CHAPTER II.

The delicately good taste of Beatrice
Soria had made it easy for the high So
ciety of Europe to see nothing, if it
chose to see nothing blamable in the re-
newed intimacy between her and Guide
roy. Theirs was one OF those positions
they are not rare-In which the popular
itv or unpopularity of the persons con-
cerned wholly determines the amount of
indulgence or of censure which they shall
receive from others. Tact goes for much
in this, and distinction for much. The
great lady does unbiamed what the woman
of yesterday would be stoned for at
tempting. There is a sublime nonchal-
ance and a calm superiority to cal
umny which repel it utterly much more
effectually than any mere virtue. The
world but asks from us external observ-
ances if we do not give these, we are such
fools that we merit that sentence of BAN
ishment from it which is as terrible as the
fiat of exile to Ovid. Beatrice Soria had
always been heedful to give those observ-
ances; not from want of courage. for she

She had made it her condition that he
should now leave his wife utterly for her

The Figures at Which They Agree to Sup

Different Counties-A Table Worthy
of Careful Study.

There are a good many things about this
schOolbook business which the people do not
understand. For instance, take the matter of
prices. The trust has a scale of adoption
prices, and exchange prices. When the school
boards adopt a series of text books it is agreed
that they shall be furnished at a certain sched-
ule of prices This is really matter OF con-

large number of instances, howeyer-perhaps

A TEACHER EXPLAINS
The Reason So Few Teachers Antagonize
the Book Trust.

the Book Trust.
To THE EDIToR-Sir: care they afraid2o
Yesl
And good reasons they have, too. The same
reasons for fear that "Anti Book Trust" has
for his non de plume. If you are not afraid,
"Anti," give us your real name The leading
teachers are afraid because the goal of their
ambition is to be county superintendent which
can never be attained with the opposition of
the book trust. Because the shrewdest are
expecting TO make some Change for aiding in
the next "boOk exchange" Because the trustee
is monarch of all he surveys and will not en-
ploy teachers who will scrutinize his acts too
closely Because the county superintendent
can withhold his license or cut his per cent or
ruin his reputation abroad by private word to
the officers over the way Because he can be
injured in a hundred ways, and be continually
annoyed and have no way to retaliate or de-
fend himself. Because he is forced to do so
many things contrary TO his better judgment,
that he is like the boy who fell into the soap,
Don't know where he hurts the worst" Afraid
TO say anything about it for fear he'll be licked
for wasting the soap.
We teachers know more about this book
business than would be believed if we should
tell il. The parents and guardians are the real
sufferers. Let them do the squeaing. They're
the majority. We teachers are the minority
and have other grievances that strike us
harder than the book monopoly. When we're
relieved of our burdens, then will feel like
assisting parents in their endeavor to Tighten
theirs.
We know that books are costing twice or
thrice their real value; that % per cent of nom
attendance is caused by the inability of poor
people to buy books, and their having too much
honest pride to plead the pauper 10 the trustee.
That uniform system of free books would in
crease the attendance and our 7rOTk. 1t isn't
every teacher that wants more work; don't you

tween Twenty-third and Twenty-fourth-sts., in

hair OF the woman was matted with blood clots
and lay in confusion over the trunkless head.
The trunk was all chopped into pieces. The
fragments were taken TO the morgue.
When the remains were removed from the
morgue, a card dropped out upon which was
written:
"Lina Bucha-Beceived in ward II, county hos
pital, Nov. 2d, lSsS. Died Jan. Is, lSs9."
At the hospital il was learned that the body
had been given 10 one OF the medical colleges.

of the city for burial or were deposited there

Gus wreck tonight on the c., B. & @. at St Au.
gustine, a small station south Of here. Express
train No. 10, which leaves here Tor Kansas City

at the usual speed, and just as it was passing
over the last switch, freight train No. is came
in sight Both trains were going fast that
they could not stop, and they came together
with a crash completely wrecking them. The
engineers and firemen OF both trains jumped,
and thus escaped unhurt. The bsggage-car
and express-cars Of the passenger train were
piled up in a heap, and the express messenger,
a man named Within, of Chicago, was instantly
killed. The conductor of the freight, named
Brownson, of this city, was hurt as was also
the forward brakeman of the passenger train.
A special trein, with physicians, was sent to the

Fears for Her Sanity.

CINCINNATI, July 24-The trial of Thomas
Frey for the murder of John NJ. NJ. Cooper
at Milford, Ohio, June Is last, is
now in progress at Batavia, Ohio. An
application for a change of venue
on account of the deep feeling in
Clermont county against the accused, mani
tested by an attempt to lynch him, was refused
by the court. Meantime a subpoena was
sent to Mrs. Cooper, the widow of the
murdered man, whose grief had not
healed. Upon receiving 1t she appeared
to be stricken with horror, and exclaiming
I'D rather die than face the murderer of my
husband" she rushed into the yard and threw
mediately and her head was kept above water
until she could be takon out. but she was uncon-
scicus and there are &c rs that her reason will
leave her.

The Roming Pigeon Prize,

FALL RIVER, MASS, July 2I-Two homing
pigeons, belonging to Joseph Stafford of this
city, which were let loose at Amherst, Va, in
competition for the Geo. ". Childs cup, were
found in their coop this morning at o'clock.
They were released at am. Yesterday, but
their flight must have been interfered with by
the heavy thunderstorm yesterday. The dis
lance was sos miles and the birds pre-
sented bedraggled and exhausted appearance.
Two others owned by Fred Bowers were re-
leased at the same time, but have not reached
home as yet. The failure of the birds to ac-
complish the distance within the day bars them
from any chance for the prize, which is now
held by John Blood of PHILADELPHIA

Commissioner Roosevelt Looking After
Pension Office Dismissais.

Civil Service Commissioner Roosevelt, who
is reported to have said that he is not satisfied
with the present administration of the civil
service law in the pension Office,
told STAR reporter to-day that
he had not been correctly reported. He
had said that charges had been brought against
both the pension Office and the sixth auditors
Office that men had been discharged beca Use
they were democrats. He was not pre-
pared to say that this was a violation Of
the law, but individually he was firmly of the
opinion that it was in violation Of the spirit of
the law. He thought that no one, unless he
happened to be an active partisan, should be
dismissed from the public service. He
said that the commission was going to look the
matter up, not only as relating to the present
but to the past. In speaking of the matter
further, Mr.. Roosevelt said that in the Baltimore
post Office it was charged that there had been
clean sweep, and out of the three hundred and
ffty-seven employees there were now only
eleven republicans. He thought that this was
wrong and ought to be stopped.
