STATUS OF WHITE.

of the Trausyuul.

New York, January 1S.-A Herald spe-
cial from Washington says: 1t is stated in
an authoritative quarter that if Montague
White is equipped with proper credentials
from the Transvaal government, he will
be received as its representative by the
administration. Wt -o2r
General o'Bierne's rejection was ostensi-
bly, due to his American citizenship, but
there is no doubt that the authorities
would have preferred that the matter Of
the Transvaal representation be left UNI
determined However, when Mr., White
calls at the state department Secretary
Hay will see him and his status will then
be determined.
There is every reason to believe that II
his mission is to secure an expression OF
sympathy from the president in behalf of
his government or the intervention OF that
official. it will fail. as it Is reiterated that
the administration will not interfere I'M
less Great Britain should signify her will
ingness to have this government act.

knowing whether the French paper lie

tell how much truth there is in the story
that my sisters husband lost heavily in

less to say that We shall be more than
delighted to see our sister again. Their
coming to New York at this time is some
thing of a surprise to us, but none the less
delightful for all that. The count is his

he sees fit to speculate, l suppose it is his

AL.ICIA'S EXPERIMENT.


Alicia Wellington was &c years old,
and she had never received an offer of
marriage nor had a lover. Her two
younger sisters were both happily
notwithstanding to a young man
who had adored her from childhood,
and Lottie to an elderly widower who
had fallen in love with her at her
coming-out party. Gertrude had re-
fused three offers before marrying
John Nelson; Lottie, who was born
a coquette, had received homage from
almost every man she knew from the
time she could talk.
Alicia was serious and rather
naughty. Her friends called her "in-
tellectual," and this same intellect
uality made her unpopular with men,
who were generally her interiors in
her chosen style of conversation If not
in depth of thought. Until now Alicia
had affected to despise the other sex.
Lottie's firtations and Gertrude's con-
quests had seemed frivolous to her.
But she wished to be a well-rounded
woman, and it suddenly occurred to
4ASA t-iete SLlO hilN" lOllllLSo VI iO'V, a4-
though it was one of the chief things
of life. The fact that she was differ
ent from other girls and their in
ferior in one respect was brought
home to her by a meditation on love
and matrimony which followed the
receipt Of letter announcing the en-
gagement of the only unmarried one
Of her classmates. To be sure, Alicia
was younger than the other girls, but
she had come out the same year.
'It is all very well not to marry"
she said to herself in conclusion, "but
1t is odd not to attract a single suitor.
There must be something lacking in
me. have always known that didn't
like men, but it is strange that men
don't like me. l can accomplish al
most anything if l make up my mind
to it. l will have a lover l need not
marry him, of course, but l will have
him desperately in love with me, so
that I shall have an impassioned offer;
then will refuse him.
Alicia cast about her list of male ac-
quaintances with a view to selecting
