[Ortilral.]
Prank and 1 conelud«>d to spend our
honey moou In Washington. We want
ed to Inspect that beautiful city ami
MHI and hear the prominent men as
sembled then'. We gave up the llrt»t
few days tw alghtaeelng, then spent
our time tn the senate chamber and
houae of representatives. 1 was much
impressed with the dignity of the sen
ators, and some of the repreaeutatlvea
agamed to me to l«e very bright men.
Ibe isst day we were lu Washington
found me <julto fatigued. 1 had been
at the hull of representatives all day,
n tnrr« M dls< usslon on the tariff was
iiotng on.and I was inn verted from
one fide to the other a doaeu time#.
About 4 o'clock In the afternoon we
weut to the hotel, and Frank left me
that i might take a rest before dinner.
In the evening we were to visit soma
pla.-e of amusement. Prank hud
acarcely gone out before I heard a

the look next door Some one entered
the roout, und as there was a door l>e
tween the two rooms I could hear very
plainly. A man's voice said
Belinda. get up. IH> you prupnw to

aware that In political life a wife haa
a l*tit to I'lay as well as the husbund?

Then a woman's voli-e:

Iher** was no reply to this. The man

Oh. dear! Are Frank nnd I ever
corning to speak T<» one another like
this? And what a fraud polltieul life
must he.after all!
"Belinda!"
it wa» the man next door again I
wished they would go out. I had no

clowt, for her voice was mult led, but I
could hear It distinctly.
"Vou my lord and master! You'd
make a U'autiful lord, and as for a

Constituents You wouldn't dure com

I'll rap you over the head, you ole

' You're no sort of a lord, and you're

I hearJ one blow and ik cry and cov

lu iviigress When I took the clothes
a*a> from my ears the mac was hum

there i ame a sob from the woman, but
he paid no attention to It, and ahe
seemed to be cr>ing herself aaleep.
I could nut realize that the gentle
men 1 had seen during the day at the

evidence of it. Just think! In this

THE POISON MAIDEN
[Original!
"India Is a strange country, I fun
ry," remarked an American to a Brit
ish officer in a London military club.
"You would think ho it' you spent ail
much time there as I have."
"I have heard that the Indians'
knowledge of poisons would make the
Borgia* appear ignoramuses on the j
subject."
The Britisher shuddered. The other,
•eelng that he was affected by some re
membrance connected <vith poisons,
after an effort persuaded him to tell it.
"Yes, It is a story of poison, a story
the main feature of which I would uot
believe until I had l>een Invalided
home and k>oked it up lu the London
medical journals. Then, and uot till
then, was 1 convinced.
' I was stationed in one of the inte
rior Indian |>osts where there was a
reigning prince who kept his jiosltlon
by chicanery and where the priests
maintained their ascendency by the
same means. We had a little ensign
named Adams with us, a pretty, black
eyed boy who was brimful of deviltry.
One day the prince sent our colonel an
Invitation for the officers to come up to
his palace und have afternoon tea. We
all went, and after 'tea,' during which
some of us drank more wine than tea,
Adams especially, we were taken Into
the private apartments where the wo
men were kept and suffered to mingle
with them <julte freely, considering wo
were in India and the home of an In
dian magnate. When we Rot back to
our quarters Adams con tided to mo
that he had had an impromptu affair
with a young Indian girl; that he had
seized ati opjiortunlty when unobserved
to lead her Into an apartment tilled
with tropical plants and, concealed by
the enormous leaves of one of them,
had kissed her. Just as they were
leaving the apartment they heard a
rustle behind them, anil the girl had
turned ghastly pale. In another min
ute they had separated. This was all
there was of It; not very much, one
would think, to worry about, but Ad
ams was much troubled, and 1 confess
1 didn't like the proceeding myself.
"'You are in no danger,' I said con
solingly. 'No Indian will be allowed
to take revenge on a British officer.'
" It Is for the girl I fear,' he said
lugubriously.
'"lf you arc discovered and the mat
ter Is reported to the prince I think
he will show his malignity by his fu
ture bearing toward us. Indeed he
may bring the matter before the colo
nel.'
"'We shall see,' said Adams. 'Keep
dark. You're the on y man I've told.'
"No "Message came from the prince.
Indeed on a return visit he made to our
quarters by invitation of the colonel he
bore himseif with v' r,, at friendliness.
Seeing Adams puss, he remarked ad
miringly upon his attractive appear
ance, as every one did. and asked to
have him especially presented. He
chatted so affably with the youngster
that Adams felt sure he had had no In
timation of the meeting in the con
servatory. 1 saw them talking to
gether. and it seemed to me that the
wily Indian was looking down on
Adams with a singular expression—an
expression I did not exactly like.
"However, that seemed to end the
matter, and I gradually forgot It
Adams heard that the was In her
usual condition in the palace and
ceased to worry about her. Then, when
we changed stations, ail suspicion that
Adams would have to suffer for his
Indiscretion was removed. He was as
ready for another affair as before, and
only an opportunity was wanting.
"On arriving at our new station the
native ruler of the province enter
tained us at his palace. I feared that
Adams might get into another scrape,
so I kept an eye ou him. I tried to
get him to promise me that he would
not, and especially that he wouldn't
drink any wine, for wine made his
tneautlon absolute recklessness. Hp
would promise nothing, and I knew
that there was such a fascination for
him In danger that I resolved to watch
him all the closer. I never let him out
of my sight till a servant came to me
and told me the host wished especially
that I should l>e presented to him. I
left Adams In an apartment opening
into a dimly lighted garden, begging
him to remain where he was till I re
turned. This he promised to do. I
was presented to the host, who de
tained me some time asking questions
about our artillery service, in which ho
appeared to be much Interested. A*
soon as I could get away from him I
returned to the room where I had left
Adams. He was not there. Ltsiklng
Into the garden I saw a patch of uni
form among the plants and followed
the man who wore it. Just before I
reached him I saw that he was Adams.
He was leaning over a richly dressed
Indian girl. I hastened on, but be
fore I could Join them Adams turned
and their lips met In a kiss.
"I stood as if petrified. if they were
watched it would be too late for me
to save them. Adams seemed uot In
clined to take his Hps away. Presently
he sank slowly to the floor. I rushed
op to him. He was dead."
The narrator paused aud took a long
sip from a glass of brandy and soda.
Then he finished his story:
"There was a sensation when I hur
ried to the colonel and reported what
I had seen. We took the body to quar
ters, and the surgeon placed a piece of
paper <llpp«-d In some chemical agent
on the Hps and reported that Adams
had been poisoned.
"Now comes w hat you will not be
lieve The glri who kissed Adams was
a poison girl, f»-«l on a certain poison
from birth till she was saturated with
It. She was In the service of ths
prince whom Adams had offended "

A DELIGHTFUL SUMMER OUTINfi
The Steamer "Cape May" Carries Thousands to
the Ocean —Cool Cape Hay Attracts I hose Who
Want to Enjoy a Delightful 200-Mile Sail
Down the Delaware River and Hay—Points
of Interest Along the Route.
"Off to Cool Cape May!"
That's th« hot-weather cry of thousands who every Hummer take a day
off and aboard the magnificent and commodious excursion Steamer "Cape
May" journey down (he historic Delaware River and Kay to the Grand At
lantic. where they disport themselves for several hours in the billows that
roll upon the finest beach in the world, or they divide the time inspecting
various places of interest before the Steamer starts homeward.
This trip to Cape May has become famous. The Steamer "Cape May'
is the only steamer out of Philadelphia that makes daily trips to the ocean,
returning early each evening. The "Cape May ' is a luxuriously appointed
boat The owners have provided for every comfort and convenience of the
passengers. There are steamer chairs and comfortable couches on the
main deck, and a number of staterooms for those who want to enjoy com
fortable repose during periods of the trip The officers and attaches aro
thoroughly experienced and seek to give the passengers all attention to as
sure a pleasant trip, free from any annoyance whatever.
No disorder is permitted on the steamer. Ladies unattended and ( hit
dren are especially looked after, so that they may feel assured of a de
lightful outing.
How the little ones enjoy these trips to Cape May! They never for
get it. The roomy decks form one vast play ground. Then there are
games and innocent amusements especially provided for them. There is
an excellent orchestra aboard, and at times during the day and evening the
young people gather on the main deck aft and enjoy a lively waltz or two
step, while their,elders look on and recall the days when they were younrj
and enjoyed the merry dance. On Sundays sacred concerts are given by the
orchestra.
A FLOATING HOTEL.
The Steamer "Cape May" is really a modern hotel afloat. The appoint
ments already referred to are equal to those of the first-class hotels. F'ut
the "Cape May," like best hotels ashore, provides sumptuously for the in
ner man." The palatial dining room below decks is provided with a num
ber of small tables presided over by competent waiters The Steward and
caterers in charge know their business, as all attest who have partaken of
an appetizing breakfast served as the steamer starts on the trip, or a full
course dinner served from 11.10 A. M.to 1 P. M. The suppers, especially
the fish suppers, on the return trip are famous. Then, UKI, there are lunch
counters at convenient places oa the boat; also, oyster bars and ice cream
parlors. Only the best of edibles and delicacies are served at very mod
erate cost
To feed the "Cape May's" passengers requires supplies of meats, fruits,
vegetables, fish and oysters in immense quantities. Often there are 2500
people aboard—and the stirring breezes and invigorating salt air certainly
are appetite producers. The supplies for the dining room and lunch count
ers are taken aboard each morning and the perishable fruits and provisions
are stored in mammoth refrigerators in order that they may be served in the
very best condition.
New Jersey and Pennsylvania farms and dairies furnish the very best
fruits and vegetables and purest and richest milk and cream. Cape May
oyster beds are drawn on Tor finest oysters. In summer time, the Cape May
Baits are the epicurean's delight. Fish, fresh daily from the ocean, are
taken aboard at the Cape May Steamboat Landing.
Few people stop to consider the immense quantities of supplies, involv
ing a large expenditure of money, that are required to feed such a great
throng of people as patronize the "Cape May" day after day. No city hotel
feeds so many people in a single day.
DOWN THE RIVER AND BAY.
The "Cape May" covers 200 miles every day. The course is 4own the
Delaware River and Bay, along which are many points of interest, not to
mention e; pecially the interesting display of vessels, from every quarter of
the globe, at anchor or under way up and down the river.
Points ot interest especially worthy of note are League Island Navy
Yard, where there are always several of Uncle Sam's war vessels in sight;
Fort Mifflin. Chester. Wilmington, New Castle, long famed for its whipping
post; Fort Mott. Fort Delaware, Iteedy Island, the Government Quarantine
Station; Ship John Light, Cross Ledge I.ight. and the great jetties under
construction by the \7. S. Government. At Cape May Landing there Is a
large excursion house where passengers may enjoy entertainment and re
freshment. Or the trolley cars may be taken for a ride along the coast to
Sewell's Point, where there is another large excursion house with theatre
attached, where high class vaudeville performances are given during the
season On this trip the charming city of Cape May will be passed and then
for 2V 2 miles the route is along the ocean front of the Cape May Real Estate
Company's property, where work is progressing for the making of a New
Cape May and the most superb seaside resort in the world. The property
comprises 2,000 acres, providing 7,500 building sites. This development is OT
iuch a stupendous scale that it's worth looking into.
The "Cape May's" passengers who prefer to remain at the landing en-
Joy the excellent bathing on the splendid beach, where there is perfect
■afety for children and the enfeebled.
The "Cape May" starts on the return trip at 3.15 P. M., reaching Phila
delphia early in the evening. The cost of this 200 mile trip is only SI.OO,
and it's the greatest outing for so llt'le cost anywhere in the world. The
office of the Company is at 101 Arcade Building. Philadelphia, where full
Information may be secured. The "Cape May" leaves Pier 3, foot of Chest
nut St.. daily (including Sunday) at 730 A. M. When you write to the
Company mention the

Most Delightful of the Season.
Autumn is about to make its official
appearance, and it lias already appear
ed in reality. Though it lias been de- j
scribed as- the season of tin* sere and
yellow leaf, it is. ordinarily, the most
delightful of the seasons in this lati
tude. Not infrequently it yields weeks j
of pleasant weather, cool, bracing
mornings and sunshiny days that invite ;
outdoor lite. The summer that is i
ending has been peculiar. Its vagar- !
ies have been more numerous and
marked than any of recent years. It
was preceded by an abnormal spring.
It may be succeeded by a strange fall,
though it may be hoped the brown ;
October days will be spared for those
who have postponed their outings to i
take advantage of tiiem.

A Surprlned Bore.
The Into Justice Carter of the sn
preme court of the District of Colum
bia used to relate an Incident of a Phil
adelphia man who called at the White
House so frequently and took up so
niuch of rresident Lincoln's time that
the latter finally lost his patience. Cue
day when the gentleman was particu
larly verbose and persistent and re
fused to leave, although he knew that
Important delegations were waiting,
Lincoln arose, walked over to a ward
robe In the corner of the cabinet cham
ber and took a bottle from a shelf.
Looking gravely at his visitor, whose
head was very bald, he remarked:
"Did you ever try this stuff for your
hair?"
"No, sir; 1 never did."
"Well," remarked Lincoln, "I fcdviae
you to try It, and I will give you this
bottle. If at first you don't succeed
try, try again. Keep It up. They say
It will make hair grow on a pumpkin.
Now take It and come back In eight or
ten months and tell me how It works."
The astonished Philadelphia!! left the
room instantly without a word, carry
ing the bottle In his hand, and Judge
Carter, coming In with the next dele
gation, found the president doubled up
with laughter at the success of his
strategy. Before ho could proceed to
business the story had to be told.—
"The True Abraham Lincoln "
The Snake'* Whittle.
I found myself somewhat muddy and
breathing a little hard, but I was not
wholly chagrined. I had heard and
seen a black snake whistle. 1 had never
even known of the habit before. Since
then I have seen one oUier snake do It,
and 1 think I have heard the sound
three or four times, it Is almost Inde
scribable. The jaws were closed as It
was made, not even the throat moving,
that I could sec. The air seemed to be
blown violent 1\ through the nostrils,
though sounding as if driven through
the teeth a shrilling hiss, fine and
piercing, which one not so much hears
ns feels feels It crisping cold along his
nerves. It may seem strange, but 1 be
lieve this whistle is a mating call. Even
the forked tongue (or maybe the nose)
of it snake grows vocal with love. Dal

Society it iml F volutloa.
"Society" is a comparatively recent
and almost local phenomenon Its an
cestor in Europe was feudalism th«
fighting men, the natural arlstoerut-y,
on one side and their victims and serf*
on the other. Today, the truders and
hucksters, grown rich, occupy the .-a*
ties of their late Iciron masters and
sport their titles, though a remnant of
the genuine nobles still survive*, terri
ble examples of what happens to a gen
eration that has outlived Its err But
the physical force regime, while It lust
ed, stood on a sounder anil Juster foun
dation than docs the money power at
present In possession, and the latter
will hardly last as long as the former
did. It is, I repeat, comparatively lo
cal as well as recent. It could exist
only In countries given np as are thos«*
of Europe anil America to Industrial
ism. Nevertheless lie- world may still
offer living examples of society in all
Its stages, from the most primitive to
that which now passes. Africa and
Asia has e-u-h its social organization,
and so hnve the Marquesas. Patagoulu
