and jewels, the bride of the millionaire looked worn, and restless, and un- happy, and that the beauty which had bachelorhood was speedily vanishing beneath that look of care.
 Suddenly the door of an opposite box opened; tall, handsome young man entered, leading a lovely creature, dressed in bridal white. Her golden hair was drawn away from her fair, low brow and oval face, caught by a circlet of pearls, and left to ripple over her shoulders ill a profusion of large, soft curls. Her large, blue eyes were always shyly seeking the face of her husband to droop before his fond, ad- miring gaze. The pair were so young. so happy, so evidently and honestly in love with each other that every glass in the house was turned that way the women envying the bride, the men the bridegroom, and some, in deed, among the latter, not scrupling to say so openly.
 Mrs. Burton looked also, and the iron entered her soul at the sight of her old lover, so fully enraptured with the beauty of his young wife that he did not even know, or care, that she was in the house.
 Old Burton looked. too, and sighed as he marked the shy yet clinging af- lection betrayed by the lovely bride Not in that way had his beautiful wife ever looked on him since the day when she promised to be hisi
 "So romantic. isn't it?" said Gar rison Palmer, who had accompanied the il1-matched couple to the opera. He was disinherited by his Uncle Stephen, and all the money left to that girl, who was a distant relative of both. And George Howard went east on business, saw her, fell in love with her, and married her, and never knew; that she was the heiress of his lost fortune till month after the wedding day. It is like the things one reads in novel. But you don't expect to see those things in real life, do you, dear Georgina?"
 Mrs. Burton shook her head. She could not have spoken. Tn that one moment of supreme emotion her re- jected loyer-had he cared to know it. was most bitterly avenged!-N. Y. Weekly.

THE FILIPINO POLICE
Native Force in the Philippines
 Rendering Efficient Service.
Reports Received Show That It 1s Becoming an Important Factor in Restoring Good Order and Dis
 cipline in Many Localities.

The insular division of the war de- partment is in receipt of report for warded by Gen. MacArthur from Ma nila, P. l., showing the condition and results achieved by the native po- lice," for the months of April and May, 1901. It shows the force to be in high state of improvement, and the plan, at first regarded as an ex- pertinent, is fast becoming an impor- tant factor in restoring good order and discipline in localities which for years before and since the war have been regarded as unsafe for both men and property. Gems. Wheaton, J. H. Smith, Funston, Grant, Bates, Wade. and Sumner speak highly of the efti- ciency and loyalty of the police, par ticular reference being made to their capture of bands of insurgents.
 This native police is purely local in it's character. It is supported by the towns and provinces, assisted by the insular government.
 There is another body of men em- ployed in the islands known as the scouts" This body is generally mounted, and it's duties are to patrol the territory outside of local govern ments and not directly under the pro- tection of local police. The scouts" are paid directly from insular funds, and such being the nature of their employment they are frequently called upon to and do materially as- sist the local organizations in pre- serving the peace, and pursuing and capturing marauding bands if dis covered. A portion of these forces is called ''Macabebe scouts. These were organized from the Macabebe, at the town of Macabebe, by Maj. Bat son, under orders from Gen. Lawton, just before his last northern cam paign, in which he broke up the in- surgent army. They rendered con- spicuous aid, and the success of their employment was immediately fol- lowed by the organization by Gen. Lawton, about the same time of Capt. Castner's ''Tugalo scouts," which rem dered such signal service in the north ern campaign. These scouts, though not regularly enlisted into the serv- ice of the United States, take an oath of allegiance. They have a military organization, and receive about the same nominal pay as regularly en- listed men and noncommissioned ofh- cers, except that it is paid in silver.

shies at the Ice Habit.

To American visitors, of whom there are thousands in London now, Brit ish holiday is seriously impaired for lack of ice, which is as commonly used as salt on the other side. English householders neglect ice to stupid degree, and attempts to popularize it's sale in small quantities for dome stic use have failed in past summers. There is talk of trying again this year among the poor of the East end as well as the rich in the West. The saving in food would more than pay the price. For the cooling of offices electric fans are coming into use in London, only 15 years after America. These devices decidedly make for comfort at work, and ought to be made cheaper without delay by increasing demand,

THE WHISTLER.

xou'd oughter to hear him whistle once,
 That long-legged boy O mine; He was the ornarest ga1oOt
 Of the whole kit of nine. His mother had 1t in for him
 To be preacher chap. Because he hadn't sense enough
 To earn his daily pap. But one night when we sat around
 An all was kinder still An peaceful an the harvest moon
 Was cIimbin' OCT the hill. There come a strRggler up the road
 Among the moonbeams white A-whistliR' every tune on earth
 With all his main an might. He did a stunt of ras-tims tunes.
 Then patriotic airs. Like '"Tenting on the Old Camp Ground"
 Or How Soldier Fares" And then, to show what he could do,
 He'd jump to old Ben Bolt.' An when he'd whistled that all through,
 On Belle Malone" took hold. Next Listen to the Mockin' Bird"
 That was the sweetest toot; Twas just as ef each note was drawn
 From out silver flute But when he struck Through Georgia" knew the whistlin' limb Purtenoin to be some one else
 Was our old trifiin' Jim An now he doesn't do thing,
 But earn his daily wage By dressin' up in fancy clothes

Has Vast Nile Project.

Sir William Garstin, under secretary of the public works of the Egyptian government, has submitted to the British imperial government gigan- tic engineering project, which, with the existing dams and irrigation canals, would enable the River Nile to be kept in constant flow and make of the whole vast Nile basin the rich est agricultural area in the world, regularly raising two crops every year.
 The scheme is to raise the level of Lake Tsana, which lies high on the Abyssinian plateau, five meters. By this means 132 trillion million cubic meters of water could be stored for the dry season. The assent of King Menelik is necessary to this work, which Lord Cromer does not deem inn possible to obtain, even in the face of strong Franco-Russian opposition.

Miss Gray, in an icy tone. "I have not been trained or e1rcased to become poor mans wife. Luxury is essential to my happiness. If should be fool ish enough to marry you in your pres ent circumstances, we should both be wretched in a month. Nothing will induce me to so sacrifice myself"
 "Ohi" said Howard, drawing nearer, "you have heard of my uncle's will"
 "I have"
 'When-how-who told you the news?" he asked.
 Louise Palmer told me yesterday Afternoon"
 "As you were going to the park to meet me-" he said, quietly. She did not deny it.
 "And has she said nothing more to you since?"
 'I have not seen her since. I have seen no one"
 Except MT. Burton" said Howard, laughing. ..Well, he is happy man. He has no uncle to disinherit him. Farewell, Miss Gray. Before long I shall feel even more grateful to you than I do now; for am ld-fashioned enough to wish to marry wife who will love me, and not my bank ac- count"
 He bowed low and left her.
 As the door closed behind him she realized for one brief moment what she was losing.

 And as he went down the street she consoled herself by a dream of the future, seen in the depths of her bril- liant engagement ring.
 Six months after, Mrs. Burton sat in her private box at the opera, with her aged husband by her side. She was glorious with jewels, and her dress was an exact copy of one which a famous French beauty had worn on similar occasion not long before.

TIE MARYLIND CENSUS FRA UDS.
 The report that there have been census frauds in Maryland is mildly in terestlng. The charge is that the su- parvisor of the census for the third Maryland district appointed at the re- quest of Congressman s. F. Mudd, con- sented 10 fraudulent returns from three counties in the district for the purpose of increasing their represen- tation in the State legislature. An eX- animation of the returns of one of the onumerators revealed 52S population which could not be accounted for, and four enumerators and a political lead CT have been indicted for conspiracy to make fraudulent returns of population. The National Civil Service Reform League thinks that if the enumerators had been appointed from an eligible list nothing Of this kind would have happened.
 Perhaps it wouldn't have happened if civil service enumerators had been ap- pointed and if there had been no poli- t'cans

1 ULY GLORLOUS DAY.

It is the unexpected that happens
 People went to bed Wednesday night
 with the expectation of enjoying one of
 the most gloriously hot Fourths that
 have ever been. They got up yester-
 day morning to enjoy day that was 80 gloriously comfortable compared with what had been that they were greatly surprised, as we'll as greatly soothed and sustained It is very fortunate that such day came along. If there had been a continuous performance of the weather that has been so deadly, ful showing, for people were very tired and anxious.
 The chief weather sharp, Professor Willis l.. Moore, head of the United States Weather Bureau, was warmly criticised for an alleged prediction on Tuesday that we should probably have a continuance of the intense heat with out break for month. 1t was urged, and with much force, that he had no right to scare and depress people who were already scared and depressed enough. He certinly would have had no right to make such a definite pre- diction without knowing what he was about. The result has shown that he couldn't see what was going to happen this week any better than he could see what was going to happen last Inau- guration Day, when the finest of weather for President Mckinley and the admlring and enthusiastic Wash ington crowds was predicted. He now denies that he made such prediction as that attributed to him Tuesday. We are glad he didn't. The head of the United States Weather Bureau ought to manage to prophecy so as to secure at least as good a reputation as Pro- lessor Horace l.. Johnson.

OMINOUS.

| There Is more testimony to the effect l that the situation in China is still dan | gerous. George Lynch, a war corre- | spondent who was in China during the l cle that there will be a renewal of hos tile demonstrations against foreigners as soon as the foreign troops are with
 drawn. MT. Lynch states that circu-
 lars have been sent to all quarters of
 the empire asserting that the with
 drawal of European troops is due to
 the demands of the imperial govern
 ment, which gave the foreign devils
 one month to leave or be swept into the sea-" MT. Lynch mainta tains that, what
 ever Europe may think to the contrary,
 the Boxers are a genuinely patriotic
 organization, who have the welfare of their country at heart and who are de- termined to be free of foreign domlna- tion. If the Chinese are really of the opinion that the foreign troops are be- ing withdrawn at the demand of the imperial government the crusade of the allies has been dismal failure. A Pe- kin dispatch reports the growth of an organization called the Society of AL lied Villagers" which will resist the collection of taxes for indemnity to na- tive converts to Christianty The Allied Villagers" contend that the losses which they suffered through the depredations of Christian armies" ex- ceed any injury which the native con- verts may have sustained at the hands of the Boxers.
 If it turns out that the combined powers haven't been a match for the willy Chinese it will be interesting.
