HIGHWAY ROBBKItY CHARGED.
Charles Graham, 14 years of age, was
nrrested last evening on a charge of
highway robbery by Patrolman Saul.
The lad, who Is a bright boy, admitted,
upon questioning, that ho wns guilty
of the offense charged against him. He
will he given a henrlng this morning.
It seems that he deliberately went to
a carriage which was standing nar
the corner of Eighth street nnd West
Lackawanna avenue Sunday evening
nnd tnklng the whip from Its socket,
made oft with It. The outfit belonged
to Edward Curry, of this side, and his
little sister was sitting In the car
riage awaiting her brother's return,
he having absented himself for a few
minutes. The lad, who Is a son of
James Graham, of North Ninth street,
apparently does not realize the enorm
ity of the offense and only did it out
of pure mischief.
SPECIAL, SERVICES.
Special services were conducted Sun

School Time
And Headgear
It has often been said, with a Rood deal ol truth, that if the chil
dren's feet are well shod and their heads decently covered, the
rest of their outfit will easily pass muster.
The Question of Headgear
However, is often a puzzler to many a moiher. Of course, they
want Pretty Hats, Caps or Tarns, and they want beauty com
bined with lasting qualities and little outlav. This is a combina
tion not easily formed, but we've done it, "and we feel assured
that you will be more than satisfied with the result.
The Juvenile Headgear Show
Now in progress, will tell you at a glance how we accomplished
the fact of bringing prettiness, economy and durability together
in all sorts of new and charming ideas, for the variety of styles
shown is almost as great as the variety of forms and features in
the little men and women. This will add to their personal ap
pearance by wearing them.
The Children's School Headgear
Show, represents the best illustratisn ol the new military craze
for both boys and girls, the smart looking Clan Tarltan and Plaid
Effects, with or without feathers. Many new and common
sense ideas, and some very dressy creations that will at least
command your admiration.
Children's Headgear Prices, 25c Up
To $i.oo, $1.50 or $2.oo. Special display all this week,
in and take a look, at any rate.
Globe Warehouse
ducted the service which was opened
with prayer. Kcsponslvo readings,
recitations by the yotinger members,
nnd special song service formed the
service. At Its conclusion Mr. Craw

They were standing before a per
fumery shop In Hond street as I passed
them two young ladles ot manifestly
good society, so rollntd wns their np
pearanco and so perfectly correct their
tenue. I could not help halt turning
round, nnd who should they be but
that nrch-tease of n cousin of mine,
Sybil Vnno, and her bosom friend,
Gwen O'Hnra. It was Sybil that had
spoken and she had said:
"Fancy that little fool throwing her
self away on n man like that when sho
knows he only wants her for her
money'"
"What little fool anu what man?" I
nsked, as I raised my hat by way ot
apology for the intrusion.
"O, you men! You never know any
thing," said Sybil, when sho had re
covered from the shock my question
had evidently occasioned.
"Then tell me," 1 rejoined: "you
never have any secrets from me, you
know at least not for long."
"Why, Honor Eeattmont and Captain
Faulklner to bo sure."
"Are they engaged to be married?"
Ot course they are, and he hasn't n
penny while she has mil I Ions!"
"Why, he'r. a very handsome fellow,
and she is passable."
"They say he cheats at cards, that
he's In everybody's debt nnd Is noth
ing short of a mere ndventurer. And
yet Honor Beaumont hns accepted
him! I say It's really too bad of her!"
I had known Faulkiner for some
years, nnd I am bound to say I had
very little to urge In his defense. He
had never been actually caught in any
nefarious proceeding, but It wns
known that he had run through most
of his friends, that he was wonderfully
lucky at faro and that he was anxious
ly looking out for an heiress.
The wedding duly look place, and
nbout four months nfterward Captain
and Mrs. Faulklner were back In town,
apparently tho happiest couple to be
found in all Belgravla.
As for Faulklner he seemed com
pletely changed. There wns n manli
ness about him that one never noticed
before: his eyes wore a frank expres
sion that was truly refreshing to see.
He was clearly devoted to his wife, and
they seemed to perfectly understand
and trust each other. What could It
mean?
Gradually I not to really like Faulkl
ner. He made a splendid host, was a
pattern ot the domestic virtues nnd
Impressed one ns being the soul ot
honor. Our acquaintance finally rip
ened into a close friendship, and the
Intimacy developed until at length I
found myself how I know not on
terms of real confidence with the man
whom only a few months before I had
Inclined to look upon very much In the
light In which ho was regarded by mv
cousin Sybil. ,
One evening he expounded the mys
tery. "Shall I tell you tho story of my court
ship. Jack?" he asked.
"As you will, my dear fellow," I re
plied, "if it Isn't too sacred a subject
for h third party."
"That's Just it It is a sacred sub
ject, as you will see."
He lit a cigar nnd proceeded:
"All that the world thought nnd said
of me before I was muriied was true,
nnd more than true. It was a 'regular
bad lot.' And It Is true also that In
proposing to Miss Reaumont I wn.4
actuated by the most mercenary mo
tives and those alone.
"All that I wanted was her money
her money, Jack do you hear? Tho
world said so nnd the world was per
fectly light. I had plans as to what I
would do with It. My chief anxiety
was to prevent her getting any inkling
of the truth, and so I never ceased to
dance constant attendance on her and
especially to withdraw her as far as
possible from her lady friends. All
went well until one evening at the VII
lers' ball, she took me on ono side,
saying:
" 'Fritz' she nlways called me Fritz
rather than Frank 'I want to speak to
you.'
" 'What Is It, darling?'
PORTO RICO LETTER.
Sent to Thomas Cosgrove, of West
Scranton, by John Byrne, of the
Volunteer Engineers.
Hotel Keeper Thomas Cosfrrove, of
North Main avenue, West Scranton,
recently received rt letter from John
liyrno, a young man who formerly
hoarded with him. Mr. Byrne Is now a
i.rlvato of Company II, First regiment,
United Stntes Volunteer Engineer
corps. The corps is now stationed at
Ponce, Porto Kico, and It was from
thnt point the letter came.
It came without postage and was
mailed at Military station No. 1. Aug.
2S, and countersigned by L. I. Gillespie.
Ilrst lieutenant and marked as a "sol
dier's letter." Private Byrne is a
Tunkhannock boy and his parents still
reside there. He Is an interesting
writer and his observations ure
graphically recorded. Ills letter In
part follows:
Friend Tom I was very tired when 1
landed In I'orto lttco. We hud a very
nice trip, only crowded for room, thero
being 1,X men on board und &U mules.
We were not used very good on the ship,
though the only thing I suffered for was
wutcr. 1 pul-l 15 cents for one iiuart. and
It was very hard to get It nt uny price.
The only thing I blamo the oltlccrs for
wus not giving tho men the Ice and fruit
that tho Now York Journal and World
furnished. They gave thirty tons of Ico
and sotno fruit. I don't know how much,
but the only thing that tho company 1
am In received was thirty-live pounds of
Ice.
Tho fresh meat that was on hoard whb
let spoil und thrown overboard, and somo
of thu soldiers claimed to be hungry. I
can't cny I was hungry at any time, for
I am getting plenty to eat und lots to
drink now. Tho water hero Is very good,
out they won't let us drink It until
boiled, unless wo can steal 11, hut thry
aro giving plenty to eat and coffee to
drink.
Well, Tom, I will try and tell you tho
best I can about this Inland. We aro
camped near tho city of Ponce, along thi
Mllatlng road loading from the poit of
Ponce to the city. The city of Ponoo
has 3.X0 Inhabitants, it is a very beau
tiful country nnd every thing grows hero
but wheat
There aro lots of cocoanuts and ha
nunns growing around the cump ground,
and the palm trees and sugar plantations
look very nice out from the coast. Thern
are very large mountains and plenty of
pinall stream around the Island. This
Is tho rainy season hero and it rains
every day. The weather Is very warm.
1 think there aro a great rr.nny here now
tf
nx
A
" 'You nre not to call mo darling any
more till this matter Is cleared up.'
" 'What matter, dear?'
" 'Just this. People nre saying that
you aro marrying me merely for tv
money; Is that so?"
" Of course not. I love you for
self-'
" 'Stop, stop! I am going to put j
to the proof. Yon know my solicit n
Mesrrs. Hopkins and Dicey, in I.in
coin's Inn?'
" 'Yes.'
" 'Well, meet mo there tomorrow at
noon sharp, and now, good-night!'
"In n moment she was gone. I passed i
n sleepless night, nnd with grent dilli
c.ulty nerved myself in the morning to
keep the mysterious appointment.
"Old Dicey I call him that becnuso
he Is now ono of my dearest friends
received me coldly.
" 'I have been favored, Captain
Faulklner,' he said, 'with some very
extraordinary Instructions from my
client your Pancee Miss Ueaumont. I
must entirely disclaim all responsibili
ty in tho matter: I have simply given
effect to Miss Beaumont's wishes, and
tho final Issue of them must rest en
tirely with yourself. If you please we
will go to tho adjoining room." where
Miss reaumont nwalts us.'
"We found her seated near a win
dow; sho did not rise, but simply
bowed, nnd I saw that her faco was
pale, nnd that It wore an expression of
apparent enforced calm.
" 'Fritz, I told you last nlnht that
people nre saying you are marrying
in" merely for my money. It matters
little to mo now whether they speak
tiuth w not. If they do, then, whether
or not you become my husband, Is the
light gone out of my llfo Indeed. You
know, Fritz, how I love you! If you
have done this cruel thins, nothing enn
undo It now. If you have designed
to beggar me under the pretext of af
fection, fortune or no fortune, husband
or no husband, can make no difference
to me. Hut it shall never bo said that
you actually did marry mo for my
money, und so, Fritz, I have nslted
Mr. Dicey to draw up a deed, which
which' and here the poor darling
broke down completely and could say
no more.
" 'The deed, Captain Faulklner.' said
Mr. Dicey, with frigid solemnity, 'is nn
uncommon ono; I know Indeed of no
preredent. Hut it recites thnt In con
sideration ot Captain Francis Arthur
Faulklner of the Second Life Guards
releasing Miss Honor Ueaumont ot
Hurtsfleld house. Hertfordshire, from
her engagement to marry him, the said
Miss Honor Reaumont herewith makes
over to the said Captain Francis Ar
thur Faulklner all her real nnd per
sonal property, as scheduled herewith,
save and except the residence known
ns "The Grove," Isleworth, In the
county of Middlesex, nnd ns much of
her Midland debenture stock as will
suffice to provide an annuity of 300 a
year.'
"I turned half mechanically to
Honor. She was still calm and pale,
but her eyes were brimful of tears.
" 'It Ir. Impossible!' I exclaimed and
just at that moment something seemed
to struggle within me. for out of the
depths of my sinful heart thero came
welling the tiny, feeble remnant of the
llttlo good It ever held.
"I felt as If I could give not only
love but life to that noble woman who
had proposed to herself this mad, this
fenrful sacrifice In order to put to
proof the sincerity of the man she
loved. Dlsrcgaidlng the presence of
the man of law I clasped her In mv
arms, and we yes, Jack, we wept to
gether. "I treasure now that sacred parch
ment which awakened to new life the
little good that was left In me which
aroused tho deadened senEe of unselfish
love, and gave me riches grenter than
my villainy had ever dreamed of. Do
you wonder, Jack, that I am a changed
man?"
And that was the sequel of the con
versation In Bond street. London

who will never see the states again, for
they are not tough enough to stund thu

a great many of them on the slcic list
now.
We are doing nothing yet, and we Know
very little of what Is going on as far as
tho war with Spain Is concerned. Thero
1h no sign of any Spaniards around only
a few that come In nn-. gave themselves
up.' I saw them last week. Thero are
1CI of them, and they aro very young
and half-starved, and their clothes aro
very poor. They aro guarding them In
a barracks In the city of Ponce.
Tho only thing we havo to watch Is
hands of Oucrrlllns from the mountain.
They havo came down nnd bothered some
of tho camps, hut It didn't amount to
anything. They wounded some of them
and took the rest prisoners.
I don't know whether General Miles Is
going to tako this regiment or not. Somo
say that wo nre going to San Juan, and
somo Bay to New York. In fact I don't
know nor I don't think any of tho pri
vates know anything about where or
when they aro going. Tho Nineteenth
light nrtlllery, of Illinois, Is camped on
our left, and tho Sixth Masachusetts Is
on tho right.
Thero were two Spanish spies shot ho?a
Monday evening. It Is claimed thnt they
poisoned somo regular soldiers. The na
tives here, outsido of the city, nre very
poor and they llvo In small, one-story
huts. Men und women all nmoke. They
enn speak no English hut they nre vcrv
friendly with tho soldiers, who are
camped here.
There uro somo very large coffee plan
tntlons around here. You can exchange
American money here nnd get $1.75 for
every dollar. I will try nnd tell you more

"You may not believe it. gentlemen,-'
said ore of tho group who, having dined
ut a free lunch counter, were smoking
their clgurs In front of a hotel. 'Von
may not believe It. but I have used a
fountain pen constantly for four years
and havo never hud thu least trouble
with it."
"That's remarkable," said another.
"Still, I am the father of six children
nnd neer hud-to walk the floor at night
with a single one of them."
Thero was sllenco for u minute or two,
and another spoke up.
"I don't doubt It," ho said, "for I can
testify to something strangor still. I havo
a bright little 4-yeur-ohl boy at my house
and 1 never told any of his smart salnga
to my friends."
"Uentlemen," remarked a fourth, nfter
a painful pause, "I cm fond of hearing
young women practice their scales on tho
piano after 1 havo retired to rest. Jt lulls
mo to sleep."
Ono or two other persons In tho group
mude feeble attempts to say something,
but gavo It up. It seemed to he felt that
this rrurhed the limit.
