The VIII! What willf'' asked Eustace
Listen, and you viii hear
And Eustace did listen with open eyes
and ears while Augusta, getting over her
snyness as best she might, told the whole
story OF his uncle's death, and Of the way
In which he had communicated his tesla
mentary wishes.
And do you mean to tell me-" said
Eustace, as:ounded, that you allowed
him 10 ave his c~onfounded will tattooed

Yes" answere | Augusta, "I did: and.

for it,"

hustaee; Il had no right TO expect such a
thlng' and, in short, / 10 not know what
10 say. ! should never have thought that
any woman was capable of such a sacrifice
for-for n comparative stranger"
Then came another awkward pause.
Well, Mr.. Meeson,' said Augusta, at
last rising brusquely from her chair, 1.-The

said Eustace, las l heard a friend of mine,
Mr.. Short, who is a barrister, talk about
some case the other day, in which probate
was revoked on the production Of a sub
sequent will"
"IndeedI' answered Augusta, 81 am
very glad to hear that. Then, perhaps,
after all ! have been tattooed 10 some pur-
pose. Well, | suppose you bad better see
it." and with a gesture that was half Shy
and half defiant she drew the lace shawl
from her shoulders, and turned her back
toward him so that he might see what was
inscribed across its Wilderness.
Eustace stared at the broad line Of let
tiers which with the signatures written n
derueath might mean a matter Of two
millions Of money 20 him, and then he
stared at the beautiful shoulders on which
the words were indelibly impressed.

ing up the lace shawl, he threw it over her
again.
IF you will excuse me for a few minutes,
Mr.. Meeson," interrupted Lady Holm
hurst al this point; Il have to go to see
about the dinner and before Augusta
could interfere she had left the room.
Eustace closed the door behind her, and
turned, feeling instingtively that a great
crisis in his fortunes had come. There are
some men who rise to an emergency and
some who shrink from 1t, and the differ
ence is, that difference between him who
succeeds and him who fails in Life, and III
all that makes life worth living.
EuStdce belonged TO the class that rises
and not TO that which shrinks.

airy grand marshal Of the funeral
procession, will arrive this evening,
when all the arrangements for the funeral will

shall, this morning visited the cemetery

pied by the military and civil organ
izations during the obsequies. The
display will be the most imposing ever seen in
the south, and military companies from Mis-
sissippi, Alabama, Tennessee and Georgia will
be represented. The guards are still on duty at
the city hall, and by actual count 1000 person
viewed the body between the hours of 10 and II

TIE TUG OF WAR.


The idea Of Speaker Reed in separating the
committees and appointing such as he had
ready today was to get the House at work on
important matters with as little delay as posi-
BILE. The other committees will, however,
be appointed before the holiday recess.
There IL certain to be hard,
though perhaps not prolonged, fight over the
rules, and while this is in progress the COM
mittee on appropriations and ways and means
can be at work. The clause of the rules over
which there will be q serious disagreement be-
tween the two parties is that relating to dila-
tory motions. There are two propositions for
the
to interrupt and delay the business of the
House. One is to give the Speaker authority
to determine when a motion is made merely
Tor delay, and to refuse to recognize
such motion. This is similar TO the
practice in the French chamber of
deputies and the English house Of commons.
Inc other proposition 10 TO provide that the
ordinary dilatory motions can be made but
once during the course of day, and that mo-
aon 70 adjourn may not be made until the
lapse OF certain period from the period of
Its last being voted on. Either Of these propo-
sitions will be vigorously opposed by the demo-
Gratis under the leadership Of Mr.. Carlisle.
speaker Reed will not recognize any dllatory
motions pending the discussion of the
rules, but the republicans will have to keep a
quorum Of their own members in the House in
order to adopt any rule that the democrats
will think to seriously jeopardize the rights of
the minority

LIQUOR LICENSES.
Applications Approved and Rejected
Some Perplexing Problems.

Commissioner Douglass took up the liquor
license question Immediately upon his arrival
at the District building this morning, and COM
pleted Lieut.. Vernon's precinct large num-
Der OF the applications, however, were held up
for future consideration. The following is the

Wholesale rejected: John ]. Leonard, so7 F
street.
SEVERAL PERPLExIN0 QUESTIONS
nave already arisen. One is as to construction
OF the regulation providing that no saloon
shall be located within 400 feet of a school
house. The question is how are the police to
measure the distance? For instance, a bar
room may be located at the end of square on
the opposite side of the street and a school
house in the middle of the square. Now, if a
direct line is drawn from the entrance of the
school house to the bar room, the latter may
come within the 40O-foot limit, although if the
regular line OF travel is followed it may be out
side. This is an old question and the board
will be called upon to settle it.
Among the questions which come up is this:
An applicant appears with his papers all right
with the exception that he lacks one signer.
Now this signature can be obtained for a con-
sideration. The applicant presents the facts to
the Commissioners and asks for the issuance of
his license over the signature. Whether or not
this can be done under the circumstances will
also be decided by the board Tomorrow
Lieut. Kelley's precinct will be taken up and
Lieut.. Guy.

WAS SHE DROWNED?
An Eight Year-Old Colored Girl Miss
ing From Her Home.

Saturday morning an eight-year-old colored
girl named Alberta Tyler left the home of her
father, Reuben Tyler, No. SO G street south
west, near the James creek canal, and has not
been seen since. The girls mother is dead.
but she has stepmother. Saturday morning
the stepmother sent the child to the pump to
get bucket Of water. Alberta left the house
with bucket on her arm, but her failure to
return caused no uneasiness to her father or
stepmother, as she had done the sane thing
before. The first time she left bone she
went to her grandmother's house and her
father naturally supposed she had gone there
again, but he learned yesterday that she had
not and the whereabouts of his daughter re-
mains a mystery. The missing girls aged
father was deeply affected and this morning
started out to find her. He has no idea where
she has gone and the fact that she carried the
bucket with her leads him to believe that she
might possibly have walked down by the canal
and fallen overheard. The canal is not pro-
tected by rail or barricade of any sort and it
is an easy matter for person to accidentally
walk overheard

TO RAISE THE BLOCKADE.
A Merchant Who Suggests a Solution of
the Problem.

In speaking Of the freight blockade to STAR
reporter this morning Mr.. Frank Hume said
81 echo the sentiments of the merchants who
have already expressed themselves forcibly
against the action Of the Pennsylvania railroad
in allowing this freight blockade to remain
when it could SO easily be raised. Let the rail-
road company build ''Y" at Fort Runyon on
the Virginia side along the bed of the old canal
to the south end of the free bridge and ship all
freight over it intended for George
Washington side and in my opinion raise the
blockade. There In no question but that it
should be done; the railroad people owe it to
the merchants. Sometime ago l had talk
with superintendent Carter on the subject and
told him that the trouble lay in the fact that
the business OF the road was increasing without
an increase in facilities. / told him that the
company should buy enough ground and erect
proper freight houses for the convenience Of
the merchants His answer was that the char
ter Of the company did not permit of its con-
demning land. My reply to that was that they
ssk the cooperation Of the merchants, which
would be forthcoming"
Have you suffered by reason Of the block
ade?"
Indeed have. To give you an example, 1
need but to say that in the purchase Of sugar
or -four the dealer takes q risk, for You know
how the marketable value Of these staple arti-
cles huctuate. Now, have lately received q
carload Of -four, which has been ON the road a
month, and several consignments of sugar.
True. my losses have been slight, but there 10
Q close margin on sugar at any rate, and the
would make large aggregate on barrel and
probably destroy all profits. Something should
be done to !emedy this state Of AFFAIRS and

CONGRESSIONAL CENTENNIAL.
A Remarkable Gathering to Listen
to Chief Justice Fuller's Grafton.

The centennial celebration which comes Oh
| in the hall of the House Of Representatives ON
Wednesday will be much less elaborate than its
promoters had originally intended it to be, but
| there will, nevertheless, be gathered together
diplomatic representatives Of more nations
than have been present on any previous occa-
sion in the history of this country. 1t will be a
great gathering Of the nations, and an mex
pensive one. The bill which legalizes the oc-
| casion was so drafted rs to call for an appro-
priation of 100000 but in the course of the
bills career through Congress somebody cut
off two Of the cyphers and shifted the comma
close up to the figure 8. The diplomatic corps
is expected to be 800 strong at least that is the
number Of invitations which have been fur
nished the State department. An interesting
feature Will be the presence OF properly accred-
tied representatives Of all the other republics
on the continent-namely, Mexico, Guatemala,
Nicaragua, Costa RIGA, Salvador Honduras,
the United States of Colombia, Venezuela, Boz
livia, Peru, Chilli, Uruguay, Paraguay, Ecua-
dor, the Argentine Republic, Brazil, Hayti and
San Domingo.
These would not have been here, or a good
many OF them would not, had it not been for
the international American conference, now in
| session In this city. The international maritime
conference will also contribute its membership
and the diplomatic corps complete the array Of
distinguished visitors. Every civilized country
on the face Of the globe and some who are not
as much civilized as they might be will be there.
Interesting in this connection is the fact that
within the past century every country south of
the United States has become q republic-pat-
termed after that Of the stars and stripes-and
each one Of these new nations has adopted a
constitution modelled on that of the United
States.
BY another lucky chance the governors of the
thirteen original states will also be here on
Wednesday, they having been summoned to at
tend meeting at which some conclusion will
be arrived at as to the form Of the memorial
which is to be erected in Philadelphia to COM
memorate the drafting and signing Of the
Declaration Of Independence. Other gov
ernors OF states will also be in attendance, so
that altogether the assemblage will be an ex-
traordinary one. Both houses of Congress and
the supreme Court will be present, and the
Grafton will be delivered by Chief Justice Fuller
The exercises Wednesday will consist Of
music, prayer by Rev. J. G. Butler, chaplain
Of the Senate, and address by Chief Justice
Fuller, and the benediction by Rev. w. II.
Milburn, chaplain Of the House
