Fling down the faded blossoms Of tn
Spring,
| Nor clasp the oses with regretfl
hand;
The Joy of Summer is a vanishe
thing,
| Let it depart; and learn to under
stand ....
The gladness of great calm -th
Autumn rest,
The Peace-of human joys the lates
and the best.
All l remember how, in early days
The primrose and the wild flowel
grew beside
| My tangled forest paths, whose de
vious ways
Filled me with joys of mysteries
untried,
Add terror, that was more than hall
delight,
And sense of budding life and long
ings infinite.
And 1 remember how, in life's hot
noon,
Around my path the lavish roses
shed
Color and fragrance, and the air of
Bresthed rapture,-now those sum-
mer days are fed,
Days of sweet peril, when the serpent
lay
Lurking at every turn of life's en-
chanted way.
The light of Spring, the Summers
glow is o,er;
And 1 rejoice in knowing that, for
me,
The woodbine and the roses bloom
no more,
The tender green is gone from field
and tree,
Brown, barren sprays stand clear
against the blue,
And leaves fall fast, and let the truth
full sunlight through.
For me the hooded herbs of Autumn
grow,
Square-stemmed and sober; mint
and sage,
Hoarhound and balm,-such plants
as healers know;
And the decline of life's long pill
grimage
Is soft and sweet with marjoram and
thyme,
Bright with pure evening dew, not
serpents glittering shine.
And round my path the aromatic air
Breathes health and perfume, and
the turfy ground
Is soft for weary feet, and smooth
and fair,
With little thornless blossoms, that
abound
In safe, dry places, where the noun
tain side
Lies 10 the setting sun, and no i'll
beast can hide.
What is there to regretg Why should
mourn ......
To leave the forest and the marsh
behind?
Or towards the rank, low meadows
sadly turn?
Since here another loveliness find;
Safer, and not less beautiful, l,-ands,
blest
With glimpses, faint and far, of the
long-wished-for-rest.
And SO l drop theroses from my hand,
And let the thorn-pricks heal, and
take my way
Down hill, across a fair and peaceful
land,
Wrapt in the golden calm of dying
day.
Glad that the night is near, and glad
TO know
That, rough or smooth the way, l
have not far to 60.

the dish was removed and given to another

A TROUBLESOME TIITE
Between the President and Fac
uIty of the University.
A QUESTION OF DISCIPLINE
Causes Lively Scene in Secret ses-
sion-Dr. Turner Asks for the
Suspension of Student who
Violated the Rules.


Special Dispateh to he Inteai0acr.
MoRaANpowN, w. Va, May 0.-What
promises to be most bitter fight in the
faculty of the University is said now to
be in progress. The cause of dissension
is on the question, "shall the President
ofthe University be sustained in his eff
forts to maintain discipline"
Last year the faculty found no diff
Guilty in dismissing students on circum-
stantial evidence, but now they, some
of them, refuse to act upon the most
positive proof.
Rule % Of the rules and regulations Of
the University provides that No cadet
shall drink, or bring, or cause TO be
brought within the limits OF the Uni
versity grounds, or have in his room, or
otherwise in his possession, any spiritu-
Gus or intoxicating liquors, without per-
mission from the Commandant, upon
pain Of being discharged, or suffering
such other penalty as may be deemed
requisite by the Faculty"
President Turner discovering that this
rule was being violated by certain
student, summoned him before the facul-
ty. Here it was shown that the student
had in his room case OF beer, which
alone is sufficient to suspend him. 1t
was shown that he not only had it in
his possession, but drank 1t freely and
was liberal in his distribution to friends.
Upon this proof President Turner asked
the faculty to dismiss the student. One
Of the faculty thought that the
mere fact OF finding intoxicating liquor
was insufficient to suspend, but ifit were
proven that the student actually drank
it suspension should follow. Evidence
was produced by the President to the
effect that the beer had been drank in
the room, and then an effort was made
to prove whether the beverage was
actually beer or not.
One question led to another, and be-
fore reaching vote most heated debate
ensued, in which DIR. Turner said that
for the sake OF the honor and the safety
OF the school he must be sustained in
his endeayors to maintain discipline,
and especially in one Of the plainest
cases ever brought to the notice OF the
faculty. GN
1t is rumored that DR.. Turner will
tender his resignation unless he receives
the support OF the faculty in his endeav-
ors to preserve the good name OF the
school. Since DIR. Turner has been at
the head OF the University it has had a
steady and healthy growth, and to-day it
has more students enrolled than ever
known in the history OF the school. The
discipline has been such MS to encourage
those inclined to do right and discoun-
tenance the wrong.

LONDON, May 9.-The statement in
Sofia dispatch, published to-day, of the
existence of plot to liberate PopofF, the
commandant OF the Sofia garrison, who,
a few days ago, was convicted of tinan-
cial crookedness and political turpitudc,
strengthens the already pretty general
belief that an uprising at the Bulgarian
capital is near. In the desperation born
OF its prccarious situation the Bulgarian
Government is revenging itself upon
Russia by the prosecution or persecution
OF every person it can lay its hands
upon who is suspected OF entertaining
views asserting the Cars right, accord
ing to the terms OF the Treaty OF Berlin,
to interposc the objections OF Russia to
certain forms and phases Of government
in the principality. In pursuance Of this
admittedly short-sighted policy Metro
politan Clement has been removed from
the administration OF affairs OF the Greek
Church at the capital, and probably no
act OF the Government OF Prince Ferli-
nand will be more potent to hasten the
the end OF that adventurous reign than
this seemingly gratuitous insult to the

TRENTON, N. j., May 9.-The Republi-

here at noon to-day. The Committee on
Resolutions are hard at work preparing
a strong protective platform, which will
endorse the action of the Legislature in
passing the high license and local option
law. The delegates are evidently for
Blaine. The Young Mems Republican
Club Just before the convention con-
yened, brought in large picture OF Mr..
Blaine and placed it on the stage. Cheer
after cheer filled the air and it was some
time before the outbreak had subsidized.
On rcassembling the temporary or
ganization was nude permanent. The
report of the Committee on Resolutions
was read. The tariff clause was applaud
ed, but the clause endorsing State tenn
perance legislation was greeted with
mingled applause and hisses. The re-
port was adopted. A resolution favor
ing Vim. Walter Phelps for the Presi-
dency was read amid cheers and adopted.
A separate high tariff resolution was
referred to the committee.

PAREERsBURG, W. Va, May 9.-Mr.
Will Hale, formerly Deputy Sheriff OF

effects of a revolver shot fred by his
nephew, a lad named Robert Keys, on
the night before. Young Keys was at
the residence of Andrew woodward, at
Newark, and Mr.. Hale went over to the
house. Mrs. Woodyard thought that
she saw some one on the outside of the
house trying to enter, and became
frightened. Keys got revolver and
fired through the window, striking Hale
in the breast. He was able to walk some
distance, and was not found until next
morning, when his brother Edward
found him and took him home. He died
last night. Young Keys, as stated
above, was Hale's nephew and, OF course,
had no idea whom he was shooting at.

BOULANGERiS BOOK.
Its Striking Features-Ho Appeals to tn
People,

Its Striking Features-He Appeals to tn
People.
PARIS, May 0.-Two hundred and fifty
thousand copies OF General Boulanger's
book, "The German INVASION" were
distributed gratuitously yesterday in the
provinces.
On the first page is picture of a SOL
dier, gun in hand, looking out over the
Eastern frontier. In the distance is
seen the familiar outline of the Stras-
bourg Cathedral. In the first preface
the General gives the following letter:
"FRIENDLY READERS My adversaries
represent me as being an apostle OF war.
1t is for you TO judge, in reading this
book, OF n patriot who has no other in
spiration than high sentiment OF na-
tional dignity. "GEN. BouLANGER."
The letter is dated April 25, the date
OF the election in the Department of the
Nord. The second preface is published
in ertenSO in the Steele, and sums up
about as follows:
The people have two ways OF protect
ing their national independence and
civil rights-the gun and the vote. The
latter shows to the chosen elected the
will Of the people, the former watches
over the security Of the nation against
foreign attack. Hence the army must
conduct the insane and foreign policy.
General Boulanger esteems it that he is
rendering service to his country by
publishing his book, as the Government
has always neglected to give or publish
the war record. He means thus to en-
tighten the garrett hut, workshop and
farmhouse, and to make truth penetrate
into the centre OF the laboring classes;
and even now the General is said to re-
ceive from this voluntary task the sweet
est and highest satisfaction. He uses
the name and prestige OF Gambetta skill
fully.
The local anti-Boulanger papers see
fearful era OF pronunciamentOs should
the Boulanger theory OF political army
become an accepted doctrine. The gem
eral public, however, is not alarmed, be-
cause it is confident that General Saus-
sier will shoot Boulanger the moment
he incites disorder.
In the municipal election in Lozerc,
yesterday, General Boulanger was chosen
by n spontaneous vote. He also received
heavy votes in several other commune
ties.

CLEVELAND, May 9.-The grand jury
at Ravenna, Ohio, to-day returned an
indictment for murder in the first de-
gree against Bill Powell, n former Pitts
burgh rough, who is now serving a
term in the Georgia penitentiary. The
indictment was returned at the instance
of Detective John 7. Norris, who
claims that Powell is one OF the men
who participated with Blinky Morgan
in the murder OF Detective Hulligan.
Norris asserts that neither Coughlin nor
Robinson, the two men convicted with
Morgan, had anything to do with the
Ravenna affair. He says that the four
rescuers were Morgan, Powell, Pat
Hanley and Billy Harrington. Powell
will be brought to Ohio foI trial as soon
us his time is out in Georgia.

SwOPE AND GOODLOE.

Distinguished Kentuckinns.

Sensational Meeting Between the Two
Distinguished KentuckIans.
LEXINGTON, KY, May GA few mo-
ments before IL o'clock yesterday morn
ing, Colonel A. NJ. Swope and Colonel
William Cassius Goodloe, leading Re-
publicans Of the State, met for the first
time since the Louisville Convention.
Colonel Goodloe was standing in the
Phoenix Hotel talking to n number Of
friends when Colonel Swope came up,
and, pushing his friends aside, began to
denounce him in most scathing and
offensive manner. Colonel Goodloe
said that was no place for such an at
tack and refused to resent it then, but
trouble is feared hereafter, as both are
known to be men OF strong physical
courage. The trouble grew out OF the
squabble in the Louisville Convention.
Colonel Goodloe declines to make any
statement in relation to the affair to.
day. A friend who is very close to him
told reporter tonight that Colonel
Goodloe did not have anything to say;
that the Courier-Journdl had misquoted
Goodlee as to what passed in the Louis.
vile Convention, and that ii Colonel
Swope wanted to see Goodloe, he knew
exactly where TO find him.
1t seems that friends Of both parties
are trying to patch up the trouble, but
for while this afternoon it was ex.
pected that blood would be shed. The
affair is not over yet, and what the out
come will be no one can predict.
