He ordered the cabin-man to bring
nis breakfast on deck, and a cloth was
laid upon the skylight. While he was
eating Laura came out Of the cabin
and stood opposite to him. She was
as pale as dead body, and her beauty
had that sort of droop and lusterless-
ness which you observe In the plum
age OF glorious birds wnen they
sicken.
Have you breakfasted?" said he.
i cannot eat" she answered. ooh,
cousin, why did you kill him?"
He stared at her in silence with a
dark rrown, chewing his food like a
Illuminating bull. She was afraid of
his gaze and said with a change of
voice and even of manner: M
NOW that l am under your protec-
ton you will tell me what you mean
to do"
"Yes," he, answered, 81 will tell
you. When the brig is clear of those
villains" says he, with a sideway
drop OF his head, II will steer you to
your fathers house. We are now
lying straight course for Kingston,
Jamaica. You shall be sent ashore
with a communication from me to
your father, who will come on board
II ne refuses to help me shall know
how to manage single-handed. Mean
while you will be safe, but / shan't ex.
pect you to thank me-"
The captains servant came from
the cabin to attend to Crystals wants.
He said to him:
Make a neat job of the corpse, and
take care to double shot 1t; well bury
him through the cabin window, you
and me alone"

Literary production is thing so va ried, as exemplified by the output of distinguished authors, that 1t is impos- sible to arrive at any general rules governing it.. Apart from the quality of literary work, the bulk and rapidity of it's creation seem, indeed, to differ with almost every individual scribe, says writer in Golfers. There are for instance, Dumas the elder and Lewis Carroll. The name of the first appears on over six hundred volumes many published with the assistance of coIlaborators or even untouched by their reputed author. Still, his fertil- ity was enormous. Of Carroll, on the other hand one knows only that he wrote two small books entitled "Alice in Wonderland" and Through the Looking Glass" As to contrasting rates of speed, take the cases of two living writers, both Americans, Henry James and Marion Crawford MT OTdWuOTu WTlIeS IlhS DlSlIuluS.t I1S can turn out his five thousand or more words per day without flinching, and without prejudice to an agreeable, smoothly flowing, correct style. Hen ry James, immensely precise and scru- pulous, is satisfied if he does one page, at his best, in day. The method of De Maupassant, who died when he was forty, was similar. He tortured himself remorselessly to get the right phrase and even the right word, and rewrote one of his best stories six times. A British author of our own day, who has not been before the pub lie very long, seems to be a sort of De ,Maupassant as regards carefulness. This is Maurice Hewlett, who wrote his Forest Lovers" four times before he would intrust it to the printer. As a direct opposite, let us mention the French poet De Banville; he composed a lengthy lyrical poem while being shaved. ...

Speaking of the trolley strike and the bad effects of such affairs general ly, the Bridgeport Post says: -rub1ic sentiment Is the greatest force on earth and sooner or later it must be consult ed. The company Is losing large amount of money these sultry days, when the riding is usually so heavy, and the trolleymen are likewise suffer ing a considerable loss, while the busi- ness interests of the city are also af- fected. The whole thing is unfor- tunate and regrettaible, and mere mat ter of pride or strength should not stand in the way of reasonable set clement, especially if it is known that such an outcome can be secured by very little effort and very little conces- sion.' From our experience in Water bury it is pretty evident the company will make no concessions. It looks as though it had mapped out its mode of battle and will fight it out on that line if 1t takes all summer.

 ROME. June 5.-With regard to the reports that the pope is i'll, 1t is learn ed that the only trouble from which he is suffering is exhaustion due to overfatigue as a result of the recep- tions his holiness had held since Eas- ter, when the people were admitted in private audience or to Pope Leo's pres enoe to the number of 10000. This is the only reason for the suspension of audiences.
 The pope continues to see high off. cials and had long conference with Cardinal Rampolla about the appoint ment of an archbishop of Manila, for which post there are three candida tes, Mgr. F. z. Rocker formerly secreta- ry of the apostolic delegation at Wash ington and now bishop of Jaro, Phil ippine Islands; the Rev. Father J. J. Harty, rector of St. Leo's, St Louis. and Thomas A.

THE COAL MINERS.
President John Mitchell Speaks FON
 Workers,

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June 5. - With regard to the probability of 8 re- sumption of the strike in the anthra. cite region of Pennsylvania President John Mitchell of the mine workers waa unwilling to make any statement Concerning the chief points to the con. troversy that now seems likely to pro. yoke a renewal of hostiMties, whether or not the men selected by the miners organization should be members of the board of concilia ton, as authorized by the board of arbitration, be said:
 'The statement that the question o1 recognizing the United Mine Workers was never submitted to the strike com. mission is entirely untrue. That was one of the important awards in our fa- vor, the wording of 1t being that the miners ization'-which,o of course, is the Limited Mine Workers-'should have three representatives on the board of conciliation, one for each dis trict.' Naturally I appeared for the anthracite coal workers before the strike commission, and it was as pres ident of the mine workers that I was given the right to do so. The argu. ment of District President Fahey, in which he says that it would be as log. ical for us to demand that each stock Rolder of the coal companies be con- suited with in regard to the selection of the opera tors members of the board of conciliation as that an the miners in the region vote on the men to repre- sent them is very sensible. However, the award of the strike commission specifically provides for that.
 Tt is true that conditions in the Wy oming valley are very bad. Our re- ports are to the effect that the men are compelled to work on Sundays and that in few particulars have the opera Eors lived ~upato the decisions of the strike commission No, do not wish to anticipate the possibilities of an- other strike.''

BOSTON, June 5.-The recent arrest of Geno Bianco and the holding of Michael Freda as a witness in. the alleged smuggling cases here are prov ing to be even of more importance than 1t was at first thought to be. Bianco was interpreter on the Dominion liner Vancouver and is said to have been caught leaving the shop last Saturday with laces valued at more than $2,500. Special Treasury Officer O'Neil investi- gated the case and found that the par eel was to be delivered to Michael Ere da, a banker in North Square, this city. Freda was called before United States Commissioner Fiske and formal ly arrested on charge of smuggling. The officials say that smuggling valua' ble faces has been going on at this port from steamers coming here from Ma ples for long time.

MILLERS CONVENE.

FOR UNITED STATES AND CA-ADA
FStter Attack Made on Labor Unions. They Want the Principles Q9 Freedom and IndependS
 ence to Rule.

DETROIT, Mich, June 5.-The Mill lers' National federation, which is in convention here, has adopted resolu- ton demanding the speedy adoption by the national government off broad, liberal and comprehensive policy of genuine reciprocity.
 The fullest possible measure of reel procity between the United States and Canada was especially favored, and memorial was adopted on the subject which will be forwarded to President Roosevelt Resolutions were also adopt ed on the labor question, recognizing the right of all men to organize, but denying the right of any labor organi- zation to demand that Individuals be compelled to unite with it or to de- mand that only union men shall re- ceive employment. One of the features of the session was the bitter attack made on labor unions by s. T. Ballard of Louisville, Ky, while the labor reso- lutions were under consideration. Mr. Ballard said in conclusion:
 Ut would be well to form an associa ton of employers in every town in the country. We must do something to preserve for ourselves and our children the principles of freedom and inde- pendence which our forefathers hand ed down to us in their Declaration of Independence that every man shall have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness

 Resolved, That necessity now com pels the -four milling industry as a whole to demand the speedy adoption by the national government of broad, liberal and comprehensive policy of genuine reciprocity, one of the results of which will be the equalization of the import duties upon American wheat and four by all importing countries and thereby securing the American miller entrance to a large number of important foreign markets from which he is now effectually excluded"

The following is his reply: T should not make a naorial to Thomas Je fferson, nor to George Washington, until by the pro- gress of events it became apparent that the principles for which they con- tended, which are embodied in the De- claration of Independence and illus trated ill the organization of this gov ernment, had been vindicated and their authority re-established. Under the lead of President Mckinley and by the continuing support of the republican party this republic has been perverted, the policy of an empire has been intro the Declaration of Independence have been abandoned. if not repudiated." :" This is plain atement of fact, says an exchange, and intellectually blind must that American be who is unable to discern the character of the change which has taken place in the form of our government since 1898. Before that fatal year we had a republic pure and simple. To-day we have repub- lie in the United States and an empire dn the territorial possessions we have acquired by the sword.

His Clever Nephew.

A certain member Of the stock eX-

ness three times, but the young man
lacks something essential to success
in the line selected for him, and has
failed with each effort. Recently,
when he came with the fourth re-
quest for financial assistance, the UNI
Gle demurred:
"You must learn to lean on your
SELF" he said II can't carry you all
your life 1t would be an unkindness
in me to keep supplying you with
money to carry on enterprises that in
variably end in assignments. I'll tell
you what I'll do. You owe great
deal as the result of that last failure,
Pitch in on your own hook, and go it
alone till you pay off those debts.
When you've done that I'll give you a
check for all they amount to. Such an
experience will do you more good than
all the money could give you now
Two months later the nephew
walked in with every claim receipted
in full, and the uncle was so delighted
that he gave the promised check.
Now that's something like it, he
said. aid III wager you feel the bet
ter for the hard training. How did
you manage it, Dick?'

them that there is the making of a
