The Navy Department annOanccd this
morning that the Newark left Nagasaki
Friday. and on Saturday arrived 81 Taku.
China COlncidenJ with this comes the
announcement that the Newark has been
assigned as the flagship Of Senior Squad
ron Commander Kempn- Secretary Long
stated this morning that these events had
nc significance so far as he knew and that
he had received no communications from
the President or the State Department IN
the matter.
At the State Department IS was said
by high official that the movement and
the presence Of Rear Admiral Kempn at
! Taku had no special meaning save that
the Boxers in the Tien Tsin province were
daily becoming more alarming. and il was
natural that the commander Of the Asiatic
squadron should wish TO be on hand IN
order 70 give protection 10 Americans. and
TO assist the American legation when
needed
That there is more in the movement than
appears on the surface is apparent For
some time there have been English, Ger
man. French. and other wa-ships az Taku
The United States has been represented b.

he said, with his heart beating uncom- fortably through his speech.
 She did not answer him, but Instead passed her telegram to him with trem- bling hand. His own hands were shsk- ing now as he held it close to the western light and resd:-
 Dear Bessie: have bad news. Bear up, my child. have just learned of It and hasten to telegraph. Charley Bar ton has absconded with the firms money. He escaped last night. Be calm, my child. UNCLE THOMAS.
 "Geod God :" cried John, ssean it be? My old acquaintance, Charlie Barton! Why-wby-" and great wave of feel ing passed over him; disgust, anger, sympathy, love, sllfound expression in one word-"Bessie." But she did not repulse him, for as her eyes met his noth- ing but love shone through them. l "Ohi can it be that you, too, have been
 deceived? Bessie Bessie! what is this
 freak of fate, and what strange circun
 stances in few hours have changed our livesi"
 He took her hand in his and told her
 all, and as he continued strange light
 of understanding began to creep over her
 face. He read to her his telegram, he
 drew the mornings paper from his pocket
 and, holding it close to his eyes, read the
 shameful story of Charley Barton, and
 when he had finished they sat in silence.
 From the house above came the noise of
 arriving guests and lights began to shine
 out one by one on Bessie's wedding eve.
 Softly he took her other hand in his, and [ pressed them close within his own. ) "Do you love him still, Bessie? have l never loved Ethel; it was fancy-she ii proud and cold"
 And as her mothers voice called dowI
 through the wood Bessie Bessie '" twt - loving arms stole around Johns neck ,r and sweet voice murmured: "It il !, destiny." And Bessie's weman's hear D felt that love. coming unbidden like tn ,n swift lightning, is the sure and poten H spirit of God.
 St What need to say more? The little ro to nance is told, and truth is stranger ths Id hctl0n. But, eo those who do not care 1 ;r guess, I will say, in finish, that the weG n ding guests were not disappointed; sH oI never shall forget the unique spectacl ,D as John standing before the surprise
 assemblage and holding Bessie by tt ,o hand told their story. Even the justic 's was affected and forgot to say "Amen as and, as the couple took the mornin Il, train for Chicago, old Dobbins slsppe ,h Perkir on the hack with the exclams . tion "BY gosh it was all caused by tt bustin' of thet blamed eggcentric '"
The Newtown bee., 1900-05-11

"Clang! Clang!" sounded the alarm gong, as the statlon-master pulled on the rope. "All aboard !" yelled the con- ductor, "all aboardI" Then came the flight of tardy passengers to catch the starting train; some with half-eaten sandwiches in their hands; some with hastily purchased copies of the Morning News, and others parting with lingering kisses and farewells, handshakings and waving of handkeEchiefs. The train was off. The driving wheels of the great locomotive, with a convulsive movement, flew around Tn a sudden bewildering whirl, and then settled down with steady "pufI! pufT!' But scarcely had the first coach passed the landing than young man bounded across the platform and swung lightly and gracefully on the steps of the rear car.
 By Jove!" he calculated, ''just in time. Another minute and-well, I'll not think of ltl Good for old Jean how numerically he whipped those raw boned crowbaits, though! l wonder if he'll find that dellar chucked him?' He looked back and saw the old cabby down on all fours, hunting after his fee. Then as the train sped on, the crowd of loun- gers, old Jean, the depot and all, slowly dissolved into the dim distance. The great city of St Louis was left behind, and soon nothing but the dark tunnels of It's thousand manufactories could be seen lying along the horizon.
 "Well, goodby to factories and dirt for a while, !" he laughed, as he opened the door and passed through the train to the smoking car. "I'n certainly not come this way on my wedding trip. I'm glad planned our trip through the South."
 Finding A seat to himself, he lit @ cigar and settled back for a meditative smoke. How fast the train sped over the miles, but John Halliday would have had them fly faster, If one could judge by the thoughts galloplng through hls mind. This was red-letter day for him. He was to be married at precisely 4 o'clock that day, and It was now S.20 a. m. Eight hours and forty minutes to wait, to

ride and chafe at the slowness of mile a minute.
 "I wonder what Ethel would say if she knew what close shave had catching the train?' He shuddered as he thought how his feet.might have slipped even at the last moment and the train sped away without him. "Those St Louis fellows never will let man get away, especially when have some good fat orders for them. We'll, let's see what's in the Morn' ing News"
 Halliday was head man at old Ding ly's in Chicago, and very unfortunately had to run down to place some pressing orders in St Louis. He had gone up and told Ethel all about 1t. She was very much put out, but John swore that he would be back in time for the wedding, and told her to go ahead and have all in readiness. She dreaded to think of the terrible humiliation if he failed to appear just when Rev MT Smith and everybody were waiting. It appeared too tneatrical and stagy to suit Ethel very much.
 1T could not bear 1t, JohnP' she had said. "I don't know what 1 would do il you fooled me. It's too much like Mepn istopheles in Faust, t,'-Your arriving al of 8 sudden-and, then, the chances o1 your not arriving at all. Ohl it's too horrible"
 What would you do if I did not ap pear, just like Mephistopheles, on time? he asked.
 1T would certainly break our engage ment. It would be cruel In yeu."
 "Oh bosh you wouldn't do anything of the kind,'' he laughed.
 "You will see," she replied, as sht switched out of the parlor in an angry mood, and John thought she mentioned something about men always haYire some business to do.
 But now as the train sped on bringing him nearer to her, he thought of hel words, and half believed she was capable of Keeping them. "She's ,spunky girl and by love, I don't believe l coulC blame her; for it would be deuced humil iating. Just think of old Smith, the min ister, squinting around through his eye glasses like an owl, and all her sister and cousins and aunts, and Ethel herself rigged out in that sumptuous trousseau all waiting for bridegroom tha 'cometh not Whew w-And Hallids. relapsed into an inward prayer of thank fulness, and fastened his eyes on the col umns of the Morning News again.

Lovejov wa old Dingly's hated rival, and John ha old Dingly's business we'll in hand. dare say Lovejoy would have welcome a slice of his rivals business with ope arms. But this Is not for me to say, e1 Icepting that from 8 sentimental stand point never thought much of 1t.

NOTES FOR BEEKEEPERS.

Never pull up the cover that the bees
have so closely sealed down unless COM
PEELED to do so.
In all hives there should be three
personages-the queen, the worker bee
and the drOne.
One secret of getting wax of bright
yellow color is to allow it to cool slow
ly, but always be careful not to burn it.
The only rule in using the smoker is
to use it sufficiently to keep the bees
under control from the start, taking
care not to kill them.
Worker bees, being undeveloped fe-
males, may now and then be sufficiently
developed to lay eggs, but their eggs
Will produce only drOnes.
The worker bee does all the work of
the hive, gathers in the honey. pollen
and water, secretes the wax. builds the
comb, ripens and caps the honey.
When returning frames TO the hive.
adjust them slowly and carefully. Do
not slide the frame to its place at one
push; slide it up slowly just to touch
the next frame.-Maine Farmer.

STORAGE ROOM NEEDED.
A, rn,nortant Item which UnfOr-
tunatcIy IL Overlooked by Quite
n Number of DeekeePcrs.

II is lust as unreasonable to expect
bees 20 store YOU a crop of urIlus
honey. without ample storage-room
properly equipped, as anything can be-
ond TO complain al the bees for not
doing it is proof sufficient Of lack Of
intelligence. Yet it is done.
You will occasionally meet an old
"mossback" that will tell You that
bees do not do any good in this coun-
try any more. and that they cannot
make a living here, or they cannot
make a living there. when the facts
are that his REMARKS are applicable
To himself instead of the bees.
Some who should know better may
also tell YOU that this country is be-
coming overstocked with bees. when
we all know that there are tens OF
thousands Of pounds of honey going
10 waste for every one pound gath
cred. for want of bees sufficient TO
save il.
This country is improving faster in
nectar-producing blossoms by fan
than the rate of increase of bees.
While it may be true that some local..
ties are overstocked with bees. yet,
take it as a whole, it would be absurd
10 think of.
The amount of storage capacity
properly applied for surplus honey
has all TO do with the size of the cros
and If we do not apply it we fail. W,
may have poor honey flow which
we cannot help, but we can get ready
for it if it comes, and it seldom fails
to pay expenses, to say the least
The best standard hives are al
equipped with the necessary storage
room for surplus, and if we bring
these into use we seldom make a mis-.
take in this particular.
There is a right time and wrong
time to add surplus boxes. but as
rule they should be applied at the be-
ginning of the principal honey flow
OF the season. Colonies must be
strong to at once accept them, and
weak colonies should not have them
put on until they become strong. Su.
pers should also be added to a colony
when it is crowded for space in the
brood chamber, and thus prevent il
from swarming. if pOssible.-A II
