Miss Agnes Pepplier has gone to Eu-
rope for at least a year. She will
travel In Touraine and Brittany for the
summer. In the autumn she will go to
Italy and spend the winter in Rome.
She goes for a holiday rather than for
work, but will keep up her various
series of essays which are appearing in
American publications. Her latest book
THE Ffreside Sphinx" has gone through
four impressions since last fall.
Audrey" the title and the name of
the heorine of Mary Johnston's latest
novel, has curiously interesting word
history. By a process of pronunciation
and elisfon which only the English are
capable of, it comes from the name
Etheldrida. In Saxon times the Feast
of Saint Etheldrida, or Saint Audrey,
was held every year in the Isle Ely on
the 18th of October. At this fair all the
country side gathered and bought cheap
f1nery, necklaces, and all the little knick-
knacks characteristic of such occasions
These came to be called St.-Audreys,
which was soon shortened to tawdries
from which comes the word tawdry.

AT DEATHS DOOR.
The Presidents Oldest Son is III
with Double Pneumonia and
Nav not Recover.

Groton, Mass, Feb. 10-TheodoHe
Roosevelt jr. the Oldest son of President
Roosevelt, has double pneumonia.
Otherwise his condition is unchanged to-
night. The boy is seriously sick, but it
is too early to say what the chances are
for his recovery. This was the state
ment issued by George B. Cortelyou,
secretary to the president, at o'clock,
and it was made after a careful examina-
tion by DR.. Alexander Lamber., the fatn-
lily physician Of President Roosevelt,
who arrived here from New York at
o'clock tonight.
President and Mrs. Roosevelt spent a
long anxious day in the infirmary, wait
ing the crisis of the disease which this
morning appeared to have taken a strong
hold on their son. The change for the
worse in the boys condition occurred
during the night and showed itself when
the regular morning examination was
made by DR.. Sh attuck and DR.. Warren.
Secretary Cortelyou. who is the only
means OF communication with the sick
room, made the announcement this
morning of the patients serious oondi-
ton, although he said then that it was
not alarming.
"His temperature is higher" said Mr..
Cortelyou, land his respiration is weak
er than yesterday, but his pulse is bet
ter"
He also said there was no immediate
danger; only the natural progress Of the
disease. He announced that the disease
had spread and involved both lungs
This sudden and unfavofable turn
warned the president that the most skill
full medical treatment was necessary,
and tonight he called to the aid OF Dire.
Snuttuck and Warren his family physi-
clan, DR.. Alexander Lambert OF New
York, an eminent practitioner and man
well acquainted with the boys physique.
The decision to call DR.. Lambert WAS
made after a consultation OF the phyai-
clans aud the president.
The bulletin issued from the sick room
at ii o'clock pm stated that the pa
tient's condition was unchanged. The
president spent the entire evening in the
infrmary The condition of young Pot
ter and Gammell WAS said to be much
improved tonight.

RAILROAD MUST PAY
Court Of Appeals Holds that Rio
Grande is Responsible and
Must Pay for Fire.

Denver, Feb. 10-The court OF appeals
today rendered a decision against the
Denver & Rio Grande road for property
destroyed in the big Colorado Springs
fire, in which the Antlers hotel was burn
ed in October of 1898.
Presiding Judge Adalr Wilson has CIV
en- an opinion as eainst the railroad COM
pany by which that corporation must
pay all of the losses in the fire. This
opinion reverses the finding of the dis
trict court OF Ell Paso county in which
Judge Rucker ordered verdict ior the
railroad company.
The point of law on which the decision
hinges involves the right of the insur
ance company to recover from the com
pany whatever sum it may have had to
pay on policies held.
The court Of appeals overturned all
this declaring that under the plain stat
utes the tariff has a right to recover On
showing that the raiEoad caused the Gre
and that the insurance company has q
right to sue and recover whatever
nuouut tue uro Coss, IL WAS dibO ublu
by the court today that if the fire was
caused by the defendants negligence it
need not be proven absolutely that the
dre could not havs originated in any
other manner.
A spark from Denver & Rio Grande
engine set fire to pile OF debris under a
depot platform. The platform set fire
to carload Of dynamite. This kept the
firemen at bay until the flames had
spread beyond control, The loss sggre-
gated 100000 and suits have already
been filed against the railroad company
for about 100000 Unless settled by
the railroad company these suits will
be pushed. The case is remanded for
trial, but the opinion handed down to-
day is said to preclude the possibility OF
the railroad winning on any Of the
grounds on which it has been fghtipg g
the case.

1t is said through press dispatches
that Mrs. Walsh, wife OF the Camp Bird

No Claims for DAMAGES.

1t has been decided by Attorney Cen
eral Post that Williem Radcliffe, owner
of the fish hatchsries at the Mesa Lakes
which were destroyed by FIRE, as it has
been proved that the people had cause
to feel unkindly toward Radcliffe, and
as the guilty parties could not be cap
turned, Radcliffe can make no claim
against the government.
1t is said that il the matter is pushed
by Lord Poncefote, the British ambassa.
dor, that it will be proved by the state
time OF the destruction of his property,
he was not British subject, having ap-
piled for citizenship in the United States
and received his first papers from this
government.
People here will remember the trouble
caused by the burning Of the dsh hatch
cries at the Mesa Lakes and how every
effort was made at the time to appre-
hend the guilty parties, but without
success. There was very little sympathy
with Radcliffe in the loss Of his property.

THE MOORISH CITY OF FEE.
Its Narrow streets Where the sun
Never shines and Its Filthy
"Riycr of Pearls"

The sun never touches the ground in
FeZ, except in n few isolated spaces,
owing to the narrow streets, the
height of houses and the habit of
stretching trelliscs covered with vines
across from side to side The conse-
quence is, says the Detroit Free Press,
that its naturally dark-skinned citi-
zens, being rarely exposed to the full
light of day, have compilations resem-
bling partially decomposed potato
sprouts in "A dark cellar. The so-called
streets run in straight lines the en-
tire length of the town, and are all
paved with round stones the size Of Co
coanuts, worn smooth by the tread of
generations Of slippered feet As these
lanes are never swept, and every
householder throws his slops and ref
use out of doors, one must pick his
way with exceeding care.

THE CALENDAR CUSTOM.
Giving of Them as Holiday GIFTS, an
Ancient Custom That Is Grow
ing In Popularity.

The custom of giving calendars at
the holiday season seems to be rapid
ly extending, says the Philadelphia
Telegraph, and the gifts are made each
year more ornate and expensive.
Although thus becoming known to an
widening circle of giyers and re-
celvers the custom is by no means a
new one. 1t was known to the Greeks
and the Romans as early as the second
century of our era. the primitive al
manacs made by the sCribes Of Alex
apdria being offered. with other costly
gifts, to rulers and great parsonage s..
One of the first uses of the art of print
ing was to issue an almanac or cal
endar, called the Kalendarium Novum,
at Buda, in Hungary, in the year 1875,
1t was a costly publication, ten crowns,
gold, beingpaid for single copy, which
served as a gift 10 King Matthias. The
almanac displaced the calendar after
the invention Of printing, but the
monthly record Of days as we now
know ii was received in the eighteenth
century, and has gradually attained in
dependent Importance. II may fairly
be said that the printed calendars have
never been SO beautiful as those is
sued for this year.

The baby member of the house is
Representative Lever, of South Caro-

looks 20. He was private secretary
of the late Representative Stokes, and
when the latter died was voted by a
grateful constituency into the va
cant seat, states the Washington
Post.

Kennedy, assistant doorkeeper, warns
all persons not entitled to the floor
to vacate, the rules of the house re-

kennedy saw a small boy sitting at a
desk and coolly disregarding the Off
cial summons to retire. He threw
his piping, penetrating voice in the
direction of the lad, but without eff
feet. On the third day Kennedy told
his troubles to Amos Cummings.
'If that boy don't get out of here
before - o'clock I'll throw him out"
said Kennedy.
What boy?" asked Cummings.
Sitting over there" replied Ken
nedy, pointing in Levers direction.
Il wouldn't throw him out" said
Cummings.
"Why not?" inquired Kennedy.
Because" remarked Cummings,
you might lose your job. He's a
member of the house."
Kennedy didn't say a word, and
representative Lever remained mdis-
turbed.
