expressions of displeasure, given in
such tranquil rage that possibly the
recording angel blotted them out with
q tear. For Herbert had big, gen
erous heart, and as soon as he had fin
ished reading the letter it had warmed
toward the poor little motherless baby
whom his sister had adopted and was
now sending to him by new nurse
maid.
The letter gave one reading it con-
firmation Of the idea that language was
invented to conceal thought.
"She is such dear little thing" IL
ran on, "and has never lived out before

sure you will like her-not the maid

country minister, or something, and the
family lost all their property, and 1

not choke her if she cries-the baby,

week-if not sooner"
"Hew like my erratic sister," said
Herbert. "Here she sends me a peri

to be delighted. must inform Mrs.
Daniels, and she will probably give ao-
tice."
He rung the bell for the housekeeper,
rather prim, very respectable-looking
person, who looked as If she might turn
into pillar of salt without material
change, and he gave her his sisters let
ter to read. After all, the house and all
therein belonged to her; they had
simply to obey orders.
"a baby!" said Mrs. Daniels, in much
the same tone as she might have used

"You are not what you seem to bel
you are masquerading,' Herbert re-
torted, hotly.
81 think you will be satisfied when
your sister returns; that will be to-
morrow. Until then l have nothing TO
say, and I will not desert my charge
Herbert tried another tack.
"As the baby is to be fixture in the
family, l suppose l must order per-
ambulator to take the little thing out
for an airing. Or you can go with Mrs
Daniels and make the selection your
self"
The girl laughed-yes, actually
laughed in his face. He was furious at
his own discontinue, and rushed on to
destruction,
"And since you do not seem at all
prepared for filling your position in
suitable manner, would suggest that
you wear the customary black dress
and white apron and cap of the regular
nursemaid; 1t will define your posi-
tion in the family"
If he expected an outbreak Of wrath
he was mistaken. A panied look came
into the refined face, and tears started
in the overcharged eyes. But she an
swered in a calm, even voice.

the room like young empress; with
her head thrown back in regal disdain.
But an hour later she condescended
to accept his offer of the carriage and
horses to take baby for ride, and, ac-
companied by Mrs. Daniels, drove to
the park.
It was a lovely day and the park was
crowded, and, as IT happened, Herbert
was there on horseback, and had the
pleasure of some of his aristocratic
friends ask who was the handsome girl
in the Roberts turnout. Now, he could
not very well say @my sisters nurse
maid" for he did not believe she was
any such person; nor could he answer
that he did not know, which was the
literal truth, and so he looked glum,
and was called "a jealous old dog" for
his pains.
Then an incident occurred that had
all the elements of a tragedy in it, A

just as If he really expected to fight
Fitzsimmons Oct. 81. The prevailing
opinion in Hot Springs circles-is that
the fight will certainly occur at some
point in or near Garland county Such
an air of mystery surrounds the whole
proceedings that it is very hard to get
any thoroughly reliable information
on the subject but that preparations
are being made in a quiet way for
fight no one doubts. Many Hot
Springs people believe that the fight
will occur at Wilmington park, the
site originally selected, and that the
battle will occur on the date originally
agreed upon. They argue that the de-
the prize fight law leaves the matter
exactly where it stood before Corbett
was arrested, and that it was virtual
ly a victory for the fighters. The fact
that the Hct Springs Athletic club
have engaged circus tent, seems to
indicate, however, that some private
spot has been selected. A close friend
Of Gov. Clarke has been shown letters
from Hot Springs which tend to con-
firm the belief that a fight will occur.
One of these letters is said to have
come from Attorney Martin and stated
that preparations were being made for
a private fight.
Gov. Clarke, in speaking of this in
format ton, is said to have remarked
that he did not care how much they
fought so long as it was conducted in
private and without being advertised.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, Oct. q.
The University Of Virginia suffered
great loss from a fire which oc-
CURED this morning. The local fire
department was unable to cope with
the flames, and assistance was Ob-
tained from Staunton and Lynch
burg, which, however, arrived too
late to save the public hall and ro-
tunda. The fire started in the form
er building, and a large quantity Of
dynamite was used on the portico
between the rotunda and the public
hall, but beyond displacing the large.
pillars nothing was accomplished.
Attention was then given to the.
buildings known as "Old Chapel
and Reading room. These were
blown up and the debris saturated
with water and the fire thereby was
confined to the hall and rotunda.
The library, containing about SIS, 900
worth of books, statues, paintings,
ETC., was in the rotunda. An effort
to save the contents resulted in the
getting out of the Jefferson statue.
and three-fourths of the books. Ev-
erything else was burned At 2
O'Clock the fire was gotten under
control. The lecture rooms were de-
stroyed, and everything in the biuld-
ing, including a geological labora-
tory of great value, painting en-
titled the School of Athens" a.
copy Of the celebrated production by
Raphael, were consumed. The total
loss is estimated at not less than
$3OO,O00, with insurance of s25. 900 on
the buildings and contents. The, or
lgin of the fire is not known.
Several minor accidents occurred.
The faculty have determined to go
on with the lectures tomorrow as
usual, and will use other buildings
belonging to the university. Debris
from the fire was carried six or sew
en- miles into the surrounding coun-
try. Sparks set fire to DR.. Chancel-

Well in the Water.

Well in the Water.
NEW YORK, Oct H.-The Herald
publishes a statement this morning
that the new second-class battle
ship Maine, which is to go to Balti-
more, draws three feet more water
forward than aft, and her right side
is sunk deeper than the left. A naval
expert who looked at the ship in the
navy yard at Brooklyn thus sums it
up:
The facts are that the Maine
draws three feet more forward than
she does aft; that she leans over to
starboard considerably; that, being
now ready for starting, having TAX
en- aboard her full coal supply of
500 tons, and her complete outfit of
men, stores and ammunition, she
should float symmetrically if she
was properly designed, and, that her
defective foatation lines must be
due to radical and permanent causes
and not to a mere temporary mis-
placing of her weights.
The officers of the ship are report-
ed to be reticent concerning these
alleged faults, and it is not known
who is responsible for them, although
they may be due merely to careless
building. In all other respects the
ship is said to be a model, and her
machinery, which was given a dock,
trial Saturday, works perfectly.

pany, over the settlement of certain
claims consequent upon the appoint

Railway and Navigation company.
which was formerly part of the Union
racine system. The matters under
consideration, Mr.. Mink said, were of a
nature similar to those which formed
the issue in the suits recently argued
before the circuit court of appeals in
this city by the attorneys for both
companies. When asked for his opin-
ion on the recent report of the gov
ernment directors Of the Union Pa
cific, Mr.. Mink said:
Il understand that the government
directors have recomme nded that the
government foreclose its mortgage on
both the Union and Central Pacific,
take up the first mortgage and, after
securing possession of the through line
from Omaha to San Jose, sell it to the
highest bidder.
The governments lien on the road,
it should be remembered, is simply a
book account and is not represented by
bonds. 1t is, accordingly, worth only
what it would bring in the op mar
ket. The plan of the government di-
rectors, 1 should say, would be a good
way of determining the value of the
lien on the property. But whether the
United States government is in a posi-
ton to go into the railroad business
is a question which 1 am not prepared

HERES A STRAIGHT TIP.
Western Union Is Evidently Sure
the Fight Will Occur.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, Oct. 27.-An ac-
ton taken here last night by the West
ern Union Telegraph company indi-
Gates that the company is in possess
sion of straight tip that the Cor
bett-Fitzsimmons mill is to be pulled
off at Hot Springs. Ten days ago the
Western Union company sent twen-
ty-eight linemen here to rebuild it's
system of wires in this city. The work
has just been fairly begun and the sys-
tenn is in state of chaos, with thirty
days work necessary to complete it.
However, a telegraphic order was re-
ceived ordering the twenty-eight men
to take the first train for Hot Springs.
This is taken as an Indication that
the fight is to take place at some secret
spot near Hot Springs, and that the
men are wanted to erect wires to the
place. The foreman of, the line gang
and his men seem to be in as much
ignorance of the true meaning of the
order as any one else
