r ilKllllirll Iii rKrllirnl TWO M H MI WHO HKRK 0ICTKD OF PBOXAbE. Cli-mrnn EierrUrd on RermnarndatSSSI of the Trial Jvilce, White Planters and .Many rroe. WASHINGTON. Sept. 16 Th President III granted full and unt nndltional pardons to George F. and Harancas F. Cosby, convicted at Montgomery. Ala., of violation of th peonage law. Th. ni'ii wro in dicted for holding Pike Swan?on in a condition of peonage, pleaded guilty on June 30. 1?W3. and on ;h same day were sentenced to imprisonmrnt for a year and a dav in the Fnltecl States penitentiary at Atlanta. They have b-n imprisoned ever since, and to-day were released on telegraphic instructions from the Department of Justice. During the month of June more than eighty indic tments against a number of individuals for violation of the peonage law were returned hy the grand jury at Montgomery, and several convirtions were secured, the sentences Imposf'd ranging from the minimum, one yar, to the maximum, five years. The President granted the parcJona in the above cases on the earnest recoratnendat Ion of Judge Jones, who sentenced the prisoners. In his letter to the President Judge Jones says: "The favorable recommendation now made proceeds on no idea that the senfenees were unjust, but solely from the conviction that the punishment already undergone by th prisoners has accomplished all the real nds of the law in these casesr The prisoners have undergone the humiliation of Imprisonment in the penitentiary. the sting of contamination by their neighbors and associate and the wide publicity of their of-fci's-. There Is no ground for believing tt.it they will ever again, under any circumstances whatever, engage in like practi. They attempted no defense, but pleaded guilty at the earliest opportunity. They were contrite and admitted that they justly deserved punishment The leform of offenders themselves, so far as the law contemplates that, has been completely effected by the punishment. '"The question of pardon may. therefore, properly be considered now solely a? regards it? effect upon the administration of justice and the public welfare. The law has boon thoroughly vindicated and the evil Rainet which It was directed, in theo i mrrunlties. has been completely crushed. Connivance with the abuses of corrupt magistrates in that locality, In the exercise of power to hire out offenders for payment of rtne and costs on conviction for small and often shameless offenses, in order to rdn BtofU f the hirer, has been thoroughly exposed and broken up. It has met the hearty reprobation of the great mass of the people in all walks of life The example has been all-suffiei nt to deter others from like offenses in the future. "Among the signers of petition for pardon are many negroes. They f"lt safe from any repetition of like offenses, and join with tbeir white neighbors in these petitions for lenitn y. believing:. In this instance, that it will redound to the public good, and smooth the relations' between the races. The great body of the people i l Tallapoosa county have, in effect, beome sponsors for the good behavior of the prisoners, and the loyal observance of the ia-jr in this respect by all others in the future. A public opinion, stronger even than the power of the law. has been aroused to stand up fn the future for justice and Tfcir play to the weak. Granting the prayer of these petitioners would recognjie and strengthen these moral influences, which, at last, are the only enduring foundation of a reign of law. I cannot doubt that good would come from granting the prayer of the petitioners. "Apart from these considerations, there are others which are deserving of weight, tleorge D. Crosby has a wife and six children, the otriest a girl of twelve, and the youngest, a baby born since his imprisonment. His wife is sick and quite feeble. Barancas Bosby has a wife and two children, and his wue is about to be confined. Roth the prisoners are men of small means, and left their fair iiiea no support. The families of the tvo ''osbys have been moved to the home of the father-in-law, an infirm confederate :.o!dier. now seventy years of age. They are dependent upon him for support, when he Is hardly able to care for his own family. Th condition of the families of these prisoners appeals keenly to the people of their co'inty. and has enlisted in their behalf the efforts of many good people In all parts o the State, wh , while express. ng nothing tut condemnation for the off nse nave in letters and personal interviews strongly expressed the belief that it would have a wnolesome moral effect under all the circumstances, now to pardon the prisoners. After much reflection and consideration of fhe matter. I unhesitatingly recommend an immediate and anconditional pardon." Sappllea to Be Taxed. WASHINGTON. Sept. 1.-The War Department to-day received a dispatch from Manila, stating that the Philippine Commission has decided to assess a duty on Insular supplies imported from the, United States. The act of March 8, 1903. confirming the Philippine government bill, made effective a provision for the free entry of supplies into the Island for the I'nited States army and the Insular government. The Philippine Commission, however, holds that it I justified in levying a tax in fairness to local merchants on all supplies intended for the Insular government. Their 'jeot is to encourage local merchants to keep Id stock goods required by the Philippine government, even though they will cost more In consequence of the dealer having paid the duty.

Paasienarera Prayed and Screamed, and the Stokers Are Reported to HaTt Refused to Work. NORFOLK, Va.. Sept. 16.-The Old Dominion liner Princess Anne, Captain TapIn. from New York to NY-rfolk, with a passenger list of one hundred, steamed slowly into harbor to-night with her cargo badly listed, ten hours behind time. The Prteesss Anno left New York without the slightest intimation of the fierce wind blowing up the coast to meet her. Consequently, when, at 1 o'clock this morning, off Kenwick island, the full strength of the gale struck the ship, the captain and crew were takeu completely unawares. The shock of the lirst SI a awakened all the passengers, who rushed half clothed, weeping, praying and screaming from their staterooms in an effort to reach the deck and boats. Every door and window was closely fastened, the hatches battened, and orders issued that no one, save the crew, be allowed upu the decks, already waist-deep in a seething mass of water. According to the report of the passengers the force of stokers refused to work. Captain Tapley drew a revolver, and pointing it at the crowd, ordered them back to work. They obeyed. At the time of the mutiny the ship was In only six t u fathoms of water and drifting nearer shore. The report of the mutiny cannot be confirmed from the ship's officers. flfartoan passengers, it Is said, were more or less seriously injured. The steamer Ouyandotte of the Oid Dominion line, which left New York three hours after the Princess Anne, had not been reported from Capo Henry at midnight. HT FAVOE OF MINERS. Decision by the Anthrnelte Bonrd of Conciliation. PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 16.-The contract miners of Coxe Brothers & Co.. of the middle or Iehigh coal district, obtained from the Board of Conciliation, which met in the Reading Terminal to-day, the right to select and hire their own heljcrs, a right which is considered of much Importance to the men and their union. The protesting company withdrew its objections, only stipulating that the companv should have the right to object to the selection by the miners of lawless or otherwise objectionable laborers. The board also decided that Uie laborers working in the Coxe Brothers' mine should receive an advance of 10 per cent, in the case of the contract loaders at the William Penn onlliery of the Susquehanna Coal Company, the board also awarded an advance of 10 per cent. In wages. Secret Grips and Sia;na. WHEELING, W. Va.. Sept. 16. At today's session of the International Union of Steam Engineers steps were taken toward the formation of secret signs and grips. A resolution was adopted recommending to the American Federation of Labor compulsory arbitration of disputes between rival labor bodies. Delegate Bradley, of Michigan, fought hard for a resolution calling on the Federation to compel machinists to eliminate a clause barring colored men. but it was ruled out. The Cincinnati union presented S resolution, which was adopted, calling on the Federation to compel the Cincinnati Trades Council to admit delegates from the local. Mines to Be Xonnnionised.

ANTHRACITE PRICES CUT. Independent Operators Without Morset Fnellltlea for Surplu Output. PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 16.-Officials of the Reading aud Pennsylvania Railroads say that no steps had been taken toward a curtailment of the output of anthracite coal and that the matter has not even been considered. It was admitted, however, by an official of one of the companies that the market for the domestic sizes was practically dead, and that some curtailment of output would have to be made soon. He added that he would not be surprised if the mini rs were put on four days a week in a a short time. Meanwhile Independent operators without any storage facilities for their surplus output are said to be cutting their circular prices for the domestic sizes as much as 40 ren.s per ton. offering the coal for $3.35 at the mines, as against the circular price of 13.75.

Sept. lS.-President Diaz read his semi-annual Aeangga to Congress at the opening session of that body this evening. The message declares that Mexico's relations with all foreign powers are wholly friendly. The moage gives much space to education and the l're-ident notes the growth of the public schools in the federal district and territories and says that prgfgggfl have been sent to the United States to study manual training schools. The rail vays show a growth of 4.12 kilometers. Postal communications have been both improved and extended.

The President speaks at length of the measures taken by the government to prevent the general construction of railways in this country, which in his opinion would constitute a public danger and menace to the future prosperity of the Republic. The military arm has been strengthened, modern weapons bought and supplied to the troops. CASE IS NOT DISMISSED JIDGE IRELAND OVFRRl I.F.S MOTION IN TRIMBLE RIOT TRIAL. He Is Not Willing; to Judge the evidence to the Extent of Taking the Case from the Jury's Hands. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. EVANSVILLi:, Ind., Sept. 16.-Special Judge Ireland this afternoon overruled the motion of counsel for William Trimble that the riotous conspiracy case against him he dismissed on the ground of insufficiency of proof and the trial was resumed. The reasons for dismissal, as set forth by the defense, were that the witnesses named had been omitted from the returnable indictment, and that there had been no proof of a conspiracy under the terms of the indictment. In summarizing his reasons for a denial of the motion to dismiss Judge Ireland said: "The Indictment herein charges a purpose and a result. Is there proof? The defense asserts thai there is not. Connecting ii.is defendant with the uniting of the purP' ie and the result. I Wouldn't want to jc.ogt the strength of the evidence in this Case so far as to take it out of the hands Of the jury. In a civil case where the final adjudication rests with the trial judge the Jury has no figure. Here it is otherwise, and I overrule the motion." Several witnesses were introduced by the State before It closed, but nothing of a sensational nature was elicited. The defense put several witnesses on the stand and is endeavoring to prove an alibi so far as the conspiracy charge is concerned. An effort is being made to show that Trimble merely went through the jail in order to prove to the mob that the negro was not there, and that he was acting in a peaceful capacity. EARNED 22 PER CENT. Merchants' Ice ( ompany Old a Thriving Business. The stockholders of the Merchants' Ice Company met last night at Germania Hall for the annual election of officers.

The present officers of the company were elected to succeed themsclv.-s for the ensuing year. The capitalisation of the company was lnci.:f.i from $40.000 to 150,000, and the greater part of the new stock was taken by stockholders present at last night's meeting. Additions will be made to the plant at once, as the capacity at present is not large enough for the consumption. Hoxed Tweuty-Eive Rounds. SAVANNAH. OaV.

IN THE OLD PRINT SHOP

tri: mhes to hi-: foind by delv MM i odd orm:rs. Mctt York YYaitina: for (lie American Dickens to lnke It Fnmons Some Collection of Rare Prints. New York Press. When a Dickens appears to do for New York what the English writer did for London, he will find no lack of material to his hand. And he will probably psy many visits to the old printing shops of this city. Many of these are scattered along the east side of Fourth avenue, not far above Eight street, and there is one in particular that might form the basis of another tale of "The Old Curiosity Shop." In the one small window that peers out upon the street hang a few ancient prints of departed celebrites. Within the air of the place is that of quiet and repose. There is no hint that this store belongs to the rushing metropolis of America. ftsmmrrrlsllsia Ills eager insistence to sell something is strangely absent. There are no clerks, no typewriter, no office boys, no counters, even. There Is not a soul in sight. But the shades of great men of two continents are there. Engravings of them hang upon the walls, covering every available inch in the long gallery, except the ceiling. There are Oeorge and Martha Washington hobnobbing with Leasing and Thomas Von Savoyen; Lincoln, Napoleon and Oeneral Orant. Side by side with others far too numerous to mention are large engravings of the pulling down of the statue of George III on Bowling ;reen and of Washington's triumphal en try Into New York. Imperceptibly there steals over the visitor as he toBS along from picture to picture the spirit of a bygone day when the great masters waought so skillfully, with patience and without haste to reproduce in black and white works of art that to-day are among the world's valued treasures. After he has hadsufflcient time to come under the influence of their spell, there comes leisurely out to him from the inmost recess of the place the holy of holies as it were a placid seeming genius, bespectacled as to his nose, and calmlv puffing at a strong cigar. When this presiding genius of the art treasure- has satisfied himself that the visitor is of the elect, he will dismiss the engravings on the walls with a Wave of his hand and the remark: "These are ordinary; I've got something better inside." Then he will invite him into the sanctum where drawers, tables and r -ks are stuffed full to overflowing with Innocent looking folios of engravings that make the connoisseur gasp with envv and delight. A thousand dollars worth of them can be crammd into a pigeonhole. Many of them are so rare and valuable that the owner ares not whether he sells them or keeps tlieni yet awhile, for they are better than money in the bank. Their value is continually Increasing, and all the time he can have the pleasure of poring into their beauty. An old prim shop of this kind deals in all kinds of engravings, and in engravings only. There are steel engravings, copper plates, mezzotints and etchings in plenty, but no lithographs or photographs. WIDE RANGE OF VALl'ES. All the old masters are represented in numerous examples of their best works, and ot more recent date are the large collections of Americana old prints relating to American history and to old New York. The collector desiring a print by Rembrandt or Diner. Cruikshank or Leech, can get it easily by paying the price. The wide ranpe in values is indicated by saying that they vary from 10 cents to $2.00 apiece. At any and all prices the demand for them is great. A dealer will sometimes sell as many as 1.000 in a single day, and he sends them to customers in all parts of rhe country. They are wanted by private collectors and publishers or books and periodicals. Especially large is the reojuest for small print portraits to illustrate books, and many thousands of them are sold yearly at prices rangln fmm 10 to 30 cents each. A dealer will keep on hand a large supply of these portraits, and as far as possible as many different portraits of the same character, so that the fastidious patron may pick and choose until he gets suited to his taste. No collection is complete without a supply of tta old English priius in colors. These are rare and extremely pretty, especially those of sporting subjects, and run in price from 5 to $4o apiece. Their value Is enhanced by the fact that the process of coloring by which they wen made is one of the lost arts. The collections of American and New York prints are particularly rich. He would be an unpatriotic American that could look into the features of Daniel Wehster wearing his plug hat or those of Lincoln as nobly represented in Johnson's famous engraving without feeling a warm glow of pride. And just u that moment it would be appropriate for him to sten across the room and examine the letter press copy of the Declaration of Independence, done on India paper and valued at upward of $3,000. Then, lest in his pride of patriotism he should forget to b humble, the placid man in the spectacles will carefully take from a locked drawer a small parcel wranned in dssue paper. It is an original playbill of Ford's Theater for the night of April 14, 1S6, when President Lincoln was shot while witnessing Laure Keene In "The American Cousin." One of these bills is valued at $50. Going haphazard through his treasures, the man of prints makes it Clear that he has catholic tastes. He displays a tinv volume which Is now bought for $75. and hard to get at that price. It Is Valentine's Manual of New York of the year 1841. In the same class is the old clerical directory of N w York, a mere pamphlet, dated 1S34. and now bought for $5. Locked away saf Iv in a cabinet until such time as the price is forthcoming are the original papers relating to a celebrated case the abduction of Morgan by the Freemasons. But these things are only incidental. The buying and selling of prints develops a taste for the rare and curious that crops out in other lines like these. SOME OF THE COLLECTORS. As to collectors, the largest Individual gatherer in America, or perhaps in the world, is Evert Jansen Wendell, who has a particular penchant for prints relating to the drama, America. Napoleon and old New York. Mr. Wendell's collection occupies the four floors of his home, at No. 8 East Thirty-eighth street, and is valued at anywhere from $250,000 to $500.000. For the last ten years or more he has purchased the gems at all the principal sales held in the country, including the Daly. McKee and GUS? sales. B. C. Williams, of the Stock Kx hang s sii'd to be a large collector on drama. New Y.rk and sporting prints. Of collections Of more modern subjects perhaps that owned by Mr. Edgar of No. 155- West Fifty-eighth street relating to the American and Spanish war is the most extensive and complete in this country. K Gottschalk, who has had a long experience In handling print, says there are many collectors among professional and business men who are known as collectors only within their own circle. Many eminent doctors and lawyers are lovers of old prints. r.e of the most persistent hunters for old curios and books is r s. Wait, a lawyer of No. lO Wall street, who owns a rare old library of first editions of Milton and other writers and an extensive collection of engraved portraits .f distinguished persons. His Bartollozi collection is also worthy of note. The old prints sold la New York come mostly from England, France and the Iow Country. Germany contributes a goodly share of the Dürers and little masterpteces. From Italy have come the Marc Antonio aud Plranesi prints; from France the Edellnck. Mantelul ai d Drevets. England has had many famous engravers. By far the most eminent etcher of all times is Rembrandt. His works are now selling at such prices that soon none but the very rich will be able to possess a specimen of his work (ne of his masterpieces, known as ihe Hundred Gulden Piece, easily comasands l ,-dav from $3,006 to IM0Ö, the exact pries depending, of course, much upon the impression. in America the largest dealers in these high-priced and rare prints are a firm on Kast Sixteenth street of this city. In their shop can be found boxes and portfolios full

I f f the rarest prtats. The stock is estimated J

to be worth from $3'.ti0i t $400,000. The extent of business done in old prints :s increasing daily. It Is only within the , last decade that people are realizing the beauties of the old engravers' art. As the I old prints become scarcer, while the demand for them is steadily growing, prices are continual Ijr going up. This year finds en gravings selling at a much higher price than ever before. The supply is running out. Tlvre will 1- fewer engravings imported this year than within the last twenty years. The reason is that they cannot be found in sufficient numbers to keep abreast of the demand. The value of a print depends upon the enKTaver, the subject and the condition of the print. The experienced dealer can estimate nil of these points at a glaix e, and it is extremely eapy for him to put a higher price upon a print than it is really worth. In our domestic market rare Washington and Lincoln engravings command a high figure. The favor in which they are held by collectors is snared by the old prints relating to the early history of New York city, of which tin n i a large supply on the market. AS TO THE MARRIAGE AGES. Arc There Times in Every Woman's Life When Anybody Will Do? Baltimore Sun. There are times in every woman's life, according to a high feminine authority, when she will marry anybody that comes along. These times are when she is seventeen and tweuty-seven. Between these ages she is discriminative, and after the second of the two she is apathetic. To ihe girl of seventeen, it is said, the Idea that she makes a real live man's heart go pit-a-pat is so ecstatic that In gratitude for the distinction of a passionate proposal she easily fancies she is in love. She. thinks her refusal to marry Augustus will break his heart and send him to an early grave. So she weds him out of generous pity in order not to wreck his life. She says "yes" and learns afterward that Augustus's heart is tough and had survived numerous prior desperate attachments. At seventeen It Is any man any individual sufficiently inoffensive to allow her to I nourish unchecked the illusions which her self-love cherishes. For at this age man is only the occasion, not the object of her affections. He is only a dummy; it is she who occupies the whole stage with her swiftly varying fancies and caprices. At nineteen she had evolved ail ideal. It is no longer any man. but a particular man a man. tall, dark, passionate looking, with a Byronic air. One at war with iTis kind and of abnormal opinions in type. He ! may be pessimistic aud melancholy. His merit is that he finds in her the beauty, purity and innocence that restore his faith in humanity and make happiness again a rational hope. A year later she is still romantic, but exeprience begins to make 1 her a trifle more practical. The spectacu lar beau of striking physical aspect is refined Into the strong, earnest man, who looks at things in a lofty, high-minded way and has a fad. Her idol may be a matinee hero, an unappreciated genius, a social settlement worker or a long-haired poet. It is a time ot danger. She may accept a theological student or elope with her music teacher. Such is her missionary spirit that she is capable of marrying a drunkard to reform him. With twenty-two there is less risk of such unpromising ventures. She begins to enjoy life in its objective aspects, without exclusive reference to her subjective meditations. Matrimony, like heaven, is a cherished aspiration, but social Incidents have become interesting. She sees farther than before into the chama of US as others play it and It entertains b?r. Many tepid admirers, she thinks, are be'cr than one who is fiery. In short, she is having a good time and Is averse to exchanging the gayeties of life for a humdrum husband. If she marries at this age, she is likely to make a discreet choice. At twenty-seven, however, comes a period of panic, and, as ten years before, the danger is gnat. It is seen that her couteroKraries have nearly all married. The girls who were her schoolmates are settled matrons and boast the virtues of their children. She accordingly begins to feel lonesome. The younger set put her aside or ask her to chaperon their parties. Perhaps a gray hair awful sight !-i-makes its appearance. Is she an old maid? The idea affrights her. She loses her nerve and plunges wildly, taking the first man that offers. Foolish matches belong to this period (he superannuated beau or the widower with ten children. Spinsterhood has its own pleasures which the spinster at thirty-five begins to appreciate. The panic is over and a period of calm and contemplation succeeds. Many marriages of friends have turned out badly and there is consolation in seeing what one has escaped. Iovc is all right, but she sees that in many cases it was unequal to the trials of matrimony. It Is not the only thing to be had in view in marriage, an establlshmeig. with ample income, having in it the promise of a dignified life. If not ecstasy. The subsequent stages are few. At "forty," says Dorothy Dlx. whose authority we have been following, "the old maid is hopelessly addicted to her latch key and her own pocketbook, and her matrimonial chances are nil. Some few widows who have acquired the habit of having a master, and are lost without one, marry after that, but the spinster rarely does. When she does, however, she throws judgment and reason to the winds and marries to please a sudden fancy."' USING ONE'S L.EISIRE. F.ven Those Who Have bat Little May Make It Profitable. Hamilton Wright Mable, in the August Success. There are some men and women whose work is so heavy and engrossing that they have no leisure; but such people are relatively few in number, and are, as a rule, at the head of a great enterprise. Practically all young men and women have some hours from work which need not be devoted to exercise and sleep two things which ought never to be overlooked or neglec ted. Thf-ce unoccupied hours are of priceless worth if they are wisely used. They determine the value of the working hours because they educate a man to use and enjoy what the working hours bring him, for a man's ability to enjoy success depends cn his intelligence, his tasks, and the variety of his interests. Many of the most successful business men have so many interests, outside of their busiuess, that they can always give themselves the rest of a change of occupation, and can get pleasure and profit out of any form of leisure. They understand that, in order to use wealth with judgment, and to get satisfaction and happiness out of it. a man must grow rich in mind as fast as he grows rich in pocket. One of the most substantially successful men of the time recently said that in his bovhood he revolted against poverty, not because it denied him the luxuries of life, but because It curtailed his freedom, and he resolved that he would gain freedom at all costs. Having an unusually clear mind, this boy decided to get an education first, and become rich afterwards; he went through college and theu made a fortune. His extraordinary influence and usefulness are largely due to the fact that he has kept his inward growth in line with his outward advancement. On the other hand, there are few more pathetic siectacles than a man who has grown rich and remained ignorant. Every increase of his wealth only makes his inward poverty more apparent, and he gets out of his fortune only his housing, his clothing, his food, and a small sense of power. Nw. It is the use of the leisure hour that equips a man to use wisely what the working hours bring him. The working hours develop his character, if his principles are good, while they Increase his fortune, but they do not give him broad views of life, knowledge and love of th best things. These are gifts and fruits of the leisure hours, for the leisure hours constitute a man s educational opportunity. No man who has a few hours every week which can be used as he pleases should remain uneducated. Education is not a matter of schools, colleges and universities; these are valuable Instruments and aids to education, but they are not so essential that the man who cannot command their privileges need remain uneducated. Some men are better educated out of college than in it. All highly educated men, no matter how liberal their opportunities may have been, are self-educated. The school and the colh ge teach men how to study and what tools to use. but when they have done with the school and the college, they are only at the beginning of education. topped the Antomobillsta.

heads, wheu the courage of the occupants of the car waned, and the machine was brought to a sudden stop. The drivers waited patiently while the cattle man drove his herd to one side of the road, and after thanking them kindly he allowed them to pass, without even so much as referring to the ugly disposition they had shown until he had forced them to wait. MOUNTAINEERS TURN OUT. Ride to Jackson in Force to See and Hear SalvntionlKts. JACKSON, Ky., Sept. 16. -The marching and exercises of the Salvation Army that is touring the feudal districts brought a very large crowd from the mountains to this city to-day. The parade and services here last night attracted large crowds, but It was not until to-day that the rural distriets turned out on horseback, in ox carts and all sorts of vehicles, many also walking great distances. The meetings here are so successful that Colonel Holz has decided to omit Hindman and Hazard from the itinerary and remain here over Thursday. The horseback ride of thirty-five mlhps over the mountains with a local guard to Salyersvllle will be made on Friday and continued thence for three weeks, organizing local detachments of the Salvation Army at different points. The religious services as well as the instrumental and vocal music command close, respectful attention ever -where. WAIfl HIS WIFE AAI. Thonnrht She Did Not Inderstand Hl Artistic Temperament. New York Telegram. Alois G. Buyens, artist and seulptor. who eloped some weeks ago with Marie Prayet. one of his pupi's. because the wife of his youth and the mother of his grown children "did not understand his artistie temperament," wishes to come home. A severe tit of nostalgia has dented the sentiment of his sere and yellow a&e, ho to speak, and he longs for the companionship of his salad days. He has written a letter to his grown daughter, in which he sa.vs he wants to see his wife and that he has learned by bitter experienee that he does not love Marie. Marie in a burst of confidence has also confessed that she was only infatuated and that she fears sh does not appreciate the "artistic temperament" as much as she thought she did. She is therefore willing to call the elopement off and return to her home in Belgium. Of course, Mrs. Bürens will forgive the man With the artistic temperament and the hunger for a piece of pie like mother used to make, and put an extra plate at the table on the day "father" is due at home. It's a way women have. It will be remembered that Mrs. Buyens did not criticise her husband harshly when he went away. She simply said he was mistaken when he wrote she did not understand him. This statement was somewhat vague at the USDS, hut the sequel shows what the deserted wife meant. She probably fully realized that she was the only person on earth who did understand him. and she will no doubt be less surprised than any one else when told that Buyens Is pining for all tve comforts of his old home. In the first letter to his daughter Mr. Buyens "dropped into poetry" and naturally culled a gem from the "Fire Worshippers" to iudicate that, like a silly child, he had been burned and dreaded further coutact with the flame. "It was the old story." he said Pleasure are like poppien spread. We irrasp the flower. Its bloom ia ahed; Or. like the anowflake on the river. A moment white, then gone forever. His first letter was written on Aug. 12. It was addressed to his daughter Valentina. In it he said he had read the newspapers, and continued: "When I eame to that sentence if mother's. 'I shall do nothing to m.ct his life to interfere with his artistic work, whieh I know Is dearer to him than anything in this world. I am old the other woman Is young. 1 understand him. His artistic temperament led him astray. He must not be judged as other men are' when I read that part it cut me like a knife. From that minute I have had no rest. My only desire has been to see her. Do you think she would see me? Can you prevail on her to take me back? 1 appeal to you." SICK OR ILL. Latter Word Has Displaced the Former, Although Less Valuable. New Orleans Times-Democrat. "Shall we say that a man is very sick or that he is very ill?" asked a young man who takes much interest in the study of words. "Or shall we use both words without any sort of discrimination? Which word more nearly describes the condition? An answer to this question will settle the whole problem a problem recently raised because of the increased tendency to give the preference to ill. Personally I am very much inclined to the word sick. Sick is the stronger word of the two. It is clearer because less involved in the entanglements which mark the evolutionary processes. Sick describes more exactly the state to which it is applied. We, of course, may say that a man is very ill and still be perfectly understood. Because of the popular and extensive use of the word no ambiguity aitaches to the expression. 'He is a very ill man.' But isn't sick clearer, more exact and more forcible? I think so for many reasons. In the first place, sick is more restricted in Its meaning. "Ill has been given an extremely broad range. Its synonymic relation to otn r words is extensive. Bad, poor, wicked, low and other simple words are sytmnymically related to 111. Besides, ill Is variously usf.i as a prefix to other words, as ill conduct, ill bred, ill mannered, and it has been used even as a prefix to health. If ill is preferable to sick would It not be infinitely better to speak of a man's sick hea'.th. Heaith can as easily become sick as It becomes ill. 111. when used as a prefix, means bad bad health, for Instance, which, by the way. is worse English. Health cannot be bad. Hut health may sicken that is, the robust, vigorous, well-balanced physical state embodied in the word health may become impaired by the setting in processes of decay and disintegration. Health is always good. Health means hale that is, whole, fair, sound, an! so forth and hence 111 and bad, as prefixes to health, are simply grotesque, shocking and almost inconceivable, all of which would seem to sustain any idea of giving the preference to sick. To repeat what I have already said. It is clearer, less involved, more definite ard more forcible in its meaning, and comes much nearer describing the state to which we are in the habit of applying It. Still there is a growing tendency to give the preference to ill. as regretable as the- fact may seem under the circumstances." One Hundred Persons Drowned. IX)NDON.
