The lifetime OF plant, with dover
OF seed and sprout and leaf and flower;
And yet before its SHOWS are white
We claim the next, and plan to run
Another journey round the sun.
Our course Of being hath NO goal,
Alone in passing youth or age

Is counted by the insatiate soul
That haunts the Futures open door
And cries for one tomorrow more.

Do New Years rise and set in vain
Because uneasy spirits fret?
Not so; the world hath wisdom yet,
And punctual sense Of present gain,
And faith, whose patience waits so long
Its yearning doeth time no wrong.
And Heaven, that chides the rash and blind,
Relents when love of life entreats,
And still with granted seasons meets
The common prayer of all mankind,
And gives eternity-whose store

"Oh, don't!" cried Little

noble, and good, and warm
hearted, and unselfish, and
sympathetic as he can be;

"Well, If he doesn't like

1 replied, still with some
warmth, she doesn't de-
serve to enjoy such an ex-
perience. Now, if he was

But just at this point I
suddenly became aware
that my cigar was going
out, and it became neces-
sary for me to stop and puff
vigorously forquite a while.
Once or twice I thought I
caught Big Slippers look
ing at me with a signifi-
can't and somewhat annoy
ing expression, but 1 said
nothing, for l had no breath
to spare. When my cigar
was burning again 1 threw
myself back in my chair
and pulled thoughtfully for
some minutes without look
ing at Big Slippers and Lit
tie Slippers. At length I
resumed the talk, asking
with some vexation: big
Slippers, why isit that you
look SO much more shabby
than Little Slippers-out
at the toes, and rusty along
the sides, and ragged at
the edges and all that?
You have been married NO
longer than she has"
Big Slippers sulked at
this, and would not answer;
but Little Slippers ex-
claimed quite hotly for
her: Il do think you are
too bad! Big Slippers
doesn't look that way. He
is as spruce as any gentle
man, and twice as hand
some as most of them. As
for being worn more than I
am, he might be (for he
does such a lot of workD,

see that, in spite of the ragged old fell

Little Slippers snuggled all the closer
to Big Slippers on the rug.

lighting the cigar that stood in the vase,
and putting few rings of smoke toward
the ceiling, ''you two people seem to be
pretty well satisfied with each other,

MINERS TRAIN WRECKED.


BIRMINGHAM, Ala, June 1s.-A railroad
wreck. causing the death of two men and
the injury OF about one hundred Others Oc-
Cured at the Pratt mines this morning, on
the road of the Tennessee Coal and Iron
Railroad Company. that leads from town
out to Slope No. 2. Every morning train
is run from the company's Office in the
town ont to the mines to accommodate the
miners and others who work at the mines.
The train takes out the men along the line
at nearly every house and crossing Be-
fore it reaches the mines it usually has
about two or three hundred men
on board. This morning the train con-
sisted of three passenger cars, several ore
cars and one or two cabooses. The engine
was attached to the rear of the train and
was pushing the cars forward. While run
ming at the rate of ten miles an hour, the
train struck COW lying on the track, and
six cars were hurled down an embank-
ment. Walter Beasley and Henry Nc
Cauley, carpenters, were killed. and nearly
hundred were injured, some having limbs
broken. One of the injured will die.

Baseball Notes.

indianapolis ought to get three games
from Washington.
Paul Hines will probably be able to p lay
first base this afternoon.
Rusie will probably be put in against
the WashingtOns during the series.
The Baltimore Baseball Club has re-
leased short-stop Jack Farrell. and arranged
to loan pitcher Whitaker to the Galveston
(Tex.) club.
Jerry Denny has rented house in the
northern part of the city, and will remain
in Indianapolis not only this summer but
next winter.
1t is understood that the practice of
changing pitchers during the game will be
abandoned, except in cases where the man
vino goes in at the start is being hit un-
usually hard.
The home team has made seventy-nine
hits in the last six games, being an average
of thirteen hits to game. Such stick
work ought to bring the Hoosiers to the
front if it is continued.
According to the New York Sporting
Times, there is great dissatisfaction in
New Haven with Harry Spences manage
ment of the team of that CITY, There is a
general demand for his resignation. The
team has been doing poorly.

we hope it will be salutary; that at least
the attitude of the commission will be bet
ter understood than it has been hereto
fore, and that there will be a feeling on
the part of all classes that the examina-
tiOns are open to every person who desires
to enter the public service, without
regard to his political or religious
opinions or affiliations. and that
every person entering the examinations
will have a fair show. / am thoroughly
convinced that Mr.. Wallace means TO en-
force the laws and rules fairly and honest
Iy, and that he intends to make the best
service possible with the means at his COM
mand. / am fully satisfied of this, and 1
am glad of an opportunity to say so, and to
say it emphatically."
The commissioners left last night for
Chicago from which place they will go to
Milwaukee and Grand Rapids. From the
last city they will probably go to Detroit,
Toledo and Cleveland. and after visits to
the postoffices in those cities, return to
Washington.

WAR.SHIP DRIVEN ASHORE.
The Constellation, with 300 Persons Aboard,
in PerilOus Position Near Cape Henry.

NORFOLK, Va, June 18-Lieutenant
Archer. of the United States Constellation,
arrived in Norfolk at O'Clock this after
noon, and brought the intelligence that the
Constellation has gone ashore one mile be-
low Cape Henry, just inside the capes, at 3
o'clock this afternoon, in a thick fog. A
brisk northeast gale was blowing on the
capes at the rate of about thirty miles
an hour when the accident occurred, and
the ship lies broadside to the beach, about
three hundred yards from the shore. At
10 o'clock tonight Lieutenant Archer left
on the Baker Wrecking- salvage Company's
steamer Peed for the Constellation. Lieu
tenant Tyler, acting under instructions
from Commodore Brown, at the Norfolk
navy-yard, has chartered the iron tug Nor
folk to 60 to the assistance of the war
ship. The Constellation lies so close in
shore, however. and is In such a position
that she cannot be hauled off by
boats, but cables and hawsers must be
used
Tbs vicinity where she is ashore is de-
cidedly dangerous one. and one where
many wrecks have taken place. 1t is al
ways given a wide berth by mariners, and
it is thought that the Constellation COM
mander allowed his ship to be carried too
near in shore by the perilOus current before
recognizing the danger of his POSI-
tion, that his compasses were
out of order. The Constellation had
on 130 cadets from the Naval Academy
Eyho started from Annapolis last week on
their summer cruise, and crew of 175 men.
The cadets are much disheartened, and as a
heavy sea is now running, much incon-
venienced. Their position is not consid-
cred a dangerous one, as there are a num-
Der of people on shore with the apparatus
of the life-saving station ready to render
them assistance at a moments notice.
LATER.-Intelligenc from the Constella-
ton at 1880 o'clock tonight is to the effect
that she is three hundred yards from the
shore and drifting in. The captain of the
hfe-saving station near Cape Henry has
made up a crew, notwithstanding the fact
that the stations are closed and has gotten
a line to the ship, and has hauled out the
breeches buoy, though no one has been got
ten ashore as yet. The ship went
ashore about 3 o'clock in the after
noon. and Lieutenant Archer was
aud reached this city later in the day by
private conveyance. He at once went to
the navy-yard, but Commander Brown was
on his way to Washington. The service of
the Baker Salvage Company was engaged,
and they sent the steamer Peed to the spot,
and she was expected to reach there at IL
O'clock.
X. b. Cooke, general agent of the New
York, Philadelphia & Norfolk road. or
dered the tugs of that road to the assistance
of the Constellation, and they will arrive
there about daylight. The Secretary
of the Navy asked that this be
done. but the order had been given
Secretary was received. The wind, which
was heavy at the time the ship went
ashore, has since quieted down some, and
it may be that the Constellation may not
go to pieces. though there is not much
chance hat she will be saved

REBUILDING AT JOHNSTOWN.
Business Men Allowed to Erect Temporary
Structures in the Parks-Trouble with Dogs.

JOHNsTowN, June 1S.-The first effort
looking to the establishment of civil gov
ernment here was made this afternoon,
when General Hastings met the few re-
naming cOuncilmen and reOrganized that
body. President Kennedy presided at the
meeting, and after reOrganizing it was de-
cided to allow business men to build tenn
porary structures on the two public parks
of the place. The buildings are to
remain on the parks for eighteen
months, when it is thought the
city win be cleared of wreckage
and ready for rebuilding the business
houses. There seems to be an urgent de-
mand for a bank, where the charity fund
can be deposited and distributed to those
really in need. After the meeting General
Hastings offered to withdraw the troops at
once. but the Council asked that they be
allowed to remain for week longer, when
it is thought the citizens can assume charge
and manage the place.
Occasionally corpse is found buried in
debris and rubbish throughout the town.
but the most prolific, spot is the mass of
wreckage above the railroad bridge
Eleven bodies were blown up there by the
blasting to-day. The army of men on the
wreckage at that point are rapidly cleaning
the place. but the contractor said to-day
that he would yet have several weeks
work before this contract is completed.
The guards at Camp Hastings, near the
Prospect Hill burial grounds report to-day
that they are having great trouble with
dogs that are constantly disturbing the
dead inferred at that burial-place. Over
100 dogs were driven from the place last
night. and several of them killed. The
hastily-dug graves there are shallow. and
the dogs have been uncovering and devour-
ing the dead.

before using two boxes of Cuticura, four cakes of
Cuticura Soap. and one bottle OF Cuticura Re-
solvent. was entirely cured.
In addition to my own case, my baby boy, then
about five months old, was suffering with what
supposed to be the same disease as mine to such
solid scab, from which there was a constant
flow of puss which was sickening to look upon,
besides two large tumOr-like kernels on the back
of his head. Thanks to you and your wonderful
Cuticura Remedies his scalp is perfectly we'll,
and the kernels have been scattered that
that is healing nicely. Instead of coating of
scabs he has fine coat Of hair, much better than
that which was destroyed by the disease.
