Inside the House.
Very WELL" said Senior DuBosc. "the
house is open to them"
The maid then returned to the callers
and placing the card In tray at the foot
of the stairs, ushered us to the upper floor.
After passing through the front rooms Mrs.
Eckert keeping the maid engaged. my eyes
began looking for something. When l had
, located it we went to the back Of the house.
Then Donaldson remembered that he had
not counted the windows in the front of the
house. and leaving the rest OF the party on
the back porch, he returned to Lieut.. Car
ranza's room. He was gone but a moment
but in that time a bulky document. all
sealed and stamped. which had been lying
on desk, was transferred to the pseudo
Englishman's inside pocket. Then the sig
nal agreed upon was given. and we were
escorted down the stairs. When the maid
looked for the card in the tray it. too. had
disappeared
hurried inspection of the lower floor
was made. and. thanking the SENIORS. we de.
parted. the sister and brother-in- law taking
carriage at the first corner, while I went
direct to the office OF the United States con-
sui general. The gentleman there refused
TO assist me or to have anything to do with
the package.
About o'clock that afternoon there was
some excitement in the city Of Montreal,
visiting saloons. etc. Meanwhile the sister
and brother-in-law were taking part in a
matinee performance. while Donaldson had
some letters to write. and remained in his
room until pm. Then. having decided.
how to handle what has since been known
as the "CarranZa letter." he proceeded to
put his plan Into execution.
Across the Border.
The train leaving Montreal that night at
I was run by Yankee crew Ito their coun-
try always true) and concealed on the per-
son of one Of them was a rather large
package. which he was to place in the
United States mail when his train arrived
at St. Adams Vermont. His service was
well performed.
The next day was Sunday and the sister
and brother-in-law being booked took an
early morning train for Toronto. The MOI
treal detectives took another high ball"
went to the station to see my friends off
and noticed several sleuths standing around
looking wise. Returning to the hotel, |
learned that Joseph Kellert, manager of
the Metropolitan detective agency, Mon
that morning, charged with stealing the
Carranza letter" I was interested enough
TO ask few questions regarding the de-
tails. and was informed that a rival
agency. in the employ of the Spaniards.
had furnished the information against him.
and that the maid at II Upper street had
positively identified" him as one of a
party that had visited the house. On the
next day. after the letter had been trans
lated and published and its Importance to
the United States established, 1 received
instructions to return to Washington at
once. r. d. REDFERN,

Drawbacks to Magazine Guns.
rom the New Orleans Times Democrat.

From the New Orleans T1meS-D Democrat.
81 am glad to see that the War Depart
ment has finally decided not to order our
Krag rife ammunition put up in clips. like
the Mauser cartridges" remarked an ex-
volunteer officer. 1.-THE idea was that the
clips would enable a soldier to load his
magazine a triffe quicker than by putting
in the cartridges one at a time, but, as
matter of fact, the gun shoots too fast as
it is In the heat of action it is almost i'm
possible to prevent troops from wasting
ammunition when they have magazine rifles
in their hands. The impulse to blaze away
at top speed Is next to irresistible, espe-
cially when fellow Is little scared, and
that Of course, means the worst kind of
craftsmanship. 1t is not the number of
cartridges that are fired, but the number
of bullets that find a. billet that tells the
tale and l am confident that the averages
are much better with a single shot gun than
with a repeater. Look at the Beers for
example 1t is admitted that their marks
manship has been phenomenally accurate,
and it is well known that the majority of
their sharpshootng force is armed with a
single-shot German rifle. l have talked
with a good many army officers, and they
all deprecate anything that will add to the
rapidity of fire of our service rifles Most
of them are doubtful about the real value
OF the magazine under any circumstances,
even with troops under the hottest fire."

A FABLE OF SOCIETY.
Being Rather Hard on the Woman
Who Had Aspirations.

A plain and sensible husband and father
who was making a modest livelihood In the
retail dry goods business, had a wife who
was ambitious to shine In society. She was
quite well aware that her husbands means
were not of sufficient magnitude to permit
an extraordinary dazzle in that glittering
galaxy of gaiety, glamour and gentility,
but she banked on the matrimonial alliance
of at least one of her two beautiful daugh-
tiers with an aged millionaire who was ready
at any moment to marry any pretty girl
who would accept him.
Naturally enough, 1t was not to be ex-
pected that any young and pretty girl could
love any old thing like he was; but then
he was so rich that love might well be
asked to take a back seat.
Now the husband Of this ambitious lady
and the father of the two beautiful daugh-
tiers was foolish enough to think that love
mixed with matrimony better than money
did, and he was averse to the Vaccinations
of his wife to dispose of either Of the
daughters to the millionaire at a price. One
day the lady, in no pleasant humor, spoke
to her husband on the subject Of his oppo-
sition.
II should think" she said, that you
would have some ambition for your daugh-
tiers. You have never been able to furnish
them with the means their beauty, accom-
plishments and position demand, and now
when I am doing my utmost to do a par
ent's part by at least one of them, you must
oppose my efforts and seek to thwart my
purpose. l should think you would show
some sign of appreciation Of the attention
and honor paid us by the wealthy gentle
man whom l SO highly respect"
Forgive me, my dear" responded the
husband. contritely. when the gentleman
comes this evening l will obey you and
show some sign of appreciation"
Upon this the wife was greatly Modified
and the husband went down town to his
in ha lot

"THE GOOD FELLOW GIRL.s
Mrs. Russell Sage Discusses One of
the Products of the Period

Mrs. Russell Sage Discusses One of
the Products of the Period
The good fellow girl" is a product Of
modern society. says Mrs. Sage. There
| could not possibly be any congeniaiIty or
even sympathetic interest between me and
| this fin de steele creature.
I was not good fellow when I was
| young. Yet 1 had good time. I was
bridesmaid nine times, which shows that 1
was neither frtendess nor neglected, and
1 entered into all the social pleasures Of tho
| other young people. We thoroughly en-
| joyed ourselves, but there wasn't a good
| fellow girl among u.s.
Since that time this new kind OF a girl
| has come upon the social horizon. She plays
| like a Jockey. She is proud of her slang
| vocabulary. She isn't easily shocked. She
| rides wheel in abbreviated skirts She
| smokes a cigarette IL she feels like It,
In truth. she has lost the sweetness, re-
f1nement and dignity that makes woman
hood beautiful.
Some men will like her free manners and
| speech. She will doubtless get married, be-
cause she will have no hesitation in helping
| the man along if he seems at all backward
| She is not hampered by any traditions OF
past. She boasts that she has cast aside
| the shackles that bound her sex. She be-
| ieves that she revels in a newly found and
delicious freedom. She does not know that
many Of the men who find her companion
Nor do think they would call her their
| ideal of what a wife and mother should
| be. Too often she loses their respect and
| wins nothing In return.
As one man once said to q girl of this
type:
She is a good eomrade. but wouldn't
want her for a WIFE,
To my way of thinking, the old-fashfoned
girl can never be improved upon She was
| gentle, home-lovtng and home-makne and
she was very sweet and Iovable. She could
not tool a coach. She did not know any
| slang. She wouldn't have ridden a wheel
| under any circumstances, and she would
have seorned to be thought zone OF the
boys" And she won measure Of respect.
| woman might well be proud. I am glad to
| say there are still many girls like her. May

DATE or HEARING SET.
United States Supreme Court to Con-
slider Kentucky Cases.
STATEMENT FlLED BY BoTH SIDES
On Last Nay of the Present Month
the Federal Tribunal viii
Hear the Arguments OF
Attorneys.

Washington, April 16.-The cases In
volving the Kentucxy governorship
were docketed in the United states SUI
preme court
A brief statement, in which counsel
for both Taylor and Beckham Joined,
was filed at the same time, asking for
an early hearing. In this agreed state
ment, it is set forth that both Taylor
and Beckham as governors, John Mar
shall as lieutenant governor on the
Republican side, and l.. III. Carter as
president pro tenn of the senate, and
John b. Castleman as adjutant general
on the Democratic side, are each and
all claiming the right to and are actu-
ally attempting to exercise the powers
of the respective offices severally
claimed by them, thus producing great
confusion in Kentucky, by reason OF
the doubts as to which of the positions
named has the lawful right to exercise
the authority pertaining to the several
officers named, all to the great injury
and detriment of the people of the
state.
The agreed statement then continues
as follows: THUS, under the consti-
tuition and laws of Kentucky, the gov
ernor of the state, in addition to being
charged generally with the duty of
seeing that the laws are faithfully eX-
ecuted, is also specially charged with
the duty and invested with the power
of filling many important offices in the
state by appointment, some by orig
inal appointment and others by APP
pointment to fill vacancies and also
with the power to issue commissions
to many officers, whether appointed by
him or elected by the people, and also
with the power to issue pardons and to
remit fines and forfeitures.
'Roth plaintiff in error, William S.
Taylor, and defendant in error, j. &.
w. BeCkbam, are claiming the right to
perform ali the functions of the afore
said office of governor, and each OF
them has actually attempted to per
form many of the said functions, such
for example as Issuing pardons and
filling offices by appointment, etc.
Some of the officers of the stale rec
ognize the acts of the plaintiff in error,
William S. Taylor, as the lawful acts
of the governor of the state, and refuse
to recognize similar acts of defendant
in error, j. c. VIZ Beckham; while
other officers of the state recognize the
full acts of the governor of the state,
and-refuse to recognize the acts OF
William s. Taylor as such governor.
"By reason of all these facts and
others which might be enumerated, 1t
is OF the utmost Importance to the
people of the state of Kentucky that
the question of the right to office in
volved in the aforesaid litigation be
determined. The question of law In"
volved in said causes are of very great
and grave Importance, involving the
nature and extent of the powers of an
election contest tribunal, and the pow
ers of the judiciary, with relation
thereto"
Mr.. Louis McQuown appears as at
torney for Beckham and others of the
Democrats, while Helm Bruce appears
as attorney for Taylor and other Re
publicans. |

Brute Force.
National Iyatchman.

National Watchman.
The Hannaite majority in Con
gress have openly defied public
opinion violated the Constitution
of their country which they swore
to defend, and have trampled the
moral law under foot in voting to
make Porto Rico vassul state. In
doing this they have not only con-
voted themselves of being crimi-
nails, but of being criminals of a
base type in assuming that the
American people could be bullied
or bribed irto endorsing their
work Here they will find they have
made most fatal mistake. When
ever a majority in republic like
ours, where tho ballot is in the
hands of all, will vote to uphold a
policy that all conoede to be unjust
and immoral, it will be time TO dis
miss all preachers, tear down all
school houses, hoist the black flag
and turn every dwelling into for
LITIGATION because it will be YER
dict that brute force is supreme
and the moral law a myth. ~

Republican newspapers in the
west are demanding relief from the
burden of war taxes, says the Sun,
and they not only object to the adj
ministration's policy in regard to
Porto Rico, but they insist that it
is unjust to Americans to pile up
in the treasury at Washington a
huge surplus to be wasted in ex-
travagant and unwarranted subsi-
dies. The Chicago Tribune warns
the administration that failure to
relieve the country of the burdens
of unnecessary taxation will cause
widespread dissatisfaction. The
treasury surplus amounts to $175,-
100000, exclusive of $15O,OOO,OOO,
which will be set aside as a redemp-
ton fund. This surplus represents
in part the receipts from the sale
of bonds in 1898 and partly the OK
CESS of revenues over expenditures
under the present taxing laws.
"There would be no such excess"
says tho Tribune, "but for the war
taxes of 1899. Those taxes are pro-
duoing surplus which is the fe-
Tcund parent of hundred schemes
of plumber"
