decision was made at headquarters to
hold the line on San Juan ridge. 1t has
been stated that Shafter's demand for the
surrender of Santiago was drafted that
night. Shafter says that he wrote the
demand on the morning of the 3D.. 1t
was dated $3.50 a. M, and Toral accept.
ed that as its date, although he did not
receive IL until p. M, at which hour,
although neither he nor Shafter knew
IL, Cervera's fleet was wreck.
Toral replied that he would not sur
render, but that he had notified the for
afternoon the CT .suls entered the Amer
lean lines and secured further respite
of "a hours or until 10 o'clock, July 8.
Shafter said that he believed that the
Spanish army would gladly surrender
If it were known that the prisoners of
war would be humanely treated by their
Captors. In order to give an example of
American ideas of humanity, he paroled
and sent into Santiago number Of
wounded prisoners, all who could stand
the trip.
Meanwhile Cervera' s escape and sub
sequent fate were not mentioned. Next
day, however-that is, July 4-Shafter
sent the news to Toral with the sugges.
ton that he surrender to avoid useless
loss of life. These details show the de-
Liberation with which Shafter acted OH
July 3 and in the matter of forcing
the Spaniards, course quite inconsist-
ent, it seems to me, with the assump-
ton that the American commander had
lost his nerve the night of July and
wanted to retreat. AT Camp Wikoff 1t

Skaters name was not mentioned by
any one on the inside. General Sumner

the repulse Of the enemy showed that

Wounded July =, tie. No one knew
Of his guns at work on July 1, as has
been stated Shafter said that 1000 Of
Cervera's sailors were in the works that
day. 1t is only another evidence of the
desperate straits in which the soldiers
found themselves after San Juan ridge
had been carried that events like Ger.
vera's escape and destruction made lit
tie impression there in the trenches,
but that triflcs which brought relief are
remembered in detail. Officers and men
alike could name the day and hour
when they got the first apology for
meal, the first variation of diet, the
first chance to wash and the first Red
Gross mid. They could also tell of the
fluctuations of misery in the trenches,
the downpour Of rain, the chill air and
the depth Of mud. When the flag of
truce appeared, word passed along:

Tho proposition to retire tho army on
the night Of July 2 to its position of
June 30 on the hills back of FL Poso
will long remain homo of contention,
and may take 20 years to settle, as was
the case with Meade at Gettysburg. Ev-
cry one interviewed at Camp Wikoff
mentioned the subject without restraint.
No ono criticised the plan Officers said
that the idea was not favored by
the men; but, as before stated, this
view was modified by the universal
admission that the line of battle was
dangerously weak and the men suffer
ing terribly from heat and hunger
The reasons given why the idea
a. retiring to a shorter line nearer
the base of supplies was abandoned
show that the idea was natural one.
All agreed that it was abandoned be-
cause of the repulse of the Spaniards
the night of July and thu cool wave
bringing relief from heat OF course it
would not have been proposed to retire
because Of the discomforts of heat Sa-
villa and III Poso were no better in that

etiecls OF the heat were feared, and the
real danger was Spanish sortie.

Ruches and Doas OF tullc, gauze and fcath-

the almost invariable accompanimcnts Of
evening gowns, whether the latter are full

not long. They often enoircle the neck

secured by jeweled ornament Gauzc,

An hour or two later Nelly was
ready. She had been to the convent
to kiss Kathleen. she had dressed her
self in her coarse mountain clothing
again. The next train north bore the
Irishmen and Nelly to the little sta
ton where she had decided to get Off.
1t was by a short cut, rough and
dangerous, that Nelly made up her
mind to lead her followers. 1t was
one by which John Conover used to
secretly transport his gold. Several
times she had tramped with him III
and down the pass. She calculated
that she could arrive an hour or two
after the attacking party If they push
ed forward all night. A terrible en-
ergy posed Nelly. Her eyes shone
with terror and anxiety. Could they
reach John in time? AS she plunged
onward in the dark she registered a
vow never to leave John Conover
again ii his life was spared.
Toward dawn the party were in
sight of Toby's creek. Nelly pointed
with shaking at the hut near the
mountain side. There vas a light in
the cabin. The party crept Up stealth
lily. Nelly crawled on her hands and
knees to the back window. The sight
within froze her blood. John Conover
was tied and bound before the fire
until he was perfectly helpless. Three
men were torturing him. Indian fash
ion, by applying burning sticks to his
feet. He would not sigr way his
claim.
Nelly drew back one second and Fer
took her place. a settled gray
look came into the face Of the big
switchman. He motioned the next
man and all drew their pistols. Fer
gus crept to the door. m%otioning Mel
ly to shelter herself. There was a sud
den crash-in of the door, three shots
and a dash at the window. Nelly fir
ed the pistol that she held straight
into the face of the man who came
first.
John Conover was always a bad
ly crippled man. He lad expected no
succor. but he knew Nelly well enough
to think she would never relinquish
the claim only over his own signature,
hardly then. He had resigned himself
to die that she might have q fortune.
1t was n snatch from the grave for
him.
Everyone knows the Conovers on
the, two continents. The claim was
Il Of the three best in California.
Kathleen was such a fabulous heircss
she could have married n dozen titles,
but she choose a plain American. She
had a young. half brother. who.
strange as 1t may seem. was called
Fergus from the start. He was a ia

mountain side has she been absent

A TENANT NATION.


The American People Rapidly Eecom-
ing a Homeless People.
The census reports compned by APP
pointeos of Benjamin Harrison in 1890.
in an era of unparalleled Republican
prosperity" contain the following
statistics:
Indianapolis in 1890 contained %, 1878

homes that were m%ortgaged.
Philadelphia, 204, 292 families, OF
which 157,S03 were tenants and 1896
owned homes that were mortgaged.
New York, 312,754. families, of which
-oS,ooo "ClC lcHdLlS, C,loc o"llCN
homes that were mortgaged and 11,6lO
owned homes free of incumbra-ce.
In the towns and cities of Indiana
there were 261 ,S15 homes, Of which
91,675 were occupied by the owner and
were free Of ~incumbrance, 81, TIA were
mortgaged and 1896 were occupied
by tenants.
Number OF farms in Indiana, 205, 953.
of which 97,196 were occupied by the
owners and were free Of incumbrance.
4S,O79 were mortgaged and 60,737 were
occupied by tenants.
The interest that the so-called own
er OF a home pays on a mortgage is
simply rent in another form. In plac-
ing a mortgage on his home he really
sells a, part of it to the money lender
and pays him, not for the use Of the
money, but for the use of hat part OF
the home which the money lender has
in reality purchased.
1t certainly makes no difference to
the farmer or city workingman whetu-
er he pays a part of his earnings to
the money lender or the landlord for
the privilege of using the farm or
home.
The above notes should be sufficient
evidence that this land of the free is
fast becoming a nation Of landlords
and tenants. AS cities increase in
population the percentage of tenants
increases. The same is true Of the
country.
There was a time when every citi-
zen residing within the present boun-
daries of the United States owned his
home. 1t is not very many dec
AIDES since 80 per cent Of them owned
their homes. The tendency towards
landlordism and tenancy has become
conspicuous during the control of the
Republican party, and since the adop-
ton OF the single gold standard policy.
Will votes for the Republican ticket
check this tendency now?

and a golf cap to Kennedy, both Of
which were found in his apartments.
Perhaps one OF the strongest bits Of
evidence brought forward by the state
was the positive identification of Ken
nedy by a bell-boy na1aed Lenahan as
the man who had gore unstairs with
Miss Reynolds and later had tried to
slip out unnoticed.
The death-dealing instrument which
Kennedy had used was another strong
link in the convicting chain. 1t was
a long piece of gas pipe inclosing a
piece Of lead pipe, closed at one end
with solder and wound at the other
with bicycle tape. 1t was shown on
the stand by the evidence of the pris-
oner's W father that he and his son
had been working the day of the muir
der repairing a kitchen sink, during
which they used solder, lead and gas
pipe. The prisoners father also ad-
mitted that his Sol rode a bicycle, and
that he had often seen him with BIZ
cycle tape. The Importance of the
admission as to the solder will be seen
when it is known hat the solder on
the murderer's weapon was fresh, and,
according to plumbers, had been melted
on that day. Many other little bits
of evidence were brought out by the
state at the trial, which, combined
with the more important points, added

That is how John Conovcr met Nelly

about Toby's creek that his brother
mad left him when he died the year be-
fore.
He did not say much about himself
TO anyone. He took his meals with The
Widow Carney for a week or so and
bunked in with Fergus O'Hare. He
salc he was getting his outfit. Nelly
carney did some sewing for him and
they sat together evenings. while little
Kathleen slept beside them.
One of these evenings John Conover
seemed to be very thoughtful. At last
he took a sudden resolution.

Nelly took a nights sleep on it and
in the morning consented to go up

were marNed one day, and set out the
next, taking the little child with them.
1t seemed a shame to John Conover
that he brought such a pretty creature
to live in such a wild and lonesome
spot. She was happy enough, appar-

he loved her, the more he brooded
over her sacrifice Of a home and

Needle Held Her Prisoner.

jamestown Journal: While operating
a sewing machine at her home on West
Seventh street Wednesday afternoon
Miss Agnes Folder had the misfortune
to get her finger under the machine
needle, which penetrated it. The nee
die became bent in the operation, and
it was impossible for her to turn the
machine SO as to withdraw it. Being
alone in the house at the time, she
was a sure enough prisoner, and could
not attract attention by her cries for
help for fully an hour. Finally Lionel
o. Robertson heard her while passing
the house. He went to the rescue, but
could not turn the machine to release
the unfortunate young woman. A ma
chinist and a physician were sent for.
On the arrival Of the machinist he was
compelled to take the machine apart
before Miss Folder could be released.
The physician then extracted the nee
die, and the wound will soon heal, but
the experience is one which will doubt
less be remembered by the victim for
a long time.
