him to raise his eyes, and he discover

had read what was written on the
margin Of the order.

CHANGING at the bashful girl, he said,
"Now l have paid you the money, I

ture seems to be best. Jimmy sent me
q dozen kisses along with a money
order. and John gave me 20. 1t beats

Alaska Steamer Arrives.

SEATTLE, Aug. 2l.-The steamer
Roanoke arrived last night from st.
Michaels, Alaska, with $50 miners and
gold dust estimated at $3.50, 900. Most
Of this was brought out of the Cape
Nome district. q. Price had the larg-
est individual amount, about $50, 900.
The failure Of the Roanoke to bring a
large amount of gold dust from Dawson
is explained by the fact that she failed
to make connections with the Yukon

Mrs. White told the following story
on her husband: Some years ago Fred
Harvey gave Mr.. White a pass, good at
the Harvey eating houses along the
Santa Fe, and Mr.. and Mrs. White
started on a trip to Colorado to take
advantage Of Mr.. Harvey's generosi-
ty. At every eating station MI. White
ate enormously and then proudly pro-
duced his free ticket. He had had 1t o
year and never before found opportu-
nifty to use 1t. Mrs. White, who was
compelled to pay for her meals. ate
very sparingly, and some Of the other
passengers remarked how much the
husband ate and how daintily his wife
nibbled.
When they reached the last station
where the free ticket was good, Mr..
White ordered everything in sight and
simply stuffed himself. Mrs. White re-
NAMED in the car and nibbled q little
lunch she had brought along. When
Mr.. White returned to the car, his wife
noticed that he looked mighty unhap-
py considering that he had previously
been enormously enjoying the Fred
Harvey free ticket. He continued
looking unhappy, and his wife feared
that possibly he had foundered him
self and pressed him for an explains
ton.
"well, Sallie," he finally said, Il
might as well make q clean breast Of
1t. That last one wasn't a Fred Har-
vey eating house, and I was compelled
to pay s2.75 for my breakfast."-Atch-

large congregation gathered at the NJ. E.
church last night to pay tribute to their
former pastor, Rev. Ephraim Potts. who is
now in charge of the NJ. E. church at Frack-
vile. The choir had arranged special pro-
gram of music for the occasion and each part
was rendered admirably. Mr. Potts was as
signed to the pulpit to preach the sermon and
took for his text 81 am Alpha
and Omega" He said in part /;
These words, though Greek are easily
understood and remembered. Christ is the
beginning and end of all things. This was
also the teaching of Paul. He is the beginning
and end of the divine revelation. In this
lies the solution of many difficult problems.
He is the Alpha and Omega of doctrine.
Our different creeds find in Him their fulfill
ment. He is the beginning and the end of
the atonement for sins, therefore we glory in
the cross. This text explains the facts of
providence. He is the beginning and end in
the future world" Rev. Potts made touch
ing reference to the life work in this village
of ex-Superintendent w. II. Lewis. He con-
cluded his remarks by referring to those who
had passed away and exhorted all to meet
them, 'and now let us be in fellowship with
each other around the table of the Lord"

lossal error for which there is no pal
llation."
The court finds that there was neg
lect in Cuba and to a less degree in
Porto Rico in delivering the refrig-
Grated beef
"The court" says the report. "does
not wish to state the case more strong
ly than to say that the finding appears
to be warranted that too much time
was consumed in distributing this per-
ishable article. The fault, If any there
was, rested with the brigade and higher
commanding officers and their COM
missaries and quartermasters, but the
testimony is not so definite or specific
as to warrant the naming by the court
of any particular officers"
The opinion is expressed that it
would have been impracticable to land
leef cattle on the hoof in Cuba, the
remark of the court on this point be-
ing as follows:
"The commanding general of the ex-
pedition characterizes as absurd such
a proposition, and many of his COM
manding officers, whose opinion is be-
ing given in the testimony, coincided
with him in the practicability or in
expediency of such a project. The
court concurs in the opinion of these
men, whose experience in active mill
tary service dated from 1861"
chapter of the report is devoted to
the consideration of the cause of the
sickness in the army in the Santiago
campaign, but "the court finds 1t i'm
possible to conclude that either the
canned fresh beef or refrigerated beef
appeared to any appreciabe extent as
causes of intestinal disease"
General Miles, when asked last
night whether he had any comment
to make upon the beef report, replied
that he had read it. But have moth
ing to say" he added, 'either about
the report, the method of taking tes-
timony or the conclusions reached"

A Woman Compelled to Release Thief
at the Point of a Revolver.

A daring robbery was perpetrated at the
grocery store of d. Grossman, at ten o'clock
this morning. Mr.. Grossman's place of busi-
ness is at the corner of Lloyd and White
streets.
The thieves were Frank Gibson, about 16
years old. of North White street, and an
accomplice, whose name could not be learned.
They entered the store together. The
accomplice went to the kitchen, where Mrs.
Grossman was engaged in housework. He
engaged her in conversation while Gibson
robbed the till. He succeeded in opening the
drawer and stole the contents, S. or more.
The rattling of the coin attracted the atten-
tion of Mrs. Grossman, who rushed into the
store grabbed Gibson by the arm, and
demanded the money. In true Western
style Gibson pulled revolver from his hip
pocket and threatened to shoot the woman if
she did not release him. In the excitement
Mrs. Grossman became bewildered and both
thieves made their escape. Gibson's father
was notified of the theft and he paid the
amount taken by his son.
