SHE WAS A SECRET SERVICE SPY
Demure Miss Didn't Know French,
Rut Reported All She Heard.

But Reported All She Heard. !
New Orleans Times Democrat: The
rue story of the operations OF the
secret service before and during the
campaign would startle the conserv-
atives. 1t was the one department in
which il wasn't necessary TO consult
public opinion, and all sorts OF queer
schemes were resorted to to get ne
cessary information. / call to mind
a little incident which will Illustrate
the point. Shortly after the begin
ming of hostilities a certain foreign
consul was suspected of furnishing
side information TO the enemy. "A
few days later he employed a very
pretty and demure young lady as MS
private stenographer. She assured
him that she spoke no enc ana
was present during several conversa-
tons that were held in that language
with mysterious callers. In a week or
so the demure young lady made a de-
tailed report to the secret service, in
GLIDING the salient points of the con-
ferences mentioned and numerous let
tiers stolen bodily from the consul's
files. He had not yet fully commit
ted himself, but he was plainly on the
road. A few words from his minister
brought him suddenly to his senses.
That was only one of dozens of deli
cate affairs that were successfully
handled under the rose, but might
easily have developed into interna-
tional complications if they had been
given to the public. During that crit
zeal period a great mdny people in
private life gave confidential aid to
the department. One of It's most
trusted agents was a business man OF
this city, who would certainly be
about the last person to be suspected
in such connection. He was delegated
to keep an eye on an energetic junta
protected by several Spanish sympa'
thizers. The.junta died a-borning.

graph lines and express companies
we're given a hearing before the state
assessment board yesterday afternoon,
and while no action was taken toward

value, and that railroads should he
placed on practically the same basis,
estimating their actual value 10 be

ST. James Gazette: Describing the hab-

ripre of Milan says that he Is so DESTROYS
of being considered still robust that,
though he always makes use Of a thick
stick while walking, he no sooner OBJ
serves some stranger approaching than
he swings his stick from hand to hand,
scarcely using 1t. He has excellent sight
and can read without glasses. He ls
quite delighted when he has shown that
he can support all the fatigues OF relig-
ious functions, official visits and the not
light weigh of pontifical robes during
some ceremony He is rather careless OF
his health during his restless nights. he
wears when in bed warm stockings and
garments Of the finest flannel, and when
he is seized with a poetical inspiration
I'm the middle Of the night he rises troHi
his bed, and, without waking MS falthtul

down a Latin d.stich by the light or the
night lamp, and will sometimes lingsr

that have been reported as real Illnesses.
Formerly the pope would not hear OF oth-

he has yielded to the remonstrances OF
