(Turning his head: “Why the deuce she should get suchan ideal”) Yet, after all, how can I speak Vito you on a faceless and thoughtless :phonograph, when it is your face that :I am dying to’ see and your little ear fthat I am dying to whisper into? The sight of you is the only thing that sat- ;i—sfies me, so how can I be satisfied with such a worldly, callous thing as a pho- nograph ? And, if one’s heart is not sat- 5isfied, how can one say the things that one feels, the things that stir in one’s ——er—heart? I take out your photo- ;graph-o-I take out your (Where on ' earth—1’) As I say, darling, I take out _ your photograph from the pocket near "my heart, where it' lives (Dash the thing! It’s Belinda’s!), to pretend I am speaking to your own sweet little self. But at the sight of it I can only be dumb and think of you. And when I am thinking of you, telling over your beauties to my deepest heart, how can I be so soulless as to pour out my soul on a phonograph, of all inert things? (W’ho’s that? ‘ John? Come in. No, not whisky this morning; brandy and soda.) The one thing that gives me happiness is the thought that, though ' apart, there is a connecting link be- tween us, even if it is only represenfed by a squcaking cylinder. (But that’s the tape, John. IVhere are you, John? John! See if Catapeltes runs in the first race. .‘Thanks. Now go.) And it is just thatconnecting link, squeaking cylinder and gaping tube though it is, that brings such heavenly joy to my soul. Oh, Cynthia, a man would serve and wait for years, a man would make no end of a fool of himself only for love of you! For one kiss I could give up all that other men call happiness. (How on earth I am to chuck Belinda, I don’t know. I suppose a man must, though.) Dearest, what did you, what could you mean last’ night by asking me if I had ever loved anyone else? How can you doubt me? ' DO I doubt you? I was horrified. Such a spirit is the ruin of married life. The woman who would be happy must trust her husband abso- lutely. When is a man safe if a little unfledgcd goose like you~aheml-I mean, never, never, darling, let your- self say such a thing again. It was al- most treachery to me for you to even think it. Could a man love as devoted- ly, as-——er———unselfishly as I love you. rich though you are, if he had. ever given a thought to another woman? Could a man look into your cycs if he _. had ever looked with love into anoth- "cr woman’s? You know he couldn’t Let that be our last’word on fhe sub- ject. I forgive you, so don’t cry your 7 pretty eyes out. ' I am simplyinundatcd with business this morning. Every moment I am called . away, but the whole world. should wait rather than I’d miss ’phon- iug you, as If promised. (By Jove, though, if I don’t look sharp over the thing: I’ll miss that Good‘rrcod special! Hang it all! I must see Catapéltes run his first race.) I would give anything to come and drive with you in the park instead of slaving here. (That reminds mc—B— must return that brougham. It will do up nicely for Cynthia.) But I shall not be able to do more than dine with you to-night, darling. Work presses me very hard, and I want to clear off everything before our mar- riage. You little know the incessant toil of my life, the constant sacrifice of , pleasure to the one dull grind. Bu‘t, darling, it is all worth while. I would do a hundred times as much for your sake. , When we are married there mustn't be a care in the world. And how,soon :that will be! Only three weelml (Yes, IBelinda must clear out of that Monte ,Carlo house. ~ By the by, why not spend :the' honeymoon there?) Oh, the insular staircases ‘95“! (0* W passion to the thing! marrow?) stirs my soul to its very depths. (Yes, I rang, John. Brandy and curacoa. And call me a cab.) And now, my dearest own, I must say good-by. There must be a throng of clientsin my room; I haven’t even time to hear this thing through its lesson. ForOver your own CLAAUD. II.——HER CYLINDER. What an amusing machine this is, and what a curious, clicking sound it makes! Though even now-and I read your cylinder quite three hours ago— .I hear its ticking less than the heat- ing of my heart. I am glad, anyh'Ow, that at first you liked the idea. It was nice to hear your voice. I’d never really heard-it before. How strange it seemed without you! ' How curious that your horse Cata- 'peltes was Only beaten by a head! Are two heads better than one heart?—be- cause a few hours ago you had your choice of either head or heart. Now there is only my head left. And it has suddenly become most unreasonable. That is, it even reasons. To hear your _-cy1inder “through its lesson” was al- most better than a play—if, indeed, a love play without a heroine could ever "be put on the stage. .I do not say with- out show, because it has happened be- fore—hasn’t it? My only regret is that I cannot take the other leading part in such a perfect style. But, at least as a critic, I will try to shine, more eSpecial- ly as you cannot yet understand how fullyyour part was appreciated. Why, for instance, did you have only two drinks this morning—in the play? :Surely a .few more, judiciously inter- spersed, would have lent more color and Not that that was wanting, either. And you did it passing well, too. I find no fault on that score. ‘Then, again, why didn’t you drink champagne, instead of bran- dy? It is.ever so much more efierves-I c‘ing, and even you must agree that, in your zletter, eifervescence plays a some- ‘ what leading part. Indeed, it drowns the should-’be heroine. ' Why, too, did you send John so quick- ly out of the room? Surely one listener more or less would make no odds—to use your own expression? There are two here—the girl that was myself, and a strangely calm and reasonable wom- an whom I dan’t quite understand yet. At least, I fully understand her when I feel her laughing at that stricken girl who lay cuddled rup crying on the sofa. How she cried, too! I really quite be- lieve she thought her heart was break- ing. How delicious! Besides, John’s laugh, though somewhat boisterous, no doubt, would have lent :power, if only as a precedent. At least, it would have been honest. Though that might be galling and might even spoil its stage efifect. Did you doubt his quality as worthy critic, or did you fear his mirth might prove infectious? Yet, why should that have mattered, either? And among those tales a laugh would pho- . I I , }’ '\\ _."

He might, indeed, have lent a hint or two. Then the mixing of those photo- graphs—that, for you, was poor, in- deed! I thought such faults would surely shame a novice! But enough—— let us see how we stand. First and fore- most, of course, the brougham will not need doing up—at least, I mean, for me. That will save a little. Then there’s no necessity for any expense about the changing of the house—or its occupant. That’s on the credit side, too. Then there comes the saving of another honeymoon. Your loss of time, too. This, however, I dare not at~ tempt to estimate. The ring, of course. is at least a dinner or so to the good. The bridesmaids’ presents a week at Monte Carlo, for certain. ‘ 0n the whole, it seems a very good credit list, indeed. The phonograph has been decidedly a success. Nothing on the debit side at all. Nothing, ex- cepting, of course, me, but then, as I said before, I am not the me you knew at all. I am the calm and reasonable woman, beginning to learn—shall I ad- mit it ?——a rather difficult part, gaining nothing if I succeed, and with only a: private breakdown if I fail.

CONSOLIDATION IO PREVENI FAILURE Two Millions Increase In Wages An- nually For Employees of Rolling Mills—Tariff Makes 'l‘ln Plate Manufacture Possible. WASHINGTON, Oct. 18.—The indus- trial commission continued its inquiry in- to the trust question yesterday, the wit- nesses being President Daniel G. Reid of- Chicago of the American Tin Plate com- pany; William Reis of Chicago, president of the National Steel company; Charles S. Guthrie of Pittsburg, president of the American Steel Hoop company, and Judge William H. Moore, the promoter of these and other trusts. ‘ Mr. Reid, in reply to questions as to whether the books of the company are open to the inspection of stockholders, produced a series of resolutions adopted by the stockholders at their first meeting, but not heretofore made public. providing that the books in which the transfers of stock shall be registered and the books containing the names, addresses and number of shares respectively of the shareholders shall be at all times during the usual hours of business open to the examination of every stockholder at the principal office. He said that Judge Moore had organized the combination and had received for his services $10,- 000,000 worth of the common stock. The consolidation had been made to prevent absolute failure, as many of the tin plate establishments were rapidly drifting into bankruptcy. The prices of the product had increased rapidly since the organiza~ tion, and there had been a corresponding advance in wages. He estimated that the increase in wages and in employees would represent an enlarged pay roll of $2,000,000 annually. The rolling mill men in his establish- ment were paid as high as $10 per day, the highest price paid to any laborers in the world. The average wages of their employees was $2.50 per day. Mr. Reid said that 13 mills had been shut down because of their poor location, but 25 new ones had been started. There are 39 establishments in the combina- tion. he said. Without the tarifi, Mr. Reid thought, it would be impossible to manufacture tin plate in the United States. The margin is now sufficient to permit the increase of the price of Amer- ican tin plate to $5.25 per box before bringing it into competition with the English product. I Mr. Guthrie said that he found the combination of the interests represented in the steel hoop company of vast ad- vantage in many ways, and especially in securing a foreign market. He hoped to see the time when the export steel trade of this country‘would be ten times as great in volume as at present. The United States had a' vast advantage over other countnies in the plen‘itude of its raw materials and the inland water haul furnished by the great lakes. These ad- vantages would enable this country to beat all the Enropean countries in the orient and in all other’places where there is fair competition. The steel hoop company was composed of nine different plants, with $14,000,000 of preferred and $19,000,009 of common stock. He con- sidered the tariff of very material advan- tage to the industry. Shaffer Answers Sampson. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 18.—General Shafter declines to enter into any contro- versy with Admiral Sampson over the Cuban campaign. He says he will not make a newspaper fightover it. “I was ordered by the president to take Santiago and drive out Cervera’s fleet,” General Shafter said last evening, “and I think that was done. As for the surrendcr'of Toral, that was the natural result of the campaign. Captain Chadwick was with me the day I sent the demand for sur. render, but the demand was not sent up- on his advice nor with his material assist- ance. He wrote the message that was sent, but what he wrote was a copy of. my demand. The handwriting was his and the form of address, but it is foolish to say he made the demand for surrender upon Toral.” A Coal Mine Explosion. a, POTTSVILLE, Pa., Oct. 18!-’-Ten miners were horribly burned by explo- sion of gas in the inside workings of the Shenandoah City colliery yesterday, and 50 others were entom’bed for several hours behind tons of rock and coal, which fell into the mine when the explosion oc- curred. The mine is-within“ the city lim- its and‘news of the disaster brought hun- dredsgto the mouth of the slope, from which the smoke and sulphur escaped in volumes. Rescuing parties were quickly. organized and the brave men lowered in- to the burnifig mine. Owing to the large quantity of fallen rock and coal and the volumes of smoke and gas the work of rescue proceeded slowly. The injured minors, who were taken out one by one, presented a pitiful spectacle. Aged Engineer Dead. NEW YORK, Oct. LEI—Joseph Wood, the oldest locomotive engineer in 'the United States, is dead at his home at Rid Bank, N. J., aged 89. He was fire- man on the John Bull, the first locomo- tive ever operated in this country. The engine was sent from England in 1830 and given its first trial near Bordentown, Mr. Wood’s native town. 'Mr. Wood was employed as an engineer during the war and was also engaged in the same capacity on a number of railroads in this section. He was the inventor of Wood’s improved frog, the steam whistle and steam pipe and other railroad appliances. Norway Wants Independence, CHRISTIANIA, Oct. 18.—In the storthing yesterday the Leftists adopted an electoral programme declaring, first, that Norway’s independence should be recognized by the appointment of a sepa- rate minister of foreign affairs and the establishment of a separate consular sys- tem; second, that arbitration and neu- trality should be recognized and enforced, and, third, that a system of insurance against incapacity to earn a livelihood shouldbe applied to the whole Norwegian people.

HAVANA, Oct. 18.—-During the_past 30 days there have arrived here over 2,000 Spaniards, who say that it isaim- ~ possible to obtain work in Spain and that the government is assisting them to emi- grate to Cuba. It is belived that over 200,000 will .come to Cuba within the next few months, rendering the situation ,. of the island more complex. One of these Spaniards who recently arrived says that women are not assisted to emigrate, the Spanish government aiding only men over 18 years of age to leave the country. A large number of these immigrants de~ sire to work in the mines, but the mer- chants here are giving employment to all for ‘whom they can possibly find posi- tions. Mrs. Letorde, wife of Military Govern- or Ludlow’s acting chief clerk, died yes- terday from yellow fever. She was the first American woman since the occupa- tion to contract the disease. Almost ev- ery case of the fever among the Ameri: cans is traceable to certain places fre- quented by (them. There have been 20 cases of the fever this month and seven deaths. SurgeOn Major Davis says he is in favor of not allowing Americans to land in Havana next year between July and October. He also says if the same rule were applied to all foreigners yellow fever would practically disappear. La-Lucha, in an editorial against an- nexation, says, “The American body pol- itic is about as rotten an old corpse as coc’ld be discovered and has long} been so. ' Lieutenant Blue Married. MORRISTOWN, N. J., Oct. 18.—Lieu-. tenant Victor Blue of the United States battleship ,Massz‘xchusetts and Ellen Footc Stuart were married last evening at 5 o’clock at St. Peter’s Protestant Episco- pal church. The marriage ceremony was performed by Rev. Dr. Hibbard, rector of the church. Lieutenant Blue was second in command of the United States gun- boat Suwanee in June, 1898, when he was selected to go ashore and ascertain for a certainty if Cervera, with the Spanish ‘squadron, had entered Santiago harbor. The lieutenant tramped 70 miles, examined all the fortifications and saw all of Admiral Cervera’s ships. He made a report at once to Admiral Sampson and handed Sampson a copy of a Santia- go newspaper that contained information. He Was advanced to the command of the Suwanee. He is a native of'North Caro- lina and is the son of Colonel John Gil- christ Blue of the Confederate army. __,,______..... . President Andrnd'e Will Resign.

Pennsylvania—Suedberg, Rufus - ' THE CHURCH QUESTION. of Havana Gives His Side ‘ of the Story.’ rife Bishop l . HAVANA,- Oct. 17.——The bishop of Hi!- vana claims the public has hitherto heard only one side of the church story and says that the church does not hold any property or receive any income to which it is not entitled. In some cases. says the bishop, where money had been left "to certain religious societies for masses and these socOetics had ceased to exist the church had undertaken to say the mass- es, taking over as payment the property left for the purpose to the defunct socie- ties. , The bishop declares that the Cubans are not more hostile to the church than are the Spaniards, who pillaged church property whenever they could find an ex- cuse for doing so. Protests made through Rome to the Madrid government remain- ed unheeded, but negotiations are now going on with the government in Wash- ington in regard to certain questions rela- tive to church property in Cuba, and it is expected that the American authorities will show more justice than had been shown by the Spaniards. The bishop de- clares that the church had not refused to prove title to property which it now held. All the church asks, he says, is that its property be reSpected the same as the property of any other institution.

First Day of His Tour In the Interest \ of Goebel. LOUISVILLE, Oct. 17.—The first day’s trip of the Bryan-Goebel party through Kentucky commenced yesterday moifiing at Cairo, Ills, the first speech of the day being made at Bardwell, Ky.-, in the presence of a good natured and good sized crowd. The special train reached the Kentucky town\at 8:30 o’clock. In his opening address Mr. Bryan demon- .strated his purpose to urge the support of the Democratic state ticket headed by William Goebel for governor. He held that the question of whether or not the next president of the United States was a Democrat depended largely upon whether Kentucky was Democratic this fall. He held that it was not a matter of moment what man headed the ticket, claiming that any Democrat who stands for the Chicago platform is better than a Republican. In the presence of the enemy was not a time to air personal grievances. The real question was one as to principles be- tween the parties. In national matters he assailed the at:- ' cabinet. titude of President McKinley as related , to the Philippine Islands, asserting that i the president’s declaration that congress would care for the islands was a subver— sion of the DeclarationOOf Independence and the first to be openly made by a res- ident of the United States. The dec ara- tion of the president suggested the use of the word parliament instead of congress. Two Brothers Fight. RALEIGH, Oct. 17 .—-A special to The News and Observer from Mount Airy, N. C., says: “Late Saturday evening, ten ~ miles north of here, in Carroll county, Va., near Fancy Gap, Jack and Floyd Allen. brothers, became involved in a difficulty at a magistrate’s court.
