A MISSING WITNESS

a very important fact in connection with
the investigation of the express robbery was
made public this morning. 1t seems that
at conference of the express and railway
officials and the detectives yesterday. the
baggageman Watts was placed under a
rigid crOSs-eXamiBation. Mr.. Wigants'
secretary took full notes and went from the
hotel where the conference was being held
TO the Office to write ont mis- notes. He did
not arrive there, and after some hours
search was instituted but no trace of the
missing young man has been found. Mr.
Wigant has every confidence in his integ-
rity. and is sure that he has either been
abducted OF has met with fOul.play. Ii is
understood that under the severe crOss-ex-
animation of the detectives. Watts made
some valuable statements. but just what he
has admitted cannot be aScertained.
The youthful Mcdonald turned up to-
night in demented condition near coal
Office in distant part of the city. He
could give no coherent account of himself
and his notes of the baggageman's state
ment are not to be found. There is no
clue to the manner OF their disappearance
or as to the cause of the stenographers
sudden distraction.

The Young Chinese Emperor.

1t is reported in Pekin that the En-
peror intends to assume the government
of the empire in February. 1t is also
said that at the same time he will marry.
The Empress Regent will thereupon re-
tire into private life.
The present emperor of China was
born on the 15tn of August, 1871, and
is, therefore, only in his fifteenth year.
On the 18th of January, 1875, he sue
ceeded his cousin Tsai-shun, who, him
self boy, died without issue, the first
instance in the imperial house of Gioro
for nearly three centuries. The acces-
sion of the little fOur-year- old Tsai-tien
involved some curious features of Chinese
custom, He ascended the throne under
the reign name of Kwang-su, or "Ilus-
trious Succession" a reference to the
break in the regular descent. Very lit
tie is known about the youth who an
nounces his intention of assuming con-
troll of the largest and most populous
empire on the face of the earth. Stories
of boyish petulance and of skill at ar
cherry, which still forms the most i'm
portant point in the education of the
ruling Manchu clans, have floated
about but there is really nothing on
which to form an estimate of his char
acter.
He certainly has more grit than the
feeble and nerveless boy whom he sue
ceeded; but that is, perhaps, not what
is most desirable in his position. AS
ruling Emperor, he is the fountain of
power, rank, honor, and privilege. He
Is the head of religion, as he is also the
source of law and dispenser of mercy.
All the forces and revenues of the en-
pire are his, and he has right to claim
the services of all males between 16 and
go. He will receive the empire in a
progressive and prosperous state, not
withstanding the late war with France.
The Empress An, the Dowager Regent,
who retires, is an exceedingly able wo-
man, who has done more for China, in a
remarkably critical time, than score of
Emperors before her. Under the EN-
press Dowager telegraph lines have been
laid all over the country and railways
have been begun. If the young Kwang-
su follows in her footsteps all will be
well, and the world will be a gamer; but
II he goes back and relapses into the old
Celestial exClusiveness, he will break up
his vast empire, and irretrievable ruin
from internal rebellion and outside at
tacks will be the inevitable result. st.

Queer People They Were.

The BARRIERS shop was next door to
the bakers shop, and the baker had
lust gotten a ton of coal. The coal
had been dumped on the sidewalk, and,
after the fashion of coaimen, much
nearer to the barber's door than to that
of the baker, to whom it belonged.
The barber had just gotten the lather
on customer when one of the genus
tramp came in.
'Put in yer coal, mister2"
mo" said the barber pleasantly
"no, my friend; that's not my coal, you
know"
The tramp had hardly disappeared
round the corner when another opened
the door.
''Put yer coal in fur ye, misterl"
mo" said the barber little sharply;
''the GOALS not mine, l say"
They kept coming, and seven OF them
appeared in twenty minutes; and to the
eighth man the barber is alleged to have
said:
"Gitl The coal amt mine"
"Now, see here" said the shavec,
there amt no use in gittin' mad over it.
Just put up a sign sayin', This coal
amt mine. That's all ye need" .
'Say, you've got great head, " said
the barber; and in few moments he
had the sign stuck on the top of the
heap of coal. :,
"Reckon thatll fix it, he remarked.
The door opened and tall man with
shovel looked in.
"Say, mister, did you put that ere
sion ND. or did the other fellerT
Then the barber closed his shop and
went out and got drunk-with malice
aforethought.
He had only one remark to make
when Justice Mech fined him 50.
''Mr. Judge" he said, cant make
that baker pay me tine4"

A Treasury Girls Romance.

The story going the rounds of the
press about the pretty Boston girl who
became the wife of the late King of
Portugal finds a parallel, though of a
less degree, in the marriage of pretty
Government clerk of this city, says q
Washington letter About ten years
ago the name of Camilla Woodford was
borne on the rolls of the Treasury De-
partment as a clerk in the Redemption
Division. At that time Miss. Woodford
was scarcely eighteen years old. She
was the younger member of an old
Southern family that had lost their for
tune during the war, and was a gentle
woman by birth and education One
day the Baron van Harve, the Belgian
Minister, who was visiting the depart
ment, chanced to enter the room where
Miss. Woodford sat. 1t was case of
love at first sight. The Baron inquired
her name, and, through the chief of the
bureau, requested an introduction. He
called upon her several times and at
last proposed marriage. The lady then
informed him that she was already
betrothed to a fellow-c clerk in the de-
partment. He urged her to cancel the
e0PdEGuleuL, DuL Sll6 uSSAuSu nltIAOuS IL
admitting, had she met him first, that
her answer might have been different.
Finding her obdurate, the Baron resolv-
ed to leave America, hoping in the
distractions of some European court to
forget the pretty Yankee girl who had
| refused his suit. He went to st. Peters
burg, but within nine days returned to
Washington again. This time the lady
smiled more graciously upon him and, in
the end, consented to become the Baron
ess van Harvo. Shortly after their mar
riage, which, I am told, has proved a
remarkably happy one, they removed to
Brussels, where they still reside. What
became of Miss. Woodford's former
sweetheart have never heard, but he
probably accepted the situation philo-
sophically, as what poor fellow of a
Government clerk would not when he
had for rival young and handsome

Plans for the New Cruisers.

Chief Engineer Loring of the Bureau
of Steam Engineering of the Navy
Department is hard at work on the plans
for the new unarmored vessels that the
Government is to build. These vessels
will mark new departure in shipbuild-
ing. They will be required to develop
a speed of eighteen knots an hour, a
thing that no vessel in the British navy
can accomplish. The problem the
engineers have to deal with is a difficult
one. The vessels are small, and yet it
is necessary to get into them engines of
$500 horse power Mr. Loring is conf
dent that these vessels will eclipse any
thing that England has ever built. He
says that while we have not the room in
our navy yards for such work rs England
has, there is no question but that our
workmen can compete successfully with
that country in mechanical skill. One
disadvantage our vessels have when
they are first tried Is that they cannot
be always officered and commanded by
crews who know how to get the best
work out of them. In England, when a
vessel is tested she is put in charge of
a crew of experts, who are kept espec-
tally for that work. Thus the very
best results are attained on first
trial.

LOVE AND DEATH,

Life may hold sweetness yet; I would not
die;
For He might come with smiles upon his
lip;
Then from my heart the weary years
would slip,
And I should greet him with joyous cry,
Forgiving and forgetting all the past
Just for the sake Of love como back al
last,
Oh, life may yet be sweet; would not die
Child Fate has not been kind to you and
me;
Your baby kisses could not ease my pain
While In that other face looked in vain
For signs of what knew could never be,
Often drew away your clinging grasp,
To seek again that cold and careless clasp,
No; life has not been kind to you and me.
Ana Death is coming. All, will Death be
VIII lie, some day, bring me my truant
love2
Or shall float In ether pure above,
Passionless, sexless, and not hopo to find
Him who made life blessing and curse ?
Will Death bring better, happier times, or
worse?
All, Death is coming fast; will he be kind I?
Love, have you never known one bite
hour2
Never looked back with tender, sweet re-
gret
To that past happy summer when we met,
When first I knew my beauty - fatal
dover -
Had chained your roaming fancy2 What
chain
Woven in madness from despair and pain,
And idly worn to kill an idle hour.
Child, listen to me: Love is worse than
Death;
For Death takes all, but Love takes fruit
and bloom,
And leaves the worthless husk to rot in
gloom,
1t takes the crown from life; the weary
breath
Must labor on until Death brings relief,
And blots out all the WEAKNESS and grief,
All, Love Is cruel; merciful is death.

BISHOP FOSTER ON THE HEA.
THEN.

Bishop Foster has recently written a
series of articles for the Independent
which have attracted attention for their
broad and comprehensive reasoning on
the Material, Moral and Religious
State of the World" In one of these
articles the bishop discusses Christian
ity and the heather world, and gives
utterance to some opinions which are
well styled revolutionary by the
Episcopal Recorder in view of the teach
ings of the Methodist Church and the
evangelical systems generally. If the
bishop were not quite so eminent a
parsonage, and known to have all the
courage of his convictions and to be
fully able to successfully defend what
he says, no doubt the "hue and CRY %
of the advocates would be raised over
his utterances. But they now pass
without criticism in the organs of that
church and with very little dissent in
those of other evangelical churches. In
this particular article the bishop says,
with reference to the condition of the
heather world:
"I raise no question about whether
these countless millions can be saved in
the world to come. I do not affirm that
giving them the gospel will improve their
prospects or at all increase their chances
in that direction. Possibly as mamy of
them aoiH be Saved without the gospel as
nth it,"
This, as it strikes us, is very curl
Gus possibly " to come from bishop
of the Methodist church, which has
always been so eminent in its endeav-
ors to carry the. gospel to the heather;
which annually spends many hundreds
Of thousands of dollars in this work
and is now engaged in an effort to
raise Zone million for missions" If
Bishop Foster is not prepared to affirm
anything positive about the gospel i'm
proving the chances of the heather for
salvation, and that possibly as many
of them will be saved without the gos-
pei as with it," it looks as if he can not
be considered a very earnest missionary
propagandist. These observations are
well calculated to "cut the nerve of
missions " in the Methodist Church;
they apparently rest the case of the
heather on different basis from that
on which the evangelical denomina-
lions have placed it all along their past
history. And possibly" Bishop Fos-
ter recognizes the special danger of the
heather from the proclamation of the
