CHAPTER XIII.

AT about half after o'clock that
evening the figures of two aged men
mounted the steps of one of the new
residences in West Thirteenth street,
near Eighth avenue.
Farnhall himself met them at the
door.
Come in," he said, with laugh.
81 suppose it is you, though I couldn t
swear to it. was awfully afraid you d
be late and get here after the Others.
81 knew the train they'd take, - an
swered Hendricks, and then he intro
duced DR.. Lampkin.
''Come right back into the dining
room,'' said the lawyer, shaking hands
with the doctor. II shall have to leave
you to yourselves, as / must look over
some documents before they arrive.
t'We can manage very we'll, +" replied
Hendricks. Don't let us disturb you. >
+ 81 presume if my plan succeeds that
you won't object to make the arrest. l
thought you would not, SO did not in
form the police. =
cit would be genuine pleasure, .
answered Hendricks; but, as | told you
the other day, don't believe you can
succeed. :"
Farnhall locked little crestfalIen.
'You don't think SC? And in Case [
fail suppose yea won't let me help
you in the plans you have in view.
''Sorry, but it is impossible" said
the detective. "You see, we are III dis
guise, and it would not do to run the
risk of adding another man. But shall
do all I can toward recovering the miss
ing papers.
Il am sure Of that said Farnhall.
"Well, amuse yourselves as we'll as yuu
can. If I fail, I'll let you know IL
stantly."
''Be sure to do that" cautioned
Hendricks. 81 want to follow them as
soon as they leave the house"
Half an hour later Hendricks and
Lampkin heard the front doorbell ring.
The detective sprang to the door Of the
dining room, drew aside the curtain
and peered cautiously into the hall.
Voices were heard exchanging greet
ings, and then they ceased as the draw
ing room door closed.
Hendricks turned to his companion.
GOOD SO farp' he calculated. 'They
are all here, every one of them. l was
afraid some one would back out on some
pretext or other
An hour passed. Not word was
spoken by the two men. Hendricks sat
at the open fire, his hands clasped ov ar
his knee. Suddenly he sprang up. They
had heard the door of the drawing
room open. The hall was filled with the
sound of footsteps and voices Then the
front door closed, and Farnhall came
into the room.
Il made an ass of myself he said.
''That fellow Ralph is young dare
devil. He dropped Oh to me in a very
short time and Knocked my feet from
under me. He offered to bet 1000
that 1 suspected one of them to be
guilty of the theft, and he laughed at
the idea of the papers having been
stolen. He said the old man had simply
mislaid them and that they would turn
up all right.
Hendricks did not seem to be listen
ing.
"Quick, doctorI'' he said. ''We must
be after them. Good night, FarnEall.
1 did not think your scheme would
work. "

More than 800, 900 will be at the
disposal of the Engineer Department
for the improvement of Boston Har-
Dor during the next fiscal year. This
will be sufficient to complete the en-
tire work and nothing remains but
for the engineers to enter into the
necessary contracts and urge on the
contractors. Through Mr.. Moody's
efforts the House Saturday afternoon
agreed to increase the appropriation
in the Sundry Civil bill from 100000
to $25O,OOO. This sum will be suffic-
lent to complete the ship channel, and
there is no good reason why the chan

Gallant Jewish Soldiers.

Col Teddy Roosevelt recently paid
quite a high compliment to several
Jewish soldiers in his command of
Rough Riders, who had distinguished
themselves in the battles around San
tiago. Biblical history is full of
heroism of the gucient warriors of
Jndea, and Judas Maccabeus was
a mighty one. General Leon JAS
tremski of the Shreveport Outlook
remarks that Rooseyelt's Jews are not
the first among their co-rel;gionists
who have battled nobly in American
armies. In the 10th Louisiana Regi-
ment, in our civil war, Captain Marks
was killed in the famous charge of
this command at the battle of Nal
vern Hill; Captain Cohen had his
head shattered by a shell at the Sec
ond battle of Manassas and Captain
[. L. Lyons, the modest and popular
wholesale druggist Of New Orleans,
served in the same command with
conspicuous gallantry throughout the
Virginia campaigns.
Right here at home we have one, a
modest old gentleman who was a gal
liant Confederate soldier and bore HIM
self nobly in all the trying events of
the late war-the venerable Solomon
Wise.

SANDER Severely Punished.

Judge Debaillon has in the case OF
Sevigne Babineaux, charged with hay
ing slandered Octave P. Guilbeau,
both residents of C~arencro, Lafayette
parish, administered a severe reproof
to that class of people who are always
gossipping about their neighbors.
The Gazette commenting on the
affair says: According TO Judge
Debaillon's decision Mr.. Babineaux
will be made to pay $500 as compen-
satory damages and $1,000 as punt
tive.
The charges which had been made
by Mr.. Babineaux were of a very
grave character and had they been
permitted to go unrefuted, were cal
culated to do no little injury to Mr..
Guilbeau and family.
The trial of this case, the manner
in which it was brought into court,
the severity of the punishment, will
have a wholesome effects People are
entirely too prone to speak i'll of 9th
ers. Men, and women too, give too
much freedom to their tongues and
often without any regard for the good
name of their neighbor, say things
which are untrue, and even if they
were true, can do no good to the one
who utters them or the one against
whom they are uttered.
Let this decision given by Judge
| Debaillon in the Observation-Disclosures
| case be a lesson to those who are in
clined to wag their slanderous tongues,
regardless of the feelings of Others
and the reputation of some man o.
woman who may have unwittingly in

Senator GafFery Against Annexation

Senator Caffery in q recent inter-

usual straight fo~rwardness and cam
dor. He says:
~ shall vote squarely against the
proposition to annex the Philippines.
The Peace Commission had no bust
ness to provide for the annexation Of
the Philippines. They did not nego-
tate for those islands; they simply
demanded the Philippines at the muz-
zle of a gun. 1t is a traVesty to call
the proceedings a negotiation. They
presented an ultimatum and told the
Spaniards to accept it. That is not a
negotiation. In the first place, the
islands were forced out of Spain, and
in the second place we would make a
bad bargain if Spain were to give US

ually work to the United States If we
incorporate them as a part of our ter
ritory.
what are your specific objections
to annexation?" Mr.. Caffery was
asked.
"In the first place it would involve
dishonor on our part. We would dis
honor our own declaration that we
went to war for humanity. Nobody
can show how humanity is involved in
stealing the Philippines from Spain.
The expansionists are dumb on that
point. In the second place, these is
lands would be the most expensive
gift that one nation ever received from
another. They can never be a source
of strength, while they will always be
an element of domestic weakness and
subject to attack in case of hostilities
with another nation. 1 candidly be-
lieve that the taking of the Philippines
would be a plunge into a policy which
if not checked, will wreck the repuh-
lic."
