THE NEXT SERIAL STORY,

One OF the most interesting Of American
novelists is EDGAR FAwCETT. The best
work of his life he has put into a novel he
mas Just finished. He calls it AMERICAN
PUSH. The hero Iispenard) is a rich New
York gentleman. At the opening of the story
he has just become engaged to Miss Kath-
leen Kennard, young girl with slight social
position and n tremendously ambitious
mother. Almost at once a financial crash
ruins Lispenard. He has been regarded by
his friends as a luxurious fdIer, but now he
rises to the situation and reveals great force
of character. In his sweetheart, Kathleen
he reposes the utmost condolences; but To
his horror and anguish, she shows that the
sordid feelings of her mother have had
weigh with hef-or at least he believes SO.
An American friend of Lispenard's, named
Eric Thaxter, has obtained a position for
him with the young King of Carpathia-a
nm de steele sort of King, whom Mr.. Favcett
means to make new and remarkable
character in fictional literature. Lispenard
becomes a power behind the throne. Mrs.
Kennard, through her intrepid maneuyer-
ings, gains an audience with the King. Kath-
leen is self-disgusted and resolved that she
will never marry, now that her lover is lost
to her, but she greatly fascinates the King.
Meanwhile the Kings mother gets wind of
his attachment and uses potent means of
anger and disapprovaL
All this time Lispensrd has kept In the
background, though he has watched tho
machinations of Mrs. Kennard. He has
grown to greatly admire his royal patron,
and, though he still loves Kathleen, he has
a strong sense Of contempt for her seeming
infidelity. The little (lnythicaD German
realm is almost shaken to its foundations by
the Kings meditated decision to marry an
untitled foreigner. But GuddaDIv ba ,5fs
covers that the American girl has through
out remained faithful to her early love, and
the story ends with the dramatic defeat of
Mrs. kennard's schemes, and the noble
sacrifice and self-repression of the King.
This great story has been secured by THE
DISPATCH and its publication will begin
Sunday, September 2s. 1t win be one of the
literary treats of the year.

THEY KEEP THE FIRES BURNING,

And the Women Of New Guinea Toll For
Their Absent Husbands Safety.
New York Herald.l
There is a beautiful custom among the na-
tives of New Guinea which carries valua-
BILE lesson in it. Once q year the men of
New Guinea set out on a trading expedi-
tion. 1t is an enterprise of great peril, for
they are liable to shipwreck on the coast,
and to the attack of hostile tribes who
would capture their boats and property.
There is prevalent belief that those who
stay at home-their mothers, wives and
daughters-haveI much to do with their re-
turn. If, during the absence of their loved
ones, they keep the fire constantly burning
ON the hearth the men will return in safety;
but, if, through neglect, the fire burns out
some evil will occur.
All the time that the expedition Is away
the women guard most jealously and in
person the burning fire, fearing to commit
the duty to others lest they, not having the
same affection for the loved one absent,
should allow it to go out. Thus they watch
and wait until the shouts of the villagers
give the glad news that the expedition is
returning, when they put on their best
attire and gladly go forth to meet the re-
turning. Any woman who, during his
absence, has allowed her fire to go out is
held by her neighbors to have lost the love
of her husband.
There is lesson here for both domestic
and religious life.

Russell Sage, the millionaire railway
magnate, has GA coins, ranging from pen
nies, which form the majority of the collec-
ton, to silver dollars, of which there are
four, 1 have heard, that could not be bought
for thousand times their face value, much

tion represents Mr.. Sage's finds ON the

ent periods extending over so years and
holds ON to them like grim death to q negro.
AS he found them he placed mark on
them and put them into little buckskin
bag which he always carries with him. ,
He regards them as luck coins, although
if taxed with being superstitious would
probably deny the charge. That bag con-
tanning the coins is never away from him,
sleeping or waking, and if some enterpris-
ing highwayman wants to make haul he
can do so by holding up the thrifty Mr.
Sage, and, securing the 64 coins, hold them
for princely ransom. The first coin Mr..
Sage found was penny-one of the old
sort-and he, of course, values that more
than any of the others. Next to the Iowa

THEY HAVEN'T ENOUGH ROOM.

But, serious as this question Of river en-
croachments is, there is equal gravity in the
question, what are you going to do about
it3" Every large manufacturing establish
ment In Pittsburg and Allegheny-Alle-
gheny county you may almost SAYS
located upon the river banks, or In prox-
unity to them. There are Is miles of river
front on the Monongahela river in the city,
counting both shores. On the Allegheny
river in the city limits there are 13 miles
more. and on the Ohio from the Point to
Davis Island dam eight miles. That makes
SO miles Of river frontage for the two
cities, more than one-half of which is closely
occupied by furnaces, steel and iron mills,
foundries, brass and copper works, and
glass factories. What shall they do with
their refuse? With the exception of the
Edgar Thomson and Carrie Furnaces, these
corporations have room enough only to
store months supply ofore for their actual
necessities. Colonel Roberts says that so
mneh heavy tonnage business is nowhere,
perhaps, in the world transacted upon such
confined areas as about the furnaces and the
steel and iron mills of Pittsburg.
So greatly cramped for room for his actual
needs, what, therefore, is the iron carpen-
ter to do with his chips and shavings if the
United States engineers, now at work on
the problem, build an imaginary fence
along the rivers? L E. SToFIEL-vs

A small boquet of artificial flowers Is

The flowers of this floral barometer be-

less way you are filing up your useful river

is beautiful stream, and capable of great
utility. As came down along its shores I

gently-sloped banks, I said to myself; This

river contracted because ofthose solid banks
of Stag and cinders from your great iron

from tens of thousands of kitchens farther
and farther out into the river-when I
beheld the result of this policy, why I re-

in the name of common sense, if your au-

throw up these Stag and cinder embankments
above the business part of the city, do they
not compel them to build entertainments of

ONLY EIGHT FEET OF WATER.
This flling-in Of the rivers has q sort Of
'tdouble back action" result which the
stranger above quoted failed to note.
Colonel 7. P. Roberts, the well-known local
engineer, puts it into words as follows:
IA shoal exists in the Monongahela river
above the Tenth street bridge, where for q
distance of about 400 feet the channel depth
is only eight feet when the Davis Island
dam is full This particular shoal has be-
come worse in recent years, the result of the
imprudent encroachments made by filing
out the river banks and making its waters
the receptacle for the ashes and cinders of
numerous large manufacturing establish
ments, and of the refuse coal from mines
along the river. Recent legislation has
been had from Congress looking to the cor
rection of the evils here complained of, and
which have been for years a source of an
noyance to the interests concerned in the
navigation of the rivers above Pitts
burg, and efforts are now being
made to have the law put in

MAKING TT A CHUTE.

"Why? just because the river from the
Sharpsburg bridge down to the Point may
be designated a long, narrow chute, which
in flood time becomes a swirling, seething
mass of currents, too swift to be safe for any
craft. To stranger as am, following day
by day this river from its forest-clad shores
up around Warren down to Sharpsburg, the
stream suddenly assumes the appearance
that describe by the word chute. You
have reduced its width until you confne its
waters too much, and it roars along in food
time with violence unknown above at
points where its spread right and left is IN
restricted. Therefore I will venture the
assertion that raftsmen experience greater
difficulty. in holding their lumber at Herr's
Island than they do above Sharpsburg.
They are in the very midst of this narrowed
channel, and consequently get more Of its
force.
"Just in proportion as these cinders and
dirt encroachments into your river increase,
the extent of damage done in your city by
floods is greater. The lower parts of your
two cities-down around the junction of the
two rivers-is inundated oftener than they
used to be, and each time the water is moro
violent and deeper on your streets. Why,
