dispatch from New York last night
says: Not in the recollection of the Oldest
resident of red light districts has that
section of the city been so cleared of its
dens of vicious characters as 1t was to-
night. When the Tammany anti-vice COM
mittee made it's report on Friday that there
was no vice in the district the members la
bored under Misrepresentation. The houses
had shutters closed but the basement en-
frances were still open. The owners took
fright, however. on Saturday night and
fled. They had read that Captain Titus
was coming.
The fight between Captain Titus and the
dlve-keeping element has now become
waiting game The dive keepers believe
that the reform wave will soon be over,
and therefore intend to keep their shutters
closed until they get the tip to resume
the business. Committees of citizens in
the districts will be appointed to keep a
sharp watch for the return Of the dive
Keepers The women in the district will
also organize to that end.

Nearing the cottage on the knoll.
Jack drew long breath of utter and
perfect content.
On the steps leading down into the

girl waiting for shim, as he had so
often seen her in his dreams.
"Ah. Fauvette! Fauvette!" Jack
whispered.
"The church will be a bower Of
flowers. And we will have grand music
and the children will have tables set
out under the trees, and the whole vii

ter-the day was lost in the marshes.
Do you remember? She saved my life

Jack almost forgot his audience as
the recollection of that day and hour
came back.

world, her coming at that late hour
in that unfrequented bayou. l was

She came down in the bayou sing

Baron de Morillac and her aunt want

in Brittany, and you are to be sure to

She drew her hand from his, and,

It was at the close of winter Just
one year since Jacks rescue.
When Jack Hamilton sprang up the
steps his was an effusive greeting
from Antoine, who announced special
culinary preparations in his honor.

Foxes as Household Pets.

The kia lie, or the household fox, is
favorite pet of Chinese women,
who are also extremely fond of a va
riety of the Angora cat. The ordinary
cat Of southern China is. like the
Manx, tailless. 1t is occasionally used
for food. but it is not so popular as
horse and dog flesh. When raised for
the table it is fed on rice and vege-
tables. It is believed that misfor-
tune will surely follow the one who
has his cat stolen.

Diamonds Forming in Hawaii.

According to an English expert, dia-
monds are in process Of formation in
Hawaii. He spent much time and some
money following up the first indica
tions that attracted his attention. In
many respects, he says, the formation
here is like that of the diamond fields
of Kimberley. But after researches he
came to the conclusion that the pro-
cess has not yet gone far enough, but
is still going on, and that in the
course OF 100000 years or so Hawaii
will be a great diamond field.

every man in the garden hal a pa m
leaf fan and every fan seemed to be in
constant motion until the fighters
entered the hal then they stopped as
suddenly as if they had been running
by machinery. The applause tina
greeted the men was terrific.
When 80 many man pay seven dol
lars a seat to see a prize fight, then l
believe that one may come to tie con-
clnsion that there must be 4 certain
amount Of prosperity at present. The
fact that hundreds :of Brunswickians
have been here and at the different
watering places, would indicate that
there ars CLEANS Of good times in the
