Mer laughing eyes declared it, her «urlv locks declared it, and most of all was it declared by the great host ®f triends she had won by her gentleness of manner and kindness of heart. She was the kind of a girl that girls Sall down and worship. Many a Seavy-hearted maiden went on her way happier for having confided in &er, tor her counsel and sympathy ; were very comforting. Another characteristic which won tor her their adoration was her dis- ! Hike for the masculine sex, Rather i than undergo an introduction to an , todividuai of that order she would ' aoiss an evening’s pleasure, and al- | though admiring glance; were be-I stowed on her from a distance, the , distance must be maintained. “Such a nuisance,” she would say, ! •‘to th nk we can’t meet a man but , Miat he settles himself back in his i «hair very comfortably, and, after uttering a tew words of encouragement lor our benefit, ex ects to be entertained. Excuse me; I prefer to leatc the lords of creation to entertain themselves.” And so far as she was concerned, they were left to do so. So the rest ot the girls had the <ood times, (and likew.se the headaches) and laughingly told her that she would surely le an old ma d. “Never you mind, girlies, so long as I don’t lose my heart and not be - ebliged to spend the remainder of my days in search of it, I don’t care.” And it was true. No one was more blithe and fancy-free than Rose, as she lived these happy days of her maidenhood with her fond and indulgent parents. The dear autumn days of a neverto be-!orgotten year were fast i'.eetaag and the purling river which rouid be heard mingling its song with thatof the distant water-mill, was 3eaf, when a change came into Rose’s life. Her father died. They tried to comfort one another to their bitter sorrow, but the tears I would flow and the lip would always ’tremble when they spoke their loved ■ ^ne’s name. As the days sped by, -however, the terrible oppression was Sifted a little fro n their hearts. They forgot their own sorrow in alleviating the suffering of others and in healing wounds which only they ®ou!4 touch. It was during a siege of sickness to the Lawrence family that the two (youngest children were taken to the Gary home and given into Bose’s eharge. And he.e it was that Harry Lawren e was often prone to turn Siis steps of a pleasant spring evening, just to see the children and see ; ^ow the patients wore thriving. One evening alter the little ones i ^ad been cuddled away to slumber- I land Rose went down-stairs and (found him playing and humming a i little ballad. As she entered tne j eozy parlor she could not but notice; >ow manly his form, how massive and well sethis head, and, extending her hand to him, she listened to nis sordini greeting and thought: “What a dear, kind friend he is.” The evening passel quickly, as lappy times do, and at last he said: “Just sing me one song and then I’ll ga” “Tell me what to sing,” she answered. “Oh —anything. ” “Well, anything then. I'll take She first th ng 1 lay my hand on. Here it is—‘Beauty’s Eyes.’ I wonder if you’ll like it.” After running aver a few bars she began to sing: “I want no stars An Heaven to guide me, I need no moon, no sun to shine; While I’ve thee, bwcetbeart, beside me, While I know that thou art m ne; » I need not fear v. hat e’er betide me, ♦ For s.raight und sv eet my pathway lies, I want no stars in Heaven to guide ma. While I gaze in your dear eyes.” She sung without the least affectaXion and with so much sweetness and so much simplicity that nd one could ielp but enjoy it. As for Harry, a Apell seemed to have come over him. "What was that feeling which was steeping into his heart so stealthily? ’i¥hat was that thrill that echoed and re-echoed in his heart and soul as ihe still sung on: “I hear no birdant twilight calling, I catch no fishes in the s roams, While your golden words are falling, 1 While you whisper in my dreams. i Every sound of joy enthralling Speaks in your dear voice alone. Wh le I hear your fond lips calling, While you epeak to me, my own." Never before had he felt anything hut friendship for this sweet girl, but mw he knew that love had taken its place. She had captured his heart M her magnificent song. He was young, loving, impulsive. Upon the laipulse of the moment he crossed the room to her side as she rose from the piano with a sm le. “What —must you go?” she was about to say, w.en he seized her 2sanas in his own and bent his pasdonate gaze upon her now blushing *ice.

“Sweetheart,” he whispered; “little sweetheart —I neve • knew before how well I love you. Tell me, my dearest, that you care for me. 1 cannot bear it, if you do not.” Rose could answer nothing, for a storm was raging in her heart. “Did she care for him?” she asked herself. “Could she love him?” Oh, no; she had never dreamed of loving him—and yet—he was so noble, manly, and tender and no one had ever loved her in this new, strange way before. Again her lover whispered: “Rose, believe me, I love you with all my heart. Say that i can call you my own.” “I cannot promise,” she said, “for we are both so young and you cannot yet know your own mind. But if you love me when two years have passed M “And you will care for me?” “A little—but remember, if any pretty girl steals your heart from me I won’t mind.” “As if such a thing could happen,” and. after a tender good-night,” he left her to dream of haj py days to come. Days and weeks hurried by. . Harry was called to a distant » city to enter into business . relations with his uncle. Rose knew ' । well that she would miss her bonnie | lad, but she loved him now so truly ! that she could not bear to think that I he might at some future time feel I himself bound to her unwillingly. At | parting she whispered: I ‘ Remember, dear, if some charmI ing city belle steals that heart of yours—l won't mind.” । She said it bravely, but down in i her heart of hearts she knew she i would mind. As for Harry, looking ; back at her sweet face as she stood in । the doorway, he thought, bitterly: ' “She can’t love me, she doesn’t love me, I know,” and he ielt a dark I gloom oppress his heart. Harry’s 1 fe away in that bustling, Ino sy city was a busy one. He saw i new faces, met new acquaintances, made new friends. He was popular I among his companions and in society. ' Can it be wondered at if, when news from home friends c me rarely, and Rose’s letters were of the most sisterly kind, he found himself seeking the society of the gentler sex and gradually that of one fair one alone. ; He did not mean to be faithless: he believed that Rose did not love him, and did not want his affection. By degrees he felt that that affection was transferred from her to one just ias good and beauti.ul and who, to crown all, ga^ him her whole heart in return. It was nearing the approach of summer when he returned to visit the dear home of his childhood, and there he met Rose coming from the village in the twilight. They greeted each other warmly and then, looking up with that winning smile of hers, she said: “And have you found a real sweet- , heart, Harry?” ... . 3 question;ng glancq adersomeTui^ like a pang wcnttWbugn his heart ; as he answered: “Yes, Rose, we are letrothed. You 1 wouldn’t care for me, you know.” What she said she knew not, but . when he hid left her she strove in vain to soothe the anguish which had taken possession of her her soul. She hadindeel loved truly, but she had lost.—Chi ago News. FEARED HIS WIFE THE MOST. The Juror Knew His Spouse and Therefore Uisobeyed the Court. Cn one occasion Judge Andrew Ellison was trying an important ( ase at Macon City, and was desired to rush ’ it through in order to make way for ; another case coming up next morn- ’ ing, says the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, j The court instructed the jury and ; court officials to return after supper I that night, as it was intended to hold ' j a night session. At 7 o’clock all the ; > officers, numerous witnesses, and the 1 jury, with one exception, were i promptly on hand. Os course, noth- j ing could be done without the absent i juryman. The minutes ran into houis, and still the prodigal didn’t return. At a late hour court adjourned without having accomplished , anything. Next morning, sharp at I 9 o’clock, the twelve jurymen were in the box. His honor scanned the crowd, and asked for the truant. He was pointed out, and the court ordered him to stand up. “Mr. ,” said the Judge, addressing the derelict, “didn’t you un- , derstand the order of the court last I night requring the jury to mu j hand after supper?” ‘■Yes, your Honor,” said the jury- ; man, explaining, “but, you see, I live quite a ways out of town, and my wife gave me an order prior to the court’s order, and her older was that 1 shouldn’t stay in town over night. I considered the matter and concluded it was safer to risk vour Honor’s displeasure than her’n,” be- ; cause, he added, earnestly, “I know i her!” The court looked solemn a moment, ; i as if weighing some m ghty problem, ! then a smile started across his face, i and the bar, court, officers, and spe? : i tators broke out into tumultuous laughter. The juryman was forgiven; f there were many there who could, perha;s appreciate his position. His Regrets and Thanks. | Perhaps the worst embarrassments : of children come when they begin to ■ receive formal invitations and have 'to answer them. Young Jimmy, for ' instance, was much grieved when, j after he had struggled for an hour । with this reply to an invitation, his mother actually laughed at it: “Mrs. JamesNortbupdeclineawith pleasure Miss Dorothy Huntington’s , invitation for the 23d, and thanks her extremely for having given him the opport .nity to do so.”—Boston .

tains are the scources whence spring the multitudinous st:eams making the valleys as fruitful as any on earth. To ' the newcomer from the prairies there may seem to be a scarcity of tillable land, but quantity is made up in quality. The fifteen inhabited islands of the Bermuda group contain an aggregate of 12,000 acres capable of cultivation, less than a half township in area, yet last year the export value of the potatoes, onions and tomatoes sent to the I nited States exceeded half a million dollars, and in addition a 18-ing furnished to thousands of persclu on the is'ands.

It is not the long-* »^vnout, enervating clime of southern li^hds, but the health-giving, vigorous clflniate of the British isles, from whence has come the race that rules the world. Is it too much to assume that like conditions here will breed the heroes who must go north and south and wpst to conquer and build new lands? । The mountain barriers to the east ward off the blizzard and cyclones that desola'othe midland States, and from the tepid waters of the Pacific comes the chinook wind to temper the ardent heat of summer and dull the icy fangs of wii t?r.

Flowers bloom in the oj eri air all through the winter in sight of peaks of snowed ice. Vegetables keep in the gr^.j through the winter, and are duwas needed. A study of the map shows the strategic point on Puget Sound to be Eferett, the tidewater terminus of .ffhe Great Northern Railway, the sHdEgt route by many miles to and fromit^^ east. From 1- verett ships with a im . ber, wheat, an I flour will go to countries, bringing back in returnsl ea 3 and silks from the Orient, fish andlf^.^ . from the vast wa'ers rea hin^ !

The Barge Works, with a steel , whaleback steamship 360 feet long and of 5,100 tons burden on the ways, is the only ship yard of its kind and importance on the coast. The Wire Nail Factory Is the chief concern of this kind west of the Mis--1 sissippi, having a capacity of 1,060 ■ kegs of nails and fifty tons of drawn wire a day, making everything from a thirteen-inch spike down to the smallest brad, in all over 250 varieties. The gold and silver smelter, built ata cost of $250,000, is the finest on the coast, handling all kinds of precious ores. There are a dozen or more lumber and shingle mills in operation, together with brick yards, iron foundries, machine shops, in all some twenty-five or thirty industries. Lumber must always occupy a leading position, Everett commanding the unrivalled forests of this country, through the three principal logwincr streams of Puget Sound, the Snoh(> mi.sh, Stillaguamish and Skagit. For a city of less than three years old Everett has made marvellous progress, and without municipal debt, with 6,000 population, street cars water works, profitable and diversified industries well established, its future is assured.

Telegraphers' Peculiar Penmanship. “An expert telegrapher can always be told 1 y his writing, ’’ said an operator to a Pittsburg Dispatch reporter. “No matter how different ihe writing of expe:t ope a'ors may be, there is a similarity that can always be distinguished by a fellow-manipu-lator of the keys. It seems that there are certain muscles of the hand capable of quicker motion than oth- j ers. A telegrapher vho is compelled j to take down thiity to tl:ty words a 1 minute develops these muscles and i makes them do most of the work. I So the writing of expert operators ! ba; a peculiar resemblance, which is ; particularly noticeable to persons who J ^2°^ness. a telegrapher taught in the schools, in the latter j beauty is what is most desired; In th 1 case < f the telegrapher he must have speed, and great speed, too, or he will be thrown aside. The other day a fellow-operator and myself saw a postal-card. I had only glanced at * it when I remarked that it was the ! writing of a m in who had once been ! a telegraph operator. My companion agreed, and lurther suggested that he had receive;! his education in a railroad office, inasmuch as he dated his postal in the right hand corner, whereas a commercial operator always writes the date in the left-hand corner, as the blanks are made in that form. Yes, and he has been a bookkeeper; for, although the figures : were written hastily, they were in perfect lines, aided my friend. This ' all came from our noticing the class : distinction in the writing of a teleg- ; lapher. Wc asked the man who re- ' ceived it who had written it. He , gave the name of a now prominent i business-man who began life as a 1 messenger in a railroad office, then became a telegrapher, next was given a position of trust where book-keep- ; ing was one of his duties, finally ! launching out for himself in a line entirely fore gn to railroading or book-keeping. The characteristics that had crept into his writing during his early training were still visible. V e bad guessed the history of the man from his writing.” Adoration. Looking into the blue stillness of a nightly sky sown with twinkling stars, every one of which is a sun like our own, or much larger, as Arcturus, which is 550,000 times larger than that sun, every one of these millions of suns, no doubt, having inhabited planets revolving around it, can we marvel at the words of the psalmist, “What is man, O God, that thou art mindful of him?” An infinity of suns and systems of suns, in infinite space, in infinite duration, controlled by infinite Power and infinite Wisdom, and guided to the minutest atom and aggregation ot atoms by infinite intelligence, all beget in rightly constituted mortals the deepest humility, and cause their hearts to overflow with adoration and worship of the Creator. —Pullman Journal. The ^reat industry of Alaska is the catching and canning of salmon. But though the supply of the fish is vast, ' overfishing and destructive methods of fishing are rapidly bringing about such a condition in the business, which gives employment to five thousand men, with nine hundred steam vessels and five hundred fishing boats, that it is seriously threatened.

RIOTING AT OMAHA? GEN. KELLY'S SYMPATHIZERS SEIZE A TRAIN. The Commonwealer Fears the Government and Refuses to Accept-Railroad Officials Order Tracks Torn Up-Coxey Movement Hecoming? Serious. For ten hours Friday 25,090 men of Omaha, Council B uffs and South Omaha s'ood ready to go to any end to help xelly s army. Mass-meetings were held in all three cities, men marched from one to another, appeals were made to the railway officials, to Gov. Ja< kson and to other tources, and finally a train was taken by a committee of railroad men to the camp at AY e-ton. The Rock Bland agent at estoa and a man named Cbitienden sent section hands outside the switche? to tear un the track. Ine fact that a tn in of ten cars with a couple of hundred men on b.ard would be ditched was overlooked in the desire to prevent any aid. from reaching Kelly. Kelly's army was anxiously waiting for result; of the efforts of friend ; in Omaha and Council Bluffs. The people near the place imitated the example of Omaha's citizens and gave the army so :d. Twentyone (itizens of Persia filled le.eral wagons with provisions and drove over to the place. They could not get the railways to move the provisions. The

citizens (f Underwood sent over a load, o comforters and bla ikets. The Milwaukee Com any ran al their trains and cars out from the Bluffs in the afternoon, and then pulled up the tracks near Neola, so tiiat if the men cat tured a train they con d net go far. About 3 o'clock word was passed around th at unless something wa? done before 4 o'clock a move would be made on the railroads. The throng which was pa ked about Bayless Park in Council Bluffs had boon getting cold and was gradually fading away when the beating of a drum was heard on the west side of the square, and a crowd of 200 women headed by Mrs. Herman was seen on the march to the depots. The line was made up of wellclothed mothers and wives, and at almost every corner an accession was received. A' hen the Rock Island depot was reached there wore nearly I,ooj women in line. Arriv d there a committee was detailed to make an inspection of the neighboring roundhouses. This was done, but not an engine' was found. A\ hile the throng wa? in deliberation another drum was heard and a few i blocks west was seen a line of fluttering flags. Tne?e were carried bv the j main body of men on the way to the i transfer. These were joined by the j women and a procession of over '2,009 | wound its way down over the tracks ; toward the depot. Cn the walk jto the depot an engine labeled Union Pacific. No. 1268, was met. and answering to the argument of railway ties on the rails it came to a stop. I Nick AVicks, a veteran engineer, was 1 in charge, and a- he looked out of the ^womeii and a lotoFmencumEeffffiH^ ■<—the cab anAon the tender. Dozens of i others boardel the pilot and ranged I themselves on the sides of the boiler. Then a youthful-looking man wearing a tall silk hat and giving his name as George AVicks climbed into the cab and said: “Papa, you had better get off, ” and papa got off. The young man । with the tall hat evidently knew his j business, and after shooting the engine up and down the tracks for half an hour, had attached to his engine twenty-seven cars with which he pullet out for AA^eston. Desperate Effort to Stop the Train. AVhen the news reached Westen that a train was coming over the Rock Island tracks to rescue Kelly, Agent Chittenden sent for the section 1 oss. This । iniiv dual was ordered to take his men and tear up enough track west of tho ; west switch to prevent the train from l rea hing town. AVork was begun at I once, but before it proceeded far the i Kellyites had surrounded the section i men and persuaded them to desist. | The section men threw down their i tools, one rail having been removed, j Kelly's men quickly replaced the rail I and drove home the spikes. Then I Agent Chittenden came up and or- | dered the section to;s to tear up the j track again. His deliberate attempt to wreck the train aroused the | wrath of the Kellyites. Their denjon- ; strations were such that the agent fled j back to the depot, followed by the section men. The attempt to ditch the train was abandoned and in a moment the headlight shone alcng the frosty rail and a scream from the whistle announced the coining of relief. Gen. Kelly was up-town at the Lemon meeting, bat came to the depot, when a big engineer came forward and sail: “Gen. Kelly, we have here a train of cars to take you 1 ark to Council Bluffs. Come, get on board.” Kelly, after a consultation with his friends, declined to take the train. It would put his men in the light of lawbreakers. Besides, the train was the property of the Union Pacific, and that road being in the hands of the Federal courts Kelly was afraid he would bring the United States authorities down upon him if he took the train. Wire to K iHro^d Presidents. AA'hile these scenes were being enacted. committees were besieging the telegraph offices with messages to the presidents of the lowa trunk lines. The following, signed by the Hon. W. H. M. Pusey “and 5,000 others, was sent to Marvin Hughitt, President of the Chicago and Northwestern: R. R. Cable, President Chicago, Ro k Island and Pacific; Roswell Miller, President Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway, Chicago: Kelly’s army Is at Weston exposed to the elements, with provisions for two days; are suffering terribly, but patient . - <u 1 united In their determination to go through. Have thus far committed no trespass whatever; arc orderly, obedient to all commands of their leader, and are being furnished with provisions and transportation for the same by the charity of the people of lowa. We have thrown the responsibility upon our State authorities for the great gravity of the situation. Cannot you, gentlemen, for the great corporations you represent assume, to do, in the interests of humanity, what you would not be justified in doing except in this great emergency? This was followed by several others in the same strain, and then the committee of six of the workingmen's army sent the following: To R. R. Cable, Marvin Hughitt, Roswell Miller, Chicago: Omaha and Council Bluffs request immediate transportation for Kelly and his army from Council Bluff,s to Chicago.

Instead of drilling they are to be employed on public works, such as canals, vivets, and harbors public highways, etc. To defray tho expenses of this army the Secretary of the Treasury is to issue $5” 000,000 of legal-tender notes and certain ctner forms of currency. The bill specifies the following issues of money to pay the army: Fifty millions to replace the waste and destruction of nnt^a

The Peffer resolution for the appointment of a reception committee for Coxey s army of the commonweal to be known in Senate parlance as “the committee on communications,” came up in the Senate and received some very rough handling. Senator Haw^s ’ dealt the blows, said he would, have preferred to have some member of the dominant i arty in the Senate take the floor, for certainly the speech of Senator Allen, of Nebraska, 6ught not to be al'owed to go ferth to the country as representing in anv decree tho views of the Sf n ite. Provision for the accoirm dation of the army of the commonweal is contemplated in a resolution int oduced in the House by Representative Been (of Minnesota. This resolution instructs the Secretary of War to provide within the District of Columbia a camping ground and tent? for all organized bodies of laboring people who may c< m i within the District,'and to see that their rights a? citizens are respected and protected during their stay here. The resolution was referred to the Committee on Military Affairs. Coxey Has to Pay Tolls. Hagerstown, Md.—The march of the commonweal over from Williamsport was made under most favorable circumstances. The pike was dry but dustless and the trees and fields green with the recent rains. At the toll gate, a mile outside of Hagerstown, there was a delay, the old, whitehaired gateman refusing to let the was another extortion of monoqiolists, and ordered forward the flag. The old gateman respectfully doffed his hat to the stars and stripes, but shut down the bars tight on the horsemen and carriages. Coxey was forced to pay 98 cents toll. The army was accompanied into town by a constantly growing crowd of cyclists, horsemen and pedestrians, and the march through Hager - town to the camp was. relatively, (Tqual to an inaugural procession in AA Tashington. With Hog in Command. Helena, Mont.—Coxey’s army, under command of Hogan, have started from Butte, 500 strong, to march to Washington. Two miles out they attempted, to capture a Northern Pacific freight train. Officers of the rallrcad company wired Gov. Richards, demanding protection and intimating that they would hold the State responsible if the men compelled them to grant transportation. Recruits at Indianapolis. Indianapolis, Ind.—A hundred Indianapolis men have joined the branch . of “Gen.” Frye’s army being organized, in this city by “Col.” Aubrey and. “Lieut.” Salisbury. LIQUOR TO GIVE AWAY. x Supreme Court Settles the South Carolina Uispensary Law. A Columbia, S. C., dispatch says that Gov. Tillman has decided not to fight any further the decision of the Supreme Court declaring the South Carolina dispensary law unconstitutional, and every disqten ary in the State will be closed. The State Board of Control will meet and i sue orders closing the dispensaries. There are at least three hundred dispensary employes in the State and they were all paid off in anticipation of the State going out of the liquor business. Attorney General Buchanan, who is also a member of the Board of Control, says that as there is considerable doubt among lawyers as to whether the decision of the Supreme Court really inaugurates prohibition or not, the State authorities in the course of a day or two will institute proceedings by a test case in order to get the court to declare itself explicitly on the subject. He is of the opinion himself that the effect is to absolutely prohibit the sale of intoxicating liquors in the State. The State now has on hand about $50,009 wo th of liquors which cannot be disposed of except by act of the Legislature. The general opinion is that an extra session will be called in a short time and some disposition made of this immen e stock. In case it is determined that, the State is really under prohibitory law by reason of the decis’on, it is quite likely that the Legislature will pass some stringent law 1 oking to its enforcement. The Attorney General intimated that in such case about 300 constables will be appointed to see that the law is enforced. The general opinion of the peop’e is that the Governor is glad to get rid of the dispensary law. Mrs. Lucy Rosetti, a noted English artist, wife of the critic and author, AA'illiam Michael Rossetti, and daughter of Ford Maddox Brown, the pointer, died in San Remo, Italy. ,«/ The law placing a specific tax on inheritances was declared unccnstitutiour al by the Michigan Supreme Court.
