whclmiag force of the realization which
followed, that the moon which shone
with such refreshment for moment
was even then hidden by the black
waves of the Atlantic, and that every
feeting sound was bearing her farther
and farther away, to set beyond the
clouds, beyond the possibility of even
one more passing glimpse.
The memory of one week before
came back to haunt him as night gath
cred. Involuntanly he was living it all
over again. Step by step he seemed
forced to follow it, and every step was
bereft of all but Observation-Disclosures
and utter loneliness.
Even the discovery that 1t had been
such strength and comfort to him to
know that she was as near as Brooklyn
filled him with dismay. The wild, un-
comfortable, almost incoherent ram
blings of his mind startled him. His
plans We're methodically laid for his
departure the following day, but mac
ton was uncomfortable. 1t was very I'M
like John Olmstead's nephew, but it only
made matters so much the worse that
he fully realized the fact. In strug-
gle to escape he started that night for
California.
by degrees the strange week sank
into something like the memory of
an ugly dream. Often he seemed to
himself to be still dreaming. AS the
train rumbled on he sometimes tried to
rouse himself, with vague sense that
If he succeeded he should discover that
it was only dream. Yet as often as
he made the attempt he shuddered lest
he might succeed; for in it there was
something more real than reality as he
knew it, and even at that moment he
would not have had it all dream.
The man on one side of the two-line
advertisement and the man on the
other side were two painfully distinct
and different creatures. The change
was not agreeable. 1t resulted in no
end of misery, and nothing else; yet in
the midst of the misery there was some
thing SO agreeable and beautiful that
nothing in the old life could compare
with it.
| If the turning of his hand would have
| taken him back again to the time before
| that advertisementa appeared, he would
not have turned his hand.
| If he could only have understood him
self it would have been very different.
But he did not understand. However
much or little Robert Stanton knew,
he certainly did not know that the new
sentiment possessing him was love.

coming into the troubled heart of Rob-

longer, till black clouds filled the
break, and with sigh, a groan, nature
sank back again into the stormy night

glimpse, may feel, in analogy, the over

Thorndille. Indeed, it was difficult to
hold gratuitous information away; but
with a keen native sense of honor,
greatly overstrained and intensified as
it was by the strange circumstances,
he felt that it would be the height of
disloyalty for him to permit himself to
know anything beyond what Esther
Thorndike had herself communicated.
The day Of her departure found him
as ignorant as ever, and only so many
days deeper in the new sentiments and
their attendant morbid desperation.
Shortly after the hour for the sailing
of the days steamers messenger boy
brought him card bearing the words:
May the best of life be yours, always.

an itinerary for journey of one year,

NEGRO RAVIsHERS.
Five White Women Assaulted in Little
Rock Arkansas.

LITTLE ROCK, August 16.-Five
brutal assaults on white women, in ev-
cry case by a negro, have occurred IN
Little Rock in the past "a hours. The
victims of the assault are all highly re-
spected and all were attacked in the
suburbs of the city. In each case the
negro was frightened away after his
victim had been brutally beaten and
bruised.
These outrages We're brought to the
attention of Governor Jones and he at
once offered a reward of $500 each for
the arrest and conviction of the assail-
ants.
Four negroes have been arrest I'd as
suspects and lodged in Jail. They all an
swer the description given by some of
the victims. Ed Wright has been posi-
lively identified by Mrs. Kennedy of
Fourteenth and Jones streets as the
man who assaulted her.
AS soon as darkness fell men began
focking toward the vicinity of the Jail,
and by 10 o'clock fully 5000 We're on the
streets. About 1870 o'clock an attempt
was made to storm the Jail. The leader
of the mob was arrested by Sheriff
Kavanaugh on a charge of melting a
riot, and lodged in Jail. There are still
many men in the streets near the Jail,
and the sheriff, anticipating another at
tack has placed a heavy guard at the

n Strong, Forcible, Orthodox Letter.
FRosTBURG, MD, Jan. -, 1899.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
Replying in the Star to my last letter
on the merit system, "A Platform
Republican" seems to infer that | OBJ
ject to organization.
| have no quarrel with organization
for public purposes. In fact, it APP
pears to be the only method by which
much can be accomplished under our
form of government.
But organization which exists for
partisan welfare, with a public pur-
pose as Il mere excuse for its existence,
or at best only a secondary cOnSidera-
ton, is very different matter.
Under the spoils system this is what
IL party organization rapidly becomes.
The offices become the zeal object for
which it exists and the public pur-
poses, about which ''platforms' talk,
serve only to amuse and beguile the
voter.
AS practical illustration of this we
have recent number of the Iona
coming Star stating that Mr.. Pearre' $
large majority was, in its opinion, due
to his having expressed Il desire to re-
peal the existing civil service law and
let the boys have the Offices. From
which we are to infer that the pro-
posed change in our foreign policy,
probably AS pregnant with good on
evil as anything which has ever been
before the country, to say nothing OF
the currency question, Is Il secondary
consideration.
In the matter of reward for faithful
service, the advocates of the merit
system object only to the use of puj'ic
money, under the spoils system, as a
reward for purity services. They hold
that the public revenue is contributed
by the whole people, and should be
used for their benefit only. Any
diversion of it to the advantage Of amy
party, class or clique Of citizens is Il
breach of trust.
"a Platform Republican" appears
to see an objection to the merit sys-
TEN in the fact that lis present appIi-
cation retains more democrats than
republicans in office.
This concerns only those who might
obtain the offices should the incum-
bents be turned out. 1t is Il cOudl-
ton which must necessarily obtain
whenever d change is made from the
spolls to the merit system. II IN no
wise affects the public welfare, and its

TOWN AND VICINITY
Nothing to Regret.


The gossip over the alleged attempt
of Bernard H. Trussell and Miss Bessy
j. Coulehan to elOpe and get married
has about died out. The young man
is visiting Shepherdstown, W. Va,
his former home, and the sensational
statements current at the moment of
excitement have simmered down to
the sober conclusions that, however
much Miss Bessy may have been en-
amored of the proposal to join the
happy sisterhood of brides, she was at
the last loyal to her mother and averse
to leaving her. She stoutly denies
having gone to the railroad sta
ton, or having intended to do 50
without consulting her mother, and all
the circumstances appear to bear her
out. Be this as it may, there was
nothing discreditable in the affair to
anybody concerned. Elopements have
been planned and succeeded, planned
and failed, but each has history
more or less peculiar to itself-a his
tory sometimes married by greater en-
thusiasm on the groom's side than on
that of the bride, and history some
times saddened by tina: almost invari-
able enlistment of public sympathy on
the side of the pair and against the al
legged "cruel parents

Miss Harriet Porter died Wednesday

age. She was the eldest daughter of
the late Thomas Porter, and a sister of
Messrs. John l.. and Thomas G.. Porter,
of this place.
Mrs. Laura jackson Frost, a former
resident of Frostburg, Md, died Sat
urday, Jan. II, 1899, at her home in
Pittsburg, Pa, after an illness of ten
days of pneumonia. Funeral services
were held at the family residence on
Boquet street Sunday afternoon the
remains reached Frostburg Monday
afternoon and were laid to rest beside
her husband in Allegany cemetery.
The floral tributes were numerous and
beautiful. Mrs. Frost was christian
lady of sterling character, loved and
honored by all who knew her. She
had been devOut member of the
Presbyterian Church for many years.
She left four devoted children to
NOUN the loss of a devoted mother
three sons-Thomas and Joseph Frost,
of Pittsburg; Frank, of Mex eesport,
and one daughter-Miss Mamie, of

the funeral and interment were Col. l..
H. Trook, of Cumberland Mrs. Harry
Frost, of Rawlings Mr.. and Mrs.

presentation here is simply another
example of the tendency of spoilsmen
to place party interests before public
welfare.
Furthermore, this will right itself
Under the present civil service law the
appointments are open to all citizens
alike. Republicans, democrats, pro-
hibtiouists, populists, men and women
all stand on even terms in accord
ance with the principles Of representa-
tive government, Fair field and no
favor"
This is all any man should ask. Ii
any party obtains It majority under
such conditions 1t is due to the super
Tor ability of the members of that
party, and the public reaps the benefit
in more efficient service.

test against it must nave existed
