II chanced, they say, upon day,
A furiong from the town,
That she was strolling up the way
As be was strolling down
She humming low. as might be so,
A ditty sweet aad small;
He whistled loud tune, you know
That had no tune e all
Ii happened so-precisely So
As all their friends and neigb5ors know
As and you perhaps might do,
They gazed upon the ground;
But when they'd gone yard or two,
OF course they both looked round.
They both we're pained, they both explained
What caused their eyes TO roam;
And nothing after that remained
But he should see her home.
1t happened so--precisely So
As ali their iiieDds and neighbors know.
Next DAY to that twas common chat,
Admitting no debate,
A bonnet close beside hat
Was sitting on the gate.
4 month, not more, had clustered DER,
When, Drawing nod and smile,
One biushing soul came through the door
Whore tSo went up the aisle.
1t happened so-precisely So
As alltheir friends and neighDors know.

Parncll's Letter.

The editor Of the Frceniat's journal. In
publishing Mr.. Parnell's letter, stated That
he was compelled to omit portions of it in
view Of tho Governments proclamation in
regard to the Land League. II Is under
stood that the portions omitted arc as fol-
lows:
" The only organization now practicable
Is that the tenants should meet by estates
when summoned to pay rent, and decide
upon common action, as recommended In
the league manifesto.
" The time has now come for the people
to choose between the Land Court and the
league. We will devote our resources to
the support Of those who stand by the prin-
ciples Of the league, but We cannot do any
thing for evicted tenants on those estates
where their fcllow-tenants on the same
estate are unmindful Of those principles.
We have therefore directed the custodians
of our relief fund to refuse help to tenants
on any estate where the rest of the tenants
have either applied to the Land Court to
fix their rent, or who have paid rents.
"Wo recommend cvicted tenants to CON
tinue to rely ON the league and not waste
their slender resources In useless legal
struggle"
MIR. Parnell has been forbidden to sec d
solicitor for the purpose of instructing him
to take steps to test the validity of his ar
rest unless warder be present. A protest
against this order has been lodged with the
governor of the prison.

All saints Day.

To-day November ~ is designated in all
ecclesiastical calendars as the " Festival of
All Saints" n day set apart and observed in
all branches of the ancient church, including
the Anglican and Roman Catholic, in pious
memory of the saints dcparted-patriarch
prophets, apostles, martyrs and all the count
less multitudes who with the passing CEN
turtles have followed in their train through
the grave and gate of death, and whose
bodies are now awaiting that joyful resur-
rection promised and assured in tho resur-
rection Of Christ. In many of tho Episcopal
and Roman Catholic churches the observance
of the festival was commenced last evening
by appropriate vigil services, to be followed
to-day by those set apart especially
for All Saints Day. In the Episcopal
Church the central point in the teachings
of this festival is the enforcementnof one of
the prominent articles Of the Apostles
Creed" The Communion of Saints or In
other words the oneness and unity of the
saints on earth with the saints in Paradise,
as expressed by Bishop Ken, of sanity
memory: ~ believe. o Most Holy Jesus,
that Thy saints here below have COM
munion with Thy saints above they pray
ing for us In Paradise-we here on earth
celebrating their memorials, rejoicing at
their bliss, giving thanks for their labors of
love and initiating their examples" With
such associations thrOnging round this
solemn festival, All Saints Day becomes a
sacred anniversary, truly full of tender
memories of the depaI ted and hopes and
longings for that better life upon which
they have entered.

Iebafion (Ky) Standard.
a very curious and interesting spectacle
was to be seen ON Monday afternoon in the
office Of Mr.. p. G. Clovcr's livery stable In
this city. Against the wall of the room
stands q tolerably tall desk, and under this
small spider, not larger than common
pea, had constructed and extensive web
reaching down to the floor.
About 11:3O o'clock Monday forenoon 1t
was observed that the spider had ensnared
young mouse by passing filaments of her
web about its tail. When first seen the
mouse had its hind feet Off the floor, and
could barely touch the floor with its fore
feet. The spider was full of business, run
ming up and down the line, occasionally
biting tho mousc's tail, making II struggle
desperately. Its efforts to escape were I'M
availing, and the slender fllamcnts about
its tail were too strong for IL to break. In
a short time IL was seen that the spider was
slowly hosting ITS victim into the air. BY
2 o'clock in the afternoon the mouse could
barely touch the floor with its fore feet by
dark the point of its nose was an inch above
the floor. At 0 o'clock at night tho mouse
was still alive, but had made no sign except
when tho spider descended and bit its tail.
At this time Ii was an inch and half from
the floor.
The next morning tho mouse was dead
and hung three inches from the floor.
The news of tho novel sight soon became
circulated, and hundreds of people visited
the stable to witness IT, The mouse is a
small one, probably less than half grown,
measuring about one and onc-half inches
from the point of its nose to the root of its
tail. How the spider in ensnar-
ing 1t is not known. The mechanical in.
genuity of the spider, which enables her to
raise body which must weigh forty or
fifty times as much as herself, has been the
subject of much comment and speculation,
and no satisfactory solution ofthe difficulty
has been found. All agree that 1t is n most
remarkable case, and one that would be re-
ceived with utter incredulity lift were not
so amply attested.

The Fate ora Practical Joker.

fhflS correspondence N. u. Plcayune.
Friday night, at o'clock a. M, n gentle
man left his club with FRIEND the latter
was delayed few moments in getting his
cane, and the former, to play joke on him,
hid in the lift-case. His friend came down
and seeing nobody went out in the worst
possible humor. The joker, as he entered
the lift-casc, had closed the door; he tried to
open 1t, but could not. for it opened with
out key only from the outside. He laughed
heartily to sec bitter bit, until presently he
heard noise, which he could not misin-
tcrpret. The lift was slowly falling down
from tho fourth floor. He, in cropping for
the door, had pulled the rope which set it
free. Death stared him in the face, for
that immense mass of iron would incvi-
tably crush him fat as a pancake, and by a
slow torture which would make dying seem
an agony Of hours. He became frantic with
fear. He flung himself on the door of the
lift.case as only despair could do !; he
shrieked for help. His frenzied efforts
made no impression on the door, but his
shrieks reached the janitor's ears. The
janitor hastened to his relief. The janitor
found tho unfortunate gentleman in q
swoon on tho floor The former dragged
the latter out. 1t was time. The lift was
| only fifteen feet from him. A physician
was summond. Consciousness was restored
The unfortunate gentleman sprang on his
feet, screamed incoherently with wild
gestures. He was crazy.

Thanks for thy gift, its homelike lore

With honest, gentle. rcv'rent touch,
Loves matchless girdle, round my waist.
All! boys In those days were not like

On every corner in the land.
To those dear boys OF olden times
Was manhood proven real and just
Perfected fully when they held
A womnn's veal their sacred trust.
What endless yards of viewless tape
We measured then and cut IL, too,
Al every yard with kisses twain,
The only cuts our childhood knew.
No fear OF after breeding III
Made cen the gentlest maiden shrink
To sip the cup Joy made sweet
By other lips upon It's biink.
Those childish days, alas are lost
Within the bcauteous, fading past;

Wash. Cor. Bait. Sun.
For several daysit has been known pub
licly that the counsel for the Star-route
people would go into court to-day and ask
for q day to be set on which the motion
to quash the information should be argued.
They appeared to-day in court, but with
the exception of the District Attorney,
who really has nothing to do with the mat
ter, none of the Government were there to
meet them. This is the second time this
has occurred, thus necessitating con-
tinued postponemcnt of the cases. The
literal running away of Mr.. MacVcagh,
and the repeated failure of the counsel,
whom he has employed at heavy expense
to conduct the prosecution. ITO appear in
court when the interests of the Government
demanded their presence, gives effective
contradiction to the assertions made by
them of anxiety to proceed to trial and
confidence in conviction. Mr.. Brady and
Mr.. Dorsey have been here for several days
and they and their friends express great
indignation that their efforts to secure a
speedy hearing and determination of the
cases are thwarted by the Government
counsel.

Training school for Nurses.

The Washington Trimming School for
Nurses began its fourth course of lectures
last evening at Marini's Hall, with fair
attendance, consisting of graduates, appli-
cants and friends of the school. The or
ganization Of this institution in 1877 and
its subsequent good work are matters with
which the public is familiar. Although suf.
fering from o lack of funds ever since its es-
Enlistment, the school has been q success,
and nearly all Of tho graduates have found
steady, rcmunerative employment as nurses.
The lectures last evening were merely in
tr0ductory, and were delivered by DIR. j. M.
Toner, president; DR.. J. G. yelling and
Prof ). S. Beale.
President Toner referred to the work of
the society, and said that he thought he
saw in the future o prospect of the nurses
Of the school having suitable home in
the projected National Garfield Memorial
Hospital. He also'paid glowing tribute
to the famous nurse, Florence Nightingale,
and gave an interesting account of his
meeting with her In London during the
past summer. He described her appearance
in the following language: FLORENCE
Nightingale, though of English parentage,
was born in Florence, Italy, in 1920, and
is therefore sixty-one years of age, but she
looked not day older than forty-sx. Her
features are regular, her face smooth and
unwrinkled, and she has large brown eyes
and dark brown hair, without any ad-
mixture of gray. She reclined on q lounge
being unable to use her lower limbs on ac-
count of disease contracted during the Cri-
mean war. Miss Nightingale was very
much interested in the Washington school,
and seemed surprised that it should have
been so successful without the aid of endow-
ments and Government appropriations.
Tho first regular lecture of the course
will be delivered by DR.. Murphy, next
Friday evening, at Lehman building, 1925
New York avenue.

The Pacific Railway Snow Sheds.

The wonderful snow sheds of the Central
Pacific Road cover forty miles of its track,
and their cost ranges from $4,000 to $50, 900
per mile. They are firmly constructed to
support the great weight Of snow and resist
the rush of avalanches. Fire precautions
are very thorough. Corrugated plates of
iron separate the buildings into sections,
and in the great ten-mie shed there are
automatic electric fre-alarms. At the
summit is an engine and tank always ready
to flood the ignited spot in an instant
These sheds shut in the view OF the great
Sierras, but without them winter travel
would be impossible. Sometimes five feet
of snow falls upon them in day, and often
thirty feet lie on the ground at one time,
and in many places snow accumulatcs to the
depth of fifty feet above these great wooden
arches,

Base Ingrntitude.

John u. Heiner stole 100000 from a tele-
graph company by whom he was employed
in Philadelphia, but his apparent contrition,
and the influence Of friends saved him
from prosecution. One of the friends was
John Wanamaker, the wealthy merchant
and philanthropist of that city, who gave
him employment as an auditing clerk, and
believed he was thoroughly cured Of dis
honesty. But he was not. By means of u
conspiracy with several employees, Heiner
lost no time in beginning to rob Wanamaker,
and now no will 90 to prison. 1t is said
that his wife, disguised at his ingratitude,
warned him in vain to stop the thieving
and finally informed against him,

Delegate Cannon Declared an Alien.

The suit brought by Campbell to annul
Delegate Cannon's alleged certificate OF
naturalization was decided at Salt Lake
City yesterday by Chief Justice Hunter.
The judge held that, on the statements Of
the complainant and the admissions of the
defendant, the certificate of Cannon was
void on its face; that the pretended natu-
ralization was a nullity. Thus the court in
which Cannon claims to have been natur-
allied twenty-five years ago decides that he
is an alien, and therefore that Gov. Murray
was right in refusing to certify that he had
been duly elected to Congress. This is a
very singular decision, aud 1t is strange
the question was never preached before in
all the years that Cannon represented Utah
in Congress.

The Conredernte Bond Mystery.

An order was received in this city yester-
day for Confederate bonds to the amount Of
$1,0O0,0O0. 1t is said that the recent de-
mand for these bonds has grown out of the
circumstance that ST., 900, 900 in gold placed
in English banks during the war to the
credit of the Confederate government is still
held on deposit. The United States Treas
ury, it is further said, has made several at
tempts to obtain possession of the gold, but
has always failed, the English banks con-
tending that the money could not be sur
rendered except to the holders of bonds
issued by the Confederate government.
