ANEW YEARS STORY.

81 never saw the house look quite so
pretty before as it does now said little
Daisy Mount, delightedly, to her big
sister Carrie.
Summoning all the dignity of her sew
enteen years, Carrie replied: mo, of
course you have not for | have never
prepared to- receive before
''And I'm TO tend door. OH won't it
be fun. l wish the first caller would
come now"
Daisy laughed merrily while she talked
but Carrie answered, seriously, and just
a trifle Grossly, "Well, then l don't.
Surprising the bell should ring, do you
suppose | would receive calls in this
dress?" looking disdainfully down at her
blue worsted morning-dress.
"You might; l don't believe the
young men would care. You look
pretty in anything" Daisy said admir-
ingly.
Carrie laughed, and then answered,
''Never mind any flattery now; but help
me put the finishing touches upon these
rooms"
A half-hour later the rooms were
"all ready" and Carrie ran to her
room to dress in the pretty wine
colored silk made expressly for the
occasion.
Daisy, already attired in her prettiest
dress, an embroidered blue cashmere,
called in her mother to admire the ''re-
ceiviig rOomsn-that is, the two parlors,
with porterie curtains hiding the sliding
doors and the dining-rOOm in the rear,
separated from the back parlor by an
other porterie curtain.
The Mount house was on corner, and
the parlor and dining-room windows
faced the street, SO that every one passing
by that day had full view of the pref
tily arrange windows. Many stopped to
admire the vines winding up to the top
of the easements, the sweet hyacinths
smiling into their faces, the waxy
begonias and brilliant geraniums, the
gorgeous scarlet lilies and the stately
callas towering over all.
The flowers and the birds singing in
their pretty gilded cages were all
passers-by could see unless it was an
occasional glimpse at smiling face
peeping outward over the buds and
blossoms.
Daisy was kept very busy from
eleven to three letting in and out
callers. After three there was a short
lull, and the family were left alone a
| little while.
I'm most starved" Daisy said, eating
a sandwich in manner quite suggestive
of a famished condition, land, oh
mamma, l never tasted turkey so good
as this"
That's because you are decidedly hun
Cry, Carrie said. "Everthing tastes better
than usual to-day. | never tasted such
delicious salad, or oysters, or jelly, or
coffee, or anything before" laughed Car
rie; and with the laugh came another
ring of the bell.
Daisy, who had thrown down her sand
wich to attend the door, came back with
strange expression, half comic, half
serious, upon her face.
There's queer little girl at the
door, mamma, all rags rs to clothes
and she looks about as cold as cake of
ice."
What does she want?'

The Rome Sensation.

The trial of Mrs. Mckee at Rome, Ga,
who is charged with having murdered Mrs.
Wimpee, an intimate and trusted friend, is
a very sensational one. Mrs. Mckee is de-
scribed as a beautiful woman. Not long
ago she was favorite in Atlanta society.
And, if it be true that she poisoned Mrs.
Wimpee, she was led TO do so by condi-
ton of affairs which was brought about by
her extravagance.
According to the testimony, she wanted
more money than she was willing to ask her
husband for, and SO she got Mrs. Wimpee
to borrow it from Mr.. Mckee. Then
Mrs. Mckee gave her notes to Mrs. Vim
pee and received the money. When the
notes came due she was unable to pay
them, and the theory Of the state is that she
killed Mrs. Wimpee In order to get the
notes and destroy them.
A woman who would get money the way
it is alleged Mrs. Mckee did has not a strong
moral character, and it is probable that the
state expects the jury will accept the view
that woman who would deceive her hus-
baud with respect to money matters would
not hesitate to commit a crime if the
motive to do so was strong. The outcome
of the trial is being watched with very
great interest.

He was blonde and had small curling
blonde mustache, says the New YORK Journal
He was about 20 years of age and wore a plug

of loud appearance.
She was a brunette, about 25 with loud fea-
lures. languishing eyes and coquettish and so
was her manner. A Sealskin circular sur

relief, Thank heaven" He followed close on
her heels holding her hand.
Both acted as II they were alone, though the
car was filled with plain, sensible, everyday
people.
The train started, but the lovers were blind to-
everything but the presence of each other. The
guard came and looked at them and the pas
sengers cracked witticisms, but they were I'M
heard.
A lady of doubtful age, who sat near the
couple, gave vent to loud snorts of disgust as
she watched them, and openly espresso the
opinion that the girls of the present day had no
sense OF modesty.
But the ve-making went on, the man bent
down until his face was close to the woman's
and another long drawn kiss drew a chorus of
abs from the passengers.
Where do you want to go?" said the guard,
tapping the man on the shoulder when the train
was on its way to Third street.
%, by Jove! we're two stations past our way
We'll get off at Third street"
And the woman, with an injured look on her
face, glanced at the guard Indignantly and nest

themselves from each other. and looking at the
guard with disgust, passed out into the cold

New YORK and chicago Alarmed.

1
The number Of deaths reported IN Chi
cago on Sunday was nearly 800, and on
Monday it was 200. Five hundred deaths
IN two days are enough to make the
Chicagoans uneasy. Never before in her
history had Chicago such large number
of deaths in one day as on Sunday. It is
said that on that day the streets leading to
the cemeteries were crowded all day with
funerals. 1t was estimated that on Sunday
night there were 200 bodies in the city
awaiting burial. The grip is the cause,
either directly or indirectly, of a majority
Of the deaths; and it has not spread TO all
parts Of the city yet
| New York has a mild epidemic Of the
grip, but it IS increasing in severity.
Nearly 200 of her policemen are on the sick
list. They are suffering from the prevail
ing disease.
The doctors say that the epidemic has
only fairly begun. And the disease in
many cases is proving fatal in such sur.
prisingly short time that the people are
becoming panic-stricken. The doctors tell
their patients to stay at home on the ap>
pearance of a slight cold. to keep in one
temperature and to take the best of care of
their general health.
DIR. Carl Seller, of Philadelphia. dis
tinguished specialist in throat troubles, ex-
pressed the belief a few days ago that the
disease now prevalent in this country, and
called the grip, is an absolutely new disease.
which is in no way akin to the influenza
In his opinion there is probability that it
is a nervous affection, or perhaps primarily
disease of the brain. In the course of his
remarks he said: Heretofore the symptoms
of this new disease have been treated rather
than the disease itself, and that accounts
for the great diversity Of views among
medical men on the subject. Its manifesto
tions are as varied as it is possible to con-
ceive. As often as not it manifests itself by
producing an eczema, and one of the most
remarkable cases that have fallen under my
attention was that Of lady who came to
me for treatment, suffering in this way SO
painfully that existence was impossible for
her except in bran bath. For two days
she lived in this bran mash with only her
head above the surface"
Very few, if any, physicians probably
agree with Dr. Seller, but so little is known
of the grip beyond the history of its success
i've appearances, and there is such variety
Of phases of it that there is room for great
deal of speculation with respect to it.

Prominent Men Indicted.

Our dispatches stated yesterday that the
directors of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad Company had been in
dlcted for permitting the use of stoves in
the cars on that road. There is law
which prohibits the use OF stoves. On Feb.
20 there was a collision in a tunnel in New
York city and six persons lost their lives.
The cars caught fire from the stoves with
which they were heated. Under the statute
the use of stoves in cars is a misdemeanor.
Among those indicted are the many times
millionaire Rockefeller, and Chauncey NJ
Depew.
1t is not very pleasant position for the
indicted men to be in. They are, however,
the persons who are responsible for viola
tions of law by the railroad company of
which they are directors. They knew what
the law was and they permitted it to be ig-
nored. They may say that they were ex-
perimenting with other systems Of heating,
and that while the experiments were going
on they retained the stoves. That excuse,
however, is not good defense. They
should have removed the stoves when the
law against them went into force.
The grand jury did not want to find the
indictments. 1t could not avoid doing so,
however, without ignoring the law and the
facts, and they did not want to do that.
They knew what their duty was and they
did it. And there is not much doubt that
all the indicted persons will be convicted.

them are sweeping over the coast of
Casabiauca in clouds. They have scaled the
walls of the city of Morocco and presented
themselves at the threshold of residences to

people have not much for themselves.
Famine, which usually follows in their

absurd. Langston is one of those who need
it most. If they would make fewer de-
mands and more corn they would be in a

Arresting a United States marshal for
carrying concealed weapons by the civil
authorities Of Mississippi caused rather a
queer case to be brought to trial at Oxford
the other day. When the accused was
brought before United States district
court the judge decided that the weapon
was necessary for the officers personal pro-
lection, and that no state court was compe-
tent to thus arrest the action of a United
States court. This fact appears so self
evident that a formal decision seemed
hardly necessary. Unless that officer was
unknown to the local authorities who
arrested him be was probably the victim of
spite.

Gormany's young emperor is beginning to
feel hot under the collar and anxious. While
he has been disporting himself in gorgeous
regimentals and mastering his men around
just to see them step, his ancient Gallo
enemy has quietly formed an almost
irresistible alliance with the formidable
Russian car. Now he begins to think it is
time for his boosted triple alliance TO get
together and put curb upon Russia bsfore
the great bear becomes too ferocious But
it is doubtful if all three of them together
could hold the bear even after they caught
him. They would soon want England to
