A Good Story.

John Drew gives the following
as Zone of the Best Stories
Ever Heard:' "He had lost his
life in the great Johnstown flood.
lie was dead, but the appalling
scenes and incidents of that ter
rible event were still the only
things on which he could fix his
thoughts. As he entered the
pearly gates of the spirit world he
was so full of his subject that he
felt he must talk of it.
"He approached an aged man
and told him the story of how he
died and gave him a vivid word
picture of the scenes of dcvasta,
tiOn in connection with the flood.
1t was a luriG tale: but to the
Johnstown mans surprise, his
auditor showed little interest in it
in fact, he seemed rather bored.
The food victim told the next man

difference to his story.
"That's not strange, said the

courteous invitation sent some days ago in
viting him TO visit and examine the Fanny

Rev. Father Audet. The Mother Superior
then conducted the party over the hospital

In CHINA,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-Through-
out Tuesday up to late hour last
night word was anxiously awaited from
Gen. Chaffee as to the development of
the military situation near Pekin, but
not word came, nor did Admiral
Remey send anything on the situation.
The last heard from Gen. Chaffee, he
was at Ho 81 WI, and according to all
calculations, he must now be very near
Pekin, unless events have occurred to
delay the advance. The officials are
taking into account that anadvance even
up to Pekin leaves much to be accom-
pllshed in military way. 1t was stated
to-day by au official who mas lived at
Pekin that nothing short of the heaviest
artillery could make any impression
upon the walls of the imperial city.
He said light artillery would be of no
avail and for this reason the advance of
a flying column even up to the walls of
the city could effect little if stubborn
defence were determined upon. The
walls are some fifty feet high and wide
enough on top for two coaches to pass
abreast. From an offensive stand
point the walls afford opportunity for
planting guns while from defensive
standpoint they could not be preached
except by the use of very heavy pro.
jectiles.
At the close of the official day the
State department bulletined the follow

THE DARK SIDE.

SEATTLE, WASH. Aug. 1.-THE
steamship Centennial has arrived from
Cape Nome with advices of the wreck
of the steamers Merwin, Resolute and
Dollar on the beach during fierce
storms August 2 and 3. The Merwin
is total loss. One boat containing
five people was overturned and all
drowned. Fifteen people were drowned
in all. General Randall received in
structions to afford transportation for
over five thousand destitute and indi-
gent sick at Nome. Terrible sufferings
are said to be prevailing among them.
A chaotic state of turmoil and lawless-
ness is expected before all are gotten
out.
The Centennial brought back 600
Disguised passengers with hardluck
stories. Cape Nome officials are GEN.
sured. The present privations and
sufferings, it is claimed, have resulted
from the rejection of prospectors from
the beach strip on which many depend
ed for the necessities of life. Money is
scarce in camp and there is very little
gold from the creeks, owing to the con-
tinued dry weather. Sickness is still
prevalent.

TAKES STRAY CUR TO FARM.
Bill Saunders, of Keytesville, Mo-,
Finds II Friend on the Streets
of Chicago.

He said he was from Keytesville,
jeans, the trousers of which looked as
II they had been made for grain sacks
and then turned into the more useful
article of apparel by ripping open
the ends and running seam down
the front and rear. His hat was of
the SLOUGH variety and fell so far
down over bis eyes that he was com
PEELED frequently to give it an up
ward toss SO he could see. His shoes
were heavy and struck the pavement
with the heavy click produced by hard
sole-leather. In one hand he carried
an old-fashioned carpet-bag. Gath
cred up in the other arm and held
comfortably was a strengthening
brown cur, a cross between bulldog
and pointer.
The man was bound for the Dear
born street station when policeman
stopped him with a query regarding
the future life of the dog. The coun-
tryman responded promptly that the
animal met the requirements of his
farm and he thought the citizens of
Chicago would not miss one lone dog
that seemed homeless. The officer
said he guessed that was about right
and Bill Saunders continued his way
rejoicing in the fact that he was tab
ing home more than he had brought
v, the city, If his purse was lighter.

REASONS FOR REFUSING.
Capricious Women Who Preferred
No Lovers to Those They Had
Accepted.

A young woman of birmingham,
England, became betrothed last sum
mer to young solicitor, preliminaries
were arranged and the Ivnu vo~,--
only awaited the arrival home of the
bridegroom's father from lengthy
sojourn in America to be made one.
In due course he came, but when the
bride beheld one who, while he would
have easily qualified for "fat man"
at fair, asserted that In his son he
once again beheld himself in youth,
she refused to fulfil! her promise, and
now seeks lover to whom the future
does not threaten such ample proper
tionk.
Some years since a lady was en-
gagged to gentleman who bore the
name and was u relation of a certain
gallant soldier, who, q. month previous
to the date appointed for the cere-
mony, while on service abroad had
the misfortune to meet with a severe
reverse. No sooner did the news come
to hand than the lady, q member of
whose family had been wounded in
the disastrous action, declined, unless
he should promise to change his
name, to become his wife. To this
caprice the gentleman refused to sub
NIT, so the match fell through.

STRANGE DOCUMENT,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15-The War
department makes public the cores
pondence of the Filipino government
captured by Gen. Funston, showing to
what extent an anti-imperialist has
gone in opposing the policy Of their
country in the Philippines.
One document is letter from Mon
tague Il. Leverson of Fort Hamilton,
N. Y, to Gslcauo Apscible, head of
the Filipino Junta at Hong Kong, adj
dressed, "Dear Sir and Brother" 1t

of Lexington" as having recommended
Apaciable as preventative OF the Fill
ipinos.
Leverson introduced himself as a
member OF the anti-imperialist league
of Boston, of which George 5. Bout.
well is president, and Erving Winslow
secretary, and says he has published
many articles denouncing the "prati-
cal war carried on by President Nc
Kinlev against your people," also that
mckinley and Otis and all troops are
pirates uponthe territory of the natives.
Leverson advises the Flipinos to cap
ture some high United States officer
bring him before the council Of foreign
consuls for piracy and show him guilty
"of conducting a war in violation of thu
usages of civilized war, the proof con
sisting in his consent to killing defence
less prisoners and non combatants."
