Nm utterly alone!
WI Yesterday at the same
hour she sat in the same
chair; gazed at the glowing fire; saw
around her the same familiar objects
the pictures so tastefully hung,
each telling its story, not only of
face or scene portrayed, but of pre-
cious associations, of far-lands Wis
tied, of sweet home-memories; the
open piano across one corner; the
ornaments on the mantel-delicate
vases of dainty flowers, reflected in
the mirror; the rich, soft colors of
the rugs; bits of old-fashioned furni-
ture, and eve easy-chairs scat
tered here and there; books and mag
azines on tables and shelves-all
combining to make a beautiful room,
though one scarcely knew why, for
a subtle something, of individuality
and love of beauty, made all har-
monious.
Yesterday it was pleasant, and
pleasing to her sight, in harmony
with her thoughts; for was she not
waiting for a footstep-waiting for
one who filled her life, who made her
joy? To-day the house is the same;
there is no ~perceptible difference in
the perfectly ordered household, but
for her it has no beauty; it is as
colorless as a darkened room, for the
light has gone out of her life.
Only that morning "all was WELL"
Heller husband-had gone away, as
was his habit occasionally, on a bust

the reach of letters and kilograms.
Yet affection was strong in her heart.
1t had seemed unusually hard to part,
and even baby's tiny hands had
seemed to cling to his big fingers
more closely than their wont.
Take care of yourself, sweet
heart" he said, in a tremulous voice,
as though, strong man that he was,
it was no easy task to say ~"good-by"

long journeys"

 CASE IS CONTINUED
SAYS EDNA WALLACE HOPPER WAS MO- INTENDED TO BE HEIR OF JAMES DUNsMulR AND IS CROSS EXAMINED.

Victoria B. C., December 23-In the Hopper Dunsmuir will case today. Mrs. Agnew, who yesterday testified that AL exander Dunsmuir had always spoken to the effect that he intended James Duns- muir to be his heir, was examined at length by counsel for Edna Wallace Hopper. Mrs. Agnew said she was an in- innate friend of Mrs. Wallace, and that the latter had told witness she expected Alexander Dunsmur to marry her.
 That Dunsmuir had not married sooner. she said, was because he feared that his mother (who is an intervener in the easel would cut him off. The witness admit ted that there had been an arrangement between herself and Mrs. Alex Dunsmuir over some slight differences. She testified to having witnessed will made by Mrs. Wallace in 1888 or 1SS9 and said that when this will was shown Alexander Dunsmuir, he objected to it, stating he would not allow her to leave any of the property to Mrs. Hopper, and ended the interview by tearing up the will and throwing the pieces into the fire.
 J. J. Agnew. husband of the preced- ing witness, testified that Dunsmuir did not wish either Willie or Edna (Mrs Wa1laces chldren) to have any of his money, and that Dunsmuir intended his brother James to be his heir.

PERSONS MEET DEATH W
 GREAT WRECK ON LTHlORE AND OHIO
EXCITEMENT CONTINUES
 IN THE COTTON MARKETS

New York. December 2s.-Great activity and irreguarity marked the opening of the cotton market here today with prices showing wide and rapid fluctuations, First quotations were steady at decline of points to an advance of ' points. Cables were a shade disappointing, but the bull leaders were buying. Commis- sion house clients seemed to be on the bull side of the market. and tips were circulating that the big bulls intended to have the market on Il cents basis be- fore Christmas.
 After the call prices ruled very firm for time, butt soon broke sharply under heavy liquidation, encouraged by a rather reactionary tendency of New Or leans and expectations of a speculative setback. The declining tendency was soon checked. however, by a renewal of active bull support. and before the end of the first hour prices were again soar ing above all previous records. with July in New Orleans selling around 1i11 and the entire list in the local market show ing feversh strength.

 "I do not like the situation and am afraid it will involve us in an expensive and profitless war, but I have seen no way from the beginning except to ratify the treaty and make the best of it.
 Our government moved rather rapidly and with some precision when the insur- rection broke out, but Colombia was hold ing us up and undertook to rob us and we were committed to the building of the canal by the United States, and as some kind or government had been set up In Panama we were compelled to come to terms with that government. however, unstable or otherwise it may appear"

UNION PREDICTS TROUBLE

Chicago. December 23.-The struggle be- tween the Liverymens and Undertakers' | association and the Delivery Drivers un- ion, which for the past six days has seri- ously interferred with the burial of Chi eagos dead. as no hearses or carriages have been available for funerals is to be a fight to the finish, all efforts looking to a settlement of the strike by conclliation having been abandoned tonight.
 For the past two days the prospects of settlement by arbitration seemed bright. but today. the contendlng parties drifted farther apart than ever. and all peace ne- gotiatons have been declared off by the employees.
 At meeting of the employers affected by the strike, 1t was decided to open for business tomorrow morning on the open shop principle, and employ union or non- union men. Before this decision was reached, arrangements were made to petI- ton one of the circuit court judges the first thing tomorrow morning for an in- junction restraining the strikers from in- terfering with the business of the em- ployers. The conservative element at the
 
 ing of the stables, but was defeated. Tho conservatives proposed to make overtures to the strikers on an arbitration basis. This was not given heed by the more rad ical element.
 The union officials predict trouble when the "open shop plan is tried. In anticipation of opposition by the un- ion, the employers tonight called upon Chief of Police O'Nell for further police protection against violence and picketing. In reply Chief Nell said:
 ''The police have been ordered to ex- tend to you the utmost protection in car rylng on funerals. If you experience tho slightest trouble call up the nearest po- lice station, and if that does not help call me up."
 Chief o'NeilTs plan Is to have pqlIsefnen accompany all funerals in eabs.
 Members of the association said tonight that should the police fail to maintain order. the sheriff would be called upon for protection, and should that measure fail. the governor would be asked to supply militia.
 The police were notified tonight by two liverymen of the North Side that threats had been made that their carriages would be smashed if they tried to use them in funerals tomorrow. One livery compa- ny of Evanston has three funerals to- norroW' all TOT hose filll cemetery. AL ter being told that their vehicles would be smashed if they went upon the streets, the liverymen warned the relatives of the dead that it would be advisable for them to go to the cemetery by train.
 The bodies will, however. be taken in hearses,
 One of the largest funerals to be held tomorrow will be that of Detective Thomas Farnsworth, a member of the police department. Arrangements have been made for a large number of caf- riages and the police will guard the fun- eral.
