MARY I've been a good father to
you, haven't II"
yes, father, you've always been
good to me- she replied, evidently
surprised at this unusual remark from
her father, who had exacted so much
and given so little in return, but then
he was lonely old man, and never
meant to be selfish and mean and un
reasonable, she thought.
~ wonder how you'll get along with
out me, Mary" he continued, and his
voice shook perccptibly
Hush, father; you must not talk
like that: youll last for many a long
day yet"
The old man chuckled to himself

he replied. significantly.
That's right, father Why. you're a
younger man than many a one hal
your age" she remarked, cheerfully.
'Do you think so? DO you think
so, daughter" A look of eager hope
came into his eyes.
"Of course do; any one with hall
an eve can see that" she said, in 9
tone of mild surprise.
MARY, I've got something I want &c

What is it. father? You are not III

"No, daughter; never felt better in
my life"
by the way, how long is it since
Harry Johnston dled?" he asked.
Mary glanced up in astonishment
about two years ago" she said
What made you think of him, father?
I'll -going-to--to tell yor
that am going to marry Harry John
ston's widow" he blurted out. Il jus
wanted to know what you thought o
her"
Father" she cried, and her face
lost all its healthy glow. She stood
staring at him in strange, vacant
manner as though unable to realize
what he meant
We'll! Wen" he remarked testify
what have you got to say against it?'
Nothing, fother. DO whatever yoI
think Is for the best"
Both remained silent for a moment

CHINA THREATENED
Portuguese WarShips Ordered Out and
 Situation Is Acute.

Lisbon, Nov 15, via F'rontier-Dis- patches received here from Macao, China, state that the Chinese have occupied the colony which Is Portu- guese territory, and that the situation is most serious. The natives refuse to obey the Portuguese authorities and the Chinese troops, which have Infested the place, have seized the customs Fighting is momcntarily eX- pected The preteXt advanced by China for her action ill occupying this territory is that when the Japanese steamer Tatsu Maru was captured by the Chinese two miles of Macao, Portugal, in order to avoid the re- eponSibiity of intervening, claimed that tho seizure was in Chinese wa tcrs, This, according to the Chinese government, amounted to a renuncia- tion of Portugal's sovereign rights in Macao.
 Al a cabinet meeting to-day it was decided to despatch to the scene of trouble the cruisers Rainha Dora Amelia, Adamster and Patria and tho gunboat Riolima The Portuguese newspapers arc unanimously of the opinion that the situation is very acute.

SCORES IDLE RICH
Rev, Endicott Peabody Says They Are Vicious and Men
 ace Society.
NO FEAR OF AUTHORITY
But Fear of Things Is Degrading to Modern Lifc--Progrcss in Some
 Ways, Retrogression in Others.

Rev. Endicott Peabody, headmaster of Groton school where President Roosevelt sent his sons, Theodore and Kirmitt to prepare for Harvard, preached in Battell chapel to the Yale students yesterday morning and di- rected his address against the idle rich.
 "The idle rich, he sald "are vic- ious. They are the most vicious ele- ment in our civilization and the most dangerous as their influence Is so far reaching, And nearly as bad are those members of society who are un- able 10 stand prosperity.
 Some years ago a mother came to me and said she would hope great things of her son were 1t not for the fact that he would inherit large property, and this she feared would ruin him Her fears were well found- ed, 1t subsequently appeared, for the other day he died, the victim of dis spation after dissipation into which he was plunged by his wealth, in- stead of putting it to some good use.
 "ls our civilization then on an en- tirely wrong basis? In some ways think lt is. but in other ways we are constantly improving, At periods in the worlds history we have thought we have reached the height of civill- 2ation, but we have been able to pro- gress beyond, until those improve mcnts of which we have been so proud are out of date.
 "We no longer know what fear of persons ls This we have oltgrown We have no fear of people in high au- thority now, of the heads of govern ment. This sometimes is carried to too far an extent. IL seems sometimes as if we no longer had fear of God.
 "On the other hand we have fear of things, fear which is degrading We have fear of riches, of prosperity of other conditions. Early in the century everything was revolution, everything was changing and appear cd to be coming better. Then aa a poet said: Tt is great to live in these days, but 1t is heaven itself to be young Then the fear of things was ovcrthrown. Now things are in the saddle and ride mankind"

PREPARING FOR WAR
Austria Concentrating Troops at Points
 on Scryian Border.

Vienna. Nov. 15--It Is scmi- officially stated that owing to Servia's contin- ued provocative attitude, the Austro- Hungarian government Is determined to take special military measures without further delay. These meas urcs will be purely of defensive na- ture, consisting probably in the con- centraton of large bodies of troops at strategetic points in Bosnia and Croa- tia. It is reported that Servia has re- called her minister from Vienna, but this cannot be confirmed.
 Ccttlnje Montenegro, Nov l5.--'rho Montencgrtn government has sent a protest to Austra-llungary against tho crossing of the frontier by Aus trIan guards on several instances and their refusal to retire until the Mon tencgrin frontier guard threatened to fire It Is asserted that Austria is ac- cumulating huge quantities of war material and greatly strengthening the garrisons along the frontier.

MAY GIVE EIGHT HOUR DAY
Report That Local Publishing Houses
 Win Grant Ii January |.

The Labor Herald. tho new weekly paper devoted to the labor cause in this city. contains the following In It's Issue of Saturday;
 There has been a persistent rumor about town for the past few weeks that some of the larger employing printers who have resisted the de- mands of the Typographical union for the past three years were to grant the cght-honr day to all their employees on the first of January next
 The rumor has not been verified as yet, and would seem to lack crcdence, inasmuch as the said employers have been able to get along in some man ner or other for three years, and 1t has been repeatedly stated that all hands were satisfied II would indeed be an unusual occurrence for an om- ployer to voluntarily give a large body or help an eight-hour day when that same help was satisfied with the nine hour day.
