NOR VOICE NOR SPEECH.

TO one who long and long hath sought
How impotent of speech, II he
Have aught of loves humility.
What words the story can translate
When one hath found his own souls mattel
What voice hath he that can bent
A Joy so almost infinite?
There cannot be q common tongue
For soul and body, so among
The world Of worlds wander, lost,
Not fuding what l need the most.
Not till the soul from earth is free
Will it have wisdom perfectly
TO tell what bliss its being moves,

And yet. beloved, here We are
sOn earth and heaven lies afar;
Nor would haste, my very dear,

Earth is so sweet; so dearest. take
What l can give for loves own sake;
And of sweet silence, | beseech,
Make what transcends my utmost speecni
and where fail. pray let her
BE my mute souls interpreter.

A Cherokee Romance.



From the st. Louis Globe, Democrat,
On prominent eminenee in the
prairie overlooking the town oil
Tahlequah has been a solitary grave
for sixteen years, 1t contained the
remains OF Mary Downing, the vile
of a full-blooded Cherokee CHIEF,
Lewis Downing. At the time OF her
death the place was her home, ana
it was her dying request that she
should be buried on the summit OF
the hill. Since then the property has
passed into strange hands, and the
grave has been in the midst OF
corn field. The present owner,
gentleman from Georgia, hearing
she was u chiefs wife, thought it was
due her to rest in a more sacred
place. So her remains were eXhum-
ed and taken to the Tahlequah Gene
terry. Her maiden name was Mary
| Aver. She was horn in Bethlehem,
Pa, was educated and accomplished,
and a woman OF wealth. She had
romantic ideas, and her infatuatlon
for Indians was extreme.
In 1865 Chief Lewis Downing was
sent to Washington, d. e., on busI-
ness for the Cherokees. Though
full blood he spoke English quite
well. While at Washington he had
occasion to visit Bethlehem, and ac'
| cidently met Miss Aver, who fell Dies
perately in love with him. The chief
fingered longer in Bethlehem than
he had intended, not being able to
tear himself away from the charms
OF so fair lady, and ere his depart.

bride and share u place in his wig

to dispose of her property and con

Dc wning returnedto his nation, and

cooled and he wrote withdrawing his
engagement.
She after reading his letter, re
marked that sit took two to make a
contract and two TO break il, " and
so wrote him. Before this letter had
reached the chief he had married a
dusky maiden OF his own tribe. Miss
Aver. having gotten everything IN

According to contract, she arrived
at Tahlequah, and on hearing OF his
marriage, made up her mind "a

KING hts of Labor.

TOLEDO. Nov. 10.-The Knights Of
Labor convention met this morning.
The forenoon was spent in necessary
routine matters. The report of the COM
mittee on law was presented and laid
over to hear Powderly's annual address
which was ordered printed and dis
tributed to members before being given
to the public. General Secretary and
Treasurer Hayes reported. The total
annual receipts were S09,G85.22, expendi-
lures S102,414.36, balance on hand at be-
ginning of year S13.053.13, balance now
in the treasury S1O.2293.7 70. The general
executive boards report followed. 1t
states there is a growing feeling in En-
gland and other countries in favor of
autonomy and recommends that this
should be granted. A number of let
ters were read from the order in
South Africa and New Zealand where it
is growing rapidly. The board has pre-
pared a full statement of the difficulty
with the government bureau of engrav-
ing and printing at Washington which
will be distributed to delegates. The
board congratulates the order on its
membership of 250,OOO. but cautions it
against the reckless admission of mem
bers. This evening a formal reception
was given the general officers and dele
gates at Memorial hall. The address of
welcome was by Mayor Emmick, re
sponded to by Powderly. Other adj
dresses were made 10y citizens and mem
bers Ut the order.

Chicago, Nov. IL The stars and
stripes waved aloft tonight after a scene
Of excitement u~nequalled since the Hay
market riot. Over a thousand anarchists
or anarchist sympathisers had crowded
into West 18th street, at Turner hall to
commemorate the day, Nov. IL, 1887, on
which their fellow anarchists were hung.
1t was the most decisive demonstration
of the kind since the eventful evening,
May 4th, when scores of police went
down in blood. Speeches were extreme
and the red emblems covered every
thing.
The climax came during the incen-
diary utterances of II. b. Weissman,
editor of the New York Baker a German
trades paper. Inspector of Police Hub
bard accompanied by Lieutenant
Gibbons and a squad of officers in citi-
Zens clothes we're seen to quietly ap-
proach the stage. They ordered an
American flag placed among the flaming
crimson banners which were c%onspicu-
Gus everywhere. Instantly there was a
profound sensation in the motley audi.
ence and the police were Kissed from all
parts of the hall. Mrs. Lucy Parsons,
who occupied a chair against the rear
wall, shrieked out, Hang the murderers
of my husband" In "a second pande-
monium reigned. Hundreds of excited
men pushed forward cursing the officers
and seemingly only wanting a leader to
| precipitate a frightful spectacle
of carnage. Nevertheless Inspec-
tor Hubbard unflinchingly ordered
the suspension of the meeting
until his commands were obeyed.
Through the din the half hundred
polite could be seen placing their hands
ON their clubs and revolvers preparatory
to the fight which seemed inevitable. 1t
was fully ten minutes before order was
restored. A flag meanwhile had been
reluctantly hoisted to a place over the
stage, the proceeding only being accom-.
plished when the officers were found
ready for action.

A Great Company.

The Butte & Boston company is now

employs between GOO and 700 men. 1t
distributes every thirty days $4,000
among the laboring men of Butte. 1t
purchases nearly all its supplies from
local merchants and thus evinces a pub
lie spirit which has made for its manage
ment many friends. 1t is producing cop
per and silver at a constantly increasing
rate. 1t Is paying off a heavy bonded
indebtedness at a rate which will soon
make it a heavy dividend payer. With
captain Palmer as general manager and
Captain Hoatson as general underground

The Worlds w, G, T. U.

BosTON, Nov. II. - The Worlds
Women's Christian Temperance Union
held it's first meeting in Faneuil hall this
morning. The hall was decorated with
flags of different nations, those of Eng
land and America being chief among
them. Miss Frances Willard opened the
meeting and placed it in charge of Lady
Somerset. After singing Rock of Ages
by those assembled, Lady Somerset led
in prayer, after which she spoke briefly
for the cause. The report of the execu-
tive committee, which embodied the
constitution and bylaws, was accepted.
A declaration of principles, which has
the following for its preamble, was then
adopted by the convention.
In the love of God and humanity. we.
representing the Christian women of the
world. band ourselves together with the
solemn conviction that our united faith
and works will. with Gods blessing,
prove helpful in creating a strong public
sentiment in favor of personal purity of
life, including total abstinence from the
use of all narcotic poisons. the protection
of the home by killing traffic in alcoholic
liquors, opium, tobacco, and impurity;
the suppression by law of gambling and
Sunday breaking; the enfranchisment
of the women of all nations. and the es-
Establishment of a congress of national and
international arbitration which shall
Danish war from the world.
The declaration is in the nature Of
a pledge binding the members
to work for the purpose of
the union and asking all others to make
common cause against liquor and mar
cotics. The plan of the Worlds work,
including provisions for u half dozen
Christian temperance missionaries in
foreign lands, was approved and provis-
ion made for the collection of half a cent
per annum tax on the members of the
union throughout the world for the main
tenance of the work. Mrs. Tel Como, a
Japanese lawyer and president of the
Japanese w. &. Il. T.. made an address
and the forenoon session closed with a
vote of thanks by Miss Julia Ward
Howe.
On the reassembling of the convention
Mrs. Bowse, representing the w. G. ".
L. of British Columbia. moved the World
w c. II. L. convention earnestly re-
quests the board of managers of
the Columbian exposition to
prohibit the sale of Intoxicants
upon the grounds at any time
and to close the exhibition on Sundays.
Lady Henry Somerset moved hat the
same officers be requested to require
purity in art exhibitions. Both resolu-
tons were unanimously adopted by a
rising vote. The election of officers of
the Worlds W.C.T.U. followed. Miss
Frances +. Willard was chosen presi-
dent, Lady Henry Somerset vice presi-
dent at large, Anna Gordon, of Boston,
secretary; Mrs. Williams, Of Canada,
treasurer.
