But she did none of the three. Shedid

"Oh, I'm so glad p said she. "Now
l can leave you with clear conscience,
Aunt Mehitable."
"She has been engaged to Philo
Wetherlie for year." explained Miss
Jorgensen. "P'raps you've noticed
her of an evening hanging over the
gate waitin' for him to go by with the

"Oh, aunty, 1 didn'tw said Hetty.
"La, child, it's nothing to be
ashamed Of" said Miss Jorgensen,
chuckling.
Mr.. Pinto bit his lip. He would
like to have pitched Philo Wetherlie,
whomever he might be, over the cliff.
But, however, this had nothing to do
with the white heart diamond, and
when Hetty tripped out again he led
the way as gently as possible TO the
fascinating subject once again.
You were speaking" said he, with
an insinuating smile, of famous dia-
mond which"
"Oh, yes" said Miss Jorgensen.
"The white heart diamond, they called
it."

matters" said Mr.. Pinto, his heart
beating a reveille in his bosom. eff

Miss Jorgensen shook her head.
"I couldn't" said she. "I sold it
three and twenty years ago TO my
cousin, Philo Jorgensen. He was
drowned on the very next voyage he
made to Amsterdam-diam and all,
for he always carried it in little
chamois-leather bag next his heart.
He had very good imitation put into
the setting for me. I've got it some
where upstairs. And, after all, what
could do with thousand-dollar dia-
mOnd? ?"
Mr.. Pinto drew his breath with a
little gasp. Had he sold himself for
the rest of his days for a mere bit of
paste, a fasceted lump of glass, while
all the time the white heart diamond
lay fathoms deep in the sea? Angels
and ministers of grace defend him 1t
could not be
But he had great deal of fortitude
and self-reliance. He played the de-
voted lover to Miss Jorgensen's entire
satisfaction all the evening, but when
Hetty came to call him to breakfast
the next morning his bed had not
been slept in, and he was over the hills
and far away.
In fact he had run away.
Miss Jorgensen was rather indig-
nant at first, but when Hetty ex-
claimed, "He must be crazy man,
aunty," she concluded that all was
undoubtedly for the best.
"But," shasaid, with a smirk, she
was certainly yvery much in lover
Yes, indeed, aunty," said Hetty,
with the utmost gravity.
And thus briefly and logically ended
Mr.. Pintos search for the famous
white heart diamond-Helen Forrest

from places a distance from kastro,
owing to the difficulties attending tray

Along the coast of Western Asia
Minor. or Anatolia, the shocks were
felt with great force and the latest re-
ports indicate that the effects of the
earthquake were severely felt as far in
to the interior as Kulah, over 80 miles
east Of Smyrna.
All the villages between Chesmeh and
vourla are totally wrecked. scarcely a
house being left standing to mark the
sites of the many thriving places which,
Monday. were scenes of life and bustling
activity. for this is one of the busiest
seasons with the people of the peninsu-
Ia. 1t is estimated that about 5000
persons lost their lives in this part of
the country.
The earthquake waves seem to have
followed the coast line all the way.
From Alvah to Malassa, and the whole
territory over which the great shock eX-
tended was at times heavcd simutan

sickness were experienced by nearly all
the inhabitants. Those who watched

that the loss of life i'll that section may
reach 1000 souls, and will certainly
number fully three-quarters of that es-

Miss Terry, the English actress, now in
New York, is very fascinating. She is said
TO be married woman, with several chill
dren, divorced from her husband, and thir-
ty-fiye years old. She has the eoquence of
art in her fine face. There is tenderness and
intensity in it, and great magnetism. She
has all Of womanly attraction, without per
feet beauty. Her blonde hair is curled over
her forehead, and she has slightly amused
and satirical expression as she is stared at.
Altogether woman of force, and character,
and refinement. Mr.. irving, who never acts
without her, is as ugly as portrait of
George Eliot. But who cares? Talent is
beauty in his case. His real name is John
Henry Brodrib. He was born in 1888, and
destined for counting house, but he pre-
ferred the sock and buskin. He began at
eighteen years old at the foot Of the ladder,
nor did he appear on the London stage until
1859.

who now owns a cattle ranch in Texas. Mr..
Thurston is seven feet seven and half inch
es tall, and as he is thin and gaunt and IN
variably wears stove-pipe hat, he never
fails to produce a startling effect upon the
beholder. Moreover, he has acquired sew
eral habits of posture which add to the i'm
preston. For instance, il he happens to
feel tired when walking in the street hs is
accustomed to rest himself by dropping his
arms over swinging sign and reclining his

The New York "Sun" on Governor Buffers

Gov. Butler has gone. The Sweet
Singer of ChicOpee has proved too much
for him, and an interesting and humOr-
GUS figure is thus withdrawn from the
boards. SecOr RObesOn's Robinson will
doubtless prove equal to the duties of a
Republican Governor of Massachusetts,,
which consist largely in ornamental
work, in distribution of diplomas at
young wOmen's boarding schools, in try
ing to look distinguished at cattle fairs
and dinner parties. But where will be
the keen zest of fights political, the stir
ring up of the respectable Silver Tops,
the fun and fury of a hot campaign,
now that the Commonwealth of Bowman
and of Harris falls with might and
weight upon him who stabbed her in his
angry mood at TewksbuTyp
The defeat of Butler might have been
predicted, for he had made himself very
disagreeable, as men who tell the truth
often do. But the forces which made him
successful, for one year, in State that
has been in the forefront of Republi-
eanism do not die with him, If so ire
pressible parsonage can be said to die
politically. We shall live to see the State
Democratic, but not Butlerite. Mean
while there is cause TO be not unthank-
full.
The animated and picturesque Ben
Butler is indeed sat upon, and cannot
be much of. a candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination next year; but Fris-
bee HOar, the spit-6re, is safe, so is the
country, and incidentally it may be men
toned that Mr.. RObinsOn's successor in
Congress will probably be a Democrat

Shenandoah, Pa.
SHENANDOAH, Pa, NOY 12.-Fire broke
out at noon in the United States Hotel,
a large three story structure, at the cor
ner of Main and Center streets. The wind
was blowing hurricane at the time
and continued during the afternoon.
The building was soon envelOped in
flames, which was communicated to the
adjoining buildings north of Center
street. The flames then communicated
with the block on the opposite side Of
the street. At o'clock sixteen street
fronts had been destroyed, including
the United States Hotel, Odd Fellows
Hall, Academy of Music, the Herald
office, Rows Opera House. and the Min
ing Herald and -aturday Evening News
offices. Assistance was telegraphed for
and responded to from POttsville, Ash
land, Girardville, Tamaqua, MahanOy
City and other places.
Over $50 families are homeless, having
lost everything. The loss is estimated
at from $75O,OOO to $1,OOO,0OO. 1t is i'm
possible to give the amount of insur-
ance, but it is supposed to be large. But
few serious accidents happened. A
young man, Geo. HentOn, on his way
home, attempted to jump on a passing
engine, had both legs taken off and will
die. An urgent appeal Is made for help.

BEATING THE TARIFF.

PITTSBURGH PENN, November 12.-The
discovery has been recently made, said
the Commercial Gazette, of ingenious
sheet-iron and their agents. TaggeT'5 8
iron, which is very light grade, is ad-
mitted for 30 per cent. advalOrem,
while the tariff and heavier grades is
from one and a half to two cents per
pound. Importers have put the two to-
gether, and appraisers have been de-
ceivsd into admitting it under the 30
per cent. ad-valOI em, rate. After its
arrival here it would be repacked and
shipped West. 1t is said thousands of
tons have been brought into the evasion

THE PITTSBURGH FIRE.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Nov. 12.-The fire at
the East Liberty stock yards yesterday
morning was extlnguished shortly after
? O'Clock. By concentrating their for
ces on the feed department. the firemen
managed to cOnfne the flames to that
building, although the adjoining sheds
and Exchange Hotel were on fire several
times. In the building where the fire
broke out were six horses and two mules,
which were cremated. Loss 1000, in
surance $5 600 The fire is supposed to
have been the work of an incendiaTy.
The loss by the COllery tannery fire
exceeds 100000, on which there is an
insurance of $4,000, all in Pittsburgh
companies. Owing to Mr.. COlleTy's alb
sence, however, the list of companies
cannot be obtained.
