has studied too hard. The doctor prescribed
fresh air. and almost every sunshiny day
for the last three weeks her mother has
taken Irene to Coney Island. The child did
not care for the roller coasters or merry
go-rounds. but grew very fond Of the sea
and the sand.
The other afternoon Irene. with 10 cents
I'm her possession, was alone In her home.
Her father was out of town and her mother
was making some afternoon calls.
I'll just have time to go to Coney Island
and get back in time for dinner" she said
to herself. She took a Third avenue car
and paid the conductor half of 10 cents for
car fare. Being only a little girl she had
never heard of monopolies or trolley road
extortions. and was quite unprepared when
at Twenty-second street the conductor de-
manded another fare. She explained that
she had only 5 cents for her return fare.
but the conductor said that was not his
fault. and she gave him the remaining
nickel.
Frightened and alone. she passed through
the crowd on the Midway and made her
way slowly toward the beach.
She sat on the sand, and. watching the
waves, forgot that she was penniless. But
as the sun sank behind the Ferris wheel
ard the crowds surgcd into the eating
houses. she began to frow hungry. Her
mother had told her never to talk to
strangers. Tired and hungry. she left the
crowd and the noise and wandered far up

his tail between his legs, came the dog.

beginning to make yellow streaks on the
waves. Irene was too tired and faint to
walk any further. Near an old pier she sat
down on the sand and took the dos In her
arms. Then she cried.
But the dog barked. and. escaping from
her. Jumped and rolled In the sand in high
glee. 1t was the first evening in a long
time that no one had thrown a brickbat at
him. and he was uspremely happy.
After the child fell asleep the dog kept
watch. and was still by the side of tho
child when a mounted policeman came rid
ing up the beach at 2 O'Clock in the morn

away.
Swapping and snarling. the dog ran at the
horses legs.
Get out,' said the policeman. reaching
down from his saddle to strike him with his
club. But for once in his life the dog did
not run away. He only whined piteously
and ran nervously back and forth toward
the spot where Irene lay asleep.
Finally the policeman dismounted, and
picking the little girl up in his arms rode
with her to the staten. The matron cared
for her during the rest of the night.

Savings Bank and Pawn shop.
There is only one savings bank in Manila,
and this is combined with Il sort of j Gov
eminent pawnbroker's shop. The institu-
tons are run by the church, and the Arch
bishop Is practically the head. The capital
stock amounts to about $4,000. The savings
department gives an interest rate of 4 per
cent, and the pawn department charges :
| per cent on loans with gold. silver and
clothes as collateral The savings bank Is
open every Sunday morning for the with
drawal of deposits, SO there is no excuse
for the good Christian who has money in
the bank not TO pay his church dues.
l should think Il good savings bank on the
American plan would pay well. There will
very likely be a large force of American
soldiers here for years. and at present there
is no place for them to deposit small saw
ings. The big banks do not encourage
small accounts, and they do not like a draft
or check of less than $50.
There will be chances for building and
loan associations later on, and, indeed, Tor
all sorts of money-lending institutions. The
interest rates out in the country are high.
running from l per cent a month to % and
90 per cent and even more a year. Much
money is loaned upon crops, and in many
cases the lender stipulates that the interest
be paid not in money, but in a part of the
harvest In such cases as much as 80 per
cent Is often charged. This business, how
ever. is chiefly done by the Filipincs.
Concessions for Manila.
The Government will have to do some
thing as to a number of so-called conces-
sionS which are in the hands of parties
here as to street railroads. telephones, cleo
trio lights and other things. Some of these
concessions were granted or extended at
the last moment, when the Spaniards knew
they were to leave and wished to make as
much as they could and to involve the
Americans in as much trouble as possible.
They issued concessions for mines and 9TH
er things and did what they could to de-
stroy archives and involve the titles to
property.
The various concessions have not yet been

The climate here is such that few people

The general opinion is that the war is very nearly at an end. but should the Boers construct strongholds in the bush or elsewhere and begin system of raids. the British would require further large supplies of horses. General Butler has moved fourteen miles nOrthweStward along the Lydenburg road and crossed the Crocodile river to Badenfontein. where he found the Boers concentrating in the Crocodile mountains.
 A force of Boers under Commandant Theron broke through the British lines and captured and burned supply train at Kip River station, taking thirty-tive prisoners. Brabant's Horse proceeded thither, recaptured all the prisoners and drove the Boers into tthe hills.

WILL SUPPORT MCKINLEY
Geo. W. Mcdonald Gold Democrat
 Leader Announces Himself

Indianapolis, Sept. 2.-GeOrge w. Me Donald, secretary of the gold stand ard democratic state central com mittee and nephew of Joseph l.. Me Donald, who represented Indiana in the United States senate, today declared his intention to support President Me Kinley. He said this course was now the duty of all gold democrats. Con- tinuing, he said:
 There is nothing in this cry about imperialism to deter the gold democrats from supporting President Mckinley. the war of the revolution, after the war of 1912, against Lincoln in the latter part of the civil war and later the cry of Caesarism was raised against Grant Every time it has been without a sem blance of foundation, and this time it will scare no thinking man. I favor a government so strong that there will be no riots, such as have taken place in our leading cities lately; a govern ment so strong that American rights will be protected wherever the flag floats"
 Mir Mcdonald also expressed the be- lief that a majority of the gold demo- crats will support Mckinley. The state organization, he says, has no reason for being kept up, as there are but two parties in the field. The gold men will not support Bryan under any circum- stances.

It Is Still Hazy and the Sun Refuses

This is to be an eventful week in Maricopa county in matters political.
 The county conventions of both the democratic and republican parties are to be held and there are many candi- dates who now see through a glass, darkly, that will be yanked out into the sunlight of party preferment while there are many others who will know a lot of things they are now only guessing at. There will be disappoint- ments, broken pledges and all that sort of thing, and those on the anxious seat will, as usual, find that their friends turn up where they were least expected while their enemies and betayers have been on their right hand at the banquet boards.
 The republicans will enjoy their pri- mary love-feast today and it will in all probability be a sort of a social re- union. But the first big show will be held on Friday when the democratic aggregation made up of star perform

SHANGHAI SURPRISED.

Copyrighted by Associated Press.)
 Shanghai, Sept. 2.-Reports that Rus sia has decided tO withdraw from Pekin are causing great astOnishmert. Every step in connection with Russia's occupat ton had apparently been taken With a view to permanency. The theory was that in the railroad, Russia held the key to the situation and when the Taku harbOr was closed the other powers would be dependent upon Rus sia to provision their troops in Pekin. Officers of the other armies constantly predicted that the Russians intendd to keep the railway and hold the line of forts and arsenals to Pekin, thus se- curing the strongest foothold of amy nation. The assumption now is that financial reasons influence Russia to the present decision. She has her hands full to maintain her troops and part of her army sometimes lacks proper rations.
