afternoon tea, as he chose to call it,
was given in her honor. Not more than

were the ones that Kathleen had spe-

CHAPTER L-Cosr1suEn.

'sIn April, my boy. You remembers,
Phil, how hated the thought of mar
rage TIL I met her. Then some
thing changed. I felt like a trans
formation scene in pantomime. That
big solid lump OF prejudice in me gave
sort of click, and there it was, a
church altar, with clergyman or two
behind 1t, looking round to see whom
they could marry. And do you know
why that lovely girl has SO captured
me? Because I believe she's without
one speck of sham. It isn't her beauty
or her brains or her power Of charming
you, for she's got all three. It's her
mighty genuineness, Phil She often
seems % me, beside the women meet
her with, like live flower that's lost its
way among basket Of false ones Her
petals (the darling) were not purchased
at fancy shop. They came fresh from
the loom of Nature, who spun them with
her heart in her work. / find there's
so much in that, by the bye. Natures
made such crowds and crowds of us
while not caring whether Brown was to
be poet or politician, Jones deacon
or dentist. It's only when she goes to
work In dead earnest that she turns out
her magnificent men and women" He
clasped both hands together with a
fervor that in almost anyone else would
have been solely comic. "And Kathleen
Kennaird is one Of the lastl''
ST wonder" said Lexington, dryly,
and yet with a polite air of venture,
whether you have any feelings Of this
sort about Mrs. Kennaird, her mother"
Alonzo broke into high and hearty
laugh. ''She's wor1dliness itselfr' he
cried. 'fWho doubts it? But she's a very
picturesque figure. I like to look at
her. She sweeps through life so. Her
chief idea of being happy is to don a
new gown and meet people She's
tremendous as an incarnate idea
should like to paint her as that If

A LAUNDERING PARTY.
Only One Issue Upon which Republics
Base Their Hopes


Base Their Hopes
Thousands of republicans emphati-
cally announced at the polls two years
enactment of the Mckinley law, and
now they are indignant at the course
adopted by the repu blican senate in
Withholding action upon matters of
vital interest to the country. That
body refused to consider the tariff bill
sent to it from the house, and thus ig-
nored the wishes of the great majority
as Expressed at the polls. Among
other shortcomings it also declined to
act on the measures looking to the adj
mission to statehood of Arizona and
New Mexico.
But there may be an apology for this
mastery inactivity on the part of the
controlling power in the senate 1t
may have been restrained by want OF
faith in its own wisdom, as suggested
by humiliating experience. When the
notorious Reed congress adjourned,
after one of the longest sessions on
record, boastful republicans pointed 70
a formidable list of enacted laws which
were to bring the smile of prosperity
upon the entire nation. The republic
ans had passed the Mckinley tariff
bill, the pension bill, the silver bill
the antitrust bill. the subsidy bill and
| bills admitting several new states tc
the union These legislative achieve
ments were pointed to with apparent
pride and the party organs sang THEN
praises in grand chorus.

Republican Hopes That Are Wfthout
FoundatioR
The republican Organs seem to be
fairly confident that the democrats will
lose the state OF West Virginia this
fall, or. If they are not SO, their express
sions of opinion are insincere. We do
not know, nor do they state, on what
their hopes are based, except the gen.
eral favorable reports made to Chair
man Carter. The fact that Mr.. Elkins
firmly declined to be the candidate of
his party for governor would indicate
that he does not share the confidence
protested by the party papers He Is
undoubtedly very popular in the state,
and his nomination would have done
more to carry it for Harrison than any
one thing the party could do. and that
result would give Mr. Elkins prestige

n national politics that he certainly
!esires and can hardly win in any
other way. He has declined the chance,
and it is impossible not to infer that he
did not think 1T worth accepting We
notice, by the way, that the chief orator
at the republican convention took pains
to assure his hearers that there would
be mo United States marshais at the
polls this year. Can II be that the
force bill is as unpopular in republican
circles as in democratic circles in the
south? Is 1t intended solelysto fire the
northern heart?-N. Y. Times.

BIG OFFER TO ]. w. SCOTT.
Hslf Million Dollars for Five Years.
Service Refused by the Chicago Man.

Half q Million Dollars for Five Years
Service Refused by the Chicago Man.
New YORK, jan. 30.-Half million
dollars for five years services 800 900
a year-twice as much as the salary
paid to the President of the United
iates. That is the figure recently
ifered by newspaper publisher to an
Their newspaper publisher, and actually
refused by the latter. The one
who offered it was Joseph Pulit-
izer, of the World: and the one who
refused it was James w. Scott, publisher
OF the Chicago Herald and the Chicago
Evening Post. The proposition, which
was made by Mr.. Pulitzer when the
Chicago publisher was in this city last
week in attendance on the meeting of
tue executive committee of the Ameri
can Newspaper Publishers Association,
embraced five years contract at the
figure named with other inducements
that would have considerably increased
the sum total; upon condition that Mr..
Scott settle IN New York for the period
named, and give his entire time and at
tention to the management of the
World. This offer, enormous as it was.
however, was declined on the ground
that with Chicago on the eve of the
Worlds Fair it would be impossible
for Mr.. Scott to rellnquish direct
supervision of his two newspaper
properties in that city. 1t is said that
nothing approaching this salary has ever
before been offered to any man in any
profession or line of business in this
country. For few years before his
retirement the late president, Tom
Scott, of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
drew presidential salary, $50 year;
and this was regarded at the time as SO
enormous figure that many visiting
foreigner sought an intro duction to him
simply to see the man whose executive
ability was considered worth that ex-

MESSAGE OF PEACE.

Harrison Puts an End to the War Talk
Chnis Apology Satisfactory.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 2S.-Presi-
dent Harrison sent a message to Con-
gress to-day which will efectually put an
end to all war talk and which brings to
an end what will be known in history
as s'the Gillian incident" The
message gives assurance that peace
with Chill will be maintained. Ac-
companying the message is the remain
der of the correspondence, received
since the first message was sent in, in
GLIDING the caDlegram from the Gillian
minister of foreign affairs, Offering
apology and indemnity for the Balti-
more affair, and Withdrawing the de-
mand for the recall of Minister Egan.
The Presidents message is as follows:
To THE SENATE AND HOUSE OF REP
REsENTATIvEs: transmit herewith adj
ditional correspondence between this gov
eminent and the government of Chilli,
consisting of note of Mr.. Mont, the
Gillian minister at the capital, to Mr..
Blame, dated January %; a reply of Mr..
Blaine thereto of date OF January 81,
and dispatch from Mr.. Egan, our minis
ter at Santiago, transmitting the
response Ct Mr.. Pereira, the Gillian
minister OF foreign affairs, to the note of
Mr.. Blaine of January Fl, which was re-
celved by me on the Goth inst. The note of
Mr.. Montt to Mr.. Blaine, though dated
January 23, was not delivered at the State
Department until after IL o'clock merid-
ian of the 25th, and was not trans
lated and it's receipt notified to me
until late in the afternoon OF
that day. The response of MI. Pereira to
our note of the 21st withdraws, with ac-
ceptable expressions of regret, the Of
fensiye note of Mr.. Malta of the 18th ult,
and also the request for the recall of Mr..
Egan. The treatment of the incident of
the assault upon the sailors of the Balti-
more is so concil1atory and friendly that I
am of the opinion that there is a good
prospect that the difference grow
ing out of that serious affair can
now be adjusted upon terms sat-
isfactory to this government, by
the usual methods and without special
powers from Congress- This turn in the
affairs is very gratifying to me, as I am
sure 1T will be to the Congress and to our
people. The general support of the efforts
of the executive to enforce the just rights
OF the nation in this matter has given all
instructive and useful illustration of the
unity and patriotism OF our people.
Should it be'necessary, will again comlnu-
nicate with Congress upon the subject.

in Dickinson County, in Custody.
CHICAGO, Ill.,, Feb. Frank Fleck-
enstein, of Dickinson County, Mich,
was arrested in this city yesterday. He
is charged with the murder Of Patrick
Casey, foreman of a logging camp twenty
miles from Iron Mountain. Fleck-
enstein had been employed in the
camp, but quit two days prior to the
murder. which was committed Deem
Der 80 of last year. On the day in ques-
ton Casey went to Iron Mountain, fol-
lowed by Fleckenstein. While in Iron
Mountain Casey cashed checks for $357
and got two watches belonging to
men in the camp. When he took
the train to return to the camp
Fleckenstein still accompanied him.
They alighted at different places, Fleck>
enstein lying in ambush for his man.
With stick of cord wood ne fractured
Casey's skull and rifled his pockets Of
the watches and a sum of money. Chica-

NEW TARIFF IN EFFECT,

French Shipmasters Make Desperate Eff
forts to Reach Port Before the Change.
PARIS, Feb. There were many ek-
citing scenes at the various French
ports yesterday, owing to the efforts of
shipmasters and consignees to get their
cargoes entered at the custom houses
before the new commercial arrange
ments went into effect. A number of
vessels arrived in the nick of time to
get their cargoes in under the
old tariff. Several Spanish Wine steam
ers arrived at Bordeaux at minute be-
tore.6 O. CLOCK last night. Their captains
had driven the vessels at their top
speed to make the port so that the wine
they carried might escape the new and
higher tariff, and they were very indig-
nant when they went to enter their YES
sells and cargoes to find the custom house
closed for the day, business being
suspended at o'clock sharp. One cap
tain managed to get his papers into the
hands of the customs officials Just as the
hour struck. This, however, was all
that was necessary, and his cargo es-
capped the higher duty, which would
have amounted to 5000 francs more had
his vessel arrived minute later.

Doors of the Freeborn County Depository
Permanently Closed.
ALBERT LEA, Mimi, Jan. 30.-Had a
cyclone swept down upon the city on d
clear summers day it would have
created scarcely any more of sensation
than did the announcement that the
Freebor County Bank, owned by the
late Lieut.. Armstrong, did not
have money to pay depositors,
to reopen it as bank, it having
been closed since Mr.. Armstrong;
recent death. The deposits amount to
about SEC, 900, and they will all be paid
in due time, but it will be necessary to
sell some real estate in order to do this.
There ore rumors that Gov. Armstrong
lost 100000 in wheat speculations in
Chicago. He left large amount of real
estate, but it will require nearly all of it
to pay the claims against the bank, and
it is said that there will not be much
left except the homestead.

FURTHER RIOTING FEARED.

Reports of an Alarming Nature from
Back Provides of China.
SHANGHAI, Jan. 30.-Special kilograms
of disquieting nature have been re-
ceived here from lchang, on the
Yang tse- K1ang, $50 miles from it's
mouth, and from Chunking, on the
same river, 1,25O miles from it's mouth.
Both these cities are comparatively near
the province OF Human, from which
province were the prime organizers in
the recent disturbances. Ichang was
the scene of a riot and massacre of
Christians during the late troubles. The
kilograms above referred to state that
great hostility is being shown toward
foreigners. and it is feared that further
trouble will follow. The British gun
boat Esk, three guns, is stationed at
Ichang, and the natives have shown a
menacing attitude toward that vessel.

The German Educational Bill Discussed
in the Prussian Diet
BERLIN. Jan. 29.-The sectarlan edu-
cational bill is under discussion IN the
lower house of the Prussian Diet, ana
mastery argum ents for and against
the measure are expected. Though
the bill is, of course, government
measure. it does not meet with unquall,.
fed sunport from all the members OF
the ministry. The bill is pet
scheme of the Emperor, but 1t
is certain to meet with deter
mined opposition. Chancellor Won
Caprivi to-day made a powerful
speech in favor of it and took occasion
to denounce the attitude OF the Ma
tional Liberals on the question. IN
the course of his speech he SAID that
if the members of that party continued
in their opposition to the ne me fsr,he,
proofs of its ability to swim against the
stream. The Chancellor added that it
was not the Liberals, but the
National Liberals, who had com
menced the conflict by protests
in which they adverted to the
contention that the bill would bring the
schools under the influence Of the
Jesuits. The Chancellor declared in
answer to this contention that the GO
eminent would steadfastly oppose
readmission of the Jesuits into G.r
many. Chancellor Won Caprivi con
GUIDED his speech by warning the OPP
ponents of the bill not to start

BOYD GETS THE OFFICE.
Delayed Supreme Court Disadvantages
Must Step Down.

Delayed Supreme Court Disadvantages
Must step Down.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 1.-The I'm
;ted States supreme court to-day de-
cided in favor of Boyd in the Nebraska
governorship case. All the justices ex-
cept Justice Field concurred in the de-
cislon of the court that Boyd was citi-
zen of the United States and entitled to
be governor of Nebraska. Justices Gray,
Harlan and Brown coucurred in that
part of the opinion which held that
Boyd was a citizen because from record
in the case it must be considered as es-
tablished that Boyd's father, hav-
ing exercised all rights of citi-
zensdip, had, in fact, in 1854 taken
out his final naturalization papers,
Notwithstanding he did not have
the record of such final naturalization
papers. The court also held that there
is such thing as collective naturaliza-
ton; that the enabling act of Nebraska
constituted naturalization of all the
inhabitants of Nebraska at the time
of the admission, except such as de-
sired the foreign rights, and
that Bovd's exercise of various Off
ces showed his intention to become a
citizen. The opinion is by Chief JUS
tice Fuller. 1t reversed the judgments
of the court of Nebraska and ordered
it to take further proceedings in con-
formitv with the decision that Boyd is a
citizen
Justices Harlan, Gray and Brown, al
though that fact was not stated in SO
many words by the Court, did not as
sent to the conclusion reached by the
other justices that Boyd was also cti-
zen on another ground, VIZ: That the
enabling act of Nebraska constituted "a
collective naturalization of all the in
habitants thereof at the time of it's adj
mission into the Union, except such as
announced that they intend to retain
their rights as citizens or subjects of a
foreign nation, and that the various
offices held by Boyd and the exercise
of the right of suffrage by him, with
the oaths of allegiance to the United
States he took at various times, shows
clearly that it was his intention to be-
come citizen of the United States and
that in fact he so considered himself.
A month ago it was announced that
the court had decided the case, and
that Boyd was declared entitled to the
office, now held by Thayer, the Repub-
lican contestant. It was said at the
time the news was first made public
that the decision would be rendered
the following day. The leak in the
clerks office, which permitted the pub
LEGATION of the courts findings before
the same were officially announced
caused the formal announcement of
the opinion to be withheld until to-
Ioy
