Liliuokalani or for the maintenance OF pro-
yisional government OF the Hawaiian Islands,
and that the naval force should be used in
the islands only for the protection of the
lives and property OF American citizens. He
asked that the resolution lie upon the table,
and that later he would ask for its reference
to the committee on foreign relations. The
resolution occasioned manifest exhibition
of interest, and doubtless will soon become
the subject Of discussion.
A bill, called up Ly Senator Pugh Of Ala
bamn, for the relief of certain aliens. who
had acquired property In the district, occa-
stoned much discussion, as 1t developed the
fact that aliens were incompetent to hold

The t,Co did not enter the house at once
"He's in it, too." muttered Simpson,
lounging back to the hotel. where he
kept the best watch he could from his
room, which gave him view of the doc
tors office. Nothing noteworthy was
observed, and night closed in with little
if any real progress in the remarkable
investigation he had undertaken.
The sagacious officer, however, had
crystallized theory which had been
gradually taking shape in his mind. He
had determined on what might be pro-
nounced a desperate venture.
As soon MS it was fairly dark he left
the hotel, first informing the landlord
that he was liable to be kept out until
late at night and possibly until morn
ing. He was told that the. negro boy
who slept in the barroom would admit
him at any hour and conduct him to his
room.
The night was dark. with a faint moon.
The Liyermore homestead, standing al
most beyond the limits of the village,
was shrouded in gloom except for the
dim light of an oil lamp burning just in
front of the entrance to the grounds. 1t
was no difficult matter for the detective
to steal in among the trees without be-
ing seen, He made himself certain ear
lier in the day that there was no dog
about the premises. SO he had nothing to
fear on that score.
He had secured position which gave
him view of one side and the front OF
the house, including the portion lit up by
the smoking lamp across the street.
Posting himself thus, he was prepared to
wait several hours If necessary-an Or
deal for which the successful detective
must always be ready.

The Mollie Gibson Mining Company passed
its January dividend for the fret time. J. J.
Hagerman, the president Of the company, has
issued the following circular to the stock
holders:
"At a meeting of the board Of directors Of
this company held on the 4th 1t was decided
to suspend dividends for the present. While
the company has about 100000 surplus in
It's treasury, the directors do not deem 1t

HE ID ONE OF THOSE SEPOYS.'
Tho old fashioned house that had been
the home of Miss Antoinette Livermore
for many years stood amid spacious
grounds, surrounded by dense shade
trees, which almost hid 1t from view
during spring and summer. With the
coming of autumn, when the limbs grad
ually lost their leaves, the antiquated
building, which had been famous one
sluring the early days of the century, and
standing as it did on elevated ground
rc:r the outskirts of the small town
formed one of the most conspicuous
Lad marks of Ellenville.

When, however, turing tho course OF
the day he receiv I'd the jubilant dispatch
from his assc c>ciate, he was SO certain Of
the nature of tho mistake made by him
that ne promptly responded with the
words given elsewhere. Wandering
aiI-dessly, as it seemed, through the
town, he managed to keep an eye upon
the movements of DR.. Maidhoff; but so
far as he perceived there was nothing
suspicious about them. He went and
came as his professional duties seemed
to require, for he was generally busy
man, most of his journeys being on foot,

Limits of the town.
Another and perhaps more interesting
individual was Miss Evelyn Glider, who,
'as he viewed it, shared the mysterious
secret with her family physician. So far
as Simpson could ascertain, she never
once left the big house which she had
shared with her aunt so long. The fe-
male servant came forth about the mid
die of the afternoon, bearing two letters
in her hand. One of these was taken to
the postoffice and the other left at DR..
Maidhoffs, who acted as If he was ex-
pecting it, for hardly had the woman
reached out her hand to ring the bell
when he stepped forth and took it from
her. He stood at the door while he has
tily read it, and nodding his head to sig
nifty thet it was all right disappeared
within his Office.
'srhat letter from Miss Glider is a
summons for him to call and see her this
evening on business connected with the
rajah's ruby" was the shrewd guess Of
the watcher, land must be on hand"
Simpson had not forgotten that there
was another individual in Ellenville who
must be interested to q certain extent in
this business. That was Arthur Fair
child, credited with being the accepted
lover of Miss Glider.
The detective framed an excuse for
calling at his Office, but disappoint-
ment awaited him. The lad there told
him the young lawyer was out Of town
and was not expected back for several
days.

/ A Modern Convenience.

On the Fourth of March, 1889, an enter
prising Yankee left Boston for New York,
8 carrying carpet bag of most goodly di-
mansions. The man was William F. Harm
den, and his carpet bag apparently con-
tanned only few packages Of money and
valuable papers consigned to New York
merchants. It had occurred to Harnden
that by saving business men the expense of
a special messenger for the transfer Of
each individuals packages, a paying occu-
patton might be worked up for himself.
The idea was so novel, however, that it
took long time for that generation to pat
ronize the new way Perhaps Harnden
thought the load was light, but now we can
see thattit contained not only the few pack
ages on his memorandum, but the whole
vast express system OF to-day, employing
an army of men, transporting millions Of
money and thousands Of tons of various
merchandise, and also doing banking bus
mess through their money orders. What
would our life be now, had we to return to
special messenger, or the unpaid service of
some neighbor on his travels? Can we not
justly call the express system modern
convenience? The development Of Harm
denis idea is astounding. And yet we must
recognize that without the anterior build
ing of railroads-such as the Burlington
syste i, linking to each other and the COM
mercial world hundreds of towns and cities,
of the great and popular western States
the scheme would have remained but little
more comprehensive than when first de-
vised. 1t is not for US to advise what ex-
comes to a railroad, you can never miss it
by insisting that the ticket agent must sell
J you a ticket by the Burlington route to any
of the larger cities, and towns of the coun-
try, or. you can write to WI C. KENYON.
