II ne does very little drifting, Ia one Of lone-
illness and hardship. The condition, espe-
ciaily OF the bachelors. is calculated TO APP

CHAPTER VI,
LOVES YOUNG DREAM.

Had anyone asked Francis Roche what be
thought of Brackenford during the next few
days, ne would probably have answered
that it was the most delightful place in the
whole world.
So at least it seemed to him. Lady En-
nismore was the most charming woman be

times, and Lord Ennismore was the jolliest

were particularly happy there. And more

and she saw no reason why she should not
do SO now. Somehow Francis Roche had
discovered this. They had encountered

A Reporters Romance.
EArnr,a the 81 Et,a,I lLnho

A beautiful. eristocratic English lady
and q st. Paul newspaper man have just
contributed another chapter to the annals
Of romance by falling nadly in love with
each other at first sight, and Gaping the
climax with wedding. IL happened this
way:
A few days ago handsome young woman
incribed her name upon the Ryan hotel reg
lister as follows: Miss Gertrude Violet Fair
fax. England" Miss Fairfax was not alone.
A retinue Of servants and intelligent dogs
completed the outfit. Miss Fairfax had not
been at the hotel long before il was noised
about the corridors that she belonged to
the British aristocracy and that she had
Travelled all over the world. Moreover, she
was brave, for had she not spent months in
cheerless wintry Siberia, searching and cx-
ploring those subterranean tombs where
members of the Russian nobility were con-
signed to q living deaths Stories like these
were waited hither and thither, by this one
and that.
1t is not strange that they should have
reached the ears of q hustling newspaper
man, whose regular duty it was to cover
the hctels.n Consequently, when Robert
J. Boylan, Jr.-for that is his name
glanced over the register and beheld the
distinguished name, Gertrude Violet Fair
fax, and 'sheard tell' OF her achievements.
he sent up his card and requested an inter-
view. The request was granted.
When Mr.. Boylan was nshered into the
dresence of Miss Fairfax and beheld her
distinguished countenance he fell into cap
tivity. He adored her. 1t was case OF
love at first sight.
Mr.. Boylan wrote up" this first inter-
view, but 10 Is not recorded that ne pub
hshed any Of the succeeding ones, which
would undoubtedly have made extremely
interesting reading.
Mr.. Boylan and Miss Fairfax did not
waste valuable time. Mindful of the fact
that s'the course Of true love never did run
smooth" they HE'D themselves to Judge
Otis court and were united in holy wedlock.

SPRINaFiELp, ILL, Dec. 3.-The secretary
of state board of health hus received COM
munication from the state board of health
Of Maine reciting the fact that a change
has been made in the ocean steamship ser
vice whereby passengers formerly landed
at Halifax or Montreal are now landed al
Portland and thence sent west ON the
railroad.
The first steamer this year landed at
Portland, November 18th, and on Novem-
Der 24th another party of emgrants. in
GLIDING 100 Russian Jews, was received al
that port It is suggested that in view Of
the unsanitary condition of these emil
grants, of the prevalence of smallpox and
OF threat Of importation of the Russian
plague, it is of interest to the entire conn
try, especially to the west and northwest,
that there should be some surveillance
over this class OF persons.

TONS OF slLyER.
-Four Hundred Millions in the Treasury.
The Great Bulk OF tho Pile.
David A. Wella In Hafnersa Vyeehly

David A. Wells In Hntper's Weekly.
The treasury of the United States had
in store on the LIST of October, 1901,
34S,341, 1893 silver dollars; S15,S4s 500 in
the form of subsidiary silver; silver bars
to the value of $41, 570, 1853; trade dollars
(bars), s2,394, S60-total, $500, 1e1 1926,
or, in round numbers, $500, 000,0 900. The
government, Furthermore, is increasing
this immense store by buying seven adj
ditional tons of silver every working
day in the year.
Now what does S40O0OO,0OO worth of
silver mean? Stated in figures, or ex-
pressed in words, 1t conveys to minds as
ordinarily constituted no definite idea
other than that of an incomprehensible
something, endowed with certain poten-
tialitics--possibly for good, possibly for
evil. Yet silver is physical entity,
possessing the properties of length,
breadth, thickness, capacity to occupy
or fill space, and weight. Let us apply
these properties to the $500, 600, 900, and
note some of the results of such appli-
cation.
Coined into dollars, the product will
weigh over 22,000,000 pounds avoir-
dupois, or 1000 net tons; and If Its
movement is desirable, will necessitate
for so doing the use of 1000 railroad
freight cars carrying II tons each, or
1900 cars carrying five tons each, or
$500 two-horse wagons carrying each
two tons.
The treasury counts its silver by
weighing ii, which is the part of wis
dom, in view of the fact that man,
counting at the rate of 200 dollar
~ g..
hours day, Sundays included, would
be kept busy for considerably over II
years.
Piled ono upon the other, the $780,
100000 would attain height of 875
miles; and placed side by side, they
would carpet a room so feet wide and
nearly "a miles long.
A cubic inch OF pure silver weighs
about OBS pound, and cubic foot about
657 pounds. Hence the 100000, 900, if
melted into solid mass, would occupy
some 33,500 cubic feet, which in turn
would make a solid column of pure
silver foot square and about O. miles
high-the Washington Monument being
$50 feet Assuming load of 100 pounds
per man, an army of 100000 men would
be required 10 carry the mass and would
make file, in close order 80 miles long,
occupying 80 hours in passing a given
point" allowing nothing for halts or
''rests."
Great, however, as is the mass of
silver at present in the treasure
houses" of the government, it is being
steadily increased by the purchase of
54,000,000 additional ounces every year,
or at the rate--as before stated-of
seven tons for every working day Of
the year.

PROVIDENCE DEmooRArIc.
A Vote That viii Help Make Rhode
Island N Demoetatie State.

~ stNtts
PROVIDENCE, II. l.. Dec. 2-For the first
time since 1858, and for the second time
in the history of the city, the Democrats
elected their candidate for mayor to-day
The campaign was one of the most excit-
ing ever witnessed in this vicinity, there
being five candidates in the field. Two
elections were necessary TO decide the re-
suit, as under the statutes majority vote
is required to elect.
In the first election, held last Tuesday,
William X. Potter, the Democratic candi-
date, secured plurality of the votes cast,
but lacked several hundred of II majority.
The other candidates were Henry G. Clark,
Independent Republican; Il. Il. Edmands,
Prohibition, and Jonathan Bailey,
Nationalist. To.day's vote was as follows /:
Smith. 6,6s4 Clark, 203; Edmands. lSi;
Bailey. so; Potter, 7,4l2. Potter's majority
over all, 29l.
Tonight the Democrats are celebrating
and the streets are filled with jubilant par
tlsans headed by band of music. The
election Is regarded rs the most important
held for years. The city is Democratic on
Y straight party vote, but owing to II split
the Republicans have retained control of
the government. The election of Potter
lnites the party and will have great bear
ing upon TIE elections next year, when a
successor to senator Aldrlch is to be chosen
by the legislature. The chairman of the
Democratic state central committee said
tonight that the result of to-day's election
would undoubtedly lead to Democratic
victory in the spring state election and
would be powerful factor in securing the
electoral vote OF the state for the party :

be blown into millions of pieces and cast
to the winds9 DO you know why this was
done2 Why those brave English soldiers
revenged the wrongs of their womankind
in this way2 1t was because these men
had no fear of death. Shooting or stab
bling meant nothing to them, except they
would go to some Nirvana, But that their
bodies should be mutilated meant to them
that they could never enter Paradise. And
so they were blown by those blessed can
mons to the east and the west, and no frag-
ments of them could be found and the lit
tie children and the women were avenged;
although after all, that didn't bring them
back 10 life.
YOU CAN NEVER TELL, IT'S TRUE.
Bless us and save us, | shall get the
reputation of wanting to make the world
over if dip into how the laws are to be
made and who is to grade punishments.
Still, you never can tell what will come out
of Nazareth and even woman who has
large devotion to bonnets and weakness
for the sweets of this life may indulge in a
little talk with some sense in it. Be good
enough, my friend, to find the sense.
THE MAN WITH a CAPE COAT.
There is no reason in the world why any
man who wants to mayn't wear coat
with cape to it. But for some unknown
reason the average woman objects to II. 1t
seems like taking one of her privileges; il
seems to give him kind of grly look, and
we don't want our men to get girly. There
appeared a strong likelihood of that at one
time but | think that the embroidered
night gowns, the brilliant sash ribbons
and the speaking scarfs were laughed at
so heartily that much Of the girlishness has
been deducted from the average young
man. You can't dress 4 man up like a
TOOL and expect him to be a reasonable
creature. Even put cape and hat on
dog, and he shows he has lost some of his
self-respect: and he has d sinky, miser-
able look, as il he would like to go off and
die for the very shame of it. Dress has q
great deal to do with the making of men
and dogs. Yon can put ribbon on Il
canary bird. and the tiny thing will enjoy
il and consider itself as large as a peacock;
but put ribbon on any dog of self-respect
and he will do anything in his power to
work it off. don't think we want men
who are ring-bearers and advertisers of
trousers that might be worn for skirt
dance, they are so wide; oh, dear, no;
THE MEN THE WOMEN WANT.
What we want is q man who appreciates
the extreme value of water and of soap

A man who wears his clothes rs if they

materials that ares1uiet in tone.
man who makes his scarfs subservient
to his brains, and who doesn't wear either
pale blue or scarlet hybrids at his throat.
a man whose shirt is rs immaculate as
his honor.

You see what mean. The nation longs
for a well-drcsscd man, but it doesn't want

A Diamond rhlef,s nola slrokc.

ST. PAUL, MINS., Dec. 4.-Shortly
after 8 O'Clock last evening burglar
mashed in the large plate glass window
of j. E. lngham, the jackson street
icweler, With stone tied up in ii gunny
sack; seized tray containing $4,000
worth of diamonds and darted IN an
alley, cleverly GLIDING the police. just
as he seized the tray, however, he
slipped and the sparklcrs flew in every
direction in the mud. A great mob was
soon on the ground fighting over the
rings. Twenty-Five of them were re-,
covered and turned over TO Mr..
lngham's manager. How many were
pocketed by the crowd and how many
were carried away BY the burglar is Of
course mere conjecture. There were 40
rings in the tray when the store was
closed,
