tated as she stood on the wharf peer
ing into the cabin OF the approaching

A heavy cart horse, which she did
not see In her eagerness. nearly step
ped upon her in the darkness and In

Palmer. quickly drawn her aside TO
safer place to stand.

the wharf he greeted Miss Grant in
truly courtier-like manner. very pref
tily raising her hand to his lips and

DEWEY RECEPTION.
Only the Governor, His Staff and Stale 0filoals
VIII Attend.

Gov. Dyer has finally decided that Il
would be ipexpedient TO send state
troops 10 New York TO take part in the
welcome TO Admiral Dewey, owing to
the fact that there has been no ade-
quate provisi,Di made in New York for
quartering the men If they were sent
on. and that there is difficulty in Sc
curing means OF transportation without
going To an expense wholly beyond
what IL is believed the state should inc
cur at this time. The state will be rep
resented by the governor and his staff
and perhaps all of the state officials.
Gov. Dyer will notify the committee
Of arrangements in New York of his
decision and endeavor to find out wnat
accommodations will be provided for
the state officials and the members OF
his staff If 1T is decided TO send the
former to represent the state.

fellow, and he had suffered so long
with us that IL went next to my heart
TO kill him. He had a heart OF steel.
for no man ever walked to take a drink
more quietly Than his fellow ray down

"If you all live said Hoffman, Just
remember me. This thing was just a
fair gamble, and lost. If any of you

two men died their veins were slashed
and the blood sucked out. OF his own
sufferings he said:
