THE APPLE.
GIRLS FRIEND

Mary was not an unattractive Wash
ington girl, and the perpetually sad
expression of her face caused all who
saw her to give her more than pass
ing notice, and to this fact are due
the details of this little romantic
story.
One bleak Wintry day gentleman
happened to look out on the street
from his Office window and saw
man examining a basket Of apples
held by little girl, but instead of pur
chasing the man passed on. To com.
pensate the child for her disappoint.
ment he called to her, bought some
apples and told her to come every day
and he would buy from her.
In this way he became acquainted
with her history. She was an orphan
and was selling apples to support her
SELF Among her customers was Gen.
Grant, who lived on 18th street, as
she told her new-found friend, who
was the late Mr.. D. r. Swingle. In
charge of the internal revenue blank
room, Treasury Department. Swingle
bought apples from Mary every day,
became interested in her, supplied
her with pens, ink and paper, set
copies for her and taught her to
write.
In their early acquaintance she had
told Mr.. Swingle, in connection with
the fact that Gen. Grant bought ap-
pies from her. that he once said to
her: Mary, II I ever become Presi-
dent shall give you an appointment"
Some years later, when Mary was
about fifteen and Gen. Gram had be-
come President, in her daily visits to
Mr.. Swingle's office, he said to her:
MARY, you are getting too large
now to be selling apples on the
street"
"Yes," she replied, "but what shall
I do?"
go and see the President, and re-
mind him of his promise. Here, I will
write you card and you take 1t right
up to him."
The card was written, and little sad
faced Mary wended her way trembling
to the White House, where she de-
livered the card to a messenger, who
delivered it to the President. The
card read:

krakatoa ERUPTION.

Perhaps the most remarkable vol

took place in August, 1883, at the Isl

da. Streams of volcanic dust were
thrown seventeen miles high, and
more than cubic mile Of material
was expelled from the volcanic crater
The air waves started by the eruption
travelled around the earth sever
times. The noise was heard at Macas
sa, 500 miles away; at Borneo, Liz
miles distant; in West Australia, l.,
700 miles away, and even at Rodagues
distant more than 1900 miles. The
dust and powdered pumice thrown out
of the crater made the entire circuit
of the earth before settling down, and
was the cause of the. strange sunsets
that were observed for many months

According to a statement in the Lib.

HoNDURAN REBELS WIN.
With Ceiba in His Hands Bonilla Plans
Capture of Puerto Cortez.

Ceiba, Honduras, Jan. 29.-With the
capture of Ceiba the revolutlonlsts
have become exceedingly active and in
tend to make an early attack on Puerto
Cortez. They do not expect much re-
sistance at that point. Bonilla ar
rived in Ceiba from Truxillo by boat
Thursday and the preparations are un-
der his supervision.
The schooner Romeria, with 100 rev.
dictionary troops, sailed at an early
hour this morning. Her probable des-
tination is Utilla island, the southwest
ernmost of the Bay islands, which are
now held by the revolutionists.
Two schooners and three sloops are
available as transports and it is in
tended to mobilize a large force and
transport as many men as possible
within striking distance of Puerto
Cortez.
Since the fall of Ceiba General Bo-
nilla has five machine guns, two gat-
ling guns and large quantity of am
munition at his disposal, in addition to
his original supply, which was album
dant. The United States gunboat
Marietta is now on her way to Puerto
Cortez and is expected to arrive there
Sunday morning. The British cruiser
Brilliant, it is understood, will reach
Puerto Cortez today sometime.
The American warship will permit no
fighting in the town and it is believed
similar instructions have been fur
nished the commander of the British
cruiser.
