 and his desertion, l do rive and bequeath the sum of Sl.OO0 md the memory of his misspent youth"
 It was very quiet in the wide, richly furnished library. The May night was still, but a faint suspiration heavy with the fragrance of jasmine flowers stirred the Venetian blind before the open window and rustled the moon uilvsred leaves of the aspens outside. As the incisive professional pronounce ment of the judge cut through the si- !ence the grim face on the pillow of the wheel chair set more grimly, a girl seated in the shadow of the lire screen caught her breath, and from across the table the Rev. Henry San derson turned his handsome, clean shaven face and looked at the old man. A peevish misogynist the neighbor- hood labeled the latter, with the parish chapel for hobby and for thorn-in-the- aesh this only son Hugh, black sheep whose open breaches of decorum the town had borne as best 1t might till the tradition of his forbsars toek him Dff to an eastern university. A reck- Jess life there and three wastrel years abroad had sent him back to resume his peccadilloes on larger scale, to quarrel bitterly with his father and to leave his home in anger.
 "wait," came the querulous voice from the chair. Write in 'graceless' before the word 'desertion.'
 ''For his absolute career and, his graceless assertion" repeated the law

 The later night was very still, and the moon. lifting like paper lantern over the aspen tops, silvered all the landscape. In its placid radiance the white house loomed in ghostly pallor. The windows of one side were blank, but behind the library shade the bulbous lamp still drowsed like a mon- ster glowworm. From the shadowy side of the building stretched narrow L, its front covered by rose trellis whose pale blossoms in the soft night air mingled their delicate fragrance with that of the jasmine.
 Save for the one bright pane there seemed now no life or movement in the house. But outside in the moon light a lurching. shabbily clothed fig ure moved, making his uncertain way with the deliberation of composed in ebriety. The sash of the window was raised a few inches, and he nodded sagely at the yellow shade.
 "Gay old silver top" he hiccoughed, "see you in the morningw
 He capsized against an althea bush and shook his head with owlish gravi- ty as he disentangled himself. Then he staggered serepely to the rose trellis and, choosing its angle with an assur- ance that betrayed ancient practice, climbed to the upper window. shot it's bolt with a knife and let himself in. He painstakingly closed both windows and inner blinds before he turned on an electric light.
 In the room in which he now stood he had stored his boyish treasures and shirked his maturer tasks. It should have had deeper human associations, too, for once, before the house had been enlarged to its present propor- Hons, that chamber had been his moth CTS.

Hearst Charges.
 Cincinnati, Sept 19.-Although the Hearst and Foraker controversy was the absorbing topic of political discus sion and speculation, there was posi- tive insistence on the part of those who did the discussing and speculating that what. they said should not appear in print as coming from them. Mir Taft read MT. Foraker's reply to Mir. Hearst.

DUEL WITH BURGLARS.

In q desperate fight with two burglars,
early yesterday, Thore WahlgreD, =
gardener on the estate Of James I Bur-
dep, jr., at Westbury, Long Island, N.
Y, was shot in the breast he is dying
in tho Nassau County Hospital at MIG
cola.
Mr.. and Mrs. Burden were away from
b 1me at the time, being guests of Mrs.
John Jacob Astor at the ball given by
her at her home, $40 Fifth avenue, New
York, in honor of Miss Gladys Wander
bilt and her 6ance, Count Szschenyi. In
their absence Wahlgren and his assist
n, Richmond Stills, occupied rooms in
the house to protect II.
Shortly before dawn Wahlgren heard
q noise 10 the basement, and without
awakening Silis, took bis revolver and
crept downstairs.
The burglars heard him, and az they
arted to fee Wshlgren fred at them.
The burglars returned the FIRE, and while
they opened the front door Of ths base
meut Wablgren 6red again. AS the
robbers returned the FIRE, one Of the bull
lets struck the Waterman, and he sank
to the fOor he had just enough
strength left to FIRE again before he be-
came unconscious.
As the ROBBERS got away without lesv-
ing any trail, 1t is probable that all Of
Wahlgren's shots went wild.
Silis heard the shooting, and rushed
revolver 10 hand, but before
he reached the basement, the men had
fed. Wahlgren was lying In a pool Of
blood. so Stills summoned wagon and
hurried him to the hospital.
From the amount Of loot packed up II
Is believed the men had been in the
house for some time. Two baskets had
been filed with silverware.

EX-GOVERNOR ACCUSED.

In debate 10 the Maryland Legislature
yesterday the President Of the Senate,
Gen. J. B. Seth, by series ofquestions,
in effect charged that in the campaign
of 1903 Hon. Edwin WArfeld, 10 re-
turn for financial support, made certain
pledges 10 the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road and to other corporations.
General Seth charged by innueudo
tbs, the Governor had misspplied pub
lie funds aud bad used the States
money TO pay for flowers at his dsug hter's
party. Hs also charged that the ex-
Governor had endesvored to sell State
securities for less than their value, and
that he had used his influence to keep
relative on the States payroll, who
performed no service.
General Seth used the most insulting
language with regard to the ex-Gover.
nor, comparing him to "a Percheron
stallion with a red bride at county
fair"
Ex-Governor Wa6eld, when lold of
the charges, said that they were too pre-
posterous to merit any reply. Never;he-
less, he reiuted them, and Mr., Hugh L.
Bond, vice-president sDd general counsel
of the Baltimore and Ohio Rsilrosd,
made denial Of the statements which
had reference to his company.

MEMORIAL BRIDGE.

Senator Daniels bill for SIS. 600, 900
memorial bridge across the Potomac
river to Arlington was passed by the
Senate yesterday afternoon without OPP
position. The bill was favorably re-
ported from the Senate District committee
last week by Senator Martin. A bill for
the construction of a memorial bridge
has been introduced and passed the
senate before, but it has never been
fsvorsbly acted upon by the House.
By Senator Daniels bill the Secretary
Of War is authorized to construct the
bridge from some point in the former
Naval Observatory grounds, which lie
at the foot ofTwenty-fourth street north
west Washington to the Arlington estate.
The plans for the bridge are to be ap-
proved by board consisting of the Secre-
tary of War, the president pro TEN of
the Senate, the Speaker OF the House,
and the chairmen Of the District COM
mittee of both House and Senate. Five

MR.. BRYAN,s SPEECH.

The bslloting in the Ksuiucky legisla.
ture yesterday for a successor to U. s.
Senator James 3. McOresry was without
result. The feature of the day was an
address By William J. Bryan.
"In all countries there are Two parties
all the time" Mr.. Bryan declared
abe sristocrstic party, distressing the
people, and the democratic party, trying
10 get in close touch with the people.
An aristocrat is not easily converted into
a democrat. he must be born sgaiO.
| believe that at heart majority OF
those who call themselves republicans
are democrats.
Occasionally these aristocrats gei into
the legislature. The sristocra,ic view
is that the legislator is elected because
he can think for bimself. The EN-.
bezzlement OF power Is as great a crime
as the embezzlemeht OF money"
Here Mr.. Bryan made reference 10 the
man who is elected and then goes to
legislature aud votes against the wishes
of the people who sent him. 81 hope
the time will come" he said, "wheD
such betrayeIs Will be whipped out OF
power"
The warning of President Roosevelt
as to the great fortunes which many
persons had built up owing to the growth
of corporations, Mr.. Bryan warmly com.
mended. He said that the recent
money scare was caused by fictitious
values. He said every State should
pass such laws as would make inpossi-

by dozen. Il wac only 8 question OF
time, when every one Of consequence
would be pledged. 1t is very doubtful
that iheGoverDor hes much chance now.
He was waited too long" The Hughes
followers SCOT at the latter suggestion.
"That statement will settle the fate OF
Taft in New York." exclaimed one OF
them. "You will see them falling over
themselves 10 get Hughes corner OF the
lot, like q bunch of chickens coming
for their feed"
The response of Secretary Cortelyou
10 the resolution of the Senate calling
for Information regarding the recent
operations of the treasury depS,tm ent
10 connection with the money crisis is
expected next Monday. 10 the mean-
time, there will probably be no meetings
OF the Senate finance committee to dis
cuss currency legislation. Should the
Cortelyou mstter be laid before the Sen
ate on Monday, the committee will re-
sumo consideration of the AldFich bill
next day. Just when the measure will
be reported back to the Senate is
problematical. Senator Aldrich's state
ment that his bill may be amended, go ss
to make it obligatory upon national
banks to meet sIl thsir demand
obligations in cash, thus abolish
ing the future issuing of clearing house
certificates, cashiers checks, etc., ac-
companied by bis suggestion that he
may call upon some banks which adopted
the latter subterfuge, although they had
actual cash on hand to meet the de-
mauds of their deposi.ors, is regarded
here as warning to certain OF the
western bankers that they had better
cease their opposition to the passage Of
the Aldrich bill, unless they want to
have some oil their acts, which have
been termed questionable, made the SUBJ
ject of investigation.
Speaker Cannon has been invited to
speak at the banquet to be given by

sons on February 22nd and has accepted
