&NEEuNo AT THE THRESHOLD,

Eva Eneeliug at the threshold. weary, faint
aud sore,
Waiting for the dawning, for the opening Of
the door;
Waiting till the Master shall bid me rise and
come
TO the glory of His presence, to the gladness
OF His home.
A weary path I've Travelled mid darkness
storm and strife,
Rearing many a burden, struggling for my
life:
FSut now the morn is breaking, my toll will
soon be o'cr;
I'm kneeliug at the threshold, my hand is on
the door.
sYethinks hear the voices of the blessed as
they stand
Singing in the sunshine of the far-of, sinless
land;
Oh, would that were with them, amid the
shining throng.
MingIing in their worship, joining in their
soRg.
The friends that started with me have entered
long ago:
One by QUE they left me struggling with the
foe;
Their pilgrimage was shorter, their triumph
How lovingly they'll hail me when all my
toll is done!
With then the blessed angels that know no
grief nor sin,
) see them by the portals, prepared to let me
in;
@ Lord, wait Thy pleasure, Thy time and
way are best;
But rRl Wasted, worn and weary-O Father.

SETTLED AT LAST.
Herman B. Chapman gets Judgment
Against the Express Company,

Against the Express Company.
The $4,000 damage suit brought by
Heeman B. Chapman against the
United States Express company and
Others was settled in Judge Tuthill's
court at Chicago Thursday. Chap
man was given judgment for 81, 800.
About ten years ago Chapman, who
was agent for the U. S. Express com
pany at La Sale, was arrested upon
the charge of stealing $l4, 900 from the
company. He plead not guilty and
was tried in the Circuit Court, Judge
Leland presiding The jury returned
verdict of not guilty. Judges Blan-
chard and Eldredge defended Chap
man. He was arrested later and tried
for perjury. This time a verdict Of
guilty was returned and Chapman
was sentenced to serve five years in
Joliet penitentiary. When his time
expired he was arrested for embezZle-
ment and later the express company
got judgment for $4,000 against
him. He refused to schedule his prop
.erty and was put in jail. The com
pany paid his board for four years and
then through the efforts of Charles S.
Miller, of Chicago, ex-county judge of
La Sale county, Chapman was given
his liberty. The u. S. Supreme Court
reviewed the facts in the case and de.
cided the company was not entitled to
the $ls, 900 Judgment and consequent
ly it was annulled. Later Chapman
commenced suit to recover $4,000
for false Imprisonment and, as stated,
it was settled Thursday.
This is probably the end of this re-
markable case. Chapman is again a
free man after ten years spent in a
prison cell by virtue of a debtors law
passed for his especial benefit.

Batavia is just now in the throes of
a red hot post Office fight. The town is
full Of patriots who are quite unani-
nous that the present democratic in
cumbent must go, but which particu-
lar one of the patriotic thrOng is to
succeed him, that is cOnundrum over
which there has been much rancOrOus
division of opinion. Congressman Hop
kins undertook to grapple with it, but
had to give it up. To bring the mat
ter to solution, however, he directed
the candidates to subject their claims
to the ordeal of ballot by the repub-
lican voters of the town. This was a
sort of test few cared to undergo and
the roll of candidates rapidly dwindled
down to two, who are to be voted for
to-day, the excitement being at white
heat and betting heavy as at a horse
race,
