Crawford" in the current Fort
nightly Review, is by Mrs. Craw-
ford, whose relations with Sir
Charles Dixie lost the liberal party

Crawford has been for many years
past very active journalist she
was befriended very keenly by
Cardinal Manning, who received
her into the Roman Catholic
church. On one occasion, it ia
stated, she went on a piece of Jour-
nalistic enterprise for the Pail Mall
Gazette to st. Paul's cathedral,
where she met Canon Liddon. The
canon asked Mr.. Stead for the name
of "the pretty and simple grip that
he had met, and was astonished to
find she was the heroine of a ia
nous divorce case. He, however,
declared that he would befriend
her; and thus it was that Mrs.
Crawford has had among her most
active friends for some years past
two of the great pillars of the rival
creeds Of Christendom. Mrs. Craw-
ford was married at Is, and, al

An Interesting War Romance.

A little romance of the war was ap-
propriately rounded out at Harlan
Court House, KY, few days ago. In
1862 fine young fellow of II, named
Jesse Baker, a confederate, was wound
ed in a slxirmish near that place, and
was left by his command at mountain
cabin owned by John Calleen, BUSH
whacker, who was helping the Yankees.
John and his wife were absent, and
only their 13-year-old daughter, Nan
ME, was at home. She cared for the
wounded boy, nursed him through a
three-months' sickness, and fell in love
with him during that time. But Baker
went away, forgot Mamie, and at the
close of the war married another girl.
His wife died. A little while ago he
moved to Harlan county, where he dis
covered his benefactress, Mamie, and
found that she was widow. A few
days ago they were married.

ever may be their sentiments as to the
binding force of the Monroe doctrine.
There is every reason to believe the
commissioners will begin their work at
once and expedite the investigation.
Under the terms of the act authorizing
the commission it is virtually an indie
pendent body and free from any con-
troll, either of the state or executive de-
partments. 1t will find a great mass
of material ready to its hands in the
former department. If necessary 1t
can go to Venezuela and Spain for more
material, and there is a general I'M
preston that the English government
itself will indirectly aid the commits
sion by furnishing it with the same
evidence it would be likely to offer
if this were an arbitration. The Eng
lish have greatly modified their tone
since the president sent his message to
congress. They have discovered that
he was not menacing Great Britain, and
that his message was not warlike, and
that the only purpose of this govern
ment was to get at the facts, which it
could not find in any other way, as
Lord Salisbury fatty refused the arbi-
tration which would have brought
them out, and ascertain the truth as
between the contentious of Great Brit
ain and Venezuela.
The high character of the gentlemen
on the commission will in itself be an
additional inducement for the English
government to lend its aid in reaching
a decision.
No one need fear, says the Chicago
Tribune, that the commissioners will
perform their important duty in any
other than a judicial frame of mind.
or that their decision will not be based
upon the merits of the case. They are
great jurists and eminent scholars, and
will not mar their national and inter
national reputation by any suspicion
of partisanship or by any unjust dis
elimination. Whatever they shall de-
eide will be accepted by their country
men as both correct and final. If, on the
other hand, the British government
shall scout at this commission or ques-
ton its ability, it will be tantamount to
the confession it knows it's cause is not
just one and will not bear scrutiny.

Wheat: Although the wheat
market has been very active the
past week, neither the bulls nor the
bears have gained any particular
advantage, that is, comparing the
price today with that of the close
last Saturday. The bullish senti-
ment that has taken hold Of the
market, has caused some nervous
ness on the part of shorts, and eau
ton on the part of bears and scalp
ers have who, found it no easy task
to successfully catch the turns.
Holders have shown a disposi-
ton to sell on the bulges
and buy back on the weak
spots, which has proven very good
Judgment. Above 6S cents there
appears to be a large quantity Of
wheat for sale, while below ~, the
demand seems to be equally
as good. News generally has
favored holders, but traders
have shown more disposition to
watch the pit and get the tenor of
the market rather than operate on
the news.
Dornbush says the shipment of
wheat has been so much under the
requirements Of late, to the United
Kingdom, that they are left prac-
ticslly with only four weeks sup
ply. Bradstreet states that the
worlds available for January has
decreased nine million bushels
against three million, a year ago.
while the Liverpool Corn Trade
News says that the combined
stocks afioat and in Europe for jan
uary have decreased 100000 and
that a further shrinkage is antici-
pated in February and March. The
cash demand at home has been ex-
ceedingly good, although the ex-
port trade has not come up to ex-
pectations.
The bearish influence is the con-
tinued heavy northwestern re-
ceipts, according to reports from
Minneapolis, they are likely TO
continue liberal. The early news
today was not encouraging. Liver
pool did not respond to our advan-
ces yesterday, and Argentine ship
ments were reported GAO, 900 for the
week. This caused a weak open
! ing but good buying orders advan-
ced the market about cent, which
was later lost, on general realizing.
We believe that the weekly ship
ments from Argentine, Black Sea-,
and Baltic ports will soon show an
increase, oSS cause an easier spec
ulative fe11aof at home and abroad.

Closed Last Night in Blaze of Glory-No
Approximation of Receipts
The Midwinter fair closed in a
blaze Of glory last night. The
building was comfortably filed, a
circumstance which was but a
repetition of every night since the
fair opened.
To a LIGHT reporter Manager
Rose expressed himself as highly
gratified with the success of the
fair.
"The results of this enterprise"
he said, shave far surpassed my
expectations. The interest mani
tested in the fair is something I'M
precedented in San Antonio, as is
evidenced by the hearty and lib
eral support, the same people COM
ing again and again. 1 believe
that the success of a fair double
the size of this one would be pro-
portionately large.
'The fair ran ten days, and l es-
innate the attendance at about
15,000-a modest estimate. / at
tribute the success OF the fair, in a
large measure, to the popular
prices, enabling the same persons
to return again aud again.
"This enterprise has made the
institution of a fair on large
scale possible. There can be no
doubt as to the success of a mid
winter fair. 1t is the season when
the tourists are with us, and when
all our own people are at home,
and such an institution at this
season can be made universally
attractive. The next fair ought to
run three weeks at least.

On Saturday afternoon the parson said
to me; "My sermon is written, and I need
a rest. Come with me to Two Foot bay,
and we will have try for deer" We rode
over disused road to Highland House,
and thence to a COW pen, where huge
tamarind tree cast a broad shade and was
alive with glittering humming birds
My friend led the way through thick
scrub to noted deer walk, and there we
took our stand just as the shadows were
lengthening along the fields. Soon fine
black buck came stepping daintily out Of
the copse and offered shot that not even
q bungler could have missed. He was n
splendid animal, and my gun was loaded
for just such ms he, and the short way to
tell the story Is TO say that he went home
with us behind our negro attendant, shar-
ing with him the horse he rode. One was
enough, and to the parson 1 was indebted
for him; so, of course, willingly agreed
with him that 1t would be wanton waste
to shoot another The sun was only about
TO set as we took the homeward trail
through the bush, which was animated
with varieties of birds. As we were cross
ing an old field, with single tree In its
center, out of that lone tree flew bunch
Of guinea birds, going like the wind and
screeching like mad things 1t was then
after dusk, the moon was risen, and all
the guinea fowl had gone to roost. While
l was telling the parson, as we halted a
moment under the tree, how easy 1t would
have been to bowl over two or three of
those birds had l but known they were
there out burst another bevy from the
limbs right over our heads. The parson
then asked me why l didn't bowl over
few and said there were probably some
more in the same spot, as that was tho
only treo i'm the field. Recovering from
my astonishmCnt, | unslung my gun, and
as did so another gust shook the branches
above, and a smaller bevy bolted through
the air These did not get away un-
scathCd, and as we continued homeward
q pair Of them hung at my saddle bow.

monts for the hunter, for in the fall and
early winter come along great tlooks of
plOver, snipe, ducks and teal, all the
winged migrants that coast the shores of
the United States in their southwark
search for u winter homo AS for those
great birds that hover on the debatable
borders of sport-the polcans frigate
birds, herOns, tlamingoes and tropic birds,
they sometimes swarmed here unmolested
and not afraid.
But the bird that gives the best shooting
here is the beautiful white headed pigeon,
which haunts the sea grape thickets along
the shore. The number that might have
shot was only bounded by my ambition,
