FoIIy's Fire.

BY ELIZABETH CHERRY WALTZ.
Copyright, 1901, by Daily Story Pub Coz
The old grandmother was dead and
the baby, Angela, had followed her. as
II the loving creature had beckoned to
her from heaven. The winter had been
long; the debts heavy and work scarce.
Aurelia, with feverish eyes and scar
let lips, had sewed and toiled. Law
renee, her husband. was sullen and
discouraged. His tasks were irksome
and to him there seemed little COM
fort at home His trembling hands
and shifting glances begged pitifully
for change, relief Of mind and
body.
In the spring news came to Aurelia
OF the death of her grandmother S
brother, wealthy bachelor. He had
"llled the grandmother some money,
and 1t fell to Aurelia as her heir.
When she heard of it she went to
Lawrence at the forge and sat down
on the bench near him: 1t was a long
time since she had sat there-almost a
year.
THAT money is coming to me, Law
renee"
"Well?"
Il have been counting on what I'd
oo. I'm going to give you five hun
ored dollars for granny's keep
i grudged her nothing" hes said
doggedly.

bonds are held mostly at home. The
Japanese are the best agriculturists in
the world and every available inch of
their soil is cultivated, but they have
very little capital. The fact that for
eigners cannot own land in Japan dis
courages foreign capital from coming
in, and this must be changed. For,
instance, as the law now stands the
bondholders of a railroad could not
foreclose in case of default. Just now
new taxes have been levied on sugar
and certain other articles, and enor-
nous quantities of sugar were brought
in before the tax went into effect.
This is lying in the custom houses be-
cause the importer cannot raise money
to get it out.
There is great fear Of revolt in
China because the people, of whom
there are 35O,00O.000 contained in 20
provinces, have lost faith in their rul-
ers, and one should not be surprised
by hearing that the Emperor or En-
press had been assassinated. Not
withstanding these deplorable circum-
stances China offers large field for
enterprise and investment
With all the ground possibilities of
the far East, nothing would induce
quicker and more satisfactory develop
ment of it's resources than the adop.
ton of American methods of transpor-
tation. banking facilities, hotels and
houses.

FEROCIOUS

Lib Vincent, one Of Wyoming's old

these wolf leaders is slain or crippled
his band at once amalgamates with
some other troop possessing a leader
OF like capacity. The age or size of
their quarry is of little moment with
these wolves, as they pull down and
devour alike cows, calves, steers,
mares, colts, and geldings. Their at
tack is always strategical and system

The cattle herds are open and easy

frequently beat off the wolves by

Robert Lebaudy, who is one of the
largest landowners in France and who
has investments in industries in vari-
GUS parts Of the world, has returned
from a trip on the new Trans-Siberian
railway across Siberia, where he went
for the purpose of familiarizing him
self with conditions in the far east.
He said in part that all of the Trans

the exception of the East Chinese road,

and Pekin. This part of the road is
being built under a separate cOnces-
sion.
Siberia is magnificent country, full
of resources and possibilities. Natur-
ally one would think that there is
much snow in Siberia, but, although
the cold is intense, there is little snow.
Many immigrants are settling in
that country, but Siberia is SO vast that
it will be many years before it be-
comes settled. The immigrants con-
sist mainly of the poorest Russian
classes, who lack to great degree that
energy which is characteristic of sue
cessful people, and in consequence it
will be long while before Siberia's
resources of coal, iron and marble will
be developed.

WANT TWO SEATS.
Bayonne Democrats to Ask
Leader Davis for an Ex-
ira Assemblyman.

Mr.. Robert Davis was the guest of
honor yesterday of the Bayonne City
Democratic Association. There was a de-
lightful sail on a steamboat, plenty of
good things aboard and altogether the
outing was of the pleasantest possible
character.
Mr.. Davis was shown a statement
credited to him that the Ohio platform
had been endorsed by ex-senator James
Smith, who declared that the State Demo-
cratic party would have to build one like
it and that he Mr.. Davis said it suited
him, too.
Nothing of the kind" said Mr.. Davis,
ST never said that"
What do you think of the Ohio plat
form?' Mr.. Davis was asked.
'Oh. it's good enough I daresay," he
replied. add that the weather was too
warm to talk about politics.
Naturally politics were discussed at the
outing yesterday and Bayonnes end in
the coming campaign was put forward
Some politicians down there think Bay
onne is not properly represented in the
Assembly. They should have, they
think. two instead of one Assemblyman
and there will be later a petition to that
effect sent to Mr.. Davis for his sanction.

De MATTED SENTENCED.
Jury Wanted to Be Merciful
But Made Queer Mis-
take.

Thomas De Matteo, the IS year old
Italian boy who was recently convicted
of atrocious assault in connection with
the killing of Young Warren Monroe, a
colored boy, was yesterday sentenced to
Judge Blair to four years in State Prison.
Lawyer Joseph NJ. Noonan, who repre-
sented De Matto asked the court to post
pone sentence to enable him to investi-
gate the circumstances attending the as
sault of his client on one of the States
witnesses.
Judge Blair denied the request
A strange feature in connection with
the conviction of De Matteo was the mis-
take made by the Jury in returning its
verdict. 1t was the intention of this body
to make the punishment as ligh- as pos
sible and so verdict of atrocious as
sault-the second count IN the indictment
for maaslaughter-was returned. The
penalty for the main count is ten years
Imprisonment and $1,000 fine, while for
atrocious assault it is twelve years and
$4,000 fine.
