between his lips. still ripe with laughter. crepT
He moaued not for the fading past, nor sigh d

The old sad smile, softer than any song.

Poor diving clowni were you then wandering
Back TO your busy scenes OF industry

Some pleasant memory was passing by!

Or was ives il must have been-old friend,
Mirrors Of distance you were looking through
When all desire of life was at an end
Visions Of happiness appeared TO you,
And as your tired thoughts were borne away
From merry childhood to completed age
You thought OF those you left and whispered wrong

day. The story is that a German farmer,
 Andrew Heitzman, aged 62, was found dead
 in the cellar of his house the morning of De-
 cember 13, and that on the day before, his
 son, who lived with his parents, brought to
 the house a woman of questionable character,
 which SO displeased the father that he turned
 both out of the house. The woman was seen on the morning of the discovery wash ing blood stains from the clothing of the dead man, and also arranging his hair to cover up the wounds on his head. Dr. Hill was called when the body was found and pronounced it a case of heart disease No investigation was had. The information just coming to light grows out of 8 dispute over the property in settling the estate
 Yesterdays Bridgeport Fdanser says: The two Germans who were in this city yesterday for the purpose of getting the authorities to institute an investigation went home without accomplishing their mission. Whether they will have any better success with the local authorities remains to be seen. If they fail with them also the matter will doubtless drop where it is, as State Attorney Fessenden de- clines to act unless the case comes to him from the Easton grand jurors. One of the two men who were here yesterday waJ Q cousin of one of the sons in law who are arrayed against the son in the quar- rel that has been started over the distribution of the old mans estate. The son petitioned the Probate Court several days ago for the appointment of an admins trator, his father having left no will. The value of the estate is estimated at $9, GOO, as there is considerable property in New Jersey besides the Easton farm. The sons law also petitioned for an administrator Each wanted different parties appointed, and when they met in the Probate Court yesterday they began wrangling at once. It was the son against the two sons-in-law. They grew very much excited and stamped, gesticulated and shouted until the widow became alarmed and went out. The girl Louise was excited and as noisy as the rest, and Judge Beardsley finally threatened to send for a policeman. This brought them to quietness, and an ad- ministrator was finally agreed upon.

 A RIackmauIng MonopoIy-The Chinese

 ing CeIestials.
 SAN FRANc1soo, Jan. 21.-For years it has been the practice of the Chinese Six compa- nies here to allow no Chinaman to leave for China without paper from one of the companies certifying that he was clear from debt and had paid his dues. The sys- tenn was really a blackmailing arrangement upon which the Six companies thriyed, as they had contract with the Pacific Mail and Occidental Steamship companies preventing any Chinaman from sailing on steamers of those lines. During the past session of the Legislature bill was passed making it mis. demeanor for any steamship company to re fuse passage to any person who paid fare. This law was taken advantage of by Sintelli

Only a Dog.

~@Ss1o1s &ASS We were all crying, every one of us. Fa- ther declared that it was smoke that had got into his eyes and made them smart but mother drew her apron over her head and sat rocking and sobbing for ten minutes. Phoebe and I just drew ourselves down on the floor by poor Leo, and I took his dear old shaggy head in my lap, and the hot tears dropped one by one; and Phoebe petted his poor old stiff ears and smoothed out his thin gray hairs and then we took off the old brass col lar that was marked all over with hieroglyph- ics that we had scratched with pins in the proud days when he first wore it, then we cried again, and just then in walked Squire Toots and he didn't seem to know what to do when he saw us all so distressed he looked at us and then at Leo; then he took out his handkerchief and gave his nose real Sunday school blowing, and said kind of huskily-
 'Why, it's wicked to feel s bad. Anybody d s'pose 1t was pusson taint only dog !"
 That just made us feel worse! There wasn't any heaven for him to go to- and we knew we never could see him again, and we couldn't remember any life without Leo, we were such little tots when he came to us, and he had been one of the family all the time. Fla ther used to lecture him just as he did us children. Where did see you to-day, sir?s he would say lover at MT. Masons associa- ting with that dog that steals Shame ?' And then Leo would whine, and pretty soon father would say, ''Go to bed, sir !'' and he'd sneak off to his box in the back shed and lie awake all night to protect while we slept, and he never once in fourteen years was for getful of his trust-and he was ''only 8 dog"
 Only dog. Why, was there ever time when we went racing home from school that Leo hadn't met us half way to race with us and do all sorts of funny tricks at our bid ding? And how proud we had always been of him with his handsome, stately presence and superior manners, and how safe we felt to hear his deep-chested bark as we went to sleep!
 We'll, death had found him, sure enough, and we buried him out in the grove in little hollow, where he loved to lie on hot summer days, and there will be no resurrection for him, though there will be for the vilest thief he kept from our doors; but none the less, in looking over his honest, biameless life, in which he was never faithless, even to the smallest trust, I dare apply to him the Mas ter's need of praise, ''Weil done, good and faithful servant; j" though, as Squire Toots said, ''he was only dog.'

gent Chinamen, notwithstanding every kind of intimidation was used to prevent their leaving without paying the Six companies their demands Latterly, however, the Six companies have been successful in levying their tax on outgoing Chinamen, specially those from the interior. To counteract this Chief of Police Crowley, of this city, recent ly issued circular in ChInese, notifying in tending passengers to China that they could go home by simply purchasing their passage tickets, and that the police could be depend ed on to protect them from the companies. These notices have been posted in every Chinese camp on the coast.
 Yesterday it was discovered that the Six companies had circulated a counter state ment, stating that any one who attempted to leave without paying his dues would be ar- rested, and if he lost his money or baggage he would have only himself to blame The Chinamaa who printed the conpany's circu- lar has been arrested. The authorities are determined to break up the blackmailing practice

 WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-The House Com mistee on Manufactures gave hearing yes- terday to George L. Angell of Boston, upon the subject of poisonously adulterated arti- cles Among the subjects discussed by Mr. Angell were drugs, poisonous articles of clothing and wall papers. He offered evi- dence to show that from one-third to one half of all the wall papers now sold in great variety of colors contain arsenic to degree that renders their use dangerous. He pro- nounces against the use of glucose or oleo- margarine products. and gave numerous illus trations of the danger incurred in using canned fruits, meats and vegetables when put up in tin In conclusion, MT. Angell urged the importance of providing 8 commit tee or commission to thoroughly investigate the subject Subsequently the committee adopted Mir.

No official infor- nation can be obtained from them, either as to the result of their visit or as to the char acter of their report It is stated, however, by persons with whom some of the commission have conferred, that there will be two reports, a major ity and minority; that the majority report will support Tibbles and Bright Eyes, and gener- ally take the Boston side of the case, and will the commission, Gen. Crook and Gen. Miles. and by the civilian from Boston, Walter Allen; that the minority report. which will entirely sustain the Interior depar tment, will be signed by MT. Stickney of Wash ineton, the other civilian member of the commission, who has at different periods had some connection with the Interior de- pertinent. Mir. Stickney is understood to have been the member of the commission who telegraphed from the Indian Territory to the President that the commission could not hire Ponca to return to Dakota. It was this dispatch which the commission reported as unauthorized It is very evident unless all reports are untrue, that the story told by the Indian chiefs at Washington was either not their whole case or else a majority of the Ponca commission has been deceived.
