an imposing and appropriate entrance

Here, amongst the distinctly mascu-

ence which had just pervaded my
waking dreams of Forest Lea. Set on
the ample oldfashioned window-ledge
were old china bowls heaped with rich
crimson and golden roses, and the
wide fireplace was filled with grace
fully grouped ferns. A shady hat
wreathed with green leaves lay on a
little spiral-legged table, close to a
large oldfashioned screen which shut
off the staircase; and near the hat had
been thrown pair of tiny gauntlet
gloves, which could never have fitted

FALSE TO AMERICANS.
Filipino Mayors Are Found to lie In
League with Insurgent Leaders.

League with InSurg~nt Leaders.
MANILA, Aug. 90, via IIongkong,
Aug. 20.--Recent events have proved
somewhat discouraging to officials
who are trying TO accompany war
with policy of conciliation. Two
new municipal governments have
collapsed through the treachery of the
mayors. Recently the mayor of San
Pedro Macati, who was elected by the
people under the direction of Profess
sor Dean Worcester, Of the United
States advisory commission for the
Philippines, was brought to Manila
and logged in Jail. The United States
officers at San Pedro Macati found
that he was using his Office as re-
cruiting station for the Philippine
army. -Four disguised insurgent Off
GERS were hcl ping him. The mayor Of
Balinag was also arrested and con fined
in the same prison. The Americans
caught him passing between the lines
OF the two armies with discriminating
documents, which the authorities Sc.
cured. Another prominent native
mayor is under surveillance. When
the result Of the election at linus,
which General Lawton and Professor
Worcester engineered, was announced,
the Americans inquired as to the
whereabouts of the peoples choice
and were informed that he was in
prison at Bilibid, where the authorl-
ties had placed him on suspicion OF
being a revolu,ionist. He was re-
leased and installed rs mayor. Such
events and conditions tend to
give color to the assertions Of foreign
residents acquainted with the native
character, who insist that great
majority of the natives sympathize
with the insurgents and elect officials
whom they know to be revolutionists

WHEELS AT THE PARIS FAIR.
Ample Preparations Being Made to Show
UicYcleA.

The wheel, according to the New
York Herald, will occupy an honored
place at the Paris exposition. No
where in the world are there more en-
thusiastic wheelmen than the members
of the famous Touring Club de France,
and they have not been slow to avail
themselves Of this opportunity to draw
the attention of the civilized world to
the modern wheel with all its latest
improvements. A committee was ap-
pointed some time ago to see about
the construction OF building in which
the wheels could be exhibited, and
about the selection of suitable site,
and now the news comes that an ad-
mirable site has been granted by the
authorities in charge Of the exposition,
and that on it stately building will
be erected within a very short time.
The site is near the Eiffel tower, and
close to the entrance of the Champ de
Mars. Anyone who knows Paris will
see that 20 better site could have
been selected. All the visitors to the

Ing attracted by the artistic edifice that
+ to be reared in honor Of the ubiquit-
Gus wheel. The building has been de-
signed by M. Gustave Rives, and is
described by those who have seen his
plans as marvel of beauty. No pains
will certainly be spared SO far as orna-
mentation and other decorations are
concerned. Contracts for this and all
other necessary work will soon be
awarded, and it is expected that the
building will be completed at an early
date. American as we'll as foreign
,wheelmen will doubtless spend many a
pleasant hour in this building. Hard
ly week passes that some attempt is
not made to improve the bicycle In
one direction or another, and if we
would find out about these so-called
improvements and learn how many OF
them are really worth anything we
must study them at our leisure in
this place. That thousands will do so

why Women Fight SeasIckness.

Are women more subject to seasick-
ness than men," An Atlantic captain
replies: Yes, but. on the other hand,
they stand it better. A woman strug-
giles up to the point of despair against
the-what l might call the improprie-
ty of the thing. She isn't so much
tortured by the pangs as she is wor-
ried by the prospect OF becoming dis
heveled, haggard and draggled. She
fights against it to the last and keeps
up appearances as long as she can

STALKING A PEACOCK.

"The gods made nine gems, but only
one peacock" says a proverb of India,
the native and ancient home Of the
beautiful bird. The proverb, however,
is not strictly in keeping with facts.
There are two peacocks-the bird OF
the peacock Of the far East, of Java,
Burmah and Siam. 1t is legend o:
the Indian jungles that leopards ane
tigers can fascinate peacocks, and a
writer in the London Spectator refers
to the experience of Colonel Tytler to
show how strong Is the faith Of the ma
tives in the story.
Colonel Tytler, while stalking pea
cock, was surprised to see how near it
allowed him to approach. The bird
paid no attention to him, but was gaz-
ing intently, as If fascinated, at little
patch of jungle just in front.
Looking in the same direction, he
saw a leopard stealing on it's belly
toward the bird. He was surprised,
but his establishment was greater when,
on raising his gun. one barrel Of which
was loaded with ball, and covering the
animal, the leopard threw up its paws,
and shrieked in a voice hoarse with
terror, mo, Sahib, no, don't fire.!
Colonel Tytler for a moment thought
he must be going mad. The next mo-
ment he saw man disguised in q

State Department Renders an Opinion
Declining to Recognize Claim of
Austro-Hungarian Government for
Indemnity on Account of Hungari-

Washington, Feb. 9.-The state de-
partment, after mature consideration,
has declined to recognize the claim of
the Austro-Hungarian government for
indemnity on account of the Hungari
an strikers killed by Sheriff Martins
posse at HaZeltOn, Pa, September 10,
1897. The departments action is
based on special opinion prepared by
Solicitor w. L. Penfeld, covering the
entire field of national responsibility
in such cases of mob violence or riot
ing, which probably will form the
basis of future decisions in that line. In
his opinion Solicitor Penfield says:
''No government insures absolute
security of all foreigners who may
happen to be within it's territory.
Aliens as we'll as nationals, are bound
to respect the laws, institutions and
constituted authorities of the state in
whose territory they reside. They are
treated the same as nationals and like
the latter they are, in the case Of in
fraction of penal law, prosecuted and
punished. In particular, if they take
part IN an lnSufr0CtlOn or IN CIVIL
war, the treatment to which they ex
pose themselves in such lawless ac-
tons affords no legitimate ground for
diplomatic intervention. The respon-
sibility of governments toward for
eigners is not more extensive than
that of foreign sovereign toward his
own subjects. The duties of hospital
