Dolly Radnor did not use her mothers
crest
The last one OF these letters was bit
curt and impatient. 1t read:
DEARHsT JACK-You have got gold
enough already to startle Mark Hanna
with, much less mamma and the count.

to cure the count. Frequently come down

Dolly.
She didn't add that she was wearing all
OF her last summers frocks, that she hadn't
a new gown or new hat to her name; that
everything had been cut of from the first
OF the year-at least, all the spending
money her mother gave heron account of
her disobedence about the count, and as
for her own income, she had taken the
to certain young fellow who has recently
dug fortune out of an Alaska gold field.
This young fellow has no idea Of how mean
even fat mother can be when she is stupid
and vain and ambitious, nor will he ever
know from Dolly's lips the extent OF her
sacrifice, so am determined he shall read
it.
He came home ten days ago and there
was the happiest girl in the world to greet
him in certain big country house near
Washington. The count was not happy
and Mrs. Radnor is as yet barely reconciled
to the situation, for she felt that she had
enough money for the count as well as for
the girl who may be named as one woman
who did not send missing man to the

Methinks I see him climb the hill, Pulling lots of cars, And when his engine goes to slip The frmer he sets his jaws He shuts her of, gives her sand, Then straight way goes ahead And with admiring glances at his

 You bet you, she's not dead. As with new life the old ''I0' pulls, And says, Il won't lie down, We'll yank these cars over this hill, Or Jack and are clowns" Over the hill, and away they go Running as if mad. Mountains skip by, poles fy, Jack is looking glad. His fireman says, "For Lord sake, Jack,
 We left two hours late And are going in right square on

 When for Ash Fork his whistle

 dart,
 Its sound ahead of him goes To her who waits with anxious
 prayer,
 For her Jacks safe return, And as she whispers thanks to God, Her cheeks with love do burn. Years roll on. Jack grows old, The old "Ten' Is no more, Jack has climbed the hill of life And knocks at heavens door. Peter asks him for his name, He says, I'm Whistliug Jack, And if you have no pas for me, I'll have to count ties back.

He condemned himself by changing his

Another article by Zola Is printed In

"The very conception Of Hebrew

nation of another in his stead every
body knows to be manifestly base, puer-
lie and simple. 1t is worthy of those who
invented it. Dreyfus was condemned
for treason by a court-martial. From
that moment he became traitor-not a
man, but an abstraction embodying the
idea of his murdered country and rep
resenting not only present but also past
treason to the obstinate mind, only
mindful that his treason might have de-

THE EASTERN QUESTION
Russia and Germany Approaching
Open Rupture

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. S.-Great
reticence is observed in official circles
here regarding the political situation in
the Far East, but the opinion prevails
that Germany will not permanently oc-
cupy Kiao Chau Bay, on the Shan Tung
peninsula. The Russian newspapers
protest against the occupation of Kiao
Chau Bay, as being calculated to in
jure the interests of Russia in the Far
East, and they say that the Russian
government ought to demand it's evacu-
alton, or else obtain an equivalent.
BERLIN, Dec. 3.-The Naval Depart
ment has sent instructions to Kiel to
dispatch 600 artillerymen with field
guns, and 1000 marines to China.
LONDON, Dec. A dispatch to the
Times from Shanghai says that five
Russian instructors have recently ar
rived in China and that Russians have
also been appointed custom officers, two
at Canton, one at Swatow, province of
Quang Tong, and one at Flu Chau, capi-
tai of the province of Fo Kien.

BARKER BLUFFED
Appointed to Office but Can't Get
Possession

MOBILE, Ala, Dec. 3-For four days
past the newly appointed postmaster.
p. d. Barker, Republican, has in vain
endeavored to obtain possession of the
office here from Postmaster Rapier,
Democrat. The latter's attorneys have
raised an entirely new point Of law,
which Inspector Tate says has never
been raised in his experience. Post
master Rapier's commission expires in
December, 1898. Mr.. Barker was ap-
pointed by Mckinley in October last.
Mr.. Rapier has had no notice of his re-
moval, although Inspector Tate served
upon him tonight telegraphic instruc-
tions from Postmaster General Gary
saying that Rapier should accept Bark
er's commission as notice of removal,
no other notice being customary with
the department.
Mr.. Rapiers attorneys hold that the
language of the statute relating to post
masters of the first-class is special; that
it provides that the president shall ap-
point and may remove such officers by
and with the advice of the senate. Con-
sequently, as Mr.. Rapier's commission
has not expired and Mr.. Barker's ap-
pointment has not been confirmed by
the senate. nor Rapier's removal con-
firmed by the same body, Rapier is still
postmaster. He is now awaiting the
next move of Barker and the inspector.

Get Coney Island Saloon Keeper Into
Trouble

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-Charles e. Nor
son, a Coney Island saloonkeeper was
arrested today on a charge of having
received stolen postage stamps from
gang of western robbers, the majority of
whom are in prison. Postoffice Inspector
Waterbury of the Denver division, who,
in company with several officers, made
the arrest, said that during the last year
stamps worth more than s150000 have
been stolen from postoffices in various
parts of the country, and of this amount
he said the greater part was brought to
New York. where they were disposed of
by fences.
1t was when some of the gang broke
into the postoffice at Cripple Creek,
Col, that w. H. Hostetter and Oscar
Dickens were captured. Dickens wrote
Morson a warning letter, which was in
tercepted by Inspector Waterbury.
Later he traced package of stamps to
the Coney Island saloonkeeper and
gained possession of letter containing
a check for 1919, which Morson sent to
Hostetter in payment for s423 worth Of
stamps. Morson was given prelimi-
nary hearing and was held in S350O ball.
the case going over until next Wednes-
day.

reporter said:
II did not bring a.boy by the name of
Mayer, who was a former inmate Of the
school, to lone to appear before the
board. The charges have made are
true, and can prove them all by good
and responsible witnesses. Talk about
reform, it is a rank farce and is cost
ing the taxpayers of the state about
$4,000 yearly"
Another man connected with the
school said Superintendent O'Brien
stated that boy by the name of Cronin
received but forty strokes with a paddle,
and the records show that fifty-seven
blows were administered by Capt. Har-
ris. One of Ione's most prominent busi-

is not the kind that will maliciously
lie, and his statement will carry It's
