LIES LESSON.

Il love be sweet, and youth be loves young
bride,
And both be ours, do we but hold them fast );
If pleasures golden wings earth's sorrows
hide,
And at our feet life's jewels rare be cast;
If hope and faith attend us to the last,
And if her path be strewn with garlands
gay,
And glory link the present with the past
Why should we long for future joys to-day,
And fail to pluck the flowers that bloom
along the ways
When love has fed, and youth with rapid
wings
Pursues him fast DER distant hill and dale,
And pleasure to our feet no longer brings
The joys that now are but an empty tale;
And when we vainly strive to pierce the veil
That separates tomorrow from to-day,
And where we fondly thought to win we fail
Then as we view lifes tear-dimmed page we
say:
"Oh, would that we had plucked the flow.
ers along the way!"

DEATH OF JACOB SHARP.
The cold Man Finally KieIis to the
Fell Destroyer,

Inc ''OEl EInsAAIy 10 tAc
Fell Destroyer.
Jacob Sharp died at o cop. m., after a Sc
we're attack of coughing and vomiting. His
wife, his two daughters his son-in-law, Mr..
Selmes, and his grandson, George, were
present at the time. Mr.. Sharp had been
growing weaker all day. and fits of cough
ing and choking during the evening had
lesSened his strength still more. One OF
these spells came on just before o'clock,
and was followed by another, from which he
could not rally, death resulting from heart
failure DR.. Loomis had been called away
by an urgent summons shortly before and re-
turned few moments after the patients
death. He says Mr.. Sharp's final illness was
capillary bronchitis, complicated with heart
and kidney disease and diabetes.
Jacob Sharp was born in Montgomery
county on July 6, 1917. As is well known, he
had no early advantages in the way of edu-
cation beyond those afforded in the common
schools. His fathers family was poor, and
he had to shift for himself early in life. He
passed his boyhood and early manhood in
Troy, Schenectady and other places in that
region. He engaged in almost any kind
of work to which he could turn
his hand When he was 20 years old his
father died 1t was when young Sharp was
81 years old that he made his entrance into
the city where he was destined to pass nearly
all the rest of his life and become identified
with one of the great phases of the city's de-
velopments-horser railroading. He came in
most simple manner, his vehicle being
Hudson river log raft, he himself only
''hand" in the employ of others. But
he got view of the city sufficient to
raise visions of money-malling in his mind
and the ways to get to it. After making
these trips for some time, young Sharp went
in on his own account to deliver logs and
timber on contract; then, turning oppor-
tunity into golden sands, he added the pur-
chase and sale of logs and timber for his own
benefit to his transactions. Next, still turn
ing his discernment in business to advantage,
Sharp identified himself with the growth of
this city by using his timber and lumber to
build piers and bulkheads along the East and
North rivers. 1t was in this business that he
laid the foundation of his fortune.

FUND FOR MRS. WAITE.
Proposed Voluntary Contribution by
the bar rAssOciatiOn.

Steps are being taken by the members OF
the Washington bar and others to raise by
voluntary contribution of the bar associa-
tions throughout the country fund for the
benefit of the widow of Justice Waite. Judge
A. p. Edgerton, an old and intimate friend
of the family has written letter favoring
the project. He said: 1.-THE amount and the
exact condition of the estate of the late chief
justice require that the proposed effort to
create a fund for Mrs. Waite, should be sue
cessful. 1t is fully justified. 1t is true that
the nation has measured the ripe years of the
lawyer by the highest judicial honors, but it
is now necessary that the bar should add
their testimony of respect and friendship
for the living to the nations honor to the
dead.

GEN. CROOK MOVES FORWARD.
Promoted by the President to Take
G,n. Terry's Place.


Gsn. Terry's Place.
President Cleveland showed his customary
wisdom and fairness in filling the two inn
portant vacancies in the list Of the general
officers of the army. Gen. Crook, who be-
comes a ma ior- general, was the senior briga-
dier-general of the army, ard was unques-
tionably entitled to the promotion. Gen.
Miles was an applicant for it, but without
any disparagement of Gen. Niles fitness, it
was held that, as Gen. Crook is an officer of
high standing in the army, and retires many
years before Miles will retire, it was proper
that be should be given major-generalship
now. Gen. Crook was graduated from the
military academy in 1852, and was assigned
to duty in California. He entered the civil
war as captain, and served with distinction
until its close, when he was in command of
the cavalry of the army of the
Potomac Later he was assigned
to duty in the West where his
reputation as an Indian fighter has been
made. A considerable number of the
colonels of the army were applicants for the
appointment to the brigadier-g generalship,
which was consequent on the promotion of
one of the brigadisrsto to ma ajor-generalship
and among them were some worthy officers
But certain objections existed tonearly every
one of the applicants, and the president,
therefore, took younger man with an un-
exceptional military record-John R. Brooke
of the Sd infantry. Gen Brooke is one of the
finest officers in the army, and the appoint
ment is undoubtedly the best that could
possibly have been made. He is not West
Pointer, but served during the war as
an officer of Pennsylvania volun-
teers, becoming colonel of the SD Pennsyl-
vania in November, 1861. He rose to the
rank of gadier-general in 1864, and was
breveted major-general at the close of the
war. The lowest rank he has ever held in
the regular army was that of lieutenant
colonel, and he has served for 10 years with
his present regiment, having become colonel
of it nine years ago. Gen. Brooke is man
of imposing physique, and will make an ad-
mirable department commander. He mar
riied the daughter Of the late Gov. Onslow
known to many New HAMPSHIRE men.

HOUSE After the reading Of the Journal
in the house an effort was made by tho
friends of the special order, the direct tax
bill, to make an arrangement by which
final vote upon the measure would be in
sured at o'clock, but Mr.. Breckenridge Of
Arkansas objected to the proposition. Mr..
E. B. Taylor of Ohio thereupon moved to
limit general debate to one hour. The op-
ponentS of the bill then resorted to flibnster-
ing tactics
The entire day and evening was consumed
with dilatory motions, submitted by oppo-
nents of the bill, Messrs. Oltes of Alabama
and Breckenridge of Arkansas being the
most active ilibusters At TO- 90 p. m the
clerk had called 15 roll calls, and was Just
beginning on another. The prospects of an

sofas in the rear of the chamber were occu-
pied by members, who were either asleep. or
were chatting and smoking to
keep awake. The advocates of the
direct tax bill, feeling that
an adjournment would endangeT the passage
of the bill at this session, were iabOrng to
prevent ad diournment while the other side
were trying to bring it about. At l a. m. all

niquor in Arts and Manufactures.

Colonel Switzler, Chief of the Bureau OF
Statistics in Washington, at the request OF
the National Druggists Association, entered
into an extensive correspondence and col.
alcohol used in the arts and manufactures.
The result is that Mr.. Switzer estimates that
only about ten per cent. of the total produc-
tion of alcohol is used in the arts and manu-
factures. This is much lower estimate than
formerly, but probably more nearly correcss
