THEY MUST SHOW REASON.

A soberer second thought prevails

physicians demanded that putrefying

bodies are reached and that when
found. each viii be unrecognizable
Meanwhile the dreaded pestilence will
be bred and many Of the now living be

AN DER TRUE TALE.
Have you ever heard the tale
III you haven't you oughter-
OF the coal Dealers son
And the ice-lnnlerih daughter 2

Have You ever heard the tale
II you haven't you Oughter-
OF the coal Dealers son
And the ice-dealer's daughters
They loved, and TO wed
p Would have been most contentcd,
Had not their two sires
The alliance prevented.
When cold weather came on,
And all coal went up higher,
Then the coal dealers pride
Would TO great things aspire.
And he'd swear by his scales.
And the patrons he'd try 10
Please, that no son OF his
Such poor people should tie TO
While, when midsummer came,
And the ice man was rolling
In wealth, he waxed deaf
To his daughters cajollng.
And he'd swear In style
Was exceedingly cruel,
She should marry no son
OF pauper in fuel
Many years have passed by,
And the son and the daughter,
Single yet, have grown gray,
OF true love see the slaughter
While the father Of each,
With each incoming season,
From the same stubborn cause,
Has the same stubborn reason.

they can do 1t by walking over the dead

WASHINGTON, Sept. .13.-The commits
sioners of the District of Columbia yes
erday received communication from
Mayor Grant, of New York city, which,
to say the least, was surprise 10 them.
1t was nothing more nor less than let
ter from Mayor Grant addressed. SIngu-
larly enough, to Ibis Honor, the Mayor
of Washington. requesting his aid and
co-operation. and that of the city
authorities. commercial bodies. to en-
sure the holding Of the international
exposition in 1892 in New York city.
There being no such functiOnary as
mayor in existence here the letter
naturally fell into the hands OF the dis
trict commissioners, who to-day re-
turned the following response:
Hon. Hugh j. Grant, Mayor, Dear Sir: The
commissioners of the District OF Columbia
have the honor to acknowledge the receipt
of YOUR letter Of the 11th inst, requesting
the aid and cooperation of the city Of Wash

industries and citizens in ensuring the hold
ing of the international exposition Of 1892
in New York city for the eommemOTatiOn OF
the 4OOth anniversary of the discovery Of
America by Christopher Columbus In reply
we beg leave to say that we believe 1t to be
the almost universal desire OF the people Of
the United States that the proposed expo
sition, being of an international character,
should be held at the capitol city OF the ma.
ton. which has many manifest desires for
such a purpose. AS our citizens and local
authorities have been for several years earn
estly engaged in endeavOring 10 secure the
10 cation of this exposition IN Washington.
and as these efforts have our earnest SYM
pathies and support, we are not at liberty TO
comply with,your request. Should the expo
sition be held in the city of New York, it
will give the authorities and citizens OF
Washing pleasure to do all in their power TO
aid in making it worthy of the United States
and the industrial progress of the world Re-

several local hOrseshoers Of repute par
ticipated. and did some hard work for
the prizes offered. The contest was
witnessed by most Of the people on the
grounds with a good deal OF interest.
