er's heart seemed buried out in the
lonely grave on the hillside with her
husband, and. though she gave Henry
unbounded loye, she cared for little

Then she talked of Henry and found in
Mary ready listener So the two be-
came fast friends with one hope-the
safe return of Henry.
The weeks went by. and together
they read the papers telling of the war.
Henry, too, wrote sometimes to his
mother, but more often to Mary. His
letters told of the weary waiting and
the seemingly useless marching and
countermarching, yet he was always
the same brave loving Henry. Soon
the war would be over and Mary
would meet him, and they would sit by
the rosebuslies again. s-~.----~-
In her dreams she saw him, her SOL
dier, her hoy in blue,' amid the roar
and smoke of battle 'gThey win the
crest; he takes the flag; he is a hero"
The dream changed, and she saw him
nlight from the train at the village
station. The neighbors had read of his
brave deeds in the papers and had
come to cheer him. Once more the vi
sion changed, and hand in hand they
sat by the rosebushes. He placed a
rose in her hair and, gently kissing her
cheek, whispered:
MARY, we won't part any more
And, looking to his well beloved
face to read the love his voice ex-
pressed, it seemed the face of Henry,
but old, so old, and his hair so gray.
One day there came news of Lees
swift advance northward in July,
1868. There would be battle. Mary
wrote a long letter full of love and
cheer to Henry. But no answer came.
In the papers We're rumors of great
battle being fought. 1t was at Get

 Hot Springs. Va, July 9.-Frank H. Hitchcock of Massachusetts is the chairman of the Republican national committee and manager of the national campaign. George R. sheldon of New York is the treasurer of the national committee, and Arthur I. vorys of Ohio is the member of the national committee in charge of the Ohio Re- publican headquarters. which are to be in Cincinnati. This is the result of the meeting of the executive committee of the Republican national committee here with Mir. Taft.
 The designation of MT. vorys to be in charge of the national campaign in Ohio is regarded as a solution of the embarrassment arising from the selec- ton of Mir Hitchcock in preference to Mir. YOrys By this arrangement the campaign in Ohio will be in a sense separate from tho balance of the coun- try. Vorys will be accountable only to Mir Taft.

EFFECT OF AUTosUGGEsTIoN.
Doubtless Causes Most of the Crimes
 Against Reason.

Every day the press reports crimes committed for which 1t is impossible to assign any reasonable motive. Why should man ruin the gown of woman he never saw before by squirting ink upon 1t? Why should a man shoot girl whom he pro- fesses to love. but who will not marry him? Why should q man en- ter church and deliberately murder a priest who is a perfect stranger?
 It is not enough to say that those who do such things are lesererates and unbalanced. All crll.inais are degenerates. but they are not irre- spCnsible. If they did nor know that they had committed h crime they would not seek tJ. escapn after com hitting it.

BIG BLAZE IN
 CONEY ISLAND. Four Alarm Fire at the
 Popular Resort HOTEL IS BURNED OUT.

Excitement Among Residents Who
 Feared Destruction of New Works Immense Amusement Place -- Fire
 Chief Makes Fast Trip From Brook
 lyn In Automobile to Fight Flames.
 Hotels and Train Depot Damaged. Loss Estimated at Between $1oo,ooo
 and s15o,ooo.
 New York, July 9.-A fire which broke out this morning in Pabsts Loop hotel at Coney Island caused great ex- citement in the seaside resort, and fears for the safety of "the island" Were felt. Four alarms were turned in.
 There were 200 employees and guests in Pabst's Loop hotel, and they made quick flight The flames leaped to Nanderveer's hotel, adjoining, in which there were loo guests, who fled to the street. The Brooklyn Rapid Transit station caught fire next, and a high wind carried the flames toward City park.
 Later the wind shifted, and the fire assumed dangerous proportions. The Culver line depot of the Brooklyn Rap i'd Transit blazed up, shutting off traf- fic.
 Fire Chief Laly made a flying trip to Coney Island in his automobile, cov- ering the distance from Brooklyn in twelve minutes. Immediately upon ar irving at the scene of the fire he turn ed in the fourth alarm.
 The wind died down to some extent. and the firemen were able to extin- guish the blaze in the Culver depot and later in Vanderveer's hotel. This latter structure was damaged to the extent of $30,000. The fire was put under control and confined to Pabst's Loop hotel, which building will be a total loss. Chief Lally estimates the damage at between $100,O00 and S15O,- GOO.
 Pabst's Loop hotel is owned by Frank H. Clayton and consists of a three story building and dance hall covering the better part of a block. Mir. Clayton says that sixty guests registered at the hotel. and he does not know whether all escaped or not. It is not believed that any lives were lost.
