Now that the Stewart mansion, in
New York, is to be turned over to the
Manhattan Club for club house, it has
come out that there was one sacred
room in the mansion. This room is on
the second floor. It was originally
furnished in 1872. The carpets for the
room were made in Europe and fitted
like a glove. The furniture was made
in Paris and was of the most expensive
kind.
There was crystal chandelier in it
whose prisms shone like diamonds.
Marble statues from Italy and fine
painting were some of the costly adorn-
ments. The original outlay for furnish
ing the room was $4,000. Whom do
you suppose it was so magnificently
fitted up for? None other than Ulysses
S. Grant, then in The last year of his
first time as President of the United
States.

friend than ever of Gen. Grant,
This room in his palatlal mansion was
furnished expressly for the use of the
President. No matter how crowded the
house might be, no person on earth
except the General was TO have the
use of it even for moment. A
latch-key TO the mansion and
a KEY to the room were sent to him,
with the directions that whenever he
wanted to come to New York and have
resting spell this room would be at
his disposal.
Gen. Grant, in the eight years that
he was President, occupied it many
more times than anybody except the
Stewarts were aware Of. Ostensibly he
was at tho Fifth Avenue Hotel, but
when the evening began to wane and
when wearied with the days callers, he

Lifting his head he found himself
face to face with his old love.
She was as lovely as ever, and she
smiled so brightly as she hurried to-
ward him both hands extended.
"Oh Ralfl' and then she burst into
tears.
The jailer was not man OF much

on the following morning Ralf Blethen
left the shadows of the gray prison
walls and once more entered the
world, his innocence having been es'
tablished by confession made by the
real murderer--no less a parsonage
than Clarkson. when in the icy grip OF
death.
1t appeared that he knew all the
time that Pansy cared only for Ralf;
but he managed to get her father into
his power financially and as regarded
reputation, refusing to have mercy un-
less he gave him his daughter.
The father finally confessed oil to
the girl, and for his sake she determined
to dismiss the others and engage her.
self to Clarkson.
"But ] will never marry him." she
vowed to herself.
After the murder her father took her
away for fear of her offending Clarkson
and popular opinion, by her outspoken
faith in Blethen.
During their stay abroad she deter
mined to free herself from her hated en-
gagement by some means or other; but
her fathers entreaties dissuaded her and
Clarkson pressed her to name the day
Immediately upon their return. In
stead of doing so, she went to visit a
friend-"to spend Easter with hen" she
said; but it was the day of her first visit
to the prison.
Three weeks later her father died sud-
denly of heart trouble, and she broke
her engagement in less than an hour.
Sickness followed and another
Easter passed before she was out of her
room again.
Il always knew he was innocent"
she said quietly to Clarkson, who sent
for her when lie made his confession.
He had induced Masters to walk
with him on that fatal evening in or
der to find out, show Blethen took the
mitten," for he was madly jealous of
the latter, knowing that ne was the one
that Pansy loved.
Masters had twitted him with this
fact and in moment of ungovernable
passion he had pulled out his pistol and
shot him. When he saw what he
had done he spent the night
Ralf going at nine o'clock to watch with
a sick man-in arranging evidence to
throw the other in the blame.
How his plans worked we know.

Freight Train Wrecked Early This
Morning, Near Milford.
A bad smashup occurred on the Con-
solidated road near Milford early this
morning. The freight train due at this
point at o'clock after passing the sta
llon, broke in two. When the en-
gineer discovered the accident started to
back up to make a new connection, not
thinking that the after section was bear-
ing down upon him at the rate of thirty
miles an hour. Before he could reverse
his engine there was a collision and five
cars were thrown from the track and
badly wrecked. No one was injured.
A wrecking train was sent from New
Haven and by 8 o'clock the tracks were
cleared.

AN AGREEABLE VOICE.

The Average American Girl Does Not
Speak as softly Ms She should.
"a charming girl for man of a
quiet easy temperament The great
trouble Is with her voice. 1t is pitched
full note too high. 1t is aggressive,
disturbing, and would wear out nerv-
GUS man without his ever knowing what
was the matter with him. A good many
crazy Northern people would recover
their reason If they could live for O
year or two among the blacks of the
Southern States. But the penetrating,
perturbing quality of the voices of many
of our Northern women.has great deal
to answer for in the way OF determining
love and friendship. You remember
that dear friend of ours who left us not
long since? If there were more voices
like hers, the world would be different
place to live in. l do not believe any
man or woman ever came within the
range of those sweet, tranquil tones
without being hushed, captivated, en-
tranced 1 might almost say, by their
calming, soothing influence. Can you
not imagine the tones in which those
words, Peace, be STILL were spoken?
Such was the effect of the voice to
which but few weeks ago we were
listening. 1t is hard to believe that it
has died out of human consciousness.
Can such veice be spared from that
world of happiness to which we fondly
look forward, where we love to dream,
If we do not believe with assured con-
viction, and whatever is loveliest in
this, our mortal condition shall be with
us again as an undying possession?
Your English friend has very agree
able voice, round, mellow, cherry, and
her articulation is charming. Other
things being equal, 1 think you, who
are, perhaps, over sensitive, would live
from two to three years longer with her
than with the other. suppose a man
who lived within hearing of a murmur-
ing brook would find his life shortened
