We have not observed that any attempt HI;
been made to adjust the differences in this o'fe

had that method of settlement been agreed to
by both parties before extreme measures were
taken. Some of the engineers demands

IN some points the difficulty might have been
avoided; and it may not be too late yet ioh
such an adjustment. The company S business

Some rather important things were done and
developed at the meeting of the Bridge trustees
yesterday. Under the sharp fire OF newspaper
criticism the trustees have found out through
their counsel that the proposed placing OF ad-

and so they scnsibly rescinded their actloh Oh
that matter. 1t would have been good thihg

The important fact was disclosed that frcSl-

"Boss" Mclaughlin and several of his lieutcn-
ants are largely interested. Hence MIR. How
ellis solicitude to give it every advantage pos
sible in making connections with the Bridge.
His action ought TO convince the purbiind
trustees who have hitherto refused to bclievd
it that the Bridge is part of the Democratic
machine in Brooklyn. Why should the Rcpub-

PROTECTED AGAINST INHUNANITY.

-
The Fisheries Commission has paid doubt
fup compliment to Canada. IL has considered
it necessary to place the people of the Maritime
Provinces under treaty obligations not TO act
ike savages. The Xth and XIth Articles will
enable American fishermen taking refuge III
Canadian ports under stress Of weather to enjoy
privileges which are possessed by shipwrccked
sailors on the coast Of every Christian country.
They will not be required TO report at a custom
house for twcnty-four hours. They will be
allowed shelter in quiet waters. They may
repair their vessel or. if it be necessary to shift
the cargo, they may unload, transship or sell
what they have on board. They may obtain
provisions and other supplies provided they
apply for license, and they may also ship
sailors, IL the crew be depleted by sickness or
death. In short, they will have by this treaty
all the privileges which are accorded to tenn
pcst-tossed and shipwrecked mariners on all
coasts save those tcnanted by inhuman sayages
Possibly these treaty provisions were needed
sibcc In one conspicuous instance American
fishermen have been driven most inhumanly
from a Canadian port. A ship which had res
cned Nova Scotia crew from wreck and
taken them TO land was not allowed either Ia
remain in port or to replace the stores consumed
by tho castaways. We had supposed that this
was an exceptional case, but apparently it illus

Looking back at it all now, il seems like

last stood in Colonel Shlnstone's draw

ward me with a wondering look in her
beautiful eyes.
Not a pale, unhappy, simply attired
creature. That detected at the first keen
glance. Not nun, a recluse, a sweet, sad
saint, but a girl in all the flush and glory
of early womanhood, whose rich attire
seemed but the fitting frame for such radi-
ant beauty. My heart gave great bound,
but l took courage to call to her:

Well, she is mine at last. My sudden
disappearance and long absence were
plausibly explained to the public, and
am bound to acknowledge that the crit
les were quite kind; they retracted
nothing of all they had written in my
favor. Still | cherish firm conviction
that they are only awaiting their oppor-
tunity to fall upon and demolish me; hence
am l exceedingly wary. Let me add that
my wife came to me without penny. 1t
was my will and hers as well. And our
home is like heaven. / suppose that is the
reason why, whenever the old fever seizes
me, paint angels only-angels that look

other substances surcharged with moist
ure has been attracting considerable
attention in England. 1t is called the
cool dry-air process, and consists in
passing through the chamber contain
ing the moisture laden material o con-
tinuous current of furnace-dried air
having temperature between 50 and
80 degrees Fahrenheit. Tho moisture
is absorbed by the air in so remarkable
a manner that oak logs are reported to
have been finished in nine days, al
though natural drying would have re-
CURED three or four years. The tenn.
perature is so moderate that delicate

one excuse for being allowed to live. and
that is his pretty, refined and dclcatc-look-

usual trouble over his debts, which he never

Famous Resort.
A Governor and Dude as Drawing
Cards-High Prices Charged
for Everything.

No summer resort in the world contains
such contrastingly high and low degrees Of
character as Coney Island. One end of this
stretch Of ocean beach holds two big hotels,
where guests pay higher prices on the av-
atoga or Long Branch. At the other ex-
tremo of Concy Island are to be found in
wonderful profusion all the elements Of
cheapness suitable to an excursion place
within quick reach of the city. The differ
cnt sections of Coney Island bear such dis
tinctive names as Manhattan. Brighton.
West Brighton and West End. and each has
its distinct characteristics Go to Manhat-
tan and you will see that mixture of elo-
gance and coarscncss illustrative of people
with plenty of money to spend according to
