ALL IN THE sTILLY NIGHT.
EmaEdnatiOn Got the Better of Judg-l
 ment in Blibmore's Case and fts Made Him Ridiculous.

Blibmore had long been afflicted with acute burglaritis. Not that any body had ever tried to enter his house feloniously and tangibly, but many masked desperado had bro- ken into his imagination and robbed him of much valuable sleep. Hardly night passed that he did not have a rush of burglars to the head as he went about, fastening windows, set- ting electric alarms and tilting chairs in the passageways so they would tumble over and make 8 racket If anybody touched them, says the Brooklyn Eagle.
 t'ParmeIia,' he said to his wife one night, s'have you been up to see if the girls window is 1ocked?"
 ''No, nor I ain't a-goin'; that's more," Mrs. Blibmore answered, sharply, from her pillow. ''Sakes alive! How could anybody git in at a third story window? Do you ex- pect lem to come with f1yin' ma chines?''
 '.All right said Blibmore, re- signedly. '1 can stan it if you can But when you git<up some mornin' an find your silver spoons gone, don't come to me for any more."
 Joshua Blibmore, you've been say in that for the las 20 years, an' we've got them same spoons yet. Goodness gracious! I most wish the burglar'd hurry up and git 'em, so's to have it over with"
 BIibmore slept very little that night; and even that little was trou- bled by dreams of burglars letting themselves down to the girls win dow from the roof or climbing up to it with 4o-foot ladders. Some time after midnight, as he lay awake lis- tening, he thought he heard noise downstairs. Slipping cautiously into the upper hall, he leaned over the banister and harked. Yes, he was sure he heard the sibilant sounds of whispers below.
 Tip-toeing back to the bedroom, he closed the door noiselessly and awoke his wife.
 s'Shi Parmelia,'' he whispered, "the house is full of burglars!"
 "Stuff and nonsenset" said Mrs. Blibmore, who had heard the same remark many times before. "Do, for mercy's sake, git into bed an go to sleep.''
 "But, Parmelia, tell you there are burglars downstairs. heard 'em."
 ''Well, why don't you go down an chase 'em out? You don't want me to do it. for you, do you?" With which the good woman turned over and resumed her slumber.
 Blibmore, revolver in hand, stole out to the hall and listened again. This time he heard no sound, save the measured ticking of the dining room clock. As minutes of silence passed, he began to doubt whether what he had heard before was really in the house. It might have been 9 street car; trolleys sometimes make hissing noises that at a distance may be mistaken for whispers close at hand Somewhat emboldened by this thought, he went softly down the stairs, stopping often to hark with bated breath. At the dining room door he stood. we'll behind the easement, and peered cautiously into, the room. The light. which he al-.

SECOND FIGHT OF : 3:: 5::::::::,, s::::::: ::::: :::;:., THE MONITOR HERO

FebrssGrY
 2 8. 1865

Copyright, 1903, by G. L. Kilmer.l tN N the 18th of February, 1863, M M Captain John l.. Worden, the @ @ hero of the Monitor Merrimac
 battle, won fresh laurels with
 new and improved type of ironclad While attacking Fort McAl- lister, Ga, with the Montauk, one of Captain Ericsson's later creations, he incidentally wiped out with hot shot the Confederate cruiser Nashville, the first armed cruiser put afioat by the south.
 Worden's injuries in the fight with the Merrimac disabled him for several months. He joined Dupont's south Atlantic squadron in January, 1863, with the Montauk and lost no time in testing the new war engine. Admiral Dupont's task was to maintain a blockade against Charleston and keep the enemy's ships from carrying arms or supplies from England to the pent- up Confederacy. McAllister stood at the mouth of the Ogeechee river on the Georgia coast to guard the chan nel and shield the movements of Con- federate blockade runners using that entrance, one of the few which the Federals had not securely closed. 1t was at the southern extremity of the coast region which Dupont was at tempting to subjugate.
 At the time of Worden's arrival the Confederate cruiser Nashville was up the Ogeechee river watching for a chance to elude Dupont's vigilant fleet and get to sea. The ship had already made history as daring blockade runner. She was fine, swift side wheel steamer built for trade between New York and Charleston. The Con- federates seized her after the fall of Sumter, and she was sent out asa ship pounder guns and a crew of forty men. In October, 1861, she ran the Federal blockade out of Charleston and won the distinction of flying the first Con- federate flag in British waters. She captured and burned Yankee ship in the entrance of the British channel and was held under surveillance by the United States warship Tuscarora for several weeks.
 In February, 1862, the Nashville was again in American waters and by a daring trick ran through the Federal blockading fleet into Beaufort, N. O.. Running the fire of Burnsides block ading ships off Beaufort she put in at Georgetown, s. O., where she was turned over to private owners and un- der changed name had an exciting career as a blockade runner, flying the

Lady with Pink Teeth.

The newest turn in Partisan music halls will shortly be the appearance of a lady with pink teeth. She is na- tive of Canton, but born of French parents. Her teeth, which are perfect, are of a semi-transparent substance resembling pale-colored coral. A dentist who has examined them says that they will never decay. They are hard as diamonds, and the latter gems are the only material with which a mark can be made on their surface.

Leroy and Clayton, who offer the principal act, have funny comedietta entitled Hogan of the Hansom'' that is said to have more laughs than could be crowded into the biggest hansom ever made Both are old time vaudeville stars, and the frequency with which their names are seen on the Keith, Proctor and Orpheum circuits as head liners is the best evidence that can be given of their ability.

Bookbinders Give Up Hopes of Sc
curing Ruling in Miller Case
From Public Printer.
They Therefore Ask Roosevelt to In
tervene-Doubtful, However,
If He Will Do So.
New York Sun Special Service.


Washington, Aug. 25.-The Bookbind-
ers' union, despairing of ever securing
action, unfavorable or otherwise, from
Public Printer Palmer ON their charges
against w. A. Miller of the government
printing office, has decided to submit its
case to President Roosevelt. A commit
tee of the binders called at the depart
ment Of commerce and labor to-day and
handed Secretary Cortelyou copies of al
the charges, affidavits and evidence con-
nected with the Miller case and requested
the secretary to transmit the papers tc
Oyster Bay. Mr.. Cortelyou promised tc
do so. .:r--....-.. .
People in Washington cannot see what
the binders will accomplish by this pro-
cess. 1t is well Known that ever since the
question Of Foreman Mi1ler's reinstate-
ment was raised the president has beer
fully informed as to the progress Of the
case. BY his order, Secretary Cortelyou
has forwarded copies of every paper filec
in the case to the president.
Mr.. Roosevelt has not believed that
there was anything in the charges against
Miller and for that reason, it is said, he
ordered the public printer to go slow ii
the case. The president thought that by
letting the affair drop gently he would
avoid stirring up unnecessary trouble II

unions apparently want to ''smoke him

PRESS LITTLE JOKE
It Has Some Fun With a st. Paul
Paper Which Attacked
Frank Eddy.
Danger of Political Alignment Gov

and Features.
From The Journal Bureau, Room IS, Post Build

From The Journal Bureau, Room IS, Post Build
ing, Washington.
Washington, Aug. 25.-The Philadelphia
Press, in a column editorial this morning,
humorously discusses the Pioneer Press
attack on former Representative Frank
Eddy, who wants to be governor, because
he is not a handsome man. The, Press
says the argument that the governor shall
fit the furniture and frescoes Of the new
capitol is a new doctrine in American
plays, and that the USUAL tests are cap
ability, popularity sahd' regular party
standing, the questions of co1nliness and
dress not usually entering into the argu-
ment.
The old rule that handsome is as hand
some does, the Press thinks should not
be abrogated, even in Minnesota. The
editorial says in closing:
Every body will lsympathize with that
states desire to have, the dedication Of it's
new capitol pass off with all appropriate
eclat. 1t would be a mistake, for instance,
to elect man governor who would ap-
pear on Inauguration day in a, sack coat,
blue flannel shirt and trousers bagging at
the knees. Such a man would not fit in
with the furniture and the frescoes..
Still, all due propreties can be OBJ
served In Minnesota without establishing
the precedent that only handsome men are
to be elected to office. Any attempt in
that way would at once cause a division
of the voters into ths handsome men and
the homely mems parties, and as the lat
ter are largely in the majority, the hand
some men would have no chance of OBJ
tanning office-that is, unless woman SUI
frage should be established

s1sslpp1 is about to be cut, and 100000
acres, after IS per cent of the pine has
been cut, will become forest reserve.
Five per cent of the pine on such reserve
Is to be under the supervision of the
forester of the department of agriculture,
put the superintendent who is to carry
out the regulations is appointed by the
interior department. The purchaser is to
Eburn or remove enough of the tops and
reruse to prevent danger to timber left
standlng, under rules of the secretary of
the Interior The latter appoints the men
who are to scale the logs, and as the In
dams are to be paid for the number of
feet that the logs scale, it Is of vital i'm
portance that the scalers be men of in
tegrity and skill The pine Is worth sew
eral million dollars, and it's disposal is
so blended with forestry that the business
will be watched by this association with
special interest.
Last year the interior department tenn
porarily withdrew from market about $780,
700 acres OF land in Cook and Lake coun-
ties, Minnesota, as the Lake Superior for
est reserve. It is a region of fine scenery
rich In beautiful lakes and streams well
stocked with game and fur bearing ami
mails, and better adapted for forestry
purposes than for agriculture. It is I'M
derstood that future examination of the
land by the United States bureau of for
estry will determine whether it shall be
permanently created as a forest reserve.
THE stone and timber act of congress
under which the most valuable tracts Of
timber have for years and are now being
obtained from the United States at $3.50
per acre was cunningly devised for the
benefit of the Spectator. No member
of congress should be content to let the
law remain unrepealed.
| Valuable timber is being constantly OBJ
tanned fraudulently under the homestead
law. To remedy these evils, the remain
ing public timber on non agricultural
| lands should be constituted forest reserves
and administered on forestry principles.
"The act Of congress Of 1891 authorizes
the president to create forest reserves of
| such public lands as are better adapted
for forest than for agriculture. Under
this law 60,0Oo,oo0 acres of mostly noun
famous lands has been established as for
est reserves in the past twelve years.
Forestry indeed is making mighty strides,
and it ought to do so, for behind it are

Without the knowledge Of either Miss
Russell or Mr.. Einstein, the young couple
quietly boarded a train, accompanied by
Roland J. Koch, friend, and went direct
to Jersey City, where arrangements had
been made for the marriage ceremony to

AS quietly as they had made their de-

have since been known as Mr.. and Mrs.

they learned Of their childrens' marriage,
all has now been forgiven. Altho the
young bride became engaged to Mr..

were wed, they have been SO much to-
