UNITES TWO HEARTS,

An American girl, May Frances Gro
min OF Williamsburg, returned the love
Of a young Spanish lieutenant, Louis
Philippe Nebot, an officer in the army
of occupation in Cuba. But war sep
arated the two devoted hearts, for no
marriage was to be arranged until
after the peace commission in Paris
had done it's effective work.
AND SO the work of the peace COM
mission became of absorbing impor-
lance to these two young people. They
followed the reports day by day, bend
ing their heads together over the pa
pers, alternately elated and depressed,
as the stories foreshadowed early
agreement or continued dissension.
The rest is easy to tell. Miss Cronin
gave an order to her dressmaker as
soon as word came that the treaty had
been signed, and the dressmaker went
in search Of white taffeta and orange
blossoms. And on Sunday night tho

JOHN RUSSELL YOUNG.
LIFE STORY OF THE GREAT
LlTERALIST.
Rose from an Office boy to Distinction
and Renown-Won Spurs AS n Cor
Run.

John Russell Young, librarian of
congress, who died in Washington re-
Gently, was born in Downingtown,
Chester county, Pa, Nov. 20, 1S41. The
family moved to Philadelphia and he
was educated in the public schools of
that city. Later he went to New Or
leans, where an uncle lived, and con-
tinued his school work in the New Or
leans high school. Returning to Phil
adelphia he secured a place On the
Philadelphia Press in 1857 as copy boy,
and from this dated his newspaper
work.
When John w. Forney went to
Washington in 1861 to become secre-
tary of the senate he brought along
Young, who by that time had become a
fluent writer. While acting as Colonel
Forney's private secretary Mr.. Young
continued his writings to the Phila-
delphia Press, and it was by his de-
scription of the first battle of Bull Run
that he won his spurs as a wal CORE
spondent. He followed the army Of the
Potomac to the end of the Chickahom-
my campaign. In 1864 he accompanied

A statement of losses in this country

A statement of losses in this country
by embellishments, forgeries, bank

masters. In the great company of the
officials thus commissioned, tempta-
ton to steal government property

MINES.
MI. Broaie Talks OF Gov. Shepherds
Valuable chihuahua ProDerty,

MI. Brodie Talks OF Gov. Shcpher6'a
Valuable chihuahua Property.
Walker M. Brodie, who is at the Ho-
tel SAM with his wife and daughter,
IS the consulting engineer of the great
group of mines owned by the Batopilas
Mining company at Batopilas, Chihua-
hua, says the Mexican Herald. The
mines are really owned by Gov. Alex
ander Shepherd, who is the backbone
and largest stakeholder of the COM
pany. Mr.. Brodie is Gov. Shepherds
son-in-law and is largely interested in
the property. He talked interesting
ly recently Of the mines and the work
going on there. 1t will be remember
ed that shortly after the expiration of
Gov. Shepherds term as governor of
the District of Columbia he came to
Mexico and purchased a number Of
mines that are now owned by the
present company. The price paid for
the property was $500, 600, and since
that time they have gradually i'm
proved until they are worth not far
from $4,000, 900. The property is To-
Gated in the chihuahua mountains,
n is eight days journey from the
Mexican Central railroad communica-
tlon. Of the journey two and one-half
Gays can be made in a coach, but it
is necessary to go on mule back for
the rest of the distance on account of
the roughness of the country. Mr..
Brodle said that the company was hop
ing that a railroad will be built that
will run near their property. Several
surveys have already been made, and
1t is probable that such a road will be
Dullt. At the present time it is nee
essary to pack all of the ore taken out
of the mines to the railroad on the
backs Of burros. When asked to OK
plain the development work going on
In the mine, Mr.. Brodie said: "The
property, as you perhaps know already.
consists of almost forty-eight mines
that are being worked at the present
time. We employ YER 1900 men reg
ularly. The work is going on steadily
II all of the mines are being worked.
The principal work in progress is the
extension Of the great Porfrio Diaz
tunnel, which is being run into the
oiNS VI IL IlOullldlll. lS luuQel Will
in all probability be worked for the
next ten years. -Four hundred feet
farther and it will reach the principal
vein. The completion of the tunnel
will lessen the expense Of carrying on
the work in a marked degree. We are
also making some extensive expert
ments to determine the best method of
working the gold that is in some OF
the mines. Our concession calls for
the mining Of both gold and silver. Up
to this time we have not had the op-
p%ortunitN or the desire to work these
deposits, as we we're finding our silver
property all we could handle. But at
the present time we believe that the
working of our gold properties will
prove a paying Investment" Mr.. Bro
die said that the health Of Gov. Shep-
herd continued very good and that he
was able still to do a great amount OF
work.

Treasury of Remedies for the
Mind" is the inscription in the library
at Alexandria, Egypt. Well-chosen
libraries are more than remedies; they
are preventives of moral and intel
lectual disease. Mr.. Andrew Carnegie,
when a boy, was invited with other
working boys to spend his Saturday
evenings in the private library of a
rich man. They were even allowed
to take the books home with them.
Realizing the good work this man was
doing, young Carnegie resolved that if
eve he were able, he would establish
free libraries for working people.
This resolve he has carried out in
three cities and towns of Pennsylva-
MIA, one in Iowa, and nine in his ma
tive Scotland; and he now offers to
give one to Washington. "And if I
live" he adds, "there will be more"

The Indian Territorial Pharma-
.ceutical association openedits fifth
annual session in this city today.
While the attendance is numeri-

business about the meeting which
leaves an impression of good re-
suits to follow.
The initial meeting was called to
order this morning by j. r. Shee-

Part OF Creek Chiers Message.

The opening of the land office at
this place, and the selections OF
preliminary allotments by the
Creek citizens, at this time, is re-
garded as unfortunate by the chief,
becaue, as he says, many of the
less intelligent citizens OF the ma
tion are likely to be induced by
the money paid down, by the cat
tlemen, and their agents, seeking
to Craze cattle in the nation, to
select allotments which they really
do not want"
The old chief cannot under
stand why the secretary of the in
terror refused to approve the GUS
tomary and annual act of the Greek
council, appropriating s4O50.Oo
out of the funds of the nation fol
its 27O helpless and INDECENT citi.
zens. Regarding this matter he
says: "As small as is the amount
it would relieve many very press
ing wants and. bring sunshine te
these unfortunate indigents. Why
the representatives of a christian
nation like the United States
would adopt repressive meaure'
towards those who, with their owl
means, are willing and trying ,tt
help the helpless, is, | must con
fess, not entirely clear to me.
He recommended that thu
amount be re-appropriated AM
that the act be sent to Presiden
Mckinley for his approval. Mus
