MISS ALICE's SOLITAIRE.
She Does Not Wear it for the Public
TO Gaze Upon.

A dispatch from Washington In the
New York American says that a per-
sonal friend of Miss Alice Roosevelt
announces that the engagement ring
which Congressman Longworth placed
on her finger is a handsome solitaire
diamond of about a karat and q half
in size. set in a high Tiffany setting.
Miss Roosevelt does not wear the
ring in public-it being one of her
foibles that It is q sort of precious
Keepsake not intended for public dis
play.
The interest in the ring by the pub
lie is given as another reason why it is
not worn publicly. Hence it is that
the five-stone diamond ring, the gor-
geous sapphire and the others of her
finer eiewelS have been mistaken for
the engagement" circlet.
The sapphire ring was an heirloom
of the LongWorth family, and was
given as Il lucky stone TO the BRIDE
elect to ward off dangers and lovers
quarrels-a potency that the sapphire
is supposed to exercise over such ills.
AS yet no formal entertainments of
the young couple are announced. and
Will not be until after the holiday sea-
son. Then there will be a round of
gaieties.
Society appears to have selected two
of the Washington bridesmaids for
Miss Alice. One is Miss Annie Nc
Cauley relative of Major McCauley,
who is a member of the White House
social staff; the other is Miss Mathilde
Townsend. Miss Roosevelt and Mr..
4ongworth dined on Tuesday at the
home of Miss Townsend.

MERGER OF TRACTION LINES.
Looks as IL the Inter-borOngh Is to
Control All on Manhattan Island.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, Dec. ga consolida-
ton of the subway, elevated and sur
face traction lines of Manhattan Island
is believed to be probable as result
of the sale of the interests of Thomas
f. Ryan in the Metropolitan Street
Railway System to August Belmont.
The Metropolitan System includes
practically all of the surface roads in
the Island and Mr.. Belmont is presi-
dent of the borough Transit
Company which operates the elevated
roads and the subway. The price
paid for the Ryan stock in the Metro-
politan was not made public.
After a conference during the after
noon at Mr.. Ryan's office. which was
attended by Andrew Freedman. a di-
rector of the Inter-borough Company
it was announced by counsel for Mr..
Belmont and for Mr.. Ryan that no
official statement would be issued to-
day.
There was nothing to indicate that
there had been a hitch i'm the negotia-
tions and it is believed the official con-
firmation of the big deal simply is
withheld temporarily.

FIGHTING FIREIIGHTERS.
Secretary Il. Gilbert Pearson Gone to
the Coast.

Secretary r. Gilbert Pearson, of the
State Audubon Society, passed through
Raleigh yesterday ON his way to the
Carolina coast. where he will wage
campaign against the fire-lighters,
hunters who violate the State laws in
hunting duck and other game.
Since last March, when the fiscal
year ended, the Audubon Society has
prosecuted successfully sixty persons,
who were convicted of violating the
States game laws. Secretary Pearson
is very hopeful of the future of the or
ganization, and is happy over what the
society already has accomplished,
A few weeks ago Secretary Pearson
spoke in Columbia S. c.. and advo-
Gated the organization of an Audubon
Society in that State. The suggestion
was accepted and carried out, and Sec
retary Pearson has been requested by
the interested people in the Palmetto
State to draw uo the provisions of n
State game law which will be pre-
sented TO the Couth Carolina Legisla-
ture, which convenes in January.

Greensboro, n. c., Dec. 22.-Revenue
AGENT w. Fl. Chapman who has been
in charge of the Revenue Department
here for nearly two years, has been
transferred to Richmond, where he
becomes a revenue agent of the Dis
trict of Virginia. The change is ef-
fective January 1st. At that time Col.
Chapman will be relieved by Mr.. r. b.
Sans. who was appointed a revenue
agent not long after Col. Chapman's
transfer to Greensboro.
The division which Col. Chapman
leaves. and of which on and after
January 1st Mr.. Sans will be in charge
comprises the States of North and
South Carolina. Col. Chapman has
been a revenue agent since 1878. His
first assignment was also in this State,
and in Greensboro. This4was &c years
ago last June. Since that time he
says there has been a vast change for
the better in the observance of the
revenue laws. Colonel Chapman has
re, we'd many old friendships, and
formed many new ones during his
stay in Greensboro the past year or
that he is to leave.
There may be some significance in
this change of base for Revenue Agent
Chapman. While'no one ever thought
of charging him with siding with
vioators of the revenue laws, 1t was
commented on at the time as at least
indiscreet in deputies from his office
going on the bonds Of revenue officers
indicted for alleged conspiracy with
~ Il y aA,,f
and he himself at the trial of Deputy
Collector Samuel. actively assisting in
the defense. Colcnel Chapman con-
tended that it was his duty to stand
by his deputies until their irnocence
was established or their guilt proven.
When these trials begin again in jan
uary, Mr.. Sans will be in charge of
the revenue agents office. and as he
is one of the governments witnesses,
and has always been relied upon by
the District Attorney as in sympathy
with his stand in thoroughly investi-
eating before juries all charges Of
fraud, whether of officers or distillers,
it would seem that Colonel Chapman'S
transfer is made with a purpose. 1t
certainly indicates that another prop
has been Knocked from Congressman
BIackburn's revenue officers, political
structure in WILKES county. and that
the Department of Justice at Washing
ton is in complete sympathy with Dis
trict Attorney Holton in his prosecu-

penses of organizing the troops for
the war with Spain, the chief item
involved being the pay Of the soldiers
from the time of their original in

the United States Army.
. The soldiers of all the States al
ready been paid directly byt heUnited
States, under an act of Congress, for
the time between their enrolment at
the State rendezvous andtheir muster
in by the United States officers. but
the Court of Claims at Washington,
has, in constoring certain other acts,
held that the government must pay
the men again, though the States, for
the whole preparatory period. This
extra pay has been collected by most
of the States for their soldiers and
Messrs. Hendren and Carter are now
closing the proof of North Carolina S
claim.
Messrs. Manly and Hendren, the
well known law firm, of Winston-S -Sa-
lem, are the attorneys employed by
Governor Glenn to look after the mat
ter, and Mr.. Carter who has charge
of the claims of several other States,
has been engaged to asst them.
Mr.. Carter said to a News and OBJ
server man:
Our chief purpose in Raleigh at
It's time is to ask the influence of the
Governor and Adjutant General of
the State in obtaining certain proof
from the late companv officers of the
troops. We sent certain roofs to
these officers. on which they were re-
quested to insert and certify the dates
of their mems first appearance for
service in the war. Most of the roofs
have come back to Messrs. Manly and
Hendren, with this work properly
done, last from sorne of the late cap
tans they have never been able TO
get a word of reply. The trouble is
that the law under which the roofs
are to be filed at Washington is limit
ed by it's own terms to January 1st,
next The men of those companies,
for which rolls are not furnished, be-
fore that day, will simply lose the pay
due A few of the late officers have
written to Messrs Manley & Hendren
and refused to furnish the date for
the reason that, in their opinion, their
men have already received as much
| pay as they ought to have. 1t has
been explained to these gentlemen
| that Congress and the Court of Claims
were not of this opinion, but they still
do not consent to furnish the facts.
