And now, even, if | leave it to you in my
will, it would be little use, because
Mary's money must come out of it. Oh!
it was hard blow-a cruel, hard blow"
Yes" said David. LAS u Judgment,
1t was a-a-a-wunner. l never heard
of a nobler judgment. Three thousand

Ten pounds for three thousand.
That's a generous offer, isn't t?'

David, David, come back! What have

THAT is my secret"-he stood with
his hand on the door handle-"if you tell
secret. what is the good of it?"
David, stop-stop. Do you know
where that box was taken? Oh! David,

Look here, uncle perhaps the box ex-

ME for a paper out of the box. taken
out this very morning, none of the other
papers having been so much as touched =?
What would you give for that, just to
show that the others can be laid hold

"Oh! give it to me, David" the old
man stretched out both hands with yearn-

that the box is found after all, and safe?"

The British are about to begin the
construction of the largest. heaviest,
most powerful and most costly battle
ship ever built, and intend to have
the pennant flying from ner mast with
In sixteen months after the date on
which the first keel plates are laid.
This invincible and invulnera BILE war
vessel Is to be named Dreadnought,
and the British admiralty has designed
her to be capable of equaling her
name. She will mount more heavy
guns than any two battleships now
ahoat; will be able to withstand an
attack from a submarine, and If she
happens to touch off a floating mine
VIII be able to continue afloat until
port Is reached. In addition to these
enYlable virtues, the Dreadnought will
also have great speed, and. If she
wants to turn tail" her engines, de-
Veloping a speed of 81 knots an hour,
Will enable her to outdistance any too
pressing foe. Even If overtaken. the
very thick armor plating will enable
her TO stand unusual punishment, and
FOR dealing with torpedo boats she will
have a small battery of one-pounders
and six-pounders. She will also he
armed with torpedo tubes, but will be
unique In having no secondary bat
terry.
No details Of the armor to be placed
on the Dreadnought have been given.
but it Is known that she will be the
most completely armored ship afoat.
Her armor alone will weigh about g.
600 tons. In empower the Dread
nought Is designed to be the most for
midable warship ever seen. No bat
tleship in the world to-day carries
more than four 12-inch guns. but the
Dreadnough will mount no fewer than
ten, or two and half times as many
as any ship atioat. This enormous bat
terry Of 12-lnch rifles will have a COM
bined muzzle energy OF $4,000 foot
tons. Each of these big guns will
throw a shell weighing $50 pounds. the
combined battery being able to throw
over four tons Of projectiles at one
discharge. The Dreadnought will be
able to throw this immense weight of
metal distance of five or six miles,
at which range the shells would pierce
the armor Of practically any battleship
afoat.
Progress in Batt1eships,

vance in the development OF battle
ships within. the last ten years. In
1895 Great Britain had twenty three
armored ships. each of more than TO-

MAYOR TURNED DOWN
PENSACOLA CITY COUNCIL OVER
 RIDES HIS VETO.
Jim Crow Law Will Soon Go into Effect in the Florida City-R0ast for Street Superintendent
 Ginxlea,

Pensacola, Fla, Sept. 2s.-SpeciaL)- Mayor Charles H. Bliss last night re- | turned to the council the celebrated Jim Crow ordinance which had for It's purpose the separation of the white and black races on the street cars. The mayor returned the paper unsigned and gave his reasons at length for his faiI- ure to attach his signature, all making up the one excuse that in his opinion the law was not constitutional meas ure. The council had voted the ordi- nance law In August of this year, and sent 1t to the mayor for signature and approval. The mayor refused to do this. Upnn the paper being returned last night without the approval sigma ture, the councilmen expressed them selves rather strongly and in drastic manner. Alderman Wright, who had introduced the measure and who had subjected the same to a number of amendments. n made a motion that the ture. This was carried and each of the eight aldermen present. had voice in the matter, all voting in the affirmative weeks from today. as the provisions in- dicate, the ordinance will become n law
 The mayor gave a lengthy explana- ton as to why he did not sign the law, being equitable to all classes of white or to all classes of black people
 In the mayors communication to the council, he took the occasion to remark that the boycott instituted upon the oc- casion of the passage by the Legisla- ture or a separate street car bill had cost the operating company here about $lO,0OO, and that this same hardship would be imposed in case the city bifl was made into a law.

RECEPTION OF WITTE
RUSSIAN ENVOY REACHES CAPITAL
 OF RUSSIA.
Spokesman Reads an Address of Wel- come, to Which Cxar's Chief PIen- ipOtentiary Responds With
 Feeling,

St. Petersburg. Sept. 2S.-M. Witte arrived here at S:25 a. m., today and was accorded a hearty reception by a large crowd of officials and others. In brief speech replying to a welcom- ing address NJ. Witte showed clearly that he was deeply touched by the well come with which he was received. When he left St. Petersburg in July, a small delegation of officials accompa- nied him to the railroad train to bid him farewell There was no public demonstration whatever. Today there were seven or eight times as many ofn- cials despite the (for Russia) very ear ly hour of the trains arrival and m enthusiastic crowd of five to six hu.l- dred people. Among the officials pres- ent were: Baron Nolde, general secre- tary of the committee of ministers, M Wyshnegradsky, former finance minis ter director of the International Com mercial Bank; M. Kobeko, privy coun- cilor and chairman of the press reform commission and many other prominent officials who had been M. Witte's for mer colleagues or subordinates.
 The crowd had collected near where M Witte would descend from the train and when he appeared they broke out into long and loud cheers to which M. Witte bowed acknowledgements. The spokesman then advanced and read the address of welcome, all in tho mean while standing bareheaded.
 The address read: You have ac- complished your difficult task and the nation Is thankful to you. You have given the credit of your success to the Emperor Nicholas, President Roosevelt, Emperor William of Germany and to the press. You have forgotten only yourself We, however, fully appre- ciate your services to your country. The tree you planted at the Washington homestead at Mt. Vernon will serve as token of the union between the two nations. You have done much.
 For ourselves and for those who are absent we will once more shout hear ty hurrah."
 When the cheers had died away M. Witte, who seemed deeply moved by the sincerity of the welcome advanced few steps and delivered his reply. He said: ..-..
 T was so little prepared for this kind reception that I must ask your pardon for the incoherence of my words. have performed my duty well, because have strictly obeyed hts majesty's in- structions, because circumstances fa- vored me, because the world Is weary of this bloody war, because all classes or society from President Roosevelt down were In sympathy with mine and your cause, because I was true to my coun- try and her and our interests"
 NJ Witte's last word was followed by further loud and hearty cheering after which slowly advancing toward the en- trance he shook hands with the deliver CT of the welcoming address and his friends and former colleagues. The crowd followed closely to the door where an open carriage was in waiting.
 As soon as M. Witte was seated the coachman started his team and as he drove away the crowd broke out into A succession of loud cheers.

No Mission to Germany.

St. Petersburg. Sept. 2S.-Reports ascribing to M Witte an important mission to Germany are declared in an inspired article in The Russ today to be destitute of foundation.
 Tt would have been strange" the paper says, had NJ Witte traversed Germany and not gone to see Emperor William and the German statesmen. particularly in view of the fact that he was a signatory of the treaty of peace ending a war in which Germany had steadfa stly observed a benevolent attitude towards Russia. Furthermore, NJ Witte exercised a directing infiu- ence in negotiations for the Russo- German treaty of commerce which IS far from palatable to the agricultural interests of Russia and raised numer- ous questions demanding investiga- tion. If. as they doubtless did, the conversations between Chancellor von Buelow and NJ. Witte touched other topics, they were in the nature of a simple exchange of views. having noth- ing to do with any special mission.

Last night at the First Presbyterian Church occurred a quiet marriage which was witnessed by only few friends of the contracting parties. The ceremony was performed by Rev. J. c. Caldwell who united in marriage Miss both of this city. Both of the young people are very popular and today were the recipients of many well wishes from their hosts of friends. The bride Is the daughter of Julius Vaught of this city and is a very popular and tall ented young woman. while the groom is a well known young railroad man.
 The marriage of the young people came as quite a surprise to their many friends in this city. While 1t was known that they were engaged 1t was not known that the wedding had been set for such an early date. Yesterday a friend of the groom secured the IT, cense and made an engagement with the minister to perform the ceremony. During the day MT.

Moscow, Sept. 2S.-Thc congress of zemstvos today discussed it's economic program with special reference to the peasants need for more land. The committee on organization submitted the draft of a proposed appeal to the peo- ple in which was advanced the right of the state to appropriate the land of private owners and divide 1t among peasants who were without land.
 The executive committee of the con- gress opposed the draft, especially the section relating to the appropriation of lands and in the final draft merely urged the necessity of increasing the allotment of land and of reforms in connection with the land tenure. The final draft also urged the adoption of measures for popular education and for the establishment of state insurance for workingmen.
 It was proposed that the congress should send telegrams of sympathy to Prince Ivoff, a marshal of the nobility
