AT THE cANNoN's MOUTH.

Major Arthur Fitzgerald LacelIes sat
| near to corner of the dungeon anc
watched the tarantulas. Close by tht
major, with chin resting on drawn-ul
knees, sat Color Sergeant John Halli-
WELL This man had no eyes for the
tarantulas; his gaze was introspectlve
( The dungeon was subterraneous to the
extent of ten feet The massive walls
were mucid with damp and moisture
swelled into huge drops and spashed
upon the green floor. Sometimes one
fell upon a spider and made him shiver,
but the tarantulas never moved, only
just waited, waited.
Half an hour in this dungeon would
have cowed a savage dog. Yet into it
man had thrown his brother man. To
whom did it belong? To the Rajah of
of execrabIe memory.
In the year 81, when the flames of
rebellion swept over India, every day
was fraught with incidents dramatic.
tragic, pathetic, terrible. The follow
ing is the narrative of one such Incl
dent, the story Of a fiend's thought, Of
a madman's exultation, of the cruelty
of the tiger of Cawnpore.
Color Sergeant John Halliwell like
most of his kind, loved his life. He
knew he was about to lose it: that
made him grave. He also loved a wo-
man. The loss of the one implied the
loss Of the other; this made him sad.
Presently he looked toward his COM
panion and seemed about to speak.
Then, thinking better of it, he became
once more lost in meditation. Why, he
asked himself, should he make the con-
fession? Probably he would be harsh
ly rebuked for his temerity. But then
at such an hour man yearns to open
his heart to his fellow.

timacy between the superior and his
Major, I have something
to tell you"
The majors knitted brows relaxed.
"If did not believe, sir, that I have
fought my last battle my secret should
have remained unrevealed. 1t is just
possible that one of us may see the
light again. If that one should be
y oIi HSiL, oilt VIII SOu hGilNtI u HltS-
sage from me?"
''Why, certainly, Halliwell. What is
ito"
"A message, sir, to your daughter
whom heaven preserve from
this land gone mad. I love her You
look angry; [ cannot help it. She is the
angel of my life.'
"Confound it. sir. But I am angry,
ana very angry, too, The devil You
look high, my friend.'
Let 1t not disturb you, sir Life
might have given her to mel believe
1t would have done so; for, had l not
been so miserably caught, I would
have won promotion at this time, when
honor and glory lie within the grasp of
Every brave man, And, speaking with
all respect, my lineage will bear COM

as being ruined. The remodelling of the
drink and succession duties, he added
would be financial reform which had
been awaited for fifty years.
The French have shown such ability
to get out of bad financial conditions
that it is easy to believe they are in no
real danger just now.

ANDREW ". DE FOE EST.

Andrew w. DeForest, who died yes
terday, had lived long, and his life had
been full of industry, honesty honor
and usefulness. With large ability,
untiring patience and quiet persistence
he attained distinguished place in the
business affairs of New Haven. He also
won good name and the hearty re-
spect of his fellow citizens. He had Il
truly solid character, and was known
and valued for his integrity his wis
dom, his kindness, his tact and his reli-
ability. He was in all ways a worthy
citizen Astounding but modest in good
works, and devoted to his church, his
family and his friends. The death of
such man makes a sharp feeling of
loss but the life of such a man is gain
to humanity and to hope.

in South Africa and China. Many es-

TIyy7 EJN1 NOES or FRANCE

There has been some talk lately about
the bad financial condition of France,
but NJ Calliaux, the Minister of
Finance, has told a different and a
plausible story. In his speech in the
Chamber the other day he maintained
that the increase of expenditure was
smaller in France than elsewhere. 1t
amounted in England to SO per cent. in
eleven years, he said, whereas in France
the outlay on national defence, the post
al service and public works was indis-
francs caused by the Incorporation of
the special military budget with the or
binary budget would be partly met, he
declared, by the sale of national prop
ertv Welding 10000 600 or 90 600 ooo
francs, and by that of the Notifications
of Paris. which would produce about
$50, 0000 600 francs. The floating debt
was reduced every year. and a first step
had been taken for the reduction of the
permanent debt of 22 milliards In five
years the debt would be automatically
by 500, 100000 francs. The cost
of the expedition to China and the oc-
cupation of the GASES of Twat would be
met, he said, by increased revenue and
by an indemnity from China. France
was prospecting, he asserted, and would
be still more prosperous if certain poll

The Georgia Supreme court has decid-
ed that Congress has no power to pre-
scribe rules Of evidence for State courts
The case was that of Slocum vs. Small,
brought up from the Superior court of
Jones county. A lease was introduced
during the court proceedings, and be-
cause it had no revenue stamp the
counsel for Small declared it illegal and
inadmissible as evidence. Judge John
C. Hart held that the lease was admis-
sible, and on that ground the case was
brought to the Supreme court The
main point in the case was whether the
Congress of the United States has any
right to prescribe rules of evidence for
a State court, and the court held to the
contrary.

According to the official statement of
the French government, the railroad in
the French Soudan had been completed
at the beginning of the present year to
the extent of 1856 miles, and by the end
Of 1900 1855 miles will have been COM
pleted. Next year fifty miles will be
built, and by 1904 the line will reach
Koulikoro, on the Niger, 355 miles from
Hayes, the cost per mile having been
$4,000 1t will be run for many years
by subsidies amounting to some $500, 900
a year, the traffic receipts being under
5000 a year. 1t is a great point Of
French policy to tap the trade of the
upper reaches of the Niger by means of
this railroad for the French port on the
Atlantic and prevent it from going
southwark to the sea through British or
German territory. The commerce of
Timbuctoo and the adjacent regions
may be diverted, it is thought, into ex-
clusively French hands.
