THE administration has not given up
all hope Of settlement with Great
Britain covering relations with Canada.
That the prospect II not as promising
as II was 10 realized, however. SlSillful
negotiations, probably other than by
tho commission, win be required to
straighten out the present entangle-
ment. The Alaskan boundary Is the
great trouble. Over that the commits
sioners divided last winter and since
then diplomacy has been at work
through the usual channels. Canada
demands that this boundary shall
receive consideration TO the exclusion
Of other issues.

BRAVE YOUNG WOMAN.
She Got Away with the Oysters But
Not In the Usual MAN.
ner.

A young girl from the state Of Washing
ton who came east to visit western sem
ator's family last winter, had an experience
she hasn't forgotten yet. The first few days
Of her stay in the capital were spent there,
and her meals were sent to her room. On
the very first evening she ordered oysters
for dinner. Now, she knew nothing OF Q
real, life.sized oyster, having spent all her
days on the Pacific coast, where oysters are
not oysters at all, but something altogether
different. She was young and exceedingly
inexperienced, and she said to the waiter:
Bring me so oysters"
The waiter gasped.
SIS that ALI? he said.
"Oh, nc" she answered, cheerfully. Bring
Newell, dinner, too"
She says herself that she had to shut her
eyelids tight to keep her eyes from pop.
ping clear out Of her head when she saw the
"fsn't that more than 50!" she asked.
"No, miss" answered the waiter. 'ShaH
take some away?" and he grinned. Il
was the grin that did 1t. Her western
blood rose at it.
"No," she said, coolly. Its not too
many. I'm hungry" j,
She locked the door after the astonished
waiter, and opened the window; 1t was Q
dark night, but she could see the roofs OF
the adjoining houses almost within arms
reach beneath her window. Only a narrow
fork, and deity and dexterously, one by
one, she flung the oysters as far as she could.
She could hear them fall MOSTLY, softly, fab.
billy upon the roof opposite. When the
waiter returned, two oysters lay on her
plate. His eyes rolled wonderingly at her.
"Was-was the oysters good?" he asked,
and he did not grin.
"Fairly good" she made answer, calmly;
"but ! wasn't really hungry, after all."-

The case in n Nutshell.

Alabastine is a permanent coating
for walls and ceilings, designed to take
the place Of kalsomines and wall pa
per. Alabastine sets with the wall. 1t
Is practically q stone cement, as hard
and smooth us paint, but much less ex-
pensive, and is applied just rs easily by
anyone. It can be mixed with either
cold or hot water, and applied with q
kalsomine brush. 1t Is clean, healthful,
and economical. Every one Of the
strong points of Alabastine, proved to
be such by the test OF twenty years,
Is picked up by every new manufac.
turer Of ordinary kalsomine and claimed
for his goods. These claims are abb
surd on their face. Alabastine alone
can prove its durability by the test OF
time. II Is sold by paint dealers, In
5-lb. packages, properly labeled.

he WAS AN AMATEUR.
Howard Twiss Perhaps Fatally Injured
while Trying 10 ffaks . balloon As
runslDn IN kanaas city kan.

Kansas City, Kan, May s1.--Howard
Twiss, an amateur aerohaut, who made
q balloon ascension ut Chelsea park,
west Of this city, yesterday afternoon,
met with an accident which may cost
him hislife. Chelsea park was formally
opened yesterday and he was billed n
the star attraction. Owing to the
high wind the ascension was put of to
$3.50 o'clock. At that time the young
man made his appearance and the large
balloon was cut loose. II rose to n
height of about 500 feet, and then
drifted north Of the park several hun
bred yards. When over large grove the
gas began escaping and the balloon be-
gan to fall. Twiss attempted to loosen
his parachute, but failed until he was
within few feet OF a tall tree. 1t
then came loose from the balloon, but
did not have time to open before the
young aeronaut fell into the branches
Of the tree. The fall was SO great that
he bounced into the air and away from
the tree to tall bare trunk of tree
which stood few feet distant. He
lighted on top Of this on his back and
fell to the ground, distance Of about
10 feet. Twiss was unconscious when
picked up. He is severely injured about
the head, back and arms and 1t is
feared that he is injured internally.

To he Mustered Out At San Franelseo.


Washington, June Lit was official
ly announced at the war department
yesterday that the Twentieth Kansas
regiment, now In the Philippines, will
be mustered out at the Preside bar
racks, San Francisco. The war depart
ment has been in q quandary since the
question of selecting proper place TO
muster out the regiment has arisen and
the decision was reached after due de-
liberation. Numerous communications
have been received at the war de-
partment asking that the regiment
be mustered out at various places,
but II was thought that a majority
Of the men favored San Francisco, az
they will receive about $4,000 more
than they would had they been mus
tered out In their native state.
