latiOn, and ever after met his calm cour- tesy with an equally reserved defer ence. The abnormal situation. which at first was maintained only by an ef- fort on the part of the young girl, lost with time much of it's strangeness, and ultimately crystallized under the po- tent force of h;usit, so that it was ac- cepted by the two as the natural out come of their relationship.
 In the first pang of her bereavement and disappointment Agnes had turned for consolation to her books;' and, be- ing left free to dispose of her life as she saw fit, she had planned a course of study, which had in due time re- cei7ed it's consecration at one of the leading colleges for women.
 Upon her return from college she had, as far as she was permitted, taken charge of her fathers household, and had presided with charming dignity and grace over the social functions for which Dr. Murdock's house now be- came famous. Up to the time of his daughters advent the chemists rela- tions with the world had been chiefly through the clubs and scientific bodies to which he belonged. He was we'll re- ceived in the homes of the members of New York society; but in the absence of a woman to do the hOnOrs of his own home he was unable to return the hos pitality which he enjoyed. Now, how ever, everything was changed. Agnes was glad to find an outlet for her en- ergies in the task of receiving her fa- ther's guests, and, being girl of re- markable intelligence and tact, she suc- ceedd in creating a salon, in the best sense of the word. Many of the shin ing lights of the world of art, Htera- the regular devotees at the shrine of this superb young goddess.
 Among the younger men more than one gay moth, dazzled by the light of the girls beautiful eyes, had been tempted to hover near the flame, only to scorch his wings. Miss Murdocll had already refused several of the "best matches" of the city during her. two seasons, much to the relief of those young men who had not yet sum- moned up courage enough to try theii. fate, and much to the disgust of a few amiable young women and several de- signing 1nammas. The latter could not help but deprecate the wicked selfish ness of young girl who hypothecated and thus rendered temporarily un- available much potential matrimonial stock, which, in the nature of things, would ultimately be thrown back on the market upon the selection by the fair one of that single bond to whose exclusive possession she was limited by the laws of church and state.
 The fact of the matter was, that Agnes Murdock's s ideal of life was high. She was determined, if she ever em- parked upon a matrimonial venture, to do so only with reasonably good prospect of finding in the welded state a satisfactory outlet for the depths of affection which had remained so long in her tender maiden heart. No one among the young men who had sought her hand had seemed worthy of the great love she was ready to bestow. She was, therefore, still awaiting her fate.

LULU CHASER.

Miss Glaser, when she appeared here on former occasions as the lead ing lady for Francis Wilson, never failed to make hit and it was conSe- quently expected that her first appear Rnce here as the star of comic opera aggregation would be a success. And so it was. Miss Chaser possesses a manner of reaching the hearts of her audience all her own. Interest in the opera was second oE'y to that in the star Sweet Anne Page is the work in colla aboration of De Lange. and Ed gar Smith, who produced the book and set to music by w. II. NeidlinSer. The dialogue is bright and in places par ticularly witty. the music sweet and fascinating. Some of the brightest pieces of music, however. failed last night to produce the desired effect Not the fault of the music. however nor do we feel quite satisfied in blaming the artists as they all worked hard. But in one or two instances the voices of Fred Frear and Alexander Clark were not in harmony with the spirit of the piece. Their efforts in other respects were admirable and re- ceived much applause. The play being new and few more performances will no doubt give their work a more cogent hold on the audience Harold
 
 immense satisfaction by his clear tenor voice, his duet in the second act with Greta Risley being one of the hits of the evening. Of Miss Chaser herself nothing but words of praise in the highest degree are adequate She is the same vivacious, fascinating young lady who has entranced Wa terbury audiences on former occasions Her sweet )melodious voice, and her gentle thoughtful demeanor rendered her the perfect embodiment of Sweet Anne Page, So spontaneous was the cordial reception given her she could not refrain from impuisively bestow- ing her thanks for the greeting. Rarely is ans-artist treated so warmly and more rarely still is it so deserved. "Sweet Anne Page" will carry Miss Chaser to loftier heights than she has yet attained for whilst it is overflow ing with good things there is not line or suggestion that could offend the most sensitive. The scenery. too, was grand, the costumes historically and artistically correct and the move ,ment of the piece, with few lapses of memory, smooth and inviting.

 Miss Murdock's glance rested care lessly upon these words for an in- stant. They aroused in her nothing more than the mild curiosity which attaches to events of palpitating hu- man interest, when they have been congealed in the columns of the daily newspapers and served to palates al- ready sated with sensational yer bosity.

Those who have read "Ta1es OF Jury
Room" by Gerald Griffin will appreci-
ate the following paragraph from our
esteemed contemporary, the dublin
Irish People: Mr. Justice Murphy was
angry at Waterford one day last week.
Later on he was shocked. During the.
hearing OF case there burst upon the
ears of those in court some sounds OF
uproarious merriment. The judge or
dered policeman to caution the revel-
ers. 1t was done But in the course OF
few minutes the disorder became more
pronounced. His lordship grew quite,
angry and, turning to the police Off
GERS, said: Didn't tell you before to-
do your duty! Go and bring me' in
some of the ringleaders of that crowd
and l will teach them how to conduct
themselves" And the notes of "For
He's a Jolly Good Fellow mingled
with wild cries of Hip, hip, hurrah!'
again hoated into the court. The judge,
was ready to send some unruly demo-
Gratis to Jail without delay. But they
were not forthcoming; and at last one
ci the crown counsel whispered that the
offenders were the aristocratic county
grand jurors, who were enjoying them
selves wisely and we'll over the high
sheriff's luncheon.

THE BOXERS ARE PATRIOTS.

The Boxers OF China are not the san
culinary monsters pictured by lying Brit
isll correspondents who have been send
ing sensational dispatches about the
massacre OF foreign ministers in Pekin
for the purpose of creating war senti-
ment in this country to help JOHN Bull
in his decrepitude. The latest accounts
20 to show that the foreign ambassa-
doris. with the exception OF one. are
quite safe in the Chinese capital, and
that they are kept as hostages to thwart
the invasion OF the allied powers. a
special dispatch from Tien Tsin says
that all Americans in Pekin are safe
but their property has been destroyed
That being so. it is imprudent for the
Mckinley administration to order the
troops under Chaffee to Join the allies
in their attack on Pekin China will pay
an indemnity to the United States for
the damage done, and that ought to sat
isiy the jingoes at Washington unless
they desire war to aid them in the
coming presidential election.
What two returned missionaries from
China say of the Boxers is at variance
with the accounts given of them by the
British correspondents. In Chicago las,
Sunday, Rev. Thomas Marshall, field
secretary OF the Presbyterian board OF
foreign missions, who has had wide eN-
perience as Chinese missionary
charged England, Germany and France
with the responsibility for the uprising
against foreigners in China. Anothe,
Chinese missionary, also Presbyterian
endorsed all he said, and declared the
Chinese people were not as black rs
they are painted He went even further
and defended the Boxers from the accu'
sations made against them. In this con-
nection he said:
4 "rhe Boxers are simply the patriots
OF China. They are the same kind o.
patriots that grand old Andrew Jackson
was-that the American hosts who fol-
lowed Jackson to repel foreign invasion

said, by criminal aggression" They
believe that the constitution should fol.

ANOTHER BURCHARD HAS ARISEN.

Every one will remember the bigoted
Burchard OF Rum, Romanism and Re-
hellion" fame who contributed to the
defeat OF James G. Blaine for the prcsi-
dency in 1884 by his alliterative rigma-
role. Mckinley is likely to have anoth-
er Burclnard in 1900 in the person OF an
enthusiastic convert from Popuism
bearing the euplonious name OF Cen
cral Paul Van Der Wort, of Omaha:
Neb. While in Chicago last Saturday
he visited Republican headquarters. and
after his departure Mark Hanna's press
committee gave out an interview with
him in which he said: 81.

This bIatherskite has not been repri-

any representative of Mckinley. What
he said seems to have been Endorsed by
the Republican campaign managers,
else they would not give it out for pub

! the national campaign may make leaf
let of the interview and distribute it
throughout the country. His vitupera-
ton is certainly aimed at the Irish and
Germans in particular, for they are sure
to vote for Bryan more than any other
foreign-born citizens.
In the same interview Van Der Wort
expressed sympathy for the Beers Of
South Africa, but said that Democratic
sympathy with them was insincere. He
claimed to be descendant of the oldest
