ASHES

Wrapped In a sadly tattered gown,
Alone l puff my briar brown
And watch the ashes settle down
In lambent flashes;
While thro' the blue thick, curling haxo
strive with feeble eyes TO gaze
Upon the half forgotten days
hat left but ashes
Again we wander through the lane
Beneath the elms and out again, =
Across the ripping fields OF grain
Where softly FLASHES
A slender brook mid banks Of fern -
At every sight my pulses burn,
AT every thought l slowly turn
And find but ashes
What made my fingers tremble so
As you wrapped skeins Of worsted snow
Around them. now with movements slow
And now with dashesy =.
Maybe tbs smoke that blinds my eyes,
Maybe a tear within them lss;
But as l pun my pipe there hies
A cloud OF ashes.
Perhaps you did not understand
How lightly flames OF love were famed.
All, every thought and wish I've planned
With something clashesi
And yet within my lonely den
Over a pipe away from men,
Hove to throw aside my pen
And stir the ashes

Among the many startling contrasts
between the industries of 100 years ago
and those of today, one of the most
impressive is the vast expansion OF
the production of that indispensable
article, iron. A century ago, it is
stated, only charcoal iron was
produced, and of that only
10000 tons a year. Even Great
Britain produced, in 177s, only 6s, 800
tons. Today there are SEVERAL furnaces
in this country, each of which turns
out annually as much as that, and a
single railroad now buys yearly more
iron than both Great Britain and this
country produced a century ago

Tue Potato Digger Pays Ten Profits.

the Potato Digger Pays Ten Profits.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, January lat tho
session Of the American Economic associa-
ton Prof. Robert Ellis Thompson of the
University Of Pennsylvania read an exhaust
i've paper on the condition of the Irish peo-
pie. He stated that the food products of
Ireland in year were sufficient to feed just
twice the number of people that live upon
the island.
''Nearly every vessel" the reader said,
''that leaves the coast of Ireland is loaded
with food products, even in famine years.
These products must be exported to pay the
rents to the absentee landlords and to pay
for everything used by the Irish, since there
are no productive manufacturing industries
in the country"
Estimates placed the Irish rental spent by
absentee landlords at one third OF the whole.
The desire of the Irish pea-ant Is to become
landlord himself. Lori Dufferin tells of
one piece Of land which was let and sub-let
eleven times-eleven landlords all piled ON
top of the poor fellow digging potstoes at
the bottom and each add all making profit
out of him.

SEEING LIQUORS.

Seven Hundred Kegs of Beer Taken by
Iowa Officers.
Dies MONIES, IA, Dec. 28.-At Keokuk the
police seized 700 eighth kegs and 10 cases of
beer contained in the store room of Gus
Leisy & Bro, brewers, of Peoria, Ill. Last
July seizure was made at this place, and
the goods replevined. The case was tried
in the superior court and decision favor
able to Leisy was rendered. An appeal was
taken to the supreme court of the state, and
the case is now pending before that tribu-
nal. A case in which the same parties are
interested and involving the same points is
also now under consideration by Judges
Love, Brewer and Shiras of the United
States court. Leisy. does not sell any pro-
hibitory beverages to be drunk on the prem
Uses and onlyin the original and unbroken

sackville's Successor Not Expected Untn
Harrison Comes In.
WASHINGTON, D. c., January L.
The relations of this government with Great
Britain attract great deal of attention.
There are excellsnt reasons for believing
that Phelps will be recalled by the 9Th of
January if a successor to Lord Sackville is
not accredited to this capital. The Anglo
maniacs here-and there are many Of them
are shocked at the tendency of affairs. It
is even limited that the secretary of war has
intimated that he would resign if the rela-
tions with Great Britain are further strained.
But the president and secretary of stats are
looking at the question on the standn1int of
national honor, and they feel that the in
tention of the Tory government of Great
Britain to refrain from accrediting proper
representive to this government is meant to
be insulting. It is tie universal opinion
here that Salisbury and his Tory associates
intend to boycott the democratic admins
tration and that a British envoy will not
make an appearance in this country until
the republicans come into power. There is
good deal of correspondence going on be-
tween our state department and Downing
street, London, and it is beyond doubt or
question that our government has served
notice on Great Britain that if Sackvills's
successor is not appointed our envoy to that
country will be recalled.

A Geography Lesson.

EDMONTON, N. w. T., January Twill
liam Oglevie, who has been engaged by the
government since 1887 in exploring extreme
ton via Lac Labeche and Victoria. The
route pursued by the party was from the
Pacific coast up Chilkat inlet; by steamer
over the Taing pass to Lake Lyndeman on
the Lewis river, the main branch of the
Yukon; down the river in canoes to the in
ternational boundary lines.
1t has always been supposed that the
Lewis was the main stream of the Yukon,
but the Hootilenques, which joins the Lewis
from the east, about two miles from the
coast, is the main stream proper. The par
ty went into camp on tbs Yukon near the
international boundary in the latter part of
September. The greatest cold was in Feb
ruary, when the thermometer registered 81
degrees below zero. Camp was struck on
the march when they descended the Yukon,
thirty-fve miles to the head waters Of the
Porcupine river, another of the main
branches of the Yukon. The pass Is 5000
fest above sea level. The Porcupine Joined
the main river at old Fl. Yukon in Alaska.
The POrcuplne was descended to Its con-
fuence with the Lewis river, coming from
the east. This was assembled to a pass on
the Rockies about eight and one-half miles
long with nothing to prevent a first-class
railroad being built through it. From the
east end of the pass small mountain
stream was followed to its junction with
Peel river, flowing into the Mackenzie. On
this stream coal of a good quality aud.an
abundant out-crop of asbestos were seen.
The distance from the foot of the Rockies
to where they entered the Peel was seven
teen miles in straight line. The total dis
lance travelled from the Yukon at the boun-
Diary to the Peel river was 318 miles, cross
ing two mountain ranges. McConnell's
geological survey party was met at the Peel.
The ascent of the Mackenzie was begun
June II and the survey of the Peace and
Athabasca rivers, made by Ogilvie
in 1886, distance of about. 1,417
miles. The only real obstacle to navigation
was the rapids at Fort Smith. Wheat and
barley are grown every summer at Fort
Providence. A sample Of wheat grown there
was brought ont and makes good flour.
Mining is carried on on the Yukon and
tributaries, and pays during three months
of the year. Forty Mile creek, the seat of
the gold excitement of 1887, unites with the
Yukon about forty-one miles from the
boundary. Twenty three miles of this creek
is in Canada.

BAFFLED ANARCHISTS.

Mrs. Lucy Parsons Not Permitted to
ture-Chief Hubbard Talks.
CHICAGO, December o8.-Handbills were
widely distributed announcing that Mrs.
Lucy Parsons, the wife Of the executed an
archist, would lecture in Waverly hall. One
of the bills was handed to Chief Of Police
Hubbard, Who sent Lieutenant Laughlin to
Mr.. Laurie. proprietor Of the hall, with in
structions to order him not to open the
place. Mr.. Laurie was not satisfied with
the message and called Immediately upon
the chief.
IT will send an officer to you," said the
chief to Mr.. Laurie, "who will demand tho
key Of the hall from you. He will then
station q policeman at tho door, who will
forbid admission to the hall. You are PEI
fectly helpless in the matter and any respon-
sibility there is will be on the police"
The wording Of the subject Of the lecture
was triae ambiguous, in that it might in
olude any or all phases of anarchy and So
cialism. There was no doubt in the minds
of the police that Mrs.. Parsons intended to
say something to cause her arrest.
Said Chief Hubbard: "Mrs. Parsons can
advertise herself all che pleases but we will
not help her to do it. We have private in
formation that she intended to mako q vi0-
lent anarchistic harangue. Then We would
have been compelled to arrest her, and you
can be sure that it would have been magni-
fed in every way by the anarchists in the
argument of their Injunction suit. The at
tempted lecture was simply for effect. 1t Is
we'll known that Mrs. Parsons canlot re-
frain from talking anarchy when she gets q
chance, and we will not experiment with
her further. She simply cannot speak in

Murphy's Successful Work.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND. December 28.-Francis
Murphy and his son, Edward, the temper
ence evangelists, closed their meetings in
Indianapolis. The elder Murphy began
here three weeks ago and was joined by his
ELOQUENT son a week later. They have set
on foot the most successful gospel temper
ance movement ever insugnrated in this
city, addressing forty-6ve large meetings.
The result Of their labors is something over
$500 signers to the total abstinence pledge
and 700 Gospel conversions. The press and
people of indianapolis regard their work
with great satisfaction. They came here at
the invitation of J. G. Schaffer, president of
the indianapolis Street Railway company.
They were greatly assisted by such leading
ministers as the Rev. Dr.. Cleveland, Rev.
DR.. Rondthaler, Rev. DR.. Hendrickson.
Revs. Sheridan and Woodruff and Rev. NJ.
L. Haines, General Harrison's pastor. The
meeting at Tomlinson's hall was one of the
largest. Fully 5000 were present. On the
crowded stage with Mr.. Schaffer was Samuel
w. Allerton, the well-known Chicago mil
he urged the Murphys to come to Chicago,
where he believed a great work awaited
them. He said they were fighting dynamit-
ers and hanging anarchists, but he believed
the remedy for this spreading evil was to
send such men among them as Francis and
Edward Murphy to preach their gospel and
pull misguided socialists out from under the
baleful influence of the liquor dispensing
element. He declared he should return to
Chicago with determination to inaugurste
q movement that would bring the Murphys
and other evangelists into that field. and
that he would take part in the meetings.
The address of the evening was made by
Edward Murphy, who surpasses his cslebrat-
ed father as an orator. He concluded his
address amidst applause. Many crowded
forward and signed the pledge. The exer-
dress by Francis Murphy. Among their
conversions are two saloon keepers and
about three score of the hardest drinkers in
tho city.

The Marblehead Fire.

MARBIEH1AD, MASS, December 2S.-More
reliable estimates of the total losses by fire
are $4,000. Twelve thousand or more
men are thrown GUS of employment and
many families rendered temporarily home
less. Thirty seven structures in all were
destroyed. Thirteen of theses were dwell
miscellaneous. Though the boundaries of
the fire were almost identical with those of
the big fire of June. 1887, the losses on this
last fire are nearly double those of the
former. So quickly did the flames spread
that whole blocks were ruined in less than
fifteen minutes. It is now estimated that
between eight I'D nine acres were burned
over. None of the manufacturers think it
possible to rebuild this winter and there is
general feeling of depression in the town.
