What One of Richmond's Institu-
lions is Doing.

The demand made upon the Bust
ness College in the past few weeks
have been astonishing. They have re-
ceived fifteen calls from Banks,
Railroads and Manufacturing con-
Germs for competent office help. Of
these fifteen, they had only four stu
dents out of employment whom they
could place in these positions. 1t is
strange how many young men do not
realize that by attending Night
School three nights a week they can
obtain an education which will place
them in the best positions in this
part of the country.

QUEER BATTLEFIELDS
On Ice and Underground Men Have
Made War.

When the American marines and the
Colombian troops recently confronted
each other at Colon it looked for time
as if battle was to be fought or the
pier of the Royal Mail Steamship Com
pany.
A pier is rather an unusual place to
fight a battle, but battles have been
fought in many curious places ranging
from mountain peaks to sewers and
from ice fields to desert sands.
At the battle of Monterey, in the
Mexican War, the Americans were
able to command the streets of the
city with their artillery, but they had
difficulty in disodging the Mexcans
from the houses. So, the city being
built of stone or adobe in solid blocks
of houses, the Yankees broke through
the walls from one house to another.
fighting and driving out the enemy, so
that the battle of Monterey was largely
fought indoors.
In one of the battles of the wars of
William the Silent for the independence
of the Netherlands, the Spanish ships
were frozen in on the Zuider Zee. The
Dutch came out on horseback over the
ice and attacked them. This is prob
ably the only battle in which cavalry
was ever used directly against ships.
several OlneT COInDdlS were IOuSnI De-
tween troops on the ice in these wars,
and on one occasion the infantry is
said to have worn skates.
The battle of Austerlitz was partly
fought on a frozen lake, and when the
allies were retreating across it, the
shot from the French artillery, plung-
ing into the ice and breaking it up,
caused the death of thousands of Rus
slams and Austrians.
OF the many underground battles
which have taken place in history, the
fiercest was probably that of the siege
of HARLEM in the Dutch wars. The
Spaniards mined and the Dutch coun-
termined with equal industry. and be-
low the ground a fierce conflict ragged.
When the Versailles troops took Paris
after the Commune they chased some
of the Communist troops to the great
sewers of the French capital, where
some desperate struggles took place.

the side of the Marquis. Strength,
my friend" he said, you are robbed
of a daughter but you will be greatly
recompensed for the sacrifice"
The Marquis leaned toward his
kneeling daughter.
1--WE play for life here-yours or
mine!" he whispered hoarsely.
Then the kneeling girl, taken with
a sudden resolution, as if to drain at
one gulp the bitter cup which was put
before her, took the oath, without
pause, and with voice which rang
throughout the great church.
Then the jubilant peal of the organ
made the temple tremble. The incense
assembled from the altar in thick
clouds. The sacrifice was finished.
Sister Amelia Purificacao at last
arose, wrapped in the veil of a spirit
ual bride. The rejoicings continued.
She felt something snap in her
breast. She raised her handkerchief

she cried, and stretched her arms to-

At the close of the spring, when the
roses bloomed, the Herftor the Mar

which had been prepared for her, the
violence of her father, and the firm
resolution which she held-even with
the prospect of death at the altar
to resist any such order. The letter
closed with a prayer to Alfredo to
help her. Take me away" she beg
ged. Rescue me- Take me anywhere
only take me quickly, Alfredo, Mia"
The servant brought reply Alfredo
told her that with the means then at
his disposal a marriage was out OF the
question. That his love for her was UNI
failing, despite all difficulties, and
despite the opposition of her familyH he
added that his master had proposed
that he go as supercargo IN park
which was even then loading with
wine for England, and that his profits,
he hoped, would be such that he could
rturn and marry her. He advised that
under the circumstances it were better
to gain time until he could return, ana
then all would be well.
In the convent the prayers for the
novitiate continued. Her mother came
to visit her but the poor lady, com
pletely under the influence of her nus
band, preached a long sermon 10 her
daughter on the sin of disobedience.
The wine-laden bark had sailed for
England. Amelia was left alone.

Mountain of cakes had been baked.
Nlands of the choicest kinds had been
cooked and great bowls of sweetmeats
were made for the rejection in the
parior at the close of the religious
ceremony.
Amelia was alone in her cell, SEEM
ingly unconscious of all that was going
on around her. At last three blows
sounded on the door. 1t was the
Mother Ahbess.
MY daughter" she said, "the wish

Who knows, Mother Abbess?" The
Abbess made no reply, and Amelia
blessed herself instinctively She kiss

Il am ready, my mother" she said.
At the entrance from the choir
Amelia gave her hand to her father.
The vast crowd in the church looked
curiousy at the gentle girl. They
crossed the body of the church in front
of a crowd of women which drew back
to let them pass up to the high altar.
There were tears in many eyes.

But you are burying me alive"
Il prefer even that to the shame of

The ritual of the church continued,
solemn and majestic. Amelia was on
her knees. and felt against her neck
the, cold scissors which with one cut
took off her beautiful hair.

Many years passed by, and one day,
after the converts had been abolished,
it became necessary to make some re-
pairs in the church under which was
the tomb of the Quadros family The
stone which served as the cover to the
entrance to the tomb was lifted. I'm
derneath, with a sword of wonderful
workmanship, clasped in bony fingers,

broken.

asked the stonemason.
"Who can know that?" replied the
sacristan. Long ago these things
were always happening. But wait"
Going to the altar he took a candle
from the candlestick, lighted it and
descended the steps into the tomb.
A few minutes later he returned.
THE Heritor, the Marquis Maria
Quadros was the last person buried in

a punishment for something that he
had done?' said the stonemason.
That is hardly probable. My
father often spoke of the Marquis as
a most exemplary man. His brother
was a friar of Ponta Delgada, and he
had a daughter who was the Sister
Amelia Purificacao. All, l know the
history"
Then the sacristan and the stone
mason placed the bones again in the
niche, put the stone door in it's posi-
ton and sealed the tomb with lime.

USING WATER
DURING FIRE
BREAKS LAW

The fire at the c. & c. mill brought
forcibly to the notice of Chief Meyers
the necessity for enforcing the ordi-
nance which requires everyone to
shut off the water in their houses
during a fire. In most sections of
the city the residents paid no atten-
tion to the ordinance and although
they could tell by the volume of
smoke that the department was fight
ing a big fire. They continued to
sprinkle their lawns in utter disre-
gard of the law on the subject.
The police and fire departments In
tend to cooperate from this time on
and rigidly enforce the law. The
penalty for using water during a
fire is fine of IS. Besides this the
offenders will have their water shut
off. Had the citizens respected the
law Thursday evening the depart
ment would have had twice the press
ure. They were handicapped by the
low pressure. due in a great measure
to the action of ignorant or negligent
people.
At the Cliff house fire the same
conditions existed. Had the people
in the neighborhood compiled with the
law the department would have had
ample water. The fire chief is in
earnest about the matter, and if the
practice is continued arrests and
fines will follow.

CLEW TO WAITS
PARENTS FOUND

SEATTLE, Aug. 6.-Several of the
most influential members of the local
Chinese colony have succeeded after
considerable difficulty in obtaining a
clew to the parentage of the little
half caste baby left at the Wayside
mission by a richly dressed woman
last June, and yesterday adopted by
Con Ying, a wealthy Chinese mer-
chant.
Although the name of the mother
of the waif can not be learned, it is
now known that she is a white wom-
an and had been for some time the
mistress of Chinese laundryman at
Aberdeen, who Is the father of the
child. The richly dressed white wom-
an who left the baby at the mission
and then disappeared before any
questions could be asked was the
child's grandmother. The baby was
born in Seattle seven or eight weeks
ago, it's mother and grandmother hav-
ing come to Seattle, it is understood,
hoping that it's birth might be kept
a secret and that it could be disposed
of here.
Con Ying, who formally adopted
the little boy and will rear him as
his own son, is probably the happiest
man in Chinatown. Mrs. YinG, or

to the prolonged hot spell. The town
had no fire protection. A portion Of
the fire department from Wallace was
sent to the scene, but by the time
they arrived the fire had practically
wiped out the town.
Black Bear is a mining town and
is settled for the most part by
miners working in the Standard and
Mammoth mines. The miners lost
practically everything they had. Some
few were able to save their clothing.
Dynamite was used to blow up
several buildings in the hope of head
ing off the flames and a line of hose
was run up from the Frisco mine
No mining property was destroyed,
but wires are all down, including the
heavy line of the Washington Water
Power company, which furnished
power to the Gem and other mines.
The loss falls heavily on several
of the leading merchants. S. d.

Gerry store, lost his entire stock,
valued at $1,000. He was also post
master. All of the supplies belong
ing to the government were Destroy

the burning of his hotel. The town
is decidedly short of provisions, but
