The lately organized legislative "
ceum has concluded that open meetings
are deluslon and a snare. The meet
ing was intended to give Alliance legls-
lators a chance to get better acquainted
with each other, and decide upon the
most advisable form of legislation. Inc
actual effect has been that outsiders
come in, and by specious argument at
tempt to show the farmers the utter
futility of any remedial legislation For
this reason the meetings will hereafter
be open only TO Alliance legislators and
members of the Alliance and State Fed
Grafton who are friendly to proposed re-
form legislation.

for practical aid and sympathy than

tronomer, says the Louisville Courier
Journal. Mrs. Draper, sister of Court

graces of mind and heart. During his
lifetime Mrs. Draper was her husbands
valued assistant in all his astronomical
experiments and researches. She en-
tered with ardor into the science he
loved, and became an expert in using
the delicate instruments employed in the
observatory. At his death she paid the
most fitting tribute possible to his mem

The board of managers of the Labor
Temple have held several meetings
during the past week to devise plans for
the placing of the temple on sound
financial basis. S. G, Gomez has been
selected to canvass the city for the pur-
pose of disposing of enough stock to tide
the association over its present difficulty.
Manager Hilton has placed the Pence
opera house at the disposal OF the
board, and arrangements have been
made to give series OF ten perform
ances, commencing Feb. 9. An enter
tainining programme will be provided
for each performance, and the asSocia-
ton will receive so per cent of the
money so realized. Several other plans
have also been discussed, including that
of inducing the labor organizations to
raise a large fund. 1t is also intended
to give an entertainment some time in
April, which will include some of the
best local talent in the city.
The Nationalist will hold their regu-
lar meeting at the Labor Temple Mon

Income and Legacy Tax" The usual
discussion will follow.

the Labor Temple Monday evening.
The trades and labor assembly will
hold Its regular meeting Friday even

resolutions are being prepared on the
market franchise question, as there is

AN EIDoLoN OF LOVE.
src1L1AN ocTAyEs


NV love that lived little while ago,
Sweet woman with the arms of ivory
There is little island that know,
Mid of q strait, q sea-flower in the sea.
Some day unto that island will go,
Taxing remembrance OF the past with me :;
There like nurtured child shall memory
grow
Until it shall appear Loves self to be.
1t shall be all you were not and you were
With your large eyes and your beguiling
grace.
Your speech upon its tender mouth astir,
Your tint to make a rose leaf OF its face.
If to recall me from content with her,
You cross the swift sea currents that enlace
Mine island-I will answer: prefer
The memory faithful in the false loves
place.

HER ROOM.

A still, sweet atmosphere that seems
To favor most poetic dreams;
The scent of yiolets half asleep
In April forests cool and deep;
A delicate and graceful bent
OF maiden fancy evident
In fall of drapery, and in hue
Soft chosen, where the light shines through
And all chaste thoughts made manifest,
And youths delicious hopes expressed
In this dear room. wherein are seen
The pureness of her days serene,
And meath its snowy curtains spread
The sacred wilderness of her bed.

dispatch from Teheran giving many in

very courteousy paid by his Imperial
Majesty, the Shah of Persia, to the resi-

that capital. His Majesty eylnced the

housekeeping"
The first artesian we'll ever drilled in
Persia was being sunk OF the premises,
and had reached the depth of 200 feet

Cupid Concealed in an Egg.

Philadelphia Enquirer.
A proposal came to pretty Maine
school teacher IN very novel manner.
While at her fathers home in Sidney, a
few years ago, she wrote her name and
address upon an egg, which she had
secured in all its warm freshness from
the maternal nest. The egg went to
market. and the fact that it bore an in
scription was forgotten. In the course
of weeks letter came to the school
mann, and to her amazement she
learned that that particular egg had
Matched strange results. The son of a
big commission merchant in q Massa-
chusetts city had seen the name and
had written to say that "if the young
lady was as pretty as her name he would
like to form more intimate acquaint-
ance." With the characteristic modesty
of the Maine schoolma'm our heroine
discouraged the advances of the
strangely admirer. However.
ne was persistent, and came down to
Maine. 1t is to be supposed that he
found his ideal. for an engagement and
wedding followed in quick succession.
