CHATTER VII.

There had been rain in the early
morning, but before twelve o'clock the
clouds cleared away, and the sun shone
out warm and bright when the party
Jn the Larches drove over to Alph-
ingtOn Park. 4 damp had fallen upon
Bertha's spirits. however, which was
not so easily shaken off as the ralndrops
Of the morning. A cruel modification
and disappointment had oyertaken her.
The opal ring was lostl
That mornings post had brought the
veXatiOUs news, and. instead Of being
the means of restoring the precious
ring TO its rightful owner, she had to
make excuses for what she felt in her
heart was utter folly and caTelessness.
To Lena, however, this adverse cir
cumstance was comparatively indiffer-
ent; it did not affect herself, and it was
not her custom to allow the troubles of
others to deprive her cheeks of bloom
or her ewes Of brightness.
She leaned back in the luxurious car
riage, indnlging in day-dreams, imagin-
ing how she would feel, how she would
conduct herself, if she were then and
there driving into that splendid domain
as the bride of its heir; for her fancy
had taken wings, and had already con-
celFou Sucn a possibility.
The house was noble structure, the
ground-plan representing the letter f,
a mode of fattery frequently adopted
by architects during the reign of Eliza
beth. It was built Of dark red brick,
with stone copings, cornices, and null
EoDs, the red in some parts being
relieved by the growth of ivy and
Virginia creeper. Over the central
portion rose a clock-tOwer. The wings,
forming the arms Of the letter, contain
ed on one side the state dTawiDg-room,
on the other the great library; these
were lighted By windows opening on TO
the broad. grassy terrace that extended
the whole length of the house. broken
only by the fight Of grifin-guarded
steps that led up 70 the entrance-door.
In front of the house. below the ter
race, level lawn extended. bounded by
ring fence. This separated it from
the deer park, with its groups of fine
forest trees, nndulating sward, ferny
hollows. and ornamental water fed by
running stream. On the border of the
lake stood a picturesque boat-house,
though it was long now since the stroke
Of oars had disturbed the EWans and

Don't Fight the Team.

If a horse shows signs of stubbornness or
contrariness, just get mad yourself. and
you can rest assured you are fixed for the
rest of the day. as long as you want to keep
it up. Horses, like men, are generally set
in their ways. ard when a horse with only
moderate sense gets into trouble with
man with only moderate sense. the two
generally have a monkey and parrot
time from morning till night. Well-bred
horses are seldom stubborn and unruly,
and in this respect there is striking an
alogy between horses and men. Horses
docile. obedient and tractable in the hands
of one man are vicious and unruly in the
hands of another. The reason is. the one
knows how to manage them. the other does
not. Bad dispositions are generally the
result of bad handling. A few slaps and
jerks. accompanied by a sharp talk or a
few fierce yells. get the most gentle horse
clear beside himself and ready TO worry
and fret the remainder of the day. The
more quiet and steady you keep your horses
the better it viii be for them, yourself and
all concerned.

SETTLED AT LAST.
Miners and Operators i'm Illinois Reach an
Agreement

JOLIET, fll.-The conference of coal
miners and operators resulted in a settle
ment of the wage trouble throughout the
Northern Illinois coal fields, and an early
resumption of work in the mines of w. L.
Scott will probably occur. Operators were
all represented except Scott and gave their
ultimatum, the terms being reduction of
seven and one-half cents ton and no dis
count on the company store orders; re-
duction of fifty per cent. in tool sharpening
in all fields except the Streator and the sale
of coal to miners at the cost of putting it
on cars. The miners after long consid
Grafton, decided to accept this proposition.
The workmen desired in addition to the
item of rent free during the strike, no vic
timizing on going to work. The operators
declined to put this point in the agree
ment, but stated privately to the miners
that the result would be as desired

WHEN ROYALTY DANCES.
Some of the Etiquet Observed at State Balls
i'm London.

At state balls. be it known, says a Lon
don letter to the San Francisco ArgOnaut,
there are no dane programmes, and 50 far
a. the royalties are concerned, no intro
ductions. Before each dance and princes
prime esses confer together within the
royal circle Just in front of the dais. They
are choosing their partners. When their
selections are made-and be sure many
joke and laugh among themselves accom-
panies the labor Of making a choice-the
ford chamberlain Immediately bears the
message thereof 10 the thus distinguished
person. The chosen partners, breaking all
other engagements, file up together 10 the
royai circle if not already within it, and,
if men, approach the princesses and wait
till the august ladies come forward and
claim them; if ladies, the princes come
down to meet them and take possession of
them.
The royalties dance a good deal with
each other. and in the square dances,
which at state balls are very considerably
shortened, the princess of Wales never
walks backward ] dare say when this
is known it viii at once become rule in

BALTIMORE, Md.-Twenty-tlree repub-
lican clubs in the third congressional dis
trict, Baltimore, met Wednesday night in
joint meeting and adopted resolutions in
opposition to civil service laws They
claim that any party having any office to

victory. They will not support anyone who

A little girl Of Los Angeles, Cal. whose
family was about to move to Arizona, and
who had heard that country spoken of as a
forlorn and particularly God-forsaken place,
was saying her prayers at her mother 5

taught her. and then with peculiar empha-

What a Dervish Is.

There is some question of the meaning
of the word ..dervish' applied to the fol-
lowers of the late Mahdi. The Persian
word dervish means beggar or poor man.
and has by degrees come to be applied
particularly to the religious mendicants,
and by further step to religious fanatics,
in which sense it seems to be applied to the
soldiers of the Mahdi's Khalifa. The
prophet Mohammed said La Rahibaniat
I'll Islamia. There is no monkery in
Islam;" but when Turanic tribes were
converted they brought their own old
monastic institutions into their new re-
ligion: hence the orders of derTishes or
religious U1endicants In Turkey and Persia,
vowed to poverty and celibaey and bound
by a vow Of obedience. No doubt it Is
from their resemblance to these MussuIman
mendicant fTiars that the Mahdists are
caIlei dervishes. but whether they them
selves own 10 the name. or whether it is
merely nickname fastened upon them by
their enemies, | do not know.

AN Italian engineer recently announced
the discovery that sugar is an efficient
means of preventing boiler incrustatlons.
This brought out the additional discovery
by American engineers that by the use of
sugar boiler tubes can be kept perfectly
clean, but its corrosive action is so great
that after short time there would be but
little boiler left.

Tor the Old soldiers. Everybody says

charges and set out the best. This splen-
did record will be remembered, and will
not be to the injury Of Milwaukee.
TnE venerable David Dudley Field, the
eminent lawyer, now an octogenarian, in
his address at the recent gathering of the
American Bar Association, in Chicago, is
rather severe on the legal profession He
complains that the profession is too slow.
$50 far as ] am aware, there is no other
country calling itself civilized where it
takes 70 long to punish Il criminal, and so
many years to get u final decision between
man and man. Truly may we say that
justice passes through the land on leadcn
sandals. One Of our most trustworthy
journalists asserts that more murderers are
IN the course Of the law. And yet we have,
it il computed, more than 10000 lawyers
in this country It is difficult to make an
exact computations but we know that there
are about ! | 600 in the state of New York,
which has a population of 5000 600.
France, with a population of 40,0OO0 600,
has 5000 lawyers and 2,4OO other officials,
who do the work of attorneys with is, and
Germany, with population of -, ,0OO, 600,
has in the same category 1000. Thus the
proportion of the legal element is: In
France, to 4,762 IN Germany, to 6,423;
In the United States | to 9OS. Now turn
from the performers to the performance.
1t appears that the average length of II
lawsuit varies very much in the different
states the greatest being about six years
and the least one year and half. Very
few states finish litigation in this shorter
period Taking all these figures together,
is il any wonder that ii cynic should say
we American lawyers talk more and speed
less than any at!cr equal number OF men
known to history" Mr.. Field described
the laws delays largely to the chaotic
condition of the law. He repeated
his reason for codiication, and MAIN
tained that it was the first duty of II
government to bring the laws to the lnowl-
edge Of the people - lou must, of
course. he said in conclusion, "he true to
your clients and To the courts but you
must also give speedy justice to your fellow
citizens, more speedy than you have yet
given, and You must give them chance
to know their laws.

Now THAT the national encampmcnt is

that she acquitted herself nobly. She has

one complaint. This is good; yes, it is
excellent We all feel an interest in Mil
