but he failed, and the failure disap
pointed and irritated him.
He tried to be vexed with her in nj!
thoughts, but he only succeeded in feel
ing dissatisfied, and he could not shake
off the impression that in some way Il
was an i'll omen not to have Beryli
good word.
Throughout the time that followed
Beryl did her utmost to mislead other
as to her real opinions. Lady Walcott
came to see her, and she went to th'
manor just as usual, and even the close
and loving intimacy which existed be-
tween the two women never led Berry
to say word other than that she hat
always tried to carry out the arrange
ment for the sake Of the family inter
ests, but that it was a relief to her tt
have an end put to it. Lady Walcote al
first questioned this and made bel
doubts plain enough, but Beryl held tt
her position and in the end prevailed.
What did more than anything else
however, to make the girls real feel
ings difficult to understand was her at
titude toward Lola herself. She acted
precisely as she might have done had
there never been any idea that she her
self should marry Sir Jaffray, and sht
bore herself toward Lola as though the
latter, by her engagement to the baron
ct, had become member Of the innel
circle of the family and was therefore
to be treated as an intimate.
She was neither so cordial at first
that people could think she was seeking
to hide any modification under thai
cover nor 80 distant as to suggest hos
tility toward the girl who had sup
planted her. She allowed the relation!
between them to develop naturally, ane
she drilled herself to take keen inter
est in all the preparations for the mar
riage.
In this way she completely baffled
Lola herself, quick and shrewd though
the latter was. She could not under
stand that any woman who had really
loved a man could see him taken away
from her and yet harbor no angel
against the woman who had taken him
IF she'd done it to me, I'd have poi
soned herl'' she exclaimed to herself
more than once after she had beer
watching Beryl closely and had beer
more puzzled than usual. "She CAM
have cared for him, or she's the mos
artful devil that ever wore petticoats.
In time she came to the conclusion
that Beryl's calmness was not. as sht
had thought at first, mask, but TIT
natural expression Of woman who hae
no deep feelings to stir or in whom they
had never been stirred
Thus during the preparations for the
wedding the two girls were much to
gether, and when people knew tba
Beryl was to be the chief bridesmaid
and that she and Lady Walcote were al
keenly interested in all the details o.
the wedding as Lola herself, they reat
Beryl's conduct from the surface ane
agreed that she and not Sir Jafray wa

filed Judge Simonton granted rule
against the defendants, requiring them
to show cause why temporary writ
of injunctions should not be granted,
and at the same time he made re-
straining order to the following effect,
to wit Epjoining the defendants from

sit or after arrival, or otherwise car

The story is told Of Chief Baron
O'Grady who was trying case in an
assize town where the courthouse abut-
ted on to the fair green and a. fair was
in progress. Outside the court were
tethered a number of asses. AS coun-
sci was addressing the court, one Of
these began to bray. Instantly the
Chief Baron stopped the speaker. Wait
a moment, Mr.. Bushe; l can't hear two

vocate grew red. But presently, when
it came to the summing up, the Judge
was in full swing, when another ass
struck in-whether by the counsels s

Brilliant Ceremony Marks the
Final Session.

RFRLIN. May 6.-The ceremony OF
closing the session of the Relchslas
tool, MACE to-day in the White Hall OF
the Roval Castle. The ceremony was
as brilliant as usual, and was attendeo
by the high military and naval authorl-
ties and the high State officials.
Emperor William, wearing the uni
form of the Imperial Guards and sur
rounded by the Princes now III bef-
lin and by a brilliant STAFF, READ the
speech from the throne, which was IRE
Quently cheered.
The Emperor, after referring TO the
fruitful legislative results Of the ses-
sion including the increases or the
army and navy, whereby the peaceful
security Of the empire and an in
creased guarantee of the maintenance
of European peace had been secured
Iemphasized the pacific character of the
German foreign policy, while at the
same time vigorously protecting Ter
man rights
Referring to the war between Spain
and the United States, his majesty

In regard to the Chinese question:

sometimes cylinders, fiat squares, or
cubes. If uneompressed and dry, the
guncotton would be extremely light,
weighing no more than ordinary cotton
batting, but when made. into the above
forms it is compressed to the density
of about l, or in other words to a
density of an equal amount of water.
The percentage of moisture remaining
in the guncotton when it is packed into
torpedoes varies between Is and 80.
So safe from explosion, unless de-
tonated, is a brick of wet guncotton
that it may be placed upon hot Goals.
As the moisture dries off from the out
side the cotton flakes off and burns up
quietly. Perfectly dry guncotton, when
confined in a strong case, will explode
with great violence if exposed to a
temperature of about $40 degrees
Fahrenheit
Detonation, or the firing of explo-
sives by intense shock, is a modern
method, for until thirty years ago the
application Of heat was always used to
bring about an explosion. 1t has now
been discovered that detonation pro-
duces more powerful effect than ex-
plosion by means of heat. In decorating
llIE wet Su0cOLtOn IN the tOfpeuO ueduS,
the primer of dry guncotton which is
used weighs only a pound or thereabout.
It is placed in contact with the wet
mass, which in a Whitehead torpedo
consists usually of about 2oO pounds.
! Then, by means of fuse and illuminate
of mercury cap, flame is shot through
/ the disk of dry guncotton. This eX-
plodes instantly and with it the entire
mass of the wet cotton, producing tre-
mendous results The question of pre-
cisely how detonation takes place-that
| is. how so small an initial explosion can
suffice to decompose an unlimited guam
| tity of high explosives behind it - has
caused much argument and many
speculations. Bertelot gives as an ex-
PLANTATION that ''the shock of the pr1-
mary explosion communicates to the
layer of molecules in the immediate
proximity an enormously active force,
whereby the molecular edifice' is
shaken to pieces and the initial force
is augmented to a degree corresponding
| to the heat evolved by decomposition.
A new shock is thereby produced in the
next layer, and the action is repeated
and so propagated until the whole
molecular system is completely de-
stroyed "-Springfeld Republican.

WASHINGTON, May GA bill
granting the Santa Fe and Grand Can
yon Railroad Company right of way
through the Grand Canyon forest reser-
walton, in Northern Arizona, was
passed.
In requesting aconference upon PEN
sion bill, Gallinger of New Hampshire,
Chairman of the Pension Committee,
said that the House had tacitly adopt
ed a rule that in cases where the widow
of a general officer had no pensionable
status in the Pension Department no
pension exceeding $50 a month would
be granted, but in such cases where a
pension was already being received the
pension might be increased to $50 a
month
Gallinger made the statement, he
said in order that the Senate might
realize the futility of pressing for pen
sions of SO or 500 a month
The consideration of the Postoffice ap-
preparation bill was resumed, the pend
ing question being upon the amendment
offered yesterday by Pettigrew of South
Dakota providing for a reduction of 20
per cent. in the amount paid to rail-
roads for the transportation Of the
mails.
After the reading of the statements
by the clerk Quay said the adoption Of
Pettigrews amendment would result in
reducing the compensation Of the rail-
roads So, 100000, without any evidence
as to the results-or righteousness of the
action. He maintained that the inves-
tigation authorized by the pending bill
ought to be made before any action was
taken.
Pettigrew maintained, in the course
of an analysis of the mail and express
statistics, that the Government paid ten
times as much for the transportation of
the mails as the express companies
paid for the transportation of their
matter. He Illustrated what he termed
the fallacy, folly and falsehood' of
the statements of Shallenberger before
the committee, by presenting express
and mail transportation figures. Shall
lenberger said he was an honest man,
he believed. but he had been imposed
upon by subordinates in the depart
ment who had obtained their places
through railroad influence in the two
last administrations. No better officials
could be obtained until every one of
those fellows were turned out and a
new crop put in."
At the conclusion of Pettigrew's
speech Quay had the pending bill tenn
porarily laid aside, in order that a bill
for the establishment of Postoffices in
the military posts or camps might be
considered Immediately.
A communication from Postmaster
General Emory Smith was read. It re-
quested that the proposed measure be
made an amendment to the Postoffice
bill, but Quay expressed the belief that
it would be better to pass it as sepa-
rate measure.
Upon the objection of Pasco of Flor
ida the bill went over.
Consideration Of the Postoffce appro-
priation bill was then resumed.
Faulkner of West Virginia presented
a strong argument against the Petit
grew amendment, and he declared that

WASHINGTON. May 6-The Senate
Committee on Finance to-day resumed
consideration of the revenue bill Ihe
Democrats had prepared some amend
ments they will offer, and these, with
other questions, will be taken up 1or
consideration.
The committee devoted it's forenoon
session to the consideration of num-
Der of amendments suggested by the
Republican members to the schedule
devoted to stamp taxes There were
a large number of these amendments
many of them dealing with the phrase
ology of the bill and others with the
rates. There is a general effort to tlnd
an effective way of taxing contracts
for future" sales, and the indications
are that some amendments in TINS ol-
rection will be made. Senator Wol-
colt Of Colorado offered some amend
ments on this subject, in addition 10
those proposed by his Republican col
leagues.
The Democrats presented thelf
amendment for a tax on corporations
but it was not taken up for considera-
ton. This amendment includes a tax
on insurance and gas companies.
