n MY LONG
CHERISHED TRIP.

[Ortginal.1
From the time I was d little girl I
desired to visit Europe, but since was
poor and with no expectations there
was no prospect of my wish ever being
gratlfed. When / was fifteen years
old ! began to save money for the pur-
pose and By the time I was t~snty-
two had sufficient amount to enable
me to purchase second class passage
out and back and remain abroad six
weeks. My friends and relatives--T
had no parents-advised me to put my
savings out at interest rather than
spend them in any such fashion, but |
replied that | had saved them for a
purpose, would not have saved them
without the purpose and did not be-
lieye In such a weathercock course as
they advised Besides, maintained
that fate did more for persons who
were floating ON the surface than for
those underneath and out Of sight,
whereupon they assumed that hoped
TO meet some rich man who would
marry me. This was unkind, for l am
and was very plain.
l was not to be deferred by sneers
and sailed with the early summer he
gira. We had rough passage, and
the person with whom was obliged
TO room, a woman Of fifty, was not
only seasick, but really i'll. There was
no one but me to look after her, and
must either do so or see her suffer
without attention l gathered from
what she told me that she was going
abroad for her health and had no def
mite plans for travel. When we reach
ed port she begged me to let her go

hood, had been seven years In saving
the few hundred dollars required to
make It, and to spend my time taking
care Of q sick woman who evidently
had no money to purchase attendance
and comforts would be terrible sac
riHce, but when we came to leave the
steamer the poor woman was so DESC
late that | hadn't the heart to leave
her alone. I took her with me to Lon
don and to the same apartment house.
The result Of this move was that, In

that was her nnme--and the only way

take her With me. / inferred that she
could not afford the expense, for she
never offered to pay the fare. Finally,
desiring to go to Paris, proposed that
she should 20 to hospital. This she
refused to do, but said she had q rela-
tive In Paris and IL I would take her
there she would not ask me to do any
thing more for her. AS / was going to
Paris It was impossible for me to re-
fuse TO allow her to go on the same
train. SO consented and, making a
virtue Of necessity, nursed her all tho

AMERICANS DIDN'T BOW
AND KING GOT ANGRY.
Edward Was "Incog." and They Thought
He Wanted to Be Unnoticed.

Marienbad, Bohemia, Sept. 4.--King
Edward and several Americans figured
in an incident here which caused quite
a iintter.
The king, teturning from hearing a
comic opera, sThe Merry Widow" with
a suite that Included the duke Of Teck,
Sir Edward Goscfen and Mr.. Drexel,
passed through room where the Amer
leans were seated. They did not rise
at his maiesty's entrance
This seeming inpoliteness offended the
king, who Is affable only when homage
is paid his rank and most pnnetilious
that every respect be shown him.
However, satisfactory explanations
were made. The Americans said that as
the king is incognito, they thought ii
conformable to his wishes not to show
any ceremony.
King Edward has spoken most gra-
ciously several times to Mrs, Hall Walk
er, an American, who is entertaining
party Of her compatriots and Of Eng
lish people here.

HARD FIGHT FOR PORT.
Little Bermudan Steamer TO1oed in
by Mallory Liner.

After lighting her way from Bermuda for
seven days through a westerly gale that might
have wrecked a craft of twice her tonnage. the
little s6-f foot steamboat Taniwha with only three
buckets Of coal left aboard towed into port
yesterday by the Mallory liner Sabine. When
towed into the East River yesterday the little
craft drew only three feet of water in the bow.
She has considerable freeboard. and her escape
from the rough seas and the gale, she encoun-
tered was the marvel of the waterfront,
The Tanwha left Bermuda on May Is. where
she is owned by II. d Outerbridge She had
bad weather after leaving, and nearly all
her coal was consumed in keeping her head to
the wind. She drifted to point eighty-five
miles southeast of Winterquarter Shoal where
she was picked up on Tuesday by the Mallory
liner Sabine, from Brunswick. and towed TO port.
There was plenty of food aboard but the
water supply became exhausted. The second
officer was forced to share a bottle of beer-the
only thing drinkabe aboard-with the captain.
The Taniwha carried crew of nine men. She
built at Braintree, Mass. and was formerly
the City of Quincy.

NO HARTMAN DELAY.
TO ACT ON INVESTIGATION
Com mission UW Not Wmt for De,
ciSiOn on Refusals to AnS1Cer.

Washington. May 22.-The Interstate Com
merce Commission does not intend to await the
result of the proceedings TO be instituted against
E. H. Hartman to compel him to answer certain
Inquiries that put to him in the New York
investigation before taking action on the gen.
eral subject of the investigation.
The members OF the commission believe it may
be a year even more before final decision
can be reached regarding the efforts to compel
Mr.. Hartman to answer it's questions. The
proceedings to that end will be instituted in the
courts of the Southern District of New York the
latter part of this month the first Of next
month They will be for the purpose of obtain
ing an order from the court to compel Mr.. Harrt-
man to respond to the inquiries. 1t is expected
that If the court should issue such order, Mr.
Hartman would carry the TO higher courts,
and eventually to the Supreme Court. Should
the lower courts decision be adverse to the COM
mission II is probable that it will carry the mat
ter to the highest tribunal as the question in
wolves right OF the commission which 1t be-
leves It ought TO exercise in an untrammelled
way.
The would have been brought in the New
York courts earlier than this, but the attorneys
of the commission have been engaged on other
important work. The arguments in the Stand
ard OIL cases which are to take place IN ST.
Kellogg and Severance for several days. and
they will not be able 10 take UP the Hartman
matter until after that time.
Without reference. however. to the deternina-
ton OF that question. the commission will con-
slider the merits of the general inquiry into the
Hartman lines case. and reach its conclusion on
the facts presented II is likely that the report
of the commission on the Hartman case will be
made up and published-for it is the intention
OF the commission to make II pubc-long be-
fore. a fnaIstieter,nination OF the proceedings to
compel Mr.. Hartman to answer the mooted
questions is reached.
What the report OF the commission may be
cannot be foretold. because the commission. as a
body has not considered the subject in its gen
eral phases. A pressure OF other work has COM
PEELED the commission 10 postpone definite ac-
tion on the Hartman inquiry The indications
are however, that determination OF the case
will be reached in few weeks.

by the city about two years ago, and since then
all the latest surveys have accurately hit this
