This he addressed to an obscure town
on the Georgia coast. A boy anne to the
door. "Take this telegram and send it
at once. I am going out; if there are
letters, take them to my room" He toss
ed the boy a coin and went out; he went
to the largest dry-goods emporium in the
city, and invested in a liberal supply Of
ladies' clothing, buying with taste and
Judgment. His handsome face and heavy
currency procured for him swift service;
in an hour he had a woman respectable
wardrobe, bought, paid for, and ordered
to the obscure town; that completed, he
went back to the hotel, counted his money
again, went and played billiards for an
hour, and then back to his room.

thing in this day and age, but-a letter.! -
He seized it, tore it open, tearing the
sheet half across in his eagerness. 1t
was dictated by Delilah to the young ne
gro woman who cared for her, who wrote
a beautiful hand, as many educated ne
groes do.

A hot and fearful oath burst from his
pale lips; his broad white brow grew
scanned with fury; his very moustache
curled with & he hurled the letter
from him, and then, taking it up, he
read it again.
"She has confessed To whoma Who

He rang the bell furiously; in a mo-

service that a lavish use of money pro-
cures.

incredibly short time. He turned it over

Lighting Central Park.
From the Scientific American.

From the Scientific American.
Central Park, New York, is to be il
Illuminated with lat electric lamps In
place of the 400 gasoline lamps now In
use. Three reasons have been given for
this change In the first place the park
is insufficiently illuminated at present:
secondly. the use of gasoline has re-
suited in the destruction of grass
around each lamp-post. due to dripping
or leakage; and, finally, the lamplight-
ers have worn paths across the turf
from one lamp to another. The use of
electricity will not require unsightly
overhead wires. as the circuits will be
contained in armored cables placed
UNDERGROUND.
