Washington has pretty new ro-
nance to tell, of the wedding of Seno-
rita Evangelice Cisneros and Senior
Carlos Carbouel. Carbonel was one OF
her rescuers, q young man of wealth
and we'll liked in our own country, of
which he is now citizen. When he
asked to wed her he was not refused by
the young lady nor hindered by her
guardian, Mrs. John A. Logan.
But when the lieutenant got short
leave from his post at Jacksonville,
and came to Washington, he found the
District laws were all against him.
When his best man went for license
he was confronted with the law that no
( ,reipners could be married without
ne consent of their consul. The lieu
tenant was an American citiz=n but
Miss Cisneros was not, though her ap-
plication papers were in. The Cuban
ch arge d 'affaires claimed the right to
grant the consent, but the District Of
fetal had to deny that Cuba had
vet any legal representatives
in this country. Then an effort
was. made to rush Miss Cisneross ma
turalization papers through, but only
to run up !ainst another law, this
time to the effect that no citizens OF
any country with which we are at war
shall be granted naturalization papers
while such war is in progress. 1t
seemed hopeless until some one sug-
pested Baltimore. where the marriage
laws are much easier, and so the
priest and TIE sweethearts and Mrs.
Logan ali went over to Baltimore and
the wedding came OFF very quietly
but very successfully.

One of the most picturesque sigh s

flames from the great fires where the
pine tree tops and leafy tulip boughs

hung over everything and through the
smoky veil one would see the men
hewing down trees, dragging great
trunks about, singing and joking at

GoMPERs WRITES 4 LETTER.
Gives the President Some Points Relating
to the Question of Labor.

Washington, Nov. &c. - President
Samuel Gompers, Of the American Fed
Grafton OF Labor. has addressed a letter
to President Mckinley al the request of
the latter. containing suggestions as to
legislation IN the interest of labor which
he believes the president ought to dis
cuss in his forthcoming annual message
to congress. Concerning the eiGht-hour
work-day for all government employees
Gompers proposes that law be passed
providing for the establishment of tie
eight-hour worll-day on all work done
by or for the government. whether that
work be done by contractors or sub
contractors. He expresses the opinion
that the government might with profit
and advantage become q direct employ
er of labor where il is practicable. the
government suffering the loss which
such intervention between the work and
contractors implies.
Gompsrs points out some of the evils
of competition between the product OF
free labor and that of convict labor.
Legislation by the several states on this
subject having proved ineffective-as
Il has been held that q state cannot
prohibit the importation within its Dor
ders Of the product of any other state
-Compers suggests that the power of
congress be invoked to regulate such
commerce between the states. In the
interest Of the labCrinE men of the
country Gompers proposes further to
restrict immigration into the United
States. He also urges that the weapon
of judicial injunction restraining
workmen from doing certain things
within the lawful limit OF their rights
he curtailed as to its use. On this point
Gompsrs dwelfs at length. quoting from
the opinions of eminent jurists in sup
port OF his argument.

July In North Greenland.

The fierce July sun, though but lit
, tie past the northern meridian, beat
down upon me with oppressive warmth.
Before me the warm, red brown land
scape wavered and trembled in the yell
low light. Behind me lowered the blind
ing white slope of the ice. Beneath my
feet the stones were bare even Of lichens
and had dry, gray look, as if they
were the bones of a dead world And
yet felt that with SO much of warmth
and richness oe coloring there must be
life, and, sure enough, hardly had l
gone 100 yards from the edge of the ice
when a beautiful little black and white
songster fluttered up from behind a
rock, hovered singing almost within
reach above my head and then settled
upon a bleak stone but few feet dis
tant to finish his merry song
As | went on, numbers of these snow
buntings fitted about me, and hardly
had l gone a mile before my heart beat
quicker at the sight of traces of musk
oxen. AZ l got farther away from the
ice and in the lee of the gigantic mo-
raires and tumUli Of glacial debris,
flowers began to appear. purple and
white and yellow, among them ny
ever present brilliant yellow friend, TIE
arctic poppy. - Peary's "Eorthward

FEATHERED BAROMETERs.
saiIora WS.ued by Them of n Conn
ing Storm.


While a British brig was gliding
smoothly along before a good breeze ia
the south Pacific flock Of small birds
about the size, shape and color Of par
rakeets settled down in the rigging and
passed al hour or more Of resting. The
second mate was so anxious to find out
the species to which the visiting stIan-
gers belonged that he tried to entrap a
specimen, bat the birds were too shy to
be thus caught and too spry to be seized
by the quick hands of the sailors At
the end of about an hour the birds took
the brig's course and disappeared, but
toward nightfall they came back and
passed the night in the maintop.
The next morning the birds few off
again, and when they returned at noon
the sailors scattered some food about
the decks. BY this time the birds had
become so tame that they hoped about
the decks, picking up the crumbs. That
afternoon an astonishing thing happen
ed. The flock came flying swiftly to-
ward the brig. Every bird seemed to be
piping as if pursued by some little in
visible enemy on wings and they at
once huddled down behind the deck
house. The superstitiCus sailors at once
called the captain of the brig, who rub
bed his eyes and looked at the barome-
ter. A glance showed that something
was wrong with the eleme-ts, and the
brig was put in shape to outride
storm.
The storm came about 90 minutes
after the birds had reached the vessel.
For few minutes the sky was like the
waterless bottom of lake-a vast arch
of yellowish raud-and torrents of rain
fell. Why it did not blow very hard no
one knows, but on reaching port two
days later the captain learned that
great tornado had swept across that part
Of the sea. The birds left the vessel on
the morning after the storm and were
not seen again.-Marylan Bulletin.

land Navigation Co., and for fifteen years
was at my post as chief engineer on one of
their big passenger steamers. My first boat
was the K. n. Rice, which was burned at

the position of chief engineer on those big

held in the keeping of the engineer. Few
realize the dangers that might befall them,
and on the engineer depends the safety of the
passengers. The anxiety causes q great
nervous strain, and the strictest attention Is
necessary during the trip. Not for a me-
