FAREWELL OLD YEAR.

Farewell old year, we loved you well,
Loved you and held you treasure trove
For mingled in your tears full we'll
We knew there fount of purest
love.
And days were glad with June and flow.
ers,
And rich October's FURNISHED blue.
Inlaced the gilt of Heavens bars,
But could not hide Its joys from view.
And heart met heart in sweet accords
And friends gave kindly, precious
words.
Which linger In the minds safe wards.
As low and tender song of birds.
Farewell old year the loved and lost.
Who slipped from out your leash
and passed
To that beyond-the river crost,
Will greet and meet US home at last.
And we shall know just why it was,
Just Why we counted our dear band,
Until there came that fatal pause,
Which left us dumb to understand.
Farewell with all your vanished dreams
Your griefs and hate, your doubts and
Glad, glowing, far aloft there CLEANS,
A star to mark your time-draped bier.

A committee attends to everything
of the kind and the ball is merely q
part of the programme which custom
has rendered necessary. Being mem.

that either the President or Mrs.
Harrison will trip the light fantastic,
but that they will be present, just as
they will be at other ceremonies
connected with the inaugural, is quite
possible.

Kansas City papers have just been
filled with resumes of the business and
other interests of that city. 1t always
looks as if a city was losing something
of its prestige when it begins to boom
itself in columns of windy statements
concerning its own resources, etc.
But then Kansas City is windy City
and the rest of the country can stand
a good deal of blow from that direc-
ton.

The members of the St. Louis fire
department deserve unlimited credit
for the manner in which they handled
the Richardson drug house fire. The
house, filled with the most infamable
material, burned with a fierceness and
rapidity which taxed every nerve of
the 6remen, and yet, in the face of
dangers, innumerable and discourage
ments without number, they did not
once lose their grip, but kept the fire
confined to the building in which it
originated. Had this not been done
New Years day in St. Louis would
have proved disastrous one indeed,
and another Chicago horror would
have inevitably resulted. Whatever
may be said of other departments in
st. Louis, it is certain that the one
represented by the fremen is second
to none in the United States.

The dire deed of a burglar in Han
nibaI, will cause a thrill of indigna-
ton all over the country, and strong
determination will be born in the
heart of the average citizen to avenge
that deed by shooting every house
breaker on sight. These fendish
creatures deserve no consideration
and they should have none. A re-
volver should accompany every
householder who hears strange noise
npou his premises, and he should use
it without stopping to parley. A
burglar knows when he ventures into
a strange house that he takes bis life
into his hands and he is prepared to
sell it dearly. The only resource in
such cases is for the household to
endeavor to shoot before the burglar
has chance to use his own weapon,
a thing which is not always easy to
do, but which should be done, as has
already been said, whenever possible.
No class of criminals deserve less con.
consideration than the burglar who,
as the Smell case In Chicago and the
Stillwell case in Hannibal prove, are
prepared for murder and have no hes.
fancy in committing it.

The question will naturally arise

ing public +? She has been IN the
stage for number of years, it j:
true, but she has never taken high rank
as an actress, and it is not probable
that she can furnish any ideas
connected with the modern drama
which could not be supplied far better
by many of her contemporaries.
Mrs. Langtry, if current opinion be
correct, is one of the many women
who have trusted for their popularity
to their personal attractions, not to
their dramatic art, and this
portion of her memoirs can
but be a record of the popu-
lar homage vouchsafed to the
woman, not to the artist.
If she would give full and truth
full account of the development of a
professional beauty from the I'm.
couth, unframed and somewhat dowdy
daughter of Jersey clergyman. her
memoirs would be more than inter-
esting, they would be thrilling f; but
we may be sure that the most i'm
portant steps in the process of evolu-
ton will be glazed over or omitted al |
and that the life of the Jer-
sey Lily from the time of her girlhood
until her adoption of the stage as a
profession will be as rigidly correct
and as coldly self-contained as that of
he veriest Puritan. Being her own
oiograpner, she possesses the indie
feasible right to tell as much or as
title of her own affairs as she may
hink proper but it is reasonably
certain that if she carries out her pur-

shaded by large glass screen. through which
the fire shines, is an open Fireplace with hand
some brass andirons and very ornate brass
fender. 1t is an honored custom that the ink
stand and the andirons and fender are taken by
each retiring Vice-President. and a new set is
bought for his successor. Mr.. Arthur was one
Of the few, If not the only Vice-President not
to avail himself of this custom. Mr.. Ingalls,, as
the retiring presiding officer of the Senate, is
entitled to these present ornaments.
A WORKING CORNER.
In one corner of the room is a desk, made
for work only, at which the Vice-President's
private secretary sits. Over the red marble
mantelpiece is handsome plate-glass mirror
Of immense size, with massive gilded frame.
On bracket near the door is a large bronze
French clock, with a small figure of Franklin
seated by the dial. 1t was a purchase OF the
Polk-Dallas period, costing 5000. In little
wash-room is the old-fashioned mirror that was
purchased at an 'eXtravagant price" for $40,
for John Adams. There was much talk at the
time about the extravaganza OF this purchase
and the sergeant-at-arms was threatened with
censure for it. A relic of Mr.. Arthur is q little
cherry cabinet for toilet articles.
On one wall of the room is fine oil portrait
of Washington-the Peel portrait-either side
of which is a marble bust of life SIZE One is
OF Lafayette Foster, the other or Henry VIII
son, who died in this room. Mr. Wilson was
taken i'll suddenly in the Senate, and was car
ried into this room, where he died after
lying there for three days in too critical
condition to be moved. This cir
cumstance has attached superstition
to the room. Mr.. Ingalls, is credited with
especial dread of something uncanny about the
place. 1t is said that until very recently he has
avoided the room as much as possible, and that
he has never remained there more than ten
minutes at a time. He has said repeatedly to
ADMINISTRATORS that on account Of Wilson's
death there the room to him was a shudder.
This room, unlike that provided or the Presi-
dent, is intended for actual occupancy. 1t Is
the Vice-President's study and Office. When not
in the chair it is designed to be his place of re-
sort. There he may write or dictate his letters,
read sign bills. receive his visitors, confer with
Senator'S or make his toilet. 1t is one Of the
handsOmest rooms at the capitol and is always
cheerful, Notwithstanding that death has entered

The Capital City Guards, Of Montgomery,
colored military organization, looked ex-
ceeding well in line to-day. On July 2, 1885,
authority to organize this company was granted
70 Capt Jos. H. Lyon by Gov. E. A. O'Neal,
and Capt. Ligon soon had q strong body of men
together and enlisted for three years. 1t is Of
dcered a. follows: Joseph H. Lyon, captain; A.
Thomson, first lieutenant; L W. Moncrief,
srcond lieutenant. The commissioned officers
have been tried on more than one occasion,
and have always responded promptly to the
call Of duty.
The Marmaduke Guards.
The Marmaduke Guards, the oldest military
company in Missouri, and one Of the best
known military organizations in the southwest,
have headquarters at Kansas City, Mo. This
company was organized in 1888, ticking the name
OF Gen. Johns Marmaduke, who was afterward
elected governor Of Missouri in 1884, popular
ofhcer OF the confederacy in the late civil war.
The "Marmadukes" have participated in many
competitive drills, winning first prizes at Rood
house, I'LL, in 1884; Leavenworth, Kan, in 1885;
Kansas City, No.. in 1886, and Ottawa, Kan, in
the fall OF the same year. In December last the
command was ordered to Bevier. Mo-, to sup
press some labor disturbances between the
striking coal miners there and the mine owners
and remained there for one month The Of
hcers are: Captain, John 8. Perkins, late of
nrst regiment Chicago; first lieutenant, w. NJ.

waist belt OF the same pattern, gold epaulets,
black bear skin shako with gold tassel in front;
nat gold chin traps, trousering of plain gray
cloth. with heavy gold cord running down out

the best-known military companies in the south
or west, and numbers among its members many
OF the best young men of Kansas City.
The Franklin Guards.

sylvania soldiery consisted Of the Franklin
Guards, whose headquarters are in that city.

Both the President and ice-President are
provided with rooms at the capitol, one at each
end OF the Senate lobby. The Presidents room
is just at the entrance Of the lobby northwest
door, and has windows looking out on the ter
race to the north. 1t has handsomely frescoed
walls and heavy gilded mirrors, and is furnished
in red the chairs and sofas being upholstered
in red Russia leather with heavy fringe. The
curtains and hangings are of heavy red. 1t is
called the Presidents room, because it is re-
served for his use at such times as it is neces-
sary, at the close Of Congress, for him to come
to the Capitol to sign bills, and for the Presi-
dent and President-elect to rest in for the few
moments before the inaugural ceremony on
the 4th Of March. 1t is not provided with a
desk or any article Of furniture that suggests
work, and the President occupies the room,
probably, not more than two hours in all during
his four years term. But the carpet is worn
nearly thread-bare, and the room shows OF he,
