The friends shook hands, and sat down
near the guard-room window, that looked
out on the Sound.
Here they remained talking in low
tones till it was so nearly dark that they
could not see the headland, two miles
away.
what are they building fires along the
shore for?" asked Colin Morton OF the
man who brought in their supper.
"Cause, replied the man, there's nc
lighthouse at this point to guide the
ship"
''What ship?"
'The Arrow, Captain Ford, from New
York. Judge Loring is awfully cut up,
for his daughter is aboard"
The loosened rain poured down in o

abroad, and holding high carnival.

the sea- said Robert Bracebridge, his
mouth close to his friends ear, for the
sound of the tempest was deafenlng
"And it is my opinion that no ship can
survive in this land-locked sea unless she
can find an anchorage"

than a year ago, and the occasion a re

said Colin, with sigh, called up by
many unpleasant memories.
Robert Bracebridge stood up and
opened the window, the better to catch
the glimpses of the storm revealed by
the vivid flashes of lightning, and Colin
stood beside him.
The Sound looked like billy snow
field, so white was it with foam
Through the night the gale increased il
fury. The fires along the shore had beer
long extinguished.
1t was nearing daylight, and the two
friends still stood by the window, one

her storm-sails set, the top masts down

had been blown from the bolts! There
it is again!"
There the ship was, and sweeping head
on for the rocks that marked the pro
longation Of the Fort Clark peninsula.
Signal rockets for relief went up from
the doomed ship. Blue lights were
burned and, by the CHASTITY glare, the
young men could see the forms Of the
paralyzed sailors. And up on the quar-
ter-deck, beside a bearded man who stood
at the helm, they saw two women.
A few moments of intense darkness
with a hush in the storm. And then a
crash and a cry that swept out on the
winds and chilled the heart of the
bravest.

There amt another country on earth
that can show such a total"
But" 1 remarked, "there seems to
be falling off in exports of manufac-
tEres."
Don't you worry about that min
ute," he replied. "The falling off is
IN figures, not in fact. For instance, I
sold nearly $2OOOo,OOO of goods, most
ly manufactures, to Porto Rico and
Hawaii in 1900. Well, I've sold them
considerable more this year, and yet
not dollars worth appears in the re-
ports Then the war in China has cut
off enough to make up the rest of the
difference between this year and last.
And besides all that, there has been a
reduction in prices; so, really, exports
Of manufactures have increased.
"But that amt the whole point,
either I've sold fully 100000, 600
worth of manufacture at home this
last year; so don't worry, my boy,
about an apparent loss of a few mill
ions in foreign sales.''
Does the surplus please you?" I
asked
Its great, isn't it? Kept right up to
the mark and the estimates. And now

viously; but he is too stubborn to
change his fiscal policy, though I ex-
5ect to see him putting up the bars be-
fore long.
Then look at this treasury balance,

I'm to Date at ST. Peters

1t was an innovation, surely, but
most brilliant one, when, not very long
ago. st. Peters was for the first time
in it's history lighted by electricity. The
electricity was generated, says Dona-
hoes Magazine, by the plant in the
Vatican gardens.
The scene was brilliant. The central
point Of the glowing mass of crimson
brocade with which walls and tribunes
were covered, the Papal throne, stood
in the apse. The light Of the pictured
windows above it, with their delicate
colored transparencies, fell upon the
seats reserved for the hierarchy group
ed around the Pontiff, and on the vel
yet-covered turbans of the royal
guests, the diplomatists, the Roman
patriciate, and the dignitaries of the
Papal court.
The apse was one blaze of light, from
the picture of the Holy Trinity framed
in circles of electric light to he rows
upon rows of candles above the mosaic
lettering, and the graceful candelabra
standing on the wind3w corners.
All through the vast church the radi-
ance was continued In thousands Of
candles following the line Of architec-
ture, and rows of lights encircling the
dome, where rosy curtains tempered
the sunlight pouring in through the
window.
Garlands of crystal chandeliers We're

each of which, from apse to door, hung

whole. was gorgeous.

Wooden Dishes We're Thrown

People ate ice cream during the hot
weather. They bought the ice cream in
little wooden dishes. They dropped the
empty dishes. The rain washed the dishes
into the sewers and the sewers clogged

Ice cream dishes were responsible for
the clogged sewers. That is what Street

The reason that ice cream dishes are 50

A NICE COMPLIMENT.
High Standing of Topekans Taking
Government Examinations

VIM. r. Merriam, director of the
twelfth census of the United States,
writes an interesting article appearing
in the Saturday Evening Post for July
q. The article is called AN Expert
ment in Government Patronage"
He refers to the civil service examina-
lions in connection with applicants for
positions on the work of the census. In
this article he pays Topeka and To-
peka people compliment in the fol-
lowing paragraph:
1T was quite noticeable in conduct
ing these examinations that the char
acter and ability of the applicants var
led in different parts OF the country.
One would naturally expect the classi-
cal atmosphere about Harvard uni
versity to be so charged with learning
that a very large proportion Of the can
didates from that immediate vicinity
would be able to pass the simple re-
ouirements of the census Office examina-
ton. But with the exception OF can

FIX UP PEST HOUSE.
That Is Now the Plan of Topeka
Board of Health.

Since the state fair project has been
abandoned said City Physician Judd
today, Z can see no reason why we
should not allow the pest house to re-
main in the fair grounds till it is order
ed out. People out there are not kick
ing about it, and it will be very diff
cult to find a location without encoun-
tering opposition.
DIR. Judd says that he has visited the
pest house site on Deer creek which
was donated to the city. The site is
about half a mile east of the creek. at
the top of a hill. It adjoins the Vine
wood park property, and the owners OF
the park might object seriously to the
location of a pest house so close to
their pleasure resort. Besides, DIR. Judd
thinks that it is too far from town to
be of practical value.
The board of health viii probably
recommend to the council that the
present pest house be put in condition
to take care OF patients during the
coming season. At present It is in bad
sanitary condition. 1t viii have to be
plastered. re-roofed. and equipped with
bath room facilities.

SPRINGS OUT OF PLACE.
Rains Playing Havoc With West
Sixth Pavement.

Wet veal Their is proving disastrous to
the cedar block pavement on West Sixth
avenue The blocks have swelled and in
a great many places have been forced up
six inches or more above the level FORM
ing a sort Of an arch. At some places it
sounds hollow" though vehicles were
going over a bridge, owing to the fact
that the pavement has sprung up out Of
place.
The West Sixth pavement was already
the worst in town and the new LniSfor>
tune has not improved it a bit
The pavement gets a little worse every
time rains fall after dry spell. When
it is dry the blocks contract and allow
a little more dirt to be forced in between
the blocks When the rains come and the
blocks swell the pressure is greater than
it was before. After a time the result is
that the expansion must do one or two
thingS-either break the curb stones or
lift the pavement up out of level. Several
big curb stones cracked through the mid
die and bulged backward. indicate that
the power Of the expanding pavement is
tremendous
The street car company has found great
difficulty in keeping its West Sixth ave-
nue. track in good repair The expansion
and contraction of the pavement push
the rails out of line, making frequent re-
pairs necessary

DRY PLATE TRUST.
One Is Proposed With a Capital
of S3O,OOO,OOO.

St. Louis, No. July 3l-The Post
Dispatch today says that negotiations
for the consolidation of the leading
Photographic dry plate factories of the
United States and Europe, with a. cap
ital Of $50, 900, 600, is pending. Three Of
the companies concerned by the nego-
tiations are st. Louis firms that turn
out so per cent. of the plates used in
the United States These firms are the
G. Cramer Dry Plate company, the NJ
A Seed company and the Hammer
company.
The men who are promoting the con-
S0lidatiOn are George Eastman, of the
Eastman Kodak company, of Roches-
ter. n Y. and Charles Abbott, of the
Aristo Manufacturing company, of
Jamestown, N z They were in st.
Louis last week and conferred with
representatives of the three big local
concerns. Gustave Cramer, president
of the Cramar company, says they
made definite proposition to absorb
his company. The Seed CON pany has
had many propositions for consolda-
ton, taking stock in the consolidated
enterprise in payment for its plant. but
its position is not to lose control of
its business except by sale for cash.
President l. F. Hammer, of the
Hammer company, says that he has
heard talk of a consolidation, but that
nothing definite has been done.
The following statement of the plan
of the proposed consolidation was
made to the Post-Dispatch today by
Mr. Cramer:
Negotiations for a consolidation
have been pending for some time but
until the visit of Messrs Eastman and
Abbott to St Louis last week nothing
definite had been DONE
while the consolidated concern il

troll Of the dry plate output of the
world, I hardly think it viii have the
power to name its own prices if it de-
sires to do so. Many companies will
not be absorbed, and they will turn out
enough plates to keep competition
alive. The proposed capital of the
great company is $50. 600. OO0''
