AN IMPARTIAL WOMAN.
Buried Two Husbands and Would Not Be Laid Beside Either One
 Herself.

E. f f "This is the grave of the most inn partial woman, ,on record, said the 1 guide in Cave Hi1l cemetery to . party who visited the beautiful cemetery the other day, says the Louisville Courier Journal. Away over that second knoll there is lot containing only two graves, and the, headstone of each is marked Father
 The woman who is buried here was married twice, and the two graves in that lot are the graves of her two hus- bands. She tried her best to treat her second husband as she did the first, and even when be died she had no idea of showing any preference. But she was sick when the funeral service of her second husband was held. She di- rected that the partner of her second matrimonial venture be laid by the side of the first, but that enough space be left to bury her between the two.
 By some hook or crook, mistake was made, and when she visited the cemetery she found that they were buried side by side, with no space De- tween.
 Well, sir, she didn't know what to do. Argued that if she should be buried by the side of her first husband 1t would not be fair to the memory of her last spouse, and vice versa. What did she do? Why, when she died she left request that she be buried in another lot, away from both of them. And it was needed"

These arrangements make permanent through connections between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans; and, with the great future de- velopment of commerce with the Ori7 ent, where two-thirds of the worlds population is to be found, not to speak of our own growth. the Pacific coast and its connecting roads are sure to be an important factor. Our shrewdest railroad managers apprecfa% the great ness of such opportunities, and are ac- lively preparing to secure their share of this new commerce and its demands upon American industries and capital.

a wornan,s way.

There is an amusing story of Mrs. Blank, wife of one of New York's fa- nous merchants; and her private bank account. She started an account of her own at the time when ladies' de- partment was established in the Sec ond national bank by Joseph s. Case, its paying teller, now its cashier. In less than no time Mrs. Blank had checked out about $250 more than her balance, and the bank dutifully notified her millionaire husband, who carried balance of $4o,0oo there. "You must teach my wife a esson," he said. Send her notice of overdraft, and demand an immediate adjustment" A messenger politely explained the trouble to madam, who graciously turned to her escretoire and wrote out check for the amount overdrawn, which she gave to him with regrets at having been so negligent. At the bank it was general ly agreed that the joke was on MT. Blank, who made good.-N. r. Press.

In an article in the coming issue of Leslie's Weekly, Gen. Frederick D. Grant will say that the value of the Philippines to the United States can- not be overestimated.
 Tt will," Gen. Grant says, increase with the development of the islands and the growth of our trade with Asia. It is greatest, therefore, from 3 commercial standpoint, but it is re- markable also as strategic basis in time of war.

The Boxers are still causing consid- erable anxiety in some parts of China. Pictorial Boxer placards are being sold at many of the markets. One is sheet IA by 24 inches in size, portray ing, in red, yellow and green, the con- quests of the Boxers over the foreign CTS. It is entitled "The Rampage of the Five Foreign (Powers) in China" The central figure is foreign house of impossible architecture, which is being set on fire by flames from the finger tips of young girls labeled Bright Red Lanterns" On the other side of the doomed structure Is snake or dragonc called Fire God" Below is the Golden Bell" under which the Boxers are crawling to secure inyis- ibility, and at the bottom five unfor- tunate foreigners are being done to death with pike and sword.

 in the tariff contest which has been started. in advance of the meeting of congress, by the announcement of an extra session or the Porto Rican legis- lature to enact memorial to the presi- dent showing the revenues from in- ternal taxation to be sufficient to meet the expenses of the government and asking that he issue q proclamation de- claring free trade between Porto Rico and the United States. as provided by the Foraker act. The carrying out of, the Foraker act is compulsory on the. president when he is convinced that the island has enough revenue. but he may, if so disposed. be hard to acon- vince" that the revenues of the island exclusive of tariff duties win be suf- ficient. That is why there is con- test. It is being fought over Porto Rico, because of the fear of the sugar and tobacco interests that free trade with Porto Rico will only be an enter ing wedge, to be followed with free trade with all the rest of our island possessions. Even if the opponents of free trade with Porto Rico succeed in getting the president to decline to issue the proclamation, they would only post pone free trade with Porto Rico a few months, as the Foraker act provides that all the duties imposed thereby shall be abolished March 1, 1902. They know that, and are making tne fight for the purpose of getting the question agitated by the time congress assem- bles; and they doubtless entertain the hope that if they can get the president to withhold his proclamation, they can get the Foraker act amended before next March.

FRANCO TURKISH CRISIS.

So serious is the situation outlined by
the latest cablegrams concerning the
Franco Turkish crises that the appre .
hension of a sudden outbreak of war be-
tween the two countries has a founda-
ton more substantial than war tremors
usually boast.
The French Government is said to
have sent Admiral Gaillard's squadron
to sea under instructions TO seize Tur-
kish port, presumably that of Smyrna,
which Is the most exposed on the Med
iterranean, and appropriate the customs
revenues to meet Turkeys obligations
to France. The Sultan, we are inform
ed, has resolved not to submit TO the
demands of France, mines are being
placed in the Dardenelles and orders
haye been issued for the instant mob
IlIzation of two Turkish army corps.
All this looks very much as If war is inn
minent.

Miss Barry's Recital.

A rare treat was afforded intellec.
tual people Monday night by the reci-
tations and representations of Miss
Barry. She is, without question, one
OF the very best elecutionists who has
ever visited our State. Her selections
were from Barrie, Field, Hugo, Riley
and Browning, affording an am
pie scope to display her versatile
genius. One of the spectators said:
L" Miss Barry, can never forgive you
for the exquisite torture and delight
you afforded me-the transition in
the same piece from tears to uncon.
trollable laughter. You know such
contrasts leave one with the impress
sion that a master hand has been
ruthlessly toying with ones heart
strings. Miss Barry's success,
aside from her splendid voice, modu-
lated by cultivation, is owing to the
fact that she does not overdo her sub.
ject. Her recitations are simply the
outpourIngs of nature, without the
slightest apparent attempt to improve
upon the conception of the author.
Very few public elocutionists possess
this reserve power, and when it is de.
veloped constitutes charm which
captivates the heart much more eff.
fectively than rant may dominate rea.

lady on with the most perfect conf
dence that she will please others az

THE steamship Charles d. Lane was
wrecked on Nunivak Island, on the
northern coast, July 18th. She had
left Nome on the preceding day, with
the schooner Mega in tow. Although
the latter likewise struck on the rock
and was damaged, but after repairs
performed important service in rescue
of the passengers and crew. After
eight days of drifting, boat with six
men was dispatched for assistance, at
Nome, thought to be about IS miles
miles distant. The Vega was later
towed in by the Barbara Hernator.
