She sat down in silence, trembling in
every limb and feeling sure that the
questions she dreaded-to escape which
she had been about to fly from the only
shelter she could hope for that night
were about to be asked her.

"Monsieur is very good!" she said in
broken voice.
"But of course it will be necessary
that you should tell us little more
about yourself. We don't even know
your name"
"My name is Marie, monsieur
"Well, Marie, you have not, imagine,

were we'll to do people, who cultivated
their own land. We wanted for nothing.
My youth was a happy one, and my flu
ture promised to be SO, too, but that
promise was not realized. Alas, sir, you
see before you one of those wretched be-
ings whom misfortune and misery seem
ever to pursue!'
''Take courage, Marie" said M. Ger
menil compassionately. Better days are
no doubt in store for you, and you will
yet find a recompense and consolation for
all your troubles"
"Oh, sir! oh, sir!" she cried, stirred out
of her usual reserve and self restraint by
his tone and look Of compassion, ''there

Have you then been falsely accused of

You cannot" he said in tone Of

BY this time she had recovered her
composure and self control, and rising
to her feet again she turned her pale,
sad face toward him and said in a low,

There was d short pause, and then M.
Germenil said in a severe tone:
In that case there is nothing more to

GlVIN G OUT REPORTS.
New Departure of the Administration on
Departmental News.
Secretarfes' Reports Not to BE Given
sage - Holding Back News.

Although 1t may not be Intentional, the
fact remains that the present administra-
uon is gradually closing all the regular
channels of information concerning the
business of the various executive depart
ments. Heretofore newspaper men have re-
ceived every facility in the performance of
their duty of keeping the public informed of
the doings of the executive departments on
all questions affecting the general welfare
OF the country. Now, however, the work
OF obtaining information of even the most
ordinary routine character is accomplished
with as much difficulty formerly attend
ed the unraveling of a highly important
state secret. The natural result is that the
public is frequently kept in ignorance of
official actions that are of vital interest, and
the publication of which would be a benefit
to the administration. Their suppression is
possibly the result of an apprehension that
they might prove unpopular. Either that or
the officials are ashamed of their actions.
The latest innovation in this regard is in
connection with the publication of the an
nual reports of the heads of the executive
departments For many years past these
reports have been given out TO- publication
In advance of the Presidents annual mes
sage to Congress- The practice was based
on the well-grounded theory that they lost
their interest from a news standpoint after
the publication of the Presidents message,
which usually contains a complete epitome
of their contents, whereas if they were
made public in advance of the message,
they would secure good publication i'll all
the newspapers of the country, without in
the least detracting from the comments
thereon in the Presidents message. In this
way the public may get facts about the
business of the departments that they can
get in no other way.

that none of the reports should be made

LARGELY ATTENDED,.
The Annual Session of the Association
of Baptist Churches Closes.


The successful three days session of the
Columbia Association of Baptist Churches
at the Calvary Church. sth and II streets,
closed last evening with one of the largest
meetings of the entire series. The session
was devoted to the young people and was
in charge of the chairman of the young
peoples committee, MIR. NJ. NJ. Shand. A
half hour was devoted to brief talks from
the pastors and under the direction of Mr.
p s. Foster short talks were ELECTED from
all the pastors present. An address was
delivered by Rev. E. 7. Tomlinson of
Elizabeth, n. j., on the work of young peo-
pie, and the closing time was devoted to a
conservation meeting. After adopting reso-
lutions of thanks to the officers and to the
press, the association adjourned to meet
next year in the Second Church.
At the afternoon session the discussion of
the report on temperance was continued,
and the report, as printed In yesterdays
Star, was adopted, with an amendment Of
fered by Mr.. Clapp, protesting against our
government participating in the profits OF
the liuor traffic. The resolution was d.
rected TO be sent to Congress. The move
ment to have the international convention
of the Christian Endeavor Society held i'm
this city in 1896 was indorsed A resolution
was adopted approving the work which is
being done by the Central Union Mission.
A compliment was paid to the ladies of
the Calvary Baptist Church who have en-
tertained the delegates and the visitors at
luncheon during the sessions of the associa-
ton by a protest which was made at the
elaborate character of the luncheons pro-
vided at these annual gatherings, the ground
being taken that as the meetings were held
at the different churches a pace might be
set in this particular that 1t would be diff
ficult for some Of the weaker churches to
maintain.

plies for several days. When the train
reached this city on the return trip the
guard was reinforced by several deputies.
During the switching Cornelius Barry, a
height brakeman on the Lehigh, attempted
to leap on the platform of a passenger

refused him admittance and struggle en-
sued, in which Barry struck the deputy with
his fist. He was put off the train and after
ward arrested on charge of misdemeanor.
After Engineer COLDER had been hit with a
stone yesterday the guard was redoubled
and no further violence occurred.
The assault on Engineer COLDER has
frightened many from going to work.
