THE FEE PALACE.

Emerald walls, diamond floor, roof Of onyx
hue,
Ye CLEANED on the hosts of the Ice Kings
band.
And the fame spread out from the North
Star land,
or towering turrets Of dazzling blue.
How fercely and long did the combat rage,
When the Fire King bold with his army came;
His melting breath, aud their darts of flame.
Sent chill to the heart of the NOrthland
sage.
Storming with feint OF true battle cries.
What gallant defence of the royal hallsl
While the roseate glow from the star-crowned
walls,
Fell Ike charm on the watching eyes.
But the pageant thronging the spacious street
Has vanished as earthly pageants will,
Voices OF laughter are hushed. and still
Is the joyous tread OF the marching feet.
Boreas has gone TO his Actic home,
Where dusky legions his triumph sing.
His prayer for Saint Paul, the Aurora's
wing
WIN upward bear to tho Manito's throne.
In Punic faith has the truce been kept,
Witnessed by all the gay carnival throng.
For stealthily sapping the battlements strong
Were the Fire Kings hosts, while We thought
they slept.
Now fading ruin salutes the sky,
That south winds shatter, and bright suns
ray.
Like tabled Niobe IL weeps away.
No mystical arts will the Ice King try.
II fingers in memory beautiful thing,
With our childhood's dreamland OF Arab lore,
While TO throbbing hearts who its praises
sing,
Hope sweetly whispers, it will rise once
more.

MIR. Lamar and GnmnlieI.

Washington Letter to the Philadelphia Press.
Bob Ingersoll visited Washington last
week. After making the capital his home
for many years, he has removed to New
York, where he hopes the profits of his
legal business will greatly exceed the CON-
Portable income he derived from the prac-
tlce of his profession in the District of
Columbia. Ingersoll has many friends
among the politicians of both parties and
one of his admirers is Secretary Lamar.
The infidel called upon the secretary of the
interior department, and Ingersoll, in the
course of half an hours conversation, said
scores or witty things, which Lamar, lying
back upon the sofa in his private Office, en-
jOyed immensely. lngersoll finally made
some remark in Iidicule of orthodox Christi
anity. There was a momentary pause
when he finished. and the Secretary jumped
to his feet throwing his long hair with an
impatient gesture back from his forehead.
"Ingersoll," he exclaimed, Il hope to live
to see the day when you will come to this
capital city and preach to the world Christ
and him cruciied! With your magnificent
ability and splendid oratOry you could work
a revival such as the world has never seen.
l hope. Bob, to see the day when this will
come to pass, and you could not engage in
a grander or more noble work."
An awkward silence followed and the in
fidel appeared to be momentarily embar-
raised. He then told story about Cor
nish miner, who, not believing in God,
sacrificed his life willingly to succor fifty of
his comrades imprisoned in mine. The
story was not pertinent to the secretary's
remarks and in no sense an answer TO the
appeal. Ingersoll seemed to appreciate
this, and he soon turned the conversation
away from religious subjects.

THE CHURCH PROBLEM AGAIN.

THE CHURCH PROBLEM AGAIN.
There is one clergyman in ST. Paul who
doesn't believe that it is the duty of preach
ers to quit their pulpits and invade all sorts
of places in quest of the lost sheep of Israel.
He believes that the church is the sheepfold
and if the flock stray off il is their place TO
come back to shelter, or to suffer the con-
sequences OF the storm in case their obsti-
macy impels them TO stray out Looking at
il in one light this seems to be a reasonable
view. The churches are built for
public worship and the pastors are
employed to supply spiritual food. The
argument Is that the house is provided and
open to all, and if anybody stays out in the
cold it is their own fault. But when looked
at in another light, this view of the rela-
tons of church and people is fallacious.
If CHRIST had pursued such q policy the
world would never have been redeemed.
According to the Christian theory ii is be-
cause He left the courts of glory to take up
His abode in q sinful world and among sinful
men that salvation was made possible. The
main difficulty in the solution of
the problem of bringing the church
has lost sight of the simple and practical
methods of primitive times and Is attempt
ing TO establish standard of moral dignity
and ecclesiastical purity of its own creation.
The gospel can not be soiled by being
preached in theater or a skating rink.
Neither can minister be defled by pro-
claiming its truths to sinful souls, even
though it be in saloon or a gambling den.
EameStness is of more avail in church
work than fastidiOusness. If there were
two congregations awaiting the services of
a minister at the same hour-One composed
of well-dressed church members seated in
comfortable pews in the church building,
and the other an audience of cOsmopoliteS
gathered together in a rink or a theater, and
the pastor, doubtful which he should serve
first, would refer the matter 10 the great
Head of the Church, the answer would I'M
questiOnablY come back as it rang out upon
the plains of Judea over 1,S00 years ago
call the sinners, not the righteous, to re-
pentance.

RIGHTS OF THEATER-GoERs.

A case which may be of interest to the
patrons of American theaters has just been
decided in England. A man who had pur-
chased ticket was refused admittance to
the theater. He brought suit for damages
and recovered simply the price of the ticket.
The defense was that the purchaser made
himself obnoxious to others in the audience
by loud and incessant talking during the
performance, and was therefore not a de-
sirable customer. The evil thus indicated
prevails very largely also in the theaters of
this country. In fact it must necessarily
be found wherever exist selfish people re-
CARELESS of the rights and enjoyment of
Others. In every audience are TO be found
those who for some reason prefer to enter
tain each other and annoy every
one within hearing distance with
ceaseless chatter to attending strictly TO the
purpose for which they supposedly came to
the theater. The same sluggishneSs which
prevents them from caring whether or not
they are interfering with the pleasure of
others renders them impervious to polite
hints and disregardful of the most porten-
tous frowns. Nothing short of positive
ejectment is likely to stamp out the pest,
and it is to be feared that the manager who
will have the courage to proceed to that ex-
tremity has hardly appeared upon the scene
in this country. Should he do so, however,
not only would he be supported in law by the
recent English decision, but he would also
receive the approval of all who attend the
theater for legitimate pleasure which should
not be spoiled by the babble of idle and
selfish onlookers.

Loaded with Dynamite.

NEW YORK, March 7.-0n Saturday
night last Chief of Police Murray learned
that car 2545 of the Merchants Dispatch
line was standing ON a side track of the
New York Central railroad in the suburbs
of the city. In the unsettled condition of
the labor field, the police were made anx-
ious by the information that the car was
loaded with dynamite. The fire de-
partment and bureau of cembustlbles were
notified and the facts developed. The car
had been sealed in Missouri. whence it had
been shipped to powder manufacturing
firm in New Jersey. Beside the shipping
ticket there was card on the car with the
warning "CombustibIes: handle with care"
The car is being watched, but anxiety is
allayed. the authorities believing the car
has merely gone astray by error and landed
