One woman's Sacrifice for Another.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 24.-Com-
missioner of Patents Butterworth made
a number of promotions Saturday. To
day u of the women who had been
promoted came to the commissioner and
said:
"Mr. Commissioner, there Is woman
who sits alongside OF me in the Office
whose necessities are much greater
than mine. She is a splendid clerk,
and is now supporting her sick sister
and child. Her brother. who previously
assisted them, died a short time ago.
The lines of her life are drawn in a
much harder place just now than are
those Of mine. | want 70 ask a favor OF
you. want to ask il you will not let
this other woman have my promotion,
and allow her to draw the increased
salary until she is placed in better cir
cumstances. When that time comes
perhaps we may change about again"

and he was gone.
She sat m~otionless and watched him
as he rode away. Her heart quickened
its pulsations as he neared the gate.
Her life OF love for him passed in re-
view before her in rapid thought. She
was as one spellbound. She did not
know what to do, whether to give an
alarm or sit still and see him die by
his own hand and all for o single word
from her. He reached the gate, dis
mounted and opened it and in a second
the fash Of his gun was seen, his hat
was hurled in the air and the report
reached her ear. She sprang to her
feet and rushed to his side, determined
il she found him alive to tell him all
the secrets and lougings Of her heart.
AS she approached the gate she saw
him lying PROSTATE and fiat on his
back, she rushed to him, xnelt at his
side and grasped his hand and said;
Dear one, speak to me just once, dc
not die and leave me- and then he
quickly opened his eyes, and smilingly
asked: "Will you be mine, now?" He
had fooled her. He had placed his hat
on the muzzle of his gun and fired

4 TRUE LOVE STORY.
ssSaT You Will Marry Me, or in Five
Minutes I'll Kill Myselfw

Many years ago there lived in the
city of Petersburg, Virginia, a very
popular young pharmacist. He was a
general favorite with all who knew
him.
Nature and fortune were kind TO him.
He was handsome, he was talented, he
was we'll educated and he was wealthy,
but if the question be asked: Morally
WHAT we would make no reply.
Three miles from the city lived an
-aristocratic and wealthy old planter.
he had an only daughter, rich in all
the accomplishments which family as
sociations and wealth could give her.
The smiles Of Nature and Fortune
made these i've young people leaders
in Petersburg society, and they were
naturally ~favorites one OF the other.
It might truthfully be said they we're
lovers.
The young pharmacist declared his
love whenever occasion presented an
opportunity. He pressed his claims
for her heart and hand whenever he
could tell her his story Of love. He be-
lieved she loved him in return, but she
would never make an open confession
of her love. She would never promise
to give him her heart and hand, would
never say she would be his beloved and
loving wife, and still she would not dis
courage him, would never give him
any rebufs. He knew full well the
cause Of his troubles. He knew that
his dissipated habits stood between hin
and the marriage altar.
One day he said TO himself 81 will
make her speak her mind to-day, | will
make her tell me she loves or she shall
tell me she will never marry me and
thereby end my suspense" He ordered
his horse, his gun and his pointer dog
ostensibly TO go hunting quails, but, III
truth. to leave the city and visit his
lady love.
He found her at home, and soon be
gan again to repeat his story Of love.
She heard him with interest as ct other
times but would make him no promises
All his pleadings could not draw from
her a single promise, a single pledge t.
marry him. In a moment Of ieignet
desperation, he rose to his feet and said
Il will give you five minutes to answel
me, yes or no, and II you will give m,
no answer ! will leave the house anC
kill myself" He then drew his watch
from his pocket and counted the min
utes, one, Two, three four, and the five
minutes passed and she gave him ne
answer. He then took her hand anc

Advantage Of Long Political Service.

M
Senator Mcmillan, OF Michigan, in a
newspaper interview a few days ago, In
which he urged the reelection OF Sena-
tor Burrows, from the same state, at
the expiration Of his term two years
hence. said some sensible words about
the advantage which comes 10 q state
from keeping its representative a long
time in congress. Look at the power
OF Thomas 3. Reed and Messrs Boutelle
and D:ngley OF Maine" he remarked,
.s'men who have spent years in the
House. All the Eastern states have
men of force, whose great influence Is
largely due to their long service" he adj
ded. "a new man however is only a

tom
There is force in the words OF the
Michigan Senator. One reason why
the Eastern states have exerted great
er influence over legislation, relatively
to their population, than the Western
states is that many of the former give
their Representatives in Congress ire

secures for them good positions on i'm
portant committees, and gains for them
an influence which no new member
could have, whatever his ability, or
however high his standing in his own
state. The case OF Maine, which was
cited by the Michigan statesman. af-
fords a fine example of the power and
distinction which long service and Sc
curity of tenure brings. In the Fifty
fourth Congress one Of Names four
members in the House was Speaker as
he is now, and each of the other three
members was at the head of a commit
tee. One OF the other members is al
the head Of a committee in the present
House-the most important Of all the
committeeman if the other commit
tees had been framed doubtless the other
surviving members would be similarly

ment, knowing that civilization and des

A FROST FOR ICE DEALERS
Artificial Ice Destined to Drive Out the
Natural Product.
THE PROCESS GRADUALLY CHEAPENINe
Production OF Cold by Means OF
Evaporation Estimated to Have
Added Millions to the
Value of Provisions.

It In only within the last ten or fifteen
years that the making OF artificial Ice has
become a general industry. and it is only
a little over thirty years since the first
really successful ice machine was set up in
this country. Yet the outlook now Is that,
with the introduction Of a process just per-
fected, the cost of making artificial Ice will
be cut down to such a figure that natural
ice cannot compete with 1t, even In such
northerly cities as Montreal or St. Paul.
Practically speaking, Ii Is impossible to
harvest, house and sell natural ice. even
under the best conditions, for much less
than 81. so n ton. That at least is the esti-
mated cost of the natural ice furnished to
New York City. This is harvested from the
Hudson, from below Albany, stored and
shipped to the city in boats. The transpor-
tation is OF the cheapest, and every condi-
tion favors the west possible price, and
yet So is about the bedrock figure for Ice
In the metropolis. The figure for Boston,
Chicago and other large cities Is usually a
dollar or SO higher.
Tho present cost Of making artificial ice
In northern cities, where coal and supplies
are cheap, has been closely estimated at
S1.S5 per ton, so that 1t is not profitable TO
sell IL at much less than $3.50 or SO a ton.
BY the invention OF a new process 1t seems
probable that artificial ice will soon be made
for so cents a ton in large quantities., so that
It may be sold at a profit at not much more

all constructed on much the same principle
as an ordinary Ice making plant. On a solid
concrete floor, miles upon miles OF coiled
iron pipe are laid and the whole surface then
flooded with several inches OF water. Through
the coils OF pipe is circulated either eyapor-
ating ammonia or a solution OF brine, which
is continually pumped through the pipes and
then cooled In turn by the ammonia eyapora-
tors in some other part OF the building. This
country has been slow in introducing this
form of amusement, the first of the artificial
ice Kinks being built in England twenty-five
years ago. One OF the Paris Kinks. circular
in form, Is ITO feet In diameter In its Ice
| surface, and outside OF these are raised seats
for spectators, SO that the whole looks like
a huge hippodrome.
Artificial refrigeration has likewise had an
immense extension In recent years, In the
production OF cold in breweries. abattoirs,
markets, and especially cold storage houses.
Very often no ice is made by these machines,
as the cooling required can be accomplished
more conveniently by circulating cold brine
or cold fresh water In pipes where It Is
needed. 1t is probable that the growth OF
| the cold storage system has added millions
OF dollars In value to meats and other per-
ishable provisions. which are now kept for

100-ton plant-that is, a plant which will
manufacture 100 tons OF Ice per day-costs,
with the best machinery, in the neighborhood
Of $4,000, to say nothing OF the building and
lot upon which it stands, and the latter must
be one of considerable size, something like
100X150 feet. As the location, further, must
be in the very heart of the district to be
supplied, SO as to reduce the loss from haul
ing and melting to a minimum, in a large
city the cost Of land alone is an exceedingly
important item and one that adds heavily 20
tn, fixed charges Of the plant. Mr.. Holden
stimates that a 100-ton plant of the new
system will not cost more than half as much
as the old, or about $40, 900, and that 1t will
only require a lot Of about 25x100 feet, which
very materially decreases the original cap
ital required for a plant. With fuel and
supplies at present New York prices, he

twenty feet high; the steam condensed and
again filtered in steam filters filled with
coke. The condensation Is effected by plac-
ing the filters in the open air, on the roof
Of the building, and circulating around them

the factory is located. After leaving the

charcoal, and is then ready to be converted

And tell of his love again and again,
AS a passion of heaven born.
The lover of God may kiss the rod,
And tell of Its Christening power,
or the holy love that is shed abroad
In his heart from hour to hour.
None of these is a joy without alloy,
To some they are only a bane;
