TWO SONGS.

The sun Is gone from the valleys,
The air breathes fresh and chill,
On the barn roof, yellow with lichen,
A robin Is singing thrill.
Like tAwAy leaf is bis bosom, n
Like a dead leaf Is his wing,
He Is glad Of the coming winter =
As the thrush Is glad Of the spring.
Tho sound Of the shepherds piping
Comes down from distant fold y
Like the ripple Of running water,
Az tunelses and sweet and cold. 70, ~
Tho two songs mingie together, -
Like and unlilte are they,
For ono souads tired and plaintivs
And one rings proud and gay.
They take no thought of their music,
The bird and the shepherd lad,
But the bird voice thrills with rapture
And tho human note Is sad.

ROCK CREEK PARK.

Meeting of the Valuation Committee to Dis
cuss Prices to BE Paid for Land.
The valuation committee of the Rock Creek
Park commission. composed Of r. Ross Perry,
Col. II. NJ. Robert and Capt. VIM. T. Rossell,
met in the private Office Of Col. Robert at the
District building this morning and discussed
the valuations to be offered for the property
taken for the Rock Creek Park. The official
map, showing in detail the property con-
demned, the owners thereof and tho amount
taken, was completed today and will
be placed upon record either this after
noon or Monday. The map shows that
the park includes in all l,957 Is
acres. The surveying commenced October
81 $780, and was finished on the LIST day of
March, 1891. There is a party, however, still
in the field setting boundary stones. The map
also shows that property belonging to seventy
seven persons was taken, the greater amount Of
which came from Pierce Shoemaker, agyrcgat-
ing 245, 408 acres, and the smallest from Louisa
Kuhn, .0O09 of an acre. The surveying has
been under the direct supervision Of Frederick
p. Spalding the engineer in charge of the
work, and the commission is highly gratified ut
the manner in which he has conducted the
work. The official map is nine feet long by
three feet wide, and was prepared by Prof. VIM.

COLORED WOMEN NOT EXCLUDED

An Incident That Has Caused the Resigna-
ton of the Secretary Of wimodaughsis.
Wimodaughsis has had little cloud of trouble
lately, owing to the question raised whether or
not colored women should be admitted TO the
privileges of the classes or the social advan-
tages of the club house. Miss Desha, who has
been largely instrumental in founding and thus
far carrying forward the purposes of the asso-
clatior, decided against the presence of a
young colored woman who desired to attend
the evening classes. When her action
was presented TO the board of directors they
unanimously upheld that Wimodaughsis being
a stockholding corporation and not strictly a
white woman's club they could not refuse to
sell stock to any respectable person, be their
color what it might be. An owner of stock has
all the rights and advantages of tine club ms
classes are only an expediency at pres
emit to help pay the running expenses
The main reason For the existence of the club
Is to erect building for permanent head
quarters for the meetings of women and not TO
provide social headquarters for them That
is a side issue.
When the question came I'D at a meeting Of
the board, a week before the woman's council.
II resulted in the resignation of Miss Desha
from her position as secretary. but in view of
the great interest then at stake. in the unity Of
womans work. the whole business was de-
ferred until another meeting held, this past
week. Miss Desha retains her place on the
board of directors, which will shortly elect her
successor in the secretaryship.
THE VIEWS OF MEMBERS.
Miss Susan b. Anthony and others Of those
prominent in the councils of Wimodauehsis
who were seen this morning expressed ma
terially these views, and saw that the future of
the association is quite as bright as ever and
that the detection of one member will not af-
feet its standing. On the contrary, the pub
licity given it will greatly aid the infant
club in getting more strongly on its feet
As for the race issue at stake. Miss Anthony
says that nobody at first suspected HAT Miss
FANNIE Smith. the person on whom the lire
was drawn, was a colorec woman, as she Is
quite as white and comely as the average white
woman. For the principle in general people
from the north and people from the south are
not likely to argue on il, looking at it as they
do from such different standpoints
