He bchley for cowardice! paid out $200,000 for another ves sel called the Hartford, rechris« tened her the Terry, and was glad to get rid of her tor $19,600. Some way it is not easy to adjust one’s mind to the belief that ships that were good enough to send sol* diers to tLe Philippines in three years ago are worthless old hulks today. It is far easier to accept the theory that either the government was cheated shamefully by their former owners, in collusion with dishonest officials, or it has been robbed by the officials responsible for the condemnation and sale of the transports. Senator Mitchell is borne to Portland after a trip to France, where he went in quest of health. The senator says there is a “differ ential attitude" to Americans abroad. Can it be that, after all, the plain citizens of this republic have the only rightful claim to no bility? It is probable, though, that the “differential attitude’’ is a purchasable one, assumed for the purpose of getting all the American gold and silver possible. When Mr. Roosevelt succeeded to the presidency many persons called to mind his former relation to civil service reform, and won dered if he would follow his former bent in the appointments which would have to be made by him. A- an answer, it only has to be stated that- last week he appointed a democrat to a federal judg ship in Alabama. President Hayes ap pointed a democrat to the cabinet. Dn the afternoon of November 16th one of the most popular driv ing streets of Brooklyn, New York, will be closed to the pub’ic to give auto-mobiliets a chance to test the speed ot their machines. The well known auto men claim that they will make a mile or better a min ute. Twenty five thousand Turkish pounds, the lansom demanded by Turkish brigands for the American missionary, Miss Stone, means about two ordinary horse-loads of gold. Negotiations for her release are still under way. Warren Dow is dead at Platts burg, New York, after holding of fice as a deputy United States mar shal continually since 1858—forty- three years. A good office holding record, and one seldom equaled. A train load of hops left Port land the other day. When the car loads of pork and poultry products can be stopped coming this way and sent with the hops the people will be better off. What is there that men will not gamble on? Two checker players are under arrest in the Portland police court for staking their money on the outcome of a series of checker games. The next thing to Btealiug a hot *toye has occurred near Portland. Miners broke into a powder maga zine and carried off a considerable quantity of the explosive. According to a Texas farm paper Sunny Italy is not so sunny the large cattle ranches of South these days. There was an inch west Texas have so suffered from and a half of snowfall at Rome drouth this summer that the cattle Thursday night. remaining are very thin; and the additional fact that feed is dearer than ever before, all indicate that the number of cattle fed in Texas will be quite short this year.

A pretty si joe present d itself to SOCIAL Mr. Joseph Lawrence, member of parliament, reports to the N wpjr , England, chamber of commerce that the American steel trust b 1 agreed to deliver steel billets England for $17.50 per ton. Ii J American consumer pays $26 t > $27 for the same thing, and there is no ocean freight to be paid either. The platform adopted by the democracy of Massachusetts con tains these words: “We are abso lutely opposed to colonial im perialism abroad. We demand (for the Philippines) ultimate inde pendence under the protection of this country. We favor free trade by means of genuine reciprocity or otherwise.”_________ Circuit Judge Eakin, of Eastern Oregon, has held that the recent sale of tax certificates was unlaw ful and unconstitutional on three grounds. First, the law is retro active; second, the notice was de ficient; third, the enactiug clause of the law does not pretend to explain the body of the aet. A New York msnufactur-r has contracted to build an automobile that will make eeventy miles an hour over a level road.

THE TORIES. THE CURSE I’m g tli-vAniertcnn Revolution Cap tain George Y allatne fell In the battle of I -ng Island, but his grave could not be found. He left a daughter and a s’eps,>n. the child of a widow whom he ■ I ! married. The widow was seated In her home on the Hudson river when t! el.x-k struck lit young man in the uniform of a British officer cau tiously entered. “You have brought your troopF* ' More than enough to capture ten rebels," said Captain Rudolph, for whom his mother’s Influence had pro cured a British commission. "You are sure Horace Sinclair Is in the summer house?" Twice have I heard his signal to Cora. Tlie letter I wrote hint he has deemed his Cora's, imploring him to hazard even life itself to meet her this night In the lonely summer house. Have you the chaplain with you?’ "lie is below tn the dining hall. Rut. mother, can you force Cora to become my wife?" “You shall see." was the cold and firm response. “Go, capture Horace Sinclair. Bring him hither, bound. " hen you return, let the chaplain bo with you. Cora shall meet yon and ere you part shall be your wife.” Iler reckless son left her, and she rang a small bell as be departed. "Tell Miss Valíame.” said she to the prompt servant who answered to her call, "that I desire her here Immediate ly." The servant hurried to obey. She soon returned, bearing a lamp and fol lowed by the lovely orphan. Cora Val íame silently bowed her head as she entered. “Walt!” was all that the widow said, and as she spoke loud shouts, pistol shots and the clash of steel reached her ear. Cora glanced uneasily toward the door and then to her stepmother’s face. Ere long Rudolph threw open the door and was followed by two British dra goons. who escorted a young man clad in the uniform of a Continental major of cavalry. A short. 111 looking man In black brought up the rear. “Horace, and a prisoner!" exclaimed Corn. "The same," «aid Rudolph, fierce with a bloody gash that seamed bis cheek. "The rascal has slain two of my best men. But be shall die the death of a spy.” "My uniform proves that 1 am no spy,” said Horace Sinclair. "I have fallen Into a snare and am a prisoner of war—no spy. Cora, did you write me n summons hither?” “Never, Horace,” said Cora in aston ishment. " ’Tis some trick of this”— "Of mine!” said Mme. Valíame sharp ly. “Come, we have no time to lose. Cora, you see that gentleman In black? lie Is tlie Rev. Charles Fairweather. He Is here to make you the wife of my son!” "The wife of your son’s meanest trooper shall I be sooner than his!” ex claimed Cora. "Consent.” said Mme. Valíame, “or see Horace Sinclair banged upon the tree where he and you have so often met!” "They dare not hang me, Cora,” said the calm voice of the bound officer. “1 am taken in my uniform aud no spy. Do not be Imposed upon.” "Do not sing so boldly,” said Mme. Valíame. "The hanging of a rebel, uni formed or not. Is a pleasure to our loyal English general. “Cora Valíame, you see that dial. It Is now 20 minutes after 10. If when tlie minute hand shades the figure <1 your lips have not made you my non'* wife. Horace Sinclair swings.” “Oh. Horace, wliat shall I do?” cried Cora as the silence grew terrible. "Let me die a thousand times rather than behold you the wife of that rene gade, who slew his mother’s husband,” said Sinclair. “Oh, Horace!” And. weeping bitter ly. she flung herself upon her brave lover'* Is-som, and ere the furious son and fiendish mother could tear them asunder Cora's quick hand, armed with a dagger, had severed the cords that bound the American's arms. Sinclair snatched a saber from the hand of the nearest trooper and sprang upon the other, who went down, cloven to tlie chin. Wheeling fiercely, the saber clashed with that of Rudolph and. sweeping back from tlie »hock, came down with a mighty slash that sheered the ruf fian's right arm from the shoulder. Shouts and the sharp tumult of sud den strife without smote Rudolph's ear as lie fell, and the next moment the room was filled with American dra- goons, led by one whom be deemed long dead—George t ailame! "Just tn time, my boy,” said Val íame, who liad escaped from the slaugh ter of Long Island and for purposes of his own t*>re another name In the American army. “1 m -»trusted tills when I fonnd the decoy letter written by that tigress. Returning to camp, 1 found the letter In your tent and, collecting a score of your dragoons, hastened to save yon.” An hour after, as British soldiers filled the bouse so timely vacated by the American*, they found Mme. Val íame lying upon the body of her son and as dead as be. The sudden shock bad slain her. When the war was over, years after.
