In it was a young Chinaman about Is

business with the undertaking method

ordinary Chinese laundryman to me,

A Wet Country.

The railroad which, with its
branches, connects Colombo, the cap
ital of Ceylon, with the interior of tho
island, is remarkable for the engineer
ing skill shown in its construction, and
for it's prosperity. 1t makes an ascent
of thirty-fve hundred feet by a sue
cession of loops and curves, with here
and there tunnel. The chief difficult
ty In running the railroad Is due to the
way in which the rain comes down. A
recent book of travel, "a Run Round
the Empire" describes what the rain
did to train crawling up the noun
tainside. On December 81, 1896, eleven
and a half inches Of rain fell in twen-
ty-four hours. The engineer of train
saw that beyond certain tunnel tue
line was washed away. He stopped the
train, and the passengers got out. One
OF them, seeing stones rolling down
the mountainside above them, advised
the engineer to push for the tunnel.

she asked.
"You had better tell him the truth.

"Yes," she replied, mechanically.

Goodbye"
She raised her dark, sad eyes to his
face; all the love, the passion, the re-
greet that she could not put into words,
was revealed in them.
Goodbye" she repeated.
He did not hold out his hand to her.
Had he been speaking to the merest
stranger, his voice could not have been
colder Or more stern. Then he turned
quickly away, and Lady Caraven walk

quite mechanically She had to go to
Worseley, to take ticket to London,
and then go to her fathers house. She
repeated the words over and over again
to herself, like a child who breads for
getting lesson. Her face was deadly
pale; her limbs trenlbled with cold.
The golden stars shone down upon her;
the night winds whispered round her.
She walked on, unconscious of it all.
1T was the early dawn of morning
when she reached the station-a large
railway junction where she was both
unknown and unnoticed. The train
started for London in half an
hour. No one spoke to her or appear
ed to see her as she took her place, and
IN few minutes more she was on her
way.
1t was hard punishment-terribly
hard for such tritle, she thought, won

she was tired, fatigued with passion
and emotion. She had neither eaten,
drank nor slept since the evening be-
fore. When she reached London she
asked porter to call cab for her,
and gave the address-"Mr. Ransome,
the Hollies, Kew" and the drive
thither seemed to her more than ever
like a dream.

SAN FRANCISco'S MYSTERY.
C. b. HadIey, Missing Since Jan. 10,
Declared to Be the Murderer OF
Nora Fuller.

C. d. HadIey, Missing Since Jan. 10,
Declared to Be the Murderer OF
Nora Fuller.
San Francisco, April 19.--Chief of Po-
lice Whitman officially announced to-
day that the murderer of Nora Fuller
was a. B. Hadley, for fourteen years
accountant in the business Office of a
San Francisco newspaper. On Jan. is.
the day of the disappearance of Nora
Fuller, c. B. Hadley disappeared and
has not been seen since. Theodore
Kilkai, the handwriting expert, de-
clares that the man who wrote the
name Charles B. Hawkins" to the adj
vertisement Turing Nora Fuller to her
death was e. b. Hadley.
Nora Fuller, a 16-year-old girl, left
her home on Jan. 16 to answer an ad-
vertisement for a nurse girl. A month
later her nude body was found in a
vacant house on Suter street. She had
been murdered.
His PnrnmOur Gives Him Away.
Miss Clara Dixon has made a state
ment to the police which apparently
proves conclusively that Hadley killed
Nora Fuller. Hadley and Miss Dixon
lived together. and in her statement
she says that she saw Hadley for the
last time on the morning on Jan. 16.
On the day of his disappearance Miss
Dixon was preparing a bundle of wash
ing for the laundry when she found
several of Hadleys undergarments
stained with blood. These garments
the woman burned. Miss Dixon ex-
planned that after Hadley's disappear
ance she burned some of his clothes
and gave other articles to her brother
in-law. She explained her peculiar ac-
tons by saying that the Nora Fuller
stories had frightened her, and she
admitted to the police that she sus-
pected Hadley of having had some
connection with the crime, although
friends, to whom she expressed her
fears, rediculed the idea.
Miss Dixon said that the handker-
chief found in the room where Nora
Fuller's body was discovered was sim
liar to some owned by Hadley. She
positively identified certain writings of
the man Hawkins as being Hadley's
handwriting. Miss Dixon states that
Iladley was the possessor of false
moustaches and boards.

RECIPROCITY URGED
TRADE EXPANSION DISCUSSED BY
BANKERS CLUB.
PRESIDENT INGALLS, PLAN.
LOWRY PAINTS GLOWING PICTURE
OF SOUTH.

President Ingalls, of the Big Four
Railroad Outlined His Plan TO
Continue Tarif Wall Against
Europe and Capture Trade of
South America and West Indies by
Giving Them Free Trade--Must
Adopt Some of Ideas Outlined by
Blaine and Emphasized by McKin-
ley.
Chicago, April 19.-The necessity of
expansion was the dominant theme at
the banquet of the Bankers Club.
which was held tonight at the Audi
forum Hotel. The chief speakers OF
the evening were President M. e. In
gals of the Big -Four Railroad Com
rsny; Robert ]. Lowery of Atlanta,
and Frank o. Lowden of Chicago.
The principal address of the evening
was delivered by Mr.. ingalls, and his
views found earnest support among
his hearers.
Mr.. Ingalls, said:
IF we would make this nation as
rich and powerful as it ought to be;
If we would bring money and pros
perity to ourselves and to the future,
we must adopt some of the plans that
were outlined by Blaine in his day,
were emphasized by Mckinley in his
last message; we must adopt a sys-
tenn or reciprocity by which we can
increase trade. A tariff wall against
the labor of Europe and it's competi-
ton may be necessary. 1t certainly is
considered so by large number of our
people, but the same wall that pro-
tects us upon that side is our ruin
upon the other, and we must cultivate
the West Indies, the South American
states and the islands of the Pacific
by reciprocal arrangements and rela-
tons which promote our commerce.
We must admit their products free, in
consideration of their purchasing from
us, and IL this is done, we have not
ships enough upon the ocean to carry
the commerce between those countries
and our own, and there is not money
enough in the banks to furnish the
credit and exchange.
I'VE should then bind these countries
to us by ties stronger than any legis-
lation. They would be our friends, our
partners in business. And l confess L
can see nothing but trouble in any
other partnership. With the expert
ence we have in the Southern states
with negro suffrage. are you willing
to undertake the admission of Cuba
and Porto Rico as states, containing
as they do a large majority of colored
people? Neither do / care to maintain
kindergarten in the Philippines for
the education of 100000 OF Orientals.
Rather, l say, keep the hands of for
eign nations off, hold the commerce Of
these countries, furnish the transporta-
ton, furnish the ships, furnish the
banking facilities for their trade, and
we will have commercial annexation
without the danger of political annexa-
ton"
Mr.. Lowry spoke in favor Of expan-
sion in general and paid particular at
tention to matters In the South, draw
ing a brilliant picture of the prospects
and capabilities of the Southern states.
