Old jug Repaired a Church.

A church-warden of West Mailing,
Kent, (Eng) parish church discovered
in a 1umber-room some time ago a
peculiarly-shaped jug, which was sub
sequently identified as a rare old
Elizabethan stoup. An offer of SIPS
for it was refused, and the church
authorities decided to send it to
Christie's, where it was sold for $5,-
700. With the proceeds the authori-
ties have just completed several i'm.
portant improvements in the fine old
church. Parts of the fabric have been
restored, a new porch has been erect
ed, and the seating accommodation
has been greatly improved.

How could I help it?s said The
Man, pressing his lips against her
soft cheek
Anything? Are you sure; are you
very, very sure?" and her sweet gray
eyes looked searchingly into his own.
ct am very sure;" The Man said
simply.
Then sit down in this chair; I have
something to tell you" said Phi1o-
meme. The Man obeyed wonderingly.
Philomene stood behind where he
could not see her, and said, very
slowly and hesitatingly:
I'm Italy, three years ago, I was
the mistress of the Count d'Orsay."
The Man stopped breathing! his
face grew a horrible ashen gray, and
his lips lost every trace of color.
''I can't believe it," he gasped.
'T swear to you that it is true"
said Philomene solemnly.
And it was true. For the Count
d'Orsay was my father, and it was
while Philomene was in Italy that he
was given to her.
The Man sat for a long time with
his face hidden in his hands, but he
did not speak. At last Philomene said.
ever so gently and sorrowfully:
Now you know, dearest, how great
my love is for you. True love is al
ways forgiving. Is your love for me
as great as mine for you? 1 loved the
Count d'Orsay"-The Man shuddered
with a purer, truer love than ever
you bestowed on Helen Burnett.
Surely that ought to count in my
favor. And some day, dearest, when
you have forgiven me fully, 1 will ex-
plain it all, and you will be glad that

given you"
But The Man only sobbed and muir
INJURED: It's SO different, so differ

mo, no, dear, it only seems differ
ent 1t is really just the same. An
unkind world has cast a heavier load
of chains upon the woman-that's all
but there is no real difference. But
l won't ask you to answer now; you
must have time to think. Wait until
tomorrow, and then, if you find that
your love is as great as mine, you
may send me rose. Good night,
dear"
The Man arose and took few steps
toward the door through which she
had vanished, then stopped and turn
ing, went blindly out into the night.
went softly up the stairs to the
room where my mistress sat with a
strange, frightened look on her face
that 1 was almost frightened, too.
"Oh, Paddy boy" she cried, throw
ing herself on her knees by my side,
and putting her arms around my neck,
"Have a done foolish thing? A dogs

Allured her thrifty eye,
And forth she sailed to hunt,
Beneath torrid sky.

With Mrs. Johnston next she drank,

To boast about and brag.

Springs on a Pennsylvania Watershed.

Springs on a Pennsylvania Watershed.
On the same farm in Potter county,
Pa, are two strong, clear springs
which bubble up out of the white sand
with great force, and about three
miles distant is another spring of like
character.
If a chip were thrown into each of
these and could float on uninterrupt-
edly to the sea they would reach their
destination many thousands of miles
apart. One is the fountain head of
the Genesee river, which flows into
Lake Ontario, and finally reaches the
sea at the mouth of the Gulf of ST.
Lawrence. The other is the fountain
head of the Allegheny river, which
unites at Pittsburg with the Monon-
gahela to form the Ohio, and reaches
the sea at the mouth of the Missis-
sippi. The third is the fountain head
of Pine creek, which flows into the
west branch of the Susquehanna and
reaches the sea at Chesapeake bay.

HAS SOLVED GREAT PROBLEM.

Inventors Idea RevoIutionizes Present
Windmill Machinery.
The great problem of windmill max
ers in all time has been to overcome
the resistance of the wind as the fans
of the wheels return from their for
ward movement. 1t is quite clear to
every one that as each fan goes
against the wind in making its revolu-
ton, it must, to a great extent, act as
a drag to the wheel. 1t is for this
reason that the ordinary fans or
blades are set at an angle. An in
ventor has conceived the idea Of in

closing the half of the wheel in which
the blades made their return trips, and
in addition so managing valve-like
doors in each blade as to allow the
air free course through them. 1t is
said this machine is a most powerful
affair and will do much to revolution
1ze the present windmill machinery.

THE STRONGEST TICKET"
Er-Mayor Schieren Says Roosevelt
VIII BE Elected by Big Majority.

Regarding the Republican ticket and plat
form. eX-Mayor Charles \. Schieren said yester-
day 10 q Tribune reporter:
The ticket Of Roosevelt and Fairbanks is uni
versally considered the strongest that could
have been put up. The President is especially
popular with the people. not alone out West but
also in New-York. on all sides there is an ex-
preston Of satisfaction that he has been nom
mated for the Presidency and firmly believe
he will receive large vote in this city which
may surprise the politicians.
The able address by X-Secretary Root has
drawn special attention 10 him as tho ideal can
didate for Governor next fail. It is my firm
opinion that in the State and in the city of New
York he would poll more votes than any other
man. He IS especially strong with the indie
pendent elements. In the clubs and I'm CONNER
cial circles every one Is speaking in the highest
terms Of his able address, giving the history OF
what the Republican party has accomplished
within the last eight years under the admin
istration OF Mckinley and Roosevelt. The Re-
publican organization will make mistake IN
dominating him for Governor and in urging him
TO accept. even II he must make sacrifices.
AS one of the manufacturers OF this city. I
think the keynote OF what is needed to further
that is a modification of some OF the provisions
of the presen: tariff has been embodied IN the
Republican platform. Those who are IN active
business and come in contact with the compe-
tition Of foreign manufacturers appreciate the
necessity OF making some changes in the sch@d-
ules Of the tariff. While all admit that the
policy Of protection has given rs great prosper
ity and developed our country. We raust also
admit that conditions VIII arise which viii ne
Cessitate notifications of some OF the provisions
OF the tariff. II is not advisable 10 rip up the
entire fabric Of our protective system. and
hope that is rot the intention, because II would
demoralize things very much In this country.
Therefore, I was glad 10 note that the couveu-
ton was very judicious in advocating a con-
servatiye policy IN that direction.
To my mind tho President enjoys the conn
dence Of the people In commercial well AZ IN
