were dining before going to an up town

oa,ested to hurry, but as he did not return
with the % change, nor could ne DC seen
anywhere in the room, the gentleman
heckoned to another waiter and told him
to look ND the other. After still longer
Se,av. the first waiter, looking glnm
enough, reappeared on the scene. "Wnere

THIEF REMEMBERED HIM.
Showed His Gratitude by Returning .
Watch He Had Stolen.


A rising young physician of West Phila.
delphia recovered his fnaoee's stolen watch
q few days ago in remarkable way. The
timepiece was present from the doctor
and was beautiful specimen of the jew
eler's art, the cases being blue enamel,
thickly set with diamonds and pearls. On
the inside of the case was picture of the
giver, photographed directly on the case,
and the engraved words, "From Ralph to
Grace.
Thanksgiving night the young couple
attended thenter and at the close of the
play joined the merry throng that was on
Chestnut street. Several turns up and
down were made, and it was late when
they arrived at the young woman's home.
In order to be sure of the time the girl felt
for her watch, which she usually wore
hooked on her coat, and found 1t gone. OF
course she was Mortified and started to cry,
but the doctor told her she probably had
lost it and that an advertisement would
bring its return. The lost and found col
umn was freely used, but without any re-
suit. The doctor had lost all hope when
last Wednesday morning he received
through the mail the missing watch and a
letter, which read:
DEAR DocToR-Inclosed find watch that
stole Thanksgiving night. On looking in the
case saw your picture and surmised that IT
was a gift from you to your sweetheart.
guess you don't remember saving the life OF a
man who had no money, but do and l can
find it in my heart to keep the watch.
A GRATEFUL MAN.
The doctor, who is noted for his charity,
says he has no recollection of the case in
question. Philadelphia Record.

Now York city Beyond spain's Reach,

The people of New York city need have
NO fear about being bombarded by Spanish
warships. The land Notifications around 1t,
without the assistance Of the navy, would
be ample protection against any fleet that
might be sent here. The guns of warship
like the Vixcaya cannot throw she'll
farther than eight miles, since 1t is impos'
sible to get very much elevation for an
eight or ten inch gun In the turrets Of q
ship.
No warship could lie outside the Mar
rows and shell New York, as some people
imagine for the distance is too great, and,
moreover, ship attempting to perform
any such unkind act would be under heavy
fire In close range Of the batteries Of Forts
Hamilton and Wadsworth, the latter OF
which has a commanding position well
suited to resist attacking warships. New
: York city Is to be congratulated upon the
means Of active defense available for SAFE

bullfightl The message from Assistant
General Passenger Agent Hawley Of the
Southern Pacific recently flashed into the
general offices Of the Morgan line in New
Orleans. 1t said that on such and such
train special Wagner car would arrive In
New Orleans bearing Mr.. Cardeza, bound
for Mexico City.
On the morning set for the arrival the
handsome piece Of Wagner property failed
to put In an appearance. A telegram q
few hours later conveyed the information
that a hot box had delayed the oar 10
hours. Harry Abbott was on hand when
the next New York limited pulled up to
the Morgan station and found the "pri-
waite" swung on to the rear of the regular
train. He boarded IL and looked about
for the occupants. But there was no one
In sight The parlor was empty and the
reception room was vacant. Then q porter
was finally aroused. He was asked to find
the temporary owner of the car. That dis
tinguished individual was located in the
reading room playing checkers with one
lone, solitary friend Mr.. Cardeza Is fine
looking young man, but upon the first
meeting he seemed considerably agitated
because he had been delayed 12 hours In
the schedule from New York.
"When will we get to Mexico?" he asked
almost before Abbott could introduce him.
self
"If you make good connections from
here on, you will land in the capital of
Mexico on Sunday morning about 10
o'clock, replied Mr.. Abbott.
That settled the curiosity of the New
Yorker. "If we make 1t by that hour, we
are all right" continued he. "We are 60
ing there to see a Sunday bullfght and
would not miss it for the world"
The car In which Mr.. Cardeza, who, by
the way, did not appear to be over 20 years
old, and his young friend, who did not
look day older, made this trip across the
continent must have cost him in the
neighborhood of $4,000. 1t required Is
first class tickets to bring 1t from New
York to New Orleans, and Is first class
tickets to carry 1t from here on west to
the destination, The railroad fare for the
two would be exactly $2,016.75, and the
charge by the Wagner company could not

GREAT BRITAIN AND HAWAII.

Ognized as Paramount.

ognized ~ Paramount.
The government of Great Britain is sur
prised at the report of the senate commit
tee on foreign relations, which, after pre-
senting a joint resolution for the annexa-
ton of Hawaii, set forth that Great Brit
ain was plotting for the absorption OF
Hawaii. A high official of the British for
eign Office said the other day:
at Is unfortunate that the committee
has such an erroneous impression. can
not imagine upon what supposed facts 1t
bases its report. 1t seems improbable
that the senator's would issue official state
ments on no other basis than rumors and
suspicions. AS matter of fact, nothing
Is further from Great Britain's intentions
than to interfere In any way with the ex-
listing regime in Hawaii. No steps In that
direction were ever contemplated. On the
contrary, her majesty's government has
recognized that the United States has the
foremost interest in Hawaii and that 1t Is
natural and inevitable that Hawaii should
be under American influence. New

grades are taking practical course in
banking, the object of which is to ia
miliarize the young folks with the methods
and principles of business as carried on In
this busy age.
"The city banks are cooperating with
the teachers and helping to make the in
struction thoroughly practical. AS re-
suit the pupils are making daily deposits
of play money in their school banks and
learning how to avoid the mistake people
often make who are not familiar with such
institutions. The idea is capital one and
should be employed In all city schools. In
its progressiveness 1t is akin to the plan OF
having the students read from daily news

neer Fred Dempsey, who will have
their trial at the September term of

Ainsworth, so the story goes,
