The Poet Tennyson's Old Age.

From the Philadelphia Times
Il saw and talked with Tennyson recently"
writes an English friend to me. 1T was at the
annual flower show at Haslemere, Surrey, and
the poet had been prevailed upon to leave his
scclusion for the botanical display. 1t was his
first public appearance since his illness and
had not seen him for six months. That the
Poet Laureate is rapidly aging saw at q
glance, and this became more impressed upon
me during our brief conversation. He was no
longer the Tennyson of a year ago; talk meant
distress to him and references to persons very
close TO him in friendship, which formerly en-
listed his interest, seemed to meet with but
little response. In his walk he shuf1ed heavily
and the cane that he once carried as q compan-
ion to idly swing in moments of thought had
become almost a staff. He told me his health
was good, but his general appearance scarcely
verified his statement The strong aroma of q
pipe, carelessly jammed into ons Of his coat
pockets, was about the only thing that sug-
gested to me the Tennyson of old-there was
certainly nothing in his conversation, manner
or appearance"

Emperor Wilhelm May Visit America

1t is not likely that cruising in European
waters will satisfy the kaisers thirst for insor-
nation says the New York HerdLd's Berlin cable
today. Asia and Africa will be visited, and it
is not unlikely that the kaiser may cross the
Atlantic and see with his own keen young eyes

which he has heard and read SO much. Among
the items in the new naval estimates before

Mr.. WILLIAMS IN REPLY
A "POPCORN FESTIVAL"
How the High School Girls Raised
Money for Their School Library,

An odor of popcorn permeated the corridors
OF the high school building this morning and
mingled with the aroma of fresh paint that ex-
uded from the new walls OF the recent addi-
ton. 1t was an appetiziag compound, how
ever, and advertised to the rapidly arriving
pupils that there was something unusual about
to happen. They shifted the air sus-
piciousiy and then felt down into their
pockets for stray nickels and dimes and
smiled prophetically. There was a look of
mystery about certain of the teachers and of
the larger girls who arrived with large boxes
and bundles in their arms. The solution of all
these symptoms was contained in an announce
ment from the school rostrum yesterday morn
Ing at opening exercise i'll the exhibition hall
to the effect that the girls of the school had
determined to give what they were pleased to
term popcorn festival" where large and
generous bags OF toothsome popcorn would
be sold ut the extremely low rate of five cents
apiece, the entire proceeds to be devoted to
the use OF the school library, for the purchase
OF new fittings. The girls furnished every
thing, raw corn. peppers, and tarietan CT varie-
gated hues for the bags, so that the sales were
clear profit. The assistant principal of the

THE DEADLY PISTOL AGAIN.
A Man Shot in the Leg Last Night
A Cutting ARRAY.

The deadly pistol was used again last night.
but fortunately for the victim the bullet only
entered his leg and inflicted wound which is
not necessarily fatal one. Leonard Cole, the
victim, is a young colored man, while his as
saiant, Henry Brown. is also colored. The
former is lying on a cot in Freedmans hospital
under treatment, while the latter has been as
signed to q cell in Jail. The shooting, which
took place on 18th street extended about 7:30
O'Clock last evening, was the result of a row
between the men Monday night on the hill on
10th street extended.
BROWN NEITHER ADMITS NOR DENIES
tho shooting, but says he was in the Monday
row. He says that Cole, who lives near 10th
street extended and the Columbia road, at
| tackled him Monday night and beat him for no
cause whatever, and last night he attempted TO
repeat the same thing. Then they had the
trouble. Policemen Helan and Bryan, who
heard OF the shooting. went in pursuit of the
man who fired the shot. They succeeded in ar
resting Brown for the shooting and they also
arrested George Wells, colored, who, it is al
leged,was with Brown and made threats against
Cole.
THE CUTTING OF HENRY HOTTER.
In conducting their investigation the officers
learned something about the cutting of Henry
on information they had received they arrested
another negro named BARLEY Holmes and he
admitted that he did the cutting.
This morning in the Police Court HofTer told
his story. He is employed by John Cook, and
Tuesday evening he went out to deliver an
order. While walking up the l4th street hill
he saw eral men coming toward him. He
did not step out of their way in time and asked
them not to knock him down. as one of them
ran against him. Holmes and another man
whom he thought was Henry Brown. grabbed
him and Holmes cut him across the face and
throat. 1t was shown that Brown took no part
in that assault and the case against him was
dismissed. Holmes was sentenced to eleven
months and twenty-four days in Jail.
The charge against Brown for shooting Cole
was continued until next Friday.
