question of ought, but it does.'
anyone might care for would not
regard my position" said Barbara,
stoutly.
Nevertheless, Barbara, you know
as well as anyone that because you
are hired>girl in Mrs. Wards house
you do not have the place in society
that you would have if you taught
school in Crawford. Why, even in the
church it is clearly fact that you
cannot get the recognition that you
would get if you were doing something
else. Don't you yourself see that
plainly enough?"
Barbara was silent. She was going
over in memory the last few Sundays
at Marble Square church. Since that
first Sunday when she had gone with
Mrs. Ward she had been every week
except one. She would have been a
very stupid girl if she had not noticed
the difference between her reception
by different ladies in the church and
that given other young women. A
few women to whom Mrs. Ward had
warmly introduced her had treated
her in every respect like anyone else,
with neither patronizing nor hypo-
critical manner.
She had beenF invited into Bible
class by the superintendent of the
Sunday-school, and had been well
coined without any notice taken of her
position; but, as the weeks went by,
she was simply ignored by the major
ity of people to whom Mrs. Ward had
introduced her. One invitation from
warm-hearted member of the class
she had accepted, to take tea at her
house; but her reception by other
young ladies who met her there was
not such as to encourage her to go
again.
AS far as the church was concerned,
she found herself simply passed by.
tempt of her. There was simply an
ignoring of her as part of the Mar
bic Square congregation. For various
reasons she had not yet gone to the
Endeavor society. tt met on Sunday
night before the preaching service,
and so far she had reserved her Sun
day nights as sacred to her mother,
who did not feel able to go out.
81 acknowledge what you say about
the church, mother. But I may be
partly to blame for it myself. don't
think the best people in Marble Square
church think any the less of me for
working as a servant"
Maybe not, and yet even the best
people are almost unconsciously in
fuenced by social habits and tradi-
tons. Why, even the minister is in
fiuenced by them. This new young
man, Mr.-Mr.-what is his name ?"

but her mother did not notice, as her
eyes were very poor at night.
"This Mr.. Morton, according to Mrs.
Vane, is remarkably good and sem

House Vote to Prohibit Their Sale In
the Capitol Building-Immigra-
tion Bill Passed.

Washington, May 2s.-The house on
Tuesday passed the Shattuc immigra-
tion bill. The feature of the day was
lively debate on the question of pro-
hibitingl the sale of Intoxicating
liquors at immigrant stations. 1t was
precipitated by an amendment offered
by Mr.. Bowersock (Kan.) to prohibit
such sale, which was carried, SO to IS.
Mr.. lands Qnd.) followed this victory
with an amendment to prohibit the
sale of intoxicants in the capitol, and
it prevailed by a still larger majority
los to 10.
The bill brings together into one
act all the scattered legislation here
tofore enacted in regard to the immi-
grafton of aliens into the United
States, arranges it in sequence, ETC.,
eliminates what has become obsolete
by reason of subsequent legislation,
amends some Of the administrative
features and also adds some provisions
to the general laws and others made
necessary by the extension of the ter
ritorial limits of the United States.
Among the more important changes
are those increasing the head tax on
aliens coming into the United States
by land transportation from one dollar
to $1.50; adding to the excluded classes
epileptics. persons who have been in
sane within five years, anarchists, or
persons who advocate the overthrow
of government by force, prostitutes
and procurers (whose importation is
now a felony, but whose entry is not
prohibited); broadening the word
contract" in the contract labor law
to include "offer, solicitation or prom
ise;" providing for the fine of steam
ship companies which receive at the
port of departure aliens afflicted with
loathsome or contagious disease, in
stead of providing, as now, for their
deportation on arrival here; extending
the time within which an alien who
becomes public charge may be de-
ported from one to two years, and
providing that immigrants over IS
years old should be able to read in
some language.

FRENCH DELEGATES LEAVE.
warship GauIois, with Members of

for Home.

Boston, June 2.--The sentiments of
gratitude felt by the members of the
mission delegated by the president of
France to come to America to attend
the unwilling at Washington of the
statue of Count de Rochambeau found
final expression Sunday afternoon on
the battleship Gaulois, which con-
veyed the mission to this country, and
which late in the afternoon, left for
Lisbon, whence it will go to France.
A dinner was served on the battleship
Gaulois, attended by the special repre-
sentatives of President Roosevelt, rep
reseutatives of the state of Massachu-
sets and the city of Boston, the men,
bers of the French embassy at Wash.
ington and the members of the Roch-
ambeau mission.

harbor, accompanied by the battleship
Kearsarge and the cruiser Olympia.
she fired the national salute of 81 guns,
which was returned by the Olympia.
Then, at Boston Light, where the es-
corting squadron took leave of the
French man-of-war. the same cruiser
fired a salute Of II guns in honor of
Gen. Brugere, and then salute of Is
guns in honor of Vice Admiral Four
nier.
The condition Of Maj. Berthelot. the
aide de camp to Gen. Brugere, who had
his leg fractured at the Charlestown
navy yard, was much improved. He re-
turned to France on the Gaulois.

REACHES pELEE's TOP.
4 French Professor, MID Mach Dam
ger, Takes observations Of
the Crater.

Fort de France, June 2.-The Ma
tionas Geographic society has scored
a great triumph. Prof. Angelo He'll
prin assembled to the top of the crater
of Mont Pelee Sunday morning, in COM
pany of two guides and Mr.. Leadbet-
ter. While on the summit several vio-
lent explosions occurred, but, notwith-
standing the thousand dangers sur
rounding him, Prof. Heilprin spent
long time taking careful observations.
Looking down the crater. he found
huge cinder cone. The crater opening
is vast crevasse 500 feet long and $50
feet wide. While engaged in this task
the lives of the members of the expe-
dition were continually in danger, and
one particularly violent explosion COW
erd Prof. Heilprin from head to foot
with the viscid matter. He persisted,
however, and found. as had been sus-
pected, that there were three separate
vents for the volcanic matter.
Meanwhile, Mont Pelee, seeming to
resent the intrusion of man into her
awful territory, belched out huge vol
umes of steam. ashes and boiling hot
mud. Prof. Heilprin made the i'm
portant discovery that the crater OF
Fallaise has an eruption at the same
time as the summit crater, and elects
precisely the same matter. Both
craters showed new phenomenon dur
ing the professors visit. when mud
was thrown up in high columns, while
heretofore the mud has dubbed or
boiled out and flowed down in huge
streams. There is reason to fear that
great damage may result from the out
bursts of this mud to the rich planta-
tions still uninjured. The ascent was
made on mules to an altitude OF 700
meters, the line of ancient vegetation.
There, leaving the mule that had car
ried him, the professor proceeded on
foot to the site of Lake Palmiste. He
found the lake completely dried up,
and crossed the bed, passing up slope
to the crater's edge. This, which had
formerly been high bluff, Prof. He'll
prin found had fallen into the crater.
This expedition is the first important
verified Topographic alteration noted.
Prof. Heilprin remained at the sum-
NIT crater over two hours.
