. The squire is hale and hearay—be will last long, please heaven! We are the oM people's props, their children.” Lillian held out her hand nnd looked gratefully at this fraternal cousin. He clasped her hand, dropped it, and they went into the homo*. "Here is our own particular hat stand, cousin,” Mid Lillian, as they entered the house by the garden door. “I will go and see where they are." Then she smiled at him and went off quickly with her elastic step. Geoffrey Ware confused that lie Lad. He knew that Lillian had been heartlessly deserted; that she lived with her rmrents while her husband was publicly owning a second family abroad; and that “the man” who had disgraced hi« mimbuod nnd de­ graded his military calling was dead. “The fellow Is dead,” he said, in a con­ temptuous tone. “At least yon have that consolation.” “Oh. dear!” returned Madam Ware, dis­ tressed. “I hope yon will never, on any account, apeak like that to Lillian. She will not have her husband disparaged. She ia right, of course. And pray do not speak to the squire in that way ; he felt it all so.very much, and. if anything hap­ pens to remind him of It, he is art off. as it were----- ” "Hush!” sai l ths colonel. He hod heard footsteps an the terrace which were in­ audible to deaf Madam Ware. Lillian Drew and her father came in to­ gether through the long window. The squire looked half angry, half pleased; Mrs. Drew was smiling. Their Interview had been almost comical. The squire's dislike to the man wbo must succeed him waa no stronger than the natural philan­ thropy which was generally concealed by his irritability and gruffnesa; so that he had alternately said he had "no grudge against poor Davie’s boy—just the re­ verse”—but that he felt as if "the sight of the fellow" would give him “a fit." When Mrs. Drew told her father Colonel Ware’s ideas, he softened utterly, and muttered that nothing should induce him to hear of such stuff and nonsense. The colonel was relieved, gratified at his reception; and when dinner wns an­ nounced he escorted his aunt—who bad always wanted an arm to lean on since she broke her ankle a year or two back— carefully, tenderly, feeling that, after all,, blood was thicker than water.

Kentucky Man Who Could Break Up a Camp Meeting. “Did you ever kLow a man who could sneeze loud enough to break up a camp meeting, to stop the taking of tes­ timony In court and cause a bellowing cow to stop In disgust and wonder what the noise was that was drowning Its thunderous voice?" said an old fish­ erman last night. On being informed that his sneezer was entitled to cake and all the acces­ sories necessary to conduct an up-todate bakery, the gentleman consented to tell more of his sneezing friend. He said: "While fishing tn a mountain town In eastern Kentucky last fall, I went to the village near by one rainy morning, to attend Circuit Court. The judge was delivering an Impressive charge to the grand jury, and every ear was lis­ tening to catch each word, when the stlllneiw of rhe court was broken by an unearthly ker-chew, ker-chew, kerchew, ker-chew, etc., etc., etc. The judge was thunderstruck, nnd Instantly every eye was turned toward the rear of the room, where a little, unobtrusive looking old farmer sat sneezing as If his bead was coming off. The judge ordered the sheriff to bring the Intruder before the bench. The offender came forward ’and the judge had a fine en­ tered against tbe Innocent cause of the disturbance. "Two of the sneezer's friends were caged, who testified to the man's good character and high standing, but said they could hear him sneeze three miles any day in the year. One said tbe sneezer once broke up a camp meetlug with a sneezing spell and that he saw an enraged borine stop a thunderous bellowing tit to look in wonder at tbe human wbo could make more noise than a mad bulL But the old fellow couldn't help It, and the fine was remit­ ted."—Louisville (Ky.)

THE STAVE RIE.O. To Keep "Butter Cool. Here 1* a good plan for keeping butter cool In summer. In the middle of your cellar floor dig a hole or vault three and one-half feet deep and three and onehalf feet square. Wall It up with brick laid lu lime mortar and cement and floor It with soft brick. Lay a frame of good hard wood in mortar upon the top of this* vault Hinge to the frame a trap-door of plank two inches thick, making It fit smoothly over tbe top. Then after the cream Is separated end cooled put it down In tbe vault to ripen. Butter may be kept there In tbe agree­ able coclness, also. If you have no separator, put the cream Into your vault as soon as yon have skimmed It. there tp cool and ripen. Once or twice a week clear out the vault and wash It thoroughly to prevent Its getting moldy. Pour cold water upon tbe soft bricks of the floor. They will absorb It and cool the air. This Is a very sueceosful way to keep milk, butter and cream cool In hot weather on farms where there Is no Ice.—Valley Farmer. Feeding for tbe Dairy. It used to be thought that the heifer calf, because she was Intended to be­ come a cow rather than fattened for beef, could be starved and stinted on almost any kind of food during Its first year, and be, perhaps, a better cow therefor. We do not believe In feeding calves Intended for cows with food that has a fattening tendency. Skim milk is much better than whole milk for them, nnd wheat bran with some middlings mixed with It Is a better diet to make growth than is corn or other grain. But It does not pay to starve any calf. It necessarily weakens tbe digestive or­ gans, which like all others In the body are strengthened by what they have to do. If the digestion Is Injured all other organs must suffer. Raspberries.

Quite a number of the nights were very cool, although the days have been warm. Tbe average total precipitation, 0.41 of an inch, is 0.11 of at? inch less than the normal.

Some localities in the eastern part of tbe central coun­ ties have not had any rainfall, but most of the counties of the State have been quite generally visited by show­ ers.

"I did not love my husband in that way: and it wns fust the knowledge of this which made me fce) an if I were partly responsible for his loving another woman." „ I “You have not loved your husband," ■aid the colonel, gravely throwing away hta cigar, "and you do not love me?

I Nrondcr you dare ask such u thing! 1, a gxmrried woman, too!” I The?- followed the path in silence. The teol-nei was perfectly satisfied. Thia was .passionless, immovable abstraction in shape of a woman! The quiet Mrs. BDrew bad shown not only wounded van­ ity, but anger and jealousy during this £ort interview, while her emotions had en stirred. "I can make her love me brith a doglike love," he told himself. “She tohall hot be my stave; but I bet that a year hence no one wHl be able to say with truth what they are so fond of saying jgbout some newly married couple#—‘the love is all on one side.’ " While he was thinking thus, Lillian Drew, in her annoyance, pique. and per­ turbation. almost disliked him. < They were on the terrace. “Lillian." culled Mrs. Ware from with­ in the lighted drawing room, "have you your little shawl, my dear? Remember the dew. and your thin muslin.” , “Your dress may be damp; you had bet­ ter go in at once,” said the colonel, touch­ ing her shoulder lightly whh his one hand. **I suppose you would like to say ‘No* to gne before I go. Well, I do not intend to give you the opportunity. 1 would not accept iiny answer to-night, as I have tak­ en you by surprise. I shall travel for a foontb: then I shall come here for your answer. Meanwhile—heaven bless you Hrwj your child—aud the dear old folk. . Then he stepped into the drawing room, paid good-night and good-by to his aunt, and -went off to the squire in the smoking tOODl. ■ Mrs. Drew awoke in the night, thought of her peculiar position, said to herself that the colonel was n brute—only wanted to marry her to simplify matters and to ptay the benefactor—and solved her diffi­ culties by crying herself to sleep. When Mary entered quietly the next morning she brought a letter from Lilith—a short ••Oh. dearest mother, I nm—we all are in such trouble! Willie has bad an acci­ dent to his head; he is still Insensible: and it was my fault. If you could only come! Mrs. Law is dreadfully angry with me. and I do not wonder; but I do not care fur that, kunt Macdonald says nothing, and is wonderfully patient; but she looks ao white, and as wretched ns if she believ­ ed Willie would die.” Mrs. Drew read the note twice, ordered •the carriage, gave housekeeping direc­ tions. caught the early train, and in a few "hours was knocking at the door of the Old house in Prince's Square. Lilith took her mother to the drawing room, and related that Willie was taking her f<*r a walk one evening, when her foot slipped, and she fell, crossing a road. A carriage came dashing round the cor­ ner. and, in trying to snatch her from ■under the rearing horses, suddenly check­ ed by the coachman, Willie was knocked ~Oik’ of the horses kicked him," she «nid. “How awful it wan! Horae men and I tL>ok him to a hospital close by; then Mrs. Law came in the carriage with her own doctor, and brought him home.

She was. as it were, steadied by this nnexp-rted trouble. Yesterday and the colonel seemed a feverish drt^tm. Hhe cnade Lilith lie down; then she took off her bonnet, and. going to the door of the sick tooit.. knocked. Mr*. Macdonald came to brushing her long hair. The crown had been added since. She looked away, slightly startled at such a curious incident—away to the oth­ er side of the room, where there wan an iron bedstead, beside which sat a nurse, who roue as she and Mrs. Macdonald ap­ proached the bod. ■ "Sit down," said Willie’s mother, gent­ ly pushing Mr*. Drew into the vacant chair. "He will not know or take notice. Wlllte's face was turned away on the pillow—hla head was bandaged; but his breathing was soft and alow. "I believe that he will get well, that be Is better,“ said Mrs. Drew confidently to the mother and nurse. Then rhe went to Lilith, who wait lean­ ing in dumb despair against the painting room window. Since the night when Wil­ liam Macddnald promised Mrs. Drew to protect and care for Lilith, be bad grad­ ually made himself indispensable to the girt While living his own working life he had actually lived for her. It all seem­ ed so plain to Lilith now as she looked out at the black garden#—the dying leaves dropping with the steady rain and the clouds of smoke borne downward, mak­ ing a dismal picture. She had been ex­ acting, too, aud on one or two occasions, when he was unpunctual, had been al­ moat disagreeable in her manner to him, who was always cheerfully kind. When her mother came in aud said, “He is bet­ ter: I feel sure he will live,” she burst into a fit of sobbing; but this broke the ice, and she spent the next half hour in passionate eulogium—extravagant, even, for Lilith. “This is that calf-love Colonel Geoffrey sneered at,” thought her mother; “and be, of course, loves her?' She sighed— sighed as one disabled by age may sigh, watching the gambols of young creatures In the exuberance of youth's grace and frwdom. She was loath to grieve her child; but, when Lilith spoke of the time when she should be allowed to see the patient, she at once told her that she would return home that night. Lilith begged and entreated: she coax­ ed, argued, erea fell at her mother’s knees and embraced them; but this made Mrs. Drew still firmer in her determina­ tion—only she softened matters by sug­ gesting that, when William Macdonald was better, he should come to Heathsidc for change of air. And being satisfied with thia concession, Lilith took leave of her London friends aud returned home with her mother. CHAPTER XL It was a calm August evening. The harvest was oyer; the last roses were half hidden by the dying leaves. The hall windows glittered golden red in the sun­ set. This was the day that Willie Mac­ donald was to come to Heathside Hall-“to t>e nursed,” as Mrs. Drew worded it. A fortnight before she had ionged to have the forlorn little tad. her husband’s only •on Gerald, to lavish her tenderness upon; but Colonel Ware and Mr. Rawson had taken the affair of the actress and her family completely out of Lillian's hands. Mrs. Drew wns not consulted; she was told what had been done. And tK ways of those two worldly wise men were not as her impulsive and somewhat eccentric ways. Gerald was sent away to the seaside to be day board­ er at a school where he was afterward to be educated—instead of going to Eton and coating Mra. Drew the greater part of her income, ns she had intended. The mother was removed from the house of her drunken parents to a home where she would be nursed back into health, should such a thing be possible; aud the little girls were placed in the family of a strug­ gling clergyman, whose wife would give them maternal ••are. It was all most sat­ isfactorily arranged. To-day Willie was tn arrive, shortly be­ fore dinner. Neither Mrs. Drew nor Lil­ ith had altered her daily program. They bad been out; Lilith had put the finishing touches to a landscape. Mra. Drew, ar­ ranging her hair liefore her glass about six o’clock,- saw Lilith, already dressed, sannterifig into the garden. ' “Where are you going?" she cried, hnr-, ryitgj to the window. rTbe train will t>e in guon; he will be here in leas than half an hour." “I am going to fetch a book I left in the wigwam,'' said Lilith coolly, and then she went slowly flown the terrace steps. Mrs. Drew stared for a moment in sur­ prise; then she returned to her dressing table. “Strange child.*" she thought, puzzled. “She adores him—1 am certain of it; yet. when he is expected, she gets out of the way. Is she afraid of betraying herself? It must I* that—it can lie nothing else!" Her kind little mother was already in the drawing room. As Lillian joined her. she asked the aid of Ser arm. “I must be in the hall, to welcome the jsMir tad, Lillian, ray dear,” she said as she walked slowly wit of the room and old oaken porter's chair. "He wiH feel lonely. strange—poor young man—tired from his journey." ••for jH-or Lilith’s sake.” Then she exonThere was no sound but a distant whis­ erased Lilith from all blame. tle from the railway.

Raising hi rawIf on his arm, he saw his mate attendant stretched asleep upon the chintz-covoted couch; be­ yond was a writlug table; on cither side of the writing materials were vaaes con­ taining clusters of white roves. His weakened heart gave a leap. Whit* roees! Who had decked hla room with these reminiscences of that eventful night when, by his innocent connivance, the lovely woman who had worn his gift of just such flowers had to naffer so much with such gentle bravery st the theater? Could it be Mrs. Drew herself? Ob, no, impoaslbte! The blood rushed to his pale cheek. The excitement of the thought made him feel stronger than since his ac­ cident; he coughed loudly, awakened the man servant and insisted upon getting up. At breakfast Lilith came In and greet­ ed Willie aa quietly os if this had been the table In Prince’s Square, with severe Mrs, Law at its head instead of her moth­ er. Then she sat down in ber place, which was next Willie’s, and remained p*le and silent for a white. She had suf­ fered intensely on the preceding day, dreading to see a change iu her bright­ faced friend—a change of which she had been the Innocent cause; she Buffered still more when she realised the effect of the accident. Willie Macdonald was not only thin and white-faced; there were the lines marked around his eyes by bruin mischief. He stooped; each movement was languid and heavy, instead of brisk and buoyant. Little wonder that Lilith felt hopelessly wretched! She got away from the breakfast table as soon as she could, nnd went wander­ ing aimfauily into the shrubbery. Th* pleasant working time—pleasant in spit* of its struggles and disappointments— when Willie’s companionship had been ber hajtplncsa, Willie's consolation and his way of making fun of ber difficulties her great help in patiently enduring her life at the drawing school, seemwl age* ago. THE Marder Mystery a* Detroit-Drowned in Otsego Lake—Disabled in Laks Hold Up One more murder mystery has been add­ ed to Detroit's list by the discovery of the .body of Valmore NIcbota. a Pittsfield fanner, found floating in the Detroit river near the head of Bolte late. The lower part of the body aud the tegs were wrap­ ped in wire, attached to which were two large flat stones. These, however, proved Insufficient to completely sink the body, and it was found in an almost upright po­ sition.

Admiral Dowry had to contend in the 1‘niHppines since the sinking of the Span­ ish fleet. Indeed, that feat was the least difficult of his many labors, says a corre­ spondent of the New York Sun, writing prior to the capture of Manila. His chief trouble wax occasioned by the Germans. The latter seemed to take special delight in violating moral proprieties and disre­ garding Admiral Dewey’s regulations. Admiral Dewey had ordered that there should be no movement of ships or boats •bout the bay at night without his knowl­ edge and permission." That was neces­ sary to an effective blockade; and in order to be legal, n blockade must be effective. The Gentians began at once to disregard the regulation. They sent launches about after sundown as if there bad been no such regulations. The launches were stopped by our patrol boats and some of them were turned back. The result was friction between the two admirals. Von Diedrichs protested. Dewey replied that his regulation must be observed. The Germans kept up their work nnd Dewey’s ships have watched the Ger­ mans at night with their searchlights. It is particularly offensive to one war­ ship to be the target for another’s search­ light. but that has happened to the Ger­ mans several times as the wheeling Amer­ ican lights examined the bay to see what ■VICE-ADMIBAI. VOX DIEDRICHS. was going on. Von Diedrichs did not like it. Dewey sent word that he regretted the necessity of such work, but he was compelled to. keep informed of what went on in the bay at night. He intimated that the Germans were acting as if they thought that they were blockading Manila instead of the Americans. It is quite within his right as the blockader to do this, but Von Diedrichs pro­ tested The German admiral twisted Dewey’s contention nud construed it as a claim of the right of search. Dewey Willinic to Fisht* Mutters kept getting worse. German launches were stopped and sent to their ships. Permission to move in the night time wns refused on some occasions, nnd finally Admiral Dewey took occasion to any to the German ting lieutenant that certain things meant war and the 'Ger­ mans were approaching dangerously near them. Then he added in sutatnnee that it the Germans wanted war they could have it now or at any other time, here or at any other place. In reply »o this Von Diedrichs took a pacificnJory tone aud disavowed any intentiou of violating proper usages or the American admiral's blockade regulations. Then came the Subig bay Incident The insurgents were attacking Isla de Grautk-. They had captured a steamer from iffe Spanish and they sent her down to Subig with men. She came back one afternoon and rejiorted to Dewey that the cruiser Irene bad prevented her from attacking Grande Island aud had forced her to haul down her insurgent flag aud raise a white Dewey sent the Raleigh aud Concord there at once. They went in and cleared for action nt 8:15 the next morning, ready for what might come. German or other­ wise. As they went in on one side of the island, the Irene came out on the other at full steam. .The two American ■hips took the island with <123 prisoners, nearly ail Spanish soldiers, aud GUO rifle*, with an immense quantity of ammunition.

U-.lIs excited over the disclosunv following Colonel Henry’s suicide and the wildest rumors are affoat. The people are de­ ms nding a retrial for the prisoner of Devil's Island and the government faces the prcsqiwt of war with the Kaiser if this is granted and the whole truth told and a revolution at home if it is refused. Officers of the French army, threaten to resign and tell all they know of the Dreyfus case, and many of rhe highest men in military circleware implicated in the promised exposures. No order for a revision of the Dreyfus verdict can be secured until the cabinet meets, and the ministers are now scattered, apparently wishing to keep out of the way for the present.

David J. Overholt and Levis .L Overholt, the president and sup­ erintendent of the comjwny that has fifty negruew at work, were captured by twenty of the atriking miner* and marched to­ ward the abaft. Rev.

Tbe miners, 700 or 800 strong, npon hearing of tbe affair, left their headquar­ ters. where they had been in session, nnd hurried toward the colliery, die State offi­ cials following. They overtook the mob half way out and secured from David J. Overholt a note advising Sheriff Coburn to allow the negroes to confer with the union men. The operators behaved brave­ ly and were well treated after the union officials arrived. Sheriff Coburn met the committee of citizens and miners who bore the note at the edge of the mine property. The negroes and deputies occu­ pied strong positions behind hastily thrown up barricades of log*. Coburn de­ clined to honor the request, giving as bis excuse that the Overholts were not the mine owner?. He sent beck a'note ad­ dressed to John Mitchell demanding tbe surrender of the captives. Mitchell re­ plied he had nothing to do with tbe mat­ ter. Tbe miners then held' a meeting and were addressed by Mitchell, William Wright of-Carterville, William Oppbam of Danville and others. Al lurged peace aud no violence. The men were for start­ ing again toward the mine. They wanted to make the Overhqlts march in front and Would have done so hnd not tbe cooler headed men prevailed. The crowd of arm­ ed men surged back nnd forth around the Overtook*. who were well guarded, and tbe mob several times wan on the point of starting for the shaft. The officials of the miners’ union, not desiring trouble, managed to induce the more1 frantic men to listen to reason. Some one cried: “Let us have a parade,” and with a cheer tbe men moved toward the business part of town, with the Overholts in the front line. At Schuyler's bank the crowd halt­ ed nnd the prisoners were taken into the pjresident’s private office, where they con­ ferred for a time with the principal offi­ cials of the miners’ union. In half an hour they were released and hurried to the shaft. 'Hie men paraded the streets for a time and then became quiet. The Farmer's Day at Banff. There Is no longer any doubt concern­ ing the immediate outlook for tbe farmer. Every iDdfcation ia that prices are going to be fair and the profits from agriculture such as to make farming a lucrative occupation. The years just past have been such as <o try the skill of the farmers, and those who have not taken advantage of modern methods and machinery have had a hard time, indeed. We do not expect to have universal agreement as to the return of good times. When times got so good that no one will complain tlait farming docs not pay tfie millennium will Imre ar­ rived. The average farmer does not make money even In the best years. The average crop of com In thta coun­ try te only twenty-four bushels to the acre, and the. average crop of wheat one-half thia. The average cow makes less than 100 pounds of butter In a year, and the average hen lays but three down eggs In twelve months, and all of these at times when prices are lowest. These returns are not such as to in­ sure a profit when prices are at their highest. Below the average production there are many who must fare badly. They struggle along in a state of pov­ erty and put in tbedr time complaining about their lot. We believe that not one in 1.000 farmers who res,id the pa­ pers and adopt modern methods get crops the yield of which is ns low as the average of the country. Th- man who takes every advantage that skill and Science places at his Command may confidently count on crops above the average, nnd many times so far above that his profits will be entirely satis­ factory.

So doing will raise the beef as high as desired. Southern Corn Alway» Late. It Is always the rule that corn grown far North ripens much earlier than Southern corn. It not only has to lie­ cause the season is much shorter, but it must lie remembered that the South­ ern corn gets during the growing sea­ son or from the 21 at of March to the 21st of September fewer hours of sun­ light than docs the far North. “This is probably the reason why all kinds of vegetables attain their highest per­ fection and greatest yields near the northern limit of their growth.

What a Large Number of People are Enduring. A Distressing Condition in Which Many American People are Involved—The Only Way to Alleviate it. If there Is oue thing of which'one may not have too many, that thing Is pillows. Hammock and porch cushions axe of brilliant ginghams, with 4-inch ruffles of the same. Some of black lawn, with white cloth figures, dashed in red, etched and appllqued in the Beardsley style, are very pretty. De­ nim pillows, with the idea of fish net carried out in coarse cottons, produce a striking effect, where crabs and lob­ sters of red cloth have been appllqued. For floor cushions nothing Is better than denim and jeans. Make the pil­ lows themselves of any shape, oblong, square or round. If oblong or square, simple slips of denim, brightened with turkey-red calico, ami embroidered with some conventional design in tur­ key-red cotton are desirable. Those made of the fancy red and white crash, worked in turkey-red cotton, haring 4-lnch ruffles of red calico, are durable. Others are made by substituting a red bandana for the crash.

Beware of Chimney Firea. Beware of chimney Area. It Is usual­ ly aupi>oaed that the greateat danger from these is in mid-winter, when fur­ naces and ranges ami stoves are being forced to their utmost capacity. But when the fires are allowed to get low occasionally, and more wood is used, the soot collects more rapidly In the chimney, and unless precautions are taken to avoid this accumulation. a fierce'blaze in starting a new fire will ignite the soot, and cause the dreaded chimney tires. There te no better method of avoiding this than that so often recommended of burning pieces , of zinc. Plenty of the old zinc should be kept on ha ml for this purpose. A piece of the zinc placed on the live coals In a hot stove will ef­ fectually clean out the Move pipe aud chimney*, the vapors produced carry­ ing off the soot by chemical decomposi­ tion.

A Boiler at Henry Strong's Explodcd Without Serious In­ jury to Anyone. What might have been a terrible accident occured yesterday p.m. about one o’clock at Henry Strong's brick­ yard in tbe northern part of the city. A boiler, used to supply power for running the brick machine and saw mill, exploded with terrific force but fortunately no one happened to get :seriously injured. Mr. Strong and acme men who were helping him, were in sawing logs at the time of '■ the explosion and his two sons Henry and Joseph aged 12 and 4 years were playing about the mill. Suddenly a ■ terrific report was heard and after the steam had cleared away the men /-looked around for the engine and found that the front part of it had been thrown about 120 feet from its foundstfon and had completely demolished the brick-maehine in its flight. When it struck, the fly wheeel of the engine weighing 1000 pounds, was broken off and continued its flight for about 300 feet farther and finally brought up in ■ rae-of tbe clay pits. The back part - of the boiler was blown in the opposite ' direction and did lota of damage in ha flight, tearing down about 90 feet of the. sheds which shelter tbe brick kilns. Mr. Strong’s two little buys were ■doser to the boiler than any of th*.: • other- and it seems almost a miracle .• that they were not instantly killed but -as it was. tbe older boy, Henry, was •C’Qly slightly injured in tbe side, while fore younger brother was quite badly fenraed about the feet and legs by the terud up about the head and shoulders fey the Falling debris.

Then Druce, the Anglo-Frenchman, came in. He wore his white painting suit. He looked bored, or sad. Still he welcomed his guests witli a sort of care­ less grace.

War Will R«*att in tbe Division of • Fortune Amons Them. The news of Gen. Kitchener's victory over the dervishes at Omdurman was re­ ceived with the greatest satisfaction in London, where it is held that England has at last wiped out the stigma attaching to her defeat in the previous expedition to the Soudan. The sirdar, with the khalifa’s black standard captured during the battle, entered Omdqnnan, capital of the mahdi, at 4 o’clock on Friday afternoon at the head of the Anglo-Egyptian column, after completely routing the dervfehes and dealing a death blow to mahdiam. Estimates of the losses to the British side in the attack on the dervfeh capital nre placed at about 200. The dervish losses are variously estimated at from 2,000 to 10,000. It is probable that the number killed is about 6,000. The wound­ ed will reach three times 6,000. All tho savage carops have been routed and It is thought there will not be much further aerious resistance to the British advance. The heroic bravery of the dervishes evoked universal admiration. Time after time their dispersed and broken forces re­ formed and hurled themselves upon the Angio-Egyptians, their emirs conspicu­ ously leading and spurning death. Eren when wounded and in death agonies they raised themselves to fire a last shot For nearly a week the English nation had been passing through a state of sus­ pense not unlike that which prevailed in tbe United States a few months ago while news was being awaited of the result of Dewey’s expedition against Manila. * It was known that Gen. Kitchener, at the head of the Anglo-Egyptian forces, was gradually advancing upon Omdurman, the fortified stronghold of the Khalifa on the west bank of the Nile, and while there has been little, if any, doubt of the result, there has been an intense anxiety to know that the expected victory had been won and at how great a cost. The battle, resulting in the defeat of the dervish forces, is presumed to have open­ ed the way to Khartoum, at the junction of the Blue and the White Nile, which has been the point the expedition was in­ tended to reach. If so, the first step in the movement designed to aynge the murder of "Chinese” Gordon kruanuary, 1885, bn« has been accompltsneo. accomplished. since Since war that event Khartoum and all eastern Soudan have ‘ 'been sealed against the English and the condition of the latter practically un­ known. With Khartoum in its posses­ sion England will be in practical control of the Nile—a control which it is evident­ ly the determination of tiff: British Gov­ ernment to retain at any coat At least |l,«M),000 prize money will be distributed among American sailors as a result of tbe war with Spain. More than one-half of thia sum will Ik* paid in at*cordanc<* with that section of few provid­ ing for the payment of a bounty for per•ons on board of vessels of war sunk in action. .From the official., report of Ad­ miral Montcjo, commanding the Spanish fleet sunk at Manila, there were 1,875 persons on board the shijw under his com­ mand. The Spanish fleet was of inferior force to the American squadron and Rear Admiral Dewey’s men will therefore get only |100 forAach [>erson. Rear Admiral Dewey, p* eummander-in-chief, will, how­ ever. be >9,375 richer than he was before the war. Rear Admiral Sampson has re­ alized a snug little fortune as the result of the war. As commander-in-chief of the North Atlantic fleet-he will get onetwentieth of every prize taken in North Atlantic waters, and one-twentieth of the head mpney allowed for the Vessels de­ stroyed off Santtago and in Cubafi ports. It is estimated that be will finally receive about >40.000 as hfe share of prize money. The amontit of head money due the fleet will consequently aggregate >249,200.

They Are Layins Down Arms to Get Something to K*t. The first voluntary surrender of arms on the part of tbe Cubans Mince the Amer­ icans occupied Santiago occurred last week, when 200 men belonging to Gen. Cebreco's division turned their arms over to Gen. Lawton. The men said they were hungry and deaired to go to work. The band was composed of white* and ne­ groes. Gen. Lawton put the men to work ou the water front, paying'them in ra­ tions. He told them be could not pay them in money. Hunger. n« well as in-, action, was having its effect on the Cu­ bans. They have no commissariat, forage is scarce, and living off the country which another army has picked clean is no easy task. Gen. Lawton has sent word to the Cabana that ho will' issue rations to all who surrender their arms, but he wiU not consider applications from men with arni* in their hands.

Editor News: Thinking that some of my many friends, in your vicinity would be pleased to hear from me and what 1 have to say about army Hfe and the southern country generally, I take pleasure in writing to them through the medium of your paper. June 27 I enlisted in company D 32d Michigan Vol. Infty., as a recruit to help fill out the company to the war maximum. We left Battle Oreek’on the following day, Wednesday, at 4.15 p. m. to join our regiment which was at that time camped in DeSoto park, on Hillsborough Bay. an arm of Tampa Bay, some four miles from the city of Tampa, Fla. After three days and nights riding through the dry and hot country we arrived at Arbor City, a suburb of Tampa,’and after going to a restaurant to dinner we were ordered to board a street car and taken to camp some two miles distant. On rescuing the camp we were marched into the company street, where we were greeted by loud yells and handshakes, in fact everything, save kisses, that goes to help make up tbe ceremony of a happy meeting. After the lungs were exhausted they took us into their tent, ours had not been issued yet, and bade us lie down on their blankets to rest and sleep, as we were very tired, but it was very lit­ tle rest we got as there were so many questions to be asked and answered. At 5(30 we heard for the first time the call, “fall in for mess” and behold a idhg line of men reaching nearly half the length of the company's street with tin plates and cups in their hands marching in single file -past the mess tent to receive these rations which consisted of hard tack, coffee, pota­ toes, J>acon and rice pudding. 1 would stop here to say that the bill of fare varied greatly from this and as a general thing we get plenty to eat. We were informed by the boys that by .not going when they first went, some six weeks before, that we mis.-ed all the best part of the game, viz: Lo­ cating in a patch of palmettos, where they could hardly see each other for’brush, dust and ashes made by the fire which, during the dry season run through and licked up the dry leaves and weeds underneath the large pal­ mettos which were too green to burn. But they acted in the true blue Yankee style and in ten days they had tlie pal­ mettos all dug out and also a good parade ground cleared off and was just getting in shape to live when the rain began to fall, and it rained and rained and rained until they were obliged to order lumber and put floors, in the tents to keep from drowning. One thing to their credit is that they were clever enough to order soft wood lumber, so when they spread their rub­ ber blankets down it didn’t make just such a bad place to sleep after all, although I would not advise any one One more week passed with nothing I to try it. The day following our arrival being of any great importance taking place Sunday, a friend of mine and I left as the rain ceased not to fall and by camp to visit tbe city of Tampa and the next Sundav, July 17, the mud and ballas Point,some nine miles distance. water was bo deep we could nut go Tampa is a large town, built on low down to tlie mess tents without getting Bandy ground.

That medicine is Dr. Pierce’s Favonte Prescription During the past thirty years many thousands of women have used it with marvelous results. It imparts health, vigor, virility, strength and elasticity to the organs that bear tbe bur­ dens of maternity. It fits for wifehood and motherhood Taken during the period of gestation, it makes the coming of baby easy and almost painless. It completely ban­ ishes the pain and misery that are the re­ sult of a woman’s neglecting her womanly health.

You know and we know and everybody else knows, that when a man wante a bang-up fine suit, to tit well, wear well and look well, he has a reputable, up-to-date tailor make it to his meas­ ure. That suit will be in good condition and will look well long after a “hand-me-down" would have been given to the tramps. TLe same thing is just as applicable in every particular to a harness as to a suit of clothes. Let us fit up your team with one of our hand-sewed, made to measure harness and'you will find it neat, strong, stylish and serviceable long after your neighbor’s ready-made factory harness has been relegated to the rubbish heap.

A hard rain packs the ground, the moisture, however, going Into the ground that has been loosened instead of flowing away. Water will evaporate from the ground during warm, dry days, and as the moisture from the surface is lost that from below rises, by capillary attraction, to take its pace. Millions of small tubes are form­ ed, through which the water Is drawn upward, and to prevent tlie loss tbe tubes should be broken off or seeled at the top. This is done when rhe sur­ face soil Is stirred to the depth of an inch, the dry earth serving as a blanket to keep the moisture In the soil. If a shower comes and again dampens the surface the stirring of the soil should be repeated. Ventilation of Barna.

At a reception extended to Postmaster General Mulock at Toronto. Ont., he said a reduction secured by him in Jbe letter rale between Grzat Britain and Canada from 5 to 3 cents would involve a loss in postal revenue of 9750.000 a year.

The “long" man and bis confrere, the "short" fellow, are at it again in Chicago. At 5 o'clock the other morning they went into Matthew Walsh’s saloon, 2t’>2 Clark street, and held up the bartender, David McNamara. They got 930 from the cash register. That done they threat­ ened to kill him if he dared raise an outcry and safely made thrir es­ cape from the place. As they left the sa­ loon McNamara followed them, but they drove him back inside, threatening to shoot. McNamara watched them until they reached Jackson boulevard, when they halted a moment to divide their booty. They then disappeared. The rob­ bers were the first visitors the bartender had after be opened the saloon. They entered as he was turning on the light* and called for drinks. McNamara served them and they left the place. A few mo­ ments later they returned and stood near the cigar counter in the front part of the saloon. Thinking they wanted to buy cigars McNamara went to the cigar case. He was greeted with the sight of two revolver* in the tall man’s bands. "If you say a word we will kill you,” said the man with the weapons; “we want all yuur cash and want it quick. Throw up your hands!" McNamara obeyed, and the short man walked behind the bar and opened the cash register. He took every­ thing it contained, even two receipts.

The police replied with a num­ ber of shot* and a charge on the crowds, dispersing them and resulting in the ar­ rest of Nat Brown and Joe Lee. who are thought to be the ringleaders. For some time there has been a strike on among the plasterers of that city and vicinity for higher wages, but until this occasloo no serious trouble has resulti'd. Turk* Refuse to Withdraw.

This old breecd from lhe County of Ayr, Scotland, needs some one to blow Its horn; the breeders don’t seem Inclined to do It. even when given a special Invitation. The breed seems specially adapted to the northern part BOAR CLKXXA. of our country, as this more nearly re­ sembles its native home. Daniel Web­ ster is said to have kept Ayrshire* on bls farm at Marshfield. Mass., and he recommended them specially for New England. Professor Sheldon divided rhe breed Into two classes, one repre­ senting the butter ■and the other tne cheese type. At the Vermont Experi­ ment Station, In 1895, Rena Myrtle 9530. a farrow cow, made the largest milk and butter record over obtained at the station from a cow of any breed In one year—12,175 pounds of milk, producing 540 pounds of butter. The average production of cheese in Scot­ land Is from 500 to 600 pounds per cow. The secretary of the Ayrshire Breed­ ers’ Association, C. M. Winslow, sums up the qualities of the Ayrshire, by saying that she is noted for vigor, hardihood and for producing a maxi­ mum quantity of good milk from a minimum quantity of food. The aver­ age weight of the cow is about 1,000 pounds. The Ayrshire bull is highly recommended to cross on Jersey cm. In the language of the breeders, the Ayrshire nicks well with the Jersey. The cut represents the Ayrshire cow. Rose Clenna. the property of C. M. Winslow & Son. She has a record of 7,708 pounds of milk and 434 pounds of butter In 365 consecutive days. She took first premium at the Vermont State Fair last year for the largest amount of butter fat from one day's milking. There acre thirteen cows In competition. .

Annexation Committee Decides on a Form of Government and a Name. Senator George Gray of Delaware, who has been appointed the fifth member of the fleece commission, completes that body, which is now ready to begin its work. The personnel of the commission It will be the "Territory of Hawaii." That is. the name which the annexation committee has decided to recommend to -Congress: The form of the government will be modeled on that of existing terri­ tories. Local self government will be given through the extension of the mu­ nicipal idea. The Islands will be divided into municipal districts having control, under restrictions and limitations, of purely local affairs. Hawaii may be di­ vided into two districts and Molokai, Lens! aud Niyhan may be attached to some other municipal district The ques­ tion of territorial legislature has not been fully settled. There will probably be one, but with limited powers. All the attrib­ utes of sovereignty, however, will be exer­ cised by the national government of the United States. The people of Hawaii will be called on to consider themselves Amer­ icans, looking to the national government as the source of national power. The Asparagus Beetle. The asparagus beetle has nearly de­ stroyed the asparagus Industry In some localities^ Many remedies have been suggested, among them applying lime freely over the bed late In the fall, after the tops and bed have been burnt over, with another liberal application of lime In the spring. Some growers claim that, where the rows were hilled up two feet aud the young shoots cut off as soon ns the tips appeared above ground, no damage was done. Cutting the shoots was also continued until quite late. Where shoots were allowed to grow until 2 or 3 inches high before cutting, the beetles attacked them. It may be stated, also, that If all shoots are cut when just appearing the aspar­ agus stalks will be found tender from the tip to the butt, and of much better quality thap when the tops are “green,” and If the rows are hilled the cutting of the shoots ta done with more ease than when the level culture method is practiced. The suggestions given are worthy of consideration by those who have had the beetle to contend with this season. Canker Worm Pea*. The canker worm, known as the measuring worm, Is a nuisance much dreaded by fnHt«rowers, as It feeds not only on apple, plum, cherry aud other fruit trees, but also on the elm and maple. The eggs are deposited In masses of 100 or more, and the parent moth lays In the fall as well as Id spring. Spraying with parts green Is the remedy. JUDGE COOLEY DEAD. SENATOR GRAY.

That suit will be in good condition and will look well long after a “hand-me-down” would have been given to the tramps. The same tiling is just as applicable in every particular to a harness as to a suit of clothes. Let us fit up your team with one of our hand-sewed, made to measure harness and you will find it neat, strong, stylish and serviceable long after your neighbor’s ready-made factory harness has been relegated to the rubbish heap. Hundreds of our old customers will testify to the absolute truth of the above in their own cases. Witt te held at GRAND RAPIDS SEPT. 26, 27, 28, 29 and 30. A V WEST VERMONTVILLE. Mrs. 8. E.

Bodies were buried in trenches. Thousands are starving or be­ ing’fed at the public expense.

Three large ships were blown ashore on the Windward const, aud many smaller vessels are stranded in ahoais and on rocks where they were either blowu by the hurricane or washed by the tidal wave. An estimate places the number killed on the Island of Barbados at 200. Tremendous rains and the tidal wave caused numerous landslides, in which houses, bridges and coroa estates were destroyed. The total estimated loss of life on nil the Islmuls is 531. and the loss of property aggregates millions.' UNITED STATES TO KEEP THE WHOLE ISLAND.

No hard and faat rules will be laid down for lhe commiasion. Cuba and Porto Rico will not t»e subjects of negotiation except incidental­ ly. They were disposed of by the armis­ tice. and the future government of Cuba will be established by the United States without reference to Hpnuteh Jetnaqda or wishes. The Philippine question will only l>e open to jMirtial negotiation. Ma­ nila bay, with the capital of the island, Cavite, and the Corregidor I stands, must remain absolutely nn the property .of the United States. Nearly^ two weeks will elapse before* the date for the meeting of the joint com­ mission In Paris, and it may take two weeks more for the commfarion to arrange preliminaries and get down lo business. In thnt four weeks the situation may change radically. Intervening events may lead the President to demand nil the isl­ ands in the Philippine group. American sentiment or foreign intervention may force tbe issne. A statement attributed to Gen. Wheeler aroused much excitement in Washington. He is alleged to have said the President expected Spain to reCnse to surrender the Philipiiines and that hostilities might fol­ low. An inquiry developed thnt the seri­ ous condition nt the Philippines is appre­ ciated in lx>th army nnd navy circles and prepnratio'ns to meet any obstruction to the American policy are being made with alacrity.

Liston, Tennessee, Sep. 17, 18B8. Editor Neu's: When 1 lyft Michigan two year* ago I promised many acquaintances who were interested in the subject to in­ form them occasionally of the progress of my venture in looking up a home in a new and untried country, and to give them the benefit of my observa­ tions. When I left Michigan, 1 rather intended to locate in the vicinity of Chattanoga. but was uncertain which route I would take to reach there; whetlxer by the way of Knoxville or Nashville. I chose the former route, but did not go any further south lhau Knoxville, deciding for various sea­ sons, to go back to the little village of Cumberland Gap, where the educa­ tional advantage* were good and work p'enty for the time being. We sjxmt a yesu’ there, found beautiful scenery, ,the best of water, good schools And pleasant people; but we never felt that we could be satisfied to make a ]>ermanent home in such a rough country or invite our farmer friends to settle there. I wrote you a description of th« country while’ there last September. We started off on an­ other tour of investigation, the boys and myself driving across the country with tbe covered wagon. We catne through southern Kentucky as far a* Bowling Green, then south into Tennessee aud finally located 12 miles north of the city of Nashville. Per­ haps familiar name had an attraction in making my sboice of location. I have now spent nearly a year4 here and feel that I can give a pretty fair and impartial description of the ■ountry. immediately surrounding me. its climate, soil, crops', prices of land and other point* of interest to those contemplating a change of loca­ tion. The exposition at Nashville last year brought that city so thor­ oughly before the public chat I need give no description of it and will only speak of it as a market town.

Both men are dead. For some time there had been a feud between the two men. When the boat was tied up at Hugs' tending, one mile from Creston, Mo., the quarrel be­ tween tbe watchman and tbe mate broke out afresh. The former attacked the mate with a knife. For some time the struggle tasted, both participant* rolling about the deck, to the horror of the pas­ sengers. who were unable to interfere. Finally, when the mate, who had been cut in numerous places, was about to give up. he succeeded in pulling his revolver. With a well-directed shot he laid the watchman low. Btepheu Hugs, the pro­ prietor of the tending, went up town for on officer and returned with Deputy Cor•oncr Bell.

Tile present enlisted strength of the navy U a little over 10.000. This in­ crease I* not as great «•< some of the naval authorities believe will be necessary in view of the augmented service. It is, of course, the intention of the department to retain n targe number «»f vessels at League Island in reserve, and far this pur­ pose a comparatively small cttltated force will be sufficient to ke<-p the vessels in re­ pair and in condition for service at any time. Still, there is a feeling that the navy shoukl have a trained force which would be available in time of emergency without calling upon so many volunteer* and making use of such a targe number of enlisted men who tack discipline. The sentiment in Congress in favor of n larger navy u a strong one. and some of the offi­ cers are disappointed that-Secretary Ixmg has not decided to ire-sent estimates for fully 25,(KX) or 30.999 men. t An old colored man named Virgil Blue was at tbe War Department the other day to inquire oboUTtwo son*, one in tix* Tenth cavalry and the other iu the Twen­ ty-fourth infantry, who were both wound­ ed before KanC-igo. and was greatly re­ joiced to hear that they had fully recov­ ered anil were with their regiments.

THE Fi*nrc« on Telephone Baalnsss-Barr Oak Hauk Creditor* May Get Tan Per Cent—-Clergyman Expelled for Falsehood - Educator Kill* BimaelL There are sow thirty-one telephone companies in the State where there waa but one ten years ago. The telephone companies paid >41.086.78 in taxes thia year, the appraised valuation being >1,369,500. The Michigan-Bell Telephone Co. paid >20,858-32. the Detroit Co.. >6.460.02, and the Citisens* Co. of Grand Rapid*, >2,586.83, aud the American Tel­ ephone and Telegraph Co.. >1.630.37. The telephone companies are kicking on the amount of taxes which they are required to pay and the Legislature may be naked to furnish them some relief from what they claim is an excessive rate. It is claimed that not only is the "rate of taxa­ tion too high, hut their properties are val­ ued too high by the State board making the appraisement, the earning power of a telephone pole or a mile of telephone wire being much less than that of telegraph companies, which art assessed at the same figure. Burr Oak Failure a Bad One. Assignee Himebough of the Parsons bank in Burr Oak has made a statement that the creditors of the bnnk would in all probability receive 10 cents on the dol­ lar. A party of women went to Parsons’ residence and said if they could get hold of him they would hang him. Parsons is still in bed and they were kept out of the house. The cash in the vgulta was count­ ed and it was found that there was >250 on hand, although from >12,000 to >13,000 had been deposited in the bank a few days previous to the failure. Parsons’ son kept the books of the bank and was cash­ ier, but Parsons kept bis own private books himself. These private books have not been posted for six months and it is impossible to tell anything about them. One More Black Sheep. The Michigan M.

The death rate was 12.5 per 1,000 population, as -*omI wired with 11.3 in the preceding meuth.

The pictures speak for them­ selves. It only need be said that both these strains of this remarkable breed are to be found tired to perfection by several of our Canadian breeders, whose skill has kept up the style and material value of the race. It Is one of the curious examples of the differences which will gradually grow out of the personality of breeders. each of whom has a different ideal that these two strains should have acquired from the starting point, a distinct type. which was certainly as distinct from each of these as each Is from tbe other; and which may still remain in the memory of an expert who may not have only In mind what he saw a good many years ago. It Is thus that races change under the influence of skillful culture, or may deteriorate under continued neglect.— Montreal Herald. Getting Rid of Ants. C. H.

Too much land la expensive if It Is net kept In good condition, as the taxes thereon will be an expense which must always be met. But few farms are well supplied with manure, atxl the resutt is tlrat the land Is not adequately furnished with plunrt food. Nothing Is gained by spreading thfi manure neccasary for five acres over ten times tbat area, for the smaller the yield the greater tbe expense of growing a crop In proportion to n-celpta.

Dowaaer Empresi Su|)rctuc and Propoaed Reform* Are IrnpnaUble. An imperial edict issued at Pekin nnBounces that the EtujHTor has abdicated in favor of the dowager einprras. The hitter has ordered that henceforth the minitrters rtmll deliver tbeir official re­ port* to her. The edict aayn. the Em­ peror three times* requested the Enipresw to reaamtme the government, and that idle yielded at the third request. It is* diffi­ cult tn khins accurately what is happen­ ing in the pnUce.. There it little doubt that the reform edicts led to the deposi­ tion cf the Emperor. The Dowager Etnpreaa was content to let' the Emperor alone bo long as he waa merely a figure­ head. but when he initiated tor sanctioned a policy tbat was opposed to her views she compelled him to abdicate. Numerous rumors are in circulation, some of which are alarming. One report hn* It that the Dowager Hntpreaa is ac­ tuated by the determination to liaiile Mar­ quis Ito. the Japanese statesman, who. it wm understood, visited Pekin for the purpose of arranging an offensive aud de­ fensive alliance between China and Japan. When the BImpertsr received Mar­ quis "Ito in audience the other day he showed him great honor, and expressed the hope that he would give advice re­ specting the proposed reforms. Another report says that violent scenes occurred between the Dowager Empress and the Emperor in the Tsung-E-Yanien. The Empress is believed to be greatly incensed by Russia's passivity and by the degrada­ tion of Li Hung Chang, and is now court­ ing Russia with all her might. ’ Mm Flo Jamison-Miller la Youngest the ('ricanizatlon Has Ever Had.

Tbe strike of tbe laborers in Faria has extended to nearly all the building trades, and it is feared the railroad men will Join in tbe movement. Work on 1he ex­ hibition buildings and underground mil­ road has completely ceased. About 60.000 meu hare gone on strike, and the situa­ tion is causing consternation. The atti­ tude of the strikers is increasingly aggres­ sive. and fights between strikers and socalled "black-legs” are incessant. Involv­ ing tHc intervention of the |>oiice, troop* and mounted republican guards, who have been obliged to repeatedly charge the strikers. The quarters in which rioting has taken place arc patrolled by strong detachments of police and tntops. There are great apprehensions lest the agitation turn the strike movement to political ends. WOMAN STRANGLED IN DENVER. Mr*. Voght, n Clairvoyant. Fouad Dead, in Iler Apartment*. Mrs. Julius Vo£ht. a clairvoyant aud medium, was-found dead in her apart­ ments <>n Champa street, Denver. She lay on the floor, face downward. A twist­ ed towel wo* tied tightly around her neck and there is no doubt that she bad been strangled to death. There is no clew to tbe murderer, but thejpolice believe that the deed was committed by the same strangler who murdered three women on Market street in that city iu 1S94. Short­ ly after these murders Mrs. Voght in­ formed the police officials that spirits had given her. while she was in a trance, a description of tbe strangler, but he had never been discovered. It is thought the murderer of Mrs. Voght either believed she did know something or he was also a believer in "spirits” and decided to put her out.of the way and possibly save him■elf from exposure. . BOGUS BILLS ON LARGE SCALE. Silver Certificates of $1OO CountcrIt is said that United States secret-ser­ vice officers. aided by Chief Lees, have discovered that targe numbers of counter­ feit $100 silver certificates hare been produced in San Francisco. The opera­ tors are reported to be under police sun ▼eillauce. The Call asserts that 5.000 of these spurious bells were sent into the Klondike district. They.are readily ex­ changed for gold dust and their falsity was not discovered until the returning miners tried to pass them in Portland. The paper is said to be of government nuke, as are also the various inks, with the exception of that with which the number is printed. This is of an ordinary quality and cannot withstand the action GARC1A ON HIS TOUR. Agent of the United Ftate* to Induce Cubans to Disarm.

Government Makes an Important Change in Pomtal Regulations. The Postoffice Department has made an important change in the money order laws, whereby the postoffice can be used by patrons ns a savings bank in places where there are no banks. The change is made by ameudtag section 1246 of the postal laws and regulations so as to read as follows: "A money aider may be drawn upon the office at which it is Issued, provided such office be not a ’limited money order office.’ The advice of a money order so draty.n. until payment is made or until the order has become invalidated by age (more than one year having elapsed since the last day of the month of issue), should be filed among the.unpaid advices, the same as if received from another post­ office. • STILL BRINGING GOLD. Half a Million. The steamer Fastnet has arrived at Vancouver. B. C., from Skaguay with half a million in dust and with .news that a million more was on the wharf when the Fastnet left. There will be but one mure boat out from Dawson, the Columbia, which will bring down a large amount of treasure. The principal owners of the gold on tbe Fastnet are H. M. Kersey, general manager of the Yukon Steamship Company. $50,000 in nuggets, for exhibi­ tion purposes; J. B. Rhodes of Portland, $4X1.000 in dn*t; W. Caldwell of Portland, $80,000 in dust; Edouard Lncson. $100,­ 000 in dnst; J. Sinclair of Vancouver, $25,000 in dust, and there was some $50,­ ,000 divided among passengers. A mystery has been solved and a sensa­ tion spoiled by the finding in Chicago of a lad who disappeared nearly two years ago, and who, it was claimed, had been mur­ dered. Oct. 30. 1896, Harry Goldberg, aged 12 years, un adopted son of Samuel Goldberg, disappeared from Lapqrte, Ind,, and from that time until a few days ago his whereabouts were unknown. Harry was a prime favorite In the neighborhood of his home, and when weeks i*ossed and the boy was not seen the neighbors made inquiries of the family as to his where­ abouts. The Goldbergs are aud always have been reticent, aud they simply re­ plied that they did not know. Thinking that perhaps he had gone away to work somewhere, the neighbors paid no more attention to the mutter. Some weeks ago the subject was again brought before their notice in a rumor that the boy had been murdered. An investigation by the au­ thorities was begun and was still in pro­ gress when the information came that Harry hud been found alive and well in Chicago. The finding of the boy was the result of a search instituted by Mrs. Gold­ berg. who never believed him dead, aud who hud been untiring in her efforts to locate him, It appears that the young fel­ low left^nis home to seek employment. He drifted from town to town and finally landed in Chicago. He was at work when found. EXOOUS SHORTLY TO OCCUR FROM ST. LOUIS. Colored Missionary Will Lend a Party ■ louarlcs, to Hia Country—Sawmill Completely Destroyed by Explosion. Robert Tagoe has organised a colony cf fifty-one negroes of St. Louis, who will go with .him to Liberia. He has also formed a baud of missionaries to go.to Africa with the settlers. Fifteen years ago Tagoe was the heir apparent to the throne of a cannibal nation on the west coast of Africa; to-day he is annotating sinners iu a gas lit tent at tbe corner of Twenty-second and Locust streets. St. Louis, and casting out devils and disease in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Miss Minnie Bryan, an intelligent daughter of Kentucky, 22 years old. who has been doing gospel work iu St. I^ouis, and Robert Tainah, un ex-waiter at the Mercantile Club, are two of the missionaries. The missionawies arc all white except Tagoe aud his wife, whom he married iu St. Donis twelve years ago. Tagoe is as black as midnight. He speaks English with a marked French accent. He Is also master of German, Greek and Latin, besides three African dialects. In his native .country, Ashuntec. he wore a single garment thrown about bis ebony shoulders with the ends dangling below the waist. In America he wears a black Prince Albert coat, plaid trousers, white shirt, standing collar aud black bow tie. ”1 desire to Christianize my nation and to place good homes within the reach of dis­ tressed negroes of America. The two aims can be pursued jointly to advan­ tage,” said Tagoe. THIEF MAKES A BIG HAUL. Unlocks a Bunk Vault and Get* Away Molson’s Bank iu Winnipeg, Man., has been rubbed of $62,000 within the last few days. The vault was entered by working the combinations and not tbe slightest in­ jury was done to the locks nor to any other part of the building. Tbe money in the vault was in two boxes, one being known as tbe teller’s box and the other as the treasury box. It is the latter that was taken, the teller’s box, containing the cash used in the ordinary daily transactions, not being disturbed. In order to reach the treasury box it was necessary to work two combinations, only one of which wax known to any one man. The bank offi­ cials decline to say anything, but a tele­ gram from Montreal states that Mr. Thomas, general manager of the Molson banks, confirms the report of the robbery. He was notified that $62,(MX) had been takdn. Of this amount $25,000 was in nou-negotiable notes, so that $37,000 is the real loss to the bank. Mr. Phepoe, manager of the Winnipeg branch; was away ou his holiday. There have been uo arrests yet. Two Killed, Three Hurt. A fatal boiler explosion occurred at the sawmill of Liberty & Lee, six miles from Verdi, Nev., In which two lives were lost and three penon* seriously injured. The entire plant was completely destroyed and not a fragment of the boiler wns to Im* found. The explosion was caused by the engineer allowing the boiler to run dry and attempting to fill it with cold water. view of trade, say: "Failures in Septem­ ber hove been about $6,700.00U, and for the quarter about $22375.000. The re­ turns Indicate a smaller aggregate of fail­ ures, thau in auy other month in many years, except in August of this year, and xmnllcr for the quarter than in any other quarter since 1892. In fact, excepting one quarter in that year, uo other appears to have shown a smaller aggregate unless, more than ten years ago, when tbe volume of solvent business was very much smaller ‘than it is now. Evidently the complete returns will show that tbe state of busi­ ness is in that respect more satisfactory that it hns ever beeu, unless In one quar­ ter of 1802.” FATAL FIRE IN A MINE. Four Men Overcome by Smoke and Quickly Snffocated. A ;»ortion of tbe Midvale, Pa., mine of the Ixtaigh Valley Coal Company caught fire and four.of tbe men In the workings were suffocated. The fire originated iu the second lift in what is known as the Buckley,or Kiney vein. It is supposed that the timbers caught fire from u min­ er’s lamp, but the cause of the fire is not positively known. In the section of tbe mine where the fire broke out there are about 100 men employed. All the men had gone to work, and as soon as the alarm of fire was given they made a rush to escape. All but four succeeded in get­ ting safely out. Tbe victims are Peter Craig, a miner; Joseph Brady, a miner; and Michael Toniso and John Dorak, la­ borers. Wholesale Tennessee Killing. A tragedy occurred in the north portion of Cnntion County. Tenm. in which five men are reported to have been savagely assassinated. John Hollingsworth killed a mau of the name of Higgius in that county over a year ago. A suit was brought against Hollingsworth and a judgment taken against him by the mem­ bers of tbe Higgins family for $5,000. The other day there was to be an auction sale of his property to satisfy this judg­ ment and Hollingsworth, It is stated, knowing that that was the day of sale, concealed himself and several of his friends in n large barn where the sale was to take place. When the party attempted to carry out the proceedings Hollings­ worth and his friends fired into them with double-barreled shotguns, killing four men and wounding another so badly that he will hardly recover. A telephone mes­ sage received from Woodbury, Cannon County, states that Hollingsworth has been shot and severely wounded. Attempt* to Kill Hl* Wife.

Few iu the vast crowd could bear the words spoken by Miss Lei­ ter. but nearly all were able to see her, and when she raised the boule of wine in her hand and dashed it against the steel of the battleship, tbe action was a signal for their enthusiasm to break forth with full force. There wns a groaning from the timbers, the ground trembled ax the thousands of tons of steel shot downward and the spray that was sent aloft arose higher than the platform oti which stood the little woman who had named the new craft. Shriek­ ing whistles aud a volume of applause which swept over the vast throng like a tidal wave of sound greeted the ship as It gracefully floated out into the stream.

Dispatches from Washington, Ind., state that 150 miners from Pana arrived there and routed the negro miners, who were compelled to leave the city at the point of revolvers. One negro who refused to go was fired upon, nud it is said was killed. Masks were woni by the miners, and the police of U’nshington were unable to ar­ rest any of them, although a fire alarm was sent in and a number of citizens were sworn in as deputy sheriffs. The strikers visited every bouse in the city occupied by the negroes, who were brought from Kentucky a year ago, and the blacks wt-re lined up, and then com­ menced a march west on the Baltimore aud Ohio Southwestern tracks. Upon reaching White River, Winchesters were pointed ut negroes aud they were giv­ en orders never to return to Washington; that If they did they would meet with more severe treatment tbe next time. A crowd of armed strikers risked the Cabel Company mines with the Intention of cap­ turing the negroes who dwell in a shack near.the mines, but the negroes had evi­ dently been notified of their coming aud «nade their escape.

A consignment of 200 guns and 100 re­ volvers has been received by the miners' organization and hidden away. The pro­ vost guard is still on duty patrolling the streets. Rciwrts that 150 more AlaIwimn oegroee were on their way there caused more 1»<1 feeling among the min­ ers, and many threats were made.

According to reports from Paris, theAmerican and Spanish peace commissioners are dangerously far apart on the questious at issue. Some French diplomats who have conversed with both the Spanish and American members even assert that unless one side or the other backs down on material points the war is evidently not over. The Americans may yet have to sustain their demands with a uaval demoustralion. The position taken by Spain is believed to account for a desire to keep Blanco in Cuba ns lung ns possible. With bis largs army he could seriously embarrass tbe United States should negotiations be decloved off. French influence, however, which is very pofent in Madrid, is that Sjtaniards shall accept the inevitable and be reasonable. Frenchmen arc indignant at their Span­ ish friends for having logriied so little from their defeat. It has been repeatedly suggested to the Spanish commissioners during the last few days that n frank con­ fession of helplessness and an appeal to the magnanimity of the victors would se­ cure for Spain the most liberal passible terms. But the Spanish leaders rejected the suggestions ns absurd. The Spanish drmands'nre stated to be substamtally as follows: "Nothing beyond a port aud a coaling station in the Philip­ pines to be ceded to the United States. A favored tariff in all of the lost territory for Spanish textiles. The power whose sovereignty prevails ut Manila to bear the entire Philippine debt and part nf the isl­ ands to remain with Spain, which islands may be sold to auy other power.

Canton, Ohio, is in a state of great ex­ citement over the murder of George D. Saxtou, the brother of Mrs.McKinley, the President’s wife. Mrs. Anna C. George was arrested on suspicion of being the murderess. Saxton was shot down short­ ly after dark by a woman in front of the house of Mrs. Era B. Althouse, a friend of Saxton, and a widow.-who not long ago instituted i>eacc proceedings against Mrs. George, alleging that she hud threatened her with violence and death. Saxton’s lifeless body was found prostrate on the ground, with three bullet wounds in iL Neighbors’ descriptions of the woman who shot Saxton tallied with thnt of Mrs. George. She is a tall, graceful woman, more than ordinarily good looking, .and not yet middle aged. Saxton wns one of the successful busi­ ness men of Canton, nnd was possessed of considerable property. He wns 50 years old. The murder is »n|*posed to be the outcome of trouble of long standing’be­ tween Saxton and tbe George family, growing out of the former’s relations witu Jim.

In a number of oth­ er am Mrs. George was plaintiff against Saxton, and she several times created scenes in the Saxton block, in which offi­ cers were obliged to interfere.

It is stated now that-here­ tofore the Spanish Government has wait­ ed upon the United States Government to make each of the steps towards final peace before toaking a move on their side, so that this sudden change in policy la accounted for-only on the ground stated. There Is beside this apparent purpose a veiled threat iu the lust instruction, not under any circumstances to allow the United States to interfere with any dispo­ sition of the islands outside of those re­ tained by the United States, such as Lu­ zon, that Spain may see fit to make. This is believed to be an invitation to some of the continental powers to step forward in support of Spain in this extremity in the hope of receiving as a quid pro quo some •f the Philippines as a coaling or naval itation.

The Preai­ dent will not formulate the organization ot th? new department until the peace commission bos-determined tbe final dis­ position of tbe Philippines. The colonial office would have charge of the civil gov­ ernment, the judiciary and the financial administration of Porto Rico, the Ha­ waiian Islands, Cuba, tbe Philippines and of the island of Guam in tbe Ladrones.

CHAPTER I. Tbe night wns calm, clear and beautiful; th* moonlight jwnring down in one unciottded and unbroken stream was turn­ ing Jxiuchenter into a city of silver.

Somewhat out of harmony with the fair pure light was the blaze of gns lighting up the entrance to thgjufadpnl theater of the city, from Whlcli a crowded audience was pouring out into the moonlit Btrects. Round the stage door « group of half a dozen “sapere" were lounging, talking of the play and the crowded house, and ven­ turing the prediction that Mr. Morris would "make a good thing of it" this tour. But their voice* Ceased suddenly as a tali young man came hastily out of tbe door round which they wore gathered, and, with'a hurried and general "Good-night,” passt'd rapidly down the street. ‘That is Mr. Robson," remarked one of the loiterer#, as he glanced"after the tall, slight figure striding a way. so swiftly. “Mrs. Orde .sent to beg him to go to her as soon u* the ptay was over; she’s dy’ng. the messenger raid.” “Dying? You don't mean that!” ex­ claimed another, in a tone of shocked sur­ prise. "Why, she acted lasti night!" * “And broke a blood vessel after the last act, just ub the curtain fell," said the first •peaker, shaking bis head gloomily. "She will.never act again—you may xake my word tor that!" Stella Orde would never act apt in. the man bad said; and the word* were true. It needed no experience to tell that to Mark Robson, as he entered the room where iche lay, tn answer to n Hummons which had been sent to him at the theater —a summons which surprised him not a little, for their friendship was but of a few weeks’ standing. “She has been wearying for you radly, air,” the landlady said, as she opened the door for him; "and she won’t last out tbe night.” He followed her up a narrow carpeted staircase -to the first floor, and into a sit­ ting room separated from the adjoining apartment by folding doors. "Wait here for a moment." she raid; and the young man waited in the sitting room, while she passed into the bedroom. After a minute or two the landlady came out again. "She seems hardly conscious, sir," she •aid, huskily. "Will you wait a little while, or will you call again?” "Perhaps I had bc'tter wait,” he an­ swered, hesitatingly. ’'There might not “It would be best; The nurae is with her. She will call you, if you will wait here.” To Mark Robson there was a strange, drcam-like unreality about the whole scene. Among her fellow actors and ac.tresscs Stella Orde had many older friends who would have made any sacrifice to ■■soothe her dying hours; but in this her -extremity she had sent for him. who was - comparatively a stranger—a young mon, ■too. hardly more than a Ind. forail his tall stature and budding mustache. It wan very strange, unspeakably strange! After awhile, he moved from his scat, and, going to the window, drew back the curtain* nnd looked out into the quiet street. Suddenly, shrill and distinct. a <*11 rose on the stillnera, n name spoken in a tone of agonized entreaty, which made the young actor start back with n :pa!e and startled face nnd an expression ■of surprise and something like terror in his eyes. He listened intently for. a mo­ ment; but the word was not repeated; and. with a trembling hand, he pushed his thick dark hair back from bis forehead. "I must have been mistaken." he mut­ tered. “How absurd! 1 thought she said ----- Pshaw! Ah, the excitement of the past few <lays hns upset me!

He moved nearer to the window, then •topped short with the same startled look •f terror on-bis face, for onee more the try was repeated, and. for all its faint­ ness. the voice reached his cars. “Newell—oh. Newell!" it said. A moment’s hesitation, as if he were uncertain what was best to be done, and the young man, with a hurried, noiseless •top, crossed the room, and. passing through’ the open doors, stood just within them, grave and silent. The nurse, sit­ ting by the bedside, glanced up at him and put her finger to her lips to enforce si­ lence: and he inclined his head mechan­ ically as his eye* rested on the little white bed. To the last day of hia life Mark Robson will never ^prget the two face* which lay side by side on the pillows—one that of a child, who was sleeping softly nnd sweetly in the dreamless sleep of child­ hood. with flushed cheeks and parted scar­ let Ups. aud short, ruflldn. dark curls; the other that of a woman, sleeping, too, but £a no untroubled slumber, for the golden hair lay damp on the white forehead, while the restless movements aud flutter­ ing* spoke plainly of fever and unrest. “Did she speak?" Mark whispered. softly. ••She wanders, poor soul. Oh, Slowly the reddened eyelids were rais­ ed. and two blue ryes, bright with a •trange. feverish brightness, stared straight at Mark's tall figure standing •rar the open doorway. For b moment •be seemed not to recognise him, and a immediately by a faiut gleam of reeognitid. faintly. “You ■down,’" the rick woman went on hurried­ ly; aud Mark obeyed, drawing hit chair FANNY DAVENPORT. “Mr. James Francis is bis father's sec­ ret ary, sir.” . “Mr. James Francis?’ repeated Mark, standing for a moment with an cxpyvssian of deep and painful thought upon his brow; then he raised bis bead, and, meetIng the other's inquiring look, raid, with a slight smile, “I was wondering if I had had nny previous aequaintauee with Mr. James Francis; but be Is, I believe, a stranger to me nnd 1 to him. I am ready now,’ if you please." Tbe room* into which tbe clerk ushered Mark Robson was a large apartment well lighted. The occupants of tbe room were two. One, a tall, white-haired gentleman, dressed with extreme punctiliousneos, but in an old-fashioned style, stood leaning against the mantelpiece. Tbe other was seated before one of the tables, aud hia loose tweed suit nnd open collar were as different from hi* father's scrupulously buttoned broadcloth as his short, rather stout figure and round, pleasant fact were from the old lawyer's severely regular features , and dignified appearance. But it was at the younger -man thnt Mark Hodson looked first with » sharp, anarching look, aud, when he averted his gray eyes, it waa with a faint, quickly stifled sigh of relief. “Mr. Robson?’ tbe old lAwyer said, looking toward the spot where Mark stood. Mark bowed. The old men walk­ ed away quietly from tbe fire nnd sat down at the table, moving easily and fear­ lessly, and evidently quite aware of the place which Mark, who hnd seated him­ self, occupied in the room. "I hare been hoping and expecting to hear from you, Mr. Robson." he said in a quiet, pleasant voice, "but I was begin­ ning to fear that my advertisement would be fruitless.” “I saw it only this morning," Mark responded. “You have lost no time, then." “We provincial actors do. not Indulge in the luxury of the Times.” Robson return­ ed, with a slight laugh; “and I venture to hope thnt, after a lapse of ten years, the delay of ten short days will not be of any material consequence." Tbe old lawyer’s thin lips closed more firmly. (To be continued.* Built of Spectacle Frames. A home constructed of spectacle frames wns taken’possession of not very long ago, and confiscated as stolen property. The manager of the busi­ ness establishment of n firm of op­ ticians In Bombay found that a number of gold, silver and steel spectacle frames had disappeared. His first thought, naturally, wns that some of the work­ men had stolen them, and orders were given that none but himself should en­ ter the room where they wore, stored. Notwithstanding this precaution the spectacle frames continued to disap­ pear, and the manager was nt a loss to account for the thefts. But one day, while attending to his work, he was* startled by the sound of flapping wings, and looking toward the window, he dis­ covered the thief. Thia was do other than a crow, which, when it had picked up a frame in its beak, flow away In the direction of a building used by another business firm. Permission having l>een obtained, the roof of this building was searched, and It wns found that with Its stolen prop­ erty the bird chad constructed for Itself a singularly Ingenious and beautiful nest. So cleverly had the. gold and sil­ ver frames l>een woven in. and so glit­ tering a ^ructure had they made, that It was decided to keep the nest Intact for a time, and before the materials were taken apart the nest was photo­ graphed. Iu all. eighty-four frames had been used by the builder, nnd the value of the nest was about $250. Tenacity of JLi-feTo go about the usual affeftrs of Its dally existence minus a head, would appear to be a rather unsatisfactory business, but this is precisely what certain Insects seem capable of doing. Experiments have beta made with com­ mon house flies, with the curious re­ sult that thirty-six hours after decapi­ tation the bodies were seemingly As lively ns ever. The bodies of butter­ flies have lived eighteen days after the heads were cut off. On the other hand, the beads soon lose all signs of vitality, rarely showing any Indications of con­ sciousness after six hours. Whether the spinal cord and column do not ex­ tend above the shoulders of these In­ sects, or whether there Is some error in tbe theory thnt the severance of the spinal cord is fatal, would seem to be debatable ground.

It Is probably a fact that no variety of fowls has so quickly and so com­ pletely taken captive the heart of the practical ftouitry keepers as have tbe White Wyandot/. They are encroach­ ing upon the popularity of the Barred 1'lyniuuth Rock, which for a decade has been the most popular breed of poultry, by far. in the list. Tbe reason for the high estimation In which tbe Wyandot Is held Is not fnr to see. In the first place, it has a splendid market form and Is, moreover, a most excellent lay- One of the most Important things in harvesting fruit Is to have a good sup­ lily of ladders. The modem methods of pruning trees do not require the long and Inconvenient ladders that were for­ merly used by leaning them tTgainst the tree and picking the fruit from the out­ side. This always hud the effect of destroying many small limbs aud strip­ ping the bark from larger ones where tbe ladder rested. Light, self-support­ ing ladders that can be set under trees, so that the picker need not climb through them, are what are needed. The*, saving iu fruit by picking from these self-supporting ladders will repay their cost any year when the fruit crop Is abundant. The Beat Pays Neat. A Canadian dairy farmer found out what the Babcock test would do for him. He had twenty-four cows and two hired men. He tested the cofirs and found thnt eight of them did not pay for their keep. He disposed of the eight and one hired num. At the end of the year beTound be had made ns much money as when he hnd kept tbe twentyfour cows nnd two hired num. He re­ duced his herd still further to twelve first-class animals, nnd from them ex­ pects to get as much Income ns he used to get from the twenty-four. er. The fowls are quiet nnd the hens make excellent mothers.—in fact, they cannot be excelled in this respect. When wanted for market, the Wyandot Is always plump and fat, and this Is a condition, too, that is true of them at almost any time after they are ten weeks old.

FRENCHMEN lhe Vesuvius, the greatest volcano In tbe world, is again in eruption, belching forth great masses of fire and molten lava, which threaten destruction to the city of Naples. Nine new craters have formed within the pant week around the central crater. The smoke, in a brownish yellow cloud, overhands the mountain like a great pall. Tlie lava torrent is half a mile in width and divides into three principal streams, each seventy to eighty yards wide. These as they pour down the moun­ tain aid? subdivide into numerous smaller streams, carrying death to everything liv­ ing, aud advancing at the rate of forty yards on hour. ' Lava in a volume of a thousand tons a minute pours out of tbe volcano. It has filled Vetrana valley, a deep ravine. Tbe ashes lie several inches deep for n long distance down the ^idea of the mountain nnd in the adjacent villages. At night tbe volcano ia splendidly awful. The crater belches forth a flame, which rends the pall of smoke, reaches to the heavens, and at times takes on the colors of the rainbow. The lighta are reflected in the broad wat­ ers of the Bay of Naples, the loveliest in the world. Tremblings of the earth nnd subterra­ nean explosions precede the outpourings ot lava, and the wells on the mountain sides are beginning to dry up. A great stream of lava threatcss to overwhelm tbe observatory built on that part of tbe vol­ cano known as Monte Contaronl. Thia observatory is on n hill 2,200 feet above tbe sea level. Thia observatory wns es­ tablished for the purpose of giving warn­ ing of all eruptions to those living on tbe mountain. Vesuvius is eight miles from Naples, whose bay it overlooks, at the eastern extreinixy of a chain extending to the island of Ischia. It is believed that the whole gulf of Naples was once an immense cra­ ter, the northern end of a great rent in the earth’s crust, Aetna being the south­ ern end and Stromboli about the middle. At its l«5se Vesuvius is thirty miles in cir­ cumference. . Its height varies after its eruptions, but the average is about 4,000 feet. Its great crater is some 2,000 feet in diameter and about 500 feet deep. W‘LL CHRISTEN 1 HE WISCONSIN Honor la Given Mi»« Elizabeth Ste­ phenson of Marinette.

I know the Spaniards hnve come prepared to make concessions; bpt, if the Ameri­ cans’ instructions are of an uncompromis­ ing nature, which Is generally believed to lie the case, you can rest assured that the work of tbe commission will be futile.

She raised her dim eye* to his face, nnd a slight perception of what this or­ deal was to him flashed upon her. Even in that moment a strange sense of tbe value of what she was losing touched her and made her trembling fingers close with a closer clinging clasp upon the hand which held hers, and her head sank until her brow rested on tbe clasped hands. “Barbara," he whispered again, with a yearning in his voice, which he could not repress—“my little Barbara!" “Oh, Mark, keep me—don't let me go!” the girl cried, feeling vaguely the price­ less value of the love which had never failed her: and for a moment a wild, de­ lirious longing filled him—but it was only for a moment. “Dear, it is best,” ho said soothingly. “Ah, Mrs. Claveriug.” he added lightly, tis the door opened and thut lady entered, "have you come to tell us tea is ready?

With one glance at the beautiful bowed bead he turned away and left them, passing out of the house into the fast fading light of the dying day. CHAPTER V. A group of people were standing on the. platform at the station of Stourton, a large town in the Midlands, looking after the down train, from which they bad just alighted, as It strained slowly away. There had been some delay in removing their luggage from tbe van, and the task had only been just completed when the train glided ont of the station, while a middle-aged, grave-looking individual counted the trunks and imperials which tbe porters were placing upon trucks. Besides the servants, of whom there were several—footmen in livery, a lady's maid with an important looking jewel case, and a French valet—the party con­ sisted of three gentlemen, of whom one was old and two were young, and a young lady, a tall girl dressed in gray, with a gray gauze veil twisted round her hat and tied under her chin, who, apparently in­ different to her surroundings, stood hold­ ing a great bunch of roses in her gloved hands. A servant in livery, hurriedly crossing the platform, approached the shorter and darker of the two young men, and ad­ dressed him in some haste and with evi­ dent trepidation. The old gentleman, who had turned to leave tbe station with his companions, stopped testily: “What is it. Sinclair?” he asked, in a cold, clear, incisive voice. “There has been some mistake about the carriage, my lord," the young man answered, turning to him respectfully. “It is not here yet."

I fear that Mrs. Fairfax has made some mis­ take about the hour.” Lord Elsdale knitted his brow angrily, and glanced under bis thick, white eye­ brows at the lady in gray, as if to inquire what she thought of the contretemps. She had taken no apparent heed of what had passed between the earl's secretary and the footman; but her proud, fair face had lost some of its Indifference, and she was smiling slightly at something the young man beside her was saying. “It is hardly likely that Mrs. Fairfax has made any mistake,” Lord Elsdale said curtly. “It is very strange! Barbara, do you hear this? It seems that there are no carriages here from tbe castle. It is most incomprehensible!” "No carriages!” the girl repeated, her brows contracting. ’That is strange!" “Perhaps there has been a strike in the stables.” said the tall, fair man. laugh­ ingly. “I wonder if I can lie of any as­ sistance?

"Will you come into the.waiting room, Barbara?” She gave a pretty mock shudder as the question fell upon her ears. . “Oh. please, no. Uncle Norman, the sta­ tion is bad enough. The very thought of the waiting room is unbearable. We should be stifled there." "You will be choked with dust here," observed Lord Elsdale. "It la the lesser of the two evils," she responded laughingly: “but we need pot detain you. lx»rd Keith," she added de­ murely, as her unde turned away, and, putting his hand on the arm of his private secretary, began sauntering slowly up the platform. “I>etain'me!" the young man echoed, ■with a glance of-tender reproach. “You wlH not be cruel enough to dismiss me af­ ter being cruel enough to refuse me the pleasure of driving you to the ensile?" "It is out.of your way." she said. "Out of my way! Firholme is two miles further on!" he exclaimed, eagerly.

A faint warmth flushed her checks, and she bent her face slightly toward the roses she carried. “I was so long at school, you know, nnd since then we have been abroad,” she re­ plied. in an indifferent tone, when she. looked up again. "Even now I hardly look forward with any pleasure to my visit | there. Uncle Norman win feel bis return, I think. Elsdale is so full of sad mem­ ories for him." (To be continued.) .

The expected tragedy at Virden, III., was enacted Wednesday. A fra hi Load of negro miners who were brought to Virden to take the places of the men who were on strike wa* met by a mob of strikers,’ variously estimated at from fire hundred to fifteen hundred, and a battle ensued, in which many were killed or wounded. The striking^miners had been awaiting the coming of the negroes for several days. They hare been armed during all of that time and hjtve paraded the streets of the town, openly avowing their pur­ pose to prevent the negroes from landing. The tragedy is the result of a determin­ ed effort on the part of the Chicago-Vir­ den Coal Company to employ negro min­ ers brought from Alabama to take the places of miners on a strike. The strik­ ers were equally determined nnd both aides sought to win by force of arms. It was rfiortiy after noon when the CAUSE OF THE MINERS’ STRIKE. trouble began.

The coal miners' strike, which has had such a sanguinary culmination at Virden, was begun last April. The miners insist­ ed on a acnle of wages adopted nt the miners' national convention nt Columbus. The operatora refused the terms demand­ ed. and the miners offered to leave the matter to arbitration. This the operators refused to consider, and when the State Board of Arbitration went to 1’atpi for the purpose of settling She difficulty, if possi­ ble. tbe operator* declined to join in the investigation. Then the lockout began. In August the operators grew tired of the situation nnd undertook to 1511 the strik­ ers' places with imported negroes, nnd since that time Tnna has been In a state of siege. Sheriffs have guarded the ne­ groes. who have been working liehind stockade*. The Penwell and Springside mines were protected with stockades and the negroes were safe behind them. When­ ever an imported miner appeared in the streets he was roughly treated. " Everywhere, according to a Virden re­ port. sentiment is’ against the mine own­ ers. It is the general opinion that the miners have won a victory, though at a terrible price. Miner# stood guard at the stockades, and the Chicago and Alton tracks all of Wednesday night, fearful that an attempt would be made to bring the special with the imported miners on board back from Springfield. The min­ ers claim that the first shot was fired from the train by a guard. A miner fired a shot into the air as the train approached the town, as a signal for tbe miners to assemble and resist the landing of the ne­ groes. Adjutant General Reece, in command of the soldi?™, said he had unmistakable orders from Goy.

Mr. Alger says the Santiago campaign was necessitated by the presence of Ad­ miral Cervera’s fleet in Santiago harbor, but it had previously been contemplated. The immediate destruction of Cerrera's fleet wa* necessary, and the co-operation of the military force was hastened by the receipt of a telegram from Admiral Samp­ son on June 7, in which he Mated that on the previous day he had bombardAl ohd quickly silenced the fort# at Santiago, and that if 10,000 mem were there dty and fleet could be captured in forty-eight hours.

MAKKET QUOTATIONS. ===== M’KINLEY AT OMAHA PRESIDENT 15 WELCOMED WITH ENTHUSIASM. Through w catcrn State Two hundred thousand citizens of tbe tra’hsmiszour; region welcomed President McKinley to the Omaha peace jubilee. The enthusiasm of-the greeting wttsflror* thy of the great West and the President of tbe republic. President McKinley was profoundly impressed with the magnitude of the demonstration. He Mid as much in words and more in actions, for he made no effort to conceal his pleasure. From the time the special bearing the distinguished guest passed into tbe city until the Presi­ dent entered his quarters for repose an hour liter be received a continual oration. Ail ideas of confining the delighted peo­ ple to tbe curbstones was abandoned be­ fore the presidential party entered, and as it proceeded through- tbe streets in ve­ hicles the acclaiming multitude touched the very wheels of the carriage* and goodnaturedly elbowed for room m which to raise and wave flags and other emblems of a national nature. It was a few minutes past 9 o’clock when the headlight of the presidential spe­ cial glistened on the great bridge separat­ ing Nebraska and Iowa. The thousands surrounding the station greeted rhe ap­ pearance of tbe locomotive with shouts prolonged. Tbe steam whistles and bells of the city took up tbe acclaim nnd for a few minutes the whole city resounded with a perfect medley of discordant sounds. President McKinley was ready to alight almost ns tbe train came to a halt, und before the platoon of police could press back the crowd which closed around the presidential special. The member* of the reception committee boarded the train In Council Bluffs und to them the Presi­ dent remarked upon the ease of the jour­ ney. adding:' “Such a welcome would make any one forget the fatigue of a thousand such journeys.” Scarcely bad greetings been exchanged when the army and navy special arrived. The two trains had crossed tbe State practically as two sections, running tbe last 100 miles almost in sight of each oth­ er. As the occupants of tbe two trains mingled on the platform the reception committee assigned the visitors to car­ riages, and the procession moved toward tbe center of the eity.» President McKin­ ley. Mayor Frank E. Moores of Omaha and President Wattles of the exposition occupied the front carriages, and other* spread out for a distance of several hun­ dred yards. King Ak-Sar-Ben and 500 of his knights, composing the secret eutertnirrmennorgunization uf Omnha, acted as escorts to the President. They formed a cavalcade that added much tu the beauty of the procession. The Ak-Sar-Bea knights formed into platoons as outriders, escorting each carriage In fours. Thus the procession passed north on Tenth street to Farnam and west on Far­ nam to the city hall, where the distin­ guished guests alighted to witness the fes­ tivities of tbe evening. Every turn of the wheels gave the President new surprise's as to the magnitude and enthusiasm of Omaha’s peace jubilee crowd. Tbe mvaleade only tried to Jceep the jubilant crowds back six feet from the carriages of the chief executive and his party, but even this was futile, and the vehicles were im­ peded in tbeir progress by the weight of human bodies. When the army chiefs' vehicle passed the shouts and wild ac­ claim of the crowd was scarcely lef« than that with which the President was grectCROWDS ALONG THE WAY. Ovation Given the President by Peo­ ple of Illinois and lows. Wherever the presidential trait! stopped in Illinois and Town the JemoMtratSon* were enthusiastic beyond precedent. At the stations through which the trains rushed at full •‘l^ the enthusiasm was not less evident, but the people were com­ pelled to content themselves with n cheer and were rewarded by a wave of the band. The presidential train arrived iu Chi­ cago about 7 o’clock in the morning over the Pennsylvania road and was swung around to the Chicago and Northwestern , by the belt line. The engine which pulled the presidential train out uf Chicago was one of the most powerful ever made, and was bedecket! with tings und bunting un­ til it looked like a triumphal car. The Pn*aNent*q journey through Illi­ nois and Iowa was a ctmBuuuus ovation. The fln-t »-op made at Dekalb, and here the President spoke a few words iu responee to the crowd's enthusiatriic wel­ come. At Clinton. Iowa, a great crowd wa* at the station when President MrKinley’s train rolled in. Senator Allison joined the presidential party here. The President appeared on the rear platform and was received with trememlous cheers. The President !<<t the train for the finrt time at Cedar Rapids. A platform elab­ orately decorated stood near the track, and from here Mr. McKinley delivered an ■<ldrt«R which brought cheers from 10,009 lusty throats. .

All Washington in laughing .it tltc fdight of several government clerks. It has been . tbe custom of the heads of departments to let off clerks who may have relative* in regiments passing through town so that they may have a chance to exchange greetings with the soldier boys. This privilege has been considerably abused, but there seemed to be no way of stop­ ping it except to refuse k-ave to clerks zxking it for thejxirpose mentioned. I>ast Saturday the Tenth Cava&y (colored^ spent tbe day In Washington. Notice was sent around through the departments that clerk* having relative* in the regiment would be allowed time to see them. A good many white clerks, possibly forty or fifty altogether, remembered that they had brothers, cousins or fathers in tbe Tenth, and were given leave of absence to visit their heroes. Imagine the amaze­ ment and-chagrin of the Caucasians who had played it low down on Uncle Sam in order to steal a few hours for pleasure to discover that the boya of the Tenth were black, most of them very black. The commissioners to Paris and the commission that is investigating the armyare both to be paid out of the general ap­ propriation for carrying on the war. A liberal allowance was made iu the last army bill, to be expended at the discretion of tiie President, for unforeseen contin­ gencies, and both the investigating and peace commissions answer that drorription. The investigators will receive $20 a day iu lieu of salary, hotel bills and in­ cidents] expenses, and are not required to rernjer accounts. Tbeir traveling ex­ penses are also paid. The compensation for the peace commissioners has not been fixed, and will not be until they have completed their labors. All of their hotel bills and other ordinary expenses will be paid by Mr. Brannagan, the disbursing officer of the State department who ac­ companied the party, but each commis­ sioner is expected to supply his own pock­ et money. It is probable that a lump sum will be paid each of them when they return to the United States. That waa the case with the members of the Geneva arbitration in 1871 and the Paris arbi­ tration in 1893. Few soldiers in the field will enjoy the privilege of casting their .ballot* at the next election. In the absence of a na­ tional law the State law will prevail, and •here are few States on’ Whose, statute books are laws granting this privilege. Politicians at both the Democratic and Republican headquarters have been ap­ pealed to by a large number of regiment* to secure furloughs to enable them tn vote. The politicians arc helpless, however, be­ cause the matter lies between the War Department and the regiments. Unless' the War Department grants the soldier* furloughs in many instance* they will lose their votes. leaders of both parries are consoling themselves with the fact that the soldiers are about equaUy divid­ ed a* to politics, and as nothing enn Im* done to relieve Jhe situation they are turning their attention to matter* nearer home. With the exception of New Orleans, all the principal cities show a healthy'in­ crease in postal receipts during the past year. New York leads the list with a net increase over last year of $386,438.45. Chicago follows with a net Increase of 503,454.27. and then follow Philadel­ phia with $163,152.67; Boston with $134.­ 040.11; Brooklyn with $133,343.63: St. Louis with $120,882.69. und Baltimore with $98,169.60 increase. Kansas City, Mo., had an increased revenue of $92,­ 052.30 and Washington. I). C.. led such cities as Milwaukee, St. Paul, New Or­ leans, Rochester. Newark, N. J., Denver, and Providence with n not increase of $44,962.93. New Orleans reported a def­ icit over last year’s receipts of $l,."')3.08. The adminixtrntjon will recommend to Congress the revival of the grade of ad­ miral, and the promotion to that rank of Rear Admiral George Dewey, now in romnmnd of the Asiatic station. Secretary Long made the positive announcement that be intended to rvconnnend that (he grade of admiral be revived, nnd that rank be conferred on Rear Admiral Dewey. The President indorses the Secretary. According to the report of the Hurgeon general of the navy, the men-of-wnr of the United States were the healthiest places in all the world last summer, Ixjth afloat and ashore. In the entire nary, of about 24,000 men. there were only wghtyCour caaualtiea. Including accidents nnd everything, and of these only seventeen resulted in death. Secretary Huy has settled down at once to the discharge of the many duties of bis new post. Already have application* for office begun to pour in upon him, but the Secretary finds upon exari^nation that there are no positions in his department within his disposal under the law. Mr. Simon, the new Senator from Ore-' gon, is a Jew. and the third of his race to hold a seat in the Senate. The first wra Judah P. Benjamin'of Louisiana, the next was Mr. Moses of the same State.

A bit of old WESTERN TRIP Dispatches from ralmonth give detail* of the wreck of rhe steamer Mohegan off tbe Manacles, where she ran aground and broke up in the heavy so*. She struck heavily, tearing a great bole in her' bot­ tom, and slid off Into deep water and al­ most immediately foundered.

The lifeboat from Falmonth found, four­ teen of the crew alive on the rocks and took them off. They were nearly exhaust­ ed.

Wyatt was an agent for the Michigan Portrait Co., of Lansing, which is at present deliv­ ering about tSOO worth of portraits in this vicinity, and solicited many of the orders which are now being de­ livered. Among others he took an order from Mr. Quick for two por­ traits, on which Mr. Quick paid <2.00 in advance. When Mr. Boyer, who is, we understand, the Michigan Por­ trait Co., came to deliver the pictures Tuesday, Mr. Quick refused to accept them on account of some misunder­ standing, and as Boyer would not re­ fund the <2.00 advance payment, Quick caused Wyatt's arrest as above. In the mean time, Wyatt had left the employ of the Michigan Portrait Co., and gone into business on his own ac­ count.

HILL ROSE THROUGH VARIOUS GRADES. the Nation's Railroad Kina* and Twenty-five Times a MillionaireSome of His Characteristics. ' For many years In the Northwest they have regarded James J. Hill as the embodiment of success and a great railroad king. Men who have'worked for Jim Hill say he is a “holy terror." His •bjurgntlons (his father had cut him . out out for a Presbyterian minister) are more profuse and horror-inspiring than those of the moat profane pirate that ever lived. He Is tireless and he expects everyone else to be so also. He Is accuracy Itself and be tolerates no slipshod business whatever. His .mem­ ory Is all embracing and minute, and he abhors a man who cannot recollect. He won't have anyone around him who la not personally to his liking, no mat- ter bow efficient the man may be. Some Great Northern employes say he would rather discharge a man than eat, and they have to count hoses at the main office and all along the line every day to see “who's alive.” James J. Hill began to work for him­ self when he was 15 years old. He left school to go to work In a country store tn tbe little Ontario village of Rock­ wood, and In the intervals of weigh­ ing out groceries be read Caesar, and dreamed that some day be would be a great soldier or a great literary man. Now, at the age tot GO, he finds that fate baa made him a millionaire' railroad man. His fleets pf merchant steamers have blackened the skies over the'great lakes with their smoke, and his rail­ roads hare reached out from the In­ land seas to the Pacific. agent of the Northwestern Oornpttuy aud known as one of the solid bualnesa men. of St. Paul. Now be Is GO—and n mau cannot l>e said to be old Mr. Hill has a house In Kt. Paul wMch cost him half a million to build. Tbe house, the grounds, the greenboasea, etc., and the works of art which tbe house contains are. said to be altogether worth nearly* two millions. The paint­ ings alone in lhe bouse are .valued at over $100,000. When Mr, HID built bls bouse in St. Paul he gave at the same time $500,000 to found a college for tbeeducatlou of Catholic priests. About eight miles out of 8t. Paul Mr. Hill has a summer home which is complete in its equipments, and where he spends with his family the hot months. Hill saw more clearly than any one else In St Paul that the Northwest must develop tremendously, and that the way to win great wealth most rap­ idly was to go Into the transportation business, He wasn’t yet ready to be­ gin railroading, but he did the next best thing. He started the famous line of Red River carts between St. Cloud, at the head of Mississippi navigation, and Pembina, away up to the north­ west. on the Red River of the north, near the Canadian border. For a time he ran a line of steamers on the Red River In connection with the carts, and thus forced the powerful Hudson Bay Company to divide Its trade with him. Something that no one else has ever done unless It was the first John Jacob Astor. ' , When he-became manager of the St. Paul & Pacific Railroad he set out to learn and did learn the entire work­ ings of the business. The strain was heavy upon bls health, but he made the railroad pay from the start. Then he set about extending his own road to the great Western ocean. Hav­ ing reorganized the St. Paul & Pacific as the St. Paul, Minneapolis & Mani­ toba. he set out In the winter by him­ self, with three or four dogs as his only companions, to explore the route to the Pacific which he meant to follow. His outfit included only the dogs, a small canoe, a sled, two or three boxes of sausage, coffee, hardtack, camp cook­ ing utensils and a rifle. He kept his bearings by the sun and compass by day and the north star and compass by night. As much of his rpute was through territory ]>eopled by hostile Indians, he often slept In the light and traveled tn the darkness. Sometimes he lay to for a few hours in a cave dug by himself in the snow. He supple­ mented his packed provisions by what game he could shoot. When he couldn’t shoot anything he would melt snow in his camp kettle, make coffee and get When he was 18 years old Mr. Hill took his Caesar and what little money he had saved and started out to seek -his fortune. He began tn New Eng'•land and went west until he arrived al St. Paul, then a town of 5,000 In­ habitants. There be stopped and there he has remained and grown rich. He found not only fortune and power, but his wife In St. Paul. When he got bls first Job there and was employed about the docks of the line of Mississippi steamers known as tbe "Diamond Jo Line," he saw an Irish damsel of beauty and brains whose, sweet and womanly qualities at once attracted him. He still believed that some day he was to achieve fame, the dreams of martial glory or literary renown haunt- along on coffee, sausage and hardtack. Sometimes he would walk, sometimes rlde’on his sled hulled by the dogs and sometimes navigate the streams with his canoe. He rode horseback over some stretches, procuring saddle ani­ mals as best he could. The open air and exercise of that memorable trip made a new man of him, and when It was finished he bad found a peerless route for bls road. When Hill had his road roughly laid out he sent civil engineers over the route, put 10,000 men grading and lay­ ing track, aud built tbe whole line with hardly a break at a rate of not far from a mile a day. Such a thing was never done before and never will be done again. Hill In politics has always been a Democrat and Is a groat admirer of Cleveland. He is said to be worth $25,­ 000,000. Besides bis railroads he has a fine line -of lake steamers. His stock farm contains 4,000 acres. He owns many sections of land in various States. He Is Interested In several New York financial Institutions. He has done all he set out to do and Bygood deal more, and bls career Is apparently not yet closed, by a good many yearx.

The graciousness of her manner, her keen knowledge of affairs, her quick perception and engaging con­ versational powers made her popular among all classes. Mme. Carnot was tbe daughter of a distinguished French lawyer, and her maiden name was Dupont White. When her husband was elected Presi­ dent of the republic they lived In apart­ ments that rented for only $2,000 a year, and they left that homo with great reluctance. Their four children were educated In music and literature, and in no home in France were the do­ mestic virtues better cultivated. As mistress of the Elyaee Palace, the home of France’s chief executive, she was a brilliant success. Her dinners and receptions were regarded with de­ light by diplomats and other distin­ guished persons present She was a woman of charming taste and one of the best dressed women In France. The assassination of her husband by the anarchist Santo at Lyons, June 24, * , 1804. was a crushing blow, but she bore up bravely for the sake of her children and the republic. Although a grandmother, she preserved her beau­ tiful youthful appearance to the last.

That would consti­ tute a majority of tbe commission, re­ gardless'of the attitude of Senator Cul­ lom and Mr. Hitt,- the other two Ameri­ cans. Believing the cards to be thus stacked against her, she concluded to ig­ nore the commiaalon entirely and fay her claim before Congress direct. The Dole people hold that she has no standing what­ ever nnd no rights In the premises which this Government is bound to respect. The thirteenth annual report of Carroll D.

The oat Is, of course, the best grain for colts, as it Is also for the horse. It does not take much oats or meal to keep a young cok thriftily growing during It* first winter. .If oats and corn are ground together, without’ the cob, and some wheat bran is added, It will, in most cases, moke a better ration fed with cut hay than could be got from feeding oats alone. No corn and cob meal should be fed to young colts, or, In fact, to any young animal. The cob is extremely hard to digest, and at Jeast for all young stock has not enough nu­ trition to compensate for the danger from using it Halt the Manure Heap. Salt In tbe manure heaps will prove beneficial. As kainit contains a large proportion of salt and also a percent­ age of crude sulphate of potash, it may be mixed with the manure by turning the heap over, care being taken that nil portions of the manure l»e sprinkled with the kalnIL It prevents loss of ammonia to a certain extent, and adds potash to the manure, while salt at­ tracts moisture and serves as an aid to prevent "fire-fanglng” of the manure. Whenever manure Is turned over die coarse materials should be placed in the center In order that, the}' may be more quickly decomposed. A great many fences are of no use as barriers, because they surround lots tliat are never pastured. It was on one such that years ago we Raw a farmer trying to train a grape vine and make a trellis of It. Of course all the work of cultivating the vine which was planted in the corner of an old worm fence had to be done by hand with spade and hoe. But the experiment succeeded until the fence rotted under the mass of vines which covered it. Then the farmer was obliged to build a trellis for his vine, which he might bat­ ter have done at first—Exchange. Report* from tbe wheat fields of North Dakota ami Manitoba are of the moil dwcouraging character. It hn» |*»en either raining or allowing for nine days. In Manitoba only about 8,000.000 Iraabvh of wheat of a crop of 26,000,000 bushels has been thrashed, nnd the balance, standing In stacks and shocks, is threatened with destruction. Farmers almost despair of saving the balance of these crop*. The barley aud oat crops are also all out iu tbe fields. The rain and anow throughout the Red river valley nnd North Dakota caught .many of the farmers with'their grain unthrasbed, and the present prospect is that much of it will .remain in the stack until spring. This is especially the ease in the interior township* and localities at a dis­ tance from the railways nnd village*. Just what the lot* will be it is impossible to estimate, but it is safe to say that the greater portion of that which remains in die shock throughout the winter will be of little value except for fodder. Samples of wheat brought to Minneapo­ lis which had been exposed* to the rain were so thoroughly bleached and swollen ns to rroemble the Washington nnd Ore­ gon product. Such grain will have to be dried out and cleaned before Its value con be determined.' The estimates on the utunber of bushel* thus affected in Mani­ toba is 7.000.000. On the same baste 10,­ 000,000. to 15,000.000 bushel* would be damaged in tbe Red river valley and North Dakota, and tbe total loss may amount to several million dollars. The bad weather has very materially af­ fected the general movement of the crop. Farmers are unable to. come to market, •nd the elevator men cannot handk- the crop egpedlHonsly. Many of the mills in the Northwest are running day and night, and the stock on band lias been considera­ bly reduced. All in all the Northwestern crop has largely deteriorated from tbe early estimates. TORPEDO-BOAT KILLS SEVEN. Rcault* in Explosion. Seven men were killed by an explosion on the torpedo boat Davis, which waa making her official trial trip on the Colum­ bia river Thursday. Tbe accident occur­ red near Sknmokawa, about seventy-five miles from Portland, Ore. The Davis started from Walker’s island to run two hours at a minimum speed of twenty-tvfo knots. Everything went well until Skamokawa was reached. Sudden­ ly an explosion occurred nnd tbe engine room was filled with boiling water and stenm, enveloping the men at work iu there. A river' steamer happened along just after thg neeidebt. The Davis’ pas­ sengers ami the killed were transferred to her and she towed the disabled torpedo boat to Astoria.

Referring to the accompanying en­ graving. it will be observed that, on the top bar of the gate, a roller Is Journaled which Is engaged by an inclined rod fulcrumed at its lower end on a fixed support set at a proper distance front the hinge-post A weight Is held on the rod and can be fastened in any desired position by means of a set screw. To prevent the rod from leaving the roller when opening and closing the gate, the bracket in which the roller is journaled is provided with a loop. When the gate is swung open the free end of the rod travels over the friction roller and assumes nearly a vertical position. As soon as the gate 1* releas­ ed. the weight of the rod pressing against the roller close* the gate. By changing the position of the weight, the gate can be closed with more or less force. Select the seed corn while tbe stalks are standing In the field. Much can be done by selection- Over 100 bushels of corn were raised on an acre In Nel­ son County, Va.. by a former member of Congress by selection of seed. Some •talks contained from five to seven ears,, and grew to a height of fourteen feet. Thia may appear remarkable, and may not 1»e repeated, but it shows that in older to secure th? largest yields the seed corn must be selected every year until tbe variety I* made better. The turnip crop is so hardy that light frosts not only do not kill tbe leaves, but possibly by destroying weeds that have before interfered with their growth, they seem often to make th? turnips grow faster.

The affair which is commonly believed to have led to tbe tragedy began six years ago, when Mrs. Annie George moved to Canton and opened a dressmaking estabHshment in the block owned by Saxton. She was attractive of face and had a be­ witching form. Her husband was an hon­ est, industrious man, who furnished a shabby contrast to the polish of Saxton. The dressmaker and her landlord were soon on friendly terms. The gossip* used their name* a good deal and finally Mrs. George went to Dakota anti secured a di­ vorce from her husband. She always said —and few disbelieved her statement—that Saxton paid the expenses, and, further­ more, that he was going to marry her ulti­ mately. When the husband learned that he had become a domestic has-been by decreb of a Dakota court, he brought suit against Saxton for 530.000 for alienating his wife’s affections. This suit was com­ promised when Saxton paid George $1,­ 825. Meanwhile Saxton and Mr*. George had had trouble. They finally got to quarrel­ ing‘over rents and articles of furniture and the cases wore aired in the local courts of Canton. Then Mrs. George be­ gan to say that she would get revenge; tiiat Saxton bpd promised to marry her and that—so it is said by one or two per­ sons—«he would kill him if he did not do so. She carried her threat* further and recently was arrested upon a charge made by Mr*. Eva B. Althouse. a friend of Saxton, that she had threatened violence and death to Mrs. Akhonse. Tbe evening of the tragedy, shortly af­ ter dark, Saxtofi rodeqon his bicycle from hi* place of busitK-xs to the home of Mrs. Althouse, on Lincoln nvenue.

By Lottie delayed Lord Eladale'* horses on their road from the castle, and it was but a short quarter of an hour that Barbara Hatton had been detained at Stourton Station; yet that trifling accident and the short delay ft caused changed her whole life in the time to come. ' CHAPTER V.-—(Continued.) They had reached the end of tbe plat­ form by this time, passing the earl and his companion on the way. The latter glanced at them quickly, then averted his eyes as quickly, and a slight angry look crossed bis face. Yet they were a handaome couple, pleasant to look upon nnd ■well suited to each other—Lord Keith tall, atalw&rt, graceful, in his tweed traveling «uit; the girl slender and charming in her simple gray gown; and, if they were mot agreeable in Mr. Sinclair'* sight, many an admiring glance followed them, as they sauntered slowly up and down, the ;young man’s head bent low toward Mis* Hatton’s, bls blue eye* rarely leaving her beautiful profile.. "My poor rose*?' said Mis* Hntton soft­ ly. "They are drooping for want of wat­ er. the poor, pretty things! Are they not fragrant?” "Very fragrant; but I am inclined to be Jealous of them.” answered the young xnan, significantly. “Jealous of them—why?"—in a tone of surprise. "As to what?” “A* to—forgive me—the donor of your She turned her eyes to his face with a •quick look of questioning surprise.

"Then I have been grateful to the wrong Iverson all the day. The roses have been •uch a pleasure to me! Are you sure you •did ndt send them. Lord Keith?’ "Quite sure. Who brought them to yon?” “They were on the table of the saloon,” «he replied slowly. "Some one had left ■them there for me." A quick, angry flush came into the blue -eyes aga^.n. and Lord tKelth bit hi* lip with vexation. "Whoever sent them, I am very grate­ ful," she said, and raised the roses again to her face, inhaling their fragrance and sweetness. “It was someone who know* tny tastes well,” she added, smiling. “I lore rows." Lord Keith’s blue eye* darkened with annoyance; he who was so anxious to please her, ought to hare remembered that also. "What a strange group that is yonder." lie observed, with an effort, but speaking in his usual light tone; “and how unmis­ takably their profession is stamped upon them.” "What group?’ Barbara asked, rather languidly. She was beginning to weary of the grimy railway station and all her pretty culor hud faded. "That group to the left of those uumrroua imperials in which you keep tbe soiled gloves and tumbled dresses which are the only remnants of a London season," he answered, laughingly. "Do you we them —four men and three women?’ . "Yes, 1 see them,” she replied, glancing at them with a look of indifferent dis­ dain, a* if tbe somewhat shabbily attired group were beneath her not ire. "To what prnfeaaion do you suppose they belong?’ "The dramatic,'/ he answered, "without the smallest doubt" "I wonder if we are to remain here all night?" Barbara said impatiently, break­ ing in upon his speech. "It is too provok- CHAPTER VL For two year* Lord Elsdale and hto niece had traveled in foreign lands, and at the end of that time they had returned to England. Mis* Hatton had been pre­ sented, and had made her debut iu the great world of rank and fashion, where she had at once taken her place a* a queen of beauty, and received a* much homage and adulation^* even she conld wish. Tbe toufh of mystery surrounding her early life added to Barbara Hatton’s suc­ cess in society. Thus the girl was receiv­ ed with gpen arms in Ixmdon society; and in her triumphs she" forgot that these things had not been always hers. That she. Lord Elsdaie’* heiress, clad in purple and fine linen, should have .once owed her daily bread to charity wns a thought that, when it came to her—which was but rare­ ly-made h?r cheeks burn like fire, and the heavy black lashes droop over the proud dark eye*. And yet the thought had been with her daring the past night; and in the darkness she had hidden her face in the cambric and lace of her pil­ lows, ashamed to her inmo«t soul of the base disloyalty’of which she felt herself guilty. The shamed thought had lingered with her during her toilet that morning, and ft had made her even more’ distant than was her wont to her maid as she dressed her; and through all her reserve she had vaguely wondered what the woman wonld *ay if *he knew that her mistress was the child of a provincial actreaa— such a woman perhaps as the painted women she bad seen at Stourton Station on the preceding day. But in the stately old hall, rarrounded by so many signs of greatness and wealth, these thought* vanished; all her old di*dnin and languor returned, the pretty head wa* reared even more proudly than usual as she stood at the ftwt of the great staircase in her white gown, the old Flem­ ish lace at her neck stirred- by the quick­ ened beating of her heart. As she stood in the subdued light of the great hall—upon the marble floor of which, here and there, large bear-skin rugs were thrown—subdued even on a summer sun­ lit day. and almost somber now that the side* without were lowering and overcast, her uncle’s secretary came toward her. "His lordship will be engaged until mid­ day,” he said, speaking with the slight constraint which was always noticeable in hi* manner to his employer’* beautiful niece; "but he wished me to say that Mrs. Fairfax will attend you, if you care to go over the castle." "Thank you; I will send for her,” Miss Hatton returned, quietly. Mrs. Fairfax, with admiration express­ ing itself in every glance of her kindly eyes, on every feature of her homely face, was delighted to be the first to introduce Miss Hatton to the beanties of her old home. From the great hall they passed the drawingroom, with its silver moldings nnd maize-satin hangings and the priceless treasure* of art ia its cabinets, and next into the dining room, with its antique gold and silver plate nnd Limoges bowl* and dishes, and tbe many lesser sitting rooms and boudoirs; and then they went up to the picture gallery, fating with deadand-gone Hattons, whose eye* seemed to follow the beautiful girl who moved slow­ ly down between them, pausing here and there as some picturetl face struck her. And she paused and lingered before the portrait of a fair-haired, gray-eyed girl clad in the ghining satin and filmy laee of her wedding dress. "How beautiful!” Barbara exclaimed eagerly; and Mrs, Fairfax gave I -r a kindly glanpe as she told her that the por­ trait was that of the present earl’s first wife, who had died at her son’s birth. "It must have been a terrible blow to Uncle Norman." Barbara observed. “His lordship never really recovered from It, Miss Barbara,” Mr*. Fairfax said, somewhat tremulously. "For many year* the sight of the poor young lerd was unbearable to him. Indeed I some time* think that be never felt like a fath­ er to him until they brought him home dead." "Ah, that was terrible^ said Barbara, with a catch in her breath. "He- met with an accident, did he not?’ "He was killed in a railway accident. Miss Hatton.” “Will you tell me about it, Mrs. Fair­ fax? 1 know so little of the family histoey. I* it true that he and my uncle were not on very good terms just then?’ "It is true, I am sorry to ray. Miss Barbara.” "And was the cause of the quarrel a girl in the village?” "I have undendood so. Miss Barbara.” "Who was she?" "The village achoolmaster'* daughter.” Barbara elevated her brows, while her lip curled with a alight touch of disdain. "Wa* she »o very beautiful?’ she ask­ ed. negligently. Mrs. Fairfax looked at the girl'* face before her ere she answered: "She wa* not beautiful—she wa* very pretty. Mis* Barbara.” “And he wa* really in love with her?’ “He thought he was, ma’am.” Mr*. Fairfax answered gravely, wishing thia imperious young lady would cease tbe questioning which revived such sad mem­ ories: it pained the kindly woman who bad loved him to touch on the unhappy story. “It was just an infatuation, Miss Barbara looked round. The train had come into the station, two or three pas­ sengers had alighted, and mo»t of the peo­ ple assembled on the platform hurried toward the carriages. Among the hur­ rying groups was that which had at­ tracted Lord Keith's.atteution. Barbara looked at them, and a contemptuous ex­ pression crossed her face a* She watched the showily dressed, slovenly women, who seemed just then to exercise a strange fas­ cination for her. “Hallo—where's Robson?" one of tbe party asked, baiting just beside her. "He’ll miss the train! Where did be go?’ "Into the waiting room,” the pretty, yellow haired girl answered as she went on swiftly. “Ah, there he to!” Tbe train wa* a full one. and there was some difficulty in finding places. Bar­ bara Hatton stood motionless, holding her roses to her lip*. Suddenly the flowers fell from her hand on to the dusty plat­ form. She made no movement to pick them up. but stood staring helplessly be­ fore her. Lord Keith's attention wa a oc­ cupied by a poor woman whom he was assisting with kindly courtesy to find a •seat for herself and her little child, and in another moment tbe ro*e* might have been trampled under foot had not a gentle­ man, Id passing, lifted them, and, with-a alight l*aw, placed them in Mtaa Hatton's trembling hand. Their eye* met for a moment as her lip* murmured a vjrord of thanks. When, a minute later. Lord Keith re­ turned 10 her side. Barbara's face was colorie**; and. when he bent toward her hurriedly, asking if she were Hl, she look­ ed st him with blind, unseeing ryes, then roused herself with a little start. "111? No; there is nothing tbe matter "Tell me all about it, Mra. Fairfax. I with me; but I am tired—and I* that tbe carriage? Oh, I am *o glad?’ "There is but little to tell.

Is that the principal theater at Stourton?’ "Yes," Mias Courtenay answered, quick­ ly—she was iodking at Barbara now. and seemed more at her case—"the largest.

"No. We have been at Elsdale only a short time," Barbara answered. "Bray tell me what is it you wish me to do?1 Miss Courtenay's wandering gray eyes rested for a moment on Barbara’s face. “My mother was an actress," she said slowly; "but she cannot act now; she is an invalid and dependent upon me, and—" She paused, still looking at Miss Hat­ ton, who Was very pale, and whose hand, as.she replaced her cup on the gypsy ta­ ble near her, waa a trifle unsteady. “You want me to help you?’ Barbara finished for her.

Lady Bose Parley, merrily. "1 hope it is not poetry. Barbara, my dear, have you any objection? None? Then pray pro­ ceed, Captain Adhms; we arc all most eagerly attentive." Lord Keith had moved half round on the music stool, letting one hand still lin­ ger oh the keys as he turned his face to­ ward Captain Adams. Lady Rose had as­ sumed an attitude of comically subdued attention. Bar tiara had come nearer also, and stood with her fan unfurled, the soft lamplight gleaming upon the great pearls sbout her throat, and the silver threads in the folds of her gown. From her chair near the hearth Blanche Herrick looked nt her with an angry glitter in her blue eyes, and even in her jealous pein she could not deny the wondrous beauty of the girl who bad supplanted her. With a slight tremor in his voice, the young officer read rhe paragraph which had excited his enthusiasm. It was an account of an almost everyday occurrence which had been raised from the common­ place by a brilliant display of heroism. The reporter of the Stourton Evening Star had had his soul stirred within him by the brave deeds be had witnessed, and in words,eloquent from their simplicity he described the fire which had broken out in a many-storied house in one of the densely populated poorer part* of the city, a Louse in the upper rooms of which children -were shut up during the day by the fathers and mothers whose labors aa bread-winners kept them out and forced them to leave their little ones alone for many long houra. Graphically the para­ graph described the thronging people, the fierce flames, the little, terrified faces at the upper window, the hysterical swoon­ ing of mother, the father dazed and help­ less with misery in tbe crowd below. De­ liverance seemed impossible. And then what even the brave firemen dared not do on« man in the crowd bad done. An ae tor. Mark Robson, had forced hia way through tbe volumes of dense smoke to the room in which the children were, whither he had been led by the whining of a fai&ful little dog. The reporter went on to relate how Mark Robson had, at the risk of hia life, saved the children, and then how, not­ withstanding entreaties and veinonstrances, bunted, suffering, half stifled as he was. he had again risked his life with reckless gallantry to rescue the faithful little animal, and bad staggered with him in his arms from th- burning Etrildiog, to fall insensible in the street. Captain Adams’ voice was very hui(ky as he concluded bis reading. The groups at the other end of the room, who had not been listening, were laughing and chatting. Ixtrd Keith’s face was grave and moved as he turned to the piano; Lady Rose’s bright dark eyes were dim with tears. Barbara stood, her face rigid and colorless, her lips parted, staring straight before her with a fixed, unseeing gaze; then suddenly a groat trembling seized He-, her hands fell helplessly at her aide, the heavy white lids drooped, the room seemed to turn round and round, there was a sound of rushing water in he* CHAPTER VII.—(Continued.)

United State* Positively Declines to Tolerate Any More Jockeying—Span­ iards Must Harry Oat of Cuba and Pay Cuban Debt-Debate to Stop. Spanish sovereignty In Cuba must end forever with the advent of the new year, and all Spanish soldiers must be out of the Island by Jan. 1, aceordlng to an ultima­ tum that was cabled to Madrid Tuesday. All of the Spanish troops that remain In Cuba after the date named will be subject to the regulation of the American army. This question and several others of equal importance were finally decided at an informal ‘cabinet meeting, which was attended by President McKinley, Secre­ taries Long. Alger and Hay, and Attorney General Griggs, which was followed by the dispatch of warm messages to Madrid and Paris. The United States will take possession of Cuba on Dec. 1, rind will assume con­ trol of the custom houses and direct the civil government. Gen. Blanco will cease to be chief of the island, and must busy himself with the deportation of his troops. Spain naked to be given until Feb. 1 to evacuate, but the cabinet decided not to extend the time beyond this year. The American peace commissioner* at Paris were directed to inform their Span­ ish colleagues in unmistakable terms that it is useless to disenss the Cuban debt, which will not be assumed by either thia country or Cuba. They are to take up question* that are open to discussion, of which the disposal of the Philippines is the post important. It is reported that Spain has agreed to the cession of the isl­ and of Gufem in the Ladrones. MERRITT IS MARRIED. Ceremony Is in Private on Account of tbe Illness of the Bride. Maj. Ges.

There’s a better idea about coughs and cures: Why not fit the lungs to the climate instead of fitting the climate to the lungs? It is the power to do this that makes AYER’S Cherry Pectoral THE BEST COUGH CURE * in the land. It is a sure cure for colds and coughs; a specific for Asthma, Bronchitis, Croup, Whooping Cough; it prevents Pneumonia, cures La Grippe; and it so strengthens the lungs and heals the torn tissues that many cases of disease marked by all the signs of Incipient Consumption have been absolutely cured by its yse. Dr. Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral can now be had in half-size bottles At Half Price, 50 cts ■ We tried almost everything for asthma without success. At last we u«td your Cherry Pectoral and the relief was immediate.* S. A. ELLIS, Keene, N. H. •* When I had almost despaired of ever finding a cure for chronic bronchitis, I derived most excellent results from Ayer’s Cherrv Pectoral. I can testify as to its efficacy.” R. G. PROCTOR, M.

But the seri­ ous illness of MIm Williams disarranged all the plans aud the wedding was a quiet and most unostentatious ceremony, ac­ cording to London dispatches, performed in the. apart men ta of the bride’* mother in the Savoy Hotel. TRAFFIC POOL ILLEGAL Supreme Court Give* Railroads’ Com­ bination a Death Blow. The Supreme Court on Monday render­ ed an opinion on the so-called Joint Traffic Association case, which has been pending over a year. The court by a vote of five to three (Justices Gray, Shiras and White) reversed, tbe findings of the court below and held'against the Joint Traffic Asso­ ciation. Incidentally the court affirmed the constitutionality of (he anti-trust law. The court 'also decided two other cases brought under the anti-trust Jaw. These were the Kansas City Live Stock Asso­ ciation cases, which the court below decid­ ed were in restraint of trade. This judg­ ment was reversed. The Supreme Court’s decision holding that the Joint Traffic Association was a combination in restraint of trade and com­ merce,, nud that the association was ille­ gal, means that organization must stop .transuding the business for which it was formed or el»e must operate on entirely new line*. The case is considered one of the most important that has ever come before the Supreme Court. The associa­ tion was formed Nov. 19, 1895, bj thirtyone railways, representing the great trunk lines and their network of branches. The purpose of the association, as stated in the articles of agreement, waa "to establish and maintain reasonable and just rates, fares and regulations on State and inter­ state traffic.” “There were sixteen children in my father's family and there are seven in my own. We have never, since I can remember, been without Aver’s Cherry Pectoral, and have never had a case of cold or a cough that this remedy did not cure.” Hon. WM. E. MASON, Chicago, III. *' My wife was sick in bed for ten months and was attended by six different doctors. AU of them said that she had consumption, and some of them said she could not live a month. I bought one bottle of Ayer’s Ch'erry Pectoral. It seemed to help her, so 1 secured one dozen bottles. Before these were all used, she was completely cured and to-day is strong and well.” J- W. EWING, Camden Point, Mo. “ For more than a year my wife suffered with lung trouble She had a severe cough, great soreness of the chest, and experienced difficulty in breathing. A three months’ treat­ ment with Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral effected a complete cure. We regarded it as-remarkable, as the other remedies she had tried had failed to even give relief.” C. H.

Republican Nominee for State Senator in the Fifteenth District. was recognized from the first by the members of the bar and those who had given attentiou to the work. Be­ fore the court and jury he is a most forcible, clear uuu concise speaker, possessing that positiveness which evidences a complete understanding of the point under discussion. Those who have had occasion to employ Mr. Potter have found him to be an honest aud capable lawyer, an unflinching worker aud a safe counsellor—faithful to every trust and confidence imposed. Mr. Potter as a lawyer not only brings to his work much natural ability, but also that untiring industry, the lack of which has ruined many u brilliant career. Mr. Potter’s work and study have not alone been confined to law, but you find in him an ardent student of Sllitical sciences and sociology. e is also thoroughly conversant with the political and general history of our country and it may be said of him if of anyone that he has the history of this country at his tongue's end. Mr. Potter, while positive in his ar­ guments, combative ip the trial of cases, still possesses the happy facul­ ty of making many friends and has but few enemies. \ A man of honesty} ability, ex­ emplary in his habits, an untiring worker, the republicans of the 15th Senatorial District have honored him with the nomination for State Sena­ tor, and if elected, as he will be, will give to the office the same thought, attention and sound business judgment that has marked his career up to this date.

The other day he returned home with a story of kidnaping. The day he disap­ peared he went to Lancaster to transact some business, and as he had in hi* pos­ session a considerable sum of money it was believed after a few days that he had been murdered and robbed. A general search of tbe surrounding country was made, even the streams being dragged. Some time after his disappearance his farm was sold‘by the sheriff, his wife buying it in, and it was then concluded that he had fled to escape financial trou­ bles. During hia entire absence his fam­ ily received no news of him, and when he quietly stepped into their midst recently there wns great excitement. His Ltory of his disappearance is a strange one. He says that the day he disappeared he went from Lancaster to Harrisburg to attend to some busini*ss. When ready to return to I jincaster he took a west-bound train instead of one east bound, and about the time he discovered'his error two men claimed that he was in their cnijtody and was being taken to an insane asylum.

A young nun who wns a member of tbe sheriff’s posse has returned to Canyon City. Ore., with a report of a desperate fight between tbe whites and a renegade band of Indians. The nineteen white men and five buck warriors were about forty feet apart when the battle began. George Cuttings, son of David Cuttings, received a ball in the left arm. and it passed through his lung*. He started, in com­ pany with M. Mosier, for Izce, near the scene of the trouble. The wounded man became so weak that he was left near the trail propped up against a tree. When a searching party went to look for him they found bis dead body near a spring, where he had crawled. The posse continued tbe pursuit, and after a running battle killed five Indians. Settlers have been sent to Canyon City for more ammunition, stat­ ing that tbe Indians are gathering around Izee in large numbers.

Dr. Salmbu Mid 80 per cent of tbe hogs treated in droves hare been aaved, while In tbe droves affected with cholera, and not given the acrom treatment quite 80 per cent were lost. Last year the experiments were conduct­ ed in Png# County, Iowa, the results showing a low of only 20 per cent of the affected droves. This year tbe experi­ ment* have been extensive and far-reach­ ing. The bureau treated *922 h‘>g-. Of these 170 died, the number saved bring 85 out of every 1OQ. The loss was only 10 per cent. The animal* comprised seven­ teen droves, nnd of these six droves kmt only one hog each. On -the other iiand, T.107 hogs in other droves were served and not subjected to the serum treatment. Of these 879 died, showing a loss of 79.8 hogs out of every 100. Speaking of the treatment. Dr. Salmon said:- ■ “There I» no question o’f the effective­ ness of the serum treatment. Our opera­ tions have been viewed with skepticism, but the serum treatment for hog cholera Is no longer an experiment. It is a proved Miccess and undoubtedly will save to the farmers of tbe United States millions of dollars every year.” The cholera serum is procured by keep­ ing apart for treatment nu animal—a horse or cow—aud injecting into its blood a small amount of the blood of a cholera-diseased hog. This will sicken the subject, hut ho will recover, when another dose will be administered, and bo on time after time until finally his blood become* »o impreg­ nated as to render him practically cholera proof. Then bis blood is let and the dot drawn off. leaving the thin, yellowish por­ tion, which is the serum. This ia used to inject into the diseased hogs and operate* ’ to render them'likewise cholera proof, or even cures them of the disease after it bus developed. PRESIDENT'S PROCLAMATION.

The election of Tuesday was a surprise in many ways. Not particularly ho in Barry county, as the results here were almost in exact accordance with ’ the careful canvass made by the Republican county committee. But in the stale at large the Republican majorities were larger than expected, and the twelve congressmen who represent the slate at Washington will be all Repub­ licans, which was hardly hoped for by the managers of that party. Eaton county furnished one of the surprising flops, electing an entire Republican ticket by good majorities and giving Potter about 200 majority when it was freely claimed by the silver geo pie that Hendee would have 500. Roosevelte is elected governor of New York by about 20,000. Indiana has gone Republican, an unprecedented thing for an off-year election, and many of the other states have gone over from the Democrats to the Republicans, even Bryan’s Nebraska, but the Republicans lose about fifty from their ma­ jority in Congress. However they will still have a working majority. Congressman Hamilton of this district goes back to Washington by a majority of over 4,000, a well-deserved tribute to bis excellent record and .his personal popularity. , The vote in Barry county is shown in detail in the following table, and while the official count may make a slight variation in the figures, they are substantially correct., The figures for Baltimore were not obtained, but the Democrats carried the the township by majorities ranging from 3 to ,40.

CABTLETON In Castleton there was a light vote polled, there being 250 votes in the first or east precinct and 283 in the second or west precinct, a total of 539. which is 163 lets than at the pres­ idential election in 1896 aud 56 less Ilian at the state election h) 1894. This yas due to several reasons, among which are the bad roads aud the long distance for some of the vo­ ters to travel, aud the absence from home of an exceptionally large num­ ber of voters. In the first precinct the-Republicans had 81 straight votes aud the Democrats 75, while there were 96 split*, -in the second precinct the Republicans had 111 straights and the Democrat* 101, splitting not being so much indulged m on the west side.

While the best clubs of the old country and her biggest cplony are not up to the American standard of skill and training, it is certain that within a very few years England. Aus­ tralia, Canada and the United States will be playing International cham­ pionship series. Base-ball Interest can scarcely be said to have been aroused In England until the Chicago round-the-world “twirlers” exhibited their skill at the historic Kensington oval, in 1889. Five: thousand persons attended the Initial game, to which the presence of the Prince of Wales gave eclat. He enjoy­ ed the contest immensely, applauded the finer points of the play, and finally approved the game. This set the ball rolling. American residents of London taught the game to a few English friends, and soon it came to be played by nines of mixed nationalities.

Many curious comments are made by the Engilsh spectators on the costumes worn by the players.

As re­ gards the players, there are no profes­ sionals. The forty-five or fifty teams In England are composed of amateurs.

At Pcvonport, the site of the largest arsenal in England, the Government Is hurriedly assembling a j<owcrful emergen­ cy squadron which it is understood will be sent to Gibraltar to await developments.

The North Pacific fleet lias been assembled at Esquimanlt, and the vessels are all being put on a full war footing. REVISION IS ORDERED. Court of Cassation Reaches Decision in Dreyfus Case. The court of cassation at Paris has granted the application for revision uf the Dreyfus court martial, but refused lo or­ der the release of the prisoner pending the result of the revision. Dreyfus will be taken to Paris from Devil’s Island, off the coast of French Guiana, where he is now In prison. Emotion among the spec­ tators in the court followed the reading of a pathetic letter from Dreyfus. A significant point was the revelation of the fact that Gen. de Boisdeffre gave or­ ders. after the Dreyfus case was supposed closed, for the dossier, containing the bor­ dereau, to be burned, and expressed sur­ prise afterward to find that his orders bad not been executed.

LIVES LOST IN THE WAR. ConuaiMioner of PcjMiona Faya Exact Number Was Two thousand nine hundred nnd six lives were lost in the late war with Spain, ac­ cording to Pension Commissioner 1L Clay Evans. Of this number 2.900 died in camps. The statistics of his office, he also says, show that the percentage of death in camps from disease was much less than during the civil war. He says that dur­ ing the rebellion 40,000 men were killed in battle and 360,000 perished in tamps and prisons. From May 1 to Sept 30. 1898, the total deaths were 2.90G, of which 107 were offi­ cers. At Santiago the loss of life ^as 222 privates and twenty-two officers. At Car­ denas one officer was killed, and since the first battle on Cuban soil aixty-ene moa hare died of wounds received while tn ser­ vice.

The right of a city or town to asses* an occupation tax on a railroad corporation was sustained by the Supreme Court at Lincoln, Neb., which hold* that such a levy is not hi violation of the interstate commerce not, nor void because it taxes a business transacted wholly within the city. Further, the court rays, it is not an at­ tempt to impose a tax on the railroad de­ pot in addition to the tax arising from tbe general assessment of tbe railroad's prop­ erty. The case in point was that of the City of York* ngainKt the. Chicago. Burlington and Quincy. The railroad fought the ordinance, and was sustained by the lower court.

None of it will be used tor the establishment of new in­ stitution*. The call for the fund will soon be issued. It is not intended to mnkc the collection* at one stated time, but to make them so gradual that they will not be a burden. The offering is intended as an expression of thanks for the comple­ tion of nineteen centuries of Christianity and will be the greatest effort of its char­ acter ever undertaken by any religious or­ ganization. Wanted to Die Together. A desperate attempt to commit suicide was made by Hosp''Laurer, aged 22, and J. E. Cieckncr, aged 32, at Cleveland. The couple walked out to the end of the dock of the Cleveland Yacht Club, at the foot of Erie street, and tied themselves to­ gether with strip* torn from a bed sheet. They then jumped into the lake. Two Lake Shore railroad detectives were in the vicinity and witnessed the act. They at once ran down and dived into the icy wat­ ers after the couple. The man and wom­ an were finally rescued after n long strug­ gle on the part of the detectives. Both were taken to a hospital. Cleckner is a conductor on the Cleveland and Pittsburg road.

King George uf Greece may abdicate in the spring in favor of Crown Prine* Constantine. This report Is pcritlirtcnt al Copenhagen in court circles, but naturally cannot be verified. King George is still visiting tiare, after attending the funeral of hi* mother, the Queen of Denmark. The known unpopularity cl Prince Constantine with the Greek people, who attribute to him many of the misfortunes of, the war with Turkey, tend* to discredit the idea of his father's abdicating in his favor. It is well known, however, that King George would like to retire and return to Den­ mark if he could safely do so without im­ periling the future of his children. PLOT TO WRECK A TRAIN.

After a while be raised his head, and, rising languidly, began to walk with un­ even steps up and down tbe room. Weak though he waa, the fever and distress of bis mind would not let him rest; the old wound so roughly torn open waa bleed­ ing afresh, aa if it bad been inflicted on the previous day, instead of years before. He knew tbat, when he gave the child whom he bad loved and succored to the uncle who had claimed her, he had given her up forever; that, greet ns was bis love for her, be could be nothing to her In the new life to which she went; that between an actor, even were he great in bts profession, and Lord Elsdale's niece, yawned a wide gulf which nothing could bridge over. ’ He knew that, however sincere her affection might be for Eton, new ties would win her from her alle­ giance to him, and tbat, although he had been much to her in the past, he could be nothing in the future. It seemed to him, as he paced w'itb fal­ tering and uneven steps up aud down the little room, that in those minutes he be­ came an old man—a man in whom all hope of happiness was dead, al! love of life was extinct. “Well, it is better so!” he murmured after a while, as he went back again to the armchair and sank down upon it, with a great sadness in his face, a great weariness in his gray eyes. "He is wor­ thy, nnd they will be happy; and—and I am content." A soft knock at his door made him raise his head with a start, and his mut­ tered “Come in!” had a touch of impa­ tience in it. At first it seemed unheeded; then the door opened softly, and the girl of whom he had been thinking entered the room. Closing the door after her, she came forward to where he sat still and motion­ less, wondering dimly whether this was a waking dream, an apparition conjured up by the fever caused by the pain of his wounds and the excitement ot his restless night. When half-way across the room, she hesitated, trembling somewhat, and very pah*. He looked at her in silence, with­ out a word of recognition or greeting. There reigned a stillness so profound that the girl’s hurried breathing was distinctly audible—a silence which he would not, and could not, break. >7 LI Mark, forgive me!" the “Thcre can be no such word between tut.

The trembling Captain of the Port, the terrified foreign consuls and the cus­ tom-house officials thought that a swift-moving cab might bring him to the port in a half hour. “Have you a telephone about the place?” asked tbe Napoleonic Curtain., They had. “Then call hUp up and tell him if he doesn’t come down here in a hack in thirty minutes and surrender, I shall bombard Ponce!” This was the Ensign’s ultimatum. He turned his back on the terrified in­ habitants and returned to his gig. Four hacks started on a mad race for Ponce and the central office of the telephone rang with hurry calls. On hia way out to the ship, Ensign Curtain met Commander Davis on his way to the shore. Commander Davis looked at his watch. “I shall extend his time another half hour,” said Commander Davis. Ensign Curtain saluted sternly, making no criticism upon Riis weak generosity on the part of his superior officer, but he could afford to be magnanimous,” From , “The Porto Rican Campaign,” by I Richard^Harding Davis, in the No- | Continued.... * w ik m iu A successful apple grower says: “I have never had a wormy apple in my orchard.

H. Brumm, the / Head Grocer. Some people think Friday is an un­ lucky day. It la for those who arhanged on Friday, and It has been for those who have got the worst of any | event that happened on Friday. Any other day could be made lovippear un­ lucky. Sunday has been a favorite day for excursionists to die on. What la lucky for one man is unlucky for another. Lee surrendered on Friday, but that was a great day for Grant. Moscow was burned on Friday. Washington was born on Friday. Shakespeare was born on Friday. America was discovered on Friday. Richmond waf evacuated on Friday. The Bastile was destroyed on Friday. The Mayflower was landed on Friday. Queen Victoria was married on Friday; Charles 1. was beheaded on Friday. | Fort Sumpter was bom barbed on Fri­ day. Napoleon Bonaparte was born I orr Friday. Julius Caesar was as­ sassinated on Friday. The battle of : Marengo was fought on Friday. The battle of Waterloo was fought on Fri­ day. Joan of Arc was burned at the stake on Friday. The battle of New Orleans was fought on Friday. The battle of Bunker Hill was fought on Friday. TheDeclarationoflnaependence-was signed on Friday. There are people who never go anywhere who object to starting on Friday ; and there arc those who never do anything who would not commence a iob on Friday. These things prove nothing. Robinson Crusoe’s F/iday was lucky in beinjj saved from the savages. Any old Fri­ day is good enough if people wish to make<it so.—Michigan Tradesman. One fool used to be born every min­ ute. Now there are two and sometimes three. The business is growing aud the product is of high quality. But the biggest fool of all fools is the’infernal fool who thinks he knows it all wheth­ er he be born on the farm, in the fac­ tory, or in the business office. The man who does not know that he can learn something by talking with some­ body else, is a candidate for the insane asylum or the poor house A man may shut himself up on his farm or in his office and be monarch of all he surveys, but his survey is so small it will keep him poor all his life. Ex­ pansion is the watchword of the day, and the way to expand is get out and expand. It cannot be done by sitting around and throwing bouquets at our­ selves. It is the bouquets of others which come our way that count, and we cannot expect others to use us as tar­ gets unless we let them know where we’re at. One of our farmers came into a store the other ddy with some apples to sell. The store keeper offered him 50c a bushel. A commercial traveler who was standing by said to the farmer; “If you had those apples in New York you could get a 81.;K) a bushel for them.” “Ya’as, I ’epose I could,” re­ plied the farmer, ’an’ if I had a pail of water in h—1, I reckon it| would bring 81 a glass.” “One on me,” echoed tbe drummer, as he picked up his grip and slid for the door.

The young folks are both artists in their line and the good peo­ ple of Bellevue are to be congratulated that they have decided to locate there. Mrs. W. Z. Mitchel] of Benton, mother of Mrs. L. F. Weaver of this place, suffered a severe attack of paralvsis on Thursday of last week. Dr. and Mrs. Weaver were summoned im­ mediately, and Mrs. Weaver still re­ mains with her mother, who is report­ ed slightly improved. A large attendance of the members of Ivy Lodge. K. of P., was out Tues­ day evening to greet State Lecturer W. H. Loomis, who exemplified the unwritten work in a manner highly pleasing io all. The rank of knight was conferred and a lunch was in­ dulged in after the work. There will be Epworth league ser­ vices at the M. E. church next Sunday November 2(>th. at 6:00 p. m.

George Selleck of Manistique, for­ merly of this village, and one of the finest and best liked boys who ever lived here, was married at Minneapo­ lis on Wednesday, the 16th, to Miss Maud Barriball of Chicago. The News extends congratulations for the village to Mr. and Mrs. Selleck. Dogs are again killing sheep north of the village. Last week John Mater’s and D. W. and E. V. Smith’s flocks were visited and several sheep bitten badly. Several shot guns are now kept loaded in the neighborhood and if the marauders can be caught sight ’ of the canine census of the township will be reduced. Following is a list of letters remain­ ing unclaimed in this office up to date of November 15th: M. Chas. Wert, Eldred Ely, Grace Pnuth, Carrie Simott, James Hoiles. A. J. Witherell, Florence Williams, Louis Lombard, Bessie Brown, Myrtie Brooks, Chas. Mulvoney, B. Tanner (card.) W. S. Powers, P. M. The many Nashville friends of Rev. A. T. Waterman will be pleased to learn that arrangmenta have been made whereby he will continue in • charge of the Congregational church in this village for another year. Mr. Waterman is a pleasing and talented speaker and an honest , conscientious worker in the Master's cause, and our Congregational friends are to be con­ gratulated on being able to retaiu him. If you have a guest at your party, and he looks as bored as an Indian to­ bacco sign, don’t imagine that he is not having a good time. It is the lat­ est style to get a look on your face indicative of indifference to everything going on around you. Never smile or cry. They make wrinkles, and show that you are not in the latest fashion. The man who is strictly in it has a poker look on his face. It is an unwise policy for a mer­ chant to abstain from spending fifty dollars for advertising simply because he cannot afford to spend a thousand. It should be remmbered that seed will grow just as well when bought in small packages as when bought in bushels, and although the crop will necessarily be much smaller, it will be lust as luxuriant. Furthermore, it is far better to have a small crop than to have none at all. The M. E. church will be open all the evening next Wednesday evening to receiiv contributions for the releif of some of our town people. Anything fa the line of elothing, qrovisions or wood will be thankfully received by the committee and placet in the homes that need it most. Any one who will give wood will please tell the commit­ tee so at the chureh and they will give directions. This te a laudable work. It is evident that the electors of Mich­ igan have not yet mastered the intric­ acies of the Australian ballot, and many of them fa attempting to split their tickets, have made a bad mess of it. Attorney General Maynard has already been appealed to for his opin­ ion fa twenty or more cases where the fatention of the voter is not readily revealed by the ballot, fa a majority of these cases the voter has evidently done just exactly what he wished to avoid doing, and in not a few instances he threw his vote nway entirely. Tlie cases came from several different counties, but in none of them will the ruling of the attorney affect the result state still have much to learn about marking their ballots. �. wix.1. . .LJSBBBBBSg kih.h.t AT fa»».

WOULD BE NOTHING FOR CON­ GRESS TO Dtt Investigation of Affaire in Cuba and the Philippine* Will Not Be Fin* iehed in Tinic-rtutc of Trade aa Viewed by Dun. Opinion* of n Cabinet Officer. There continue* to be a good deni of talk in Washington ns to the possibility of an extra ressiun next spring, but those members of the udiuinistratiun^who have studied the question seem to be generally opposed to’il. One cabinet officer said: ••Had the election* resulted differently we would have liecn obliged to get through as much of the war legislation a* possible daring the present session, but. as it is, we cau scarcely do more than prepare lhe way for future work. In nil probability the President wilt sugg<*st the creation of Meparatv cowmbudous, one for Cuba, one for I’orto Rico and another for the Phil­ ippines. The settlement of the Cuban question after lhe evacuation by the Klumiah will necessarily require deep study and many [>ersonnl visits to the island. According to the pledge made by Congress we ahull be ls>nnd to create a new government for Cuba. The island lias been under the blight of Spanish rule aince its discovery, and in attempting to Kraft our republican ideas upon u people who have been accustoqied to the worst monarchical rule in the world, there will arise problems which it will take time to suite. If a commission is sent to the Philippines, it will take them all of two months to get there after they are ap­ pointed. If they stay a month, take a month Io come back, and spend another month formulating their report, nearly half a year will be consumed. This liv­ ing the case, it docs not seem possible for Congress to begin wise legislation this spring: and the extra session. if one is called, would probably not be until the fall or the late summer. OCTOBER A GOOD MONTH. Volime of Trade Was the Largest Ever Known in That Month. It. G. Dun. & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: "The country ha* safely pass­ ed the trial of off-year elections. Before this election everything excepj political uncertainties favored business enlarge­ ment. The volume of trade has been the greatest ever known in October, ami the greatest ever known in any month except December. 1892. The record on Novem­ ber thus far shows clearings 10.4 per cent larger than last year and 0.3 per cent larger than in 1W«2. The railroad earn­ ings in October hare been 5.2 i>er cent larger than last year and 9 per cent larger than in 1802. Foreign trade shows an in­ crease of 20 per cent in October in ex­ ports, while inqiorts showed a gain of only 22 jicr cent in October, ami credits against foreign bankers were piling up nt an in­ convenient rate. Failures for the week were 211 in the United States, against 291 List year, and 26 in Canada, against 24 last year.’* BARELY ESCAPE CREMATION. Close Cull for Soldiers Caught in a Burning Bleeping Car. Four companies of the Twelfth United Stites Infantry, en route from Jefferson barracks, St. Louis, to Fort Riley, Kan., narrowly escnyt*d Is’ing burned alive in 'their train ou the Missouri Pacific, twelve miles east of Sedalia. The train consisted of twelve coaches'amf a Pullman, sleeper. The soldiers were sound asleep and the train was going nt full speed. when the alarm of fire in the Pullman was sounded. The men leaped from their berths and seats and engaged in a wild scramble for the doors, which of course were locked. The train quickened its speed and rushed Into East Sedalia, where fire engines in ■waiting soon extinguished the flumes, while the soldiers i* lighted in great con­ tusion. The train continued on its way after a delay of about an hour. ingrcceived by DinxgoKJobn H. McGibbona. The United.

In 1900 these same exhibitors will occupy -about 75,000 square feet of floor space.

Wrong Doing in Dreyfus Caae to Be Heaped on the Suicide. In view ot_the danger of disclosures in the Court of Cassation kt Paris which would implicate prominent officials in the Dreyfus scandal, an effort-is now bring made to heap all the wrongdoing on the suicide. Col. Henry, making him a double scapegoat, guilty not only of illegal action in the Dreyfus .court martial but of the original treason itself. To this end it is alleged that Henry forged evidence not to save the "honor”, of the army but to pre­ vent himself from being detected as the real criminal. His sudden suicide is pointed to as evidence of guilt, and that he believed himself discovered. ‘ TESTIFIED AND DIED. Peculiar Circumstance* at a Kansas City Revival Meeting.

The hall waa crowded with worshipers. After a short service people in the congregation arose one by one and began to bear testi­ mony. Mrs. Walker’s death was caused by heart disease. Resolved on Deaperate Measures. An alarming story of a projected mur­ der plot in Paris is published by the Lon­ don Chronicle. From a trustworthy source it is learned an organised effort Is bring made by certain champions of dis­ order, aided by those persons in military and ciyil life who have reasons to dread the light, to make the publication of the decision of the Court ot Cassation synony­ mous with a riotous outburst in Paris, preliminary to a resolute attempt to over­ throw the civil power,-should the results turn out satisfactorily to the promoters, and should the ground be sufficiently cleared for the accomplishment ot that .purpose. One of the contemplated fea­ tures of the riots was to be the sssasination of some distinguished Frenchmen who hare been striving to avert the evils which are ruining their country. These men have been marked down for assassi nation and the Paris police are aware of the fact. The police authorities bare offered to station plain clothes police offi­ cers in the neighborhood of their resi­ dences night and day and attend them in their walks. The people who head the lists include an cx-Minister of Justice, a widely respected journalist, a well-known advanced political leader, several leading Frenchmen of letters, journalists and expoliticians. . 111 1 I.. yyAfi AjiONG CREEKS.

The results obtained surpass the most sanguine expectations of Prof. Scott and the geological department. The expedition, the report says, explored the country inland and to the northward for a distance of 800 miles from the Straits of Magellan, adding much to our knowl­ edge af the geography of the country and discovering at the base of the Andes a beautiful lake thirty miles in length not previously reported.

Railway Shop* Burn. A fire which broke out in the extensive railroad shops of the Southern Padfic Company at Sacramento. Cal., caused a loss of over $200,000. It started in the car and machine-shop in the center of a group of large buildings, and. fanned by a stiff northwest wind, destroyed the struc­ ture and its machinery in less than half an hour. It next attacked the big saw and planing mill and cabinet shop, fiik*d with seasoned lumber of all kinds, and in a few minutes die whole interior of the big brick structure was a raging furnacr. Hundreds of railway employes aided the firemen in fighting the flumes, which were got under control by daylight. The cause of the fire is not positively known, but it is thought to have started from crossed electric light wires in the car shops.

Spain, which it waa alleged vnuid contain some caustic criticism of thr War Depart­ ment and bureau chiefs, turns out to b»wholly devoid of sensationalism. It has ixten math* public by order of Rrcretary tion ot facts that an- already well known, with such comment as might naturally be expected from the general commanding Gen. Miles explains the-delays in receiv­ ing supplies when the trooiw were being assembled by the lack of preparation, and says that with so many undisciplined men iu the ettmps there must necessarily be some sickness. Copies of letters and telegrams accom­ panying the report show -that on June 26 Gen. Miles was directed to organize the Porto Rican campaign and to take com­ mand of txjth that Yorce and Gen. Shaf­ ter’s army. In a letter dated July 17 Shafter told Miles Alger had prom­ ised Mm that he would not be superseded iu command in Cuba. Gen. Miles replied promptly that he was the general com­ manding the army, and that Shafter was subject to bls orders. Under orders from Washington Gen. Mlles accepted the sur­ render of Santiago. . Gen. Miles urges the early completion of coast defenses and favors increasing the standing army to 62.500 men, or one soldier for every 1,000 of the population. In conclusion, be recommends the au­ thorization of an auxiliary force of nativ'e troops in Cuba. Porto Rico and the Philip­ pines, to he officered by United States army officers, and not exceeding two aqldiera per 1,000 population of the islands. CORN YIELD FOR 1898. The November report of the statistician of the Department of AgricuXure will give 24.8 bushels as the average yield per acre of coni, according to the preliminary returns of the department's cor«espondents.

The indicated yield in the principal corn States is: Ohio, 36 bushels per acre; In­ diana, 36 bushels; Illinois, 30 bushels; Iowa, 32 buvhcls; Missouri, 26 bushels; Kansas, 19 bushels; Nebraska, 21 bush­ els; Pennsylvania, 32 bushels. The crop in the seven States aggregates 1,123,504.­ 000 bushels, or 8,237,000 bushels more than a month ago, but a decrease of 107.­ 139,000 bushels from last year. The av­ erage per cent of quality is 82.7, as com­ pared with 86.3 in 1897 and 88.4 in 1SML Reports indicate that about 7.25 per cent of the crop of 1897 is still in farmers’ hands.

During the panic years Iteginning with thexn-ash in June, 1883. and all through the tedious period of profound depression and alow recovery, the two most prosper­ ous sections of the United States were Houghton County, Mich., and Silver Bow County, Mont. Wher all other branches of industry were partially paralysed the great copper mines of Michigan and Mon­ tana continued to add to their forces and increase their outputs. The effects of years of good times, in the midst of a na­ tional panic, and of enormous profits to the mines, has been to stimulate the pro­ duction of old mines aud tbe exploitation of new properties to nn unusual degree In the Michigan district. Four years ago there were but nine active copper mines in the entire Lake Superior district. At the present time work is under way at a score of different properties with half as many more about to resume work before next summer. On Dec. 31.1897, the value of the nine active properties was $73,­ 835,000 and including the Baltic, Isle Royale and other properties then in process of reorganization or development, the total value of lake copper mines was nearly $80,000,000. On Oct. 24. 1898, tbe value of the lake copper properties was $104,­ (190,000, the figures being based upon the quotations of the Boston stock exchange. Twelve years of faithful, unassuming toil have brought their reward to E. C. Lyke of Superior township. About 1880 he took charge of a 100-acre farm belong­ ing to a maiden lady named Phoebe A. Wheelock, working it on shares. When the woman died a month ago she left a will giving to J^yke almoat all of her prop­ erty valued at more than $17,000, direct­ ing'him to pay the sum of $3,000 to three remaining relatives. An uncle of Miss Wheelock contested the will. It was jwnved in the probate court that the bequest came to Lyke as a complete surprise and as a return for years of honest, faithful service. The uncle contesting on the ground of undue influence threw up the case upon hearing the true status of af­ fairs, and the will was duly admitted to probate. Birds of Paradise. Tbe Birds of Paradise are unrivalled for the brilliancy of their coloring. It is difficult, however, to any which among them has the most brilliant plumage.

THE VACANT CHAIR. T seemed to Aunt Huldah Simmons that the pumpkin had never looked so {■ale and waxy, the apples so weazened, even the turkey it­ self so lifelessly diatnnl, as on tbnt especial Thanksgiv­ ing morning. “It’s going to be a failure!" she said bi ___ snappishly. “For twenty years the cheeriest, the brightest, the happiest celebration under this roof ever was—and now!” Aunt Huldah plunged her arms to the elbows luto' the flour barrel, and choked with the dust she raised, and was glad of an excuse to smother a kind of a sob. Just then the groceryman from town drove up, brought in his basket of “Axtrys and fixin’*,” and for a moment stopped to steam his snow-crusted shoes at the blaz­ ing fireplgce. “Well, mum! well, mum!" be raid brisk­ ly, "on hand, as I see? Why, it’s getting to be a milestone in my life, mum!” “What is?” demanded Auut Huldah tartly. Poor soul, she did not feel overcompanionable. . “Coming here—at this hour, on this day. Think of it. Miss Simmon^! For twenty year, every Thanksgiving day. I’ve deliv­ ered the ordered basket of raisins, and currants, and mace, and citron, and nuts, and every Thanksgiving morning for twenty year your blessed face has smiled ‘Come ini’ 1 say, mum. if some Thanks­ giving morning I should miss just this. I’d go home, shut up shop, nnd begin to think ‘Thing* haiu’t right—the best dinner “on. my dot! mt-boy!” with a prompt departure, and not a word had been heard of tbe wandering son, brother and nephew since. So, no wonder that Aunt Huldah brown­ ed the turkey with a lack-spirit nest, that doleful morning—and no wouder that pretty Nanny beat the pudding saurce be­ tween spells of tears, for there was a va­ cant chair nt the Dalton table only one person could fill, nnd be wns n wanderer, lost, missing, that sad Thanksgiving day. Tap-tap! “Come in!” spoke Mr. Dalton. “It’s a tramp," murmured Aunt Hul­ dah. “Sit down, won’t you, and have some dinner?” insinuated Mrs. Dalton’s gen­ tle. motherly tones. The 'dinner had been a blank failure. Pretty Nanny won almost thankful for tbe incident that distracted thoughts and attention from the vacant chair beside her. . The cloaked, snow-shot figure entering moved towards that chair at the Invita­ tion. “Not there!” sharply said Mr. Dalton. “No, set another chair and plate, sister," suggested his wife. •TH take this one!" amazingly spoke the intruder. “You thought enough of scapegrace Walter to keep him in mem­ ory, eh. folks?

I’ve been in the Cuban war.” “Oh. my boy! my boy!” murmured his mother poignantly. "Father, if 1 hadn’t been ’all right’ I’d never have had tbe courage to face what lost me that"—nnd the hero showed one nrm missing at the elbow. “If I had not learned to obey order* better than when I left home, they would never have honored me with those," and Walter indicated the barred shoulder straps he wore. “I’ve come back fur forgiveness—a bet­ ter boy. a new Walter," went on the sol­ dier-penitent. “And I’ve brought a pledge that I mean to live life In earnest. Father, mother, this is my wife!” ■ Walter had stei^ped back to open the door. There, shy, beautiful, with anxious pleading in her' lovely Cuban face, was the girl-wife <>f the boy-soldier. "Come In!” spoke Nanny, her soul in her eyes, her, welcoming hands out­ stretched. / . "Ye*,” brokenly but fervently cried Mr. Dalton. "As Uncle Sam says to all hi* wards, ‘Enter!

"And I slighted the turkey?’ mourned Aunt Huldah Simmons, under her breath, | “and I made the biscuit* just a* my heart felt—like lead! I’m punished for shirking my duty.

Hold-Up on Fanta Fe Koad Thwarted The first section of the west-bound Santa Fe train No. 1 was stopped two mili>s west of Daggett. Cal., by. men seat­ ed on the tender of the engine. ' Engineer Bunnell was confronted by two revolvers and ordered to stop, but this order was _ countermanded ami the train proceeded for about a mile nnd was then brought to a standstill at the command of the rob­ bers, who evidently expected to meet pals at this point. In this they were not dis­ appointed nnd the robbers ordered Engi­ neer Bunnell to carry a twenty-imund bag of dynamite to the express car. Messen­ gers Hutchinson and Blakely appeared at tlie door of the‘express car ajined with guns. The robbers fired at Blakely, who, locating them by the Hash of their guns, returned the fire, killing one robber. The dead man’s left eye nnd all that side of his head was torn aivay. The other rub­ bers stampeded and made their escape. KILLED BY BLASTING POWDER. Fatal Results Attend the Attempt of a Miner to Build n Fire As a result of an accidental explosion uf blasting powder nt Portsmouth, Ohio, George W. Ferguson. a quarrymau, was fatally injured, two of his children were killed and his wife and another child are disfigured for life. Ferguson wus hunting for wood to build a fire, aud found a pow­ der can apparently full of coal. When he attempted to start a fire with this, a loud explosion fallowed, which knocked out one entire side of the house. Ferguson. his wife aud a baby in arms and four little daughters were grouped about the stove. It transpired that the cau was partially filled' with blasting powder. A special dispatch from Bucharest says two attempt* have been made recently up­ on the life of ex-King Milan of Servin. The first, it ap|H>ars. was on a train be­ tween Kragujev.-z and NiSch. A number of peasants attacked the former king’s car with pistols nnd stones. They smashed the windows and wounded some of the members uf his mite. Later at Nlsch a man dressed as a student and armed with a revolver entered Milan’s bedroom. but he was arrested before he could attack the ex-king. Big bale of Shorthorn Cattle. A sale of shorthorn cattle from the herd of H. C. Duncan of Osborn. Mo., attract­ ed many breeders to the Kansas City stock yards. Fifty head sold for an aver­ age of $214 each, though twelve Cruiekshauk shorthorns, bulls, cows and heifers brought an average of $400. The highest prici* realized was $1,000. paid by J. W. Smith A- Son of Allerton. Iowa, for the 3-year-old bull Baron Duddhig. The low­ est price was $105, for a 3-yeurold cow. An engine pulling a heavy lot of cars, ■whHe going up a grade near Converse Station, Ohio, exploded with fearful re­ sults. The fireman was killed and three trainmen fatally injured. The bodies were blown some distance away. The train consisted of twenty-five cars nnd each was derailed. The report uf the explosion was heard for miles away. One Dead, the Other Dying.

Wednesday’s meeting of the joint peace commission in Pari* lasted, forty-five min­ utes and wns of high importance. The Spanish commissioners presented their re­ joinder to the American reply on the Phil­ ippine question, in which the contention was reiterated that Philippine sovereignty does not come in for discussion under the terms of the protocol and various reasons were given why the United States pro­ posal concerning the debt could not be ac­ cepted by Spain. But the surprise of the meeting was the request that the dispute should be referred to arbitration as to the scope of the protocol and as to the legality of the demand of the United States to consider the sovereignty question under it. This proposal was submitted with the protestation that it was made simply be­ cause of the great desire of Spain to bring the negotiations to an amigable issue. It was also pointed out that the United States has always been the foremost champion of arbitration. The American cogjndgsJoncpi asked for an adjournment untySaturaay. Of &urse the United States cannot en­ ter into a long-drawn-out arbitration oyer phraseology. The fact that the United States reserved to itself in the protocol possession of Manila and the fact that “the control, disposition and government" of the Philippines were mentioned as the subject for future determination shows that the entire matter is within tEe jurisdlcilpn 2X the Paris peace commission. Spa[5 T<%ort3 again to its old hair-splitting tactics. If anything were to b<j arbitrate it would be the Sain proposition as to whether the United States should hold the Philippines, and not thC quibble ns to whether the terms of the protocol war­ ranted’ the consideration of that question at. all. Spain’s object is to irritate the United States as much ns possible and to place itself before the world as the muchabused victim of overwhelming power. As a conqueror in war the United States has the right to dictate the terms of peace. If the United States chooses to demand the Philippines it is within the bounds of right, according to the usages of war, in so doing. As to whether or not the United States should take the Philippines is a matter to be settled by itself, on consid­ erations wholly apart from any rights of Spain In the premises.

A fight toKwrcu the Arbuekles, the caf­ fe* kings, nad the Havemt-yers. the sugar kings, is becoming so active that the ef­ fect will soon be felt throughout t?ie coun­ try, ahd particularly Ly the grocery trade. They have already commenced cutting prices, and the apprehension of the invest­ ors is shown by the rapid decline in the price of sugar stocks.

Therefore the shrewd old Scotchman made an arrange­ ment with the sugar trust to furnish him. a certain quantity of sugar daily, which he put up in bags with the yame machines that he used for coffee. The scheme was a great success, and rhe Arbuckle sugar sprang into popularity throughout the. country. In 1896, however, when the price of raw sugar went down, Mr. Arbuckle fJemandetf a reduction in his.bills, but the Havemeyers laughed nt him. This made the old man angry’ and he resolved to put.up re­ fineries of his own and enjoy the profit that is now going to the sugar trust. Mr. Arbuckle started at ontV to bt^ld a sugar* refinery and coaxed Mr. StiHman, the su­ gar trust manager at Boston, to becomehis superintendent. He put up a refinery in Brooklyn that is now turning out 1,000* barrels of sugar a day, and every ounceof It is packed in little Arlir.ckle twigs and. sold Ln that form. Mr. Hawmeyer hired a fellow countryman named Herman. Sielcken, from the Arbuckle factory, forhis manager, nnd bought out an establish­ ment at Toledo, which now has an output of 3,000 bags of coffee a day. and fitted up several idle sugar factories with ma­ chinery for roasting and grinding coffee* which he is selling us near as possible in the.

Then, the doctor took hold of me, and after a thorough physical examination, passed me along to the teacher, who, after ask­ ing numerous questions, turned my footsteps toward the chaplain’s office. Here, I was again copiously showered with questions, and listened to the reading of the rules of the prison. By this time, I had decided that a lawyer stood no show at asking ques­ tions beside two/fer three prison of­ ficials. , (' After all thee* human interrogation points had done with me, I was con­ ducted to. what is called the mourner’s bench, and allowed to ruminate upon the mutability of human affairs in general, and of my own in particular. After an hour or so of this, an officer conducted me into a ward, up a nar­ row flight of stairs, and along a gal­ lery, to No 82 B, where I have since remained, except when at work. Now let us go through one day’s routine, and you will have a fair sam­ ple of all the balance. At six a. m., the big gong in the rotunda, audible all over the prison, is given a fqw sharp strokes which serve to intimate forcibly that my night of oblivion is ended, and that I must arise and dress. After a short interval, another signal is given, and then comes the click-click of the ponderous keys, as the mam­ moth locks are turned by the keepers. At the tHird signal, the lines begin their march to breakfast. Each line has a keeper, and it marches in time to the tap of the deputy warden’s cane upon the stone floor of the rotunda, through which all artist pass. The lock step is not in use. In the dining room, 1 sit down to my breakfast un­ der the eye of the keeper, and not a sound is heard among all the five hun­ dred men, except the rattle of the table furniture and the foot steps of the waiters. All food wanted is called for by signs. If one wants bread he holds up one Anger. If he wants potatoes or meat he holds up a fork, and so on. After breakfast comes the formation of the shop lines and we go to work. In this prison is a shirt factory, a knitting shop, tailor shop, furniture factory and all the shops necessary to do the work of the prison. Nearly all the labor is done bv inmates. They run engines, electric light dynamos, make clothing, shirts, socks, shoes, furniture, keep books, care for green­ houses and, in fact, are employed in every department imaginable neces­ sary for the daily conduct of the-pris­ on and the contracts. Dinner is eaten in tbe dining room, and supper is taken In such company as you make it, alone in your cell.

Many women suffer untold agony and misery because the nature of their disease is not correctly understood. They have been led to believe that womb trouble or female weakness of some sort is responsible for the many Ills that beset woman-kind. Neuralgia, nervousness, headache, puffy or dark circles under the eyes, rheumatism, a dragging pain or dull ache in the back, weakness orbearing­ down sensation, profuse or scanty supply of urine with strong odor, fre­ quent desire to pass it with scalding or burning sensation, sediment in it after standing in a bottle or common glass for twenty-four hours, are signs of kidney and bladder trouble. The above symptons are often attrib­ uted by the patient herself - or by her physican to female weakness or womb trouble. Hence, so many fail to obtain relief, because they are treating, not the disease itself, but a reflection of the primary cause, which is kidney trouble. ' In fact, women as well as men are made miserable with kidney and blad­ der trouble and both need the same remedy. Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is the great discovery of the eminent kidney and bladder specialist, and is easy to get at any drug store for fifty cents or one dollar. To prove its wonderful merits you may have a sample bottle and book telling all about it, both sent absolute­ ly free by mail.

DID YOU EVER His Ch op-Sticks? A Chinaman walked to the doorway of a little shop^tm Chores street and seated himself onlrfioap box. He was an everyday sort of Chinaman, with a pig-tall colled neatly around bis crown and a face as expressionless as a brandied cherry. In one hand he held a large saucer of Ice cream, just procured from a little confectioner next door. He poised the saucer carefully on one knee, anil from the mysterious recesses of his sleeve produced a couple of Ivory chop-sticks, about as big around as quills and ns long as lead pencils. Meanwhile his countenance betrayed no interest In the proceeding. It was blank, impassive and Inscrutable. He seemed to be thinking of something far away. Balancing a chop-stick delicate­ ly In each hand, he plunged the points Into the Ice cream and executed a swift. Indescribable, circular move­ ment. By some miracle a conical chunk of the frigid delicacy arose through space, and nt the same instant he open­ ed and shut his mouth. Tbe cone had disappeared. Again and again he re­ peated the maneuver, and such was his celerity that a steady stream of conical chunks ascended from the saucer, just as six shells are said to be In the air at once when a rapid-fire gun Is brought Into action. If he enjoyed the feast he made no sign. He still seemed to be thinking of things far away. Another Chinaman appeared dimly In the back­ ground nnd said, something shrill that sounded like a phonograph. The stream ceased for an Instant and the first Chi­ naman emitted four squeaks without turning around; then It started again. Presently the saucer was empty. It was more than empty—It was polished.

"At times John is unmistakably an Idiot.” "Merely because he is your husband?” “Sir!” "Oh. very well,” was the grim re­ joinder. ".We will put it tn another way.

The recent announcement of-tbe Iron Mountain Company that all Its lands In souxbeast Missouri, comprising over 30,000 acres, together with Its houses, (hops and btilldingH. of all descriptions, were for sale for farming and stock raising purtxmrs is an object lesifuu on the fallibility of Unman knowledge, and scientific human knowledge at that. •The rise and fall of this great indus­ try makes an interesting chapter In the Industrial history of Missouri. Believ­ ing the scientific stories about the In­ exhaustible mountain.of Iron, a com­ pany was organized In 1845 to exploit, the great Iron Mountain deposits. The first act of the company was tbe pur­ chase of a large tract of land known as the Joseph 1’ratte grant, with tbe Iron Mountain In about the geographical center. This was an old Spanish grant of 20,000 arpenn. or a trifle over 17,030 acres, made to Joseph Pratte when Simin owned all of the territory west of the Mississippi River. The ore, as then exposed, consisted of a cliff or pinnacle two or three acres in extent, rising j»eri>endlcularly to a height of seventy-five feet near tlie cen­ ter of the mountain. The balance of the mountain was covered to a depth of several feet with a porphyry soil, which wns filled with detached pieces of Iron ore. The company’s first work wns In getting out this loose ore, which it did by the process known ns hydrau­ lic mining. A-reservoir wns built on the top of a neighboring mountain; a stream In the valley was dammed, forming a lake of over 100 acres^ both of which are standing intact to-day, monuments of the faith the promoters bad In the permnnoncy of their enter­ prise. The water was pumped to tbe reservoir and thence piped to the Iron mountain, where it was let loose with giant force upon the friable soli, wash­ ing it away and leaving tbe ore to be picked up and hauled to the sdtelter, after the manner of mining on the fa­ mous Comstock lode. Two smelters were erected, and much of tbe orc was smelted on the spot. This wns long before the railroad was built to that point, and the ore and pig Iron was transported by means of mule and ox teams to St. Genevieve, on the Mississippi river, a distance of forty miles, a plank road being constructed for the purpose. From St. Genevieve the Iron wns shipped to St. Louis nnd to manufacturing points up the Ohio river. Somezldea of the magnitude of the company's operations can be gathered from these facts. They were on a gi­ gantic scale. The number of mules und horses necessary to transport the /re reached Into tbe hundreds, and a farm of 1.800 acres was cleared up nnd put under cultivation to provide them hay, oats and pasturage. During its pnlmj' days a small army of men was employed to operate the mine and Its collateral enterprises. For years the regular force consisted of 1/200 em­ ployes, variously disposed in mining, smelting. transj>ortlng and charcoal burning, farming, etc. A city soon sprang up, which at one time had a population of close to 5,000, and for a long period waa the largest, liveliest and most prosperous on tbe Iron Moun­ tain railroad outside of St. Louis itself. The company built a targe hotel, schools, churches, lodgerooms, halls, stores, foundries, machine and carpen­ ter shops, barns and dwelling-houses, and provided everything necessary to a city of this size. In Its prosperous days it would have l>ee® called a boom town, and was one of the best markets St. Louis had. Commission men shipped provisions and produce there in large quantities and of all descriptions, and received what would now be considered enorm­ ous rates. Very little farming was car­ ried on In the vicinity 'in those days, the all-absorbing question being min­ ing. Tbe Bessemer process of smelting was unknown in tbe early period of tbe Iron mountain workings. Charcoal was used exclusively, for tbe burning of which large quantities of timber were required. Luckily, It was close at band. Tbe whole country was heavily timbered, and>oharcoal making was an Important bpanch of the operation?. All tbe timber on tbe original tract of 17.000 acres was soon consumed and additional lands were purchased from time to time, until the holdings of the company reached tbe grand total of 31.000 acres, and practically all of tbe timber on this immense body had been turned into charcoal when tbe Besse­ mer process came into general use. On Its advent smelting at Iron mountain ceased and thenceforward only the ore was shipped. In I860 the company was reorganized.| with tbe following prominent citizens of St Louis as tbe note stockholders: James Harrison. Charles I*. Chouteau, Julia Maffit Jules Valle, Henry Belin and Felix Valle. The period of great­ est activity In working the Iron moun­ tain mine followed this reorganization. The Immense cliff of ore in the center Ing had ever before been heard of, where an enormous body of orc pro­ jected above the surface, and had to be shunted down to terra firms. before It could be loaded and shipped. In ad-. dltlon to tbe ease with which it wns mined It was among tbe highest grade ores ever discovered, averaging 64 per cent of pure Iron, and promised to rev­ olutionize the iron Industry of the country, If It had held out. so easily was it obtained. ’ , For years the great work went on, with no sign of the coming eclipse. Iron mountain, was busy, prosperous nnd the envy of the whole State. Mil­ lions of tons of ore were taken out, money accumulated in the coffers of the stockholders and they waxed rich. Tbe mining had proceeded for per­ haps fifty feet below the level of the mountain* top, when one fine morning the drill struck porphyry. When the iron was‘found to extend down on ojther side of tills formation not much thought was given to It. although It left a hole of many square yards In extent tn the body of orc. Down further and the ore began to branch off into side pockets, running a abort distance Into tbe mountain nnd then giving out. Moro porphyry reared Its bead In the ore body, until It wns all cut up by these Intruders, and nothing was left but pockets here and there. Finally these petered out, when tbe mining had reached a point in tbe mountain about on a level with tbe surrounding val­ ley. and tbe days of the great Iron mountain, the Inexhaustible deposit of ore, were numbered. The scientists and theorists then opined that this was only x detached body of ore. and advanced tbe proposi­ tion that tbe mother lode was near at hand. Repeated borings to enormous depths In all the surroundings country failed to vindicate their theory, and not another trace of Iron was found. The experience of the Pilot Knob Comjfcny near by was similar, and new theories bad to be made fc fit the case aud ac­ count for these large pockets of Iron ore. The latest explanation advanced and now universally accepted Is that these great deposits were aqueous rather than igneous In formation, and consequently no mother lode exists from which they could have been de­ tached. However that may be, after taking out 3,500,000 tons of as rich ore as was ever mined tlie great Iron mountain mine Is no more; Its glories are depart­ ed; Its 1,200 workmen have dwindled to twenty-five, who are now engaged In scraping up and sorting tbe last of the tailings, preparatory to abandoning the works forever. The once busy popula­ tion Is scattered; not fifty of them are left. The churches, schools and lodge­ rooms are deserted. The dwelling­ houses are crumbling on their founda­ tions.

I ~~ Clover Faile on Clover Bod. * Almost all farmers know that it is hot safe to plow a clover sod, or, in fact, any other sod in the fall. and then sow wheat with the expectation of get­ ting a clover catch from seed next spring. There have been various rea­ sons assigned for this, the old one be­ ing that the clover sod while it is rot­ ting In the soil “poisons" the land for clover until the rotting Is completed. But it is quite as impossible to seed •with clover on any newly plowed sod, and that disposes of the clover-poison­ ing theory. The true explanation seems to be that when a sod of any kind is de­ caying under the furrow it allows the soil above it to fail down, thus destroy­ ing the slight hold which the young clover plant has, and obliging It to re­ gain its hold before the leaf wilts and kills the root Clover will come up ■well enough on a clover or any other kind of sod, but unless, there are al­ most constant rains during the spring little of it will live. Even a timothy seeding does not do well on a newly plowed sod, though in young plants the proportion of leaf to root is much less In the grass than it is In any kind of clover. When I wm a boy, father's place be­ came Infested with fleas from pigs sleeping at the barn, and they nearly drove me craay. I heard In some way that salt would kill them.

Since then I hav% cleared our home of them several times. One ap­ plication always does the work. I have also recommended it to others who have used it with equal success. Salt scat­ tered over a carpet and swept off before it melts will clean it of both fleas and dirt. I am never bothered with fleas now unless I get them away from home. 1 know there are many people who would willingly spend the price of a bar­ rel of salt to be rid of the pests, and salt la never falling.—J.

Yale's ’Varsity football eleven was con­ quered on Brokaw Field by the Princeton Tigers Saturday afternoon by 6 to 0, the same figures which prevailed in the Blues’ victory lalit year at New Haven. The touchdown-made by Old Nassau’s eleven was the direct result of a soul-stirring run of 95 yards by little Arthur Poe, in the first half when Yale hnd worked it by fierce line smashing to within fifteen yard* of Princeton’s line. Poe was so quick that he secured a lead of ten yards over tbe nearest Yale men, and maintained this advantage all the way down the field in his mad race to what proved victory. Some persons may call it a fluke. Others may declare that it was poor playing by Yale, while still more may draw the con­ clusion that Poe made one of the most sensational plays ever seen on a football field. But whatever say be said, the fact remains that the whole piece of business comes under the head of football, and that the fortunes of the rival throngs around the gridiron wdnt with this play.

By interfering, the German emperor would risk a conflict with this Government that, if it occurred, would have a painful effect on his war cstablishment, and would, besides, endan­ ger his understanding with England, that promises him rich profits in Africa and China. It is considered probable, therefore, if the Emperor visits Spain, It will be be­ cause Spain is the center of the stage, and he delights to keep in view of the audi­ ence.

The jury had been out for two day*. A ucw trial will doubtless be set for-the April term of court. The doors of the Missouri Na­ tional Bank were closed by the United States bank examiner Oct. 26.1896. The bank had between 2,2fX) and 2.300 depos­ itors, and carried $1,500,(100 in deposits. It failed iq the panic uf July, 1893, but Was promptly reopened. Shortly after the second failure Messrs. Rieger and Coving­ ton were indicted by the grand jury on three counts, embracing- embezzlement, abstraction and willful misapplication of the moneys aud credits of the hank. When National Rank Examiner Foreman took charge of the institution he had Expert E. B. Moxey examine the books. Mr. Moxey was the principal witness for the Govern­ ment.

The Indians, after the massacre, held n dance, getting drunk, and then indulging in n fight among them­ selves over the division of the spoils.

This excellent sheep has been too much neglected by breeders on tills aide ot the ocean. While It Is thought to be a mountain breed its life is spent only in part on verdaoit pastures of the Cheviot hills, for It is bred mostly for crossing by the Leicester* In middle and southern English pastures for the London markets. The cross-bred pro­ duce are excellent feeders anil very popular among the butchers, the mut­ ton being of the first quality and hav­ ing the flesh marbled with fat, rather than covered with IL and is thus tender and juicy.

If any. one doubts this. Jet him put two I’oland-Chlna, Berkshire, Cheater-White, Duroc, Jer­ sey or any of our recognised breeds of hogs in two different pens, feed one all the com he can eat until fat, and the other boiled potatoes, milk, barley qy wheat ground fine and some pea meal until fat (the old country way). Kill both, put in dry salt for six or seven weeks, then take out and wash, and hang It.up in tbe kitchen or drying bouse until thoroughly dried; then cut off a good, big chunk and boll It, let it sth nd till cold; then cut off a few slices, and you will see the corn-fed meat Is not so firm. Is more oily", and not so many streaks of lean as meat fed on barley, potatoes, milk, etc., and this is all tbe difference you or any one else can detect. Cats Arpund Barna. The habit which many people have of petting cats and keeping them close by the kitchen fire very soon destroys the hunting instinct aud makes the cat good for nothing as a mouser. On the farm especially, theproper place for a cat is at the barn, where It can make itself useful killing tbe mice or rpjs that destroy the grain. It Is a mistake to suppose that a cat will suffer from cold while thus employed. Exercise will keep tho blood circulating, and the cat will be quite ns warm If kept dry as It would be dozing by tbe fire, and breathing tbe vitiated air that is al­ ways found near the Coors of dwell­ ings. The cat will usually. If there is a chair or a bed In the room, make that her resting place. MIEE0E0F MICHIGAN FAITHFUL RECOUNTING OF HER LATEST NEWS. Decision on New Tax Title Law— Strait* Salnnd far a Nickel—Hanan a Poor Speller—Advance in Value of Copper Mining Property, The Supreme Court has construed In the case of Pierpont vs. Osman, the new law ot 1897, relative to tax titles, Pierpont purchased at the annual Mile in 1807, at the County Treasurer’s office in Hhiswas•ec County, certain lands held by Osmun for the delinquent taxes of 1894. A cer­ tificate of foreclosure was issued and the lands not having been redeemed the certi­ ficate of foreclosure was surrendered to the Auditor General and a deed issued un­ der date of Feb. 14,'1898. Demand for possession was made by Pierpont, and up­ on it being refused Judge Smith was ask­ ed for a writ of assistance.,<■'The defend­ ant, Osmun, showed that he had tendered the petitioner the full amount paid by-him, with the additional charges provided by act 229 of the public acts of 1897, but the circuit judge granted the writ and tbe de­ fendant appealed. The Supreme Court, in affirming the judgment of the lower court, holds that the law of 1897 does not extend to costs where tbe purchase wns made prior to the time when the law took effect, even though the title was not acquired from the Auditor General until, after the law was in force. ’ Island Sold for Five Chats.

While the roller Is a good implement for fining and smoothing the surface soil, it can very rarely be used effect­ ively after winter grain is sown. Al­ most all farmers agree that If soil Is heavy, it will produce better crops of winter grain If tbe soil Is left rough after It Is seeded. All tbe lumps are dissolved by winter freezing, and they furnish tbe fine, rich dust that Is need­ ed to fall upon tbe roots as they have been lifted up by frost. Tbe only con­ ditions when rolling is helpful to winter grain are when tbe noil is light, and liable to blow away In winter. In such case the rolling should be done as soon as the grain is sown. It will pack the light soil around tbe roots, and thus cause the wheat to make enough growth so as to partially protect Itself from winter killing, and will lessen the effects of winds in blowing away sur­ face Mil.

Despite thv'.r disagreeable effects as breath perfumers, the com mon onion Is much the most healthful vegetable grown, and all would be healthier If onions cooked in some way were a part of the daily diet Drinking milk after the onion will to n great extent absorb the odor. Those farmers who grow and use many onions keep tbeir health bet­ ter than do those who are too dainty to eat this vegetable. In southern Europe raw onions are eaten as part of the dully meal, laying a slice of onion on the bread and ihen biting through both together. Tbe Spaniards have a very mild onion that Is quite commonly eaten thus. The Demand for Quince*. . There Is a poor apple crop this year In most places, and as a result there Is very little demand for quinces, whose use as a fruit seems more to give flavor to the apple sauce than to be eaten by itself. The quince Is A very rich fruit, and Is also hard, even when thoroughly cooked. It Is therefore difficult of di­ gestion. But a few pieces of quince ent thin and placed Ln apple pie will give R a delicious flavor, such as no apple sauce could have without IL -----------' Variety of Feed for Mock. In feeding stock of any kind It Is im­ portant that it be furnished a variety of food. This Is not merely a matter of flavor, for different kinds of food fur­ nish usually different nutrition.

In short, Barbara, he ac­ euses me of the unspeakable baseness of being bribed by you to let you retain your position at Elsdnle Castle.” “How hotrible!” “Horrible, indeed!” Mark rejoined. “He has used his knowledge most cruelly and Ignobly.

Great tears rose in her eyes and rolled down her cheeks. Then, as one in a.dream, she passed out Into the corridor of the hotel, leaving him ■Alone in the dim room. “I am much obliged to the owner of the shawl,” she said, with almost feverish gayety. "Come, Everard—it is my favor­ ite *My Queen’ waltz. It would be a shameful waste of opportunity to miss it?’ ; “Come, then!" ' "No step suits mine so well ns yours,” she murmured, as they glided over the polished floor amdng-thc circling dancers, many of whom paused to watch them as they danced; and Barbara, even though her heart was breaking, danced as lightly and gracefully as ever. As the music was dying away Everard drew her cleverly out of the circle of dancers; he saw that her eyes were half closed, her colorless lips parted; he no­ ticed that she rested heavily against his arm. "Y’ou are faint, love!” he said, anxious­ ly, and, though the faintness of death It­ self seemed coming over her, she roused herself to smile at him. “Faint? Oh, no—a little exhausted! I shall not dance again yet. Take me back to the oak hall, Everard; I want a breath of fresher air.” Without any remonstrance he led her back to the quiet, dimly lighted hall, and she sank heavily into her old place on the settee. “Now go back to the ballroom," she said, with a pretty, imperious gesture. "Y’ou will find me here if you don’t be­ tray my hiding place.” Half an hour later, when he returned to the oak hall, it was empty; the white shawl was no longer on the settee, and Barbara had disappeared. “I hope the child has gone to bed,” ho murmured, as he turned, and made his way back to the ballroom, noting, as he passed through the conservatories which led thither, bow dark the night was and how few stars were shining in the win­ try sky. The dancing went on gayly, the soft, dreamy waltz music rose and fell; the brightness died out of eyes which a few hours before bad vied with diamonds of purest water, the color waned In fair, rounded cheeks; and outside in the quiet shrubbery, in the chill darkness, a dead face lay upturned to the sky, serene and still, with a faint smile lingering on Its livid lips; and but one man now shared Barbara's secret. She was no longer at Walter Bryant’s mercy. CHATTER XVIII. It was late on the morning after the theatricals when an under-gardener inI>ady Rose’s employ came upon the silent figure and upturned marble-like face in the shubbery; and, startled mid terrified, he rushed to moke known bis discovery. In the great dining room Lady Rose's large party of guests—those of them at least who had put In an appearance—were discussing their meal in a desultory fash­ ion, and talking among themselves of the events of the previous night.

Meanwhile Lord Chcveley and his friends had hurried to the sbrabbrty, and stood with awed looks gazing on the mo­ tionless form lying there, ou the upturned dead face which had been so handsome in life, which was so handsome in death— Wffker Bryant’s face. He had been dead many hours, said the doctor who had been hastily summoned from Arlington; death had been instanta­ neous and painless; the only wound was a small one by the aide of the temple, where a small quantity of Wood had coagulated. There was no trace of any struggle; the grass was untrodden, the dead man’s at­ tire was in perfect order. He were his ■tephanotis—in tbe buttonhole was there still, faded and dead. The eyes were half closed; a faint smile hovered about hia lips. So terrible an event necessarily led to the breaking up of the party; and before dusk the old house was nhu^ffi deserted, save by a few of. Lord Chevcley’s bach­ elor friends, Captain Adams among the number. Lady Rose was completely prpstrated; she had fainted upon Barbara's shoulder, and had been carried to her own apart­ ments, whither Barbara had followed her, herself pale as death, but quite composed and able to give Lady Rose the assistance she so greatly needed. CHAPTER XIX. Early in tbe afternoon snow began to fall, and tb£n daylight faded. When Barbara left Lady Rose's room at four o'clock, the darkness without was as night, and for two hours the lamps had been burning in "my lady’s corridor." For almost as long a time Lord Keith had been waiting tjicre for his fiancee; and now, as she came slowly toward him, he rose from his chair and went forward with both hands outstretched. The girl put hers into them in silence. “At Instr’ he exclaimed, in a glad tone of relief. "I thought I was not going to see you again. My darling”—his voice ex­ pressing extreme concern and solicitude— "how 111 you look! This has been terrible for you. I wish I had taken you away. Y’ou look worn out.” He put his arm round her fondly, hold­ ing her close to him for a moment; then he led her toward one of the cushioned seats in the window. But she drew back. “Not there!” she said, trembling in ev­ ery limb. “Not there, Everard!" A look of surprise passed over his face. “As you will, my darling," he said, gently. "Shall we go down to the morn­ ing room? There is no one there. Bar­ bara, how you tremble, my poor child!” "Don’t." she murmured, shrinking a lit­ tle—“don’t, Everard, or you will make me cry. and I dare not----- ’* The morning room, a large, low-ceiled room, hung in faded green brocade and with on old-world grace of its own, was bright with fire and candle light as Lord Keith put Barbara into a chair near the fire and rang for some tea. “You are cold and .weary, dear," he said. “We have neglected you, I fear.” Barbara smiled faintly, but said noth­ ing; and there was silence until the tea waa brought in. The slight refreshment revived her a little; she raised herself from the cushions and assumed a more upright attitude. When Lord Keith approached her with a second cup of tea. she thanked him, put the cup on a table by her side, and looked up nt him with a faint smile. "Everard.” she Mid, toying with the great diamond ring on her finger. "Yes, tny darling.” "Has anything been----- " The words died away on' her lips; but he understood bow she would have finished her sen­ tence. "Nothing has been discovered, love,” he replied. "The whole affair is wrapped in mystery.” "He was—quite dead?" “Quite dead, dear. Tilbot says that dentil was instantaneous and painless." "And—and—self-inflicted?" she queried faintly. Lord Keith’s grave face grew yet more grave. "No," he answered. “We all thought so at first, unlikely though it seemed that a matf so strong and well and apparently so free from care should attempt his own life; but that theory soon evaporated.” "Howr “There was no weapon found near h'm, dear." "Ah.

The report shows that tbe *flying squad­ ron." under Schley, was ordered to Cicnfuegos upon notice that Cervera’s squad­ ron had been seen off Curacao. But ou May 20 the department, having heard that Cervcra was at Santiago, advised Ramp- • non to order Schley to proceed off tKit port. On the 2flth Sampson received from Schley a letter dated the 23d stating that be wan not satisfied that the Spanish squadron was not at Ctailnegos aud that he would therefore remain off that point with his squadron. The next day Schley was informed that Cervfera had been in Santiago from the 19th to the 25th, and he was directed to proceed, with all dis­ patch to that port. At this time he tele­ graphed Sampson, under date of the 24th, that conliug off Cienfnegos was very un­ certain; that the Spanish fleet was not in Cienfnegos; that he would go eastward ou the 25th. but that on account of short coal supply he could not blockade if Cervera was in Santiago, but would go to Nicho­ las Mole to communicate. Upon receiving this information Sampson decided to go to Key West for coal at once. and. if author­ ized. to proceed to Santiago in person. Schley left Cienfnegos on the 24lh aud Mopped ou the following day twenty miles southeast of Santiago to repair the col­ lier Merrimac.

The insurgents mean­ while haff resume*! the active hostilities suspended by the uncompleted truer of December, 1897.

I: was fitting that whatever was to be done in the way of decisive <>|M*rations in thnt quarter should be accomplished by the strong arm .of the United slates alone. ' Following the comprehensive sriteinc of general attack, powerful forces were as­ sembled st various points on rtnr coast to Invade Cuba nfid 1’orto Rico. Mean­ while naval demonstrations were made at several exposed {mints. May 11 the cruiser Wilmington and torpedo boat Winslow were unsuccessful in an attempt to silence the batteries at Cardenas and Matanzas, Worth, Bagley and four sea­ men falling. Meanwhile the Spanish naval prepara­ tions had been pushed with great vigor. A powerful squadron under Admiral Cervern. which had assembled at the Cape Verde Islands before the outbreak of hostilities, hud crossed the ocean, and by its erratic movements in the Caribbean Sea delayed onr military operations while baffling the pursuit of our fleets. Not until Admiral Cervera took refuge in the harbor of Santiago de Cuba about May 9 was it practicable to plan a systematic military attack upon the Antillean pos­ sessions of Spain. Several demonstrations occurred on the coast of Cuba .and Porto Rico in'prepara­ tion for the larger event. On May 13 the North Atlanta squadron shelled San Juan de Porto Rico. On May 30 Commodore Schley’s squadron bombarded the forts guarding the mouth ot Santiago harimr.’ Neither attack had any material result. Hobson’* Daring Act. The next act in the war thrilled not alone the hearts of our countrymen, but the world, by its exceptional heroism. On the night of June 3 Lieutenant Hob»QB; aided by seven devoted volunfeers, block­ ed the narrow outlet front Santiago har­ bor by sinking the collier Merrimac in the channel, under a fierce fire from the shore batteries, escaping with their lire* n* by a miracle, but falling into the hands of the Spaniards. They were sub­ sequently exchanged July 7. Br June 7 the cutting of the lost Cuban ('able Isolated Jfec island. Thereafter the invasion was vigorously flTOitacuted. On June 10, under a heavy protecting fire, a landing of 60 marine's from the Oregon. Marblehead and Yankee, was effected in Guantanamo Bay, where It had been de­ termined to establish a naval station. Thia important and esesntial port was taken from the enemy after severe fight­ ing By the marines, who were the first or­ ganized force of the United States to land in Cuba. The position so won was held despite desperate atempts to dis­ lodge our forces. By June 16 additional forces were landed and strongly intrench­ ed. On June 22, rhe advance of tlu in­ vading army under Major General Shaft­ er landed at Baiquiri, about fifteen miles east of Santiago. Tills was arrompliahed under great difficulties, but with marvel­ ous dispatch. On June 23 the movement against Santiago was begun. On the 24th the first serious engagement took place, in which the First and Tenth Cavalry and the First United States Volunteer Cavalry, General Young’s brigade of General Wheeler’s division, participated, losing heavily. By nightfall, however, ground within five miles of Santiago was won. The advantage uas steadily inerease& On July 1 a severe battle took place, onr forces gaining the outwork of Santiago; on the 2d El Caney and San Juan were token after a desjiemte charge, and the investment of the city was completeil. The navy co-operated by shelling the town and coast forts. Destraction of'Cervera’* Fleet. On the day following this brilliant achievement of our land forces. July 3, occurred the decisive naval combat of the war. The Spanish fleet, attempting to leave the harbor, was met by the Ameri­ can squadron, under command of Com­ modore Sampson. In hw than three hours nirtbc Spanisli shijm were destroy­ ed. the two torpedo boats being sunk and the Maria Teresa. Almiraate Oquendo, Vizcaya and Cristobal Colon driven ashore. The Spanish admiral and .>v<«rb thirteen hundred men were taken prison­ ers. while the enemy’s loan nf life was de­ plorably large, some <MM> perishing. On our side but one man was killed, on the Brooklyn, and one man seriously wound­ ed. Although our ship* were repeatedly struck, not one was seriously injured. Where all so conspicuously distinguish­ ed themselves, from the commanders to the gunners and the unnnme<| neloes in the botier-nMims, each and all contribut­ ing toward the achievement of this oxtuunding victory, for which neither an­ cient nor modern history affords a par­ allel in the comnleteney of the event and the marvelous di.qiropdrtion of casualties, it would be invidious to single out nny for especial honor. Deserved promotion has rewarded the more conspicuous actors— the nation’s profoundest gratitud Is due to all of those brave men who by their skill and devotion in a few short hours crushtnl the su-a power of Rpain and wrought a triumph whose decisiveness and far-reaching oonsequepeca can scarcely be measured. Ndr can we be un­ mindful of tbe achlevementa of onr build­ ers. mechanics and artisans for their skill in the construction of our warships. With the catastrophe of Santiago Spain’s effort ui»on the ocean virtually ceased. A spasmodic effort toward the end of June to send her Mediterranean fleet under Admiral Camara to relieve Manila was abandoned, the expedition Ix-ing recalled after it had pnsscfl through' the Suez Canal. Capitulation of fantlago. The capitulation of Santiago followed. The city was closely besieged by land, while the entrance of our ships into the harbor cut off nil relief on that side. After n truce to allow of the removal of m>n-eombtitanta, protracted negotiations continued from July 3 until July 15. when, under menace of immediate as­ sault, the preHminaries of surrender were agreed npon. On the 17th General Shaf­ ter occupied the city. The capitulation embraced rhe entire eastern end of Culm. •The number of Spanish soldiers surrendcred was 22.000, ml! of whom were sub­ sequently conveyed to Spain at the charge of the United States. The story of this succeaaful campaign is told in the report ot ‘-he Secretary of War, which will be laid liefore you. The individual valor of officers and soldi<Ts was never more strikingly shown than in the several (•ngogementa leading to the surrender of Santiago, while the prompt movements and successive victor­ ies won instant and universal applause.

It Is this even temperature that saves pear trees on clay soils to a great extent from ’he blight which is so frequent where the soil is sandy or gravelly.

Pens for Raising Pigs. It Is not necessary to have costly pens !n which to raise pigs. There are enough loose boards lying around every farm to make at least one or two good cheap places for the sows. A correspon­ dent tells how to make them after the style of a chicken coop., They should be built on runners so they can be mov­ ed with a horse to any place you want I them. If the ground is dry. no floors are needed, but If not dry floors will be better. 1 The door should be made In one end pnd placed to face the south In order to enteffi the sunshine.

That coal ashes are beneficial when spread on the surface of apple orchards in grass cannot be disputed. But they contain scarcely any mineral fertilized, and arc. of course, having passed through fire, destitute of any other. Undoubtedly they benefit by setting as a mulch, and where they cover grana causing it to die out and rot. In this way they supply considerable fertility axjd moisture indirectly. Wherever coal ashes have tong lain under fruit trees there wiH be an abundance of tree roots just under the ashes where the grass has been killed.

Turnips Need Moist Climate. The principal reason why turnips are not popular iu this country, even' among those English farmers who al­ ways used to grow them in England, is because our summers are almost al­ ways too hot and generally also too dry. in hot weather, if moist, worms breed in the turnips, unless they are gathered and sold while small as mar­ ket gardeners do. If.tbe weather turns dry for any long time, the turnip be- ' comes pithy and worthless. * SAGINAW ThQ Greatest Success of the Age Sold in Nashville only by E. Liebhauser, iKiilne! Diseases Plow Evener. As a rule, farmers when they went to plow get any evener without measuring the length, and then their plow does not run steady, while their neighbor may have the same kind of plow and It runs all right.

Three essentials of modern roadbuild­ lug are the road machine, for grading, shaping and preparing the roadbed; tiie stone crushir, which may often .advan­ tageously be portable, with outfit for breaking tbe stone, and an efficient road roller, preferably a steam roller • ot aliout twelve tons weight.

B. Shirley, who came down fra* Springfield. The jury indicted fifty­ person*, among whom were Manager Lrtvnn of the Chieago-Virdcn Goal Com­ pany and John R. Tanner, Governor of the State of Illinois. There orc three counts against Mr. Lukens for alleged murder and manslaughter, nnd those against Gov. Tanner are "for palpable neglect of duty as an officer, and mal­ feasance in office.” Thi* latter indictment recites the whple trouble at Virden, how the k!ieriff called for troops, the appeal the manager of the Chicago-Virden Coal Company made to the^Gorernor to send, troops, the riot that followed, apd tjta killing of the fourteen men.

Congress Asked for nn Annual Appro­ priation of $200,000. IJcut. W. H. Southerland of the United States navy, who was in general charge of the naval militia during the late war, asks Congress for an annnal appropria­ tion of $200,000 to foster tlds branch of our reserve force. In Ills report, submitted to the Secretary of the Navy, Lieut Southerland gives a comprehensive history of the work per­ formed by the naval militia in the opera­ tions against Spain. Of the total force of 24,123 enlisted men employed in the navy, 4,216 were mustered in from the na4w) militia organization*, of which number about 2.600 served in the regular, navy, the remainder in the auxiliary naval force and coast signal service. Tbe nontenant praises the troops more for their zeal than efficiency. The war clearly demonstrated, he believe*, tbe im­ perative necessity for’the maintenance of a national naval reserve Ln the organ­ ization of which too much reliance must not be placed upon the merchant marine alone. GRANT GILLETT RUN DOWN. Kansas Cattle King Said to Have Been Arrested. Grant C. Gillett, the Kansas cattle&ian who, after a meteoric career, skipped out after floating $2,000,000 worth of value­ less paper, is said by the representatives of the creditors to be under arrest at Chi­ huahua, in Old Mexico. It is stated that n message received from the northern bor­ der of Old Mexico conveyed information of Gillett’s whereabout* and asked what proportion of the money found on him would be given his captors if they turned him up. An officer was seut to Mexico to take charge of Gillett on a cbrfrge of for­ gery and an application for extradition papers wa* made. Among the item* in the campaign ex­ pense bill of Hon. I*. S.

From thia she bad passed Into a heavy sleep of exhaustion; and, when she had awoke, Mra. Fairfax, who had watched by her all night, found ber calm and ap­ parently quite recovered, while the lan­ guor of her movements nnd ber deathlike pallor were easily accounted for by hei illness the previous night. No explanation had taken place between her and Lord Elsdale. Lord Keith’s hur­ ried departure from the castle had told the eari all, and a great anger and a great sorrow filled hi* heart; but Barbara her­ self raid nothing—still the look of patient resignation in’the girl’* lustrous eyes wa* terrible to see. The coroner began hit questioning of Barbara. "You were acquainted with the deceas­ ed gentleman. Mira Hatton?” he began. Barbara inclined her head in tiie affirm­ ative. "You met him?” rai^ Mr. Derrington in a tone of Interrogation. "I met him here." Barbara answered firmly nnd quietly. "You did not know him before meeting him at Dariey Hall?’ “I did not." » "Had you ever seen him previous to thnt time?” “Yes. I had seen him.” "May I n»k where?” “At Stourtou. He was acting there.” "Did you recognize him when you came to Dariey. or did he recall the circum­ stance to you?” “I recognized him.” "Did you have any private converaation with him?” "Yes." Barbara answered steadily, al­ though her lips were parched and jm her heart was throbbing to suffocation. "On more than one occasion?" "On more than one occasion.” "Did your conversation relate to the play?’ “It did not.” "Can you tell me to what it related? You mutt pardon the appareat'intrualv ness of the question, Slis* Hatton, but my duty is imperative.” "He spoke to me on an entirely private matter,” the girl replied, raising her eyes frankly to Mr. Derrington’s. “It concern­ ed ourselves alone." "Then are we to conclude thnt you were on rather intimate term*?' - ."No," Barbara answered, mastering her emotion only, by a strong effort of self­ control. "we were not on intimate terms, Mr. Dcrrinton; but an unlucky chance had put Mr. Walter Bryant In poMesafon of a secret of mine, and on more than one oc­ casion he threatened me with ita. expo­ sure.” "He threatened yon?" questioned Mr. Derrington. "Yes,” Barbara answered calmly. "Then yon did not wi*b the secret to be known?’ said Mr. Derrington. "It was a secret.” the girl replied, with another faint smile. “Which would have harmed you if it had been made public?’ "Yes,” Barlatra answered; then sudden­ ly the significance which her hearer* would give to her word* seemed to strike her; she began to tremble exceedingly, and sank backward in ber chair, staring helplessly at the coroner’s grave, disturb­ ed face, and her breath coming in quick, hurried gasps.

Much excitement prevails at Harrietta over a discovery of what appears to tie a flow of natural gas. The discovery was made on the farm of George Anderson, two miles from town. While putting down a drive well, and at a depth of 150 feet, a gaseous current escaped from the pipe with considerable force. As the drill goes deeper the flow seems stronger and has more force.

When staid business men. 'shrewd commission bouse owners, conservative bankers and Investors can be Induced to lend their money and name to the schemes of a man of only 31 years old, who three years pgo wtfs a farm boy, and find that they nre out nearly $1,000,­ 000, there is reason for wonder. Such has been the experience of. some of the best business men In the West In con­ nection with the cattle king. Grant Gor­ don Gillett. His spectacular career and the meteoric methods which marked his history are among the striking Inci­ dents of the West, and he vjill rank with Coal Oil Johnny and other plutigers of financial record. Forty years ago a young Englishman came to the prairies of central Kansas and settled on the rich Lyon Creek bot­ toms... His name was James A. Gillett, and he married, raised a family of five children. grFw wealthy, and was one of the county’s officers. On bls place the Bock Island started the town of Wood­ bine. and he became a local nabob. Ton years ago he died. A few months later a woman came from England and claimed the estate for herself and daughter, saying that hi* had married her In bis youth, and that lie deserted her when he came to this country. There was a lawsuit and a compro­ mise: then the remainder of the estate was divided among the children of the Kansas wife and the. widow. Grant, the youngest'child, took his money, and in two years had spent It all. He fell in love with the pretty oper­ ator at the station and they were mar­ ried, he securing a position as station agent in a little town In Marion Coun­ ty, while his wife was operator. One day be disappeared, and It was said that bo had defrauded a grain dealer with cars over-weighed. In a year he was back, the matter was fixed up. and he went to work on his mother’s farm. His wife left him, and he secured a di­ vorce. marrying the village schoolmis­ tress. Amanda Baumteugb. the daugh­ ter of a River Brethren farmer, fifteen miles away. » Things went along quietly hntll three years ago. when stories began to circu­ late that Grant Gillett was getting rich out of cattle. He came to the county seat one day and went to a number of business men and showed them his bank book—there was a lialance of $40,000. It surprised them, and ho was the talk of the county. He showed his bank l»ook to everybody, and bragged a great deal about the money he . was making. He had done this: He Went down to Texas and contracted for 5.000 head of feeders. Then he went to Kansas City and borrowed the money to buy them; he got It. shipped them north and sold them .to farmers In small bunches. jCattle were taking the first spurt up-wanl. and before he knew It he had made $5 to $8 a head on them, and bad •tarted on a career of plunging. ' Established a* "Cattle King." His next step was to buy 10,000 bead in a bunch. When it came time to go alter them he did not allow his men to it, but went in person. He organ­ ized among the cattlemen on Ills ranch a band of thirty pieces and dressed the men in cowboy costume. On the day that he started for the cattle he took a party of friends In a special car, took the band in another, serenaded the neighbors, and then gave orders for the train to atari on Its triumphant tour. Arrived in Fort Worth he went to rhe hotel, paid all the bills and had the band play in the rotunda. He marched with them and frequently ordered them ■to play new tunes. The band was his ’Wife’s Idea. She is very fond of music, and when the proposition was made to her to have the cowboys play for the ranch she fell in with It heartily. Jn person Gillett Is a strong, athletic and bluff young man. with blue eyes, prominent gold-filled teeth and dressed 1n good style. He always attracted at­ tention to himself on train or in depot. It was no uncommon thing for him to show his bank l>ook to strangers on a train on the slightest provocation or without anv provocation. He liked to make a show of his possessions, and had a number of diamonds that wore used for pocket pieces. He brought the first chaluless bicycle Into Central Kansas, au.l was about to have a horseless carriage to ride from ranch to ranch. His home waf the old farm­ house built by his father, but he added to it a large barn, the beat lu the coun­ ty, acres of sheds, an elevator, and was about to open a bank in the little vil­ lage. There is on empty building good enough for a town of 15.0G0 ready for It. Gillett bad a special love for making blmsclf conspicuous around the rail­ road. Having been an employe on one, it came to him naturally. Sometimes fee wotrtd meet a man on the train and made a deal of $50,000 in ten minutes; then turn over in his seat and go to Bleep. One day he was to start for Texas with some friends, and ft was neces­ sary to take a freight train for a short distance. They missed the train and the friends wanted to go home till the morrow. But he hired au engine and caboose aud followed the freight until he'caught It. Often he would hire an engine and ride with the engineer for miles where he wanted to go and make a deal. Last spring he invited the Gov­ ernor of the State to be hi* guest and took him to Woodbine on a special train. There the party was entertained and driven In carriages until late In the afternoon. The day’s pleasure cost him $200 or jnore, but It gave him an advertisement that was probably worth more than that to hkn. As his business doubled up and he shipped trainloads of cattle he became ambitious to have something that would be an Investment He settled on life insurance, and, calling In agents, gave liberal orders for policies writ­ ten on the tontine plan—twenty pay­ ments for the most part. His splendid physique made him an easy subject and the companies were glad to get him. Last year he took out several policies, amounting to about $00,000, but that was too slow for him, nnd he last spring took out one for $10,000 Jn a lump; In the summer came another for $50,000; a few weeks ago one for $25,000, nnd on the day he left for parts unknown he took $2u.u00 in accident In­ surance. cows In the Indian Territory Is mort­ gaged for $175 a head In this way. A farmer came rushing Into the courthouse a few days after the failure aud called for the sheriff. “I want help," harried. “A lot of men are out at my place taking off my cattle—30G head that I have given my notes for. and which I can pay when they are due. I have fed them all rhe fall, and It will ruin me If they take them- from me.” A search was made for the mort­ gage that the men claimed was oh rec­ ord and it was there. The farmer was bolding the twig, and had been feeding some one elite's cattle all the fait The marvelous feature about bU char­ acter Is not that be was able to fool the farmers of bls own country, who bad. known of the fine standing of bls fam­ ily and bad faith In his success. It was that he could borrow money from the conservative business men of Kan­ sas City. St. Louis and other Western cattle centers without any Investigation that amounted to a complete showing of his real standing. Resourceful Under DifficultiesHe was hard pressed for the first time last spring, but it made no differ­ ence In his living. He hired more men and began the erection of new build­ ings. One day be was allied on to pay $100,000 in a week. He went to Denver and then to Kansas City, to Chicago and to St. Louis, as fast as special trains could carry him*and in the end did what he wanted to do—raised enough to tide him over his trouble. But right on top of that came the fa­ mous Stribbllng deal. This was one of the most notable deals on the range in the cattle history of the West. Gillett formed a plan for the purchase of all the cattle on the Stribbllng ranch, in­ cluding all of one brand. It was to take $300,000 to swing It. nnd In order to make sure the Immense deal he paid down one-tenth of that sum—$30,000. The time of the option passed, and he could not make the raise, and at last he came to the final day and begged and pleaded in vain with the commis­ sion men to help hlrn out. So be sat and watched the clock turn to noon and thought ot the fortune that was slip­ ping away from him lu the ranch lots at Amarillo. The blow was the first he had received, but it was not to be the last, for things went from that to worse. After this he tried the Northwest and made a trip to Oregon, where be ar­ ranged for another large herd—15.000 head. In this deal he managed to get to­ gether about the same amount that he GILLETT’S FAMOUS COWBOY BAND. IDs methods were simple, almost not­ ably so. He began well, and for two years met all his paper with exemplary promptness. Then began the consum­ mation of his scheme to make wealth rapidly. It is a story that bears directly on the dangers of cattle paper invest­ ments when made without careful and full examination. Associated with him were his brothers-in-law, those of his wife's side and those of his sister’s marriage. Then be took up one or two young men who Had no'vlslble means of support nnd made them apparently rich in a few months. One young man was a poor boy just out of a struggle to complete a law course In the State university. Ho sold him cattle and then bought them back again until he had made him worth $10,000. But he also has the young man’s name on paper. to the amount of $5)0,000. His relatives had the same blind faith in him. and they tried to keep pace with him in vain. They signed papers wherever he told them, and they often had the pa­ lters In blank when they signed them, j and then Gillett filled them lu and sold , the patter to the commission men. One day he went to a firm In Kansas City and told them be had a buyer for ■ $15,000 worth of stock. The flrm went out in the ranis and Iwjught the cattle, loaded thetj>'&boinrd..tlie cars and took I a mortgage from Gillett for the whole j amount. He took the cattle to Alma. Kan., ami sold them to the customer and put the money In -ids pocket in­ stead of sending it to Hie commission men. The flrm will take the stock and leave the feeder without a dollar. What a Beautiful System! Gillett used to buy big droves of cat­ tle. several thousand bead at a time. He invariably gave a mortgage for the purchase price, ami then took the herd to Wbodblne to split them up Into small droves for the little feeders who had small lots of corn and roughness. The farmers flocked around him as if he were a god. and bung on bls words. He would step up to one and say. “Well, what do you want here?" “Why. Mr. Gillett, 1 thought I would look to see If you have anything that I want." “Look then: I have no time to talk to you.” and be would leave to see an­ other customer. In that way lie sold the very cattle be wanted to and at hi* own price, usually more than the farmer would have paid anywhere else. The farmer paid $2 to $5 a head more than Grant did for the stock, and.the theory was that he would feed them and'sell them at a good profit In the spring. He would give his note to Gil­ lett. and It was supposed that Gillett would send the note to take <he place of the one that be bad given on the whole lot of cattle. Often he “over­ looked’' this, and of late seems to have done so intentionally, for there are cat­ tle mortgaged five deep. One bunch of THE APPEAL OF THE BOOK. The Cleveland Library League and What It la Doing. The- Library League of Cleveland Is a most interesting Institution, and It is pleasant to see that it is extending )p other cities. All children of school age are eligible to it, and there .ye no initia­ tion fees, and no memberabn> dues; and In many cases the members obtain the use of public library books at an earlier age than they otherwise would. They wear a distinctive badge, and sign a pledge which binds them to handle books carefully—not to .mark them, or turn down the corners of leaves, or to misuse them m any way. In Cleveland, at the end of nine months from the organization of the so­ ciety, fifteen thousand children had been enrolled, and the league had bad a decidedly Improving effect upon the patronage of the public library. To most people one of the interest­ ing things about this league Is the “ap­ peal of the book’’ which Is printed on the book-mark used by the society. It Is the pathetic, and In most cases effec­ tive, request of the book to -be welltreated by the reader. It runs as fol­ lows: Please don’t handle me with dirty bands. I should feel ashamed to be seen when the next boy borrowed me. Or leave me out In the rain. Books can catch cold as well as children. Or make marks on me with your pen or pencil. It would spoil my looks. Or lean your elbows on me when you are reading me. It hurts. Or open me and lay mo face down oa the table. You wouldn’t like to be treated so. Or put between my leaves a pencil or anything thicker than a single sheet of paper. It would strain my back. Whenever you are done reading me, If you are afraid of losing your plade, don’t turn down the corner of one of my leaves, but have a neat little book­ mark to put In where you stopped, and then close me and lay me down on my side, so that I can have a good, com­ fortable rest liemember that I want to visit a great many other little boys after you are done with me. Besides, I may meet you again some day, and you would be sorry to see me looking old and torn and soiled. Help me to keep I fresh and clean, and I will help you to ! be happy.—Youth’s Companion. THE ROMAN COLUMN. New Form of Athletic Exercise Which Delights Fat Women. A new Instrument of exercise Is the Roman column. The principal muscles used are the abdominal, grolu and quadriceps, r.ud It is warranted a sure cure for the woman who Inclines to fat aud who is losing the graceful curves of her waist line, as well as for her sister of the too prominent abdo­ men, that bane of the fleshy. Of course it isn’t an easy exercise for a beginner to bang head downward, wand in hand, but it Is the fat woman's delight, for it accomplishes for her what all the obesity cures in the world have failed to do. Women who want to be healthy and beautiful no longer have recourse to drugs atid lotions. They know that bad attempted to got on the other and placed the cattle where they would be fed. "but be did not pay over to the commission men nnd the investors all of the notes that he got from the feed­ ers. They are probably out in the hands of innocent parties, a ad must be paid dollar for dollar by somebody. How a growth of $2,000,000 or more could thus grow Is easy to l»e seen. Surely It did grow.ami there was a constantly piling up ball of mortgages in all the counties of central Kansas—when it got too large he. had to drop II Tlie extent to which Gillett dragged others down with him is remarkable. In his home county he nnd those of his family nnd people associated with him have on record over $2,G00.0(X) worth of cattle paper unreleased. Much of this has been paid and not released, and other Is blanket paper that will really amount to a duplication. But there is not less than $1.300.(XX) worth of paper there. Then there Is the Oregon deal and the Oklahoma deals that will make the total not less than $2,000,000. There should be to settle for this at least 00.­ 000 cattle, but It Is going to be very lucky If there are 40.000 to he found, owing to the system of duplicating mortgages that he put in force. Gillett’s own name is on over $1,000,000 worth Jn central Kansas, and no one knows how much elsewhere. Kansas has had many meteoric ca­ reers In business and In politics, but Gillett has won the distinction of hav­ ing made the most tremendous failure of them all—If not In the entire West­ In his line of business. The splendor of his living, his nabob manners, the methods b«y which a raw country boy Imposed on the keen business men. who had been In the cattle traffic ten times as long as ho. how be could.

The necessity that there shall be only one man who “has the soy” in a military command Is thoroughly recogulaed In the United States army. A story is told of General Shafter, late commander of the American expedi­ tionary force for the Invasion of Cuba, which illustrates the punctilio of the regulars In this regard. At a certain frontier post at which Shafter, who then held an Inferior rank, was commander many years ago. a discussion arose among several offi­ cers as to the exact time of day. A captain, with his watch in his hand, said: . “It Is now exactly three G"dock.” “Oh, no.” said a lieutenant "by my time It’s eight minutes past three.” A third officer drew bls watch out of his pocket ”1 know my time Is exact­ ly right,” be said, “and my watch says two minutes past three." At this juncture Major Shafter look­ ed at his silver watch. "I don’t know wbat your watches say,” he remarked, “but I wish you to understand that In this command It is five minutes past three." Then the young officers remembered that the'authorlty of the commanding officer extended even tp the time of day. _______________________ FIENDISH INDIAN DESPERADO. Apache Kid, Who Vm for Years the Terror of the ’•outhwest. Apache Kid. who died a natural death a few weeks ago, had for years been the terror of the Southwest. He was the most fiendish ns well as the most elusive Indian desperado with whom the United States authorities have ever had to deal. This arch-criminal was only 33 years old at the time of his death ami had murdered forty-four people.

The family was large, and I inferred that the room given me was not always a sjrare one. It was on the first floor and had two beds in it. ’There was no lock on the door, nor for that matter was there any fasten­ ing. save an old-fashioned latch, on the outeide door, a state of things not un­ common In country towns throughout Now England. “I had had a stiff day’s walk, and no sooner did I ^tlnk down on the soft feather bed than I fell into a sound sleep. , “Along In the night I was awakened by a violent struggle in the room. Groans, shrieks, blows tbumjM re­ sounded. The room was ns dark as pitch. What was it? Murder? It cer­ tainly sounded like men engaged In mortal combat. "I was broad awake and sitting up In bet! In an Instant. I was alert, ready tor action, nnd not a little alarmed, but It seemed the part of wisdom to keep still and await developments. "Meanwhile the scuffle went on. Blows, gasps, stifled screams and bumping* as of some one's head on the floor Increased my uneasiness. There was a heavy fall, and the next moment the clothing of my bed was jerked off. “I gave one bound into the middle of the room, and shouted for help. The farmer came rushing to the door, burst into the room, and adked what wus wrong. “Silence prevailed: the tumult had censed. A candle was lighted ami a young man wap discovered sitting on the edge of the other bed. and looking verj' sheepish. ” ‘I guess I've had the nightmare!’ be said. " ‘I guess ye have!* Raid the farmer. T didn't know ye was here.’ "The sheepish-looking young man proved to be the farmer’s brother-in­ law unexpectedly returned from a dis­ tant town. He had entered quietly and gone to his l>ed without disturbing any one.

NA­ Wisconsin’* Ex-Governor, in His An­ nual Address, Dwells on the Intel­ lectual and Business Bides of Agri­ culture-Form Education a Necessity. Ex-Gor. Hoard of Wisconsin, president of .the Farmers’ National Congress, in his annual address to that body at Fort Worth, said: Onr agriculture Is becoming untlouallrtlc. This farmers* congress Is one of the proofs of tbfs assertion. W«- are no longer a loosely joined bn nd of States, “discordant, bellig­ erent." "Tteauk God. we are coming to see each other “fare to faes." We nre becoming cemented by railroads, navigable rivers, lntcrchnngenblc products, aud a more general commingling of our people. National legis­ lation is taking on thought of this kind In the establishing of experiment stations. the enactment of laws for the better protection of agricultural products against the dishon­ est greed of men who would adulterate and counterfeit. * . We ure just 4>cgtnulug to feel ns a people that agriculture Is an Intellectual as well as a manual pursuit; that from the humblest tenant to the lordliest ranchman progress and profit depend on mental comprehen­ sion of the principles involved, and au ener­ getic obedleqte to that knowledge. Compre­ hension means Intellect, obedience, means busfite**. Some men are nil Intellect aud no work; others all work and no Intellect. The true farmer unites both. He Is both a stu­ dent aud a "doer of the word." Some of the questions for thia farmers’ congress to ask Itself are: What can we do. in an organised way to gel the farmers of’ this continent to sec the necessity ot mortt intellect on the farm? In other words, what can we do to promote farm education? What enn this eougress do to promote wise legislation In the State and national legis­ latures to this end? What can this congress do ns n great force to arrest the tendency of the American fanner to destroy the natu­ ral fertility of his farm? Wha| can we do to arouse public opinion nnd the great educa­ tional forces of the country to the Import­ ance of teaching the elements of agricul­ ture In the primary schools of the land? Our present system of agricultural educa­ tion Is an Image with a head of brass, a .body of iron and feet of clay. We arc di­ recting all our energies to the head and not the feet. Our common Mbools recruit the academy, the college nnd the university, and they, in turn, recruit every profession but farming. Our young turn flee to the towns and cities because we have educated them to do so. Nearly every European country Is putting forth strenuous efforts to stop this tendency by teachlug tlie ele­ ments of scientific agriculture In the public schools. It can be done ns easily as the teaching of the elements of scientific arith­ metic, or chemistry, or philosophy. A great host of farmers who were deprived of such teaching now find themselves barred from nn understanding of much agricultural liter­ ature. As a conseqoence they turn from the agricultural college, the bulletin of the experiment station and the farm pa]>er. which Is rvnlly worth everything to them. Like all other lines of human thought and action, the Amcricau farmer and hl» furtn nre going through n precess of* evolution. The manufacturer feels It. ami his capital aud enterprise can hardly keep pace with coming chanys: stat, suntnship feels It. for new and difficult problems of government constantly present themselves, and how to keep center and cirenmfcrem e In harmooixiug growth is the problem of the day. The railroad magnate feels it and must bow to It. What Is the subtle power that Is so mysteriously leavening the whole lump? It is growth of knowledge among the people. Heretofore onr vision bits been directed aL most wholly to the price we were to receive for our products. The present tide of evolu­ tion bears us In another direetiun. We can­ not control prices; the market cud of the ■luestlon Is beyond the individual reach or modification of any farmer. What enn he do. what must lie do. to increase bls profit, for ou that bungs bls prosperity? This must he d<>: He must realize that he is no longer n crude prodnerr: he la a manufacturer. He must Invoke aclence. invention, better sys­ tem. more thorough organization nmong his fellow farmers, more exhaustive study of the underlying principles of his business, improved method*, everything he can lay hold of. to contribute to a reduction of the cost of production. He Is subject to rhe name economic laws ns Is every other manufacturer. The world declares It will have cheap food and cloth­ ing. for this Is the humnue order of our civ­ ilization. The American farmer Is in the forefront of a merciless competition, for from the soil must <»me primarily all the food nnd clothing. He must furnish ns good as the heat or he will lose the market. He must do this nt a living cost and keep up the fertility of the soil, nr he nnd his farm will both perish by the way. The d-inands of modern civilization nre oxjwnslrr. it costs more to live, educate his children and be a man among men than It d'd his father fifty years ago. There Is but one road out of the difficulty as I can see. He must put more thought Into this question of the cost of production. Heretofore the cry has been more land, until the farm has become bigger than the fnrmer. This makes expensive funning. The neressltles of the hour say make the farmer bigger than the farm. The Farmers’ National Congreipi Is needed ns nn organized body of opinion to promote ns best It can national legislation In support of the Department of Agriculture. <>ur present Secretary of Agriculture is doing what be can to Introduce American food products Into foreign markets and promote their consumption. That department should have the authority uud means to employ, under Its own direction, commcrvlnl agents in every food market Ln the world. Den­ mark sends Its agents to England to receive, guard and look after Its shipments of butter ami bacon. Canada la doing the same. There Is no reason better than traditional abstraction why the United States should not show the same gmxl business sense. Beaides, there is a great trade awaiting us st our very door* lu the sister republics of the southern part of this eontlm-nt. t.’sn we say or do anything here which will move onr national legislature Into work of a practical character. In the way of u^tll subsidies to a Hue of American ships sailing direct from xiutheru ports to South American ports? I hope we can. It is n reproach to the practi­ cal statesmanship of the American people that something ba* not bteu done of this character. This congress can do something in the way of aiding the greater efficiency of the State experimental station*, some of which are hardly more than lodging-bouse* for politicians. It can stand up and rebuke, In no mertsured tones, the prostitution of agri­ cultural ncressltle* aud progress to political favoritism, it can nnd should deffiand of the national government the taxation to extinction of all counterfeit food products.

Qvilixation in ths Face of Priva- The steamer Rosalie brings news thnt an exodus of-men, with a large sprinkling *>f women, is taking place from iiawson City. John Halverson says: "Ther^ nre nearly 1.600 men strung along the 1 ukon Letween Dawxoii and Chllkoot pass. Mix*•<! with them are possibly seventy-five women. All are making a light for their live* iu an effort to reach the coast. I had a good dog team, plenty of grub nnd also a well-filled sack. Uousequeutly I came along IxMiming, jiassing many who had started from Daw*mn ten days ahead of inc. Many loft Datvsou short of provis­ ions. aud with little nr no money. It wems to me certain that many of these unfortunates will die on the trail. Some will make Skagnay all right. This win­ ter is proving the most severe experienced iu Yukon for years. Several aevere storms have raged in the interior already. These fleeing Kloudikers will arrive nt Skaguay in squads for a month to come." FEASONABLE WEATHER HELPS. Die November Trade but a Step Toward •onicthtnq. Butter. IL G.'Dnn & Co.’s weekly review of trade says: "The most significant thing this week has been the entire ubsenco of tlie customary nervous fright before or after the meeting of Congress, the Presi­ dent's message nnd the treasurer’* report. No one showed the least alarm, and no1iody could find a reason for any. Money and stocks and grain markets moved on exactly os if the Government were auto­ matic. certain to do or say no more than the people had already decided and Ex­ pected. and so the gradual liettennent since Octola-r continues. There is a larger demand for products in nearly all the great industries, larger export demand for foreign mn-ds. a more healthy domestic demand since se&qpable weather arrived, nnd n comforting conviction thatsNovciul»er business, the biggest ever done in this country in any month, was but a stcji to­ ward something better. This week’s fail­ ures have been 248 in. the United States, against 312 last year, and 22 iu Canada, against 29 last year." IN PRISON | HI8 VICTIM ALIVE. John Tonga** Serving a Sentence for John Tongass. a convict in the Colum­ bus (Ohio) penitentiary, was reporte*! for fighting the other morning. During the investigation Assistant Deputy Wells asked him whnt he was sent to prison for. Tongnas answered; "I was convicted for murder in the second degree, nnd no per­ son knows better than you do that I am not guilty of the crime for which I was convicted.” "Why. 1 never saw yon i>efore in my life," replied the deputy. “That is true, but yon knew the Iwy I was con­ victed of killing, and you know that he is alive aud well." continued Tongass. "I was convicted for killing Albert Van Riper, of Kenton." Young Van Riper is well known to Deputy Weils, who asserts that he is alive aud working in Kenton. He recently visited Columbus. Tongass was convicted on circumstantial evidence. A boy traveling with him diiuipp«>annl. and supposedly human bodes were found in his campfire afterward. He Las been in the prison since 1896.

It is almost impossible to esti­ mate the damage done, but it is believed that not less than $8(X),000 will cover the actual loss. » Passenger train.

Some interesting history Is attached to two bills recently introduced iu Congress by Mr. Underwood for Gen. Wheeler. The bills are to grant pensions to Mrs. Mar­ garet B. Shipp, widow of Lient. William E. Shipp, who was killed at tbe battle of Sau Juan t>ilL and of Mrs. Louisa D. Smith, wjdow of Lieut. William H. Smith, who was killed nt the same place. There was a remarkable similarity in the lystory of these two soldiers. They studMl to­ gether at West Point, graduated together, and after leaving the academy both rose to t.he rank of lieutenant. They met their deaths in the same battle within fifteen minutes of each other and finally these bills to pension their widows were intro­ duced in Congress simultaneously. Flour Milla to Combine. In an Interview at Cleveland Clement B. Stern of the Atlas flourmills of Mil­ waukee stated that he expected the big flour combination would be in operation shortly. The combine will have a cap­ italization of $30,600,060. A syndicate ot English/and American capitalists has been negotiating with the owners of the mills looking to the formation of a trust for some time past. • Pottery Trust 1» Completed. It was announced at East Liverpool. Ohio, that the pottery trust has complet­ ed Itworganixation under the laws of New Jersey with $26.lMK).000 of capital stock.

In the Hanse on Tuesday Mr. Cannon/ chairman of the Committee on Appropria­ tions. reported the urgent deficiency bill for the army uiji navy. The President sent to the Horae the report of the Ha­ waiian commission, and Mr. Hitt, chair­ man of the committee, introduced a bill iu connection with the consideration of it, the whole matter being referred to the Committee on Territories. '-At 124t) the House adjourned out of respect to tbe lute T. J. Northway of Ohio and W. F. Love of Mimiasinpi.

Mr. CuiIon introduced a bill to provide for the territory of 'Hawaii. A brief discussioa of the navigation laws was precipitated by the consideration of a hill amending those laws by the addition of a provision that foreign built vessels wrecked in the United States purchased by citizens of this country and repaired to the extentof three-fourtbs of their value shall be subject to forfeiture if they engage nubsequently in the coastwise trade of lhe United States. It was made a spetdal order for Monday. In the House on Wednesday the anti­ scalping bill passed by a vote of 119 to 161. In the Senate no business was trans­ acted In open session. A few minutes af­ ter the Senate convened it went into ex-' ecutive session.

On Thursday the Senate held a short session nnd adjourned until Monday, af­ ter making the Niciraguan Canal bill the unfinished business before that body. Mr. Morgan called up the measure, whereup­ on Mr. Pettigrew moved to adjourn. This • motion failed—13 yeas to 42 nays—aud the bill was brought forward. Adjourn­ ment was immediately taken. During tbe session Mr. Vest stated his opposition to the hurried manner of passing pension bills in the Senate, and gave notice that he would insist upon a quorum being pres­ ent when pension bills were being acted upon. At the other end of the capitol the general deficiency appropriation bill was. passed, and the House adjourned until Monday. - Rich Vein of Gold in Ohio. At Toledo a company headed by Thom­ as Kelly has here organized to develop a vein of gold discovered in Auburndale by a workman who was digging a sewer.

Rich Oil Well in Ohio. Oil is being thrown at the rate of fifty barrels an hour from a well in which it was struck, one mile above Marietta, Ohio. It is the l>est well in all the region, and was put down for experiment in new direction. In a terrible duel with knives nt Mount Vernon. Ga., between Charles Darley. on mulrback. aud Thomas Jennings, ou foot, the former was killed and Jennings bad­ ly wounded. Jennings is in jail. Gen. Garcia and his Cuban associates are pleased with the President's message, and declare that his references to Cubaa independence are in effect, if not in words, a recognition of the republic. It is doubt­ ful. however, whether the President in­ tended that such a construction should be placed upon his words. A communication received at the State Department from the consuls general at Berlin and Frankfort place* the total value of all exports from Germany to the United States for the quarter ending Sept. 30 at $19,139,007. an increase over the same period of 1897 of $5,110,093.

"May I trespass upon your attention for a moment. sir?’ Lord Elsdale said suddenly addressing the coroner with hi* iusual urbane courtesy. "Tbe secret to which my adopted daughter alludes is quite u family matter, of no intereat to any but ourselves. My daughter feared -that, if it were made public, it would cause me much annoyance; therefore she tried to induce Mr. Waiter Bryant to keep •iient. Lord Chereiey will, I dare say, certify to the truth of my assertion." ‘There is no need, my lord,” Mr. Der£gton answered courteously—“I willingaccept your explanation; still. If Miss tton has sufficiently recovered to an­ swer thwtn there are a few other ques­ tions I must trouble her with." : “X am at your service, Mr. Dcrring^ton." ; ‘That you were in the neighborhood of the spot where the body wan found we have most positive proof.” said one of the jurymen sternly. "Did you see any one there?’ i "I saw noljody." she said quietly, j There was a moment’s pause; then, see­ ing the incredulous expression on the 'faces around her, she started and rose to jjer feet. “Do you not believe me?’ she cried, in a tone of intense, anguish. "It is true—I saw nobody: I went out—I can hardly teil why; I was restless, anxious, unhap­ py; tbe light and noise seemed to distress me. Earlier in the day he—Walter Bry­ ant—had told me that be would be there, and something—I hardly know what— made me----- ’’ Her voice failed for a moment, tbe slen­ der fur-clad figure swayed slightly, and •Lord Cheveley moved hurriedly toward her; but Qre he could reach her she stood proud and erect again. “I ran out—I was faint and feverish,” she continued, in spiritless tones—"and, hardly knowing what I did, I went there. It was dark—I could scarcely see any­ thing; and I knelt down—and then my hands touched—I spoke—I tried to lift him; but he was cold and dead.” She stared straight before her with a wild, terrible gaze; it seemed as if it were all present to ber again—the chHi night, the shrubbery so feebly lighted by the stars shining in the wintry sky. her own misery, the cold upturned face with which her bands came in contact as she knelt, and the wild, awful fear which bad held her chained there fur some terrible mo­ ments. “Why did you not call for assistance?” asked n juryman, quickly. “He was dead.’’ • “But it would surely have been natural to •call some one, to say what had hap­ pened I” , “It would have been of no use.’Whe re­ sponded. mechanically, understanding only the words be had spoken, not the thought which had prompted them. "But it would have been the right course, and would doubtless have prevent­ ed the escape ot the murderer,” said a juryman sharply. “It seems most incom­ prehensible that you should have re-enter­ ed the house, changed your attire, and danced when you knew what had occur-' red. The Idea Is preposterous! No one would credit it, unless you bad some strong motive for doing so.” "Yea—it—h—true.” With a pause between each the words came from her colorless lips; a grip like that of ice cold fingers seemed to be tight­ ening about her heart; the faces in front of her, eager, incredulous, compassionate, were fading in the darkness which was dimming her eyes. But she stood erect, adll facing the eager eyes which looked at her so significantly, and which saw, in-, stead of a loving woman trying to acreen one she loved, a desperate creature striv­ ing to conceal ber guilt, having spoken words, forced from her, which had stun­ ned even those who loved her best. For a moment she stood pressing both hands against her heart; then they fell away suddenly, her head sank forward upon her breast, and James Francis. who was among those present, springing for­ ward, caught ber ere she fell. CHAPTER XXII. The dim gray dawn had not long glim­ mered in the eastern sky when James Francis appeared on the platform of Arlingtun Station to await tbe arrival of the special train which was bringing his fath­ er from Ixmdon. It came slowly into the station, Its red lights glowing in the chill gray of the morning; thep, as it stopped a door waa hastily opened, and a tall man sprang s>ut and turned to assist Mr. Francis from the compartment, and the old lawyer care­ fully dressed, and as freab-looking as if he had not passed a restless and fatiguing night, stepped on to the platform. “Whom in the world has be with him?” muttered James Francis to himself as he went forward to meet them. "Surely I have seen that man before! Of course j know him; it Is the actor Robson. By Jow. this will be-a blow to him, or I am very much mistaken f’ "You have not forgotten .Mr. Robson, James?" the old lawyer said, as his eon greeted him. "He accompanied me from town. We left Lord Ehdale’s secretary .at Stoarton.” "I remember Mr, Robsdn perfectly,” an­ swered his son. bolding out his hand to Mark, who looked pale and worn and anx­ ious. ‘There is a carriage waiting,” he added hastily. “Lord Eisdsie la at tbe hotel here.” “At the hotel?” echoed Mr. Francis, in some surprise. “Yea. Then- is terrible news for you. We would not telegraph. Come!” Taking his father's arm, be hurried him •out of the station, too eager and excited The town waa but just waking up. Yawning shop boys werq..taking down the shutters; sleepy looking maids wensweeping the door steps; in a few of ths windows the blinds were drawn up; hers and there two or three persona stood 'gossiping, regardless of the cold, about the prevailing topic. It was* half past seven by the town hall clock as the carriage pulled up at tbe arched entrance of the Royal Hotel. In the hotel the signs of life were more numerous. Tbe landlady bustled forward to greet her visitors; a chamber maid or two, busy in the hall, glanced curiumdy at the newcomers, then resumed their work. James .Francis, with bis father's hand upon his arm, went slowly up tbe stairs, signing to Mark to follow them, and open­ ed the door of a, sitting.room on the first ktory. ‘ There waa a cheerful fire burning in the grate, and James Francis, having assisted bis father to remove his overcoat, led him to an anncBair by the hearth. “Did you say that Lord Elsdale was here?” Mr. Francis asked, as he sat down. "Yes; he is resting, I hope. He has had a terrible Now.” Mark looked up quickly; the old lawyer’s sightless eyes turned in eager anxiety to his son’s face, almost as if he were trying to-read-what be had to say. “What has happenedhe asked. “He wrote to me after Mias Hatton had told him of the mistake which bad been made; but be wrote calmly, not as if anything bad happened which had distressed him much. But, whatever it be,” he added, “what I bare to say will be sufficient to remove all other trouble." “I doubt i»,” James Francis muttered gloomily: but bls father was too elated and triumphant to heed. “You ’ remember this gentleman, James?” be said, indicating Mark with a gesture of his hand. “Certainly," young Francis answered, thinking of the spring day when Mark had come to the offices in Lincoln’s Inn, and wishing with all his heart that that visit bad not been paid, or that such terri­ ble consequences bud not followed. iL “You are perhaps at a loss to explain his presence here?”. “Not at all,” was the quiet answer. “I am only sorry that----- " He paused and turned quickly as the door opened and Mrs. Fairfax appeared on the threshold, courtesying with stately, old-fashioned, respectful dignity to the gentlemen. "His lordship begs that Mr. Francis will take the rest he----- ’’ Then she stop­ ped short, as Mark Robson turned and looked, at her, with a smile in his dark­ gray eyes. “What is it, Mrs. Fairfax?” the old lawyer asked, guessing with quick intui­ tion what waa passing before his sight­ less eyes. "Has anything startled you?" »The housekeeper did not answer; she was trembling, and had become very pale, storing at the grave, proud, moved face of the young man. Mark Robson came forward and held out bis band. “Do you know me. Mrs. Fairfax?” be asked, a trifle unsteadily. T remember you as well as if only days and not years had elapsed since we last met. Nay," he went on hurriedly, putting the aid woman into a chair, “it was unpardonable to shock you so. Forgive me, old friend." He was kneeling beside her now, hold­ ing the trembling hands in his. while her eyes rested upon his face with a look in which wonder and fear and joy were strangely mingled. “Not dead—not dead!” she ejaculated faintly. “Oh, my dear young lord—not dead!” “You know him then, Mrs. Fairfax!” said Mr. Francis, rubbing his hands tri­ umphantly. “What do you think of that as a surprise for the earl? The loss of a niece will be more than compensated for by the recovery of a son.” But the old wdman seemed not to hear him; her eyes were fixed upon the anx­ ious face bending over her. “After all these years!*’ she exclaimed, with quivering lipa. “Oh, my load, why did you let us think you dead? After all these years!” / “It is a long story, dear old friend,” the young man answered huskily—“too long to tell you now; you have much to forgive me. My father, where Is he? Do you think he will be glad----- ” “Glad! Oh, my dear, if you could know bow be has mourned for yon! He has never been the same since. Do you know why be loved Barbara so much? It was because, as he often said to me, she re­ minded him of you in ss many things.” . As the faithful old woman, overcome with joy, burst into tears, the young man raised her hand and touched it with his lips, and the tears were thick in his own eyes as he bent his head over hera. “What, is the meaning of this?’ James Francis mattered, as, with puzzled, be­ wildered "eyes, he Htood looking on. “My dear father, do enlighten me. I feel as if I were assisting at a play! Who is that individual over whom the earl's house­ keeper *s going into raptures?' "Lord Hatton,” answered Mr. Francis quietly, helping himself to a pinch of snuff with admirably feigned indifference, which, however, did not deceive his son. "Lord Hatton!” he repeated, in a low tone, which, low as it was, waa full of amazement. “Yes, Lord Hatton. My dear James, I am an old man, and used to the vagaries of'tay fellow men; but I have yet to un­ derstand why a man who is heir to an earldom and a substantial rent roll should prefer earning bis bread upon tbe stage to enjoying tbe undoubted advantages of his true position.” “But I thought he was dead—killed in the railway accident? You----- ” “Yes, I know.” interrupted the old law­ yer quietly. “But he has hardly the look of a dead man, has he? I think I can Imagine the earl’s defight. Tbe young fool—he was old enough to know better­ left bome in a fit of rage or pique, and let himself be thought dead; and then, when he wished to return, he beard of Lord Elsdale’s second marriage and the birth of the other boy, and decided to remain dead. Tbe strangest part of it all is dht be should have had tbe care of tbe girl wbo— By the bye,” he asked eagerly, breaking off as a thought struck him. “what was tbe result of the iaqueat? I had forgot­ ten all about that.” "The result is anything but aatisfactory;” replied the young man gloomily. “Murder against----- ” “Against whom?" interrogated his fath- "Ag»la»t— CoBfooml It father. will have to know it sooner or later—M»d so will her’ he added ruefully, as hr glanc­ ed over at Mark, who, with the old hunsekaeper's h**d» to his. was waiting anti! she had rer-avered from her agitation. “What Is it, James? They have not ac­ cused tbe earl, I suppose?’ he inquired, .with a slight smile. "They might just as welt They have accused Barbara Hatton!" CHAPTER XXIII. WHh a shocked exclamation of surprise the old man sank backward, staring at his son.with wide, sightless eyes, which even in their blindness the young man could not meet. He knew rftely too well what a cruel blow this would be to the old lawyer, who was jealous for the honor of tbe family whom he had served so long and so faithfully; be knew that his father would have preferred any personal sorrow to this disgrace which had fallen upon a name that he honored and loved. “It is impossible!” he muttered, after a painful pause—"impossible. What proof can they have? The jury must have been mad, James! Is she under arrest?’ "Yoe,” replied the young man. “Where?* asked his father, In a tone of surprise. “Here. That is why the earl nnd we are here.” But his son’s thoughts were not so much tor the old man as for the young one, who was so little prepared for the terrible blow about to fall upon him. Ix>ng before, on that bright spring morning, he bad guessed that Mark Robson—or, to give him his true name, Newell Hatton—felt for the girl who had been so long under bis care, and be realized that the thought of her guilt would be an unendurable agony to the man whose mistake—a natural one certainly—had^ been the cause of so much suffering. How could he bear it? James Francis wondered; and his sorrowful eyes met Lord Hatton's as he approached him with outstretched hand. “This must*be a surprise to you, Mr. Jamfrs,” he said, smiling. “I had some difficulty In inducing your good father to believe in me at all; but. when I did suc­ ceed in proving my Identity, he was gen1 erons in according me forgiveness for whit I now see was worse than folly. Heaven knows that I am ashamed of my­ self for a course of conduct which was most reprehensible!” Then he added, af­ ter a pause, “Let me thank you for your kindness to my father. This has been a shock to him, I fear.” . James Francis started, and looked at the speaker questioningly. “I mean of course the mistake which baa been explained to him. His letter to your father spoke so kindly and tenderly of his dear adopted daughter that I can­ not but feel that the mistake has not been altogether a disastrous one. But you look anxious. Do you fear for him the shock of my return?’ “Joy never kills, my lord.” "And It will be joy to him?” “Who could doubt that?’ James Fran­ cis responded, looking at him in some sur­ prise; whereupon the other smiled and pushed back his hair from his forehead with a gesture familiar to the young law­ yer. “I am glad you think so,” said Newell Haiton gently. “I hardly dare to hope so yet. We parted very strangely, and it is so many years ago. Is be well?' "I believe so—be has been.” The voice which James Francis had vainly endeav­ ored to render careless failed him. "He is not ill?” Lord Hatton asked quickly. _ "No—no; but be has been troubled and anxious, and----- ■” ■'•Ah, true—I bad forgotten! I forgot everything,” the other interrupted, with a little impatient laugh. “And now as to that wretched man Bryant—how did the Inquest end? In a verdict of suicide,* I suppose?" “No." “In what then? Murder? Impossible! Why. there was no one there when I left him!” “When you left him"’ echoed Francis, in intense, overpowering surprise. “Yes; I met him that night in the grounds, by his wish.and----- What is the matter, Mr. Francis?" ’Then It was you ^hom she wished to screen!” exclaimed the young lawyer, a sudden thought causing the blood to rush to his face, then recede. “It was vou The words were arrested by the opening of the door. Both young men looked toward it. and both turned very pale as they saw who entered. Mrs. Fairfax rose to her feet, trembling in every limb, un­ able to speak in tbe intense excitement of the moment. Mr. Francis alone sat quiet and composed, his face bent upon bis hand. Lord Elsdale came forward quietly; he looked pale and haggard as he stood in the strung morning light which flooded tbe room. “Francis,” he said huskily, “I am glad to see you; you arc an old friend, and----- " He stopped suddenly; his eyes bad fallen upqn his son, who stood, pale as death, in­ capable of speech or movement. There was a moment’s intense silence. Tbe blind man had risen, and stood grasp­ ing the arms of his chair with either band, longing as he had seldom longed in his contented years for the power to see. “Who is that?” the earl asked tremu­ lously, his lips working convulsively, bis eyes seeking his son’s with a wild, pitiful eagerness. “Francis, wbo is that? Sure­ ly—surely— Ab, no—the dead never come back—tbe ” “Father!” “Newell! my son Newell!” And reverently, with noiseless step, the others went away, leaving father and son together, the one incredulous, the. other penitent, in the sacred joy of their re­ union—a joy which, unhappily, was dim­ med when Newell Hatton had to be told by James Francis that Barbara was a prisoner in the station charged with mur­ der. When he heard the astounding news his first thought was for ber. “Can I see her?’ Newell asked, a tone of suffering in his voice. “She is here, you said.” “Yes," James Francis answered. “She ----- It is only over there, behind th® Tqwn HalL” Newell looked across the market place, which was covered with snow, to the Town Hall: then he turned to James Francis with team in bis eyes. “Come!” be said quietly; and they went out together.

SECRE­ Chief of the Treuury Depart meat Diecuaeea the Need of Banking Reform a ad the Necessity of Meeting New Conditions. ■ Secretary of the Treasury Gage has made public his report on the condition of the finances of the country and the work accomplished by fab department during the year. It is an interesting document. U|M>n the subject of currency nnd banking reform bexays: The argumc-Dta agzlaat government Issues of paper money as a medium for commer­ cial exchanges hare been fully made and need not be repeated Id detail. The pro­ posal to substitute bank issues for govern­ ment notes In opposed with many honest prejudices and assailed by bitter denuncia­ tions. The first arise from a failure to com­ prehend the true philosophy of a paper cur­ rency and must be patiently considered. The latter obscure the. question by reckless statements, charging that all propositions for currencr reform are bank conspiracies. If It be conceded that tbe legal-tender money Issued by government does not pos­ sess the. qualifications to make It a proper factor In the country’s exchanges of prod: acts nnd manufactures, if the faet also be admitted that It Is a deranging and disturb­ ing factor In Its relation to Industry sad commerce, then the time has come to sub­ stitute for it a currency which will ade­ quately. economically and safely meet with the ever-growing needs of the country, rap­ idly developing, as It Is, In the power of production. In the number of Its people and the Importance of Us domestic and foreign * trade. In answer to the question whether a bank note currency can be established which will be economical, adequate and safe and serve the public needs in a bet­ ter way than is now served, the Secre­ tary points to the system in force in Canada. Tbe facts set forth by. tfae Comptroller re­ late exclusively to the proposition that tbe notes of a failed bank shall be a paramoant lien upon the assets for their fall value be­ fore any rights accrue to other creditors. Tbe Issue of notes upon tbe general assets of national banks may be made perfectly se­ cure without tbe requirement that tbe notes be a first Ilea upon their assets. It woald only be necessary to sward to the notehold­ er tbe same ratable proportion of the assets which went to other creditors, and to pro­ vide that the amount required to pay the difference be obtained by an isKument up­ on all the national banks, collected ratably lu proportion te their share In the circula­ tion of this character. The vital question Is. What percentage of assessment upon this circulation would be required In order to corer the losses to noteholders In the case of failed ttanks? Tbe experience of the na­ tional banking system demonstrates that the assessment would be insignificant. The total circulation of failed banks out­ standing at the time of failure np to Oct. 31. 1807. was *20.803,837. The loss upon these notes, if the security for them had been Impaired in the same degree us the security for other liabilities, would have been $5,370,105, or an annua] average of about *163,000. This loss would hare been made good by n tax of about one-twelfth of 1 per cent, per yeAf upon the circulation of the solvent banks. A tax of one-fifth of 1 per cent upon the average circulation of the national banks since the foundation ot tbe system would have paid such losses up to*Oct- 81, 1807. and left a surplus of about $'.',000,000 In the guaranty fund. Urges Former Mensurea. In my last report I ventured upon specific recommendations. These recommendations, if adopted and formulated Into law. woald iu my opinion be curative of the evils herein pointed out. In house bills Nos. 10,2.81) and 10,333 are embodied a aeries of measures In some respects more meritorious. Tbe meas­ ures herein proposed are the result of care­ ful study by expert and experienced men. With some modifications—the reasonable fruit of full discussion—thef would, I be­ lieve. meet the country's needs. I com­ mend tbe subject to the early and earnest attention of Congress. On the point of fractional silver the re­ port contains this paragraph: The amount of fractional silver'coin held by the treasury July 1. 1807. was J16.201.960; July 1, 1898. $12.070.0tO. This stock has at present, Nov. 18. been reduced to $7.­ 122.506, much of which Is so worn as to be unfit for circulation. The amount available, distributed among the several sub-treasuries, gives but small stuck to each, and some de­ nominations are exhausted. The Secretary of tbe Treasury should be authorized to re­ coin this uncurrent stock and any such coin which may hereafter accumulate in tbe treasury, the difference between Its fare value nnd tbe new coin It will make to be paid out of any moneys In the treasury not otherwise appropriated. Further provision should be made to add to the stock of frac' tioaa) eoln. and to that end It Is suggested that th* Secretary of the Treasury be aatborlxed to use any sliver bullion pow In the treasury for the coinage of such denomina­ tions as may be required from time to time to meet the demand from the different sec­ tions of the country. With an ever-increas­ ing population, which will be added to In the near future by the acquisition of addi­ tional territory, the demand for fractloeal silver coin will be such as to make It essen­ tially necessary that the stock should be In­ creased. • It is suggested that, at the proper time, action be token by Congress to assimilate the currency of Porto Rico to that of the United States, so far and so rapidly as this cun bo done without unduly disturb­ ing existing conditions nnd contract rela­ tions iu Porto Rico. This, it is believed, can be accomplished by making customs dues in tbe island payable in American money, yet receiving the silver pesos and centavos at a fixed relation to our dollar. The revenues of the Government from all sources for the fiscal year ended June 39, 1898, were $494,333,063.75, while tbe expenditures for tbe same period were $532,381,201.35, showing a deficit of $38,­ 047.247.90. As compared with the fiscal year of 1897. the receipts for 1898 in­ creased $63,946,785.86. There was an in­ crease of $77,594,423.28 in the ordinary expenditures. The revenues for the cmreut fiscal year are estimated at $577,874.G47.37. while the >xpenditarez for the same period are $689,874,047^7. leaving a deficit of $112,000,000. For tbe fiscal year 1900 the revenues are estimated at $610,958,112 and the estimates of appro­ priations for the same period aggregate, exclusive of sinking fund. $011,006,490.04, or sn estimated detieit of £10.048,387.04. “The first proceeds of the popular fan of $200.000.0011.” the report reads, “were received June 14. and from that date for­ ward the inflow of money from this sourre has been rapid and constant. Tbe total amount received up to Nov. 1 was $193,­ 444,187.(12." Mint Receipts and Deposit*.

GERMANS FORM A COMBINE. J. H. Williams kept a little grocery store in Harlem, just across the Misouri River from Kaunas City. He was auspicious of l>ankH and afraid of robbers, nnd one day found what he .thought was a good hiding idare for his money. Every day he gath­ ered his profits and bad them changed into gold.. This money he dropped, piece by piece, into a crevice in the shelving near .5. L’dNk''1 window. He planned UuB ’£ ever n fire broke out all ho would have to do w?uldf be to run to the outside of his store, rip the weatherboarding from the •window, and get his money. Recently a fire did break out and destroyed Wil!-’ iaqnt’ store before he could get at his money. In the morning he was prodding around the hot ashea in a haif-hopek-ss way, and to his joy. found the great bulk of his money. Hi* picked out $1,740 in $5. $10. and $20 gold pieces. It was al! together, and only one $10 piece was dam­ aged »by fire. Williams is uncertain whether he had $l.S00 or $1,900 in the shelving and is vexed to know whether his loss is $60 or $160. His stock wns not insured. Steamers in Collision. The British steamer Pierremont. which arrived at New Oaxtle-on-Tyne and sub­ sequently sailed for the Mediterranean, has been in collision with the British steamer Ilios.

Kill* Flour Mill Combine. The flour trust scheme is dead so far as Minneaiiolis te ronrerned, and without Minneapolis it is futile. At a meeting of representatives of the big milling con­ cerns of the city it was unanimously agreed that none of the Minneapolis prop­ erties should go into the scheme. The mills in Milwaukee and Duluth will be obliged to follow the lead of the Minne­ apolis millers. Death of Baron <lc Rothschild. Baron Ferdinand James de Rothschild died in London. He was suddenly at­ tacked with internal pains while out walking.

Rep­ resentative Hepburn of Iowa introduced a bill authorizing the President to acquire by purchase from the State of Coirta Rica and Nicaragua full ownership, jurisdic­ tion and sovereignty of such tend a* may be desirable and necessary to construct and defend a ship canal. The Presidentis also' directed to construct such a canal and the ijn appropriates $140,000,000 to complete it. . In the Senate, on Tuesday the Nicara­ gua Canal bill was discussed. Mr. Turpie making the principal speech In opposition, declaring It te in tho interest of the Mari­ time Company, which he characterized ns a fraud and bankrupt. He moved a post­ ponement until after the holiday recess. Mr. Morgan defended the bill nnd the Maritime Company and opposed the mo­ tion to postpone. Messrs. Berry ami Rawlins both offered amendments ma­ terially affecting the bill. Mr. Morrill supported the bill authorizing the pur­ chase of a site for a Supreme Court build­ ing. and this and several other bills were passed. In the House the District of Columbia appropriation bill was passed without a single amendment The bill carries $6,359,950.

Speech­ es were made by Messrs. Harris, Money, Stewart and Morgan. An agreement wqs reached to take a vote qg the Turpie postponement motion on Thursday. Oth­ er questions before the Senate were: The government’s pension policy nnd the bill regarding registry of foreign built vessel* wrecked on the American coast. On Thursday the House surpassed all records in the expedition with which it passed the pension appropriation bilL Usually one of the most fruitful themes of acrimonious partisan debate, It was passed in twenty minutes without criti­ cism. although carrying $145,233,830, $4.­ 000,000 more than the act for the current year. The House then lx*gan considera­ tion of the bill to incorporate the Internatiorfnl American Bank. This project was recommended by the Pan-American Con­ gress in 1889. An agreement was effected for a vote at 3 o'clock Friday. It was supported in debate by Messrs. Bronins (Rep.. Pa.). Adams (Ilep.. Pa.), Lacey (Rep., Iowa), and Walker (Rep., Mass.), and opposed by Mr. Cox (Dem„ Tenn.). Jenkins (Rep., Wte.l. Driggs (Dem., N. Y.), nnd Bartlett (Dem.. Ga.). In the Senate the urgent deficiency appropria­ tion bill making provision for the army and navy for -the next six months.dis­ placed the Nicaragua canal bill, prevent­ ing even the taking of a vote on the ques­ tion of the postponement of the latter measure until after the holidays, as had Iwn intended. The deficiency bill was passed after a spirited discussion, turning principally on the point of keeping the volunteer soldiers in the service. The Senate adjourned until Monday. Many letters and telegrams are bring received by Sena ton and metuben ut Congress inquiring when the liodtr* of tk<f dead soldiers who lost their live* in battle in Cuba, or as the result of diwase. will be.,sent to their late homea. It |s the intention of the War Department to bring home the body of every American soldier, including those who died of yellow fever and other contagious diseases. Hcrmet' ically sealed caskets are being contracted for and sent to Cuba ns rapidly as possi­ ble, but the bodies will not be disinterred until some time in Hebroary. when It is considered they can be brought here with perfect safety. The bodies of the soldiers having relatives will be turned over to them, but in instances where there are none the body will bo interred at Arling­ ton. the national cometcry. « fW tnilea west of Washington, and the graves will The Morgan bilj for the construction of the Nicaragua canal is a measure which will be pushed through Congress this sc* alon if it can be done. It provides for ^100,009.000 backing for the enterpriw’. This amount will be paid for the Stock of a canal company, the subscription being taken nt par. The Government will re­ tain $70,000X100 of the stock, the remain­ der iieing distributed to the Central Amer­ ican governments and to the Maritime Cana! Company to reimburse it for money it has actually expended for'prosecution of work on the venal. The Government will, therefore, be the controlling stock­ holder in the corporation. It will escape the technical responsibility of direct con­ struction. while the terms of the conres■sion. which stipulate that its right and privilege* shall not be. transferred to a Government or nation, will not be rioJatcd. _ The funeral of Gen. Garcia was an Im­ posing Pageant. Among the participants were high officers of the Government, both civil and military, and the minister­ ing clergymen were eminent prelates of the Catholic Church, Archbishop Ireland, Bishop O’Gorman of the diocese of Da­ kota and others. The President was rep­ resented at the funeral. Mrs. McKinley sent a floral tribute; a military escort was provided by the Secretary of War. and every possible evidence of respect and demonstration of honor, was made by the United States to the hero of the Cubau revolution. The remains will be sent ta Cuba-on a man-of-yar, with full military honors, to impress the Cubans and tho Spaniards with the respect ami confidence, which the United States Government felt, for Gen. Garcia. If there is any one question which i* asked more than any other in Washington* it is. "What hour does the legislative day of March 3 end?’ This question is pro­ pounded because the life of a Congress ex­ pires at that hour oqce every two years. That question was settled forty-seven years ago, and this was the way it hap­ pened: March 3. 1851. at midnight. Sen­ ator Mason of Virginia, whose term ex­ pired that day and whose credentials for another term were on file, asked to have the oath administered to him. upon the ground that his right to sit under his old credentials expired at-that hour. The Senate refused to allow bis request and by resolution declared that the session did not expire until 12 o'clock meridian the 4th. The Vice-President says he is a direct gainer financially by the late war and the reason he gives is a decidedly novel one. From his coming to Washington up to the outbreak of the war bd average of 100 babies a month were named after him, or at least their fond parents so informed him by letter.

The girl Iny dreamily watching her, until ■he rained her bead and saw the great hollow eyes, looking ro painfully targe in the worn, pallid face, open and fixed upon her. ghe put down her work and hurried to the bedside nnd bent overth* recumbent girl. “You know me, Barbara?” a low gentle voice «aid, with a very perceptible tremor In its tone*; and a faint wondering gleam crept Into the dark eyes. "No; don't try to talk," went ou the kindly tremulous voice. "Just drink thi*. dear, and go to »leep again, and sleep as long as ever you She raised the pretty cropped head upon her arm, and held a draught to. the lips which were beginning to quiver; and Bar­ bara, too weak for resistance, nwallowed it obediently, and as obediently sank to sleep again, a sweet, dreamless sleep which brought healing and strength with it. Having watched her long enough tn know that the slumber was the natural sleep they longed for and not the swoon they dreaded, the lady went softly to the door and whispered a few word* to an anxious watcher there, which sent him away with a feeling of unutterable thank­ fulness. And then she came back and resumed the work she had thrown aside, a restful look on her kindly face replacing the anx­ ious expression which had been habitual there during the long five weeks of obliv­ ion which had- been granted to Barbara Hatton—week* during which those who loved her had mourned her almost as dead. When the languid white lids were rais­ ed again, the dawu of the following day wa* breaking in the eastern *ky, the fire was burning brightly, the lamp was care-1 fully shaded. Mrs. Fairfax, her white cap and kerchief a* carefully arranged aa if she had just left her room instead of haring passed a long, anxious night, waa seated by the bed; and then it seemed a* if the kindly old face melted away to be replaced in a moment by the other kindly, tender face on which Barbara’* eye* first rested. "Goody!" the girl said; and, although her voice was very faint, it wa* quite au­ dible. "Ye*, dear. You have had a nice sleep.” "Am 1 at Rose Cottage?” asked the faint, low tones, while the dark eye* wan­ dered feebly around the room. "No, dear," Mrs. Clavering answered gently. “You have been ill, and I have been nursing you." "HI!” repeated the girl. "Have I been long Hl?’ "Not very long—a little while." Mrs. Clavering answered soothingly. "We have been anxious about you. dear child, and you must get well quickly now and repay u* for all our care. You do not suffer now, Barbara?' "No; but I am so tired!" Barbara said wearily, n* she let her white lids sink over her languid eyes; and Mr*. Clavering wondered if memory, with it* attendant suffering, was coming back, and hoped and prayed with all her anxious heart that it would delay it* return for awhile until the enfeebled frame wa* better able to bear the horror it might bring with it. But even now, though the fever had left her, nnd the great dark eye* were no long­ er bright with its luster, and tho rambling, broken words which had been so terrible to listen to had censed, there was the gravest cause for anxiety in Barbara's intense weakness. She seemed, as the day* went by—such slow, anxious days to the household at Elsdale—especially so to the two men whodoved her so tenderly —to regain no strength: she lay with clos­ ed eyes upon her pillows, heeding nothing, mute and motionless^, in seini-sleep. semi­ stupor, which sometimes deepened into a long, death-like swoon which caused the physicians great anxiety, and made them wonder if she remembered the trouble which had preceded her illness, nnd was letting her misery retard the recovery for which they so earnestly strove. Mrs. Clavering and the kindly old housekeeper wondered also; but Barbara said nothing. and the pale lip* were parted only to utter a few words of thanks or apdogy for the trouble she ^ave. "She must be roused," Dr. Close said; "almost anything would be better than this indifference to everything. Sh« is drifting away in «pite of all our care." Christman had come aud gone, and a new year had begun during those weeks of darkness, and oblivion: and one morn­ ing Mrs. Ciayeribff came into the quiet room where Barbara lay, bringiqg a bunch of fresh white snow-drop# with their deli­ cate green leaves, with which *he touched Barbara’s lips. The girl opened her lan­ guid eye*, and then brigh^ned a little at sight of the sweet harbinger of spring. “Lord Elsdale has sent them, dear, with hi* love." Mrs. Clavering said, in her most cheerful voice. "And Doct<w Close say* you are to get up for u short time to-day.” “To get up?' Barbara questioned, a shade of fear coming into her eye*. Then she said pettishly, “I can’t get up—I am too weak." "Dobtor Close says not," Mrs. Clavcring returned in her most matter-of-fact tones. "And. Barbara, there are one or two gen­ tlemen very anxious to see you who are not to be admitted until you are In your dressing room. Ix>rd Elsdale has some wonderful new* for you, dear." "But, Goody"—the frail little finger* let fall the snow-drops and closet! over Mrs. Clnvering's baud in • fierce, feverish clasp —"if I get up. will they not come—and take me away?" And the words told Mrs. Clavering what the girl had dreaded, and what had re­ tarded her progress to recovery. "Dear,” she replied,'"! have been want­ ing to tell you; but we feared to agitate you. A!I that is settled. There was a ter­ rible mistake, which has been fully cleared up; we need not mind how just now. When you are stronger, you shall know all sl-xit it." ‘‘And Mark?' murmured the sweet quiv­ ering lip*. “Mark is well, and would be quite hap­ py. Barbara, if you were better." strength, she core to her feet, steadying herself by a hand on either arm of her cha(r; then, as he came up to her, she fell with a little cry into hl* quutretcbed arm*, and hurts Into a peaaiou of tears upon his shoulder, while the young man's eye* were dim a* he bowed his bead over hers. Mrs. Clavering went away quietly, leaving them together. PreBfentiy, when the passionate *obs which brought such relief to the over­ charged heart had sabaided, Newell jiut. her gently into her chair’ and knelt down by her side, looking at the sweet wasted face with eye* no full of tenderness and sorrow that the girl smiled faintly at him. "You must not look so sorrowful,” ahe said, in her pretty, pathetic tone*. “I am getting better and stronger every day, Mark; and I am so ashamed of the trouble .and anxiety I have been to you all.” “My darling!" he whispered trcmuloualy, raising her hand to his lips.' “Ah, you were always good to me, dearT’ she said, putting her hand on!1 his head, and pushing back the thick dark hair into which had crept many a silver thread during the last few weeks. "Your love has been a tower of strength to me all my life ahnost! Have you j>ecu very anxipua, Mark? Waa I so HiT’ "You have been very Hl. dear," he an­ swered, “and we have been very anxious; but our anxiety is almost over now, and wo are only waiting for you to be a little stronger before we take you away to rome warmer clime where your rotes will come back to you.’’ "Who are ‘we,’ Mark? You and Goody, or you and Uncle Norman T” "Does It round very strange to you to hear me say *we’ when I mean the earl nnd myself'?’ he asked, smiling. "Ho ha* been very good to me, Barbara—far kinder than I deroryed.” She shook her head with a faint, wistful smile. "Then you are friends, Mark?" "True friends, dear, for always." She turned her face toward the window in silence, while two great tears rolled down her cheeks. With more than a wom­ an’* tend/rness the man at her aide dried them and drew her pretty head upon his shoulder, "Are you able to receive any news, Bar­ bara?" he asked then, forcing himself to ■peak lightly. ‘‘Did Goody tell you that there were feme wonderful tiding* which you had yet to learo?" "Ye*," ahe answered languidly. "What are they?" Having thus skillfully brought the con­ versation to the point he had been aiming for, Lord Hatton gently told her all the wonderful thing* that had happened since she had swooned nt their previous meet­ ing iu the police station at Arlington six weeks ago. • The murder mystery was *olved by the confession found on the dead body of the man who bad committed the deed. It wo* no other than Mr. Sinclair, Lord Elsdale’* private secretary. In his coufe«*ion he had told of his secret, mod infatuation for Barbara, of his insane jealousy of Walter Bryant, his di*covejy of what seemed to be hi* intimacy with the young girl, hi* tracking, him into the woods nnd there shooting him. All this he confessed when he learned Barbara had been suspected of this crime, and then killed himself on the very spot where he had committed hi* mad deed. But this was not all of Lord Hat­ ton’s wonderful news. Before he left Bar­ bara that day she knew that he wa* nut Mark Robson, the actor, but Nowell Hat­ ton, the son nnd heir of the Earl of Elsdale—the man whom she had believed killed In the railroad accident, the man whose place shethad occupied a* heiress and in the affection* of her adopted father.

Bursting of Big Gai Brinm Death and I By the bursting of a huge gns reservoir in New York seven persons were killed and at least twenty were injured., The ga* tank, one of the largest in the world and 200 feet in diameter, was new. Ten workmen were testing it. and for that purpose had filled it with water. When almost full the great steel structure burst nnd an avalanche of water overtook the workmen, crushed the adjoining build­ ings. one of them a tenement, and deluged the streets with torrents of water waist deep. Iron and steel beams, band* and plates were thrown great distance*, and • in the flood aud debris men and women and children struggled for life. Immediately the explosion was reported the gas was shut off from the mains in that part of the city to prevent explo­ sions and the mains from filling with water. Streets were in darkness aa well as homes and store*. No one ha* nn ex­ planation to offer for the catastrophe. The contractor and his chief engineer were taken into custody by the police, to be held until the responsibility for the acci­ dent should be determined. They pro­ fessed ignorance of the accident.

I have been engaged, for nearly twenty year*, almost constantly in writing, designing, and making adver­ tisements. For a good share of that time, 1 have devoted myself to study­ ing methods, and aiding in the develement by newspaper articles. I shall now see what 1 can do to help oat tlie progressive merchants who so liberally and, I believe, profitably, patronize The News. . • First let mo say (the editor does not pay me for this part of the article) that I consider the typographical ap­ pearance of the ads in the NEWSabove criticism. Set in handsome faces of type, appropriately displayed, they should be and are profitable invest­ ments. Now, let us consider what constitutes a paying ad. I cun sum it up in a very few words. A paying ad. is one which sells goods, and establishes a lasting reputation for integrity and value. “But” you ask, “what are some of the characteristics of a good ad”? Perhaps I had better set these down in order, commencing with First. Abso ute truthfulness. Truth must be told about the goods, and truth onlv»% Yet it must be t»o told that it will be more fascinating than fiction. You may rest assured that the least untruthfulness in yotir ad. will-be discovered, and return upon you as a boomerang, destroying the effectiveness of your efforts. Second. Attractiveness. There must be something in the language used in description-of goods which will attract the eye and hold the at­ tention sufficiently to impress the mer­ chant's individuality and desirability of dealing with him upon the minds of the reader. Third. Common sense. The word­ ing of your ad. should be appropriate to the goods sold. If you want to sell coal stoves, it is utter folly to talk about the war with Spain, or the last visit of your mother-in-law. If peo­ ple read your ad. at all, they read It because they want to find out why your p tove is the best for their use and money. And don't be too flowery in telling of its merits. ‘‘This stove makes greater heat with less coaL” Is a far more convincing argument fom. “The caloric engendered by the use of this magnificent heater " surpasses competitors and with less combustion of anthracite,” for the reason that the former is.plain common-sense,andpeo&le who have money to spend for RtOYM ave no time to si»end in struggling with rhetoric and florid expressions. Fourth. ;Convincingness. Every word used in your ad. should be like the blow of a hammer wielded by a lusty arm, driving into the mind the nails of salability. Avoid weak exrTensions. Make’ use only of such anguhge as will serve to convince the reader that there is only one man selling the particular article he needs. and that’dealer is yourself. Fifth. Completeness. The ad. should say enough and no more. There is a point in the use of expressions, beyond which au ad. should not go. Reiteration kills profitable publicity. Say what is necessary in such a way that the reader sees at ouct the point. The above five points cover the Sround in a general way, but of course >e ad. is modified by the clientele, surroundings andjseasons. You should never advertise unseasonable articles, for your customers will say you are tiehind the times. And it is of no use to. try to sell spectacles to a blind man. Too many advertisers imagine that to get their money’s worth they must fill every atom of space with small type.’ This is a very erroneous and nnprofitablejdea. “Too much said, too little read” although a new prvverb,' is none the less true Give the print­ er a chance to display and at the same time leave some white space. This allows a contrast which is pleas­ ing to the eye and a valuable Addition to the effectiveness of the ad. Let me add just a little about con­ tinuity. The man who really desires to do profitable advertising must keep at it all the time. Because trade is dull, or it is the off season, mutt not stand as an excuse for non-appearance of the ad. The business of an ad. is to create demand, and if tho dealer does not need this creation when trade is dull, I don’t know when he does. Foe. Foster Relle. Parsnip Complexion It does not require an expert to de­ tect the sufferer from kidney trouble. The hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, tlie sallow parsnip-colored complexion indicates it. * A ph f Kiel an would ask if you had. rheumatism, a dull pain or ache in the back or over the hips, stomach trouble, desire to urinate often, or a burning or scalding in passing it; if after pass­ ing there is an unsatisfied feeling as if It must lie repeated, or if the urine has a brick dust deposit or strong odor. When these symptons are present, no time should be lout in removing the cause. aC'S3 flhJB Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the bladder, inflammation, causing stoppage, and sometimes requiring the drawing of the urine with instruments,, or may run into Bright's Disease, the Hnd fioiv much to Pay for It - Puzzle a whole world just now.

Williams kept a little grocery store in Harlem, just across the Misourl River from Kansas City.

He planned that if ever a fire broke out all he would have to do would be to run to th#- outside of his store, rip the weatherboarding from the window, and get his money. Recently a fire did break out and destroyed Will­ iams' store before he could get -at his money. In the morning he was prodding around the hot ashes in a half-hopeless way. and to his joy, fonnd the great bulk of bls money. He picked out $1,740 in $5, $10. and $20 gold pieces.

An Interesting experiment in tele­ graphing tacroris space was conducted by Marconi recently for the benefit of the Dublin new'spajMTK, which desired to make a practical test of tbe possibili­ ties of wireless telegraphy. The trial consisted in the transmission of de­ scriptions of the yacht races. The messuges were sent from distances vary­ ing from five to teu miles, nnd were published In successive editions of the Evening Mall. Not n hitch occurred, th*' Instruments working splendidly, and not a single uwsauge had to be re­ peated.

Probably three-fourths of tbe receipts for grain stored In the other elevators were burned, or for a considerable time were lost or other­ wise unavailable. Hence tbe business was thrown Into confusion, was, in fact, rendered next to Impossible. Rem­ edy was bad of the Legislature at the called session In the month after the Are. In tbe exigency* act, authorizing the delivery by warehousemen of grain stored prior to Oct. 8,1871, without tbe production of any receipt therefor, upon presentation of proof, under oath, that the receipt originally Issued for tbe same was destroyed In the Are. There­ after the business went on as before, and, after about a year, more prosper­ ously than ever. The six burned ele­ vators were rebuilt and several more added to the number. At the present time the trade is not conducted at all as It formerly was, so far as the elevators are concerned. And It must be admitted that Chicago Is not the market for grain it once was. This la something of an anomaly, for it would be hard and take long to explain how It is that, while the production of grain in tbe Northwest bns steadily and enormously Increased, the number of elevators in Chicago has not materially Increased. For one thing, corn that was grown In the Northwest reached in quantity 838.000.000 bushels in 1870 and 2.800,000,000 bushels last year. Still, the public elevators of Chicago carry. In comparison with the whole, very little of this vast amount. With wheat and other grain the case is much tbe same. A short explanation of-this Is that the multitude of railroads all about Chicago are nearly all diverting grain shipments over straighter routes to tbe seaboarjL- Grain Is no longer voluntarily slpfipcd to Chicago, the pub­ lic as well as the private elevators have to send out and buy for their needs. More than half of the elevators are pri­ vate and have a capacity of 18,000,000 bushels. A private elevator is. for ex­ ample. that of the Glucose Company, a company which uses In Chicago alone 26,000 bushels of corn each day and in all of Its factories 90,000 bushels dally. Other manufacturers take in something like similar quantities. All this corn Is shipped direct to tbe manufacturers and. of course, makes no showing in the statements of the amount of tbe trade in tbe city as supplied by tbe pub­ lic elevators. Tbe public elevators are twenty-one in number and have a ca­ pacity of 32,000,000 busbela. The ca- The Photo-Getter. The craze for Illustration has created a new occupation, that of the photo­ graph-getter. Tbe photograph-getter accumulates a collection of rare like­ nesses nnd rents them out at so much a head, to be used for illustrating ar­ ticles. People who are known to be approachable are not worth so much In the field as those who are suspected of objecting to notoriety. The pictures of conspicuous society women who are frequently heard to declare that they would not give their photographs to anybody for publication, are rated in New York at $5. or perhaps as high as $7. Those of women whose features have appeared once or twice In prox­ imity to type bring only $2.50, but all have a value. Only pictures of pro­ fessionals are valueless to tbe photograph-gette;*. They are a drug In themarket, no matter bow unique or artis­ tic. The photograph-getter should be, If not actually In the swim, nt least close on the verge. Here flve-doUar and seven-dollar photographs can be secured only by consummate diplo­ macy. “I’ve turned In six photographs this week,’’ said a veteran of the craft to a Sun reporter the other day; “all never published before.

Surgeons at Oakland, on the bay op­ posite San Francisco, have resorted' to tbe use of kangaroo tendons to tic up tbe fractured bones of a broken leg. In order that the patient may have use of his knee while tbe bones are knitting together, says nn exchange. He is a painter, and this Is the second time he has broken a bone of his left leg in the same place.* “To reset the fracture and place the limb In a platter cast until tbe bone knits would destroy the use of the knee joint,” said Dr. Stratton. "The knee had already become some­ what stiff from the first setting. We have decided to make an Incision In the leg at tbe point of tbe fracture of the bone and will bore holes in tbe broken bones. Through the holes we will draw kangaroo tendons, and they will hold the bones together until they knit, without tbe use of plaster cast abont tbe knee. This will enable tbe knee to be bent each day while tbe bone Is knitting. Kangaroo tendon is as strong as silver wire. Lt is taken from the tall of the kangaroo, and being animal in its nature It Is absorbed, and the leg does not have to be again cut open, as Is necessary when silver wire Is used." Red and Dark Hair. Dark hair and complexion, In races as well as In individuals, signify strengih. Dark-skinned races are al­ ways behind the lighter hue peoples in fine civilisation, because the physical predominates among them to the ex­ clusion of the mental.
