LOVERS REUNITED.

A we11-known Lewiston young wom-
an sat alone portion of the evening at
the performance of grand opera re-
Gently, but by her side was q vacant
seat on the aisle.
At the end of the third act along
the aisle on the opposite side of the
house passed a familiar figure, that of
one of the best known young gentle
men in Lewiston-one who has no end
of friends and acquaintance and whose
business evidently had detained him
until this time.
He walked down the row correspond
ing to that in which the young lady sat
and by strange coincidence there
were two vacant seats evidently CORE
spending to his own.
But these were both vacant, while ev-
identity he had anticipated that one
should be occupied.
He looked surprised, but he sat down
"A disappointed look upon his face, a
far-oH meet-me-at-the-opera expression
that was full of sorrow and regret.
If, however, he was disappointed,
everyone else was amused, and no one
more so than the charming young lady
who was waiting for him on the Apo
site side of the house. She saw him, and
while of course it was not good form
to express 1t, she was undoubtedly ex-
tremely anxious to give him intimation
of her whereabouts.
AS for him, he settled back and tried
to become profoundly immersed in the
drop curtain. He studied it deeply. He
pulled off his gloves and wiped his brow
with his handkerchief.
Every body became interested.
The young woman looked across and
became uneasy-just trif1e. She, too
studied the drop curtain. Moments
passed that seemed like hours. Friends
behind her spoke and remarked that il
was sad to see what difference had
sprung up between them. She smiled
and said that she feared that so far as
she was concerned it was insurmount
able at the present time.
What the young gentleman thought
is not known. Whether he feared that
the young lady had been kidnapped OF
had sunk through the floor is not
known, but we do know that suddenly
omething inspired him to look abroad,
and lol the world seemed brighter and
there was a. hasty passage up one aisle
and down another and a reunion and
happy smile on the faces of all.

sat behind, ct don't believe anyone was

A MODERN DEPOT.
Kansas City's Structure Will Be Re
modelled at Once.

General Manager J. J. Frey of the
Santa Fe attended a meeting of rep
resentatives of the Kansas City roads
at Kansas City yesterday, called for
the purpose of considering plans for
the remodeling of the Kansas City
Van Brunt & Howe were approved, and
the architects were instructed to COM
plete the drawings and arrange for the
letting of contracts at once.
When the improvements are COM
p1eted the accommodations at the
union depot will be much more ade-
quate to the business carried on there.
The lower part of the building is to be
remodeled into waiting rooms to cover
the entire ground floor. The dining
room is to be changed to the second
story and deliberately finished and fur
nished. Communication with the Sec
ond story is to be had by grand
stairway, which will reach the plat
form about where the main entrance
from Union avenue now is There will
also be several elevators. A viaduct
about twenty-four feet wide will be
constructed from the Ninth street cable
line terminal across to the second story
of the depot. This passageway will
relieve the public of the necessity of
using the stairway leading from the
Ninth street station to Union avenue,
as is required at present to get to the
depot.
In the central part of the second
story a large waiting room for ladies,
with all the necessary toilet cOnven-
fences, will be one of the much needed
acquisitions. The telegraph offices,
lunch counters, check and fruit stands
will be concentrated in one of the south
waiting rooms, while the ticket office,
which will be greatly improved, will be
located in the main waiting room on
the street side of the building. A COW
cred carriage driveway will be run the
full length of the west side of the build
ing, and on the top of this will be an
open terrace, accessible from the ladies'
waiting room. The gate system is to
be inaugurated and passengers can
only reach the trains by passing
through one of the gates leading to the
platform. The cost of the improve
ments is not to exceed $500

Seal Fisheries Litigation Passed Upon
by the Supreme Court.

Washington, June 1.-The Alaskan
seal fisheries question was threshed
over in a reversal of the judgment of
the circuit court of appeals for the Sec
ond circuit by the supreme court today
in the case of the North American
Commercial company, plaintiff in error.
versus the United States. The supreme
court in reversing the lower judgment
remands the case with a direction to
enter judgment in favor of the United
State for $76,678 with interest from
April l, 1894, and to enter judgment
in favor of the United States in the
counter claim. The action was brought
by the government to recover $132, 1877
with interest for rent reserved for the
year ending April 1, 1894, under a So
called lease made the treasury depart
ment to this company for royalties of
$500 fur seal skins taken and shipped
by the company hereunder and for the
revenue tax of two dollars on each
skin. The court says that when the
number of seals that might be killed
agent, the company was entitled to
such reduction in the rental reserved
as might be proper and that the rule
would be a reduction in the same pro-
portion as the number of skins permit
ted to be taken bore to the maximum.
This would reduce the total to the
amount now allowed. The company
also claimed a government liability to
it in damages of $2S7 ,255 for skins it
could have taken without injury to the
seal herd, but which it was prevented
from taking by the United States,
which contention the supreme court
holds can not be maintained. The seal
fisheries of the Pribyloff islands, the
court says, were a branch of commerce
and their regulation involved exercise

riders have elaborated and will follow
application is quite unique. They are
not to charge as an ordinary cavalry
regiment would, for their fighting will
be done, not with the saber, but with the
rife-the weapon they can use with
most certainty. One man will hold the
horses of three of his comrades while
they dismount and engage the enemy.
In this way not more than three
fourths of the regiment will be in bat
tie at any one time, but it is expected
that this arrangement will add SO much
to the effectiveness of those who are to
fight that it will more than compensate
for what amounts practically to the
withdrawal of one-fourth of their
number. They are armed with the

Krag-Jorgensen carbine, and revolvers,
without which no cowboy would be
complete even in time of peace. And
instead of the regular cavalry sword,
which is rather an unwieldy instrument

its use, the rough riders have adopted

merely as possible dependence should
ammunition fail, or hand-to-hand en-
counter with the cavalry of the enemy
occur. In the development of this plan
OF action it can be seen that Col. Wood
and Lieut.. Col. Roosevelt in the tactics
they propose to employ will follow
closely that used by the mounted rifle
men of the revolution. It was band
of this sort that after ride of 60 miles

Rough Riders" or more simply still.
"Teddy's Terrors," is made up almost
entirely of cowboys, with a small
sprinkling of society men who have
both fondness and an aptitude for
Craftsmanship, which heretorfore has
found no other outlet than that offered
by the hunting field and the polo
ground.
The men enrolled, however, whether
cowboy or millionaire, were carefully
selected with a view to their physical
fitness for the work they must perform,
and this promises to be hazardous
enough, as the regiment will be used
principally in scouting and service of a
similar sort, with an occasional dash
into the enemies lines. Indeed, there is
every indication that the trough rid
ers" will have all the hard riding and
hard fighting they long for.
In organization the regiment is not
widely different FRONT the famous Texas
