General Francis Y. Greene is to be

New York county committee. senator
Thomas Plat and General Greene had a
long talk at the Fifth Avenue hotel on
Sunday morning before Senator Platt
left for Washington. Senator Platt and
Governor Roosevelt have been Emporium
ing General Greene for the last three or
four weeks to accept the presidency of
the committee in place of Mr.. Quigg.
At first General Greene dcmurred be-
cause of efforts, it is said, on the part of
Mr.. Quigg to subordinate his successor
into mere fgurehcad and put the real
power Of the committee in an executive
committee Of which Mr.. Quigg was to
he an influential member. General
Greene is not accustomed to business Of
this character and, it is said, would not
accept the place until he was assured
that he was TO be president Of the com
uttee in fact as well as in name.

have some little dainty that Matty
would cook and take to her with her
own hands.
Next morning Matty dressed herself
to go out to the grave. Then she took
a white card with little piece of rib
bon that she had prepared for the
sheaf and sickle. On the card was
written "Dulce ct decorum est pro pa
tria mort" The phrase has been worn
threadbare by studious schoolboys, but
to her it meant as much as it did to
Horace when it first thrilled to his
heart.
1.-THE veterans of the post will put
some flowers on his grave, and | can
slip this among Them" she said to her
self. Then she went TO see his mother.
An hour afterward she was kneeling
by his grave, where the soldiers and
children had scattered flowers and
then passed on to the sound of wailing
music. She had brought nothing in
her hand save the little card, but her
heart was very full She felt that he
knew and rejoiced, and her face shone
with the beauty of the true immor-
telles.
Hearing a step beside her, Matty
raised her head.
"Here are your flowers" said Mr..
Floyd gruffly. you did not come for
them, and so brought them"
"But l didn't order any," exclaimed
Matty in terror as she thought of what
they would cost.
81 know you didn't, but | have al
ways made a big profit on the sickle
and sheaf | made for you every year,
and flowers are cheap this year, and
and -won't you tie your card to the
piece?"
He had heard of the reconcile ton,
as one will hear of things in q small
place. and he knew why Matty had not
left her order If his lips trembled as
he watched her tying the card as well
as she could while blinded with happy
tears, his mask of beard hid the weak
ness. But his eyes betrayed him. They
were bright with moisture as he turned
away.
"Dulce ct decorum est pro patria
mort"
But to do some other things is also
sweet and seemly.

she dropped on her knees at the bed

she dropped on her knees at the bed
side. At last she whispered brokenly:
Cant you forgive me for having
loved him? Tomorrow is Memorial
day. and felt that | could not lay my
Offering on that altar while there was
anger or hardness in my heart" And
she quoted the verse Of Scripture that
was on her mind.
"Can ! forgiven murmured the older
woman. But there was no need an
swering that question. The trembling
tone Of her voice told how great a re-
lief such forgiveness was to her, and
her withered hand now stroked the
hair as gray as her own, while Miss
Beaumas bowed her head and sobbed.
Their anger passed from them like an
evil shadow. and they talked of linn.
There was something new and delight
ful in that. for they had never discuss
ed him before. While they were still
talking the woman came In with the
dinner The soup was thick and fat,
and the tea was cold. When Miss
Beaumas-the older woman called her
Matty now-saw the food, she was an-
CRY and stirred to pity.
The very idea of offering such food
to an invalid seemed cruel to Matty.
She almost ran back to her little home,
and her excited figure showed again
some traces of its youthful beauty.
She tripped-yes, tripped-up the steps,
and the revived flush in her cheeks
limited dimly why Jack Barclay had
loved her. once in her house she emp
tied the little bag and arranged its
contents in her purse. There was a Sc
bill, four 81 bills and 81 in change.
How many can realize what that little
bag of savings meant? There are 1000
pennies in SO. and that amounts to
saving three pennies day. Matty had
watched her little hoard grow every
day and knew just what she had de
MED herself for each separate coin.
Now that people had machines that did
fine sewing she found it harder every
year to get orders for her dainty nee
dlework, and the people who thought
they were really doing something char
liable in giving her work at all natu-
rally could not be expected to pay more
than they paid for machine work. OF
course there was something about
hand work that was better, but Matty
never complained at the prices. She
only turned her dress again and with
wonderful neatness mended the holes
that would come. She rearranged the
ribbons in her hat so that they would
look less faded, and every year she had
her sickle and sheaf for the grave. But
this year there would be no sickle and
sheaf. Instead Mrs. Barclay had a
warm wooden shawl around her old
shoulders. that felt the chill even in
the summer, and every day she would

Bombay. May 31.-An unprecedentedly
severe epidemic Of cholera has broken
out ia the northern districts Of Bombay
presidency. especially in the famine
camps The deaths have increased 40
per cent within three days. In the Kaira
district there have been 1880 deaths in
seven days. The government has made
a special grant Of t1,O0o to cremate the
dead Immediately. In Palanpur state on
the first day there was ! death. on the
second 81. and on the third there were
upward of 400. The swiftness Of the
infection was due to the fact that the
first death was near the only available
water supply. The germs were thus
carried an over the camp. In the city
of Bombay there have been c. deaths in
the last seven days.

boy MangIed by n Dog.

Lancaster, Pa, May 31.-While Peter
Kirsch, a 12-year-old boy, was watching
the decoration of the soldiers graves in
the cemetery connected with st. Joseph's
Catholic church he was attacked by a
large st. Bernard dog belonging to Fa-
Their Christ, the rector. The animal first
seized both his hands and threw him to
the ground, when it grabbed him by the
thigh and shook him like a rat a NUM-
Der of people ran to the boys assistance
and dubbed and beat the dog, which re-
fused to release its hold until exhausted
by its own exertions and the clubbing.
The boy was unconscious and horribly
manged about the groin, but the phySi-
clans have hopes for his recovery. While
they were carrying the boy out of the
cemetery the animal broke away from his
Keepers and again bit the unconscious lad
in the leg. The animal was shot.
