"Oil, mother, won't you take this pil

dear" aTomied poor ltoe Lincoln, a
with at-hing brail and lung aha did pen-
for her Imprudent in rmssitif the
wet, slippery street In thin slippers and
silken btM.
Mm, Llm-ota, who knew nothing of ttii
exposure, loudly lamented the extreme
delicacy of ber ilrt iiyliif r' constitution,
Imputing l wholly o Mount H'dyoke dis
cipline, and winning, a she bad often
don before, that 'he'd Into wis and

Utueaa rould hare been avoided, for It
waa not very agreeable tank to atay In
that rlosa xlik room. listening to th
complaint of ber fault-finding sister, wbo
toaaed and turned ami fretted, from
morning until night sometime wishing
herself dead, and then crying because ah
"wanted something, and did not know
what."., ... ........ ..
Ob! dear." aald she. oua evening sev
eral daya after the rammeneetnent of bar
Illness, "bow provoking to b obliged to
II here mopii't with the dullest of all
dull company when there's XI r. Russell
party next week, and I've surh a lovely
dress to wear. Why ain't I aa strong
and healthy a yonttbongb' I wouldn't
be o fat for anything. . I'll go to that
party alck or well, I wouldn't niise It
for anything."
Jenny looked up In aurprlae, aaklng
v why her elater wn o particularly anx
loua to attend the party. ,"
Heeue," returnei Hose, "Mary How
ard will be there, and you know aa well
a I how awkward she'll appear never
waa In any kind of society Id her life.
"I don't ae what Inducement that can
be for yon to expose yonr health," aaid
Jenny, and Rose continued:
"I want to aee Ida mortified once, for
ahe might know better than to bring
green country girl here, aettlng her up
aa eontethlng wonderful, and expecting
everybody to believe it junt because Miss
Belden aald an. Come, bring me my
dress, Jenny: I want to aee If the Honl
ton lace on the capa ia aa wide aa Ida
BeldenV- "' - r--j f 4, jj ij
"What do you meanf aaked Jenny,
turning quickly toward her alater, wbnao
white, waated face looked fitter for a
ahroud than gay party dreae.
"I mean what I aay," returned Roae;
"I'm not going to be cooped np here any
longer. I'm going to the party to-morrow
night. If I never go again."
"Why, Itoie Lincoln, are yon craxyf
atked Jenny. "You haven't been in tbe
atreet yet, and how dd yon expect to go
to-morrow night? Mother wouldn't let
you. If ahe were here.' ;- , r -r
"Well, thank fortune! ahe and father
both are In Southbrldge; and beaides that
I'm great deal better; ao band we my
ClriMtS u V-C" - -4 j'' '
Jenny compiled, and recliutng on' pil
low acarcely whiter than heraetf, ltoae
Lincoln examined and found fault with
thin goaamer fabric, little auited for
anyone to wear on a cold, wintry night,
and much leaa for her.
"There, I knew It waan't a wide aa
Ida'a Into an eighth or an inch," aald ahe,
meaaurlng wltU her finger the expensive
lace. "I'll have aorue new. Come, Jen
ny, auppoae you go down atreet and get
it, for I'm bent upon ; going;" and tbe
thoughtlcaa girl aprang lightly upon the
floor, and cbaaed halfway acroaa - the
room to ahow how well and atrong ahe
waa.
Jenny knew that further expostulation
from her waa uaeleaa, but ahe refuaed to
go for the lace, and Sarah, the aervant
girl, waa aeut with a note from ltoae
aaying ahe wanted nice article, eight
or ten dollar per yard.
"I don't believe father would like to
have you make auch a bill, aald Jenny,
when Sarah waa gone. "Mother didn't
dare to tell him about your now dress,
for he told her ahe mustn't get anything
charged, and he aald, too, something
about bard times. Perhaps he'a going
to fail. Wouldn't It be dreadful I"
If Rose heard the last part of thla
sentence ahe did not hoed It, -for to her
the Idea of her father' failing waa pre
poateroua. When the dinner bell rang
ahe threw on a heavy shawl and de
scending to the Jlnlng-parlor, remained
below atalr all the afternoon, forcing
back her cough, and ; chatting merrily
with (roup of young girls wbo had
called to aee her, and congratulated her
upon her Improved health, for excitement
lent deep glow to hoc cheek, which
would easily deceive the Inexperienced.
The next day, owing to overexertion,
Hose' temple were throbbing with pain,
and more than, once ahe half-determined
not to go; but her passion for society
was atrong, "and Mrs. Russell's party hnd
0 long been anticipated and talked about
that she felt ahe would not miss it for the
world, 'and, as she had confessed to
Jenny, there was also a mean curiosity
to see how Mary Howard would appear
at a fashionable party.
"Saturate my handkerchief with co
logne, and put the vinaigrette where I
can reach it while you arrange my hair,"
he aaid to Baarah, who at the usual
hour came up to dress her young mis
tress for the evcuing. "There, be careful
and not brush so hard, for that ugly pain
Isn't quite gonenow bring me the gluss
and let me aee if I do look like a ghost."
"Pale, delicate folks Is always more
Interesting than red, hearty ones," said
the flattering servant,
"Mercy, how white I ami" exclaimed
Rose, glancing at the ashen face reflect
ed by the mirror. "Rub my cheeks with
cologue, Surah, and ace, if that won't
bring some color into them. .There,
that'll do; Now hand me my dress. On,
Isn't it beautiful?" ahe continued, as she
threw aside the thickly wadded double
gown and assumed a light, thin dress,
which fell In fleecy folds around her
alight figure.
When her toilet was completed Rose
stood up' before the long mirror, and a
glow of pride came to her cheeks aa ahe
saw how lovely she really was.
"You's enough sight handsomer thai
Miss Jenny," whispered Harsh as the
door opened and Jenny appeared more
Imply arrayed than her sltr, but look
ing a fresh and blooming a rosebud.
"How beautiful you are. Rose," she
said, "only it make m shiver to look
at your neck and arms. You'll wear your
woolen sack, beside your shawl and
cloak, won't you?"
"Nonsense, I'm not going to be bun
dled up tbl wy, for don't you aee It
mnsaea the lace," aald Rose, refusing tbe
warm aack which Jenny brought her. ;
A rap at the door and call from
Henry that tbe earring wa waiting
ended the renrersstion, and, tbrowlng
on their rloaka and hoods, the girls de
scended to tbe ball, where, with unusual
tenderness, Henry caught np hi Invalid
sister, and, drawing the veil closely over
her face, carried ber to the covered
lelgh, ao that her feet might not touch
the ley walk. 4
"What? Rose Uncolo here?" exclaimed
half a dosen voice a .Rosa bounded
into the dressing-room.
. "Yea, Rose I4ncoln Is here," she re
plied, gayly, devesting herself of her
wrapping. "I'm not going to die Just
let, I guess, neither am I going to be
housed up all winter. The fresh air ha
done me good already see," and ahe
pointed to a blight, roond spot which
burned her cheek.
A young girl, whose fsmlly bad one
by one fallen victims to tb great New
England plague, consumption, shuddered
and turned away, for to her eye the
glow which Rose called health was but
the hectic bloom of death.
"How beautiful she UT said more than
one, as with ber accustomed grace Rose
entered the brilliant drawing-room. And
truly Ros"wbs beautiful that night, but
like the gorgeous foliage of the fading
autumn, 'twas the beauty of decay, for
death was written on her blue-veined
brow, and lurked amid the rose on her
cheek. Hut little thought she of that,
a with smiling lip and beaming eye she
received the homage of tbe admiring
throng. .
Jnt then Ida and Mary were an
nounced. Dotb Aunt Martha and Ida
had taken great pa Ids to have their
young friend becomingly ' dressed, and
she looked unusually well In the em
broidered muslin skirt, aatln waist and
blonde bertha which Aunt Martha had
Insisted upon ber accepting as a present
The rich silken bralda of her luxuriant
hair were confined at th back of her
finely formed bead with a golden arrow,
which, with the exception of a plain band
of gold on each wrist, was the only or
nament sb wore. This was her first in
troduction to the gay world, but so keen
waa her perception of what waa polite
and proper that none would ever hare
su.epected It; and yet there waa about
Iter something so fresh and unstudied,
that she had hardly entered the room
ere many were atruck with her easy, un
affected manners, ao different from the
practiced airs of the city belles.
1211a watched ber narrowly, whispering
aside to Henry how sorry she felt for
poor Mary, ahe waa ao verdant, and real
ly hoped ahe wouldn't do anything very
awkward, for 'twould mortify her to
death! "Put look," ahe added, "and aee
how many people Ida la Introducing her
to."
"Of course, why shouldn't she?" asked
Jlenry; and Ella replied: ' , .
"I don't know it seems' so funnyj to
ae Mary here, doesn't It?" -
Before Henry could answer, a young
man of his acquaintance touched hi
shoulder, saying: "Lincoln, who la that
splendid-looking girl with Miss Selden?
I haven't seen a finer face in Boston for
many a day." , .
. "That! Oh, that's Miss Howard, from
Chicopee. An Intimate friend of our
family. Allow me the pleasure of in
troducing you," and Henry walked away,
leaving Ella to the tender mercies of
Rose, who, as one after another quitted
her side and went ore to the "enemy,"
grew very angry, wondering if folks were
bewitched, and hoping Ida Seldon "felt
better, now that she'd made ao many
notice her protege ; ' ' ;
Later in the evening,' William Bender
came, and Immediately Jenny began to
tuik to him of Mary, and the Impression
she was making. , Placing her hand
familiarly upon hla arm, as though that
were It natural resting place, she led
him toward a group, of which Mary
seemed the center of attraction, Near
her stood Henry Lincoln, redoubling his
flattering compliments in proportion aa
Mary grew colder and more reserved in
her manner toward him. Silly and con
ceited as he was, he could not help no
ticing how differently she received AVill
lam Bender from what she had himself.
"But all In good time," thought v he,
glancing at Ella, to aee how she was af
fected by his desertion of her and his
flirtation with her sister. She was stand
lug a little apart from any one, and with,
her elbow resting upon a marble stand,
her cheeks flushed, and her eyelashes
moist with the tears she dare not shed,
she was watching with Teelings In which
more of real pain than jealousy was min
gled, for Ella was, weak and simple
hearted, and loved Henry Lincoln far
better than such a he: deserved to bo
Joved. . ;,'''" '":
"Of what are you thinking, Ella?"'
asked Rose, who finding herself nearly
alone, felt willing to converse -with al
most anyone. ' - ' '
At the sound of her voice Ella looked
up, and coming quickly to her side, said:
"It's so dull and lonesome here, I wish
I'd stayed at home." ' ; jt
In her heart Rose wished so, too, but
she Was too proud to acknowledge i;
and feeling unusually kind toward Ella,
whose uneasiness he readily understood,'
she replied: "Oh, 1 see you are jealous
of Henry, but 'he's only trying to tease
you, for he can't bo interested in that
awkward thing."
"But he is, I almost know he is," re
turned Ella, with a trembling of the
voice she tried In vain to subdue; and
4hen, fearing she could not longer re
strain her rJBotlon, ahe suddenly broke
away fro Ku, and ran hastily up to
th dressing-room.
Nothing of all tbl escaped Uenry'a
quick eye, and aa sundry unpaid bill
cam looming np before hi mind, be
thought proper to make some amend
for his negtect. Accordingly, when Ella
returned to the drawing room be offered
her hi arm, asking: "What mad her
eyes so red," and slyly pressing her hand,
when ah averted her face, aaying: ,
"Nothlng-they weren't red."
Meantime, William Bender, having
managed to drop Jenny from bis arm, had
asked Mary to accompany bun to th con
servatory. Aa they stood together, ad
miring rare exotic, William's manner
suddenly changed, and drawing Mary
closer to bis side, he aald distinctly,
though hurriedly; "1 notice, Mary, tbat
you seem embarrsssed In my presence,
and I have, therefore, sought this oppor
tunity to assure you thst I shall not aguls
distress you by a declaration of love,
which, If returned, would now glv me
more pain than pleasure, for aa I told
you at Mr. Selden', I am changed la
more respects than one. It cost me a
bitter struggle to give you up, but rea
son and judgment finally conquered, and
now I can calmly think of you a some
time belonging te another, and with all
a brother's confidence can tell you that
I, too, love another not as once I loved
you, for that would be imp&uibla, but
with a calmer, more rational love."
All this time Mary had not spoken,
though the band which Willism had tak
en In bis trembled like an imprisoned
bird; but when he came to peak of lov
ing another, ahe involuntarily raised his
hand to ber lips, exclaiming, "It's Jenny,
If Jenny!" -
. "Yon hav guessed rightly," returned
William, amiling at tbe earnestness of
her msoner. It Is Jenny, though how
such a state of things ever came about i
more than I can tell yon."
Fearing that they nilirht lie missed, they
at last return d the parlor, where
they found1 Ella m- fe t nt, the piano, play
Ing a very spliit.-d pi.l'.a. Henry, who
boasted he" "could wind her around his
little finger," had succeeded in coaxing
ber Into good humor, but not at all de
airing ber company for the rest of the
evening, he asked her to play aa the easi
est way to be rid of her. When she look
ed around for commendation from th
one for whose ear alone ahe had played
she saw him across the room wholly enj
grossed with ber sister. .
Poor Ells! it wa with. the saddest
heartache ahe had ever known that ah
returned from a party which had prom
ised her so much pleasure, and which
had given her so much pain. Rose, too,
waa utterly disappointed. One by on
her old admirers had left ber for the so
ciety of th "pauper," as she secretly
atyled Mary, and more than once during
the evening had abe heard the "beauty"
and "grace" of her rival extolled by
those for whose opinion she cared the
most; and when at 1 o'clock In the morn
lug ahe threw hersetr exhausted upon
the sofa, ahe declared, " 'twaa the last
party she'd ever attend." '
Alas, for thee. Rose! that declaration
proved too true!

HUNTING WITH THE CAMERA.
A DeliKhtfal and Profltabl War af
MaJylns; Mini Life.
Of the many delightful birds I had
the good fortune to know, tbe worin
eatlng warbler family have afforded
me the greatest pleasure; for they be
come absolutely fearless of the cam
era, and they place a degree of trust lo
one that waa as unusual as It was de
lightful. Being anxious to secure pho
tographs of the young, I paid frequent
visits to the nest, and what a wonder
fully concealed nest It was, tucked
away in a small depression and hidden
by the roots of an oak sapling. It would
forever have remained undiscovered by
me had I not, by lucky chance, observ
ed one of the parent birds visiting It
Only at first did the owners object to
my Intruding, aud by various methods
did they try to coax me away from
their home. First one and then the
other would feign broken wings, and
half rolling, half scrambling, they
would make their way down tbe steep
hillside In the hope of luring me away.
Then, finding that I was not to be taken
In even by such aa artful device, they
endeavored to accomplish their object
by scolding at me. In less than two
hours they quieted down aud simply
looked ou in silence. Tbe next time
I visited the nest they made no objec
tions, and I imagined they recognized
me, and realized that I meant no hnrm
either to themselves or to their young,
for these had hatched bIiico my last
visit, , ,. 9 iJ . '; . r. .V
Day by day I came to watch the little
fellows, and they grew rapidly, as all
young birds do, Finally they were
ready to make their 11 rat venture into
the great world that should not acci
dent befall them, was to be their feed
ing ground for many years to come.
As I looked Into the nest the family
of fledglings scrambled out as though
they had been scattered by some invis
ible hand, so nearly simultaneous was
their action, and tu less time than It
takes to tell It each little mite of down
and rust-colored feathers was hidden
among the dead, crackling leaves with
which the ground was strewn. Though
I, had tried my best to watch where
each bird concenled Itself, It was some
time before , I collected them all pre
paratory to photographing them. Of
course the parents were greatly excited
birds always are when their young
first leave the nest and when they
saw the entire brood captured by one
whom they had considered ' a friend
they seemed to regret having placed ho
much confidence in me. But only for
a very short time did their doubts con
tinue. As soon as I placed the young
sters on a suitable perch: they both
ceased to utter that lisping note of anx
ious protestation, and to show that they
no longer feared uie they hopped about
on the camera while I was arranging
It World's Work.

THE BALAENA WRECKED.
Aackat Pteific Whaler Cow oa the Rocks la
Bthrinf Sea.
Seattle, July 5. The whaler Bala
ena, of Ban Francisco, belonging to
the Pacific Steam Whaling Company,
lies on St. Lawrence Island, 20 miles
west of Southeast cape, in Behring
sea, a total wreck. Captain P. F.
Cotte and the CO men in the crew bad
an almost miraculous escape from
death. Through the bravery of the
officers all escaped to shore.
The Balaena was on a voyage to the
Arctic. She was provisioned for 30
months. The whaler left San Fran
cisco April 4. and, after battling with
the ice for weeks, bad succeeded in
working through the worst of the
floe. She - was headed to pass St.
Lawrence island when the wreck oc
curred. Shortly after midnight, May
1, the wind rose until it assumed the
strength of a gale, and the whaler
was driven to a point 20 miles west of
Southeast cape, St. Lawrence island,
where she struck a rock. The cap
tain immediately ordered the boats
out. The whaler seemed to have
been hung on the rock, and, although
the waves were pounding her terribly,
she did not founder. In a very short
time the boats were manned and the
crew started for the shore. The sea
was so high that it was impossible for
the boats to keep together, but they
all made the island eventually. The
hinds and feet of several are badly
frozen.
The Balaena ia a total wreck. She
is hanging to the rock where she
struck, but is liable to slip off into
the water and sink at any time. She
struck on the port side and crashed a
hole fully 12 feet in the length of her
hull: L

Huntington, W. . Va., July 5. A
fire raged in the heart of the city
from 11 o'clock this morning until
6 o'clock this evening, resulting in
the loss of $200,000. The flames
started in a hotel which was crowded
with guests, many of whom were
women. Of these a number fainted
when the alarm of fire rang out
through the halls, and it was with
great difficulty that they were re
moved from the building. There was
not a gallon of water in the city re
servoirs when the fire broke out and
all the fire engines in the city were
out of repair. Rapidly the flames
spread and soon half a dozen rest
dences were ablaze. A livery stable
and a number of private houses fruit
stores, barber shops and dozens of
smaller structures were burned.
DISORDERS IN MEXICO CITY.

TELLUniDE STRIKE ENDS.
Miners Rsgsrd th Tsrm af StttUmeat m
Practical Vkiory.
' Telluride, Colo., July 9. With the
positive information from Lieutenant
Governor Coates, a member of the
commission appointed by thegovernot
to investigate the strike in the Smug'
gler-Union mine, that Governor
Oraian would not send troops, and
with the assurance from the mine
managers of the district . that they
could not longer afford to close down,
Arthur L. Collins, manager of tha
Smuggler-Union mines, has conceded
several points, and a settlement be
tween himself and the Miners' Union
has been made.
This ends the strike, and many
miners will " returnto " work " im-
mediately.
The terms of settlement are looked
upon as a victory for the miners, and
tonight hundreds are celebrating in
Telluride. The tension of the last
four days has been removed and the
miners and citizens alike are jubilant.
The agreement was signed after a con
ference lasting three hours. The
miners declare that the settlement is
a victory for them, but Manager Col
lins claims that he is satisfied and
tbat he has not conceded any material
points. The local union held a meet
ing tonight and declared the strike off.
By the terms of the settlement non
union men may be employed in the
Smuggler-Union mines. It is certain,
however, that the union miners will
not allow non-union men to remain
so any longer than they can help.
The union ia permitted, through ita
president or secretary, to declare a
man incompetent and order his dis
charge. This feature of the settle
ment is a distinct advantage to the
union, and will enable the union to
regulate unionism in the mines. The
secretary is given the right to visit
the mine at any time, and can order
the measuring of the men a work
whenever he wishes, even though the
man has worked but one hour. He
can also order the payment of the
men at any time. The Liberty Bell
and Tomboy mines, which were closed
during the Smuggler-Union trouble,
will also open again. The following
ia the agreement : ,
First The company agrees not ' to
discriminate against the union or
the members thereof, and the union
and the members thereof agree not to
molest nor nor interfere with non
union men.
Second The union expresses its
entire disapproval of the recent out
rages. Third The company agrees to let
the president or secretary of the local
union have full access to its surface
property at all reasonable hours ; pro
vided that the work of the men is not
interfered with.
Fourth The union agrees to use
all its influence to stop the illicit sell
ing of liquor in Marshall Basin or
around the mine.
. Fifth The company is to have the
right to let contracts to any men who
wish to take them, all such contracts
to be on printed forms which are here
after to be drafted by a representative
of the union and a representative of
the company.
A TASTE OF FREEDOM.
That Is All th Cubans Want, Says Central
Gomez, Thta Annexation,
New York, July 9. A dinner waa
given tonight at the Union League
club to General Maximo Gomez' and
General T. Estrada Palma, by W. E.
D. Stokes. Mr. Stokes was formerly a
member of the Cuban league of Amer
ica, and was closely identified with
the work of the junta, of which Gen
eral Palma was the head. The Cuban
general made a brief speech, which
was interpreted by General Gonzales.
General Gomez said he was deeply
touched by the remarkable reception
he had received in the United States.
Cuba and the United States, said the
general, belong together. It is only
a question of gravitation when they
will be one. But at present, after the
great struggle in which thousands of
lives were sacrificed, and when men
returned to their homes only to find
their wives and children starved to
death ' in the restricted barriers in
which Weyler had them under his
policy of concentration, they felt that
they must have Cuban libre. It is
now fully realized. He said that
Cuba cannot get along without the
United States, but the Cubans want
to feel freedom.
After dinner General Gomez said to
the newspaper men that he wished to
express his gratitude to the press of
the United States and of the world for
the great good they had done to the
cause of Cuban libre. He was sure
that the Cubans would now establish
their own . government, and would
show the gratitude they feel for the
help of the Americans in removing
the Spanish yoke.

Privateering Threatened.
? Brussels, July 9 The Petit Bleu
says that Mr. Kruger has lately re
fused to entertain proposals to arm
privateers, but that the promoters are
again urging the ex-president of the
South African republic to notify the
powers that unless they intervene he
will issue letters of marque. In the
event of Mr. Kruger's continued re
fusal, the promoters propose to act
without authorization.
