so SHE REFUSED HIM.

Last night, within the little curtained room
Where the gay music sounded family clear,
And silver lights came stealing through the
gloom,
You told the tale that women love to hear;
You told it well. with firm hands clasping mine,
And deep eyes glowing with tender light.
Mere acting? But your prayer was half divine
Last night, last night.
All you had much to offer; wealth enough
To gid the future, and path of ease
For one whose way is somewhat dark and rough;
New friends-life calm as summer seas,
And something (was it love?3 to keep US true
And make us precious in each others sight
All, then indeed my heart s resolve knew!
Last night, last night.
Let the world go, with all its dross and pelf! =
Only for one, like Portia, could l say,
81 would be trebled twenty times myself
Only for one, and he is far away;
His voice came back to me distinct and dear,
And thrilled me with the pain of lost delight,
The present faded, but the past was clear,
Last night, last night.
If others answered, as answered them,
We would hear less, perchance, of blighted
lives;
There would be truer women, nobler men,
And fewer dreary homes and faithless wives.
Because / could not give you all my best,
gave you nothing. Judge me-was l right?
You may thank heaven that stood the test
Last night, last night.

To Prevent Treating.
harrisburg (Penn.l Telegrapt

harrisburg (Penn.) Telegraph.
The bill to prevent treating, which i'm
poses a penalty of from $50 to 500 on
the man who buys or offers to buy hard !,
red liquor for another man, has been re-
ported from the committee and is now on
the house calendar. The bill aims at the
great American social vice of treating,
a vice the counterpart of which eannotabe
found in any other country in the world
and one that has done more to ruin men
than all the other evils combined.
1t is good bill to pass. 1t ought
to become a law. We know that the
men who vote for it will be accused of
niggardness and of being stingy, but that
Is not the point. Here is the point illus
trated: A thirsty man enters barroom
to get glass of beer. He meets friend,
who joins him, and instead of one beer he
drinks two. A third, perhaps fourth;
friend drops in on them as they are drink
ing, and before the man who went to buy
one glass of beer knows it he has drank
half dozen beers, and is shaky in legs
and thick in the tongue. This from the
social evil so much complained of. 1t is
about time the thing was being sat down
upon In Germany any number of Germans
can sit down and drink a glass of beer,
and each man pays for what he gets. If
he doesn It order the drink he doesn t
pay for it, and nobody ever thinks of Of
fering to pay for another man S drink
AS q consequence man doesn t feel
forced to reciprocate in the matter of
treating, and, best of all, he dOeSn t get
drunk. The great American evil is
nuisance. 1t serves to make drunkards
of men, Abolish it, if necessary, with
fine of $1,000.

The Solid South as a "Burden.

The New York Herald, remarking on
the fact that the census of next year will
not affect the electoral vote of 1892, says
that the really important change will be
in the addition of sixteen electoral votes
by the admission of new states. The
total electoral vote in 1892 viii be Al,
and president, in order to win, will
have TO receive 209 votes.
To put it differently, if the South re-
main solid, as it must and viii, New
York and New Jersey viii not be suf1i-
eient to give the Democrats victory nor
would the addition of Connecticut be
enough to elect a Democratic president :.
Arguing from these figures, the Herald
remarks that the solid South becomes
more and more burden to thoughtful

CHICAGO SOCIALISTS.
They Want All the Churches and School Houses
to Open their Doors to Them.

CHICAGO, Ill, Feb. ia meeting
of English speaking socialists was held
last night for the purpose of organizing
central educational society to agitate the
principles of socialism. Rev. DR.. Silence
of the Union tabernacle church spoke of
the need of agitation. He asserted that
he, his wife and his girl were socialists
and that his church was open for social
istic meetings. He recommended that
a committee of three be appointed
to wait on the other pastors
of the city and ask them
to allow socialists to hold meetings in
their houses of worship. Thus, he said,
the pastors would be forced to take a
position on this question. Tommy Nor
gan, a socialist of some local prominence,
said the people owned the school and
public buildings and they ought to be
open for their use. The schools were not
used in the evening. 1t was agreed the
society should agitate the eight-hour
movement. The next ssep in this direc-
ton viii be to organize the working girls.

A DESPERATE TEACHER
Attempts to Cut His Throat in the Presence Of
Els Pupils.

His Pupils.
Special to the Gazette.
WACO, TEX, Feb. ia most thrill
ing scene occurred yesterday morning at
the little sohoolhouse of Greenwood, nine
miles west of the city. The teacher,
Professor William o. Otis, a man of
sixty years, and of profound learning, in
the presence of his pupils attempted to
sever his jugular vein with pocket
knife. The screams of the frightened
and Mortified children brought to the
scene a gentleman, who took from the
would-be suicide the knife, the dullness
of which had prevented the old man
from accomplishing his purpose. When
asked what he meant, he SAID: al
want TO die because / am
afraid 1 win starve to death. - He
was brought to the city to-day
and charge of lunacy preferred against
him. The trial was had at once, and the
jury were not slow to bring in q verdict
of insanity. He viii be sent to the Terrell
asylum il he lives, which is extremely
doubtful as he has a horrible wound in
his neck, and is somewhat infirm in
health. He was once q prosperous mer-
chant in the city but on bankruptcy
Oyertaking him he turned his attention to
teaching, for which he is eminently
qualified as he was a man of letters, and
had won some distinction in that line.
He took charge of the Greenwood school
some three weeks ago.

For thirty years Mr.. Taylor has been

As the San Joaquin valley grows in
wealth the fashion of summeriDg at the
seaside gains ground more and more each
year among its well-to-do people The in
tense heat of our climate gives us our
wealth, but at the same time it makes our
population sigh for the cooling breezes of
the seashore. Among the several Califor-
MIA seaside resorts Santa Cruz is the most
popular with US. Many of our fashionable
people have summered and invested at
Santa Cruz, and since the marked increase
of the population of the San Joaquin val
ley during late years, it has been a matter
of considerable comment and surprise that
some one hasn't sought to meet the de-
mand among summer tourists for home
sites in the lovely little city beside Monterey
Bay. Now that a leading firm of San
Francisco, the Carnall- -Fizhugh- Hopkins
Company. is advertisiDga sale of tract in
Santa Cruz to take place next Saturday at
auction on the grounds, doubtless large
numbers from this valley will go TO San
Francisco and join the excursionists for
that day. An excursion ticket from San
Francisco good for return either Saturday,
Sunday or Monday, will be sold to all de-
string to visit Santa Cruz. The excursion
goes by the Narrow Gauge Railroad, leav-
ing San Francisco at 7:45 A. NJ. The unu, u
