Jenny Lind's Duet With webster.

Jenny Lind visited Washington during
the winter of 1871 and sang in concert to
a delighted audience. 1t CHANGED that on
the evening of her appearance several
members of the cabinet and senate were
the guests at dinner of Bodisco, the Rus
sian minister, and the concert was half
over when Webster and the other men,
bers of the party entered the hall.
After the applause which greeted their
appearance had subsidized the second part
of the concert was opened by Miss Lind
with Hail, Columbia" Webster. deeply
moved by this patriotic air, arose at the
close of the first verse and added his rich,
sonorous voice to the chorus. Without
avail, his wife. who sat behind him, pull
ed at his coattail to make him sit down
or stop singing. The volunteer basso join
ed in at the close of each verse, and none
could tell whether Lind, Webster or the
audience was most delighted
As the last notes of the song died away
Webster arose, hat in hand, and made a
profound bow to the singer. Jenny Lind,
blushing at the honor, courtesied to the
floor, while the audience applauded to the
echo. Webster, not to be outdone in po-
likeness, bowed again; Lind recourtesied,
the house again applauded and this was
repeated nine Philadelphia Satur-

packet, and the only thing that she could
read was. know all men by these pres

do thing but drop the papers and begin
to cry. The lawyer discreetly got out of
the office and Mr.. Doan stepped over to
the window. The room was still except
for Mary's faint sniffle and the twitter-
ing of a couple of sparrows on a tele-
graph wire in front of the window. The
stiffness seemed to soothe her perturbed
spirit and presently she lifted her face
from her wet handkerchief and glanced
sshyly up at Mr.. Doan. He did not see
her She got up and went over to him,
sobbing a little yet.
Mr.. Doan," she said, putting out her
hand, only one hand, to him, rs it true
that you have given me everything?"

But, Mr.. Doan"- she protested

to me because you do not know this and
hope to win me with it,"
Mr.. Doan choled a little. He had not
heard of this young man. Perhaps if he
had he would have been less generous.
He might have given him position in
his office or helped him along in some 9th
er way. Ii was hardly necessary to i'm
poveriSh himself for the sake of letting
the woman he wanted for his wife marry
another man. But Mr. Doan had the

footsteps. it was evident that one portion
of his frame at least had become ac-
quainted with part of the ritual. The
doctor knew the symptom we'll and
smiled grimly even in his wrath Then
he cleared his throat portentously to blast
the wretch with word. but stopped sud
denly. On the lapel of the canddatc's
coat his eye had caught the pledge button
of his old fraternity-the Gamma Delta.
The professor saw il at the same time
and whisted softly. Then he glanced
around to see if the conductors of the
candidate, whom he knew must be some
where in the neighborhood, were visible.
But those discreet gentlemen plainly con
sidered the time unpropitious for further
ceremonies, and kept themselves hid.
The doctor and the professor looked ut
each other for several seconds in silence.
/ The spirit of the occasion was affecting
them and calling up like memories TO
both. Visions of the time when, 20
years before he himself had been seated
i'll this very house rose before the pro-
/ fcssor. The night was one. reflected the
doctor, similar to that on the momcutous
occasion when he had become Gamma
Delta. Both men knew and appreciated
the feelings of the boy before them rs
well as if they stood in his place. But
their duty must be done. The doctor
stepped forward and laid his hand on
the boys shoulder, who jumped uery-
ously.
Now, this start of the candidates was
evidence of previously we'll conducted
initiation. which broke down the last
scruplcs of the professor Before the
] doctor could utter Il word he stepped
forward and, leading him to 4 little dis
lance, talked earnestly for some minutes
AS he spoke, the doctors expression
changed from one of shocked Indignation
to one of regretful denial, then to a
dreamy and longing look. He shook his
head, first positively. then in an expos
/ tulatory manner, then not at ALL Finally.

James F. Toole, the head clerk of the Tontine hotel, closed deal with Presi- dent Parmalee of the Fair Haven and Westville railroad yesterday afternoon by which lie leased the Momauguin at Cosey Beach for the summer of 1901. MT. Toole said last night that he ex- pected to open the Momauguin about May 15 and that he intended to keep 1t running until the first of October, at least.
 It is understood that several parties were negotiating for the lease of that we'll known summer hostelry. The management this season will doubtless be of the best, for Mr. Toole is an effi- cient business man and his experience at the Tontine hotel makes him a fit person to take the house.
 The place last year was popular and with few more attractions this suni- mer it should prove even more of a success than heretofore. Es

JERSEY CEN7RA1's TROUBLE.
Probability That Conference
 May be Resumed.

New York, April 10.-There is a strong probability that the conference between the employees and officials of the Central Railroad of New Jersey abandoned at the time of the fruitless intervention of the railway brotherhood chiefs may be resumed and it is believed that if the disputants get together in friendly spirit that the possibility of strike on the line will become remote. Some of the more conservative element among the employees have declared openly that they will not vote on the strike proposition until there has been another conference with the officials and those who agree with them are moving for the appointment of joint conference committee that will work with the grievance committee. If the movement is successful it will take shape within the next twenty-four hours.
 John " Waite, representing the en- gineers, and Timothy Shea, represent ing the firemen on the board of cooper ations of the different divisions of the Jersey Central employees, waited on the officials of the company at Jersey City this afternoon with proposals for an- other conference. After some talk it was arranged that they should hold tomorrow morning. This, it is believed, shows that the men do not want a strike.

REOFENED BY GEN. BOIHA
NEGOTIATIONS FOR PEACE AGAIN
 UNDER WAY.
BOer Commander-in-Cnfe Action De- termined in Part by Gen. De Vets Condition Discovered at a Recent Meeting That the Brilliant Guerilla Leader's Intellect Had Weakened.

Cape Town, April 10.-General Botha has reopened negotiations with the British for peace. As explained here, this action was determined in part by General Botha's discovery at a recent meeting that General De Vets intellect had weakened and that his influence with his followers was diminishing, and that continuance of the campaign, in view of General De Vets irresponsible ity, rested with General Botha alone.
 It is understood here that, although General De Wet at his recent interview with General Botha refused to surren- der, General Botha, regarding him as Irresponsible, undertakes to negotiate in behalf of the entire Boer forces The British authorities here consider that if General Botha surrenders De Vets fol- lowing can be easily taken.
 London, April 1.-The report that General Botha has renewed the nego- tiations with Lord Kitchener is not yet officially confirmed, but it is generally credited and received with satisfaction except by the ultra -jingoes, who fear that the government will renew the terms recently rejected.
 Regarding General De Vets mental condition reports have been very con- f1icting for some time. His recent inac- tivity points to there being some truth in the rumors which allege that long continued hardships, under the har- rassing British pursuit, have unhinged his mind.
 On the other hand correspondent of the Times quite recently acknowledged the wonderful foresight and fertility of resource which characterized Gen. eral De Vets retreat from Cape Col ony
 London, April 11.-"It is semi official 1y asserted here," says the Cape Town correspondent of the Daily Telegraph "that General Botha has had another interview with Lord Kitchener in which he informed him that he had seen Gen. era De Wet, who still refused to enter tain the idea of surrender on any terms. General Botha, however, re- gards De Wet as no longer responsible for his actions and seeks a nodus vi- vendi on behalf of all the burgher forces

FRANCO IT.ALTAN FESTIYITIES.
Double Naval Dem monstrntion--Russfan
 Squadron Salutes Loubet.

OOuUlc NaVHl h
 Squadron saIutes Loubet.
 Paris, April 10-The important fes- tivities attending President Loubet's visit to the Riviera were brought to a climax to-day in the double naval dem- onstration at Vile Franche and Toulon Both proved splendid spectacles. The profuse decoration at Toulon, the fio- tillas of pleasure boats fitting about the harbor, the gayly decorated war ships lying in the roadstead and the animation of the immense crowds of strangers jostling one another in the streets and along the wharves impart- ed color and picturesqueness to the scene which out-vied the situation at Vile Franche.
 The French people, however, derived as much pleasure from the incidents at Vile Franche as form the meeting of M. Loubet and the Duke of Genoa at Toulon.
 M. Loubet fully appreciated the value of the French set word ally" in connection with the relations of France to Russia, and he again took an op- portunity to pronounce it on board the Alexander II this morning. When &C., cepting tea from Admiral Birileff, he said: 1T am very much pleased that his majesty, the emperor, has sent a squadron to salute the president of the French republic. I am very grateful for this mark of sympathy; and l raise my glass to the health of their majes- ties, the emperor and empress, and to the friendly and allied Russian nation and to the prosperity of the Russian navy"
 The ceremony of decorating Admiral Birileff with the cross of the legion of honor was performed in the presence of the whole crew. M. Loubet then em- braced the admiral and expressed re- gret that the previously fixed hour for his arrival at Toulon prevented him making a detailed inspection of the Russian flagship.
 All the officers of the flagship were presented to M. Loubet, who shook hands with them all. The Alexander IT was the first to fire parting salute as the St. Louis steamed out of the bay and the crews smanned the Russian warships when the St. Louis passed, shouting seven times "Vive la Repub- lique'' or raising seven hurrahs. Sim ultaneously the trumpets blared and there was a great beating of drums. The general programme at Toulon was carried out without a hitch. The Duke l of Genoa, the Italian officials and sail | ors met with a f1attering welcome, the | French seamen fraternizing with the ! Italians on shore. Every desire was shown on both sides to cultivate mu- [ tual good feeling.
