A M0duS Viendi.

Washington, Oct. 2O.-Mr. Tower. Brit
ish charge here. called at the state de-
partment today and handed Secretary
Hay a note formally accepting for his
government the proposition for the tenn
porary adjustment of the Alaskan bound
airy line proposed by Secretary Hay in
his note of yesterday. With that note
the expected modu vivendi relative to
the vexed boundary question went into
effect. This result has been brought
about through the direct negotiations of
Secretary Hay and Mr.. Tower after sew
eral failures in the past. The state de-
partment is confident it has conserved
American interests in the matter without
%unjustly treating Canada. The divisional
line, bounded on the west by the Dalton
trail, is placed 22A miles above Pyramid
hAfbor, which is regarded under the
treaty as the tidewater mark, so the
Canadians are not allowed to reach any
point on Lynn canal. Moreover there is
no permission given for a free port or
even for free ransfer across American
territory of Canadian goods except of
miners belongings. The mOdus yiyendi
follows the precedent established by Sec
rotary Evarts in 1873 in the agreement
upon a temporary boundary on the
Stickeen river, Alaska, by exchange of
notes. The line of Chilkat river Is 22A
statute miles from the head of navigation
on Chilkat inlet of the Lynn canal and
on the Klehini river, II miles further in
land, and the whole valley Of the Porcu-
pine is included within the American
lines. AS to the White n Chilkoot
passes, the line is fixed at the summit of
the watershed, being points which for
some time past have been observed by
the customs authorities OF the two coun-
tries.

CHAPTER III.

THE CHASING OF GEORGE FENTON.
This is the story of what George Fen
ton did after he left me with the corpse
in Back Saville' street that awful
night I learned it chiefly from the ao-
count which the papers gave Of the
chase by the police, but some of the de-
tails were told me afterward by Fenton
himself. After he ran out Of my sight
he had not sufficient presence of mind
to slacken his pace, and the inevitable
result was that he attracted the particu-
lar attention of the people he met. His
hat had fallen off his coat, which was
flying open, disclosed his evening dress.
In his hand he still held the hilt Of the
dagger, while his drawn, white face be-
trayed the mental agony he was under
going Even in Mayfair at that late
hour Of the night such figure rushing
along the street could hardly escape ex-
citing interest. Who first started the
chase is immaterial-probably some
loafer of the pavement-but very soon
a crowd of respectable dimensions fol-
lowed upon his heels with cries Of
"Stop, thiefl''
Their shouts at first fell upon deaf ears,
but finally, as they gained upon him,
Fenton became aware Of his pursuers.
He now seems to have remembered the
remnant Of the dagger which he still

A Wonnan's Face.
PLEASANT FEATURES ADD TO HER ATTRACTIONS
This Something all Women Can Have or Easily Acqure-Some
Simple Rules to Observe.
from the Herald, Nev Hampton, No.

The look in q woman's face is expressive
of what she is. One can easily tell whether
she is healthy, wealthy, happy or sickly.
Nothing adds more to q womans attractions
than a pleasant face and this is something
all can have or easily acquire. It's simply
obtained by cleanliness, air, light, diet, exer-
else.
Many a woman is continually cross, mo-
rose, weak, nervous, ailing; made so by the
exactions of household cares, or the condi-
ditions incident to her sex. But back of this
and the cause of all the trouble, will be
found that the system is out of order; the
blood needs toning up. When this is done
there follows, buOyancy of feeling, and a
merry household.
The preservation of q woman's graces and
charms requires care and common sense, but
no more than is bestowed upon her fine laces,
bric-a-brac, etc. The good wife keeps the
silver from tarnish, but neglects herself.
Every woman desires to be "picture of
health" and she can be, for it is only q mat.
ter of health, rather than regular features or
perfect proportions, for without the vitality
of good spirits which good health denotes, no
woman is charming.
Many woman is regretfully watching the
growing panor of her cheeks the coming
wrinkles, the thinness that becomes more
distressing every day. The best way to over
come this and acquire the pleasant look in a
story told by Mrs. A. Fox, an esteemed resi-
dent of New Hampton, Mo.

attention to hygiene should be exercised.
The attendant sufsrings will disappear and
buoyant health will follow, if DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People are used.
These pill exert powerful influence in
restoring the system to its proper condition.
They contain in condensed form all the
elements necessary to give new life and rich
ness to the blood. Consequently many kinds
of diseases are cured, as nearly all, are the
result of an impoverished condition of the
blood. Druggists consider these pills to be
the most effective and best selling ones on tho
market.

count of my doings since leaving De

Keeping back only George Fenton's
name, I said that the murderer was a
man whom had met with suddenly in
Back Saville street; that he was of dark
complexion and of middle height; that
he was standing over the cody with the
hilt of weapon in his hand; that when
accused him he fed away, making in

Governor Roosevelt Gives His Reasons
For Refusing to Interfere.


Albany, March 16.-Governor Roose-
welt has refused TO commute the sentence
OF Mrs. Martha Place, the Brooklyn
murderess, and she win be electrocuted
some day during next week at Sing Sing
prison.
In announcing his decision Governor
Roosevelt declares that there were no
circumstances to mitigate the crime. He
says: THE evidence showed that the
accused first blinded her stepdaughter
with acid and then strangled her, and,
after waiting in the house all day, when
her husband returned at dark had at
tackled him and endcayored 10 kill him
with an AK"
The governor then refers to the efforts
made to pronounce the woman insane,
and Of the overwhelming evidence of
her sanity, and concludes;
This murder was one Of peculiar de-
liberation and atrocity TO interfere
with the course OF the law in this case
could be justified only on the ground that
never hereafter, under any circum-
stances should capital punishment be in
iicted upon any murderess, even though
the victim was herself a woman, and
even though that victims torture pre-
ceded her death"

John Sherman, who is a passenger OH
board the American line steamer Paris,
Captain Frederick WatkinsA which ar
rived here last night from Trinidad
with a party of excursionists who are
making a tour of the West Indian isl
ands, is suffering from pneumonia. While
at San Juan de Porto Rico last Wed
nesday Mr.. Sherman was entertained
by Brigadier General Fred ID. Grant,
commander of the military department
of San Juan, and caught cold. The
malady was not considered serious until
Tuesday night, after leaving Port Of
Spain, when pneumonia in the most
serious form developed.
Washington, March 16.-Several tele-
grams and cablegrams were received
last night from Fort De France regard
ing former Secretary Sherman's condi-
ton. The last, which came to General
Miles at midnight, said the sufferer was
much better and serious results were not
feared From the fact that Mr.. Sherman
was in first class health when he left on
the West Indian trip the family here
has every reason to hope that he will re-
cover from the attack. as the dispatches
concerning him say he is being given
the best of care and attention. The
excursion party of which he is a member
left New York on the Paris March 4,
and was to be gone for a month. Mrs.
Sherman is at her home in this city.

tion is kept from her because of the ef-
