PHILBRICK SURPRISED Dr. Williams was too amazed at the Gacity of Prcfessor Drummond's proposal to think for a moment of its offensivene “The man’s mad!" he exclaimed. The doctor was not far from right. Whichever way Profe 7 Drummond turn- ed he saw possible danger. Worse, least more terrifying than the dangers he could see were those that threatened Indefi- nitel he doctor might at any time take it into his head to disclose what he knew; and Philbrick—there was no telling what he knew or inferred or meant to do. Des- peration was steadily and rapidly under- mining the professor's mental balance. His violent fits of temper, his inability to conceal his passion at all times, were plain symptoms of the overstrain to which events subjected him. The proposal for Mrs. Wil- Laid Her Hands Upon His Shouiders, Mams was a frenzied attempt, like a last resort, to so establish relationships that Dr. Williams, at least, would be bound to silence. “Of course,” said Mrs. Williams, quietly; “it seems like it. I can’t think that he feels any affection for me.” “I should say not! What did you tel him “Why, L made it as clear as I could that such a thing was out of the question. He begged me not to decide hastily, but to hold the matter open. He promised not to refer to it again until a reasonable time had elapsed. He has said nothing about it since I returned here.” “Shouldn't think he would. How mon- strous it seems!” “He pleaded for Louise and Amelia more than for himself. They needed an elder woman's companionship, he sald.” ndoubtedly he was right there.” The doctor want to the bedside and gazed at his patient with troubled eyes. ‘The hor- ror of the general situation grew upon him as he saw the pallid face of this Innocent girl whose life had been b} ed by the vil- lainy of the man_ unde hose roof she as obliged to find shelter. Was it weak- ness on his part that restrained him still from exposing the professor? What was to be gained thereby? Not the undoing of or at} murder; not the restoration of Amelia's happiness; not a thirg that would be of benefit to himself or his mother. What evil would then be attendant upon an exposure, | 8ranting that the crime of murder could be fastened upon the professor? In answer to this query, the doctor felt a host of ilis rising before him—the dis- grace that so far he had warded from Louise; the shock to his mother, who would suffer he could rot tell how keenly at the thought of her association with the man: discredit to himself, though that weighed least in the balance. od vet, was It not his duty so to act that r crimes might be prevented? “He had thousht of it in this light beore, and he shuddered as he recalled how quick the pro: was to give way to vioient passion. What might not happen if he were permitted te course? This thought came upon the doctor with the force ct a new resolution. He felt nim- self called on, not only to save Amelia, but the prefessor as well.” His i upon this idea with vigor, and he rapidly debated plans of action. He had thus far disdained to exert or develop ihe power he possessed over the professor, ex- cept in the a ling the praper care of Amelia.

What can she be up to? Why does she stay here after her place has been taken? Or why does Mrs. Appleton stay?” He stopped under the impulse to speak to Betsey, and she looked over her shoul- der as !f she, too, wished to say something; but as he hesitated she glided on. “I'll have to think up something in order to lead her into a conversation,” thought the doctor. the craft and dissimulation I can muster with the professor.” At the foot of the stairs he heard Phil- brick*s light-hearted tones from the direc- tion of the dining room. A low ripple of laughter assured him that Louise was, as usual, giving the visitor admiring audience. A low rumble of bass from the room across the hall testified to the professor’s where- abouts. The docter knocked at the door, and an instant later the profe: “Ah, doctor,” he said, with i ) approach of his ordinary blandness, “something wanted for the patient?” “No, thanks,” replied the doctor. “I wanted a word with you on a matter not directly connected with the patient. If you are engaged, I'll wait.” Greatly surprised at the doctor’s agree- able manners—for since Amelia's illness the young man had been curt to the point of insult—Professor Drummond looked across to the dining room. He, too, heard Philbrick’s voice, and, after a slight hesi- tation, said: ‘ome in here.

A peculiar accident happened the other night, near Kingston, Obio, in which Nel- sen Rayburn came near losing his life. Mr. Rayburn was in a buggy, crossing the N. and W. track, when his horse was struck by a west-bound freight. Although the horse was killed and part of the dashboard torn away, Rayburn, who was sound as!eep in his burgy, knew nothing of the acci- dent until some time after it had occurred. The ergineer saw the buggy, but was un- a to stop the train.

The Funds of a Defunct 1 rance Company—Brotherhood of St. An- drew and Other Local News. = A dispatch from Winston, N. C., says that Messrs. C. C. Smoot’s Sons and Company of Alexandria have closed a contract for the establishment of a $100,000 tannery plant at North Wilkesboro, N. C., which will cover twenty acres of land, use six thousand cords of chestnut bark annually and employ a large force of hands. The Messrs. Smoot, upon being interviewed by a Star man in regard to this announcement, pronounced it correct, and gave business reasons for the proposed movement. The proposed abandonment of the Wilkes strect track of the Southern railroad would render the tannery here less profitable, as they ‘Would have to haul their bark from the Gepot to the works. The building of this additional plant will not obligate thelr bus- iness in this city, as their headquarters will sull be in this city, and this will be their distributing point. Defanct Insurance Company. The case of J. S. White agt. the Farmers and Mechanics’ Insurance Company came up for trial in the circuit court, Judge C. E. Nicols presiding. Mr. S. W. Estes, treas- urer, who was charged with removing $2,500 from the First National Bank on the morning of the appointment of Mr. ©. B. Taylor as receiver, and who was ordered by Judge Norton to produce the money, stated that it was utterly impossible for him to do so, as he had given the money to his father, who positively refused to give it to him. Upon argument of counsel, the court decreed that he was in contempt for not returning the money, he being the legal custodian of the money as treasurer, and unless he returned the same he would be committed for contempt to serve a term in jail. Mr. Estes was released upon $2,500 bond for his appearance next Thursday, on which day the order of the court will be entered. Brotherhood of St. Andrew. At the meeting of the Alexandria local counell of the brotherhood, which will be held in the parish hall of St. Paul's Church tonight at 8 o'clock, reports will be made by each chapter secretary as to the condition of the work.

According to established custom, Satur- day being St. Andrew's day, the members of the various chapters of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew held their annual meetings. At 7 o'clock in the evening each chapter met in their rooms and elected chapter offi- cers, consisting of director, vice director, secretary and treasurer and two delegates to the local council. At 8 o’clock all the chapters gathered in St. Andrew's. Church, 14th and Corcoran streets, to take part in the annual service. In the chancel were the rector of St. Andrew’s, Rev. J. B. Perry, D.D.;) Rey. Alexander Mackay Smith, rector of St. John’s, Washington; Rev. Mr. Griffith of the Takoma Park Church, and Rev. Albert M. Hilliker, the chaplain of the brotherhood. Dr. Mackay Smith delivered the sermon, which was ad- dressed especially to men, and which was taken from one of the journeys by water of the Apostle Paul. Rev. Dr. Smith likened the head winds which beset Paul and the various other vexations of the voyage to those which beset every man not only on the outset of his career, but all through life, and that they can only be overcome by patience and perseverance and faith in God. After the service the delegates to the local council, representing nearly every one of the twenty-five odd chapters in the coun- cil, adjourned to the parish hall adjoining the church for the election of the new offi- cers who will serve until this time next year. This resulted as follows: Barnabas Bryan of Emanued Chapter succeeds Pres- ident Perry B. Pierce in the executive chair; John F. Paret of Epiphany Chapter assumes the vice presidency, in place of Barnabus Bryan; Rolla P. Currie of Ascen- sion Chapter succeeds himself as corre- sponding secretary and treasurer; R. Pres- ton Shealey of Trinity Chapter was elected to the recording secretaryship, vice E. Maury Posey of Grace Chapter, and Rev. Albert M. Hilliker, as chaplain, succeeds himself. These five officers, together with se- lected by the president, form an executive committee, and have power to transact nearly all the business of the organization. President Bryan has selected three of the members of the committee as follows, the other one to come from St. John’s Chapter, Georgetown: W. D. N. Langtree of St. St phen’s Chapter, James F. Alston of St. Luke’s Chapter and Joseph H. Gibbons of Christ Church (East Washington) Chap- ter. The retiring executive, P. B. Pierce, presented two matters for the considera- tion of the new executive committee which they will be called upon to take action upon at their first meeting. The first is a propo- sition to rent the Harris Academy every Sunday evening, and in it conduct services for men, and the other is to establish a brotherhood reading rooms. —_—._—_. UNDER THE UTAH ACT. Four Persons Convicted and Fined in the Police Court. Since the decision of the Court of Appeals in the case involving the application of the Edmunds law, many tales of woe have been poured {nto the ears of the police and the prosecuting attorney, and it is stated that several cases mvolving the happiness of families are under investigation. Deserted wives and husbands are the principal ones to make complaint, and it is only where the acts have been committed since the court's decision that the cases are taken under advisement. While thése cases are under :nvestigation, the policemen are en- forcing the law agetinst offenders who do not make much of an effort to hide their conduct, @nd two cases in which colored people figured as defendants were tried in Judge Miller's court yesterday. Charles Boss, who is known as one of “Red Bill's” Heutenants, and Mamie Ford were tbe defendants"in one case. They had been arrested in the house of Dick W! Hams in rear of No. 3 M street, and they pleaded guilty. Policeman O'Brien, who arrested the cou- ple, said he had a great amount of trouble with this particular house. George M. H. Jordan and Maria Brown were defendants in the other case. They were arrested in a house in Blagden’s alle; The woman lives in Georgetown, and w: a stranger in the locality where she was arrested. The four defendants were fined $10 each or thirty days in jail. To Lecture on Good Cooking. Considerable interest is being shown in the forthcoming course of lectures on the art of good cooking to be delivered at Met- zerott Hall by Mr. Thomas J. Murrey. The first lecture, which takes place next Fri- aay afternoon at 0 o'clock, is on tht sub- ject of the chafing dish, and the one next Tuesday afternoon at the same place and hour is on the preparation of fish and shell- fish. There are five lectures in the course, all on topics of timely interest and‘full of valuable suggestions to people who want to know how to make the best use of the resourees and possibilities of the Washing- ton market. In his lecture on salads, sauces and mushrooms, Mr. Murrey will tell of a number of ‘inexpensive salads which can be had in the local market, but which are not generally known to house- keepers. Marketing and carving will also be touched upon in the course. Just at present the good points of the chafing dish are so generally recognized that special in- terest will attach to anything that such a recognized authority on the subject may hhave to say. As a writer of cook books and a lecturer on the supject, Mr. Murrey is probably as well known as he is as the pro- prictor of the restaurant of the House of Representatives, and his course of talks on goed cooking is pretty certain to attract large crowds. e _ Prejudiced.

THE GIKL AND THE WHEEL, A Good Combination Until a Calf Ine sixted on Joining It. Frem the Utica Dally Press. A calf, a bicycle, and a young lady were the principal actors in a little comedy a few days since, the scene of which wa: laid in the vicinity of New York Mills. The young lady and the wheel were bow- ling merrily along one afternoon, when they came to the top of a hill, which offer- ed a fine opportunity for a coast. Accord- ingly the young lady's feet went up on the rests, and the wheel started for an untram- meled cruise down the incline. The coast Was clear, with the exception of a calf standing inoffensively in the road about half way down the hill. Had It been a mouse, in all probability the fair cyclist would have at once dismounted and gone around by another route, or stopped into some house for assistance, but being only a harmless calf, that would in all proba- bility make room at cnee, at the approach cf the young lady and her wheel, the lat- ter kept steadily on. The calf, however, apparently had dif- ferent views concerning the right of way, and calmly stood his ground. The wheel had now gained quite an impetus, and de- spite the frantic efforts of its rider it struck the astonished calf with a vim, and in some unaccountable manner the young lady brought up on her hands and knees, with her head between the calf's hind legs. This was too much for the latter, as well as for the fair cyclist, and he moved off in double-quick time, leaving the wheel and its owner to reorganize and continue. eee ea WHEN HE PROPOSED.

I offer you the love of an honest man, who will do all in his power to make you hippy. I—” She stopped him by a gesture. “It is useless to continue at present,” she said, firmly, but kindly. “There are several cases ahead of yours on the docket.” “But,” he protested, “I want—” She stopped him again. “I must insist that these matters be taken up in their regular order,” she said, sharply. “Put your proposition in writing and file it with my maid, and it will receive due atten- tion when it is reached in the regular course of business.
