On Hardships That Would Kill Other

A deerstalker has to put up with great ex-

The Influence of Poetry.

The reading of poetry predisposes the heart
to generous thoughts; it teaches young man
what is noble in mankind; it opens his mind
to the reception of great hopes and unselfish
ambitions. Never again can a man feel that
rapture of spirit which falls upon boy when,
in the dusty atmosphere of library, while the
NOTES dance as the sun pours through the win
dows upon the leather backs of the books, while
outside the carts rumble up and down street,
he sits alone among the books, pouring over a
volume of poetry Then the gates of heaven
lie open for him to gaze within; nay, heaven
itself is close to him, within his reach, and
ready for the whole world should they choose
to step in

MORE ROOM WANTED.
Much Complaint About the Crowded
Condition of the Jail.


Condition of the Jail.
Said jail guard: "For some years past in
the annual reports of the Attorney Generals
office recommendation has been inserted
that new wing be added to the District Jail
for the accommodation of women prisoners,
and that the entire grounds surrounding it be
inclosed by high wall AS is we'll known,
Congress has done nothing in the premises
If prisoner can only manage to get out of
the building he has no trouble in getting away
The Jail is nearly always overcrowded, and
there is pressing need for additional quarters
for the female prisoners. AS the District popu-
lation increases so fast the inadequacy grows
more and more serious. Warden Crocker re-
peatedly reported to the authorities that
the present accommodations were wholly in
adequate considering the number of prisoners
he had to care for,and under the present warden
the same orr worse condition of affairs exist. 1t
is inhuman to crowd prisoners into a building
where insufficient air space is provided. The
prisoners are well fed and kindly treated but
it is out of the power of the warden to give
them the needed room.'

The drink most affected by men about town

gentle stimulant and a not too potent appe-

the feminine palate even, should the physician
think a tonic necessary The Martini is con
coeted of Yermuth-the Martini vermuth at
that-a SOupGoa of gin and dash of orange
bitters. Angostura will not do, orange being
essential to the dainty pale-gold tint of the
drink A bit of lemon peel completes the
mixture.

WASHINGTON, April 7.-[Speciall-
The counterfeit two dollar certificates
heretofore described in these dispatches

Treasury Department. Not more than
twenty of these certificates have come

cept by experts.

A motion to tax bootblacks SIS was
made by Mr.. Huff, but met with an

ROME, April 7.-ISpeciall-At re-
ception given to the college of cardinals
to-day at the vatican, his holiness, tho
pope asked Archbishop Walsh, who
was also present, for news in regard to
the situation of political and religious
affairs in Ireland.

THE SITUATION AT NIT. PLEASANT.
More Men at Work and More Arrests
Made.


Made.
MT. PLEASANT, Pa, April 7.-[Spe-
cial l-Morcwood presented lively ap-
pearance to-day. Fifty new men went
to work this morning, making the
total number at the ovens about one
hundred. There was not the timidity
among workers that there has been
heretofore. Soldiers are still on guard,
but no attempt was made to modest the
men who want to work. even when they
are out of reach of the soldiers.
Tho arrests of yesterday were fol-
lowed by several moro to-day, and it is
expected that by this evening ut least
thlrty-hvo of the rioters will be behind
tho bars. Sheriff C,r.wson evidently
fears trouble where there are no soldiers
as he has stationed deputies at the diff
fercnt works. Something important Is
believed to be on foot to-day, but the
nature Of it is not known.
Master Workman kerfoot, who speaks
different languages, is hard at work this
morning He went down to Spring
Garden and called on every striker
personally. The Hungarians arc keep
ing exceedingly quiet as they fear they
will be arrested. A great deal OF i'll
feeling has been engendered against
Supt. Ramsey over the report that
Frick was going 10 import men. Threats
were made against Ramsey, and this
morning number of strikers gathered
without his residence. Their actions
aroused suspicion and the militia was
called out and the men driven away.
Several shots were fired, but no one was
hurt.
Adjutant General NIcClelland and
General Wiley had consultation this
morning us TO how long tho troops
should remain here General Wiley
seems to be under tho impression that
i'll feeling has about died out and it is
thought the militia will DO withdrawn
i'll few days. Tho report that the
strikers were threatening, to ESQ dyna-
mite on the soldiers does not seclA to
have any foundation in fact. Dis

glon Indicate partial resumption at

The Gillian Revolution Growing

PANAN, MA GALVESTON, April Z.
Especial I-Passengers just arrived by
tho steamer from Valparaiso declare
that The cause'of tho revolutionists is
making progress. They assert that in
the city of Valparaiso the sentiment in
favor OF the dictionary party is be-
coming very strong. 1t was pretty
generally expected that when they left
there on the arrival of tho fleet of troops
now adhuring to Balmaceda, the govern
ment would renounce their allegiance
and go over to the opposition. 1T is
argued that Balmaceda realizes that
his cause is waning from the fact that he
is recruiting his forces from prisons. Re
ports OF tho loss of life and property
resulting from the revolutionary .upris-
ing, which have reached the outside
world, these passengers declalc have
been much exaggerated.
