the privilege of dwelling under the
roof, in its present ruinous state. The
'sMoated Grange had been purchased,
a quarter of a century previously, by
the late MARQUIS of Wareham, who
had been engaged in the agreeable,
if reckless pursuit of Sowing his Wild
oats" The place had even at that time
been scarcely of marketable value, ow-
ing to the long neglect Of the impoV-
erished family who had owned it, and
Lord Wareham had bought it for
mere song. He had never lived in the
house for any prolonged period, but it
had amused him to have three or four
rooms made barely habitable, and to
stop at the Grange over night.
OF course the old house had the repu-
tation of being haunted. Various more
or less horrible ghost stories were cur
rent regarding it, and it was even
said to have been the hiding-place for
a band of robbers. There were ru-
mors of a secret room, which, after
Lord Wareham became owner, gossip
affirmed that he had discovered. But
when questioned as to this, as he often
was he only laughed and shrugged his
shoulders.
The CHASTITY legends which clustered
round the Moated Grange had, in the
days of Lord Warehams wild tenancy,
but rendered the more attractive to
his friends. Many a card-party had
been held in the great "bow-windoW
room" which jutted out over the moat,
beginning after dinner on one day, and
not dissolving till men were ready
to fall with fatigue from their chairs
after a twenty-four hours sitting.
Randal Palgrave had often enough
been a member Of such parties, for he
and his cousin had been on friendly
terms, despite his treatment OF Lady
Mary. When Wareham died. much to
Palgrave's surprise, it appeared that
the Moated Grange was left to him,
with the hope that it might afford
him half the amusement it had given
it's former possessor.
Palgrave had hardly known how to
accept the gift at the time-Nhether
to believe it had been bestowed upon
him in a spirit of mockery or genuine
20 fhot II might
however, the house had remained
empty and shut up for the space OF
one-and-twenty years. Palgrave seldom
or never thought of it at last, having
discovered, after many desperate eff
forts, that it was useless to attempt to
sell or let it. Now strangely enough,
as he dined alone in his Bloomsbury
flat, rejecting upon the news of Lei
cesters forthcoming marriage, sud
denly the recollection of the Moated
Grange flashed, picture-like, into his
mind.
by Jove!" he exclaimed aloud, ris-
ing from the table. He had not yet
had the sweets, of which he was usu-
ally Unfortunately fond, but somehow,
the thought of the old house, and an
idea which that thought suggested to
him, had banished all desire even for
his favorite delicacies.
The gloomy page boy, who did, or
was supposed to do the whole duty Of
butler and at least two footmen COM
bined, was informed that his master
had a sudden indisposition, and would
go out into the air.
1t was December, and a light furry
of snow was falling. Palgrave delight
ed in the cool touch Of the large,
feathery fakes as they few against his
forehead, for his head was hot and
wiry pulses had begun to throb in his
temples.

The District Commissioners are quite
accustomed to the receipt of letters from
all parts of the United States asking in
formation upon variety of topics. But
they were not a little surprised upon
reading one received yesterday from a
resident of Fairmount, w. Va.
The correspondent stated that he was a
young man of twenty-one, and has the
misfortune to be partially deaf. He in
forms the Commissioners that this mis-
fortune is a great drawback to his success
in life. and he thinks that II he could
hear perfectly he would have bright fu-
ture.
The correspondent goes on to say that
he has heard of Francis Schlatter, called
the Divine Healer" He says he wrote
to the healer and asked him if he could
effect cure. This the healer declared
he could do. Now the correspondent
wants to know whether Schlatter is any
good, and whether he can be depended
upon to cure people of ailments.
The Commissioners are at a loss how
to answer their correspondent, as none of
them has had the least experience with
the divine healer.

formation from the Commissioners rela-
tive to the street she lives in such being
the confusion of streets, numbers etc,
that she was unable really to locate her
newly acquired home. She informs the
| Commissioners that her house is 1906 Gin
cinnati Street northwest, but friends,
messenger boys, and delivery wagons, she
declares, are unable to find the house,
leading to much confusion and annoyance.
She informs the Commissioners that the
trouble arises from the junction, SO to
speak, of Cincinnati Street, Adams Mill
and Columbia Roads. and Eighteenth
Street. She asks whether the streets can
not be so designated upon the lamps at
the corners that people can find the way
to her house.
w. P. Richards, in reporting to the En-
gineer Commissioner upon the matter,
sent a plat of the streets in which the
course and ends of the several streets
were shown. He informed the Engineer
Commissioner that he did not think any
change could be made to meet the difficult
ty raised by Miss Magruder. He recon-
D.ended that the writer be told that Gin
cilnati Street is really an extension of
Eighteenth Street, and much of the trou-
BILE would be obviated.
Captain Newcomer, in forwarding the
report Of Mr.. Richards to the Commits
sioners. recommended that Adams Mill
Road and Eighteenth Street be considered
as ending at Columbia Road. He states
that if the designation of Eighteenth
Street is carried beyond Columbia Road
it would lead to the anomalous condition
of having houses on the west side of this
road designated as being on Eighteenth
Street while those on the east side would
be designated as being on the Adams Mill |
Road. Under this recommendation Cincin-
natl Street would terminate in Adams Mill |
Road, the eastern limit on the south side
being at the alley before the bend into |

European immigration.

The New York Sun has been count
ing up the totals of European migra~.
ton during the century, and finds that
the movement is the greatest of the
kind recorded in history. In the first
twenty years of the century only $780,
600 Europeans came to this country,
but between 1920 and 1882 more than
100000 migrated to the Americas
In the last named year alone the Unit
ed States received 100000 immigrants
Since 1882 the European outpouring to
various parts of the world has been
over 100000 souls. Trustworthy da-
ia indicate that during the century Eu-
rope has been drained of 10000 900
persons seeking to better their for
tunes in other lands. This number is
equal to three-fifths of the total pop
ulation of Europe at the time of Au-
gustus Caesar 1t represents third
more people than Great Britain and
Ireland gained in the first ninety years
of the century. 1t Is greater than the
total number of inhabitants of the
United Kingdom in 1860, and only a
little less than the total population of
the United States in the same year.
Yet this tremendous loss seems to have
strengthened Europe rather than weak
ened 1t. This unprecedented migru-
ton seems to have been healthy en-
pansion movement on the part of the
civilized races. Probably this remark
able phase of history will never be re-
peated, for there remain no more such
vast and fertile wildernesses in the
temperate zone as the United States

Cambridge, Feb. 1.-THE most i'm
to the members of the university ap-
peared in the Crimson signed by pro-
minent rowing men in the university.
AS to the new scheme the signers of
the document say:
1T Is now clear to everybody that
the success Of rowing at Harvard de-
ponds on the broadcast and most sys-
tematic plan of competition that can
be produced. The old class-crew
scheme has proved inadequate, for it
cannot possibly begin to handle 500
men and give them all races. The best
that the class-crew system can do is
to provide rowing for twenty or
twenty-five men in each class. The
present plan is to have each club get
one or more class-crews from each of
the three upper classes and the law
school. Each pair in the same class.
that is, the two la wschools, the two
senior, the two junior, and the two
sophomore crews, who race together
about April Z, are to determine which
crew shall represent the class. About
April IA the class races will be held be-
tween the winners of the four prelimi-
nary trials. There will also be held
on the same day a race between the
four losing crews. This method of
selecting the crews is considered pre-
ferable because by it the number of
men who can get the experience of
rowing on their class crew is doubled.
That is during the training season the
number Of men on an equal footing
in each class is increased from eight.
as at present, to sixteen. and these
sixteen, divided into two crews, get the
experience and competition of racing
against each other as we'll as against
the corresponding crews of other
classes OF course there is nothing tC
prevent the formation of additional!
crews in each club If men enough are
rowing to fill them.
1T seems advisable to divide the two
clubs up evenly, as it is essential that
all the good men in one class shall not
be together, and the best plan seems
to be to allow not more than four rlen
out of any one of last years class crews
to row from the same club, and to di-

loyalty. Soldiers of this class require

officers to be. He hunts the tiger in
India, the elephant in Africa, and the
native everywhere" and is always
ready for adventure. For the most
part they despise strategy and tao

and compensate for their deficiencies
by GOODNESS and courage.
These are samples of the tone in
which the European Continental press
speaks Of the British Army giving
credit to the merit of the fighting ele-
ment, but as a general rule criticising
severely the generals and staff.
