A youthful graduate of the Harvard tjjkw' School came West and opened an Office in a small frontier town. His first client was a man accused of steal­ ing a horse. The case came to trial before *an old judge and a jury com­ posed of bewhiskered ranchers, and though there was no doubt of the guilt Of the defendant, he had a regiment of friends who swore he was forty miles Off when the horse was stolen. This evidence the prosecution was unable to break down, and the young lawyer plumed himself on a certain acquittal. The jury retired, and five minutes later was back in court. "Have you agreed on a verdict?" asked the judge. "We hev," answered the foreman, as lie shifted a gun he carried on his tdp.

The royal princes were among those present at the ceremony. On the base of the: statue is an inscription by thePope pray­ ing the Virgin to guard thjfe frontier' of Italy. . \ I The statue commemorates' what is re­ garded as an act of divine intervention.

Ms Lives Lost in Baralsg, «f It, Affnets' Convent, Sparkill* M, T. 8lx lives were lost by the burning of the St. Agnes' convent at Sparkill, five milee south of Nyack, N. Y., esriy Mon­ day morning. Four persona were burn­ ed to death and two others died after be­ ing resoaed from the burning buildings. Four sisters jumped from windows, re­ ceiving serious injuries. Two will prob­ ably die. ' St. Agnes' Home is conducted by the sisters of St. Dominic. Sister X. Peter is the saperioc, and under her are thirty- six professed nuns and three novices and three postulants. Rev. PhiHp Ahearn is the chaplain. The convent was used as a home for homeless children. ^ .Several hundred waifs were in the building wh^n the fire broke out. ( When the flames were discovered the sisters 'and Chaplain Ahearn ' hurried through the dormitories awaking the 300 boys and fifty girls who were sleeping there. The startled, half-awake children, as soon as they appreciated the cause of the excitement and realised that their home was burning, fled in all directions like frightened sheep. The sisters hero­ ically endeavored to restrain them, but to no avail. They rushed down the etairs in a panic. Some fell and were trampled upon by others. The sisters and chaplain remained behind alarming the children until driven from the rooms by flames and smoke. The four sisters who jumped from the windows remained too long, and the flames cut off their escape by way of the stairs. The home was composed of six frame buildings. The three main structures, where the fire originated, are joined. A stiff breeze was blowing at the time, and the flames spread through the building with great rapidity. The three buildings comprising the main structure and one of the detached buildings were burned to the ground. The hospital building apd one small outbuilding were saved. The scenes outside of the burning In­ stitution were heartrending. The chil­ dren, many of whom were waifs of New York, were huddled together on the hill- Bide just north of the burning convent. Some eighty sisters, who also made the convent their home, stood by, dressed only in their night garments, comforting and quieting their frantic charges. In the midnigfct darkness the white-robed figures presented a strange spectacle. As day dawned the news of the fire spread to the surrounding country and scores of farmers drove to the scene. The children and sisters were loaded into wagons and driven to Blauvelt Convent, which is situated about one mile away. The fire was the third that has occur­ red in St. A«nes' Convent within a short time. Whether or not they were of in cendiary origin has -never been deter­ mined, but the fact that Monday night's fire started in three separate places con­ vinces the authorities that the circum­ stances are suspicious. The property leas is estimated at $100,000. BUSINESS SITUATION. Chicago CoRMpoafence The B&deriyWg feature* of the busi­ ness aituatten tat still of a promising character. The few changes that have taken place lately have been for the bet­ ter, and the result of this la that the feeling of confidence In the future is gaining strength. Tfcere is no longer fny apprehension felt In regard to the ntimty market, borrowers and lenders alike be­ ing now pretty well satisfied that noth­ ing approaching a tight market can be brought about. The West seems abun­ dantly supplied with funds and appar­ ently able to provide for the moving of the crops this fall without any great amount of assistance from the Eastern financial centers. Furthermore, the pres­ ent condition of the foreign exchange markets make* it certain that any impor­ tant advance in interest rates in this country would at onoe start a gohMtn- porting movement ot considerable pro­ portions. 'Hie stock markets this week have con­ tinued to gain strength. Efforts on the part of the professional bear element to depress prices for the standard railroad shares have been defeated simply be­ cause of the fact that the actual busi­ ness position of the country is hostile to such operations. In some of the purely speculative stocks shake-outs have oc­ curred, but the inveetpnent properties have not only stood their ground, but many of them have made further ad­ vances.

"BLOOOY TENTH" AT HOME. Pnsarlvssk Volunteers Beck from tise Philippines. The Tenth Pennsylvania Volunteers passed through Chicago Sunday after­ noon on their way home from the Phil­ ippines. Bruwaed fey the tropicsl sun and inured to war by service first in Cuba against the Spaniards and later in the far away Philippines against the wily forces of Afftunaldo, the boys of the "Bloody Tenth," Pennsylvania's pride, were cheered at every station as their train sped «n its way to Pittsburg. Col. Sanborn had extended the Penn- aylvanians an invitation to stop over in Chicago as gnssts of the First Illinois infantry, but Co!. Barnett found this im­ possible, and the three sections of the troop train were delayed oniy long enough to make the transfer from the Chicago and Northwestern to the Penn­ sylvania line. JThe rqpnent roll contained 756 names --733 privates and twenty-three officers. It lost twenty-one men in the Orient, fif­ teen being killed in battle and six dying of fever. The occasion of the . Tenth regiment's home-coming was made a holiday throughout' a big section of western Pennsylvania. Pittsburg and Allegheny were thronged with hundreds of thou­ sands of persons who came to welcome the heroes home. President McKiriley was there, as was Maj. Gens. Merritt and Greene. Gov. Stone delivered the formal address at Schenley Park, and the countless throng then singled ont the soldiers and proceeded to make an idoi of each, irrespective of rank. The Presi­ dent reviewed the regiment and made a speech. More than $50,000 was spent to make the welcome a royal one. ACCEPTS AMERICAN R^LE. f.

Activity characterised the week's spec­ ulative business in grain, and th* volume of dealings in provisions was qfiite up to the average. Prices did not vary much from those prevailing at the close of the previous week. Estimates erf the amount of wheat raised this year displayed a tendency to agree upon a crop of about 525,000,000 bushels. Almost equal con­ currence in the requirements of the im­ porting countries was shown in the. esti­ mates of foreign statisticians, which did not vary much from 345,000,000 kushels. Of that total they calculate 220,000,000 bushels will be needed from this coun­ try, or a weekly supply throughout tbe season of about 4,180,000 bushels. Al­ lowing for the surplus left over from the previous season's mottt abundant crop, the indications are there is less wheat this year than last year by at least 100,- 000,000 bushels to supply equal require­ ments. If these calculations prove ap­ proximately correct prices should rule nigher this year than laft. The corn crop still gladdens the hearts of its cultivators by its splendid promise, and two weeks more of favorable weath­ er should put the bulk of it beyond harm's reach. The deficiencies of Isst season's corn crop are beginning to be demonstrated to the discomfiture of a party in the market that sold for deliv­ ery at aa earlier date than new crop sup­ plies can be available.

A new crusade has been begun throughout the South which will lead to riot and bloodshed. It seeks the ex­ termination of Mormonism in the South­ ern States. Of late years the Utah sect has been gaining a foothold in the moun­ tain regions that alarms those who hold decided views in opposition to the polyg­ amous religion and the result is an ef­ fort to break up the congregations. Within ten days fifty elders have beea assaulted and driven from the places where they were preaching. Assaults on missionaries who are seeking con­ verts in the mountains are numerous. In Georgia and Kentucky Govs. Candler and Bradley have been appealed to to give the Mormons protection, but the ad­ ministering of decayed eggs, followed by tar and feathers, continues. President Rich, of the Southern Mor­ mon Mission, is hot after the perpe­ trators of outrages on the elders and their churches. He has already offered $500 reward for the capture of the men who instigated recent mobbings of Mor­ mons in Georgia, and as soon as he re­ ceives the authority from the head of the church, he will offer large rewards for the arrest ot the men who have been committing outrages in Eastern Ken­ tucky, especially in Fleming apd Bell Counties. He says the Mormon Church will spend $1,000,000 to keep the mis­ sionaries at work in the mountains. Perryville, Ivy., is Tull of Mormon elders, who are meeting with strong op­ position. They have been refused every public building in the city, and are com­ pelled to preach on street corners and in alleys. Several citizens have posted notices on their yard gates requesting Mormon elders to stay out of their homes. At least one hundred of these riders are in the mountains of Southern Kentucky and' Eastern Tennessee. Pyrotechnic Birds, Pyrotechnic birds are made In Nagasaki, Japan.
