thronged with women and children seek

taken to the hospitals, but no one minded
them. Down before Santiago 10000 men
III dlngy brown canvas blue trimmed uni
forms in the blistering heat of a tropical
climate were lighting against Overwhelm-
ing odds. On the day before had come
the news of a disastrous defeat, and the
night had closed down in gloom. To-day
the defeat had been turned into a victory
and the cable had flashed home the details
Of great naval victory besides. The
great city sweltered and sweated and
waited for confirmation and for the list Of
dead.
That afternoon business called me to
the Office. For an hour l worked and
then fell to thinking of the great tragedy
being enacted Suddenly l became aware
that someone was standing by my desk.
"Ev'nen Journal, sir? List Nv dead and
wounded"
1t was Mike, but 1 hardly recognized
the voice. All the impudence, the old
time braggadocio was gone, and he had
come in SO quietly. "Why, Mike"
began. Then / noticed the trace of tears
furrowed through the dirt on the two
grimy cheeks. There was an unwonted
seriousness in the deep black eyes and
an unmistakable culver in the voice as he
repeated, "Ev'nen Journal, sir? Extra,
jes' out. 'Plete list NV dead an wound

| snatched the paper eagerly and tossed
Mike nickel. "Never mind the change"
l said, and plunged into the details of the
fight. When l glanced up NJ ike was still
there.
IF yer please, sir" he began, standing
on one leg and uneasily rubbing it with
the dirty brown foot of the other. 'If
yer please sir, could l count yer regular
fer a poiper every night? Oi-Oi got ter

NV it. He-he's dere, SIR" he finished
with dry sob, pointing to the open page
before me. CHANGING down the column
in heavy black, bold-faced type, l saw the
name of Private Dennis. A. Murphy on
the roll of honor with the brief, explana-
tory line, Shot through the head"
Mike drew a step nearer. Say" he
said, with just a touch of his old-time
eagerness, "hes a hero now, amt hep
Mike has several regular customers in
the Office now, but he no longer blows in
like a miniature hurricane. He comes
and goes quickly but quietly. He is full
of business, and although his former i'm
pudence now and then flashes out it is in
guarded way that will lose him no Gus
toners. He is always ready for scrap
when anyone intrudes upon his rights,
but he has given up fighting for the fun
of the thing, and he no longer pitches
pennies and CANDLES away his hard-earn-
ed money. Yer see, Dim de head NV de

he explains.
The other day he came into the Office
with the old-time rush. They've got me

he cried. Then after a moments thought
he inquired wistfully. "Say, do yer s'pose

Paris.-Now that all the national pavil-
ions in the Rue des Nations have been
opened to the public a comparison of the
artistic effect of our building with that Of
its neighbors is undoubtedly unfavorable
to the former. While the general exterior
appearance is a matter of architectural
taste, the nudity of its interior ELECTS the
harshest criticism. Seldom is a word OF
praise of it heard from visiting Ameri-
cans and the building has been already
christened various uncompllmentary nick
names. Many officials recognize the dis
parity and the present condition OF the pa
vilion will be much improved.
A number of unfortunate cases of suffer
ing are coming under the notice OF the
American officials in Paris. Many bright,
energetic young Americans, having just
means enough to transport them here and
being anxious to see the exposition, came
with the idea of finding some small occu-
patton which would provide them with the
means of existence during their stay.
Some also hoped they might strike occupa-
tons which might develop remuneratively.
There is no false pride about them and
they are willing to accept even mental en-
ployment such as selling papers, black
ing boots and hawking exposition tickets.
They have, however, met with unexpected
obstacles, against which all their pluck
and vim are unavailing. Instead OF the
freedom of labor which obtains in America
and which insures success to the willing,
intelligent worker, they find every outlet
hedged about with red tape regulations or
prejudice against the employment OF for
eigners. Newspaper stands are accorded
only to pensioners and license for boot
backing is practically understandable, ow-
ing to the interminable period occupied
by the preliminaries to the application.
Some boys attempted to obtain pit
lance by selling exhibition tickets at a
profit of two cents each, but their efforts
were stifled by the interference of their
French competitors, who are able to draw
off all intending purchasers except Amer
leans and Englishmen by proclaiming the
Americans as foreigners.
These unfortunate experiences should
warn vcnturesome American youth
against setting forth in hopes of finding
employment here. Neither the embassy
nor the consulate has funds to be used
in giving assistance in such cases and the
youths will be obliged to get home as best
they can.
While this antipathy holds against those
who are trying to compete in the French
labor market, pleasure-seeking American
visitors have no reason to complain OF
their welcome. The feeling which now is
so bitter against Englishmen, with whom
Americans are so often confounded, ow-
nag to their language, does not exist to-
ward the latter when their nationality is
established. The fact is now becoming
recognized among the Americans, many
of whom have adopted the habit of wear
ing a miniature enamelled stars and
stripes as a distinctive emblem. The
French newspapers have remarked this
and have called the attention of their read
ers to its significance.

New York, June 12.-George Foster
Peabody, chairman of the national
committee of the gold Democrats, yes
terday made the following statement
with reference TO the meeting of the
committee in Indianapolis July %;
"The question of a third ticket must
stand in allegiance until after the two
conventions have been held and the
platforms of the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties definitely announced. For
this reason the meeting of the national
committee was set for July 25. Whether
third candidate will be run depends
upon whether the constituencies repre-
sented by the various delegates regard
It as expedient or not. If the COM
mittee decides to call a convention the
party platform will be the same as
that represented by Palmer and Buck
nor four years ago, except that the i'm
perialistic issue will play an important
part"
