And the iris crown o frame:
But those gains are dear forever

Natures gospel never changes;
Every sudden force deianges;
Blind enleavor is not wise
Wisdom enters through the eyes,
And the seer is the knower,
Is the doer and the sower."

Listening to the evening hour:
Sees the roads diverge and blend,
Sees the wandering currents end
Where the mo veless waters shine
On the far horizon line
All the stored past is nine:
all its strange beliefs still clinging;
All its singers and their singing:
All the paths that lead astray:

Where the gain and the loss
In The desert they must cross?
Guides who lead their charge from ills.
Passing soon from town to town,
Through the forest and the down,
Take direction from the hills:
Those who range a wider land
Higher climb until they stand
Where the past and future swing
Like far blue ocean-riny
Those who sail from land afar
Leap from mountain-top to star,
Higher still from star to God
Have the spirt-pilots trod,
Setting lights for mind and soul
That the ships may reach the goal.
They shall safely steer who see,

in that year than in any year since 1886.

DIED WHILE SEASICK.
Mrs. Carlotta Solari Expires on
Fishing-Smack.

Carlotta Solari, young Italian woman,
the wife of n bootblack who keeps
a stand on the corner of California
aud Battery streets, died in a fish,
ing smack ON thesbay late last night under
very peculiar circumstances.
Early yesterday morning Mrs. Solari, in
company with twenty others of tile
same nationality as herself, went
on picnic excursion to Sausa-
Tito. The party drank considerable
during the day. Toward evening Mrs.
Solari got separated from her husband and
missed the last boat. She managed to get a
fishiDg-smack, and the party started for
this city.
The two men who accompanied her
claim that when the smack was two
miles out Mrs. SOlari died. On the
arrival of the fishing smack the
Coroner was notified and the body
was conveyed from the boat to the Morgue.
1t is not known what was the cause of
her death. A post-mOrten examination will
be held this morning.
Antonio Morelli, a fruit-peddler, hired the
smack from A. Sanquinetta, as Mrs. So
lar told him she must get home
of the boat both men were arrested and
taken to the Central Station, where they
will be held pending an investigation by
the Coroner
Morrelli claims that Mrs. solari became
seasick, and while he was holding her mead
she expired.
There are no signs of violence on her per-
son. and il is thought she died from natural
causes.
Mrs. Solari resided at II Hashberry
place. She was % years of age and leaves a
husband and a child 10 years old. The
child was at the picnic and came over with
the father after Mrs. Solari became sepa-
rated from her husband at the ticket office.

SUNDAY FUNERALS.

Rev. DIR. Harcourt Enters Vigorous
Protest Against Them.
At the Howard-street Methodist Church
last evening the pastor, Rev. DR.. Harcourt,
delivered a sermon on "Undertakers and
Funerals" The text was taken from
Ezekiel, 39th chapter. 14th and 10Th verses !:
And they shall sever out men Of continual en-
poymen., passing through tile land TO bury.
And The passengers lnat pass through I tne aad ma
up sign by 10 till the buriers have buried II In
tile valley OF Hamongog.
"The world is vast burying plot" said
the preacher. Eve can hardly take step
without treading on dust once on time as
our own" After dwelling upon the neces
sity for undertakers, and also of the beauti-
full custom of carrying flowers to the funeral
services, the preacher spoke of the great
extravaganza which characterizeS the
funerals of to-day. He said there is one and
a quarter more money expended annually
for funerals in the United States than the
Government expends for public schools.
1--WE are" he said, slaves to the tyrany
of custom. There is much need of reform
and 0f the establishment OF proper pub
lie sentiment in the matter OF reducing eX-
penses of burials. Cremation is the remedy
for the evils of costly funerals" Another
evil which the preacher dwelt upon is that
of burying our dead on the Sabbath. This
he pronounced as AN open violation OF the
fourth commandment. and also violation
of one of the rules of the disciplin Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church.
4" / utter my protest." said the preacher,
against burying the dead on the Sabbath
in behalf of the carriage horses that need
rest, in behalf of the drivers who should
have one day in the week to themselves, In
behalf of the grave-digger, in behalf Of the
undertaken and in behalf of the ministers"
He reminded his hearers that they might
get along without the minister or the
church ministratiOns, but to have a respec-
table funeral their friends would very likely
employ minister, if only for the sake of
appearances. He urged them, therefore, to
the material out of which the minister
might frame a good funeral discourse.

ILLUSTRATING BOOKS.

The Fancy Prices That Some Artists
Realize.
To take an uncut and unbound copy of an
ordinary book, like Grants Memoirs" for
example, and after some mouths artistic
labor upon its margins and blank spaces to
make it worth $500 OF $1,000 would be con-
sidered great feat by those who are unfa-
miliar with the Irices obtained for hand
illus trated books. The public at large never
sees such volumes. The artist remains un-
known except to limited number of wealthy
book lovers and their friends. His work,
incased in tooled Levant and )ustrOus satin,
is carefully laid away, to be brought forth
only on rare occasions. Since such work,
however meritorious, brings to the artist
no lame, and one life is too short to pro-
duce many elaborately illustrated books, he
must ind his sole consolation in money,
Tegretting doubtless that he cannot realize
the prices his books are sure to bring a
hundred years hence.
Many patron of art who would not hes
itate to pay $1,000 or $4,000 for a modern
French painting with famous name In the
corner would stand aghast If asked to pay as
many hundreds for an illustrated book
which for safety must be kept out OF view.
Indeed, one millionaire who is said to have
paid $4,000 for spurious Corot, when Of
Tered a illustrated book for $3.50 eX-
claimed:

Special Dispatches to THE MoRSINe CALL

CHICAGO, July 20.-At large meeting
held in Farwell Hall this afternoon resolu-
tions were adopted by rising vote that the
Legislature about to meet in special ses-
sion be earnestly requested to see to it that
the Worlds Columbian Exposition be
closed on Sundays. The resolutions de-
clare that the injury to the city, State and
nation of an open European Sabbath can
not be estimated, and that the American
institution Of quiet Sabbath must not be
trampled in the dust. The example set by
the United States at Philadelphia in 1876,
and Paris in 1889, should be continued, and
we owe it to the working people OF the
world, and especially to those of our
own nation, that this most precious
boon of Test-day be saved for
them. A copy of the resolutions will be
forwarded to the State Senate and House,
Governor Fifer, President Harrison, the
Commissioners of the Exposition and the
Chicago Board Of Directors. The meeting
was under the auspices of gentlemen more
or less identified with the Young Mems
Christian Association and the Chicago
Evangelical Union. The Worlds Fair mat
ters were not primary objects of the ga TIL
ering. The resolutions we're introduced
and adopted after the speeches, following
upon statements made by Major Whittle,
who has just returned from London, re-
garding the interest being taken across the
Atlantic in everything pertaining to the
coming exposition.

Plundered by Thieves and Then Murder
Ously AssaiIed.
While Officer Clarke was standing on the
corner of Bush andStockton streets early yes
terday morning he heard two men running
down the steps Of building in the middle
Of the block. Thinking that something was
wrong, he ordered them TO stop, but they
started on run. Officer Clarke gave chase
and with the assistance OF Officer CorcOran
succeeded in capturing one of the men, who
gave the name of Ernest Collins.
The officers then went back to $50 Bush
street. and discovered that a ROOM in the
building had been entered and the occu-
pant robbed and assaulted. The occupant
is named John Constantine, and works for
n fruit-man at 502 Kearny street While
Consta ntine was sleeping the men entered

One of the men picked up piece of crock

stantine received three ugly scalp wounds,
his head being badly split open. He claims
TO have had his pockets rifed OF So so. After
the assault he departed, saying he was 60
ing to the Receiving Hospital to have his
injuries dressed, but he never put in an ap-
pearance at that institution. The police
looked for him all day yesterday, but were
unable to find him.
Ernest Collins was locked up in the

STUDY OF THE VOICE.

1t Should Not Be Delayed Until Other
Studies Are Completed.
Study of the voice should not be delayed
until other studies are completed. AS soon
as child begins to read some idea of how
the voice should be used should be given
him. Children naturally use their voices
correctly; their ordinary tones of conver sa-
ton are Invariably correct. but they
are ready imitators. and if the voices
about them are harsh. throaty or gut
tural, theirs soon become so. Very few
teachers, even in the best schools, have any
scientific knowledge of the voice, says
writer in the Jenness-M Miller Magazine. The
importance of speaking distinctly is i'm
pressed upon the youthful pupil, and, as his
idea of distinctneSs is allied to sound, sharp
disagreeable tones are cultivated. A teach
er's voice will often express the irritation
she refrains from manifesting in other
ways, and the moral results and influences
of such expressions are hardly less serious
than the physiological A child should be
taught to have the voice always sweet,
and this teaching should be more
by example than by precept. Breath
ing exercises should be early taught, and
voices and bodies allowed to develop
naturally. When it is more generally un-
derstood how clearly voice is a revealer Of
character, the test of ability to instruct will
not be determined alone by facility in an
swering certain technical questions. The
intellectual power of the teacheris too often
at the present time the primary conSidera-
tion; but this condition is not to last, morris
the mental development of the child to be
of more value than the physical in the
schools of the future.
To keep the bright, happy joyous ring
youth in the voice is 10 keep the heart, as
well as the body, young, for tones produce
structural growths of body and soul. The
child who IS allowed 10 express his ill-tem-
per in words and tones is affected physi-
caIly and morally. Note the faces, forms
and role. The man who on the stage ex-
presses always a morbid condition becomes
eventually morbid everywhere. If sweet,
happy, musical tones are only mechanical
at iirst they will, through practice, become
natural. To study vocal culture. therefore,
is to become possessed of many valable Sc
crets.-Boston Herald.

ALL QUIET In CHILE.
The Reported Uprising Was Nothing More
Than a Strike.

CHICAGO, July 2O-Charles E. Brookings
of Chile, one of the owners of the Gillian
nitrate mines, is in this city. In an inter
view to-day he said that upon landing in San
Francisco last week he was alarmed
at the reports Of Chilian revolution cur
rent in the United States. but to-day be re-
ceived a cablegram4rOm his brother at Val
paraiso stating there has been no trouble
of any such nature.
ut was foolish of me to believe such
rumor," said Brookings to-day,
"Ior l know the Gillian Government
is too powerful to allow a revolu-
tion. These report are most fearfully
exaggerated. Any trouble we have there is
never anything more than strike. Such
uprisings are directed against the employ
ers of labor, and not, as your cables always
have it. against the Government"
Speaking of the Worlds Fair Mr.. Brook
ings said the Gillian journals are now urg-
ing the country to excel the exhibit made at
Paris. He is sure Chile will show at Chi
cago how greatly she leads the South Amer
lean republics.

GLAD TO GET RID OF HIM.


The Jaiier of the Due d'Orleans Was
Prisoner Also.
The Due d'Orleans was not more glad to
leave Clairvaux than NJ. Arnaud. the Gov
ernor, was to see him set at liberty. That
functionary is what Zola would call un bon
zig He is a clever, scholarly man, and
thorough Bohemian, prizing most iDtellec-
tual freedom and independence of the COM
forts and elegancies of civilized life. Loung-
ing in public libraries, cafes and newspa-
per offices were his great pleasures before
he was sent to govern Clairvaux. There is
a sub-Governor there who manages the
prison so well in his absence that, until
the Due d'Orleans became a prisoner,
the Governor was, often able to run
to Paris. But after that event he
was himself virtually a prisoner. The
Dues letters and those he received had
to be read. Orders were sent down from
Paris to make things as pleasant as might
be without scandalous disregard of the
rules. What the Governor was constantly
fearing was the Due falling i'll with indi-
gestion. The hillsides around Clairvoux
are rich in those ailmentary snails that
fatten on the vines.
As the captive was never tired Of eating
them, and they were hard to digest, NJ. Ar
maud was in constant fear OF being charged
with trying to poison the illustrious pris-
oner, and SO. to cOunteract the effects
of too richly furnished table, he
was always urging him to take exer-
else. The Dues relatives did their best
not to let him derive moral benefit from
his ordeal. He was pampered by them to an
inconceivable degree. Hampers were con-
stantly arriving with alimentary luxuries.
He had an impatient temper, and on his
name day got into tantrum on coming out
Of his bedroom on seeing his big sitting
room filled with flowers. "Tant de fleurs,
ct 81 peu de libertew he said, and kicked
the bouquets about Everything that
could be done was done TO
keep him on bed of roses. At the
outset he rather enjoyed the pedestal on
which, he conceived, being in prison set
him. But he ended, as well he might, by
getting sick of confinement and turned
pale, as on the hundredth day of his cap
tivity the Governor reminded him that he
had only undergone an eighth part of the
time to which he was sentenced.-London

A MONSTER TUNNEL.

The Great Engineering Feat in Upper
India.
An article in the Allahabad Pioneer gives
some interesting particulars concerning the
tunnel that has just been completed through
the KhOjak on the railroad from Queua to
Candahar. The Khojak Pass is 1900 feet
above the sea and about 1000 feet above the
level Of the surrounding country. The tun-
mel pierces the range at right angles and its
course is therefore due east and west, and
it enters the hill at about 1000 feet below
the crest OF the pass. The length of the
tunnel is Il, 600 feet, or two and a half miles
approximately, and it will carry double
line of rails. For the first half the floor
ascends about TO 1000 and for the second
half of the journey 1t descends at an incline
of in 40.
There are two main shafts, one 318 feet
and the other 900 feet deep, which were
sunk in order to facilitate the construction
of the tunnel The chief obstacle to pro-
gress arose from the flooding OF the tunnel
at more than one point A large spring
was cut and the water flooded the shaft
ON the Candahar side to the depth OF
$50 feet. 1t took ten weeks to pump out
the water, and in the western head

We're constantly rushing out of the west
mouth. In order to overcome this diff
Guilty side cutting had to be made. The
magnitude OF the work is testified to by
the banks OF shale and rock at the mouths
OF the tunnel and at the pitheads, which
are SAID to be quite altering the landscape
IN places. One curious di scovery made

A BOGUS DOLLAR.
Systematic COunterfeiting Of Rare and An
tiQue Coins Of The United States.

NEW YORK, July 2O.-During the last
annual sale Of valuable and antique coins
by Hazeltine of Philadelphia what to all
appearances seemed to be rare silver dol
lar, bearing the date of 1906, sold for $500.
This dollar was one of the spurious pieces
that had lately flooded the market. 1t was
sent to the Numismatic Association
and examined by an expert. 1t was
dollar of 1915 with the second figure
81" struck out and a cipher substi-
tuted before the by means of a
tiny block. This discovery led to an in
vestigatiOn by the association Of all the
coin collections in the country, and it was
seen that the systematic counterfeiting OF
rare and antique United States coins was
carried on somewhere. by tracing the
places whence the coins came to Hazeltine
by the postmarks the detectives discovered
three central stations for the shipment oil
these goods. The stations are: New York
City. Pana Christian, ILL.,, and Neoga, Cum

CHICAGO, July 20.-A party of Mexican
merchants and ranchers from the State of
Sonora arrived to-day in special car. All
of the party are young men representing
the wealthiest and most enterprising class
of Mexieo's northwestern coast. The

Company thought by bringing the

the manufacturing business and whole

the trend of commerce might be
changed, and by showing the Mexicans
that their needs can be satisfied
from the United States more quickly at the
same cost and with better articles, the trip
would be of benefit both to the two coun-
tries and to the railway itself. The trip

Roswell Lombard Run Over by a Buggy
Howard Street.
Roswell Lombard, an elderly man, resid-
ing at GAG Folsom street, was run over by
buggy driven by two men about o'clock
yesterday afternoon on the corner of Elev-
enth and Howard streets and received in
juries that will almost certainly result in
his death. He was removed TO the Receiv-
Ing Hospital. where an examination proved
that the base of his skull was fractured.
The operation of trepanning was performed
by the Police Surgeon. Lombard was also
bruised and cut on the body and legs. The
men who were in the buggy are believed to
have attended a funeral that took place
from a house on Howard street, near
Twelfth, as one Of them carried a large
bouquet.
After running over Lombard they put the
whip to the horse and drove rapidly away.

some boys who saw the occurrence, and off
