PLANT A TREE.

He who plants tree
Plants hope.
Pootlets up through fibers blindly grope;
Leaves unfold into horizons free.
So mans life INST climb
From the clodS OF time
Unto heavens sublime.
Canst thou prophesy, thou little tree,
What the glory of thy boughs shall BET
He who plants tree
Plants a Joy;
Plants q comfort that will never cloy,
Every day a fresh reality,
Beautiful and strong
To whose shelter throng
Creatures blithe with song.
If thou couldst but know. thou happy tree,
OF the bliss that shall inhabit thee.
He who plants tree
He plants peace.
Under its green curtain jargons cease, ~.
Lear and zephyr murmur soothingly;
Shadows soft with sleep
Down tired eYelids creep
Balm Of slumber deep.
Never hast thou dreamed, thou blessed tree
OF the benedction thou shalt be.
He who plants tree
He plants youth;
Vigor won for centuries in sooth;
Life Of time, that hints eternity
Boughs their strength uprear,
New shoots every year
On old growths appear.
Thou shalt teach the ages, sturdy tree,
Youth Of soul is immortality.
He who plants tree
He plants love;
Tents OF GOODNESS spreading out above
Wayfarers, he may not live tolsee.
Gifts that grow are best;
Hands that bless are blest
Plant; Life does the rest!
Heaven and earth help him who plants tree
And his work its own reward shall be.

MARIE VETSERA,
A Struggled Book Telling of Her Rela-
lions to the Austrian Crown Prince.

LONDON, Nov. 6.-The petty tribulations of
royalty, which are viewed with much COM
placency by even the most loyal of their sub
jects, are examplifed in the annoyances ex-
perienced by the Austrian royal family in en-
deavoring to suppress the volume of alleged
correspondence and biography by the publica-
ton of which the family of the unfortunate
Marie Vetsera hope to obtain revenge or money
or both. Thousands of copies of work pur-
porting to be a true and particular account of
the relations between the crown prince and his
lnamorata and the facts regarding their death
have been smuggled into every European capt.
tai in spite of the efforts of the police, and the
Nlennese have shown an especial desire to OBJ
tain and peruse the work.
The authorities of Germany. Russia and
Austria frustrated several attempts 20 print
the brochure in those countries and purchased
and destroyed various ''only genuine and au-
thentlc" manuscripts. and the prince of Wales
succeeded in having it suppressed in England;
but the lovers of the sensational insisted upon
being supplied in some manner with their ia
vorite mental pabulum and the present prob
ably spurious volume is the result of the mer-
camille demand 1t is in the French tongue and
Its typographical appearance shows that it was
printed either in France or Belgium. The
mother OF the dead girl was induced to part
with everything compromising in her posses
sion, but scandal mongers stoutly insist that
the ostracised Count Hoyos retained more
than enough material to supply tho place of
that surrendered

A NEW RAILROAD DEAL.
The Pennsylvania Central and st. Paul
RO ads Make an Alliance.

CHICAGO, Nov. CA Times special from
Sioux City says: A new deal in railroad circles
that promises to be of much importance to
transcontinental traffic was made public yes
terday by Donald Mclean, general manager of
the Pacific Short line, now under construction
from this city to Ogden, Utah. 1t is an alliance
between the Pennsylvania Central, Chicago
Milwaukee and st. Paul, Pacific Short line and
Central Pacific for line from New York to
San Francisco. The Pennsylvania line from New
York to Chicago is 81 miles shorter than any
other route from Chicago to Sioux City the st.
Paul line is only 81 miles longer than the
Illinois Central, while from Sioux City to
Ogden the short line will be 1G9 miles shorter
than the Union Pacific. In addition to this the
survey of the line shows a maximum grade of
62 feet to the mile over the mountains, while
that of the Union Pacific is 126 feet. Work has
been actively resumed on the line and next
season it will be pushed to completion as
rapidly as possible, the alliance giving the
shortest line between oceans by 1856 miles, with
great advantage in speed and capacity to pull
heavy loads.

From Wall Street Today.

New YORK. Nov. 6-The stock market was
strong and active at the opening this morning,
first prices being 1sa19 higher than Mondays
closing figures and the business done was fairly
well distributed among the leading stocks,
hough St. Paul. Union Pacific. Louisville and
Nashville and Missouri Pacific were most
prominent in the regular list and cotton oil
among the trusts. The last named stock was
ali exception to the rule, opening down per
cent at 311l and recovered only a portion
of the loss, rising TO 80. The general
list presented a strong front in the
early dealings and fractional furthur
advances were scored all around the
room Rock Island be most conspicuous by a
gain of 4 after opening up like amount.
Lackawanna and Louisville and Nashville took
the lead among the others, rising Is and q per
cent, respectively. The most important move
ment was in sugar. which advanced to rs, q
gain of ~ per cent. There was less anima-
ton toward the close of the hour and the best
prices were not fully maintained, though the
concessions we're generally confined to slight
fractions only. At IL o'clock the market was
comparatively quiet and fairly steady, gener-
ally at small fractions better than the opening

out some original ideas in the administration
of the Post Office department. few weeks
ago the division superintendent in the nspec-
ton service were called to this city and had a
conference of some days together discussing
the best method of improving the service. The
same idea, only on much more comprehen-

masters and their representatives from a number
of the principal cities of the country met at

city upon the invitation of Mr.. Wanamaker to
confer with him upon the needs of the postal
service and upon the best methods of bringing
about improvements.
THE OBJECT OF THE CONFERENCE
is merely an interchange of ideas and it is Mr..
Wanamaker's desire that in this coming to-
gether harmony of feeling and of action will
be promoted. The conference was held in a
private room on the upper floor of the depart
ment building. The session was prolonged
during the day with the expectation that an
adjournment would be reached this evening.
Mr.. Wanamaker spent the entire day in the
conference. and the only other official of the
department present was Mr.. Albert ii. Scott
the chief OF the salary and allowance division
who has charge of the accounts Of postmasters
throughout the country.

The postmasters and their assistants who were
present were as follows: C. Van Colt, New

LATEST FROM VIRGINIA.
FROM MAHoNE's HOME.

Special Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR.
PETERSBURG, Va, Nov. 6.-The democrats
have elected their state ticket by majority of
about 20, 900 and two-thirds of the legislature.
Gen. Malone comedies the state to the demo-
Gratis, but claims that the election was carried
by the most outrageous frauds. He says that
at least $4,000 democrats voted for him, but
their votes were not counted. He was
up until daylight this morning receiving re-
turns from the different precincts in the state,
some OF which gave very large republican ma
jorities. There was large number of the gen.
erals friends at his house last night talking the
situation over with him. The democrats are
very jubilant over the result of the election,
and we're in crowds on the streets last night
cheering themselves hoarse for Mckinney.
UP IN THE VALLEY.
HARRIsoNBURa, Va, Nov. 6.-Oficial figures

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 6.-Returns received
from two-thirds Of the state show large demo-
cratic gains in every section. The gains now
exceed 80, 900 over the vote of 1888, with losses
less than 200. The democrats will have q two
thirds majority on joint ballot in the legisla-
ture. Davis (dem.) is elected to the house

Special Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
COLUMBUS, ONO, Pm, Nov. 6.-The demo-
cratic state committee claim the election of
Campbell for governor by plurality of TO- 900,
the legislature by a majority Of 10 on joint
ballot.
The republicans concede the election of
Campbell, but tenaciously stick to their claim
that the legislature will be republican on joint
ballot with the senate a tie. They claim that
there are five counties to hear from, all Of
which are doubtful, and if these elect ma
jorlty OF republican members they will be in a
position to elect United States Senator
1t may take the official vote to decide the po-
litical status of the general assembly. Both
parties claim the state ticket after conceding
the election of Mr. Campbell.
In 1887 Foraker received plurality Of %, 329
while the balance Of the state ticket was elected
by pluralities ranging from $4,000 to 1000.
II Is more than probable that a majority of
the republican state ticket will pull through.

ernor. There will be some very ragged wounds
to dress and heal after the tumult of yester-
days election has passed away.

COLUMBUS, OHIo Nov. 6.-The re-
publican state committee at l p. IN. con-
cedes the election of Campbell and

DEMOCRATS CLAIM THE LEGISLATURE.
COLUMBUS, Nov. 6.-The republicans figure
that the senate will be democratic and the
house 81 to 81, with Halcock, Vinton, and Mus
kingum counties to be heard from. If they

them majority of one in the house.
At democratic headquarters'they claim 10, 900
