New York. April s.-The departure of
the Texas from the Brooklyn navy yard
was the signal for increased activity IN
the work of preparing the smaller ves-
sells for active duty. More than 400
men are now employed in the renova-
tion of the cruiser Chicago. Over at
the receiving ship Vermont there is a
continuous stream of applicants for en-
listment, and on an average about thir-
ty men are taken on every day. The
Dolphin will be ready to leave by Mon

Commodore schIey's Three Cruisers Are
Ready for Service.
Fort Monroe. Va, April S.-The three
ships of Commodore Schley's flying
squadron had busy time of it. There
was drill aboard them all and a special
,'rill on the flagship. The Minneapolis
has not finished taking on coal and so
has not painted her hull The Colum-
bia took on more coal. to make up for
what she has used in the last few days
The red flag flew from the fore truck
of the Brooklyn, announcing that she
was taking on ammunition.
The particular and lasting business of
the day. however, was stripping ships
for action. On the Brooklyn it was
done with something like emergency
speed and afterward there was a call
to quarters. The boats were put over
ana 1t was a bustness-like drill. On the
other two ships ii was a much more
leisurely proceeding. All the ships will
remain stripped until the possibility of
war is over or they go into action. The
clearing will not be as thorough as
when actually going into a fight but IL
will not take more than fifteen minutes
to complete it.
The battleship Texas steamed into
Hampton Roads at 1880 o'clock in the
morning and at 8 o'clock dropped
anchor with the flying squadron off
Fort Monroe. She is fully painted the
lead war color and is in the best of con-
dition. The Massachusetts, will be

A Job without Tears.

John p Green, an Ohio politician OF

TO a fairly good place in one of the
departments in Washington. At home
Green is Il criminal lawyer. and Is
known by his success In influencing the
feelings of the jury. He weeps natur-
al tears at the right time. rends his
hair, and does other things which sue
cessful lawyers do. His department po-
sition pays 81. 500 year Green told
his Ohio friends that he earned as
much at home from his practice They
thought he ought to have had some
thing better. OF course. ought"
said Green, and | hope to get some
thing better. but let me tell you this,
the 81 800 | get now comes a good deal
easier than the 81 500 earned at home.
| tell you, this thing OF shedding tears
and tearing your hair before jury is
no easy business. 1t will wear any
man out. If had to keep at 1t much
longer it would surely break down my
constitution. You don't know what it
means to me TO get that 81. 800 without
tears. Between S2,500 with tears as a
practicing member of the bar and

the government, | choose the latter ev-

Several years later residents and
travellers in that territory reported de-
predatlons committed by pack of
wolves led by a long-legged feet-footed
animal that could outrun the swiftest
horse, possessing wonderful sagacity
but bearing no resemblance to wolf.
For several years the inhabitants of
that locality were annoyed by this
band of four footed robbers, that seem
ed to delight to hover about populated
precincts and attack and destroy the
domestic animals of the residents. Par

down and kill these pests, and, while
they succeeded in almost annihilating

A KLONDIKE ROMANCE.
Why the Duke of Dawson's Daughter Re
iected the Count

Why the Duke of Dawsons Daughter Re
jected the Count.
Lady Clara Klondike, the golden
haired daughter of the first duke of
Dawson, stood within the grand old
Oaken hall of her fathers palace, over
looking the frozen river and the snow
clad hills, relates the New York Sun.
She was clothed heavily in rich and ell
egant furs, for the winter had been
tong and cold and the end was not yet.
She shivered as the seneschal an
nounced the arrival of the count of st.
Michael. Full well she knew the in
tent of the counts visit, and she steeled
herself for the encounter which she
knew must follow quick upon their
meeting.
Seeing the fair being standing by the
wide fireplace of the drawing room,
looking more lovely than he had ever
seen her he approached her side in
whirl of emotion.
AT last" he calculated in suppress
ed tones.
Why" she inquired in a tone of
voice which made the Klondike winter
seem like a tropical dream.

long have | yearned for this moment.
Day unto day uttereth speech and night
into night showeth knowledge, but all
days were dumb to me and all nights
black in ignorance while | have been
waiting to come thus into your pres
ance and offer you my heart. my hand,
and my fortune
Thus speaking he hung himself at
ner feet, the meanwhile ten large and
soiied Indians from the headwaters of
he river came forward rolling into the
beautiful reception room, ten barrels of
pure, unadulterated gold dust, worth
1885, an ounce at any mint in the
land
AT first Lady Claire's fair face took
on kindly look, and there was in it
almost a rosy flush of hope. She
watched the barrels eagerly. for they
looked so much like the barrels her
father was wont to pack hams in ere
he had come hither from Chicago so
many years agone.
However it was but a moment until
she detected nothing in the barrels
save gold dust, and she inyoluntarily
and convulsively clutched at ner be-
llamoned and gold stomacher, hanging
now so loosely about her fair form.
The count, still at her feet took no
notice. for he had not spent the winter
n Klondike and did not know how it
was.
As she saw what the count was law
lshing upon her, she drew back and
touched him with her foot as a token
that he might rise.
Take back your gold. count she
said, waving her lily white hand for
he Indians to withdraw as they had
some--that is, accompanied by the bar
rels. Take back your gold have no
use for it here 1t was kind of you to

That beautiful transparent stone cal
