A POETIC SENATOR.
An Ehusion Presented in the Carter
Divorce Case To-day.

CHICAGO. May Tin the Carter divorce trial
this morning proceedings were begun by Mr..
Mills reading the cross-examination Of Senator
fearce, of New York, who said he did not even
know what floor of the Cooper house Mrs.
Carriers room was on. He met Mrs. Carter
about ten days after he went to Cooperstown,
in July, 1888.
MIR. Pearce said his meeting with Mrs. Carter
was casual, but he did not mean to say his
social intimacy with her was no greater than
with other ladies at the hotel. He saw her
nearly every day, and he rode out with her
several times. During the time she was at
Long Beach he also saw great deal of her.
MIR. Mills then read the following original
verse by MIR. Pearce, addressed to Mrs. Carter
at the Fifth Avenue hotel, New York. 1t was
found in an envelope dated September ~, 1888,
at 1870 p. m. There was a crest and coat of
arms with Dix it ct Fecit' on the seal. The
effusion was as follows:
But darest thou. Thy little hand in mine
Lies quiet ard thy clear eyes rest on me.
DER crdgs and CUFFS path hereafter iClds psrfousfy
And tho bind thickets where no iight can shine;
Wild ways and strange for these young feet OF thno.
thou raisest glrllsh lips all silently,
And my tears rise until cannot see,
Oh. love- my love-"
"Not through fair gardens not in level meads
Not mdn-fre9aenfed streets, our pathway lies,
Upward and Onw ard lonely it leads,
BY never trodden heights to holier skies,
An answer-will 1T Gomez"
Friday night, September 20, 1888"
Mr.. Pearce admitted writing the poetry, but
said that he could not remember whether it
was original or quoted.

CROss-ExAMINATION RESUMED.
Sir Richard Webster Again Takes MIR.
Parnell in Hand.

LONDON, May THE Parnell commission re-
sumed its sitting to-day. Mr.. Parnell, upon
taking the stand, said he desired to correct that
part of his evidence given on Friday in relation
to the statement made by him in the house of
commons concerning the non-existence OF Sc
cret societies in Ireland. Upon referring to
the Hansard reports Of the proceedings Of the
house of commons he found that his remarks
which had been quoted by Attorncy-Gener
Webster referred particularly to ribbonism and
not to secret conspiracies generally. His re-
marks, therefore, were fairly accurate state
ment OF the facts, as ribbonism at that time
particularly did not exist in Ireland.
The crosse Examination of the witness was
then resumed. Mr.. Parneu said he had not
heard of 100 guineas being paid for the de-
tense of moonlighters at the Cork Gssizes in
1881. If he had been asked to make such pay
ments he should in those days have approved
OF them if he had reason to believe the law
was being strained against man, but his gen.
eral rule was to limit such payments as much
as possible. He remembered one case in which
he had sanctioned the payment of money for
the defense of prisoner and the man was ac-
quilted.
In another case he reimbursed Mr.. Harris,
who had made himself responsible for the costs
Of the defense, but at the same time witness
instructed MIR. Harris not to undertake in the
future the defense OF accused moonlighters.

THERACE PROBLEM IN THE SOUTH
A Colored Preacher Says More Of the
Negroes Must Become Landowners.


A dispatch to the New York Sun from
Charleston, s. c., May 6, says: The Rev. J.
NJ Pollard, the colored rector Of st. Marks
colored Episcopal church, and who is better
known as 1.-THE bone Of contention" from the
fact that it was on the question of his admis-
sion into the diocesan convention that the
great Episcopalian secession took place in 1887,
has issued an address on the subject of the race
problem which will attract considerable atten-
ton. Mr.. Pollard says:
"Our race is now in possession Of upward Of
$100, 600 900, but the masses have made little
progress. Divide the money in your possession
shall have about S12 to every individual. Many
Of you are living in rented houses. This you
ought to remedy as soon as possible by pur-
chasing place Of your own. 1t Is absolutely
essential that larger number should become
small farmers in order to reach q position of
independence. The money required to pur-
chase house and lot in the city is sufficient to
pay for five or ten acres of land, to build
small house for the use of the family, and also
to stock the farm"
''You wish to see them elevated. Now, take
hold Of the work in the right way and much
good may come out of 1t. Philanthropic rich
men, in addition to the establishments of
schools and the building Of churches could use
their money, with a profit to themselves, by
purchasing large tracts of land and selling
them of in small farms of 1--WE or ten acres each
to heads of families or responsible young men,
with from i've TO ten years TO pay for the
same. This 10 already done to some extent BY
the whites of the south, but for the most part
they own nothing but the land, and need the
price thereof to meet their immediate demands,
and hence cannot wait long enough TO give
poor men chance to settle themselves on Q
solid foundation"
The diocesan convention meets at Aiken on
Wednesday. Mr.. Pollard, ''the bone of con-
tention." has been declared clerical delegate,
but II u understood that be will not present
himself ct the convention, and hopes are en-
tertained that the secedsrs win return to the
fold Of the church.
