tort that the people in that district succeeded
in saving their homes. The fire is burning
slowly, the wind having died down, bnt if the
wind rises again much damage will be done,
as everything is as dry as finder.

Human endurance put an end to Capt.
Hamilton Murrell's round of pleasure at
Philadelphia, and the 1,4OO orphan boys
who had arrayed themselves in the chapel of
Girard College to pay their respects to him,
suffered a disappointment. For the morning
the captain was entertained at lunch at the
Stock Exchange by the board ofbrokers. He
then went to the custom house and finished
up his official duties, after which an attack
OF vertigo made it impossible to fulfill his en-
gagements, and he retired to his quarters on
board the Missouri. He will hold a public
reception on board the Missouri, and will
then head his vessel for Baltimore. The

Bad for the Eoodlers.

Prof Weldon extradiiion bill came up for
it's third reading in the Canadian house o.!
commons. Mr.. Weldon pointed out that in
view of Canada's peculiar geographical posi-
ton the necessity for change in the exist
ing treaty, nearly SO years old, was very ur-
gent. BE referred with regret to the reiec
ton by the United States Senate of the bill
negotiated by Minister Phelps some years
ago. Canada, he declared, was, therefore,
compelled to seek relief from the present svs-
TEN. The border counties of the dominion
were haunted by American criminals. In adj
dition, the bill would cover the case of Amer
lean boodlers who come north to faunt their
il-gotten gains, thus corrupting the morals
of Canadian business men What he desired
was statutory offer rather than treaty
whereby Canada announced to all nations
her willingness to hand over fugitives from
justice.
Hon. u. 81. Davies, though supporting the
principle of the bill, said he feltthe measure
would not cover commercial ofenses. Mr.
Skinner held that the measure was crude and
| that Canada could not success July accom-
| plish by statute what has all along and eve
~ where has been done by treaty. Hon. Z. IT.
Davies, Col. Dennlson, Mr.. Curran and
Others objected to the retroactive character
Of the BILL and said there was danger of po-
litical offenders being surrendered on bogus
criminal charges. Mr.. Weldon supported
his measure with great ability, and at recess
was warmly congratulated by Hon. Edward
Blake. Mr. Weldon said that for long
term of years Canada has indulged in the
VAN hope of a more comprehensive extra
dition treaty with the United States, and
that the time has now come for Canada to
act in her own behalf.
Mr.. Layaque moved an amendment by
which the retroactive clause be struck out

American visitors who settled up the amount

| ment, which was adopted. Another clause
| was also added 1t provides that the gov

is extradited. Fraud committed by bankers

Diplomatic Rom ances.

These modern romances of
American girls and foreignnoble-
men cannot match the alliance
of forty years ago-the famous mar
rage Of the old Count de Bodisco,
the Russian minister, and Miss Har-
riet Williams, the Georgetown beau
ty. He was old and decrepit. 1t is
said that he wore ''plummers'' in his
cheeks and dressed his poor, broken
old form SO that he looked like a
man of 40 after he saw the beautiful
school girl at her fathers house in
Georgetown. For she was a school
girl-only 14-when he married her.
He sent her to Europe to finish her
education and when she came back
she was the most beautiful woman
in America. A magnificent, fair wom-
an, with golden hair and brown eyes,
was this young wife of the old Count
de Bodisco. After leaving here her
husband returned to Russia and she
became the reigning belle of ST Pet
ersburg.
More pathetic than this story, for
1T was surely pathetic for a girl of IA
to marry a man of 20, was the story
of her sister, Miss Fannie Williams.
At the time Count de Bodisco was
minister he had with him as attaches
two nepheHs of the same name, who
in his last hours he acknowledged as
his Legitimate sons. One of these
nepheWs loved the sister OF his in
comparable aunt. The Count de
Bodisco claimed that the Russian
law forbade such an intermarriage,
and the two were separated. She
went to st. Petersburg with her
beautiful sister, became engaged to
a Russian nobleman, and on the eve
OF her marriage was found dead, with
the ivory miniature of her first low
er in her hand. The tales of the old
days are best. Chicago Tribune.
