Would you have an idea OF her per-

In spite OF denials to the contrary

several more than suspicious incidents
In the far East. Previous to the pres

were glazing at each other with fe-
rocity that portended a mighty con

Japan that feels her position on the

are beginning to show.
During recent years Japan has in

Her Despair and Unwomanly DSgrada-
tion "A Hazy story. i3
I do not think Swift ever cared for
Vanessa and much incline to believe
that he was never married to Stella,
says a writer in recent issue Of the
Contemporary Review. Cadenus had
his weak points; he did not disdain to
be adored and Yanessa, poor thing, was
vain and fighty. The wildness which
she betrayed in her letters can scarcely
be matched, except in that amazing
French medieval Latin correspond
ence OF the Abbess Heloisa, not to be
rendered by any translation have
ever seen. But, to use the Gallo phrase,
she was at the expense OF it herself.
One Is reminded of the line, apollo

It not that Apollo fingered triffe too
long to write verses which he had bet
ter have left unwritten The chase
went on for how many years? And how
did 1t end? In despair on the part OF
Vanessa, in heartbreak and unWomanly
degradation. Yes, it is sad story; but
one must not charge Swift with hay

married long ago to another woman;
then, indeed, 1t will be hard, though not
absolutely impossible to defend him.
None can tell what passed between
the dean and Vanessa during their last
interview. Scott has given, but upon
the merest hearsay, an account of it
which, suppose, we could all repeat
If called upon, by heart. Yes; but would
either OF these proud persons have torn
down the screen that hid their misery,
in such case? Not Swift, we may be
sure. And if Vanessa was thunder
struck with the news of marriage fa-
tai to her, why did she not publish that
as we'll as the poem she held in her
possession? The scene is fine piece
of tragedy and will always be told. But,

could enter his fathers house by means
OF the pass-key, which he had piously

he would throw down the borrowed

frozen.
Well, ta-ta," concluded Beatson, and
he shook hands again and went.
This was cruel first experience. It
was idle to blink facts; here was John
home again, and Beatson Old Beatson
--did not care a rush. He recalled Old
Beatson in the past-that merry and af-
fectionate lad and their joint adven-
lures and mishaps, the window they
had broken with a eatapult in india
Place, the escalade of the castle rock,
and many another inestimable bond Of
friendship; and his hurt surprise grew
deeper. Well, after all. it was only on
mans own family that he could count;
blood was thicker than water, he re-
membered: and the net result OF this
encounter was to bring him to the door
step Of his fathers house, with tenderer
and softer feelings. 4
The night had come; the fanlight over
the door shone bright; the two win
dows Of the dining-room where the
cloth was being laid, and the three win
dows Of the drawing-room where Maria
would be waiting dinner, glowed soft
lier through yellow blinds. Itwag like d
vision Of the past. All this time Of his
absence. life had gone forward with an
equal foot, and the fires and the gas
had been lighted, and the meals spread,
at the accustomed hours. At the accus-
toned hour, too, the bell had sounded
thrice to call the family to worship.
And at the thought pang of regret
for his demerit seized him; he remem-
bered the things that were good and
that he had neglected, and the things
that were evil and that he had loved;
and 1t was with a prayer upon his lips
that he mounted the steps and thrust
the key into the key hole.
He stepped into the lighted hall, shut
the door softly behind him, and stood
there fixed in wonder. No surprise Of
strangeness could equal the surprise of
that complete ami,iarity. There was
the bust OF Chalmers near the stair
ratings, there was the clothes brush in
the accustomed place: and there, on the
hat-stand, hung hats and coats that
must surely be the same as he remem-
bered. Ten years dropped from his life,
as pin may slip between the fingers;
and the ocean and the mountains, and
the mines, and crowded marts and
mingled races Of San francisco, and
his own fortune and his own disgrace,
became, for that one moment, the fig.
ures of a dream that was over. s@ az

POWERS PUBLIC STATEMENT.

Caleb Powers, who was found
guilty of abetting the murder Of
Goebel, has issued the following
statement to the public concerning
his convictions:
'That one of the greatest judicial
farces in history has been enacted
here in my trial, under the forms Of
law, no well informed man can
doubt Innocence is no shield, with
100000 and the methods Of Camp
bellism against you. The rectitude
of ones past life counts for naught.
They say Taylor is guilty because he
was at his office and that | am guilty
because | was away from mine. This
has been a political trial throughout,
for political purposes, and no greater
mistake has been made by the Demo-
cratic party since they robbed us of
the offices to which we were fairly
elected by the people. From the be-
ginning of the campaign until now I
have stood with what little merit I
have had, for the rights and liberties
of the people That is my crime.
That is the only offense l have COM
mitted, That is the only thing they
have proven against me. | swore to
that myself in testimony. | have
never had, and | now have, no apol-
ogy to make for being true to the
trust imposed upon me by majority
OF the voters Of this state. History
will draw its dark lines around those
who have outraged me and disgraced
the judiciary and blackened the his
tory Of the state"

There is danger Of President Nc
Kinley being assassinated by anar-
chaists, who have come over from
Europe for that express purpose.
Has it never occurred to the Wash

fear as that, and that is to shut the
gates against all corners for the next
decade? This country has all Of the

INGALLS, AND HUNTINGTON.

This country lost two of its most
remarkable men last week in the per-
sons of Hon. John J. Ingalls,, of
Kansas, and Coils P. Huntington,
Of California. The former was one
Of the renowned statesmen of the
world, as well as a most noteworthy
Journalist, orator and lawyer. "The
senator from Kansas" was for MANY
years a Republican leader in the
United States senate, and was never
uncertain or straddled on any pub
Tic question. So long as the Repub-
hcans were in power just so long did
Mr.. ingalls, have an immortal cinch
on the position Of United States SEN
ator from Kansas, but when the Re
publican downfall came he was
among the first to 60. The next day
after his defeat for reelection he
himself said: ut was the most try
ing experience that [ had ever be-
fore undergone, but [ took to the
woods. and before | returned to nv
house [ had conquered myself, and
with the same composure that had
characterized my reelection from
time to time I returned to Washing
ton and really felt glad when it was
time for me to pack my things and
leave Washington City" After his
retiring from the senate he was no
less conspicuous in the public's eye
than before, for as a journalist and a
correspondent he kept the reading
world always full of excitement and
furnished it sufficient food for
thought. No one can deny but that
he was a great man in many. if not
every, respect
