HEROINE OF THE WATERFRONT

The heroine of the first ascent this season of the Matterhorn, or Mont Ger win, as its familiars in the Valais Can ton still love to call it, is a young girl of seventeen, Mile. Gindraux, the daughter of a Zermatt stationer, who has already caught the public eye more than once in local mountaineering circles. Twice during the last fort night Mile GindrauX, who determined to attempt the ascent unanccompanied
 except by her two guides, Perrin and Binner, was prevented by dangerous"
 weather, as she described it, but on
 Monday last the conditions were favor able and a start was made.
 The party left zermatt at p. m,
 haltlng at the Lac Noir Hotel, an hour below the Alpine Club hut, to enable
 the venturesome young climber to
 change into a very masculine looking
 climbing costume After a brief rest
 and some supper at the cabin. Down
 in Zermatt all the telescopes in the vil- lage were levalled at the shoulder of the great peak, where the climbers movements could be seen, and at 8 o'clock in the morning great cheer from the crowds of visitors and villa gers announced that the Matterhorn
 had been won for the first time this season, and by a girl of seventeen! The descent was commenced an hour later, and at 6 D. m. the little party was safe ly back in zermati, and the plucky lit tie climber was receiving the con- gratulatulati0ns of her friends.
 Mile. Grindraux's was a genuine climbing feat; she scorned the assist
 ance of her guides, and climbed "as we'll as any man." as Binner expressed 1 it. Asked fthe rarefxed air did not trouble her on the summit, Mile. Gin draux said she felt no inconvenience
 My only regret was" she added. "that we could not go on climbing" A Ger 1 man gentleman, who had set his heart
 or being first up this season; chival- rously gave way when he heard of Mile GindrauX's intention, and started an hour be hind the ploner party. Two years ago Mile. Glndrauais brother made the first ascent of the season; he
 was accompanied by the guide Zum- hangwald.-Pall Mail Gazette.

SUSPENDED THREE MONTHS
FIREMAN FRANCIS [. KIERNAN
 FOUND GUILTY

Evidence of Lieutenant Bryant Showed
 Him Unfit for Duty on Afternoon of
 September 7-- Pleads Guilty but
 Thought Lieutenant Bryant Too
 Nasty in Judgment-OnIy Short Time
 in Department.
 Fireman Francis L. Kiernan of En- zine No. 6 was suspended for three months last night by the board of fire commissioners for intoxication while on duty The charges against Kiernan were preferred by Chief Fancher on complaint of Lieutenant Bryant, and were to the effect that Kiernan was so intoxicated on the afternoon of Septem- Der as to be unable to perform his duties. He was at that time suspend ed by the chief until the charges could be investigated by the board of fire commissioners.
 When put to plea last night, ,Kiernan reluctantly replied guilty but qualified his statement by saying that he thought Lieutenant Bryant had acted hastily and had not used Judgment in filing the charges against him.. He also testified that he had not touched any liquor on September ', but had drank some on the previous day, which was his day off.
 Lieutenant Bryant said that Kiernan was perfectly sober when he reported fer duty on that morning. Chief Fan cher reported Lieutenant Bryant's statements as to Kiernan's condition on the afternoon mentioned.
 ] The case is a very unfortunate one, Kiernan was appointed a hosenan only last June, and had proved himself a splendid fireman.
 There has been an intimation for some time that some of the men in the department have at times taken a drink or so when off for meals, and the superior officers have had great deal of reticence in saying anything about the matter, as the men have con tinued doing their duty. A fire official in speaking of Kiernan's case yester- day, said that possibly his suspension may act as a warning to others
 The remainder of the session last night was spent in making out esti. mates of expenses in the department for next year

GOVERNMENT FORCES
 PARADE IN HAVANA
(Contlnued from First Page.)


 The development of the day was the admission that the American cruiser Des Moines, which sailed yesterday hastily from Norfolk, had gone south ward to Key West, with the ultimate purpose of proceeding to Havana if de- velopments within the next two days seem to warrant such action At Key West the Des Moines will be about eight hours run from Havana, and while waiting there Commander Halsey will be in close communication with the navy department, prepared to immedi- ately carry out any request from the department of state. There. is no in- tention in this movement of the Des Moines of showing any partiality by the American government towards one side or the other in the present conflict in Cuba. The ship will be at Havana to serve as an asylum in case of need and be at the disposition of the Amer ican charge. She is not formidable craft, being only of 3100 tons displace- ment and with main battery of six inch guns, but for the duty intended she will be quite as effective as a bat tleship.
 So, as stated to-day officially, it is the purpose of the administration tc proceed with great deliberation in deal ing with the Cuban question, and il was said on the highest authority thai there would be no intervention by the United States unless the rebellion as sumed the proportions of a general con- flagration.
 Another interesting statement iron official sources was to the effect that careful inquiry had satisfied the ad. ministration that none of the great American capitalists interested in Gu. ban plantations and properties had ex. pressed a desire for the intervention o1 this government under the terms of th( Platt amendment
