It was only half past eight. "What
shall do 10 the next two hours?" she
asked herself.
She had never been down town alone
much later than this.
After walking q block up Main
street, she stopped on the corner to
wait for the uptown car.
Looking across the street, she saw,
to her great relief, Tom Logan, her
sten0grapher.
It was wonder she knew him, for
she had scarcely ever looked at him.
He was new addition to the estab-
lishmept, and was so quiet and shy.
But in an instant she had crossed
over to him, and, with a woman g in
tuition, felt that she could trust him.

A week had passed; Jones had hap
pened to walk home with her nearly
every evening.
Once or twice they had taken supper
together downtown.
She was happier than she had been
for years, not because she was in love,
for she WAS not; but this was change

life.

Ing 1t, 1t Is almost sure In every case.
(Cheers) I would like to quote my
president, for the last words I heard him
say were that the United States today
were on better terms with every nation
on the face Of the earth than ever be-
fore. (Cheers.)
Now, l have little more to say Of my
own country. (Cries Of Go on.") Our
young republic hard hard work during
the past century to subdue the conti-
nent and to turn a wilderness into a
f1ourishing and wealthy garden But
that business is now practically finished,
and So last year, your brother Jona-
than started out to see the world. He
donned seven league, nay 700 league,
boots and planted his footsteps on the
isles of the sea. And what gigantic
strides he made-Hawai, then Manila,
and another step my Lord. Charles would
have brought him to Hong Kong. Well,
our interest and commerce differ only
In degrees, and 1t isl won't say, as
Lord Charles Beresford did, by putting
fleets side by side-but by common
purpose and united voice for us to
command peace for mutual support Of
commerce to both countries"
ALMOST ONE PEOPLE.
After paying eloquent tributes to the
late Baron Herschell and to Rudyard
Kipling. Mr.. Choate concluded as follows:
Gentlemen, we are almost one people.
What I say is, let our voice always be
lifted together for the cause of human
progress and the advancement of civiliZa-
ton, and my word for 1t, If that can be
always followed then law, ORDER peace
and freedom, which are followers Of COM
merce the world over, will prevail, and
the cause Of humanity will be advanced"
(Cheers.)
Baron Russell, of Killowen, the lord
chief justice, who followed Mr. Choate,
complimented him upon his eloquence
wit and the depth Of his observations and
the statesmanlike tone that pervaded his
speech.
The other speakers dealt with matters
of local interest.
The chairman, who said he Joined most
cordially in welcoming the American am
bassador, expressed the hope that dur
ing his tenure Of office no cloud would
ever arise between England and the Unit
ed States. The proceedings then termi-
mated.
Mr.. Choate spoke deliberately, and in an
even and clear tone. His humorous re-
marks met with peals of laughter. He
had wonderful reception, made the
speech of the evening, which was listened
to with the deepest attention, and resum-
ed his seat amid perfect thunders of ap-
plause, Lord Russell personally congrat-
ulating him. T.

The morning papers editorially compIi-
ment Mr.. Choate upon the success and
brilliance of his speech last evening. The
Daily Telegraph says:
"a speech In better taste could not be
conceived. 1t was transparently sincere
and cordial, without suspicion of "gush,''
brimful of eloquence hu1lor and pathos,
and, however high the standard of ora

BARON BIEDENFELD FREE.
Jury Acquitted Him-Of the Killing
of Charles Mcdonald.

CHICAGO, March 15.-Baron Curt Won
Biedenfeld was acquitted tonight of the
charge of murder in the killing Of Con-
stable Charles Macdonald. The jury re-
turned verdict of not guilty at o'clock,
after six hours of deliberation. Eight OF
the twelve jurors voted for verdict Of
not guilty on the first ballot. On the next
ballot two more voted to let the prisoner
go free, and then they deliberated for five
hours. Another ballot finally unlocked
the bars and bolts OF the baron's cell.
When the jurors came into the court
room they were looking as if they were
hungry and tired. The baron did not
show tremor while awaiting his fate
The usual formal questions were asked
and the jurors had answered, saying it
was the verdict Clerk Lautsch read It,
Immediately the baron arose and held out
his hand, first to one juror and then to
another, grasping the hand of each in O
warm, vice-like grip.

One Juror Henry c. Latis, refused to
shake hands with the man he had helped
to make free.
Immediately Clerk Lautsch made out
the discharge from the county Jail and
the baron hurried down the hidden ele-
vator for the last time. When he got to
the Jail he had nothing to do but gather
up the bundles he had made ready in ad-
left his cell. AS he was going the news
of his acquittal spread through the Jail
and the prisoners set up a mighty yell.
The baron had made himself popular in
the Jail, and cheer after cheer rang
through the gloomy corridors In token Of
approval of the verdict. The baron was
flushed, as if it We're an unexpected fiat

This murder was one of peculiar do
liberation and atrocity. To interfere with
the course of the law In this case could
be justified only on the ground that never

HAVANA, March 15.-Gen. Gomez has
decided to proceed with the plans agreed
upon for distributing the So, 100000 to the
Cuban troops on disbanding, as though
the military assembly did note exist. He
conferred for two hours today with Gov.
Gen. Brooke regarding details.
Gen. Brooke asked Washington several
days ago whether in case he dissolved
the assembly his action would be ap-
proved. The cabled reply authorized him
to dissolve that body if, in his judgment,
such an act was necessary. He hopes
accord to hold its sessions, but, should
sessions be disquieting to the public mind,
he will intervene.
Havana is much more quiet today, and
less excitement is noticeable This is
partly due to the fact that the assem-
