This story by James o. G. Duffy. opens
in southern California, and shifts success
sively 10 San Francisco, New York and
Europe. 1t deals with the heart and life ex-
periences OF a woman who, when a mere
girl, was betrayed by man several years
her senior. a teacher and preacher, and
who. remorseful and repentant, made pub
lie confession of her sin. Although she IS
pure in heart and life her one early sin
pursues her and blights her life for many
years till finally time brings vindication and
retribution, and her really noble character
is placed in its true light. The story ends
happily. II is skillfully told, well written
and interesting all the way through. Phila-

Mr.. Payne, of New York, when he de-
clared in the Republican caucus of the
House that he hoped Congress had heard
the last of expositions, expressed a
very general sentiment. When the st.
Louis exposition is provided for, let Con-
gress go out of the business. There are
several expositions mentioned to celebrate
this or that event which would not be
thought of if it were not easier than it once
was to get a large appropriation from
Congress. Not only are large appropriations
obtained from Congress, but States are in
duced to make considerable expenditures
in order to keep up with the procession. In
1875. when Congress was asked for small
appropriation to aid the Philadelphia CEN
tennial. it was voted with a proviso that
the money be refunded, and a part if not
all was refunded If Congress will impose
similar policy toward the expositions
springing UP here and there, there will be
fewer of them. These remarks do not ap-
ply to the st. Louis fair. but to all after it.
