CHAPTER 1.

IT," Sylvan would sometimes deciarei and
then his little brother, Gerald, would try
to see il in that way, too, and dismally
fail. He had not yet reached that inn
arinative age of childhood when We may
summon at will the genii of mental vision.
Then, too, Gerald had been very young
when he and his elder brother had lived
In London. Sylvan, however, perfectly
rccoilected those transatlantic lodgings
where both boys had passed many early
days.
For good cause the abode bit itself into
the memory of Sylvan. You could easily
find it if you strolled along Maryle5one
road where that fascinating old thorough
fare stretches between Portland place and
Baker street. 1t was small house, and It
lay beyond the sombeT, ochre-tinted BRICK
work Of the walls that rise to left and right
in this dreamy and drowsy region. The
boys father, EgbeEt Maynard, occupied
the lower door Of q big building that grlmiy

van could recall some exquisite spring days
when those wonderful white English
clouds, in all their sun-drenched noccu-
lenee, iioated over the green tangles OF that
damp old garden and made smile touch
even the sad, faded face of his mother.
Once, on such day, while they stood in
the Tagged pathway that led between the
mounds of freshened and shimmering ivy
she wrapped her arms about him and
tenderly said:
Doesn't this beautiful day make you
happy 10 breathe its air, Sylvan. and catch
the smell of its new leaves, its timid young
fiowers?''
Yes, mamma, /" the boy answered.
"And don't you feel, darling, that merely
for being allowed to live in so lovely
world yon should grow very grateful to
God?"
''oh yes, mamma.

MASS WAS ADJOURNED.
And Both Parties Heard DavItt Speak q
~ FreshfOrd.

And Both Parties Heard Davitt Speak at
Frcshford.
DUBLIN, Dec. H.-There was a race be-
tween the opposite Irish parties to catch
electors ut Freshford to-day. Davitt and
Sir John Pope Hennessey reached that
place just before the celebration of mass.
The priest, however, decided that mass
could wait, and messengers were dispatched
to beat NJ the people. Forty-fve minutes
saw crowd collected in the market place,
headed by Father Shortal. At the same
moment band of Parnellites arrived,
headed by Father C'Shea, the suspended
priest. The Parpellites, however, Joined
with the -Parnellites in their meeting
shouting to Davitt: "You are welcome"
Davitt spoke until Father O'Shea, their
leader, becoming impatient, exclaimed: II
must stop you. Davitt."
Davitt, amid good humored laughter ap-
pealed to Father O'Shea, as chivalrous
Irishman, to let him 90 on. Father O'Shea
was mollified and said he would allow Mr..
Davitt to continue. But after Davitt had
uttered few words, in condemnation of
Parnell, Father O'Shea lost his self control
and continued to indulge in bursts of dis
sent and indignation, occasionally subsid-
ing into dogged silence when Dayitt scored
point.
When the second appeal was made by
Davitt Father O'Shea said: Friends, let
US hear Davitt. l don't agree with him,
but respect him from the bottom of my
heart" The whole scene was oharacteris-
tic of the impulsive Irish race. There was
no disorder, and after the speech making
was ended, the whole crowd filed quietly
into the church, where mass was cele-
brated.

last night. Many of them were railroad
mngnates who uro hero here to attend
tho great meeting ut the house of j. Piere-
pont Morgan, but a goodly number were
men whose feelings are not apt to &c. the
better of them. Whether this note of hope
fulness was due more to the proximity CT
London gold than to the visit of Secretary
Window would be difficult to decide, but it
is safe to assume that both these favorinR
auspices had much to do with the changed
aspect OF the future. It was said on tho
verv best authority that when Secretary
Window left for Washington yesterday it
was understood that immediate steps would
be taken by the government to carry ont
his suggestion for the purchase of $4,000, 900
ounces of silver bullion now afloat in tho

purchase of 4, 100000 ounces. It is also in

AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
Making Sorghum Sugar Possible by
Use of Alcohol

Making Sorghum Sugar Possible by the
Use of Alcohol.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE annual report
of the chemical division of the agricultural
department contains the account of the
process recently perfected at the depart
ment as a result of experiments in the
chemical labratory with reference to the
manufacture of sorghum sugar. The report
of the chemist recities some of the various
difficulties found in the economical manu-
facture Of sugar from sorghum, and indi-
Gates that solution of the question will
be found in some process which would
as nearly as possible, the Rummy
or solid bodies from the juice without
precipitation of the sugar. The known
property of alcohol to produce precipitation
in juice was made use of in the further
study of this problem. Not only has the
removal of the gums been effected by the
process evolved during these experiments,
but 1t has been shown that this can be
effected at cost comparatively trifiino by
comparison with the results obtained. The
article used in the precipitation can be
almost wholly rscovefed by subsequent

INSULATION. Another feature is that the
eummy substance separated by the process
is itself fermentable, yielding almost half
it's weight in alcohol.
In order that the new method may become
possible. the report suggests the necessity
lor modification of the revenue laws so as
TO allow the preparation of alcohol used in
the process to be carried on without tax,
under q bond by the nufacturer that it
would be used only for this purpose.
Ihe chemist claims substantially an in
crease in the yield of sugar per Thousand
gallons OF juice. Of from an average of
about 10000 pounds to the average of over
2!,Nl. at an increase i'll cost of production
OF 1854 for the alcohol, which enters into
the new process.

SAN Francisco, Dec. A.-A sad record of
mortality in Guatemala was brought to this
port yesterday on the arrival of the Pacific
mail steamer San Juan. Among the ar
rivals was Joseph McMullen. newspaper
man from New York. The republic of
Guatemala. he says, is besieged by small
pox. The disease has made fearful prog
ress recently. He says that in seven weeks
there were twelve hundred deaths through
out the country. and the number at the
last accounts was on the increase. But
few sanitary precautions were taken when
tho epidemic first appeared. The result
was the people have been moved down by
hundreds. In the city of Guatemala a
dozen deaths occurred daily. Contrary to
dispatches sent out last night, no cholera ia

RUSSIA AND THE JEWS,

A St. Petersburg Paper Objects to English
or Other Interference.
ST.. PETERSBURG, Dec. l4.--The Novoe
Vremya protests against English OF other
foreign interference in regard to the treat
ment of Jews in Russia, and says: "The
meeting in London will not advance the
cause of the Jews one step. At the bottom
of the movement is the fear of the English
of an invasion of their country by the Jews,
who might deprive the poor of their bread
and enter into competition with the rich as
we'll. 1t was not religious intolerance that
prompted the measures relative to the Jews
in Russia. where their synagogues stand
proudly by the side of Christian churches.
1t i. the absolute necessity for saving the
rural population from being drained of
their resources by the Jews. who have al
ready ruined the peasants in Galyra. Rou-
mania and Pomerania. Russia will save
the Jews themselves from popular retribu-
tion. She does not assume a false liberal
ism; but acts openly in protecting the pros
perity of the nation. If the whole of Eu-
rope should attempt to force the distasteful
policy upon Russia, she is in position sue
cessfully to defend her independence"

Speaker Reed Still Bitterly Opposed
to the Free Coinage
of Silver.
The Less Done in the Matter,
He Thinks, tho
Better.
But the Gar Has Some Sarcastic Remarks
to Make About the Congress
Which Follows, =-S

WASHINGTON. Dec. 14.-[Special.1 1-"Shut
of your Bar Harbor building bills" said
Private JohnAllen in the house the other day
''and We will pass free coinage bill in an
hour and save the country from financlal
Disaster Evidently seventeen other
statesmen think with John Allen for that
many free coinage bills have been intro
duced in the senate and house this session.
There is an overwhelming majority in both
branches of congress in favor of free silver.
Any kind of proposition that has for it's
object the free and unlimited coinage of
silver would pass with whoop if it could
be squarely voted upon. 1t is known, how
ever, that the president will veto a straight
out free silver bill, and Speaker Reed re-
mains as unalterably opposed as ever to it.
He will do his utmost to prevent any such
legislation, but there is doubt in the
minds of great many people as to whether
he is powerful enough to thwart the wishes
of the majority.
In conversation with the speaker this
afternoon he discussed the subject with all
his vigorous utterance and originality of
expression. He declined to allow himself
to be quoted, but there is no objection to
presenting some of his views. Reed re-
CARDS all the bills which have been intro
duced and the schemes suggested to relieve
the pr essure on the money market good
deal like an epidemic. Somebody catches
the money craze and Immediately fifty
other persons have the same disease. The
symptoms are all the same, he says, only
in some they are little more
violent than in others. He says it would
be impossible to discuss plan 70 remedy
the evil because there are SO many plans
and they are all different, and each one in
the opinion of its progenitor, is little bit
better than the other. The onegreat funda-
mental plan of free silver he declines to
talk about, but there is no necessity, as it is
only too we'll known how he stands regard
ing it. The speaker is inclined to think
that the less done in the matter the better.
He thinks that the United States as we'll as
Europe has been over trading and over
speculatinR. and the inevitable result has
followed. Things are now settling them
selves, and when they have settled it will
be found that there is money enough in the
country for all purposes.
But. Mr.. Reed says. hitter all it is very
foolish for the present congress to bother
itself about the matter. The next congress,
he sarcastically observes, will contain men
who know all about finance and every other
question, and who have plans whereby the
government can go into the general lending
business and make every one happy. Under
these circumstances he thinks the best
thing is to leave the matter to be settled by
the congress which will follow.
