COAL AND WOOD

BY ELEvATING THE QUALITY
our coal we lower the price in economy OF
consumption. Consumers will find that it is
cheaper to use our high grade Lee Coal, that
has been screened and freed from slate and
stone, than that Of an inferior grade. 1t gives
more heat, less ashes and burns longer than
any other coal, and our prices are as low as
any. Coal and Wood under cover.

ever. Well, the lady said, that
one of the flowers was artificial
and that she had the exact mate
to it and that before the season
was over she was going to claim
a dance with the fellow that had
the mate-flower; and she winked
at ST in a manner that | didn t
like. Now there was one young
guy in our party that didn't like
any of all this a little bit. He
seemed to be trying to pick a
quarrel with me all the evening
and he was powerful jealous be-
cause of the favor this lady show
ed me. '1'd advise you to have
your corns well protected before
you find the mate-fower," said
he very rudely to the lady, look
ing very contemptuous-like at
me, whereupon l said, "Oh, the
lady didn't say she was going to
dance with you!" And we glared
at each other and, up in Missis-
isippi, that usually meant shot
guns.
By and by the procession came,
one of the most gorgeously beau
tiful things l have ever seen
in my life. After that we went
to the ball and that was more
beautiful than anything l had
ever seen. It beat all the parades
in the world, for on all sides were
beautiful women, and you know,
short of Kentucky horse-show,
there amt anything to compare
with such a sight.
When our party left the ball
that night we stopped down stairs
to have a smile and up come this
youngster. He was one of us,
but we had been trying to shake
him. He slapped me on the back,
saying, "Old Sox, l want to con-
graduate you! You certainly do
dance" but at his slap had felt
a strange sensation in my dress
coat, l had heard strange noise
and feeling back, perceived that
his slap had split my dress coat
open from top to bottom. 81

answered, "but you have for one

class sample of a cad, SIR" for l

Enough, sir. You shall an
swer to me for this tomorrow
morning. Choose your weapons.
l shall leave the details to your
friends here. These gentlemen
will answer for me-" And he
turned and walked out.
"What's the matter with that
fellow, 81? l shall fill him full of
holes for breakfast tomorrow
morning! He made himself in
suffera BILE.
"What weapon do you prefer,
Bill?" asked ST.
"Pistol, of course.
Sufficient said. Gentlemen at
$50 tomorrow morning." said
ST turning to two of our own par
ty whom this young idiot had
selected. SIN the woods back of
City Park. Drive to the railroad
track, get out and follow the track
to avoid suspicion. You shall
find us there"
And I went to the hotel that
night, madder than l had been in
seven years and resolved that
that young blood would have to
shoot early, quick and straight,
if he didn't want to visit the bone
yard for keeps next day. l was
so mad couldn't sleep for hours.

kins, "when that little breakfast
at Begue's broke up we all had
our sea-legs. There was one
young gentleman who wanted to
sing who might as we'll have had
no legs at all for the good they
did him. He couldn't stand on
them. And they wouldn't let
him sing. 1t was for all the world
like Christmas time.
"Bill, "asked 81, "did you bring
your dress suit with you?"
"Why no." said 1, "for l hadn t
worn a dress suit since the days
l ran for the Legislature and had
to have one for dinner now and
then, you know, and gave that
one away when l was defeated.
''By Jove, if you'll believe me,
l have forgot mine. " said ST, ''and
we must get one, for here are in
vitations to Nereus ball tonight
and we mustn't miss that. Let S
go get a claw-hammer." So we
went around to some place or
other and ST got suit to fit him,
but mine was little tight in the
back. "Why it fits you like a
glove" said ST, but | had my
doubts about it. felt like a balk-
ing horse looks. We went and
had a turkish bath then, and gol-
darn if a sif-foot fellow didn't
almost kill me. Iasked him if he
thought I was made of plate-ar-
NOR but he didn't see the point
and reckoned l could stand some
battering. Then ST and I snozzed
until nigh on to six O'Clock, and
got up feeling like prize-fghters.
We put on our claw-hammers
and went around to Antoine's on
St. Louis street and met a num-
Der of gentlemen there waiting
for us. Such a dinner as was
served us! 1 believe large num-

reminded me of the time when |
was running for the Legislature.
We drove around to Canal street
and whiz, you ought to have
seen the people! The whole
street was a blaze of fire. 1t was
light as day. We reined our car
riages up and waited for the COM
ing of the Krew of Nereus pro-
cession, and while we were wait
ing a carriage came up filled with
four handsome ladies dressed
gorgeous. You know everybody
is powerful friendly during the
carnival times in New Orleans
and the ladies' didn't mind engag-

ty, but sorter opened it in fact.
81 was talking to one of them and
trying to exchange bouquets with
her, but she wouldn't let him
have hers but finally said, 4 am

Washington. ID. c.. Oct -. 1900.
.-Excellency-I have the honor TO ac-
knowledge the receipt of your note of
the sd of October. enclosing the text of
an agreement between Great Britain and
Germany relating to affairs in China.
which was signed in London on the 18th
instant by the Marquis of salisbury and
the German ambassador on behalf of their
respective governments. and inviting the
acceptance by the United States Of the
principles recorded in that agreement.
These principles are:
Il 1t is a matter of joint and perma-
nent international interest that the ports
on the rivers and littoral of China should
remain free and open TO trade and TO
every other legitimate form of economic
activity for the citizens of all countries
| without distinction. and the two govern
ments agree on their part TO uphold the
same for all Chinese territory as far as
they can exercise influence
- Her Britannia Majesty's govern
ment and the imperial German govern
ment will not on their part make use of
the present complications TO obtain for
themselves any territorial advantages in
! Chinese dominions. and will direct their
policy toward maintaining undminished
| the territorial condition of the Chinese
empire.
The United States have heretofore
made known their adoption of both these
ba lasr
eminent invited the powers interested in
China to join in an expression of views
and purposes in the direction of impartial
trade with that country. and received sat
| isfactory assurances TO that effect from
all of them.
When the recent troubles were at
their height this government. on the Sd
| of July, once more made an announce
ment of its policy regarding impartial
trade and the integrity of the Chinese
empire. and had the qualification of learn
| ing that all the powers held similar
views. And since that time the most
gratifying harmony has existed among
all the nations concerned as to the ends
to be pursued. and there has been little
| divergence of opinion as to the details of
| the course TO be followed.
1T is therefore with much satisfaction
that the president directs me to inform
you of the full sympathy of this govern
ment with those of her Britannia majesty
and the German emperor in the principles
set forth in the clauses of the agreement
| above cited.
The third clause of the agreement
provides:
'3. In case of another power making
itself complications in China in order
| to obtain under any form whatever any
territorial advantages. the two contract
ing parties reserve TO themselves to
come to preliminary understanding as
to the eventual steps to be taken for the
protection of their own interests in
! China.
As this clause refers to g reciprocal
| Arrangement between the two high con
tracing parties. the government of the
United States does not regard itself as
called upon to express an opinion in re-
spect to ii.

ONE OF THE FINEST
Train on Which Dewey Left Washing
ton For Chicago.

Washington, April 30.-Admiral Dew
ey, accompanied by Mrs. Dewey and
his private secretary, Lieut.. Caldwell,
left here at noon yesterday in a special
train over the Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road, en- route to Chicago to participate
in the celebration of the second ami
versary of the battle of Manila bay.
Their train was one of the finest which
has ever left the capital city, and IS
scheduled to reach Chicago at II o'clock
cars, fitted with every luxury, and to
insure the greatest possible comfort to
the travellers. Upon the central win
dows on either side of the three cars
was painted the admirars flag and the
hotel car was profusely decorated with
flowers and potted plant. Just before
the train pulled out of the station Mrs.
Dewey was presented with a handsome
bO- quet of American Beauty roses.
Probably thousand people were on
hand and a cheer went up as the train
pulled out. Mr.. J. H. Maddy of the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad accompanied
the party in order to give his personal
supervision to the trip.
Admiral Dewey was seen at his home
just before leaving the city for Chicago
and was asked if he had any statement
to make about the presidency:
mo- said he. 'I think it would be
in bad taste for me to say anything of
political nature just at this time. AS
the admiral of the navy I accepted the
invitations to visit Chicago, Jackson
vile, St. Louis, Memphis, Nashville and
Knoxville, which cities had asked me to
be their guest; and I do not wish any
thing political to enter into the trip

MATANzAS SAD.
MOurns the Death of Major Gen.
eral Wilson's Wife.

Havana, April 30.-Matarzas city is
in mourning over the death of Mrs.
Wilson, the wife of Major General
James H. Wilson, military governor Of
the department Of Matanzas and Santa
Clara. who died last Saturday from the
effects of burns received that day by
her dress catching fire from a match
on which she had stepped. Mrs. Wilson
had become endeared to all classes of
the community and her death has
brought forth expressions of sympathy
not only from the residents of Matan-
zas, but from people throughout the
island, who have telegrap phed condolences
and expressions of sympathy to General
Wilson and his bereaved family.
It appears that Mrs Wilson, accom-
panied by her daughter was taking her
daily drive in a light wagon when the
accident occurred. About ten minutes
after she had started it was discovered
that her dress was on fire, and it was
presumed that she had trod on a match
which had ignited her clothing. The
driver immediately stopped the vehicle
and with the aid of Mrs. WILSON'S s
daughter did everything possible to ex-
tinguish the flames, but she was badly
burned before this could be effected.
Mrs. Wilson was taken home, suffering
terribly. General Wilson, who was at
his office, was Immediately notified and
hastened to the side of his wife. Doc
tors were summoned Immediately, but
the burns and resulting shock proved
too much, and she expired after five
hours of suffering.
The body has been embalmed, and
General Wilson and his two daughters
and his aides will accompany it north
Tuesday on board the United States
transport BufOrd The interment will
take place at Wilmington, Del.
