Then l led him straight out Of the
inclosure and, much to the surprise Of
all who met US thus arm in arm, took
the princely stable boy to my hotel and
heard all he had to tell.
There was nothing very new In his
story. He had been wandering up from
the coast incognito, meaning to seek
adventure in the farthest limits, when
he had fallen in with these vagabond
traders and had been attracted by the
pretty Yvette, who had laughed him to
scorn, then dragged him at her apron
strings, hopeless and lovesiok youth,
prepared to play any part, accept any
rough and ignoble work, only to be near
her and press his still unrequited suit.
Della Croce must have seen him when
passing through Biskra. Prince Stanis-
las remembered the man, had met him
one day in the bazaar and had some diff

Out of this the whole plot had grown.
1t originated no doubt with Della Crooe,
but it must have been aided and devel-

But my task was not quite ended yet.

Prince Stanislas from his inamorata.
He refused at first point blank to leave
the van. 1t was not until I took these
good folk-true Bohemians, yet in their
way honorable, fair dealing Biscayans
into my confidence that succeeded
in getting him away.
The mother, with her strong, harsh
voice, clinched the matter at once.

MORMONS ARE INCREASING.

Charles ID. McCracken, Of Salt Lake City,
Talks on the Missionary Work of Brig
ham Young's Followers.
Charles D. McCracken, prominent
attorney at Salt Lake, Utah, was in
Plttsburg yesterday on his way to Now
York, and while waiting for train
talked Interestingly on the growth of
Mormonism in the west, both within
and beyond the limits of Utah. He
said that within the last three years
the Mormon Church had placed many
missionaries in the field, sending over
half of them east of the Mississippi.
The results have been surprising, and,
according to recent statistics prepared
by one of the heads of the Church,
there has been surprising number of
converts in this section of the coun-
try.
II ain not Mormon" said Mr.. Nc
Cracken, "although in sympathy with
many of the teachings of the faith.
Many of my friends are followers of
Brigham Young, and, as matter of
course, Salt Lake is Mormon city.
But even in the very centre of the
Church's existence it is remarkable
how it has gained strength and mum.
bers during the past decade. 1 went
to Utah in 1887 from Elgiu, III. 1t
was matter of health. Now would
rather live there than in the east.
"The one obnoxious element of Nor
monism is polygamy, and know that
many consistent believers would gladly
have it eliminated from the teachings
of the Church. These are in the mi
uority, however, and I frankly believe
poly gamy is more widespread today
than it was 10 years ago. There are
many devious ways of evading the
law. The courts have no desire TO
combat the Mormon Church so long as
the national government will not make
an aggressive fight. Now and then a
man has been arrested and even i'm
prisoued for polygamy, but the instan-
ces are growing rare.
II believe this is one of the serious
questions that will confront the coun-
try before long. The activity of the
Church in sending missionaries east is
becoming more and more pronounced.
The first efforts of these representa-
tives were much more successful than
was anticipated. Converts have come
into Utah in surprising numbers, and
in many cases they have added wealth
rs we'll as numbers to the Church. As
I said, there are some elements in the
Mormon faith tha! believe in, and
that many other transplanted citizens
of Utah accept, but polygamy is not
one of them.
"This is the one stumbling block. 1
would not be surprised to see the issue
cause split in the Church eventually.
1t has got to come down to the ques-
ton of either abolisbing polygamy
entirely or making stand-up fight for
it. Past promises have not been kept,
for the highest officials in the Church
openly countenance it. Not only this,
but some of the best known residents
of Salt Lake, pillars of the Church, as
we'll as of the municipal government,
have more than one wife and make no
secret of it. They do not all live to-
gether, but that makes no difference.

New York Sun.
Sanitary Inspector w. F. Brunner,
marine hospital service, who was sta
toned at Havana prior to the war, has
made his first report to the marine
hospital bureau siuce the lifting OF the
block ade at that port. 1t is for The
week ending October 9Th, the deaths
in Havana in that period numbering
536. a greater mortality than during
any week of the year previous. Nine
deaths were due TO yellow fever and
three to starvation. Referring to the
condition of the reconcentrados, he
says it is appalling, conservative esti-
mate placing nearly SO per cent. OF
their number as permanent physical

There has been no deaths from small
pox in two weeks, and there are but
few cases here. The city is even dirtier
than ever, if such a thing could be
possible. The rains continue to fall III
the afternoon about four days in each
week. Yellow fever does not exist to
the same extent as it has existed dur
ing the past two years, the reason be-
lug that during the past eight or
months but little material has been
present on which the fever could
feed. But few Spanish soldiers were
brought here between January l
and April 81, the latter date being the
day when this port was closed TO the
outside world. Since the opening OF
the blockade probably 200 Americans
have arrived here, of which number
about one-half remain. Four deaths
from yellow fever have occurred among
these Americans during the past two
months"

A live lizard over an inch in length
was disgorged the other day by James
Sausser, near Easton. The little
creature jumped about at great rate.
Sausser for three years has been a

was stomach trouble. During the
past six months he suffered terribly,
and gradually lost in weight until he
was mere skeleton. He had Sc

Job printers all over the country
are now exercising their ingenuity
in designing patriotic stationery,
and it begins to look as if each hero
of the war would receive recognition
from the stationer before Congress
could vote him medal. Dewey,
Hobson, Shafter, Schley, and Samp-
son now figure on letter paper, and
all sorts of patriotic designs are used
to decorate envelopes. These de-
signs show the stars. and stripes in
tertwined with the lone star of
"Cuba Libre," " American flags with
battleship in vignette, surmounted
by the American eagle; the Union
Jack of England and the stars and
stripes intertwined. This latter
design has been popular in Canada
ever since war was declared and it
has been utilized on Canadian postal
cards. These patriotic designs are
printed expensively in bright colors,
and on cheap note paper they are
printed merely in black and white.
They will boom the collections of
people who have a fancy for collect
ing letterheads. Many such de-
signs were issued during the Civil
war, and some of them of rude con-
struction, were placed on envelopes
mailed at the front.

May Pay in Cash.

The new revenue law, which re-
quires all checks to be stamped,
may result in a complete change in
the system of paying the employees
of the Reading Co. The hands of
the Reading, including the men en-
ployed in the mines, and railroad
and shops, will require in the
neighborhood of $4,000 checks.
This would cost the company $40
per month, in case it would be re-
quired to pay for the cent stamp
placed on each. In view of this
additional expense, it is probable
that the company will distribute the
cash. To do this it will be neces-
sary to put the money up in pack
ages before starting out.
1t is reported that the Lehigh
Valley company will pay its en-
ployes in cash. The Pennsylvania
railroad paid with checks this month
at a cost of $1,000 for revenue
stamps.

SHE WAS "PINING."

One of the soldiers from nearby
town, now down in Georgia, wrote to
a friend at home last week as follows:
"Dear-. l wish you would look
after my girl. She likes company and
1 am afraid she will either pine away
or hunt another fellow if some good
friend don't look after her a bit. Do
this for me and l will do as much for
you some time if I ever get the
chance"
The friend at home that very night
started out to ''look after" the poor
girl and found her "pining." He
took her out to a restaurant>and look
ed after her some When the waiter
brought in the check he saw he was
just out $I.65 and now says some of
IS other friends can step in to
help keep his glrl from "pinlng," as
his salary will not stand such on
slaughts.

Dwight Galloupe, chaplain 24th

proving the utter disregard of the
Spaniards for the Red Cross flag.
He says:
"On the afternoon of the ard, I
was visiting the wounded in an
hospital tent near point where the
firing was the hottest. ALieutenant
whose name I do not know, was in
the other end of the tent, looking
at some of his men. Suddenly a
she'll came through the tent and ex-
ploded. That officer was torn into
shreds. I was hurled fully fifty
feet, and injured as you see, and
every man in the tent thrown from
his cot.
"The Spaniards took special de-
light in firing upon our field hospi-
tai. We had to move it several
times on that account. One of the
surgeons was killed while dressing
the wound ofa soldier. In the hasty
retreat which the eneny's fire made
necessary from the first hospital a
lot of our men were left behind, and
all of them were killed.
