dOW The DUN 4A0AI CA4E.
The following touching little sketch
is from the Detroit Free Press:
The sunlight sometimes came into
the room, for the sunlight was made
for the poor as well as the rich, and it
will pour in through crazy shutters
and over the bare floors just as cheeri-
ly as it filters through lace curtains
and breaks into golden fragments over
velvet carpets. And Gods free air
came to the desolate room as we'll,
though when it crossed the decaying
roofs and fingered for a moment on
the weather-beatcn sills it was no Ion
ger pure.
Do you know what poverty is? A
gaunt, starved woman with great
black eyes, which had a look of hun
ger and terror, as if the shadow of fate
had clutched her throat. A bare room
hot bare, because it contained an
old stove. wretched bed, broken
chair, bench. and-but> nothing
more. The gaunt. starved face woman
had bread to eat-bread and nothing
else. A bare room-bread and water.
That is poverty. That is what brings
to the heart that feeling of loneliness
and grim despair which is poisoned
out of life or quenched, like a flicker
ing light, in the green waters of the
river which creeps softly past the city
and carries every every burden of sor-
row and woe tn the bosom of the lake.
Why did this woman live? Had life
one charm for her? Perhaps she asked
herself these questions as she sat with
her face in her hands and looked out
upon the cold, che ,rless day. There
were no tears in hfr great black eyes
only such look Of woe and despair
that the world should have been there
to see it and to have it painted on their
hearts.

She knew that he had been dying
for a week. sinking slowly and surely
into eternity, hat she had no friends to

and pray God that she might soon fol

pressed her lips to his forehead, then

The sunlight had truly come, but it
was the sunlight-the golden rays re-

not the sunlight Of earth. The mystic
rious curtain hiding the valley Of
death had lifted for his spirit to pass

Market Street Brid1e Gone.

The Whole Structure Totally DESTROYED Ia,
Fire IN Ihree-Qudrters Of an Hour.
The old Market street bridge has
gone at last, falling prey to the fire
nend on Saturday afternoon. 1t is
totally destroyed, and new bridge
Will have to be constructed in its place.
The fire broke out at about twenty
minutes to four O'Clock, but Just how
1t originated is somewhat of a mystery,
as there are two conflicting stories.
For some time past the employees of
the City Gas Works have been engaged
In laying large main across the
bridge for the purpose of making con.
ncctions with the Centennial buildings,
This has closed the bridge to all ordi-
nary travel, only cars being allowed to
cross.
During the past three or four DAYS
the workmen had noticed that gas
was escaping from the main in the
centre OF the bridge, and Patrick
White, the boss of the gang, procured
match from one of the workmen,
on Saturday afternoon, and began to
search for the leak. He found it in
the rear Of the tool house, near the
watch box, and the gas came out in
such volume that it lighted. Just
Immediately across from this main
the workmen were making connec-
ton with the new main, and the gas
escaping from both places, together
caught the flame, and an explosion
followed by which White was seriously
burned and the fire started which de-

MIR. J. II. Claiborne of Trenton, N. j.,
on taking seat in the New Yerx train
on tuesday night, saw a young girl in

10 suppress her grief. She was prepossess-
ing, and her attire indicated taste and
refinement. AS she vas alone, Mr..
Claiborne in fatherly way inquired the
cause OF her trouble, and proffered as
sistance. She replied that her name
was Ella Douglas, and she lived in Lock
port, N. Y.
About three months ago, she said, she
formed the acquaintance OF a young man
who SAID that he was q commercial trav-
eler OF a New York boot and shoe house.

parents obJecting to a marriage, he in

her to the home Of his mother in Will

mlngton. There he deserted her, after
informing her that she was the victim Of
a fraudulent marriage, and that the
story of his mother living in Whining
ton was hoax.
The g'rl was heart broken and out ot
money, but she said she had friends il
lThirty-tifth street who would render hel
assistance. She said that she was too
weary to walk from the ferry to Thirty
fifth street, was ashamed to go up in O

fer lasting favor by taking her in {
carriage. To this he willingly consent
ed, and on reaching Thirty fifth stree
and Sixth avenue she requested him t.
leave her, saying that she preferred to g,

RELIGIOUS.

At tie Union NJ. Z. Church, yesterday
morning, fifteen persons were admitted
to membership, on probation.
Last night about fifteen persons were
baptised at the Delaware Avenue Baptist
Church. The revival still continues with
undated Interest.
One lady was baptised at the First
Baptist Church, llth and King streets
last night. This is the first baptism that
eg er took place in this church, poo
having only been recently constructed
Previously all the converts of this church
were baptised in the Brandywine.
At the West Presby ytorian Church, last
night, Rev. DR.. OTIS. based his discourse
upon Moody and Sankey, the Evangel.
lists, and their work. He referred tc
their work in England, commencing with
audiences of less than fifty, which rapidly
swelled to thousands, and feared they
were commencing the wrong way in this
country, by preaching to immense audi
ences composed Of thousands of curiosity
seekers. The work of the Evangelists he
highly commended. but he greatly feared
it was like a prairie fire which ragged
fiercely, but neither lasted long nor burn
ed deep. He hoped that those who felt
the need of conversion would not await
the coming of Moody and Sankey. as
they could as well be converted where
ever they happened to be without wait
ing for the appearance of thu great Evan
gelists.

The administration dnd the
Cuban klUO.

AsH1SGToN, Nov. 2l.-Absolute
proofs are lacking to establish the fact
that the continued activity in the navy
is inspired by the ring who propose to
sell arms to Cuba in the event the
President recognizes her independence,
but the surface indications strongly
support that hypothesis. This ring is
one of the most influential that has
ever been formed, and it is hoped
that out of the recent excitement the
President would find encouragement
to issue his proclamation on behalf of
Cuba. As to the latter the prospect is q
little dubious.
