Many of the leaders in the different
social sets are out of the city, and this
causes dullness in fashionable circles
Few persons are entertaining, but out
ings and church picnics have been
very numerous during the past six
days. There were many departures on
the excursions to the seashore and the
lakes during the week, and many
houses are closed for the summer while
their owners are resting and recuperat-
ing at the seashore or In the moun-
tair1s. The week of opera at the
Wheeling Park Casino promises to be
well patronized by the stay-at-hcmes.

CONGRESSIONAL NOTES.

All attempts TO unite the Republicans
Of the senate on a compromise Puerto
Rican bill have thus far failed. Sen
ator Foraker is still unwilling to go
any further than to accept an amend
ment allowing all food products to be
imported into Puerto Rico from the
United States free of duty. Senator
Aldrich is still hopeful that some COM
promise may be reached. The plan ad-
vocated by some senator's is to have the
pending bill amended by cutting the
tariff feature entirely loose from the
general government bill and attaching
it to the Puerto Rican relief appropria-
ton bill so amended as to permit all
imports from the United States into
Puerto Rico free of duty and to reduce
the duty on Puerto Rican goods i'm
ported into the United States below
the proposed15 per cent of the Dingley
rates. This, it is contended, would
still preserve the principle at the bot
tom of the pending bill and would en-
able test case to be made before the
supreme court to determine the ques-
ton as to the power of congress to i'm
pose duties on commerce between the
Uuited States and insular possessions.
The likelihood that congress will not
at this session agree on an army reor-
ganiZation measure, on account of the
conflicting interests involved and the
powerful opposition manifested in var
ious quarters to certain features of See
rotary Roots comprehensive reform
proposition, has alarmed the authori-
ties over the possible failure of the plan

commensurate with the ordinary care
and maintenance of the sea coast de-
Tense works already established, and
an effort is under way to separate the
artillery clauses, which are all wholly
unobjectionable, from the other por-
tiOns Of the house and senate bills
which are sure to lead to long ano
stubborn controversy. According tc
Gen. Miles estimates over $4,000 mer
are urgently needed to keep the present

CHAPTER III.

AS he told the story of the young
mans bravery and self-devotion, Ma
marah's eyes grew brilliant, and her
breath came thick and fast; and as
Jephthah dwelt upon the imminent
danger that had threatened both, a
look so terrified came into her face
that he said again, as he had said so
often:
"Thou lowest thy old father too
much"
1t often happened. after this, that
the young man Adina would come to
the house in company with Jephthah,
or by his ordering or permission, and
make his way to the great room where
were kept all manner of pieces of ar
NOR and weapons, and other trappings
of war. And at times it transpired that,
as he approached the house, Namarah
would be in the garden feeding her
doves. Sometimes he would pass on
with only a gracious reverence to her.
but again he would wax holder and
come near, laughing with her to see
the white birds scatter at his approach,
and then, as he would stand very still
by Namarah's side, settle back content
eddy at her feet and go on with their
breakfast. He delighted to see her
feed them from her mouth; and they
soon grew so accustomed to him that
they would fly to her without needing
him, sometimes perehing for q moment
on his shoulders and hopping thence to
hers.
"They are carrier BIRDS" she said
one morning, as he stood beside her
thus. She looked up in his face and
smiled, but quickly her eyes dropped

Hast thou tested them?" he asked.
~And will they. indeed, bear tidings to
thee from ATARI"

knowledge" she made answer; "but I
know It is their nature, and feel as
sured that If one Of my birds should be
taken far away It would return TO me-
Maiden, we'll believe It," ne re-
piled. And at these words, so gently
spoken, 10, there came into her cheeks
again that treacherous rose-color
which he alone, or the mention of him,
had power 10 summon there.

Dublin's Death Rate.

The death rate of Dublin, Ireland, al
ways abnormally high, has become
quite appalling. The city is plenti-
fully supplied with hospitals and doc
tors-more plentifully, perhaps, than
any other city of its size in the world
but the mortality, especially among
the poorer classes, seems to be daily
increasing at an alarming rate. The
main drainage and the house drainage
both of which are as bad as bad can
be, are generally regarded as the CHIEF
cause of the mischief, combined, oil
course, with the unsanitary conditions
under which the bulk of the citizens
are obliged to live. Houses that were
originally intended for one family will
be found occupied by FIVE, six, seven
and even dozen families. There are
10000 families, or 100000 Of the popu.
lation, living in filthy tenements, and
there are only 1884 families living In
self-contained houses in the city. The
public health authorities appear to be
utterly powerless to cope with the evil
and grave complaints are heard as To
remissness of duty on their part. But
pending the completion of the main
drainage scheme, no radical improve
ment need be expected.

Mastor of the Steam.

There is one thing for which an en-
gineer is noted. This Is the absolute
obedience of orders. He is brought up
on that from the time he starts to fir
ing till he becomes a graduate and
takes charge of an engine. Then he
becomes the instructor of others, and,
OF course, never loses the main point.
There is a story told illustrative OF
this. Two men were applicants for
positions on one of the railroads in
Boston not long ago. They both want
ed to be engineers, and there was but
one place vacant. The superintendent
before whom they appeared asked one
a question, which ran after this fash
ion: Suppose you were on a siding
with orders for a train to pass. A
message would go over the wire that
the oncoming train for which you were
waiting was two hours late. What
would you do?" The first one was
asked the question, and he pulled his
hat down over his face and said: 81
dunno. That is the conductors job,
not NINE" The superintendent said
he might leave his address, and IL they
needed him they would drop him a
line. The second man was standing at
a respectful distance, with his cap in
his hand. and was asked the same
question. 81 tell you, sir" he said,
"if the orders looked all right, and
thought the signature was good and

forever" II guess you had better re-
port to the roundhouse for duty" said
