ing-he could give her every hearts
desire and permit her to shine as she
was meant to shine. With him she
could become but a part of his life,
and radiate only his achievements
With Nieman her own world opened
before her. Emmerson admitted this
to himself with great bitterness.
Manlike he accepted his conclu-
sions as established facts, and even
in his repentance failed to declare his
love. He showed it plainly enough
and rallied to her at his ill-fortune.
She was provokingly inscrutable ard
teasingly coquettish. Emmerson was
driven distracted by her and the love
he had felt for the girl sweetheart he
had left seemed puny beside the
great. passion he conceived fer the
woman he found.

replied.

garding the danger signals in her
eyes. ''The Lord knows don't blame
you. What has poor devil like me
to offer you excepting decent living
and heart full of love?"
Just then a servant announced Mr..
Nieman.
You never offered me anything as
yet" she said audaciously, as she arose
and turned toward the door.
Emmerson leaped to his feet and
started toward her. Just then Nieman
entered, tall, cadaverous, his dead
white complexion accumulated by the
monocle he affected and Miss Ashton
received him warmly, while Emmer-
son sank back into his seat with a
surly nod.
Nieman was to take her to the
opera, so it seemed, and soon they
went, leaving Emmerson still sitting
gloomily in his chair.
Course the luck. What did she
mean?" he muttered. Have l missed
still another chance? That fellow
looks like he was going to propose to-
night"
He was right. On the way home in
his carriage, Nieman formally laid
himself and the Nieman millions at
her feet.
When they returned she found EN-
merson still there, greatly to her sur
prise.

Consular Appointments Now Depend
Upon Merit.
DIPLOMACY MADE A CAREER.
For Positions of $1,000 Year and Up
wards, Knowledge of One Modern
Language Besides English is Re-
quired-WHI Encourage Fittest.

Washington, Nov. Is. = With the
double purpose of offering perma-
nent career in the diplomatic and con-
sular service to competent young men
and of improving those branches of
the government service so as to make
them more valuable than they now are
to the business interests of the coun-
try, the president, at the instance of
Secretary Root, announced two new
rules. The first of these has not yet
taken concrete form, but its sub
stance, as made public, was that here
after any applicant for appointment as
secretary of embassy or legation must
possess a knowledge of at least one
other language than English, and must
be otherwise examined as to his
competency. This rule is closely in
line with the English practice and in
its development will involve the pro-
motion of the bright young men in
the diplomatic service in the degree
that they justify it by hard study fit
ting them for new posts.
The order as to the consular SER
vice amends the existing rule which
requires the examination of such con-
sular officers as are limited in COM
pensation to the maximum of $4,000
per annum, and minimum of 1000.
In President Cleveland's admins
tration an effort was made to examine
all applicants for consular positions,
but this was soon abandoned, and the
limitation now in vogue was adopted.
The purpose of the president and
Secretary Root is to take the consular
service away from political prefer
ment and to make promotion as well
as appointment dependent upon abso-
lutte merit These things are aimed
at the following executive order:
with a view to further increasing
the efficiency of the consular service
by extending the method now en-
ployed for ascertaining the qualifica-
lions possessed by candidates for ap-
opintment in that service:
at is hereby ordered that the execu-
tive order of September 20, 1895, in
IOScHu W IHS SOA-
sular service, be and it is hereby
amended land extended to include all
consulates generals, consulates, COM
mercial agencies and consular agri-
cies, the annual compensation of
which is not less than $1,000. Said
order therefore will read as amended
as follows:
at being of great importance that
the consular officers of the United
States shall possess the proper qualifi-
cations for their respective positions,
to be ascertained either through sat
isfactory record of previous actual
service under the department of state,
or through an appropriate examina-
ton.
1t is hereby ordered that any va
tancy in a consulate general, con-
sulate, commercial or consular agency
now or hereafter existing, the salary
of which is not less than $1,000, or the
compensation of which, If derived
from official fees, exclusive of no.
tarial and other unofficial receipts,
does not fall below $1,000, shall be
filled by transfer or promotion from
some other position under the depart
ment of state of character tending

Copy Famous Crowns.

Some Eastern society leaders have
adopted the vogue of having their
diamonds set, not as ordinary tiaras
or coronets, but in imitation of the
royal crowns worn by the sovereigns
of Europe. Mrs. John Jacob Astor
and Mrs. Clarence Mackay have had
their coronets made in the shape of
the English crown. Mrs. Howard
Gould possesses one exactly like that
of Queen Helen of Italy Mrs. Charles
Yerkes wears on her brow a fac smile
of the Spanish queens diadem, while
Mrs. Bradley Martin has had the his
toric crown of Empress Josephine
copied for her personal use.

kina Edwards Bad BARGAIN.

When King Edward agreed to place
the hereditary revenues of the crown
at the disposal of the nation he made
a bad bargain. Instead of the rev.
enues he agreed to accept a clear
yearly sum of $2,S50,OOO and the ma
ton is making a profit on the bargain.
1t amounted to $112,500 last year and
is increasing. Among the properties
assigned by the king were consider
able portions of the West end. Rents
have risen greatly. One instance is
the Carlton hotel, for which the
ground rent was only $3,S13 per an.
mum, but which is now $1,000.

HOW TO COPE WITH BOTH.

Washington, Nov. ia joint ban
quet attended by about 400 gentlemen
and ladies at the New Willard hotel
terminated the meetings of the Ma

American Hardware Manufacturers

touched upon the question of the regu-

created by congress.
Secretary Of the Treasury Shaw de-
clared that the evil of the freight re-
bates was not alone with the transport
tation company, but with the shippers
as well. How to cope with both," he
said, 'fs question that is puzzling
the government. The question would
soon be solved and the evil be abolish
ed.
But now as to rebates. My own
idea about the rebates is this: The
rebate must stop and the railroad is
not the only sinner in the case. Such
action must be taken by legislation
as will apply the remedy to both the
beneficiary and the railroads"
