He was sitting on the sidewalk tell

admiring crowd of hotel loungers.

'But didn't burglars get into your

asked one OF the crowd; 'how about

lowed.
olga" he said, burning desire
rising in his heart to speak kindly
words to this woman whose love he
was bound to reject She interrupted
him.
"Say nothing to me except a last
good-by" @
Sobs burst from her throat in wild
torrent. Austen stood with the paper
she had given him still in his hand,
looking, as he felt, terribly agitated.
The memory of those few months he
had passed in Russia as an attache to
the British embassy returned to him.
He remembered the ambassadors ball,
at which he first met Olga Dobrouloff.
He had fallen in love with the sur
passingly beautiful girl at first sight
or at least he believed it was love at
that time.
Introduced to her father-her only
living relative - the young English
man eventually became the recipient
of Paul Dobrouloff's views concerning
his country but it was not until Aus
ten had strongly expressed his own
opinion regarding the Russian system
of government, with all its attendant
evils, that Olga's father boldly avowed
himself nihilist. Austen applauded
the aims of the society and was at
length induced to become one of the
brotherhood, taking the oath to aid
them in their secret war against tyr
amy
Shortly after this the death of a
near relative called him home, and
he had been in England but little
time when the conviction grew upon
him that his love for Olga, which he
had thought so all pervading, was
dead. He wrote to her to this effect,
but received no reply. Perhaps his
letter had miscarried. Having no de-
sire to return to Russia. he resigned
his post there, and, having a small
competency, devoted himself to litera-
ture with fair success. Indeed, only
two days previous to Olga Dobroulotf's s
visit play of his had been produced
and well received by the critics.
The silence of the room was broken
only by the ticking of the clock and
the sobs of the l1neeling woman. The
latter grew fainter after awhile, and
Austen was thinking he might ap-
proach and offer some words of COM
fort, when, with a quick movement.
Olga rose to her feet. Her eyes were
swollen with weeping, but the express
sion of her face was calm.

man in tone of CONSERVATION.

years that you fail to recognize me,

smile at his start of surprise and sudden

face. "Cecfl Austen, All, but you are

calm,

She handed him a letter, which he
hesitated at first to open.
Breaking the seal at length, he cast
his eyes over the communication which
! he drew from the envelope. One
glance was sufficient to cause his hand
to tremble so violently as to rustic the
paper it held. His pallor deepened
for moment. Then his face flushed
and a disdainful look came into his
eyes.
Take this back to those who sent
you to me-" he said, "and say l have
not held myself subject to their orders

In 1886, when he was 90 years
old, Dean Swift was disabled by fre-
uuent attacks of deafness and vertigo.
His infirmities rapidly increased, and
in 1740 oft-repeated fits of passion
ended in violent mania. This con-
tinued for two years, when it left him,
and the last three years of his life
were spent in speechless torpor. For
many years he seemed to have antici-
pated madness. Once when walking
with friends he Jagged behind, and
when they returned in search of him

1t VIII Perhaps Put Stop to Prize
Fighting at New Orleans.
New ORLEANS, Dec. 16.-James Barry
left this morning for home much disap-
pointed, and says he will pay no attention
to Connors in the future. Tommy Ryan
also departed. Lavigne is detained by
the police. AS soon as he can get awav.
he will go home and rest three months.
He will not retire from the ring, but will
try for a match with Johnson of Mime
apolis.
Bowen's funeral will take place this
morning. The Grand Jury will begin an
investigation at the same time, and Tx
the blame for the death.
Governor Foster was seen this evening
and asked for an expression of his opin-
ion OF the so-called glove contests in the
light of the tragic outcome OF the La
vlgne- Bowen fight. The Governor eX-
pressed himself as fairly opposed to such
exhibitions. He said:
Il have always been very positive and
emphatic i'll my opposition to the glove
contests as carried on at New Orleans by
professional prize lighters. / regard it as
brutal exhibition, tending to demoral-
iZe public sentiment and in no wise cal
culated to elevate the tone of the public
morals in the community. When the
effort was made to have the COrbett-
Mitchell fight take place in New Orleans
i determined to exhaust all the power of
the State TO prevent 1t and so declared at
the time. The unfortunate termination
of the Lavigne-Bowen contest accentu-
ates the importance of prohibiting any
such further exhibitions"

treatment of the illustrious abolitionst
by certain newspapers Oh the occasion
OF his recent marriage to his l5-vear-old
ward. Senator Hodges editorially re-
viewed General Clay's wonderful career

days of the Roman Empire he would
have passed on TO history as the noblest
Roman of them all.'
General Clay says: SIN marrying a

The disparity of ages is our own busi-

the physical as well as the moral laws of
the nation places me beyond the caviI of
inferior souls who crlticise me. After
all, love and sensualism or passion are as
far apart as night and day. Passion pun

FORT SCOTT (Kan.), Dec. 16.-The res
idents of Bronson and vicinity, few
miles west of this city, are wrought up
over the fact that number of their citi-
Zens have been swindled out of cash,
stock and property to the extent OF at
least $4,000 by three sharpers who pro-
fessed to be the inventors of a washing
compound for which they claimed won-

They came to Bronson about two
months ago and claimed to be brothers.

Rock. After remaining in the little CITY
several days the men rented an Office and
soon became acquainted with the leading
business men and citizens of the httle
place. They explained the merits of
their mysterious washing compound
and soon succeeded in working up a
great interest in the new fluid.
Bankers, farmers, merchants and me
chanics all caught the money-making
fever, and all wanted to purchase terri
tory i'll which to sell the labor-saying
prepaI alton, and soon contracts were be-
ing closed in all parts of the city and the
closely surrounding country. Many
prominent business men and other repu-
liable citizens and farmers secured terri
tory paying for ii in cash and mortgages
on their farm property.
The sharpers were very accommodate
ing and were willing to take any kind of
property in exchange for their terri
torial rights. For the State OF Iowa they
secured from bank cashier several
blooded horses and jacks, among which

citizens for various sums ranging from

swindlers gathered together their prop

first mortgages on some OF the best
farms in the country to the extent of

went into the private office we found
huntington lying on the floor, with blood
streaming from wound in the back OF

ing from the effects of his deadly aim.
I'VE have always considered John an
honest young man, and if there was any
weak point in his character it was little
tendency to extravaganza. OF course
the amount he was in the habit of spend
ing would not have been eXtravagant to

Hayden, IN conversation about the
matter, said: "We had only been talk
ing few minutes, and no accusation had
as yet been made. But the questions we
had been asking were very pointed, and
were easily taken by MIN as leading up
to direct charge of the theft. At times
he had talked loudly and in a somewhat
excited manner, but just before the shoot
ing he cooled down, and we had not the
slightest intimation OF what he was
about to do. He got up without any
show OF anger, and, 2ulling a revolver,
commenced firing, irst at Cromwell,
then at me. We had no weapons and
were not prepared to defend ourselves,

doing so had we been armed, the shoot
ing had been done so rapidly and it was

DIsGRACEFUL POLITICS.
Gangs of Toughs Hired to Do Dirt
Election Work at savannah Ca

Gangs of Toughs Hired to Do Dirty
Election Work at Savannah. Ga.
SAVANNAH (Ga.), Dec. 16.-The most
unique, most disorderly, and generally
accepted as the most disgraceful period
of politics in history, has come to
breathing pause. Two factional Demo-
cratic candidates are in the field for the
Mayoralty, the election taking place in
January.
Under the first use of the Australian
ballot system here no one can vote who
has not paid all the taxes, including those
OF this year, and registered. This pro-
vision led to a wild scramble at first, and
then to pitched battles daily between
large forces for positions in line at the
lax Collectors offices. The Collector
could only issue about two hundred
receipts day, and as the registration
closed Saturday, it was inevitable that
many citizens would be shut out from
voting.
The two factions hired two gangs OF
toughs, each numbering about one hum
dred, and including the most desperate
whites and negroes In the city. These
men were paid from So to $40 day. Each
was given list of six names, the largest
number the Collector would accept taxes
Tor from one person, and the money 10
pay their taxes. Each day for ten days
past the gangs have slugged each other in
front OF and inside the Courthouse, hun
dreds of citizens gathering from all
parts of the city daily to witness the big
mills. For two weeks at least no citizen
has paid taxes for himself, all intrusting
their names and money to the hired help
ers. At times nearly the entire police
force of the city had TO be called to help
keep order, and for a week the presence
of about forty policemen has been con-
stantly required at the Tax Collectors
The armies of helpers were fed at the
rival headquarters. where many of them
remained all night, going out each morn
ing to resume the battle at the court
house, where beer, whisky. coffee and
sandwiches were given them. Two or
three days ago number of workm
skipped with their lists and money, dis
franchlslng many citizens. 1t is calcu-
lated that the cost of keeping up the two
armies. which in the last few days have
been increased to about 800, to fight for
poll tax receipts was over $4,000. They
will disband early this morning.
The next Legislature will be appealed
to to amend the law so as to prevent any
repetition of these scenes.

AUCKLAND, Dec. 16.-Advces from

account of his travels in California. but

EMBARGO ON OUR PRODUCTS.

If Continued Further by Germany the
Administration May Reraliate.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-1n view of the
disinclination Of Congress to take I'D the
sugar schedules of the Tariff Act, and the
consequent improbability of any action
such as recommended by the President
looking to the repeal of the duty of one
tenth OF one per cent. on sugar produced
under the bounty system, the future
action OF the German Government is
being awaited with some apprehension
here.
The speech of the German Chancellor
in the Reichstag, i'll which he made a
strong point OF the discrimination i'm
posed by the United States towards Ger
man sugar, is believed to indicate a
strengthening OF the policy which tha.
Government had adopted directly to the
exclusion or severe restriction upon
American products sought to be imported
into Germany.
At present Mr.. RunyoH, our Minister
to Berlin, is working hard to secure an
amelIoratlon OF the stringent order of
exclusion in the case of American cattle,
and Secretary Gresham is in almost daily
consultation with the German Minister
here upon the same subject. Up to this
time no appreciabie degree of success has
attended these efforts OF our Government,
the character of the negotiations appear
ing to indicate purpose on the part of
the German Government of procrastinat-
ing until Congress decisively announces
its intention in the matter of the sugar
duty. AS long as these conditions re-
main our Government is likely to wait
patiently, but should there be any fresh
attacks by the Germans upon American
interests, there is good reason to believe
