THE BRIGHTER DAY.

When the dreary weather, cold and wet
Produces 'blues' and melancholy,
Look back Ger life and don't forget
That most Of it was bright and jolly. Il
There never was day of rain
But sunshine followed soon thereafter.
And gloomy mood and aching pain
Gave way to health and merry laughter.
The bells Of time
VIII ring their chime
Or mingled joy and sorrow,
Yet the refrain Il,
In hopeful strain
Speaks sweetly for tomorrow.
When clouds Of darkness hang their pail
Before the future you're exploring,
With patience wait for them to fall.
In faith their threatening look ignoring,
Their ''silver lining" soon will show
As fortunes breezes blow them over,
And just beyond rosy glow
>Winight your pathway through the clover
The ringing bells
Have told their knells
And now proclaim with pleasure
A sunny day
That's come to stay,
Filled high with precious treasure.

For some time past Gil K. Osmun of
Detroit has been looking for q news
paper. While on his waw TO the Mus
kegon convention he entered into
negotiations for the purchase of The
Morning Press and yesterday, it is re-
ported, the deal WAS consuiamated
through the agency of George G. Booth

more to rum honorable newspaper
competition than all other agencies

controlling interest is retained by the

will be hailed with pleasure by those
who respect honorable competition; but
It hardly seems probable that

trolled 10y Scripps would be satisfied TO
buy Mr.. Osmun paper to be managed
by somebody else. The announcement
may I've premature, but there IS reason

ATTACKED A NON UNION MAN.
Hzgtlepool Miners Indulge in a Dis
graceful Riot

LosDos, May 9.-There is great ex-
element at Hartlepool over q series of
outrsges by union eolliers. The trouble
began last Saturday and Was caused by
the employment OF q non-unionist
named Stockdale IN the Castsedon col
lieIy. stockdale Was attacked by the
union men as he WAS leaving his TX,
bat the police lnterfered. the rio.ers
hurled shower of stones at them.
A number were badly injured. stock
dale ran 10 MS home. The mob
then rushed 10 the colIiery and smashed
the engine house 10 pieces. TEen they
made a descent upon the piles ef coal,
and every man lngged off as much ss
be could carry. Again and again they
returned. and il is said that they msD-
aged 10 steal 100 tons OF coal. Finally
scme one IN the crowd suggested that
they attack Stockdale's house, and IN
4 very short time 10 Was totally
wrecked. The occupants, however, had
been warned and made their escape.
Another house, IN which resided an
Official OF the nine, WAS set on hre.
Yesterday the mob gathered again and
threatened TO wreck all the upper
works of the colliery. The mine Off
Gals parleyed with the mob, and
finally, by promising TO discharge
Stockdale, induced the miners to cease
nostilit.es. Great Indignation is ex-
pressed at the action OF the mob, and
there is no doubt that the ringlcaders
will be severely punished.

DEFINING TO BE HANGED MAY ss.
The Condemned Man Weaving Fairy
Tales About His Family.

MELBOURNE. May 9.-The execution
of Frederick Bailey Deeming, the con-
victed murderer, was today set down
for May 23. Deeming is kept in irons
to prevent him from injuring himself
ana others, for he is at times very
savage, while in his best mood he Is
forbidding and morose. He is re-
ported as saying that his mother
predicted that he would be
hanged before he reached the age uf
40. With regard TO his family history,
he saws that MS fathers mind was un-
hinged; that he was ef a very violent
temperament, and that he died IN a
lunsuc asylum at Birkenhead. His
mother he describes as good and kind
but she also was confined In Il iuratic
asylum until shortly before the pris-
oners birth. His brother Sam, he also
asserts, was likewise csniined In a luna
tic asylum, but this fact was only
known 10 his other brother, Albert.
When IN England last year. the pris-
oner declares, he vainly endeavored TO
ascertain the whereabouts of his
brother Sam. He has sister who is
employed as bousemald at New
Brighton, near Liverpool. and another
who "is not right in her head"
Deeming has also gwen information as
TO some serious family trouble which
he says occurred between 1880 and
1881. These stories, however, are en-
phatically denied by persons who know
the Deeming family. and who say that,
while never distinguished by special
energy of character, Its members, ex-
ccpt Deeming. were always respectable
and clear-hcadcd. Nobody in Mel.
bourne puts any faith whatever in the
murderer's stories about himself and
others. although IT is believed that the
manuscript which he 10 preparing may
give a substantially correct account of
the tragedies at Rainhili and Windsor.
