Pride and affection played alternately in the bear

eyes of the strange mistress of Isaac's heart. She
seemed to be above the ordinary Jewish village maid
in her demeanor and intelligence.

fhe whitefriars' Club Dinner TO the
American Humorisu.
London, June 1.-THE dinner which
the WhitefTiars club gave Mark Twain
last evening at the Hotel Cecil was a
remarkable tribute to the author and
at the same time to the friendly re-
lations existing between Great Britain
and the United States Each of the
speakers, among whom were Rev. S.
Reynolds Hole, United States Senator
elect Chauncey NJ Depew and Mr..
Pultney Bigelow, dwelt upon this
theme
Mr.. Louis Frederic Austin, in pro-
posing Mark Twain's health, said:
What most appeals to men and wo-
men in his own calling and what will
ever cause his name to be associated
with Sir Walter Scott's in similar cir
cumstances, is his noble courage in
misfortune and the undaunted toll that
now enables him again to lift the
colors of victory"
The reply of Mr.. Clemens, who was
received on rising with prolonged
cheers, was in his happiest vein, caus-
Ing much laughter and applause.
Sir Edward Chichester, of the I'm
mortalite, who sustained Dewey at the
battle of Manila, expressed his ad
miration for Admiral Dewey and
American sailors generally. He said:
81 was glad to be at Manila, and the
visit increased my respect for the
American character. After all, blood
is thicker than water; but l must moi
go on, for a friend of mine, Captain
Coghlan, got into trouble through talk
ing the other day"

The report that times are better than they
were and that this town is enjoying the greatest
prosperity in its history is true to some extent.
-Tamaqua Recorder.
The above is taken from the "only
Democratic paper in the county" and
recognized as one of the few calam-
ity howlers. The editor, however, re-
fuses to give the Republican admins
tration proper credit for the ''im'
proved condition of the masses :" but
one year ago, when depression in
business was noted, this Inconsistent
silver advocate charged the Mckinley
administration with all the evils
known to man. II the Republican
party was responsible for the poor
times, it should be given credit for the
acknowledged improvement in busi
ness circles now.

Norfolk, June 1.-Two strange men
disembarked from the Baltimore boat
yesterday morning and in the after
noon boarded the same boat, presum-
ably with the intention of leaving it at
Old Point or Newport News. A de-
tective had been placed on watch by
Chief of Police Kiser, who was ap-
prised by wire of the Princess Anne,
Md, posto1llce robbery. They were in
vited from the boat to the dock by an
officer, and broke into a run, hotly
pursued by officers, who fired as they
ran. One of the men was overhauled.
The other ran into the arms of De-
tective West, and broke away. A ball
sent whiZzing by his ear caused him to
halt. The two men were put into a
patrol wagon and started for the po-
lice station. En- route one of them
turned a backward somersault from
between two officers and broke into a
run, but stopped when he saw he
would be killed. Besides, he had
sprained one of his ankles badly.
He said: eff you men had staring
you In the face what l have you, too,
would take desperate chances: 1 don't
blame you. You have done your duty,
and l am caught.
The men will give no information
about themselves. In fact, they refuse
to say a word. On being searched $470
in stamps was found on the man who
took such desperate chances to es-
cape. This is the amount taken from
the Princess Anne pOstoffice. Chief
Kiser is confident that these are the
men who about two weeks ago robbed
the Elizabeth City, N. O., postoffice.

The Hague. June 1.-THE drafting
committee for the arbitration tribunal
scheme. which should have met yes
terday, adjourned its sitting to Monday
next. The ostensible reason for the
adjournment was the absence of Baron
Fstournelles de Constant, of the
French delegation, who drew up the
minutes. It is possible, however, that
the delegates had not received suill-
cient instructions from their respective
governments to make frr,he" progress

THAT women have no sense of
humor has been repeated until it has
become an accepted fact, which even
women themselves take without a
grain of salt. An English writer,
however, has entered the lists on be-
half of the sex, and proclaims all
kinds of amiable things, as if he had
Just discovered them. He says, for
instance, that the feminine sense of
humor is much more subtle and ex-
tensive than the masculine quality,
and that compared to George Eliot's
manifestations the humor of Dickens
is but farcical exaggeration and bur
lesque.
