The Rev. DR.. ]. II. Cissel. of Craw-
louisville, Ind, has received an inter-
esting letter from his son. First Ser
geant e. w. Cissell, of Company G,
Forty-fourth infantry. Sergeant Cis-
sell served through the Cuban cam
paign, and then enlisting with the
forty-fourth went to the Philippines.
He is now at Baclayon. Bohol, and
writes that Bohol is radically different
from the other islands he has visited.
The natives were frightened half to
death when the United States soldiers
came, as they had for ages suffered
terrible indignities from the Spanish
people, but in less than a month they
were thoroughly treasured. So in
tensely do they hate the Spaniards,
however, that the better educated peo-
pie, who understand the Spanish Ian
guage. refuse to make use of 1t. The
population of Bohol is devotedly Ro-
man Catholic, but Sergeant Cissell
writes that the religion there is much
more given to form. and Is much more

day, however. the men wear suits of
spotless white. and the women attire
themselves in most fetching costumes.

To Remove Paint spots.

The best way, and, in fact, the only
good way to remove fresh paint from
a wooden garment slightly damaged
by inadvertent contact is instantane-
ously to rub the spots with another
portion of the same garment. Don't
let the paint dry. Snatch up a fresh
fold of the goods and rub vigorously.
The friction Immediately dissipates the
damage. and no trace is left ON either
part of the goods. Except for the loss
of a little surface fuzz, the garment is
as unblemished as before.

The Cars Exhuberance.

Queer stories about the car are cir
culating in Germany. Dinner was kept
waiting recently In the Winter Pal
ace at st. Petersburg owing to the un-
expected disappearance of the imperial
pair. They had taken an afternoon
sleighride accompanied only by lady
in waiting. and an indlscreet witness
declared that he had seen the sleigh
standing near the edge of lonely
wood outside the city, with the two
ladies in II laughing like children,
while the car Of all the Russias
hoped about on one leg in the snow,
Topping his arms and croaking like q
crow.

II heredity counts for anything, the
son just born to Neville Lytton, heir
presumptive to the earldom Of Lytton,
ought to develop into one Of the great

Bulwer Lytton and grandson of
"Owen Meredith" and on his mothers
side he is a great-great-grandson OF
Lord Byron.

CHAPTER VII.

The evening sunlight is slanting
across the lawn, making a glory of
the dancing daffodils; and the birds
are holding a concert that commenced
with the dawn this morning. Such a
tender, loving spring evening.
The sun shines in at the windows OF
the Grange, and one shaft rests low
ingly on the fair head of George Bou-
verie.
Mrs. Bouverie looks at the sunshine
and at the face of her handsome son.
and smiles as she gazes. Her own eyes
are very sweet and patient.
She is very happy this evening. Be-
tween her and George stands tea
table, and George is laughing and
pouring out the tea, desperately par
ticular as to sugar and cream. waiting
on his mother with gentle courtesy.
Her pale cheeks have taken a pink
tinge, soft as the blush on a girlish
face. She wears lilac ribbons In her
filmy lace cap, and lace ruffies fall over
her slender hands.
In upon this homelike scene stalks
trouble dark and horrible.
The maid. with pale face. opens the
door and stands trembling, looking
from her mistress to the face Of the
young man who Is SO calmly helping
himself to a second cup Of tea.

terrier sitting at his feet.
"Oh, Mr.. George, don't know"
stammers the girl. at Is something
dreadful. sir. There is sergeant and
constable In the hall!"
George lays down his cup, but no
idea OF the truth rises In his mind.
"The bank robbed? That is odd!
But am not magistrate. What do
they want me for?" he says. "I'll
just step out and ask the sergeant
what II means"

CHAPTER Y.-(Continued. )

CHATTER N.-(COntlnued.)
Something must have happened
People are running. There Is little
crowd round the bank, and police
man is pushing his way through
What can It be? Sebastian Joins the
crowd, and the people fall back and
make way. Mr.. Saville is magis'
trate. and every one stands aside to lei
him pass.
In the bank itself small, eager
crowd are peering over the counter al
a strange scene within. The bank
manager is STOPPING over a PROSTATE
lfigure-the body of the cashier, linn
and insensible.
That there has been an outrage IL
plain to the commonest understanding
The floor is strewn with papers, and Q
stool is overturned. There must have
been desperate struggle before the
young man was overpowered. The
place Is regular wreck. At first the
general opinion is that the cashier Is
Edead-murdered, most probably. There

an ashen face.

HAS any one gone for doctor?"
Mr.. Saville puts the question as he
stands looking down on the livid, in
sensible face Of the bank clerk.
"Give him air; open his collar" he
says. and glances around on the scene
OF confusion-the money lying on the
floor, the books, the
Sebastian stoops suddenly and picks
up cheque of the floor. George Bou-
we're is scrawled across the back Of it.
Without word he hands the cheQue

Mr.. Kelly turns white as his eyes

away at the limp hands of Mr.. Grey
Then the doctor hurries in and makes
an examination.
'The man is not dead; he has been
chloroformed."
1..is is the verdict, and the news
goes out to the little knot Of people
outside. Not only has the cashier been
chloroformed. but the bank has been
robbed. So far has been ascertained
by a hastily examination.

news goes like wildhre.

MR.. DICKINSON GIVES NOTICE

From the New York Evening SUM-
Is not Mr.. Dickinson trying to shuttle
out OF the position he took in 1896? The
Port Huron platform, over which he
rubs his hands with satisfaction, afiirms
fthose principles of governmental re-
form enunciated so clearly in the last
national platform Of the party" lnclud,,
ing government by injunction and
defamation OF the Supreme Court. In
fact, it was revolutionary platform, and
any general Endorsement of it should re-
volt MIR. Dickinson as much in 1900 as
the original platform did in ls96. Ills
objection was that it made the Demo.
cratic party an obstructor Of progress ana
placed its fortunes in the hands OF !rre'
sponsible agitators and reckless radicals
They are in the same hands now. lei
Mr.. Dickinson is willing to follow in TIT
train Of these irrespnnsibles il the ma

FOR PARTY UNITY.

All good Republicans will make any

calamity as will follow Democratic sue.
cess. Prejudice SHOULD be trampled
under foot injuries forgiven, aud the
principles Of the party upheld. 1t IS the
height of folly to allow the unsavory acts
Of the past to bring future defeat. The
dead past should be allowed to bury its
dead, and deter mination to elect the
candidates Of the party be the ambition
of every Republican. The two wings
must unite, or the election will be a
farce. Those who talk SO much about
honor are laboring in the interest OF the
Democrats ami defeat will result If their
counsels are followed. There is no hope
for success without such compromise as
will unite on the same ticket and he who
does not see this must be wilfully blinc
or stolidly ignorant. We are for party
unity, first, last and all the time, with
out regard to the actions Of others, ant
will not stab it under the fifth rib claim
ing that it is not because we love tn
party less, but we love honor more.

From the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.
Democratic managers will not help

fighting the bill for putting the consular
service on business footing. Chambers
of Commerce and numerous other
organizations of business men through
out the country have urged consular re-
form on Congress for years, and the re-

exports has reinforced their arguments
in a notable degree. There no partisan
