 You are the last person in the world l would wish to offend.' he continued, in a tone of deep and earnest feeling. 'I cannot tell how deeply I regret my nasty words of this morning. Forgive me-"
 "Yes, forgive you, MT. Hope" After a moments pause she added: 'I sup pose you have finally decided to leave us?"
 "As matter of fact, have been ig- nominiously dismissed" he replied, with bitter laugh.
 'I trust you do not suppose" she said, in a low and tremulous voice, that I approved of my fathers bear ing towards you?''
 'I felt sure you did not; indeed, it was that belief-I may be perfectly frank with you now-that encouraged me to submit for a month to his un- governable temper Drawing closer to her. he continued, in a tone of deep and heartfelt tenderness: ''I cannot resist confessing my folly, my mad dream of impossible happiness, to you, Muriel." He hesitated for an instant and then added: ''I love you. darling. I love you"
 She stood before him with downcast eyes and quivering lips, her hurried breathing betraying the agitation of her heart. He took her hand tenderly and said: "Muriel, is there any hope for me?"
 She raised her head and looked at him, her eyes glowing bright with re sponsive tenderness. And then in the fast-gathering darkness of this still autumn evening their lips met, and, hand in hand, they wandered into the deep shadows of the quiet woods.
 'I say, Crouch,'' said MT. Kennard, bustling into his lawyers office in Lon don two days after the above event, what on earth did you mean by send ing such a cad as that man Hope down to my place?'
 You surprise me, MT. Kennard!"
 "Just listen. I had to dismiss the fel- low for insoIence; he actually seemed to think that he was on a social equali- ty with mel And now I find out that he has been making love to Muriel and the girl-who is young and inexperi- enced-has been fool enough to encour- age his attentions. He is hanging round Kelverton now, so wish you'd send for him at once, so as to get him out of the neighborhood."
 q was just on the point of sending for him. The fact is, and may as well confess the truth to you at once, his name is not Hope at all."
 "AhI I thought he was an impostor. Who on earth is he, then?"

SUING FOR S5OO,OOO.
Smith Seeks TO Recover From United
Traction Company.
Failure 10 Observe Terms Of an Agreement
Is The Basis Of the Suit.

David n. Smith OF New York is suing
the United Traction and Electric Com
pany, of which United States Senator
Nelson w. Aldrich. is president. i'm the
New York supreme court TO recover
100000 which the plaintiff says IS
due him as the result of the failure Of
the defendant company TO keep certain
alleged contracts for the transfer OF
stock. The trial OF the suit began be-
fore Justice Bischoff yesterday. Sena-
tor Aldrich was in court when the trial
began.
According to the complaint, the de-
fendant company was Incorporated un-
der the laws of New Jersey and owns
and operates certain street railways in
Providence. Prior 20 Dec. IA. 1893, the
Inter-S State Railway Company, "a cor
poration created under the laws of
Rhode Island, operated certain street
railways i'm Massachusetts, towns, and
subsequently received. by act OF leg
islature, the right TO extend it's tracks
into Rhode Island. The controlling
stock of the company was owned by
Homer Daggett William RI. Haskell,
William A. Walton. William y. Otis
and Henry w. Harvey
on May 1, 1898. the Daggett syndicate
entered into a contract with the UNI
ted Traction and Electric Company
whereby Daggett and his associates
sold to the traction company 2200
shares OF the Interstate Company
stock. representing a controlling inter-
est i'm the road. In consideration OF the
transfer, Is IL alleged. Daggett and his
associates guaranteed the issuance OF
$500 900 worth of bonds of the new com-
Germ and TO find buyers for 100000
worth of the stock. In December OF the
same year, however, a new contract
was drawn up. The subject matter,
says the complaint. contained about the
same general provisions as the old one.
subsequently the Interstate Railway
Company was found To be insolvent
and a receiver was appointed. a scheme
of reorganization was drawn up, and
later the road was put up Cor sale by
the receiver.
1t is alleged that the United Traction
and Electric Company agreed TO pro-
tect the stockholders and agreed TO
bid the road i'm at the sale for IN
amount upward OF S500.OUU. Just prior
TO the sale, however. the plaintiff,
Smith. to whom the claims of the other
Interested parties had been assigned,
asserts that the defendant company
violated it's agreement and bid the road
in for $l00. 600. Smith now sues to recov-
er the difference between the price for
which the road was bid in, Sl00 900, and
the contract price named, 100000.
In it's answer TO the complaint the
defendant company denies any bad
faith in the purchase of the road at the
sale. The hearing OF the case was re-
sumed today.

The H0gg Incident.

The Tammany chiefs who spoke on the
Fourth of July had been instructed not
to mention Bryan and free silver. All
of their speeches had been submitted to
a committee in order that Cookers in
structions should be obeyed. When the
man from Texas was announced for a
"short talk no one suspected that he
was loaded.
In its editorial comment upon the con-
f%lagration the New York Sun says:
He knew that the others had been
cautioned against mentioning the out
lawed name of Bryan and the abhorred
Chicago platform of 1896. But he de-
fed the Tammany chiefs just as he
daily defies the octupus. only with more
deadly results to Cookers warriors. "We
will declare for free silver!' roared
Hogg, in his opening words, and the
Tammany rank and file went wild with
delight, while the chieftains shivered
with fear. "We will declare for an in
come taxi howled Hogg of Texas, and
deep echoed unto deep with tumul-
tuous approval. "Let us prepare for
victory in 1900 under the matchless
command of our brilliant leader, Will
lam Jennings Bryant" shrieked the
Texas o~cJopomaniac, %whereupon the
flames broke forth, devoured the boom
of VanWyck and left naught standing
but the asbestos effigy Of Bryan mounted
on the Chicago platform.

In 1864 the national Democratic party
pronounced the war a failure and asked
the country to defeat the election of the
party responsible for its conduct. But
the people did not agree with the con
vertion and gave the Democratic nomi-
nee but 81 electoral votes, while his OPP
ponent received 212. The young man
who carries the platform of the next
convention around in his grip ready to
set it up in convention hall when the
party convention meets was a boy in
that day, and may not remember what
happened. If he will let his party
declare the present war a failure there
will be a failure sure enough, but it will
not be one in war. 1t will be a failure
in politics and the man who will go into
political bankruptcy will end his chances
to do business for the Democratic party.

Money In Lima Beans.

The Lima bean growers in Southern
California do not believe in trusts but
they advocate exchanges. Only q year
ago their beans were selling at from
$l.3o to $1.4O per hundred pounds. Now
they bring from 81 to 4.2O. This rise
is due to organization among growers.
Southern California is the chief pro-
Queer of Lima beans in the world, but
the growers had no organization, and
the market became utterly demoralized.
The growers thought by combination a
price of SO could be had, and so they
organized last year. There was a ur-
plus of about $500 cars of beans held
over from the crop Of the previous sea-
son, and the first effort was to dispose
of this by developing new markets
abroad. This was brought about in
short order, through an agreement
among the growers that they would sell
only through their exchange. The
price at once rose to $2, and large or
ders from abroad, through the efforts of
the exchange, soon exhausted the sur
plus stock and created q keen demand
for the new crop. Now buyers are i'm
patient for the coming crop, while Of
fers of 81. 10 await the consideration of
the exchange.
New Mexico has valley sections where
the Lima bean should be grown extern
sively. The New Mexico grower could
rely upon getting California prices, or
better, because he is nearer the mar
kets. 1t is so as to celery and fruit that
are shipped from this territory.

moving by preventing c%oagulation and
draining, so that an ~ante-mortem state

done the %pulsations had not ceased, so
an opening was made between the ribs,

taken to bring together the edges OF the
wound in the left ventricle. The man was

The president has wisely determined
that the ten new regiments shall have
no majors, lieutenant colonies and col
onels who are not regular army officers
trained in the service. Politicians like
Colonel Bryan can never again secure
commissions unless a still larger army
be needed and a shortage of regular Of
ficers exists, as was the case when the
army for Cuban invasion was formed.
The trained officer may be no Drawer

what to do with 1000 men and how to
protect them than the man who has
never been in the field. Besides, the
army officers who have long served had
little chance for promotion in time of
peace and many of them have earned
the right to be moved up by reason of
long and faithful service. The organ

NEW MEXICO ADVANTAGES.
UaS Vegas ReyieW,)

New Mexico lands, under irrigation,
are more fruitful than ave- the Missis-
sippi valley was, and they can never be-
come exhausted of their fertility. Thirty
or forty acres are more productive and
more valuable in their products than a
quarter section in the older states. The
best farming lands of the territory are
tributary to Las Vegas, and the settling
up of the country can but result in the
building up of the city.
What more reed be said? The finest
climate on the American continent, a
most desirable location for q home, a
place %unequaled for healthfulness and
business opportunities. the commercial
center of the entire territory, the incom-
parable nucleus of resorts for invalids
and pleasure seekers, and the place of
most promising future in all the west.

The rise in the price of copper has
interfered with coinage in China. The
circular coins called cash, in use there,
represent about one-tenth of a cent
each in value, nominally. They are
larger than the American penny, but
not so thick and have a square hole in
the center so that they may be put
upon a string. At present the Chinese
government cannot buy the copper and
make the cash for one-tenth of a cent
each. Increased use of silver will re-
suit, although no silver coin is now
made that is small enough in value to
satisfy the needs of trade in China.

PRESS COMMENTS.
ANSWERING ANTI-IMPERIALISTS.

"
Chicago Times.)
DR.. Briggs, the %jurist, and a robust
American who is connected with the
faculty of the Catholic university at
Washington, maintains in the Catholic
World for July that nc other course was
open to the president in carrying out
his oath of Office than to send an army
to the Philippines to subdue an insur-
rection. DR.. Briggs says: ''The presi-
dent is absolutely bound by his oath of
office and by the explicit language of
the constitution to take care that this
treaty which vests the sovereignty over
the Philippines in the United States,
and which is the supreme law of the
land be faithfully executed through
out all the land over which floats our
flag. TO do less would constitute an
executive violation of the constitution
and the laws" DR.. Briggs commends
to the anti-imperialists the fact which
they studiously ignore, that ''the ini-
tiatory attack of the Tagalos and Chi
nese half-breeds, styling themselves
%'Filipinos' was made upon the American
army on the night of February 4, 1899,
while the peace treaty was still pending;
and their armed resistance to the au-
thority of the United, States has been
maintained since the ratification there
Of" He also calls attention to the fact
that Mr.. Lincoln was confronted with a
similar condition of affairs IN 1881, and
that he faithfully executed" "the SUI
preme law of the land" without allow
ing the national sovereignty to be
flouted while waiting for congress to
''declare war" against insurgents"
When his acts were subjected to the
judicial scrutiny of the Supreme court,
''the constitutional doctrines then laid
down could not more completely cover
the present emergency If the courts had
been gifted with prescience."

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP.
(Kansas City Starr

The tendency of public opinion is I'M
doubtedly in the direction of approving
government control and ultimately own
ership of railways and telegraph lines.
Many persons who, a few years ago,
were rigidly opposed to anything of the
sort, now recognize that it may come
eventually. The interstate commerce
commission and the numerous laws
regulating railroad management have
prepared the public mind for q step
farther in the same direction.
There may be a chance before long in
the trend Of public sentiment on this
subject, but there is no doubt that at
the present time the number of per-
sons who believe in what is called gov
eminent ownership of public utilities
is growing rapidly, though they are
still greatly in the minority in most
communities.
