CIAI LII AL.
When Martha Cole made her way to
the police headquarters, and inquired for
the chief of police that officer presented
himself and inquired the nature of her
business.
That's for you to tell after I've told
my errand. Do you know Mr.. Gripp?"
"Gripp-Gripp!' said the chief. 81
think l do know who you mean. Who
are your"
"My names Cole"
The chief started"
well, what's your business?"
ITO protect my boy. He is at the age
when boys are easily led astray. / want
to make bargain with you. I'll give
you hint that may be of service to you,
if you'll promise sacredly to help my 10y
if ever he gets into trouble. only ask
you to overlook the first--mind you--the
first offense."
whats your boys name"
Bob Walters. l was married twice.
My first husband Bob's father, might be
living to-day if the world had pardoned
his first offense. He did what wasn't
right-did it to help friend, and when
it was found out-and nobody ever got
at the bottom of the business-he went to
the bad-died."
II knew your husband, Mrs. Cole" said
the chief, in an altered tone. HE was
as honest man as ever l knew, and was
my friend when l had none. I'll promise
to help his boy--on my honor, Mrs. Cole"
Now we understand each other. III
tell you just how 1t is. Bob's been going
errands for Mr.. Grip. Grips had some
thing on hand he wanted kept quiet, and
he's bound Bob up so the boys afraid. /
left him in the house half an hour ago,
afraid to come out"
What is Grip up to?"
81 don't know where Bobs been for
him. / know he was in Allegheny, and
more than once. to number - -
street"
The chief prickcd up his ears at that.
"How did you learn this?'
"By leading him, when he wasn't sus
pecting my motive, to talk about his com.
rades in Allegheny"
what else?"
"Why-my names Cole. you see."
! She blushed family. Mrs. Cole was
( coming to a page in her life that she did
not like to recall.
"Well?"
"And her name, they said, was Cole,
too. And they said it was Knox. | think
I'm pretty sure-they've mixed me with
| the Knox woman"
your
ut was this way: About six years ago
Mr.. Grip did what people called a good
turn for my last husband-Cole | don't
believe it, | believe he is human de-
mOn!
"They do tell some queer stories now
about Gripp," said the chief.
I've thought all along, if the truth
was known, he was my husbands enemy.
But he came to the funeral. and was a
pall-bearer, and called afterward. If he
had ever been true friend of my hus-
bands he would never have insulted his
widow"
The chief looked at her flaming cheeks
and blazing eyes, and made his own Gp
plication.
"le began talking marriage, and when
| allowed him to pay my husbands funar
al expenses, and | thought some of my
ncighbors We're looking curiously at me
went straight to Mr.. Grip to have il
out with him. And we did. | say he is
a sham, deceitful wretch, a hypocrite.'
81 agree with you"
"When told him never, never to speal
to me again, he laughed and shook the
, receipt for my husbands funeral ex
, penses in my face. I've paid every cen
. ceipts for the money"
! Let me have them. I'd like to com
pare the handwriting"

of the republican party of Wisconsin"
A warm eulogy of the republican party
was pronounced. Adding:
1.-The years which have passed
since by your authority l took seat
in the senate of the United States
have been crowded with great events
and wonderful national development
and progress. Our industrial and
commercial growth has been without
parallel even in the history of this
country, unlimitable in its resources,
and irresistible in the commercial
genius and energy Of its people. The
American people during that period,
inspired by purpose as lofty and I'M
heart of man, lifted the gage of bat
tie and gave ungrudgingly of its
blood and treasure for the liberty of
Cuba, and the right of the Cubans to
establish on their own and beautiful
island their own free and Independent
republic. 1t has taken upon itself
this people of ours, with character

cation, and upon the demand of ma
tional honor obligations, thus far
burdens. There came to US from the
Spanish war many problems extreme
ly complicated, many of US thought
dangerous; we have gone deliberately
about their solution.
Porto Rico is q territory of the
United States, to stand forever under
the flag of the United States over one
entrance to the great canal which is
to connect the Atlantic and Pacific
seas. (Applause)
I'm the Philippine archipelago the
work of education, government and
liberty goes on in peace, and this ma
ton is without a handicap or legisla-
tive or improvident pledge against it
IN the future. No man can deny that
the relations of the United States to
the governments OF the world in re
spect to power and influence during
the last five years has utterly
changed But for that change many
things adverse to this people would
have occurred. l am convinced that
but for that change and the posses
sion by the United States of the
Philippine archipelago China before
this day would have been partitioned
to the probable detriment forever of
the commercial interest of the

Washington, Jan. 30.-This was the
last private claims day of this con-
gress in the house and the members
with bills on the calendar carried
| everything before them in the commit
tee of whole. Forty-five bills were
acted on favorably, despite the efforts
of Mr.. Payne, the republican floor
leader, assisted by Mr.. Cannon and
others, to defeat some of them. Many
claims were old, dating back to the
civil war, and a few originated prior
TO that time. The latest was for bal
ances due for carrying the mails in
the south when the war broke out.
Mr.. Payne was particularly insistent
in his opposition to these bills, call
ing attention to the exposure of the
fraudulent character of many. He
expressed the opinion that all these
claims were paid before The mem
bers interested stood together, how
ever, and voted him down every time
he demanded a division. When the
committee of the whole reported the
bills to the house, Mr.. Payne, blocked
the hnal passage by making the point
of no quorum. But friends of the
claims refused to be baked. A mo-
ton was made to recess until tomor-
row in order to continue the legisla-
tive day and the sergeant-at-arms and
| his deputies were sent out to arrest
and bring in the absent. 1t was s
O'Clock at night before the requisite
quorum was secured to carry the mo-
ton and let the session go over. Ex-
cept for routine business the senate
devoted the session to eulogies of the
late Senator Mcmillan of Michigan.
Tributes ware paid by several men,
/ bers, including Senator Alger, who
I delivered his first speech in the

was the principal one, and was quite
