LOYAL TO INSANE WIFE.
Pathetic Story Revealed By tho Hu
bands Denfh


bands Death. !,
The skeleton in q family closet has
just been unveiled in Sioux Falls, s.
d., through the death of P. P. Boylan.
city treasurer. It is a pathetic story
hitherto unknown to any except tho
very intimate friends of the Boylan
family. 1t was known to the friends
and neighbors that Mrs. Boylan never
went out and never received visitors,
but the reason for this conduct was
not clear. Mr.. Boylan fell dead of heart
disease while on the way to the Roman
Catholic church, and when friends went
to the house to inform his wife she
would not admit them. The doors were
barred, the curtains drawn, and no re-
Spouse obtainable from the interior.
The story then TRANSFERRED that for 30
years Mrs. Doylan had been insane
During that time she had been cared
for by her husband, who had cooked
the meals, performed the housework
and nursed his imbecile wife. For
30 years this faithful husband has
never left his wife, except for business
or church engagements. and has kept
secret the story of his family. !,
It was late at night before an en-
trance could be effected, and then Mrs.
Boylan ordered the intruders out.
When told that her husband was dead,
she accused his friends of having muir
dered him, but refused to go to him.
She had to be taken out of the house by
force, and was carried to the Jail, where
she is now. 1t is probable that it will
be necessary to send Mrs. Boylan to the
asylum, as there are no living rela-
tives to care for her.

been put there while he was wearing
the coat.
The wording of all the notes was ex-
actly the same, and ran as follows:
Nobody will ever discover who murdered
Richard N. Strong. 1t will be useless to
try. The secret lies in the smile on the
dead mans face. Who put it there. and
how was 1t done? These questions will
remain unanswered till the end of time.
But this is not all. Before long others will
wear the dead, white smile.
"ONE WHO KNOWS HIS BUSINESS"
Col. Warrenton hurriedly read the
rest of the sensational article, then
threw aside the paper, and went down
the street for two or three squares aud
up to the Office Of the mayor. He sent
in his card, and was admitted at once.
Mr.. Roundtrce was writing at his desk,
but he rose and drew chair near him
for his friend to sit down.
II just ran in TO see about that note
you got" said the lawyer. "Is it fact
that you found it in your pocket?"
The mayor thrust his right hand into
the pocket of his sack coat. "He put
It right there, colonel. could show it
to you, but sent it to the police. I
thought it was the only one till read
the extra just now"
"How could it have got into your
pocket?" asked Warrenton. "Have you
been in any crowds today"
Several, as it happened. AT the post
Office this morning there were great
many people waiting for the mail. i
stopped at the Imperial hotel in a
throng of politicians, and at the corner
of Main and Broad streets ] was in a
crowd around the driver of cab who
had been thrown against lamppost
and considerably injured. Itcould have
been put into my pocket at any one of
those places without my knowing it,"
what do you think ought to be
done?" asked the colonel.
II think the villain ought to be run
down at all COSTS" was the reply. II
have just sent out a circular to be post
ed, in which I offer in the name of the
city, $4,000 for his capture"
IA good idea," said Warrenton. "Do
you know this detective Hendricks?"
"By reputation only. understand
no is the sharpest fellow alive in his
particular line. l am glad he happened
to DO in town. You know he refused to
come here just after the McDougal
murders, he has so much to do in the
larger cities. But I think he's inter.
ested in this case. They say he's like
bloodhound; when he smells blood he
can't stop till he has run something
down. BY the way, he has bound us to
secrecy. He says he will drop the case
the moment it gets into the papers that
he is here"

mentioned it to you, but he told me you
had given your consent to Hendricks
being employed"

PR0FLIGACY IN NAVY.
What It Costs to Keep All War.
ships in Active Service.
Plan Under Consideration for Layiaa
Up Some of Our Vessels In Re.
seFve-Would Save s1,446,-
220 Per Annum,

The new naval administration Will
soon take under consideration plans al
ready matured by naval experts for lay
ing up some of the United States war
ships in reserve, according to the prac-
tice of every European navy.
Last year, exclusive of the coast sur
vey vessels, 81 ships We're kept in &c
tive service at an expenditure of SO, O0O,-
GOO, and in many instances with little
regard to economical business methods.
The Asiatic squadron, which had been
reinforced to six ships during the
China-Japan war, to protect American
interests, was maintained intact after
the necessity for such strength had dis
appeared! Four of the finest ships
were kept in the Mediterranean, most
of the time in the single port Of Smyrna,
when In the opinion Of experienced
naval officers one good vessel would
have accomplished the same results.
On the Atlantic home station, the
Cuban complication led to wise exhi-
bition of naval preparedness to use
Capt. Mahan's coinage, which caused
severe strain on the amount held in
precarious treasury for naval exigen-
cies. The question of holding ships In
reserve is one of paramount importance
when it is considered that the cruiser
New York cost S1,151 per day last year.
BY putting six ships like the New
York, Olympia, Columbia, Cincinnati,
Raleigh and Amphitrte in reserve, tho
saving would be 81, 446,229 per annum.
This great saving in running expenses
represents not only q wise economy,
but by releasing the men and officers,
WOULD provide q complement for the
battle ship Iowa, to be ready for COM
missioning within month, and the
light-draft gunboats which have SO long
been needed in the service. Their
maiden commissions require skilled
crews and commanders to put them
promptly in fighting trim and to insure
the highest results from the new ma
chinery. Competent men in the pre-
liminary shaking down" of these ships
would enable them afterwards to go
into reserve with a small force Of care
takers and render them available for
prompt use in any emergency. New
York, League Island, Norfolk and Puget
Sound are considered the best available
reserve stations, the lighter draft ves-
sells on the Atlantic coast to be concen-
trated at Philadelphia 1t is believed
that is ships will be withdrawn from
active service in the next five months,
the Miantonomah having already been
made the pioneer. For this purpose
the Cincinnati has already been ordered
home from Europe, and the Detroit u
now on her way from China, both ves-
sells being expected to reach New York
in April.

the streets with their faces closely
yelled. This rule applies to all females,
excepting quite young girls, and they
are nearly always very pretty, with full,
dark eyes, rosy lips and nicely-rounded
cheeks. Oriental beauty fades very
quickly after marriage, for Moorish
belle who marries at II or Is is "passe"
at 90, old at 25, senile and decrepid at
As. The Arab is, as elsewhere in Africa,
fierce, quarrelsome and fanatical. He
is capable OF warm and enduring friend
ships, and may prove very reliable and
trustworthy, though on the other hand,
he may turn out to be treacherous and
deceitful.
The climate of Morocco varies consid-
erably, though in the extreme southern
provinces, where it borders on the great
desert of Sahara, the mercury seldom
rises higher than 95 degrees Fahrenheit,
and throughout the entire country the
average the year round is 81 degrees.
1t is a very fertile country-every-
thing can he raised that will grow in
any part of he world, for even the fruits
and vegetables of the northern tenn
perate zones can be cultivated success
fully on the lower slopes of the Atlas
mountains. Prominently, of course,
the date, fig, olive and other tropical
fruits are at their best. aud are largely
exported. Splendid forests of live oak
and the costly woods used as veneers
are to be found in the nc:ghborhood of
the Atlas. Here, too, is a favorite field

other big game" are plentiful.
Morocco has its share of reptiles, in
Guiding several very poisonous snakes,
but there are other snakes that are non
poisonous and are trained to keep tho
house clear of lizards, spiders, rats, etc.
One sees the pet snakes in many Moor
ish houses.
Under any other but Mahommedan
rule Morocco might be one of the most
productive countries in the world, for
it has so much fertility and, it is said,
great mineral resources. But under
semi-civilized system, of government,
such as prevails in the Turkish empire,
the people are kept down by enormous,
and, of course, unjust taxation, and the
possession of wealth is dangerous to
those who are not under the protection
of European or American consuls.
But with the rapid advancement of
civilization, especially since the French
In Algiers have effected such remark
able changes (and the Moors are first
cousins of the Algerines), there is every
prospect that the bright light of modern
progress may soon shine on what was
once grand country (the Mauritania

A TANGERINE BELLE.

American traveller must carry pass
port, armed with which he will be as
safe in such cities as Tangier, Morocco,
Fez, and Tetuan as in Chicago. In the
cities W here the sultan of Morocco rules
law and order prevail and crime is very
rnre. 1t is very different, however,
when one lenves the white walls of Que
city to travel to another; theo indeed
the protection of one or two soldiers is
necessary to guard against attacks OF
the predatory tribes of Riffs and Sahara
Arabs whose recreation consists of
plunde1'ing the unprepared ''Giaour,"
as they call a Christian. These nomads
are supposed to be subjects of the sui.
tan, and when he raises the green stand
ard of Mahomed (for, as the supposed
lineal descendant of the prophet, he
is the head of the Moslem church in
northwestern Africa) they will enlist in
his army, and they are ferociously
brave. AT other times they pay no at
tention to his laws, and no tribute.
Ones first experience of Morocco is,
of course, Tangiers; and Il few days
spent there will give an average idea
of all other Moorish cities. There, as
in all the other towns, can be seen the
evidences of the grand past of the
Moors. On every hand are wonderfully
massive mosques, citadels, palaces,
aqueducts, built hundreds of years ago
when the Moors owned the best part
of Spain; and such magnificent struc-
lures as the Alllambra and the Giralda
attest their love of the beautiful and
the skill of their artists and decorators.
But the Moors of to-day are INDECENT,
unprogressive and densely ignorant.
They are dccayed race as, indeed,
can be truthfully said of all the nations
that profess the religion of the false
prophet. AS for the grand buildings
of the medieval Moors, "Sand hath
fil'd up the palaces of DID," and even
the mosques are all going to ruin
The lover of the picturesque will,
however, be delighted with the Moors
and their country. for specimens of
all the races, civilized and otherwise,
found in northern Africa may be met
with in half an hours walk, say in
Tangier. There are five principal races,
VIZ, Berbers, Arabs, Moors, Jews and
Negroes.
The Berbers are decidedly the most
stalwart and energetic people in the
country, and more inclined to agri-
culture than the Arabs who, of course,
are mere nomads. The negroes were
formerly from the Soudan, brought
here as slaves, but after embracing Is
lamtsm they were made free, and as there
is no racial or color line in Morocco
