BIG HALL IN RUINS.
THE KANsA AS CITY CONVENTION
BUILDING is BURNED.
Great Auditorium in Which the Ma
fionai Democratic Convention Was to
Have Been Held Is Total Loss
Will BE Rebuilt without Delay.

The Kansas City convention hall, the
largest auditorium in the United States,
with perhaps one exception, and in which
the Democratic national convention was
to have been held, caught fire shortly
after ! o'clock Wednesday afternoon.
The fire started in the rear, and the beau
tiful building was soon a mass Of flames.
The firemen could do but little but to
attempt to save surrounding property.
Half an hour after the fire was discoy-
cred the roof fell in with crash. The
Second Presbyterian Church nearby
caught fire. and is almost total loss.
The fire next spread to a row of three
story flats, and the Aldine fats, an apart
ment, was threatened. The Lathrop
school caught FIRE, but the pupils were
marched out in safety.
The convention hall cost about quar-
ter of a million, and is insured. Before
the roof of the building fell $4,000 had
been subscribed by spectators to rebuild
the hall, and it is claimed the entire
amount will be raised in short time by
public subscription. The directors of the
burned building say it will be rebuilt,
and be ready for the opening of the
Democratic convention on July 4.

The Potations OF Poets.

Francois Coppee, the French poet,
while in England met AlgernOn
Charles Swinburne. The rest of the
experience came after Coppee had ac-
companied Swinburne to his house and
had something to drink. Swinburne
offered him delicious refreshments, and
when the visitor was sufficiently recoy-
cred to enjoy cheerful treat showed
him over the villa. The place, accord
ing to Coppee after the drink, was a
museum of horrors. Everywhere one
turned hideous sights met ones eyes.
There We're skeletons of men and
beasts, skinned heads under glass
cases, snakes, monkeys, satanic cats,
odious dogs with Chinese faces, models
of the collins of different countries,
deaths heads grinning between cur
tains, the embalmed head Of a negro
resting on-a white velvet cushion" The
walls were covered with CHASTITY pic
lures, among them the gray phantom
with pale green sky and suffering
moon. Seeing that this picture appealed
deeply to his brother poet, Swinburne
took it from the wall and presented it
to Coppee as souvenir of their happy
meeting and of the beginning of rare
friendship. Golfers Weekly.

CHAPTER III.

Mr.. WeemS, upon regaining his gig,
drove directly into Kingsgate. which was
but a short distance from Dalziel Tow
ers, and presently found himself In
dingy little office in which were two men
in consultation.
One of these was Sir Luke Dalziel and
the other was Mr.. Chelmsford, the pro-
prietor Of the office. They both arose
at the entrance of Weems, as though
they had half-expected his visit.
II hope you've got everything settled
between you," said he. 1T isn't likely
that I shall see you many times more
before going. ON board ship"
There's very little more to settle that
I can think Of" said Sir Luke. Were
pretty we'll agreed
'.Yes. to be sure" said Mr.. Chelmsford
a profound, hatchet-faced and insincere
looking old man. Indeed, Weems, you
might as we'll be in South Africa at this
very moment, without the interval of a
long sea voyage, so far as our arrange
ments are concerned"
81 wish that I vast said Weems. Its
no pastime, that voyage to Cape Town, /
can tell you"
You have got your horses shipped!''
Sdlu tSII
''Yes; and the little piece of machinery
that we three know something about,
said Weems, with chuckle.
'1That affair has cost so much money,
that I'd like to see it work before being
put to use,' said the lawyer.

slowed away under the bulk in my cabin
the most innocent package you ever saw
and there, just before sailing, with
closed doors, and over farewell battle
of something good, I'll take it apart and
explain the whole thing to you.'
Both Sir Luke and Mr.. Chelmsford
agreed to this proposition, and then the
lawyer observed, cautiously:
However, in view of the tremendous
penalty to be exacted in case of our de-
lection in this enterprise, would it not
have been more prudent to have had the
machinery constructed in Cape Town, in
stead Of here in London?
.Bosh! Where's the mechanician in
that outlandish spot!' exclaimed Weems
contemptuously.
."True, didn't think of that" said the
lawyer. by the way, Weems, you are
sure of the contriver's discretion, are
you?'
.I'm sure of his total, unsuspecting ig
norance, which is blessed sight better
thing" said Weems ''He is quaint
dreamy sort of an old codger, who i'm
agined all the time he was making the
machine that it was designed for some
new-fangled alarm clock"

crop looks favorable and enters spring in
excellent condition. Outside of a linn
tied area in Southern California, winter
wheat ON the Pacific coast is well adj
vanced and promising. Some spring wheat
has been sown over the southern portion
of the spring wheat region, and also in
Montana, where the season is unusually
advanced.
Corn is being planted in the Southern
States, some as far north as North Caro-
lima. In Southern Texas the bulk Of the
crop has been planted. Oats are being
sown in Kansas, Missouri, Ohio and Ken
lucky, and are coming up to good stands
in Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Tennes-
see and Mississippi. Reports of winter
killing Of the fall crop are received from
Virginia and Georgia. Cotton planting
has begun over the southern portion Of
the cotton region. The prospects for fruit
are favorable, although peaches sustained
some damage in Missouri, Arkansas, Hi
nois and Ohio.
The soil is in good condition and con-
siderable blowing has been done in all
except the more northerly sections, where
frost still remains in the ground, and in
portions of New Jersey, Maryland, West
Virginia, Tennessee and North Carolina,
where this work has been delayed by wet
weather.

"Should Mr.. Weems wish to call on
the missus at the cottage what then, Sir
Luke?''
The horseman's brow suddenly grew
black with anger.
Look you, Towns" he exclaimed, in
deep, kissing voice, what do you mean
by bawling out my private CONCERNS in
that way! What have you got to do
with the mistress of Rose Cottage? And
who cares whether WeeI1is calls upon
her or not
Then, and before the man could frame
a reply, he once more wheeled his horse,
and rode rapidly away.
Not concern myself with the missus Of
Rose Cottage. eh?' muttered Towns
through his clenched teeth. $50, so, Sir
Luke Dalziel; and you, also, pretend not
to concern yourself about her! Just as
though everybody didn't know that she's
your lawful wife. for all that she con-
sents to bear the Scotch name under
which you married her at Gretna Green,
afore you ever dreamed of stepping into
good Sir Philips shoes and title! Are
you and Usurer Weems going to bully
the poor woman, between you, into re-
nouncing her rights, now that YOU re rich
and honored beyond your deserts, SO that
YOU may marry an heiress. Not if there s
law and justice in the land; and not if
the pretty missus has got the quiet spunk
| give her credit FORT
He would have doubtless continued his
soliloquy much longer, had he not been at
this moment interrupted by the sound Of
approaching footsteps, and looking across
the road. he saw young woman coming
out of the woodland path, with a small
basket on her arm.
The woman had at one time possessed
much beauty, but though yet young, she
was pale and careworn. There was
much quiet strength of character, how
ever, in her face; she carried herself
with frmness and dignity, and in spite Of
the simplicity of her attire. there was
something in the smile with which she
greeted the old man which betokened her
superiority.
1T is a lowering and unco' dismal

CLEVER COUP or BoERs.
Rout of Broadwood's Force Proves Skill
in Preparing Ambuscade.

in Preparing Ambuscade.
The London correspondents with Gen.
Roberts add little Of Importance to the
commander-in-chiefs account Of the dis
aster to Col. Broadwood's column. All
the accounts of the fight from British
source concur in stating that Col. Broad
wood force of about / 900 men was out
numbered by the Beers eight or ten to
one, and the arrival of the infantry di-
vision and Gen. French's cavalry alone
prevented the humiliation of Col. Broad
woods command.
AS regards the details of the affair,
the stories differ considerably. The af-
fair seems rather to testify to the skill
of the Beers in preparing ambuscades
than to neglect of the British to recon
hotter the route of the convoy. 1t seems
that the scouts Of the convoy must have
passed close to the ambushers, who APP
parently were as invisible as cartridges
in cover.
The correspondent of the London Morn
ing Post, in describing the working Of the
trap, says the convoy had scarcely pro-
ceeded 300 yards, and the men were still
eating breakfast, when the enemy opened
fire from donga in front and eighty
yards from the head of the convoy. The
fire was deadly, and the men of the lead
ing troops, Roberts horse, We're swept
from their saddles. A scene Of confusion
followed. The teams of four guns, their
drivers having been shot, stampeded and
carried the guns out of action. These
and one other gun were saved. The teams
of the other guns were shot, and the
guns, with the convoy, fell into the hands
of the enemy. Meanwhile Gen. Alder
sons brigade held back a force of the
enemy, estimated to number 1000, with
great gallantry, losing heavily, and fall
ing back by degrees. The enemy in a
donga in. their rear pursued the flying
guns until the approach of the Ninth
division from Bloemfontein checked the
pursuit.

Victoria Sets Foot ON Irish Soil After
Nearly Forty Years.
Queen Victoria set foot on Irish soil
Wednesday for the first time in almost
forty years. Dublin was respondent.
The decorations in the city and along the
route which the Queen took from Kings
town were. lavish and more magnificent
than those of London at the time of the
diamond jubilee. The streets were
spanned in hundred places by elabor-
ate arches bearing notices Of welcome
and expressions of loyalty. The entrance
to the city at Lesson street bridge was
marked by huge triumphal arch OF
flags, flowers and evergreen on which
was emblazoned welcome to Dublin
in gold letters. The streets were jammed
with people at an early hour. lrishmen
had gathered from the ends of the island,
and hundreds of Englishmen were in the
throng. The entire route from Kings
town to Dublin was lined with spectators.
The Queen was received by the Lord
Lieutenant of Ireland, Earl Cadogan,
the Duke of Connaught, commander Of
the forces in Ireland, Lord Mayor Talton
Of Dublin and number Of other nota-

grave. sweet voice, that was falntly
tinged with the Scottish peculiarly OF
pronunciation. ''Has Sir Luke passed
by?"
"He has. Mrs Graeme," said Towns,
after responding to her salutation with
much cheeriness. Tile left word fhat ne
would visit the solicitor
.What! left such word for me-!
There was such a sudden and glad
eagerness in her manner of saying TINS
that the old man hesitated in his an

81 was to give that word to Mr.
Weems. in case he should drive up to the
gate.'' he at length muttered.
Mrs. Graeme's face fell, and she grew
disturbed. as well as saddened.

The old man echoed this sentiment in
his heart. At this moment a Sharply
driven gig, with a stout man In 1t, sud
denly drew up in front of the gate with
much unexpectedness.
s.It,s Weems himself!'' he exclaimed, In
an underbreath, as he leaped over the
wall.
Then the man in the gig peered around
the edge of the lodge up into the avenue,
when. espying Towns, he called OUT
crufiy an inquiry for the master when
was answered as the similar question
had been answered the moment before.

quick, careless gesture:
Il would like a few words with you, il
you please, ma'am." 44
On the same subject?'' exclaimed Mrs.
Graeme, sarcastically. II decline to
speak with you again."
She hurried across the avenue, and into
the pathway leading toward the cottage,
but, not at all abashed, Mr.. Weems hast
ened to follow her, but she suddenly
turned angrily upon him, and enforced
him to momentary silence by gesture
of disgust.
Cease. sir, and never presume to speak
to me again." she exclaimed. Are you

fused to do for my husband!"
Husband, Ell? Ha. ha, ha. Yes, but

man, with half-insolent laugh.

of the laws of marriage in this kingdom,

She spoke with proud and bitter vehe-
mence, and then passed in through the
little garden gate, at which she had been
standing, and closed it sharply behind
her, leaving Mr.. Weems outside.
''Stopv' he called out, angrily; ARE you

Her only reply to hilr now was con-
