CHAPTER II.

CHAPTER III.
"Alrs fair in love and war"
A week had passed since Charlie Cook
had met his rival Robert Bslville, and the
near at hand.
During this week Robert had driven
down to Wooglin several times an d taken
May Brighton out on long drives, much
to Charlie's discomfort. Belville had also
attended several Of the club house hops,
but there Charlie had him at dlsad-
vantage, for his dan cling had the ease of
conscious strength and the grace Of nat
ural ability and long practice in 1t The
girls remarked, when referring to these
hops, that it never tired them to waltz
with him. AS Belville's tastes having
led him chiefly to cultivate the game Of
billiards, his arm did not afford his part
ner a sure support in case Of slip, or
guide her SO as to escape collisions with
other couples as Charities did with such
commendable skill and ease.
No one took q great fancy to young
BeIville. Every body was pleased to see,
in their little rivalry, that May apparent
ly preferred Charlie. Bslville saw that
he must change his manner Of courtship
or the young lawyer. would win the prize /;
for ono day, when he had como to the
clubhouse to take May out for q drive,
he did not find her in such good humor
as on previous occasions, and as they
drove along toward Mayville she did not
seem SO much inclined to chat with him
as when he just began driving her out
The cause for this Indifference was that,
after dinner, Charlie Cook had met her as
she was coming from the dining-room,
and said:
miss Brighton, won't you get your
banjo and come with me for pull up to
the inlet? 1t is going to be dreadfully
hot on shore this afternoon, and it will
be so nj ce and cool under the trees up
there"
..l'm very sorry, Mr.. Cook" answered
May, with real regret in her voice, "but
I made an engagement with Mr.. Belville
to 90 driving this afternoon"
s.I'm sorry too. for, as I shall leave
wooglin in few days. I may not have
many more rows" said Charlie, with a
little disappointment in the tone of his
voice as he moved OF.
As May sat by the side OF Mr.. Belville
her heart was sad, and she wondered if ii
was because of those last words Charlie
Cook uttered, and il she really was in
love with him. Robert B.lville could
see. by the loving glances May gave the
boats on the lake. whenever the road ran
near the water. that she was wishing her

SO for Mr.. Belville to catch the Mayville
boat.
"Look outv cried Charlie to Belville,
as they were once more nearing the lake,
and Belville began to pull with his jerky
STROKES again. 'for you'll run into that
log"
But he was too late and the boat struck
confusion.
When tho boat went down May was
tangled in the rudder ropes and drawn
under, and when Charlie, after breaking
the heavy cords, had brought her to the
surface OF the water she was uncon scious,
and lay in his arms as II dead. He i'm
mediately struck out for shore with her,
and when he had reached it. put her down,
and wholly ignoring the frantic shouts
for help with which Robert Belville was
awaking the forest as he sat astride the
upturned boat, Charlie began to see if he
could restore to consciousness the girl
who he knew was all the world to him.
There, on that little grass grown bank,
he worked, chafing the unconscious girls
hands, trying to get up a circulation and
restore the healthy pulses to that heart
which showed its life only by faint hut-
ter now and then. Perspiration was
streaming from every pore as he put his
whole soul into his task. After little
while, 1t seemed an age to him. he saw
that he was gaining the mastery over
death.
o! how glad he felt! He felt 1t to be
the proudest moment in his life, when he
saw her breath come more and more reg
ularly, and knew she was out of danger.
He would have staid with her till she
opened her eyes, had it not been that Bel
Vile in his fright rolled the boat over
again, and Charlie saw that the land lub-

FACTORY CHILDREN.

Brooklyn, n. Y, Nov. 23.-Referring to
statement of the state inspector OF factor
les that children under II years of age
have been sent from St. Johns Home, this
city, to work in glass factories N ONO,
Mother de Chanta, of ST. Johns Home,
said to a reporter today:
Il have beer acquainted with the pro
prietors of these glass works for many
wears and when they wrote to Bishop
Laughlin they referred him to me as to
their reliability The firm in FostOria is
the Nickle Plate Glass company, and that
at Finlay is Dalzell, Leighton, Gilmore
& Co. have been IN the works
at both places, and say that If
the bows could be induced TO work there 1t
would be better to have them do so and
learn useful trade and not grow up in
idleness. | went to FOStoria with the first
lot of bows and remained several days with
them. They We're well treated, well fed
and we'll lodged and their work was clean
and light"
What about the statement of Mr.. Jor-
dan that some of the boys were under IL
wears of age!" asked the reporter.
so far as know, that is true only in
one instance. Stephen Rogers one of the
boys sent to Fostoria, Learned after he had
arrived there, was IL years old. He was
a big boy for his age, but nevertheless | or
a l3-year-old boy named Philip Braker.
This is the only case known thus far.
Most of the boys sent out have been IN the
home for many years and and some almost
from infancy, so we know how old they
are s"
as it fact that they are boarded and
lodged in a home there which is similar to
this placer
No that is not true. They are all
boarded together, and looked after by
two sisters there. but not by this So
ciety."
''In your opinion, is this departure a
good one or otherwise"
Good is it is successful. We will not
send any boys from here of less than II
years of age They cannot learn trade
or business in ST. Johns Home, and they
they leave the home here they are turned
out into the great city and all the
temptations are thrown about them.
They do not know how 10 do
ANYTHING. and l should tn nix any one
would agree that if they could be bound
out TO learn a useful trade they would
be the better for it. The boys were
not delicate and dwartish, as that tele-
gram seems to say. They were boys
OF average development and physique,
and healthy When they left We
gave them each two suits of clothing, four
shirts. four suits of unGerclothing, four
pairs OF socks. a good pair of shoes and a
hat. so they will scarcely want anything
for several months at least. Ii this system
is properly carried out and not abused it
cannot but work good results
"Will you give list of the names OF the
boys for publication
NO we can't do that We don't care
TO have the relatives OF these boys know

AN ANARCHIST CIRCULAR.

The paper goes on to say that capital
must be crushed and claims that the only
way to do it is for workingmen TO organize
and fight for their rights. The circular is
printed in German and Bohemian and
signed by Fritz Benthin on behalf Of the

THEADMIsSION OF DAKOTA.

BISMARCK, Oak, Nov. 23.-Among the
latest developments In regard to the pros
pective admission of Dakota into the union
is the statement of a prominent politician
in Washington that it will be impossible to
do anything for Dakota until the Oklaho-
ma bill is disposed of. 4 citizen of this
city addressed letter to a congressman,
asking why the Democrats should not
accept the inevitable and act upon tho
Dakota matter next month. In that way
the Democrats would have the credit for
admitting the territory, and this would go
far toward building up the Democratic
party in Dakota. The bill Tor
the admission of south pa "a
senate, this action would permit the south
ern half of the territory to become state
within few months, and by passing an
enabling act for North Dakota two states
would be added to the union long before
the most hopeful would have expected. In
reply to this letter the congressman stated
that there was very little hope of act
ing on the Dakota question until the
meeting of the next congress, as the
bill for the formation of the terri
tory of Oklahoma has been given prece-
dence on the calendar, and its friends Will
not consent 10 have it set back for any
other territorial matters. He states fur
Their that, in his opinion, the dlvlSlon or
Dakota into two states is very doubtful,
even if the Republicans have bare ma
jority in the house, as the eastern members
are jealous of the growing power of the
west, and will not consent to giving to
Dakota twice as much power In the United
States senate as New York or any Of the
eastern states.
This statement is dscouraging to the
people of the territory, who fear that fill
clustering to delay statehood will be re-
sorted to by the politicians, and it is
believed that General Harrison will be
urged to make the Dakota matter the
subject of a special message to congress,
so that the justice which has so long been
delayed may be melted out to the
territory The people who have called
upon the president elect are confident that
he means to do his share towards fulfilling
the promises made Dakota in the Chicago
platform, and, as he is the father of the
divifion mpvement in the senate, there is
no doubt but that he is strongly in favor
OF admitting her as two states.

GENERAL HARRISON.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 23.-The president
elect was this morning again favored by
half dozen visitors, who called at 7:30, be-
fore he had breakfast. He had been up
some little time, however, and received
the party The live eagle from South
port, N Y, sent by Mrs. Wanamaker, of
that place, arrived today in large box,
and was carried into the rear yard. Just
what 10 do with this bird of freedom the
family has not yet determined, but it will
probably be sent down to the New Deni-
son hotel, in the rear of which is a large
iron cage containing gigantic eagle cap
tured in Henry county, Indiana, and pre-
scented by delegation during the CAM
paigu to Chairman Huston.
Mrs Harrison was today the recipient
of a handsome silk slumber robe or crazy
quilt, sent by the ladies of the Episcopal
church at Los Angeles, Cal, it having
been voted to Mrs. Harrison as the most
popular lady at church fair.
Presents never seem to come singly, for
the general received from Buffalo, y. Y,
a large, substantial easy chair, elegantly
upholstered in mahogany and colored
plush.
Another and perhaps more gratifying
present received BY General Harrison was
a large folio of rich Turkey morocco, the
inner pages of which are lined with blue
satin on which is stamped in letters of
gold the following congratulatory address:

WILL TRY TRICkERY.
Democrats are Determined to Capture the
House

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-The indications
are increasing that the Democrats have
determined to organize the next house,
and that no step is to be omitted which
will aid in securing certificates from the
governors in the Democratic states. The
report that the governor has been asked TO
take original jurisdiction and to
determine that a Republican was
not elected in one of the Tennessee
districts. after the returning officers
have made their returns that he is elected,
issinterpretedeo mean that it is thu pur-
pose of the Democrscy TO SECURE the una
jority stalt lfaaards.S Ttsy, u etaSrse RELY
upon the absolute authority now vested in
the clerk of the house 10 make I'D the roll
On the basis of the certificates returned to
him without any possibility of appeal
from his decision. The events of the last
few DAYS have confirmed the belief Of the
Republican leaders that the theft of the
majority of the next house i contem-
plated by the Democrats There are
reasons 10 fear that they may be able 10
execute their threats and that II Will not
be possible to organize the house OF repre-
sentatives that was honestly elected ex-
cept by resorting to unusual methods.
The practical nature OF the plan or the
Democrats to capture the organization or
the house can best be understood by an
examination of the law by which the
clerk of the present house is given abso-
lutte arbitrary power over the organization
of the next house. The authority for the
organization Of the house, as now pre-
Wichita eagle., 1888-11-24

scribed by law, is not found in tie consti-
tuition save the general provision tnat
each house shall be judge of the cleo
ton returns and qualifications of its own
members. Under this general power the
usage has grown up which is embodied in
part, at least, in a statute that the organi-
cation of the house is placed absolutely
within the power and the discretion of the
clerk of the house of the preceding con-
gress. The specific authority under which
the clerk of the house prepares the roll
upon which the succeeding house is organ
lied is found in rule 3, paragraph |, of the
body of the rules of the house. That pro
vision is:
TIE clerk shall, at the commencement of
the f. 8 session of each congress, call the
members to order, proceed to call the roll
of members by states, in Alphabetical
order, and pending the election OF a speaker
or speaker pro tenn, preserve order and
decorum and decide all questions of order,
subject to appeal by any member.
Rule of the house provides that the
clerk and the other officers of the house
shall continue in Office until their success
sors are chosen and qualified. TIE clerk
of the house. in short, seems to be
the only officer of the United States who IS
absolute, from whose decision there IS no
appeal, who owes no allegiance to any one,
the body that created him having passed
cation of the succeeding house, and there
is no means of correcting the results of the
roll which he may present except by the
subsequent action of the house as to the
mem bership, OF which he himself is the
sole judge. He is, to be sure, required to
pass upon the certificates in a judicial
capacity to determine whether they are in
accordance with the laws of the states or
of the United States. Bui if he shall ex-
ercise his authority in an unlawful or
arbitrary manner there is no remedy pro-
vided except for the house itself, by action
likewise arbitrary, to reverse his DEGREES.
Only one way has been suggested here IN
the event that contingency should arise
as the result of which the Republicans
should be convinced that the Democrats
were given given majority of the Ger
tificates of representatives-elect i'm
properly. That suggestion is that the
senate and the president OF the. United
States can refuse to recognize house so
constituted. 1t undeniably is the fact
that, if it shall appear that that the Dem
ocratic representatives-elect shall constl-
tute the majority of the next house, the
Republicans will believe that that majority
was secured by fraud. What will they do
about it? That question is to be answered
