MYSTIC MESSAGE OF SORROW.
Chicago Man Nysteriousiy Learns Of
 His Brothers Death in Manila.

Chicago Man Mysteriousiy Learns Of
 His Brothers Death in Manila.
 A mystic message brought sad intel. ligenee to Frank Fay Pratt of Chicago one day last week. It told him of the death of his twin brother. Fred Roe Pratt, which occurred in Manila. Frank was sitting down to dinner in his home in Chicago when suddenly the impression entered his mind that his brother had died. He could not tell whence the knowledge came, all he knew was that his brother was dead. He told his parents of his belief of his knowledge, of the sad event, and then he hurried into the streets, where he walked up and down for hours, bur dened with his grief, Three days later came a cablegram from Manila, telling that Fred Roe Pratt, who had been voyaging around the world, was dead and that his body was on steamer bound for Japan. Fred left Chicago in December, 1898, in the company of friend 10 make tour of the world. It was their intention to visit nearly all the oriental countries, winding up in Australia. They had already visited China, Japan, Singapore and other places. Fred was born in Chicago and had practiced law with his brother un- til he started on this trip. The simi- larity between the twin brothers WAS so marked and striking that the first thought on seeing them together was to doubt ones eyesight. Not only i'll features and stature were they coun- terparts, but in actions, expression and general bearing also.
 Guarding the Trans Siberian Railroad.
 The Trans-Siberian railroad is very closely guarded, the management feel ing personally responsible for the peo- pie they carry on their trains. The road is divided into sections of one verst, or fiye-eighths of mile. In neat little log house, usually in a gar den, live the guard and his people. The average family is a wife and five tow-headed children. The houses were built by the company and evidently with a view to meeting the demands of increasing families. The guard or member of his family must patrol hls section night and day. He steps to the side of the track as the train ap- breaches and after it has passed steps back into the middle of the track. holds small green flag in the air. at night lantern, and stands like a statue until the train has entered the next section. Several guards do duty in the heavy curves and frequently they are only few hundred feet apart Much of the track patroling is done by women, who have proved fully as re- liable as the men, The women are nearly always barefooted, and as they stand CD the track holding the flag aloft. Siberian breeze toying with their short skirts, they are fine sub- jeets for sculptor after unique model.

RALLY At ALDRIDGE.
Best Political Meeting Of the Whole
b Campaign.

2 Aldridge, October 81, 1900
The most enthusiastic political meet
fing ever held in Aldridge was the one
given on Monday, October 20. by the
/ republicans. It was easily noticed that
1.-THE men, women and children had been
ahard at work for some time to make
|. the event a grand one. Wagons were
waiting at the train to bring the well
come visitors over the mountain to
| Aldridge, and upon their arrival they
were surprised to meet a body of about
1856 good republicans waiting at their
headquarters near the mine. Soon they
We're in form and, headed by the Aid
ridge silver cornet band (Which, by the
way, played in a very creditable man
ner), they filed about the principal streets
in very beautiful manner TIL, school
boys, too, seemed to be proud of the priv
ilege of marching ahead with a horse.
which carried the banne "Hurrah for
Mckinley" After marching to the
lower part of the camp, they completely
filled a beautiful decorated hall, and at
3 o'clock the speaking began. The first
was a speech by a gentleman from Chi
cagO. 1t was first class, and he was
often ~applauded. He was followed by
Mr.. G.. w. Potter, who did himself credit
and proved each assertion made by his
tory. His speech was also well received.
After the band had finished playing an
other of its charming selections, a good
number of voices called out, STARK!
Stark" Mr.. Stark rose to his feet and,
in a few we'll chosen sentences, he de-
clared his intentions and very firmly
pledged himself that. if e.ected repre-
sentative to the legislature of Montana,
he would do all in his power for the
people of this county, and he would
vote first, last and all the time for two
republican United States senators from
Montana. Then Mr.. Thompson, candi-
date for state senator, was called UP
and made a similar statement, and both
assured their hearers that Mr.. Phelps,
the other republican candidate for the
legislature, would sanction and agree
to every statement made by item. This
pleased the voters, and after a few clos
ing words by Committeeman William D.
Thomas. the band played and the meet
ing adjourned. Almost every candidate
on the republican ticket was present, and
as many as could be seated were on the
stage. All were pleased with the fine
reception.

isfaction people supposed. He discov-
cred, all too late, hat this time his
daughter really was in love, md what
was worse, Mr.. Estey was ais deadly
smitten with his daughter. This would
have been bad enough had Mr.. Estey
really been a lord from merry England.
But to have his daughter fall in love
with an imposter and fby his own con-
~nivance. indeed, by his own machina-
tions-that was really going too far!
Too late he saw that he had jumped out
of the French frying pan into the Eng
lish fire. AS the days drew on he limited
at first, and h intimated most broadly
that Mr.. Estey was outstaying his well
witch By-the-Sea when Mr.. Beach init
mated that he expected other visitors.
He was too much of a gentleman to fail
to notice the meaning of such a remark
as that. But this only made matters
worse, for now the young mans atten-
tons were made but more openly and
the young lady's reciprocal feelings but
more manifest. Mr.. Beach could not I'M
mask the intruder except by acknowledge
ing hat he himself had purpOsely foisted
a bogus lord upon the high society Of
! Harnwich. In this dilemma he had but
one last trump to play. He could tell his
| daughter that Mr.. Estey was plain Mr..
Estey, not Lord Bodleigh as she suppos
ed. But he was not at all certain that
his one last trump would take the trick.
Matters were at a crisis when Mr.. Es-
tey appeared one night before Mr.. Beach
in a state of some embarrassment and
asked for the hand of his daughter in
marriage, at the same time confessing
his love for her in terms that spoke only
too truly of his sincerity.

in reply, "that Viola be undeceived.'
IT don't UNDERSTAND, saiu Mr.. Estey,
using that exasparatingly well-bred for
mula.
II mean that you should. in all honesty
tell her that you are not Lord Bodleigh."
answered Mr.. Beach. Il am sure that
will end the affair"
but 1 cannot do that" answered NJ.
Estey, without telling an untruth TO
Viola-I beg pardon, l mean Miss Beach.
AS a matter of fact, 1 am Lord BodleiSh,
and have been guilty of no deception
to her at ALL"
"What?' shouted Mr.. Beach.
st is all as I nave said," answered
the young man. Il can readily prove
who I am by referring you to the diplo-
matte service in Washington, and to any
of the representative Eng1ishmen in New
York, l have been travelling ~incognitio
under a family name that is rightfully
mine"
'Humph!" muttered Mr.. Beach.
And then he realized hat he was a
fool who had been foiled in his folly.
An. the worst of it was that he had
been foiled by a foil.
'WeH, take her. he answered hnaliy.
II suppose you might be worse than you
are. But If you were a duke or an earl
