Didn t Look Like a Poet.

"About twenty-five years ago 1 was in
Boston one day, in a book store-a
wretched day, rainy, sloppy and muddy
when I saw the striking figure of a
little man, wearing a slouched hat, his
p~antaloons rolled up dashing along the
street. He looked rs little like a poet as
a man could. l turned to the bookseller
and asked him who hat was. That is
Oliver Wendell Holiness he said. We'll,
l want to know that man; and / got to
know him, and we have been the best of
friends ever since A more genial, gen.
uine, delightful man and a finer CONVEX
sationalist 1 never knew. A copy of
The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table
which he sent me-, contains an interesting
letter, giving me his reasons for begin
ing the papers in the Atlantic Monthly,
which magazine he says he named
LAS l speak a thousand faces pass
before me. None moro gentle and kind
than that of Emerson. He visited me,
with his daughter; a tranquil, lovable
man, and he wrote me letters. 1t is a
pity, by the way, that 1 failed to pre-
serve my correspondence; much of 1t,
doubtless, would be now of considerable
interest. "-George w. Childs.

1t was in indianapolis, or somewhere
around there. He was a trusted clerk
in the bank, with all the usual Sunday
school connections and religious reputa-
ton. 1t was a big bank, where the direc-
tors took special note of character. The
cashier died and they gave him the n
cant post. He IA q man of feeling and
had a great deal of poetry and originality
besides. He was deeply touched by the
death of his friend, whose place he took.
So he took apage of the cash book where
his friends accounts closed, ruled it
around in artistic style with broad bands
of black, and in the center he wrote a
beautiful, touching, poetic obituary,
which brought tears to the eyes of tho
president and the board of directors.
They were deeply impressed. Later
there came a little dispute between the
board and himself touching an extraor.
binary difference in the balance between
what they thought it ought to be and
what he found it was. He left, and they
turned back to read hat beautiful obit-
uary again. Opposite that feeling tribute
they found on the first page of his career
two mistakes" which were much against
the bank and to the cashiers advantage.

Enlistment of Hover Bros. Three dead
bodies have been taken from the ruins
and threa others received injuries which
will probably result fatally. 1t is feared
there may be more victims among the
debris.
Shortly after 5 o'clock, while a clerk
was waiting on a customer upon the Sec
ond floor, he saw a fash among some fire
works behind one of the counterf. He
ran for water, at the same time giving an
alarm. The flames spread with almost
incredible rapidity, cutting off the escape
of several men in the upper stories, and
in five minutes the dense smoke and al
most incessant discharge of fire works of
different kinds made the building a per
feet pandemonium for those confined

A Decision Applicable TO wyoming.
WASHINGTON, June 81. Attorney
General Miller at the request of the gov
ernor of Arizona, submitted through
Secretary Noble. has considered at great
length the question whether in the alb
sence of an enabling act by congress the
act passed by the Arizona legislature and
approved by the governor, ITO provide
for the holding OF a convention for the
purpose of framing a state constitution,
to be submitted to the people for their
approval or rejection" is valid. The at
torney general holds it is valid, aud cites
numerous precedents where territories
passed enabling acts. The power to ac
cept, modify or reject the constitution
adopted by a territory. when it seeks ad-
mission as 4 state, he holds, is vested in
congress.
He continues, quoting from a supreme
court decision in the case of a national
bank versus Yankton, congress may not
only abrogate the avs of a territorial leg
~lslature directly for local government, but
it may make a verdict of a territorial leg
islature valid and a valid act. He holds,
in other words, that congress has COM
plete control over the matter when a ter
rltory seeks admission as a state, and may
then cure any defects that may exist in
the constitution. which is in a sense a
petition, the right of which is guaranteed
in the constitution of the United States.

Quite an idea upon the plan and pur-
pose of fishing anne to light at Vienna
last week, when a fellow went fishing
down on Gum creek. After selecting a
nice, shady place and a comfortable seat,
he threw his hook into the stream and
took from his pocket a newspaper and
was soon lost in Its columns. Directly
his cork began to bobble, hen q strong
pull from the water caused the cork to go
clear under the water. Deliberately lay
ing his paper aside, he picked up his pole
and, as he began to wind up his line, re-
marked that n man couldn't fish in peace
there, and he was going home.-Macon

CHICAGO, June 2l.-The Cronin grand
jury this morning heard the testimony of
Mrs. Philbin, aunt of Martin Burke, the
Winnipeg suspect. She secuted the idea
that her nephew was the murderer. and
described him as a weak, rattlebrained
young man who lacked tie courage to en-
gage in Il plot of this character. She
was unable to ~enlighten the jury of
Burke's movements about the time pre-
vious to the murder as he ceased to live
at her house.
Dillon was once more called to the
stand and questioned infinitely regarding
the inner workings of the Clan ma Gael
and those of its'C Chicago members whom
he had found to be hostile to Cronin.
Edward Spellman of Peoria, a promi-
lent distiller and district officer of the
Clan ma Gael for the territory of Wiscon-
/ sin, testified in regard to the extent of the
organization and the power Of local camps
to punish offending members. He stated
the greatest penalty that could be Infict,
ed upon any member under the rules of
the organization was expulsion from the
ranks; and he insisted if DR.. Cronin had
been condemned to death it was con-
trary to the fundamental principles and
practices of the society.
Spellman protested high regard for Gro
min and assured the jury that his Spell,
man's) desire to ferret out the instigators
of the tragedy was shared by all the
leading Clan ma Gael men in the United
States. The proceedings of to-day closed
the investigation in the Cronin matter fol
the time being, but the case will be kept
open to give the police an opportunity to
pursue their investigations, and as wit
nesses are produced from time, their ties.
