from which he was awakened by the
opening of the door of his dungeon and
the entry of priests, grim and silent
men, who seized and blindfOlded him.
Then they led him up many stairs and
along paths so steep that from time
to time they paused to rest. till at
length he knew, by the sound of voices,
that he had reached some place where
people were assembled. Here the band-

those who stood near seized and held
him. Presently he saw why they had
done so, for he was standing on the
brink of a great precipice at the back
of and dominating the city, while, far
beneath him, was a rocky rift, along
which ran the trade road to the coast.
Here upon this dizzy spot was a wide

THE SACRILEGE OF ARIEL

How long he lay in the dungeon. lost
in bitter thought and tormented by
fears for ELISA. Aziel could not tell,
for no light came there to mark the
passage of the hours. In the tumult of
his mind one terrible thought grew
clear; he and ELISA had been taken
red-handed, and must pay the price of
their sin against the religious customs
of the city. For the Baaltis to be
found with any man who was not her
husband meant death to her and to
him, doom from where there was lit
tie chance of escape. To his own fate
he was Indifferent. but for ELISA and
Issachar he mourned bitterly. Truly
the Levite and Metem had been wise
when they cautioned him, for her sake
and his own, to have nothing to do
with a priestess of Baal. But he had
not listened; his heart would not let
him listen. and now. in the fullness of
their youth and love, the lives of both
of them were forfeited.
Worn out with sore and vain regrets,
Aziel fell at length into heavy sleep,

CORNELL, COLUMBIA AND .. OF P. Triangular Freshman Race Postponed
 Because of Rough Weather.

Saratoga, N. Y, June 30.-The tri- angular freshman two-mile race which was to have been rowed at o'clock this afternoon was postponed until 10:30 tomorrow forenoon. There was two reasons for this--there was a strong southerly wind blowing straight down the course and the stake boats dragged their anchors. It was decided to await until 7:3o if necessary for the wind to abate. In the mean time extra weight was added to the anchors and an endeavor was made to bring the boats into alignment. This worked with poor success. The Colum- bia launch and that of the Quakers carrying the judges and referees went up the course to assist, followed by the press boat. The wind still held stiff and at 6:45 the Columbia launch steamed past the grand stand an- nouncing the decision to postpone the contest till 10:30 tomorrow. There will be two contests tomorrow, the varsity being scheduled for o'clock. Both promise exceptionally good sport. The Cornell varsity has decided lead in the betting. Betting on the fresh- men contest continues tonight at the bookmakers' stands at even on Cor nell against the field; 6 to 5 against Columbia and to 1 against Pennsyl- vania. No big bets have been record- ed and few Wagers have been laid on the varsity race. Tomorrow will un- doubtedly find big crowds in town.

THE HAWAIIAN MINISTER
EConfers With Acting Secretary of State | Regarding Annexation.

Washington, June 30.-Mr. Hatch, the Hawaiian minister, conferred with Mir. Moore, acting secretary of state to-day presumably with reference to the meth cd to be adopted of putting into effect in Hawaii the pending annexation bill, which is supposed to be approaching a final passage. It is desirable that the earliest possible notice of the approval of the annexation be conveyed to Ha- waii, so it is probable that the govern ment will charter some speedy vessel to hasten to Honolulu with the official news. One reason for making haste is the fact that the Hawaiian congress must ratify the annexation bill as the regular session of the Hawaiian con- gress will expire by limitation soon. The state department hopes that some members of the opposition In the senate will conclude that annexation is inevit- able and will consent to vote for the annexation treaty.

 General Shafter left his ship to-day and took up his quarters with General Wheeler at the front. His appearance there gave rise to the rumor that an attack on Santiago would occur to- morrow but, the staff officers tonight say it is impossible to get the army Tn shape to strike a blow for several days. About 2,000 troops are camped -Four miles east of the besieged city and the remainder of the forces stretch along the road from there to Juragua and

4 DOUBLE SHOOTING,
Mysterious Shooting Affray in Boston
 One Man Killed,

Boston, June 90.-A double shooting attack occurred here this afternoon in a store in which sale of firearms was taking place, which resulted in the death of Carl J. Hersom of Chelsea and serious wounds to Harry c. Ken nington of Dedham. A clerk named Carroll Melchor was showing a revol- yer to Remington on one side of the store when suddenly there was a loud report and Hersom, who was looking at a revolver in the rear of the store, dropped to the floor, shot through the brain. Remington was wounded in the mouth. Whether the revolver was in the hands of the customer or in the hands of the clerk is not exactly clear
 Remington was sent to the Massa- chusetts general hospital. His injuries are painful and will probably cause a permanent disfigurement, but are not dangerous. Hersom was taken to the Emergency hospital, where he died shortly after his arrival The clerk was arrested. although the witnesses assert that the affair was accidental.

REV. DIR. GILBERT PROTESTS. Wishes That "Remember the MaiMe' be Eliminated from Fourth Programme.

 The Fourth of July general commit .tee held a. meeting last evening. It was reported that one hundred chil- dren would take part in the tableaux ,to be given on the Green on the even- fings of July 5 and in connection with the electric display. The committee needs more money and sub-commit- tee consisting of Major Ludington, D. H. Clark and c. W. Ross was appoint ed to endeavor to get the street rail- road companies, the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company band the steamboat companies to help Fwith contributions It has been de- cided that the Fourth of July exercises will open with a prayer meeting to be held at Center church at o'clock on the morning of July 4. This meeting will be conducted by Rev. Dr. Lines, chaplain of the Sons of the American Revolution. The clergymensof the va rious churches of the city have been invited to attend the meeting, which will be patriotic and non-sectarian. It was voted last night to allow no other national emblem than the Stars and Stripes to be carried in the Fourth of July parade. The full programme of the exercises was not announced. Gen. eral Peck, grand marshal of the pa- rade, will to-day issue his general or ders No. 1 for the parade. The fire works committee has received from Rev. Dr. Levi Gilbert a. communication requesting that the motto Remember the Maine'' be eliminated from the fire works and electric display. The re- I-quest has not yet been acted upon, but it is not probable that it will be granted.

BEcAUsE OF "BrCYCLE HEART,
Many Men Rejected at the Recruiting
 Office in Chicago.


 Chicago, June 30-Dr. s. c. Stanton, who has charge of the examination of recruits for the United States regular army in this city, has caused a sensa- tion among medical men by declaring that an habitual fast rider of bicycles or 'scorcher' is unfit physically to serve as a soldier in the army. He has made this matter the subject of his se- verest tests in his examinations of ap- plicants for enlistment, and many men have been rejected because of a "bicy- cle heart" as the practitioner terms it, caused by excessive exercise in riding a wheel. The doctor says: Persistent scorching or fast riding has a tendency to enlarge the heart and thus interfere with it's proper action. Few enthusias- tic bicyclists can resist the temptation to scorch and as a consequence I be- lieve that the hearts of large propor- tion of this class of riders are more or less affected. This being the case, they would be unable to endure the hard ships that army life imposes and should not be permitted to enter the service. The excitement attending war is detri- mental to those whose hearts are in any way affected"

If America were to issue a proclamation said Dr. Betances, to the effect that she had no intention of seizing the country, it would produce a good effect"
