Marcia Surprise
Party

Mrs. Harvey was sitting on her
back porch peeling peaches while her
daughter was watching a huge kettle
Of the fruit that was boiling on the
kitchen stove.
It's too bad that you have to stay
in doors this hot day. Marcia, and put
up fruit" said Mrs. Harvey as the
young girl came to the door tanning
herself with a kitchen apron. y al
most wish that we had decided to wait
until tomorrow and see if Jennie came
home before we attacked the peach
es." Mrs. Harvey sighed.
"No. think it is better to preserve
them to-day. for you know when Jen-
MES mother sends for her to go home,
she is apt to want her for several days
and this fruit won't keep much
longer"

SO good when she is here thar sup
pose we must be patient"
Marcia could not help smiling. She
knew SO well that it was Mrs. Har-
vey's own thoughtfulness that sent the
efficient little maid home to help her
over-worked mother every now and
then.
Marcia, Marcia" Mrs. Harvey
called a few minutes later. Il do be-

Mrs. Kennedy and her niece are drop
ping in for lunch do you?"
Marcia came to the door. Yes,
she said, 'it's they. Mother, you run
in and tidy yourself and III meet
them just as am. Then you can come
out on the front porch and entertain
them while / get up some kind of
lunch"
How dreadfully inopportune. ]
don't see what you'll do, my child.
Just look at all these peachesl No.
I won't leave you to get lunch alone.
Oh, Marcia, what shall we do?"
Just what I say, dear? Do hurry.
They are right here now"
Marcia never quite realized Just how
she managed to get through that day.
She cooked a comfortable though plain
lunch, and explaining that the maid
was away, served the table very sim.
ply and entered into the rather
strained conversation that her mother
was carrying on with the guests. She
excused herself, when lunch was over,
cleared the table and went back to
the peaches, which she had the salts.

the kitchen, she was beginning tc
prepare dinner.
mo, Marcia, we viii not have dinner
here tonight When your father comes
home, III tell him what a heroine you
have been to-day and We will celebrate

Marcia was tired and the words OF
praise brought quick tears to her eyes
With the splendid telephone and
mail service that We have, It does
seem hardly necessary that we should
be obliged to suffer a surprise party
OF this kind"

New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
Washington, March 20. - People
have been writing to the secretary Of
the navy asking If Admiral Dewey,
when he was at San Domingo city, on
the Mayhower, with Assistant Secre-
tary Of State LOOMS, Rear Admiral
Taylor and other officials, did not re-
fuse to call upon Morales, the Domini-
can negro president, on account Of
race prejudice. Admiral Dewey said
to an interviewer: .g.
The river at San Domingo is really little
more than a creek. There had been fir
ing In the vicinity that day. People in
the town had been wounded. It seemed to
me that the sight Of a boatload Of officers
in gold lace going UP that creek would
likely anger the insurgents. Had we
been fired upon it would have caused
trouble. Then every one would have been
asking: What were the fools going uE
there for at such a timer"
But there was no intention on our part
of avoiding the president because he was
a negro. 't~7<s ~ g, = '1>N'@ 4' r:
Oh, no. You know came from Yer.

GOOD, FAST BURLEsQUE-
Bohemians Keep Dewey Patrons in the
Best Of Humor,

A two-act burlesque show, which con-
su1nes two hours and a half, needs talent
better than the ordinary to insure sue
cess, 1.-THE Bohemian Burlesquers,' at the
Dewey theater this week, manage to dis.
pense with the customary olio, and still
give very entertaining performance. This
result is achieved by talented comedians,
an unusually comely chorus, elaborate cos
tune effects and catchy music. The, prin-
cipals are clever, with one or two ex-
ceptions. The women, both principals and
chorus girls, are decidedly good looking.
The honors Of the piece in comedy line
are carried off by Winnie Henshaw and
Andy Gardner. The work of the. former
is exceptional.
It must be admitted that George Tot
ten Smith, the author Of the sketch, + "A
Bohemian Beauty did not write UP to
the ability Of the company which presents
the piece. Still the production as whole
is far above the usual standard.
Among the best of the musical mum
bers are INA amselle' New York, ]" sung
by May Belle and chorus; my Sweet
Poppy" by Georgia Fransioli, and the
burlesque Of the. same by Winnie Hen
shaw, and .'Silvery Moon" by Louise Au-
Der. The work of the comedy quartet ii
good. Henshaw and Fransioli give most
entertaining speciality entitled, 1.-THE Am.
bilious Amateurs" The work Of Miss
Fransioli IS especially clever. THE Pride
and Pets Of the Howery," by a double
quartet in appropriate costume, is an.
other good feature.

from The journal Bureau, Colorado Building,
Washington. Pig s'--.'
Washington, March 29.-Secretary
Hitchcock. has suspended action on all
SCRIP locations made by F. A. Hyde,
plaintiff in the state swamp land con-
test for the triangular piece of land
near Virginia, and for that reason
1T Is probable that no. action will be
taken by the department on Hyde's
appeal for several months. Z v--
Hyde Is attempting to get this tract
by locating scrip on it, He is now
under indictment at San Francisco for
an alleged violation of the land laws,
and it is alleged that in many cases
he has, used scrip which has some
vital flaw in assignment, ETC., and the
secretary has therefore determined to
examine every piece In which he Is
interested. H.. g., .z..
It is understood that J. B. Foraker,
Jr., son of the senator from Ohio,
has an equity in the scrip Hyde is
using to secure, the thirty-six acres
near Virginia, and 1t is possible that
Foraker senior may induce the secre-
tary to order a special examination,
SO that the case may be speedily de-
termined. iE7,,-t. .tEH.+
If the scrip is found defective Hyde's
/, contest will be dismissed, and the
states right to the land under the
swamp grant will be decided as an
ex-parte case, the issue being whether
tthe land is swamp or not.

Russia, it was proclaimed, had

Admiral Makaroff went out to Port
Arthur and has done wonders.
Admiral Togo has been credited
with victories he never won, with
operations he never attempted, and he
is likely to be unjustly blamed because
no results are apparent.
'Togo and Makaroff," writes Fred
T. Jane in the Chronicle, "are fairly
matched in mental caliber, and, tho
the latter has the weaker fleet, every
thing points to his ability to play q
waiting game, than which nothing is
more likely to be fatal to the Ja-
panese.' +,
Another expert, Rear Admiral In

pans prospects not so long ago, In the
Daily Telegraph this morning pays a
tribute to the energetic leadership OF
the new Russian commander at Port
Arthur.

Origin of Wild Rumor.
To illustrate just what is meant by
an idle rumor, it may as well be told
that the story that stampeded the mar
ket one day last week was tale that
James Stillman, at a meeting in Nor
CAMS office, had shaken his fist in
Mr.. Hills face, and Mr.. Hill had I'M
tremendously left. 1t turned out
catch a train, and that Mr.. Stillman
had merely waved his hand to Mr..
Hill as the latter went out.
Another result is a beautiful mix
up in the curb stocks. Every man
who sells, tries to draw up contract
that will let him keep everything ex-
cept the actual stock. No worse tan
not a bunch of little suits out Of it,
it will be a great surprise.
The trading in the merger stocks
is another lovely tangle. On the curb
the young brokers, who for the most
part don't know half as much about
Northern Securities as they do about
Mars, get their sales and purchases
all wrong over and over again. "Old
