No Fever There

The Navy Department is informed that
the L. S. S. Ranger left San Jose de Guate-
mala last Friday for Amapala, Honduras.
The fact that this vessel continues on the
Central American station is the best proof
in the world that there is no fever aboard
her. The death of her medical officer &C.
CURED a month ago, ard he was replaced by
the surgeon OF the kearsarge up to the
time of the arrival of the regular relief 1t
Is said at the department that If there was
fever on board the Ranger as reported in
belated dispatches from San Francisco, she
would certainly have been ordered to a cool
er climate.

The Defendants Behavior.

After paying the closest attention to the
testimony of the plaintiff for while, the
defendant seemingly dismissed her and her
words from his mind, and gave himself up
to his correspondence, with which he busted
himself for some time That finished, he
again turned his attention to the woman
on the stand, and settling himself well back
in his chair, after drawing it close up to
the table before him, he riveted his eyes on
the plaintiff drinking in every word she
uttered, while he nervously toyed with a
rubber band.
And as he watched the woman on the
stand, he her break almost completely
down, as she told Mr.. Butterworth that rot
until life became dark and hopeless, not
until it seemed that death itself would be
preferable to life, did she realize the dis
grace, dishonor and degradation resulting
from her acquiescence with the wishes of
the defendant Tears flowed unchecked
down her cheeks, her lips quivered, and she
nervously clasped and unclasped her black
gloved hands she struggled on with her
answer. She soon recovered her composure
and her replies came fast and fully.
Miss Pollard resumed her place upon the
stand ready to proceed with the trying or
deal to which she had already been subject
ed for a day and a half. she retains her
composure and keeps herself in hand In a
manner that is amazing TO all spectators.

TOTAL APPROPRIATIONS.
A Slight Increase Over Those of the
First Session of the Last Congress.

The total appropriations of the present
session of Congress Will be approximately
S'0oOO.Oo0. This will exceed by a few
millions the appropriations of the first ses-
sion of the last Congress, and will disap-
point those who had hoped that the low
condition of the treasury funds would re-
suit i'm material reduction i'm appropria-
lions. No official summary has been made
by Chairman Sayers or the members of
the appropriation committee. but a COM
parison of the bills already passed or re-
ported, with those of the first session of the
last Congress. shows that the total of the
bills as they leave the House will be about
$3G6 Sil, d59. The Senate usually increases
the bills materially, last year securing in
creases reaching total of $5,sD.Un. 50 that
the aggregate for the present session is
expected to touch s310Uc0,000.

to pull herself together with somewhat of
a slight effort. Her fatigue seemed to cause
her to early become somewhat irritable
and her replies indicated clearly that her
remarkable self-compOSure was weakening
This slight loss of composure was most
noticeable in the, DIT times, angry replies
of Miss Pollard.
