. ‘L'ENVOI.

When Earth’s last picture is painted and the
tube< are twisted and dried.

When the oldest colors have faded and the
youngest critic has died,

We shall rest. and, faith, we shall need it—
lie down for an aeon or two. .

Till the Master of All Good Workmen shall
set us to work anew! .

And- those that were good shall be happy—
thev shall Slt in a golden chair;

They shall splash at. a ten-league canvas with
brushes of comets’, hair;
They shall find real saints to

Magdalene. Peter and Paul;
They shall work for an age ata sitting and
never be tired at alll

And only the Master shall praise us. and only
the Master shall blame; -

And no one shall workfor money. and no one
shall work for fame;

But each for the joy of the working, and each
in his separate star,

Shall draw the thing as he sees It for thrGod
of ihings as They Are! ..

-—Rudyard Kipling,

AMBER.

'At the sound of a footfall in the cor-
ridor he laid down his pen and leaned
wearily back in his big arm chair.

Presently a hand thrust backthe
curtain from the doorway and his wife
entered. She was gowned for the
«‘vening in her favorite color—dull yel-
law. There were diamonds at her
throat and in her gold-brown hair. She
looked mdiant with pleasure.

“Shall I do?” she asked, coming for-
ward, and leaning upon the desk with
Ler hands, palms downward.

“You will do very well,” he said‘i'at
last. “What is it to-night, Amber?"

“ ‘Faus’t.’ I am going with the Ken-
dalls, Lawrence—” '»

He took up his pen witha slight ges-
ture of impatience that effectually si-
lenced her. Half the joy died out of
her face. She stood a moment watch-
ing him as he wrote; then she went
round and laid her hand timidly on his
shoulder. ,.

“J ohn—” wistfully. it

"Well?”

She hesitated, hoping that he would
look up or say something more; but
he did neither.

“I—I am going -now. Good-by.”

“Good-by.”

It was the tone, not the words, that
brought a sudden dimness into her
eyes. She lingered still with her hand

‘on his shoulder. Then she slowly re-
moved it and stole out of the room.

As the curtain ceased swaying be-
hind her the pen dropped, and John
Sarles covered his face with his hands.
He heard a carriage stop at the curb-
ing and the front door close with a
bang. He heard a man’s voice and a
man’s gay laugh—both Lawrence Ken-
dall’s; then there was ’a rumble of
wheels, and he lifted his head with a
jerk. Something like a sob escaped
him. ‘

“Lawrence,”gshe had said. It had
come to that, then! Lawrence! John
Sarles knew him well—knew how his
handsome face and winningr smile en-
deared him to the hearts of women—-
how he was sought after, pcttcd, ad—
mired.

Ah, well, it was something. after all,
to be born with a handsome face and
straight, strong limbs. John Sarles
looked bitterly at the crutch leaning
against his chair, and thought that be-
couse of it life had withheld much of

. its sweetness from him. Wealth and
even the powerful intellect which put
him in touch with the b1'i‘.;l.;ost think~
ers of the day failed to ital-Le up to
him for that.

He had been on the point of sink-
ing into the self-imposed isolation of a
proud, morose nature when Amber
came—Amber, the little daughter of his
intimate friend, who, dying, had en-
trusted her to his care. ‘

Soon the music of her laughter had
chased away the ghostly echoes from
the lonely old house, and the light of
her happy eyes brightened every room.
Her books strewed the tables. her flow-
ers filled the long unused vases, her
gowns made bits of color against the.
dark walls as she flitted up-stairs and
down.

Gradually all became charged be-
cause of her. New furniture l'(‘.} lll'a‘il
the old, new carpets covered the floors,
the conservatory blossomed with r we
plants, and a grand piano lit up a dark
recess of the library with its polished
ivory and rosewood.

By-and-by. the little girl became a
maiden to whom every door was open.
and whose smile was a favor which
men considered as well-nigh precious:
and all the time that Amber was grow-
ing winsome and sweet and graceful
John Sarles was growing old and
wrinkled and gray. But his heart was
young as ever, and he loved Amber
with all the “pent-up force of his na-
ture, and he suffered agonies because
of that love, feeling that she could
never, never be his.

One day a handsome boy of good
family came to ask him for Amber’s
hand. Poor John! He gave his con-
sent and blessing as well. What else
could he do, not knowing but that Am-
ber loved him? And while the boy was
pleading his cause, John sat in his
study with as bitter a heartache as
ever man had. ,

Presently the door opened, but he
didn’t look up. And then came a

' 'sweet, sobbing voice and the pressure
of two soft arms about his neck from
behind. '

“O guardy, guardy, are-you tired of
me that you try to get rid of me so?”

He was suffocating with surprise and
joy and terror, but he managed to
draw her around where he, could see
'her face, which was rosy with blushes
and persiStently averted.

“Amber!” he cried. “Tired of you!
Want to. get rid of you, Amber!”

And then, reassured by his tone, she
burst out passionately,—

“You, you must be, else you’d never
have sent him to me, when you know

“I hate himehate them all but you i”

He drew her down on his knees at
that, and held her close in his tremb-

ling arms. His face was near hers, but
he did not kiss her. He could only
look at the sweet, wet eyes and child-
like mouth, the round, soft cheek and
golden-brown hair, wondering, doubt.
ing, hoping all at once—he could not
have told which the most of the three.

That was two years ago—two blessed
years of such happiness that they
seemed to him like a long delightful
dream. Amber loved him, and Am~
berwas his wife.

But ,of late a shadow had fallen be- :

tween them—the shadow of Lawrence
Kendall.

He had grown cold and austere in
his manner, causing Amber many tears
and much worriment. Once he had
been positively harsh toward her.
\Vhat elsehad he been to-night? And
all the time his proud, sensitive nature
was «suffering to its utmostcapacity.

Dear little Amber! He could feel
the tears in her eyes and the quiver of
her mouth though he could not see
them. The wistful pleading in her
voice had touched him to the quick.

How he longed to snatch her in his
arms—crumpling the dull yellow silk,
if he must, and ,rufiling the shiny hair,
for she used never to complain—and
kiss her over and over and tell her
how much he loved her, and how
sorry he" was to hurt her by word or
look. .,

But no—his pride, his indomitable
pride, restrained him, and he had let
her go with her whole evening spoiled
because of it. ‘

Ah, just wait, till she came in, tired
and cold and sleepy! Then he would
make all right. She would forgive
him—0f course she would, the darling!
And *'they would be happy again as
they had been for weeks, sitting by
the fire together, she in the big crim-
son chair, and he on the ottoman at
her side, just where he could touch
her hand or check and kiss her when
he chose.

The firelight would dance on her hair
and bring out the soft color in her face,
and she would laugh and smile in the
Old joyous way. What a fool he had
been—how cowardly and unreasonable,
to doubt his innocent darling even for
one moment!

It was two o’clb’ck, and Amber
ought to have been home an hour ago.
What was it made John .start and
tremble and pale as he glanced at the
clock? Were his fears confirmed?
Had his doubts become truths?

Hark! Was not that the sound of a
carriage pausing at the curbing? W'hat
occasioned this unusual confusion in
the hall below?

John Sarles seized his crutch and
limped a few paces toward the door,
but stopped as it was flung open, and
the figure of an old serving man ap-
peared on the threshold.

“Master—” he began.

John Sarles’ lips moved but no sound ,

passed them.

“Master, I have come with the sad
news for you. There has been an ac-
cident—the horses ran away—and Miss
Amber—” ’

He caught John as he reeled and
fell, and answering the mute, awful
appeal of those 'agonized eyes, con-
eluded,—

“Is hurt seriously, but not fatally.
They have just brought her home.”

Three months afterward, when
bursting buds and freshly sprouting
grass proclaimed that spring was at
hand, Amber was carried into her hus-
band’s study and propped up by pil-
lows and cushions on the sofa there.
Her. face had lost its roundness and its
dainty color, and the beautiful brown-
gold hair was cut close to her head.

There was a great bunch of yellow
roses on the table at her side, and she
touched them lovingly, knowing that
John was watching her, and. that he
had placed them there.

Presently he came and sat down on
the edge of the sofa—all their differ-

ences had long since been made up—"

and took her hands in his and held
them tenderly against his month.
There were tears in his eyes, though
Amber’s were clear enough.

“You dear old John,” she said, smil-
ingly. “I believe you feel worse about
it than I do.”

He sobbed.

“Well, you needn’t, you silly boy.”
She was silent a moment, and then she
said, musingly, “Do you know, I be-
lieve I’m half glad—”

“Oh, my darling, to be lame all your
life!” '

“Yes, for don’t you see, we shall sym-
pathize with one another more than
we ever have? And, oh, John-1'

“Yes, Amber.”

“I never realized before”! how patient-

and dear you were until I was hurt. I
think I love you better than ever, if
that can be, and I am sure—quite,
quite sure, that this has been a blessed
lesson for both of us. aren’tyou?”.
And John, in his newer and clearer
wisdom, dared not deny it.—-Waverly_

‘They Do Not Throw Their Quilis.

The spines of the porcupines are
very loosely attached to the body and
they are very sharp—as sharp as a nee-
dle at the outer end. At almost the
slightest touch they penetrate the nose
of a dog or the clothing or flesh of a"
person touching the porcupine, and
stick there, coming away from the
animal without any pull being re-
quired. The facility in catching hold
with one end and letting go with the
other has sometimes caused people to
think that the spines had been thrown
at them. The outer end of the spines,
for, some distance down, is covered
with small barbs. These barbs cause
a spine once embedded in a living ani-
mal to keep working further in with
every movement of the muscles, so
that it is not a pleasant thing to get
stuck full of them—Portland Oregon-

The Celebrated Case Before New
York’s Appellate Court.

STRONG ARRAY )OF COUNSEL.

‘ Six Distinct ques Are Involved In the
Trial, and a Number of Colleges
Hope to Be Boneflted Poonnir
nrily by the Decision.

, ALBANY, Dec. 2.—-The court of appeals
calendar for today contained but one case,
the celebrated Fayerweather will case be-
ing the one argued. There was a brilliant
array of counsel present, headed by John
E. Parsons, William B. Hornblower and
Elihu Root. The case has been heretofore
described in detail, and the arguments
will consume two or three days. There
are six distinct issues in the case, but the
main contention is to obtain for Amherst,
Dartmouth, Hamilton, Williams, Univer-
sity of 'Rochester and eight other smaller
colleges a proportion of $2,150,000,

, amounting to from $50,000 to $100,000,

from the estate of Daniel B. Fayerweather.

The basis of this principal contention is

that the testator desired to have this ‘

money given to the colleges, but that the
residuary legatees have wrongfu divert-
ed it to other colleges and discriminating
against those appealing. Judge Truax in
the lower court decided for the appealing
colleges, and the general term affirmed
this decision. .

Judge Follett, who'wrote. the decision,
decided that the defendants, Thomas G.
Bitch and Henry B. Vaughan, for them-
selves and on the part of Justus L. Bulk-
ley, induced Mr. Fayerweather to believe
that if he would make them residuary leg-
atees of the estate, as provided in the codi-
cils, they would sell and convert the resid«
uary estate into cash and divide the same

equally among the 20 corporations men- ‘~

tioned in the ninth paragraph of the will,
and that Mr. Fayerweather died convinced
that the trustees would dothis, but that
they attempted to dispose of the residuary
estate in violation of these promises. The
defendant trustees, backed by the schools
and hospitals recognized by them, now
contest the general term opinion.
other Claimants.

Mrs. Fayerweather died in 1893, and her
executors also appeal from the decision of
the general term, holding that the heirs of

ng. Fayerweather are entitled to the resi-
, due of"the estate which the colleges are
‘ fighting for.

From thisthe appeal is taken. The coun-
sel present today include for the appellant
James C. Carter, and S. B. Brownell for

.the dances; under the deed of gift, Colonel

Edward C. J aides and William Blakie for

the widow’s executors and next of kin;
! General S. L. Woodiord and C. H. Bovie for

Executor Ritch; Edward Winslow Page
,and Henry Van Epps for Union college;
John E. Parsons for Executors Bulkley
and Vaughan; Charles M. Earle for
the Manhattan dispensary of New York;
for the respondents, James H. Bishop
for Amherst, Horace Russell for Dart-
mouth, Elihu Root for Hamilton, Newton
M. Cooke for Rochester university, William
B. Putney for Williams, A. W. Kittie for
Northwestern university, and William B.
Horn blower and Howard A. Taylor; for
Lincoln university. The argument was
opened by Colonel James.

Bishop Keane’s Goodby.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.—The rectory of
St. Patrick’s church was thronged today
by callers on Bishop Keane. In some re-
spects it was a remarkable demonstration
of the warmth of feeling for the former
rector of the Catholic university. The
bishop’s plans contemplate his leaving here
tomorrow for Baltimore, where he will be
the guest of Cardinal Gibbons, thence to
Philadelphia with Archbishop Ryan and
then to New York, where‘he will sail on
the Bretagnc Saturday.

\Voman’s Body In the River.

PEEKSKILL, N. Y., Dec. 2. —-A Hun-
garian, while walking along the banks of
the Hudson, about a quarter of a mile
from this village, saw the body of a wom-
an floating in the water. He secured the
:body and towed it to Peekskill, where

Coroner Apgar was notified. The body is

believed to be that of Agnes White. She
3 has been missing from this village for a
few days.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.—A report was cir-
culated that Mrs. Charlotte Augusta Dray-
ton was about to be married to Mr. George
Haig, a member of the firm of Haig ,8:

affirm or deny that she had given her con-
sent or made any arrangements in the
matter.

Christmas Feast For Three Thousand.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 2.—A Christmas feast
the like of which has never before been
seen in St. Louis will be given by the

sons, and the officers are now in search of
a spacious hall. large enough to accommo-
date the above number.

Boosevelt In the Cabinet.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.——President Roose-
velt of the police board was» asked today

cept or decline anything until it has been
offered me.” He refused to say anything
more.

Shrewcbury River Frozen Over.

RED BANK, N. J., Dec. '2.——The North
Shrewsbury river was frozen today for the
first time this winter. It is the earliest the

CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis., Dec. 2—11 more

 

and to the French Professor Moissan for _

- disastrous flood than the memorable one

of 1884, in which thousands of dollars’
worth of property was destroyed, threatens
this city. An ice gorge, fastened by thou-
sands of logs, has formed at the site of the
old Lafayette mill, and the enormous 'body
of water which resulted on account of the
recent rains is being held in a space com-

pansing the distance between the gorge .

a and the Chippew‘a Lumber and Boom com-

pany’s dam in this city, acovering about
six miles of the river.

The water from the numerous creeks

and lakes tributary to the Chippewa ‘is
fast filling the country along this six
miles, and farms and dwellings are being

inundated, and the city is in danger. Al- ‘

, ready the basements of every business and
" dwelling house in Spring and River streets

are filled, and the water isfiowly creeping
up Bridge ' street into the city. There
seems to be no escape, and in a short time,
it is believed, the river will have reached a
height of :3 l or 30 feet.

'ilie sewers are flooded, and the water
is treezing as it rises. At the rate the
water is rising now a height will be
reached that means the flooding of half of
the city. The electric lighting plant has
been flooded, and the city was in darkness
last night. At Irvine, near here, the
tracks are flooded, and no trains came in
today.

The alarm was sounded early yesterday
morning, and all day long teams and an
army of men were busy in moving goods
from basements and stores near the river.
As the water continued to rise and it be-
came known how great was. the volume of
water which was accumulating other
merchants became alarmed and started in
to get their goods to a place of safety. The
excitement last night was even greater.
The absence of electric light, the yellow
glimmer of lanterns and candles in its
place, the shouts of teamsters and toiling-
men made a weird combination. The
weather is intensely cold, and the streets
are a mass of ice, over which flows the in-
coming tide as it slowly rises.

A similar flood occurred in 1894, caus-
ing a loss of many thousands of dollars.
A great deal of railway property is threat~
ened, and many highway and railway
bridges will probably be swept away. Be-
low the immense gorge the river is prac-
tically dry, and when the jam breaks the
body of water in the reservoir must carry
destruction to the valley below. Eau
Claire has every reason to feel apprehen-
sive, as its danger begins when that of
Chippewa Falls has passed.

The News From Eau Claire.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis., Dec. 2.—The Chip~
pewa river is jammed with ice .in_ several
places from the Dells Sorting works, just
above Eau Claire to Gravel island, two
miles from Chippewa Falls. The backwa-
ter at Chippewa is accumulating rapidly,
flooding part of the town, and is up to 18
feet. Alarming reports are received as to
the possibility of the ice jam breaking and
precipitating a great mass of water on Eau
Claire. About 20 miles of the valley divi-
sion of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St.
Paul south of Eau Claire is under water
and ice, and there have been no trains for
three days.

On the lowlands below Durrand the rise
was so rapid that many families had to flee
in their nightrobes to places of safety, and
leave their all behind them. The suffering
among the women and children was in-

~ tense, and many were reported as having

frozen feet and limbs. As a rule those who
could fled to the railroad track. There they
built a fire and tried to protect themselves
from the frosty winds until relief arrived.

An engine and coach sent out from Du-
rand gathered up about 40 or 50 of these
unfortunate persons, but so fast was the
water rising that the train had to go back
to Durand. It is thought that some of
them were not reached by the rescuing
party and possibly may have perished. The
bottoms are all under water, and the stock
and produce are a complete loss. Dead do-
mestic animals could be seen all about the
neighborhood, irozen stiff in the ice. In
most of the homes were stored the winter
supplies, and these were all lost.

Stevens Point Too.

STEVENS POINT, Wis., Dec. 2.—The wa-
ter in the Wisconsin river at this place has
reached a point three feet below the great
high water mark of 1881, 'when this town
was flooded. At present the streets several
blocks back from the slough which runs
through the city are flooded,‘and last night
residents in the flooded districts carried all
their goods from the cellars up stairs.
Barns and outhouses were flooded, and the
owners of stock were compelled to secure
quarters for them on higher ground. The
water is over 50 feet above low water mark,
and should it continue to rise the lower
parts of the town will be flooded. A dike
was built a. number of years ago for the
protection of a large part of the residence
portion of the city, but this has now fallen
into disrepair, and if the threatened flood
comes hundreds of families will be com-
pelled to seek shelter on higher ground .

WAUSAU, Wis., Dec. l.—The Wisconsin
river is so high at Heights, 8. point a few
miles north of this city, that it is impossi-
ble for trains to go any farther than Wau-
sau on account of the railroad track being
flooded to the depth of 18 inches. The wa-
ter is the highest it has been in eight years.

Big Deal Falls Through.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2.—A paper states
that the projected sale ’of the Los Angeles
street car “lines .to a. syndicate of South
African mine operators has fallen through.
The agent of the syndicate informed the
bondholders of the roads that his clients
were unwilling to undertake the enter-
prise.

rivals to talk. Though no one can say
positively that Major McKinley has sanc-
tioned the candidacy of Congressman
Gmsvenor, a Pennsylvania gpresentative
informed me today that suc was the gen-
eral impression.

“One- reason for this,” said he, “is Mc-
Kinley’s knowledge that Reed does not

.feel very friendly toward him. He wants

a speaker who will work in harmony with
him. Without such harmony the success
of the administration will be lessened.
Unless the speaker of the house is in sym-
pathy with the president there is always
trouble. The accomplishment of the ad-
ministration’s wishes is obtained only aft-
er considerable difllculty. But when per-
fect sympathy exists between the two the

; accomplishment of the desired results is

 

 

easy in so far as it may lie in the power
of the speaker to make it easy.

“The McKinley people know. that on '

general subjects there is more sympathy
between President Cleveland and Speaker
Reed than thereis between Major McKin-
ley and the speaker. It is therefore not
unnatural that the major should prefer
Grosvenor to the man from Maine.

‘ ‘ There is another reason. Reed is not in
favor of a tariff so high as that which Mc-
Kinley wants. A man of Reed’s great force

of characterand domination of the house

would be able to prevent the passage —Of a
protective measure so high as cKinley
would wish. It would be humiliating for
the major to feel that he was unable to get
through the house the kind of a. bill he
wants when there is a Republican major-
iiw Of good proportions in the body. But
he realizes that such would be the case
should Reed be the next speaker, and, as I
tell you, the major will see to it that Reed
is not re-elected to the high office he now
occcupies if he (the major) can prevent it.”

Double Tragedy In a Church.

TROY, S. 0., Dec. 2. —A double tragedy
occurred at Bethany church, near here.
For some time a feud had existed between
L. J. Williams and J. D. White because of
political rivalry. The matter was broached
after church by J. V. White, a brother,

seph S. Brown, wife of ex-Mayor Brown
of this city, was burned to death in a fire

Bradley has declined to offer a reward for
the arrest and conviction of turnpike raid-

cite the mobs to more deeds of violence.
