ton Of "dissolving views" The bride, be-
ing very pretty, attracted the attention
of stylish-looking city gentlement who
happened to occupy the same seat with
the happy pair. During the exhibition
the part of the hall occupied by the au-

During the darkness the young man from
the city pressed the hand of the bride.
She was much alarmed, but offered no
resistance. Then he actually leaned over
and kissed her. This was too much, and
the wife resolved to tell her husband.
"John."

If it can be proved that the mine dis
aster at Coal Creek, Tennessee, was
caused by an inflow of gas from all

ally cut into from a lateral shaft in the
Inflated Fraterville mine, somebody will
be chargeable with negligence in not
making assurance doubly sure that the
gas from the old diggings was complete

Stripes are more in evidence than figures.
SO far the narrow four-in-hand is most in
vogue.
From the East come the new walking
boo. These, too, are made square. like
carpenters rules, and are suggestive of
Japanese prints. The handle is a slight
shepherd crook. These sticks are made
in Japan and Ceylon, and have been
brought here within the last few. years
by travellers, but they have never come
in general use until this spring. They
are very light, are quite an improvement
on the ordinary walking stick, and are
yet quite strong.-New York Sun.

the witness.
Colonel Peter c. Haines, an engineer
and member of the isthmian canal COM
mission, said that neither the Panama
nor the Nicaragua route combines all
the advantages, put that each presents
some good points. The Panama route,
for instance, was shorter, while the
Nicaragua route was more desirable
from a sanitary point Of view. Upon
the whole, he said, he favored the Pam
anna route as combining more advan-
tages than any other He thought, he
said, that the engineering difficulties
could, with the building of the Bohio
dam on the Panama route, be overcome,
but he admitted that some problems
would result in that connection which
never have been solved.

question, that if the proffer of the
Panama Canal Company to dispose Of
the property to the United States for
SAC, 900, 900 had been made before the
report of the commission recommend
ing the Nicaragua route was made, he

REPLY TO scHLEYs APPEAL
President viii Announce His Conclusions in
Few Days.

Washington, Feb. 17.-0ne of the
principal subjects discussed at the cab
met meeting today was the reply which
the president will make to the appeal
Of Admiral Schley. The president has
given good deal of attention to the
matter, and it is understood that in
the course of a few days, probably by
the middle of the week, he viii be
ready to announce his conclusions.
The president outlined his views Of
the Schley case by reading his first
draft of his decision. Some modifica-
tions we're made in it today, and in
view Of the fact that it is subject to
further, and possibly important changes
in text, members of the cabinet back
their indisposition to discuss it by the
assertion that it is unsafe at this time
to predict what its exact effect will be.
1t is a long document, and one Of its
features is the clear and concise presen-
tation of the facts regarding the Santi-
ago fight as given the president by
the captains engaged in that battle,
who recently were summoned to the
White House to confer with him. The
decision is couehed in the presidents Is
usual vigorous tone.
