The Late Jones Very, Poet .
New York Times. |


The late Jones Very, born at Salem,
Mass, in 1918, a graduate of Havard in
1886, and subsequently tutor in the
University was one of the best sonnet
writers in the language. Like William
Ellery Claiming, he delighted to paint
pictures Of spiritual realities rather than
outward facts, and early gave himself up
to religious enthusiasm, which so pos
sessed him that he left Cambridge and
returned to Salem, where he has since
lived in great retirement writing sonnets
for the Unitarian papers and magazines
when the mood seized him, but taking
no part in public life. He was minis
ter in the Unitarian body, but did not
take parish. His only published work
is a volume entitled "Poems and Essays
by John Very" which was published by
Charles G. Little and Jrmes Brown, in
1889, and contained three essays, on
"Epic Poetry" Shakespeare" and
Hamlet" together with some sixty
poems, mostly sonnets. 1t is believed
that he was also one of the contributors
to the Dial. He was one of the humble
workers in the Transcendental move
ment, and has left large number of
choice poems, some of the choicest work
yet done by an American poet, but now
known chiefly to the collectors Of fugi-
tive verse. ALI that he has written is
expressive Of the spiritual life of the
author. His essays and poems are in
the same vein with the writers Of the
best English poetry Of the seventeenth
century. His object in analyzing the
character of Shakespeare was to show that
a desire Of action was the ruling impulse
Of his mind, and that of his life was "the
unconscious word of God" Should his
prose and poetical writings be collected,
they would constitute one of the choicest
volumes yet contributed to American
letters, belonging, indeed, to a single de-
partment, but illustrating that depart
ment with singular and unique success.

mr.. Holy0ke and Cooperation.

Geo. Jacob Holyoke continues his ef-
forts in behalf of cooperation in Eng
land, and at the same time keeps a Wig
liant eye ON all kindred movements in
the United States. In recent number
of the Cooperative News, a Manchester
weekly, he describes cooperative store
association lately formed in Cincinnati.
and commends the plan upon which it is
organized. The plan, he says, is as fol-
lows: 81. At business meetings each
shareholder is entitled to one vote, and
no more, no matter how many shares
he may hold, and that vote must be cast
in person. 2. AS the customer contrib
utes to the business of the store, he will
receive share of the profits in proper
ton to the amount Of his purchases.
Shareholders will be entitled to two
thirds of the net profits, all others one
third. 3. Six per cent. interest will be
paid to shareholders on their investment.
Capital is treated simply as an agent,
and not as a principal, and interest is
counted as one of the expenses to be paid
before the profits are accounted. 4. The
store is to be conducted On strict bust
ness principles and on a cash basis. Nc
goods will be bought on time or sold or
credit. In justice to all, this rule will
be strictly observed. 5. A bond will be
required of every person holding posi-
tion Of trust"

Not the Finest Police i'm the World.
IPall Mall GaZettel

TPall Mall Gazettel
A strange story comes from Constanti-
nople. A few nights ago, 50 runs the
version of the affair given in a German
paper, three robbers, armed to the teeth,
broke into the house of Prussian living
in Constantinople. Threatening to forth
with murder him if he resisted, they
compelled the owner to submit to being
bound, and then demanded from him his
yaluables and money. The Prussian at
once gave up his gold watch, and some
"a of Turkish money which he had in
his pockets; but this small booty did not
satisfy the robbers. Again they threat
ened death, and finally obliged the
bound and helpless man to tell them
where they would find the key of his
business safe. This safe happened to be
in room on the third floor, at the top
of the house, and thither the three rob
bers, having obtained possession of the
key, hastened, leaving the owner bound,
and threatening to return and shoot
him if he called for assistance.
But as they went up stairs his wife,
who hadIbeen watching what had taken
place from another room, slipped quietly
in and cut the bonds of her husband.
Arming themselves with revolvers, the
pair crept quietly up the stairs, came
upon the robbers absorbed in dividing
among themselves the contents of the
safe, and without word shot two of
them. The third threw down his wea-
pons and begged for mercy. Turning
the tables upon him the Prussian bound
his late assailant fast and, leaving his
wife to watch over him with loaded re-
volver in her hand, hastened to the near
est zaptieh station. There he found the
officer in charge absent and, on inquiring
for sub-oficer, was told that both Of
the latter were also away. Thereupon
the Prussian asked four of the men to
accompany him to his house and take
the bound burglar into custody. Arrived
in the room where the two men had been
shot, the zaptiehs looked at the two
corpses, looked at the prisoner and recog-
nized in the former the two sub-oficers,
and in the latter the officer Of their own
guard.

life," in which Nestor swings from one
end Of the house, turns double somer-
sault, and is caught by the heels by
Vinoa-when startling accident oe-
CURED. Nestor was little late in tax
ing flight from the trapeze, so that Whoa
had nearly passed out of his reach when
the two should have met.
Nestor only succeeded in clutching
Vinoa's heel, and, being unable to hold
on, fell, striking in his descent on the
edge of the net, aud then rolling heavily
to the ground. The distance being some
twenty feet; the athlete was rendered
insensible by the fall. In the meantime
the excitement in the theater was in
tense, and Whoa seemed to be unnerved
by it and the accident which had hap
pened to his fellow-performer. He drew
himself up on his perch. Then he ven-
tured to launch out upon his trapeze,
but he let go his hold when the trapeze
had almost passed the net, the conse-
quence being that he merely grazed the
side of it in his fall, and rolled on to the
stage. Both men lay for minute or
two utterly stunned. The audience
rushed upon the stage and carried them
off. RestOratiyes were administered, and
the performers were subsequently taken
home in cab.

The excavation in the garden of the

tres high, and perfect except for the

The Bicycle and the Tricycle..

A writer in the English Mechanic says:
"a good tricycle. is an exceedingly rare
thing. The makers, so far as my expert
ence goes, pay little or no attention to
small but important matters, and the
consequence is that few. tricycles can
class over second or third rate. With a
good tricycle. the labor is less than good
bicycle, the motion is far smoother, less
power is wasted in shaking the rider
about, and the strain on the attention is,
beyond comparison, less. With a good
tricycle., any rider without daily training
may ride the whole day, day after day
thing that no bicycle-rider could do
without constant training. The average
running speed, in my own expert
ence, is about the same; but l
can travel twice the distance in one
day with a tricycle. as compared with
first-rate bicycle with suspension spring
and roller bearings, the tricycle. having
plain parallel bearings to all three
wheels. AS a travelling machine in all
weathers the tricycle. is the best beyond
all comparison, partly from the ease with
which the ground is covered, partly from
the perfect protection from weather
which an umbrella gives. I certainly
am not cramped on the tricycle., but in
precisely the same position as when on
the bicycle. My reason for adhering 10
the bicycle is a simple one. The motion
is rough, the exercise is hard, and the
two together keep my chronic dyspepsia
in check. The tricycle. is easy. smooth,
sleepy work, and has no effect whatever
so far as my health is concerned. I
keep bicycle for physic, and tricycle.
for going about the country for pleas
ure."

A Curious Beast.
[London Telegraph

Among the most recent additions to
the Geological Soeiety's collections in
Regents Park is Cape hunting dog. 1t
is queer beast, with shifty ways that
give it an appearance Of irresolution and
occasionally Of crazy bewildermeut, in
duced, no doubt, by the consciousness
that its features justify its being looked
upon as neither dog nor anything else,
but something halfway toward the first
hyena and about as far from the last
wolf. In wild state it is a~creature Of
intense ferocity, and as active as it is
fierce, sweeping in packs from province
to province, ravaging the eolonists' focks
and hunting down the wild herds Of the
plains. Nothing is safe from it when at
liberty, and in captivity it is said to be
untamable. Probably, therefore, nc
other occupant of the society's gardens
will find its new life so miserably circum
scribed, so fat and dull, as will this wild
hyena-hound Of Africa.

Foreseeing war between Russia and
Germany at no distant date, the Poles
find it necessary to devise programme
to meet contingencies. While every
body regards the speedy conquest of
PoAnd by the German Army as exceed
ingly probable, there are differences of
opinion as to the attitude to be assumed
by the natives after the overthrow of
Russian rule. There are those who ad-
vocate neutrality, or even opposition
unless an independent Kingdom of Po-
and is re-established by the anticipated
conqueror. This view is taken by the
middle-class Liberals and small portion
of the nobility, who regard absorption
by German culture as danger much
more immediate than humiliation by
Russian despotism. ..
The other and much more numerous
party, including the bulk of the MOBILES,
and supported by the omnipotent agency
of the priests, deems it uuwise to discuss
future developments, and is content to
second any action of the Austro- German
allies calculated to bring on change
Were their hopes ever to be fulfilled, this
party would govern the situation, and on
political, aristocratic, and ecclesiastic
grounds endeavor to enter intoa compro-
mise with the powers that be. Both par
ties are represented, and both pro-
grammes pretty openly advocated in the
German and Austrian Parliaments. In
Russian Poland no one dare utter a syl-
liable but what is stepped in loyalty to
the Gar.
