Blarnaby carried on board with him a far

of the nostrums he was wont to buy. The
two or three bits of paper nesting there so
snugly, just outside his heart, held the
charm. When the mind means business
the body will behave itself. There was the
telegram he got just us he stepped aboard

When the purple shadows hover
In the twilight gray and still,
And the wing Of night is resting
Softly on the distant hill;
When tho bells of sunset Ginning
Echo with eternal calm,
Like tho last grand chord harmonious
Oflife's closing evening psalm,
Then the toil-worn millions sleep
When the hush Of sleeping myriads
Rhymes with tho sound Of spheres
And the tread OF passing moments
Marks tho end Of weary years;
When tho solemn tide is cbMng
Softly from tho pebbly shore,
And the ships 60 out of harbor
To come back again no more.
Then we cease to sigh or weep.
When some day we weigh life's anchor.
Slowly drift out on tho tide,
Death cur pilot. and our haven
Over on the other side;
When the white mis;s leave the waters
And we hear the signal bell,
When the morning dawns before us,
Where no midnight ever fell,
Then, be owed. all will be well.

KICKING AGAINST TELEPHONES.

Many of the Downtown Ones Ruined by
Electric Wires.
The telephone is too new to be condemned,
but its working in some portions of the city
is the subject of much profanity which is
growing from month to month. It probably
works under especial disadvantages in the
lower portion of the city, as in no other
city is there so much business crowding as
in Pittsburg below the Union station.
Electric light and street railway wires seem
TO give much trouble, as on some phones you
can hear all the electric cars for ten squares
running, but often you cannot distinguish
what the person talking to you is saying
In the suburbs this difficulty is not expert
enced to any extent worth noting.
William Kerr, of Arbuckles & Co., said
that while their Office telephone worked all
right, that in his private residence was
worth but little after o'clock P NJ He
attributed it to the fact that in the evening
the electric light wires were charged
G. H. Love said his telephone seemed to
be troubled by proximity to the lines of
the electric railway on Fourth avenue, and
was somewhat unreliable at times.
d. P Black, of Black & Baird, seemed to
think their service might be improved, but
added that he didn't know just where to put
the blame, as some people said it was in
their own office.

NO LIEN ON THE STOCK.

James Chambers Says He Does Not Owe
Anything to the Jeannette Company
The Sale VIII Take Place This Morning
at the sherifrs Office.
The 1850 shares of Jeanette Plate Glass
stock belonging to James A. Chambers will
again be offered for sale at the Sheriff 8
Office this morning at 10 o'clock, at the suit
of Mrs. Martha j. Chambers. As stated in
THE DISPATCH yesterday, these shares
were offered on Monday, but the sale was
adjourned until to-day. The notice pre-
sented by Attorney P. c. Knox that the
Chambers-McKee Glass Company would
enforce lien it held on the stock was given
by Attorney j. S. Ferguson as the reason
for continuing the sale, as he wished to ex-
anime into this claim. 1t was stated that
this lien would cover the entire value of
these shares, but Attorney Knox says that
the claim would not exceed SIC, 900. This
claim due the company from Chambers
would, of course, have to be satisfied before
transfer of the stock could be made.
An interesting fact in connection with
this matter came to light yesterday. An
official of the Chambers-McKee Glass Com
Lany said that there was no such indebted
ness due the company from Chambers, as he
did not owe the company a dollar.
Mr.. Chambers was asked yesterday if this
was correct and said: eyes, that is right,
the company holds no such claim against
me- Mr.. Knox was not representing the
Chambers-McKee Glass Company in pre-
senting the notice of that lien, but he rep
resented H. Sellers Mckee personally, and
of course, as the company has nothing
| against those shares, the sale will be pro-
ceeded with and would have been on Mon
day had not Mr.. Ferguson thought it best
to continue the sale, in hopes of getting
better offer than that of the highest bid,
S33.''
Major W. G. McCandless, assignee, said:
'It's nonsense to talk of the company hold
ing lien on those shares. Mr. Chambers
is still President of that concern and no
such action could be taken without his
knowledge and consent. The presenting of
that notice at the sale on Monday was the
action of Mr.. Mckee personally and the
company had nothing to do with it. The
sale will take place tomorrow and this
matter will have no effect whatever"
Both these gentlemen were asked If they
thought that this might be a scheme to bear
the stock, by deterring intending buyers
from purchasing on account of this incum-
brance on the stock. They said that such
might possibly be the case, but refused to be
quoted on that point definitely.
H. Sellers Mckee was seen at his office,
but disclsimed any knowledge OF recent de-
velopments in financial matters, saying that
he had just returned to the city.
