There was a ring Of anguish in the
tremulous tones of the beautiful girl
as she uttered these words.
':An is over Mehetabel,'' the youth
replied in determined tones as he
brushed the dust from the elbow which
had been leaning on the mantelpiece.
"All is over," he repeated, but as he
gave utterance to these cruel words a
spasm passed across his face, and his
eyelids quivered with emotion, which,
man-like, he strove to conceal. She
drew a deep, tremulous sigh, the rosy
lips quivered, and two pearly tears
trembled on the long silken lashes.

that he was supera bundant in it; that

TelephotOgraphy.

Every one who is interested in pho
tographs of outdoor scenes-and who
is not?-must often have wished for
some satisfactory means for obtaining
larger pictures of distant, unattainable
objects than can be got with. an or
binary camera. The writer remembers
this with keen regret that the lack OF
such an instrument or device prevented
him from obtaining some most desira-
BILE pictures during a visit to the Vel
lowstone Park.
For instance, many mud swallows
build their nests under the projecting
Lodges of the Liberty Cap" at the
Mammoth Hot Springs, and sitting in
the open doors Of their habitations they
gaze down upon the spectator beneath
with the indifference Of conscious Sc
curity With camera that combined
the powers Of a telescope and a photo
graphic plate a most pleasing picture
Of these birds, showing them appar-s
emily close at hand, could have been
made. Il. t35;
Such cameras have been devised, but
it is only quite recently that they have
assumed a fairly satisfactory form. The
desired result is brought about by
means of peculiarly constructed lens,
consisting Of a positive lens in front
and q negative lens of much shorter
focal strength in the rear. This gives
an image several times as large as that
obtained with an ordinary camera
With such an instrument photographs
OF birds and other animals which can
not be approached closely can be made,
showing them in their natural attitudes

BAIHuT BREAKS DOWN.
He confesses His Guilt and Pleads for
Mercy.


Paris. March 9.-Interest in the Pan
anna trial is increasing and the greatest
curiosity is shown as to the coming de-
velopments. Baihuk was called. He
showed disposition at first to throw
the blame upon Blondon, who acted as
a go-between in the negotiations. Bal
hut said:
II acted at the instigation Of Blondon

wished to restore the money / received
but feared thereby to accuse myself"
Up to this moment Baihut had spok-
en- clearly and with apparent self con-
troll but at this point he broke down
and with a pitiful expression Of sorrow
and despair, exclaimed in broken
voice:
II acknowledge having been led
astray, am guilty. My words express
my grief and repentance. feel that
do not yet understand how could have
fallen so low. ask pardon Of my coun-
try whose good name, have perhaps,
sullied."
There was a decided stir In the court
room when Baihut began his pitiful
avowal of guilt, and this was increased
to a sensation as he closed.

And where the finest girls are found,
A place that knows no cold or heat
And where the climate can't be beat,
Where epidemics are unknown
And courtesy is strangers shown,
Where the harbor is wide and deep,
And Herman Wise sells clothing cheap,
Where fair play rules tween man and man,
And everyone does all he can;
There's no other place meath the sun
Such as Astoria, Oregon"

Chicago, March "a special from

The first bloodshed occurred this

drive off settler named Henderson.
The Indians congregated and sent Lit
tie Face forward to tell Henderson that
If he stayed on the place twenty-four
hours he would be killed. Henderson
said helwould not move and Little Face
whistled and a gang of Indians poured
out of the woods. At the same time
Little Face reached for his gun, but
Henderson was too quick for him and
shot him through the heart. With a
yell, the other Indians disappeared in
the woods. The Crows are preparing
for actual warfare.

LILILUKALINTS ADDRESS.

of the Case.


San Francisco, March 9.-The Exam
iner this morning publishes lengthy
statement by Lililukalini, the deposed
queen of Hawaii, which was received
here from Honolulu by steamer yes
terday. 1t is the first statement. she has
made for publication since the over
throw of the monarchy, and is ad-
dressed to the American people. One OF
the most striking features of the ex-
queens statement is the reference 1t
makes to United States Minister Stew
ems. The queen says:
1.-THE position taken by the present
American minister has been constantly
unfriendly and quarrelsome. The ad-
dress he delivered to me on my acces-
sion would lead me to suppose that he
considered an American protectorate

lecture and not an expression Of sea-
sonable sentiments. Again, In OCTOBER
last Mr.. Stevens sought an audience OF
me. No sooner had 1 bowed to him,
than he gave signs Of laboring under
strong excitement. He read a para
graph from the Daily Bulletin, the
Honolulu evening paper, which he said
was an infraction of his rights which
he said was an infraction of his rights
as the duly accredited representative
of a foreign power. The American min
lister declared he would hold the Haw-
allan government responsible for the
article complained Of The Bulletin was
not directly or indirectly controlled by
the government. My ministers ex-
planned this position Of the case to the
American minister who declined TO be
pacified. He was evidently bent on
picking a quarrel. His manifest aim
was to embarrass me. In the midst OF
the trial of number of persons fol

liyered his Decoration Day" speech
He ridiculed the political trials and
drew comparisons most unfavorable
