CHAPTER XVIII.

The sight of the man took Audrey back
to the past. At once the memory OF
horrible few moments returned to her
mind. She saw again the cold, cherries
coppice, the wavy, empty trees and was
struggling to escape from the insulting
presence Of the valet Downs. What was
this man doing on board the Mona?
Audrey was not sorry when she could
retire to her cabin: she felt tired and
dreary IL 1t had not been for Mrs. Hum
gerford and Willie Fullerton she would
have been wretched all the evening. Bev-
erley had made no effort at conversation
with her, for which she was glad. To

 Locks THROWN OVER.

New York. August 10.-There was an other disorderly break in prices of stocks with the beginning of trading at the stock exchange, which carried some stocks down to lower prices than were touched during the week. Speculative sentiment took fresh alarm at the tone of state ment by Attorney General Bonaparte, after his interview with the President yesterday in which the aggressive determination of the administration to push the pursuit of corporations along various lines was asserted. Holders of securities threw them on the market in large blocks The market made temporary stand against the pressure, but after small rallies plunged downwards again.
 New York Central sold today at 1o61s, the lowest point since 1898.
 No effective support appeared and the lowest prices were touched near the close Many rumors circulated of money trouble in London or at Berlin, and of a deter imitation by the trust magnates to with draw support and let the market take care of itself.

l Afro American society which applies tho standard of American morals and man. ners to its own conduct While the ne groes are represented on the school board have places of honor and profit under the district government, and enjoy equal ity before the law the presence of such large numbers of the race is partly re- sponsible for Washington's peculiar gov ernment, for not all Washington negroes are of the better class. Many of them are ignorant and shiftless, and the criminal records of the district show this lower class in an unfavorable light The last annual report showed that of the total number of births among the negro population of the city, more than 25 per cent were illlgitimate. It would be prac- tcally impossible to persuade Congress as at present constituted, to give the Dis triet of Columbia suffrage on the South Carolina plan, and thus eliminate the negro vote. If universal manhood suff- rage was granted the national capital would be ruled by the negroes, and there is no party or faction in Congress how ever small, which Is willing that such a condition of affairs should be brought about. This condition deters agitation for the suffrage.
 Washington has kept full pace with the times in its growth. When the era of m- provement began thirty-five years ago, the capital was but a swampy, over grown country village. Even the possi- bilty of it's present magni1cenoe was unthought of. The present plan of gov ernment has been in operation twenty nine years. In that time the population of the district has doubled. The bonded debt has been decreased over one-half. The work of improvement and beautlf-
 ion has been pushed forward without
 tsng. The resources of the financial
 titutons of the city have been in-
 ased from $20,050 900 to $100, ,000 900. The
 ht organizations of the fire department
 e grown to thirty-two. The police
 has been tripled. The street light
 power has been multiplied six-fold.
 sanitation has been so much im-
 that the death rate has decreased

 36,9 to 2S.& among the negroes. The non union station, with approaches abolishing grade crossings, involves an expenditure by railroads and the district of ST, coo, GOO The improvement in all respects continues
 Said writer in the Atlantis Monthly. just before the civil war: Washington Is Elysium of oddities the Limbo of ansurdties, an imbroglio of ludicrous anomalies. Planned on scale of sur passing grandeur, it's architectural execu- tion is almost contemptible. It has a monument that will never be finished a capitol that lacks a dome, and a scien- tifc institute which does nothing but re- port the rise and fall of the thermom- eter." The prospect must have been dis- couraging at that time but what a change we find today.

RENDERS DECISION.
Courts Must Collect Judgments On
 Forfeltures,

Huntsville, August 0.-(special) Judge Hundley handed down an opinion today an the case of the United States against J. T. Nooiin of very great interest and Importance For the past fifteen or twenty years numerous judgments have 'been rendered by the federal courts In this district on forfeitures taken for the failure to appear in criminal cases. These judgments in numerous cases have been allowed to stand without enforce ment. until the department of justice gave Instructions to the district attorney of this district to look up all such mat ters and to proceed to enforce same. These uncolected judgments now amount to two or three hundred thousand dollars In this district so 1t is said. and District At torney Street recently began vigorous ac- ton to collect the same
 The first case presented involved the question at issue, was the case of the ' "'-.es vs. J. T. NooJin, and came

 which was not enforceable at
 lg, that the action of the gov
 officials in not proceeding for
 ten years had the effect of nullifylng the judgment and that 1t was barred by the statute of limitations, as prescribed by the Alabama statute.
 owing to the great importance of this matter, both to the government and to persons in early every county in this district, Judge Hundley took the case under advisement and has been working upon his ophion since the adjournment of the court at Birmingham. In the opin ion banded down today he dismisses Noo- jins motion to quash the execution, and holds that the statute of Limitations does not run against the government, but that the legal maxim "nullum tempus oecurit regf' applies in the United States both to the federal government and to the several states. except where express statutory provisions exist to the contrary. Judge Hundley further holds that the | laches and negligence of the governments :. agencies, from the grounds of great pub lie policy cannot In any manner affect the right of the federal government in the enforcement of government matters. The effect of Judge Hundley's opinion Is to revivify and put In full force and effect all of these judgments, with out regard to their age and without re- gard to any negligence on the part of the officials Of the government in fail- ing to enforce the same. The opinion Is exhaustive upon the question and is sus- tained by citation of numerous authori- .ies, both state and federal.

Veterans:
 As the representative of the United Confederate Veterans I extend hearty congratulations on the liberal appro- prlation made by the legislature for erecting monuments to the memory of Alabama soldiers; and I indulge the hope that this measure will meet with your ready approval. The valor displayed on many hotly contested battlefields by the gallant men of Ala bama was never excelled by the troops from any other section, and they em- inently deserve all the monuments and other evidences of appreciation that can be conceived to bear testimony to their meritorious behavior on all oc. casions."
