he left the strongest impress of his
personality. He was born physi-
clan. Born in Ireland and coming
to New York when a mere child, he
knew what hard work and poverty
meant in childhood, and absorbed a
large share of his education after
coming to manhood's estate. His
] family lived near Columbus, Wis,
at the breaking out Of the civil war,
and it was at that place that he en-
listed in the 23d Wisconsin, being
made sergeant major Of the regi-
ment soon after. He saw plenty of
hard service in that famous regi-
ment, and it was in connection with
his services for the sick and wound
ed that he probably came to take up
the medical profession, as he en-
tered Rush Medical college very soon
after his discharge from the serv-

Perhaps DR.. Films dominant
characteristic was modesty, and his
considerateness for the feelings as

and only came to know the real
worth of the doctor through the
good report of his friends and occa-
sional sick room experiences. The
doctor was a tireless student of
books and of men. More than once
we remember seeing him start out
on his professional calls, with a late
magazine in hand, picking up such
reading as he might while his driver
attended to the team. This was in
his later career. for the doctor
dispensed with the luxury of driy-
er during his early practice in this
county. He was an omnivorous read
er, but he nevertheless found time
to hunt up and draw out the inter-
esting and virile characters that
usually go towards the making Of a
frontier community. He liked to
hear men talk who had something
to say worth listening to.
It is vain to try and recall the

But it was true. Col. Roosevelt

that when the convention of 1900
gathered in Philadelphia Platt APP

demurred. He didn't like Roosevelt.
Platt pointed out that Roosevelt's
continued existence would be ter

There was only one way to end it.
The highest form of political poison

Hanna consented to administer the

that the interview had lasted long enough Indeed,
it had lasted too long, if her magic to avail
against the swift working magic of love. Alas, poor
soul! Do you think that BEANS seven, and

She shook her head. Tsatsar-ab-harlem would

1t cannot be tonight. If tried to go, Tsatsar-

he would kill us BOTH
Il might do little killing myself" Weir said
fercely.
If you could kill him quietly, it would be very
well, Rhasneh said simply; " but he would make

and kissed her again.
Tsatsar-ab-harlem escorted him outside the gate

dug hole in the ground with her hands, and buried

rooms. a task that she performed with
more strictness this night than ever
before And Rhasneh, for the first
time in her life, arrayed herself in
her best clothes without the help of
maid But love lent her dexterity,
and when finally Weir was usherel
into her sitting room, he came upon
a lovely vision of Turkish beauty.
She was sitting on three cushions in
the middle of the floor, with screens
arranged round the room SO that no
light should shine outside, but all be
concentrated upon her. She wore
loose, gauzy garments of pale pink,
pale yellow, pale green, and outside
of all one of the blue of the Turkish
sky. Her hair was done on the top of
her head, with only fresh flowers as
adornment.
Rhasneh, who should have re-
manned in dignity, sitting on her
cushions, forgot all about dignity
when her lover came in, and jumped
to her feet.
Welcome, sir!" she said, and
stopped The words were formal, the
tone tremulous She had rehearsed
this interview a thousand times: the
things she should say, and the things
he would say, after the manner
of heroes and heroines in books
and now she was speeches.. She
simply stood and blushed, and looked
had she known it-as never before
in her life she had looked But she
did not know it. She thought she
was very awkward and stupid, and
hardly dared to raise her eyes to
those of her lover. When she did,
however, she was no longer afraid
He was just as she had pictured him
Just as she had dreamed of him
and she read in Weirs eyes something
that treasured her, that made her no
longer think she was awkward and
stupid; something that held her
and would not let her glance waver
away.
Weir was seeing her for the
first time without her veil He had
not thought of her as one so delicate,
SO slender, so very young. At his
hotel he believed he could have told
all about her; but now-she was so
much better. He only yearned to
take her into his arms The sight of
her beauty enthralled him so that c

DENVER, Colo, April 23.-The most
important phase Of the present contro-
versy between the management Of
the Denver &, Rio Grande railway and
the Brotherhood Of Railway Trainmen
and Order of Railroad Conductors has
developed in the shape Of an official
statement that the railroad officials IN
tended to ask for the services Of Labor
Commissioner Neill and Interstate Com
merce Commissioner Knapp as mediators
TO settle the dispute, which has reached
an acute stage.
The count Of the ballots, which was
finished last night, showed a practi-
cally unanimous sentiment for strike
on the part Of the trainmen, while the
majority Of the conductors In favor of
striking was large.
The result of tho ballot was officially
announced at the conference between
the men and the officials of the road to-
day. The officials of the railroad or
carnations were non committal on the
subject of mediation, but it is believed
they have no serious objections to the
move on the part of the company.
The long conferences have resulted
In disagreement on the wage increase

sition Of accepting the company s offer
OF 1863 per cent increase to freight men,
