sat there in the back of the room,
calmly tanning herself, while her hus-

The council proceeded, as though
there had been no interruption. It was
evident that Robert Williams was the
master spirit of the gathering. A born
orator, he played skilfulIy upon the
passions and the emotions of the others.
More than once his hot words stirred
them to murmurs of applause. LAM
quickly found herself swept away with
the others, in the enthusiasm of the
cause he preached.
Finally, when they all rose about the
table. while Williams breathed a last
passionate invocation to heaven for the
cause of king, LAM found herself on
her feet with the rest, and at his side.
''Robert, you are Splendid" she
whispered. "You are going to win. I

MONEY NOT BEING
 CALLED FOR
Spanish. American War Claims Await ing Visit of Soldiers at the State HOuSe-1,9OO are Unpaid.

Spanish. American War Claims Await-
 ing Visit of Soldiers at the State
 HOuse-l,2OO are Unpaid.
 Pine Bluff Ark, May 21.-Few calls are now being made for the Spanish American war claims and the sum se- cured from the government to pay them is not yet half expended. All those who answered the first call for volunteers for this war are entitled to pay for the time of enlistment prior to being mustered into the service. The Arkansas volunteers were re- gently awarded about $20,000, after paying attorneys fees for collecting the amount for this purpose. At first the volunteers came with a rush after their money and a good portion was paid out in several weeks after the clerks in the office of Governor Donaghey began to: pay it out. It has now been three months since pay ment began and only 109 of the claims have been paid. This repre- sents about $10.000. The balance is on depost ina local bank, drawing iIa- terest which is paying the cost Of the distribution. The amount distributed would be less than $l0,000 but for the fact that the officers who had larger sums due them have all drawn their pay. There are about 1.2O0 soldiers who have not yet made any claim for their services. Some of the checks sent out so far have gone to far- away states, and it is probable some of the volunteers nor their heirs will never be heard from.

MEcKLENBURG HOTEL
 DESTROYED BY FIRE

DanviIle. Va. April 1e.-The beau full Mecklenburg Hotel at Chase kty. seventy miles east of this city. on the Keysville and Durham branch of the Southern Railway. was totally de- stroyed by fire this afternoon.
 The hotel was an expensive frame structure built ten years ago by the Mecklenburg Springs corporation at a cost, including furnishings, of t20O,- 900. At the time of the fire 1t was owned by the estate of M. L. T. Davis of Norfolk, and was leased and man. aged by W. T. Hughes. who had con- ducted 1t for several years. The own CTS carried only SR6,000 insurance on the hotel and equipment. only about thirty guests were registered at the hostelry at the time of the fire. The structure. situated on an eminence just outside of town. had geo guest chambers, all well furnished.
 The flames were discovered by guests on the lawn who saw smoke issuing from the slate roof and the alarm was given immediately. but the fire fighting facilities were wholly Inadequate to cope with the fierce raging fire. All of the guests escaped and the most of them saved all of their personal belong ings before the fire reached the lower floors of the structure. but much of the furniture in the upper rooms was thrown from windows and destroyed or battered The employees and guests of the hotel supplemented by the fire department of the town of Chase City. strove in vain to stay the progress of the fire, but the building burned like finder.
 The MeeklenburE had been a health and pleasure resort for decade and many from all over the country be- sought it because of the medicinal quality of the mineral waters.
