FEDERAL. STEEL DIVIDED.

Early in the year the Federal Steel Company
management confidently expected that regular divi
dends the common stock would be paid in 1900.
1t was then believed that bill would be passed
by the New-Jersey State Legislature by which the
feature of the companys Incorporation which now
prevents the payment of dividends the common
stock In any year until the company has earned
for such year would be eliminated The Legis-
lature failed, however, to pass the measure and
the directors therefore decided lot to declare
dividend. II dividend had been declared bear
traders would doubtless have appealed to the
courts they did last year. for restraining order
careless observers would have been as ready to
attack the management for declaring dividend
as they are ready to crticise the manage
ment not declaring The company will
pay per cent the common at the end of the
year and stockholders will get their income in a
lump sum, rather than in quarterly instalments

Wrought by aTOrnado-FourM IA Miners
Drowned at RosedaIe.

Waco. Tex, April 2S.-An electric
storm, accompanied by rain in tor
rents, occurred here Friday, flooding
half of the city and doing great dam
age 70 property. The bodies of two
known and one unknown dead have
been recovered and five other per
sons are known to have perished.
The dead are Mrs. Nancy Caudle and
Miss Emma Caudle, her daughter, and
an unknown negro. The business
streets were converted into rivers.
Such a flood was never before seen
here. The rain resembled a success
sion of cloudbursts. Waco creek, on
the south side of the city, and Bar
ron's branch on the north side, pour
ed their surplus water toward the
center of the city and formed "a sea
in the business district.
Boats were used in the principal
streets to take people to places OF
safety. In the basement of the Prov
ident bank building. the largest AMI
finest building in the city, water
stands four feet deep.
\ report from Rockdale states that
the mines at that place were flooded
by the high water, drowning four
men.
At the corner of North Second ard
Barron streets an arched brick
bridge, which had withstood floods
for 30 years, gave way and three ne
groes disappeared with the bridge
Their bodies have not been recovered.
The storm commenced at p. M. and
the water fell in vast sheets, one
cloudburst following the other, the
watercourses rising above the divides
and uniting into a raging sea. The
people in the portion of Tie city suf
fering most fled from their houses.
The fremen and police ana hundreds
of citizens rushed to the rescue, but
the water was too swift for them and
at least six persons lost their lives by
drowning.
The Bosque river and its tributaries
are overfiowing a large district and
running valuable crops. The Brazos
river is ten feet above the danger
mark and is still rising. The proper
ty loss in Waco will be $4,000.

night after night, the lightest, dain-
tiest creature in the hop room, and
never have word or a look for him
who leaned in gloomy admiration
against the wall and never took his
eyes off her. He became Jealous,
moody, ugly-tempered and finally had
the good luck to get his congo as the
result of an attempt to assert himself
and limit her dances. She was blithe
and radiant and fancy free when F1pnk
Garrison reached the post, wee bit
hipped, it was whispered, because of
the failure of a somewhat half hearted
suit of his in the far east, and the Fairy
bounded into the darkness of his life
and fairly dazzled him. Somebody
had said that Frank Garrison had
money.
There is no need to tell of the disillu-
sion that gradually came. Frank found
his debts mounting up and his cares in
creasing. She was all sympathy and re-
gret when he mentioned it, but-there
were certain comforts. luXuries and
things she had always been accustomed
to, and couldn't live without. Surely he
would not have her apply to papa. No,
but-could she not manage with a lit
tie less? He was willing to give up his
cigars Gndeed, he had long since done
sol and to make his uniforms last a
year longer-he who was in his day the
most carefully dressed man at the
Point. Well-she thought perhaps he
ought to do -besideS-men's fash
ions changed but slowly, whereas wom-
EMS well, I'd rather be dead than
out Of style, Frank"
And so it went.
But if she did not love her husband
there was one being in whom her
frivolous heart was really bound up
Nita-her baby sister," as she called
her, and when Terriss, the colonel, went
the way of all flesh, preceded only few
months by the wife of his bosom, the
few thousands in life insurance he had
managed to maintain went to the two
daughters. Not one penny was ever
laid out in payment of the debts of
either the father or husband. Nita was
sent to an eXtravagant finishing school
in Gotham. and along in May of the
young girls graduating year, blithe lit
tie Mrs. Garrison arrived, fresh from
tho far west and after few weeks of
sightseeing and shopping the sisters
appeared at the Point, even half-mourn-
ing by this time discarded. Thirteen
years difference was there in the ages
of the Fairy Sisters, and not a soul save
those who knew them in former days on
the frontier would have suspected it.
Mrs. Frank in evening dress didn't look
over 20.
One lovely evening early in August,
just about the time that Cadet Capt,
Latrobe began to show well to the
front in the run for the prize, tie tive

sisters had gone to their room Mt the
hotel to dress for the hop. 1t was their
custom to disappear from public gaze
about six o'clock, and when they came
floating down the stairs in filmy,
diaphanous clouds of white. the halls
were well filled with impatient cavaliers
in the natty cadet uniform, and the
women waiting to see. Then the sis
ters would go into the dining-room and
have some light refreshments, with 4
glass of iced tea-and no matter how
torrid the heat or how flushed and
dragged other women might look, they
were inviting pictures of all that was
ever fresh cool and fragrant. The tive
fluffy blonde heads would be huddleg
close together a minute as they studied
the bill of fare, and virtuous matrons TX

bottom of this public display of sisterly
devotion and harmony and in spite Of
occasional titfs and differences, there
was genuine affection on both sides
and there could be no doubling the
elders love for the child. Some regi.
mental observers said that every bit OF
heart that eldest Terriss girl had was
wrapped up in the little one. Neither
girl, even after Margaret's marriage,
would listen to word in disparagement
of the other. but in the sanctity of the
sisterly retreat on the third floor of the
old hotel there occurred sometimes
spirited verbal tits that were quite dis
tinctly audible to passers-by in the cor
ridor, provided they cared to listen,
which some of them did. On this es-
pecial August evening Mrs. Frank was
in an admonitory frame of mind. They
had known Mr.. Latrobe barely three
weeks, and yet as Mrs. Frank was
sauntering around turn in Filtration
Walk, leaning on the arm of the cadet
adJutant, there in the pathway right
ahead stood Nita, lovely little picture.
with downcast eyes, and Pat" Latrobe
bending over her with love and passion
glowing in his handsome face, pleading
eagerly, clinging fervently to both her
tiny white-gloved hands. Mrs. Garrison
saw it all in the flash of a second, the
adjutant not at all, for with merrY
laughter she repeated some words he
had just spoken as though they were
about the wittiest, funniest things in
the world, and looked frankly up into
his eyes as though he were the best and
brightest man she had met in years
so his eyes were riveted, and the tabeau
had time to dissolve. All the same that
sight gave Mrs. Garrison rather more
than bad quarter of an hour. She was
infinitely worried. Not because Pat
Latrobe had fallen desperately in love
with her charming little sster-that
was his lookout-but what-oh, what
might not happen if the charming little
sister were to fall in love with that
handsome soldier boy. At all hazards
even if she had to whisk her away to-
morrow, that had to be stopped, and
this very evening when they went to
their room Margaret spoke.
