tionable luck.
And 1t came to pass as Miss Hadley
had predicted. They struck the same
boat. She came aboard hurriedly, just
as the gang-plank was being drawn
in, and she looked about for Proctor,
calmly, possessively, as though he must,
of course, be there. But he was not
to be seen. So she stood and talked
to group of post people, as the boat
swung out into the bay, and the foggy
wind blew stiffiy about them. She was
not sensitive, yet she was dimly aware
that they were civil beyond their wont;
even there seemed a vague sympathy in
their manner. But she was busy and
distracted, watching for Proctor. He
might be below deck, or in the cabin.
AT length he appeared, from the
other side,of the deck, walking with
another girl. The girl glanced at her
with a half-smile. She was so pretty
that Miss Hadley's lips set, and she
forgot what she had been saying.
Proctor and the girl strolled to the
stern and stood there. Then Proctor
caught Miss Hadley's amazed eye, and
he raised his hat. But she beckoned.
1t was assurance, to say the very least,
but he went to her, leaving the other
girl. The group would have been glad
to melt away, but some way it couldn't.
Then Miss Hadley's admirable and
perfect cool cheek reached its zenith.
"Who is your pretty friend? ?" she asked.
Brummell could not have been more
superb.
There was pause. Some one might
have helped Proctor out, but no one did.
A smoker came from the group and
turned into cough. Then the man in
Proctor came to his aid. the realization
that it was all everybody else's fault,
anyway-Miss Hadley's, in particular.
He loked at her in stern reproach. "She
is my wife, Miss Hadley."
The very winds and screw were
hushed. In the silence Proctor's eyes
began to shift. But Miss Hadley's own
were on his face, and they never wa
vered. Somewhere in their limpid
depths there was a twinkle. About the
corners of her mouth there was an I'M
mistakably amused twitch. She raised
bunch of violets to hide it. They
were the ones that had come the day
before. He moved uneasily and met the
eyes peering above the flowers again.
This time they held him.

slowly, with a distinctness that must
have penetrated even to the stern-'I

DEMAGOGUE BRYAN.
Trying to Make the People Believe
1t Ii Not fer Hin to
Pay Taxes.

Not only does Col. Bryan object to
paying the war tax Of one cent ON
every telegram he sends, but he is try
ing to make the people believe it is
unjust to the poor man to make him
pay the same tax on the tobacco he
smokes and the liquor he drinks that
is paid by the rich man.
"The poor man pays a larger percent
age of his income in war tax on the
tobacco he smokes and the liquor he
drinks than the rich man does" de-
clarss the free coiner, or words to
that effect. or course, II tho poor man
is paying larger percentage of his in
come than the rich man is in war taxes
on tobacco and liquor, something
should be done about it at once. Per-
haps it did not occur TO Col. Bryan
to suggest that the poor man should
smoke less tobacco and drink less
liquor. That, however, would be an
interference with personal liberty. He
might, nevertheless, propose that the
rich man be compelled by law to double
or triple his consumption OF tobacco
and liquor, and in that way the tax
matter could be evened up.
But the colonel will suggest no rem
edy. He knows the poor man does not
feel the war tax he pays on tobacco and
liquor; that not single consumer
would know he was paying such tax
unless told of 1t. The sole purpose OF
the colonel is to array the poor against
the rich. He is making again the same
appeal TO passion and prejudice that
he made during the entire campaign OF
1896. 1t is simply the wall of the
demngogue and nothing else.--Cleve-
land Leader

Judge TwiGGs Will Make Final Ar

HoNoRND BY THE ARCHBISHOP.
Bishop Kelley Guest Mt the PreI-
ate's Reception in New York.

Bishop Kelley of Savannah was a guest
of the reception committee which for
mally welcomed Archbishop Corrigan on
his return to New York from Europe a
few days ago. The reception was a nota-
Bile one. Archbishop Corrigan is one of
the most distinguished prelates of the
Roman Catholic Church in this country
and he was welcomed from his tour
abroad by several hundred of the clergy
of New York.
The Archbishop returned on the St.
Louis. The reception committee, on tug,
met the liner just inside of Sandy Hook.
At quarantine the Archbishop was trans
ferred to the tug and formally welcomed
by Bishop Farley of New York
The Archbishop was greeted by
all of The assembled clergymen,
who, kneeling, kissed his episcopal ring,
receiving his blessing in return. The Arch
bishop took a seat on a bench
and was talking to Bishop Farley
when Father Kean of St. James church
brought forward the Rt. Rev. DR. Kelley,
Bishop of Savannah, and presented him
to the Archbishop, who invited the
Southern prelate to a seat on his left
and during a considerable portion of the
time consumed in making the run to the
city oonversed with him.
While abroad the Archbishop had six
audiences with the Pope. He made re-
port regarding the progress made in his
diocese during the past decade, and
showed the Pope an album containing
photographs and descriptions of all the
Catholic churches, monasteries. semina-
ries, parochial schools, religious institu-
tions, hospitals. and homes that come I'M

REFUSED A NEW TRIAL.
Oystermen Must Make Their Fight
Before the Supreme Court.

Judge Falligant rendered a decision in
the Superior Court yesterday in the case
of the state against Lewis Fraser the
particular question decided being the de-
PENDANTS right TO a new trial, for which
a motion had been made by his counsel.
Fraser is one of the two-dozen negroes
indicted for gathering oysters from leased
beds, which is a misdemeanor under the
laws of the state. The men were proved
guilty of having distracted oysters from
beds leased by Capt. Gus Oemler and sit
uated on Wilmington island and in the
adjacent waters. The motion for a new
trial was based on the usual statutory
grounds, that the verdict was contrary to
the evidence and that the charge of the
court was erroneous.
Judge Falligant's decision overrules
the motion and denies the new trial which
is asked. The case is probably intended to
test the question, and in all likelihood
will be carried to the Supreme Court.
Messrs. w. w. Gordon, Jr and Gignil
Hat & Stubs, representing the interests
of Capt. Oemler, are prosecuting the cases
on behalf of the state, while the defend
ants are represented by Messrs. w. p.

HOTTEST AUGUST DAY KNOWN.
MERCURY TOPPED THE 1902 DE-

The record of high temperatures for

Never before since the establishment
OF the weather bureau has such a temper

four times has it reached even so high

FIRST was on AUG. 20. 1879, and the others
on Aug. s. 6 and OF last year.
In the record for the entire thirty years
yesterdays temperature has been exceed
ed but twice: July II and u. 1879, when
the maximum temperature was 1913 and
105 respectively. Only five times in the
same length of time has it been equalled,
each time in July, the years being rs, 70,

was reached. which was the highest point
ever recorded for a May and the record
for the year of '9S.
Observer Boyer. in charge of the

ly high temperature 10 the fact that for
over week there has been an area of
high pressure over Southeast Georgia, not
of very great strength, but sufficient to
keep the sky cloudless, thus allowing the
