None cared at that critical moment
for his recent trial SO long as there was
one at their head who could lead them
inwhat they all saw must be desperate

Amid the incessant thunders that
burst everywhere around the line of
that horseshoe curve of battle is one
place where there is no firing. 1t is at
the ridge, where men are forming at its
base for desperate attempt, and ON its
top others are preparing to receive them

All is ready. The line is formed. Sow

toward the realms of death. and a lar

quiet that brings n suspense harder TO

provide home for his wife and support
her there. l have advised her as to the
step she has taken and have nothing to re-
late on that point.
SIN an interview had with my daugh-
ter in this city I advised her to postpone
her marriage until such time as he proved
his ability to care for her. She has chosen
to overlook my advice, and there is abso-
lutely nothing more that 1 can say, except
that my home will be open to her at any
time in the future should she repent of her
bargain.

HOMES FOR A MULTITUDE,
Millions of Acres to Be Added
to the Western Home
stead Area.
Their Reclamation Must Be Under
taken by the Respective
States.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 15.-Mil-
lions and millions of acres of land are to
be added to the great HON estead areas of
the West.
The last Congress enacted law provid-
ing that the General Government shall do
nate to each State in which there are arid
lands one million acres of such lands on
condition that the reclamation is done by
the States.
Already Idaho and Wyoming have COM
piled with all the formalities of the law
and have taken steps toward securing the
million acres of land within their borders.
Lieutenant Governor Miles of idaho and
E. Meade of Wyoming, both engineers ap-
pointed by their respective States, are here
to complete the final arrangements.
Their mission promises to be very sue
cessful, for they are receiving from Land
dial cooperation.
'The steps which are now being taken
TO transform an immense section of arid
country into fertile and fruitful fields"
said the Commissioner, will, no doubt,
be most far reaching in their effect. Under
the new law, however, the State is to un-
dertake the work, and is to sell the lands
in sections of not over 160 acres to any one
person, for such price as can be obtained.
The Government retains possession for
five years. and if at the end of that time
the reclamation appears to be permanent,
the title of the land passes to the State
and thence to the settler. This means
homes and farms for a multitude of peo-
ple ~

CIVIL SER VICE LAW.
1t Is Proposed to Place Every Gorern-
,sent Enploye Under Its Protection.

1t Is Proposed to Place Every Govern
nsent Employe Under Its Protection.
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 15.-
Hardly is the ink dry on the order
which places the Government Print
ing Office under the civil-service rules
than the announcement is made
that the United States pension agencies
throughout the country will soon be
brought within the provisions of the civil
service law. The order to this effect will
probably be promulgated within the next
few days.
Commissioner Proctor, when seen this
afternoon, was not inclined to be inter-
viewed in regard to the pension agencies,
but when asked if the commission had in
contemplation the proposition to extend
the law to these agencies, he said:
1.-THE commission has many matters of
that kind under contemplation, but no
one is authorized to say So"
1t is fact that the commission has a
scheme to throw the civil service law
around every man in the Government
service, and this, it is said by those in a
position to know, will be done before the
close of Mr.. Cleveland's term of office in
1897. Up to this time there are upward of
10000 Government employees who come
under the civil service law.
