Several complaints have been made
recently by residents, in the Cooper
block" on Eighth street that the milk
left at their doors was being stolen.
Watch was Kent but up to yesterday
morning was unavailing Yesterday
morning about i.3O o'clock. one Of the
persons concerned was discovered go
ing the rounds and patrolman Peters,
who has tha West Lackawanua avenue
post. made the arrest. He was sur
pris,d to find that his prisoner was It
woman and that she already had tWo
pint bottles Of milk in her possession.
The prisoner was given a hearing be-
fore Alderman Davies lator in the day.
She admitted her guilt but absolutely
refused to give h,r name ~ place of
res idrnCr. She is neatly dressed in
dark costume. fairly good looking and
of medium stature, and saws she is
married Unless she changes from her
present ohstinaCN. she will be sent to
IN" county Jail this morning. Tn"
persons from whom tho milk was stolen
did not know her and when any ON"
came near tho cen she hid her face.
II seems that the cbscnCe of the pa
trulmaE at this particular point aud
the time Of the milk delivery Wer"
well known e. be ubout the same and
also If any one was Watching this also
WAS known. Yesterday, however Il
chang" of times was made and the
scheme worked to = nicaty. The "un-
known was not at all excited when
arrested and apparently has not bran
SO since.

A SUFFERING SAINT.
Continued from 7th Page.

down, red as burning brand quenohed
In the river. The shadow folded about
her like garment. All the little house
was still as death. The cool and dewy
air was soft with the fragrance of the
flowers that came to her in faint and
honeyed watts. A drowsy mist OF stars
hardly disturbed the darkness of the
night. There was no sound but the
tapping of the river and now and then
the village clock that tolled the hour
or the quick wrangle of some neighbours
clock through the open windows. Every
once in awhile she went round and
looked in and saw Humphrey still
sleeping. A light wind came futtering
about her-the dawn had stirred in the
night. AS she sat upon the low step,
not conscious of being tired or sleepy,
only conscious of listening, il was all
so sweet and still and solemn, it seemed
as if the night itself were a communion
with unknown force. Its peace entered
into her soul. She felt as though she
leaned her head on the breast of her
Heavenly Father. A little bird piped
beside his nest. A trill answered it. All
the unseen world was awake with wild
music. Through the clear dark across
the water came the rhythmical rowing
of oars. She stole round again in tender
fright, but Humphrey was still sleep
ing. A dream of light rather than light
itself had interfused the dusk. 1t grew
with slow pulse and yelling till gray
was gold and gold was rose and rose
was silver blue. swelling like the pre-
lude to great music, as if day had never
been before. Everything was dripping
aud shaking and sparkling with dew.
The bright light breeze went rioting in
the leaves No one stirred. She had the
day as the night alone to herself. 1.-THE
Lords been good TO me-" said Sally
Lavender. Hes give me real season
of peace.
She waited till Tom Brier came

munition expended and the amount to

Since reaching this place and hold
ing conversation with several OF the
captains. viz, Captain Eulate. of the
Vizcaya. and the second in command
OF the Colon, Commander Contreras,
have learned that the Spanish adj
mirars scheme was TO concentrate all
fire for a while on the Brooklyn. and
the Vizcaya to ram her, in hopes IL
they could destroy her the chance OF
escape would be increased, as IL was
supposed she was the swiftest ship of
your squadron. This explains the heavy
fire mentioned and the Vizcaya's ac-
ton in the earlier moments Of the en-
gagement. The execution OF this pur-
pose was promptly defeated by the fact
that all the ships of the squadron adj
vanced into close range and opened an
irrisistibly furious and terrific fire
upon the enemy's squadron as it was
coming out of the harbor.
am glad to say that the injury
supposed to be below the water line was
due to a water valve being opened from
some unknown cause and flooding the
compartment. The injury to the belt
is found 10 be only slight and the leak
small.

nau sometimes asked help or Tom. ana
he brought q ladder round to the back
of the house and held it and looked the
other way while she found her way in
at an upper window. Then she slipped
down the stairs and closed the bedroom
door and noiselessly lighted her fire
and set the meat to simmer for his
strong rich broth and washed and re-
freshed herself and allowed herself q
long, sweet slumber on the lounge. She
crept by and by into the bedroom where
Humphrey still slept, although stirring
now and then, and held cup of broth
to his lips, her arm under his pillow,
and he drank it without unclosing his
eyes. She gave it to him SO twice or
thrice during the day, and piece by
piece, slowly, and at long intervals, she
removed his clothes, and with cautious
lifting and tugging of all her poor lit
tie strength had him decently in bed,
and she took her own morseI of food
and lay down outside and waited.
There was peace in her heart. There
was even deep, still joy as she thought
OF the grass growing on the little grave
where Polly lay-the child for whom
she had feared the fathers fate, and
whom, while her heart half broke with
love and longing, she had been glad to
lay away before the trouble could come
upon her.
The day went by like the marching
OF an enemy's army. All the village
kept quiet about her door. Friends and
neighbors knew it was Humphreys
time Of slumber now. The children's
laughs and cries were far away. Even
the bees and birds made drowsy music.
When faroff in the twilight the whip
poorwills began to sing, she laid her
own weary head upon the pillow, lis
tened a moment TO the deep, calm
breathing beside her and fell asleep.
1t was in the dead Of the dark that
she awoke with two arms around her
and rough cheek resting on her own,
rough cheek wet with tears. "Wifei''
whispered Humphrey "Wifei I'm all
right. Yes, be. But kind OF feel ez
though I'd been dragged through seven
cities, and ez though you'd had tug Of
1t, too, Sally. Hev / ben abusin of you,
mother? Was it one Of the bad ones?''
And Sally pressed her cheek closer.
"There, there, D." she laughed and cried.
'Twarn't nothin at all to speak of. &"

There is more Catarrh in this section
Of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease. and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
menE, pronounced it incureble. Science
has proven catarrh to be a constitu-
tioDal disease, and, therefore requires
constitutional treatment
Halls Catarrh Cure manufactured
by f. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is
the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. 1t acts
directly on the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system. They offer one
hundred dollars for any case it fails to
cure. Send for circulars and testimo-
mails. Address,
