The Annual Blejela RtM.
Chicago, June 1. The great annual
Decoration day cycling event, known
locally as the Pullman road race, a run
jfsome twelve miles from Chicago
venue and Van Buren street to the
town of Pullman was contested yester
lay by some hundred ' bike" riders, in
cluding men whose fame is national.
I he race was a handicap, the starters
being placed according to their known
penurmances with a view of giving
everybody a fair chance to win lhe race.
The day and the weather were perfect
nd it was a merry spin. The winner
of the race was M. Nelson of the Col
umbia club, who had six minutes hand
icap and covered the distance, in lifty-
8ve and one half minutes. He is the
actual winner of the race, but the chief
interest to cyclists centers in the time
winner, that is, the man who covered
the distance in the shortest time, re
jardless of the handicap, and to deter
mine who this man is requires much
Uguring by the judges.
The judges Anally awarded the prizes
as follows: First, M. Nezel, Columbia
wheelmen; time, 5i;17. Second, M. Nel
ion, also the winner of the race, Col
umbia wheelmen, 55:44. Third, Charles
T. Kniseley, Illinois Cycling club. 50:11

Douot Seem AUrmed.
Leavenworth, Kas., June 1. The
coal miners of this city do not seem m
the least disturbed over the strike in
other parts of the state. President
Wallers, of the mine workers' union,
arrived here last night and today is
confering with men employed in the
several mines here. I', was expected
that he would order the Leavenworth
men out yesterday, but no such action
was taken. He now states that the
tneu will quit work Thursday. The
mine operators do not seem in the least
alarmed, as the ratio of union to non
union men is one to five.
Perforated His Lung.
Milan, Tenn., June 1. The little
Tillage of Edith was the seem) of a sen
sational occurrance yesterday morn
ing. Miss Maggie Adair married in
December and was a widow in March,
her husband loosing his life in a run
away accident. Harvey Daze, a local
tough, since attemp'.ed to pay the
widow attentions, but was repulsed.
He defamed her character and perse
cuted her on all occassions. At a sic g
ing class Friday night Daze attempted
to see the lady home, was refused,
used -insulting language and had his
jaws publicly slapped.. Wednesday
morning at a picnic the rutlian again
insulted the lady. She was among
i tiers firing at a target. WLei ap
proached she turned the gun upon
Daze and shot him through the
shoulder. Quickly firing again, she
sent bullets into Daze's breast, one
piercing his right lung, causing pro
bably a fatal wound. The woman gave
bond for her appearance.
Six FenoDi Killed In a Wreck.
Tyrone, Pa., June 1. The train
carrying the circus of Walter L. Main

Chicago, June 2.-Orest crowds
fathered in the United States court of
appeals to bear the argument on the
application by the United States for
an injunction restraining the man
agemeut of the World's fair from open-
in. the gates Sund..y. Judges Woods,
Je.kins and Urosscupsat on the bench.
Chief Justice Fulkr was prevented by
the illness of his daughter from sitting.
Tb firm of Wanamaker & Brown,
through their attorney, sought to in
tervene in the suit, bet were ruled out.
The arguments were continued until
laU. in the afternoo.i. Attorney Mil
christ, for the gov. .-nrnent, read the
bill, which was a leii.tiiy one, and its
provisions were discussed pro and eon.
Attoney Hand opened the argument
after this. He maintained that the
exposition, in accepting the appropria
tion with the Sunday closing clause,
had entered into a contract of which
Sunday opening was a direct violation.
Circuit Judge Je ikins asked if the
government had iu remedy at law, to
which the attorn. replied that it
might sue for the money, but stood a
small chance of receiving the souvenir
coins, as they have been distributed.
Judge Jenkins again asked if the law
was not adequate enough to protect
the government Ho insisted that the
money was in the na are of a gift and
that authorities agre- that where do
nations are made tht remedy is in equi
ty.
Attorney St. Clair made a long
speech in behalf of the exposition,
bristling " with technicalities: He
claimed the government could not
bring suit for a specific performance,
because it has remedy at law.
The arguments will be resumed to
morrow. Killed With an Ax.

Jimefl Gilbert Released From Prlgoo.
London, June 2. James Gilbert, the
dynamiter, has been released from
Portland prison. He was sentenced in
1883 to penal servitude for life for hav
ing caused dynamite explosions at the
tower and houses of parliment. The
reason for his release is said to be the
breaking down of his health. Priests
and a nurse accompanied Gilbert to
London, where he was taken to a
hospital in which a room had been en
gaged for him by the Irish amnesty as
sociation. Gilbert's appearance cor-
roborates the recent reports of his

LADY MAJENDIE
CHAPTER XIV. Continued.
Tho door opened and Dita tounded In,
followed by her litllo dog. On seeing
the stranger she stopped, and assumed a
demure pace. It would be difficult to
imaglno a prettier sight than this child,
with her great rare dark eyes and tho
floating cloud ot golden hair, which
mado her like a fairy child.
Mr. Norton held out his hand, and she
went u') to lit iu with a natural grace all
her own.
"Your little Kir!, Mrs. Lovel?'' he said,
inquiringly. -
"Yes, our little daughter," answered
Nannie, stroking down tho wild hair
lovlnitly.
Mr. Norton felt surprised that any
thing so refined and -Jtalry-liltc should
have been born of humble parents: but
he said no tnoro, and tho rest of tho
party returning, they took their leave.
They were driving througa tho woods
when Miss Lee Aston cried out
"Oh, look, mamma, there is an odd
figure!"
Against a, tall shadowy birch-tree
stood Jaques with his violin In his hand
waiting till tho carriage should have
passed, betoro ho resumed tho music his
soul loved. Jaques' largo hands and
fcot, his uncouth face, which looked
rough-hewn and not finished off, caused
an irresistiblo laugh, llo hoard, and even
in his gentle soul aroso a feeling of bit
terness; but ho comforted himself by tho
wildest and most fantastic maneuver on
his pet violin.
Ono day Dita camo running into her
mother's room with her face full ot tho
excitement of news.
"Mammio, there's a 'ittle boy fishing
may I speak to him? oh, inammie,
may I?"
Mrs. Lovel looked at her flushed,
eager littlo face, and seeing how much
it would delight her, consented; tho boy
could bo no other than Edward Norton.
Jaques was away In London transacting
business for Andrew and Dita was with
out playmates. Away she danced with
Fluff at her heels, far outstripping tho
sober pace of her maid.
The boy sitting on tho edeo of
the stream in the wood looked up
at her with a furious frown as she
danced up to him; she was so taken back
thather poor little face fell pitously; ho
saw it, Mr he turned round and said--"Never
mind, you've frightened him
away, and lie won't come bacK; what do
you want"
But Dita was quite subdued, she only
crept a little nearer and hung her head.
"Well, out with it, little 'un."
Dita's courage came back as fast a it
was gone, and she sat down by him, and
let a piece of string she held In her hand
go into the water.
"I fish," she said.
"You are a funny littlo thing," said
the boy, who was about twelve years
old, and very handsome. "What is your
name?"
"Dita," she said. "I caught a fish,"
and she drew out a dead leaf.
"Would you like to see my lish," said
tho boy; and opening his basket he
showed to her wondering eyes the glit
tering silvery back of a pretty trout;
bat alas! the sight proved too exciting
for the 'inquisitive nature of Fluff; he
darted forward, and would have thrust
his nose into the basket, when a sharp
push from thn boy thrust him back.
Fluff was a clumsy spoilt pet; he rolled
over, gave a little squeaK, and subsided
into the trout-steam,
"Oh, Fluff!" shrieked Delta.
"Bo quiet," said the boy; "ho will
swim all right," and ho stood for a mo
ment watching; then be saw to his con
sternation that Fluff's superabundant
coat was pulling him down, that the
hair covered his bead-like eyes, and that
ho was' fighting with his paws above his
bead instead of below him. He stretched
out a branch, but Fluff took no notice.
Dita Jtood motionless with her little
bandsVlaspcd together In despair. There
was no timo to lose, and the boy jumped
tntfe the water, and waded - after tho
poor pet, catching hi in just In time to
save his life.
lie carried him out, and Dita received
Flulf wringing wet as he was into her
lap and covered him with kissos and
tears. '
. "You must run home," said the boy,
standing dripping beside her; "and
change your things, or you will catch
cold " ... -
"Come homo too," said Dita, rising
and pulling his hand; but the boy drew
away rougbly.and said with bitterness
"Not I it Is your homo now, not
mine. "
"Shall you be here to-morrow, boy?"
said Dita,
"Yes, I will come and see whether you
havo caughtcold."
Dita held up bar face to be Kissed, and
then trotted away with Fluff In her
arms, meeting her terrified maid on her
war "
J ust as they reached tho door, Mr.
Level came out and met them. His con
sternation was groat on seeing the
dripping condition ot the child; her
frock, everything In a deplorable condi
tion, and be severely scolded tho mall
for losing sight of her charge, while Dita
Jlew awar to tell her story to "mammio "
The little adventure - bore Important
Dita must no longer run wild:
hof education must bogln. For one inoro
hnMiv unshackled month thn child
wasf
part of the. day with Edward Norton, who
Initiated her tuto all sorts of enchaminf;
use merits, taught her to climb irees
and to wado in tho water, to know the
names of tho trees and flowers, to fist
tor hours with a crooked pin, to build
moss-houses, etc. The country-bred boy
found the greatest amusement in teach
ing this sweet little Cockney all the com
monest knowledge of country life. Then
the holidays camo to an end, and Ed
ward went oil to his work, and Dita was
caught up like a wild colt from the grass
to be tamed and broken-in to harness.
A governess arrived a parcel of lesson
books, 9. piano and some globes; and ono
snug littio room with windows opening
into tho cloister was turned into a school
room. The old life in Edgar street, Soho, had
completely passed away so completely
that no one but the Levels and Jaques
knew that Dita was not their child. This
was Andrew's strong wish, and Nannie
was not experienced enough to seo that
it might lead to embarrassment In the
future. When Dita was about twelve
years old, she told her the outline cf her
parents' history, suppressing their
names; and she was glad to have dono
so, as at that ago the revelation was
nothing compared to what it might havo
been in the future. It was curious to
see tho hereditary peculiarities develop
ing themselves in the girl's character;
the enthusiasm and strong powers of
loving and' disliking ot her mother's
race the chivalrous loyalty from her
father. There was danger that she
might become too romantic, too exalted,
but her faithful Jaques proved tho best
educator she could have. Ho alrectcd her
enthusiasm aright; ho fed her imagina
tion with truth; at once encouraging
and restraining it; hours together she
spent with him reading tho books ho
chose for her. In vain tho conventional
governoss appealed to Mrs. Lovel against
this; she would not listen. She saw that
there was a necessary craving In Dita's
existance for tho great and chivalrous
and tcautiful things, and the wonderful
tact and sympathy with which nature
had endowed thn uncouth Jaques taught
this also to him; this want must bo fed,
or Dita would look round her for what
sho wanted, and in her nearest and dear
est would learn'and mark its -absence.
Her character developed slowly; she
was generous and unselfish, full of
sweetness and high religious tone;., and
though the time came (and Jaques
alono knew that It must come) when sho
awoke to the fact that tho parents whom
she loved so vary dearly were not such
as she was, never by word or gesture,
never even by admitting it to herself,
did she betray it. Sho loved them per
haps all the more that tho feeling roused
a feeling of protection of them from
tho whole world.
Dita grew and shot up; her long golden
hair was woven into plaits, and she woro
a pinafore. Each time that Edward
Norton came homo from school, hp saw
less or her, and pronounced her quite
spoilt, and no fun; finally he never saw
her at all, and she passed on through
the last stages of her school-room life.
A still greater change had come over
hor gentle mother. As year passed after
year it took away a littlo more life, a lit
tlo more energy. Sho was fading, very,
very slowly imperceptibly to all but
Jaques, who through life had been hor
confident, and who loved herdcarly. He
saw tho refinement of ill-health stealing
over her; he did not mistake the trans
parency of her hands for tho delicacy
produced by the life of a lino lady; and
that she was always lying on the sofa
more and more, told its own tale to him.
Andrew was either too absorbed or would
not understand. Nannie was fading
early vhile still in tho prime of life; sho
was not clever, sh was not strong, and
tho transplanting had wounded the ten
der littlo libers, without, which tho life
of tho strongest plant grows taint.
Jaques lived with his mother in a
pretty cottage just behind tho garden;
they lived humbly but very happily. Un
der his care tho Salford library was be
coming a rare and valuable ono, and it
flattered Andrew's vanity so much that
learned men should write to him and ask
for the favor of seeing his books, that in
this one particular he permitted himself
extravagance, and Jaques reveled in tho
works his carte blanche enabled him to
procure.

"She was a pretty child," answered Sir

'Ahem a I suppose it would not

"What? I don't uuderstand."
Those sort of parents what of fam

when everything else is so desirable."
'Do you wish lor the young lady, or
her money?" said Norton, coldly.
"Both," said the other. '1 don't know
exactly that I should havo chqseu a
daughter of Andrew Lovel as a wife but
for the money; but, by Jove! 1 never
would marry money unless I cared very
much for the possessor."
Doant tboa marry tot uianii.v, but gi vban

said Norton, blowing a cloud of blue
smoke into the air. "Well, you are
wiser than I am; the fact of a young lady
being possessed of a large fortune makes
1118 fight shy of her acquaintance. I
have seen enough of that," he added.
bitterly.
Edward Norton was very pruud, and
it had reached his ears that people
coupled his uauio with tho heiress and
planned the return of the old place to
the rightful family through this mar
riage. Even his mother had once im
prudently given a very slight niut to
that effect, which bad been taken with
the rapid swdrve of a shying thorouh
hred. lie was far from pleaded at hear

"I have tho same road before inc."
said Jack, kicking a pebble out of his

"Hut you seem Inclined to take a short
cut. Jack."
"It saves a long, dry, dusty grind with
ono leap.
"Well, I wish you good luck. Shall
we go In? It must ho live o'clock, and
1 must take off my boots before joining
tho ladies." "
Edward Norton threw away his cigar
and went up stairs. His handsome dark
face was overcast and gloomy as be
pulled off his boots and threw them
viciously across the room. It was un
bearable that tho very first thing that
happened on returning to his own coun
try, should bo the overthrow of his plans
for carefully avoiding any intercourse
with the inhabitants of his old homo.
Ho imagined to himself that the object
of Jack Leo Astnu's admiration must be
a blooming, rosv girl, stout and fair
haired, with all the want of refinement
to be expected from one of Andrew's race.
It was some years since they had met.
Tho later Eton holidays, and all Oxford
vacations, had been spent by Sir Edward
with his uncle, Mr. Norton, and abroad
with his mother. Lady Norton had en
couraged him to bo very much witli his
uncle; she feared lest the haughty and
somewhat imperious spirit of her son
would be marred for want ot a fathor's
authority. Iu sonio ways Mr. Norton
was the best guardian he could have, but
by no moans in all. He was a cold man,
just and upright, and gained ills
nephew's strong esteem, but he
had almost as strong a share of
tho hereditary lamily pride as
Sir Edward bimsalf, and Involun
tarily encouraged it in tho toy. No one
guessed how bitterly Edward regretted
Salford. Liko most Imaginative people,
ho had a passionate love for home. Lady
Norton, a kind-hearted but rather weak
woman, found herself unable to cope
with her son's faults, so she contented
herself with drawing out and strength
ening this merits, and consoled herself
with tho thought that these faults were
those of a generous-minded but untamed
nature, and that rough contact with the
world would tone them down. Her one
Injudicious hint about Dita Lovel had
rankled In her mind; ho looked upon his
mother's friendship for Mrs. Lovel as an
infatuation; and so sensitive was he on
the subject of the Lovel's that he was
Inclined to think that all were combined
in a conspiracy to compel him to marry
the heiress. A kind of stiff shynets
made him blush as he walked down stairs
and feel furious that he was doing so.
There was a great deal of laughing and
chattering going on in the drawing
room. Jleta Lee Aston, a young lady
no longer young, was seated at the piano
with all the younger members ot the
party round her, they were trying to
sing a glee, "Let the bumper toast go
round," and enjoying tho mistakes they
made.
Mrs. Leo Aston, Miss Aehburn, her
elder sister, and Mrs. Arthur the eldest
son's wife, were seated round the tea
table. Sir Edward possessed himself ol the

Aiithoiiy Trollope's American diarac
tors. Trollopc's attitude toward Americans
is thus touched upon by Henry James: .
"His American portraita, by the way
(they are several in number), are al
ways friendlv: thev hit it off
happily than the attempt to depict
American character from the European
Plnt of view is accustomed to do;
though," indeed, as we ourselves have
not yet learned to represent our types
very
jiuuiy are not apparently even
very sure what our types are it is per
haps not to be wondered nt that trans
atlantic talent should miss the mark.
The weakness of transatlantic talent,
in this particular, is apt. to be want of
knowledge; but Trollope's knowledge
lias all the air of being excellent,
though not intimate. Had he indeed
striven to learn tho way to the Ameri
can heart? No less than twice and,
possibly, even oftener has ho rewarded
the merit of a scion of the British aristoc
racy with the hand of an American
girl. The American girl was destined
sooner or later to make her entrance
into British fiction, and Trollope's treat
ment of this complicated being i full
of good humor and of that fathorly in
dulgence, that almost motherly sym
pathy, which characterises his attitude
throughout toward the youthful fem
inine. He has not mastered all .the
springs of her delicate organism, nor
sounded all the mysteries of hor con
versation. Indeed, as regards those
latter phenomena, lie has observed a
few of which he has been the vole ob
server. 'I got to be thinking if any
one of them should ask me to marry
him,' words attributed to Miss Bon
