REMEMBERED,

Beside me at the luncheon table sat
A little lad of nine. The gay talk new
From lip to lip. of gossip and light chat
Till from his forehead back he gently drew
with roguish glance, wandering soft curl,
And laughing, said, ''oh. remember your
Iknewyou when you were little girlP'
We laughed. but he insisted, long ago
Somewhere, he knew together we had played
He had forgotten what the plays were, though;
whether through sbme fair garden we nad
strayed,
Or romped at gamesin delirious whirl
or frolic: but ope memory had stayed,
He knew me when was little girl.
And the bright eyes that smiled up into mine
Assured nIe we had been in those old days
Great crorhesl All. dear little lad OF niue,
doubtaf ever any sweeter praise
From wiser lips out in the gay worlds whiri
WIN come to me than that your young heart
pays
Remembering when was little grill

This ideal industrial condition is then stated
to consist of conducting the works "on the
basis of large family, where the father
which means Herr Krupp-takes in all the
proceeds of the establishment, and gives
every one of the children-every workman
Just enough to live on" This may consti-
tute millenial condition for the working
men, but if so, it is necessary to state that
several large employers of labor in this coun-
try, such as the anthracite coal companies,
the Sugar Trust and some large mining con-
Germs in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, attained
that paternal ideal good while ago.

PRESIDENT CARNoT has recently made
new record by pardoning an Englishman
who had been caught by the Partisan police
in the act of stealing the Presidential um-
brella. The explanation of the umbrella
appropriation was that he wished the article
for his collection of souvenirs of great men;
and NJ Carnot took so kindly to The idea
that he gave the umbrella to his admirer.
The example seems capable of producing
marked increase in the habit of taking um-
brellas, with general development Of un-
controllable admiration for the possessors of
umbrellas during rainy weather.

Jay Gould Pronounces the Scheme Of Con-
soIidation ImpracficabIe.
ST. LOUIS, October 2h-Jay Gould consented
to unbosom himself to local reporters to-day to
the extent of declaring that he did not think
the railroad trust idea was practicable There
was the Missouri Pacific, for instance, he said,
with 5000 miles of tracks. That property was
sufficient to keep one man busy, and it was idle
to talk of placing all the roads under the super
vision of any one man or any few men. BE
had spent three weeks in travelling over 300
miles.
He thought the Ashley resolution introduced
in the Interstate Commerce Association ought
to pass, as the agreement now was rope of
sand. He found the Wabash in fine condition,
and said that the present management would
have a surplus after all interest charges had
been met. He is in favor of st. Louis as the
Worlds Fair site, and the Missouri Pacific
would pay the sl00 00O0i it has been assessed. He
would let St. Louis occupy 900 acres in his
suburban road if they needed it.

If there is yellow fever here within che next

serious trouble. William Bruins, the wealthy
German who died on board the steamer Hondo
few hours before her arrival at quarantine

autopsy performed early this morning estab-
lished that fact. DR.. Smith, the health officer
Of the port, Immediately informed the Quaran-
tine Commissioners Of the result of the autop-
sy, and the body Of Bruns was at once ordered
to be burned to-day. The Hondo and her cargo
were disinfected and allowed to proceed TO
Pier 8, North river. Her eight passengers were
permitted to land and go to their various des-
tinations, and the greater part Of the cargo Of
bananas and coffee has been unloaded and dis
tributed. The rather peculiar action of DR..
Smith, the health officer, in thus neglecting
most Of the usual precautions against infection
by yellow fever, is due to the fact that he does
not regard the disease as contagious.
