Here is a story told by Professor Bar
rctt Wendell about DIR. William Ever
EFT: The latter was going out to
Brocktor one night to deliver an adj
dress and ran across Mr.. Wendell in
the Old Park square station. Come
along. Wendell" he said. IL am going
out to Brockton to speak and | want
some one respectable TO sit on the plat
form with me-" So the professor went
along.
When Everett arose TO speak, the
ball, which was n large one, was only
passably well filed, and even the COM
parativcly small number present began
TO grow smaller as one by one people
slipped away. Mr. Wendell began to
think that Rrockton must be a singu-
larly cold hearted place when sudden
~ he noticed people coming in by twos
and threcs and silently taking seats
wherever they could find them. Soon
the hall was full. with standing room
only. but still they came till the alsles

tutor to the son OF a noblcman and
had not long taken orders when he

the parish In which the nobleman's
seat was situated.
The father OF his pupil was patron OF
the living and was also present mt the
funeral OF the deceased rector. There
was a young clergyman present also
whose grief was so demonstrative that
the noble patron was much affected by
the sight and asked II the young man
was a son of the deceased gentleman.
"Oh. dear, no. my lord-no relation at
all" said the tutor.
"No relationr' exclaimed the noble
man In a surprised tone.
None. my lord; he is the curatc. and

Since this time last year about
twenty brick store houses have
been built in Ardmore. A number
of nice dwellings have been erect.

small living houses. There are a
number of strangers in the city now
who are wanting to rent houses
with from four to six rooms, but
they are not TO be had. This pre-
sents a good field for men with
capital to make paying invest
ments. The probability is there
will be an influx of people here
this fall who want to engage in

A BUNCO GANG.
Smith" of Texas Beat Bar. ey Boyce
of Denver.

Denver Aug. %. Barney Boyce
the manager of the Gavin gamb
ling houses in Denver was buncoed
out of $2250 Monday night.
Nothing is known about the man
who got the money except that he
went by the name of Smith and
that he said he came from Texas.
Smith came to Denver about q
month ago and has been spending
money in the gambling houses.
He cashed several checks, hut al
ways played in luck and took them
up himself. Last week he was
between three and four thousand
dollars winner.
Barney Boyce sent TO Kansas
City for some poker players who
are to 90 to any part Of the coun.
try, as they are wanted. The
poker experts arrived here and
were introduced to Smith, aud it
was not long before they were all
closcted in a poker room run by
Boyce.
For four days the men played,
and the reports that came out were
to the effect that the men from
Kansas City knew what they came
for.
Monday Smith needed money,
and Boyce cashed drafts for him
amounting to $2250 Since Mon
day neither Smith nor the men
from Kansas City, who are be-
lieved to be his confederates, have
been seen, and the drafts when pre-.
sented at the bank, were turned
back as worthless. Detectives are
working on the case, but no ar.
rests have been made.

HAGUE TAKES UP BoER WAR.

Result of Recent Visit of Queen Will
heImina to Emperor of Germany.
Berlin, June 1.-THE Kleines Jour.
nal yesterday printed dispatch from
The Hague saying that Queen Wilhel-
minas recent visit here was meant to
obtain Emperor Williams consent to
end the South African war, beth the
zweibund and the dreibund being will
ing to do so, through The Hague ar
bitration court, and that the emperor
consented and the court began work
thereon. The dispatch has created
sensation here.
The Associated Press has just OBJ
tanned the following foreign office
statement which is authorized by
Count Won Buelow, the imperial chan
cellor:
Neither Great Britain France nor Rus
sia ever approached Germany to participate
In any action aiming at ending the South
African war. Germany has all along dis
tinguished between offering her good Of
fees and intervention. To render her good
offices would be possible il both parties
to the war requested it, but it will be re-
membered that Great Britain only joined
The Hague conference on condition that
the Boer states were excluded. There is
no doubt that Mr.. Kruger, who iG q serious
statesman, came to Europe to obtain the
good offices Of several of the powers to end
the war, but there is also no doubt that
Great Britain does not want their good Of
fees. AT least. 1t is true that since the
South African war began Great Britain has
never, either verbally or in whiting, conf
dentally or officially broached such an idea.
1t is quite possible that the Boer side has
now formally asked The Hague arbitration
court to lend its aid to end the war some
how and that the court has held session
regarding the matter. but that, Of course
Is entirely different from any serious, steps

COUPLE END LlFE's CARES.
l.. Hartman and Wife Found Dead In
BED at CHICAGO Hotel.

Chicago, June 11.-Side by side,
each with Il bullet wound in the tenn
pie, the bodies of L. Hartman and his
wife were found dead in bed at the
Great Northern last evening. The
room showed no signs of struggle.
Both lifeless forms were composed
and the covering of the bed was we'll
tucked about them, but the revolver
clutched in the right hand of the hus-
band told the story of the double
tragedy.
Of the pair that courted death so
successfully nothing is known by the
manager of the hotel beyond report
that the man has wealthy connections
in New York and that the woman ap-
parently was once an actress under
the stage name of Rose Violette.
From information given by woman
who inquired for them this morning,
it is supposed that tho case is one of
runaway marriage with death as the
result of despondency over the OBJ
duracy of an unforgving father.
