KSTHKH WAITE.

U, WHO KNKVV Ksther Waite loved her. She was very handsome and her sweet manners won her many friends on all sides. Without kith or kin in the wide wo rid many wo ndered

why she had reached the ane of 28

(imuarrioil. She held a responsible position and the work conneeted with it she so loved that she often said that o seemed more play than work. One old winter night she eame into

her bright room dissatisfied and unhappy In her pocket was a letter containg a proposal of marriage. Ihis and its train of thought clouded her brow. Harren hopeless- her future life looked to her that night. \> oat would the years bring? She Could not always work, her beauty now so exquisite in Ms mature development must in a few year- fade. Her friends would go away, other things would take up their time and attention. She admired the man who had asked her to share his fortunes. He would he a pleasant companion and even if she did not love him as she knew she could love some one what difference could it make’ Drawing her couch near the window where she could look out across the hay she sunk into a reverie. Time thes so quickly, yet men have told us that lifetimes have been lived in a few

moments.

On (he veranda of a stately home a lady sat talking to a little browneyed girl Seemingly all of earth's blessings had descended on her golden head. She had beauty, wealth, love, yet the look of utter desolation on Iter face was pitiable to see. All her friends nad said that Esther Waite had done well. She had everything she wanted. Why wasn't she happy? A. little time Itefore with a party of friends she had visited our northern lakes. One day she had taken a rowboat and growing weary had let it drift •into a little inlet. She lay back against the seat. All nature seemed singing the glad song of life and Esther, too. was glad The heat and fatigue of rowing and the gentle dip of the boat gradually lulled her to sleep. Very beautiful she looked as she lay there, the sun shining on her golden head and her profile turned toward the shore. Thus Emerson Shore found her as he cimo down to tjie lake for some water He was an artist of independent means. Early in life he had lost what was dearest on earth to him and something in Hie sleeping woman's face reminded him of her. With a hound liis heart went out to the sleeper All the love lie hr.d repressed,

HESSIE, OH. BESSIE!’’ sacrificing it on the shrine of the dead, burst forth. Without warning Esther awoke and looked at him. For a moment neither spoke. He raised his hat and slowly walked away. Being guests at the same hotel, they were formally introduced not long after their first meeting, and before she fully realized it Esther loved him. She loved -im as only a strong woman can 11 id she never met him her life would have probably run on smoothly, happily to the end. Her husband was indulgent and generous, but she missed Hi'- fine intellectual perception, the gentle tact and that something that makes us love one person and be indiff< rent to another, in Emerson Shore she found it ill So they parted, Esther to go to her stately home, he to his ■work in Hie western citv. No one dreamed of how her heart was torn She was more lovable than ever in ..er efforts to hide her pain. Had it not been for Hessie, her little ■ hild, slip fell at times that she would die. She idolized her in a way that alarmed her friends. Still her heart kept longing, longing to see that other face. A letter lay in her bosom. 'Esther, oh, Esther, come to me. •Who can appreciate and love you as I do?’ It went on urging her to come to him and together they would go away to where no one would know them. Happiness and rest with each other would lie had. She had pondered long and had decided to go. Her tittle valise was packed. When darkness threw us covering over the world «he was going going to him. Brilliantly she entertained tier guests Hiut night. She caught her husband's eyes as they gazed at her in proud satisfaction, as hg would look at his horses, she thought, her lips curling scornfully. At last the guests left and she sought her room. Excitement jlushed her face, tier eyes flashed brilliantly. Seeing her reflection in the mirror she rejoiced that she was bgautiful Suddenly the door opened and she received a quick summons to Bessie's ^•ooiu. “Miss Bessie Is sick, ma'am. 1 have

sent for the doctor." "Sick; what is it?” Esther cried. “Croup, 1 am afraid,'' was the answer. All night they worked over the little girl, but it was apparent to all but the distracted mother tthat she must go. The sweet eyes opened, a smile wreathed the baby lips as the mother raised het—a sigh and ail was over. “Bessie, oh, Bessie!” Esther cried. A weight oppressed her, some awful coldness seemed to grip her throat. She opened her mouth to scream, but no sound came. With a mighty effort she sprang to her feet. Over the turbulent waters of the bay the sun was just rising. She looked around her, dazed. The room was the same. In her picket lay the letter. Sin; iiad been asleep. The letter received a negative answer.

[rural free delivery. For more than seven months the experiment of mail delivery by carriers in agricultural sections of forty-four states has been in progress from a certain number of selected postofflees. In at least one respect this experiment has been an unqualified success; the \ people take a decided interest in it, \ arc benefited by it. and do their utmost to facilitate the work of the carriers. The farmers urge, and in some cases demand, the continuance of the ser-

vice.

The delivery is most easily and effectually performed by the aid of the bicycle. A wheelman, carrying in a bag swung from his shoulder from thirty to forty pounds of mail, covers a route of about twenty-six miles in from three to four hours’ time. Two carriers are employed on such a route. Every farmer along the route usually provides for the earners' convenience a box. which is placed near the road on a post or a tree. Of course the bicycle can lie used (ini'.' when the roads are good enough to afford wheeling. As a general thing, it is available only after the first of April in the spring, and until snow or mud renders the roads Impracticable in the fall. Even within this period there are Intervals when the carrier can not ride the wheel. At such times horses and wagons must be rest rted to, and ineso increase l lie cost and time taken to deliver the mail. Indeed, an autnority on the subject declares that good roads and rural free delivery of mail go together, and that daily delivery can lie depended on onlv when the road bed is in good condi-

t'.e n.

The result of th» experiment lias alriany been to further the convenience and assist the material progress of the chosen uistricts in wmch it has been tiled. If it has also been a conspicuous practical example of the benefit of good roads, its good effects will !>e by no means limited to those districts, but will extend to the whole country.

Klectrio Traction.

An important advance in passenger transportation lias been made by one of the large railroad lines leading out of New York city. It has become an established fact that long-distance transportation by electric power is not only difficult in many ways, but is altogether too exzpensive to be practical. This new departure takes up local passenger traffic and conveys for a short distance an enormous number of people at a very high rate of speed and a very small cost to the company. The most notable feature is the introduction of a third rail, which takes the place of the ordinary trolley wire. This rail is placed on blocks midway between the main rails. The risk to the public has, it is said, been very largely removed by fencing the roads and forbidding travel thereon. The rail is broken at crossings and the current is cut out while the train is stopping at stations. Taking into account the enormous weight of the locomotive, which in itself requires a tremendous power to move it at a high rate of speed, it is easy to see that power applied merely to the cars themselves may he relatively less than that which drives the ordinary train. There is one advantage in the electric line, which is of itself sufficient to commend it to the traveling public. There is a total absence of smoke, cinders and dirt and infinitely less vibration and jarring than by the usual steam cars. While there is not at present any prospect that electricity will be used for longdistance transportation, it is very evident that this is the coming power of the immediate future for short runs and near-by passenger service.

I.nnlly “lie Smythes." “When it comes to hooking a Norman prefix in front of Smith or absolutely transmogrifying poor Smith into "Do Smythe" one wonders how these degenerate Smiths can sleep in . their beds for fear of the wrath of the "old artifiesrs in metals,’’ says a I writer in Good Words. This liberty | taken with a cognomen is not only in bad taste, but shows absolute ignorance. "De" must precede a territorial name; an occupatlve surname was never so entered: it was, of course, “Le." You will thus find him entered in many ways, including "le Smyth,” e. g., "I hillip le Smethe,” "Henry le Smeyt,” “Gilbert le Smyth,” “William le Smyt," hut never a “De,”

A PLUNGER AFLOAT.

SUBMARINE TORPEDO COAT SUCCESSFULLY LAUNCHED.

Two Set. of Motive I'owei—Ve.vel to He I'ropelled tiy ste.m When Atlout and by a Motor When Subinergcil —No dun,. HE Plunger, a submarine torp e il o boat of the Holland type, designed for the United States navy, was successfully launched at the yards of the Columb i a iron works at Baltimore the other day. The Plunger is in almost every respect similar to the Holland, recently completed at Elizabeth, N. J., but it is claimed for her that some of the minor defects in the Elizabeth boat will be remedied when the new one is completed. The boat is cigar shaped and is built of steel throughout. It is eightyfive feet in length and eleven feet live inches in diameter. When floatin.; light it had a displacement of loo tons, and when down to the load line lti7 tons. Two sets of motive power are provided, one for the afloat and awash condition and the other for the submerged. Twin quadruple expansion engines, with steam furnished from a water tube boiler, will operate twin screws when afloat or awash, an 1 a seventy horse power motor fed by forty-eight chloride cells will furnish the power when the vessel is sub-

merged.

The steam power electric dynamo and storage cells are so connected ns to be readily reversed in their action, thus rendering it possible to recharge the cells from the dynamo, the steam engine being used as a prime motor. The electric power may also be connected to the propeller shaft placed in tlie axis of the boat, in addition to the connection with the main propeller shaft. The motor may thus operate a special propeller in addition to driving the main shaft independently of the steam engines. The capacity of the storage cells is amply large to prevent Injury or deterioration while giving off the power required to propel the vessel at a speed of about eight knots for at least six hours. It is confidently predicted that the vessel will reach a speed of sixteen knots in the light condition.

a stop valve, leads from the service nt.* reservoir into the end of each tube ro facilitate the expulsion of water from the tube by mentis of compressed air. The primary object in a torpedo attack is, of course, to destroy the enemy. But the safety of the crew must be considered as far as is compatible. In this boat ample provision has been made for each. Provision for a good amount of fresh air is made !y a large amount of compressed air carried in manganese bronze cylinders Bi tlie water ballast spaces. When a descent is made the Kingston valves at the bottom in the water spares are opened and the air in these spaces allowed to escape through th>' valves placed at their upper ends. The blower is stopped and the furnace and asli pit doors, which are provided with fireproof packing, are closed air tight. The smoke stack is telescoped while the cover of the aperture through which it enters swings around and drops over it, where it is tightly damped. This requires very few seconds, and in the meantime the little vcsrel is rapidly sinking and is almost awash. The vessel can he brought to the surface in several ways. If an anchor at a depth of twenty or thirty feet all that is necessary is to weigh anchor. If running submerged she can be steered to the surface by the horizontal rudders when the ballast tanks can be emptide by an ejector. She can be gunk to such a depth that it would be almost an impossibility far an enemy to hit her with any missile whatsoever, while on the other hand, she can approach the largest war ship now afloat without being seen and b!ow r her into atoms.

1 and the sum thus raised to be forwardj ed for disposal. The German emperor almost invaria- | bly travels in his own white enameled saloon carriage and whenever he or the empress or any of the princes or princesses of the imperial family or any of the German sovereigns travel by train the same is always under the charge of a high railway functionary. The king of Slam is expected at Berlin at the end of August, where he will be the guest of the kaiser, and will later go to Hamburg, where he will be present at the grand review to he held by the German emperor in that neighborhood in September.

ROYAL MEN AND WOMEN. As soon as possible—that is, of course, directly the London season comes to a close, the princess of Wales and Princess Victoria of Wales will return with Prince and Princess Charles to Denmark. They will remain in Denmark at least two months, so it is always a great comfort to the queen to have her eldest daughter with her, and the presence of her mother and sister will also help to make the time pass pleasantly for Princess Charles in her Danish home for the brief period she will remain there. Early in October the princess of Wales will go to Scotland, and in November her youngest daughter will return to England with Prince Charles in order to spend the winter months at Appleton House.

A l av of the “Badger” Hen. From Superior, Wis„ Citizen: We i have read of Maud on a summer day, ' who raked, Imre-footed, the new-mown hay; we have read of the maid in the early morn, who milked the cow with the crumpled horn, and we've read the lays that the poets sing, of the rustling corn and the flowers of spring; but of all the lays of tongue or pen, there's naught like the lays of the Badger hen. Long, long before Maud rakes her hay, the Badger hen has begun to lay, and ere the milkmaid stirs a peg, the hen is up and has dropped her egg. The corn must rustle and flowers must spring if they hold their own with the barnyard ring. If Maud is needing a hat and gown she doesn’t hustle her hay to town; she goes to Hie store and obtains her suit with a basketful of fresh hen fruit; if tlie milkmaid's beau makes a Sunday call she doesn't feed him on milk at all, but works up eggs in custard pie and stuffs him full of chicken fry; and when the old man wants a horn, docs he take the druggist a load of corn? Not much! He simply robs a nest and hies him townward—you know the "rest. His poor wife stays at home and scowls, but is saved from want by those self-same fowls; for while the husband lingers there, she watches the cackling lien with care, and gathers eggs, and the eggs she’ll hide till she gets enough to stem the tide. Then hail, all hai! to the Badger hen, who lays and cackles and lays again! Corn may be king, but it's plainly seen that the Badger

hen is a rustic queen. C'hll<!r<‘it Drew Lots.

while she will be able to reach fifteen knots with three feet of water covering the hull and not less than eight knots while submerged. At these speeds an endurance of fifteen hours awash and ten hours submerged is anticipated. She will carry no guns >r ott er armament except five automobile torpedoes, to be launched from two expulsion tubes. Two additional torpedoes can be carried if desired. A complete shell surrounds the vessel from the stem aft to about threequarters of the length of the boat. The forward open space within the inner shell contains the torpedo expulsion tubes. Abaft of this space is the boiler, which is incased in asbestos, with a double thickness, and an intermediate air space betwee.i. Abaft of the boiler is the engine room, containing the engines, condenser, pumps, blower, dynamo and connections. Abaft of the dynamo the air compressor and the ballast tank are

placed.

Such is the interior of the vessel, but the space between the inner and outer shells is important in the disposition of materials, and in the operation of the boat. The expulsion tubes are in the bows, and the section of the vessel between the stern and the forward bulkhead, in the space between the two shells, contains two horizontal tubular spaces in prolongation of the expulsion tubes. The remainder of the space in this compartment is enclosed and fs used as a sea water tank, which can be quickly emptied when necessary. The pressure for forcing the water out is compressed air. Above the tank are placed three magazine tubes to hold automobile torpedoes. Each tube is provided with a water tight door and with a piston. From the forward end of each magazine tube a pipe fitted with a check valve leads backward through the bulkhead and out through the shell of the boat. Another pipe, similarly placed, is fitted with a stop valve and ccnnected to operate from the torjiedo room. Another pipe, fitted with

The choice of name of Tatiana for their little baby has given the people the most unbounded delight and consoled them not a little for their disappointment at the sex of the little imperial stranger. Tatiana is a name that belongs essentially to the people; it is one hitherto unknown in the imperial family, and by making so marked a departure from tradition and thus making their little daughter, so to say, a princess of the people, the czar will have won the hearts of hundreds of thousands of his subjects. But the little grand duchess has done even more still by her coming to bring Russia peace, for she is to have a French nurse from Bayonne and the French are consequently jubilant. • The queen dowager of Portugal, Dona Adelaide, widow of the late King DonsMiguel I, took the veil on June 13 at the French Benedictine convent at Soiesmes, her majesty having served her novitiate there for a year. Dona Adelaide, who was born in 1831, was a princess of the then reigning house of Lowenstein -Wertheim-Rochfort, was married at the age of 21 to Dorn Miguel I, who reigned for nine years and was the last in direct lino of the ancient royal house of Braganza, being succeeded after the revolution by the Saxe-Coburg branch now on the throne. Dorn Miguel and Queen Adelaide had seven children. Their son, the present duke of Braganza, who is a geneial of dragoons in the Austrian army, is an ardent sportsman and well known in English society. His six sisters all contracted brilliant alliances, one being the bereaved Archduchess Marie Therese.

RAM'S HORNS.

Christ's summary of the law shifted the scene of the world's tragedy to the heart. Our eyes cannot see who it is that is bearing the leprosy of God's curse about with him. No man is a Christian until he la able to appreciate goodness for its own sake, aside from any of its benefits. We dread the open shame of the day of judgment, but really our present inner complacency is more terrible. What we call forces are only God's methods, and they are as secret as he is. “No man hath seen force at any time." “No man hath seen God at any time,” says the Bible; neither hath any man seen a man at any time. He is a spirit, too. John Newband Moffet said, "The reason why Christ left the napkins in the sepulchre, was to wipe the women's tears.” The God that gave the birds the migratory instinct to fly straight to their goal through the pathless air, and the fish to steer their way through the unchartered seas, will guide aright "the pleasing hope, the fond desire, the longing for immortality" In man.

| 1 Irwin Brown for

'w v ,rv£l murder of his

^ cousin. M. E.

Crull, of Richmond, Va., formerly of Jamestown, N. Y.

, , , This is one ot the XM, VlX most remarkable s ^' j: cases of crime for a small remuneration that has ever taken place, and the trial is of an exceptionally interesting nature, i he story of the crime is substantially as follows; On Sunday night, June 13, 1887, the body of a floater was found at one of the house-boats lying about a mile above Sistersville by some of the inmates. When the body was taken out of the water and conveyed to Sistersville it was found to be in a very badly decomposed condition, and at th same time it was supposed to be the remains of some unfortunate who had tired of life and had passed lo the great beyond by the suicide route, and the only thing done was to take a description of the remains and then give them a decent burial. The newspapers published a description of the remains, and Mrs. Emmanuel Crull, of Richmond, Va., was at once struck with the idea that the description fitted her husband, who had started for Sistersville a short time before with his cousin, intending to make a trip overland. Mrs. Crull at once communicated with the authorities in regard to the matter, and a more thorough investigation was made of the affair, with tlie result that a wagon that had been standing at a point near where the remains were fished out of the river was examined, and everything was found to tally exactly with the outfit with which her husband left Richmond. Inside of three days after it was known that something was wrong me supposed murderer was in the toils. On Thursday, May 27, of this year, Crull and Brown left Richmond with a wagon and four horses, on their way overland to Sistersville, where Crull intended going into the livery business. Crull had been induced to make the trip by Brown, who had told him some very glowing tales of the immense amount of work to be had there and the good prices paid, Brown having been in Sistersville several days while on his way from New York to visit his kinsman in Virginia. After leaving Hichmond. they stopped at the home of Nelson Crull, a son of the murdered man, who lives at Irving. Va., on the James river, about thirty miles from Richmond, and there the fifth horse was got. When Crull was at his son's he remarked that he had plenty of provisions and about $25 in money, and it is believed that it was while stopping here that Brown conceived the idea of murdering his friend and taking possession of the outfit, at least it seems that from that time on he was constantly looking for an opportunity to pick a quarrel, and at every point at which the outfit stopped there were people who have said the men were

quarreling.

The men proceeded on their way, and after three weeks traveling arrived at a point in Richie county, two miles from Pennsboro, and this is where the crime was committed. An examination of the ground at the poiir where they camped over night showed conclusively that was where the crime had been committed, as a spot was found in the middle of the wagon

On Thursday evening the outfit camped at Wick about eight miles in the interior of the county, ami wmle there he asked a farmer to loan him a spade, as he had some spoiled beef in the wagon which he desired to bury, but there was no spade to be had. He left there next morning and started for Sistersville but camped again on the way In. Saturday afternoon he passed through Sisters ville about 6 o'clock, and drove to the point above, near the shanty boats where the body was found.
