HOMESTEAD, Oct. 6.-The mill fence,
or as it is known here, the Palisade to
Fort Frick, has been torn down by work
men from the Carnegie firm. and the
outer mill yard from the restaurant TO
the company's stores is open. The COM
pany officials say that the reason for tear
ing down the fence is that so far as they
are concerned the strike is practically
over, and they desire operations to con-
tinue just as they did in May. The
locked out men look upon it as tacit
invitation to return to work.

LORD TENNYsoN's CAREER.
His Poetic Writings Date from the
Days of His Boyhood.


His Poetic Writings Date from the
Days of His Boyhood.
"There is a place called Somerby IN
Lincolnshire where an old white rectory
stands on the slope of hill, and the
winding lanes are Swallowed by tall ash
and elm trees, and where two brooks
meet at the bottom of the glebe field.
The wind that goes blowing
where it listeth, once in the early begin
ming of this century came sweeping
through the garden of this old Lincoln
shire rectory, and as the wind blew a
sturdy child of years old with shining
locks stood opening his arms upon the
blast and letting himself be blown along,
and as he travelled along he made his
first line of poetry, and, said, i hear
voice that's speaking in the wind and
he tossed his arms, and the gust whirled
on, sweeping into the great abyss of
winds.n
In such poetic fashion does Anne T,
Ritchie, in an article written half a
dozen years ago III Harper's Magazine,
refer TO the childhood OF the poet laureate,
Alfred Tennyson, the germ Of fancy flash
ing from within him at this tender age.
1t was at this Somerhy, where his father

England, that Tennyson was born in
1909. Here i'll the quiet of country
place-and there was nothing but the
numbering English coach to connect it
with the outer world the child grew up
among
The woods that belt the gray hillside,
The seven elms, the poplHrs four
That stand beside my fathers door,
And chiefly from the brook that loves
10 nurl a M tad nd rihhed Sanh
Or dimple In the dark OF ashy coycs.
II was quite natural that the dainty
bits of Engliah scenery should have been
indelibly impressed upon TennysoHs
mind and that throughout long life
devoted to the poetic art he should have
painted them in so many charming word
pictures.
Tennyson's first written poem was, it
Is said, on the flowers in the garden, and
the first money he ever received for
poem was for an clegy on his grand
mother. The prize for his production
was ten shillings, given him by his
grandfather Thomson was then
avorite poet and the boy modelled hiI
first verses upon 1.-The Seasons" but
Byron was the great rising luminary,
and the youngster, who had net yet gene
so far as to write in a style of his own,
left off copying Thomson and began to
copy Byron. When Byron died Tenny-
son was yet only is years old, and it is
not apparent that the younger bard ever
admired any other poet so much as to
initiate him; besides, he was growing
into his own individuality
At 90 he gained a brize at Cambridge
for poem called "Timbuctoo." With
some trining exceptions he published
nothing until he became of age, in 1880,
when hs got out volume Of Poems,

At 6 o'clock The gardener came ont and
fastened with stout rope the rustic gate
Mt the front entrance to the grounds and
tied basket to the latch. He explained
that Tennyfon was very near death and
the family wished to secure perfect
quiet by the exclusion of all visitors
from the grounds. The basket was for
the cards of friends or admirers who
might come for the last news of the
poets condition, At o'clock the bull
letin announced that Tennysons condi-
tion had shown no marked change. He
was extremely weak. The bulletin was
fastened to the rustic gate for the in
formation of persons who might como
later At 9 o'clock in the afternoon
bulletin posted on the gate announced
that Tennyson could last but few
hours.
Calmly Waiting the End.
Shortly after o'clock Lady Clark left
the house and took carriage to be
driven to London. At the entrance Of
the grounds she stopped to answer some
inquiries of reporters and group of
men and women who had gone to watch
ont the night before the house of the
dying man. She said that all hope was
gone. Tennyson's mind was unclouded
and he knew that his remaining hours
were few. He had talked TRANQUILITY Of
his death with his wife and his son Hal
lam. He seemed to be perfectly happy
and free from pain. Lady Clark spoke
with tears as she told of the scene at the
bedside.
Hundreds of kilograms and letters Of
: inquiry, coincidence and sympathy were
from Haslemere, They came
by scores from all parts of Great Britain
and the continent, and the man servant
was kept busy receiving and delivering
them at the door.
Toward evening most of the watchers
went to Haslemere or London, leaving
only the reporters at the gate1 At night
fall the windows of Aldworth were
lighted, and the large bow window op-
posite the terrace steps was thrown
open. Those outside thought that the
poet was dead, but this impression was
corrected by the bulletin shortly after 8
o'clock.
DR.. Dabbs says that Tennysons acute
Illness began on Sept. 81. He was chilled
while driving, and the severe cold which
he thon caught developed rapidly into
Influenza.
Tennyson's illness has produced re-
markable interest in his personality
among the people of the rural district
where he has lived for twenty years
almost unobserved by them Except
Professor Tyndall, who lives at Hind
head, and few of the poets wealthier
neighbors, the people heretofore have
paid little attention to his coming and
going Today, however, even the sim
plest of his neighbolS have made pill
grimages to Aldworth to gather meagre
bits of information of the poets last
hours.

THE VENEZUELAN WAR.
The Long Struggle Said to be
Nearing the End.
THE REVoLUTIoNIsTs WILL WIN.

A Decisive Battle May be Looked
for Next Week, and 1t Is Believed
the Government Forces VIII be
Forced to Yield. 49,. 5-.
New YORK, Oct. 6.-The steamer
Venezuela. which arrived from La
Guayra yesterday afternoon, brought the
latest news from the Venezuelan revolu.
ton As affairs stand now the long
struggle is nearing an end, and will re-
suit in the overthrow of the government
which has made such persistent fight.
According to the reports General CO.
limo, with force of 5000 men, joined
General Crespo, fhe revolutionist leader,
at Valencia on Sunday, Sept. %. This,
the report says, made Crespo's force
numbers about IL, 900 men. On Monday,
Sept. 26, General Crespo started his
forces for Caracas. A portion of his ad-
vance guard arrived at La Victoria on
Sept. %. Crespo is advancing his forces
upon Caracas by different routes. They
all expect to meet in Caracas. The
march from Valencia would occupy from
twelve to fifteen days, provided there is
no interruption. At Las Peques the rev.
olutionists will fight their decisive bat
tie Las Peques is the best fortified
place that the government holds, and
General Polido is there with 5000 SOL
diers. 1t will be necessary for Crespo to
take this point before he can enter Ca
racas. Once he is in possession of Las
Peques his entrance into Caracas will be
an easy matter.
A Revolutionist Defeat.
On Sept. 2s there was battle between
the revolutionists and government troops
at place called Macuto, which is just
outside of LaGuyara, and the revolu-
tionists were defeated. Each side had
about G,000 men. The revolutionist
troops were approaching the town of
Latiuayra when the government troops
opened fire upon them from the noun
tain, and from the advantage of their
position succeeded i'll putting the revolu-
tionists to flight.
All those who can are leaving Caracas,
and in order to do so must obtain the
permission of the highest officials in
power.
1t was reported that the steamship
Venezuela had some difficulty with the
customs house authorities, but Captain
Chambers and the purser would neither
corroborate OF deny the report.
