have fallen with the touch of a healing
hand. So long as mothers find comfort
and resignation in the thought that they
shall ultimately hear again the pattering
footsteps and sweet voices Of their lost
angels and feel again their soft caresses.
just so long Longfellow viii be the dearly
cherished poet of women who are weary
and are bowed down, because they are be-
reaved, since to them he Is absolutely in
telligible and sympathetic in thought and
expression.
Men of philosophical, metaphysical or
didactic intellect relish Wordsworth, Shell
ley and Browning, but men of outdoor in
tellect and masculine force that live amid
the rush and roar of current everyday
life and the world of affairs, feel the
power and eloquence of Shakespeare, Mil
ton, Burns and Byron as they feel the
poetry of no other names in literature.
They feel it just as they feel the printed
eloquence of Burke, Webster or Gladstone.
This exaltation of the poets of the intel
lectual caste and the closet above the poets
who speak the language of the world and
its forceful people, is like the modern effort
to send the great masters of romantic fic-
ton to the rear and HowelIs and James to
the front, who are about as far from
the great masters they call obsolete
as Moore's Melodies" is from "Childe
Harold" Men of genius, whether in fic-
ton or poetry, never attempt to articulate
human nature, like mere talented literary
anatomists; they handle the human heart
as great master of music sweeps harp;
they are not literary artisans, but artists,
and the world will not drop their broad
paintings of flesh and blood character and
conduct for the chalk-faced, bloodIess
creations of the new school of fic-
ton and poetry; the world don't
drop Burns and Byron for Words
worth or Bryant; the world won't
long drop Dickens, Thackeray, Reade or
George Eliot for the dude fiction of How
ellis or the "dime novel" sentimentalism
of Haggard.
The world knows the difference between
the taste of spring water that bubbles out
CT the sweet bosom of Mother Earth and
the taste of rainwater that is carefully
caught and stored in q cistern; the world
knows the difference between the eagle
fight and skylark song of genius and
the fight and note of light literary talent
posing as genius.

The peculiarly American invention, the
"whaleback," is still to some extent in an ex-
perimental stage, though several brilliantly sue
cessful voyages seem to be putting that stage
farther and farther into the background, says
the New York Tribune Now the question is
under investigation by their inventor, Captain
MacDougall, whether they can be adapted to
naval warfare. He has already applied
some ingenious ideas to the whaleback
barge, for use in coast defense, which,
If they prove to be practical, viii
be of great service. The peculiar construction
of the craft renders it possible to submerge
them by means of water ballast, leaving only
small turret for the lookout and the powerfully
built bow above water. The advantages of
such device in providing for harbor defense
are obvious The whalebsck 10 showing herself
to be great craft, and we shall expect to see
her possibilities all fully exploited.

Cincinnati Oyerpower-d.

CISc1sNAI1, Ono, March 5.-A religious
revival with peculiar features had its culmi-
nation yesterday in a service at Music hall,
morning, afternoon and night, at which the
great structure each time was filled to over
flowing.
Business houses all over the city to the
number of 1900, as reported by the manager
OF the meeting, closed yesterday during the
hours of service.
The movement was arranged for early last
fall, and all the churches of the city united
in carrying out the plans suggested by the
evangelist, Rev. B. Fay Mills. These were
very methodical. involving the districting OF
the city, with preliminary work in each dis
trict.
His plan was to first hold a union meeting
In the largest church in one of the districts,
excluding from it all persons not living in
that district.
Then he did the same in other districts.
and finally united the whole city in the clos
ing meetings at Music hall.
The result has been crowded houses at
most all of the meetings. The number of
persons who at these meetings signitied a de-
sire to become Christians is now asserted to
be over Zoo.

DR.. Gerhardus Vos, at present professor in
the theological seminary at Grand Rapids,
Mich, was unanimously called to the new
chair of Biblical theology, which was created
year ago. A unanimous call was also ex-
tended to Rev. George T. Purvis, D. D., of
Pittsburg, to the chair of New Testament lit
erature and Greek exegisis, left vacant by the
recent death of DR.. Caspar WIstar Hodge.
He declined a call to the chair of church his
tory in Princeton seminary two years ago,
and the recent offer of the pastorate of Dr..
Howard Crosby's church in New York, but it
is generally believed that he will accept the
present call at Princeton. The chair recently
left vacant by the death of DR.. Charles Aiken
was not filled, but a committee was appointed
to report on his successor at the regular
meeting next Nav.

Rock Island FlOcks All Alone,

KANSAS CITY, No., March 5.-The Kansas
freight question was taken up by the Trans
Missouri Freight association, and the Rock
Island proposed a resolution stating that in
asmuch as the Kansas commissioners had
ordered reduction in fifth class or car load
rates from the Missouri river to Kansas
wholesale points, it was due the commercial
interests of Missouri river points that, in OF
der to preserve proper diferentials, a cores
ponding reduction should be made in fourth
class, or less than car load rates. This prop
csition was voted down, the Rock Island and
Memphis being the only roads voting for it.
Then the Rock Island proposed that COM
mittee be appointed to consider the matter
of fourth class rates. That was also de-
feated.
Then proposition was placed before the
meeting to reduce the fifth class rates in ac-
cordance with the last order of the Kansas
commissioners. The Rock Island voted
against the proposition and defeated it. All
the other roads voted in favor of it.
The Rock Island gave notice that It would
never vote to reduce the fifth-class rate while
a similar reduction should be made in the
fourth class.
The meeting then adjourned sine die.
The action of the meeting on Kansas rates
leaves the situation as complicated as ever.
All roads, excepting the Rock Island, will
put the commissioners orders into effect in
spite of to-day's action, and then the Rock
Island will be forced to do the same. In the
mean time it will resist the order of the
courts.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 9.-Az effort IL

favored parts of the United States the pure
breed of the Angora goat, the hair of which
makes the finest mohair used in ladies' dress
fabrics. The Turkish government guards
sedulously its monopoly of the industry Of
raising fine mohair, and by an edict of tho
sultan the expectation of the wool bearing
Angora goat from Turkish dominions to an
other part of the globe is forbidden.
There are some species of the Ansora goat
IN this country. but none (or at least very
few. if any of the pure breed Represents

Current Topics at the Seat of
Government.
Rivers and Harbors-Meat Inspection Ap-
preparation Gone-Amendment Of Con-
stitution Changing Terms Of Con-
gress and Executive.

WASHINGTON. D. c., March 4.-The river
and harbor appropriation bill is beginning to
take definite shape, considerable progress
having been made by the house committee in
its preparation. The consideration of the
bill has gone far enough to show that the to-
tai appropriations will DE considerably larger
than has been anticipated. While the ma
jority of the members of the committee are
in accord with the general policy of the house,
of keeping down expenditures, the southern
members do not believe the river and harbor
bill should be cut to a very much greater ex-
tent than other bills.
Secretary Rusk and Dr.. Salmon, chief of
1nent of agriculture, urged upon the COM
mittee on agriculture the necessity OF the I'M
mediate appropriation of $1JO, 900 to execute
the meat Inspection law during the remainder
OF the fiscal year. The money available for
this purpose, they said, is about exhausted,
and the work of inspection under the law
would have to be discontinued if more money
was no appropriated.

Assume to Settle Everything.

CHICAGO. March 4.-When the managers
of the Western Traffic association reconvened
the trouble over the sugar rates to Kansas
points was quickly settled.
The Atchison and Rock Island. the only
lines that held out against Chairman Ridg-
ley's ruling. agreed to withdraw their unau-
thorized tariffs. and a brief resolution to that
effect was adopted, being all that was de-
manded by the complaining roads east of the
Missouri. and they were satisfied. 1t does
not matter to them what the outcome of the
fight between the Kansas lines and the Kan
sas railroad commissioners NAV be. They
have refused to bear any portion of the bur-
den imposed upon the Kansas lines by the
state authorities and there their interest ends.
A meeting of the Trans Missouri associa-
ltion will be held at Kansas City, when it will
he decided whether the original order of the
commissioners. reducing fifth class rates in
Kansas shall be obeyed or contested.

POaching Must be stopped.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March S.-The fact
that Lord Salisbury has declined on behalf
of Great Britain, to renew the modus viven-
di As regards seal fishing in the Behring sea,
has attracted the attention not only of the
general public, but also of owners of fishing
vessels, and the latter. allured by the promise
OF large profits from seal taking in northern
waters are making preparations for moving
toward the Behring sea in such numbers as
to warrant the belief that unless the move
ment is promptly and vigorously checked,
the seal rookeries will be completely depopu-
lated.
Such members of the foreign relations
committee as are conversant with the subject
are of the opinion that the United States
cannot permit this organized system OF
poachinS to be resumed, and that failing IN
an effort to secure renewal of the modus
vivendi, the government will proceed as soon
as the season opens, to police the waters OF
Behring sea with powerful and effective
fleet. and seize all poaching vessels, regard

Pension Claims Must he Taken in ReTu-
lar Order.

Pension Claims Must he Taken in Rexu-
lar Order.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March S.-Secretary
Noble has sent to Commissioner Raum
letter upon the subject of giving pref
erences in the adjudication of pension
claims. The letter is one of series which
have passed between the Secretary and Com
missioner Raum. The series opened with Q
letter from the secretary to the commission
er stating that complaints were coming into
the department of partiality in the examin-
alton and final disposition of claims. In reply
commissioner Raum stated the rule was. in
drawing cases from the files for examin alton,
to draw from the completed files, according
to the dates of their filing. This rule how
ever. he seid, was continually broken through
the courtesy which is extended to members
Of congress who call for the status of cases.
When the papers IN cases called for by con-
gresSinen were returned and were found to
De complete. they were placed on an exam
lner's desk to prevent second handling Of
the papers, and were soon disposed of there
after, while other completed cases fled be-
fore them were obliged to wait their proper
tura.
Secretary Mobiles letter was in reply to
this letter of Secretary Raum. The secretary
says when papers in completed cases are re-
turned by the congressman. they should be
placed back in the file in regular order and
not on the examiners desk. so that each case
may take its proper turn in examination.
The secretary says the commissioners reason
for not SO returning the papers to tie files is
insufficient and without justification, and
urges strict compliance with the rule requir-
ing each case to come up in proper order.
