A tragedy Of the ssa, full of pathos

known through the laconic entry in
the log book of the Brazilian mail
steamship Finance.
When the Finance touched at Per,

oolored man ran up the gangway and
begged the captain to allow him to
work his passage to New York. The
negro was so piteous in his appeals for
a passage that the captain finally con-
scented and SEM him into the stoke hole
to work at passing coal.
His name was William Watney.
All that was known about him wa.
that he had been stranded in Pernam
buco and that he belonged in or some,
where near this city.
On the evening Of the third day his
name was written in the log as fol.
lows:
William Watney, colored, a coal
passer, while insane, jumped over.
board and was drowned.
The Finance was boarded at her pier
by a reporter, whose investigations
showed that Watney had, in fact, been
driven to death. How this was done
was related TO the reporter by astoker:
I'VE were short one man in the coal
hole" said the stoker. "Watney wa
a very strong fellow, and he went al

''Ho was very quiet. He had an
i~mpediment in his speech, and very
seldom spoke unless asked q question.
He bore his hardships accomplishing
ly, and won the admiration of the EN-.
g~ineers.
The second day after leaving Per
nambuco Watney was summoned on
deck by the second engineer to sign
the ships article so that he could b

"Watney signed, but hardly com

the hold again with n wondering look
on his face. Several times he shook
his head solemnly, and he seemed to
think that his signing his name oa pa.
per portended evil for him.
Finally one Of the stokers, whose
name l don't care to mention, asked
him what was the matter.
"Watney shook his head doubtfulIy
and replied: 4 done sign a paper on
deck. What dat fort You kno WI he
asked.
The stoker thought he had a chance
for amusement. So he cried out In
stimulated alarm: Great Scott, did

death warrant and you will be hanged
tomorrow
"Watney never said a word, but
shivered from head TO foot. There was
not a man who didn't feel sorry for
what our comrade had said, and we
all turned solemnly to work. Proba-
bly, our silence alarmed him still
more, for in a few minutes he asked
for PERMISSION to get a drink OF water.
He went on deck, looked around,
and, seeing some of the officers APP

With a wild yell he rushed t. the rail

WAS II A BIT OF ROMANCE,
A Meeting in an Elevated Car Arouses I.

A Meeting in an Elevated Car Arouse. .
Mantle Would Like to Know Morn
Il plead guilty to a good deal of en-.
riosity," said an old man with a rather
forid face, kindly, twinkling eyes,
and friendly, good natured lines
around the mouth. II would give a
good deal 20 know all the circumstan-
ces of ar unusual meeting which ]
saw the other day. 1 was in an ele-
waited train, and on the cross seat OBJ
posite me sat a little woman who must
have been about 40 years old. She was
still very pretty, although her blue
eyes were a little faded. She was the
kind OF a woman who, when a girl,
must have been plump, but who had
not grown stout with years. Her
complexion was as clear and soft as a
girls, and the curves of her lips were
very gently fashioned. l was study
ing over the top of my paper the
graceful lines of her slender hands
when a man seated himself by my
side. / saw two spots of color sudden
ly appear in her cheeks, and then she
quickly turned her head and looked
steadily out Of the window.
Il could not resist the temptation to
take a good look at my near neighbor.
He was tall and dark, and in his black
hair was a fine sprinkling of gray.
His face was smooth shaven, save for
a mustache, which, like his hair. was
grizzled. Fine lines were traced be-
meath his eyes, and the eyes had rather
a far away expression, as if they were
searching for something which had
been lost. Apparently he saw nothing
around him.
FINALLY his dark eye rested on the
little woman before him, and he look
ed hurriedly around as if he intended
to leave his seat. The blue eyes across
the way were still looking out of the
window, and the pink spot had not yet
faded from the one cheek which was
turned toward me. The man moved,
~uneasily in his seat"
And then" one Of the story ~teller's
hearers broke in, two lovers met af-
ter long years, etc"
mo" said the story teller, ~ have
not said So"
They were divorced and this was
their first meeting in a long time"
ventured another with a laugh.
"BoshI" said the narrator, with an
impatient wave of his hand.
Sister and brother parted in early
youth by a cruel fate" cried a third,
determining not to be outdono in sug.
gestions.
Wrong again, SO far as l know
declared the first speaker.
We'll, the story, then" in chorus.
GOOD. She shot a glance at my
neighbor and their eyes met. He leaned
forward and took her hand, while her
face blushed like a school girls. He
moved over and took a seat next to
her. Fifteen years, Mamie, l heard
him say, and then she blushed again.
My station was at Fifty ninth
street. but l rode past two more sta
tions just to watch them. What was

friends here to-day. He says the Cleve-
lands have been playing to immense
business on their western trip; regards
young Cleveland as the king of the world
when it comes to organizing successful
minstrel troups, and says it is shame
that half a dozen enterprising Santa
Feans don't club together and build a
pretty opera house-"for there's profit in
it,"
The Santa Fe Board of Trade should
lose no time in extending an invitation to

merits with other western towns before
final site for its proposed institution IN
the west is decided upon. Inaction may
result in this prize being located else
where, and it would be positive pity, for
no point can compare with Santa Fe's
long record of climatic cures. Urgent and
immediate action should be taken.
