CHAPTER CONTINUED.

At last we reached More's, and as we
entered the hall could not help won
dering if the good Parisians knew that
their king was playing at primero in an
ordinary of the city, and would be later
on, perhaps, pursued by the watch.
More, whom | had not seen since my
affair with d'Ayen, was in the hall, and
AT a word from de Belin, conducted us
himself up the stairway, though look
ing askance at me. We at length gained
long corridor at the beginning OF
which Pantin was left. Through the
closed doors of a private dining-room
at the end of this we could hear shouts
of laughter. His majesty and NJ. de
Nitry arrived scarce a half hour ago."
whispered More as we approached the
door.
1--WE will not trouble you further" re-
piled the compte; "it is the rule at
these little parties to enter unan-
nounced." With these words he put
his hand TO the door, and went in, fol-
lowing at his heels. There were at
least ten or dozen men in the room
standing round a table, at which sat
the king engaged at play with NJ. de
Bassompierre. Neither the king nor
Bassompierre, who seemed absorbed
in the game, took the least notice of our
entrance, nor did they seem in the
least disturbed by the constant laugh
ter and converse that went on. The
others, however, stopped, and then
burst out in joyous greetings of de
Belin, and very naughty glances at me.
In the meantime the king played on,
taking no notice of anyone, his beaked
nose dropping lower toward his chin as
he lost one roulcau after another ia

''Ventre st. Girls" he exclaimed at

"Yes; where is BironP | am sick OF

loser, rose from his seat impatiently, al
the same time forgetting to hand over
the last rouleau of pistoles he had lost
10 Bassompierre, and thrusting them
back into his pocket with an absent
gesture.
As if in answer 10 his question, the
door opened, admitting the slight fig
ure and handsome face of de Gle.
where is the marshal? Where is Bi

"Yes, NJ. de Gle" put in the king
"where is Biron?"
"Sire, the marshal is indisposed. He

not been here for two years, will lecture,
subject to be announced The colonel is
scheduled to give the first hearing of his
new lecture, 1.-THE Devil" at the Boston
Theatre next Sunday evening, and itmay
be that he will deliver the~same here. The

Iloilo collapsed like a house of cards
before the thunder of the American
guns. The Filipinos may continue to
annoy us by guerilla warfare, but their
so-called army, which resisted Spain so
long and obstinately, seems to have
been all but annihilated. Bushwhack-
ing, brigandage and piracy have always
been characteristic of the Philippine,
and even If these things should con-
tinue under American rule, life in the
islands would be quite as tolerable as
before. Time will be needed to sup
press the habits of violence that have
become confirmed during the many
years of Spanish misrule, but the ma
tives will ultimately learn that they
now have rulers to deal with who are
made of wholly different stuff from the
Spaniards They will find and indeed
have already found, as much difference
after the victory as in the battle itself
and the fact that humanity and justice
will henceforth take the place of cruelty
and oppression must count for much in
the process of pacification. As for
fighting in the bush, American regulars
who have hunted red Indians are not
likely to stand in great awe of oriental
savages.

The Philippines offer an attractive
field to ethnologists. There are said to
be scarcely less than rs distinct tribes
in the archipelago, six or more being of
Mohammedan faith and many other
pagan. The Tagals ordinarily count as
aborigines, but in reality they are the
descendants of invaders. The aborig-
inal people are the Negrotes. Then
came the Ingrotes from China, and
next the Tagals. who seem to be of
Indian origin. Both invading races were
finally assimilated with the true ma
tives, more or less completely, and to
the Negrotes, Ingrotes and Tagals most
Of the present tribes are traced. OF
lateT origin are the fierce Mores of the
southern islands. These are the in
famous Malay pirates.

practically everywhere yesterday. No
Dragging is conveyed IN this fact. A
man might as well brag because he
breathes, or digests, or because his
heart beats, as for real newspaper
to boast of delivering its papers in a
storm, no matter how severe. Trains
and trolleys were stalled by the phe-
nomenal weather, but the Spy was on
board ready to go when they could go,
while in the city the dauntless carriers
found their way through the mammoth
drifts, and left their papers promptly
and faithfully, as usual.

The annual meeting of the Episcopal
Club was to have been held in the di-
rectors' room at the Board of Trade,
but, owing to the non-attendance of
many of the members and the lack of
the necessary quorum, the meeting was
adjourned until the time for the regu-

There has been some talk among the
members of changing the bylaws so
that, instead of the annual banquet,
which has been the only meeting, there
shall be held in addition two or more
informal gatherings Of a more social
nature. This, 1t thought, will serve to
arouse more interest in the club and
make it more of g. success. President

THE POET OLIVER WENDELL
HOLMES VITTICISM,

The great poet, Oliver Wendell Holmes,
once said IF all drugs were thrown into
the sea, it would be all the better for
mankind, and all the worse for the
fishes" OF course the genial poet referred
only to poisonous drugs as used by most
physicians. He certainly could not have
meant all medicines, for Nature in her
woods and fields, has been most prolific
in yielding up her treasures of harmless,
vegetable remedies for every disease. The
wonderful discoveries of the famous DR..
Greene, of "a Temple place, Boston, Mass.
amply prove the fact. Indeed, this skilled
specialist in the treatment of nervous,
chronic and lingering complaints, uses in
his enormous practice, absolutely no
poisonous drugs. but confines his treat
ment solely to the use of harmless vege-
table remedies. His worldwide known
medicine, DR. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy, Is only one of his many
remarkable discoveries. His extraordinary
success in curing diseases of whatever
atoms to health under the use of these
marvellous curative medicines as pre-
scrlbed by DR.. Greene, establish beyond
doubt that Nature has provided remedies
Tor each and every phase of disease and
that DR.. Greene, by his. deep investiga-
lions and his enormously large experience,
has discovered and prepared remedies
complicated cases of chronic disease. Any
sufferer can demonstrate this fact, as
DR.. Greene gives all the privilege of con-
sulting him, personally or by letter. abso-
lutely free of charge. If you are out of
health and have failed to be cured, see
and fully about your case. You can do so
IN perfect and absolute confidence. He
VIII explain your complaint and advise
you what to do to be cured.

following an opening play of whist from
s o'clock to 10 o'clock, the banquet was

they graced the occasion with their
presence, about seventy-five being in
attendance. Prizes were awarded, and
as usual, We're captured by the fair

After the menu had been discussed,
a pleasing program was rendered.

great eloquence, and John j. Harring-

violin solo by Joseph Reid won an
encore, as did a piano selection by
Master William Smith

gentlemen and their ladies formed a
grand march to the banquet hall, Mas

ExpOhrS OF IRoN GOODS.

Details Of exports of American man.
ufactures for 1898 show clearly the en-
ornous growth of the iron business.
While the whole volume of manufac-
tured exports has increased more than
100 per cent. in ten years, the export of
iron goods has increased nearly 400 per
cent. The figures are approximately
$3OS, OOO,O 900 for exports of all the manu-
features in 1898, and $4,000, 600 for cx-
ports of iron goods in the same year.
The export of $5,SOO,OOO worth of steel
rails, last year. is double that of even
the preceding year. Exports of steel
were increased from 1858, 900 to $780,
900 in the same period. The increase in
the export of builders hardware was
more than $5O0,0 O0 or a total Of $685.
900.
OF course the most striking contrasts
are found by going back to the figures
Of ten years ago. 1t is then seen, for
example, that exports of agricultural
implements have risen from 50, 76O 900 TO
$9,073,SS4; locomotives from $3.50, 700 to
$5,191,000. Exports of paper have been
doubled in two years, and amounted to
$3.50, 900 in value, last year. Much the
same may be said of bicycles, the gross
value of the export for 1898 being ST.
O92, 900. The export of cotton goods last
year, exceeded that of the preceding
year, but the gain is not so striking in
this line as in others, because of the
falling prices. as compared with the
record OF ten years ago. American col

Thus far in February the treasury
deficit has amounted to about SO, 25O, 900,
and the indications are that the short
age for the month will not exceed
I$6,000,000, That would be a marked
improvement over the January deficit
of $9,347,000 The heavy expenditures
of last month are not expected to be
repeated. On the contrary, the army
expenses are again falling off and the
decrease is likely to continue during the
remainder of the fiscal year. Hence
the treasury prediction that, barring
extraordinary expenditures not now
provided for, the receipts from exist
ing revenue laws will very nearly cover
the government expenses from now
till July l. The December deficit was only
$46O,OOO and after a months upward
tendency, return to small figures
seems to have been begun.
