when 1t reached the ears OF the duke
Of Modena, governor of Milan, that a MT
tie girl was copying from dawn to dusk
the masterpieces in his gallery, he and his
wife sent for her and SO pleased were they
with her winsome simplicity that the
duchess ordered her portrait Of the lite
14-year-old, and an obsequous court pre-
cipitately followed suit. Angelicas per-
sonality developed to great advantage IN
Inc MIlanese court. Tall, slender. inter-
estlng but not beautiful she soon proved
that she was mistress OF the art of keep
ing friends as well as of making them.
For two years she busily piled her
brush having more orders than she could
fiji. Then. In her sixteenth year, she lost
her mother This first great blow made
her feel an aversion to Milan and all Its
associations; so Angelica and her father
dlsconsolately turned their course toward

A TALE FROM SHANGHAI.
A FALSE REPORT OF THE DEATH
OF MAJOR WALLER. OF
NORFOLK.

The New York Journal OF Tuesday
contained the following copyrighted
dispatch from Shanghai:
I'm the papers of the Viceroy at Tien
Tsin was found IL receipt for 100 taels
paid to the Boxers for the head of
Major Waller. OF United States Ma
rlnes. who was killed at the first battle
of Tlen Tsin."
In order to relieve the apprehension
OF Major Walters many warm friends
here, the VirginianPi Pilot yesterday
telegraphed the Associated Press, az
washington. d. c., for information in
the matter.
The Associated Press replied as fol-
lows: Nothing known here of Wal
lers death"
The report of Major Walters death
Is no doubt untrue, as 1t purports TO
have taken place In the first battle at
Tien Tsin. Since this battle Major
Waller has been heard from three dis
tinct times.
The New York Journal was also tel
egraphed to. but reply was not re-
ceived last night.
The dispatch in the Journal goes on
TO speak of Colonel Meade. of the
u. S. Marines. as being in Shanghai
the statement of Major Walters death,
as Major Meade left Shanghai on the
hospital ship Solace several days ago
for san Francisco
1t is barely probable that n procla-
nation Offering a reward of 100 tacls
for Major Walters head was ISSUED.
and this may have been found, and
il is possible that some willy Chinaman
has palmcd off on the Niceroy OF Ticn
Tsin the head of some other American
soldier.

Captain Williamson, of the Lucken-
bach Company, spoke favorably for the
pier. He said that It would deepen the
channel. would not obstruct navigation.
would leave plenty of room for ships
to pass. but not room to anchor. Dredg
ing should be done for that.
Colonel j. Frank East asked the pri
vilege of speaking of the unfair ef-
forts of a newspaper to create senti-
ment against an enterprise that brings
so much money to every man. wo-
man and child in Norfolk. He imputed
none but the highest motives.
Then he stated his ideas OF how the
interviews were obtained, and said that
If the reporter finds any one favorable
to the pier not u word he says is
quoted.
He stated that his opinion given
last night, was not quoted. and that he
is influenced not by favors, but by pa
triotiSm.
The manager for the Virginian- Pilot
explained that the Interview of Colonel
East was taken after all matter for
that department had been prepared.
The reporters had taken the inter-
views fairly. for and against the rail-
ways application, as the columns of
the paper show in contradiction of
Colonel East's charge.
Colonel William Lamb said he wish
cd TO say 81 few words in defense of
General Groner. He read a letter to
private letter General Groner had gone
beyond the facts. He stated his efforts
to have the Norfolk and Western place

tage. The highest authorities, includ-
ing General Newton. said the piers
would not injure the channel.
With these facts he went TO General
Groner to ask what IT was an advan-
tage for the city to have.
The channel was never narrowed an

The result of INQUIRIES there indicates
