mahinr Love rp , rres.

Billing and cooing among the Fijiana Is curious feature in their social GUS toms It is decidedly against the rule to do any courting within doors The gardens or plantations are the spots held sacred to Cupid, and the generally ap- proved trysting place of lovers is high up among the branches of a breadfrnit tree.
 You may often walk around planta. tion on a moonlight night and see couples perched 40 feet from the ground in the breadfruit trees, one on each side of the trunk, position which comes fairly within the limits of Fiiian maiden's ideas of modesty.

 calls a Family H story.


 Major Kingsbury had a daughter ae well as the son who fell at Antietam The daughter married Simon Bolivar Buelner of Kentucky some time before the war. Wben General Buckner decided to go with the Confederacy, the danger of confscation of his wife's interest iH the Chicago estate confronted him. X family council resulted in the transfer of Mrs. Buelkner's property to her brother Colonel Kingsbury fell in battle with out leaving will to protect his sisters inheritance When the war closed, the return of Mrs. Buclner's s interest i'll hes fathers estate was asked for i'll behalf of her children. Mrs. Kingsbury de. cEned to concede it. She claimed all that had been left in her husbands name for her son and herself Litiga- tion followed and dragged along foS years. Major Kingsbury s 40 acres were in tue heart of Chicago when the fire occurred.
 In the years immediately following the war Washington had few womeI, more talked about than the beautiful widows Mrs Becky Jones and Mrs Kingsbury, the nieces of an ex-pres:. dent of the United States. Mrs. Kings, bury became the wife of Gallatin Law renee, son of one of the wealthiest manufacturers ill Rhode Island. Galla- tin Lawrence had chosen a diplomatic career He was sent to Costa Rica as minister. When he came back, society at the capital had great sensation over the talk of duel between Minister Lawrence and Captain von der Hass os the Belgian legation because of the G D. tain's attentions to the beautiful Mrs Lawrence The Belgian sailed for Eu- rope. So did Mrs. Lawrence. Gallatln Lawrence followed. There was duel and then divorce case. Von der Haas went to Egypt. Mrs. Lawrence went there too. Gallatin Lawrence returned to the States
 The son of Colonel Kingsbury wa. sent to Oxford His inheritance was cut in two by decision restoring to her heirs Mrs. Buckner's share in the 9g acres One day young Kingsbury came nome from Oxford, bringing Q college friend. Between the English student and Mrs. Lawrence an attachment quickly developed. Mrs. Lawrence was twice the age of her son's chum. sne married him and is or was the last that friends in this country learned, living with him abroad. Kingsbury married a Levantine, and he, too. is in foreign country. The fortune acquired through the Chicago investment has been much reduced.

 The child took this equipment, and first removed the cover of the box. She lighted the candle and placed it inside the box and then tried to fasten the paper over the box with the twine. She was awkward and embarrassed. She could not fit the paper around the box.
 A juror asked her what gave her sc much trouble.
 q can't tic it here, ' said little Miss Bessie from the high chair in which she sat. "I was sitting on the floor as home !"
 Sit on the floor hero, then' said the recorder.
 Down she jumped, and, sitting on the floor of the courtroom with her lit- tie legs doubled under her. she rapidly folded the paper around the box and fastened it with the string. The jurors stood up to watch the little child make the lantern. In moment she held if up for inspection. The light from the candle shone through the paper, making famous lantern.
 Then the spectators applauded, and some of the jurors shouted, She's done itl" The lantern was exactly like the boxes the marshal had found in the sta tioner's store.
 The jury returned verdict of not guilty, and it is understood that it was the testimony of little Bessie which had most to do with that result. = New York Journal.

HOW THE TROOPS WILL MOVE.
New York and Pennsylvania Guards
men Are Ready to March.

Troy. April 4--It is said here on high
authority that in the event of a decara-
ton of war this week President Mckinley
will call on Governor Black of New York
and Governor Hasting Of Pennsylvania
for troops before he makes reduisition On
the governors of any other States. Cow
ernor Black is here today.
After the regular troops have been or
dered into action the National Guard Of
this State will be called out. The regu-
lars from Fort Ethan Allen and the post
at Plattsburg will do garrison duty at
the various fOrtifications around New
York city and such other works as their
experience best fits them for. The mill
tiamen will be assigned to picket and
guard duty until more serious difficulties
require their services in the field. 1t is
the belief of those high in military aU-
thority in this State that there are
enough Spauiards and Spanish sympathiz-
ers in New York to do a vast amount of
damage before they are stopped. The Nd-
tional Guard will be used TO defend the
fortiticatiOns from any possible attack of
this character. The guardsmen have not
been instructed in the art of handling the
guns in the fortifcations, and this duty
will be assigned to the regulars.
Another important feature OF CdlllHS
out the guardsmen will be tours of duty
similar to those practiced in the State
camp at Peekskill. Ii is the present cal
culation of the State militia authorities
to call out only a portion of the guard
at a time. The troops assigned to duty
first will serve at the fortifcatiOns for
about ten days and then will be called
home and their places at the forts taken
by tho second assignment of State
troops. The members of the guard at
home will be under waiting orders all
the time.
This. it is said tonight. will be the
general plan as at present outlined in
handling the troops in this State. a sim
liar plan will be adopted in Pennsylvan-
ia with relation to the defense of the
fortifications along the Delaware River
and in and around Philadelphia The
troops of both States are ready. and
should the call come on Tuesday or
Wednesday they would be able to move
without delay.

Army posts of this city. al a meeting

Policeman Ocker. early yesterday morn

Multi climbing out of a rear window of
the shop, dragging a bicycle after him.
He gave the alarm. Policeman Hewitt

sponded. Newhaus, whose bakery is op-
posite the barber shop, was an early ar
rival.
Mutt was found in the rear of the
house. Newhaus started in pursuit The
boy climbed two fences, and Newhaus
followed. When he fell he bounded up
again. The boy ran down an alley. but
Newhaus squeezed through, and at last
caught the young burglar in the back yard
