WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washington, Oct. ist
The Washington acqueduct scan
dial bids fair to be the biggest sensa-
ton the war department has known
for years. The walls Of the tunnel,
supposed to be solidly backed with
stone and cement. are discovered 90
be packed with loose stone without
cement, and at other places with
nothing at all. The feeling Is
very bitter among congressman Of
both parties. Their wrath will be
vented on every one connected with
the war department, Thoughts of course,
it is especially strong against Lieut..
Townshend, who had direct charge Of
the work. and his superior officer,
Major Lydecl1er.
1t is asserted that the latter has
never seen the tunnel, hating as he
doas ANYTHING like selling his hands.

sure the prosperity of American in
dustries? Solely because wages are
higher in this country than in for
eign countries. The manufacturing
operatives in Europe, the shepherd
ers of Australia, the oriental coolies
who raise rice AMI sugar, the French
Canadians who raise potatoes, all
work for wages which are from three
fourths to one-fourth less than the
wages paid American laborers in the
same work. Ocean and rail trans
portation in recent years has been so
cheapened that its cost adds but lit
tie to the price of any product. Nee
essarily, therefore, without tariff
duties on foreign products sufficient
to compensate for the higher wages
paid here, the American market will
be glutted by goods from abroad,

The Earth's Dash Into Meteor Stream.

The earth is now passing through the
great stream of me- eors which has caused
SO many celebrated star showers in the
historic period. If we could get accurate
records of these November displays in
ancient times the myriads of meteors,
known as the Leonids. that have bonn
barded the earth would appear incredible
and alarming. Happily for our planet, its
atmosphere, many miles deep, interposes
over our heads an invisible shield which
but few of these heavenly bodies can pen
citrate. The large majority of them are
melted and volatilized by heat developed
in the arrest of their motion by the air.
The earth will pass this time through
an attenuated part of the meteor ring and
will not encounter its thickest part until
1899 While, therefore, no such STAR
shower as was seen Nov. Is, 1866, can be
now expected meteors enough may be OBJ
served to show that we are in the orbit of
the Leonids. If the weatheris favorable a
large number of meteors may be counted
radiating from the constellation Leo,
which rises about 8 p. m. The best hours
for seeing what is to be seen will be after
midnight, when the moon sets.

horse. Few words were spoken, but many
blows were exchanged, and at last they
olinched and struggled with arms closely
locked. Both men were in imminent dan
ger of falling together into the rock bound
gorge. from the edge of which their feet
were less than twelve inches distant.
Neither of them saw Marie as she stole
up, drawn by some irresistible impulse.
But as, for an instant, they loosened their
hold upon each other she stepped behind
them and deliberately used her strength,
rendered extraordinary by excitement to
throw her husband over the precipice. 1t
was no mistake or slip 1t was broad day
light, and the woman had been specta-
tor of the struggle for several moments.
She had perceived that for one or both
of the men certain death was close at
hand. By interfering, she knew that she
could save one of them a terrible fate; SO
she saved the man she loved, and that
man was not her husband. AS she had
once given up father home, honor, and
peace of mind for the fellow Penrith, who
had shown no appreciation of her sacri-
fee, SO for his sake she became muir
deress, while he, without a word, mounted
his horse and rode quickly away.
Next morning woman, weary, footsore,
heartbroken and almost dead, was found
lying in the apple orchard, at the back of
the old home in jacques Cartier Some
neighbors picked her up and carried her
into cottage near by, where attended
her and tried to bring her back to life.
But, old as I am at the profession of
healing, have no cure for broken hearts,
and in week We buried poor Marie in a
grass covered grave under one of the large
apple trees.
Even in her last moments the dying girl s
thoughts were all of Penrith, for it was
from her own lips that 1 learned the story
of Jean Coutellier's death-told solely
with the object of shielding Penrith from
suspicion and possible punishment.
The strength of her love was Marie
| Gamblers greatest weakness.

Jean Coutellier's unpretentious home
was twelve miles away from jacques Car
tier, away up in the bracing atmosphere of
the fore st-c!ad hills. Right in front of
the house was rocky mountain path,
which at the distance of few hundred
yards threaded the verge of a deep gorge
or defle. 1t was only narrow path and
impossible except for persons on foot or
horseback Wagons and other vehicles
had TO be taken by a more circuitous route
to reach the pike road in the valley be-
meath.
One gray morning in October, Marie
Madame Coutellier now-was pacing SOW
ly up and down the porch in front of her
husbands cottage. Everything looked
melancholy enough up there on the hills.
Ominous clouds were sweeping down the
mountains in sheets of mist and vapor,
and the red leaves hung damp and life
less on the trees. The sunshine and the
summer were gone from nature, as the
sunshine and summer of her life had gone
from Marie She looked very sad and old
for n girl of twenty-five for, although
she tried sincerely to make her husband
happy and to repay him as we'll as she
could for his great love, she found it hard
work
Down the narrow mountain path she
could see Jean mending fence which
ran along the edge of the path whore the
gorge was particularly deep and danger
Gus. He was whistling at his work, and
was apparently happy and contented.
Presently up the track came horse
man. At first only his head was visible to
Marie, but, as strangers We're rare in that
remote neighborhood, she watched him
until he was in full view, by which time
he IVES quite close to her husband.
Very keenly she eyed him, for his face
seemed familiar Could it be? All, yes;
there was only one man just like that in
/ all the world.
/ Jean recognized Walter Penrith, too,
and with an oath called upon him to dis
mount. Penrith refused, and upon Cou-
teller catching his horse by the bride,
used his riding whip over the Canadians
shoulders, whereat Jean sprang at Pen
rith and literally dragged him from his

through years Of respectable poverty, died
from sheer loneliness and deep sense Of
shame; for he had lived to see disgrace
overtake name known in Jacques Car
tier for more than one hundred years.
Poor Marie was alone in the world now.
Alone? No, not quite. There was one
who was pitiful--one who loved and pitied,
without upbraiding or judging.
Jean Coutelier knew Of a man whom he
had sworn to kill on sight, as he would a
fox or a skunk, but for Marie, his old love,
he retained none but kindly feelings and
loving memories.
I do not know how he managed it,
though you may be sure it was with kind
ly tact and gentle persuasion, but in the
face of adverse opinion-public and pri-
vate--Jean married Marie Gambler and
took her as his honored wife to his noun
tain home.
Marie was never her old self, but she
settled quietly down with honest purpose
and endeavor to be o good and faithful
wife. And she succeeded-if not to her
own satisfaction, at least to Jeans, who
treated her with all the native chivalry of
his noble nature.
SO two eventful years passed away.

The n q lie in Christmas Trees.

The trade in Christmas trees and green's
grows larger year by year. Thirty years
ago Christmas tree was seldom seen ex-
cept in some home of the richest class,
and the adornment of churches for the
festival season was confined to the Catho-
lie and Episcopal denominations. But the
immense increase of our German popula-
ton has popnlarized the Christmas tree
throughout the length and breadth of the
land, and with the waning of old Puritan
ideas the decoration of the churches of all
denominations has become customary.
The extent to which materials for these
purposes are required is shown by the fact
that single dealer in New England last
year disposed of 10000 Christmas trees,
$4,000 yards of wreathing, and 800 barrels
of evergreen spray. The smallest trees
that are sold bring, on the ground, ten
cents apiece. while the largest-twenty- five
to thirty feet in height-bring from "a to
