Softly repeating i magic rune, f'fS
Fringing,the petals to time the tune
And here, in the midst Of the white and

Old as Eden, yet ever new
Is the same sweet story Of gladness told
Under the sky so wide and blue,
Her face on the daisies shyly bent,
His eyes on her with proud content.
There may be, far fran this hushed retreat,
Din and tumult and sordid care;
Somewhere, perhaps, is the drums harsh

And women kneelng In fearful prayer;
There is only peace where to and fro
In the silent meadow the daisies blow.

Emporia Ners: There is perhaps no
home in this city adorned with as many
fine and richly framed paintings as or
nament the parlors and library OF the
residence of Dr.. ]. A. Moore. An UNJUST,
al feature of this galerie, which would
grace any art collection, and Of which
every piece bears the characteristics OF
an artists work, is that almost without
exception it is executed by Miss Ida
Moore. Among the rare exceptions we
had the pleasure of noting an excellent
portrait of DR.. Moore, just finished, done
by Mrs. George Strunck, and presented
to Miss Moore. This is a life-sized oil
painting, three-quarters length. 1t is
fine work in every particular. The .po-
sition is standing, with arm supported on
ban;ster. The background is library
scene, of the artists own designing. The
expression and tints and every detail OF
the finish are remarkably natural, and
withal, though from the brush and pa
lette of another, it is not strange that it
should be, as it is, among the most high.
ly priced paintings of the collection.

Mr.. COx's Foresight,

A rather amusing instance of the ways
of some of the Democratic retrenchers
and reformers is afforded by some
changes in the last diplomatic appropria-
ton bill. It is to be remembered that
Mr.. s. s. Cox, who has lately been ap-
pointed Minister to Turkey, had good
deal to do with the provisions of this
bill as passed at the last session of Con-
gress.
That Mr.. Cox, the Congressman and
chairman of the committee on Foreign
Relations, would legislate so as to make
it comfortable for Mr.. Cox, the Minister
to Turkey, is not to be averred lightly;
but somehow or other, things seem to
have fallen out that way to a remarkable
degree. 1t turns out that some very ma
terial new frills were added to the
American legation at Constantinople by
this measure. The salary of the Minis
ter Resident was increased from $500
to $4,000, and besides that, one or two
attaches were added and ST. 900 provided
for the purchase of a steam launch for
the use of the Minister. If Mr.. Cox was
q Republican, the Democrats would be
now plainly intimating that he fixed up
things very nicely for himself.
When the next Congress meets it looks
as if there was good chance for strike
in favor of retrenchment and reform by
cutting down that 81 900 steam launch.

The Fifer and Drummer of Scltuate.
Oston Evening Transcript.

So many different accounts have
appeared from time to time regarding
1.-The fifer and the drummer of Scituate, "
that the public hesitate which to accept.
With a view of getting at the real facts,
and presenting the subject in an anthem
tic light, your correspondent visited Miss
Abby Bates, the surviving sister, to oh
tain her version of the incident. "Aunt"
Abby, as she is Familiarity called, lives
alone in low, old fashioned house, on a
bluff overlooking the ocean. Although
nearly lightweight years of age, her
mind ia clear and her health good.
Rebecca w. and Abby were born in
family moved to Situate Centre. Her
father was seafaring man. The fishing
business was dull, and, having family
of thirteen children to provide for, he
was obliged to seek other employment.
Through the influence of Mr.. Jesse Dun
bar, the Captain was appointed keeper
of the lighthouse, wherein, December,
1911, the family took up their residence.
1t was about the middle of the after
noon on pleasant September's day that
Rebecca's mother said to her: make q
fire and put the kettle on; father and the
boys will be at home soon." Tho echo
of this command had scarcely died away
before the mother espied two barges
heading directly for the light. Each
barge was named by about sixteen men,
and carried brass cannon on its bows.
The guard were away. The excited
mother, throwing up her arms, exclaimed
children, the redcoats are coming"
At glance the girls comprehended the
situation. "In the north room of the
house" said Aunt Abby "were kept the
fife and drum belonging to the guard.
Sup into the room rushed Rebecca,
and. returning, handed me the drum,
saying, You be the drummer and I'll be
the ffer.'" Ensconced behind the
light the American army of two began,
"Give 'em the roll CALL" commanded
Becky. This being done, the strains Of
"Hail Columbia" and yankee Doodle"
pealed forth on the air. The music was
continued for some time, now in imita-
ton of an army marching, now counter
marching, until at last it was observed
that the La Hogue displayed q flag on
the masthead as q signal for the men to
return. Peeping from behind the light
Rebecca saw that the barges were return
ing in obedience to the signal. With
Joy beaming in her girlish eyes she said
to her sister, "Scare 'em: told you 80:
see, they are going back" "As soon as
we saw them return" said Aunt Abby,
I'VE struck to playing Yankee Doodle
because the British dislike that. tell
you sir, we just put in on that too"

THE PEASE POISONING.

The second jury in the Pease poisoning
case. after examining twelve witnesses. ar
rived at a verdict that the deceased came to
his death from q dose of carbolic acid ad
ministered by his wife, with intent to kill
That the act was premedtated, felonious
and legal phrazeology to that effect, and or
dered her arrest. The testimony of three
witnesses is said to be quite damaging
They swore that she had on sundry occa-
sions threatened to kill her husband. Our
informant states that her own testimony was
very conflicting, and that the inquest drew
out strong chain of circumstantial evil
dence. As far as We have heard there WAS
no examination of the stomach of deceased
and consequently no proof save the wife's
own admission. Benny Bear, of Clearwater,
anklized the contents of the bottle but who
knows that he drank that stuff save the ac-
cused.
She WAS brought to this city last evening
on the coroper's warrant.

DISGUSTING SCENES.
A plaos Where the Most Grossly Immoral
Exhibitions are Open to the
Yopth of the City.

q saw your article in yesterdays issue re
lating to the shameful doings At Riverside
Park" said gentleman to reporter yes
terday. "and was surprised at your saying
the place was ontside Of your jurisdiction
No place reached BY your paper is outside
of your Jurisdiction. You may be regarded
as the guardian Of the public, and it is you,
duty to expose all things detrimental to pub.
lie morals, as you would warn your readers
against thieves"
Soon the reporter me: another gentleman
who spoke tn him on the same question, and
and who said, eff you newspaper men don't
lay this thing bare it will become an intol-
cradle nuisance. l live down toward the
park, and although have never been there
have heard Of the drunkenness and grossly
immoral exhibitions held there, and do
know that the frequenters of that place
make night, or rather early morning, hid
eous with Their shouts and bawdy house
songs as they pass my house on their way
home"
After third gentleman had talked with
the reporter in q somewhat similar strain,
the scribe started on tour ofinquiry, to see
what facts he could learn of the place from
those who had been there. One man was
met who said he was there one night be-
tween one and two o'clock, and that he had
been to SO many tough places it was hard 10
disgust him, but he really was disguised.
81 never saw anything SO beastiy and dis
gushing" said be. There were eight or ten
women and about twenty men there. They
were all in a besstly state of intoxication,
particularly the women. They were dane
ing upon platform and the women used
the vilest and most filthy language
imaginable end purposely exhibited
their persons, laying themselves bare up to
the waist, and in that manner stepping just
off the platform to attend to call of nature.
/ haye seen the csn-can and all that but the
girls wore tights, but these wore none. 1t
was too rough for me. Liquors were sold
openly. Another man told about the same
story and said he would swear to it.
We have felt q delicacy about publishing
this state of things, but public morals de-
mand halt in this career of debauchery.
Prostitutes and keepers of houses of ques-
tionable repute, have lately been holding
high carnival, not only at this park, but in
the city and have been Haunting their shame
in the presence Of our people until they
have become intorable and it becomes
necessary to call halt. Imagine boys
of fifteen or eighteen attending such e1-
hibitions as those reported at this park.
What could be expected but moral ruin.
Something must be done in the premises
and that without delay.
