The Kiss that you gave me this morning

a Jewel of loves fair adornlng,
To treasure while you Were away.
A gem far more precious than rubles,
AZ pure as n pearl of the sea;
IA my hearts hidden casket place it,
With the joy it has given 10 me,
Ing look that you gave me this morning
have seen 1t to-day everywhere!
WitlAlts loving glow cheering and warming
fle gloom and the chill in the air.
The shadows have been but as sunbeams
Lite has seemed all so joyous and free,
hr The tender loye-lght In blue eyes,
7 S6u' gave IN the morning TO me-
The words that you gave me this morning
They have echoed for me oil day long
The flowers seemed more sweetly adorning,
And the birds had merrier song.
The long hours have been, Oh, so happyl
So glad all the toll of today,
For the kiss, the look and the sweet words
You gave me at going away

Hon. William F. causey and ex-
Governor Stockley, Of Delaware, who are
foremost among the movers ia the pro

coke Point, remained in this county
after the meeting here yesterday, and
spent to-day in looking into the scheme

oysters shipped to the Baltimcrs market
are taken. The oyster measurers Of Bal
timore say that 80 600 bushels are
shipped from there per week, and are
this season selling for eighty cents a
bushel This means $4,000 week
There are 5000 people living around the
sound, on islands rear by, and 5000
along the line to add to the support Of

The Slayer OF Samuel Goldberg on Trial
for Murder.
Mile Panh0Tst the slayer OF Samuel
Goldberg, was the central attraction of the
New City Hall yesterday. The court
room Of Department II was crowded with
spectators, and every movement of the un-
fortunate young woman was watched with
the utmost interest. She was dressed in
deep black, and her face was partially con-
cealed by thin black veil.
All day long she sat Just in the rear of
her counsel without hardly changing her po-
sitiOn. She wore downcaSt expression
continually, and nothing except the APP
prOach of some friend caused her to raise
her eyes. The time up to about o'clock in
the afternoon was consumed in securing q
jury, when it was found that the box was
exhausted and that a special yenire would
be necessary.
r. J. Mercer. real estate dealer, was one
of the jurors examined. He said he didn't
think he could vote to convict a woman Of
any crime that would cause her TO be hanged.

could have no redress from the man who

to render a verdict that would result in

The Decision Rendered in the Case OF the
S:ngaIese.
T. A. da Silva, the Singalese, whose jew
elry was seized on Natoma street nearly one
month since, and who was put on trial IN
the United States District Court for alleged
smuggling. is one of the happiest men in the
city and his face is as radiant as a dark face
can become. Even young MART. the nephew,
and the agent are made happy with their
senior and MASTER for as he feels he makes
those in his power feel. The cause OF all
this is decision rendered by Judge hotf-
man yesterday, by which the jewelry was
ordered placed in bond, with three cases left
there by the Singalese when they landed.
On Tuesday morning the trial was conf
menced and the story of the Secretary who
informed on Da Silva. was told. 1t ar
ragned him for having conspired with an
attache of the steamship Gaelic to bring the
stuff ashore, and made a clear case for
the prosecution. The informant. it is
claimed, is late acquisition Of the Salvation
Army, but that he denied.
Yesterday morning the trial was resumed
and fhe evidence OF the defense was taken.
Da Silva did not deny having taken the
jewels ashore, but did deny the completely

pleaded his right TO land them on account
OF having worn them ashore, but dld not
make clear how he wore the unset stones.

this subject pressed
After summing up the case, Judge Hotf
man made his order, which places the
jewels beyond the customs authorities in
case Of export. and only Liable to duty in
case the owner wishes to land them.
Special Agent of the Treasury Irwin
characterized the decision as very queer"
He said the point for Judge Hoffman to de-
eide was whether the jewels had been
smuggled; but that he had gone beyond and
ordered them placed in bond. which puts
them where they can be exported by the
Slngalese, as he understands they intend TO
do To Honolulu or elseA here free of duty.
