EARLY DAVIS IN THE WEST,
A Reminder Of One Sad Incident Is Found
In the Form of q Gross.


A Reminder Of One Sad Incident Is Found
In the Form of Cross.
Travellers over the dreary stretch
of Nevada desert traversed by the
Central Pacific railroad come upon
the reminder of a sad little romance
near the eastern boundary of the
Silver State.
In the early twilight of the east
ern trip, or an hour after dawn on
the western, it can be seen, CLEAN
ing from the hillside in the form of
simple wooden cross standing on
the hillside. The cross is white
washed and the youngest and most
sharp sighted of the tourists can de-
cipher the legend in black across
the horizontal part, "Maiden's
Rest.
The cross marks the grave of two
lovely young women who died in an
emigrant camp before the Central
Pacific had united the east and west
by its strong bands of steel. They
were sisters, Alice and Rose Sewall.
Their father, hale country grocer,
was victim of that contagion
known in 1849 as the California gold
fever, and was en- route in a prairie
schooner for the goldfelds on the
western slope of the Sierras when
the girls sickened and died. Alice
chung to life with pitiable grasp.
Her lover was one of the company
of Iowa emigrants, and the young
couple had rosy dreams of the flu
ture home in the land beside the
Pacific. Wrestling in the throes of
fever, she would pray for recovery.
She died with her arms about her
lovers neck and with her prayer
for life echoing in his ears.
Rose fingered days afterward un-
til the fever fend had racked her
frame beyond hope of aught but
rest. 1t was rest she prayed for as
she was dying and she found it in
the grave beside her sister on the
sun kissed hill on the border line of
Utah and Nevada. It was an invi-
tation to the red savages of the
western wilds to mark the graves
of the dead in that later reign of
terror. There was nothing, there
fore, but memory as a guide to their
resting Place when ten years later
friend OF the dead girls and their
father and thu young man who had
sincerely mourned Alice's loss visit
ed the spot again.
The old man and the young had |
met death instead of fortune in the
smiling new land that was so cruel |
to many of her guests. The friend
was returning from the goIdfelds
a poorer and wiser man, and he
stopped on the border line of Ne
vada to pay last poor tribute to the
memory of the young women who
had given up their lives there. The |
rough pine boxes were resting where
they had been lowered a.decade be-
fore. The friends purse was very
light one and he could do no more
than erect a cross fashioned by his
own hands.-St. Louis Republic

Anecdote of the Due d'Aunale.

Courageous in battle, the Duo
d'Aumale was wanting in moral
courage and decision. He made up
his mind with difficulty. I recollect
this happening at a soiree where I
was, SO far back as 1873. | was
standing near the door of the first
salon of a long suit, watching the
grand company enter. The Due
d'Aumale crossed the anteroom to
enter. The usher asked what name.
General lie Due d'Aumale. The
man was swelling his chest to bawl
it when the due said: mo. An
nounce his royal highness the Due
d'Aumale F." But on an instant s re-
Election this did not do either, and
he said merely, 1.-The Due d'Au-
male. > Finally he said, Say moth

This gave me the assurance that he
would never restore the monarchy
or set himself up as Stakeholder.

Germany. having an easy. safe and simple,

WORK FOR $4,000 men.
Window Glass Wage Question Settled
and Furnaces Will BE Fired
Once.

Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. 1S.-Window glass
factories throughout the United States will
be able to resume work just soon as they
can get the furnaces hot enough to begin
work. This will be in about three weeks,
and means work for about 1900. Tonight
kilograms were sent to the managers of
every window glass plant in the country to
start fires at once. as settlement of the
wage question. which has been SO long in
dispute, had been reached. The workers
will resume at an advance which Is not as
large as was expected. and for which such
a strong contention was made. One week
ago Il settlement was reached by the blow
erS and gatherers. The cutters and fat
teners, who have seeded from the Window
Glass Workers Association, were not sat
isfied with the rate offered. and held out
until late this evening.
One week ago a fruitleSs conference was
held by the wage committee of the manu-
facturers and cutters and flatteners, when
the manufacturers offered an advance of u
per cent over the wages of last year. The
parties Interested met again to-day, with
all sections of the industry represented.
Late in the afternoon the manufacturers
made a concession. They proposed to give
the cutters an advance of 13 per cent and
the fiatteners Is per cent. Heretofore the
fiatteners have, in addition. been paid %
per cent of the gross earnings of the blow
ers. This feature was the hardest pill for
the flatteners to swallow. but they finally
concluded to accept the offer. thus ending
a protractcd and expensive lockout.
