Harrisburg, Pa., February 0, 1897. : On Tuesday, when the old capitol of ] Pennsylvania was completely burned ti the ground, not a thing was saved but some records. The house was in session at the time the lire was discovered, while the •senate had adjourned for half an hour. The lire originated in the roof over the senate chamber, what was the cause is not known. While the fire was going on the big American flag proudly floated at the top of the pole, until the fiery ele ments burned oil the rope, when the wind carried it nearly a block away. When it was announced in the house that the capitol was on fire, some treated it as a joko, but when shortly after there was a terrible explosion from a burs ted gas pipe, the members realized that it was only too true, and quickly retreated. The loss to the state is carefully estimat ed at $500,000. The Insurance is SIOO,- 000. The Cirace Methodist church, within a good stone's throw of the old capital building, has been secured for the reg ular sessions of the legislature until a new building is erected. The building is two stories high with numerous addition al rooms at the rear. The senate will occupy the second story room, which is large and can be nicely fitted up, while the house will occupy the main auditori um. In my last letter I made brief men tion of a skirmish between the Quay and anti-Quay forces in the house over a resolution to investigate the state treas ury. Another round was fought last week and the Quayites came out ahead. The aiTair, at this early period of the session, demonstrates that the factional feeling is growing and is likely to become very bitter as the time passes. Bills have been presented in the senate making it unlawful to tear down or mutilate flags on public or private buildings; to preserve the water supply at the sources of the rivers of the state; to secure uniformity with other states in the observance of Memorial and La bor days; to require tbe retention by employers of alions sums sufficient to pay the taxes assessed against them; authorizing justices of the peace to im pose sentences upon convicted persons with the aid of a jury, and making con stables of townships ex-officio lire war dens for the forest fires. Senator White has presented a resolu tion on the subject of congressional, senatorial and representative apportion ment. Mr. White tried to have this ap portionment bill passed last session but was defeated by the order of Quay. Another act is to insure greater safety in theatres by prohibiting persons from standing in aisles and lines a manager SIOO and thirty days in jail for selling tickets with standing privileges. An act to prevent the bleeding of candidates for office is also on the list. Bills read in the house are as follows: Reducing the maximum rate of tax allowed for township purposes, from one cent to three mills on the dollar; an act to en large the competency of the wife to testi fy against her husband; also, an act re lative to actions by parents and child for injury to the persons wrongfully inflicted on the child; no license for the sale of liquor shall be granted to a school director and no liquor dealer shall be elected school director; making it a misdemeanor for any life insurance company to insure a minor under twelve years of age. Nissley. Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoria. Suits and overcoats and gents' furnish ings of all kinds reduced. Geo. Slppel. DECEIVER EVER. BY GWENDOLEN OVERTON. Carey Churchill Carter Clianning, first lieutenant, Nth cavalry, died sc long ago that most of his story is for gotten, though it was a very great won der at the time. Everybody connected with it is dead also—his mother and the other two women —and so many first lieutenants have filled his place since then that no one's heart is likely to be wounded by repeating it. He was a superb great fellow—as all (the men in his regiment were said to be in thcee days—of the big, blonde, and •brave type, knowing neither fear noi failure, and his fascination was some thing that has become a tradition in the service. So many girls—aye, and mar ried women, too—had loved him that the shores upon which he had touched were strewn with wrecks. The hearts of all those women hud been broken, actually broken, not just dented a little, as is usually the cose in such affairs; their lives were openly ruined, yet Channing kept himself free of blame. Not one could say "he should have done thus 01 so," he never committed hjmself, he never acted in a compromising fashion in the presence of a third person. But the women who ran insanely onto the desert of disillusion, followed the elus ive pillars of the smoke of his words and the fire of his looks, never again passed bf yond into the land of content across the wilderness. They despised them selves in that pitiful fashion that wom en have, but they loved him always— for such is the way of their kind. It had been his good fortune to have dealings only with women who either thought of him alone, forgetting them selves, or with those too gentle to de nounce him. Then, too, he hnd man aged well; there was never any definite proof. Hut in the early summer of 'BS, the pitcher that had been carried ninety-nine times to the well narrowly 1 escaped being broken. The bride of Capt. Morton, having seen fit, with due encouragement, to fall in love with him, threatened to be come unmanageable. She was a most wonderfully attractive, feminine little thing, but. she was neither of the self- : Immolating nor of the concealing sort. Having lost her heart, she lost her head, j and Channing was in much, danger of having his methods exposed. His captain advised him: "Channing, 1 you'd better take a leave and get out for a bit." "Why?" "Well, it's a delicate subject, but , Morton's an old friend of mine, and 1 don't want to see his wife disgrace , him." "But what have I done? lam as in nocent as a baby; and besides I think you are mistaken." * "We all exonerate you. It's not your fault; but lam not mistaken. It's evi dent to the whole post. Take my ad vice and go see your mother like a duti ful son." Channing was flattered, but he was also frightened; nevertheless, he was undecided. There was a hop there that same night. Mrs. Morton was there, and it was her actions that determined Chan ning to take Capt. Lytton's counsel. She was already in thehoproom talking to the latter when Clianning appeared, ; and the moment she saw him, standing tall and graceful and indifferent in the doorway, she grew so white that the whole room noticed it, and she trem- ! hied, visibly. She realized her paleness and knew that Capt. Lytton's quick movement to put himself between her and the watching eyes had been una vailing. Her own soft eyes filled as she raised them piteously. "YOll see what a spec- ' facie I am making of myself. I can't help it. I've tried hard. There's nothing for it but to go away or break | down." "Poor little girl! Come away, then." j "If you will just take me home, and tell Dan 1—" she stopped, losing the thread of her words, for Channing was approaching. Capt. Lytton offered her hie arm. "Come, quickly," he said. "Just wait a minute, please—just till I tell Mr. Channing I can't stay for our | dance." She had flushed up and her eyes were brilliant. She put out her hand to Channing, drew it back, and again stretched it forth, confusedly. He took it and pressed it—yes, she was sure he pressed it, almost. "The third you promised me, wasn't it?" "Yes, I think so," she answered. Capt. Lytton turned on his heel and walked away. At the end of the third dance, while they strolled together up and clown the line, Channi.ng experimented to see how far she would go. To his conster nation he found that she would stop at nothing short of blazoning he?* infatu ation from the housetops. A scandal was not what Channing wanted. He was very gentle with her, but she wept end said all manner of foolish things, until Capt. Lytton came upon them and took her home. Very soon after this the lieutenant | went on to visit hislmother. She was a ' Virginian, of the conventional poor but proud order; and she lived on what hod once been the kitchen-garden of the family estate. Quito as often as not. she was on the point of hunger, when there was no demand for the needle work of her quivering old fingers. Her son did not contribute to her support. "All of my beggarly pay, and more, too, goes *0 keep up appearances. My regiment is great on esprit de corps. I'd like awfully well to help you, moth er, but 1 must hold up my end of the row. lam n Channing." And she loved him all the better. While he was with her in the summer of *BS, through sheer lack of excite ment he became enamored of a certain Anna TrafPord. lie asked her to marry him—quite the Jast thin/* he would have J expected himself to do—and sbe, being | completely fascinated, consented with out even a decent amount of hesitation. It wv~ s " 1,11 * r v MRS. JOHN R. TANNER. is made of the same material as the wedding gown. It conies nearly to the knees and is lined with pale-yellow silk. It is trimmed with white ostrich 'eathers and is edged with a double plaiting of the veiour and silk. It is tied at the throat with broad ribbons of moire. The "going-away" gown is a tailor made costume of royal blue broad cloth. The skirt is round and very wide at the feet, where it is finished with a narrow band of Persian, lamb. The bodice, which is slightly pointed, is braided down over the bust in black. The coat to be worn with this is a Frenchy little box affair of blue broad cloth. Jt is trimmed in marten tails and Persian lamb, and the latter fur lines the great rolling collar. The whole costume, gown and coat., is lined with a green and blue brocade. The hat to be worn with this is smaJl and close and is trimmed with pnrndise feathers which droop backward over the ears. Among the other gowns in the trous seau are a dinner dress of pale-green satin brocade, American Beauty velvet, and pale-yellow mousseline de soie. The bodice of this has a modish bolero, bor dered in silver bullion trimmed, and quaintly puffed sleeves which meet the low-cut shoulder. The skirt of this gown is cut with a short train. The inauguration ball gown, which in matter of interest comes next to the wedding gown itself, is of white moire veiour. MALACHIAS ORMANIAN. Tli New Armenian Patriarch Is Haiti to Be a Great Scholar. Mgr. Malachias Ormanian, the new Armenian patriarch of Constantinople, whose i>ortrait from a photograph tuken recently, is printed here, was elected as the successor of Mgr. Ismir lian by an almost unanimous vote of the general Armenian assembly on No vember 18, and was accepted by the sultan, after nearly a fortnight's de lay, on November 29. He had former ly been bishop of Arm ash. He is de scribed as a very ]>opulnr man, a fine scholar, being able to preach in four languages, and a moderate man in pol itics, equally acceptable to the Arme- MALACHIAS ORMANIAN. nian community and to the porte. The sultan's delay in con firming him, there fore, caused a great deal of uneasiness nmong the Armenians. He is the son of a Constantinople opotheenry, and Ju 55 years of age. He studied at the University of Rome, tak ing the degree of doctor of theologj', philosophy and canon law. He broke away from the Roman Catholic church | when the crisis came nmong the Ar i nieninns 20 years ago over the election of Bishop Ilassoun, who was later made n cardinal by Leo XIII., as patriarch of the Armenian Catholics, and entered the Gregorian community. lie was aft erward made bishop of Erzeroum, hold ing that see from 1880 to 1887; subse quently becoming professor of philos ophy at the Academy of Etcbmiadzin, and then becoming rector of the patri archal seminary at Arm ash and ab bot of the monastery of Our Lady t here. Animal Inatlnct at Fault. Many persons still believe that the instinct of animails preserves them from certain accidents, and that they never eat anything that is injurious to them. Well-instructed persons have long known that in this regard animals are no better off than men. A chicken does not hesitate to drink paint; a cow par takes of water in which bags contain ing nitrate of soda have been washed; ducks strangle and choke in iwallow- Ing snails. Hon. W. J.
