A road Is being built In the high Alps which passes tho Great St Ber nard and also the hospice of that name. This great engineering feat will be fin ished and opened to traffic In July of next year. The total annual production of tim ber and firewood of the German for ests Is estimated at 88,000,000 tons, and this Is supplemented by an Import of 4,600.000 tons. The material progress of the country would not be possible had It net the large home production to fall back upon. The roof garden at tho Merrltt building, Eighth avenue and Nine teenth street, New York, has been crowded every night since It was opened, July 1. The admittance Is free, and religious meetings, with much music, are held every eyenlng. Although the garden holds 1.C00, the crowds were so great last week that hundreds had to be turned away. The Foreign Tract society has trans lated Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress'-' Into no less than nlncty-flve different languages and dialects.. Some of these, as might have been anticipated, are of a Jaw-brcaklng character. So much ho, Indeed, have the compositors of tho Oxford University Press found the Eskimo language to bo that they have demanded a higher rate of payment In regard to It. A comparative statement concerning the Importation of pork, bacon, and lard Into the Philippines during the calendar year 1900, as compared with the calendar year 1899,. has been pre pared In the division of Insular affairs of the war department. The total Im portation of these commodities for 1900 was valued at 9283,623, as against 8144,669 for 1899, showing an Increase of 61 per cent. That concrete la to take the place of brick and atone as a building material is the hopeful belief of Mr. Edison, who has discovered a cheap method of making Portland cement. Before many years, ho nays, a contractor will Just take his wooden form one of twenty or thirty standard shapes and go out and "pour a house" which will cost very little and will be fireproof. Hall the happy day! Such a structure should be almost as Imperishable as the toil.' for the rent. The Oriental maxim that nobody should run If he can get along by walk ing, or stand If sitting will answer, or sit If it Is possible to lie down, finds many adherents In days of extreme heat. Telephone offices 'are unusually busy because so many people resort to them to save making a trip, and street cars are filled with those who would otherwise wajk, In short, all easy ways of doing things are at a premium, with the result that those persons who are employed In the occupations that sate physical effort on tho part of the public are worked harder than ever. Public attention has been centered of late upon the Chlncso in their own country: but the position of Chinese in the "United States now demands con- slderation. The act of 1882 suspended the immigration or Chinese laborers for ten years, and the act of 1892 continued the exclusion for ten years more. This part of the law will expire by limita tion next year. A bill will be Introduced In the next Congress to extend Its pro visions for another period of twenty years. On the other hand, an effort will be made to repeal tho act. Thus the wholo question of the treatment of Chinese immigration will be reopened. in .the smaller places In England horses have to be borrowed for the ftre engines. Often thirty to fifty min utes are wasted In getting horses, which, when nn alarm of flro was given, were at work at their dally duty. A considerable amount of time Is also lost in finding the proper har ness for them. The horsing of steam tire engines in country districts is a very difficult problem. There is hardly a town of any alio in the Unltea States which does not have one or more Are engines, and they can be got under way with a delay of from thirty sec onds to a mlnuto and a half, while in tho larger cities even thirty seconds would be considered alow work. One of tho most notable exemplars of peculiar dietary custom is an American army officer of good phyBlque, who, In several years of exacting service at an out-of-the-way western post, subsisted entirely on "canned goods." It was his custom to open cans at haphazard, a single can for each meal; whether the contents were fish, fowl, or flesh, vege tables, or fruit, he ate that and nothing more, and he lives to tell the tale. But he was always active, physically and mentally, except when asleep, and be breathed fresh air. ; ARREST A SUSPECT Law Officer Claim to Have Clua to tmtttar Robbery. WMHRS, mm EMPLOYE, AMESTEP Aelloas for Ben Tim Tend to faerlsel at Mm Material Used to IlalM ecret Tunnel Fonnd la His Cabin Other News. A Ban Franolsco rifspatch saya: Cap tain Seymour of the local detective 1 force lias disclosed tho identity of tfee man whom the police department baa in custody on suspicion of being Im plicated In the robbery of '.'80,000 worth of gold bullion from the Sclby smelter works at Vallejo Junction. The suspect Is Joliu Winters, thirty seven yeors old, a former employe of tbosmeltlog'company. Captain Sey mour also outlined the evidence oat which Winters Is being held, as fol lows: "A man's cap was found in the rail road tunnel last Tuesday morning, which was positively identified as J head covering worn by Winters, and to strengthen this fnci there Is the fur ther ono that the suspect lias been wearing ft new cap ever since the time of the robbery. He explains the lou of the old one by saying that it blew away. "The cover of the tunnel excavated by the thieve was constructed of lath upon which some cloth was fastened with tacks of a peculiar pattern, and tacks similar to these were fonnd in Winter's cabin.- Portions of lath simi lar to those composing the framework of the cover have boon fou. nd at the same pluce." "A pistol owned by Winters and fonnd in h s cabin is covered with mud which corresponds exactly with the earth taken from tho tunnel. In tho tunnel were found several cubes of peculiar chalk which had ' evidently been used to smother tho grinding sound made by tho drill by which tho floor plate of tho vault had been bored, and pieces of chalk exactly like them J were discovered in Winters residence. "In the cabin wan also found a new implement designed to cut gas pipe. A small electric battery and a tiny electric bulb, the latter being covered with dirt, similar to-that in the tun nel, under the vault, was found in the cabin. " "Winter has been seen late at night in the vicinity of the railroad tunnel alx or seven times by persons who had occasion to pass that way." Winters stoutly claims that he knows nothing whatever of the robbery. GLAMORING FOR MORE LAND Homeless Men at Ijiwlon Will Petition Interior Department. A movement has been started at Lawton, Okl., among the homeseekers who lost to have the government open up the three reserves in the lottery which it set aside in the Lawton dis trict before the opening. These re berves embrace 532,500 acres, or about 3,300 quarter sections. The land was held In reserve, it is believed, because the government anticipated the cattle men would need it, but if the cattle rocn can round up their cattle and get them to the government reservations this fall, tho homeseekers argue, they can find pasture elsewhere next, spring. The homfReckers are willing to buy the land outright. Fined 'for Maintaining Trust.

An O'Neill, Neb., dispatch of Satur day says that much excitement Is being caused there by reason of the decision of tho secretary of the interiqr with reference to land allotted to quarter and half blood Indiana. The decision in effect is: "Children born of a white man, a citizen of the United States, and an Indian woman, his wife, follow tho status of the father in' the matter of citizenship, and arc therefore not en titled (o allotments under section four, act February 8, 1887, or amended by the act of February 88, 1891." The decision seems to affect the title of several thousand acres of very eholco land in Boyd and Knox coun ties. In the act of 1890 .there was al lotted to the Ponca tribe of Indians in Nebraska several thousand acres of land in the abovo named .counties, which then formed a part of tho Ponca and Sioux Indian reservation. Many of f he allottees wero children born of a white man and an Indian woman and under the rule then in force it wnB thought they were entitled to an allot ment. This ruling was reversed in tho decision above referred to. COTTON MILL TO BE SOLD Forclosnre Ordered Against tho Kearney Property.

When tho princess was alone, sho trembled beneath the weight of the new thought that bad been wrought upon her. Flight was something that had not made Its way to her mind ba fore, but now that it had been present ed, she could not dismiss It. She had revealed her whole feeling, so far as the king was concerned, in her speech to Albla. There may have been other springs within her soul which she did not then dare to touch; but in her own soul, unsupported and uninfluenced by other causes than such an spring from reason and reflection, had grown n. fear of Horam, and a terror of being his wife. She had dreamed of poor Helena until the dead queen seemed almost an attendant spirit upon her, sent to warn her. The night paused, and the day came; and she had resolved that aho would not marry with the old king If she could avoid It. When Albla camo, and asked her what she had de termined, such was the purport of her answer. ' 'But," said the bondmalden, "there la but one way In which the sacrifice can be avoided. Are you ready to flee?" "Not yet not yet, Albla. Walt through the day." In tho afternoon the king made a visit to the house of his prime minis ter and spent a short time with Ulin. He never looked more repulsive. He was loud in his words of love, and made the announcement that fortune had turned full in his favor. It was evident enough that he bad been tak ing more wine than usual. When he went away, Ulln sank down upon a low stool, and burled her face in her hands. "Albla," she said, when she felt like speaking, "I can bear no more. I would rather die than give myself to that man. If I should die, my father would lose me; but If I fleo from Damascus, I may at some time return to him. If you can prepare for leaving the city, I will accompany you this very night." The bondmalden promised that she would do all In her power; and without waiting to waste time in useless words, she went forth to search for the help she needed. Evening came, and Ulln had not shrunk back from the decision she had made. There were two reasons why her home had not power to win her back from her resolve. The death of her mother had taken away the brightest part of that home; and, fur thermore, its character of home was soon to be changed If sho remained. It could not be her home any more. CHAPTER VIII. Hobaddan. Thus sat the princess, presenting herself with every available reason that could favor her in her resolution, when Albla came in, with a quick step and a flushed cheek. "My mistress," sho said, when she had assured herself that they were alone, "there is a man in the gar don who wishes to speak with you." "A man!" cried Ulln. "He says It is a case of llfo or death of life or death to an individ ual, and of life or death to a city," pursued the bondmalden, without no ticing the Interruption. "Ho gained entrance to the garden, and has been searching for tho lady Ullni He did nQt tell me his name; but I know that he was with the robbers at the Pal ace of tho Valley, and he says ho is a friend of Julian. If you will see him now, I can conduct him up without danger of discovery." "In mercy's name, Albla, what mean you?" The princess trembled like an aspen. "What can ho want with me?" "I think he is an honest man, my lady; and I think you had better see him. I only speak my own feelings." "Does he say that Julian sent him?" asked Ulln, trembling more violently as that name fell from her lips. "Julian did not send him," replied Albla; "and yet he comes in behalf of Julian. I think tho noblo young chief tain Is In danger, and thts man hopes that you may be able to render some assistance." "Indeed, Albla, I must not do such a thing. It would not be proper. I must not do It What is the robber chieftain to me?" "I know not of a verity, my lady, that such la the man's hope; but I do know that he prays most earnestly to see you. Yet, If you will not see him, I will cftrry to him your word." "What will he do if I refuse?" "He will go away, and trouble you no more." "Are you sure of this, Albla?' "I am, my lady. He bade mo say unto you that you should act your own pleasure Ho urges no claim, and will take no offense at refusal, but he prayerfully asks that you will grant him audience." Tho princess was not proof against the spirit which prompted to the re ception of the robber. It was not wholly curiosity which moved her. There wero feelings working within her which she could not havo ox plained, even to herself. Sho told Al bla that Bhe might conduct the man to her apartment. "You will come with him, Albla; and you will remain with mo while ho Is hero." Tho bondmalden went away, and ere long returned, followed -by a toll, stout, middle-aged man. Ah the rays A Story f the Erxst... SYLVJiNUS COBB. JR. Robert Bonner's Sons. of the lamp fell upon his face, reveal ing features that were far above the average in their stamp of manhood, Ulln recognised him as one whom she had seen with Julian in the Valley of Lycanlus. He bowed very low as ho entered, and when he saw how the maiden was affected by his presence, ho proceeded at once to open his busi ness. "Noble lady," he said, in a tone which might at once have banished all fear from, the minds of his listeners, "I have come to you upon a most strange business, and I will use as few words as possible In presenting It to you. My young master Is in danger." "Do you speak of Julian?" asked the princess, with a slight start. "Yes, my lady," replied tho man, standing respectfully beforo her, with his cap In his hand. "My name Is Hobaddan, and I am Julian's lieutenant. I have been with him from the period of his earliest childhood. Since he was large enough to lift a lance, I have been his friend and companion. He was given Into my care during his opening youth; and when he reached the estate of manhood I was content to serve him. I love htm as a brother aye, better- than most brothers love. I love him tenderly and devotedly. And all hla followers love hlra. A thousand stout men love and worship him." What did all thts mean? Why had Hobaddan come to tell her this? Ulln trembled, knowing not wherefore, and gazed anxiously into the speaker's face. "Lady," pursued the lieutenant, who had stopped a moment, as thqugh he would assure himself that his lan guage gave no offense, "my master is In danger. Ho is in the hands of his deadliest enemy. He Is In this city cast Into a dark, deep dungeon, and Horam means to kill him!" Ulln turned pale as death, and clasped her hands upon her bosom. Her look signified that she would ask how It happened. "I will explain," continued Hobad dan, "how this misfortune befell my chieftain. Have you ever seen an Israelite named Judah?" T know him well," said Albla. "He is the king's slave." "And two black men, named Osmir and Sellm?" "I know them also," answered the bondmalden. "They came to our camp," said Ho baddan, "and told bo fair a story that they were admitted to fellowship, and the blacks were placed as servants near the person of our chieftain. But the result proved that they were sent out by Horam, and that their mission waB to capture the Scourge of Damas cus. And this work they have accom plished How they did it I cannot tell. I only know that we missed our leader, and that the three conspirators were missing with him. I came at once to this city, and have succeeded in dis covering what I have 'told you. Julian Is In prison, and of course the fate of death awaits him." "But sir, said Ulin, struggling to speak calmly, "what can this mean to me?" "Noble lady, 1 know that the thought of seeking you was a wild ono; and perhaps you will say it was monstrous; but I could think of no other course. I know that your father was prime minister; and that you were in n position to wield some in fluence. There is not an officer in Damascus to whom I would dare to annly. Is there not some way In which you can help me?" "How, sir? Help you In what?" "In setting my young master free." "Indeed, sir, you have taken a step most 'wild. How should I, the daugh ter of Aboul Cassem, dare to step In between Justice and Its victim?" "Ah, lady," returned the lieutenant, "some .of us think that others higher than Julian owe more to justice than does he." "Still, sir," pursued Ulin, "it Ib most absurd to think that I could help you in this." Did Utln appear like one offended? No. Did she treat the name of Julian as though she deemed him worthy of the fate which threatened him? No. She seemed ratheMo be struggling to put away Bomc feeling of a very dif ferent character. The lieutenant evi dently read her nature, for he pro ceeded earnestly: "Do not misunderstand me, lady. Were the work simply to set Julian free, I should not have visited you. Tho work I would give Into your hands is the salvation of Damascus. If our master Is slain by the king, this city must suffer terribly. The vengeance of those who love the chieftain will be dreadful. If Julian falls beneath tho sword of the king's executioner, his followers will draw more blood from the life of this people than Polypses drew when he ravaged the city of the northern plain. To save all this, no blo princess, can you not help me? Is there not somo way in which you can remove the bolt from the door of tho chieftain's prison-house?" Ulln was trembling more violently than before. "O, sir," she cried, giving full scope now to her feelings, "you find me powerless to help you. I have not the lufluenco which you ascribe to me. If I had tho power, I would not hesi tate It I wero tho jailer, and held the keys of tho prison door, I would set your InaRter free; but, alas! I am moro weak than you imagine. I an more like a prisoner than like a prin cess!" At this juncture the bondmalden arose from her seat and moved for ward. Her dark eyes sparkled with peculiar Are, and her fair brow worked as though the bain were revolving mighty thoughts. "Dear lady," she said, addressing her mistress, "there is but one way in which we can render tho assurance which this man seeks." "Speak, Albla," said Ulln, betraying a suddenness of emotion which told very plainly how her desire ran. "Not now, my mistress," returned tho girl. "I must have tlmo: It this man can come to'our garden two hours past midnight, I can tell him more." "Is there help?" asked Hobaddan, eagerly. ' "I cannot tell you now." replied Al bla. "I can only tell you thts! It thero Is help, It Is to be found only In one quarter. I will look for it there; and, at the time I havo men tioned, you shall know the result 1 will look for it if my lady Is willing." "And I am pardoned for my Intru sion?" said Hobaddan. "Yea." returned Ulln. She would have eald more, but Albia was al ready at the door, and the robber had turned to follow her. CHAPTER IX. The Dark Hour. "It seemed like a dream to Ulin. She closed her eyes and opened them and, aroseand walked across;' tho chamber simply to assure herself ttiat she was awake. Was It possible that a member of the robber band had been to see her had been, within het chamber had come, and had gone? A friend and companion of Jullan'n seeking her for aid In behalf of tho chieftain? Sho was trying to mak It appear real, when her bondmalden returned. The door wos closed, and Albla re marked, as she took a seat: "Ho will bo In the garden two bourn past midnight, my lady; and If we can help hlra, we must do our work ag speedily as possible." "Help." repeated Ulln, gazing Into her altendarit'3 face. "How can we help Julian?' "The thing may bo possible," replied .Albla, In a thoughtful mood. "If you would serve him, I think a way call be opened to the accomplishment." Iho princess reflected a few mo ments, and then said: "If the man who was hero epokc the truth, it may become my duty to help him; and certainly his story seemed plausible. I can very easily see how the powerful robber band, moved to desperation by the death of their beloved leader, might wreak most terrible vengeance upon this city; and purely, If we can be the means of nvertlng so dire a calamity, It la our duty so to do." "I think it is," added Albla. "But," continued Ulin, "if Julian la In the power of the king, he must be in one of the strongest dungeons; and a strict guard must be kept over him. How can we reach him?" "I can think of but one way," re turned the bondmalden, laying down the plan with her finger as she pro ceeded. "Osmir and Sellm had a hand In capturing the young chieftain; and it is not Impossible that they may have a hand In guarding him. I Judge so from the fact that the capturo of tho robber has not yet become gen erally known In the city, which would certainly havo been the case it tho king's officers had known it.. .Now. we havo some claim upon the gratitude of thin Osmir, and I think ho is, by na ture, grateful enough to repay us. He is the man whom we found faint and dying upon the shore of the lake, and who must have died it we had not nursed him. You remember the cir cumstance?" "He had almost been killed by some slaves of Alopuo," explained Albla. (To be continued.) Even Family Bceretst The Inquisitorial proceedings of Income-tax collectors in Austria are n source of great annoyance to self-respecting citizens. They pry into every family secret, however delicate. But" now they do even moro than that. They attempt to check the Income ot a man by finding out what Is sent him by rail. The inspector of taxes at Myslenlce, in order to give tho screw ' another turn, has applied to the rail way managers for permission to send an official to Makow station for a cer tain time in order to examlno all par cels sent there or thence, and find out to whom or from whom they have been sent. Of course the purpose ot such a demand Is clear. Proof Is re quired that certain persons spend more, and therefore have a grcator In- 4 come than they have declared, tbiiE. ignoring the fact that a man may pos sibly live beyond his income. At the same time it must be confessed that there is a great difficulty In getting peoplo to give truthful declarations. More Laughter, Less Suicide. The physiological benefits ot laugh ter can not be overestimated. It shakes up the diaphragm, sets th pulses beating to a lively measure, stimulates the blood corpuscles, en livens the brain, and sometimes pro-educes dislocation of thfc Jaw when in dulged in too heartily by a man with a large mouth. Used with discretion ' laughter Is as Inspiring as a Beo breeze, us refreshing as an August shower. Its moral effect is beyond computation. It has killed moio rjdlo ulous superstitions "by its' 'rollicking roars of unbelief than any other1' agency, says tho Literary Eta. Wbal can bo more derisive than a laugh 1 Tho man who laughB never kills him self. That Is the reason so few Irlsliv, .men commit suicide. f - s
