Cltlei of the Xial Century. H'rom Our I.'ew York Correspondent. Colonel Albert I.k phaw, who, when United States consul to Mam hestcr, grined a wide lcputc, speaking of the development of cities in the next century, said: One of the greatest cities in the United States will Ik' lound to occupy the aiea be tween IhiU'alo and Niagari fulls. 1 think that early in tlie century there will be a city of 1,000,000 Inhabitants there. It will be one of tho greatest manufacturing cities in the world. It will include practieallytho city of Buffalo as well as the towns upon the holders of the Niagara river. This great city is to be developed through the capturing of the poucrof Niagaia falls, which even today is practically consum mated, and which from the time of the dis covery of this country has gone to wa-te. This water power is to be mainly ittili;:ed in the development of eleetrii ity, and both the Canadian and the American falls aro to bo made to serve this pui pose A power wiil be developed theio sufli lient not only to run all the engines neces lary to turn the wheels in as many factories as can bo located in this area, but als: nif f.cient to furnish the city of liutl'alo with light and with electiieity for domestic uses, and, I am inclined to think, may eon pro vide j lower and light for cities as far away as New York and Philadelphia on the cast and Cleveland and Cineirnati and Toledo nn tlio we.st. The capacity is practically limitless. lOvcn with the great plants now estab lished on the American side and with tiioso contemplated on the Canadian side only a (omparativcly small portion of this enor mous power is r.t ilked. It has (he advan tage of being not only cheap.but permanent. No drought will ever atlcct the Niagara falls, and tho cost of furnishing power w ill not be dependent upon the operations of capitalists who control the coal fieidsi. Already there are indications of the growth of this city. Manufacturers from i.U parts of the United states aro seeming lights there, and even liefoie the elo.-e of this century we shall le'o a considerable i ity established there. Kr.rly in tlie next i "litury I look to see a continuous manu facturing city extending from the Niagara liver to what ate now tlie outskirts of thu ut of Uullalo. Nature has done everything to favor this locality, and at la.-t science and capital are taking advantage of these natural tempta tions. My own opinion is that during tho next century thi- will become the greatest manufacturing ceutir m tlie world, and tnen now in the prime of life will see enough, I think, to justify me in this pre diction and before many cars have passed. .Junius Henri ISrciunu's rredletlon. I am and have always been a gieat be liever in America and everything America li. The form of government is ideal, and will eo doubt meet the requirements of its citi rensior generations if not for ages to come. The social and political condition of thu .ountry in lOOU will be, in my opinion, u mi'iked impiovement on what it is now. It wiil tend more and more to humanity, reason, fieedom and independence of tho Individual. .Socialism, which is in the air, tvill steadily grow heie in a modified and rationalized form. There will be more tqunlity in education, position and fortune. Thu republic will bu nioie than ever Jemocrati.id. The government will bu simpler. The railioads and telegraphs tvill in all piobability be owned by thu date and nianag'di-;cellently better than Ihey have been at any previous time. Legislation on the subject of temperance fill be more enlightened. There will belio ittcmpt. to enforce total abstinence, but ilieru will be less chinking and lar fewer imuKbups. Those that atu permitted will lu obliged to pay very high license und will e thoroughly regulated by law. Criminals will bo le-s severely punished md their number will htnu materially iimiuished. General education will liavi) ,'ieatly lessened crime. The divorce laws will bu tho same in all ihe states. Divorce will be fleer generally Ihnn at present, but allowed lor only a few', jioral causes among them nousupport, jisloynlty, crime, intemperance and tein-. jerameutal incompatibility. ' Wealth will bu more widely und eoually 1 I Istributed, and gi eat corporations and busi-. jess intciests will be conducted hannoiii jusly on the principle of tho cmplovees ind workers sharing in the profit". The I juullict between labor and capital will but lirgely settled In this way. aided by co (per.Uion. As a necessary icsiilt. tho la-' loring classes will be much less dependent. Food will be provided in the nest ccn ary at a low cost and without 'difficulty forourcn'lro population. Schemes tond-i vnnco the prices of tho necessities of lifj w ill have becomo so discouraged by public opinion as to bo no lornor practicable. Law will be simplified. Lawyers will have diminished, and their fees will havo been vastly curtailed. Tho principles of medicine will bu mot c generally and Intel ligently understood. Therowill bu much more dependence on untitle, than on drugs or physicians, who will have di creased. Theology, as such, will bu little taught lind will have almost no influence. Author ity will have no weight, and faith, ai le spectn dogma, will la- without esteem. Tho I'.octiine, then, will be deed, not creed.

I Train Oar New York CniTcs pendent.) Mr. Rum ii el Burton, who is a nephew of Commodore Vatideihitt and the broker who executed many of his orders when Jay Gould cud the creator of the Vandei bill fortunes weru engeged in a contest for tlio possession of tlio Uric railroad, in speaking of the duvt lopnicnt of tho United States in tlie next centuty, said: It is my opinion that therj is to lio a won derful development of the resources of tho i slate of 1 londa in the next centuiy. Our people do not mi'leistnnd what a Magnifi cent territoiy that is. It will Income not only tho great sanitcrium for tlie invalids of the ea-t. but my impression is will lie a rival with Nice and other Mediterranean districts for those v. ho seek tileasuiv and comfoit ill white r travel. Alieady some of thu eapitali-ts who have been attracted to that country are developing it by moans of railways. Ik'foru the beginnim: of tlie next century r. railroad w ill skirt tlio Atlantic shore al most as far down as tho Florida keys. Tills great subtropical tenitory will be as thoroughly crisscrossed by railways as am Home of thu states of tlie north. '1 think our pleasure seekers will discover that tho lower part ot Floriekv has as many tempta tions in thu winter season as have any of the winter resorts of Uurope, and I look to see the is.kvids in the Caribbean sea the le sort of tli'ise who seek fashionable pleas ures, for there they will find much greater natural beauties (lia:i arj to bu enjoyed on the shores of the Mediicir.meau, ami there is none of those distressing mistrals which sometimes make life miserable at theso Mediterranean ie..orts. I doubt whether the lower part of Flor ida will ever be drained so as to make that section available for agriculture, although almost anything ingoing to be possible in thu next cvnt ury. Completely to drain that would lequire tl u building of a ditch as deep and bro id as tho Mississippi river. Farther noitli, however, 1 think we shall find early in the next century the great sugar belt there completely under cultiva tion, and it is capable of producingmillions of pounds of sugar. Transportation lacilities will lie so in creased that tho or.'.npj elistiict, especially upon the east coast, will practically furnish tlio United .States all the oranges thu mar ket requires. Pines anil cocoa mils will ho grow ii in southern Florida to such an ex tent as to command the markets of this country, and t think I am not making a wild prediction when I say that in the next century the value of Florida to thu United States will be of more commercial impor tance than are some of the states in which uen bonanza mines have been discoveied. I'riifessiif Davitl SieliiK'h Clutis. It is almost certain that the United States will continue to advance in all tho next hundred jea'-i. The sunshine, rain and soil are constant quantities in tho sense that they seem quite secure for one more century. Coal oil and natural gas will no longer exist, but there will lie plenty of wood and coal. Theru will be food for all, but all tho great west and southwest will be settled a- densely as Germany, but Mex ico and Canada will then lie in tlio North American republic and will furnish homes, for many new millions. The American president w ill ho el cled for six or eight years cud will not be eligi ble' for a second term. Near t he close of the next century somu rare, noblewoman will be elected piesident of the United .States, liailway.s will be so leveled and straight- I eneil that slow freight trains will make 103 miles an hour, bin tlio best of passenger j trains will i tin VM mil . an houi. It is not i certain that steam will'hethe form of power. -New powers aio liable to be discovcreel. One cent a mile will be full fare. Considerable traveling will b? done by thu air route. Thu fact that air is an ocean which will Hoar, a man settles the ques tion of aerial navigation. Man is sim ply to invent thu kind of boat. It must lie very large and st rung. It must come. This boat may be guided lrom city to city by a wire strung about 100 feet above ground, so as to let the balloon pass over trees and houses. Thus a w iie one-quarter of an inch in diameter w ill hold and guidu many bal loons full of people. On account of last and cheap travel cities will become groups of suburbs, and all the pour will have air, sunshine and light. Suburban fare, twenty miles, will bu two cents, on what ate c.ilii'd zonotickels. The working people will all be share holders in the I. trm or factory w heie they work. They will simply draw dividends and will lose by nil strikes, hecansu thoy will strike against their own iutoicfit. I.itt ratine, the drama mid all life will bo higher and purer, because the incrcasu of common sense Implies an increase of all that is good. Dress of woman will be sim pler mid Ihe conduct, of men more hunor lible, tor each bundled years make man and woman less of a fool. The Christian church will rest wholly tpon thu words and life of Christ. Thu writers of tho liiblewill stand related to Christ only as valuable foieruuneis and missionaries of tho one gieat Chief. The church will bo a ast impulse anil guidu in nit, ethics, benevolence and woiship. Great calamities w ill comu in the form of pestiletiee, earthquakes and civil strife, but they will not much impede the progress of the tuition. Washington and Lincoln will still bo most honored names because no other two minds can ever again find two such taks to be petfornicel.

"I am very sony, l'Veil I had got to like the gill very much, and she has bee n vci y faithful 1 oher duties and a good sales woman and all that, but I cannot permit this pilfeiing to goon. It will lead tosome thltig worse before long. I think i)ie best, way to save her feelings will he just to tell her at the end of the week that we don't, require her services any longer, and in that way get quietly lid of her without any ! lect accusation, You know we took lie solely on her own recommendation, with out asking for au,Y references in fact, I'll do her the justite'to admit that she ir.iuk ly told us she could not furnish any, being a stranger in the place. "Hut this stealing lias been going on for a month now, an I as tar ns we can learn or find out she is the first one here in tho morning and is here alone long enough to give her an opportunity to help herself. Another thing 1 have noticed, and that in that she has had "e'veral little trinkets late ly which seem to me decidedly more ex travagant than a girl of her means could atl'orel to indulge in, unless the has come by them through such means as I begin to fear she is guilty of." Fred bit his lip and was silent. It would not huvelHped tho case at all for him to have tub I his father just then thai ho knew the source from whence -ho had derived thoe little gifts, which lie hail contrived to convey to her In such a way that s',ie won't! not be able to detect the giver and so return them, and which it h id alVorded him such delight to see her wear, little dreaming at tlie time t hat they would only serve as an additional means of strengthening suspicion against her. He had been only waiting a favorabieop portuiuly to speak toher of his feelings and assure himself of her sentiments, be fore' telling his father of tlio hopes he hail been cherishing, but before that opportu nity arrived this unexpected trouble and threatened disgra'v had cist n shadow over the lair name of the girl he secretly loved. "I'll stake my life, father, that she hasn't a trinki t about her but what is honestly come b,'' ho exclaimed, after u moment's embarniised silence, "and that she is a thoroughly honest ami trustworthy girl. Don't discharge her this week, father. Give her give, me one weel: more, and let me fee if I cannot discover the thief. piomi- that if I lind it is indeed slio I will not try to shield her. But let me havo that much time to try to di-cover the real culprit." "I don't see how you are going to do it," replied Mr. Adams, looking around tin; apartment. "There is no way that lean si e but of getting here ahead of tho thief, whoever it i and, of course, tho money will not lie taken witli you looking on, and there is no way for ou to conceal yourself: in the room In le. You know I have been accustomed to leave money in that drawer, for the convi lience of giving change if it should be neciled, before I get down in tho morning, ami nobody knows but you that I am in the habit of counting it every night before leaving, and that for ihe last mouth it has not balanced with the cashier's ac count, but constantly shows a. deficiency. It must be taken in the morning, before wo get here, ami Miss Allen is, as she lias said herself, the liist one here indeed she hns a. key ol her own, so that she can get in as eat 1 as Air please'.." Fred's ejis bael been roving around thu room while his father was speaking. Theru was, as he s.iid, no possible chance of his concealing himself anywhere in thu room without making the fact of that conceal ment evitlt nt. and thus deleating his pur pose, hut as he glanced over at the desk, which stooil at the opposite side of thu room near l lie w indnw, f.uel in one drawer ol which was kept the money for such mis cellaneous expense's as postage, telegrams and other incidental small expenditure, anil fioni which sums that could not be ac counted for had been missing for a mouth past, his. iuc lightened, The window faced another window of a large building, tlio side of which was separated only by a nar row court and which was for the time va cant, and a suggestion occiired to him which lie seized upon at once. "I'll admit it does look black against her, father," lie said. "But 1 believe 1 can lind a way in a week's time either to vindi cate her or prove that your suspicions aro just, though 1 believe that it will vindicate her. Just h t me havo one more week, anil if 1 elon't discover the. culprit by that timo 1 will make no lurther plea." "All right, my boy," said Mr. Adams, smiling mid perhaps not altogether with out an intuition as to thu cause of his son's earnestness. " can stand the loss of a few pounds mure, 1 guess. Find the culprit, and you can name your own reward." "I don't eh'sireany reward," replied Fred. Hut his troubled face told another story, mil one that his lather was not slow to de ject. Not only .Jivgery Allen, but the three other giils,iu the employ of Mr. Adams' photographic ,i..tablisiment missed the frank, bright smile- and pleasant word with which his sou hail been wont to greet them, and into Margery's pretty eyes crept a look of hurt sut prisu mingled with it deeper feeling that went to Fred's very heatt. Hut he maintained his demeanor unshaken, meanwhile studying each face ami act of the girls with a scrutiny ho hail never be stowed upon them before, and by night he hail pretty well settletl lu Ills own mind ns to tlie culprit, but to make that suspicion t'. certainty was the task that remained. If any of the girls in passing near the l. iutlow where tho desk stood had chanced to glance at thu building opposite, they might have not iced that it hud been pro vided with a shade, with the exception of one pain of glass, where the shade had been cut away. Hut they eitliev(dlil not notice it or did not think It of sullliycnt consequence to mention if they did, and the day's work tvenl ou an usual except that Margery re inaiked to her.elf, with a little luster heat ing of the heatt, that it was the llrst day blnce her finding tho employment that had been to her such a boon that Fred' eyes had failed to meet her? with an encouraging or tiicndly smile, in which of lute she had Imagined she could detect a warmer senti ment. The next rooming the girls were at their woik as usual when Mr. Adams and his I sou entered the establishment. Hotb gen tlemen looked serious, but on Fred's face was al.o clearly manifest n. look of tri umphant satisfaction. "Young ladles," said Mr. Adams, nd tlresting his employees, havo rather an unpleasant subject to Itilrcclucc. this morn ing, but It is not of my cliooslng, and I would prefer to give you an opportunity to acknowledge your act than to charge you with It. Which of you Is first hero in tho uioruingf" "I b'cllevc I am, sir," answered Margery, to which the others assented. "Well, I am sorry to toportthat for soma film- past I have been mining small sums of money from the drawer where I keep the change for Incidental expenses, ami to Which you havo all access as occasion re quires," continued Mr. Adams. "Now, I vill put it, to you formally, Miss Allen, do ton know anything ill regard to thu miss ing mnneyf" "1 do not, sir," she replied, lifting her eyes to his face w ith a look of perfect inno cence nnd truthfulni ss, while Fred In his delight and joy could scarce restrain him self from hugging her on the spot. "Miss Wilson, do you? or you, Miss Douglas? or you, Miss Fcnis?" A most, emphatic denial was the unani mous response. "Well," saiel Mr. Adams, "it seems that we must lesorl. to lomo other means to as certain tho culprit. What have you tosay, Fred:-" "Merely to ask the young ladles If any of them recognize any one they know inthis," responded Fred, drawing out. a small plate and laying it befoie them. There was an excellent photograph of the Interior of tho room, and bending over the open drawer of the disk in the act of taking some silver from it was th.- unmistakable profile, face and figure 'of Lottie Wibon. With a si 'H'.'letl cry she drew back, cov ering her bu.-nitig face with her hands. "If you will tell me the whole story, T will let you off with no greater punish ment than being discharged from my serv ice," said Mr. Adams sternly. "Otherwise I shall call an olliccr ;uul hand you ener to him forthwith." Overcome with terror at this threat, I.ot tiu sobhingly eonfessctl that shu had been the thiel, having coaxed the housekeeper to let her in on the plea that she wanted to get. lowork early, and then slipping out again and not returning until after Mar gery had arrived, so that if the theft was tin covered suspicion would fall on her. Mr. Adams heard her to the end, then, quietly requesting her to get her hat and cloak attended her to the door and bowed her out. Then returning to Margery, who was standing a little apart from the rest, he said in a tone of more than wonted kind ness: "There is a little story connected with this discovery which there is not, a fitting opportunity to tell here, but if you will al low my son to escort you to my house this evening to dinner I will be happy to make yeai aeqiiaineeel with my wife, anil you can litar the sequel of this affair." Margery bowed, too happy to speak after one eloquent look from Fred's eyes, and wtnt back to herdutios with a heart bound ing high. At the appointed hour Fred ac companied her to his home where, after be ing intioeluced to his mother, who took the orphan girl to her heart and embrace! at once, they told her the story. "The moment I looked at that window of the liuiU.ing opposite," Fred said in conclusion, "it occurred tome that I might make use of it as a point, not only of ob servation, but from which I could obtain a view of the place and Ihe culprit. By invi stigating and experimenting I found that I could photograph the room accu rately. And I lviil a shade put up, leaving only one pane of glass exposed, in front of which I could place my machine anil do the work without being seen in return. I was there this morning by daylight, ar ranged my apparatus, mid about half an hour before your coming the door opened, and T.ottio Wilson came in. I waitetl un til she was in the very act of taking tlio money, as you sec, nnd then secured my snap shot that vindicated you, mv dar ling, anil has made me the happiest man alive all by the aid of that blessed pane of glass." lie had not Intended to make his avowal of lovu in such a fashion, but his joy and affection buivt from him simultaneously, and the next moment lies had her in his rap turous em brace, from which she made no elTort to disengage herself. "Goodby, my dear daughter," Mrs. Ad ams whispered .'is she bade her goodby bo fore li'signing her to Fred's care to ecott her home. "You shall be my daughter in a very few weeks if 1 have anything to say about it." Anil that she not only had considerable to say about it, but said it, was evidenced by the modest but delightful little wed ding that took place not long after, at which Fred and .Margery were the princi pal parties interested, and if their faces were any indication the very happiest peo ple that could be found anywhere.
