Rosa.s Bonheur,s Lions.

Rosa Bonheur gave the freedom of
her gardens to the lions of the me-
nagerie at By. Sometimes the passers-
by on the road would regard with stu
pefaction a tawny lion crouching on
the terrace of Mile. Rosa, and gazing
majestical,y from the height of the
wall which formed his pedestal. How
ever, after awhile the artist grew tired
of entertaining such expensive guests,
which, moreover, in spite of all as
%surances, kept the neighborhood in a
constant state of terror, and she gave
her last lion, sc carefully tanned, to the
Jardin des Plantes. 1t was a privilege
to hear the charming woman tell of
her visit to her imprisoned pet, of how
sad he was, revelling no longer in the
caresses of his mistress, while his name
looked dirty and uncombed. "The
poor animal" said she, "rose up when
he saw me, and his glance, so eloquent
and pathetic, seemed to tell mel am
wrong; his look actually said: See
what they have done to me. I am
weary. l suffer. Save me! Take me
back!' "-Harper's Magazine.

The simplicity of the message
touched me.
"Pray sit down a minute, Mr.. Kit

self right with you. 1t is only
natural that you should get angry,
if you think l have treated you as
you said just now. However, that

who Hayle was, I should have takeL
very good care that he did not leave
this office until you had had an in
terview with him. Unfortunately,
however, l was not aware of his
identity. 1 have encountered some
bold criminals in my time, but 1 do
not know that I have ever had a
more daring n than the mar who
treated you so badly"
I %thereupon proceeded to give him
a rough outline of Hayle's interview
with myself, and his subsequent
treatment of me. Both men listened
with rapt attention.
"That is Hayle all over" said Kit
water when I had finished. cit is
not his fault that you are not a
dead man nov He will evade us if
he possibly car. The story of the
roughs you have just told us shows
that he is aware that you are on the
trail, and, if 1 know him at all, he
will try the old dodge, and put run

still plenty of places left in it where
he can hide and we shall never find
him. With the money he stole from
us he can make himself as comfort
able as he pleases wherever he may
happen to be. To sum it all up, if
he gets a weeks start of us, we shall
never set eyes on him again."
"If that is SO we must endeavor to
make sure that he does not get that
start" I replied. ST will have the
principal ports watched, and in the
meantime will endeavor to find out

enemy as well as yours. I hope I
have set myself right with you now.
You do not still believe that I am
acting in collision with him?"
81 do not" Kitwater answered,
vehemently. "And 1 most humbly
apologize for having said what I did.
1t would have served me right if you

DECORATION WITH A MORAL.
Its Recipient Breaks a Pledge Not to
Accept Such Honors and
Is Sorry.

A story Substantive of an %unfortu-
nate error of judgment is told at the
expense of the late Baron Nordens-
jold, says Youths Companion. When
he was on his way home from the ST.
berian coast, he received a telegram
from the Russian government, ask
ing him if he would accept a decora-
ton from the car in recognition of
his services to the country.
Now the baron was a member of
the Anti-Decoration society, which
pledged its supporters to receive no
decorations from anybody; and he
wrestled long and faithfully with
himself before finally he yielded to
the temptation, and ~telegraphed back
that he would gladly accept the
honor.
How great, then, was his chagrin
when, on reaching home, a friend told
him that the cza was fully aware of
his antipathy to honors of the ma
ture of decorations, and he had put
aside the sum of 100000 rubles, to be
given to him in case of his refusal
of the offer.
"Russia," added the friend, blandly,
sis certainly grateful to you for your
failure to live up to your pledge"
A maj does not lose 100000 rubles
every time he breaks a pledge, but
the moral is a good one for all that.

so it is that elaborate preparations are
now being made for the appearance at

BY preparations, of course, is meant

was a perfect quality of black camel's

broad box plaits, stitched down to
within nine inches of the hem, and it
was a trottoir skirt, by the way. Above
came a little blouse coat, in the con-
struction whereof the box plaits were
repeated, while the fronts opened in

WALL STREET FIRMS FAIL.
wnll-Joint Liabilities from S2,-
100000 to S0,OOO,OOO.

New York, May 6.-Three stock ex.
change firms, Offenbach & Moore, Hen
ry Brothers g. CO., and Lockwood, Hurd
& CO., announced their suspension in
the order named at the opening of the
market Monday. The amount of their
joint liabilities is variously estimated
at from $2,000,000 to $1,000, 900; assets
unknown, and in the opinion of good
judges a goodly portion are of doubt
full value. No very definite statement
was forthcoming from the parties
most interested. The day closed with
the usual rumors of more failures,
criminal prosecution and the like. The
solvency of several financial institu-
tions of standing was brought into
question, but for such rumors there
appeared to be absolutely no founda-
ton. The market was seriously af-
fected by the three failures, stocks
breaking heavily at the outset, but the
closing was fairly steady. Call money
opened at ten per cent, rose rs high as
20 per cent and closed six per cent.
The failures were directly due to
last weeks serious decline in num-
Der of Industrial stocks. Two of this
group, Rutland Railroad preferred,
and St. Lawrence and Adirondack, are
regularly listed on the stock exchange.
The others, including Dominion Sc
curities, Hackensack Meadows, North
American Lumber and Pulp and Stor-
| age Power, are, or rather were, more
or less extensively dealt in on the
"Curb.' 1t was an open secret last
Saturday that two or more concerns
were involved in the decline of the
Webb-Meyer properties, and disas-
trous results were feared. News of
the three failures came at the outset
of the days operations.
Following announcement of the fail
ures many lots of stocks and a few
blocks of bonds were bought and sold
"under the rule" on the exchange for
account of the insolvent concerns.
The assignee of Henry Brothers e. Co.
is j. Adriance Bush. and of Lock
wood, Hurd & Co.. Edward d. Perine.
Both assignees said they were unable
to make even an approximate estimate
of liabilities and assets. Offenbach &
Moore, although suspended from the
privileges of the stock exchange, had
not really assigned. Mr.. Moore said
their embarrassment would be only
temporary.

temporary.

st. Louis, May GA special to the
Post-Dispatch from Carbondale, Ill,
says: Delegates from Illinois, Mis-
souri,, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Ken
tucky and Arkansas met here Mon
day for the purpose of organizing the
common laborers of America int o a ma
tional organization, which, if formed,
will take from the Federation of La
Dor nearly all its unskilled labor mem
bers. For some time an agitation has
been in progress in the Federal ation of
Labor against the payment into the
treasury of over one-eighth of the rev.
enues without an adequate representa-
zion in the federation councils. 1t is
estimated that one-fourth of the MEM
bership is unskilled and tool to Sc
cure benefits for the trades without
any help from the main body in cases
of strikes and lockouts.
The organization will be known as
the Amalgamated Common Laborers
of America, and is in reality seces-
sion from the American Federation of
Labor.
Labor leaders who have watched the
new movement claim that in but a
short time ii will become a giant in
the industrial world. Monday night
committee of seven had under con-
sideration constitution for the order
and all opposition has passed away
after the test of strength in the con-
vention. National officers will be
elected and the distinctive features of
the order wherein they will differ from
other unions will be discussed. Will

The Admiral Breathes His Last
at Washington.
Cerebral Hem orrhngo Was the Immc.
mediate Cause of His Dcnth--
Admiral Was Native of
Now York State and
62 Years Old.

Washington, May Rear Admiral
William 4. Sampson, retired, died at
his home in this city at o'clock yes
terday afternoon. The immediate
cause of death was n severe cerebral
hemorrhage. He had been in semi
conscious state for several days. At
the bedside when the admiral
breathed his last were Mrs. Sampson,
Mrs. Lieut.. Cluverius, the admirars
married daughter; Admiral SIMPSONS
two young sons, Ralph and Harold
Sampson, DR., Dixon, the attending
physician, and nurses and attend
ants.
Mrs. Sampson has broken down un-
der the severe strain, and was quite
iii all during the day. But for the
critical condition of the admiral she
would have been confined to her bed.
While no definite arrangements
have as yet been made concerning the
funeral ceremonies, it is probable
they will take place Thursday at tho
Church of the Covenant in this city.
William T. Sampson was born in
Palmyra, n. Y, in 1910. His first real
service was on the old ironclad Pa
tapsco. He was lieutenant on her
when she was struck and sunk by
torpedo in the harbor of Charleston,
January Is, 1865. AS the Patapsco
went down in the dark, Sampson was
caught around the ankles by the
boarding net, and drawn down with
the ship. Waiting until the first rush
was over, he deliberately worked his
feet loose, rose to the surface and
was picked up.
Two years later he was on tho
Colorado, the flagship of the Euro
pean squadron, and from that time
saw considerable service in different
parts of the world, until, as lieuten-
ant commander, he was made the
superintendent of the naval acade-
my in 1886. Prior to that time no
one with so low u rank had held that
Office.
In 1898, with the rank of captain.
he became chief of the bureau of
ordnance. He was taken from that
by Secretary Long and made presi-
dent of the board which investi-
gated the blowing up of the Maine.
Then he succeeded Admiral Sicard as
the commander of the North Allan
tic station, and SO was, at the out
break of the Spanish war, in COM
mand of the fleets operating in West
India waters.

States on leave. His connection with
the defense of legations during the
Boxer uprising is highly creditable.
He has had military experience, and
by virtue of that fact was practically
in charge of the legation defense.
Gen. Bragg, the new consul general
at Havana, was born at Unadilla, n. Y,
in 1927. He entered the union army
as captain in 1861 and reached the
grade of brigadier general in the reg
ular establishment. He served for
some years in congress and afterwards
was appointed United States minister
to Mexico. His present home is at
Fond du Lac, Wis. The salary of the
consul general is $1,000.

lawlessness in the coke regions
reached n sensational climax at Dun
bar Monday night, when John A.
Callahan, prominent young man of
that place, aged 22 years, was brutal
ly murdered, and Myrtle Stevens, his
companion, outraged by two negroes
supposed to be James Finney and Jim
Washington. Terrified at the killing,
the Stevens girl fed to her home, af1
ter she had been released by her as
sailants, and did not report the crime.
Tuesday the body of Callahan was
ound in a field near Hustled & Sea-
mons store. Two hours later Finney
and Washingt n were arrested and
the facts of the story were brought
to light.
Callahan was seen walking toward
the furnace with the Stevens girl az
about 9 o'clock. The two were fol-
lowed by the two negroes who tried
to forcibly take the girl from Calla-
han. In scuffie with the negroes
Callahan was shot, the bullet passing
squarely through his heart. The
Stevens girl is in serious condition
from shock and fright.
When arrested both men protested
their innocence, saying they were not
near the scene of the crime Monday
night.

THE COLORED CLUBS.
women's Convention Action Regard
ed ms Triumph for Opponents
to Their Admission.

Los Angeles, Cal, May 6.-After n
two hours discussion of the question
of admission of colored women into
the Women's club, the anti-colored
women won the day when the con-
vention voted overwhelmingly to ac-
cept what is known as the compro-
mise amendment agreed upon in New
York several weeks ago. This amend
ment does not explicitly provide for
the admission of colored clubs. Sec
tion 2, which was considered and fin
ally adopted, reads: "From state
where club is n member of the
state federation, it would also be
recommended by the executive board
of the state federation, the power of
admission to remain as given in ar
ticle III of the bylaws"
When the rules were suspended and
the viva voce vote was taken, the
convention voted by large majority
to accept the compromise amendment.
This decision was greeted with much
applause, and while it does not final
" settle the color question for this
convention, it being possible for it to
crop out this morning in the consid-
Grafton of section 3, which provides
for the duties of the membership
committee, it is looked upon as tri-
umph of the south in their two years
struggle to keep colored clubs out of
the general organization.

NOTED PRELATE DEAD.
Archbishop Corrisnn, OF New York,
Passes Away Unexpectedly
His Career.

New York, May 6.-Archbishop Cor
rigan died at 1905 o'clock Monday
night. The death of the archbishop
came as great surprise and shock
TO those in the archiepiscopal resi-
dence. 1t was more so to the gen.
eral public, for the last bulletin of
the day was that so certain were the
physicians of improvement in the
condition of the patient there would
be no more bulletins during the night.
Up to 10:30 there was no evidence
of collapse. In fact, the archbishop
at 1O:40 talked with his secretary.
About 10:45 o'clock, however, the
trained nurses who had charge at the
bedside noticed a change. Acting on
instructions, the physicians were tel
ephoned for. At the same time the
archbishop's brothers were sum
moned to the room as well as num-
Der of priests. 1t was quickly seen
