CHAPTER
The Van Heemsklrks
It was May in New York one hun
dred and twenty one years ago and yet
the May A D 1886 the sarao clear
air and wind the same rarefied fresh
ness full of faint passing aromas
from the wet earth and the salt sea
and tho blossoming gardens
In the city the business of the day
was over but at the open doors of
many of the shops little groups of ap
prentices in leather aprons were talk
ing and on the broad steps of the
City Hall a number of grave looking
men were slowly separating after a
very satisfactory civic session They
were all noticeable men but Joris Van
Heemskirk specially so His bulk was
so great that it seemed as If he must
havo been built up It was too much
to expect that he had ever been a
baby He had a fair ruddy face and
large firm eyes and a mouth that
was at once strong- and sweet And
he was also very handsomely dressed
The long stiff skirts of his dark blue
coat were lined with satin his
breeches were of black velvet his ruf
fles edged with Flemish lace his
shoes clasped with silver buckles his
cocked hat made of the finest beaver
With his head a little forward and
his right arm across his back he
walked slowly up Wall street into
Broadway and then took a northwest
erly direction towards the river bank
His home was on the outskirts of the
city but not far away and his face
lightened as he approached it
Councillor Van Ileemskirks father
had built tho house and planted the
garden and he had the Dutch rever
ence for a good ancestry Often he sent
his thoughts backward to remember
how he walked by his fathers side or
leaned against his mothers chair as
they told him the tragic tales of the
old Bameveldt and the hapless De
Witts or how his young heart glowed
to their memories of the dear father
land and the proud march of the Ba
tavian republic
Good evening Mr Justice Good
evening neighbor and he stood a
minute with his hands on his garden
gate to bow to Justice Van Gaasbeeck
and to Peter Sluyter who with their
wives were going to spend an hour
or two at Christopher Laers garden
Men can bear all things but good
days said Peter Sluyter when they
had gone a dozen yards in silence
since Van Heemskirk has a seat in
the council room it is a long way to
his hat
Come now he was very civil
Sluyter He dows like a man not
used to make a low bow that is all
Well well with time every one
gets into his right place In the city
Hall I may yet put my chair beside
his Van Gaasbeeck
So say I Sluyter and for the pres
ent it is all well as it is
This little envious fret of his neigh
bor lost itself outside Joris Van Heeni
skirks home Within it all was love
and content Madam Van Heemskirk
was a little woman with clear cut
features and brown hair drawn back
ward under a cap of lace very stifly
starched Her tight fitting dress of
blue taffeta was open in front and
looped up behind in order to show an
elaborately quilted petticoat of light
blue camblet Her white wool stock
ings were clocked with blue her high
heeled shoes cut very low and clasped
with small silver buckles From her
trim cap to her trig shoes she was a
pleasant and comfortable picture of a
happy domestic woman smiling
peaceful and easy to live with
When the last duty of the day was
finished she let her bunch of keys
fall with a satisfactory all done
jingle that made her Joris look at
her with a smile Then he asked
Where is Joanna and the little one
And Bram should be home ere this
I am not uneasy Joris They
were to drink a dish of tea with
Madam Semple and Bram promised
to go for them And see they are
coming bat Bram is not with them
only the elder
Elder Alexander Semple was a great
man in his sphere He had a reputa
tion both for riches and godliness and
was scarcely more respected in the
market place than he was in the Mid
dle Kirk And there was an old tic
between the Semples and the Van
Heemskirks a tie going back to tho
aays when the Scotch Covenanters and
the Netherland Confessors clasncd
hands as brothers in their churches
under the cross Then one of the
Semples had fied for life from Scot
land to Holland and been sheltered
in the house of a Van Heemskirk and
from generation to generation the
friendship had been continued So
there was much real kindness and
very little ceremony between the fami
lies and the elder met his friend Joris
with a pleasant good evening and
sat down in front of the blazing logs
Joanna tied on her white apron and
at a word from her mother began to
take from the cupboards various Dutch
dainties and East Indian jars of fruits
and sweetmeats and a case of crystal
bottles and some fine lemons She
was a fair rosy girl with a kind
cheerful face a pleasant voice and a
smile that was at once innocent and
bright Her fine light hair was rolled
high and backward and no one could
have imagined a dress more suitable
to her than the trig dark bodice the
quilted skirt and the white apron she
wore
Her father and mother watched her
oeen long good friends
We hae been friends for four gen
erations and we may safely tie the
knot tighter now The land between
this place and my place on the river
side is your land Joris Give it to
Katherine and I will build the young
things a house and the furnishing
and plenishing well share between
us
There is more to a wedding than
house and land elder A young girl
should be wooed before she is mar-
ried You know how it is and Kath
erine the little one she thinks not of
such a thing as love and marriage
Wha kens what thoughts are under
cuny locks at seventeen Youll hae
noticed madam that Katherine has
come mair often than ordinar to Sam
ple House lately
That is so It was because of Col
Gordons wife who likes Katherine
She is teaching her a new stitch in
her crewel work
Hum m m Mistress Gordon
has likewise a nephew a vera hand
some lad I hae seen that he takes a
deal o interest in the crewel stitch
likewise And Neil has seen it too
for Neil has set his heart on Kather
ine and this afternoon there was a
look passed between the young men l
dinna like Well be haeing a chal
lenge and twa fools playine at
uer next
I am glad you spoke elder Thank
you Ill turn your words over in my
heart But Van
Heemskirk was un
der a certain constraint he was be
ginning to understand the situation
to see in what danger his darling
might be He was apparently calm
but an angry fire was gathering in his
eyes and stern lines settling about the
lower part of his face
My Lysbet is the finest lady in the
whole land Let her daughters walk
in her steps That is what I want
Now there is enough and also there
is seme one coming
It will be Neil and Bram and as
the words were spoken the young
men entered
Again you are late Bram and
the father looked curiously in his
sons face It was like looking back
upon his own youth for Bram Van
Heemskirk had all the physical traits
of his father his
great size his com
manding presence and winning ad
dress his large eyes his deep sonor
ous voice and slow speech
With the advent of Bram and Neil
the consultation ended The elder
grumbling at the chill and mist
wrapped himself in his plaid and
leaning on his sons arm cautiously
picked his way home by the light of a
lantern Van Heemskirk put aside his
pipe nodded gravely to his son and
went thoughtfully upstairs
In his own room he sat down on a
big oak chest and as ho Hirmtht vic
wrath slowly gathered Semple knew
that gay young English officers were
coming and going about his house
and he had not told him until he
feared they would interfere with his
own plans for keeping Neil near to
him He remembered that Semple
had spoken with touching emphasis of
his longing to keep his last son near
home but must he give up his darling
Katherine to further this plan
I like not it he muttered God
for the Dutchman made the Dutch
woman That is the right way but I
win not make angry myself for so

With a loving satisfaction anil Rlrlnr
Semple was quite sensible of Joan
nas presence and of what she was
doing
At this point Katherine Van Heems
kirk came into the room and the elder
slightly moved his chair and said
Come awa my bonnie lassie andTec
us hao a look at you And Katherine
laughingly pushed a stool towards the
lire and sat down between tho two
men on the hearthstone She was the
daintiest little Dutch maidon thnf
ever latched a shoe very diminutive
with a complexion like a sea shell
great blue eyes and such a quantity
of pale yellow hair that it made light
of its ribbon snood and rippled over
her brow and slender white neck in
bewildering curls
Long before supper was over
Madam Van Heemskirk had di cov
ered that this night Elder Semple had
a special reason for his call and when
the iaeal was finished and the girls
one to their room she was not astnn
ished to hear him say Joris let us
light another pipe I hae something
to speak anent Sit still guidewife
we shall want your word on the mat
ter
On what matter elder
Anent a marriage between my son
Neil and your daughter Katherine
The words fell with a sharp dis
tinctness not unkindly but as if they
were more than common words They
were followed by a marked silence a
silence which in no way disturbed
Semple He knew his friends well
and therefore he expected it
Joris at last said slowly For Kath
erine the marriage would be good and
Lysbet and I would like it However
wo will think a little about it there
is time and to spare One should not
run on a new road Snv whif v
think Lysbet
Neil is to my mind when the time
comes But yet the child knows not
perfectly her Heidelberg And there
is more she must learn to manage a
house of her own So in time I say
it would be a good thing We have
wnwiwwiiim imm
at all to the purpose That Is the
truth Always I have found it so
Then Lysbet having finished her
second locking up entered the room
Sho came in as one wearied and trou
bled and Bald with a sigh as sho un
tied h err apron
Joris the elders words havo made
trouble In my heart What did tho
man mean
Who can tell What a man says
we know but only God understands
what he means But I will say this
Lysbet and it is what I mean It
Semple has led my dauzhter into the
way of temptation then for all that
Is past and gono we shall be un
friends
Give yourself no kommer on that
matter Joris Hove not some of our
best maidens married into the Eng
lish set Thero Is no harm I think
in a girl taking a few steps up when
she puts on the weddinc rlne
Mean you that our little daughter
should marry some English good-for-nothing
Look then I would rather
see her white and cold in the dead
chamber I will have no Englishman
among the Van Heemskirks There
let us sleep To night I will speak no
more
But madam could not sleep She
was quite sensible that she had tacitly
encouraged Katherines visits to Sem
ple House even after she understood
that Capt Hyde and other fashion
able and notable persons were fre
quent visitors there Lysbet Van
Heemskirk saw no reason whv her
younger children should not move
with the current when it might set
them among the growing aristocracy
of the New World
She tried to recall Katherines de
meanor and words durinc th nnst
day and she could find no cause for
alarm in them She could not remem
ber anything at all which ought to
make her uneasy and what Lysbet
did not see or hear she cculd not
imagine
Yet the past ten hours had really
been full of danger to the young girl
Early in the afternoon some hours
before Joanna was ready to go Kath
erine was dressed for her visit to
Semple House It stood liir v
Heemskirks at the head of a garden
sloping to the river and there was a
good deal of pleasant rivalry about
tnese gardens both proprietors hav
ing impressed their own individuality
upon their pleasure grounds
The space between the two houses
was an enclosed meadow and this af
ternoon tho grass being warm and
dry and full of wild flowers Kather
ine followed the narrow footpath
through it and entered the Semple
garden by the small side gate Near
this gate was a stone dairy sunk be
low the level of the ground a deli
riously cool clean spot even in the
hottest weather Passing it she saw
that the door was open and Madam
Semple was busy among its large
snanow pewter cream dishes She
was beating some rich curd with eggs
and currants and spices and Kather
ine with a sympathetic smile asked
delightedly
Cheesecakes madam
Just cheesecakes dearie
Oh I am glad Let me fill some of
these pretty little patty pans
Ill do naething o the kind Kath
erine Youd bfi tho hnnnn
silk dress you hae put on Go to the
house and sit wi Mistress Gordon
She was asking for you no an hour
ago And Katherine my bonnie las
sie dinna gie a thought to one word
that black eyed nephew o hers may
say to you Hes here the day and
gane to morrow and the lasses that
heed him will get sair hearts to them
sels
The bright young face shadowed
and a sudden fear came into Madam
Semples heart as she watched the
girl turn thoughtfully and slowly
away into the house

COLORED INKS IN TATTOOING
English Expert Now Docs Work
in
Many Colors
In an article on the subject of tat
tooing in Pearsons the marvelous
results obtained by an English exnert
are thus described
Until comparatively recently onlv
two colors indigo blue or India ink
black and red were used in tattooing
but a Japanese increased the number
by discovering a permanent brown
and Sutherland Macdonald has now
added four more to the list so that he
works with no fewer than seven col
ors altogether The difficulty has been
to get a color that will hold any color
can be pricked into the human skin
nut Uiose made irom minerals will all
set up sooner or later a state of in
flammation of the skin and the color
will be forced out again leaving only
an ugly scar to mark the spot
But by careful experiments on his
own body experiments which have
been going on for years now he has
been able to produce a very beautiful
green a permanent ultramarine blue
a lavender and most difficult of all
a rich yellow all not only perfectly
harmless to the most delicate skin
but colors that will hold and by blend
ing some of these together he is
able to produce brilliant effects which
to the uninitiated would appear to be
altogether impossible
Tattooing in so many colors with
all their graduations of shading is a
lengthy process Mr Macdonald will
spend a matter of sixty or seventy
hours in completing a design to cover
a mans chest not at a stretch of
course but working two or threo
hours a day for twenty or thirty
days

WOEDS OF WARNING
SOME FALLACIES OF LOPSIDED
PROTECTIONISM POINTED OUT
Protection Is a Policy Designed for
the Benefit of the Country as a
Whole and Not for the Advantage of
Special Interests
The Boston- Herald of a recent date
contained an editorial on Raw Ma
terials In which the writer remarked
The reason why there Is an outspok
en desire for free raw materials is the
obviously logical one that when a duty
Is imposed on raw material which
greatly increases its price it greatly
burdens the processes of manufacture
from the very first and when under
such circumstances we attempt to
compete in manufactured products
with nations which do not have their
industries thus handicapped we are
placed at a terrible disadvantage
The outspoken desire to which the
Herald refers is only heard in New
England and it speedily becomes
hushed when the manufacturers of
that section are reminded as they
have been at times that the parts of
the country which produce raw mate
rials will not waive the protection on
their products and permit tho New
Englanders to retain the tariff on man
ufactured articles Once before the
West gave New England a sharp re
minder on this point and it will be
apt to repeat its warning if the Pro
tectionists of that section do not
thoroughly learn the lesson that the
policy is designed for the benefit of
the whole country and not alone for
the New England states
But it is not true that the demand
for free raw materials is inspired by
the desire spoken of by the Herald
Eugene N Foss a candidate for Con
gress in a Massachusetts district gave
the real reason a few days ago in a
speech made by him at Jamaica Plain
when he said
I believe that unless there is a re
adjustment of the tariff on the lines of
freer raw material the next ten years
will see our great shoe manufacturing
establishments our cotton and woolen
mills our iron and steel plants march
out of New England to the West
where they will get their wool and
hides at their door to the South
where they will piclc the cotton from
the fields to Pennsylvania and Ohio
where they will dig the iron and coal
from the mountain side and transform
them on the spot to the manufactured
article
Here we have the true motive Fear
that the manufacturers of the West
may enjoy an advantage of those of
New England is at the bottom of the
movement and not any well grounded
belief that free raw materials would
mean cheaper products for the Ameri
can consumer But does Mr Foss
imagine for a single moment that the
West having plain notice served upon
it that the protection for its peculiar
products will be struck at will not
strike at Massachusetts in return He
must be afflicted with brain softening
if he thinks wool can be attacked anJ
woolen manufactures go unscathed
But it is not to call attention to the
lopsided ideas of the alleged Massa
chusetts protectionists that Mr Foss
remarks are quoted They are simply
cited to emphasize an assertion which
the Chronicle has frequently made
that the symmetrical application of
the protective dostrine is sure to
prove economical in the long run Mr
Foss unconsciously points out the
method when he says that the effect
will be to build up great manufactur
ing industries in the West That is
what it all tends to and very proper-
The center of population has moved
westward steadily and the center of
the manufacturing industry is
ing it closely This accomplishes the
highly desirable result of eliminating
waste It must be obvious if the West
as Mr Foss implies has iron ore and
wool and accessible supplies of raw
cotton and works them up in mills
near the fields of production an un
necessary double carriage will be
avoided and that means an immense
saving to the vast body of consumers
living in the central sections of our
Union
And that is the professed purpose of
protection Its object is to bring the
workshop and consumer close together
whenever it can be done profitably
That it can be in tho central section of
the Union Mr Foss makes quite clear
when he dwells on the fact that the
West has cheap raw materials plenty
cf fuel and foodstuffs and a big popu
lation capable of supplying skillful
workers in abundance and able to con
sume a vast quantity of what they
produce San Francisco Chronicle
TARIFF COMMISSION
Would It Prove More a Benefit Than
a Nuisance to Business Interests
While greatly admiring the skill
and energy with which the New York
commercial is conducting its tariff
commission propaganda among the
business men of the country we
could wish that its zeal might be
expended In a better cause not to say
a cause that is more likely to prevail
There is we feel sure small proba
bility that the tariff is going to be
divorced from politics either through
the creation of a bi partisan board a
non partisan board or any other sort
of board The tariff will stay in poli
tics as long as its enemies stav in
politics and that promises to be a
long while The Commercial how
ever is very much in earnest in its
crusade and to this end is circulat
ing blank petitions for the signatures
cf business men The petition reads
ps follows
A Petition for a Permanent Tariff
Commission
To the President of the United
States and Members of tho Fifty
Seventh Cousress
We tho undersigned citizens
taxpayers anil business mon of tho
United States believe thnt any whole
sale revision wt our tariff schedules
is inadvisable as such action is suro
to seriously disturb business condi
tions and cripple business
many en
terprises But realizing as wo do
that it is only a question of tlmo when
some changes must be mado in these
schedules to provide for such
changes wo respectfully and most
earnestly petition you to enact with
out unnecessary delay such legisla
tion as may be necessary for a bi
partisan and permanent tariff com
mission whose duty It will bo to in
telligently assist congress to make
such changes In our tariff and reci
procity laws from time to time as
may be found necessary
Busy men are apt to sign and re
turn this petition without stopping to
think that it contemplates the crea
tion of something which we already
have and do not need Tho country is
now provided with a tariff commission
that is both permanent and
san As a matter of fact we have
two tariff commissions of this bi
partisan character First the House
Committee on Ways and Means and
the Senate Committee on Finance
acting separately at first and after
ward concurrently and having full
charge of all tariff matters Second
and auxiliary to this we have the
Board of United States General Ap
praisers a permanent body of bi
partisan supposed tariff experts
composed of Ave Republicans and
iour Democrats that is to say five
protectionists and four free traders
holding office for life or during good
lehavior and subject to removal only
for cause and by death
The two committees of Congress
are made up for the most part of men
who have made the tariff a special
study and hence are familiar with its
relations to the industries and the
trade of the country taken as a whole
and also taken in all Its parts They
are men who know for example that
a protective tariff must be uniform
and fair in its operations that you
must not deprive one interest of pro
tection for the benefit of another in
terest which retains its protection
Along these and parallel lines these
men have framed all our tariff laws
and just as the committees have had
protection or free trade majorities so
have they framed protective or free
trade tariffs In short a permanent
bi partisan commission taking its
lowers and its instructions direct
from the people and from no other
source
Not a bad sort of tariff commission
one would think One of its very best
features is to be noted in the fact
that this permanent bi partisan tariff
commission lets the tariff alone for
years together and never touches it
at all save when ordered so to do by
the votes of the people In this way
business and Industry and trade go
aiong with certainty and safety Thev
know where they are at all the time
so far as the tariff is concerned
Should we improve on this if we had
an additional body of bi partisan irre
sponsibles who as Andrew Carnegie
expresses it would have to bo doing
something with the tariff all the
time
As to the second bi partisan tariff
the United States Board of General
Appraisers these functionaries some
cf them protectionists and some free
traders afford a splendid example of
the idea of bi partisan irresponsibility
as worked out in tariff matters They
often reverse themselves and are
still oftener reversed by the courts
You never know where to find them
Their rulings have been so varied so
confusing in many cases so ridicu
lous so essentially and so character
istically bi partisan that Concress
has for some time past had under
serious consideration the passage of
a bill legislating them out of office
Originally constituted to serve as an
intervening quasi judicial body which

Christianity and to archiaeologists aro

of Rome Of tho forty five cemeteries
known to havo existed only five have

principal catacombs those on the An-
pia Nomentana Salarla and Ardea
tina although open aro not yet thor
oughly explored Tho soil being of vol
canic origin is too soft to bo utilized
for building purposes but it is of suf
ficient consistency to enable excava
tions to bo prosecuted without the aid
of supports Until the ninth century
the catacombs were places of pilgrim
age but from then until the nine
teenth they woie neglected The en
trances became blocked and almost
all the sites were lost sight of It is
computed that rully 0000000 of bodies

more than double the number that aro

The most ancient of all known cata
combs are those of the Theban kings
which are over 4000 years old
150000 Screws to the Pound
Tho minuteness of some of the
screws made in a watch factory may
be measured by the statement that It
takes nearly 150000 of a certain kind
to weigh a pound Under the micro

pivot of the balance wheel is only

commission which we already have larger than the pivot to permit suffl
should lighten the labors of the regu
lar courts this bi partisan tariff
has so muddled and messed
matters as to add materially to busi
ness uncertainties and the labors of
the regular courts
We would suggest that business
men before signing the New York
Commercials petition should ask
tbemselves
What is to be gained by the crea
tion of third bi
a partisan tariff com
mission that shall have no final juris
diction or authority and whose func
tions shall consist in part in volun
teering to Congress advice which
Congress does not need and will not
heed together with the continual
stirring up of things which had hot
ter be left alone until Congress gets
ready to stir them up
Would not the proposed perma
rent bi partisan tariff commission be
more likely to prove itself a nuisance
than a benefit
What Do They Want
The tariff reformers should at once
designate what duties should be low
ered and how much If congress is
expected to agree within thirty davs
after convening these tariff reformer
editors should be able to agree within
a number of days If the reform prs
want to hit high prices they will have
to hit farm produce The understand
ing is that if the prices of everything
had been low there would have been
no tariff discussion Therefore the
reformers must want lower prices If
this be true they should tell us what
prices should come down Prices are
always high in good times and low In
poverty stricken times Do they want
