| the election of officers, and from the read
| ing of the notice there had been previous
meetings. The name OF this organization
was the Potomac Fire Company, and its
location was Greenleaf Point, in the vicin-
| ity of the arsenal grounds. 1t will be seen
from the list of the members that though
the company was not a large one it was
composed of excellent material The presi-
dent was Commodore John Rodgers who
had already placed his name high among
the heroes developed by the service. and
was most popular citizen, the representa-
tive OF his section In the councils of the
city. as well as a large property holder and
the owner OF the row of buildings on
street near AZ street, facing the arsenal
grounds; Thomas Dougherty. a well-known
government clerk and member OF the
beard Of aldermen. and Richard Bland Lee,
prominent member of the bar who then
lived in the building In which Thomas
Law resided prior to 1900, at the corner
of 9th and N streets southwest, were the
vice presidents. Thos. Bulfnch, the we'll
known architect. was the treasurer, and
A. Macrea, secretary
The membership was organized in seven
divisions Engineers. nine men; hosemen,
six: lanemen four; laddermen, nine; ak
men, six; furniture men, five, and sentinels,
five. DR. Richmond Johnson. a leading ply
sician and alderman, resigned his member

This question receives an interest ing answer in the latest edition of De Mortillet's Origin and Antiquity of Man." The total number of years elapsed since, according to geological evidence, men first appeared upon the earth is placed at 23s,O00. Of this 7s,OOO years belong to the preglacial epoch, 100000 to the glacial, 44,O00 years to the interval between the glacial epoch and the protohis- toric and Neolithic 10000 years to the two last-named epochs, and 6,OOO years to the time since the beginning of the historic period in Egypt.

those brass blowers at che COnServa- toire-was not prudent In promising her hand to one so brutal whom she detests. Indeed, she detests him as much as she loves another, if l am at all learned in those plain avowals of reticence and embarrassment. Who is the happy mortal? l am ignorant, but it is certainly true that she is well worthy of the one whom she has chosen. Good, sweet, beautiful, loving Nicette merits an ideal husband. An! she is just the wife I should have .f-. It is infamous to force, to degrade the life of such treasure with such a brute. Why should I not be the chevalier of Nicette? It is said that tomorrow morning-to-morrow it will be too late. l must act now. It is little unreasonable to call, but when I am told that 1 will die in five hours I care little for such conyentionalities. Come! My life for Nicette!"
 It was four a. m. when Anatole rang the bell at the door of the guardian of Nicette. NJ. Bouvard himself came to the door in his night cap, and very much frightened.
 "Am l right in supposing you have caused me this inconvenience to com municate some thing of importance to me?"
 "Very important, NJ. Bouvard. It is that l wish you to renounce the mar riage of my little cousin Nicette to NJ. Capdenac."
 "Never! monsieur. Never!"
 "It is not necessary to say never nor always" r
 "Monsieur, my resolution is made, the marriage will take place."
 Tt will not!"
 "We shall see! And now that you have my answer, I will not detain you"
 ''This is little more amiable. am right if little tenacious. I am not offended at your actions and I re- main."
 Remain if you wish. I consider you as having gone, and speak no more." And NJ. Bouvard turned away grumbling.
 All at once Nj. Bouvard leaped for his bed
 Anatole had secured the professors trombone, upon which he blew vio- lent blast loud and deafening. It sounded as if the inferno had broken loose.
 My trombone of honor presented by my pupils! Put down the instru- ment, monsieur!"
 Monsieur, you consider mo as one gone. l consider you as one absent and am amusing myself until you re- turn. Hein! fine motel"
 "You will have me put out. My landlord will not tolerate the trom- bone for minute!"
 'M. Capdenac is terrible man! If l insult him thus, he will kill mel"
 "Is this the only reason?"
 Tt is the reason above all others" :"In that case leave it to me; swear to me that if I obtain the consent of M. Capdenac my cousin shall be free"
 "Yes, monsieur, she shall be free"
 "Bravo! l have your word of honor You will permit me to retire. Apropos, where does NJ. Capdenac live?"
 "One hundred Rue des Deux-Epees."
 "I run at once. Au revoir."
 Bah! You run to throw yourself into the mouth of the lion and you will receive the lesson you merit"
 Meanwhile, Anatole ran to the ad- dress given him. When he arrived it was six o'clock a. m.
 "Who comes?" said deep voice.
 "Open. A communication of i'm. pOrtance from M. Bouvard."
 The walls of the antechamber ap- peared to vanish under the numerous accouterments. In the little room where Capdenac received his visitor

| Tn pleasant mood. Front by 1t. Do you know that have fought 20 times, and that have had the misfortune to kill five of my adversaries and to wound IS others? Go! I pity your youth. Once more, go!" | "I know" said Anatole, "of your reputation and that you are an adver- sary worthy of me, and my desire is to measure swords with so redoubt- able an adversary. Will you take the two swords from the mantle? or the sabers? or the cuirassiers weapons What do you say to these curved yata. gans? You have not decided? What will you do?
 "I like your bravery. Do you wish me to acknowledge something?"

 twill you write and sign your de. cision?"
 q have such admiration for you that can refuse you nothing"
 Supplied with the precious paper Anatole ran to the house of M. Bou. yard. He arrived at the door at eight a. m.
 "Who is thers?"
 "Anatole."
 M. Bouvard opened it. Anatole de. livered the paper to him, and cried as he ran to the door:
 Cousin, rise and dress quickly and come here!"
 Almost instantly Nioetts appeared as fresh as Aurora.
 What is it?"
 "It is that your cousin is mad!" said M. Bouvard.
 "Mad!" cried Anatole, "but, remem- Der, Nicette, that my madness is for good to you. This night, my little cousin, 1 have obtained two things: M Capdenac has renounced your hand and your excellent guardian consents that you shall marry the one you love-"
 Truly? My guardian, you wish that marry Anatole?"
 "Hein?" said Anatole, in amazement. "It is you love, my cousin"
 At this moment Anatole felt his heart palpitate violently. Was it the pleasure caused by this unexpected avowal of Nicette? Was it the an. guish predicted by the doctor? Was it death?
 Taking feverishly the hands of Mi cette, he told her all; the letter he re- ceived, the flower he inhaled, the prog nostication of his old friend, the will he wrote, the measures taken and the success obtained.
 And now that have perfected all, I must die!"
 But it is not possible!" said Nicette. "The physician is deceived. Who is he?"
 "A man who is never deceived, Mi cette. Dr. Bardais."
 "Bardais! Bardais!" cried Bouvard. suddenly, beginning to laugh. Listen while I read my journal: The learned Dr. Bardais has unexpectedly become afflicted with mental malady. The madness is an attack of scientific char acter. All know the doctor was occu- pied especially with diseases relative to venomous substances and the effect of poisons. He believed finally that all whom he met were poisoned and tried to persuade them to this belief. He has been transported this night to the maison du docteur Blanche or home for the insane.'"
 The two young people embraced each other ardently.-Radford Review.

The States Finances.

The net amount Of the State revenues
for the fiscal year ended November 80,
1900, as shown by the last annual report
Of State Treasurer James Il. Barnett, was
si4, 4,2sg, ,s2O.O5, an increase Of S2,Oj9, ,352.75
on the gross receipts for 1889. Colonel
Barnett estimates the State revenues for
the current fiscal year at sl9, 9,jl9,s7j and
the payments at 2,6si, $3.50, which is
exclusive ofany sum which may be ap-
propriated to complete the capitol.
In submitting these figures to Governor
Stone the State treasurer says the busi-
ness Of the department has felt the pros
porous condition Of the country and that
the Commonwealth is able to meet its OBJ
legations promptly and without any en-
barras5meut.

total revenue Tor each Of the next two

THE Island of Panay is pacifed, ac.
cording to the latest advices. All the
insurgents in that part of the Philippines
appear TO have laid down their arms. Not
much of the insurrection seems to be LETT
in Luzon either, and Luzon was the head
quarters and distributing center Of Agui-
naldism. The troops who have been in the
Philippines for the past two years are re-
turning home, aud others are taking
their places. The new soldiers are likely
to have very little campaigning. This is
satisfactory to the country. The islands
will have to be garrisoned by a large
force for a year or two yet, but the end Of
the rebellion has virtually been reached.
If Aguinaldo is alive he could come into
the American lines without attracting
any particular attention. He no longer
possesses power to do any harm to the
United States.

Mistaken Charity.

It isa hard matter TO refuse man a
quarter who SAYS he is hungry and wants
to buy food But if the man be healthy,
and has brought destitution upon him.
self by vicious habits, he deserves to suf-
fer the natural penalty-deprivation and
which gives to the man who has the
meauness and ellrontry TO presume to
prey upon the industry Of others. 1t is
unjust; because it encourages idleness
and vagrancy. Oar charity should be
extended TO the deserving. five fail to
discriminate between the poverty which
is the result of misfortune and the pow
erty which comes from vice and idleness
we are committing a crime against the
deserving. There are thousands of in
cideutS where men and women are max
ing the most heroic efforts TO support a
family OF children in the midst OF ar al
most overwhelming tide of misfortunes,
and who have too much respect to ask
for assistance. These are constantly be-
ing neglected, ana our sympathles vast
ed upon the impudent and shameless
beggar who prides himself on his ability
to live without industry. When a healthy
tramp calls at your back door and asks
for "haud out,n as he calls it, your
natural impulse is 10 give, because il
seems inhuman to permit a man to 60
hungry. You forget that he deserves 10
90 hungry, and that his hunger should
drive him to some form of useful indus
try instead Of driving him to your back
door. He has no right TO expect to live
upon your industry. There are fhous-
dnds of opportunities to be charitable
without encouraging vice and idleness,
and you should not satisfy your charit-
able instincts by wasting them upon the
uudeserving and neglecting the worthy.

MANY of the men who are at the front
in Cnban affairs seem to think their isl.
and owes nothing to the United States.
An acknowledgment of gratitude or any
sort of concession to the Americans they
say, would "endanger the sovereignty of
their republic" Who gave them the
chance to organize a republic? If the
United states had not intervened in the
spring Of 1898 the rebellion would have
been suppressed by the end OF that year.
Instead of having Gen. Wood for Gov
erhor they would have Weyler, with all
the disastrous consequences to them
selves that Weylers victory would bring
to them. The antics Of the men like
Cisneros and the rest of the Yankee-hat-
ers in the island give some color Of truth
to the assertion Of Many Englishmen,
Frenchmen, Germans and other foreign
ers that the Cubans do not know the
meaning Of rational freedom, and do not
deserve it.

APopular Vote for Senator.

II is useless for the Legislature of
Pennsylvanie to pass resolutions in iav-
or Of a popular vote for United States
Senator, The Republican organization
is committed to the reform, our State
| conventions have iudorsed it and if this
State could bring it about there would
be constitutional amendment But it
is helpless. The Senate of the United
States shows no signs ofpaying attention
to petitions. To secure popular vote
will require organization.
1t would seem as if the Senate had had
enough lessons of late regarding the in
adequacy Of the present system. Della
ware is now without a member of the
Senate. Montana has just managed to
pull through on the last day Of the ses-
sion by taking up person who had not
been seriously thought Of Nebraska is
in deadlock with two regular vacancies
to fill, both of which should be filled by
Republicans. Senator Allen, populist, is
temporarily occupying one of the seats to
which he was appointed by the Governor
and which he will continue to occupy
until the Legislature elects, There are
only few more days of the Nebraska
Legislative session, and it would not be
surprising if there should be no election.
Oregon has got through long struggle,
while the history of Pennsylvania is still
fresh. one would naturally think that
the Senate would welcome constitu-
tional amendment providing for a popu-
lar vote, but not so. The Senate is very
conservative. Anything like change ap-
pals it. Consequently, ifit is to act at
all it must be forced by the States.
And how can that be donog Easily.
Here is the Constitutional provision;
The Congress, whenever two-thirds OF
| both fouseS shall deem it necessary, shall
propose amendments to this Constitution,
| or, on the application of the Legislatures
of two-thirds of the several States, shall
call a convention for proposing amend
| ments.
When this has been done the ratitica-
ton of the amendments by two-thirds of
the States makes the amendment valid.
1t is apparent that the only way by
which popular vote is To be had is to Sc
sure conc 3rled action by the various Leg
islatures. The sporadic passage Of reso-
lutionS will have no effect. There must
bea strong organization ofNational scope,
which will submit a draft OF an applica-
ton to each Legislature and work for its
adoption. If there is any other way to
accomplish the purpose we do not know
what it is, for the Senate itself won't
bulge. .--PhiiG. Inquirer.
