STORY FOR TO-DAY. Proud Madetine Joycel "Strawberries' strawberries' Very fine and fresh—lady, please buy! But Madeline Joyce, leaning from the open window, with her check idly supported on her hajid. shook her head. Xo, I don't wa,nt any. child." And the strawberry girl ped on. her clear shrill voice echoing fainter and fainter in the distance as she went. Madeline ga,zed a,fter her with sad. violet- grey eyee. "Poor and proud! proud a.nd poor'" sha murmured to herself: "Oh. heaven! why! was I not yonder ragged strawberry girl. or even the child who sweeps the erodings and earns an hoDeet penny now a.nd then! But now—now my hands are tied by mamma.'s absurd prejudices! Well, Beatrice, what is I it?" FcT her younger sister had come nooelesgly in-.a tall slip of & thing. like 00.0 of the graceful Sold lilies th.a.t grow in solitary plaices. "The. bill from the baker's, "Ancther bill!" with a.n impatient lift cf! the eyebrows. Did you tell the ma,n we had .no money, Be-a-triee?" "Wh.a,t. would have been the use, Maddy? Of course, I did not tell him." And mamma.?" She does not is reading in the pa.rl.our; she will not let me mejid the t.a.ble- c.lot.h; .fh.e &ays it is ;no.t work for ladiee. Oh, Ma<ddy. wht aha, we do!" Madeline rose a.nd began pa.cing impa- t.ien.t.Iy up a.nd down tbe room, her white slender ban da damped over her head. "Hush!" she cried, abruptly, "there is a. rMg a.t the bell. It is Mrs. Benj.amin a.ga,in. Go, tell her I a,m enga-ged—busy—gone out— a<nythin'g you please. No—sta.y—gtay! Per- haps I had better see her. aJteT a,ll." And Mtadeline went downstairs to the darkened room, where Mrs. Joyce ea/t in faded eilk ajid darned Lace. a. relic of the glorious pa.<¡t, with white, wasted ha.nds folded in her Ia.p, and a.a embroidered ottoman wnder her jfeet. "It is like a. dream." Madeline ea,id to her- s'clf. smiling impa,tienitly, as Mrs. Benjamin and her mother pra-ttL&d on about the current topics of the day. "And to think that there is nothing in the house for dinner! Perha-ps, Mrs. Benjamin will ask mamma, to dine. and Bea a.nd I ca.n send out for come biscuita. We can eat anything!" And through her disjointed medita-tions her mother's soft, sweet voice sounded, a.s voices sometimes sound, when one is half slOOPÎ11g, half a/wake. 'If) the Laks with you? My dea.r Mrs. Benja.min, you a;re very kind. I am sure. a.ud Ma,ddy inuft ase her own discretion a-bont accepting. Do you hear, darling? Mrs. Benjamin wants, you. to acconTpa.ny her to t.he Lakes as soon as she has secured a. governess for the dear Httl-s boys.

A governess? I think I know of someone, Mra. Bcnja.min, who will suit yon. if—if your terma a.M a.t a,il liberal." "Sixty pounds a. yea-r s,nd &il expanses paid, sa,id Mrs. Benjd-min. comp!acent!y.

"Oh, of course—of course. That iB, if mamma, approves ?" with a, glanco at the pretty, faded emgy of former gentility, who aa,t in the shadows beyond, as beutted her darned la,?e and. withered complexion. And Mrs. Joyce smiled faintly. ? "Eow ready the young birds are to ny a,wa.y ani leave the parent reet." she sighed. Well. it is but natural. I can hardly blame Maddy for being auxious to leave eo dull a. place as thic." ".Mamma." cried Ma-deline. paesionately, "it iB not that. Ob' ma,m-ma, it I could only tell you! And she hurried out of the room with a, choking gae-p in her throat. Mrs. did not like sne< 8he looked on with civil wonderment. But she understood it a.ll—a;fter a, 1-ittle while.

FAITH AND PRAYER.

The recovere-d perso.n claims this as a direct I answer to fervent and continued. prayer. In this case tt was pergonaJ prayer, there being no intermcdia-ry or revivalist concemfd. A young woman, na.med Olmen DaYi&s. daughtar of Mr. J. E. Daviis, a sorter a.t the Dun'ryn Tin-plate Works.

Wreck of the Chatham I BfGGEST EXPLOSION ON RECORD I The Chatham, which waa sunk in the St:-ez Canal on September 6, is to bo blown up. At the company's oaices in Paris it ia explained that every precaution a.gainst accident has been taken. The effects of the explo-aon nay be felt within a radius of nve kliometres. but outside that limit perfect security will rei?n. There will he no fear for any buildings, as tha ship id lying in. the mid?t of the desert. The canal itself must, suSer. but this has been provided for, and a-s soon as the explosion has taken place the work of repair will b- entered upcn. It will only la.:ót a few days. so that the interruption to trainc will be of brief duration. The Chatham is to be blown up on Thursday morning. On the previous day divers will lay in it. hold, which contains explosives, several cases of dynamite, which wiil be connected with a spot at some distan.cs by electric wires. Then, when the moment has come, the engi- neer of the Nobel Company will prc::<3 a button and the eighty ton? of dynamite w:il bs blown up. This will, as M? pointed out, be the bjg;2-,t cxpioKdon of the sort on record. The worst hithprto chronicled was the Sa.n- tauder catastrophe, twelve years ago, when 30 tons of dynamite stowed away in the bold of a ship blew up, killing 600 persons and wound- ing over 2,000 more. Of course, in this case the destruction Wa.3 immense, as the vessel was right in the harbour, and, moreover, a quantity of steel rails wa.? lying on its deck. The explosion will ba more formidable in the case of the Chatham, but, as remarked, it will take place well away in the desert, and after the a-doptiou of every possible precau- tion.

NEWPORT MMER ——— 0 1 PRISONER SENT FOR TRIAL. 1 Cooke in the Witness Box. SEVERE CROSS-EXAM!NAT!ON I The penultimate stage in the trail of the case for alleged wife murder at Newport, was reached to-day, when the prisoner, William Beava-n, was brought up on remand before the magistrates for examination o< witnesses to complete the case, so as to send it to the assizes, which will be held at Monmouth .n the middle of November Chi the bench the justices were the Mayor (Mr. R. Wilkinson), Alderman T. Canning, and Mr. T. Cordey. There wa& & la.rge crowd of spectators at the back of the court, but the police, as on former occasions, exercised a wise discretion in preventing anything like a, glut of people in and about the passages and &oor'of the coHrt hottae. Two of the rrisoner'g sisters occupied seats flanking the solicitors' ta.b!e. The accused. AVillia.m Beavan, was brought into court punctually at eleven o'clock, and was permitted by the magistrates to be seated during the proceedings. He exhibited the s<ame neat, clean, and placid appearance which had characterif-ed him. on the previous day at tba inquest. He followed the course of the oaao almost unmoved, as though he w'ro resigned to a great sorrow. Mr. Harold Pearca (fmm the Director of Public Prceocutions I)epartmeat of the Treasury) appeared to proseniÆ; Mr. Digby Powcll app€Arcd for tho defence. Mr. Harold P<*a.rce made a short statement in opening. He said the accused. William Beavan, was charged with maliciously and of malico aforethought killing ajid murdering hM wife, &-Lrah Ann B<3avan, on Sept&m&er 19 Though. sa.id Mr. Pea.roe, it waa a. very serious charge it did not present any great difficul-t-ies, Tbe fajcta wre simple. PrieoTier had been in South Africa, until a- few months ago. and the deceased (his wif) luui been living at with a man named Ccoke, Prisoner cam'e home on August 29, and took lodgings at the London Restaurant in Newport. He visited Cooke's house, and tli<: dec-ea&ed visited him at the rcstaura.nt, ,onlet:lm" in ('f)mp-any with one of her 8hi:d.r-en, Thc-re &e-em.ed to have been some discussion aa to how the parties were to go on in the future—whether the deceased womaji was to live with Cooke or return to her husband. On September 19 Mrs. Beava.n went to the restaurant with her little boy. aged ptx years, and had dinner with the prisoner about 1.30. After that, as was their custom, they went to the prisoner's bedroom, on the third nocr, and rema.ined there till about 4.50 p.m., when Mr. Mattick. the manager of the house, heard the woman s<Tea.m. He went out on to the landing, and saw the woman going (towTistairs Meeding from a wound in the neck. He sa,w Beava.n in his bedroom, and asked what he had done. Ha replied, t Have Cut Her Throat," and here is the razor. 'Mr. Mattick went for a- doctor, and the woman, going' down- stairs, fpU from the first landing into the anne of Mr. Henry Gatehouse, who had gone into the pa&-<e:?e, having' beea attracted by the screams. Pohcs-constab'e Hnsby, who was called in, went upsta-irs, and foartd the pri- soner in his shirt-fleeves. He asked him, "Where ie the man?" Prisoner reptied, I am the man.

Police- constable Banner-man in the meantime had the woman to the hospital. died by the time she rea<-hc<i there. A post- mortem examination was made by Dr. Lloyd. who found that she had a. wound on the left side of the neck s€Tcn and a. half inches long. ranging in depth from half an inch to an inch and a. half. Upon that evidence he (Mr. P€<a.roe) would ask th** ju&ticcs to com- mit the prisoner for trial on the charge of THE CHARGE I The clerk (Mr. Thomas Summers) formally read the charge of murder to the prisoner, who &aid nothing' in reply, and remained unmoved. Mr. Peafce thon called the -witnesses, who repeated the evidence which they gaA'e at the inquest on Monday. There was very little additional material crid'ence. Potice-conetable Henaby stated, in addition to tbe,3vidence which he gave before, that on Monday night, in company with Pouse-con- stable B-ünnerman, he went to 12, WHIian:- ptreet, and, with the permission of Cooke, searched the hour's. Oooke handed him a copy of the mrria.() certificate of Bcavan and his wife, and a'so a. document from the India Of&c<\ Whitehs. with refareBca to a remit- tance. Police-constable Bannerman gave, in reply to Mr. Digby Powell, a little additional evi- dence. He said he h?d heard that th' head- c.)nstab!e had reccivsd a !etter from the rr.ieoner whilst abroad asking him (the head. constable) to make inquiries abont his wife. InQniries were made, and a, letter was sent to Beavan in reply. GOOSE'S EVIDENCE.

There iMMt been some feeling entcrta.ined on account of -various matters. and the climax was now reached. There bad been a. powerful service, and a >collection was taiccn. A vo was passed by a Ia.rge majority tha-t some oOicia.Is in the bis &eat shonid not remain there. Several repre&eiQtatives of the cojigre- ga,tioji then went forward to assume chajrge of a.Sa.irs, but their a,ppea,ra.n<;o was resented by the oniciaJs already a-ctijog, and one of the latter seized the chapel ledger. A struggle took place for the ledger, and one eld mem- ber of the 4congregation received a. Mow. The congregation became fra.ntio. majiy jumping on the seats, the women being particularly excited. In the result, the chapel ledger was recovered by the new &eot.'ion. a.nd of&cials to wliom exception had been taken were vigo- rously conducted out of the building. The commTimon fxirvice was, under the untoward circumata-nces, postponed.
