* Scene: A West End picture gallery.
Gerald Markham, a young man
of thirty, Is walking about in an aimless
way, engaged in the bewildering
occupation of trying to forget. On
the previous evening he had made a
proposal of marriage to Dorothy
Wargrave, and had been politely rejected.
As he turns from one of the pictures,
he finds himself face to face
with Dorothy and her aunt, Mrs. Arluthnot.
He is about to pass them
with an elaborate bow, when Mrs.
Arbuthnot, who knows nothing of his
rejection, stops him.
Mrs. Arbuthnot: O Mr. Markham,
I'm so glad we met you. There's Mrs.
Waring in the next room, and I do
so want a moment's chat with her.

round while I'm gone? Thanks, so
much. (Bustles away, beaming with
smiles.)
; Gerald (after contemplating his
boots for some seconds): Very depressing
weather for this time of the
year, Miss War grave?
Dorothy: Do you think so? Why,
the sun was shining as we came in.
Gerald: Was it, indeed? I didn't
notice tt You must be sorry you
came in, now.
Dorothy: O not at all. I enjoy
pictures. Will you show me some of
the best?

This (as they stop before a large
canvas) is quite a masterpiece. It's

the chains of tired souls weary of
the world. 1 think it's the most satisfying

Dorothy: It's rather depressing,
isn't it?
Gerald: Eo you find it so? 0 I am
sorry.
Dorothy: Here's a charming thing.
It seems all sunshine and brightness.
Do you know what it is? Number
19.
Gerald irererring to tne catalogue):
Yes, I thought ao. It's a
maypole dance of the fifteenth century.
If you l6ok at it you will see
that the coloring is very convention-al.
The laughter of the dancers

that their merriment is forced and
feollow. Now here is a really fine
piece of work, "The Death of Ophelia."
Dorothy: 0, and I suppose that's
Hamlet bending over her?
Gerald: Yes. You will notice what
a beautiiully peaceful expression the
artist has given her, as if death had
brought her happiness at last. The
suggestion of tears upon Hamlet's
eyelashes is quite masterly; and the
grief of that woman in the background

Gerald: Not on my account, please.
I am sorry if I seemed to be forcing
an unwelcome opinion upon you.
Dorothy: O, I hope I've done nothing
to suggest that your opinion is
unwelcome, Mr. Markham. I am
sure there is a great deal in what you
say, only

claimed for the picture.
Gerald (softening his voice a little):
Yes, they look very happy.
They have reason to be. They are?
betrothed.
Dorothy (speaking hurriedly)
What's this one, number 31? It is an
impressionist picture, I should think.
Gerald (referring to catalogue):
O yes. It's called the "Garden of
Death." Some girl, crossed in love,
filled her room full of flowers, and
then laid down and died from the
poisoned atmosphere. Rather dismal
sort of subject, isn't it?
Dorothy (shuddering): Horrid.
Let's get away from it. (Takes his
arm with an apparently unconscious
movement.)
Gerald: That's funny, isn't it?
Number 53, "The Christraess Hamper."
Somebody's sent the old boy
a hamper, and he's found nothing in
it but a heap of bricks and straw.
Do look at the comical way he's holding
the empty basket up and peering
inside it.
Dorothy (laughing): It's awfully
Clever, isn't it? 1 must bring auntie

fond of anything that's really funny.

Dorothy: She's a very pretty girl,
too.
Gerald: O, I don't know. I've met
at least one who is far prettier. Besides,
a girl never looks so pretty as
when she is wearing her bridal dress.
Dorothy (a little embarrassed):
That's a striking picture?the knight
in armor and the lady and the soldiers;
what is it?
Gerald: O, that's Jackson's celebrated
picture, "Victory." It's a
knight who has come back from the
war and is returning to his lady the
scarf she tied on his arm as a talisman.
It's a great painting. Such a
fine air of animation and rejoicing
about it. See how glad she looks
at meeting him again, and how
Mrs. Arbuthnot (hurrying up): My
dear Dorothy, I've been looking for
you everywhere. I began to be afraid
I had lost you.

showing me the pictures and explaining

interested.
Gerald: Not more so than I, I am
sure, Mrs. Arbuthnot.
Mrs. Arbuthnot: Well, we must be

evening, Mr. Markham? We are
dining alone, and should be delighted
to see you. Dorothy is staying with

TENDRILS.
Moving Parts Which Arc the - orains
of Plant Life."
There are two classes of plants
which are incited by man's presence
to describe certain definite movements.
One class, the sensitive
plants, retract their leaflets as we approach
them as if they resented any
attempt at closer intimacy, while the
other class, comprising all those vines
which develop climbing organs called
tendrils, will reach out toward us if
we place our hands in contact with
them, and will even use a finger as
support to climb upoh. We know
that these tendrils will wind just as
readily about a twig or a grass stem,
but as one feels these sensitive
strands multiply their encircling coils
about one's fingers there almost
seems to be established between us
and the vegetable world a more intimate
relationship than has ever existed
before.
Tendrils are indeed capable of exhibiting
faculties and going through
evolutions more wonderful perhaps
than many of us realize. It is only
after we have seen them at work,
testing with their sensitive tips the
objects they come in contact with,
apparently considering their suitability
as a support and then accepting or
rejecting them, as the case may be?
it is only then that we realize how
justly they have been called the
"brains of plant life."
The thoroughness with which these
wandering tips explore their surroundings
is illustrated by an instance
I observed in a grapevine tendril.
A cherry branch, whose leaves
had been variously punctured and
scalloped by insects, hung near the
tendril, and a particular leaf had
just one small hole in its blade, not
over three-sixteenths of an inch in
diameter. So careful had been the
exploration of the leaf's surface that
this one small hole had been discovered
by the tendril, which had thrust
itself nearly three inches through
the opening.?Harper's Magazine.
A "Wonderful Bit of Paper.
According to the Philadelphia Record.
William Bradey, a veteran of the
Civil War and a devoted son of Ireland,
who lives in Germantown, told
a good joke on himself at the last
campfire held by the comrades of
Ellis Post, 6, G. A. R. It appears
that Bradey was out of sorts a few
days ago, and his wife sent for the
family physician, who wrote a pre-'
scription rfter examining him. Handing
the prescription to Mrs. 3radey,
the doctor, upon departing said:
"Just let your husband take that
and you'll find he will be all right in
a short time." Next day the doctor
called again, when Mrs. Bradey
opened the door to him, her face
beaming with smiles. "Sure, that
was a wonderful wee bit of paper
you left yesterday," she exclaimed.
"William is better to-day." "I'm glad
to hear that," said the much pleased
medical man. "Not but what 1
hadn't a big job to get him to swallow
it," went on the wife, "but, sure.
I just wrapped up the wee bit of
paper quite small and put it in a
spoonful of jam, and William swallowed
it unbeknownst, and by night
he was entirely better."
Good Snail Year, Good Sheep Year.
"Most people would be horrified
to learn that the finest mutton in
the world comes from sheep fattened
on snails," pays a large breeder of
Southdown sheep; "nevertheless it
13 a ract. 111 seasons wnen snaus are
plentiful the mutton from our sheep
has a delicious flavor which it never
acquires from the most scientific form
of feeding. On the continent a diet
of snails is a regular cure for consumption
and is said to fatten and
nourish the body in a wonderful way.
"There is a popular superstition,"
he adds, ' that the unique and delicate
flavor of Southdown mutton is
due largely to the quantity of wild
thyme which they crop with the
grass in their pastures. But personally
I give the snails the greater
part of the credit for the soft, plump
flesh and the sweetness of flavor in
our celebrated sheep. So much in
their the case that the saying, "Good
snail year, good sheep year," has
become almost a proverb among shepherds
and breeders."?London Mail.

HAYWOOD HOT GUILTY I
OF STEPMBEB6 MM,
Judge's instructions and Disbelief
in Orchard Caused Verdict
JURY WAS OUT 21 HOURS
Orchard Says He is Satisfied to Meet
the Punishment For His Crimes
?To Call Pettibone Xext?Trial
in October.
Boise, Idaho.?Into the bright sualight
of a beautiful Sunday morning
William D. Haywood, secretary and
treasurer of the Western Federation
of Miners, walked a free man,. ac- *
quitted of the murder of former Gov
ernor Frank Steunenberg.
Probability of acquittal was freely
predicted after Judge Fremont
Wood read his charge, which was regarded
as strongly favoring the defense
in its interpretation of the laws
of conspiracy, circumstantial evidence
and the corroboration of a confessed
accomplice. It was also freely predicted
that in the event of Haywood's
acquittal the State would abandon
the prosecution of his associates,
Charles H. Moyer, president of the
federation, and George A. Pettibone,
of Denver. Statements from counsel
and from Governor Gooding, issued,
dispel this view of the situation.
Governor Gooding said:
"The verdict is a great surprise
to me, and I believe to all citizens of
Idaho ^ho have heard or read the
evidence in the case. I have done
my duty. I have no regret as to any
action I have taken, and my conscience
is clear. As long as God
gives me strength I shall continue my
efforts for government by law and '
for organized society.
"The State will continue a vigor- .
ous prosecution of Moyeraad Pettibone
and Adams and of Simpkins ?
when apprehended. There will be ?
neither hesitation nor retreat."
Not the leagt interesting of the
comments made upon the verdict was ?
that of Harry Orchard, the confessed ?
murderer of Steunenberg and the *
witness on whom the State chiefly ?
relied to prove its charge of a conspiracy
among certain members of
the Western Federation of Miners, f
When to'id at the State Penitentiary 11
that Haywood had been acquitted, u
Orchard said:
"Well, I have done my duty. I *
have told the truth. I could do no p
more. I am ready to take any punishment
that may be meted out to
me for my crime, and the sooner it'
comes the better." .
It was after being out for twenty- ?
one hours that the jury, which at ?
first had been divided eight to four
for acquittal, and then seemed dead- n
locked at ten to two, finally came to a
an agreement shortly after the first
faint streaks of the coming day ^
showed gray above the giant hills u
which wall Boise to the north, and *
east.
Things moved rapidly enough af- "
ter this, and when at last the princi- .
pal actors in the trial had been gath- D
2red into the courtroom at a few mo- 8
ments before 8 o'clock the white "
envelope handed by the foreman to .
the judge was torn open ami the ver- ?
diet read. ?
> Tears welled to the eyes of the man ?
who during the eighty days of hia v
trial showed only indifference. Judge P
Wood made no efTort to restrain his
attorneys as they surrounded him to ?
shake his hands and shout aloud 11
their congratulations.'
The court proceedings were over, ?
the prisoner was discharged an<J the |
jury dismissed in less than three min- j)
utes. J
The vindication came from the lips n
of twelve Idaho farmers, plain, blunt,
uncultured men, representatives of r
the sturdy stock that is the back- P
bone of this country.
Russell, former Justice of the fl
Peace, Presbyterian and Prohibition- n
ist, was the commanding force in the *
jury. He didn't believe Orchard.
When the first vote was taken It 0
stood eight for acquittal, three for ?
conviction and one not voting. The &
men who voted for conviction were a
Samuel D. Gilman, ranchman and 81
former member of the militia; Thomas
B. Gess, insurance and real estate ?
dealer, foreman of the jury, and h
George Powell, ranchman. A P.
Burns, who in his early years was d
a member ?f the Carpenters' Union, n
refused to vote. a
Darrow, with his sympathetic in- b
fluence on the human heart; reached
Russell. Russell argued the reason- "
able doubt construction of Judge 0
Wood's instructions, tie soon won
over Powell, Gilman and Burns. At lf
6.30 o'clock a. m., Gess, the fore- 91
man, boyhood companion of Attorney a
Hawley of the State, was won over,
and the verdict was reached. h
One remarkable incident is that 0
James A. Robertson, the oldest man f<
on the jury, the man with whom T
Steunenberg lived for three years, o
voted first and last for the acquittal ci
of Haywood. w

New York City.?The most sensaional
fire in the history of Coney
sland ate thirty-five acres out of the
eart of that resort in twice as many
linutes.
The flames licked up Steeplehase
Park and other property
rhich cannot be replaced for lesra
ban $750,000, and on which the
wners place a speculative value of
million and a half.
The fire started in a barrel of
weepings, mostly paper, gathered up
i the park and stored over night
nder the Cave of Winds.
Starting at 3.55 a. m., the fire
'as not entirely out until after 6
. m.
A fireman and two boys were so
eriously burned and Injured that
hey .are likely to die. Twenty-five
rdmen and patrolmen and "a' henred
hotel guests and residents sufer'ed
painfuL burns and cuts from
roken glass. There were scores of
arrow escapes from fire-trap hotels
nd daring rescues beyond count.
The fire started in George C. Tilaii

There is a grave suspicion that
oth were of incendiary origin posibly
started by one of many foreign
rorkmen recently discharged.
Since last Christmas Mr. Tilyou
as received no less than five Black
[and letters 'demanding large sums
f money and threatening his life and
be destruction of the amusement
lace if it was not forthcoming. The
ist of these letters was received Frlay
and resulted in extra guards beig

After devastating the park the fire

pavilions, three cafe3, 'Dip the

fty stands and small buildings.
Owing to the almost prohibitive
ates which prevail at Coney Island,
ractically no insurance was carried.
For a time it seemed that the
ames would sweep the entire amusalent
district, including Luna Pank
nd Dreamland. The direction of the
riving wind, the eitreme pressure
f salt water from a dozen mains of
le lately installed system, and the
ravery and persistence of firemen
nd citizen volunteers combined to
ive the remainder of the resort.
Everybody was working shoulder
j shoulder. Circassian girls were
elping snake-charmers, gypsy forme-tellers
and Greek peanut veners;
Armenians and Japanese with
egroes and Italians were pulling
nd shouting in as many languages,
ut all working for the same end. i

CHILDREN VICTIMS f
Over One Hundred Attacks in
Two Months in New York.

New York City.?Tho records at
Police Headquarters show that since
the murder of fifteen-year-old Amelia
Staffeldt at Elmhurst, L. I., on May
22, there have been 110 attacks upon
women and children in New York
. A wave of. this sort of crime seems 1
to be growing, and there are daily additions
to the list of victims.

the past twenty-four hours, one is of
especial pathos. Virginia Ida Barish,
seventeen years old, of 410 East Seventy-ninth
street, was attacked by
nine men at North Beach on Wedne*
day, and is now violently insane in
the Kings County Hospital. None of
her assailants has been found.
Another case is reported from Linoleumville,
S. I., where five-year-old
Annie Fowkowski wandered home
terribly injured. She named Joseph
Nocwyak as her assailant, anu he ie
locked up. ',
The effect of the steadily increasing
number of these attacks has boeo
to arouse a feeline of alarm in New
York homes. The children whp usually
play until late in*the evening on
the streets during hot'weather, : ar#
being called in earlier, and in fsw lo- '
calities are they left to play^at^any
time without guardians, thougnthe
housewives of the poor can ill
afford the time from their duties to * *??
watch ihem.
Police Commissioner Bingham ( . ;|jgj
said that during the epidemic of
this sort of crime it would be
well for the mothers of the city
to keep their children indoors
as much as possible, and to keep
watch over them more closely than
ever.
Every member of the police force -1
has been ordered to be particularly
on the alert, especially where young
girls and children congregate, and
where they can be reached by men of
suspicious appearance. The police
have been instructed to place under
arrest at once any man whom they
have the slightest cause to suspect.
In the 110 cases reported to the
police a large number of the assailants
have never been detected, and
o? those arrested most have escaped
with slight punishment.
CHILDREN STABBED BY RIPPER
Berlin Parents Terrorized ami German City
Intensely Excited.*
Berlin, Germany.?Unparalleled in
this country for brutality are the acta
of a -man who slashed three little
girls in this city, cutting open their .:>rj
stomachs with a sharp weapon and ' $9
then making his escape before an
alarm could. be given. The entire
police force of Berlin is hunting for
the man and the utmost excitement
has been aroused among the realdents.
Posters describing the fiend
have been placed on all the adyar(l^
ing pillars and a reward of JlOOfljhas
been offered for his capture.
The crimes of the man have struck
teuror in the hearts of all parents in
tins-city. The deeds caused almost
every mother in the city to keep her
little ones off the street and to watch
them at home. Hardly a child could
^e seen playing in the street after
^ews of his acts became known.
In a few hours the assassin epticad
three girls, the oldest only five
years old, into doorways of houses
and stabbed them several times in ,
the abdomen with a sharp instrument.
As a result one of the cbil- * . ' (?$$
dren is dead, another was fatally
wounded and the third dangerously
injured.

Asheville, N. C.?Indictments
were issued against the Southern
Railway ticket agents at Marion and
Old Fort far violating the passenger
rate law, and the agents were arrested
and placed in the custody of

courts and the Southern Railway r&
suiting from Governor Glenn's refusal
to agree to the proposal of Assistant
Attorney General Sanfcrd.
The indictments brought at Marion
were expected, as Judge Lyor
