BABY LILIES LONG JOURNEY.
A Six-Year-Old Child Travels From New
York To sam Era ancisco Alone.


York TO San Francisco Alone.
SAN FRANCISCO, October 26-When the
boat bringing overland passengers arrived on
this side of the bay this morning a policeman
on duty had his attention drawn by little
dark-haired maiden, not three feet high, tug
ging at his coat-tail. "Please, sir" said the lit
tie tot, 'rse looking for my papa. come aw-
full far from home to see him and tan't fine
him." The policeman saw q letter pinned to
her dress. 1t was from William Poosh, Gen.
eral Eastern Passenger Agent of the New York
Central and Hudson River Railroad, and an
nounced that little Lille Kilsby, six years old,
had been placed in Poosh's care for safe trans
portation to San Francisco. He requested all
conductors over the lines she travelled to help
the little one along. There was also q note,
dated October 19, from A. j. Thieman Elgin
o., of the Lake Shore Southern Railway,
which said:
This child has money or food, except what
charitable passengers have given her. Some one
should be jailed for starting little infant that
way on such journey. Do not give her money,
as that would be stolen from her. but see that she
is regularly fed, thinking of your little ones at
home.
Lilies friends who were to meet her at the
depot, failed to appear, so the policeman took
care of her. The little one said her mother
had been dead long while aud she hadn't seen
her father for years.

AN AUTUMN PASTORAL.

Long ago dream dreamed,
Where an endless journey seemed
Waiting for my naked feet
Through the stubble Of the wheat.
Hopelessly before me lay
That interminable way;
Never could that field be crossed
In the gray horizon lost.
Painting heart and grief and trouble
Met me with that field of stubble.
Suddenly beside me there
Two great Shapes was aware,
Shedding light about the land,
Hovered one at either hand,
Lifted me a little way,
Stretched wide wings in rhythmic play;
Rosy wings from head to feet
Skinned with me above the wheat,
Lifted me from grief and trouble,
Bore me all across the stubble.
oyoung sweethearts, walking now,
Where the leaf has left the bough,
Though you know it not, those two
Lovely angels move with you,
Weaving each rosy plume,
Yelling dullest skies with bloom
Going all your way in sooth.
Mighty spirits-Love and Youth
Lift you over grief and trouble.
Skim with you across the stubblei

THE startling reports of the extermina-

be able to endure the suferings of cold

up prices of fuel, under the terrible hard
ships of seal-skin famine, cannot well be
seen. Whatever may be done with coal,
gas or petroleum, the seals must be pre-

THE sorrow of Baron Reuter- at finding
that the supposed banking monopoly grant
ed him by the Shah is made no monopoly at
all by similar grant to Russian crowd,
permits some unfavorable conclusions as to
the sort of business which the Baron ex-
pected to do in Persia. For square banking
no monopoly is needed; and the deduction is
quite plain that the eminent European
financier intended to use the concession OF
the Persian monarch by squeezing his SUBJ
jects to a superlative degree.

AN ADVENTIST LEADER TALKS.
Impossible to Fix the Date When the
World Will End.


MONTREAL, October 26.-The Adventists
here have not been at all disturbed over the
threatened destruction of the world, and have
not believed in Ayers predictions William
W. Robertson, elder of the Advent Christian
congregation and leader of the sect here says:
mo intelligent Adventist believes that this
world Is ever to come to an end, but, as the
Psalmist says. 1t is established that it shall not
be moved If it is to be regarded as an evi-
dence of weak-mindedness on the part of some
supposed Adventist to be expecting this world
to come to an end upon any particular date,
what of those who are responsible for the intro
duction of this absurd doctrine into
the text of sacred Scripture at the expense
of truth7 1t is fact well known to every
Bible scholar that in every instance where the
phrase The end of the world occurs it should
simply read The end of the age,' the root
translated world being 8on, signifying age
or dispensation. Yet our so-called divines
have continued to wink at this deliberate per-
version of an important truth, and IN numer-
Gus instances to use the proverbial phrase to
frighten poor simpletons into the very absurd
ity at which they pretend to laugh"

SOME very lively sentences were imposed
by the courts yesterday. Terms of three and
five years for the men engaged in the Sulii-
van abduction case, and from six months to
year and three-quarters, with $500 to
$1,000 fines, for illegal liquor selling, are
likely to prove very instructive warnings.
There may be some other prevalent offenses
that call for severer sentences and do not
get them nowadays, but it is likely to have
q salutary effect when the courts show that
those who break the laws must undergo
severe penalties.
