TO MAKE ANY COMMENT.
When setn at his hotel this afternoon. Ad-
miral Schley stated that he did not care to
make any comment whatever upon the ac-
tion taken by Secretary Long on the niiI-
ings of the Court of Inquiry.
The Admiral said that he would leave
washington on Monday next. for New York
S1ty. where he will remain for an indefinite
period. NessrS Rayner and league of coun.
sci for Admiral Schley were in Baltimore
to-day, and in their absence the Admiral
was not prepared to say whether any FUR
ther action would be taken in his behalf
at the Navy Department or in Congress or
whether an appeal to President Roosevelt
would be made.

uncle to let him even light a cigar
cite in peace, until she had heard all
that there was to hear; in fact, as
soon as he put his key into the door
she few out to meet him. ''Dick, is
it good news?" she cried eagerly.
Now Dick could not honestly say
that it was good news, but then he
did not wish to tell her how bad it
was all at once; SO he gently prevari-
Gated, kissed her with even more than
his usual tenderness, and asked her if
she had been very dull without him
and whether he had been too long
away.
His well-meaning prevarication had
exactly the opposite effect to that
which he had intended. Dorothy's SEN
sitive heart went down to zero at
once, and the corners of her sweet lips
dropped ominously. ooh, Dick, it is
bad news" she said, mournfully, "and
you are trying to hide it from me-
''No, no, am not he said, hurried
ly, "but there's no need to tell all our
private affairs out here for everybody
to hear"
"But there isn't any everybody" said
Dorothy; there's only Barbara" !.
In spite of his anxiety Dick burst out
laughing. Come in here, my darling"
he said, drawing her toward the draw
ing-room; land you shall give me a
cup of tea while tell you all about
it,"
"And you've not promised to go?"
she, asked as shei began to make the
tea. ''No, don't trouble, Dick, dear, it
is lighted, and the water will boil in
two minutes"

course, had to tell him you were dew

"But I'm not devilish anxious for the
appointment" Dick broke in at last.
I'm not anxious for it at ALL"
For a minute or two the old man
locked at him in profound amazement.

all the trouble I've taken for you?

his mind, but
'Then what do you mean, sir?" roar
ed the old man, losing his temper al
together.
|, II mean this said Dick, firmly; "up
to now I have, as you know, always
set my face against going to India. I
hate and loathe the very idea of it.
England is good enough for me, and
went into the Forty-third on purpose
that might not have to go to India,
or lose a lot of seniority. What I
want to know is this: What has made
you take lot of trouble, and put your
self under an obligation to Lord Skew
versleigh, in order to bring about what
you know would be utterly distasteful
to me?"
Lord Aylmer looked at Dick as If
words had failed him, but presently
he found his tongue and used it free
ly. "Damme, SIR he reared, ~do you
mean to accuse me of any sneaking,
secondhand motives? Pom my soul,
sir. I've a good mind to write to Lord
Skevversleigh and ask him to consid-
er the appointment refused. But say"
as he saw by Dicks face that this
would be the most desirable course he
could take, II will do no such thing.
Damme, sir, I've had about enough OF
your airs and graces. Hark you, and
mark what l say! To India you 20,
without another word; or l cut off
your allowance from this day week,
every penny of it. AS you yourself said
just now, go TO lot OF trouble for
you, put myself under great obliga-
tion to a friend in order to serve you,
and all the return I get for it is that
you get on your high horse and ac-
cuse me Of secondhand motives.
Damme, sir, it's intolera bic simply
intolerable. And suppose you think
I don't know why you want to shirk
a year Or two in India, eh?"
Il don't understand you, sir" said
Dick, with icy civility
mo, no, of course not. And you
think didn't see you the other night
at the Criterion, and hopping your
eyes over David GarriclS' afterward.
Bah! you must think I'm fool.''
For moment Dick was startled, but
he did not show it by his manner in
the least. "Well, sir" he said quietly.

THE EAST GAINS.
Causes of Changes in Population During
re 5 n DecaAe f.& gs

Causes of Changes in Population During
q Decade.
In summing up the results of the
last census DR.. Albert Shaw says in
the Review of Reviews: "The period
from 1870 to 1880 was marked by the
great development in population Of the
rich wheat and corn lands that were
still open to settlement under the
Homestead and Presumption laws in
Minnesota, Iowa, Western Missouri and
contiguous regions. In the period from
1880 to 1890 there was a rush still
further west into the Dakotas,, Mon
tana, the Puget Sound country, west
ern Nebraska and Kansas, Colorado
and southern California. The period
just ended, from 1890 to 1900, has been
especially marked by the growth of
manufacturing population in the older
states. Thus New Jerseys gain of
80 per cent has been principally due to
the growth of manufacturing towns
and Of the Jersey suburbs of New
York city. New York's gain Of more
than 20 per cent is accounted for large
ly by the growth Of the great metropo-
lis at the eastern end of the state, and
Of Buffalo and it's commercial and in
dustrial environs at the western end
Northern New England has gained
very little, and would have lost decid-
eddy but for the immigration of French
Canadians and others. Massachusetts
has gained about Is per cent, which is
evidence enough that her manufacture
ing prosperity is not a thing Of the
past. The gain Of little Rhode Island
in ten years has amounted to twice
the population Of the state Of Nevada.
Connecticut has now 908.00O people,
and has gained 10000 in ten years.
This growth, like that Of Rhode Island
and Massachusetts, is due to manufac-
turing progress. There would seem no
reason in the nature of things why lit
tie Delaware should not have more
people than little Rhode Island; yet
Delaware has not quite $4,000, while
Rhode Island has more than 42S, 900.
Manufacturers make the difference"

brick building, with a slightly tilted

ment or break. It is oblong, with
small, sixteen light windows, and is
divided into three entries, with eight
rooms in an entry. The rooms are so
arranged that big square studies are in
the front Of the building, and from
these two rooms bedrooms open run

the entries the rooms have light on

that have made the place a favorite for

A NOVEL HEN PARTY.

Each Guest Brought as Contribution
q Real Live Chicken.
The Boston Traveller tells Of a new
kind of hen party that has found favor
in that city. It bears no resemblance
to the time honored idea that tea and
chitchat, gossip and smart hats, con-
stitute the necessary adjuncts to these
particular gatherings. The interest
centers about a real live hen Of feath-
ers, her chicks and her eggs. The
party originated in this fashion: a
young bride and groom took a house
in the suburbs and went to housekeep-
ing. A mischievous friend called to
see them and discovered on the prem
Uses a deserted hennery, which sug-
gested an idea to his fertile brain.
He at once communicated his idea to
other friends, who arranged secretly
for genuine hen party. On a pleas
ant day the invited guests met at the
railway station and proceeded In q
body to- the new home. Each one car
ried a live hen, chick or a dozen
eggs for matching purposes. The scene
which occurred when thirty-six guests
arrived with thirty-six installments
for the hennery was decidedly e ludi-,
Scrous. When the little hostess recov-
erred breath she produced her chocolate
cups and tea biscuits and the groom
showed himself a man OF resources by
