what a horror

The room In which the old man sat
was bare Of furniture save for a bed,
a chair and an old horsehair trunk,
brass nailed and padlocked at the hasp.
On the wall was portrait in oil, dim
with age for the most part, yet with
the stern set face of the old Puritan
preacher, Jonathan Edgars, looking
out with eyes untouched by time.
The old man rose unsteadily from
the chair and, walking to the window,
looked out upon the gray day. Then,
shivering, he turned away. "Cold with
out and Within" he said to himself.

Is old"

lily Wore down his fortune so that In
April, 1881, he was believed to be at
the end Of the road. He went on des-
perately, rallying by an occasional
coup, but being overwhelmed by the
collapse Of deal in Northern Pacific,
He then took to dealing in privileges,
and he sold these so recklessly and
the market turned so unfortunately
that he entangled himself beyond hope
of redemption, and In 1884 failed
again.
Mr.. Keene got back into the market
again, and when success came to him
he paid all the debts that were out
standing when he suspended in 1884.
He turned bull as stocks made unprec-
edented advances with the incoming
Of this century and was credited with
getting out at profit. His bear cam
paigns were the losing ventures of his
recent years. He was assailed bitterly
by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit man
agement in 1899 and was charged with
being the source Of the rumors affect
ing that stock.

Tickling His Debtors.

John Barrett was only q years old
when President Cleveland appointed
him Minister to Siam. The first Inn

youthful envoy was to press a claim
against the Siamese government for
one million dollars. Experienced am
bassadors warned him against using
threats in obtaining the money. BE

'That is" responded Mr.. Barrett.

The statesman nodded assent.

they are all right in almost any place.
Many of these coats are away down to
the bottom of the skirt. This Is the SEN
sible length if they are intended for use
in rain, but if they are planned as dust
coats, the three-Quarter length is just as
good and Is just so much lighter for the
Wearer. The light tan shade of craven
cite trimmed with colored silk makes a
stylish garment, and one that has Ger

A Retrospecrive Wish.

James Whitcomb Riley Is said to be
not at all selfish with his own literary
material, and often tells, socially, an
excellent story which does not there

literary work.
"Two country boys" Mr.. Riley said
not long ago, "were called from their
grief over a dead playmate-a favor

was q chicken dinner, which the boys
enjoyed with subdued gusto until the

The other was blue canvas trimmed with

gowns, you see, are suitable both for ac-
tual boating and rocking chair sailoring
-that Is, for watching the boats from
hotel or cottage piazza. Women who are
or pretend to be active in sailing and who
desire to advertise the fact, wear heavy
short skirts and thick wool sweaters In
either white or color, preferably white.

JEWISH PETITION TO THE CAR

Oyster Bay, L. l.. July 15.-An i'm

dent and representative Jewish citizens

garding the petition to the Russian
government on the kishinef outrages.
Besides the President, the parties to
the conference we're Simon S. Wolf of
Washington. Oscar S. Straus and Leo
N. Levi of New York.
The administration has been embar-
rassed by the delay of the representa-
tives of the BNai Birth society in pre-
senting the petition. A draft of the
document was handed to President
:. Roosevelt several weeks ago by Mr..
WOlf. but it was decided. after some
consideration. to modify the text of the
petition before presenting it formally
to this government for transmittal to
Russia Time was desired. too, to OBJ

but strong intimation is given that
the petition may not be forwarded to
the Russian government.
The Grit-advocate., 1903-07-17

The desire of both the Presiden: and
Secretary Hay is that the kishinet IN
cident should be closed as soon as DOS
sible, as further delay in its considera-
tion might prove embarrassing to This
government in its diplomatic negotia-
tions with Russia
lnasmuch as the Russian government
has indicated by the adoption of severe
measures. a genuine disposition to pun
ish adequately the perpetrators of the
kishinef murders and in addition
those who instigated them it is prob
lem for the President and Secretary
Hay TO solve whether representations
concerning the incident now are either
desirable or necessary.
1t is suggested that the whole mat
ter may be resolved into brief state
ment through diplomatic channels to
the Russian foreign Office that such a
petition is in the hands of the United
States, thus leaving it to Russia to say
whether 1t would or would not receive
the document if it were presented. This
would close the incident without sub
jecting the United States relations
with Russia to a strain, and it is
thought would be quite as effective as
the actual presentation Of the petition
