A POET.
Judge Peck's Lecture Highly Appre-
ciated in Laramie.

The lecture delivered at University
chapel last night by Hon. William Ware
Peck upon The Poet as a Teacher" was
an excellent production. Judge Peck has
read much, and absorbed all he has read.
He is a scholar of much higher cast than
men usually attain to. His thoughts are
more of inspirations than of study. A
student born, filled with a b~rilliancy of
mind which grows brighter with age, A
scholar, who has acquired all that has
come in the way. One whose intelligent
resources are unlimited, who gathers the
fruits OF literature without effort, who
lives upon the fullness OF luxurious books.
Unlike so many lectures upon similar
topics his was in no wise common place.
There was a new thought in every SEN
tence, or a thought clothedin new words.
1t was as instructive as it was interesting,
as ennobling as it was delightful. 1t could
have been no better, brighter nor purer.
The closest critic could not have found
one flaw in the golden circle of ideas. No
lover of poetry could have wished for
something better. No student of poetry
could have been taught q more thorough
lesson.
He showed the value of the teachings
Of the poets. He showed the evil effect
of the works of brilliant immoral men,
and the blessings of bright, truthful, pure
ones. He compared the intellectual
h~eritages left by different poets who,
though matched in mind, widely differ in
qualities of soul.
His recitation of the Bridge of Signs
was eloquent. pathetic, pure and graceful.
1t was a realistic production of a grandly
beautiful picture. 1t was an inspired pre-
sentation of an Enacted drama. 1t filed
the room with its pathos and its inspira-
ton, and was responded to by every per-
son present who could appreciate poetry.
That which might be described as
e%pirltual or mental telepraphy conveyed
TO his hearers the unconscious p%oetical
magnetism when the lecturer possesses.
1t filled the room as thoroughly and effec-
lively as would the scent of a thousand
roses fresh picked from dewey bushes
Like a flood of sunlight the intellect of
the lecturer shone full in the faces of the
entire audience.
William Ware Peck is himself a poet.

HORRIBLY MANGLED.
James Burke Run Over and Killed
On the Union Pacific.
His Head Severed from the Trunk
and an Arm Crushed.
The Accident the Result of His Own
Carelessness.

The horribly mangled remains of James
Burke, a laboring man who has made his
home at Laramie for the past three years,
we're found lying across the track in the
Union Pacific yards at that place yesterday
morning. Burke's head was entirely sew
cred from the trunk, an arm had been
ground into a pulpy, shapeless mass and
the body was otherwise disigured.
So near as can be ascertained Burke
was crossing the track between two cars
when the engine started up, throwing him
to the ground. Although frightfully man
gled' he was recognized by a Laramie
business man with whom he had become
acquainted. A shortened limb established
his identity beyond a doubt after those
who gazed upon the disfgured features
expressed the belief that the corpse was
that of James Burke, an honest lrishman
who had Joined the navy to fight for his
adopted country.
The remains were discovered by a
switchman who was riding on the yard
engine. He signalled the engineer so
soon as possible but the locomotive could
not be stopped until it had passed over
the CHASTITY heap. Particles of flesh and
spots of poor Burke's life blood were de-
scernable along the track for several
yards. The sight made strong men pale
and caused a feeling OF mixed fear, horror
and sadness to thrill the beholders.
No papers or letters were found on the
person of deceased and. it is presumed
that he had no relatives in this country.
His remains were inferred in the Potter's
field yesterday afternoon. IKE
The c%oroner's inquest returned a YER
dict releasing the railway company from
all responsibility in the matter. In the
course of the inquisition it was learned
that Burke was sober when last seen alive
and had stated that he was about to de-
part for Rock Springs.

Talk about the appetite of girls" said
O portly matron at a domestic aid agency,
with a smile. Whatever may be the
matter with that of our native born girls
there is certainly no fault to be found
with the digestion of the foreign born
help hiring out in private families. Why,
it's often been a wonder to me what
ravenous appetites a good many of these
girls develop. Now, there was a 17-year-
old English girl, a small but plump
creature, who went to work in a family
of two near Lincoln park. She was a
good girl, quick, neat and conscientious,
but after a fortnight the lady came to ms
and told me she couldn't keep Nellie airy
longer; she'd ruin them; she ate too
much. Would you believe it, sir, that
small girl ate three pounds of sirloin beef
stake at n breakfast. A couple of
pounds of rare roast beef, together with
bread, potatoes and pie enough to feed a
starving family for a week, was a regular
thing with her. The first two or three
days it amused that young married couple
20 whom she had hired out. They used
to sit and watch her operations at the
table with bullying eyes. They thought
she had been starving and had to fill out
again. But mott was the same every
day. They had to give it up. That girl
was actually b~ankrupting them. The
grocer's and butchers bills at the end of
the week were as high as they would
have been for a boarding house.
1.-The there was another girl, q Ger
man. She was an old maid of 80 or
thereabouts. She was as thin as a rail
and so pale she looked as If she had con-
sumption. But the way she punished the
eatablesl My sakesl And with that she
never gained any flesh. She was a rood
servant, efficient, faithful and exceed
ingly methodical. But she came to me
every week for a new place. Nobody
could afford to keep her-that's the fact.
And, generally speaking. my experience
of many years with these foreign born
hired girls is that they glory in an enor-
nous appetite and enjoy their meals i'm
mensely. Some people think they Just
do it on purpose to bust the family But
no; it's natural with them

THE MAINE ELECTION.
Republicans Claim Over Tween
ty Thousand Majority.
Only Half the Towns Yet
Heard From.
A Large Crowd at the En-
campment at Columbus.
The Maine Election.


PORTLAND, Sept. 10.-The Maine state
biennial election occurs to-day, when a
governor, four congressman and members
of the state legislature are to be chosen.
The Republican congressman are all can
didates for re election and all but one dis
trict, the first, is considered Republican
without question. In the first district a
strong contest is being made, VIM. Emery
being the Democratic nominee. There
are four candidates for governor, Edwin
Q. Burleigh of Bangor (Rep.), William L..
Putnam, lately fishery treaty commissioner,
of Portland (Dem.), Volney B. Cushing
of Bangor (Prohib. J, and L. ii. Simons
of Rockland (Labor). The vote in 1886
stood: Republican. 6S, 991; Democrat,
5 1929; Prohibition, 1865.
Latest Returns.
PORTLAND, Sept. 10.-There are SOY
towns and plantations in Maine, of these
returns have been received from 24I,
which give Burleigh (Rep.) 6,O19, Put
nam Oem.) Al, 64S, Gushing (Pro.) LIZA,
scattering 957.
The same towns in 1886 gave the Re-
publicans 48, 160, Democrats 80, Pro.
h%ibitionists PAP, scattering 2S. Bur-
leigh's plurality IA. 1878, against 10, 065 in
1886, q Republican gain of 43S.
The 266 towns to hear from gave in
1886 the Republicans 20, 831, Democrats
1874, Prohibitionists 1,426. If the
same rate of gain and loss is maintained
the final vote will stand Republicans,
S0,252; Democrats, 60,445; Prohibition
lists, 2 $40; scattering, 957; total IA, 164,
with a plurality for the Republicans Of
19,S07.
In 1884 the total vote stood Republi-
cans, 1869; Democratic, Is, 1854, a Re-
publican plurality of 10, 735.
The labor vote this year is included in
the scattering, but evidently the losses of
the scattering should be assigned to the
Prohibition vote.
-Four representatives to congress are
elected with increased majorities.
AUGUSTA, Sept. l0.-Blaine has tele-
graphed Gen. Harrison as follows: The
returns up to 9 o'clock indicate that the
Republican candidate will have more
than 10000 majority over the Democratic
candidate, the largest majority since 1866.
The Prohibition vote falls off every
where.
LEWISTON, Sept. 1O.-In the second
district Ex-Governor Dingley, Republican,
is reelected to congress by nearly 5000
plurality over Allen, Democrat, and 3 $500
majority over all, a Republican gain of
about 1000 over his majority of 1886, and
500 more than in 1884.
AUGUSTA, Sept. 1O.-Chairman Man
ley has sent the following telegram to
Hon. NJ. s. Quay:
We have carried the state by a plurality
of 20, ZOO. Have chosen the entire dele
cation in congress. Reeds majority will
reach 2, 900. The majorities for Dlngley,
Boutelle and Milliken will exceed 5000
respectively. We have chosen every SEN
ator and nearly four.fifths of the repre-
sentatives in the legislature and have car
ried every county in the state on the pop
ular vote.

An English

LONDON, Sept. lO.-The Chronicle
says: The exclusion of the fisheries ques-
ton from the letter of acceptance of
President Cleveland is strong testimony
as to the purely factions character of the
rejection of treaty. 1t is utterly impossi-
BILE to doubt that the reelection of Presi-
dent Cleveland would mean the eventful
revival and ratification of the treaty. 1t
is immaterial to discuss what President
Cleveland s crusade should be called. He
may give it any name he likes so long as
we know it is in fact a crusade of free
trade.

subscription list for the yellow fever suf-
ferers of Jacksonville and telegraphed the

I'VE thank you for your offer to aid us
in the three months of gloom, suffering
and death before us, with 10000 INDECENT

Tor during that time. Were it not for
