Then he began thinking of the doc
tors visit, and at last, taking out his
watch, he saw it was close upon two.
The hour made him think of the
night when he had encountered
Katyine just at that time, and moved
by some impulse, he knew not what,
he went to his door, softly opened it,
and gazed out on to the gloomy stair
case, where all was silent as the grave
No! There was the faint creak OF
hinge that had been opened, and,
with his heart seeming to stand still,
Capel stood in the darkness listening
till. utterly wearied, he was about to
close his door, when, so softly that he
could hardly distinguish the sweep of
the d. ess, something passed him, go
ing straight to the stairs, and then he
could just hear whoever it was de-

was carefully closed.
"The work of spy" he said. But
a slight sound attracted his attention,
and his curiosity mastered all other
feelings.
Gently sliding his hand into his
pocket, he drew out penknife and
cut gently downward, making a slit
a few inches in length.
This he drew slightly apart and
gazed through, to see that Katrine was
standing with her back to him, in the
act of opening one of the large cabinets

SLOT HIMSELF.
Son of Dr. Hightower at Sulphur
 Springs Tuesday at Noon.

Tuesday afternoon about . o'clock two men were seen carrying q little boy in their arns from Clements livery stable to Dr. A. B. Loving's office over Meyer Drug Co.
 It was found that the boy, whose name is Albert Hightower. aged 13 years, and a son of Dr. Hightower, of Grapevine. had shot himself Tuesday at noon above the knee. the bullet entering, leaving a flesh wound.
 Dr. Loving ct once proceeded to dress the wound; the young man was able to walk from the office to the stable. The bullet was not talk en out as theiDoctor deemed it ad- visable not to remove same.
 The accident happened about as follows:
 Albert, who was with some other boys, stopped at Sulphur Springs on his way to town.
 When at the Springs he pulled his pistol out. which was a very small one, and one of the boys handed him a cartridge. Albert tried to put the cartridge in the pistol, and b eing unsuccessful with his fingers, pulled out his pocket knife, and be- gan hammering it in. His knife made slip and knocked the hammer down; in doing so, the pistol went off and the bullet entered his leg just above the knee.

This afternoon in police court there appeared one Jim Young. small colored lad. accused oi ta king or stealing a pigeon box from one Mrs. Brewer. When Jim was ques- tioned regarding the stealing he said, that seeing the box on or nigh the fence and believing it to be of no use, he simply went in and took it. Chief Phiipot told him as the box was not worth anything, and fl he would replace it he would give him his liberty. Jim started on a run and no doubt will keep his word.

COMPANY OF COMEDIANS Is What the Alba Haywood Compa-
 ny Are-Fine Entertainment.

Tuesday night at the Merrill h. stitute Alba Haywood and his ex cellent company appeared to pack ed house. 1t was an evening ot love, laughter ard song. The audience were kept in a continual laughter from the beginning 0. "The lawsuit by Mr. Heyw pod until it concluded with hls Funny Bisnis by Billy Wise-ni [.
 An attraction ofits kind was one of the best we have had this season. The comedy was clean and of the high order.
 Mr. Haywood has been truly termed the prince of comedians. He is undoubtedly holding his own as the prince of imitators. His chara. cterization of the pessimist was a feature of the program that all hated to see concluded. Ills old woman, was simply true to life, in picturing the New Church Organ His parlor scene, or little sketch, called ''six love letters" was enjoyed i'm menssely. From the round Of ap- plause accorded him and the rest of the characters 1t was evident that it was one of the best numbers on the program. His views as the pessi- mist showed thought and his manner of touching the now famous Con- gressman. elect Roberts case seemed to hit the cord of public sympathy, if pot for the truth of his sayings, then for his thoughtfulness in men tionipg it. He said "I do not like a polygamist, a man of so many wives; but then that is better than being like some of the congressman being men of other mems wives.
 Miss Ethel Carpenter. the sweet singer, makes one not only love the song she sings, but her melodious voice makes it doubly so. While her voice savers more of tfe masculine, still it's sweetness covers any de- fects or objections that might other- wise be raised. Her songs happy days" anG "a dream" were songs of sentiment, pathos and passion.
 Miss Gertrude Monroe, who ren- dered the violin solos, was all that she has been said to be. The aa- ticipations of the large audience were fully realized.
 Mir. Gustave Ulrich, who rendered the cello solo "the simple comics sion' and "the spinning wheel were greatly enjoyed. He is a young man of talent. One of the finest pieces he rendered was that of My Old Kentucky home" He struck more than the chords on his cello when be played it. The audi ence were rapt in their attention during his playing.
 All in all the entertainment was one of the best we have had in this city for many years.
 Secretary Holm is indeed to be congratulated upon his good judg- ment in selecting, and beng able to secure, such attractions as the one last night.

for 100 pound plates, it is so near the
importing price for so pound plates
that the trust dares not mark up prices
again for the present.
PRICE ADVANCES NOT JUSTIFIED
BY COST OF MATERIAL.
To what extent were the advances in
prices justified by the increased cost of
raw materials?
In the first place, it is not true, as
often asserted in protection papers, that
the advances were caused by the in
creased cost of raw materials. On the
contrary, the advances in price of tin
plates preceded the advances in billets
and tin. Thus from November Is to
January tin plate advanced 35 cents
q box, while the rise in raw materials
was only equal to about IA cents. From
November Is to February II, tin plates
were marked up IS cents, while the adj
vance in raw materials was only 80
cents per box. From November Is to
March prices of plates were marked
up $1.221a, less than half Of which was
explained by the prices of materials.
From November Is to October 6 tin
plate prices advanced just $500, al
though the advance in prices of raw
materials justified a rise of only $1,55,
or of $1.75, if, as the protectionists
claim, labor had advanced 20 cents
box. Thus it is clear that the trust adj
vanced prices arbitrarily and with more
regard to the price at which foreign
plates could be imported under the pro-
tective tariff than to the increased cost
of Bessemer bars-themselves the pro-
duct of another tariff trust which as we
shall see also arbitrarily advanced
prices
The following are Pittsburg prices of
steel billets-or tin plate bars-and of
pig tin and tin plates at different dates,
the first being two days before the for
nation of the trust was announced and
the others those on which the princi-
pal advances in price of tin plates were
made:

PRICES AT PITTsRuRG

Because of the false statements wide
ly circulated in protectionist organs it
is necessary to explain the above care
fully ascertained figures in detail.
About 2hpounds OF tin are required
to coat 9712 pounds of steel sheets and
produce 100 pounds of steel plates.
The sheets are rolled from Bessemer
bars which now sell at the same price
as steel billets. \ ton of bars (2,24O
lbs.) will yield on an average 20 boxes
100 lbs each) of tin plates, about two
Of which are seconds or MASTERS
Slightly inferior plates which sell for
about % cents per box below the other
price of the other IS boxes. The 800
pounds of unused steel is valuable as
scrap and sells somewhat higher than
pig tin iron, having risen in value like
other steel. The advance in the price
of coke is said to add about 8 cents
per box to the cost of producing lin
plates. A claimed advance of 90 per
cent in the cost Of labor is said to add
20 cents per box, though, as the total
labor cost was below 70 cents a box in
1898. it is not clear how the 20 cents is
reached, even if true-as is doubtful
