"Sophy, will you go?' said Dade furi-

Miss Sallie sprang forward and twined
her arms about her sister.
''Sophy," she said, "Sophy darling. You
can't leave this way. Think of father, Of
the honor Of our women"
Slowly Sophy slid to her knees and buried
her face in her sisters dress.
Through the darkness Olmstead came
down and stood in front OF the door.
Then all at once Miss Sophy got up from
the floor and went over to her lover.
Don" she said, dear Don. Go away
now. You know 1 love you, and shall al

and then with a look at Olmstead, slipped
out through the big door to the porch.
He followed her, and they walked back
and forth in the darkness.
What do you think of us?" said Miss
Sallie. The pale moon shone on her up

Dade came out Of the big door and mounted
his horse. He rode up to the porch, Miss
Sophy rested her cheek for a minute against

rode away.

But Olmstead held her back. Gould you

No Needless School HOLIDAYS.
From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
At the threshold of new school year
most auspiciously opening the Post deems
1t proper to make one complaint as to the
past, and to express the hope that the
cause of 1t may not be repeated. Including
the long summer vacation and the shorter
suspension of the schools in the holiday
season, together with several other holidays
and every Saturday, the working time of
the year is quite sufficiently reduced.
When one reflects on the amount of work
required to secure even fair average COM
mon school education in these times, be-
cause Of the additions to the curricula ne
cessitated by the progress of science and
the arts, the force of protest against need
less special holidays is apparent And it
should not be forgotten that the lower
grades of our schools afford all Of the edu-
cationaT facilities that large majority Of
the pupils can ever have.
The closing Of the school houses against
30 600 boys and girls-making a special holi-
day for this grand army Of young STU
dents-should not occur save upon eXcep-
tionally great occasions Divide 5000 days
by the number of days in school year. and
you have a clear idea of the result of an
extra holiday. We trust that the record Of
this year will not be marred by any mis-
take in this serious matter.

slums have been especially laid out with
secret runways for the thugs when they
are in action. The Cherry Hill gang, 1t Is
said, can slip across several blocks by
paths which are virtually undiscoverable.
A policeman has hard time getting close
to a fugitive. Guards are posted at street
corners to give signals and when the alarm
is sounded on the approach of an officer,
either in uniform or in plain clothes, the
men who are wanted disappear and can
not be found. A veritable reign Of terror
prevails over these areas of the city. Time

parts of Washington. making certain neigh

a fairly complete clearing out Of the ruff

have been very largely purified.

From the New York Herald.
Today the sun on its southwark journey

cally over. With the arrival Of the equinox
it was once supposed that great storms

gale was always expected to occur colnci-

meteorology than that about the time Of
the autumnal equinox there is a general

or SO before or after the equinox, but as a
rule they actually do come with very I'M

A Parker German Understanding

dent. Clark Howell of the Atlanta Consti-

Politics and Wireless Telegraphy.

Wireless biography has Just performed
service which should commend it strongly
to those politicians who travel by sea.
George B. Mcclellan left home in March
last and spent six months in European
travel. He was not of course out Of reach
of newspapers, or the mail, or the tele-
graph. and he was probably kept fairly well
advised of what was taking place in the
political world of New York. His friends
have been talking about him for the may
orally nomination for some time, and this
must have reached him. He doubtless knew
on the day he sailed from the other side
the latest speculation about the local situa-
ton; what the fusionists for their part
were doing, and what Tammany for it's
part was hoping to do.
But while Mr. Mcclellan was afloat some
very important developments took place.
Things assumed a far livelier phase on all
sides. The Low people grew aggressive.
Mr.. Jerome touched off his firecracker. The
Brooklyn democrats increased the energy
of their protest against Mr.. Mcclellan.
Leader Murphy increased his activity in
Mr. McClellan's behalf All of this was
important. and the gist of it was communi-

The reporters were on hand in force.
They are rarely late, and never unequipped
for their mission. Mr.. Mcclellan faced the
music with equanimity. He had been at
sea. but he was not "at sea" now. He had
a tolerably correct notion of the way mat
tiers were shaping themselves; and although
in a diplomatic manner he answered some
questions by asking questions his replies as
a rule were exceedingly happy. The inter-
view when printed showed the clever poll
tician throughout. He was politely un-
satisfactor as his party and his warmest
admirers could have desired. He fenced at

The Coal Extortion.
From the Boston Transcript.

ITHHSCflpt.
In spite of all the coal investigations" of
last winter and the fact that 1t was then
generally considered that the famine"
caused by the strike of the miners warrant
ed the high price Of coal, appearances gen.
orally point to a repetition, upon a smaller
scale, of the scheme of extortion then prac-
ticed upon the American people. Coal is
selling at the mines of the Independent op-
orators at 35 per ton, as against the price
Of 81 per ton for domestic sizes In Boston
Scotch anthracite coal of good quality Is
selling in Canada for So. so ton, but Boston
dealers refuse to handle 1t. The statutes of
Pennsylvania forbid railroad companies
from engaging in coal mining, but no at
tempt has yet been made to enforce the
law. If the present policy of extortion con-
tinues, through the storing of coal and the
holding back for high prices, it is only a
question of time when the indignant Ameri-
can people will apply the remedy.
