BERMUDA WOMEN.

Bermuda women are excellent
housewives and bring up large
families of children, some of the
most favored young folk being
sent to the United States for
educational advantages In matters
of etiquette they are far more strict
than Americans. AS a rule, they are
well to do and live comfortably, while
some of them possess ample means
and enjoy much luxury. In Bermuda,
as in England, property, especially real
estate, remains in the same families
for long periods, and some of the de-
scendents OF the first settlers still pos
sess lands which have never passed
out of their families. 1t is just this
conservatism about property which
causes the superabundance of spinsters.
No alien can acquire a title to land in
Bermuda either by purchase or inner
itance. This is chiefly precautionary
measure against the Portuguese, who
flock to the country and go in largely
for onion growing. But the law pro-
vides that if a woman marries a for
eigner she shall lose her landed prop
erty, and shall also become incapable
of inheriting any. This law is natural
ly not popular with the ladies, who see
their brothers mate with Americans
and other aliens and would fain have
the same liberty. Occasionally Ber-
muda girls renounce their birthrights
for loves sake, but as a rule the
charms of penniless maidens are not
for wives, and thus many girls are
doomed to single blessedness in Ber-
muda simply by the law of the land.

The resolution was referred to the
Naval affairs committee. Speaking
of his resolution Mr. Berry said: Il

Schley is the real hero of the Incl

officers and men under his immediate
direction are the ones who achieved
the victory and all honor should
given them. Sampson commands the

'The mestiZo young women are

vessel ties up at Manila or Cavite for

CHAPTER II.

Valerie, you will not leave me,
dear?"
The question was put in a loving,
tender tone.
Valerie Ross turned her imperious
head. She was standing at one of
the windows in the lofty morning
room of Darrell castle.
An old lady was seated at the table,
glittering with silver and costly china
for the early meal; her hair was
white, her face gentle, yet proud.
She smiled as she met Valerie's dark
eyes.
II shall be so lonely" she continu-
ed
Then I will remain, dear Lady
Darrell. To tell you the truth, I was
beginning to fear 1 had extended my
visit too long, and that you were
tired of me-"
Lady Darrell stretched out her slen-
der hand, and the tall, beautiful form
left the window and knelt at the
elder woman's feet.
Nov 1 shall scold you, Valerie.
How often have I begged for this
visit and you would not come. Do
you think shall let you curtail 1t
just when you like? No, no, my dear;
I mean to have my way"
Valerie bent and put her warm, red
lips to the white hand.
''It is dull here, I fear, Valerie,
Lady Darrell said after a pause; "es-
pecially these two next days while
Roy and Eustace are away, but they
will soon pass"

now it was very white as she sait

that will be historical was estab-
lished by the senate. For probably
the first time in history resolutions
were adopted rendering the thanks Of
congress to common seamen, specific
ally in which private soldiers of the
army and common sailors of the navy
were eulogized. The resolutions rec
commended by the president were
adopted, rendering the thanks Of con-
gress to Naval Constructor Hobson
and the heroes of the Merrimac, to
Hudson for his gallant rescue of the
Winslow and her crew off Cardenas,
and retiring on full pay Capt. Hodg-
son for distinguished services at
Manila.
Consideration of the general def
cheney bill was concluded and the
measure passed. An amendment of
great Importance was attached to the
bill, practically by general consent. 1t
relates to the settlement of claims by
the government against the Pacific
railroads. The amendment appoints
the secretary of the treasury, the sec
rotary of the interior and the attor-
ney general and their successors a
commission with full power to settle
the Indebtedness to the government
growing out of the issue of bonds in
aid of the construction of the Central
Pacific and Western Pacific bond-aid-
ed railroad, but the commission shall
not agree to accept less sum in set
Element than the full amount of the
principal and all amounts necessary
to reimburse the United States for
money paid out in this connection.
The commission is empowered to
grant such time OF payment by install
ment and such rates of interest, to
be not less than per cent. per an
mum, as may seem expedlent, pro-
vided final payment and full dis
charge of the Indebtedness shall not
be postponed to exceed ten years.
Twenty thousand dollars are allowed
the secretary for expenses Of the COM
mission making the settlement An
amendment was also adopted appropri-
ating $145, 600 for the purchase of land
in Pearl harbor, Hawaiian islands,
and for dredging. The bill as passed
carries about 1927, 100000, the largest
sum carried by any appropriation
measure since the civil war. After
the passage of the deficiency bill, con-
sideration of the Hawaiian annexa-
ton resolutions was resumed, Mr..
Caffery (dem., La.) concluding his
speech in opposition to annexation.
Washington, June 29.-The house,
after sending the Indian sundry civil
bill back to conference, resumed con-
sideration of the bills from the mill
tary affairs committee. Notable
among the measures passed were
those providing for the enlistment of
cooks in the army; providing for the
appointment Of military storekeepers;
providing for the protection of harbor
defenses against wanton and malicious
injury; and giving the secretary OF
war discretion to permit any church
or religious sect to erect it's house of
worship upon the West Point military
reservation. A protracted discussion
was precipitated by the bill to in
crease the daily army rations by the
addition tri-weekly of one quarter of a
pound of full cream American cheese
and two ounces of canned corn.

Washington, June 30.-After debate
lasting three hours the senate finally
receded from it's amendments to the
sundry civil bill adopted and adopted
the conference report on the Indian
appropriation bill.
The senate committee on privileges
an elections favorably reported the
bill allowing soldiers to vote on the
field.
An attempt to secure the passage of
the bill to incorporate an interna-
tional American bank met with deter
mined opposition in the house. Fill
clustering was INDUCED in, but it was
not effective in preventing consider
alton of the bill. Adjournment, how
ever, was forced before vote upon
the measure could be reached. The
house adopted the cO'nferencne report
upon the Indian appropriation bill
It insisted unanimously upon it's
disagreements to the senate amend
ments to the sundry civil bill and
sent the general deficiency bill to
conference.

bate upon the Hawaiian resolutions
continued in the senate. Three
speeches were made. Mr.. Hoar
(Mass.) in advocating annexation,
made a notable appeal against any
