are so apparent that we are almost
ashamed to talk about them. They
stick right out like the nose of your
face, but, as Marcus Aurelius
might have said, if he .iad thought
of it, IF man blow not his own
horn, the same it shall not be
blowed. And our Office boy says
he'll be blowed if he can see why
we should hide our light under a
half bushel.
Ro to save argument we are will
ing TO admit that there is no light
that even approaches the electric
light i'll quantity of light radiated
all around the room.
The quality Of the light you can
see for yourself. Electric lights
give a strong, clear, vivid white
light. That is what is demanded
today, pure, white light and plenty
of it.
If our points are not clear to YOU
it is undoubtedly due to the fact
that yonr light is poor. If you

Is LIFE
WORTH LIVING?

A great deal depends on the liver.

all these blessings are denied to him
who is a slave to his liver.

Walking to New York.

A dispatch from Ellicott City. Md. to
the Baltimore American says: Sheriff
James L. Hobbs on Saturday took in charge
an old white man on the Washington road.
in the sixth district of Howard county.
The old traveller, who appeared to be en-
tirely destitute of means. was trudging
slowly along in the direction OF Baltimore.
dragging a small handcart, in which were
piled a few soiled bundles.
The stranger stated that he was a ma
tive of New York state and had been on
a visit to the national capital. which he
had never before seen. although he was
now in his eighty third year. He was
then, he said. on his return to his home
on foot the same way he had made his
trip to Washington. To prove that he was
not a vagrant he displayed a purse in
which was nearly a thousand dollars,
which at once convinced Sheriff Hobbs
that the old man was in possession of am
pie means of support. The traveller then
resumed his Journey.

to the Salvation Army at the dedication OF
the new citadel of the army. Senator
Hanna presided. Others present were Col

the meeting Senator Hanna said:
II consider 1t great honor to be asked to
preside on this occasion. 1t Is great
pleasure also for me. to be here. The day
has passed when prejudice against the Sal
walton Army can do its work. In the early
stages of this movement the army was
looked upon with sneers and ridicule In
many quarters and doubt as to the methods
of its work.
II have seen day by day, month by month
and year by year the growing success OF
the work of this band Of patriots OF the
Lord in Cleveland and elsewhere IN the In

INADEQUATE PUNISHMENT.
Light Sentence for a Soldier Who
Quilted His Company.

Private Steve Stephens, Company e. 23d
Infantry, having been tried by general
court-martial at Washington barracks. and
found guilty OF conduct to the prejudice
Of good order and military discipline. and
Of absence without leave, was sentenced
to be confined at hard labor, under charge
of the post guard. for fifteen days and to
forfeit SIS OF his pay, now due or to be-
come due.
Gen. Chaffee. commanding the Depart
ment of the East. in reviewing the case,
SAYS:
1.-The record shows that the prisoner was
convicted of willfully abandoning his
company and regiment when they were
under orders for service in the Philippines.
purposely delaying his reporting until he
knew it was too late to rejoin his regi-
ment before its departure from the United
States and of absence without leave. To
the truth of these allegations the prison
er confessed. but in extenuation of them
to show that he was unfit for service in the
Philippine Islands. The court, in de-
termining its sentence. appears to have
given undeserved consideration to the prts-
oner's resort to palliatfon of his offense,
and. in consequence, awarded sentence
wholly inadequate, and that the reviewing
authority Is constrained to disapprOve. lest
he should seem to contribute to establish
the presidents that courts-martial may re-
gard willful quitting Of the colors under
circumstances OF personal dread triv-
ial military offense.
1.-The sentence was disapproved June 10.

bia.
The Secretary Of State has received
dispatch from Consular Agent Granger at
Quibdo in regard to trade conditions IN
Colombia, in which he says: American
advertising matter is received locally In
abundance and compares favorably with
European matter of the same class, use
being made of Spanish or Of English. with
Spanish translations. Consequently, there
is a marked increase Of importations from
the United States. a number of merchants
having transferred their general dealings
there from Europe. The increase is also
due to the production by our manufacturer
ers of lines of cheap goods. that still nave
more durability than the European goods
that have held the market hitherto. Busi-
ness would be further increased II there
were more prompt dispatch OF, orders, and
more care in packing for regions where
there is so much rehandling with such poor
facilities 1t is also advisable for cata-
logues to state prices. In a region where
the very quickest of mail service entails
couple Of months for an answer to letter,

XV-Continued.

After so significant a preamble the mere
utterance of Miss Tuttle's name had almost
the force of an accusation; but the dignity
with which she rose Gained all minds and
subdued every expression of feeling. I
could but marvel at her self-poise and noble
equanimity. and asked myself If. in the
few days which had passed since first the
murmur of something more serious than
suicide had gone about. she had so schooled
herself for all emergencies that nothing
could shake her f-possession-not even
the suggestion that a woman of her beauty
and distinction could be concerned in
crime. Or had she within herself some
great source of strength. which sustained
her in this most dreadful ordeal? All were
on watch to see When the veil dropped
from before her features and she stepped
into the full sight Of the expectant crowd
II was not the beauty of her face. notable
and conspicuous as that was. which reused
the hum of surprise that swept from one
end of the room to the other, but the calm
ness almost the elevation. of her manner
a calmness and elevation so unlocked for
in the light of the strange contradic-
tions offered by the evidence to which
we had been listening for a day and
half that all were affected: many inclined
even 20 believe her Innocent of any undue
connection with her sisters death before
she had stretched forth her hand to take
the oath.
L was no exception to the rest Though
j had exerted myself from the first TO bring
matters to a climax-but not TO this one
L experienced such shock under tho
steady gaze of her sad but gentle eyes that
i found myself recoiling before my own
presumption with something like secret
shame till l was relieved by the thought
that a perfectly innocent woman would
show more feeling at false and cruel
position. / felt that only one with some
thing to conceal would turn calm front
upon men ready. she knew. to fix upon
her a great crime. This conviction steadied
me and made me less susceptible to her
grace and to the tone of her quiet voice
and the far-away sadness of her look She
faitered only when by chance she glanced
at the shrinking figure of Francis Jeffrey.
Her name. which she uttered without en-
phasis and yet In a way to arouse attention

turbance

How are you connected with the de-
ceased Mrs. Jeffrey?'
Il am the child of her mother by former
husband We were half-sisters'
No bitterness in this statement only an
infinite sadness. The coroner continued to
question her. He asked for an account Of
her childhood. and forced her to lay bare the
nature Of her relations with her sister. But
little was gained by this. for their relations
seemed to have been Of a sympathetic
character up to the time of VerOntca's re-
turn from school. when they changed some
what; but how or why Miss futile was
most refused to do SO. and the coroner, feel
ing his point gained more by this refusal
than by any admission she might have
made. did not press this subject, but passed
on to what interested us more: the various
unexplained actions on her part which
pointed toward crime.
His first inquiry was in reference to the
conversation held between her and Mr. JEFF
frey al the time he visited her room. We lad
listened to his account of 1t and now we
wished to hear hers. But the cue which Ia d
been given her by this very account had
been invaluable to her. and her testi-
mony naturally conceded with his. We
found ourselves not an inch advanced. They
had talked Of her sisters fOllies and she
had advised patience. and that was all she
could say on the Subject-an she would say,
we presently saw.
The coroner introduced a fresh topic
What can you tell us about the interview
you had with your sister prior to her going
out on the night of her de ath?'
Very little, except that it differed en-
urely from what is generally supposed.
She did not come to my room for converse
ton. but simply to tell me that she had an
engagement. She was In an excited mood.
but said nothing to alarm me. She even
laughed when she left me; perhaps to nut
me off my guard. perhaps because shs was
no longer responsible"
Did she know that Mr.. Jeffrey had
visited you earlier in the day? Did she
make any allusfon to it, l mean?'
None at all. She shrugged her shoulders
when 1 asked IL she we'll and antici-
pated all further questions by running from
the room She was always capricious in
her ways. and never more so than at that
moment. Would to God that il had been
different! Would to God that she had shown
herself to be a suffering woman! Then 1
might have reached her heart and this
tragedy would have been averted"
The coroner favored the witness with a
look of respect. perhaps because his next
question must necessarily be cruel
is that all you have to say concerning
this important visit, the last You held with
your sister before her death?
mo. sir. there Is something else some
thing which l should like to relate to this
jury. When she came into my room she
held in her hand a white ribbon: that is,
she held the two ends of a long satin rib
bon which seemed to come from her pocket
