CHAPTER IX.-CONTINuED-
Presently, a man who was buried in q
newspaper at some distance rose, stretched
himself. and approached .
He did not look at Childer, but paused
with his back to him, and bega. humming a
popular air. ~'Clipper!' he sad, suddenly,
over his shoulders.
It was the signal for which Lyman had
been waiting, yet he started visibly, while
the gloom on his face ~deepened.

The fellow leered insolently as he said it.
He had turned by this time and taken the
empty seat at the table, helping himself to
tho viands that had been placed there with
out being asked.

"An in good time, boss. Pleasure first,
business afterwards. Which bein' the case,
mabbe you hin tell me how the gentleman

A sudden CLEAN shot through the gloom
of Lyman Chllder's countenance.

best you can do" he answered, coolly. s'The

IN AN APPLE CELLAR.

Red. and russell, and yellow,
Lying here in q heap
Pippins, rounded and mellow;
Greetings, for winter keep;
Seek-no-turtherS. whose blushing
The soul OF a saint Womb try,
Till his face showed the crimson, flushing
The cheek OF a Northern Spy.
Hid from the winter weather,
Safe from the wind sad sieet,
Here. In a pie together,
Russell and Pipp!n meet.
And in this dim and dusty
Old cellar they fondly hold
A breath, like the grape made mUsty
BY the summer radiant gold
Each seems 10 hold q vagrant
Sunbeam, lost from the sky,
Wnen lily blooms were fragrant
Wells for the butterfly;
And when the snow is flying,
What feasts in the boarded store,
OF crimson and yellow, lying.
Heaped high on the sandy floor
Eruitase Of bright spring splendor,
OF leaf and blossom-time,
That no tropic land can mend. or
Take from his frosty cline
Fruit for the hearth-stone meeting,
Whose avo naught a destroy,
How you make my hearts swift beating
Throb with the pulse of q boy.
Apples scarlet and golden,
Apples juicy and tart,
Bringing again the olden
Joy to the weary heart.
You SEND the swift thoughts sweeping.
Through wreckaga Of time and tears,
To that hidden chamber, keeping
The gladness of youths bright years.

uncomfortably.

High License in Baltimore.

A movement Is on foot to obtain high
license system for saloons in Baltimore and
to establish police court for the trial OF
petty otRenses. The proposed reform is in
dorsed by representative men OF the city,
irrespective of political party, and Is gener-
ally commended as an effort in the right
direction. The promoters of the PROPOSE
tons say that if carried out the reforms will
save the city $4,000 yearly in court ex-
penses.
A public meeting of the friends of the
movement, irrespective of party, will be held
shortly, when plan ofaction will be decided
upon.
Mr.. W. w. Spence is an earnest advocate
of the movement, and favors high license,
with restriction of the number Of saloons,
the license fees to be paid the city.
Mr.. Enoch Pratt, the philanthropist, said
that as a citizen and taxpayer he was in
favor of the plan, although he had never
engaged in the temperance movement, and
had not given the subject much thought.
Mr.. Pratt added: High license is the true
temperance movement, and will do more
good than anything else. 1t has proved a
great success in Philadelphia, and there is
no reason why it should not be equally as
successful here. 1t will shut up all the low
places and thus improve the morals OF the
city. We should be guided by other places
that have tried 1t, but believe in making
the license as high as possible"
States Attorney Kerr also favors the
change. He said High license would be
the greatest blessing the city could receive
A police court would also be of great bene-
fit. The police magistrates courts mig be
resolved into police courts, with jurisdic-
ton to try great many trifling cases proint-
ly, with great benefit to the morals of the
community, as well as reducing the burden
of taxation. "--L}dlt0. Sun.

REMARKABLE AssAssINA 7YOM.


The assertion of the friends of DR.. p. Hs
Cronin. of Chicago, who has been missing |
since May 4th, that he had been murdered,
is verified by the finding Of his body on
Wednesday o: last week in sewer at Lake
View, near the city, in a condition which
precludes the belief that he died natural
death. The circumstances that led to the
murder are involved in mystery. When
the Doctor first disappeared his friends at
once declared that he had been foully dealt
with. They reported that he had often said
to his wife: "If lose my life, or anything
happens to me, Alexander Sullivan will be
the one back of it," Sullivan and DIR.
Cronin were members, il appears, of the
Clan-na- Gael, and were the leaders, respec-
lively, OF two factions into which that or
ganization is divided. Cronin made the
charge against the majority faction, 1t Is
said, that they had used the funds OF the
organization to further their influence in
local politics. Two. thirds Of the society's
funds, it was asserted, had been misused in
this way. An investigation having been or
dered, Dr. Cronin produced report which,
it is alleged, found the accused guilty on
every count Thereupon it was decided, so
the story goes, to "remove" the Doctor, and
several attempts were made previous to the
successful one of May A. One version of
the incident had it that he was called up at
night to see patient at Sullivan's house,
but never returned. Another theory of the
crime begins with the statement that DIR.
Cronin was friend of Major lie Caron,
who testified, in the character of an Eng
lish "spy" before the Parnell commission.
Il was the Doctors purpose, it was alleged,
to go to London to betray the clan, as lie
Caron did, and on this account his ere
moval" was decreed The latter story ap-
pears, however, to be incredible, the Doc
tors reputation for courage, honor and
straightforwarduess being beyond question.
Evidence against the asssassins still ac'
cumulates, and three of them, prominent in
Irish Societies, have been indicted. The
cause for the murder is said to be TO sup
press minority report by Cronin of the
misuse of funds

REFORM rs NECESSARY.

Senator Edmunds feels constrained to add
his voice to the volume of protest against
the political corruption of the times and the
debauchment Of the ballot in the last ma
tional campaign. He has done it in an ar.
ticle in the June Forum, on Corrupt Politi.
cal Methods" in which he speaks strongly
on the methods OF the last presidential cleo.
ton. AS leading Republican it could not
be expected that he would spare the Demo.
cratic party in his criticisms, but he has had
the frankness and honesty to confess that
the Republican party was to the full as
guilty as its opponent Taking the politi-
cal position of the Senator int considera-
ton, that is equivalent to an admission that
the Republicans were great deal deeper
in the mud than the Democrats were in the
mire.
Mr.. Edmunds estimates that $5,000000
were spent during the last campaign. The
estimate is, il anything, too low. Assuming
that no more was spent, what possibilities
Of influence of the weak and venal that vast
sum represents. He is positive in his con-
victiens that much of 1t was used for illegal
and immoral purposes. There can never
he question as TO that Even the hypo-
critical pretense that the campaign funds
are used for Legitimate expenses" has been
abandoned by the Republican dispenserseof
boodle, except on the principle with which
the Republican National Committees pur-
chase Of the stolen mailing lists of Prohi-
hilton newspaper was justified, "that re.
wardIng robbery was legitimate campaign
enterprise"
Senator Edmunds presents various reme-
dies for this deplorable state of things,
among them being better registration laws,
the secrecy Of the ballot, restriction of i'm
migration and naturalization and the pub
LEGATION Of campaign expenses.
Several States have taken steps in the III.
