That's What the " ife Got and the
saloon Man Got the
Kernel.

Tom Darcy, yet young man, had
grown to be very bad one. At heart
he might have been ali right, if his head
and his will had only been all right;
but these being wrong, the whole ma
chine was going TO the bad very fast.
though there were times when the heart
felt something of it's old truthful yearn-
ings. Tom had lost his place as fore
man in the great machine shop, and
what money he had now earned came
from odd jobs OF tinl ering which he
vate houses, for Tom was a genius as
well as mechanic, and when his head
was steady enough he could mend a
clpck or clean a watch, as we'll as he
could set and regulate a steam en-
gine-and latter he could do better
than any .er man employed by the
Scott Falls Manufacturing company.
One day Tom had Job to mend a
broken moving machine and reaper for
which he had received FIVE dollars, and
on the following morning he started out
for his old haunt, the village tavern
He knew his wife sadly needed the
money, and that his two children were
In absolute suffering from want OF
clothing, and that morning he held
debate with the better part of himself
but The better part had become very
weak and shally, and the demon of appe-
tite carried the day.
So away to the tavern Tom went. For
two or three hours he felt the exhil-
aratng effects of the alcoholic draught.
and fancied himself happy, as he could
sing and laugh; but, as usual. stupefac-

Lord Curxon.s scbool nav,

Like so many men who achieve great
ness In after life, Lord Curzon's school
reputation was not OF the most promis-
ing. HE was clever enough" one Of his
old masters said recently. but he was
incorrigibly lazy and was far more i'm
mersed in mischief and practical joking
than in his books. And yet, although he
never did a stroke of work he could by
any exercise of ingenuity avoid, he could
always somehow manage to hold his own
with the other boys of his form"

On one OF these orf-day tr1ps to
London they travelled In the same
compartment to Euston, and then,
both being bound for the city, they
chartered hanson, which set them
down at the bank. Walking up
Threadneedle street, they came sud
denly face TO face with shabby
little man who at sight of them
stopped short, threw up both hands
with an indescribable gesture of sur
prise, and then, turning sharply on
his heel, vanished round the corner.
1t was Moses Plish!

ard; the last time 4 saw him was in

I've had some dealings with him my
self in the oId days."
That's curious-so have l." said
Richard. He's the man to whom |
sold some stones, You remember
when / came out OF the wilderness"
Arrived at the corner OF Bishops
sate street they parted, agreeing to
meet Tor luncheon. AS Kane turned
away with "a courteous wave of the
hand, sudden thought flashed
through RichS brain and held him
rooted to the curb.
BY all that's holyI' he muttered,
syfrn off D, lnsA
Could it be poSsible?"
Instead OF doing his errand in the
city, he hailed a passing hanson, and
jumping in called out to the cabby
Wellington street." and within a
quarter of an hour he was with our
friend the manager of the inquiry Of
fee.
Have you anything for me?" he
asked.
In response he received a legal en-
velope, quite bulky, which he thrust
into his pocket.
Il believe all the data you asked for
are there, Mr.. Dysart," said the head
of the concern, land we have tabu-
lated them in what seemed to us the
order of their importance relative to
your inquiry"
Thanks, said Richard, and re-
gained his cab.
Once within its shelter he lost no
time In examining the contents of
the envelope. These consisted of a
series of foolscap sheets, fastened to-
gether with brass clip at the cor
ner, each sheet bearing at the top the
name of some man more or less well
known in the city or the diamond
trade, with certain biographical re-
hDarks appended.
And the first sheet bore the name OF
Rossiter Kane!
Richard replaced the envelope in his
pocket and sat staring ahead at the
crowded mass of vehicles in Fleet
street with a puzzled frown on his
face.

CHAPTER VIII,

And now the quick march OF events
brings us to the night of the dance at
The Cedars, which was to confront for
the first time on one stage the chief
characters in this little drama.
Dinner for the house party was over
at $3.50, and by nine O'Clock the invited
guests from the nearby countryside
began to arrive. Among the first fight
was the party from Denecroft-Stella
and Sir Arthur, Marcia Churchill and
Richard.
The historic old picture gallery,
which was to be devoted to the dan
cling, was already well-filled, and Ros-
sitter Kane stood at the entrance to re-
ceive his guests in company with a
young-old dowager, Lady Agatha Kin

TRAINS ISOLATED
 BY RIVER FLOODS.

The flood situation in the Mississippi River district has grown more serious and the only hope lies in the reported fall of upper tributaries.
 All railroad traffic through the Mem phis gateway is tied up and cannot be resumed until the flood has subsided. So suddenly did the rise come in this section of Arkansas across the river from Memphis after the St. Francis levee broke at Trice's Landing, that two passenger trains were caught be- tween washed out points and are now surrounded by water on blind tracks about three miles west of Bridge Junction. Seventy five passengers remained aboard these trains, one a Frisco and the other a Cotton Belt, over night.
 The Cotton Belt had run out of Mem phis first and had proceeded but few miles when in crossing section of flooded track, the rails spread and the engine was unable to move either way. The Frisco train succeeded in pulling it back upon the track and a washout having occurred meanwhile to the rear, both trains were cut off from re- turning to Memphis.

 Keel Bill Placed On
 Calendar.

By a vote of 21 ayes to 50 noes the house yesterday failed to pass Repre- sentative Hale's bill abolishing the railroad commission. One of the most interesting debates of the entire ses- sion preceded the final vote on the measure. Mir. Kerwin led off against the bill in speech of over two hours duration. Speeches in opposition were also made by Messrs. Perry, Michigan, Thompson, Bell, Marti- neau and Rowland Those speaking for the bill were Messrs. Toney, But Ter, Holland, Chestnut, Burk and Hale. Practically the entire day's session was devoted to the bill. After the vote was announced Mr. Futrell moved to reconsider the vote by which the bill passed and to lay that motion on the table. The motion prevailed.
 By vote of IA to the senate pass ed the house bill by MT. Campbell of Pulaski appropliating $2O,0O0 for the purpose of redigesting the statutes of Arkansas and empowering the su- preme court to appoint the digester. 1t was contended by the opponents of the bill that two thirds majority was required to pass it and this contention was sustained by President Short, but an appeal was taken from the decision of the chair and the senate, 13 to II, sustained the appeal. The bill now goes to the governor During the dis cussion of the bill Senators Wood and Sengel took occasion to score Gov ernor Davis.
 In the senate motion to take the Keel antitrust bill from the table prevailed and the bill was placed on the calendar, subject to call.

SCRANTON CONVENTION ELECTS
PRESENTATlVES ON CON.
CILiATlON BOARD.
ALL TALK OF TROUBLE SlLENcEO
EXPECTED THAT THE OPERATORS
WILL AGREE TO ACCEPT
SELECTIONS MADE.

Scranton. Pa, June 1.-THE advice
OF President Mitchell of the United
Mine Workers of America has pre-
vailed and all talk of strike has been
silenced.
The convention of the anthracite
mine workers adopted resolutions pro-
viding that each district should vote
separately on the election OF the rep
resentatives on the conciliation board.
The resolutions were adopted without
a dissenting vote Following this the
delegates in the different districts
voted separately. after which the con-
vention. by rising vote, ratified the
action.
Another resolution was adopted pro-
viding that all grievances, instead OF
being threshed out in debate. should
be given to the Cancellation board for
consideration.
The convention adjourned at 1850
O'Clock to meet again at 2 p. m.
Adjournment was taken for the pur-
pose OF giving the operators an oppor-
tunity to either accept or reject the
action of the convention in endorsing
the action of the executive board In
appointing the members of the board
Of conciiation. There is no doubt
that the operators will accept the ac-
tion of the convention.
President Mitchell told the conven-
tion there was no advance In wages
yet due the miners. The average price
of coal has not been higher than
$4.52. BY the end of June the aver
age price will have reached $462,
which will entitle the miners to
per cent increase. President Mitchell
said he had seen these figures and
had reason to believe they were cor
rect.

JEWS MAINLY RESPONSIBLE
Father John of kronstadt and the
kishneff Massacre.

st. Petersburg, June 17.-Father
John of kronstadt, whose fiery con-
demnation of the kishineff massacre
was published in the st. Petersburg
Liberal newspapers, has published
the following in the anti-Semitic Qua
mia. the new organ in st. Petersburg:
ITO My Beloved Christian Brethren
in Christ of kishineff: From the news
paper. accounts succeeding the first
published reports concerning the
kishineff catastrophe have concluded
that the Jews themselves were the
cause OF the recent disorders; that 1t
is the Christians who suffered in the
end and that the Jews have been
doubly repaid for their losses and in
juries by their own brethren and 9th
ers know this from private letters
which | have received from people
who lived a long time in Kishineff,
who are all acquainted with affairs
there and who are most trustworthy.
Therefore, ! say to the Kishineff Chris
tians to forgive the reproach on ac-
count of the horrors that were COM
mitted which | cast upon you alone.
From the letters OF eye-witnesses
AM convinced now that one cannot lay
all the blame upon the Christians,
who were provoked to the disorders
by the Jews, and that the Jews were
mainly responsible for the catas-
trophe."
