respectfully: II am happy to do you SO
small a service"
The hall was lighted brightly, and they
seated themselves in the big chairs.
There was a moments awkward pause,
and then NJ. de la Briere told his name
and the countess followed his example,
which put them at their ease. a literary
man Of great talent and merited reputa-
ton, thorough man of the world, Rene
was able to judge Nine. Laispare at her
true value, and the esteem he felt for
her character as he knew it must be was
added to the profound admiration her
beauty aWak ened in him. Graceful and
pretty, she combined with perfect regu-
larity of feature mobility of express
sion, and in her clear eyes the depth of
her nature revealed itself. They talked
Of travel, of literature, of music, of paint
ing, and found on all these subjects they
possessed a remarka BILE similarity of
tastes. The situation was a peculiar one,
and possessed the charm of its novelty.
Learning that she was a widow, Rene
dared to ask her if, young and pretty as
she was, she had never thought of mar
rying again She responded with sudden
sadness that her marriage had not made
her happy; that her husband had not
treated her with great Kindness. Her il
lusions had been so utterly destroyed
that she felt certain the only chance of
happiness lay in keeping forever her lib
erty, full and entire. Rene, under the
spell of a sudden enthusiasm, began to
plead with ardor a cause which he al
most felt to be his own. He tried to
convince her how unjust she was in
thus condemning beforehand any true
love which might be offered to her be-
cause her first choice had fallen upon a
man incapable of approaching his hap
piness and proving himself unworthy of
it. He grew eloquent, animated, per-
suasive, and ended his pleading so full
of warmth, and youth, by saying:
'There exists an old Persian legend
which places whatsoever finds a woman
slipper forever under the influence of its
owner. [ ask for nothing better than to
be allowed to fulfill the prophetic legend
and remain all my life in the spell of the
dainty slipper [ found tonight"
And did the countess allow herself to
be convinced? Love and confidence work
miracles. 1t is certain that when Mari
cite returned she was not scolded and
her excuses were accepted in full. And
later it was rumored that the chateau
near Compeigne had obtained a MASTER

UNREMEMBERING SPRING.

Spring is here, with the wind IN her hair
And the vioetS under her feet.
All the forests have found her fair,
And her lovers have found her sweet.
Springs a girl in a lovely gown,
Little more than Il child;
Bid her smile and the tears fall down,
Frown-and her laugh is wild.
Az for she has no heart, not she,
Hear her sing while you weep.
Spring wakes up without memory
Every year from her sleep.
While she slept we have lost our all,
Then she wakes and is glad.
Cries 70 Us then to come at her call,
Wonders why are We sad?'
Stands by graves in the dress of a bride:
What is the dfrge We sing?''
If We tell her that men have died.
What is Death?" says the Spring.
Spring, pass by. we have lived too long.
Take the primrose and go,
Lest you learn from the mOrtalS' song
All that the mortals know.

CUBAN HERO is DEAD.
Gen, Ca1ixto Garcia Yields to Attack
of Pneumonia.

of Pneumonia.
Gen. CaliXto Garcia, who escaped death
in many battles in Cuba, and upon whose
head Spain often placed price, died in
Washington Sunday morning. He was
one of the Cuban delegates who came to
Washington to discuss plans for the fu-
ture government Of the island.
Gen. Garcia was one of the great lead
ers of the Cubans in their rebellion. In
1896 he was placed in command of the
army Of the east, and such was his Eeputa-
ton as soldier and such his success that
the province of Santiago de Cuba was re-
garded as the best place for the landing Of
American troops even before Admiral
Cervera took his fleet into the harbor of
Santiago and made it necessary that the
point of attack should be there.
The old soldier took q severe cold when
he came north, and this developed into
pneumonia. He lived to learn that the
peace treaty had been signed. The Cubans
in Washington regard his death as an
irreparable loss. He was most friendly
to the United States, and believed that
Cuba would ultimately seek annexation
as the best method of securing a liberal
and stable government on the basis Of
home rule.
Gen. Garcia's death was feared, but
was unexpected. For forty years he had
lived an existence which Injured his con-
stitution to every hardship of the field and
camp. He had passed through battles and
plaques, faced bullets and fcyers, and
when he was attacked by cold while
stopping in New York he laughed at the
physicians who warned him of the danger
attending a neglected cough.

Gold Redemption and the Message.

Gold Rede mption and the Message.
No feature of the Presidents mes
sage invites closer study than the pas
sages regarding our money system.
The term currency reform" fits the
subjects Of his remarks fairly WELL Yet
it is misleading, inasmuch as it has
been appropriated and almost monopol-
lied in recent times by the advocates
of a monetary policy which is totally
distinct from the Presidents.
The policy of the so-called currency
reformers has for it's central idea the
abolition of greenbacks and all other
United States notes, and the substitu-
ton for them of national bank bills
based on the assets Of the banks. The
President does not favor any such rad
ical project He does not propose any
change in our national bank circula-
ton, nor any reduction in the quantity
of our legal tender notes. The United
States has no currency problem. 1t can
hardly be said to have a monetary
problem, so simple is the remedy, but,
to the extent that this Government has
a problem, the question is one Of coin,
rather than paper. The President has
a clear conception of this distinction
1t would be we'll if some of those per
sons who occasionally pretend to re-
fleet his views had equally clear ideas

ARE GAINING FAVOR.
MANY OBVIOUS ADVANTAGES OF
DISCRIMINATING DUTIES.
The Element of Permanence vitality
Important in Any Plan Devised
for the Restoration of the American
Merchant Marine.

There is abundant reason to believe
that among practical and far-sighted
men the policy of protection to Amer
lean shipping, by means Of discrimina-
ting duties upon imports in foreign
vessels, is rapidly growing in favor.
Shipbuilders who have hitherto eX-
pressed doubts as to the wisdom of
adopting this policy, and have leaned
toward some form of subsidy Or sub
vention, now express the conviction
that the policy of discriminating du-
ties is the only one likely to be effec-
tive and of permanent benefit. They
recognize the fact that subsidies are
difficult to obtain from Congress; that
they are unequal in their operation,
favoring a few and affording little or
no protection to the many; that the
subsidy measures heretofore passed
by Congress have originally been so
imperfect as to require radical amend
ments; that the arguments in favor of
subsidies are easily controverted, and
that this form of protection would not
accomplish the desired end-the res
toration of the shipbuilding industry
and the creation Of shipowning organi-
cations.
Subsidies might prove beneficial to
shipbuilding plants fully equipped for
the construction of passenger steam
ers, either large or small, for subsidies
would tend to encourage the building
of such ships. But the demand for pas
senger vessels is comparatively linn
tied, and it is not likely to increase
greatly, owing to the competition of
foreign ships either already on the

lines or which could easily be diverted

lines or which could easily be diverted
to such service from other routes.
What is imperatively needed is such
a system of protection as will enable
shipbuilders to devote their attention
to the manufacture of vessels suitable
for cargo carrying. Plants equipped
for the construction Of such ships need
encouragement to enlarge their faclll-
ties without materially augmenting the
cost of their permanent force employed
in drafting, molding and other opera
tons incident to ship construction. 1t
is essential to economical shipbuilding
that two or more vessels of precisely
equal dimensions and form shall be UNI
der contract at the same time, so that
multiples of every part can be pre-
pared with only the additional cost Of
the material Vessels so built would
be uniform in every respect, perfection
in model and workmanship and ma
teriaI would be attained, the reputa-
ton of the builder would be estab-
lished, and this economalic plan Of
construction would enable him sue
cessfully to compete with foreign
builders and thereby secure profitable
contracts.
1t is said that there is not now a
duplicating plant in this country which
is equipped for the economical con-
struction of cargo steamers in the man
ner above indicated. And yet there is
scarcely yard, at least on the Allan
tic seaboard, which cannot build a
steamship as cheaply as it can be con-
structed abroad, the lower cost of ma
terial and the use of labor saving ma
chinery and appliances nearly if not
quite counterbalancing the enhanced
cost of labor. The English shipbuild-
ers are devoting their attention and
energies to the construction of steam
ers instead of sailing vessels. They
are, by manufacturing two or more
ships of the same size and pattern at
the same yard, reducing the cost of
construction to the minimum, and they
are striving to the utmost to retain
their advantage of economical produc-
ton.
Clearly, therefore, this is our oppor-
tunity, No time should be lost in pro-
yiding such system of protection as
will enable our shipbuilding industries
to retain the advantage they now en-
10y and to acquire further advantages
by the enlargement of their plants for
the st91 greater economy of ship con-
struction by what may be termed the
wholesale manufacture of vessels, as
is done in the English and Scotch
yards. The adoption of the policy OF
discriminating. duties upon imports IN
foreign vessels would create such a
demand for American cargo carrying
ships as to stimulate the enlargement
of our shipbuilding plants to the ca
pacity required for the manufacture OF
large numbers of vessels of the same
sizes at the same time, and it would
also encourage the establishment OF
additional yards and restore the ship
building industry to it's pristine Vlgor.
Alike as to the building and operating
OF American merchant ships, the
