of the stage of ba byhood into that of flower
picking and blackberry hunting. Through
out the intermediate time she was GER
tainly the most pampered infant as regarded
sponsors in all Bailycarney family. Neither
Shaemus Veg tor the Widow O'Farreil had
children of their own, SO that they law
ished u tremendous deal of affection on
Kathy.
Uuc day when the sun looked down with
his kinulIest smile upon the young corn in
the valley, Kathy's mother tied u shcitering
bonnet about the child's head and sent her
across the meadows toward the farmhouse
of the Widow O'Farrell. 1t was pleasant
in the meadows that morning. There were
grasshoppers innurnerable, whose intermit-
tent chorus seemed to set the warm air
a-quiver. Then there was a corncrake,
raspng out ostentatious expressions of
happiness, from a distant corner. Flowers
grew by every stile, and in the streams small
trout and speckled 'breackeens" (Which is
Ballycarneyese for .'minnows'o darted hith-
er and thither in a fashion bewilderingly
delightful.
Small wonder was it that Kathy delayed
many times along the field path, or that,
when She finally reached the widows house
it was only to find that buxom dame already
gone forth TO do her marketing.
"Godmother not Within" communed the
wise little woman with herself. "Kathy
go an see godfather"
Suiting the action to the word, she tod
died out of the O'Farrell farmyard and
turned along the uphill path towards Shae-
mus veg's.
But Shaemus was absent from home also,
for there were meadows a-mowing and hay
a-making along the hill slopes. Kathy was
disappointed, but her spirits revived when
she remembered the myriad pleasures of
of the footpath and began to retrace her
footsteps. Mrs. O'Farrell's dairymaid aud
the ploughman at Shaemus Malone's had
alike tried to pursade her to stay; but
Kathy would not be stayed, for she had
will of her own and was, perhaps, just a
little spoilt to boot.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 23-All the am
bassadors have now received instructions TO
concert proposals with the view OF improE-
ing the situation in the Ottoman empire.
The proposals before being submitted to the
sultan will be referred to their respective
governments.
All the powers, including Russia, as re-
peattdly announced during the past few
months, have agreed in principle to the ex-
pediency of employing coercion should the
sultan be recalci.ran..
The form of coercion to be employed will
not be determined until the emergency
arises
LONDON, Dec. 23.-As frequently an
nounced from various capitals since the
visit of the czar to the queen at Balmoral
In September last, the powers have finally
become convinced that the sultane promises
amount to nothing and they are determined
to begin a policy Of coercion. All intorma-
tion points to the accuracy OF the news le
ceived today from Constantlnople and cabled
to the Associated press. The marquis OF
Salisbury on Monday last summoned the
ambassadors to the foreign Office and COM
municated to them the views OF the British
government on the definite proposals of
Russia for joint intervention, in order that
each ambassador might communicate them
to his own government and thus enable the
representatives of the powers at CONSTANT
nople to be properly instructed,
There is reason to believe that unless the
sultan within the next ten days shows a
Difference of which at present he is little
suspected very decisive steps will be under
taken in the rame of the joint powers.
In this connection the Novoe Vremya Of
ST. Petersburg says it is probable that
within few days the Russian Black sea
fleet will appear in the Bosphorus, where
It will be joined by the squadrons of the
other powers from the Dardanelies
A Constantinople dispatch to the Chron-
icle says that the sultan invited the Ar
mcnian patriarch, Mgr. Ornanan, to sign a
document admitting that the Armenians
were solely responsible for the recent trou-
bles. thanking the sultan for his clemency,
declaring on behalf of the Armenians that
they are completely satisfied with the re-
forms instituted and that they are not de-
sirous of foreign interference. The Chron-
icle correspondent says: THE patriarch re-
fused to sign this statement and sent his
resignation to the Porte. 1t has not yet been

FIRST OF M'CAFFERy's FIVE WIVES
Mary Dawson Gets II Mig Slice of "a
Million DOIInr ENtntc.

CHICAGO, Dec. 23.-Mary Dawson McCaf-
fery was pronounced by a jury in Judge
Dunns court yesterday to have been the
legal wife of John McCafery at his death in
1894 and therefore entitled TO a share in his
estate. McCaffery died worth about 81 ,000,-
coo and had had five wives, most of them by
common law marriages He lived with his
last wife for over forty years. Mary Daw-
son, it. appears. was married to McCaffery
in Ireland over fifty years ago. They came
to America after two or three children were
born. A daughter named Nancy was kid
naped by relatives and has never been
found. One of McCaffery's later wives, it is
said, was burned TO death in Philadelphia
over forty years ago. McCafery became a
contractor and prospered. He came to Chi
cago and grew richer, and incidentally he
married again. His eastern wives and fam
lilies forgot him and some of his wives, in
Guiding Mary Dawson, it was claimed, mar
ried again. The latter believed McCaffery
dead and, according to the story, married
William Daniels, who was killed in the civil
war When the products of the second and
later marriages attempted to prove claims
Mary Dawson came forward to prove the
validity of her claim as the only legal wife
and to upset the golden dreams Of other
heirs. Her present home is in Virginia.
