the three falls. Close up-and it is
really the only place of vantage from
which one can see the falls properly
and take in the awful grandeur and
power of the great mass of water.
After the novel trip on the Maid-of-
the Mist, it was nearly dark, so my
visit to Niagara Falls was finished.
Returning to the hotel, I bad an ele-
CANT supper, and was afterwards told
that within the memory of the Oldest
citizens (they have these old fellows
up here, too) the falls had receded
over 100 feet, showing that the great
rocks that make the falls are constant
ly wearing away.
After good nights rest, l boarded
the east bound Lake Shore Limited at
$50 o'clock, and arrived at Albany at
8 p. M, where boarded an accommo-

pleasant feature of which was the

TO BE CONTINUED.

SITUATION OF THE GARDEN OF
EDEN.-The home Of our first parents
is generally believed to have been sit.
uated in the highlands of Central Asia,
but it has been found quite impossible
to locate the exact spot. Many futile
attempts have been made to recon.
cile with modern belief the mythical
geography of the gardens situation, as
described in the second. chapter, OF
Genesis, verses 10 to IA. The river
which went out of the garden is there
stat ed to have divided into four heads
Pison, comprising the land of Havilah
Gibon, comprising the whole of Ethio-
pia Hiddekel, going east toward AS
syria, and Euphrates. The Euphrates
is we'll known. Hiddekel is supposed
to be the name of the Tigris; but as
to the other two rivers, opinions have
been almost as varied as the number
of writer's on the point, whose name is
legion. Havilah is the general desig-
nation of South Arabia, Abyssinia,
and perhaps India Cush is the name
for Ethiopia, and the southern lands
of Africa and Asia generally. Schra-
der, following the early tradition,
which goes back as far as Josephus,
identifies Glhon with the Nile, and
Pson with one of the great rivers OF
India; Ewald and Dillmann find the
two rivers in the Ganges and Indus ;
Lassen, Kuobel, Renan and Spielgel
think Pison stands for the Indus, and
Gihon for the Oxus. The late English
General Gordon, famed both for his
heroism and his rare child-like faith in
God, believed in the identity of the
Seychelles Islands with the Garden OF
Eden, and the Identification of the
cocodemer, or double cocoanut, with
the forbidden fruit, by which our first
parents fell.

George, don't do that. That man has
almost ruined you now, and he wants
to get me so he can kill me, cause he
hates me on an old grudge.' Taylor,
who, by this time, was frenzied with
his losses and liquor, merely said, Go
away, Jim, and let me alone. I am
bound to get even with him yet but I
won't put you up for no 81 ,20O.' Send
that niger away reGorted Butler; Il
am playing this game, and I want no
interference and he fairly glared at
George through his bloodshot eyes as
he said, Name your price that you will
put up that nigger for and III put up
the stake" I'll put him up for $4,000
and nothing less,' said Taylor.
Agreed said Butler, and he produced
the amount, which was only a part of
the money he had won from Taylor.
"'Whose deal is it ?" said Butler,
"It's my DEAL said Taylor. Mean
while Sallie, Jim's sister, who had
been looking on while holding one of
the children in her arms, ran back into
the ladies' cabin to Mrs. Taylor, and
said, "Lor', Missus, Mas George is
playing off Jim with that gambler
Butler, an if you don't hurry we'll
lose him. Mrs. Taylor started down
the cabin to where they were playing,
and on reaching the table said,
George, don't play for jim; he's
like one of the family, and we can't
do without him and Sallie.' 'Jim's
up said Butler, 'and he's got to be
played for Mrs. Taylor then despon-
dinghy said, If you win him will you
let US redeem him at New Orleans ?"
II make no promises, said Butler,
with bis soft hat pressed down over
his forehead. "Give me two cards.
he said in a mauldin tone of voice.
Taylor laid down two cards, and dealt
himself two more, when he asked
Butler what he had. Butler threw
down a pair of aces, pair of kings
and a jack. Taylor gasped and fell
back in his chair, at the same time
dropping on the table pair of queens
and pair of tens. Butler put up his
roll of bills, took from bis pocket
pair of handouts, and, looking over at
jim, who was holding on his masters
chair, said, Come here, Jim, 1 want
you. Bring your bundle down with
me on deck Jim falteringly said,
Let me 60 back in the cabin
moment and bid missus good-by.'
Butler said, $50 ahead, and be
quick about it, Jim accompanied
Mrs. Taylor and Sallie back to the
ladies' cabin, and after bidding his
mistress, the children and his sister
good-by, said, II hope we shall all
meet in that world you have so often
told me about Then with one bound
he cleared the rail and landed in the
waves back of the wheel. He tossed
up and down for few seconds with
his arms up over his head and then
disappeared.
"'Man overheard" rang out from
the lower deck. Jbe boat was stop
ped, the yawl lov. cred and manned,
but no sign Of poor Jim. Nothing but
his hat floating on the waves of the
wheels. After few minutes the yawl
came back with the hat, the only rem
nant of Jim."

CUBAN COMPLICATIONS.
General Gomez Washes His Hands of the
Whole Business.

General Gomez Washes His Hands of the
Whole Business.
General Maximo Gomez today in
formed Governor General Brooke that
he could no longer act as representa-
tive of the Cuban assembly in the dis
tribution of the S3,000,0OO appro-
priated for the payment of the Cuban
troops, says Havana cable of Mon
day.
General Gomez added that he had
arrived at this decision with great re-
luctance and with the most friendly
feelings toward General Brooke per-
sonally and officially; but he felt he
could no longer represent the Cuban
army, because a cabal, composed of
many of the subordinate commanders,
existed to oppose, and, if possible, de-
feat the plans for partitioning the
money. He explained that former
members of the Cuban military assem-
bly,, led by Msyia Rodriguez, Manuel
Sauguilly, Juan Gualberto Gomez and
Other malcontents, who had organized
a majority of the officers against him
apparently, and though be Gomez
might persist and possibly carry the
payment to a successful conclusion,
he was disgusted and wished to wash
his hands of the whole business.
Therefore be thought best to leave
General Brooke free, as the latter
could act with equal effectiveness.
General Brooke, expressing sympa-
thy with General Gomez, said he re-
gretted the position he had taken.
1t was then mutually agreed that
General Gomez will issue a manifesto
to the Cuban army tomorrow. After
it has been issued General Brooke may
make a declaration concerning the
manner in which be will proceed. He
is determined not to be triaed with.
He has the rolls of the privates and
non commissioned officers who are
willing to accept SIS each, and this
amount will be offered on the alterna-
tive of forcible disarmament.

the sword then hanging above the head

the sword then hanging above the head
of her sick mother as the sword OF
Damocles hung suspended by a single
hair.
She was glad in her heart that her
care and anxiety for her mother would
naturally account for the absence of
any exhibition of great or noisy grief
for her husband. The doctor spoke of
the loss of the Arikhama once or twice,
and Mouncey brought her the latest de-
tails that were published in the papers,
but Mrs Hamilton was during those
first few days the object of paramount
interest. Captain Conway was gone!
All the love or loathing in the world
could not affect him any more. For him
all was over; he had already passed
among the things that have been and
shall be no more. But Mrs. Hamilton
was still alive and still needed the most
minute care and the closest attention.
She was, in spite of that terrible tragedy
Of the sea, the most important person
of that small household.
In health she did not improve. At
times faint flashes Of understanding
came back, but they were only feeble
and Pickering efforts of the clouded
brain to re-establish its mastery of what
was going on around her. If she knew
any one definitely, it was Mary, but Of
that. even, they were none of them very
certain. The nurse who was in charge
said positively that Mrs. Hamilton
knew no one Mouncey, on the other
hand. insisted that she had seen the poor
lady's {, es follow the mistress as she
moved away from the bed. This, how.
ever, was a question which no one could
decide positively, but in discussing 1T
the onlookers, although it is proven
bial that onlookers see most of the game,
never realized that in anxiety for her
mother Mrs. Conway suffered no grief
for her husband.
On the fourth day after the coming

Arikhama had belonged; the other was
by him introduced as the lawyer to the
company.
"You are perhaps" said Mr.. Law

Mrs. Conway, that your husband made
