On this most important occasion.
After Tuning and fretting 70. at least q

down the principal greenhouse, gathering
together the plants he intended to take tor

day. and had gone 20 work in some of the
other houses. So he hastily ran out to
look for him. Nathan opened the doors

called, but the man was not in either of
them then he ran over TO the violet house,
which was newer than the other buildings
and at some distance from them. Mr..
Rinkle did not find there the man he
wanted TO see. but he found something he
did not want TO see, and that was that
number of the violet beds we're very much
in need of water.

had found that its clay sides and bottom
We're impervious to water, and it made a
very good cistern as it was, for the pres
cnt he had postponed finishing it. As the
cistern was yet uncovered no pump had
been placed in it and Gottlieb had found
j: easy enough to draw water from it by
means of bucket and rope. So now, as
he had to take Gottlieb's place, Nathan
RinkIe crcuched down to the edge of the
cistern and lowered the bucket. Gottlieb
Stein was heavy-footed man and had
crouched at that SPOT so often that the
earth was little depressed and inclined
cisternward, and Mr.. Rinkle's overshoes
being wet with the morning dew, were
slippery. In consequence, before the
bucket was halfway down Mr.. Rinkle
slipped into the cistern himself and ar
rived with a splash a. the bottom.
Plunged thus suddenly into darkness and
water, the good gardeners surprise almost
took away his breath. Fortunately he

Her fork now brought up large raisin.
and he shield it for moment, thinking it
might be better to cut it in half before
putting it back. Mr.. Rinkle was very
fond of raisins, but to agree with him
they ought to be thoroughly cooked.
Nicely Lent was q woman who had tender
sympathies and pleasant memories, and
as she sat with the raisin still upon her
fork she thought Of other birthdays that
had been so different from this. She did
not mind on ordinary mornings being left
alone in the house, but this morning it
was indeed depressing to be there without
a soul to speak to her. She could i'm
agine Mr.. Rinkie in all the brightness
could hear the delighted admiration
provoked by the Reverend Ezekiel
Crump, in whom she felt almost ma
ternal pride; and she thought, with
pang, that perhaps the Widow Sharp was
at that moment making herself officious
by diiating to the bystanders upon the
merits OF this grand peiargonium. And
here was she, sitting alone in her kitchen.
As she, thought thus large tear t-ickled
down her cheek and dropped upon the
raisin.
This aroused her to q sense of the pres
ent. IL would not do to put raisin that
had been cried upon into pie, and she
was about to throw It away. But she hes
itated; that tear had been evoked by sweet
memories OF the past; it seemed like a sac
rilege TO throw it away. She took the
raisin gently from the tloor, and going to
the window made little hole in the
mould OF pot OF mignonette which Mr..
Rinkle had given her. and buried the
raisin therein. 1t suited her to think that
the little rootiets of the mignonette would
take up that tear. She put her nose to the
delicate blossoms Of the plant and then
she returned to her work.

before had been Gottieb STEMS birthday,

A CHICAGO WIND.
Tall Building at the Corner of Haisted
and Pierce Streets Wrecked.

Tall Building at the Corner of Haisted
and Pierce Streets Wrecked.
CHICAGO, Ill, April AT about $50
o'clock this evening the sky, which had
been threatening all the afternoon, be-
came black as night, and in another
minute terrible cIoudburst occurred.
The wind blew at a hurricane rate, and
drove the rainin sheets along the streets,
sweeping every movable object before
it. The wind was of cyclone force, and
at the corner of Halsted and Pierce
streets tore down a house and killed
three people. Serious damage is re-
ported in various parts Of the city,
but it is not yet known If 9TH
er casualties have occurred. The
building at Halsted and Pierce
streets was a seven-stOry brick
structure. 1t was surrounded by one
and two-story frame and brick buildings,
the homes of humble laborers, and
out the lives Of three unfortunates and
fatally or seriously injured many 9TH
erS.
The ruined building, scarcely con-
pleted, was said by many to have been
improperly and poorly constructed, but
Fire Marshal SWeenie, who had in
spected it at various tunes during its
erection, states these remarks to be
false The fact that the building
was new and that the mortar was
scarcely dry is sufficient reason for its
collapse, he says, when such high
wind struck it. The loss from the de-
struction Of the building is about $780,
600. The losses sustained by the crush
ing of the smaller buildings are not yet
estimated.
During the storm a two-story frame
building on Prairie Avenue just COM
pleted and occupied was demolished and
another two-story frame structure on
Nebraska Street was torn TO pieces, but
no one was injured. Reports are COM
ing in from various sections Of the city
Of trees, telephone and electric light
poles and outbuildings blown down and
houses unroofed. A large number Of
residences and small business houses in
course of erection were moved from
foundations, and in many instances
RACED to the ground. The total loss
from this seemingly wholesale destruc-
ton cannot be estimated tonight, but
will aggregate hundreds of thousands
of dollars

CHINA MAY RETALIATE.

Petitioned to Discriminate Against This
Country in Commercial Matters.
New York, April 2.-The Evening
Telegram states that Chinese residents
of this country have for some time been
circulating petition among their coun-
trymen, praying the Emperor OF
the Flowery Kingdom the re-
taliate on America, and that the
petition has already received 100000
signatures. The petition states that the
Celestials resident IN this country fear
even greater hardships in the future
than those they now endorse, and &C.
cuses us of breaking faith. The blame
for this is laid on immigrants from Eu-
rope. The Telegram prints a number
of interviews with the leading Chinese
merchants II this city, and the tone
taken by these merchants indicates
that they consider the situation as very
serious. Letters have Keen received in
this country from foreigners in business
in China and from Chinese Off
cials high in authority, concern
ing the reception of this petitiCu.
In one letter the writer says that not
alone will Obstruction take place re-
garding the residence and soiourn
of Americans in China, but special dis
examination will be made in the matter
of the import duties on all articles of
American produce or manufacture in
troduced into the Celestial Empire, as

ANOTHER LONDON SCANDAL.
High Society Woman Involved in the
Theft of Piece of JeweIry.

High Society Woman Involved in the
Theft of r Piece of JeweIry.
LONDON, April 1.-Society in London
has hardly recovered from the excite
ment attending the trial, conviction and
nine months sentence of Mrs. Florence.
Ethel Osborne for the theft of the fam
Gus pearls belonging to one of her init
mate friends, Mrs. Hargreavee, and for
subsequent perjury in attempting to
clear her reputation by means OF
o libel suit, when it is thrown into an
other spasm by rumor that another
"pearl case" Is threatened. The mat
ter Is being widely discussed and great
curiosity Is expressed as to who
are the interested persons. The facts
of the case, 30 far as known, are that
a well-known society lady, the wife OF
an officer IN the army, some time ago
missed very valuable brooch. Just
prior to missing the piece of jewelry the
lady was packing trunk or hand bag,
and she thought for time the brooch
had been misplaced. 1t never entered
her head that it had been stolen.
Some time later, however, the lady was
visiting iewelry store and was greatly
surprised to see displayed for sale a
brooch that resembled hers in
every respect. one asked TO be allowed
to examine the brooch and found be-
yond a doubt that it was the one she
had lost. She asked the jewelers. where
they got it and they told her it had
been sold to them by certain lady,
mentioning the name of her
bosom friend. Then the officers
wife recalled that this friend
helped her at the time she was doing
her packing, and she was left no other
option than to believe that her friend
had stolen the brooch. The officers
wife was naturally indignant that
her in such manner, and upon
returning home at once wrote, telling
her Of her discovery and charging her
with theft. The result was that her
bosom friend communicated with her
solicitors, laid her letter before them,
and instructed them to bring an action
against her accuser. The outcome OF
the case is eagerly looked forward to.
