A Test Of Courage.
By John II. Raftery.

Worthington Cheever, the
president of the Banco del
Prado of Bogota, was sitting in
his private Office sliclng open
his private mail. Most of it
was from New York, for Mr..
Cheever was an old Broadway
beau, and many a pink and pale
blue envelope, exhaling dainty
perfumes, had found him in his
strange environments in South
America. He had been there
but six months, and his seCre-
teries and assistants had found
out that the words New York
or Omitted States" on any
body's card was certain to win
an audience from their new
chief.
"SenoT James Trefny, of New
York, would wish that he may
speak with you, senor," said
the voiced Office boy in
dulcet Spanish accents.
THANK you, Emilio. Show
the gentleman in," said Presi,
dent Cheever. with a look OF
pleased anticipation, though he
could not remember having
ever met or heard of the visi'
tor.
The young man who came in
was perfectly attired in well
fitting fiannels. In the pale
buff stock about his neck was a
fine gold scarf pin set with dia,
monds. Upon his finger a splen,
did solitaire sparkledin heavy
gold band. His hat was in his
hand and Mr.. Cheever noticed
the singularly calm, uncon-
scious beauty of his manly head
and face. He was dark with
the tar of the sea, but his thick
fine hair was carefully arrapg.

and courage. Cheever liked
his looks and showed his wei

MS ldentlhcatlon, q messenger
was dispatched for the magis-
trate, who presently arrived to
begin an inquiry. When the
court was thus installed, and
the prisoner put under oath,
this odd criminal explained
matters thus:

''Why, my dear sir, that check

.SP[CULATFS ON
HER SOUL And DIES
Miss Anna Poston. Actress.
Shoots Herself as an End
to Trouble.

CHICAGO, July 29.-Miss Annie
Poston, an actress, twenty-four years
old shot and killed herself today in a
room at the Inter Ocean hotel. Miss
Sally Price, her roommate, said that
Miss Poston had been grieving over
something for the last two weeks and
had made frequent references to sui
eide, asking what would become of her
soul if she destroyed herself Miss
Price replied that such an act would
result in eternal punishment. Miss
Poston then asked:
What have done that my soul
should be tormented on this earth and
go condemned into the next?"
A muff1ed shot was heard in the ho-
tel this afternoon and when the door
of Miss Poston's room was broken open
her body was found lying across the
bed with blood flowing from bullet
wound above the heart.
From letters found in Miss Poston's
possession the police learned that she
had a sister, Mrs. Hattie Weinne, liv-
ing in Binghamton, N. Y.

ENGLISH BANKER QUOTES
PRESIDENT M'KINLEY
Testimony on the Necessity for the Re-
duction of the Tariff.

LONDON, July 29.-Gov. F. o.
Schuster. at meeting of the Union
Bank of London, limited, today made
a reference to the British fiscal con-
troversy, which met with the approval
of large gathering of citizens. While
he welcomed an inquiry into the fiscal
policy Of the government. the whole
tenor of Mr. Schuster's remarks was
opposed to tampering with free trade.
He expressed the belief that the
United States was within measure
able distance of adopting free trade, ;"
and in support of this said he had a
private interview with the late Presi-
dent Mckinley, two years ago, in
which the latter said:
my tariff bill has done it's work.
We have been able to build many great
industries in short time, and now
gradually, but Inevitably, our tariff
must be reduced"
Mr.. SchuSter contended that Ameri-
cas- industrial position under protec-
ton was mot entirely attractive, nor
are its workingmen contented."
