For one moment he paused; then the
French sent in heavy volley, and Ru-

In a moment she was on her knees by his
side, his head pillowed ON her lap, cover
ing his face with kisses, while shot and
shell whistled and screamed around them.
Rudolph, Rudolph, speak to mel'' she

a strange light came into them as they
met those of Louise.
''Louisel' he family murmured.
Then she bent down and kissed his lips,
whispering, 1T was my brother you saw,

A bright smile passed across the face of
the dying soldier, and with the name of
his beloved on his lips he expired in her
arms. Then came cruel volley, the bull
lets hurtling up the narrow street. There
was a wild scream, and Louise, shot
through the heart fell forward on her
lovers body. Their marriage was in
heaven.
1t was O beautiful summers eve. The
glow of a rosy sunset streaks the western
heaven, lighting up the tombstones in the
churchyard of Amiens. The war is over.
France, torn and trampled on, is reviving,
but the dirge of the dead is still heard in
the land. An old man. tottering and stoop-

picking his way among the crowded tomb

NEW YEARS AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
An Occasion of Great Pomp and splendor
The President,s Callers

An Occasion of Great Pomp and splendor.
The Presidents Callers.
The favored few who are permitted to
enter the White House on New Years day
witness remarkable scenes which are with
out parallel in the world. The decorations
are elaborate; the toilets of the ladies
are brilliant and wonderful to behold; the
| uniforms of the diplomats are indescriba-
BILE for gorgeousness, not to say garish
ness. But the crowd outside can see them
all as they enter. and the strains of music
by the Marine band are waited across the
wide lawns.
The officers of the army and navy march
from the state, war and navy department
buildings, LAD in all the panoply OF war,
with clicking spurs and clanking swords.
Tho robed justices and bedecked diplomats
como in carriages, but the people who line
the pavements and press their noses
through the iron fences can see and hear
everything. 1t is better, of course, to be on
the inside, where there are light, warmth
and good cheer, but the people can see
enough to satisfy them anyway, and not
less than 10, 600 of them will gather to OBJ
serve the greatness and splendor of the
New Years reception from afar.
When the officers of the army and navy
appear, there will be in their lines only
ono of the characters of the late civil war
Major General Schodeld, commanding the
army. Sherman, Sheridan, Hancock,
Wright, Porter Farragut, Foote and other
military and naval heroes used to attend
these receptions, but they have marched
over the brow of the hill of time and are
resting under the shadows of the trees Of
eternity They have attended the recep-
ton of the grand army on the other shore
and in the palaces of the land of the leal.
Well, after it is all over the president
will have stood in one position for about
two hours and will have taken the hands
of 1900 officials and about 5000 other
callers of prominence. He will then prob
ably adjourn to his family dining room
to enjoy New Years dinner.
AS said at first it is great day and a
great occasion, but it makes the president
tired and weary, just as it would any 9TH
er mortal with limited physical capacities.

Chinese Festivals.

China has multitude Of festivals and
religious observances which give continu-
Gus employment to the priests. Only two
of these have been transplanted to this
Countrywide annual celebration of the
new year in February and the harvest fes-
tival in the fall. The greatest festival not
celebrated here is the feast of the lanterns,
which occurs in March, but evidently has
not been transplanted here because too
near the New Years festivities. The har-
vest festival is often in this country called
the feast of the lanterns because of the
prolific display of large and multicolored
lanterns made at that time, but this Is an
error.-Philadelphia Press.

THAT UTE "INVASION."
The Alarm Was a "BuncO" Game on
Some Ones Part.

The Alarm Was a "BuncO" Game on
Some Ones Part.
DENVER, Colo, December 1S.-A special
to the News from Monticello, Utah, says
Col Lawton of Gen. McCook's staff and
Dave Day arrived here Wednesday, having
been delayed by breakdown, after riding
forty-five miles with no saddles other
than lap robes. The Ute Invasion" was
shown by investigation to be a regular
bunco. There was no cause for alarm,
ard the whole scare seems divided between
a desire of the cowboys for grass and the
anxiety of Utah's executive for well-re-
paired political fences when Utah secures
statehood.
The Indian agent accuses Gov. West of
political aspirations before the council, and
declared the entire affair a "bunco" from
start to finish. There are but few Utes In
this section, and they declare absolute
freedom from depredations or lawless acts
or intent.
Chief gnacio is bitter in his arrangement
of what he pleaSes to term the Mormon
liars" and at first positively declined to
return, but when the agent explained the
matter he consented to obey orders and
go back. He explained to the council the
talks he had had in Washington, and de-
clared that he had never knowingly re-
linauished his right to the country where
he was born and where his father and
mother were buried, and he further assert
ed that his rights antedated the settlement
by the whites. Agent Day has advised the
department Of the character of the situa-
ton. The Indians have never been denied
cartridges when they had money, and on
the day that Gov. Vests arms and am
munition arrived cartridges were sold to
the Indians. Col. Lawton is also thorough
ly disguised.

VIII You Marry Met

From the Buffalo Commercial.
The London Telegraph tells of a funny
incident that occurred on a recent Sunday
in a church at North London. A young
man who carried a collecting plate after
the service before starting. put his hand In
his pocket and placed. as he supposed. Q
shilling into the plate and then passed IL
round among the congregation, which in
cluded many young and pretty girls. The
girls, as they looked on the plate, all SEEM
ed astonished and amused, and the young
man, taking a glance at the plate, found
that he had put, instead of a shilling, q
conversation lozenge on the plate, with
the words, "Will you marry me?" In red
letters staring everybody In the face, while
one of the congregation had capped II by .
second lozenge, on which was printed.

Equal SUFFRAGE IN KANSAS,
An Effort to Resubmit 1t to the
People.
Of The Evening Star.

Special Jurisprudence OF The Evening Star.
TOPEKA, Kan, December II, 1894
The breach in the woman suffrage, which
was widened at the late state meeting at
Winfield cannot be healed, and the war
goes merrily on. The republican faction,
led by Mrs Laura M. Johns, the president
of the association, carried out the washes
of the politicians of that party by voting
down the resolution asking the legislature
to resubmit an amendment to a vote of the
people at the general election in 1896 The
populist element then rebelled and resolved
to carry the war into darkest Africa"
meaning the republican house of represen-
tatives.
When the populist women bolted the ac-
ton of the Winfield meeting they at once
organized the Kansas Equal Suffrage Re-
submission Club, and elected president
Mrs. Altnea Briggs-Stryker Of Great Bend
and Mrs. Laura Dun-Stanley Of Wichita,
secretary. Mrs. Stryker is one of the most
graceful, as well as one of the most elo-
quent woman speakers in Kansas. She
does not assume the striking attitude of
Mrs. Lease, or display the emotion of lit
tie Mrs. Diggs, but she appears before an
audience as the queen of the flock and lis
cusses the rights of women with such logic
and force as to melt the hardest of hearts.
Mrs. Stryker does not covet notoriety; to
| the contrary, she has preferred to keep her
light under a bushel until Mrs. Lease Mrs.
Johns, Mrs. Diggs and others get through
with their quarrel, run down" and quit.
Mrs. strykers opportunity has arrived.
She is the new Richmond In the field, and
during the next sixty days the country
will hear from her she marshals the
suffrage cohorts in battle array. Mrs.
Stryker believes she has hit upon a plan
that will put the republican party on rec
ord. Her first onslaught will be upon the
state senate. That body stands twenty
three populistS, fifteen republicans and
two democrats. She believes every populist
senator will vote to resubmit the amend
ment after she explains to them that its
defeat in the house will leave the RESPONSE
bility on the republican party and Mrs.
Johns wing, who did It's bidding at Win
field. Having secured the passage Of the
amendment in the senate, Mrs. Stryker,
with her army of suffrage advocates, will
move upon the republican house. While
that body is strongly republican, she be-
lieves she can secure enough votes to win
the battle. Then she will storm Gov. Nor
rill with such force that he cannot resist,
and thus secure his approval.
This new Warwick in the suffrage move
ment has issued her first proclamation to
the women of Kansas She calls upon those
who favor woman's enfranchisement to or
ganize resubmssion clubs at once In every
town and city In the state, and move on
the legislature early In January.

Renewed Efforts to Have Them Take

DENVER, Col, December 1S.-Col. s. s.
Scott of Uchee, Ala, and Capt. William S.
Davis of Little Rock, Ark, members Of the
commission to treat with the Uncompahgre
and Uintah tribes OF the Ute Indians, and
to allot their lands in severalty, left this
city today for Fort Duchesne, and will be
joined today probably at Ouray by Timothy
A. Byrnes OF Atlantic City, N. j., the third
member of the commission. The secretary
of the commission, Col. T. B. Edlein of
Maryland, accompanies them. Byrnes has
been agent at Ouray for a number Of
years, and knows the Indian character to
a dot.
This Ute commission is acting under the
treaty of 1880, and IL 1t gets the Indians in
a complaisant mood and allots them their
lands In severalty an immense domain OF
public lands in northeastern Utah and adj
joining Colorado will be thrown open to
the settler. The Uncompahgre reservation
alone embraces 1,3OO,UO acres, and the
reservations of the other two tribes nearly
as much. The work of the commissioners
this winter will be to come to an under
standing with the Indians. if possible, and
in the spring put surveying parties to work
preliminary to allotting the lands in sew
crafty to the Indians. When this will be
actually accomplished and the remaining
lands thrown open to settlement Is only
a matter of conjecture. The delay in TAX
ing action under the treaty of 1850 has
been due to the unwillingness Of the In
dams to enter into negotiations.

LIKELY TO VOTE SECRETLY.
The Senatorial Election Before the
Michigan Legislature.
pondence of The Evening Star.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
GRAND RAPIDS. Mich, Dec IL, 1894.
A new and interesting problem has de-
veloped In the senatorial contest. and that
is as to whether in caucus there shall
be an open or a secret ballet. Two years
ago the friends of Cyrus G. Luce demand.
ed an open ballot, refusing, otherwise to
go into caucus. The open ballot was in
sisted upon that the people might know
just how each man voted on the senatorial
question, whether for the millionaire Stock
bridge, or for the lowly, yet honest, farm
er, Mr.. Luce. The Stockbridge forces were
very confident as to where they stood, and
readily conceded the open ballot, and
Stockbridge won on the first.
This session the situation is materially
different, and not every member will want
1t known how he votes for Senator. With
so many candidates ir the field. local sem
timent has been worked up in behalf of one
candidate or another, and there are six Of
them in the field, and no matter how q
member shall vote, he will not give UNI
qualified satisfaction at home. Several or
those who voted for Stockbridge two years
ago fell by the waysde this year in tho
caucuses and conventions because of their
former senatorial preferences, and the law
makers In the present session have no de-
sire to be similarly sacrificed.
The rules that shall prevail in the caucus
are already being canvassed, but no de-
cison will be reached until the members as
semble in Lansing on New Year day. II
sixty-seven members bind themselves to
abide by the result of a secret ballot, that
will settle the question. These sixty-seven
members could caucus by themselves and
the candidate who won in this caucus
would be the Senator elected, because those
in the caucus would be just strong enough,
numerically, to elect, being a majority OF
the two houses i'm joint session. 1t IL
fairly safe to predict that the secret ballot
will be adopted, and ii will have ten
dency to make the election a short opera
ton.
The friends of Mr.. Burrows will probably
insist upon the open ballot, and the dark
horse candidates will prefer it, as tending
to prolons the contest, but the legislators
themselves will find the secret ballot q
great convenience and. also a safeguard
against future trouble.
