SEARCH FOR A WIFE.
Romantic Finding of the Glorious Queen
OF Her Sex.

Romantic Finding OF the Glorious Queen
of Her Sex.
He made up his mind he ought ia
marry, and then started out on still
hunt for good sensible girl for wife.
He saw a young lady on crowded
street car who was not occupying two
seats, and he thought: This is prom
Using. I'll keep my eye on her"
Ill.
He met a young lady on the street
who wore gown that did not trail in
the dirt, and he thought: "She's worth
watching. She has some sense"
".
He was introduced to a young lady at
O ball who was not overdressed, and yet
who wore a waist that was visible to
the naked eye, and he thought: taste,
modesty and sense. That's good COM
bination.''
He sat behind young lady in a the
alter, who took off her hat and let him
get glimpse of the stage, and he
thought: consideration for others is
great point. must find out who she
is"
He stood behind a young lady in a
dry goods store who did not paw over
everything in sight and keep one clerk
busy for an hour that she might buy a
spool of thread, and he thought: ''She
must really be treasure"
VII.
He was accidentally pushed against
young lady in a crowded corridor,
who did not stare at him and mutter,
awkward brute when he apologized,
and he thought: ''There's gem"
He noticed young lady at a street
corner in the business part of the city
waiting for a car, and he could hardly
believe his eye. He boarded the same
car and followed her to her home.
Three days later, after he had secured
an introduction, he said:
"a few days ago l saw you at a
crowded street corner waiting for
car"
les, she SAID, IN some surprise.
s'You stood at one side of the cross
ing where you would not be in the way
of people who wished to cross the
street,
II always do that" she said.
"Queen of your sex!" he exclaimed
impetuously. Beacon light in the
darkness of woman's ways! Shining
star of progress toward better con-
ception of the courtesies of city life!
Will you be mine?'
The answer is of no particular conse-
quence in this tale. She could have
him if she wished, and that is the main
point it is intended to bring out.-Chi,

THE ARMoR FRAUDS INQUIRY.
Prof. Alger, of the Bureau of Ordnance,
on the Witness Stand.

Prof. Alger, of the Bureau of Ordnance,
on the Witness Stand.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-The investi-
cation into the alleged armor frauds
was continued yesterday. Prof. Alger,
of the bureau of ordnance, testified as
to the part he had taken in the inves-
tigation ordered by Secretary Herbert.
He reviewed generally the work of the
the same matters
covered by the testimony of Capt.
Sampson, also member of the board.
Replying to question by Mr.. Dolli-
yer he said that it was impossible to
say from physical test what plate
was of the opinion that the tests made
by the investigating board had abso-
lutely established the charges made.
The second charge made was that the
frauds extended over a longer period
of time and were more extensive than
at first supposed. He was satisfied
from the tests made by the board that
this was true. They probably existed
from the beginning of the manufacture
of plates by the Carnegie Co.
Prof. Alger expressed the opinion
that there were probably plates among
those accepted that would not pass the
ballistic test. He reached this conclu-
sion from the careless manner in which
the plates were made, and from the re-
treatment of plates selected for bal
listic test. He could not specify any
defective plate. He was asked a num-
Der of questions as to what led the
president to reduce the penalties rec
commended to be levied on the Car
negies by the investigating board, but
was una BILE to answer these questions.

THE FLOOD AT PUEBLO.

| Second ClOud-Burst Swells the Assua-
cling Waters, Causing New Chapter of
Disaster-The List of Casualties and the
Volume of Disaster Steadily Growing
with the Advancing Torrent-A Midnight
Alarm.
PUEBLO, Col. May 31.-At noon the
Hood of early this morning began to
abate. The rain ceased and the sun
| came out. AS the water went down
the great damage was apparent. The
loss will be over $500, 900. The railroad
bridges are either down or very badly
damaged. No trains can possibly be
run in any direction for at least forty
eight hours. Two bodies have been re-
| covered. One is that of an unknown
| man, whose body was found three miles
below the city.
Joseph Coppa, smelter employee,
while trying to cross the Santa Fe ave-
nue. bridge at Front street lost his
bearings and fell into hole and was
drowned. He leaves widow and three
children.
Mrs. Williamson, widow, living be-
side the 1evee, where the first break
occurred, is missing. Her two small
children are safe at the police station.
J. Vanderver, a prominent man of
this city, who was last seen crossing
Court street when the rush Of waters
came, has not been seen Or heard of
since.
John Davis, while walking along
South Main avenue in about six inches
of water at 5 o'clock this morning, fell
into a coal hole which was full of
water and was drowned.
Two Cinnamon who had truck gar
den below the city, are believed to have
been swept away.
The flood washed away ninety houses
in the Grove, settlement in the south
east part of the city. Some of the
dwellings were carried a mile down
the stream.
The loss to stock is tremendous. It
will cost the city of Pueblo over $780,
600 to repair the levee, bridges and
streets. The wholesale commission
houses and large dry goods stores,
which are situated in the flooded dis
trict are losers of more than half of
their stock. The electric railway
power house was flooded and the motors
in thirtytwo cars destroyed. 1t will
be over a week before traffic can be
resumed.
The suffering of the poor people who
were driven out by the flood is intense.
1t is estimated that 1900 people are
rendered homeless.

The SUGAR INQUIRY.

All the Members of the Finance Committee
Examined-An Enter Categorical Denials
of the Statements Made In the Letters Of
Correspondents Edwards-The Secretary
OF the Treasury Also Denies.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-The commit
tee conducting the sugar trust inquiry
yesterday completed the examination
of all the members of the finance COM
mittee, those heard being Senator Nc
PhersOn, Harris and Mills. Each of
these gentlemen denied categorica1ly
the statements made in the letter Of
Mr.. Edwards, to the effect that the Sec
rotary of the treasury had appeared
before the committee and stated that
the Sugar trust had made large con-
and must be taken care of in the ar
rangement of the duty on sugar, and
also that he prepared a schedule giving
high rates to this article and demanded
that it be adopted. Later in the after
noon Mr.. Carlisle himself appeared and
made a similar statement. Mr.. Carlisle
told the committee that he had drawn
a proposed schedule for the committee
while he was at one of the meetings Of
the democratic members, but that it
was not adopted. In doing this he said
he acted in an advisory capacity, and
gave the committee facts and data such
as they asked for. and which, as the
secretary of the treasury, they would
naturally expect to receive from him.
Tomorrow the committee will have
before it Mr.. John Dewitt Warner, a
member of the house of representatives
from New York. 1t has also issued
summons for Mr.. CASTOR, the Pennsyl-
vania wire manufacturer, who is said
to have overheard the conversation al
legged to have taken place in a room at
the Arlington hotel between Sugar
trust magnates and certain senators
regarding the duty that should be put
upon sugar.
Yesterday afternoon the vice-presi-
dent sent by special messenger to the
district attorney his certifcation of the
report of the committee in regard to
the refusal of the witnesses Shriver
and Edwards. 1t reads:

United States, and president of the senate, in

tinent to the question under inquiry, as mani

Improving slowly at all points DUR
,n1 the last three centuries, fencing
has become far more general in France.
Belgium, Switzerland, Italy, Spain and
parts OF Germany than ever before.
and is making rapid strides in the
United States. Since the foundation
OF the fencers' club in New York
twelve years ago the number of in
structors has rapidly increased; the
overflow has supplied Chicago, Boston
and New Haven. Clubs have been
formed of late in Boston, Montreal,
New Orleans and Salt Lake City to
practice fencing as q game. A little
monthly called Swordsman is the or
gan for the Amateur Fencing league
of America. Fencing among under
graduates is no longer confined to the
military and naval schools.-Harper's

A Note of Warning.

DENVER, Col, May 81, II p. m.-The
whistle at the Denver paper mills south
of the city began to blow at II o'clock
tonight to warn the residents in the
Platte River bottoms to seek higher
ground The river has been steadily
rising at the rate of from four to six
inches an hour all day and at this hour
it is outside it's banks until the water
is backed up to the Rio Grande shops.

The thousand Coxeyites in River
Front park have been warned out. AT
Jerome Park the residents sought ref
uge in a school house, which is now
partially submerged. If the water
rises much higher they will have too
swim out.

A Later Account.

Pueblo, Col, May 31.-The cloud
burst which last night sent a vast tor
rent of water down the valley and into
this city. caused many deaths and rend-
cred widespread destruction. The work
of rescue had just begun to-day, when
a recurrence of the flood caused sus-
pension of the work, and it is feared
tonight that many bodies which were
washed away and under debris will
never be recovered. The list of the
dead and missing, compiled shortly be-
fore midnight, is as follows:
DEAD.
Dave Rafferty,, steel worker, SIS years,
single: body at morgue.
Joseph Coopa, smelter employee, 80
years. married. body at morgue.
One body reported one mile above
town and another two miles below;
not yet recovered.
Ho? Lee. Chinese laundryman said
to have been drowned in the cellar of
his laundry, but search did not reveal
the body.
MISSING.
J. Vandever, j. Rush, Harry Burch,
Mrs. Williamson, Josie Hart, an infant,
and five others reported by different
families.
A company of California Coxeyites,
numbering sixty, who came in from the
west yesterday morning, and were
camped on the river bank, report five
of their comrades missing.
Grave fears are expressed for twelve
families of squatters on an island near
the river.
The catastrophe, similar to the Johns
town horror of four years ago and re-
markable from having occurred on the
same day, has utterly Frustrated the
citizens and paralyzed business. The
property loss will be about 5000, 900.
Tonight both the Arkansas and Foun-
tain rivers are rising rapidly and rain
is falling in torrents. But for light
here and there, the city would be in
darkness and many fear repetition of
last nights horror.
Seventy-fiye feet of the east approach
to the Fourth-street viaduct caved in
shortly after midnight. The west
bank of the. Arkansas at this point is
being rapidly eaten away by the angry
waters. The 100 men who were put
there this evening to fortify the bank
have thus far proved unequal to the
task.
The rain has partially ceased, and
while the Fountain is still rising the
rate is not So rapid as two hours ago.

A LONG SNAKE.

As q Repository for Hens Eggs It Was
Without Rival.
speaking of snakes, did you ever see
one swallow live fish," The speaker
was one of a party Of gentlemen who
had just finished a bottle of wine. As
none of them had ever seen the per
formance referred to, he. proceeded to
describe it in graphic style: When he
got through Judge s.. said: 'When I
lived in Texas we used to, depend main
ly on snakes for our eggs" ''What,"
said an elderly gentlemen who was a
little hard of hearing, Ibid you eat
snakes eggs2"
''Not bya jugful," said the judge, tsbut
we found hens eggs in the snakes. You
see, snakes ane very fond of eggs, and
down there they make business
of hunting for eggs. They
would go from one nest to an
other, swallowing egg after egg until
they could hold no more, and when
they were, too full to move they were
easily captured. AS they swallowed
the eggs whole it would be good
while before the contents would be
hurt, and If the snake was killed before
the she'll was digested. the egg would
be all right. I once took one hundred
and ninety-three hens eggs from one
snake As knew the snake had stolen
the eggs I had no compunction about
stealing from him."
''Did you eat them alp" asked the.
elderly gentleman.

''Wene the eggs in a pile wien you:

gentleman, as if in search of truth.
NO" replied the judge, ''they were:

But suggested the elderly gentle
man, lone hundred and ninety-three
eggs lying in a row lengthways wouldl
