NATIONAL HOME.
In the Home Cemetery.

During a period of more than S5
years. one by one, each in his narrow
cell. the veterans of the Home have
been laid TO rest in the city Of the dead
upon the hill until the number has
reached 1900, and last week interment
in the new cemetery on the knoll to
the eastward Of the camp was begun.
The first man buried in the cemetery
was James West, late of Co. G, 2Sth
Mass. Infy., who died March 13, 1867,
aged 30 years. The grave Is numbered
4. The headstone of grave No. l bears
the inscriptions:

Late Pvt. I Co, 18th Pa,
Died April 20, 1867,
Act. %.
The headStoneS in the cemetery are
furnished by the war department and
their pattern has varied but little as
the years have gone by, a plain and
simple tablet, though in later years il
is somewhat larger than at first.
AS we look along the stones we find
that the age slowly but steadily grows
greater After 25 years, in 1892, the 1000
mark was reached. and the age is g.
James r. Reynolds, late of the 18th N
Y. Ia terry. During the next decade
the number of graves has increased
much more rapidly, although the re-
mains of a larger proportion of those
dying at the Home are sent TO theiI
former homes. and the stone numbered
1900 when set will bear the name OF
Michael Powers, late c Co., SSth n. Y
Vol. Infy., died Oct. q, 1902 On that
dat, the number of deaths of members
of the Home had reached a total of
2SOS, and the number of names borne
uron the member ship rolls of the Home
since it was first opened in October
1865. was 12,541.

LONDON BLUE BOOK
Shows Colonial Conference Did No,
Favor Free Trade With Colonies.

London. NOV. 4.-The blue book on the
colonial conference does not add much
to what is already known The sresolu-
ton adopted on the subject of preferen-
tial trade is the most interesting part OF
the report to America. In hat resolution
the conference recognizes that preferen
tial trade between the United Kingdom
and the colonies would stimulate and ia
cilitate commerce and strengthen the. EN-
pire; that in the present circumstances
OF the colonies it would not be practical
bic to adopt general system OF Ires
trade; that with a view to promoting all
increase of trade within the empire. how
ever. it is desirable that those colonies
which have not already adopted such Il
policy should, as far as their clrcum
entail treatment to the products and
manufacturers of the United Kingdom.
A memorandum from the president OF
the Board of Trade shows that the pre-
miers were prepared to recommend pref
erential treatment on British goods as
follows: Canada, the existing preference
of 90 Is per cent and an additional pref
duties in favor Of certain foreign import.
now free; New Zealand. 10 per cent. al
round reduction on presents duties OF
British goods; Cape Colony and Natal

Another resolution emphasizes the de
STABILITY of considering the refusing Of
clndine trade between the United King
dom and the colonies and between the
colonies. to countries wherein correspond
ing trade is carried in ships of their owl
nationality.

which could be scaled without much
trouble. Chatham evidently might
have passed into any one of several
buildings which lacked the protection
of the formidable spikes that so eff
fectually guarded the approach to
Murdoch 5 house from the rear.
One point, however, was puzzling.
Why should Chatham take the trou-
bic and the risk of scaling fences in
broad daylight. only to return a few
hours later by the street door under
the very noses of the detectives from
whom he had presumably wished to
escape? There seemed to be no plaus-
IDLE answer to this question.
But Sturgis was not given much
time il which to consider it: for Muir
dock, who had waited for him to
breach the subject of his interview,
now coldly remarked:
Perhaps, Mr.. Sturgis. you viii be
good enough to inform me to what
l owe the honor of this visit?~"
Sturgis took as a pretext the first
subject which came into his mind.
Doctor" said he. Il have been told
that you We're engaged in series of
brilliant chemical researches; that
you had proved. or were on the point
of proving. that several, at least. Of
the so-called elementary metals are
compounds; thus ushering in the
realization OF the dream of the al
chemists-the transmutation of met.

You have not come here to inter-

haustive experiments, and refrainS

invited you to step into the parlor.'
The words, courteous in themselves,
conveyed to the nearer an impression
of biting sarcasm.
Il found the parlor already occu-
pied; hesitated to disturb a tete-a-
tetc," replied Sturgis, quietly.
Murdoch eyed him narrowly for a
moment. and then invited him into
the study.
The chemists study was a spacious
room, plainly but luxuriously fur
nished, and containing every conven-
fence and comfort calculated to light
en- the labor of busy man. The
table, Uttered with books and papers.
stood near a small safe and almost
directly opposite the hall door.
Speaking-tubes and electric call but
tons were within reSch Of the occu-
pant of the easy chair, and probably
placed him in communication with
the various portions of the house
hold; while . telephone on one side
and typewriter on the other showed
that the chemist kept in touch also
with the outside world.
Murdock's interlocutor. whoever he
had been, had disappeared. But how?
The question Interested Sturgis. and
his mind at once began to seek an
answer to it.
There were three doors leading
from the study. One of these was the
one by which Murdoch and Sturgis
had just entered from the hall No
one could have passed out that way
without meeting them.
Then there were the folding doors
leading into the library; but. as the
door leading from the library to the
hall had remained slightly ajar, Stur-
gis felt sure that he would have heard
the man had he gone out by that
way.
The third door led to a small ex-
tension.
He must have gone into the ex-
thought Sturgis.
The only alternative was an exit
through the windows. This in itself
would not have presented any special
for the distance to the
tagging below was hardly more than
l2 or 10 feet. But the yard. which
vas of diminutive size on account Of
he space allotted to the garden on
he street. was inclosed by an I'M
Usually high fence. protected by a
ow of sharp and closely set spikes.
These looked so formidable that the Z
bought of anyone attempting TO s
Gale the fence instantly suggested 1
isions of impaled wretches writhing
n oriental fortunes. The only pos
IDLE exit from the yard, therefore,
eemed to be through the basement;
hat is to say, past the kitchen and
he servants department. /
All these thoughts flashed through I
he reporters brain in small frac- t
on of the time which is required to
acord them. They occurred to him
