THE HOUSE THAT CANT BUILT.
 Chapter II.

"A thing begun is half done.' The house was now to rise as monument of MT. Gant's enterprise. It was not his intention to build a two-story house, but on the contrary he thought to build a one-story house, leaving the gables open for thorough circula- ton of air His idea was to secure the greatest coolness possible. Upon the convincing figures of Justice Mey- CTS, which showed that it would cost but little more, he dfcided to build

patch boat Wanda, off Havana, May
%. (Filed at Key West May 25.)-
At day break Monday morning the en-
tire squadron under Sampson was ly-
ing directly opposite the entrance Of
Havana harbor, about ten miles off
shore, a formidable, mouse-colored
fiotilla of battleships, monitors, cruis-
ers, yachts, lighthouse tenders and
torpedo boats. The peaceful inactiv-
ity noticed the day before on board
the vessels of the fleet had given way
to scenes of great life and hustle. The
decks of every ship swarmed with a
crowd of blue Jackets and white jack
cts. Around the fagships were a
score of launches and gigs from sur
rounding warships. They had brought
aboard the flagship the commanding
officers of their respective vessels,
where they had apparently been sum-
moned for orders. Half an hour later
the gigs and launches left the flagship
and returned with their officers aboard
their own vessels. Almost Immediate
ly thick columns of black smoke began
to pour from the smoke-stacks of the
assembled fleet and slowly the flagship
began to move eastward. A number
of vessels were left on blockade. Two
hours later a large double-masted
double funneled cruiser came
steaming under full head
way from the westward When
within hailing distance and without
slackening speed she exchanged sig
nails with the acting flagship off Ha-
vana. A string of colored bunting
was hoisted aloft on the fagship's
halyards and the cruiser pushed OF
east at full speed. Afterwards the

MAYBURY NOT FREE.
Old Charge of Having Run Shullsburg
Race Still Stands.

Chicago, May 26.-The graduate
committee of the western Inter-Col-
legiate Athletic association had before
it last night the protests against
James H. Maybury of the university
of Wisconsin on the charges of pro-
fessionalism. All protests were found
to be insufficient except that of ]. E.
Freeman, which if true, will bring
about the EXPULSION of Maybury from
amateur athletics. Freeman presents
a positive affidavit that on September
Fl, 1895, Maybury competed in a foot
race at Shullsburg for side bet 81, 100.
Maybury will be obliged to defend
himself before he completes in any
more amateur contests. The commit
tee will take final action on June 3,
when an investigation will also be
made of the charges against H. F.
COchems Of Wisconsin.

San Francisco, May ga start
was made for Manila late Wednesday
afternoon and the first American army
to sail for foreign shores is now on
the broad Pacific. A o'clock in the
afternoon Brigadier General An
derson signalled from the Australia
for the City of Pekin and the City of
Sydney to get under way. No time
was lost on board the transports. The
crews worked with a will and in a
short time the anchors we're up and
the vessels were under way. Then
$500 soldiers who had been inpatient
ly waiting the signal to start turned
themselves loose, climbed to the rig
ging, swarmed all over the big ships,
shouting and cheering like mad. The
big ships steamed slowly along the
water front and the crowd on shore
raced along to keep in sight. The
noise made by the patriotic citizens
on the seashore was deafening. Every
steam whistle in the city appeared to
be blowing and cannon were fired, the
din lasting fully an hour. AS the Aus
tralian passed the Alatrate ISL
ands, in the lead of the other
ships, the battery of the United States
artillery stationed there fired a salute
to General Anderson. It, was shortly
after o'clock when the vessels EN-
; tered the ocean and when last seen
the fleet was steaming slowly to the
southwest. In six days, if all goes
well, they will enter Honolulu harbor
and join the Charleston. It is thought
here that the fleet that left Wednesday
will not keep company with the
Charleston after leaving Honolulu.
All of the vessels carry enough coal
to steam at full speed from Honolulu
to Manila, while the Charleston in or
der to economic coal, will not go
faster than 10 knots an hour. The
! Charleston will probably arrive at
! Manila about June 20.

brown eyebrows to match her hair.
She is dressed in modest black, ex-
cepting her hat, which is adorned
along the edge with a multitude of
small purple flowers. The complaint
simply alleges that she deserted him
in January, 1897. Stocking is 81, and
they were married in April, 1896. Mrs.
Stockings answer is a formidable doc
ument. When she first met Mr..
Stocking she was but just graduated
from female seminary and knew
nothing of the world. He seemed to
be honorable, kind, cheerful, affection
ate. She reciprocated the interest he
evidenced in her; conceived sincere
affection for him and married him.
Soon after they were married she
charges that he commenced to treat
her with cruelty. He was not kind
and generous and high-minded. The
plaintiff employed himself in setting
tasks for her to perform. Among
these tasks was the nursing of
child by former marriage the daugh-
of his brother he took her to the same
hotel with his grown son, who was
suffering from consumption at Denver,
Col. She pleaded that she was not
equal to these unhappy ordeals, but in
vain. He was a man OF violent tenn
per, exceedingly jealous, defendant
says, and flew into violent passions

months of ceaseless pain and horrors
Mrs. Stocking says she left her hus-
| band. Mr. Stocking went to the wit
ness stand and told his story He
laid the trouble at the door of Mrs.
Barnet, the mother of Mrs. Stocking.
He related the handsome things he
had done for his young wife. The
hotels where they had stopped, the
handsome establishment on Summit
avenue, the carriage, the horses and
rugs were disclosed to the court. He
had been happy for some time after
the marriage. He thought his unhap-
piness dated from the day when in
Mrs. Barnet to her daughter, telling
her that she must come to st. Paul or
she would lose her social standing"
During the holidays, the plaintiff says
he received letter from his wife, and
Immediately decided to get divorce.
He went to lawyer. When the
epistle was read it was found to be
very pleasing, even loving. 1t ex-
pressed regret that Mr.. Stocking could
not join her at Cincinnati on Christ

said she wanted to stay for reception
which would come off few days la

IRENE suspense. After Cervera is
sealed up in Santiago harbor the prob

him. In any event Cervera, it is be-

Teller (sil rep, Col.) objected. Mr..
Daniel (dem Va J, in reiterating Mr..
Teller's objection, sounded the first
note of delay against the measure that
has been heard since the debate upon
it began. He declared that there was
no emergency which required the i'm
mediate passage of the bill, and frank
ly announced thai if certain provisions
suggested by the democrats of the
finance committee were not agreed to
by the senate, he would offer some
amendments to the measure that prob
ably would precipitate a debate. Mr..

that it was no part of his purpose to
prevent a full and free discussion Of
the bill, but he thought the measure
ought to be disposed of as soon as
possible. He gave notice that he
would endeavor hereafter to secure
longer sessions of the senate. Mr.
