NEW YORK, March 1S.-The re-
port from the northwest that the
Great Northern interests have prac.
tically obtained an option on the
Bellingham Bay & British Columbia
road, the Washington railroad con.
trolled by D. O. Mills and his asso.
ciates, is confirmed in Wall street.
This line has under operation about
fifty miles Of road IN the northern part
Of washington, running from New
Whatcom to Maple Falls. Last year
an extension through to Spokane was
planned to make q new route to the
Pacific coast. and 1t was generally
reported that E. H. Hartman intend
ed to use the line as a North Pacific
route, letting the Union Pacific
through Spokane to Puget Sound. The
practical purchase by the Hill inter-
ests remove this possibility.

her green reticule, she peered into its capacious depths In search of dime; then she thrust in her hand, and finally the offending bag was turned upside down, disclosing to view a key, clean hadkerchief, a tiny comb and numerous other objects dear to the heart Of maid en ladies, but no dime. Miss Amanda
 put her hand to her cheek in frenzied sort of fashion and looked aAopealingly up at the brown-eyed conductor. Tt
 seems" she said braveiy, 1t seems that I have forgotten my fare"
 And then, wonder of wonders. the
 brown eyes smiled, and the owner
 thereof said, heartily: That's all right; I'll see you again"
 By this time Miss Amanda was quite beyond speech. She opened her mouth. gasped desperately, made futile effort to stammer her thanks, then, observing
 that the cold attention of her fellow
 passengers were becoming centered on her offending head. she retired precipi- timely behind her second reader and sat
 in silent agony until time for her to transfer.
 But once more in the street what a different Miss Amanda! She walked
 with a sprightly, kittenish movement and patted her damp crimps with a re- assuring hand.
 He said he would see me again some
 morning." she whispered. hugging the
 green reticule ecstatically. What an in tellectual forehead he has" And Miss Amanda herewith gave herself up to , pleasant reflections. so that her cheeks had blossomed into an attractive pink by the time she reached her school room.
 After that it was not always by acci- dent that Miss Amanda boarded a cer-
 tain car although she always told her. self that she was greatly surprised to
 see "her conductor" as she fondly call- ed him. He was No. 72, so his cap said, and 1t seemed to Miss Amanda that she worked better through the day if she
 encountered his pleasant smiling glance In the morning.
 He always smiled at her now and tipped his hat. Miss Amanda made
 some modest changes in her person, too; her appearance was made girlish
 her little punches of curls on either
 side of her face had given place to a
 pompadour of generous dimensions. and
 her hat was draped with many veils which shrouded her chaste countenance
 in becoming obscurity.
 Her evenings were spent reading a large paper back book entitled The art of beautifying the person" When bed
 time came Amanda rolled her hair into countless little curl papers, which
 locked like a flock of small white birds
 on her head. and massaged her face diligently with a wonderful paste in a
 pink box which set forth on its lid that it cured all facial blemishes in one
 night Amanda, strong in hope and
 faith. went to bed each night convinc- ed that the next morning would see the desired transformation effected. Her days did not seem long now; they
 were full of life and color, the nights
 were hours of happy dreams. dreams
 in which No. 72 rescued her from wrecks at the risk of his life: dreams
 in which she saw him draw her ten derly to his blue shoulder and heard him whisper: Dear. love you." And so the days passed on. and

SEVEN HOUSES BURNED
FIRE IN FACTORY ROW AT WEST
I.e.s Estimated at s5,5oes which is Gov. cred by Insursnce--Wefumpk Called on Montgomery Fire
 men for Aid.

Seven cottages, owned by the Mont. romsry. or old Adams Cotton Mills. in West End, and occupied by operatives of the factory. were destroyed by a fire which was discovered at 3:15 o'clock yesterday- afternoon. An eighth cot tage in the row was also badly dam aged by the flames.
 The estimated value of the cottages was s1.000 each. and the total loss is estimated at s7.soo, which is fully cov- cred by insurance.
 The houses were located on what Is known as Factory Row. They were substantially built and consisted of four rooms each. Just where the fire originated could not be ascertained. No one seemed to be able to assign any cause for the conhagration. As soon as 1t was discovered that the houses were afire an alarm was sent in and the Fire Department responded hastily.
 Fire Captain Nixon said last night that the firemen had trouble in fight ing the fire on account of the low water pressure and the fact that the drought caused the houses to be very dry. They burned like finder.
 Notwithstanding the rapidity with which the cottages burned the factory people saved most of their household goods from the burning buildings.
 At the factory 1t was said that the houses would be rebuilt immediately.

Stocks in England.

London October 16.-Business on tho stock exchange was dull the early part of last week. owing to the increase in the German bank rate, but rallied later and all divisions of the market i'm proved.
 American specialties were strong. operators are said to bc still buying American securities, largely in London. There is aigeneral belief that both here and on the continent the improving markets and general trade reflect America. International stocks continue strong. Russians did not finch great ly under reverses sustained in the Far East. Japanese securities rallied after the depression caused by the news that General Kuropatkin. was assuming the offensive.
 There has been a steady demand tor South African mining shares from Par- is and Berlin.

THAT RIVER CONVENTION.
Important Meeting in Montgomery q
 NnYAmher n.

November II.
 The Alabama River Convention which will assemble in Montgomery on Friday November 11th, will be an important meeting.
 The movement to secure six feet of water in the river all the year through to the Gulf is backed by the Commercial and Industrial Asso- ciation and 1t has invited the cooper ation of the commercial bodies of Mo- bile. Selma, Wetumpka and other points as well as prominent individual shippers, editors and steamboat men from the region traversed by the river.
 Special committees will be reques- ted from the City Councils of all of the principle cities and 1t will be a gathering of influential forces from al central and south Alabama.
 The program committee had an ex- tended conference last week and 1t has mapped out a program. which will at tract widespread attention throughout the State. Distinguished and influen- tial speakers will be invited, including several congressman. While promi- nent business men from all of the cit- les vii also be represented on the program.
 It is. too early to give a list of the speakers or their subject. but that vii: be done as soon as responses to invi- tations are received.
 The general sentiment Is that the history of River and Harbor appropri- ations for Alabama, will show that the Alabama River itself has been ne- glected. Traffic amounting to SIS. .000, ,000 annually has already developed upon the river, and yet half a dozen bars are allowed to absolutely stop this traffic for several months in the year. This, too, when government boats are tied up here on the river banks idle, when ten days active work would clean out the waterway from Mont gomery to Mobile.

added picturesque details to her idyl
 She had aleady decided that she would let him call as soon as he asked to, and she had, after much serious delib- eration. decided upon what she should wear on the momentous occasion.
 One bright Sunday Amanda went to walk in the park. The park was at its best. green was beginning to show in the grass and the squirrels chatted nois- fly in the treec.
 Amanda's heart was full of unrea- soning joy, her eyes filled with happy tears. Everything Is so beautiful, so beautiful" she murmured softly to her self.
 Coming down the path was a happy family party: two boys, evidently twins, toddlins with delightfully."- uncertain dignity. then the mother and father, the latter proudly pushing a go-cart which was filled to its utmost with two more fat, beribboned babies.
 Amanda blessed the group benevo- lently in the fullness of her heart, and stopped to talk to the advance guard, when, looking up, she encountered the same pair of brown eyes that she had seen for the first time on that rainy Monday: the same pair of eyes that had lived in her dreams ever since.
 Amanda bent her head silently.
 when she raised 1t again the lines of pain around her mouth were deep, but her eyes were brave and smiling. It had only meant that hope had died within her heart in that one brief in- stant. that the brightness had died out Of the sky and the green had gone out or the grass. but she nodded brightly to the innocent cause of all her trouble Then she turned blindIy and made her way back to her fourth-story room.
 That night the pink box was tenderly consigned to the fire, and the army of curl papers deposited carefully in the waste basket.
 And Miss Amanda, on her knees. prayed. tremulously: Turn away mine eyes from vanity, o Lord! and quicken Thou me In Thy way"

AN EVERYDAY ROMANCE.

 The dav was cold. clustering. rainy just the kind of a spring day that poets never mention and still the kind most in evidence; and 1t was Monday, too.
 Amanda stood looking out or her small back window across the nelgh- boring roofs. It must be confessed that the sight was not altogether cheertuL' Ii seemed to Amanda that the gray sky was pressing heavily down on the cnim- ney tons and Amanda wondered to her self how long the old black chimneys would be able to hold out.
 Amandas under lip was caught oe- terminedly between her teeth; she was telling herself for the fourth time that morning that she wasn't going to let the rain affect her spirits; no, indeed! Then suddenly, such are the uncertain ties of human nature, Amanda's eyes filled with lovely tears. and one or two of them made their way unmolested down her poor faded little face. HOW ever. she wiped the tears away with an impatient hand, and fastened on her nat with trembling fingers.
 Amanda taught the primary class m one of the big schools in the poorer part of the city. She had not maoe many friends since her arrival, and her
  aIuost unbearable. She often tried to tell herself how thankful she was that she had been born a free American, in- stead of an African princess, or to some other equally eathensposition. Then the lonR white road of her life would stretch out before her. and her heart would grow faint within her as sne thought of the weary days she must spend teaching her dirty little charges in the dingy school room.
 Having progressed as far as the front steps of her boarding house. Amanda found that the rain was coming down fin earnest, so she began to struggle with the patent spring on her umbrella This snrinR was a new invention which effectually prevented one from raising ones umbrella when the rain came down suddenly. and made 1t equally tynnossible for one to lower ones um hrelIa when the shower was passed Amanda glared at the offending um- brella and shook 1t wrathfully. but all to no avail Finally she gave up Tn despair. T hate to spoil my crlmps she murmured ruefuily. T ought not to say it, but they were beautiful this n,orning. and 1t took me most an hour to do them."
 Ii was assuredly a shame to spoil their rigid perfection, but duty was stern, and her voice more insistent than vanfty's; so Miss Amanda went briskly up the street in the rain to board the car
 As she stepped timidIy up on the plat form, her crimps shedding little streams of water in her eyes, her hat a sodden wreck. her umbrella the driest part of her outfit, she encountered the frank and friendly regard of pair of brown eyes Miss Amanda blushed and then paled as she thought of the un- lovely state of her crimps. She was in a tremendous hutter when she nnally found a seat and deposited her damp bundle of lunch beside her. Opening

FIRE IN wErUMPKA.
Rfversfde Inn Said to Have Been Pa,
 tially Destroyed.

Riverside Inn Said to Have Been Par
 tially Destroyed.
 Riverside Inn. hotel at Wetump- ka, was partially destroyed by fire yes- terday afternoon.
 The extent of the Are at wetumpka could not be ascertained, as communi- cation with the Fillmore County town could not be established last night.
 During the progress of the fire at West End yesterday afternoon Mayor Carr received a message from wetump- ka, stating that the town was on fire and asking that the Montgomery Fire Department be sent there as speedily as possible. The Mayor replied that . threatening fire was under way here. and that Montgomery would render as- sistance if 1t was found within a half hour that 1t was necessary and Mont- gomery firemen could be spared.
 Later in the afternoon Mayor Carr was notified that the wetumpka fire was under control and assistance would not be needed.
 It was reported that the Riverside Inn was destroyed completely. and that two warehouses were damaged.
 The Advertiser exhausted every effort to communicate with wetumpka with out avail.
 A telephone message from there stat ed that the hotel was only partially burned but the conversation was inter- rupted and the telephone exchange re- ported that the wires were down.
