ton, with all the latest improvements
for the comfort of travellers, will meet
this train and sail Immediately, one
direct to Nagasaki, Japan, and the 9TH

MRS. HAROLD stage.
oands

from becoming merely one of the mass
of girls who went to party after party
to dance with the stupid or awkward
men. Thanks to the instruction be-
slowed on her, she did not offend by
peculiarities, and was even extremely
presentable; but though pretty and
piquant-looking, she was not much
more SO than the average, and she
was undeniably quiet-dull even, Mrs.
Stagg believed in her heart of hearts.
1t was only reasonable to expect that
after the glamor of the ball was over
she would sink into obscurity. Why
not? She was Harold Stages niece,
but he had children of his own, and
might well have more; no one knew
anything about her except this, and
really there was nothing else to say.
So the clever woman argued, and ac-
cordingly felt conscientious reasons
for continuing strenuously her good
work in behalf of her young relative.
She had started to do her best for
Eleanor, and she would continue to
the end without faltering. Not that
she found it irksome or chafed under
it; on the contrary, it rather interest
ed her; but she never disguised from
herself for moment the difficulties
/ of the situation.

Eleanor just as | would my own daugh-

If, within the next five years. she
were to marry any respectable young
man of our acquaintance, we ought to
feel very grateful, and yet, when. in
her very first season, man whom
everybody considers charming. and
who would be able to give her all that
money can buy deliberately pays her
marked attention, and saves her, If
nothing else, from having horrid
time wherever she goes, you, Harold
Stagg, get up on a high horse and
make disagreeabIe insinuations.'
Now, cherub, you know I was only
fooling. You were bearing Eleanor in
the market, so | thought I'd have
drive at the other fellow, to get rise
out of you. Come, now. III agree it's
an ideal match; and if it ever comes
to pass, I'll see that you get all the
credit for it,
Which is precisely what shall not

whose good humor was restored, lean
ing over her liege's chair and dallying

DRAMATIC SCENE In ST. LOUIS.
Countess LOwenheim's Heart Melted
BY Il Pleading Husband and
Divorce Suit Is stopped. R.

ST. Louis, March 14.-Countess An
ma Lee Rogers Brockenhaus Won Low
enheim has become r~econciled TO her
husband, and has withdrawn her suit
for divorce after Il Gene in a law
yer's office as dramatic as ever took
place ON a stage. s. &
The countess went to the law office
of f. M. Estes to ask if he had OBJ
tanned service on her husband, Count
Lowenheim, whom she supposed to
be thousands of miles away. While
they we're celebrating methods to OBJ
tain service, the count himself rushed
in, and fondly embracing his wife,
begged her to withdraw the suit. The
countess refused peremptorily. The
effort at reconciliation would have
terminated then and there had it not
been for the tact of Attorney Estes.
For an hour and q half the lawyer,
used to dealing in dry legal maxims
and perusing musty tones, was an
aid to Cupid. The count himself was
able to plead. The countess, little by
little. relented. When at last she con
scented to the withdrawal of the suit,
there was a quiet jubilee. The count
and countess took the Vandalia train
back to New York city.

dents of Tazewell county, rode to the
home of his brother-in-law, Adam c..

DISTRIBUTION OF POPULATION.
Almost Ninety-Six Per Cent. Found
In the Country Drained By the
Atlantic Ocean.

Washington, March 1.-THE census
bureau has issued a bulletin of the
geographical distribution of popula-
ton in the United States. 1t shows
hat almost ninety-six per cent. of
the total population lives in the coun-
try drained by the Atlantic ocean;
over tifty-three per cent. in that
drained by the Gulf of Mexico; A per
cent. in the drainage area of the Mis-
sissippi river; almost ten per cent. in
the area drained by the great lakes;
four per cent. ON the Pacific coast,
and half of one per cent. in the great
basin.
The proportion living within the
region drained to the Atlantic ocean
is steadily diminishing, while the part
drained to the Gulf of Mexico is be-
coming relatively more populous, as
is the case, in a still more marked de-
gree in the great basin and the Pa
afc. Of the foreign born 90 per cent.
live in the region drained to the At

.FFIY[|GHIH CONGRESS.
The President Has Not Definitely
Made Up His Mind to Call
an Extra Session.
HIS. ACTION DEPENDS ON The SENATE.
II the Cuban Treaty Is Not Ratified
md Made Effective He Holds
Himself Free to Call Congress
Together to Secure the Necessary
Action.

Washington, March 14.-It can be
stated by authority that President
Roosevelt has not definitely made up
his mind to call an extraordinary ses-
sion of the Fifty-eighth congress. He,
however, is considering the practical
bility of doing sc. When he was in
formed that it was the intention of
the senate to so amend the Cuban
reciprocity treaty as to render action
upon it by the house of representa-
tives necessary to make it effective
he informed some members of the
senate that he would hold himself
free to call an extraordinary session
of the congress in order to secure
action on it. No definite time was
mentioned by the president for the
meeting of the extraordinary session.
The president is much in earnest
in his desire to have the Cuban treaty
ratified and make it effective. 1t can
be said that sosstrong is this desire
he has even considered the ADVISABLE
ty of calling the congress into extra
ordinary session this spring it the
senate shouldpermit the Cuban treaty
to fail through lack of a quorum.
That, however, is a contingency which
he considers improbable. The belief
of the president and of his advisers is
that the senate will take definite ac-
ton on both the Panama canal and
Cuban reciprocity treaties at the
present extraordinary session. As
surances to that effect have been re-
ceived from the leaders of the senate.
The president believes, also, it can be
said, that this work of the senate will
have been accomplished by the last
of next week.
Further than that the president
"holds himself free" to call an extra
ordinary session of the Fifty-eighth
congress nothing has been deter
mined.

Memphis, Tenn, March 13.-There
is little change in the river situation,
and although the rise to-day has been
slight, the situation is considered
grave, and the stage of more than
thirty-eight feet is still expected.
Private dispatches from Charlottesville
say the situation there is practically
unchanged and that the embankment
will hold a stage three feet greater
than at present.
Capt. Lucas, in charge of the first
and SECOND districts, has left here for
Helena, Ark, to personally investi-
gate conditions in the White river dis
trict. Supplies and men were also
sent there to strengthen the levees.
Supplies and men also have been
sent to Cat island, where the rush of
the waters through the 17-mile gap
in the ~leevees is causing uneasiness.
and to Pecan point, where the
strengthening work is in progress on
the entertainments. No news has been
received to-day from the area in Mis-

reported flooded yesterday.

the rise probably will reach Memphis

A ROUGH ESTIMATE.
Novel Method of 5scertainIng What
a Loss of Twenty Pounds
Locked Like.

A well-known judge, who is as famous
for his wit as his corpulency, was much
disturbed in mind by his tendency to ever
increasing stoutness. He tried many rem
edies. At length a friend suggested that
he should take a course Of treatment at
certain hot springs. He Immediately set
out for the place, sojourned for a few
weeks at it, managed to get rid OF a good
deal of superfous flesh, and returned
home in a most happy and %jocular frame
of mind, relates an exchange.
On the first morning after his return,
when he was vending his way to the
courthouse. he came to the butcher shop
where his family We're supplied with meat.
Marching inside. he said:
"Cut me off 20 pounds of pork"
The butcher sharpened his knife and at
once complied. The judge looked at the
meat for a minute or two and then walked
off.
"Shall I send the pork to your house, my
lord?' inquired the butcher. who felt that
the judge had overlooked instructions.
ooh, no." was the reply, given with a
smile. 81 don't want it. / have fallen off

THE DIFFERENTIATED FAMILY.
Evidence at The Krause Inquest Shows That
He Feared He Would Do
as He Did.

st. Louis, March 14.-August
Krause, the farmer living two miles
south of Bellefontaine, st. Louis coun-
ty and 81 miles from st. Louis, who
killed his wife and six children with
a stone-hammer Thursday, and then
cut his own throat, is dead, surviving
only a short while after committing
the crime.
Coroner Otto. Koch of st. Louis
county stated at the inquest that it
was his belief that the infant vas
spared until the last, the wife being
killed first. The faces of all his vic
times bore a frightened look, and
shawls were found over the heads of
two of the girls, who, it is believed,
were about to run away, when the
father laid them low with his ham
mer.
Only the baby was smiling in death,
and its little head, though bruised
and blackened, appeared almost as if
asleep. AS the crowds of neighbors
viewed the row of dead bodies yester-
day, the smiling infant caused men
and women to burst into tears.
Fear of becoming permanently in
sane is believed to have been the mo-
tive which actuated the fearful butch
cry. Krause saw a ST. Louis physi-
clan Wednesday, according to MEM
bers of his fathers family, and was
told that his mental ailment was
hopeless, and that he could not be
cured.
The ex~terminated family was COM
posed of eight members, father,
mother, and six children. The moth
er was Mrs. Lizzie Rice Krause. She
was 3S years old. August Krause, the
father, was 40 years and II months
old. The children-were:
Carrie, aged H.; Emma, aged nine;
Phillip, aged seven; George, aged six;
Genevieve, aged three and Fred, aged
four months.
From the evidence introduced at
the coroner's inquest yesterday, it
was shown that August Krause, the
st. Louis murderer and suicide, had
feared he would commit such a crime
as that of Thursday night, and often
in the night he and his wife would
kneel besides their bed and pray for
strength to prevent the maniac aris-
ing within him.
