stanley. Palace on wheels.
From the Chicago Herald.


During his lecture tour in the United States
Stanley will be carried from city to city in a
splendid palace car now being built for that
express purpose. Flying over the country in
this luxurious way is somewhat different
mode of travelling from plodding wearily on
foot through the dismal jungles and over the
rugged sleeps Of Central Africa. Stanley will
easily recognize the difference and undoubt-
edly contrast the comforts and 1uxuries of
modern railroad travel with his painful jour-
neyings in that dark continent. It is to the
latter, however, that he owes his worldwide
fame.

infer that he will have no difficulty in produc-

WOMEN.

Fairer than all the fantasies that dart
Adown the dreams of our most favored sleep.
Thy perfect form, since Eden's day, doth keep
Thy constant pattern of perfect arti
Yet more must we admire thy better part
The spirit strong TO smile when others weep
And well know we who sail life's ocean deep
There is NO haven like woman's heart.
Thus, often weary ere the strife is won,
Tired of my task, my head fain would lay
In some good lady's lap, as did ''the Dane"
And watch the action of the world go on,
Knowing tits but play within play,
The feeting portion of an endless plan.

THE DIMPLE IN HER CHEEK.
She really isn't handsome, for her hairs an
ugly shade;
Her eyes are like pale-blue glass Of circus
lemonade;
Her nose is short her chin is long. her voice has
got squeak:
But, ah! you'd be delighted with the dimple in
her cheek.
I'm often sorely constrained her looks to criti-
else;
I'm sorry that can't adore her hair, her nose,
her eyes;
But of these unattractive things I'm powerless
to speak
Whenever 1 may gaze upon the dimple in her
cheek.
OF all the many pretty girls my heart has ever
known,
IT'S she of all the lot that would gladly call my
own.
For while In many ways her claim to beauty's
very weak
I'd simply like to own for life the dimple in her
cheek. Chicago Post.

at Least Five Lives Lost as the Result
OF Carelessness in Michigan.
EAST SAGINAW, MICH, April 13.-The
steamer Handy Boy, of the Bay line river
steamers, running between Saginaw and
Bay City, while bound down this afternoon
ran into the Flint and Pere Marquette
railroad bridge, carrying away all her
upper works. The steamer was sixty feet
west of her proper cour Sc
in the channel. Carelessness on
the part of those in charge is given as the
cause of the accideut. Capt. Bolsen got
ashore and escaped, although the police are
searching for him. George Little, the en-
gineer, and Edward Trump, the man at
the wheel, are in Jail.
FIVE KNOWN TO HAVE DROWNED.
Those reported drowned are:
MISS MAY HAIGHT, aged %.
MRS CATHERINE NEVINs. an old lady.
Two LADIES and one unknown man.
No bodies have been recovered yet.
A number of passengers were slightly in
jured, and J. w. Thompson was badly hurt
and was taken to hospital
1t is estimated that there were thirty peo-
pie on the boat at the time Of the accident,
and all were swept into the river.
The number lost, therefore, reported at
this hour is merely conjecture.
