LOwell's Last Poem.

From the New York Tribune.
The last poem of Mr.. Lowelrs which was
published in an American journal is his 'My
Brook" 1t appeared in the New York Ledger's
Christmas issue, December 10, 1890. in four
page souvenir appendix, and was illustrated
with four large cuts from drawings by Wilson
de Meza. Mr.. Lowell wrote the poem while he
was in England in the summer of 1890. and
subsequently revised it on seeing the proofs
The amount paid for it was $1,000. The poem
excited varying opinions among critics, but all
praised it for its music. its polish and graceful
diction. Oliver Dyer of Mount Vernon read
it before the Lotos Club last December. The
poem is given in part below:

which stands up like an aigrette in front. Apro-
pos Of the white gowns mentioned above, can
women who have passed their first score and
ten years continue to don white gowns and ap-
pear suitably appareled? is a question that is
often mooted-unnecessarily, one would think,
when the answer is apparent on every side, in
their general adoption by a vast number who
are no longer in the teens or twenties and who
have OWNED the art of dressing becomingly
and we'll White is no longer exclusively worn
by Juveniles, though. of course, each one will
study her individual coloring and affect the
tone Of white she has discovered a. most be-
coming, whether ivory, cream, blue, the new

or pure white. She would, however, do well to
give her preference to summer serges, nuns

silks, mohairs or anything that has q glossy
material, such as crepe de chine or chiffon.

To Mako Your Pillow Cool

From the New York Tribune.
MY pillow is 20 hot" is the frequent COM
plant of the tired individual who vainIy seeks
some cool spot on which to rest her fevered
head.
''Change the pillows frequently" We are told
by an authority on nursing, ''as nothing il moro
restful to q patient in summer than to have q
cool support to head and back"
The following suggestion, therefore, may
prove to be Of service: Take writing paper Of
any kind-old letters and envelopes can all be
made Of use-and cut in slips Of two inches
long and about half an inch wide, curl these
with dull knife and after stufing the pillow
case with them sew mp the end.
The result will be very comfortable pillow
through which there will be constant circu-
lation Of air and which will remain perfectly
cool.

from Mr.. Blaine.
ROME, April lot is reported that II
the United States government does not

tomorrow Mr.. Porter, the American
minister, will be ordered to leave Italy
and the whole Italian legation in Wash

WASHINGTON, D. c., April lot is
known here that Secretary Blaine has
prepared an answer to the message OF
Premier Rudini. The fact Of the pre-
paration of Secretary Blaine's reply is
not only we'll understood, but 1t is
stated, moreover, that the Secretary>s
letter was submitted to the President
and his cabinet, and was found to be
satisfactory. In view of the cir
cumstances it is asserted with con-
siderable confidence that the letter
Of Secretary Blaine has already been
sent to Marquis Rudini, though
whether it was communicated by mall
or telegraph is not known. If the for
mer method were adopted the ltal han
premier, it is believed, was apprlsed OF
the fact It is suggested also as very
probable that limitations have been
conveyed OF the advlsablllty OF CONDUCT
ing diplomatic negotiations between the
two countries with less publicity. For
these reasons it is thought to be almost
impossible that the rumor in Rome can
be correct.
No information could be secured in
official circles here tonight relative to
the report from Rome that Italy would
close all direct diplomatic intercourse
with the United States unless a reply
was received tomorrow to the last mes
sage of Premier Rudini on the New Or
leans Italian incident. The Rome dis
patch was shown to both the President
and Secretary Blaine tonight and each
of them returned word that he had
nothing to say on the subject. There
was a general disposition to discredit
the report in unofficial circles, but this
was based on opinion as to the
probable course of events, and no one
who was seen had any actual informa-
ton on the subject.

Count Lewenhaupt, Son-in-Law of ex-Sec-
rotary Bayard, Dead.
The daughter of ex-Secretary Bayard,
who was married less than two weeks
ago to Count Lewenhaupt, the young
Swedish nobleman, is widow. The
Count died suddenly at his home, 1017
Adams Street, in Wilmington, Del, on
the 18th. He had been indisposed for
the past two or three weeks. He was
not, however, seriously sick until
Friday, when physician was called
and found his patient suffering from a
malignant attack of typhoid fever. Di-
rectly after the wedding breakfast the
Count and Countess Lewenhaupt went
to their home, intending to remain until
May l, when they were to have left for
a European trip. The marriage of
Count Lewenhaupt to Miss Ellen,
youngest daughter of ex-Secretary of
State Bayard, took place at noon,
April 2, at the Bayard homestead in
Wilmington. Count Lewenhaupt was a
member Of noble family of Sweden,
but having chosen to make his home in
the United States preferred to be con-
sidered as a private individual. Inter-
ment will be made in the Bayard family
vault in Old Swedes' Episcopal church
yard. The Count was in his 31st year,
while the Countess is aged q years.

MURDER AND OBBERY.

dozen men concealed in the bushes

same instant several mounted men
charged upon the wagon. The driver
fell dead pom the seat, but Rodcrques
and the porter, though wounded, man
