Quick as lightning she drew q small
gold chain, with gold looket shaped
like a heart dangling at its end, from
her neck.

Joanna. huskily. "And. Dora--one
word more; let me kiss you, just

BY way of an answer Theodore Ox-
gate threw her arms around the tall
girls neck and pressed her soft red lips
to the others cold mouth. And as she
did SO something splashed on her check
hot tear. @,.s, 1890.
The next minute Joanna Elfeld had
disappeared into the world Of shadows
that were lowering over all the autumn
landscape. And asshe went she imur-
INJURED to herself:
'Some one believes in me yet Its
a strange sensation, and yeti gives
one something to live for, after all p
Dora Theodora! Why don't you
answer :? But no one thinks it worth
while to pay any attention to me uow-a-
days"
1t was Mrs. Oxgate's shrill, piping
voice, as helpless from paralysis, she
sat in her cushioned chair by the door,
way.
"What is it. mamma ?" Dora asked,
coming to the door.
The Oxgate farm house had drifted
sadly to decay. Fences had fallen
gates hung creaking grass meadows
had toppled over with their own weight

She gave her apron twist and tried

poor useless feet as the tall, stately lady

How as q College studsnt He Di-
verted Travel to the Sea Shore.
A New York Times correspondent at
New Haven gives some interesting reminis-
oences told by Capt. Elizur Thompson,
the venerable keeper of the lighthouse at
the entrance of New Haven harbor. One of
the stories which the captain ever delis hts
in telling to visitors, says the correspondent,
ana there are thousands who have heard it,
IS in regard 70 a hoax that Cassius M.
Clay perpetrated on the people
of New Haven when he was a student at
Yale. Clay, like majority of the students
at that time. was fond of spending his
leisure hours at Kemp s. Hardy's restau.
rant, close to t Lighthouse, where shore
dinners and excellent liquors were dis
pensed. One day the preprletors of the res
taurant complained that trade was dull.
and IN response the future statesman in.
CURED Why the place was not better adver-
USED. The discussion Of the matter resulted
In Gays determination to show what could
be done by calling the attention of the
public TO the shore resort
Accordingly, on the following day, the
people or New Haven were astonished to
see in the papers the account OF a capture
OF an immense whale in the harbor-so
largo whale, indeed. that twenty pair of
oxen were required to haulit upon the shore
at the old light house. The report was
printed in good faith by the papers and had
All the appearance of truthful account.
There vas no lack of visitors to the light
house then. Telephones had not been in
vented. and there was no immediate way OF
learning that the story was hoax. Crowds
hastsned to the shore to see the captured mon
star, and when there found nothing to do
but to regale themselves at the restaurant
hose who returned early to the CITY were
10th to tell how they had been fooled. and
many OF them related stories about the
whale that went far Leyond the invention
OF young Clay. 1t was several days before
the real facts were established and the
crowds ceased TO congregate at the light
house. The restaurant men made a sSall
fortune, and Clay the eater had the com.
plste freedom of the place.

Dr. George p. Hayes of Kansas City
thought the committee should be dis
charged from further consideration Of
church unity with the Episcopal Church and
that we have as much International fedora
tion as is practical. This is especially true
in foreign and home missionary fields.
DIR. Rice of Oakland, Cal, thought no in
vidious exceptions of Epscopalans should
be made or implied as if their peculiar no.
tions were the principal obstacle to unity.
Baptist brethren cannot commune with us.
but we manage to cooperate more and more
every year.
DIR. Alexander Proudft of Baltimore
thought we ought to let our Episcopal
brethren understand that we esteem our or
dnatIOn VOWS to be as valid as theirs.
There are hopeful signs of improvement.
DIR. McCOok. from the committee, said that
the d0ctrinal standards of the Episcopal
Church DO not compel them to treat US
with ecclesiastical discourtesy. It's only
matter of tradition and usage.
We know reasons which we cannot
tell the public why we should be patient
and hopeful just now. The lack of what we
aim to secure keeps Christian influence out
OF many a pris0n, almshouSe, army post;
etc, when otherwise it would be welcome.
The discussion continued at great length.
The matter was finally referred to a special
committee to be brought up before the
assembly as soon as practicable. A large
committee was appointed to attend the Pan
Presbyterian Council at Toronto in 1892.

New YORK. May 22.-The revolutionary
movement which was reported by telegraph
as having broken out in Costa Rica, and
which was subsequently denied, did take
place despite the denials. Letters from San
Jose dated May 7th confirm and suppl ement
the first reports. The movement, however,
was nipped in the bud by the prompt arrest
of the conspirators, whose trial was, at the
time the letters were sent. soon to begin
before the ordinary tribunals or in court
martial. 1t appears that the leaders of the
intended rebellion were General Jesus A.
Soto, father of ex-President Bernard
Soto, Generals Evarigto Carazo, Fed
eric Vellrde and Rafael Echeverria,
and two eivilians-Senores Malta SaenZ
Deheredia and Juan l. Flores. The latter
was set at liberty on condition that he
should leave the country Immediately. The
Government, President Rodriguez, which
represents the ultra Conservative and Cleri-
cal party, took advantage Of the still-b
conspiracy to proclaim the suspension OF
the habeas-corpus law for seventy days.
President Rodriguez received in public
audience on May 9th Romualdo Pacheco,
the new Minister of the United States to
Central America, who had just arrived in
Costa Rica from Guatemala to present his
credentials. On the evening Of his arrival
the military bands gave Pacheco a serenade.

PHILADELPHIA, May 22.-There is great
excitement here to-day over the sensational
developments in the affairs of the Spring
Garden Bank and the Keystone Bank, the
flight of the indicted President Of the latter
institution and the resignation from Office of
City Treasurer Beardsley. WIN. II. Wana-
maker, one of Marsh's bondSmen, this morn
ing offered reward of $1,000 for the arrest
of tie fugitive, and has employed a detective
to run him down. An attachment was taken
out this morning against the Bradford Mills,
of which City Treasurer Beardsley is the
owner, by two of the suretieS on his bond.
This morning an assignment was recorded
Of all of Beardsleys property FOR the benefit
of the city. The Clearinghouse due bills
issued by the keystone National Bank, and
given Beardsley at thelvarious times that
S930000 of the State moneys were
deposited, are not worth the paper
they are written on, unless the assets
of Athe bank include more than the
deposits as shown by the ledger. These due
bills are issued by banks belonging to the
Philadelphia clearinghouse Association for
the accommodation OF depOsitOrs. If Mr..
Beardsley, when he received the clearing
house due bills from the Keystone National
Bank had immediately redeposlted them,

clearinghouse the next morning and if the
Keystone Bank had been creditor OF the
clearinghouse to the amount of the bills
they would have been paid. Mr.. Beardsley
knew, or should have known, that by keep
ing the due bills he was simply speculating
upon the solidity of the Keystone Bank.
The bank is not at this time a creditor at
the clearinghouse to the amount of the due
bills now held by Beardsley, and they are
therefore worthless. At the Office of the
United States Marshal this afternoon it was
stated that the runor that Marsh, the alb
seondC President of the Keystone National
Bank, had been arrested in Montreal had
been investigated and found to be without
foundation.
