Part of q Murder Story.

The rising sun had scarcely kissed
the snow capped hills that surround om
peaceful city last Saturday morning
when an awful tragedy occurred on one
OF the most public thoronghfares. The
whiplike crack of rifle sounded on the
clear morning air. and leaden messen-
ger OF death crashed through the brain
of human being. summoning his soul
to the judgment bar of God without a
moments warning and with all his sins
full blown and ''ripened on the tree. "
The fatal bullet had been sent upon its
deadly mission by hand that few
hours before clasped his victims hand
In friendship. One now lies in the cold
embrace of death and occupies mound
in the silent city on the hill; the other
iangnishes in the county Jail. alone
with his conscience and his deed as he
awaits the outcome CT the trial for muir.

When Love Wa. Numbered.

"Ah." she said. stroking his soft
curls and looking regretfully into his
upturned face-he was kneeling beside
her-"you will not think me cruel. will
your You will be brave and try to for
get me, won't your You do not know
how sorry am to be compelled to say
mo- to You. Under other circumstances
we might have been happy together.
but as it is must be frank with you.
There is no hope"
His whole frame was shaken by a
great sob
Then he looked appealingly into her
fawnlike eyes and asked:
"Why is it, Virginia. that you are 50
sure we cannot be happy together
Why may l not hopper"
''There is an impossible barrier be.
tween us. she replied. "You are the
champion golf player Of this state. and
my mother is president of the Society
For the Suppression of Dialect; SO there
you are :"
Realizing that his dream Of bliss was
at an end. he went away humming
softly
Alas, that love should foozle thus,
She put it pat to me,
And we may never, never suit
Each other to tee!

Poison In the Blood O. the Eel.

II has been known for years that the
blood Of cells contains "A highly poison
ous principle. A dog inoculated with a
dozen drops Of cells blood dies in ten
minutes. This discovery was made about
ten years ago by two Italian brothers
name Mosso. The poison is readily de-
stroyed by heat and by mere lapse of
time, wherein it differs from snake
poison. which long retains its virulence.
Moreover, eel serum is harmless when
to the processes Of digestion. If serum
be taken from an animal that has been
rendered immune TO snake poison and
injected under the skin of an eel. the
poisonous property of the cells blood is
thereby impaired. Selnm taken from an
eel Is naturally about throo times as
poisonous AS the serum of the most
vicious viper.
Although diluted eel serum may pro-
tect an animal from so deadly poison
MS viper venom, the converse does not
hold good; the serum Of vipers is no
protection against the poison Of eeis'
serum Serum obtained from animals
gradually trained up to withstand fatal
doses OF serpent venom differs from or
binary serum in the astonishing rapidity
OF its action. Not only its protective.
but also its undoubted curative power
has been established. Good Words

that circular in existence. but it un-

the whisky men Of the country were
hot after q bottle that couldn't be re-

DECLINED BY MIR. PORTER.
A Bureau That is Likely to Become
the Colonial Department..

Mr.. Robert P. Porter, special commits
Washington today and called on the Pres
ident. He has just returned from an ex-
tended European trip, in which he has
studied the commercial relations between
several countries and the United States.
He has formally rendered his resignation to
Secretary Gage as special commissioner, his
work in the islands and especially in Cuba
having terminated with his mission to Gen.
Gomez in last February, which resulted in
the disbandment of the Cuban army, the
first practical step toward the establish
nent of a civil government in Cuba. Mr..
Porter was asked by the President to con-
tinue the commissionership under the War
Department and organize the customs and
insuiar division, the work of which is
equivalent, on account of the volume of
business and the Importance of the sub
jects under consideration, to a department
by itself. Owing to business engagements,
Mr.. Porter will not be able TO accept the
position, but it Is understood that the final
revision of the Cuban tariff, which he drew
last year and has yielded such wonderful
results, will be intrusted to his care.
The many colonial affairs are pressing
upon the time of War Department officials,
and it is desired to have most of them
brought under one bureau. with a compe
tent head. From this bureau, the various
elements of which are now much scattered,
is expected to grow a department of COM
merce and colonies, at the head of which
will be a cabinet officer.

THE SIX NEW CRUISERS.
Some Factors I'm the Award of the
COntracts

The bids for the six new cruisers opeued
at the Navy Department yesterday have
been turned over to the board on construc-
ton, which will pass upon their merits be-
fore the bids are awarded. This will take
perhaps two weeks, as the builders plans
which are an important factor in the prob
lem will have to be carefully examined to
ascertain their relative merits. The most
of the old firms represented in the bids
simply adhered to the Department. plans.
an indication that the experienced builders
are more ready than in former years TO
take the calculations of the Navy Depart
ments experts as to what results may be
expected in the combination of lines and
indicated horse power. The results of re-
cent speed trials on the departments plans
nave proved repeatedly that the navy's cal
culations in that problem may be relied on
to nicely The Kentucky and the recent
torpedo boats have come up to their calcu-
lated speed within the smallest fraction of
a knot. That showing is considered a dis
tinct triumph by the Navy Department Off
cials.
Some of the builders plans for the new
boats promise a much higher speed than
the department plans call for. Certain
builders guarantee a speed from half a
Knot TO TWO Knots in excess of the seven
teen knots required. Other things being
equal the boat with the highest speed will
be the most acceptable but an increase
iiOiA StNSillSeH 10 nineteen Knots
practically doubling the engine power,
which in turn means increasing the space
Tor machinery. The department will not
allow that to be done at the expense of the
bunker capacity, and there are objections
to crowding every inch of space between
decks, as has been done in the case of
some of the foreign-built vessels purchased
just prior to the recent war. All these fac
tors will have to be considered in awarding
the bids.
The low price of some of the bids was
rather surprise to the department I'm
view of the advance in the price Of material
during the past few months. 1t was said
however, that the vessels will not be
completed for almost three years, the bid
ders We're relying on "a reduction in price
OF material consequent on the productive
capacity of the country having caught nm
with the increased demand In the course of
the coming year.
1t Is said at the department that prob-
ably not more than one ship will go to anv
one bidder, that being the present policy.
one vessel at least will undoubtedly go TO
the Pacific coast, while the others prob
ably will be constructed on the eastern sea
