DIsAPPoINTMEN t.

There are songs enough for the hero
Who dwells on the height of fame;
sing for the disappointed
For those who missed their aim.
/ sing with fearful cadence
For one who stands In the dark,
And knows that his last, best arrow
Has bounded back from the mark.
sing for the breathless runner,
The eager, anxious soul,
Who falls, with his strength exhausted,
Almost in sight of the goal,
For the hearts that break in silence,
With sorrow all unknown,
For those who need companions,
Yet walk their ways alone
There are songs enough for the lovers,
Who. share loves tender pain;
sing for the one whose passion
Is given all In vain
For those whose spirit comrades
Have missed them on the way;
l sing with heart o'erlowing
This minor strain 10 day.
And know the solar system
Must somewhere keep I'm space
A prize for that spent runner.
Who barely lost the race.
For the main would be imperfect,
Unless 1t held some sphere,
That paid for the toll and talent
And love that are wasted here.

It having been settled that volpulsory
contributions to the campaign fund are
to be expected from the District De-
mocracy, the great question has super
vened as to who shall have the handling
of the money. There seems to be some
conflict of authority or opinion on the
subject, but the question will probably
he decided to-day. Expectant contribu-
tors arc expressing no particular eager
ness about it, but would doubtless be
willing to let the question stay unsettled.

THE DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN in Wis
consin was opened in Milwaukee by Col,
William F. Villas, Secretary of the Inte-
rior, who delivered rousing speech in
behalf Of the Democratic administration
of public affairs and in denunciation of
the methods and policies Of the Repub-
lican party-the latter, in the reactionary
course of events, having become the
party of bourbinism and obstruction.
Mr.. Villas steered wholly clear, however,
of what is understood as offensive parti-
sanship, addressing himself to principles
rather than persons, and closing with a
courteous tribute to the character of Mr..
Cleveland's opponent in the Presidential
rHce.

Epistolary handkerchief is the latest thing
among the sentimental cranks Of the day.
Nicely starched and ironed hemstltched hand
kerchiefs are written on with a black lead
pencil But when girl writes her sweetheart

wash the handkerchief, MS 1t would be an
insult to the girl to send her sweet sayings TO
be soaked and rubbed out in q common laun-
dry. Notes sent in this way please the dudes.
As these handkerchiefs are generally sent as
presents, and cost from 80 cents TO 81 each,
their visits are few and far between. They
are folded as small as possible, ironed and
pressed so as to 1T an ordinary envelope and
sent like q regular letter.-[N. y. Telegram.

TIE LOSS OF HECTOR.

THE LOSS OF HECTOR.
Hector, the Poodle Bah of the White
House, has mysteriously disappeared.
Does it occur to any one,
To say where Hector's gopei
Has anybody scooped him In
Between the dusk and dawnt
Oh, for POINTER on his fate
To setter hearts at rest;
Doggone the man that took him of,
Oh, may his name be guessed
we'll hound him to the ends of earth,
Well do II his footsteps late,
And early, too, from now henceforth--
We must retaliate,
No punishment can quite suffice
To mako this evil just
And public office will become
No more public trust
All, can 1t b@ some Democrat,
Despite OF all the laws,
Has terrieri,hed poor Hector and
Removed him without cause.
Perhaps he's dead oh, better thought
OF young life then curta!led;
To canine's fair and happy land,
Perhaps HIS bark has sailed.
Whatever Hector's fate may be,
Well bet he met 1t game,
And yet We cannot help but say
1t is a dogl gone shame.

The ABsURDITY of asserting that Can
ada has joint jurisdiction with the United
States over the st. Clair flats canal is
clearly pointed out by Mr. Scott, late
Secretary of State of the Dominion Gov
ernment. The concession Of the use of
this canal to Canada by the United States
under the treaty of 1871 is enough to
show that the exclusive jurisdiction of
the United States over this waterway
was then recognized. 1t has never since
been controverted, until very recently,
bya few anti-administration politicians,
eager to pick flaws in the Presidents s re-

Judge Thurman arrived in New York at
o'clock yesterday afternoon and was driven
directly to the Fifth Avenue Hotel, where he
was assigned TO the rooms recently occupied
by Mr.. Blaine. All along the route Of his
Journey he was the recipient Of n series Of
ovations. Mr.. Thurman dned with Chairmen
Brice and Barnum in private parlor. The
callers had all left by 9.15. shortly after that
time Mr.. Thurman retired TO his sleeping-room
His health is reported good bnt he is troubled
considerably with hoarseness. No visitors will
be received to-day. Mr.. Thurman will remain
at the hotel recuperating for the meeting in
the evening. He does not intend to prepare
his address beforehand. The gathering that
will greet Judge Thurman at the Madison
Square Garden tonight will be one of the
greatest outpourings that even that expert
enced campagner ever looked upon. Though,
of course, they cannot all find seats, the gar
den well accommodate not less than 5000 per-
sons, and the outside meetings will attract not
less than an equal number. The speakers from
the main platform will address the meeting in
the following order: Judge Thurman, Gov
ernor Hill, Governor Green, Senator Voor-
hees the Hon. p. A. Collins, Senator Black
burn, Senator Kenna, Governor Black.

Last Saturday evening when the store
keepers were at thsir busiest. . young man
with the appearance of an industrious
factory hand. giving his name as Charles

OF Berkey & Gay. visited several of the
stores. bought goods and paid for them
in checks upon the Fourth and Fifth
National banks, all signed Julius Berkey,
and all Of which have since been discovered
TO be clever forgeries. In several instances
he received money in change, not trading
out the full face Of the check presented.
As far as ascer aimed. the following are the
forms and aelOmin suons OF tie forged
papers passed upOu the several victims:
One on the Fourth National Bank, dated
El4-No. "a Pay 10 G. ID. Harris or bear

1t was . very clever trick and one that
has been perpetrated on several of our
merchants on former occasions. The mat

far no clue to the forger has been obtained
Ii is supposed that be is shrewd stranger
working the town, and the insignlicance
OF the amounts gives some hope that he is
net yet through operations ano may be
discovered. There are six checks upon
which he realized aggregating only $3.50
and be might have got much more without
attracting suspicion.
