One day Lady Geraldine Unexpectedly
received news that her father had ar

her at fashionable Philadelphia hotel.
As my money was nearly gone, decided
to leave on the same train. We met
again in the parlor car, and the pretty
English woman easily persuaded me to
accompany her to the hotel where she
would be pleased to introduce me to her
father, Lord Something or Other.

Allen spent an uncomfortable morning
in various billiard rooms and other re-

get his thoughts away from Gerrine, so
he concluded to wend his way back to
camp and try to forget her in some of
the duties of camp life. He therefore
soon found himself again nearing the
mouse where dwelt his erstwhile lady
love, and which he must pass on his way

turned to the conversation that had re-

AppARITION THAT SAVED MY LIFE

myself loose, for my feet seemed to be
glued to the marble floor, and rushed
down the big staircase.
As did so, I imagined that the bell

I now see my very hand that holds the
pen-the exact likeness of the youngster
that spooked my dreams-fourteen to
fifteen years old, his chest covered with
round metal buttons. Silver lace down
the seams of his trousers. There was
his blonde hair, there were his fishy
eyes and the stereotyped smile, the MINI
bic curtsy of his inviting hand.
The elevator evidently waited for
number of patrons after l had left, for
it had not descended when I reached the
vestibule. Exhausted, bewildered, I
threw myself into one of the chairs
placed in the aisle opposite the elevator.
Suddenly don't know whether it was
seconds or minutes after l had become
seated-there was an awful crash and
noise.
When l came to the floor in front of
me was covered with five or six dead
bodies, over whom white cloth had been
hastily thrown. Blood was oozing
through the CLOTH I was too much
frightened to ask questions.
At the same time an elderly gentle
man who knelt beside one of the figures
on the floor, said: "This woman whom
you call Lady Geraldine is dead like the

POLITICS DOES NOT
AFFECT THE CANAL
ENCOUNTERS WOULD BE OUT
SIDE AMERICAN ZONE.
THE LOCK TYPE is FAVORED
Chief Engineer Stevens Says Commits
sion Should Know at Once
What Plan Is to Be
Followed.

Washington, May 30.-"Although I
have little time to look into political
conditions in Panama, | do not think
there is danger of any serious revolu-
ton on the isthmus of Panama" :"
Chief Engineer Stevens, of the 18TH
milan canal commission, said Tues
day. THE Panama railway was
never affected seriously by revolutions
on the isthmus and even if there were
to be an insurrection, l do not think
the canal zone would be involved in
the disorder. Any encounters would
doubtless be without the zone"
Mr.. Stevens since his arrival in
Washington, has been in conference
with the members of the commission
and appeared before the house COM
mittee on appropriations. Mr.. Stevens
urged the desirability of the lock type
and made it plain that the commission
should know at once what type is to
be constructed.
Must Know Type of Canal.
In speaking of the future of canal
work, Mr.. Stevens said:
I'VE have now come to the parting
of the ways and must know what sort
OF canal we are to build Just before
l left the isthmuS .ne first of the new
locomotives and large cars arrived
and within three months we shall
have the necessary equipment to make
the dirt fly. So far practically all the
digging which has been done was for
the purpose of laying tracks and get
ting ready to make use of the large
cars and other machinery upon it's ar
rival. Now the plant for handling the
dirt is almost ready and halt must
soon be called if it is not known
whether the canal is to be Of the lock
or sea level type"
Health Condition Good.
Mr.. Stevens is very enthusiastic
about the conditions and says it has
been demonstrated that cleanliness
makes Panama safe place to live,
The danger on the isthmus now lies
without the zs ?, in the ports that
have the yeilGN fever, and effective
international quarantine is necessary
to protect the isthmus.
/: Mr.. Stevens left Washington Tues
day afternoon for Boston, where he
will visit his son, who is a student at
Phillips-Andover academy he will
return to Washington on Thurs day
and expects to sail for Panama next
week.

PUSHES TO CAPTURE CITY
GEN. BARILLAS Is EXPECTED TO
TAKE QUETZALTENANGO.
Foreign Interests and Best Native Ele-
ment Said to Be United for
Revolutionists.

Mexico City, May 30.-News from
the Guatemalan frontier will be some
what interrupted owing to the revo-
lutionists having cut the wires, but
messengers ON horseback will be dis
patched from Ocos, where Gen. Cas-
tillo has his forces, and from the
lying column of Gen. Barillas, who is
pushing on to the important city Of
Quetzaltenango with 10000 inhabitants.
That city is likely to be occupied by
Gen. Barillas Thursday He is i'm
mensely popular in that region.
The revolution is the most widely
spread OF any in the history of that
country. Foreign planters have been
waiting for months for Gen. Barillas
to act. Practically all foreign interests
and many of the best natives support
the revolution. Frequent abuse of
power is charged to the government.
Gen. Barillas and Gen. Castillo and
their two aids left the city by neat
piece of strategy. On the 11th instant
they bought tickets to Ell Paso over
the Mexican Central, and, boarding
the night train, the revolutionists left
the train a few miles out of this city
and returned and boarded a special
Pullman car stocked with provisions
and carrying their saddles and special
luggage and in this car went down
over the Vera Cruz railway and onto
the Tehuantepec road and then pro
ceeded to Tonala on the Pacific coast
over the new Pan-American railway
which now approaches the Guatemalan
boundary. By starting presumably to
the United States, Guatemalan repre-
sentatives stationed here were outwit.

WEDDING FEAST IN STREET
San Francisco Couple Breakfast
Guests in the Open Before
Ruined Homes.

San Francisco.-Followin the sol.
emnization of the wedding vows of
Theodore Connolly and Miss Villa
Thirsted few days ago, a wedding
breakfast was served to the guests at
the residence of the elder brother of
the groom at Central avenue and Page
street, and that wedding breakfast
spoke well for the spirit that is typical
of the new San Francisco.
Weeks ago the ceremony was
planned. The groom, in association
with his four elder brothers, was en-.
gagged in prospering grocery business
on Fourth street. The store went up
in flames. A fine trousseau had been
prepared for the bride. That, too,
finery being saved. But there was nc
postponement of the wedding, and
even the breakfast contemplated by
the original arrangement was not dis,
pensed with.
For some time the families of the
contracting parties had been on the
hunt for delicacies of the sort that
properly constitute wedding repaSt,
and when one of the brothers Of the
groom happened on a stock of cham.
pagne sufficient for the repast, joy was
unbounded. Immediately after the
wedding the breakfast was served, and
soon after the last words of felicita.
tion had been pronounced the groom
and his brothers were hustling about
to get into contract with contractors
and builders, while the bride was
busily engaged on the preparation of
the evening meal, being by no means
to proud to WOO the cook stove that
stood in the gutter in front Of the one
home left to the family. There can't
be much the matter with San Francis
co when that spirit prevails.
