collect some fine pears, which she dropped
one by one and with great sOlemnity into
her basket. I watched her attentively.
while my wife, with the characteristic
impotence of her sex, tried to make me

vOking manner. ] contrived to remain
firm, however, by grasping strong
branch with both hands. At this moment
the old lady, who had turned round to
gather some fruit which had previously
escaped her notice, caught sight of me.
She was YisIbiy startled, and remained
mOtionless. From under her large hat
shone two black eyes, which lit up every
other feature in her wizened face; as they
were fixed upon me, felt a mOmentary
sensation Of shame. While she scru-

hardly knew what else to do. To my sur
prise, the wizened old lady returned my
bow and curtsied low, after the manner
of our great-grandmothers. At this mo-
ment my wife again shook the ladder,
and to such purpose that L was forced to
descend.

On the following morning an old woman,
the same that sold the edibles at the street
corner, brought US, with Madame JAN

Of her jargOnel pears, which had always
been considered excellent.
We were very much surprised. The
fruit was delicious. Shortly afterwards l
told my right hand neighbor Of the Incl

''It is a sure sign that her end is near,'
said he sOlemnly, "unless, indeed, you
possess a mysterious charm;" and he
glanced comically at me from head to
foot.

NEATLY CAUGHT.

Gresham Circumvents the Paper Con-
tractors With a New Testing Machine.
The stationery contractors, who have
been Systematically detrauding the gov
eminent by furnishing paper and envel-
opes 80 per cent. below the grade specified
in their contracts, says a Washington
special, have been thrown into state of
excitement by the discovery that Post
master General Gresham has adopted for
use in his department a newly invented
chine show that the envelopes furnished
by the successors to the PlymptOn Manu-
featuring Company of New Haven would
only bear TN pounds pressure, while
the contract stipulated that they should
be of the same texture as the sample fur
nished by the company, and which bore
under the same machine 80 pounds. This
shows that the paper was only worth half
what they have been receiving for the last
ten years, according to the contract. The
company was not aware of the existence
of this machine for testing, which has
been recently put into practical use. The
department heard their explanation, and
then drew the test machine on them, and
proved that the paper was not of the
strength they had agreed to furnish. If
the investigation which the Postmaster
General will make establishes the fact
that intentional fraud has been committed,
suits will be brought against all cOntrac-
tors found to have been furnishing paper
below samples.

CRUISE OF A BOSTON BARKEN-
TINE.
Interesting Details of Nineteen Days
Stay at Colon Given by First Mate
Grove of the Albert SchuIfz

Interesting Details of Nineteen Days
Stay at Colon Given by First Mate
Grove of the Albert Schultz.
The Boston barkentine Albert Schultz,
Captain Rich, from Colon July 7, says a
Baltimore special to the Boston Globe, has
arrived in port in ballast.
Mr.. j. r. Grove, first officer, gives some
interesting facts connected with a nine
teen days. stay in Colon. He says of all
that time there was not one whole dry
day experienced.
The yellow fever has broken out at
Panama and was spreading toward Colon,
where there were already a few isolated
cases. There were, however, many
deaths from other causes every day, and
on the morning of the Schultz departure
fourteen bodies passed close to the vessel
on their way to the cemetery at Monkey
hill. Much sickness prevailed.
Every vessel that left that port lost one
or more of their crews by sickness de-
veloped after getting to sea. Captain
Rich, by energetic sanitary measures and
keeping his men on board ship, kept away
dangerous illness. The death rate on the
line of the Panama canal was very large,
and it was the opinion in Colon that the
present season was going to be remark
able for sickness. But little progress was
being made on the Colon end of the canal.
1t was rumOred that operations would be
suspended Sept. in order to make up
complete accounts of the financial condi-
ton of the enterprise up to that time. Mr..
Grove says that life is very insecure in
Colon after nightfau. A good suit of
clothes and the Jingle or show Of money
will mark the owner as a victim, especi-
ally if he moves about alone. Three men
were murdered within a stones throw of
the Schultz. Their cries for help could be
heard from the vessel. When reached,
they were dead and robbed. One of the
victims was an engineer of the New York
steamer City of Para. The two others
were also attached to vessels in port.
The sanitary condition Of Colon is fright
ful. The streets are filled with offal,
which is allowed to remain till GecOm-
posed. Frenehtown, the headquarters of
the officers and wOrkmen connected with
the canal, a short distance from Colon,
is described as beautiful place, in which

One morning / received a message from
Madame Jansen begging me to call upon
her. l lost no time in obeying the sum-
mons, and found the house door unfasten-
ed, circumstance which surprised me,
as the nurse had been dismissed more than
a month previously.
In spite of the heat of that June day, l
found the old woman pacing up and down
her room, leaning heavily upon her stick.
She wore a gray cloak buttoned to the
chm, and ON her head black lace bonnet
adorned by red rose. Her false curls
hung negligently around her face without
the least attempt at decepti13

gagged to marry Count. Now, do not
see why my niece should not also win a

II do not see, madame, how, without

Madame Jansen seemed to be full of this
new notion. She walked briskly up and
down the room, talking to herself rather
than to me.
AtIength she paused, and, looking at me,
said:
'There must surely be starving Count
somewhere in this town who would be Will
she is not to be despised. During the
short visit she paid me l noticed that she
was beautiful. She seems to have had a
good education and there is that about her
which reminds me of my own youth.
Yes, will leave her princely fortune"
was much surprised, but said nothing.
1t would be best, l thought, to let things
run their course. After the death of
Madame Jansen, Matilde would be free
agent. With millions of thalers in her lap
she might defy everything; choose hus-
band for herself; and let the shadowy
Count fade into thin air.
Madame Jansen begged me to prepare
by the following morning the necessary
document for a revocation of her previous
testaments.

to my niece, and as to my nephew, the
Chef de Police, he shall do the honors."
At the bare prospect Of such thing the
old lady rubbed her hands. "COme with

YOUNG HEARTS.

What though the years are flying fast
And silver sprinkles through the hair,
And crows feet come and wrinkles last
In spite Of pride's most jealous care;
That with reluctance we confess
And Growing Oldp' escapes the tongue?
SO plain truth should not distress
IT'S nothing il the heart is young.
That we have errors to regret
Is but the common lot Of all;
There's something to be lived for yet,
To struggle on, Whate'er befall.
It's useless that above the past
The dirges Of remOrse are rung-
Wen fght old time until the last,
And triumph while the heart Is young.
While life exists the life Of hope
Should never be Obscured by gloom,
But brighten all our horoscope
Until our footsteps touch the tomb.
The oldest still have truths TO learns
So faith should never be unstrung;
Our little lamps will CHEEKY burn
As long as e'er the heart Is young.
And how shall hearts be kept in green
When cheeks are sunk and eyes are dim,
When age brings on the days Of spleen
And memory crOOns a funeral hymnf
By finding means Of doing good,
By soothing souls with sorrow stung;
Thus age and death are long WithstOOd,
And thUs our hearts are ever young.

Early on the following morning l was
seated at my desk drawing out the codicil
according to the directions had received.
While thus employed, my wife came in
and told me that strange noises had been
heard during the night in the house Of
Madame Jansen.
"What do you mean 20 I asked.
''The servants say that they heard
sounds as though heaps Of money had been
upset on the ground"
"What nonsense they talkp' said L.
''Why, the poor old woman has not so
much as a bag of crowns in the house.
She has but handful of gold coins-mere
card-counters-to upset. Servants are al
ways imagining all sorts of impossible
things"
l was rather annoyed, because / did
not wish people to get it into their heads
that the house was worth robbing, which
feared might be the result Of such idle
talk.
At this moment there was a knock at
the door, and an old woman stood on the
threshold.

fessions the election of Mr.. Payne 10 still
more significant. The party has never pro-
fessed half the srdor for civil service reform,
even when the possibility of the govern
menrs passing into lis hands was very re-
mote one, that 1t has for crushing out mon
opoiy. For years every Democratic conven-
lion, State and National, has resounded
with tue cry "TAe monopolists must go'
and Democratic statesmen on the stump
have screamed themselves hoarse ac-
cusing the Republican party of fostering
monopoly. Not a Democratic platform has
been framed for years which did not severe
ly arraign the Republican party on this
point and pledge the Democratic party to
defend the laborer against the encroach-
ments of the capitalist. How has
this pledge been redeemed in Ohio?
Ia the same way that the most of
Democratic pledges are redeemed 1t
has net been redeemed at all, but violated.
Mr.. Payne is closely connected with the
Standard OlsCompany, one of the worst
monopolies with which The country is
cursed, and 1t was the influence and the
money of this bloated monopoly which Sc
cured his election. Let US cite little Dem
ocratic authority on this point. Ex-senator
Thurman, in an inter view before the eau
Gus was held, speaking of the probable de-
feat of Pendleton aud Ward, sad: ''But
there is something that shocks me in the
idea of crushing men like Pendleton and
Ward, who have devoted the best porto, 8
o. their lives 10 the maintenance of Dem
ocrscy, by acombinauon against them of
personal hatred and overgrown wealth."
Mr. Thurman ought to be good Democratic
authority. The ''overgrown wealth. which
he refers to Is the Standard Oil Company,
one of those arrogant corporations which
the Democrats have been accustomed to tell
us it was their destiny to crush out. Did
they crush it? Not at all. They succumbed
to it, and on the first ballot nominated for
a seat in the United States Senate the man
whom it had selected for that Office. After
this performances 1t will be hardly worth its
while for the Democratic party to pose, as it
has been posing, as an an,i-monopoly party.
Deception in this direction will no longer be
possible.

birds of an extremely variegated and rather
painfully gaudy pumage, sitting in Will

Her mother was strongly opposed to her
husband INF atuation for the almost inces-
SAINT lodge meetings that were held upstairs.
Overnight an important meeting was being
held, and Miss harlo-te, burning with de-
sire to see what the brethren were doing,
Climbed the old Bailey sweeting apple tree,
which still stands behind t. g hall, to peep
into toe upper windows. What she saw she
never would relate, though it did not terrify
her, But when she slid down from her
point of observation the noise attracted her
father. who rushed down stairs and appeared
before bis family In the kitchen and de-
manded to know if any one had been out of
the house. Receiving no reply. he reiterat-
ed his demand. Charlotte's heart began TO
sink, but her mother was equal to the emer-
gency. Rising in her righteous wrath, she
confronted her husband and sarcastically
askedY

That settled it. The old man left the room

The meetings of the Lewiston board OF
aldermen seem to rival those of our own
board In liveliness. Monday night the board
had hardly come 10 order when one of the
aldermen got up and moved the appoint
ment of committee to investigate him He
schools and school-houses and had become
the victim Of what he alleged to be false
Statements against his character and the
management Of his accounts. Soon after
another alderman offered resolution to in
vestigate the janitor of the tic city hall The
resolution was passed and the janitor was
hunted up aud arraigned before the board
forthwith. He was accused of throwing
water on the city hall floor and allowing the
garrett of the building to become deposito-
ry for all sorts of filth. Both accusations he
denied. he WAS then charged with letting
his friends into shows without tickets and
again he repealed the accusation. Alter the
janitor bad been disposed of aresolution was
offered to investigate the liquor agency and
the charge was made that several aldermen
had allowed the use Of their names for the
purpose OF bringing rum into the city. One
Of Inc aldermen against whom this resolu-
ton WAS directed, promptly confessed that
hs was guilty OF The charge msde, but ex-
planned that the rum brought into the city
IN his name was for sickness. Al this point
the Mayor seems to have lost his temper, for
be proceeded to reprimand the board In very
vigorous language, accusing them of doing
nothing but criminste and recriminate,"
and of paying no attention to the business
of the city. Car mayor, instead of repri-
manding the board for such performances,
would probably have joined in the "shin.
dies" with great relish.
