Another day of patience and trials!
But we have this rest hour-together."
They throw OF their troubles and talk
cheerily of very trivial things. Their
voices are tuned low and sweet. There
are long pauses and they look into
each others eyes and smile In shamed
pleasure.
One day passing boy In q uniform
like that of the man caught sight OF
the couple. The little fellow grinned
broadly; then he put his fingers to
his mouth and whistled. The man
saw him and nodded stifly, a deev
shadow of apprehension on his face.
Then he turned away. The boy grin
ned, and as long as he was In the
park kept the couple in view by twist.
ing his neck. Both the man and the
woman looked worried. They knew
it meant much painful joking for him
at the Office, where he sits upon .
bench with the boys.
After half an hour the man In the
uniform leaves the woman, pressing
her hand once more In parting. He
goes to the Office; she rises and turns
northward.
And the story? It must be guessed.
They come from the country. Per-
haps he married her there and came
to New York to make their fortunes.
He has no trade and not much
strength. No work came his way, and
he in seeking could find only this
errand boys job. He is very unhappy
by day, and so is the little faded wom'
an, and they are very poor. But they
have each other! :
Perhaps that isn't the story. Maybe
they are not married. And her people
live in the city; they object to this
little man-messenger with the patient
face. And she who loves him can
only see him for these minutes at
noon. Or, perhaps. it is far better.

them Sc cumbersome that they are
rarely used and only In services of
the most formal character. It is pre-
sumed from the style of the decora.
ton that they were made In Belgium.
They were made for a Roman cardinal
who was prince in his own right, for
use in his private oratory, and they
remained in the possession of his
family until five years ago, when Mr..
Morgan bought them at a private sale.
Old as these vestments are, and
they are almost as old as the history
Of America. the lustre of the satin 10
still unfaded and the sheen OF the
heavy gold lace is only slightly dim.

gold thread is so brilliant as to take
on the appearance of varying colors,
an effect that is heightened by the
countless flowers embroidered In pale
,,nts that have lost only little Of
their freshness.

Two Similar Careers.

It is rather a peculiar coincidence
that the early days of two such well
known theatrical celebrities as Henry
Arthur Jones and Wilson Barrett
should have been so curlously similar
Each is the son of a farmer, and the
parents were so strongly prejudiced
against theatres that their sons were
forbidden under heavy penalties. to en-.
ter their doors. In spite of such dis.
couragement, however. both have be.
come famous In the theatrical world.

washington, d. Ex-senator Teller
has concluded his speech in opposition
to the Cuban reciprocity bill, and Sena-
tor Morgan also made speech in op-
position to that measure.
Mr.. Morgan took occasion to refer
frequently to the Panama canal treaty
and in that connection again freely
idential usurpation."
He spoke of the negotiations OF the
Panama canal treaty as a grotesque
act and declared that Panama had mo
more right to appoint a minister to the
United States than that you had to
consecrate a saint"
"IIe came" the senator said, "as a
swift-winged messenger OF falsehood.
dispatched on his mission by the Pan
anna canal company"
Mr.. Morgan said that the United
States is practically at war with Col
Ombia as the result of the fact that the
President had fallen into trap.
He wanted, he said, to save the

ferred to Mr. Bunau-Varilla, the Pam
anna minister, and after reviewing
briefly that gentlemans history as an
engineer and contractor on the Pan
ANA canal, said that he had contract
cd wisely and well and had left the
jsthmus rich man."
Mr.. Morgan said that his whole pur-
pose was to warn the senate against
ratifying a treaty, the negotiation of
which he characterized as "a most
wretched, most abominable, and a
most horrible transaction"
Notwithstanding this was the case. "
the senator continued, ''the senate
sleeps over this breach Of the Monroe
doctrine while the president Of France
and the President of the United States
stand over the recumbent figure and
.ntone in unison their solemn and sat-
lsfied amen"
He expressed the opinion that the
Sost of the Panama canal in its early
stages would be 80 great as to cause
congress to stop the appropriations
made before the enterprise had gone
far and thus accomplish the purpose OF
the transcontinental railways In pre-
venting the construction of any canal.
Discussing the presidents message,
he said the chief executive had failed
to execute the Spooner law because 1t
was distasteful to him, and declared
that he had not succeeded in formulat-
sns ANY satisfactory excuse se-for..-hie
course.
He predicted that the time would
come when Cuba would "clip the
threads that restrain her and bind her
to us, and again float off into the sea
Of liberty"
'Tn such an effort" he continued,
Cuba might find friend in Germany,
which might follow our example and
create a state OF independence in a
night and then annex it with the COM

who had bowed his head as he said,

Mr.. Morgan, reverting again to Cuba,
said:
Our relations with that island ought
to remain as they are, so far as our
economic policy is concerned, or she
ought to. be admitted as a state"
