And win the buzzing plaudits Of the town,
AMI saLg a song that caroled loud and

And gained at once a blazing. brief

Their YER once deemed a title without

To fame whose phantom radiance long

Another sang hi. soul out TO the stars
AMI the deep hearts OF men. The few

Heard a low, thoughtful strain behind the

As Of some captive In q prison cast
And when that thrilling voice no more was
heard,
Him from his cell in funeral pomp they
bore;
Then all that he had sung and written
stirred
The worlds great heart with thoughts
unknown before.

Fraud I'm Binding Irvine,

The high price Of MANILA, from whic
binding Irvine is made, has induced manu-
facturers to seek cheaper substitutes. Ssal
Is the one most commonly used. It does not
make 50 smooth q Irvine as MANILA, and
though it costs a little less per pound is
really dearest in the end, as 1t has heavier
body and does not go as many hundred feet
to the pound. The cheaper Irvine we have
also found much more liable to tangle or
break in the binder, and a little loss of time
Of men and teams far outweighs the gain
from saving q few cents in the Price Of
twins used ON a field.

BOSTON'S SHAME.
A Picture OF Depravity as Dark as London's.

BosToN, Sept. The new Police Board
has inaugurated its administration over the
lower classes of Boston society by a series
Of bold and sweeping raids upon the crimi-
nal resorts In this city. Nearly forty raids
have taken place In the past three weeks,
and forty-six cases have been successfully
prosecuted in court.
Tonight the latest of these descents was
made. 1t was preeiptated by accurate in
formation that even in this, the cultured
hub of the intellectual universe, virtuous
young girls are sold TO shame for $40, and
the reports made to the authorities rival the
hideous revelations with which the Pail
Mall GLzette startled London.
The most notorious place rifed by the
police was the famous "Retreat," kept by
Rose Cobb, which comprises several rock
cries and buildings extending back into
what Is known as Couch place, and has
long been the rendezvous of negroes and
poor whites, who found an attraction In q
score or more Of white women and girls.
Those who wished TO dance could do so ,
provided they possessed twenty cents to pay
for each dance, the same ostensibly being
made payment for drinks. The motley
throngs which have congregated there
nightly, represented all shades and nation
alities, the negro element of course predom-
mating, 30 far As tue male persuasion Is
concerned, while those of the weaker sex
have been young white girls.
These creatures have been governed with
. rod Of iron by black tyrants, under pre-
tense Of fulfilling the place Of husbands,
whose cxactments have been of most de-
PRAYED nature. Quarrels, strange and sud.
den, leaving Of these unfortunstes, many OF
them to the paupers' lot; serious assaults
and stabbing ARRAYS, murder or two, and
all-night orgies at the "Retrest," have long
shocked the sensibilities of decent people,
who have been at loss to account for the
reasons why such place was allowed TO
exist.
