BECAUSE THE widow of Secretary Morrill,
has told some unpleasant truths about Mr..
Blaine, the Blaine newspapers are abusing
her roundly. But instead OF withdrawing
what she has said about the dismounted
knight, she declares that she has letters
from him to her late husband that will more
than substantiate all she has said about him,
and that unless he shall ''call off his dogs"
she will publish them. 1t is more than
likely that she will now be let alone.

LAST WORDS THROUGH A TELEPHONE

LAST WORDS THROUGH TELEPHONE
10 May last young man named William
McNinch arrived in Denver with his wife
from Columbus, Ga. Mr.. McNinch was in
the last stages of consumption. The young
couple remained in Denver several days and
then the husband went to Colorado Springs,
leaving his wife in Denver. His health
seemingly improved for several days and
then he grew suddenly worse. He was
able to be about, but having premonition
that he was going to die he went to the tel
ephone and called his wife, who was still
in Denver, telling her to come to him at
once, as he was growing worse and did not
expect TO live. While talking he was sez-
ed with hemorrhage, from which he never
recovered; in fact, was dead when his wife
arrived, obedient TO his summons. Thus it
was that his dying words were transmitted
through telephone.

Ofall European countries GERMANY is +

Ofall European countries Germany is the
country where suicides most frequent; and
in Ger many, again. Saxony takes the lead
much though the Germans of those parts
are praised for their good spirits. In
1872, the number of suicides in Saxonv
amounted to 6S7 (266 to every 1000, 900 in.

and after Ave years more to 1872. Last
year 1904 persons thus ended their lives.
1,OS1 of whom were of the male sex and 92S
of the female. The increase in female sui
cides, which has been noticed OF late can
hardly De accounted for by the hardship of
military service, which usually does duty
as an explanation of male suicide but what
ever its cause, it is very serious fact. In
England, in 1882, the suicides were LAS

IN MEMORIAM.
In the quiet hour of midnight,
When the weary seek repose;
And full many al anguished bosom
Rests from agonizing throes:
When in dreams VIC often wander
Mid the scenes of happier years,
And the soothing charm of slumber
Dries the M turner's bitter tears;
| had sought my peaceful chamber
Aud had breathed my evening prayer:
Thus relying for protection
On Fathers tender caro-
Knowing Well that not sparrow,
From its upward flight could fall,
Uuobscrved by Him who watches
Der, controls and governs all.
From my slumbers was startled
By the tramp of hurrying feet;
And the scene that met my vision
Made my sudden fear complete;
For the lurid flames were leaping
Madly in the midnight shade;
. And like demons seemed exulting
Der the havoc they had made.
Now from eyes unused to weeping
Came the swift uubidden tear,
As this FABRIC of our fathers,
Which for many passing year
We h d cherished as an heir loom,
With pride INDUCED by all
Meath this terrible calamity,
Was tottering to its fall
There were memories clustering round it.
That no stranger e'er could know
As it told of joys and sorrows,
In the days of long ago."
And from out tho dear old STEEPLE,
With sweet melodious chime
We were hourly admonished
OF the onward flight of time.
But they're gone, nor HALL nor STEEPLE
Now remains to meet our gaze;
And as one by one each landmark
OF our earlier, happier days
Passes into dark oblivion
Meath misfortunes whitening blast,
We feel the more like treasuring
All that's left us of the past
