sCHLEY's ACCUSATION.
May Charge MutilatiOu Of Depart.
ment Records.

Washington, Aug. 25.-Vague hints
were dropped at the navy department
that serious charges will be made on
behalf of Rear Admiral Schley that
some one in the department has mu-
tilated the records, that letters have
disappeared, and that pages out OF the
letter press copy books have disap-
peared. Owing to the stringent orders
issued by the department against as
cussion of the Schley case 1t is impos-
sible to get accurate statements ON
this point. 1t is also intimated that
has been impossible to procure doeu-
mentary evidence to support Schiey
contentious from the war department.

He was not well for many weeks after
his arrival. He did not actually keep
his room; the earl, who was tender
enough and anxious enough where his
cousin was concerned, had ordered two
of the largest, lightest and most cheer
full apartments in the castle to be pre-
be prepared for him, and Lady Cara
ven was only too anxious to arrange
everything most luxuriously for him.
More than once. when she came to
read to him, always bringing with her
sweetest flowers and choicest fruits, he
had noticed that her face was pale and
her eyes were heavy with weeping.
Once, as she bent over him to show him
the lovely bloom on peach, he said to
her:
"Hildred. do you spend the whole
night in tears?"
"-ometimes.' she replied; "but, Ra-
oul, do not talk to me about It'll would
rather speak on any other subject than
myself"
He respected her wish.

Stories of Mark Twain's London ex-

Clemens was kept waiting for a solid

Strange Ideas of ECONOMY, Poiitene.s

Strange Ideas of ECONOMY, Politeness
and Gratitude.
Tie spirit of economy In the Chinese
race transCends all that can be- lmag-
ined. The smallest particle of matter
is utilized The old, cast-off account
book of the merchant is cut into pieces
and oiled to serve instead OF glass i'm
windows or lanterns. A coolie who
has a six hours march with heavy
burden will return to his point of de-
parture without having broken his fast,
in order to save the two cents his
breakfast would have cost away from
home. Nothing is more curious than to-
see them eat, although, with their ia
nous chop-sticks, they do not perform
all the wonderful feats generally sup
posed. They put their food In bowls
or Saucers and with the chopsticks
they raise the pieces of meat or fish to
the mouth with sufficient grace. Each
has a bowl of rice, which he holds
near his lips, and with the aid of the
chopsticks he pushes the contents into
his mouth. 1t Is curious to see them
pick up with their chopsticks the grains
of rice that fall on the ground. The
children are taught this art from their
earliest years; nothing must be lost,
not even the smallest grain.
Europeans regard politeness as an ex-
preston of those qualities of the heart
which render the person who desires
IN no nnlifn a IN
whom he is thrown. The Chinese look
upon the matter from an entirely diff
ferent standpoint The same senti>
ment which accords importance to the
preservation of dignity regulates his
actions as regards politeness Here Is
an example of their pollteness Chi

A wealthy and cultured American,

Obeying Orders.

Gen. Harvey was an officer of the old
school, strict disciplinarian who took
no excuses for hesitation in Obeying
orders. When he was on his way to
Mexico, when the United States was
at war with that country, he engaged
teams to transport the baggage. and
placed In charge of them Texan nam
ed Carter. The streams were all up,
and Carter had much trouble but
whenever he tried to modify the gen

A party of Americans touring In
Mexico recently accomplished the I'M
usual feat of ascending to the edge OF
the crater of Mount Popocatapetl, the
famous volcano of the North American
continent. A member of the party In
describing the trip says the crater Is

to see. "a huge and gloomy pit 1t is,
he says, "its steep sides emitting sui
phurous smoke and fumes, and Its per-
pendicular walls descending, 1t Is said,

The tendency to bring producer and
consumer together and eliminate mid
dlemen has manifested itself in An ar
rangement whereby the sale of cotton
and wool will be put in the bands of
organizations formed of cotton and
wool growers. This movement has not
attracted much attention because the
capital involved is small as compared
with that of many of the great manu-

In as great a change in business meth
