GATES AJAR.

Gazing where the setting suu-rays
STEPPED the clouds in georgous dyes, s,3aH
Stood my little maid last evening,
All her soul within her eyes.
MAMA! cried the earnest, breathless, 10
With faith no doubt could mar, wX
isn't that what you've been reading?" a.
Isn't that the Coates Ajar?"
L can almost see the shining
OF the streets all paved with gold;
can almost see the cleaning
OF the harps the angels held:
Almost, Mama. for the glory -
Shines so bright it dazzles me,
"Mama!' here the soft voice faltered, S{1
Amt good enough to see. -.
"Is it cause cried this morning
When You called me from my play?
II try again tomorrow,
BE real careful all the day,
Give you no. tho slightest trouble,
Study, all my might and main
Won't God let me see it plainly,
When he cpes the gates AGAIN.
NAY, my darling-ycars Of striving,
Day by day, AMI hour by hour,
Every duty still fulfilling.
Could not give the wondrous power,
Yet would mist Of sin AMI weakness
From your gaze the vision bar
Never human eyes, unaided
Penetrate the Gates Ajar!'
Filled with wonder, vague yet wishful,
Gazed the soft blue eyes in mine
Reading not my hidden meaning,
Egs' 10th the bright dream to resign.
E"Neyer, Mama! shall | never
Sec that heaven so bright and fair.
Ill! | leave you, Mama, darling,
Till the angels take me thcre?"
May, my child, that heavenly radcncc
Ner on earthly vision falls
But to those whose hope and treasure
Garnercd are within its walls.
God gives oft-times spirit glympses
Ottheir glorious home afar,
And to cheer life's thorny pathway
Sets the golden gates njar!''
Then how petty seems the trials
That heset their onward way.
or what little worth the baubles
Pleasures show to temp astray.
No more weak and no more weary
What this perfect bliss can mar
While Faiths eyes behold the glories

Bind it TO your baby heart,
That for those who love Him, Jesus

BILE that Paddy will make good fight with
Costigan if he goes into the ring in good.
clean condition. He is inclined to bend his
elbow too often at times, and if he had
gone in for bout with Costigan last Sat
urday night he would have been bested as
he could not have made one pass. In the
dressing room. after Costigan had accepted
Norton's challenge, the former pugilist was
making some loud talk, and Norton
said: what er yer talkin' erbout?
Ye never licked ennybody in
vel life." This warmed Dennys blood up
a trife and he holly replied, "Well rll
show yer how quick | kin lick yOu."
If the fight comes off it is quite appar-
ent that it will be for blood, and some
good hard smuggling may be looked for, but
scientific points will be hard to find. Nor-
ton has supply of grit and fights gamely,
as was proven by his showing with Demp-
sey last week, and he is not bad tactician
Of course he is in no condition now for a
hot ring contest and will probably not
train for the fight. but he is confident of
success and stoutly declares that it would
please him most to fight with two-Ounce
gloves, which is an impossibility. however,
In this state at the present time. Costigan
has record back of him, but it is
rather aged. He claims at one time to have
been champion lightweight pugilist of the
world, but he has now grown into the
heavyweight circle and carries around
with him burden of superfluous flesh,
which tells on his wind when he exerts
himself. This was shown in his bout with
Tom Cleary last Thursday night, in which
he acted more like comedian than prize
fighter. Under these circumstances it is
not unlikely that the two men will make an
interesting fight, and as eight-ounce gloves
will be used there is no probability that
either man will suffer extreme punishment.

St. Paul Again to the Front.


The 1900 people who went out to the
West Seventh street base ball park yester-
day afternoon, saw the best game yet played
there. True, the st. Paul team made sew
eral errors, but none of them proved very
costly. Minneapolis scored but three
errors, and these were in three different
innings. The game hung in the balance
until the last half of the eighth inning,
when st. Paul fairly won it by heavy bat
ting. Cleveland'S home run in the first in
ming was greeted with tumultuouS applause,
and little later Horan received an ovation
for catching long fly from Douthett's bat
with one hand. Koran also distinguished
himself in the fifth inning by getting under
a fly from Wilmot's bat which seemed a
safe double-bagger. The crowd was given
ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO YELL
when Foley stopped hot grounder from
Cleveland. The two-base hit by Black
stock was the only one of its kind made.
All of the six hits of Minneapolis were
singles. Wilmot and Tray each muffed
fly, but their long runs before reaching the
ball made the errors eXcusable. Duryea's
pitching was fine. He was hit for three
singles in the first inning, but after that
was hit but three times, once in the second,
once in the fifth and once in the seventh in
ming. Bates pitched we'll up to the eighth
inning, only six hits having been made off
him. AT that point, however, he was badly
punished. Cleveland led off with single,
Wilmot took his base ON balls, and Clark.
Duryea, Tray and Blackstock followed
with singles. A wild pitch and an error at
third enabled all these men to score. The
score in detail is appended:

GAs-PIPE CARTRIDGES.

CHICAGO, May 23.-Ever since the night
of the riots and the day following, when
the search of houses was commenced, the
police of the West North avenue station
and residents of the district have been find
ing bits of dynamite, gaspipe, cartridges
and rifle cartridges in houses on the
prairies and under the sidewalks in their
immediate vicinity. A little over a
week ago number of dynamite
cartridges wrapped up in piece of red oil
cloth were found under sidewalk. Next
a boy on Quad avenue found some rifle
cartridges, and two days after this another
boy took to his mother, for her inspection.
some fifty rounds that he had picked up on
a prairie. To-day some small boys were
playing ball on Robey street near the old
Chicago q Pacific or Bloomingdale track,
when the ball went into gutter and under
the sidewalk. A boy had to crawl under
and while looking for his bail found
piece of gas-pipe, and reported more where
that came from. He told his father, and
the police were notified. They searched
and found
UNDER THE SIDEWALK

than two feet south of the railroad track
that small hole had been scraped out. In
this hole were thirty-one pieces of gas pipe
one and one-Quarter inches i'll diameter and
one to ten inches long, wrapped in piece
OF red oiicloth. OF these, thirty were loaded
with dynamite, being stopped at the end
with round blocks of wood. A fuse about
eight inches in length was attached to each,
and all were ready for immediate use. The
last piece of pipe was not loaded, but
seemed to have been very recently cut, as
the oil was still upon its end In
the hole was also found two
boxes of dynamite caps and a
four-quart tin dinner pail, containing a
large quantity of fuse. some waterproof
and some common. The explosive outfit
was taken to the Chicago avenue station.
The gas-pipe cartridges were exactly
similar to those captured by Capt. Setback
in Louis Lingg's house. 1t is believed that
the stuff was placed under the sidewalk by
some of the anarchists who live in the
neghborhood, and who feared that their
houses might be searched. 1t is evident
that the one placing it there desired to use
it again, from the care with which it was
wrapped I'D.

M,CAFFREY WANTS TO FIGHT.
And Would Like TO Meet Sullivan to
a Finish.

Special to the Globe.
New YORK, May 23.-Regarding Pat
Sheedy's offer to back Sullivan against the
English champion, prominent sporting
man said:
I hardly think that Jem Smith will accept
Sheedy's $4,000 and come here and fight Sui
Ivan six rounds en- the Polo grounds on the
Fourth of July. The English racing season
is at its height, and Jem is most needed now
by his bookmaling hackers. For this if for
no other reason, l think he will decline the
proffered $500. What crowd there would
be to see such an international fight, if it
could be brought about at the time and place
mentioned. Standing room would be at
premium at $40.
Dominck Mccartney is anxious to take
the place of Smith in the event of the latter
declining Patrick Sheedy'S offer. Dominick
said:
don't think there is any possibility of Jem
Smith accepting Patrick Sheedy's offer / am
ready to take Smiths place on the terms
named-he to pay me S3,000-and will fight
Sullivan on the polo grounds in New York Oh
the fourth of July. If he can get the grounds
on that day for Smith he certainly get them
for me. When I met Sullivan in Cincinnati.

stance. We fought seven rounds in reality,
and at the end of the last one asked him to
keep on, but he declined. I am the only man
who ever forced him to make such q
proposition. Now, will say that at the time
and place mentioned 1 will not only agree to
fight him six rounds, but to d finish, should
it take one round or sixty. If l lose-and l
will try my best not to- must have the
$4,000 the same as Smith would. If win, 1
want in addition a percentage of the gate re-
ceipts. would prefer to meet Sullivan to a
finish, because then could fight him my way
without having comments made on my
methods of fighting. L honestly think could
outlast him, and on the terms offered Smith
will be glad to try aud do so.
Dominick has long contemplated another
meeting with Sullivan and has been biding
his time. He thinks he sees his opportunity
now, and he certainly has not let the grass
grow under his feet before embracing it. A
fight TO finish between him and Sullivan
would be the star fistic event of the year.

BILLY WILSON IMPROVING.
The Clever 81. Paul Boy Picking up
Wonderfully.

Wonderfully.
Wonderful improvement is noticeable in
Billy Wilson's mode of sparring since his
memorable fight in Siek's grove with Patsy
Cardiff. 1t was remarked by those who
witnessed the fight and saw him in his ex-
hibitions with Dempsey and Hadley last
Saturday night at the Hilton benefit, that
Billy's defeat had taught him valuable
lesson and he was prOtiting by it. The
rapidity with which he counters and
follows up blow is something almost
wonderful and he is learning to use his
right hand more freely. In Billy's right
lays mis- power. 1t was blow from this
that sent Mervine Thompson to the floor
like a stricken OK in fifty-one seconds
in Market hall one year ago. and Cardiff
remarked while he was dressing after his
fight with Wilson, that if Billy ever hit a
man square blow with his right hand, the
man would go out Immediately. 1t is like
the kick of steer.
Billy needs manager and trainer who
will teach him generalship. Let him get a
cool head ON his shoulders and he will make
hard man to whip. When interviewed
yesterday he said that Cardiff had told his
friends that he would fight Wilson after he
met Dempsey. AS it is by no means prob
able that Cardiff will ever meet Dempsey
for blood, it doesn't look as though
Billy would get chance to
go at him, but he is anxious and
says he will either get Cardiff to fight him
Or he will brand him as coward. AS soon
as he learns whether Cardiff will meet him
or not, he will turn his attention to Grover,
the Omaha man, who wants to meet him.

LONDON, May 23.-The Gladstone COM
mittee is making final effort to conciliate
the Radical dissenters. The committee
has made overtures to Mr.. Chamberlain,
promising that if he abstains from voting
against the home-rule bill the measure will
be dropped after the second reading, and
that the government will then support a
resolution affirming the supremacy of the
imperial parliament and promising ade-
quate protection to the Irish minority. Mr..
Chamberlain's acceptance of the offer de-
ponds upon Mr.. Gladstone giving guaran-
tees that this course will be followed.
The Radical Workingmen's Clubs of LON
don are organizing demonstration in Hyde
park in favor of the home-rule bill. A
demonstration of radical workingmeu was
held IN East London to-day. Speeches
were delivered from four platforms. Reso-
lutions were adopted favoring the home
rule bill, expressing confidence in Mr..
Gladstone and favoring dissolution of par.
lament if the home-rule bill be rejected.

Faas pitched effectively for the Milwaukees,

Dougherty's slashing two-base drive to CEN
