Tumultuous aj plause surged through the great ga leried house as the last notes of th closing chorus died away Among those who still remaine sitting as if spellbound by the rnusi were a regally bandsoms lady an her escort, both foreigners. Thi lady it was who, among all that ever t ing's patrons, had most attracted th admiration of Louis, the pale bo s usher. Accustomed to tbe sight c beautiful and sumptuously-gowne women, this one with her majesti air, brilliant eyes and gracious smil 3eemed to him a queen. Regretfull she at length rose and offered her su perb shoulders to receive her ermin cloak. * That night Louis' duties kept hii late. At last, ready to go, passin down the aisle,-ho was attracted by glittering objeci in the seat the lad had occupied. Closer inspectio showed a string of beads curled upo: the velvet cushion, where they ha1 Slipped from her neck. Louis raise them toward the light.

The lights were already being es tinguished, so he slipped the neck lace carefully into his pocket an started home. The.street vwhere Louis lived wit his invalid mother and little siste was an obscure one, far from th homes of the pleasure seekers wh frequented the opera; for Louis wa the family's sole support. But it wa hie ambition some way to give hi sister, passionately fond of music an gifted with a voice of great promis< i musical advantacps. How. he di not yet know. I He found both mother and Cor stance waiting up for him. "What makes you look so happj Louis?" queried Constance, as h opened the door. "Do 1?" replied Louis, indifferent ly, still smiling. "It must be becaus . the music was wonderfully fine tc night." "How I'd love to hear it, too! cried Constance. "Some time you'i going to take mc with you, aren you? I dream of it all?the hcavenl music, beautiful faces?and hear th singing^in my sleep?really!" "Yes, Sis, some time when I'm ric you and mother shall go evory nigh and bav; the best box in the house.

"If you knov who lost then Louis"?began Constance, who wz the soul of honor. Then Louis explained, assurir them the necklace would be adve Used in the morning. "Meanwhile they're yours, S>?.

Then breakir into a snatch of song "I really think J could sing lit your prima donna wearing thi Louis," she laughed merrily. "Some time, Sis," whispered he. The next morning Louis scannf the papers and bulletin boards i vain. The days passed. Constant still guarding the treasure. She h? grown fond of it. and often openii the drawer, where it lay on a scrz of velvet, patted it lovingly. One evening, happening to be c duty, Louis took Constance to ti Park.

The early ravages of the d phylloxera were touched upon, and s the writer said that, as the producs tion of the real wine had been reduced by two-thirds, adulteration beg came a common practice. The rich native wines were blended :- with cheap foreign products and were > "fortified" with potato spirits and d sweetened with beet sugar. The imitation wines so produced were so h skilfully made, says Mr. Windmuller, r that many experts were deceived, and. e ordinarily it was not until after the o liquor had been drunk that the des ceit was discovered. The article cons tinues: s "Meanwhile the hardy American d grapevines, which could not be at?, tacked by the phylloxera, were d planted and improved the conditions of the French vineyards; their yield i- gradually increased and is almost as 1 large now as it has ever been. But [ r, in the years of scarcity wine growers : e had lost customers; they are now confronted with an unsalableness of j their product caused by the success- i e ful competition of substitutes for i ). wine, and by the compounds of the j adulterators who sell a spurious bev- j " erage called wine, with a finer flavor j ; and superior color, at a price lower i 't than genuine wine can be made for. ! y "When he could not for his hon- j e est liquor, realize enough to pay for j the barrels and was on the point ; h of-starvation, the vintner blamed hia j ,t government for the poverty to which ! ? he had been reduced- He believes 1 it that the treasury winks at the falsi- j fiers who pay a large portion of the ' millions which the French fisc an- I ? nually gets for the duty on sugar." [ ? Mr. "Windmuller compares the re- ! cent "revolution" with the "whisky g insurrection " in Pennsylvania in 1791, and describes the troubles. He ; continues: lC "If the laws of France punish adulterators of wine, they have not been ie enforced with severity, such as pres> vails in Germany. A dealer near Mayence, who recently was caught in a the act of selling spurious Johannist3 berger, had to pay a fine of a thousand" mark and to spend a month in .. the workhouse. His vats were un..D cfeermoniouslv hauled from his cellar bins and emptied into 1?he gutter. ,t "A resolution to inflict a similar punishment on French wine adulteracrs has recently been adopted by the ,e Chamber, and it seems to have * i-almed the minds of the insurgents lf already. "When conscientiously car9 ried into effect it will satisfy the vint? ners that their government at least ce can no longer be blamed for their 's distress; and when their dishonest ' competitors are put out of business, they may find a better market for the >(j honest juice of their generous grapes. [ Such result would not alone benefit all consumers of wine, but it would \ strengthen the French administration which has. by forbearance and wise ^ measures, accomplished it." Wrong Kind of Glass. a )e He was a young and smart iooking Scotch clergyman, and was to jj. preach a "trial" sermon in a strange m church. Fearing that his hair might 1(j be disarranged or that he might have a smudge on his face, he quietly and a, significantly said to the beadle, there re being no mirror in tigs ve3try: "John, could you get me a glass?" John jy disappeared, and after a few minutes er returned with something under his <oat, which, to the astonishment of ro the divine, he produced in the form I of a bottle with a gill of whisky in it, saying: "Ye manna let on aboot it, uj rneenister, for I got it as a special favor; and I wadna hae got it ava n_ ii 1 hadna told them it was for yotf."

New York City.?The simple tailored shirt waist fills a placo in the wardrobe that nothing else supplies, and is consequently always in demand. Here is one of the latest modfhaf ia amorf in tha AYtfPniP. finfl which allows a choice of two styles of collar and sleeves. In this instance it is made of white linen with large pearl buttons as finish and is worn with aseparate,turn-over collar. But it can be cut out slightly at the neck and finished with a collar of the material as shown in the small view, and it can be made with elbow sleeves so that there are practically two waists in one. Linen, madras, and, indeed, all the washable waistings, and also such materials as taffeta, pongee and light-weight woolens are appropriate. The tuclcs are arranged to give exceptionally beJ| M mi comJng lines to the figure and the double - breasted effect is distinctly novel. Tho waist is made with fronts and back and is laid in tucks that are stitched for its entire length. It can be closed by means of buttons and buttonholes or invisibly as liked, but in either case the two rows of buttons are ufed on the front. The sleeves are gathered at'upper and lower edges and the long ones are finished with regulation cuffs, the short ones with cuffs of the turn-over sort. The quantity of material required for tho medium size is three and seven-eighth yards twenty-seven, (hpf>p anr? a half vards thirtv-two or two anJ a quarter yards forty-four inches wide. Crowning Madness. Hug? veils and feathers continue to be chosen by ultra fashionables. A well-known actress in Paris, who now and then takes this town by storm with her smart dressing, appeared recently in a hat bearing a plume nearly a yard long and a veil that not only eovered head and shoul tiers, but fell nearly to the bottom c>the skirt in the back. Sashes Arc Popular. Sasbes are more popular than for some seasons past. Dresden, moire and brocaded satin ribbons make the handsomest. Prom five to six yards are needed for those with long ends and several loops. Gown to Match Eyes. "Gown to match the color of the eyes, hat to match the shade of the hair," is a rule for dressing that ia remarkably becoming to many women. y'B' ' , ' " nrvTTifJsa5L i Pompadours For Evening. Pompadour silks make charminj | evening gowns under transparent oversklrts of i*>im desprit, net or spangled tulle. j Chenille Flower Trimming. A new trimming for afternoon 01 evening dresses is of chenille flowers especially in white in combination with silver, as, for example, silvei ] outer petals, silver berries or silver < foliage. l Dycxl Buttons. . Dyed buttons, pearl buttons, are a j recent nuance. Perhaps the prettiest of these are those in the popular golden brown shade which adorn 1 women's tailored suits of this brown k tone and men's waistcoats. Still an- ( other golden brown novelty is the 1 boze calf tie men are wearing, ar^ci ' which the smart New York girl has < taken to her heart ami accompanies with a crush belt of the same. Nine-Gore<i Skirt. The plain nine-gored skirt is always a desirable one. It never really goes out of style, the many seams mean satisfactory fit and good lines, while it is always a desirable model for washable materials, as it launders with singular success. Again, the very fact of its simplicity makes it possible to use trimming of many sorts. Here is a very satisfactory model that, as illustrated, is made of dotted linen with trimming of linen braid and which is entirely satisfactory. it could, however, be utilized for every possible skirting material while the trimming can be varied ia an indefinite number of ways. Straight bands of heavy lace inset are much used on washable fabrics, while for the pongees, silks, voile and the like bands of graduated width of contrasting material are much in vogua and there are countless bandings that* can be applied to suit individua' taste. The skirt is made in nine gores and is laid in inverted pleats at the back. It is perforated for walking length and consequently suits both the street and indoor gowns. The quantity of material required for the medium size is eleven yards twenty-seven, five and three-quarter yards forty-four or five yards fiftytwo inches wide if material has figure or nap; seven yards twenty-sevei four and a quarter yards forty-four or fifty-two incnes wine u 11 nas aui. Blnck Ribbon Waists. It is a Parisian fad among young women of fashion to wear on their 1 blouses of linen or bodices with chem1 isettes of lace a ribbon of black 1 moire, of which the ends are ornamented with large rough Dearls set in divf/ionds. I ? % WW WINNER f in MILK FIGHT Southern Road Accepts the Two New Rate Laws. ITS STATE LICENSE IS RESTORED \grces to Put New Passenger and Freight Rates Into Effect?Will Not Seek Federal Courts? Sweeping Victory of State. Montgomery, Ala.?The Southern Railway has surrendered to the State )f Alabama. This probably marks :he end of all attempts by this rail- ' vay corporation to use the Federal Courts in defeating rate legislation n the Southern States. The threat by Governor Comer to irrest every Southern employe in the ] state and send all to jail should the jorporation operate without a license , lad much to do with the settlement. J rhe Governor was also about to call i special session of the Legislature lor the passage of drastic laws. This, i with the disinclination of any Federal Judge to step in and enjoin the State, made the surrender of the , ajlroad certain. Beginning on the first of next Month the Southern road and all its allied lines will put into effect the :wo and one-half cent passenger rate ind will reduce the freight rates on L10 commodities. In recognition of , :his the Governor has restored the license of the railway to operate in Alabama. Tho r.ornoration further agrees I :hat it will recognize the State courts ind not take any snits into the Fed;ral conrts until they have been jassed upon by the judiciary of Alaaama. It. was because the railroad :ook a case from the State to the federal Court that its licer.se was evoked. The settlement means that ihe corporation will not attempt to jse Federal Judges in any technical Eight against State laws. The rate legislation, both aa to passengers and freight, is accepted for the time. The agreement declares :hat their operation of the laws is subject to judicial determination as :o their constitutionality and reasonableness. Meanwhile, the other laws enacted by the Legislature last winter affecting railroads will remain under the injunction granted by Judge Thomas. G. Jones of the Federal Court. The railroads agree ttat they will ask Judge Jones to modify the restraining orders issued two months ago so as to permit of the immediate operation of the two passenger and freight acts in question. The compromise affects only the Southern Railroad. The other systems of the State were not parties to the conference, but it is conceded that they will follow the Southern road. Governor Comer says that all friction is now at an er.d. The railway company, he says, has recognized the sovereignty of Alabama. He added: "The State stands always ready to j protect the railroads, and also I consider it my duty to protect the people. The State is willing to meet the railroads with a view to adjustment on terms of equity. This the people of Alabama want, and this they are entitled to and shall have." VENEZUELA YIELDS. Agrees to Pay Belgium $2,000,000 in Conformity With The Hague. Caracas, Venezuela, via WillemBtad, Curacao.?Venezuela advised Belgium that, in recognition of the principle of arbitration, she would pay the disputed claims of Belgium creditors, amounting to $2,000,000, In conformity with the decision of The Hague tribunal.

New York Central and Pennsylvania, 1 Joined With Standard, May Be Fined $12,120,000. Jamestown, N. Y.?Convictions on all of the counts of the indictments ] returned, by the Federal Grand Jury ] for Western New York would make ' four corporations liable to fines ag- 1 gregating $18,240,000. Judge Hazel received the report 1 from the Grand Jury on its invest!- 1 gations of the Government's charges 1 against the Standard Oil Company, the Vacuum Oil Company, the?New York Central and the Pennsylvania 1 railroads, of giving and receiving special and {illegal concessions on -shipments of oil from Olean, N. Y., to points in Vermont. The report includes the presentation of two indictments against the Standard Oil Company, two against the Vacuum Oil Company.two against the New York Central and Pennsylvania roads, jointly, and two against each of these railroads separately, a total of ten indictments'. Of the two indictments against each corporation one contains 188 counts and the other forty counts. The report given is only a partial one, the jury adjourning until September 5. when it will continue its work. The indictments in substance charge that while the legal rate from Olean to Norwood was twenty-six and a half cents a hundred weight on 228 cars of oil, the oil companies paid only 11.8 cents, giving them the benefit of about fifteen cents a hundred weight over other concerns. The report exonerated the Rutland Railroad and the Vermont Central from participating in the alleged illegal practice, the evidence showing they received the legal rate for their part in carrying the shipments. The law provides a penalty of $20,000 for each count in case of conviction. A conviction on each count would render the Standard and Vacuum Oil companies and the New York Central and Pennsylvania railroads liable to fines of $4,560,000 each, or a total of $18,240,000. The investigations were conducted by S. Wallace Dempsey, of Lockport, N Y. Not taking into account the Rochester indictments the net result on conviction in respect to the counts would be on maximum fines $12,120,000 for the Standard and Vacuum and $12,120,000 for the New Yor& Central and the Pennsylyania, a total of $24,240,Q0?. - ; WRIT OF ERROR FOR TRUST. It is Allowed by Jndge Grosscup? Supersedeas Held Up. Chicago.?The attorneys for the Standard Oil Company filed the company's assignment of errors in the United States District Court in the rebate conviction case. They then went before Judge Grosscup in the United States Circuit Court of Appeals and made application for an appeal, a writ of error, and supersedeas. The trust's attorneys contend that the supersedeas should be granted upon a bond no larger than sufficient to cover the costs. It was claimed by the Government, however, that the bond should be fixed at $29,240,000, the amount of the fine imposed by Judge Landls, in order to secure the Government'pending a stay of exe-' cation on tjtie. judgment. The .assignment of error contained 116' citations in which Judge Landis is said to have erred in his decisions during the trial. Judge Grosscup allowed the writ of error. Supersedeas was held upi.

'3 small force landed from the French cruiser Du Chayla for their defense. rf oooms that havlrnr rnmnletplv \ plundered, the Moorish and Jewish quarters and lusting for further - ^ plunder, the Arabs found that they -r 'i must first of all drive away the guards around the Conau!- -/which " would place the European bhops and stores at their mercy. It needed all of the courage and resource of Lieutenant De Tyssiers, who with thirty men, was sent ashore from the French cruiser Galilee to save the situation. The Arabs became so bold and determined that they succeeded in occupying a deserted French hotel, a high stone building inside the British Consulate line and also close to the Spanish Con- < iulate, from which they poured a furious rifle fire. Smaller houses ooar both Consulates were similarly occupied. It was then that Lieutenant De Tyssiers decided upon a sortie. His small but brave band returned from the sortie with dripping bayonets, having taken the Arabs completely by surprise, i Soon afterward another ofllcer from the *Dn Chayla arrived with a machine gun, vHilch t. was placed in .positlon .upon the roof and did effective execution. Even . then the \Arabs^ continued thoir attacks undeterred, and It"was only upon the arrival of additional warships that the fighting ended. One correspondent thus describes what followed: "By evening the town was clear of Arabs except those in hiding, who were unable to escape. Then began a second series of pillages. The Spaniards came first, each man guarding * his own shop and robbing his neighbor's. Then the Jews crept timidly from their hiding places and began to prowl about, looting whatever they "? % could. When the Foreign Legion was distributed through the tdwn?to preserve order, then came the final and most thorough pillage of all." The same correspondent says that not even San Francisco after fche earthquake gave such an impression of horror, and a French officer who was present at Martinque during the eruption of Mont Pelee said..that Casablanca was infinitely more awful. The# Arabs seemed to have been equally possessed of the lust and plunder frenzy and of wanton desire 'for the destruction of property.
