VIII Retain Control.

The question of retaining control of
the Grand opera house or leasing 1t was
settled yesterday afternoon by the
Young Mems G. T. A. B. Corps, the
owners of the building. The sentiment
of the members was practically unani-
nous in favor Of retaining control, and
this was the final decision of the society.
j. j. McMenamin, the present manager,
was reelected to the position for the
season of 1903-1904.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
season opened very late, the showing
made by MIR. McMenamin and the
board of directors has been excellent t
and the society feels that it is more
profitable to continue its present plan
than to lease the property.

RAILROADS.

To avoid damage from floods, the
tracks Of the D. 5. & s. Railroad are to
be relad between Gum Run and Tom
hicken. The new roadbed will be placed
several feet farther up the mountain
side than at present. The tracks now
run alongside creek, the waters OF
which give the railroad company much
trouble at certain times OF the year.

Freeland branch are anxiously awaiting

Gently abandoned.
Pardee & Co. propose to do extensive
stripping near Cranberry, along the
present route of the D. S. & s. and the
tracks will have to be removed a con-
siderable distance. A large amount of
cutting and grading will be required
for the new roadbed and part of a very
large slate bank must be removed to
give the railroad new route.

WHAT THE JOINT SNAKE REALLY Is.
Nearly everybody" said Zoo keep
er, "believes in joint snakes-believes
in little snakes that can dismember
themselves into four or five pieces and
then come together again. Sometimes
these reptiles are called glass snakes.
Though there seems to be incontro-
vertible evidence to the contrary, 1t Is
nevertheless a fact that joint snakes,
glass snakes, don't exist. There does
exist, though, a lizard called scientifi-
cally Ophiosaurus ventralis, that Is the
same thing.
"This lizard, because it is long and
slim and legless, looks like a snake.
It's tail is very delicate. The verte-
brae are so fragile that the slightest
shock causes the tail to drop off-to
break at the same time, maybe, into
three or four pieces. People seeing the
lizard go through this operation think
they have seen joint snake. The tall
pieces of course, can't be taken on
again, but the lizard is just as well off,
for it's tail always grows to its original
length. This lizard is to be found In
the south and west. We have some
here" e."-Philadelph Record.

lNp1A.-A Bombay correspondent

lNpIA.-A Bombay correspondent
writes that much attention continues
to be given in India to frontier affairs
The concentration of 100000 British
and Indian troops in the Northwest
Province, and the pushing forward Of
some Of the military posts close to the
Afghan border, are current topics Of
bazaar talk.
The cause of these movements is
said to be the reported unsettled con-
dition Of Afghanistan and the arrival
Of Russian troops along the northern
border Of that country. Importance Is
also attached to visit about to be
made by General Kitchener, q brother
of the commander in chief, to Napal,
against whose ruler an alleged plot
was recently discovered in India and
some Of the participants in 1t arrested
at Benares.
For some reason or other the British
Indian authorities have issued instruc-
tions to the frontier officials that all
packages taken into Thibet are to be
subject to rigid scrutiny, and In no
case Is steel to be allowed to cross the
border from India In one case a very
small piece Of sheet iron, which could
not under any circumstances be con-
verted into weapons, was confiscated.
The consequence Is that trade Is
checked the belief being that these
measures of the Indian government in
dicate coming trouble.-New York Sun.

pressed willingness to remain in the
prison until the excitement abated or
until some one swore his life against
the supposed murderer. They were
virtually prisoners, and they knew 1t
well. Furthermore, they could see that
Baron Dangloss believed Lorry guilty
of the murder. Protestations Of inno-
cence had been politely received and
politely disregarded.

THE NEW MILITIA LAW.
Status of National 0uardsmen AZ
Compared With Regulars.

Judge Advocate General Davis has
sent to the secretary Of war an opinion
relative to various disputed matters Of
construction Of the new militia law.
One point raised was whether section
IA Of the militia act, relating to expen-
diture of money for the militia, was
not in conflict with the Federal con-
stitution, the contention being that
1t would take the militia from the con-
troll of the states.
General Davis points out that the
new militia law does not differ mate
rally from the present law and all
that will be necessary Is change in
the forms for accounting to be made
to treasury department.
A more important point raised con-
Germs Sec. is, which provides for the
participation Of the militia Of the sew
eral states In maroeuvres and field in
structions Of the regular army. but
with a further proviso that the COM
mand Of military post or camp and
of the officers and troops Of the United
States stationed where such manoeu-
vres occur shall remain with the reg
ular commander Of the past without
regard to the rank Of the commanding
or other officers of the militia tempo
rsrily encamped there. General Davis
holds that such portions Of the Nation
al Guard as participate in the manoeu-
vres or operations do so for purpose Of
improving their discipline and efflcien-
cy. and that in such participation they.
act under the orders Of their respects
i've governors. While 80 engaged the
several organizations Of the National
Guard, he says, remain under the con-
troll of their several commanders-in-
chief, and. not having been called
forth" in the manner prescribed In the
constitution, do not pass under the
command and control of the president
as commander chief Of the land ma,
val forces of the United States. He
holds that the enlisted men Of the Ma
tional Guard are not entitled to In
creased pay in virtue Of previous ser
vice in the militia, but says that off,
GERS who have served five years in the
militia are entitled under the law to.
the same 10 per cent. increase Of pay
that is provided for officers Of the
army. The Judge advocate general
says that in applying Sec. 1s the drills
and encampments which took place in
any state or territory during the year
ended December 81, 1902. should be
considered in determining the right Of
the state or territory to participate in
the benefits conferred by previous and
present laws.

elusive.

ments.

sponded Mr.. Anguish.

When Anguish announced that bis
principal chose pistols, strange CLEAN
crept into the eyes Of the Axphainians,
and they seemed satisfied. Colonel At
tobawn acted as interpreter during this
short but very important interview,
which was carried on in the A1phain
language. Lorry sat on the window sill
steadfastly gazing into the night: The
visitors departed soon. and 1t was un-
derstood that Prince Lorenz would con-
descend to meet Mr.. Lorry at o'clock
on the next morning in the valley be-
yond the castle, two miles from town.
There was no law prohibiting duels In
Graustark.
"Well. you're in for 1t, old man." said

The other gave a start and did not
look pleased. Then he instinctiYely
glanced toward the castle.
"The princess Is ut the Window he
cried, catching Lorry's arm and point
ing back. But the other refused to
turn, walking on blindly. "You ought
not to have acted like that, Gren." said
Anguish a few moments later. "She
saw me cali your attention to her, and
she saw you refuse to look back. l
don't think that you should have hurt
her." Lorry did not respond. and
there was no word between them until
they were outside the castle gates.
"You may leave tomorrow, Lorry, If
you like. but I'm going to stay awhile"
said Harry trifle confusedly.
Haven't you had enough Of the
placer
II don't care a whoop for the place.
You see. it's this way: I'm just as hard

"You mean that you are in love with

"Emphatically."
"I'm sorry for you"
"Think she'll turn me DOWN.
"Unless you buy title Of one of
these miserable counts or dukes"
"Oh, I'm not 80 sure about that.

marry our American girls. don't see
why can't step in and pick out nice

"She is not as avaricious as the

cares nothing for your money"

bitterly.

CHAPTER XVI.
A CLASH AND ITS RI2ULT.

A CLASH AND ITS RI9ULT.
~ FEEL like spending the rest OF
my days in that monastery up
there" said Lorry after dinner
that evening They were stroll
ing about the town. One was deter
mined to leave the city, the other firm
in his resolve to stay. The latter won
the day when he shrewdly If explosive
ly reminded the former that it was
their duty as men to stay and protect
the princess from the Vaccinations of
Gabriel, that knave Of purgatory. Lor-
ry, at last recognizing the hopelessness
Of his suit, was ready to throw down
his arms and abandon the field to supe-
rior odds. His presumption in aspiring
for the hand Of princess began to
touch his sense of humor, and he
laughed, not very merrily. 1t is true, but
long and loudly, at his folly. At first
he cursed the world and every one In
it, giving up in despair, but later he
cursed only himself. Yet as he de-
SPARED and scoffed he felt within him;
self an ever present hope that luck
might turn the tide Of battle.
This puny ray grew perceptibly when
Anguish brought him to feel that she
needed his protection from the man
who had oEce sought to despoil and
who might reasonably be expected to
persevere. He agreed to linger in Edel-
weiss. knowing that each day would
add pain to the torture he was already
suffering. his sole object being, he con-
yinced himself. to frustrate GabriePs
evil plans.
Returning late in the evening from
their stroll, they entered cafe cele-
brated in Edelweiss. In all his life
Lorry had never known the loneliness
that makes death welcome.
The cafe was crowded with men and
women. In far corner sat party of
Axphain mobiles. their prince. most
democratic fellow, at the head Of a
long table. There were songs. jests and
boisterous laughter. The celebration
grew wilder, and Lorry and Anguish
