If BENJAMIN F. Butler takes any in

During the time when he was in con-
troll of things in that town in the re-

ed before since the days of Bienville.
And not since Bienvilles time was
the town freer from yellow fever and
other pests than he made it.
Gen. Butler may or may not have
had a line on the mosquito theory of
infection. He made the Crescent City
SO clean, however, that MOSQUITO
could not fly over It unless he
brought his rations with him. There
were no feeding grounds for him left
in that town when Ben's soldiers and
laborers finished their work OF cleans
ing, deodorizing and dlsinfecting.
The mosquito remained away while
Butler had his headquarters there. He

Theodore Roosevel.'s Future.

What of the future OF Theodore
Roosevelt? He has announced with
characteristic decision that he will
not again be candidate for the
Presidency. the highest gift in the
Lands of the people. What then is
open to him?
Manifestly he is the first American.
His sturdy character and, plain hon.
esty have combined with knowl-
OF men and things to make him the
ideal leader of great people. He
has compelled the powers that op.
posed him to feel his influence, mad
his personally has been injected
where 1t might be used to the best
advantage for the success of his
Administration. Endowed with those
strange qualities that nature finds it
duty to impart to the men it makes
the leaders of men he has availed
himself of every opportunity to use
his power. To the world he has
proved his intent to be right, and
when convinced that he is right he
has followed the course mapped out
by his conviction. A man of deeds
as well as words, an influence for the
maintenance of the rights of man,
no task has been too great for him to
attempt. no opposition SO strong as
discourage his efforts. When war
was the issue he proved himself a
sensible warrior, and when the peace
OF two great nations is the stake he
plays with the ghosts of diplomacy
and does that which the head of no
other nation in the world could dare.
Steadfast in his purpose, because he
believes he is right, he presents an
example OF honest determination that
las no equal.
When Theodore Roosevelt ceases
to be President what will he do with
these powers? He is still on the an
ny side of middle life and as dura.
ton Is measured has many of his al.
lotted years to live. He cannot be
expected to sink into oblivion that is
the common lot of our Presidents
when their work for the people is
over. He would chafe in this mac
tivity. He cannot become a gentle.
man in the common acceptance of
the term, with nothing to occupy his
time, and 1t is plain that the field of
letters does not present the oppor.
tunities his nature demands.
And 70 the question might be con-
sidered in ITS every detail, with the
same result. Whatever position
Theodore Roosevelt may seek there
he will lead, and in this event is 1t
not possible that he will retain his
lold upon the people? Is there not a
danger that he will always be OBJ
served a greater man than the one
who will succeed him as President?
In that event the honor to this Amer
lean will be greater than that be-
slowed on any who has preceded
him.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

These figures include battleships,
cruisers and submarines now build
ing for the three powers, and this
vast combined navy would be manned
by roughly, 100000 men. The SINH
larify in the total number of ships
possessed by Great Britain and France
will be seen TO be due to the fact
that France has large excess of
torpedo craft and submarines, but
she total fighting weight is much in
favor of Great Britain.
An examination of these figures
shows that Great Britain, when her
building programme is completed, will
possess 1877 battleships and cruisers,

was the most polished and accomplished
scoundre1 | ever had met-my friend
with the keen sense of humor and the
excellent cigars, with two women, his
wife and Suzanne, absolutely under his
thumb | then determined to land this
accomplished gentleman if possible, and
| gave him plenty of rope, listening
with babe-like innocence and interest to
his story, which was most excellent of its
kind.
He had been playing the detective
himself he said, had watched Suzanne
studying list of steamer departures
which she obtained at the hotel desk.
Seeing her depart without permission in
cab, he had followed, but had been
delayed through his imperfect English.
But he had seen her leave the pier in
company with a man and had followed,
etc.
Has she confessed to your" said l.
YES"
'She stole the tiara ana got duplicate
of the bracelet"
'No. She denies taking the tiara"
Knows nothing about it, in fact?"
$50 she says"
HAS she obtained duplicates of any
thing else?"
'No."
"Why did she do it,"
"She's in love with a man. She will not
say whom; but of course it is Del Bonti.
Del Bonti would not marry her unless she
had fortune. Poor girl! l cannot help
sympathizing little. Love makes fools
of the best of them"
THAT is true" said | to my excellent
friend the Count "Will you make the
charge against herr"
Il shall have to, l suppose" he said
but [ must consult my wife. She really
loves Suzanne" he said, with deep
sympathy for his loving and tender
hearted wife.
There is no time to lose" said l.
we will go to madam at once. And we
will take Suzanne along with us"
added
But" the Count was disturbed

"But-but business is business" he
urged. eff she does not sing she will
lose some thousands of dollars 1t will
surely PROSTATE her. She is very tender
hearted

him of the bracelet, and he was staggered.
He was eager to know if there was any
way of getting at the truth as to Suzanne,
and | gave him some encouragement but
not much.
The next thing that happened was the
arrest of Suzanne. Without any pre-
vious warning my detective marched into
headquarters with her at eleven o'clock
that morning. She was pale resolute
and defiant. Before questioning her |
wanted the story. l had her placed in a
certain waiting-room and then got the
particulars.
''She left the hotel at nine clock, with
small traveling-b bag" said the detective.
'She took a cab and handed an address to
the driver written on a card. She drove
off and | followed her in another cab to a
North River pier She went on board
Liverpool steamer about to start, and |
followed and took her into custody. In
stead of showing fight, she was quiet as a
lamb. She seemed heartbroken over
something.
"'Don't take me away till the steamer
goes, she begged, and of course | con-
sented | wanted to see who else would
gang-plank, but screened from the view
of anybody coming down the pier. She
kept her eyes strained for the sight of
some one, and as the time of departure
approached grew nervous and agitated.
She cried a little, wiped her eyes con-
vulsively and twisted her handkerchief
and dug her nails into it like a woman
in fear and agony. She did not seem to
| be afraid that her friend would be caught.
| She acted like woman in love that some
man had gone back on.
when the whistle blew she sank
down on the deck in a sort of collapse.
l spoke to her, but she did not seem to
hear me. | took her off the steamer,
put her in cab and then she braced
up like YOU see her now. She kept
muttering to herself in Italian all the
way up here. She's going to make
trouble for somebody"
| The case was clearing. With Suzanne
angry the truth was sure to come out. |
sent the detective up to the hotel to get
all particulars of what happened there,
and was just going to interview the girl
when an officer came in and said that a
man wanted to see the arrested woman.
This was excellent news. The man was
a foreigner, the officer said, an Italian. l
could not see him, as if it was Del Bonti
as l supposed, he would learn my
identity, from having met me at supper
and be on his guard.
Put him in the room with her." SAID
| |, and close the door. Afterward bring
him here.
And then it was that I regretted the
absence of the Italian detective. The
room in which Suzanne had been placed
was used for particular purpose. 1t
was an ordinary waiting-room in appear
ance, with a table, chairs, bare walls and
bare floor and no other furniture or
pictures that might excite suspicion.
| But by simple contrivance connected
with the wall every word said in it above
whisper could be heard clearly in a
room adjoining and taken down by
stenographer if necessary.
The moment the man entered the
room there was a scene. Suzanne was
like a tragedy queen. Such a TRADE of
rage, love, upbraiding and despair mixed
| together | never heard in my life. She
