tholemei, confectioner, was robbed of $7,37S by confidence men, who led him to believe that he was arranging for the adoption of the daughter of an Italian prince who eventually would
 bring him $5O,oOO. The transaction took place in a down town hotel, and half an hour after leaving the agents Bartholemei iscovered that he had ex- changed a bag containing the above amount for a bag, filled with paper. De- tectives have searched in vain for the perpetrators of the fraud

 You don't look we'll this morningi old girl, Mason surprised her by say- ing one morning, when Elisabeth wass kept in her room by a cold and theU were eating their meal in cheerlesq silence.
 Dredging her memory for some read son to which to ascribe this sudden solicitude on his part, she forgot tc4i answer him. After a moment he re- peated his observation-casua enough in itself.
 .You are not looking well, this morning, Julie"
 Mrs. Mason looked up quicklyx Was this the first time during the winy ter he had noticed her ill-Iooks, she wondered.

 to the house.

PROTOCOLS TO COME
A Third Set Will Deal With
 The Hague Tribunal
A JOINT CONFERENCE TO BE HELD
Minister Bowen will See That Vene- xueIa's Rights Are Protected. He Is Not Likely to Ats
 tend the Court.

tend the Court.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 19-In diplo- patic circles and among state depart ment officials considerable attention is being paid to the provisions of the third set of protocols, The Hague pro tocols, which will have to do exclusive ly with the setting in motion of the tribunals cumbersome machinery. These protocols, in addition to defining the scope of the arbitration, also will stipulate the number of arbitrators to be selected
 In order that Venezuela may go to The Hague on the same footing as the peace powers having claims against her it is expected the rough draft of The Hague protocol will be decided upon at joint conference between MT. Bow en and the representatives here of the powers. Secretary Hay will represent the United States at this conference, and it is the wish of the other repre- sentatives that he shall preside. This meeting will not be called until all of the second set of protocols have been signed.
 It does not seem at all probable at this time that MT. Herbert w. Bowen, the United States minister to Vene- zuela, will go to The Hague in connec- tion with the movement to have that tribunal determine whether or not the European allied governments which maintained a blockade of Venezuelan ports shall have preferential treatment in the payment of the claims of their citizens against Venezuela. If MT. Bow ems pleasure in the matter were con- suited the likelihood is that he would participate in the proceedings before The Hague tribunal, but he is not will ing to resign his position as minister to Venezuela for that purpose, and the rules of the state department prohibit the granting of more than sixty days leave of absence in any one year to diplomatic officers.
 The impression also obtains that the state department is not overanxious for MT. Bowen to attend, as his pres ence at The Hague might cause a be- lief that the United States is ,overzeal- ous in behalf of Venezuela.

NEW BUILDING NEEDED.
Department of Commerce. Without
 Headquarters.


 WASHINGTON, Feb. 19. = Repre- sentative Mercer of Nebraska, chair man of the house committee on public buildings and grounds, has conferred with Secretary Cortelyou concerning a building for the new department of commerce and labor. The necessity for such building is urgent, as the de partment will be one of the largest in the government. Figures have been prepared showing in detail the amount of floor space which will be necessary for the various bureaus of the depart ment. These have indicated that a building suitable for the department is not available at present in the city.
 A proposition has been made tenta- lively that the government purchase the handsome building of the Southern railway at the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and Thirteenth street, which is one of the most copmodious office buildings in the city Southern railway officials are understood to be consider ing an offer to remove the general of fees of the system to Atlanta, Ga. 1t Is understood, however, that objection has been made that the building is not quite suitable either in size or style of architecture for the new department.
 Chairman Mercer indicated his pref erence for a new building to be erect ed expressly for the new department. He thought that if fairly adequate plans were presented the authorization of the building might be obtained from the present congress. Temporary quar- ters will have to be leased, and it is not likely that the Southern railway building will be considered. in this cop- uection.

TUNES MOTHER USED TO PLAY

"Oh yes, my daughter, dear, they say
 Your touch is great, your technique fine; The critics tell us that some day. " Accomplished little girl of mine You'll rank among the best, and, oh.
 I know 1t, but wish that they And you had heard, long, long ago,
 The tunes your mother used to play. ~You've had your foreign teachers, dear,
 And I've no doubt they understand; You've practiced on year after year,
 hear them say your style is grand; There's joy for me in every word
 The clever critics have to say, But, oh l wish you might have heard
 The tunes your mother used to play. ''Your white hands flash across the keys
 As If you'd rend the strings apart;S The critics rise in ecstasies
 And floods of joy surge through my heart; But still can't help wishing, dear,
 You'd put those foreign tunes away Just long enough to let me hear The tunes your mother used to play" -S. E. Riser, in Chicago Record-EIerald

German. Get Cold Shoulder.

MARACAIBO, Venezuela, Feb. 19.- The commander of the German cruiser Panther early yesterday morning sent a request to Fort San Carlos for au- thorization to enter the lake of Mara caibo. He was informed in reply that the matter would be referred to the Caracas authorities and that while awaiting their reply the Panther was to wait outside. This incident created fresh excitement here. At Porto Ga bello the officers of the German cruiser Vineta went on shore and visited In carriages all the city. They then went to Fort Solano, which was shelled by them Dec. 13, and asked to be allowed to visit the interior. The officer in command of the fort received them po- litely, but informed them that to visit the fort an order from the president was necessary.

THE LATEST IN ISJUNCTIOYS.

Mrs. F. Berge of Omaha is what is sometimes called a determined woman. She lives in an apartment house, and though her landlord wants her to move before the expiration of her lease she has decided that she wont. Moreover, she has been talking to the other ten- ants in a way calculated to excite hos tility to the landlord. She has disturb ed him so that he has finally gone to court and induced a judge to grant temporary injunction restraining her from talking with the other tenants of the establishment about him.
 This is as interesting use of the in- Junction as we have had lately, and it will be interesting to see how it works. There seems to be a general disposition to believe that no injunction can stop the wagging of Mrs. Berge's tongue, and it must be admitted that there is some basis for such belief. For Mrs. Berge is a woman, and being a woman she will feel that she ought to be allowed to say what she thinks about her land lord, and she may have such strong feeling about it that she wont mind the injunction. If she doesn't mind it she will have to be punished for contempt of court. If she is so punished she will feel all the contempt for which she is punished She may possibly conclude that it is wise not to talk, but if she does she. will still think, and those around her will almost be able to hear 1 her think.

Uncle Abner's Patriotism.

I'll say right plain here at the start that
 don't care q cuss For maxim Europe's kings afraid to shake
 their fists at us; It don't make this here country any glori-
 OuSer when We boast about the war ships or its bully
 fighting men; Just whoopin' don't make countries great,
 and wavin' flags l guess, Ain't hardly all the people need to give
 them happiness Dick Spears he used to rant and howl about
 our rocks and rills,
 our hills; He'd brag how he could lick the world, if
 it should come to that, And every time he seen flag he'd have to
 raise his hat: But that, as fur as I'm aware was ali he
 ever done To make this land the proudest land that's
 underneath the sun. They say when he was sheriff here he stole
 and schemcd to beat The county out of money-he would ruther
 cheat than eat They sold him out for taxes that they
 couldn't make him pay, And it made the public happy when he up
 and moved away; But for the grand old banner wavin' proud
 and wavin' high
 
 and bIepd and die" He figured that the army we could raise
 here right away Would be able to lick Europe tn about n
 half day; And he'd tell about the hardships of the
 people who have kings, And the blessin's and the gladness that the
 flag of freedom brings; But he cheated Widow Ransome out of
 nearly all she had. So the Stars and Stripes and freedom did.
 mt hardly keep her glad. At every celebration Dick was there to tell Of the heaven-g given blessins the American
 enjoys; He'd wrap the flag around him and he'd
 nearly have to weep When he spoke about the birthright that
 was given us to keep; He'd tell them of their duty to their glor-
 ious native land And mebby drink hard cider till he couldn't
 hardly stand. I don't believe that whoopin' or just gettin' About the country's greatness or salutin' of
 the flag Is all that's patriotic or does much to make
 the land We're Twin m more pleasant, or more pow.
 erful or grand; And it mightn't be the feller marchin' past the cheerin' crowd Who helps the most to make us good and
 great and justly proud. My notion may be foolish, and this fair land of the free Might bust if everybody was to take up my idee; But I cant help kind of thinkln' that the man who works away Treatin' other people justly, payin' debts he ought to pay, And not hardly even thinkin we could lick the world. perhaps May be just as patriotic as the flag -salutin' chaps.

MORE MELANCHOLY NEWS.

That is melancholy and dreary news which comes from Bridgeport. The people of this State are hardly quieted down after the Waterbury disturbance, when they must be agitated by similar outbreak in Bridgeport. All who appre- ciate the value and the necessity of law and order are tired of such news. They are tired of assaults on American insti- tutions, for that is what such outbreaks really are. They are tired of official in- efficiency and tired of indications that some of those wffo are set to guard the peoples rights are ready to "sympathet- ically'' betray them.
 Of course the strikers in Bridgeport deplore the violence, and perhaps none of them was foolish and wicked enough to have a direct or indirect part in it. It was found in Waterbury that there were foolish and wicked ones among the strikers. We hope that none of the Bridgeport strikers will be foolish and wicked, even if they are not found to be So. Their cause does not look hopeful, but if they want to persist they have a right to. If they do persist they should do all they can to prevent sympathizers from further injuring their cause by more such murderous villainy as show ed itself yesterday.
 Order will be restored and maintained in Bridgeport. and this latest labor trouble" will soon be over. But there should be clear perception of the fact that strikes with sympathetic violence will not help Labor in the long run There are already indications of turn l in the tide.
