Address delivered by Rev. A. P.

Moors at the Washington Memorial ser-vice held in the M. E church Feb. 22. Ib94, under the auspices of the Grand

Army of the Republic: "There are great focal points in the

history of this world and towards these

all the lines of past human advancement and progress converge; and f rom them

the mighty controll ing influences of the fu ture have radiated and gone for th.

Such times are extraordinary in the annals of the w-irld; and the chief ac -

tofc in those t imes are the extraordinary men of the world.

One of these focal points and one of the most luminous and rndiant was the birth of this Republic. It was tha i day m old Independence Hall when these

United Stales of America were declared to be free, independent and sovereign nation. That day when the immorta l

"Declaration of Independence" was

signed and published to the world, by tha t body of patriots styled tho "Con tinental Congress." Among the leading

principles of tha t wonderful document , commonplace now—but so new and

efartl ing at t ha t time—are the follow-

ing: " T h a t all men are created equal; ihat all have a natural r ight 10 liberty

and t , , e pursu i t of happiness; t ha t hu-man governmeiils are instituted for the sole purpose of securing the welfare of

the people, and t ha t t he people have the natura l r ight to alter their govern-

ment whenever it becomes destructive to liberty;" tha t declaration was not the signal of revolution and conflict for they

were begun: Lexington, Ticonderoga, and Bunker Hill had already been

fought . Tho blood of Warren and hun-dreds of other patriots had already

consecrated the soil of this new world

to l iberty. While this "Dec la ra t ion ' was not the beginning of s t r i fe it was the solemn ra t i f lacnon of the steps al-

ready laken and the expression of Iheir purpose to persist in their efforts for lib-

erty unt i l tha t glorious end should be achieved and to that end they "mutua l ly

pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor ." We have not t ime

to trace the converging lines of human

influence to tha t f o w l point, nor to mark tho mignty forces which have ra-

diated the re f rom and which have touch-ed and modified the inst i tut ions and life

of every christ ian nation on the globe.

For f rom tha t day this nation has been

the hope and inspiration of the world for nobler and better things, and it has been regarded as the example and em-

bodiment of civil liberty. The one person who. under God, made

the independence of this nation a possi-

bility was George Wash ing ton : " H e who was first in war, first in peace and

first in the hearts of his coun t rymen ." There were others who occupied a large

pla^e in the s t i r r ing events of t ha t t ime

and who deserve most honorable m e n -tion by the h is tonan, but Washington

was first and foremost, his form towers

head and sh-ulders alcove all his bre th-ren.

Our meet ing today is in memory of this great and good man. We are

convened here in deference to the re-quest of the .Commander in-Chief of the

Grand Army of the Republic, to "con-sider his life and character and that we

may better unders tand the loyalty and devotion of the " F a t h e r of his Country ,

in the war for the independence of the United States and to show tha t the men

who saved the nation are not unmind-ful of the sacrifices of those who gave it bir th."

The history of Washington is, or ought to be, familiar to every Amnri-can. H e was born in Westmoreland Co.,

Virginia, Feb. 22,1782. Deprived of the

advan tage of school or college education he made the most of private instruction and s tudy. H e began l ife for himself

OB a surveyor, when but 16 years of age. When thus but a mere boy m pursuit of

bis vocation he camped out for months a t a t ime in the forest, constant!}' in

peril f rom hostile savages, a t t ha t early age manifes t ing his courage and perse-verence. A t nineteen he received a

Major's commission m the a rmy and at twenty- two was made a Colonel in com-

mand of a regiment . H e icrved with great distinction and valor dur ing t h e

French and Ind ian war and at its close had risen to national prominence by

reason of his bravery and prudence. When the war for Independence c a m e

on he was a member of thu Continental Congress and was among the foremost patriots of his t ime. He was the peer

of any in the bold and uncompromising stand which he took in opposition to the

encroachments and despotism of the British Crown. He stood side by side

with Patr ick Henry , Ben jamin Frank-

lin.the Adamea and many others of t ha t t ry ing period, whose names stand so

high on the scroll 01 eternal fame. So singular and transcerident were his

recognized abilities as a soldier tha t

when the t ime came for the selection he was unanimously chosen and appointed

commander in chief of the American Army. On receiving his commission

he repaired at once to Boston where he found a force of 14500 volunteers, u n -

disciplined and says history, "insubor-dinate" and the supplies of war a lmost

wholly want ing, with this unpromising

outlook he began the contest for Amer i -

can independence. He was. confronted by a mighty foe,the British army wassu-perior in number to his own, while m dis-cipline and in every supply for mili tary

service they were want ing in nothing. But against all those odds he achieved glorious success, for the hearts of t h e

people were with him, their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor were all upon their country 's holy altar, their prayers were continually appealing to

heaven for help, and above all the good providence of God presided over, pro-tected and guided in the destiny of their m a n and of his cause.

As surely as God led the Hebrews out of Egypt into tho promised land by the hand of his servant, Moses, so surely did he lead our fa thers through the

sanguinary seven years s truggle of the

revolution by the hand of his servant , George Washington. On Juno 15, 1775

Washington took command of the a r m y

of the Revolution and on Oct. 19, 1781 Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown, which virtually ended the war. Not

however until 178:i w is ppace declored and on the 23rd of December of the

same j qar Washington mr rendered his commisMon as com m i n d e r in chief of the army, and retired to his homo at

Mount Vernon which he had visited but once during the entire war.

In the year 1788 he was unanimously chosen the first president of the United Stales and was re elected in 1702 with-

out a dissenting vote, a l t e r serving his country in this olli «.• for eight years he

peremptorily declined another election

and went back to Mt. Vernon where he at tended to his business as <1 private citi-

zen until his death winch occurred Dec 14. 1799 »

Havmg thus briefly traced the career of this remarkable man, let us no v in conclusion consider him for a few mo-

ments, in ' h e different reldtions of the soldier, tne citizen and the ch r i s t im .

As n soldier he was courageous and

cool, prompt and deliberate, in t repid and cautious, these apparent contradic-tions o fcharac te he combined in a won-derful m inner in his naturrf. As a re-

sult . Irt; was perfectly poised and bal-

anced, under every circumstance and condition. Dur ing his intire mi l i tary

life,he was never taken by surprise,flas-trated or int imidated. W h i l e ^ h e was n e t always victorious he never met with

a signal defeat . In several instances his dauntless courage and in t repidi ty changed the fortunes of tho day. A t

Monmouth which ho termed his " g l o r -ious and happy d a y " the patriot army

was in full retreat, before the enemy by o rderofGen . Lee,who wat: in command .

He met the flying columns,and seizinj: a stand of colors, rallied and reformed a line of battle in the very face of the

confident foe, and plucked a most mom-

entous victory f rom the very j a w s of de-feat. But Washington was not a sol-

dier of for tune, his was not a choice of a rms as a profession or t f rom the love ol

fame and earthly glory. An imperat ive sense of duty and patriotism impelled him to draw the sword. But when the great object for which he entered the

arena of s t r i fe was accomplished he re-turned his swoM to its scabbard and be-

came the ideal citizen of the Republic which his genius had founded,such was

Washington the soldier, of whom the great Napoleon said, "The measure* of

his fame is ful l . Posterity will talk of him with reverence as the founder of

an empire when ray name shall be lost in the vortex of revolutions."

Washington was the model citizen. He had no personal ambitions to grati-fy , no partisan schemes to fo rward .

Love of count ry was the one and sole motive of his conduct, both in public

and private He accepted the office of president with great reluctance. H e

tells us in his "Farewel l Address to His

Fellow Citizens ' that "The acceptance of and continuance in the office to which your suffrages have twice called me,

have been a uniform sacrifice of inclina-tion to tho opinion of duty and to a

deference fo r wha t appeared to be your desire." The feeling was well n igh uni-versal that he alone, " W h o was first in

the hearts of his count rymen" could suc-

cessfully pilot the new ship of s ta te over

the untried and unsurveyed political sea, into the haven of security and stabil i ty. In obedience to this sentiment he took the oath of office and entered upon its a r -

duous duties. Oi his grand success h is -tory furnishes the most ample proof.

His patriotism and singular generosi ty

are seen in the fact tha t he s teadfast ly

refused to receive any compensation fo r

his services dur ing the whole e i g h t

years he was commander-in-chief of the army, and also for the eight years in

which he served the country as its presi-

dent. Only for his personal exjienBes would he receive a dollar f rom the pub-

lic treasury. Wha t a s t range contras t

I between this and the conduct of some in high places today and what u dark

. shadow it casts upon some recent hap-| penlngs within our own state. To the

j influence of Washington more than t ha t

1 of any other man is to be a t t r ibnted the I t ransformation of the thirteen colonies

from a loose confederacy of pe t ty p^o-

vinces into a compact national existence 1 and the origin and adoption of the con-stitution of the United States. He de -

| voted every energy of mjnd and hear t

; and his mighty influence among all classes of people to that consummation

; for he foresaw that alone would perpetu-ate t h e liberties of his beloved count ry .

Washington wad a christian. The ; principles of t rue religion and fai th in

its verity were deeply imliedded in his ; being, and an all occasions he gave pub-

| lie expression to that fai th. In his fare-

well address to the a r m y a t the close of the Revolution he ascribes their success to Providence. He says, "The s ingular interpositions of Providence in our feeble

condition were such as could scarcely escape the at tention of the mont unob-serving." In the resignation of hih com-

mission to Congress he uses this most

Impressive language. " I consider it as an Indispensable duty 10 closv- this last net

' of my oflicial life by commending the interests of our dearest country to the

protection of Almighty God, and those who have the superintendance of them 10 his holy keeping."

That he was a man of prayer we have ihe test imony of his own words, wri t ten

to the governors of the several s ta les .

Among many other things he writes, "1 now make it my earnest prayer tha t God would have you and the state oyer

which you preside in his holy protection

* * * and tha t he would most graciously dispose us all to do j u s -tice, to love mercy and to demean our -

selves with that charity, humili ty and pacific temper of mind, which were ihe

pecuiiHr characteristics of the Divine author of ou r religion, wi thout an imi-

' at ion of whose example in these th ings we ran never hop- to he a happy na t ion ." Finally as showing his est imate ot the

value and importance of religion to the iintiou, 1 quote ouce more t rom his "Farewel l Address to His Fellow Cit i -zens,' d a t . d Sept. 17th, 1790, hut a lit lie

over three years before his death, "Of all the dispositions and habiis wh.ch

lead to political prosperity, r e g i o n and moralit} are indis|»eiisablesuiip<-ris. In vain would that man claim the t i i o m e

of patriotism who should laboc to snb-veit tl.e-e great pillars'of human happi-

ness, ih- firmest props of the dut ies cf

men aod citiZc-ns. The mere politic.an equally with the pious man, ought to respect and to cherish them. A volume

could not trace all their connections with p r i \ a i e aiid public telicity."

When Washington died ihe n a t u n mourned a - a great family bereaved of

i ' s f a ther and head. The sorrow of t ha t event has but one parallel in our history.

That was when the immor ta l , Lincoln waa assassinated in 1805. The one is t he

complement of the other. No one thinks of one of these names w i t h o u t

the other. Together they stand the chief and paramount figures in the hia-

t ry of this western cont inent , and in the history of the world none occupy a higher place, their names are monu-

ment d of iruest virtue and loftiest pa triotism, of everything noble and gleri

ous in human character and life. Monu ments of bronze or grani te can never take the place of their vwrnory in the

hearts ot the people of this Republic.

May t ha t memory be imperishable and may its influence be mighty in mould-ing our f u t u r e history and destiny.

SPfo Sixe, N. Y., Feb. 27.—Matthew Johnson (colored) was electrocuted in the prison yesterday for the murdijr oi Emil Kuckelhoru, December 9, 1893.

Every one'gives it the highest praise. H. Gradel . Druggist, W a l n u t and Alli-son Sts.. Cincinnati . O., says this of his t rade : " I sell my share of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup and my customers tha t have used this preparation speak of it in the highest terms,"

Mr.George F. Kimball , the well known jobber of window and plate glass at Chicago, has submitted for publication tho following discouraging views re-garding the t rade:

" I t is difficult to speak of the condi-tions in the glass t rade without seeming to lie a prophet of hard times. The tariff agitation, pointing to a revision tha t ap-parent ly means disaster to the manufac-tur ing and jobbim,' branches of the glass trade, has affected sales until it hurts ev-ery one engaged in the business f rom the laborer n p and down. Speaking in general terms. I should say the volume of business in glass has been decreased

ful ly 20 per cent as compared with last year, and if it had not be<?n for tho

World 's fair and the business which fol-lowed as a result—or its presence—Chi-cago's glass t rade would have been a t least 33 per cent less than it was a year ago.

"Studying tho situation as carefully as may be, there s mis to be no important factor in the t rade disturbance outside of the tariff revision proposed by tin; ad-ministration. The glass t rade .has suf-

j fered ever since Mr. Cleveland came into I power from the knowledge that the tariff i schedule would be lowered and other-i wise disturb'.nl. Tho result has been a j decrease in purchases by jobbers, a con-I sequent reduction of manufacture , fol-

lowed by the discharge of large numbers of workingmeu and ihe shu t t ing down of many large plants. Today only two plate glass factories are running, and less

, fiian per cent of tho window glass factories are at work.

" T h e jobber who has any stock at all is glad todis j ioseof it at cost, and the man who lias no stock is wait ing to see what congivss is going to do before he

1 purchases.

I "Another fac tor in the business is tho j absence of the men who intend to build. ! Ordinarily permits are taken out in the

fa l l for buildings so the foundation may | be laid and everything put in condition ; for completion early in the spring. So | the fall permits indicate in a measure | wha t is to be done in the way of build-j ing dur ing the ensuing year. The per-j mils issued this fall show that very little , construction is contemplated dur ing the

winter and coming spring. Taking ail the indications, I cannot see where t0e glass manufac turers and jobbers are to

; get any business in the immediate fn-j ture , and I do not look for anything like

a resumption of favorable conditions be-1 fore late in the summer of 1894 or early I in the fall .

"This is bound to affect labor in the i glass manufac tu r ing and kindred trades. I If the duty on glass is reduced 50 per • cent, i t must , in my- opinion, come off

the laborers ' wages The material in a pane of glass does not amount to any-

i th ing as compared with the cost of la-I bor in that pane—for instance, a pane of | glass selling for |100 in Chicago has raw 1 material in i t worth perhaps $8. Any

reduction in the selling price must come from the cost of labor. Take our polish-ers in this country, and they are paid

! |2.50. In Belgium women are employed to do the same kind of work and are paid 20 cents a day for i t . If the duty on Belgium glass is taken off. the American polisher can expect to see i.v wages cut

j down jus t to the extent of the reduction : in the tar iff . It is practically detenuined

already by the large manufac turers that they will have to cut wages 50 per cent if t he tariff proposed by the Wilson bill is put into effect.

; " I am a Democrat myself, and most of my men voted for the Democratic candi-date a t the last election, but in the face of the situation not one of them would do i t again if t he opportunity offered."

C o n n l s t c i i c i e s of t h e W l U o n B i l l .

Potatoes, a nor thern and western f a rm product mostly, a tariff is proposed a t 10 cents per bushel, or 20.78 per cent ad

i valorem. But on Peanuts , exclusively a southern prod-

1 uct, the protection is to lie 1 cent per pound, or 72.80 per cent ad valorem.

Hoop iron, when used for cotton ties, i to cover bales of southern cotton, is to

be f ree of duty , but H90P iron, when used to cover bales

of hay, the 'product of tlie northern, east-e m and western farmer, is to be taxed 80 per cent ad valorem.

Iron ore is placed upon the free list, 1 but

Kaolin, a product of South Carolina, , is protected by a duty of $2 per ton, or ; 26.38 per cent ad valorem.

Apples, eggs and cabbages, which are products of the energy of thfe northern, eastern and western farmers, are put upon tlie free list so a# to suffer f rom competition w:t h the almost pauper la-bor of Canada, but

Rice, which is exclusively a southern product, has been the object of very ten-der care and solicitude. Mr. Wilson and his confreres Had forgotten, when rice was under consideration, the proposition which they laid down of ad valorem du-ties being the only pcoper ones, and pro-

, tected their darl ing southern product, rice, by making speciuc duties covering every possible form in which the article could be imported. The duty on cleaned rice reduced t o an ad valorem basis is 88.89 per cent, bu t these gentlemen have Informed the northern manufac turers of woolen and worsted goods t ha t the coun-try would not submit to higher ad va-lorem duties than -10 per cent.

Avoid the sign " imported:" avoid ; things "imported:" avoid the tailor who | carries nothing but " imported" suitings; | avoid the shops tha t aimounce nothing

but the " imported" silks, the " import-ed" glassware, the " importud" oiiina, the " impor ted" bric-a-brac. i!ie - ' imi^r ted"

! textiles; avoid the cigar dealer who 1 would sell you only " imported" cigars. 1 which may carry the filth of foreign

countries; avoid the grocer who would sell yon " imported" dried f ru i t s , which may carry the germs of disease, and

I avoid the newspaper which teaches the " imported" idea and advocates free trade.

At the top of the r iub t hand column

of the first page you will find u coupon which reads "Good for two cents" and some of our subscribers wll find a bine pencil mark on tha t coupon. If you will rend carefully you will t-ee that It

is " n o t good il cance lhd with blue." The reason for this is t ha t we have made arning'-ments so tha t all subscribers who

are paid in advance will receive back all the money they |>ay, besides gett ing the

; JOI RNAL, which means tha t the JOURNAL costs those who pay in advance nothing, for if they cut their coupons out and use

them at tho place* printed on their face, they gel their money back with which they can re-subscri'ie for the JOURNAL thus making one suttscnpiion virtually perpetual.

Bur ".he "b lue m a i k " you will find tha t

only on the papers of those who are in arrears for their subscription, for while we are feeling very liberal and magnan-

imous we are not able to make arrange-1 ments whereby we can give money to

those w ho are m our debt, a l though, should we noe ive all thnt is our due

I f rom subscribers, we could make and would gladly make ar rangements to care

1 for the 1400 two cent coupons each week.

1 The object of these coupons is to make the local paper so cheap that all can a f -

I ford to lake it. and another object is to {make a subscription to the JOURNAL of

ictnal money value as well as intellec-tual value Take ihe JOURNAL and there-by get all the news, pay for it and get the bent fit of the "Cash Coupon."

% Monday evening at about 9:45 fire was

discovered in the residence of D. G, Look, on Hudson St. Mrs Look discov-

ered the fire and gave the a larm. She and Mrs J o h n Look were at home, alone

a t the t ime and Mrs Look Immediately took the baby, Helen, who is sick, to Mrs E, D, Parker 's ,

The firemen responded prompt ly bu t lost considerable t ime finding the hy-

drant , runn ing two blocks beyond it, but they soon had two good streams playing on the fire and they worked fai thiul ly

and well, but the fire had gained such headway t ha t it was with difficulty got

under control.

The fire evidently started .in the wing or ki tchen and spread rapidly to the up-

r ight . The whole upper portion of the house is destroyed and as far as rebuild-

ing is concerned might as well ^have burned entirely down. The house was

insured for $1200 and contents for $200 m the Ken t , Allegan and Ot tawa.

Dur ing the fire some very amusing in-

cidents occurred. On several occasions the crowds were treated to a shower

f rom the streams, and tlie usual helper (he who carefully carries out the fiat

irons and throws the mir ror out of the second story window) was there, but

the goods were most of them saved and stored in the barn.

They have much sympathy in their

misfor tune.

Call on Alger & Perry for Insurance.

Times must indeed bo hard when oven the pawnbrokers complain of bad busi-ness, While all other branches of t rade have managed to pull through tho holi-days with at least a small but profitable balance ai tho las t of tho year, tho pawn-brokers, probably for the first t ime in their recollection, find themselves on the losing side of the ledger,

A reporter made a tour of New York city, visiting 100 pawnshops scattered about tho east and west sides and Har-lem, Out of all the shops visited only two of the owners admitted that busi-ness was improving, and tha t they were doing as well as last year. These two cases may be accounted for by reason of their long standing and popularity with the people t ha t patronize such establish-ments, One is situated on upper Sixth avenue, in the Tenderloin, and the other In Chatham square, for generations the Mecca for those in want of ready cash. Neither of tho two places advances money except on jewelry. They do not, therefore, come in contact with the poor-est class of people, who are compelled to part with even their clothes when ne-cessity compels them to raise money to buy food.

The pawnbrokers, when asked f o r an explanation of the falling off in their business, wi th one accord said, "The poorer classes, with whom we deal, pawned all they had dur ing tho money panic last summer and now have nothing left to pawn and no money to redeem their pledges."

One man in Oliver street said; " I have been in the pawnbroking business for 45 years, and I have never seen busi-ness so dull. Dur ing the summer months we took in all we could handle, but money was so t ight then that we ad-vanced only one-half the loan usually given. Even this did not stop the busi-ness. Natura l ly we expected a big boom this fall, and tha t the goods would be re-deemed, bu t we were mistaken. I have never had such a quanti ty of goods on my shelves. If tho people could only pay the interest , I would not complain, bu t most of them are industrious people out of work, and the chances of get t ing my money back are very s l im." '

A t a pawnshop on the Bowery the manager said: " I f bnsinees in our line continues the same for another month , I shall be compelled to go to work. The outside public look upon the pawn-brokers as having money to burn . They think we a re on 'velvet' all our lives, but if they could look at our books for the past year they would not th ink our game was such a good thing. I t may look very odd for me to make this state-ment , bu t i t is a fac t nevertheless that when t imes are good with the people they are good with us. I can explain t ha t this way: When, for instance, the head of the family is working steadily, the wife or daughter needs some li t t le things in the middle of the week. They have not the wherewith and won ' t have i t until Sa turday night . They can ' t wait unt i l then, b u t rush off to the pawnshop wi th some tr inket , and on Saturday night come in and redeem it. Now things are different. Even if they have the t r inket (which, by the way, is very doubt fu l ) they do not dare to pawn it, for tho fa-ther being out of work they are not so sure of get t ing i t ont again. The result is that , instead of our turning our money-over and over, we simply have to ait dewn and grin and bear i t ."

"Pawnbrokers are s tarving," said a Grand street proprietor. "The people have all our money and we their goods. W e would ra ther reverse the order of affairs, bn t I can see no prospect of such a change. Dur ing the past year we had more goods l e f t with us a f te r the t ickets expire than ever before. W i t h the hard times and competition we got no prices a t all when we auctioned on r unre-deemed pledges." To prove this asser-tion the pawnbroker brought out his books, which showed that a t the last auction sale of unredeemed goods in De-cember the pawnbroker lost $200.

" W e would prefer to have the people redeem their pledges," ho added, " for then we get the interest, and that"s what w e are in the business for ,"

A tour of the pawnshops along Second avenue found the proprietors al1 bemoan-ing their fa te and complaining of the hard times. Lit t le or no business was being t ransacted at these shops, poor peo-ple having long since parted with their clothing, tho principal art icle in t rade on the east side.

U p in Harlem the same condition of affairs prevails. One pawnbroker on One Hundred and Twenty-f if th street said that he had no more money to loan on clothing, adding t ha t it did not pay for ' the room i t occupied, and tha t the chance of i ts ever being redeemed was very remote. Along Eighth, Ninth and Tenth avenues the pawnbrokers said businesa was going to the dogs, A pawn broker on Eighth avenue, near Twentietl street, who does a fiouriahing business, said: "There ' sno chance of improvement In our business until the i)eople get work. At present i t looks as if we were in busi-ness for onr health,"

In lower Sixth avenue and Hudson street, which are populated by the poorer class, the wail of the pawnbroker ia loud and sad. No reason is given except tha t tho men are out of work and the wives have nothing lef t to pawn except scraps of clothing, and tha t is refused at the majori ty of pawnshops.—New York Com-mercial Advertiser.

WASHINGTON, Feb, 24.—The mem-bers of the house under a r res t were finally discharged from custody yester-day by dispensing with f u r t h e r pro-ceedings under the call, Mr. Bland, In ano ther fu t i l e e f for t to secure a vote on the silver seigniorage bill, called the filibusters anarchists , and said: " W e were sent here to do our duty , and a t ime when the cities are th ronged wi th mobs and the people cannot go to bed In peace and comfor t Is not the t ime when mob law should obta in here ." At the evening session to consider pen-sions the lack of a quorum prevented the t ransac t ion of any business.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.—In the house on Sa turday roll call followed roll call, the opponents of the seigniorage bi l l t h r o w i n g aside all pretense of not fili-bus te r ing and boldly in jec t ing mo-t ions to t ake a recess and to ad journ in order to prevent a vote on Mr. Bland's motion.

in accordance wi th his rule, Detective Simpson devoted some time to a study of his follow pussoiiKers, and ho bad not boon thus engaged more than 10 inin-utos when ho made a s tar t l ing discovery.

On t h e other side of the ear . and some three seats in advance, sat an exceeding-ly well dressed gentleman, apparently between 30 and -10 years of ago. He wore a glossy silk hat of t he latest fashion, a dark diagonal suit, spotless linen, a col-lar with the corners turned in tho well known tr iangular shape, a silk cravat with a diamond horseshoe, while tlie edge of a silk handkerchief protruded from the side pocket of his coat. When ho turned in his seat, a fine gold watch chain w a s visible in f ront .

This individual was smoking a choice Havnnti. which most of the t ime h • hoi. d..ia'.liy lic-tv.ota hit. liagors. Ho scv.aod absorbed in his paper , bn t probably no oneb.-siuos tho delrutivo discovered t' , this was only i n tou.M}>oii Ins p a n . Ho sat for an hour without once sltiriin*? the position of the journal , an iinjio^. i-bility if he was reading tho coateuts unless ho lylojitetl t he improbable coin-•f peri..-nig tl. • eamc thing repo.;l .

Certainly he was not doing t,i;;*. Ui. first ontcring t;.'.'c:;r. as ho did . . V. r-hainplon, ho glanced behind him several ( iuvs and then crossed his legs nnd as-r.umcd a t ostnro which showed his pro-

, l.le to tho jvrsons sit t ing behind, ami pr.u tically to those on ihe other side.

' The m a n was undeniably handsome, with bis Roman nose, his glossy mus-tache curl ing gracefully at tho ends, though tho chin may have been a trifie too prominent . Had ho chosen to dis-play bis teeth they would have shown white nnd regular. Altogether he formed a str i ldng personality.

The s tar t l ing discovery that Detective Simpson made was t h a t this individual was one of tho two East Indians who had come all the Way from Calcutta with the res ilve to secure possession of the r a j ah ' s ruby.

The v'j •"(/ '""n set nut to imlk tn the place of amriscmcnt.

Tho complexion of the well dressed man w a s like a mulatto 's , and his hair was as blaCK nnd coarso as an American

; Indian's. A glance a t him showed that I while h e m a y not have been exception-

ally s t rong ho was sis l i the«nd active as a panther .

"Ho is one of tho t w o that were skulk-| ing th rough tho grounds of tho Liver-

more homestead the other n igh t , " nmt-tered Simpson. " I have never met the

| couple b y daylight, b u t tha t fellow's i profile shows him to l>e the one that I climbed the tree and peered through the | window a t tho interior. It was hiscom-• panion w h o at tacked and would have ; given m e my quietus- bu t for those cigars."

Whenever the t ra in drew u p a t the station, Wichman—for i t was he—quiet-ly .shifted his position so as to observe any one t ha t might leave tho car. This was done so natura l ly tha t no one noticed i t except Simpson.

" H e is shadowing Fairchild, bn t does he suspect me?"

The detective could not feel altogether cer tain on this mat te r , but he was almost positive t h a t the sepoy had no though t of him. The dense gloom which reigned dur ing their first and only meeting pre-vented any view of cither's features, though the silhouette thrown against the yellow background of ( the window gave tho Amer ican an immense advantage. But for the exceeding swarthiness of the fellow's complexion, s tamping his nation-ality too plainly to bo mistaken, i t is un-likely t ha t Simpson would have pene-t ra ted h is identity.

" H e is af ter Fairchild. He knows or a t least suspects tha t ho has the gem wi th him, and ho is prepared to take desperate chances t o gain it, for ho has already r u n great r isk. Tho final strug-gle m u s t take place very soon in the city of New York."

Tho detective considered tho question of f r ank ly making known to the young man the situation. Thus warned, and with tho cpmpafiionship of himself to help g u a r d the t reasure, there surely ought to bo no jiersonal risk a t all.

Bu t the officer w a s forced to consider the eventualities. Ho would have to avow his own character and w a s sure to awaken suspicion regarding himself. Fai rchi ld would be put on his guard against liim and more than likely would repel his offer of f r iendly aid.

" I have the advantage over both in knowing the precise situation, wh ' le neither of them suspecta me—that is," he added, " I don't think he does."

Since i t was . i ipportant t ha t this ques-

tion should bo decided before reaching tho metropolis. Simpson had recourse to a simple stratogem. When tho train made i ts last ha l t , ho rose f r o m bis seat, valise and cane in hand, and loft tho car by tho roar door.

As bo did so ho managed to keep Fair-child and the Asiatic in bis field of vision. Neither bestowed a glance upon him.

Tha t settled the question a s the officer wished it settled.

Since there was no poadbility of either of bis men leaving tho t ra in before the arrival at tho Grand Central station. Simpson did not re turn to tho smoker, but seated himself in tho car immedi-ately behind it . where ho had the best position for booing all tha t was to be seen.

It was growing dusk when the heavily loaded ' r a in came to a stop in .the im-mense depot and the passengers left and began moving along tho long platform. Tho detective easily caught sight of Fairchild and w a s not surprised to oli-serve tho East Indian walking directly behind him. Tho former carr ied a small traveling bag, b u t the American's, which w a s considerably larger, had evidently been given in charge of an expressman.

I t is a l o n g d i r tancof rom Forty-second street t o t h e Astor House, b u t Fairchild seemed to feel the need of exercise. Ho disregarded the solicitations of the cab-men. and paying no hoed to tho surface or elevated cars walked toward Broad-way, striking in to a brisk pace and turn-ing southward on reaching tha t groat thoroughfare.

"1 can walk it as well as ho." reflected 1 Simpson, " b u t I would prefer to ride Hello!"

In some way unaccountable to him the East Indian nad vanished. He was visible only a moment l)efore. but had whisked out of sight as if tho ground had opened and swallowed him.

" I don't unders tand the meaning of tha t , bnt i t isn ' t ho t ha t is of so much in-terest to m o asJihis other fellow. He has the ra jah ' s r n b f , and it is tha t which is the magnet t h a i jus t now is drawing mo in to this confounded log exercise."

Quite certain, however, that the sn.poy would t u rn upaga in . probably when least

expected, tlie detective continued a t t h e heels of Fairchild. keeping so well to the rear, however, t ha t ho waa not likely to notice him if be happened t o look behind him.

Bnt the young man conducted himself j like one accustomed t o the city. Ho oc- j casionally bestowed a glance at the show windows, stopped to learn tho cause of a crowd tha t had collected a t Union square and then strode s t ra ight down Broadway until he reached the well known Astor , House, which has been the temporary | home of so many thousands of distin- ' gnished and of unknown people since its erection many years ago. I

Fairchild made his way up stairs to the office, where bo registered. 'So many other guests were in the room tha t Simpson did not hesitate to step inside for the same purpose.

He stood a t the elbow of the young man as he transcribed his name in a largo, round hand, and the detective wrote his directly beneath.

•I have a package which I would like to leave in the safe until tomorrow." said tho former to the clerk.

•All r ight ." responded the latter, await-ing the handing of the article to him.

Fairchild reached his r ight band inside liis vest and d r e w out a small object wrapped in brown paper. Ho seemed to wish to add some ex t ra instructions, but probably reflcoted tha t tha t was unneces-sary. since any th ing intrusted to the safe of the hotel waa as secure as if in the vaul ts of t he Bank of England.

•That is the ra jah ' s ruby," was tho thought of Simpson, who qnietly watched the proceeding. " I t is near its end—that is. so far as any interest 1 have in i t ip concerned, 1 wonder wha t has become of my dusky friend from Calcut ta ."

Ho was nowhere in sight, and Fair-child took himself down stairs to the rotunda for his dinner a f te r having given orders t h a t his baggage should bo sent to his room immediately on its ar-rival—a somewhat unnecessary instruc-tion on his part .

It might be thought t h a t now, since tho all impor tan t jewel was lodged in the safe of the Astor House, i t w a s al-together a work of superfluity on the part of tho detective to shadow the gen-t leman who had placed i t there.

Of w h a t f u r t h e r interest was Arthur Fairchild to him? He could not enter the orbit of his anxiety unt i l the gem should once more come into his imme-diute custody. Was i t not safe, there-fore, to dismiss him f r o m fu r t he r thought until tha t contingency should arrive?

Possibly Simpson might have done tliis but for tho well grounded fear, as ho conceived it . tha t tho young man was in personal danger f rom the hnbtlo liast Indian tha t bad followed him from Warhampton. Tha t miscreant was pre-pared to commi t any. crime, and if con-vinced t ha t t he other still had the ruby with him be was likely to assail him in some unsuspected corner of the city.

" W e will dismiss the ra jah ' s ruby from consideration for the present." was the officer's decision, "and 1 will take 1 upon myself to ac t as a bodyguard to the betrothed lover of Miss Evelyn Gilder." j

Still another question perplexed the ! detective. Where was the second East I Indian and what was bo np to?

Simpson had made tho mistake of act- i ing as though there was but ono upon a former memorable occasion, and he did not intend to rtqieal that well nigh fatal

blunder. ••Those two follows a re plotting mis-

chief somewhere in this great city, and Ar thur Fairchild will bo for tuna te if he sees tho morrow's sun without nn en-counter with them."

Mewi while the young man , having fin-shod Ins meal, had wi thdrawn from the

lunch counter and was looking over the morning paper. A glance a t the page aa 110 passed convinced Simpson that he was t ry ing to f ix-apon some desirable place of amusement to visit tha t evening.

"Miss Gilder needn't distress herself about him," was Simpson's conclusion.

l i e won t forget her amid the excile-montsand temptations of the great city."

It was yet comparatively early in tlio evening, and instead of taking a cab or the cars the young man set out to walk to the place of amusement which he had decided to visit,

Simpson fel t like protesting. •How 'ong is he going t o keep this

thing up. | m not as fond of walk ingas ho, nnd ho ought to have some consider ation for me."

NeyerlhoJoss there waa no help for it. and the office, bravely Hot himself to the

( / O U ' ( J 1 , 0 '""vo known whither the other was wending his footsteps he would have ridden to the place and there awaito. him, but t he only means of learning was by s t icking to him. and ho did that unflwchingly until Fairchild bought a ticket at t he Academy of Music and ,Missed in to enjoy the pre-sentat ion of »he "Old Homestead."

As usual, tnere was a large audience, •but the officer succeeded in securiiiL'a •eat a short way behind the young man. w ho, if he noticed the persistency with which the o tner turned up, gave no evi-dence of such knowledge.

Settl ing himself down to witness the quain t and homelike presentation. Do-teclive Simpson did not forget the two dusky fellows with whom he had had such a stirrUig experience some nights before. With seeming carelessness he glanced a n und the largo building and could not avoid a s tar t when he ob-served the East Indian seated directly abreast of Fairchild. but on tho opposite side of the aislo. •

Ho was on the end seat, fumbl ing the programme with his delicately gloved hands, as though he were a regular at-tendant of such places nnd somewhat bored with the t rea t a b o u t to be offered him. _

'He is a keen one." reflected the offi-cer " f o r though I lost sight of him f o n t good while, he has kept t rack of Fair-child and will not lose him unti l ,he makes one effort a t least to recover the ruby "

The house -apidly filled n p . a n d soon Uncle Josh made his appearance, to the delight of the spectators.

Detective Simpson had witnessed the play before, bn t he would have found en-te r tamment in i tagnin could be have been

able to forget the two individuals in the h 0 h a d 8 0 0 0 , 1 1 panied f r o m

tha t little town m Connecticut to the me-tropolis of the country . They were never absent f rom his thoughts, and f rom his eotgn of vantage his eyes continually passed f rom ono t o the other.

There could bo no mis taking the inter-est of Fairchild. He laughed, became sonous almost to tears a n d applauded continually. He was all unconscious of the presence of any ono else in the house besides himself. Doubtless he would have been delighted could he have had a certain fa i r one then in Warhampton at his side to share his pleasure, bu t t ha t was out of the question.

From his seat opposite, the East In-an occasionally glanced across a t t he

young man. He showed no special i n * terest in him tha t would 1iavo nttracted the notice of any one besides the observ-a n t officer. There was n o call fo r him to tu rn of ten toward his intended victim, fo r the la t te r was sure to s tay whore ho w-as unt i l tho performance was over.

The evening was half-f inished when tne Asiatic suddenly turned his head and looked a t tho people behind him. Doing so. ho showed his countenance for the first t ime to the full view of Folsom o i m p s o n .

The la t te r almost fell to the floor. '"Outwitted a s s u r e as fa te l" he gasped. Catching up his hat , he bounded from

bis seat and rushed headlong out of the door, hke one whose life w a s in doadlv pen l The people stared a t him, doubt-less believing he was a madman, b n t he cared nothing fo r t h a t

He was aflame with excitement. Dash-ing through the door, he shouted the in-s t an t he reached the s idewalk:

A cab! A cab! Heavens! to think t ha t such a tr ick should have been played on me. fool t ha t I am!"

Then ho added in the bit terness of his chagrin and despair:

that had, made such a deadly assault on the detective in the grounds of tho Liv ermore homestead.

But he was not the ono tha t had ac-companied Simpson and Ar thur Fair-child f rom Warhampton that day. l ie was W i c h m a n - t h i s was Lugro.

Whi le tho two resembled each other in appearance, no ono could have a fair view of the respective countenances and mistake their identity.

This resemblance and the fact that they were both dressed in tho same fash-ionable costume led Detective Simpson to make a na tura l error when bo ob-served ono of them seated a short way in f ront of him: but , as wo have shown, when this same subtle miscreant turned his face in to ful l view he comihit ted a fa ta l blunder himself, for ho instantly apprised tho oflicor of tho t ruth , whereas had he but refrained f rom this facial exposure Simpson would never have dreamed who ho was unt i l the dismissal of tho audience f rom tho building, and then all hope would have been gone.

T h u s i t was t h a t t he whole astounding plot flashed upon the officer. Despite his certainty that bis own identity was unsuspected. Wichman knew him and his business, and had played a mortally clever trick upon him. He had substi-tuted Lugro for himcalf, doing i t wi th such skill tha t Simpson's suspicion wac lulled until tho moment named.

Whore was Wichman? Where else but at tho Astor House,

engaged in carrying out his astoundinn scheme to gain possession of the rajah'g ruby?

Aye, by means of tho device named he had thrown tho detective off tho track and gained two, three or more hours in which t o work out his plot wi thout fear of interiorence from detectives or police officers.

While Simpson was sit t ing in the place of amusoment , looking a t t he scenes on the stage and "between the acts" be-stowing some at tention to two of the personages in the assembly, the arch mover in tho villainy w a s gett ing in tho finest kind of work.

Tho precise na ture of tha t work re-mained to bo learned, but Detective Simpson was convinced tha t he knew what i t was.

At any ra te ho could not roach tho As-•tor House a moment too soon. Ho be-lieved that if he could be shot th i ther f rom a columbiad he would not arrive in t ime. In other words, the irrepnrahle mischief had already been done.

But there remain-, the possibility that i t had not.

Hence the furious baste of the officer may bo understood. I t w a s rare t h a t he became wild with excitement, but this w a s ono of those r a re occasions.

Ho was fairly dancing when he shot out of the f ront of tho building and fran-tically called for a cab.

"The Influence of Music on Man, Ani-mals and Plants"' was discussed by Di-rector Asger Hamerik in a lecture a t tho Peabody conservatory. Of tho second pa r t of his subjec t ho said;

'•There is no doubt of music's . w - r in animals. All singing birds are sub-j e c t to the infiuenee. The spider, the mouse and the snake can be charmed wi th tunes. 1 saw on St. Paul street one day a runaway horse stop suddenly where a street organ was being played and tremble all oyer. I had once a Gor-don setter that would play with his paw-on the keyboard of m y piano and, wi th a kind of m u r m u r , t ry to imitate tho human voice, making an effect that , if not musical, showed at least that the dog's mind a t t empted something in t ha t direction.

" I have had personal experience with the musical qualities of mice, for I once used to play the piano in a room where there wore many mice. When I played for a little while, out would come troop-ing a crit ical audience of mice, which seemed perfectly tame so long as the music lasted. I experimented with them again and again and arrived at the con elusion t ha t they undoubtedly were in some way infinenced by and very sns-ceptible to music. I grew tired of my fa i th fu l auditors a f t e r awhile and closed the doors of tho concert hall to them by having a t inner cover the holes and cracks in the floor.

"The aongof the bird and the crowing of the rooster a re no t their conversation They have a kind of chirping for that . W h a t , then, do the song and the crowing mean? Joy , contentment , exultation—as wi th man. W h e n a rooster has had good dinner, or when the snn shines br ight ly and warmly , or when any other cause makes i t think that life is worth living, the rooster crows joyously. Mu-sic is wi th man also an expression of emotion, bu t with him it has been re-duced to a science and is not , therefore, used natura l ly for every expression of happiness, as wi th the uneducated and unscientific rooster or songbird.

" I behove t h a t everything created, like ourselves, with ears, is susceptible to mu-sical tones, and i t is probable that , if we could only find i t out , there is musical m a • '.al in all such animals t ha t could be doveloped and cultivated in some way. : j - Balt imore Sun.

T r i c k s o f t b o T r a d e . When everybody is rushed i t is no

trick to secure custom; it is when his neighbors are idle tha t the man who has kept his name and goods before the pub-lic finds himself so well known tha t he gets his ful l share of what patronage is to be had.—Cloak and Suit Review.

Medical writers claim tha t the sue-cesjful remedy for nasal ca tarrh mus t be nor- i r r l ta t ing. easy of application and one tha t will reach the remote sores and ulcerated snrlaces.

home. Ignoring the gate m . by. And then to sneak off ashamed to

show himself! But he'll be on hand a t the game, no fear of t h a t . "

Chester ate his dinner somewhat sur-

lily, and was not in the best of humor when the boys gathered for the game of

ball tha t had been agreed upon. •I say count Dick Henneberry ou t . "

he said as the hoys gathered near, with

Rob Rawson in the center. "He 's com-

ng now, but a boy that ' s mean enough to lose a fellow's ball and then not own

up to it like a man, but send his little

brother to tell of it—" 'Oh, there, Chet! he didn ' t send bis

little brother , his little bro ther told of it

bimself," put in Rob. Well, but he had to steal off and keep

himself out of sight Instead of owning

up!" mut te red Chester angr i ly . " I say

he is a sneak ." Command your forces, command

your forces," said Rob good bumoredly. This is t ho commander-in-chief 's day,

remember, and we should do our best, as 1 t ake it. or call ourselves unwor thy of the day , " And he tossed his own

ball u p in the air and caught it deft ly. Rob always had a way of pouring oil on

troubled waters, and perhaps it was this tha t made him a favori te among big

let tha t ball of yours whizz plump up tinder the eaves of our barn , so it was the last of that. But if I haven't got a

five t imes better one for you, I'll never guess aga in! ' ' and with a bow and a flourisb Dick handed over a brand new

ball which every boy there knew bad come f rom no nearer place than Dan Spatilding's, down at the Corners, two

miles away . " S h e is a beauty!" saifl Chester turn-

ing it, somewhat orestfalleu, ah hough

he could not withhold his admiration, • i should say it was better than the other one." Then, ca tch ing the twinkle

in Rob Dawson's eye as be peeped over

Tom Gleason's shoulder to see the prize, his face iltished hotly, but instantly all

the man in him rose and asserted itself. ••Now see here, boys, I'll own right up

that I a m worsted!" and be shook his head dolefully, " I t only goes to show

tha i Rob is r ight again. He said if I

tried to get oven with Dick, I 'd find my-self in the roar, and I should say I had."

The boys laughed, and Dick looked

slightly mystified, aa wi th his bands in bis jiockets, he turned first to one boy and then to another , und found the

eyes of each holding a twinkle he could
