HOW 1 WOULD DIE.

Elizabeth worthington Fiske in Evangelist
When shall come to die,
Let me not pining lie,
haunting anguish to the eyes of love
Till this fair robing skin
shall show the form within,
AZ DER measer hand a ught-drawn glove:
While by my couch shall stand
Death, Pain, on either hand,
Each cycling each, each gazing ON me too,
And Pain say, Patience still!
When have brought my will,
Then VIII biithe deliver this to YOU"
That they who love me most,
When flies my weary ghost,
Long-drawn and fine with torments of the flesh.
Shall say, THANK GodI at last
Her agony is past!
NOW may We gather heart and hope afresh."
Nor would linger late
In bleak. half-twilight state
how should this Passionate soul with age
May earth smile sweet and fair.
May many friends be there,
To sight my bark when put out to sea
Let me not sudden pass,
To dash the jocund glass
From lips love, that soon shall shuddering
"ln what van. awful guise
Sped she before our eyes.
Thus shall she stand Beside us night and day."
would not that the sea
Chant requiem Tor me-
NOR lose the dark streams flow in oceans roar;
Confused mid pillows gray,
Ny soul might lose its way
And struggle long to reach the happy shore;
Nor, straying in my sleep,
Push wide the gates that keep
The realm unseen. and pass with footsteps light;
Then, ike wandering child,
Abashed, in wonder wild,
Gaze at the angel faces clear in sight
But as some sweet day ends
In Joy, with gentle friends.
iwoulo lean on the heart love the best,
And say, GOOD night, my dear"
Then softly, without fear
Pass fro In tina, clasp TO my immortal rest

THE UNROPED ARENA.

Some very shaky places are appearing In
Brother Lewis gubernatorial fences. The anti
Lewis people are apparently getting together
| and agreeing on programme, and the indica-
| tions are that Mr.. Lewis has about four months
| of lively hustling before him If he proposes to
| capture that nomination.
There will probably be no opposition In the
Vancouver convention to the selection of John
Collins and Colonel C. W. Griggs as delegates to
Chicago. The other six places still remain to
be fought for, and there are plenty of am.
bilious Democrats who want them, the scrim-
mage will probably be a lively one.
Joe Kuhn, the Democratic war horse who has
paved the Jefferson county turf for so MANY
years. declares that he does not desire to attend
the approaching Democratic national conven-
ton. This is new departure, for joseph has
been delegate to so many conventions that he
has lost count of them. 1t not known whether
he desires to retain his position on the Demo.

If the Democrats lose any Of these states,
except Connecticut or West Virginia. they
could not win; II they lost both the small
states named they would fail in the cleo
ton. On the other hand, the vote of In
diana alone would give the Republicans q
majority of seven in the electoral college.
Harrison is probably not as strong in
Indiana as he was four years ago. when he
secured a large share of the Democrat sol
necticut by the very small majority of 1886,
and West Virginia by $40 for Cleveland in
1883, while Virginia gave the Democracy
but 1.5OO majority four years ago. 1t is
possible under this estimate for the Re-
publicans to elect their candidate without
New York, while the Democrats are beaten
by the loss Of New York. If the Demo-
Gratis lost New York and carried every
other doubtful state, with Massachusetts,
and Iowa, they could only produce tie
in the electoral college.
The vote of Indiana alone added to the
Republican states enumerated above will
assure Republican success even if Mon
tana, which is claimed by the Democrats,
is lost by the Republicans. These are the
figures, but they are, in our judgment,
misleading to this extent, that the state of
public opinion which results in the loss of
New York to either party will probably
mean the loss of the other doubtful states
to that party. 1t is possible for the Repub-
licans to win without New York, but not
probable that they will do so.
1.-THE Democrats carry New York with
its strong element of protectionists and
anti-free silver Democrats. who usually
vote the Republican ticket presidential
year, the Democrats are more than
likely to carry Indiana, Connecticut, Vir-
ginia and West Virginia The battle
ground will be New York.

RrronM IN LARGE DOSES.

A number OF police officers against whom
NO charges had been made were dropped
from the forcs by the police commission
1t it, meeting on Monday evening, and
three new names were added to the roll.
These were Henry Sheahan, A. M. Kent
and Ben Stretch. All Of them have pre-
viously served on the force.
Henry 6heahan was . captain under
Chief Monroe. He was subjected 70 grave
public censure for standing idly by and
permitting the building of a track across
Columbia street at dead of night. He was
suspended from duty and reduced to the
ranks for misrepresenting to his superior
officer the facts connected with the escape
Of prisoner from the city jail. Hefinally
resigned from the force with charges Of
theft pending against him before the po-
lice commission. 1t is notable that Officer
Fabyan, who made the charge of theft
against Sheahan, was one of those re-
moved from the force on Monday evening.
A. II. Kent was also captain. He was
reduced TO the ranks and was afterwards

was custodian of the police relief fund,
and upon leaving the force refused to sur
vender the money intrusted to him in this
capacity. The amount of this fund was
about $500. and Kent has never re-
paid q penny of it although frequent
demands have been made upon him.
At meeting of the Police Relief Asso-
citation his attitude in this matter was
denounced by . unanimous vote.
Ben Stretch was formerly jailer. He
was suspended because of neglect in per-
uniting the escape of John Connors, des-
perate criminal He soon after left the
force.
1t may be asked why officers against
whom no charge of any kind has been
made should be dropped to make place for
these worthless. The answer is not diff.

The Hungry Adiutants.

The following occurred at the Chinsurrah
barracks when the old Twenty ninth regi-
ment was quartered there. The soldiers,
after their dinner, got two marrow bones
and tied them together with stout string
about twenty yards long. The marrow
bones were then thrown out separately TO
two expectant adjutants. One bird seized
and swallowed one bone, and the other
bird caught and got outside of the other
bone.
The two birds then few up toward Their
usual perches on the barrack roof, but as
they flew apart the string frightened, and
as they pulled against one another and
neither would part with his bone, they
finally came Topping to the ground, to The
great edifcation Of the soldiers. When the
two birds were on the ground there was 8
severe tug Of war between them, until al
last the string broke and each of then
flew of triumphantly to digest the bon'
and the yards Of string attached to it at III

A faithful observance Of the following
hints on the care of the teeth is earnestly
advised
Cleanliness is Of absolute Importance in
the care Of the teeth, and its neglect can
not be remedied by dental skill
Thoroughly cleanse the teeth each night
before retiring and on rising in the morn
ing Never neglect the first if you do the
last
The articles necessary to accomplish this
are the toothbrush, pick and silk or linen
floss, together with a good dentifrice.
The brush, TO do its work well, should be
given an upward motion on the lower and
downward motion on the upper teeth, as
well as backward and forward, and no por
ton Of any tooth should escape its action.
A well trimmed quill pick should be
used especially after eating.
Children's teeth should be cleansed daily
| by some competent person from the time
/ they begin to eat solid food.
| For tartar, irregularity. decay, discolora
/ ton and other special conditions consult &
competent dentist
/ Compliance with these suggestions moi
only improves the appearance of the teeth
but it will diminish the necessity for denta
operations. R G. Cornwell d d. s., il

Youths who Have Been Hanged.

Sir Matthew Hale gives two instances
where the death penalty was eXacted be
fore puberty. One case was that OF a girl
Of thirteen. who was burned for killing her
mistress, and the other was that Of a boy
of ten, who was hanged for killing his
companion. Blackstone gives an instance
in the last century where boy Of eight
years old was tried at Abingdon for firing
two barns, and it appearing that he had
malice, revenge and cunning, he was found
guilty. condemned and hanged accord
ingly
In more modern times boy Of ten was
convicted on his own confession Of murder
ing his bedfellow, there appearing in his
whole behavior plain tokens Of mischiev-
Gus discretion. According to the law of
England, in order that an act may be Grim
inal it must be done by person Of compe-
tent age. Blackstone says that infants
under the age Of discretion ought not to
