Years night, and Alice would be

"This bit Of play has done me a
world of good" said she, "but I
must not forget that | am a work

am SO grateful to you for all this
kindness !"
"She is a nice, pretty-spoken

she watched the wagon drive away.

The year was success to the
Annesleys. Justus built ewglass-
houses, planned forcing house for
peaches and strawberries, and cold
grapery to bring early Muscatels
into market.
Lucy's school-teaching kept her
supplied with pocket money, and
the old lady blossomed out in a
new silk dress and a mink cap, such
as her soul had long yearned for.
Jacintha Barretthad married DR..
Bayard and had become a widow,
the old gentleman succumbing to
apoplexy a few months subsequent
to the marriage, and leaving behind
him the sad record of fortune

Old Silas Stratton was once more
decorating the big room for the
young peoples ball, and Justus had
gone to the city with a wagon-load
of white azaleas and Bermuda lilies.

But Justus came back along, with
haggard eyes and a pale face.

The Big Generals Salad.

The late Chief Justice Chase's daugh-
ter tells this story of a visit to old Cen
eral Winfield Scott at Cozzens West
Point: Gle gave US seats at his own es-
pecial table. and was very kind to US,
but l was terribly afraid of him. One of
his greatest pleasures at the table was
to mix the most fiery Of salads, which he
would send by his own man (who always
stood behind his masters chair with
the Generals compliments to the favored
few. My gastronomic tastes were far
from being developed, and the old gem
tleman's red pepper and mustard nearly
killed me. 1 simply could not eat the
burning stuff Feeling the Generals eye
upon me, I vainly tried to swallow it,
but failed ANONYMOUSLY, with tears
coming into my eyes with the effort. To
add to my discomfort and modification,
a voice roared out in deep tone from
the Generals throne: The little Chase
does not like my salad.

Money Markets Are Undisturbed and Col
IectiOns Little Easier.
r. G.. Dun s. Co. s weekly review of trade
says:
But for speculation this would have been
a comparatively dull week. In the interior
business has been somewhat improved with
more favorable weather, but many causes
combine to prevent great activity. Proml-
nent among these is the reaction from ex-
cessive real estate speculation and building
which have prevailed for years in some
aI1v nndisturbed and comparatively easy,
with fair to brisk demand at many points
and Z little stringency at one or two. COL

slowly. The business failures occurring
throughout the country during seven days
number, for the United States, 2O5, and for
Canada, ~, or total of 247, as compared
with total of PSI last week, and @43 the
week previous to the last. For the cores
ponding week of last year the figures were
218, representing ITO failures in the United
States and 80 in the Dominion of Canada.

..The Sea King Returns.

Among comic opera productions none
have more rapidly won favor than "The
Sea King" At it's first visit to Chicago
it was pronounced superior to those
other gems, "The Merry Monarch" and
Castles in the Air." and return en-
gagement will beplayed at McVicker's
new theater, commencing May 3, by
Gilmore's superb company. The scenic
effects and the costumes in "The Sea
King" approach closely to the marvellous.
In May, also, McVicker's will present
the New York success, "Blue Jeans. "
This playa comedy drama-abounds IN
natural realism, and tells story Of life
so thrillingly that interest is intense
from start to finish. A startling limo
walton is the introduction Of sawmilI
in full operation. "Blue Jeans" will be
presented with its original New York

The WhftechapeI Fiend Has Crossed the

Jack the Ripper has come to New York at
last. His handiwork is SO plain in muir
der committed in the East River Hotel,
low resort, that there seems to be no room
for doubt. The police admit it. Captain
Richard OConnor, one of Inspector Byrnes
Oldest and sharpest detectives said at
noon: dts Jacks work to dot"
Who is he, where he came from,
what he is, and why he murdered
the woman who is the victim, no
one knows as yet. The woman's name is
not even known. She is known about the
neighborhood as one of the lot of half
drunken creatures who hang about the bad
resorts by the water side. Her abdomen
had been ripped open with dull, broken
table knife that lay in the blood. The Wis
cera had been cut, and from appearances
the heart was missing The man had es-
capped. Little leaked out, except that the
murderer was man about 80 years old and
shabbily dressed.

Duty ON Lottery Tickets.

Having been debarred from using the
United States mail, branches of lottery
companies which formerly did business in
the United States have been established in

he instructs the custom officers to assess
duty upon them at the rate of % per cent
ad valorem of their face value, under the
paragraph of the Mckinley bill which pro-
vided for this rate of duty upon "all print
ed matter not especially provided for.''
