A Tragedy Of Love

Now that is the position" sighed
Kitty. She leaned her pretty tear
stained face forward and sighed Mrs
Chevenix laughed little, then
yawned.
She was pretty little thing, Kitty
\ Gascoigne. fair-haired fluffy little
person, with a pair of appealing blue
eyes and a soft babyish face. She
was the wife of George Gascoigne,
man upon whom the powers that be
looked with high favor, man who
was climbing slowly but surely the
great ladder of success.
Kitty Gascoigne and Olive Chev-
eniX had struck up warm friendship.
possibly because they were such op-
posites. this woman who loved her
husband and the other woman whose
flirtations no man could number.
George used to be fond of me,
continued the little wife; he was per
fectly silly during our engagement
and whilst we were on our honey
moon, but directly we got back to his
station he became absorbed in his
work-and even during this holiday
at Simla he studies blue books End
native reports-anything but me.
IF I'm just as good looking as l
was, why doesn't he love me as
much?"
Because, Kitty. you have the most
dangerous rival woman can have
ambition"
"Ambition?" repeated the other.
Yes, ambition. Don't you under
stand that you have married man
whose one idea is to be successful?
He loves you, my dear, but you are
only an incident in his life"
81 won't be an incident" cried Kit
ty with flashing eyes. He ought to
think of me before everything
The elder woman lost her sneer
She also in the years that the locusts
b had eaten had loved and been miser-
able, and she was sorry for little
Kitty.
There's only one force in the
world stronger than ambition she
replied, slowly, land that's jealousy.
Make your husband jealous"
Il will do it," she said aloud, with
quiet decision, ''to be happy again is
certainly worth lie"
George Gascoigne was writing let
ters. Not ordinary letters by any
means, but missives addressed to
very big men indeed-missives these
men would read with attention and
ponder over.
Success" muttered the man to
himself-"success at last!' He heav-
ed deep, long sigh, and stretched
himself as one does who throws off
a burden. To-day had brought George
Gascoigne good tidings. He was no
longer the man strlving-he was the
man there. Promotion? Yes, but
something more than promotion-the
ripest, reddest kiss of Dame Fortune
for George Gascoigne had arrived.
81 must tell Kitty" He smiled
little as he rustled up his papers.
She won't understand bit what it
means to me-" he thought; but she
will like the title-and, by Jove,
won't she play the great lady splen-
didly? Dear little Kitty"
George, | want to speak to you
for a moment. Can you spare me
few seconds?" Kitty stopped her hus-
band as he was about to leave the
Ddrawing room that evening. Husband
and wife had been dining alone, and
even George Gascoigne noticed vague
ly how smart Kitty looked for their

FILIPINO OFFICER
 RECEIVES PARDON
EMILIO vILLAMAR, WHO WAS sEN- FENCED TO BE HANGED, IS TURNED LOOSE BY PRESIDENT RoosEvELT-ARMY OFFICERS


 Washington, July 29,-President Roose- welt has pardoned Emilio Villamor, prominent Filipino who in December, 1900, was sentenced to be hanged for murder This sentence was afterwards commuted to ten years Imprisonment.
 Villamor was a former member Of the insurgents operating in Luzon. They captured Maricelo Gadung, native cor poral of police who. in addition to being a coporal, acted as a spy for the American army and this fact was generally known. On one occasion while within the enemy's lines he was captured, tried by courtmar- tial for being a spy, convicted and shot. viilamor was an officer of the insurgent army and was on the courtmartial that tried and disposed of Gadung. It was for that villamor was tried and sentenced. He has served term of nearly three years.
 His pardon was recommended by army officers and the secretary of war, on the ground that villamor's offense was really political; that he was entitled to pardon under the present amnesty proclamation of July l. 1904. The president has ap- proved this recommendation.

GOVERNMENT WILL
 SUE FOR $2OO,OOO
THAT AMOUNT HAS BEEN Ex- PENDED IN CARRYING MAILS IN WAGONS IN NEW YoRK-coMP- TRoLLER WRIGHT FAILED.

Washington, July 29-The government will institute proceedings against Will liam G. Weight. a postal contractor. and the Fidelity and Deposit company of Bal timore for approximately 1000 which the postoffice department has been compelled to expend above the amount of a contract for carrying the malls in wagons in New York city. George c. Travis. who yes terday was awarded the contract to fill the unexpired term of a month less than two years. will begin the service August 1.
 Weight was given the contract 12 years ago for a term of four years at s23S,OOO and within year he notified the govern ment that he could not continue it on &C., count of his health. He then left for the west. The Baltimore company went on his bond for $325,000. Weight was all lowed to designate the New York Mail Transportation company as a sub-con- tratcor. It Is said that Weight had to pay the latter $2S0,000 a year. Owing to fines and penalties for service that was not up to the contract he declined to con tinue but finally agreed to keep up the service until the end of this month. The new contract is for $340000 a year, and at the end of two years from July 10 last, suit will be instituted for the re- covery of the difference between this amount and the original contract figure $239 000

ROOSEVELT CAMPS
 OUT WITH HIS BOYS
PARTY SPENDS THE NIGHT ON
 THE SANDY SHORES OF HUNT IN0ToN BAY, WHERE THEY SLEPT ON THE BARE GROUND.

Oyster Bay, L. l., July 29.-Lying on the bare ground, wrapped in blankets, President Roosevelt and his sons and nephews passed last night on the sandy shores of Huntington bay. The President makes an annual custom of camping out with his boys.
 Late yesterday afternoon the President and his little party left Sagamore Hill In two boats for Lloyds Neck. the sandy had been selected for the nights camp. He occupied one boat with his son Archie and his nephew Nicholas Roosevelt, and his son Kermit and nephews Philip and Oliver Roosevelt occupied the other. As the distance to Lloyd's Neck is about ten miles 1t took them two hours to row it,
 After breakfast today the party re- turned to Sagamore Hlll. Soon after his return the President received a call from former Senator ". D. Washburn of Min nesota. They discussed the financial sIt- uation, Senator Washburn expressing tho opinion that the present furry in New York is not so serious as 1t appears on the surface to be, and that it does not affect the countrys general prosperity in the least.
 Mother Jones and four members of her "army" arrived here today. They had an interview with Secretary Barnes in an endeavor to arrange a conference with the President, but they were told the President could not be seen. Mrs. Jones agreed to write to the President what she desired him to know and do regarding the textile workers in Philadelphia, and later she returned to New York

ENGLISH SUGAR SILL PASSES.
Colonial Secretary Chamberlain Makes
 Speech Defending It.

London, July 29-The house of com mons today passed the sugar convention bill to it's second reading by vote of 224 to IA In the course of the debate, Colo nial Secretary Chamberlain in defending 1t said:
 For twenty years we have tried to secure the voluntary abandonment of bounties. It was only when we changed our policy and suggested realization, had struggled so long and escaped a condition of things under which Germany and Australia would be able to regulate the price of sugar in Great Britain"
 Mir. Chamberlain said he believed the bill would not increase the price of su- gar but by giving greater stability and certainty to the trade would benefit the West Indies. Referring to the possibility of losing the American market he said If we had only treated the West Indies fairly there is no reason why they should not now be supplying us with a greater part of our demand. The gov- ernment has a choice between prohibition and countervailing duties"
 He believed prohibition the simplest plan but should 1t become necessary he would take the opinion of parliament upon the question of countervailing duties MT Chamberlain did not touch directly up- on the fiscal question, but incidentally remarked:
 'We are on the eve of great economic fight and 1t behooves everybody to keep cool as long as possible and not turn an economic into a personal fight"

CARDINAL GOTH
 IS BROAD MINDED
HIS BEING A MEMBER OF RELIC
 loUs ORDER WOULD NOT PRE- VENT HIS DEALING IN A BROAD
 SPIRIT, SAYS CARDINAL LoeuE.

Rome, July 29.-Cardinal Logue, arch bishop of Armagh. had an interview to- day with Cardinal Gibbons When asked today what he thought of the objections frequently mentioned against Cardinal Gotti being elected pope on the ground that his being member of a religious or- der would prevent him dealing in broad spirit with Catholic problems in America and Great Britain, Cardinal Logue said to a representative of the Associated Press:
 Tt is absurd. Cardinal Gotti was for merly an inter-nuncio and has mixed with the representatives of the various powers. He knows the prevailing conditions as well as anybody Just because he is a Carmelite, 1t does not follow that he is narrow minded. Moreover, 1t is unreas- enable to attribute too much weight to the personality of the new pope. Inter national matters and International policy are now almost invariably settled by commissions of cardinals, who certainly under the late Pope Leo have directed their departments just as much as the heads of departments of a civil govern ment direct their departments. But who- ever may be pope, 1t Is not likely that he will attempt to make any changes in policy without being careful to take the advice of those commissions which have heretofore directed the policy of the vat ican.

Explains to Court Why His
 Statements Are Conflicting
MANY IMPORTANT WITNESSES
Officers Arrive From Breathltt County With James Little, Who, It Is Said, Knows Much About
 the Assassination.

Cythiana, Ky. July 29.-while the de- fense has subpoenaed over a hundred witnesses to impeach those testifying for the commonwealth and prove alibis for Jett and White in the Marcum case, the prosecution is also securing many valuable witnesses that could not be served during the first trial at Jackson.
 officers arrived today from Breathitt county with Sam Little, who Is consid- cred a stronger witness than either Ewen or J. T. Patrick.
 It is stated that Little not only saw Jett and White just before Marcum fell and again after the shooting, but also that he witnessed the shooting in the courthouse.
 Little Was In Hiding. Little was arrested last night by the soldiers while in hiding and brought here today by deputy. He is related to Cur tis Jett.
 John Freeman, another important wit ness for the commonwealth, who Is said to have fled to the mountains during the trial at Jackson last month, was also brought in by deputy today. Both will be held until they are called by Com monwealth's Attorney Byrd
 Capt. B. J. Ewen, the principal witness for the prosecution, was the first witness called by the commonwealth. Much inter- est was manifested in his testimony. It was after il o'clock when the hearing of Ewen began.
 Captain Even left the stand at 3:3O p. m. after he had been subjected to a rigorous cross-examination by the attor- neys for the defense. After his testimony Judge Osborne asked him if he desired to be taken across the river to the camp of the guards. lie said he desired the guards to escort him, and he was tempo rarily placed in one of the jury rooms until the militia was called, and, they took him to Camp Licking.
 On the witness stand 1t developed that he had made different statements to Judge Hargls and others immediately af- ter the killing of Marcum in Breathitt county. He gave as his reasons that he was afraid to say otherwise, as he was afraid of Hargls and Callahan. He said that Hargis and Callahan and Combs had called him Into consultation immeditely after the killing and told him what to say, an1 that he had agreed to do so as he was afraid of being killed then and there. This created some stir In the court, and after he had left the stand some applause was started and Judge Osborne promptly squelched it.

ILLINOIS CENTRAL GETS
 TRACKS INTO BIRMINGHAM

Close on the heels of this is the compact between the Frisco and the Illinois Cen tral, by which the latter gets the benefit of trackage rights into Birmingham ana the former rights from Baton Rouge into New Orleans. From these developments it would appear that the ally of the Rock Island and Frisco on the east side or the Mississippi below the Ohio was to be the Illinois Central. The newly acquired line gives connection with the Illinois Central at Henderson, by which route to Memphis east of the Mississippi can be obtained If desired.
