comment, and this extraordinary pre-

not heretofore known to the public, OF
information received by the authorS

Roosevelt in this city.

Lie Tied in a Knot.

Life Tied In a Knot.
One morning soon after the New
Year, Hyde was returning to the
Manor House from New York. It was
a day to Cypress thought, and tighten
the heart, and kill all hope and energy.
There was a monotonous rain and
sky like that Of past age-solemn
and leaden-and the mud of the roads
was unspeakable. He was compelled
to ride slowly and TO feel in It's full
force, as It were, the hostility OF Ma
ture.
But when he reached home and his
valet had seen to his masters refresh
ment in every possible way, Hyde was
at least reconciled to the idea OF liv-
ing little longer. At least there was
Annie. Annie was always glad to see
him, and he had great respect for
Annie's opinions.
He heard her singing as he ap-
preached the drawing room, and he
opened the door noiselessly and went
in. He did not in any way disturb
her. She ceased when the hymn was
finished and sat still q few moments
realizing, as far as she could, the
glory which doth not yet appear. TheL
he stood up and she came towards
him. Hyde placed her in chair be
fore the IRE, and then drew his Owl
chair to her side.

New York: Il was learned Friday
Ghat Joseph Letter, who figured so con-
spicnousIy in the famous wheat corner
az 1897 and 1898, has made a PROPOSE
6i0n TO his creditors to settle their
claims against him for 20 cents on the
SaoIInr.
This fact destroys the popular i'm
TresHIon heretofore that Levi y. Letter,
the father OF Joseph, had settled all
tho Indebtedness incurred by his SON
In the collapse of the wheat corner
An June, 1898.
Besides the creditors themselves,
but few knew that every claim had
not been satisfied. The fact that there
are still heavy claims against young
lI.eIter is demonstrated by his proposi-
dion to creditors.
This is made through an attorney,
and 1t Is specified that all claims shall
be presented and all creditors agree to
accept 20 cents on the dollar in full
satisfaction OF all claims. The sugges-
Gion is conveyed in the statement to
the creditors that the alternative, in
the event of this offer not being &C.
>cepted, will be for Mr.. Letter to go
through bankruptcy proceedings.
At is understood that the senior Lett.
. or will guarantee that this proposition
will be carried out. But some OF the
p creditors are not at all inclined to ac-
cept this proposition, and 1t would
seem from the method taken to lay
the proposition before them that Lett.

Yosemite National Park.
Ahwahnes, CAL: President Roose-
welt and party arrived here at 11:15
Friday morning in stages, completing
the first half OF their journey to the
big tree country Luncheon was
served here The ride from Raymond
was a dusty one, and the members of
the party presented q bedraggled APP
pearance as the coaches drove up to
the station. At Grub gulch the Pres
ideDt was presented with flowers by a
number OF little girls. He aligbted
from the stage and shook hands with
his small admirers and spoke few
words Of greeting to the grown-up
folks assembled there.
After partaking of luncheon at An.
wahnes the President began to ascend
the mountains. The day was perfect,
bright and clear, and as he went high
er and higher he saw the plain Of San
Joaquin stretching to the far distant
coast range He arrived at the en-.
trance OF the Mariposa big tree grove
at 4 o'clock, where he was met by a
detachment of soldiers and two forest
rangers with two saddle horses. The
President rode among the grand Sc
quotas and through the park on horse
back, accompanied by John Muir, who
is familiar with the big tree country
and the Yosemite National Park.
An exciting incident occurred during
the ride from Ahwahnes to the big
tree grove. A small forest FIRE was
raging close to the trail, causing a
heavy pail Of smoke to obscure the
road. The trail at this place runs
along a steep side of the mountain.
The driver never faltered. He lash
ed tho horses and the President was
soon out OF the fire zone.

So the 1Irld went on, but Cornelia's
heart stood still, and at the end OF the
third week things came to this--her
father looked at her keenly one morn
ing and sent her instantly to bed.

mother. why have you said nothing

we cannot spare her. She must pass
alone through the Valley of the

this sorrow in its dreadful paths"
This was the battle waged in DR..
Moran's house for many awful weeks.
One day, while she was in extremity,
the doctor went himself to the aputhe-
cary's for medicine. AS he came out
of the store with it in his hand, Hyde
looked at him with a steady impIOFa-
ton. He had evidently been waiting
his exit.
"Sir!" he said, Il have heard a re-
port that / cannot, l dare not be-

Then, sir, let me tell you, that your
behavior has been so brutal to her,
and to me, that the Almighty shows
both Kindness and intelligence in TAX
ing her away"-and with these words
uttered In a blazing passion of indig-
nation and pity, the young lord crossed
to the other side OF the street, leaving
the doctor COMPOUNDED by his words
and manner.
There is something strange here"
he said to himself; the fellow may be
as bad as bad can be-, but he neither
looked nor spoke as.if he had wronged
Cornelia. II she lives / must get to
the bottom Of this AFFAIR"
With this admission and wonder.
the thought of Hyde passed from his
mind, for at that hour the issue he
had to consider was one of life or
death. And although If. was beyond all
hope or expectation, COrnelia came
back to life. But She was perilously
delicate, and the doctor began to
consider the dangers of her GONZALES
Vence.
Ava" he said one, evening when
Cornelia had been downstairs awhile,
1T will not do for the, child to run the
risk Of meeting that man. He spoke
to me once about her, and was out

thing strange in the affair, but how

1T is impossible. Can you quarrel

Cornelia? You must bear and must

But though hts mother gave him a
final charge ito make haste" he went
slowly. The thought of Cornelia had
returned to his memory with a sweet,
strong insistance that carried all be-
fore it. He wondered If she was suf-
fering-if she thought he was suffer-
ing-if she was sorry for him.
Poor Cornelia! She was at that mo-
ment the most unhappy woman in
New York. She had excused the
ten words" he might have written
yesterday. She had found in the un-
expected return of his father and
cousin reason sufficient for his neg
lect; but it was now past ten o'clock
of another day, and there was yet no
word from him. The tension became
distressing. She longed for her
father-for a caller for any one to
break this unbearable pause in life.
Yet she could not give. up hope. A
score of excuses came into her mind;
she was sure he would come In the
afternoon. He must come. Then as
hour after hour slipped away, she
was compelled to drop her needle.

holding despair at bay so many hours
she could bear 1t no longer.

that the slave might have lost the let
