ONLY1 WOMAN.

Christian IntelifJemcer.
Only "A woman shivering and old
The prey OF the winds anu the prey OF the
cold!
Cheeks that are shrunken,
Eyes that are sunken,
Lips thnt were never DER bold.
ONLY "a woman. fOrsaken ana poor,
Asking for aims at the bronze ehurcn door.
Hark To the organ roll upon roll
The waves OF Its music go over the soul!
Silks rustic past her
Faster and faster
The great bell ceases Its toll
fain wou d she enter, but not for the poor,
Swingeth wide open the bronze church door
Only a woman. wailing alone.
lciiy cold on an ice-cold stone,
What do they care for herr
Mumbling n prayer for her
Giving not bread. but a stone.
Under rich laces their naughty hearts beat
Mocking the woes OF their kin In the street q
Only a woman. In the old days
Hone caroied TO her the happiest lays;
Somebody missed her;
Somcbo ~ kissed her;
Somebody crowned her with praise;
Somebody faced out the battle OF life
strong for her sake who was mother and wife
Somebody lies with tress OF her hair
Light on his heart, where the death shadows
are.
Somebody waits for her
Open NJ the gates for her.
Giylnt acl ght for despair;

sia to the Hessians who foil while defending
Frankfurt when it was attacked by the
French. We are on our way 10 a little sort
OF temple built by Mr.. Bethmap TO hold
IN the world.
This little temple is round lighted from
the tor, and entering IL we find, IN plaster
lac similes OF many of the gems of ancisah
art
AT one side hangs heavy curtain. and a
courteous attendant invites us to stop inside
the incosure IL screens.
The sight that meets our eyes almost takes
away the breath by reason of tho exquisite
beauty Of the statue placed here IL repre-
sents Ariadne upon the back OF panther
The connection OF the goddess with the
panther is that the panther Is represented as
the beast upon which Bacrhus elected to
ride, and A:iadne had been married to Bac-
chus, when he found her abandoned on the
island Naxos.
The statue Is of the most perfectly pure
marble, and the figure OF Ariadne is simply
exquisite. The whole thing turns upon
pivot, so that one may enjoy ii at every
anglo. And, to add 10 its charms, the at.
tendant draws across tho windows in the
roof, through which the light falls upon the
statue a curtain OF deep crimson.
The whole ststue is thus flooded with a
soft, rosy light that gives to the female fig.
ure look almost Of life, and every dainty
curve and delicate outline is brought out In
renewed beauty.
The geological garden at Frankfort is one
OF the largest and finest in Europe
Among other attractions In this garden is
the aquarium, In which are to DO found,
placed so that visitors can enjoy studyisg
them, fish OF all sorts, and many specimcnsr
OF aquatic plants. The most wonderful thing
TO see here is the jelly fsh--as we call it on
the coast-the lowest form of life.

The garden has large building devoted
to the refreshment Of the visitors, wnere
beer, coffee and ices are served
Take it all in all, Frankfort is one of tho
handsomest and most interesting of European
cities. MAE ID FRAZAn

Cowardice of a Great Party.

CHCUUU NEUS.
Adyices from Washington are to the effect
that the democrats in congress will attempt
to deal with the tariff question in new
manner. Instead of preparing a bill COM
prising tariff schedules and free list which
will show what the party desires and what it
would do If IN power, resolution will be
prepared and agreed upon in the democratic
caucus. This resolution will be a declara-
tion of certain general principles OF tariff re-
form rather than a definite and specific
declaration IN regard to each class Of manu-
factured goods and raw materials. n
The plan has the brand of cowardice and
treachery on it's face.

PRINCE GEORGE will be forced into
matrimony no matter how fondly he may
cling to his bachelor habits. The people
OF Eagland can't boar the thought of the
duke OF Fife as prince consort. His blue
blood has strain of the stage in it, and
therefore the good people of England
are prejudiced against HIM. The mater
nal ancestor from whom he traces his
royal lineage was famous actress whom
William ~. admired. There Is no help

Hope for Reciprocity.

MONTREAL, Jan. 3l.-A cablegram TO the
Star from the London correspondent says I,
1t is stated here that the negotiations for a
restricted reciprocity treaty between Canada
and the United States are to be resumed in
about "a fortnight
Newfoundland Is urging upon the colonial
office that 1t Is very necessary that her treaty
with the United States should pass the
United States senate before March 4, but the
colonial Office still objects to divide the tra-
ditional unity of its policy regarding the
Atlantic fisheries. Some officials here stll
hope for way out OF the diiiiculty by a gen.
eral reciprocity treaty between the United
States and all British North America. High
Cana iian authorities here however, do not
disguise their belief that the negotiations, If
resumed. are hardly likely to succeed.

A DIRECT CHALLENGE.


The action of a number OF prominent
Cleveland democrats of New York in
publicly protesting against the call for
the meeting in February of the demo-
cratic state convention TO select dele
gates TO the national convention, is a di :
rect challenge to the Hill-Tammanv
combine. The number OF persons who
thus sgnified their revolt against Hill
ism was not very large, but it was u
select company and very earnest, as the
resolutions attest. These declare that
the action of the state committee is un-
democratic and unprecedented, and that
the convention cannot be fairly and
truly representative Of the democratic
sentiment of the state. Democrats who
sympathize with this vie are therefore
invited to meet and decide upon the nec-
essary measures to secure the best inter-
ests of the democratic party.
This meeting will be regarded with a
great deal of interest in political circles
throughout the country for the indica~
tion it will give to the strength of the
Cleveland forces in New York 1t is to
organs outside of that state have quite
generally condemned the action of the
state committee it has been approved or
accepted by the most influential demo-
cratic papers in New York. This is u
pretty safe index to the situation but
still the friends of Mr. Cleveland may
be able to rally in such strength as to
show that he yet has a formidable fol-
lowing. AS to Hill and the men who
obey his orders, it is not to be doubted
that they expected revolt, and conse-
quently are fully prepared TO meet and
overwh elm it. r:
They knew exactly what they were
doing when they called the convention
and they know equally we'll what will
be done when the convention meets, and
they are not to be turned from their
plan by the charge that their course Is
undemocratic and unprecedented. They
do not acknowledge any other authority
than their own to decide what is and
what Is not democratic, and they have
no respect for precedents. Why, in
deed, have they not the same right as
their predecessors to make precedent u
Why should Hill and Croker be ex-
pected to regard any rule or practice of
the past which may have been entirely
expedient then but would endanger their
present purpose2 'They have given over
the state of New York to the democracy
by methods that had little regard for
what is democratic or just and they are
not the men to hesitate at anything
until they have played their game to
the end.
The revolt will amount to nothing
except to intensity the antagonism and
widen the breach between the Cleveland
aud Hill factions in New York. 1t will
not disturb the plans of the dominant
element in the democratic party of New
York. The convention called for Febru-
airy % will meet at the appointed time
and it will select a delegation to the
national convention at Chicago which
will be controlled by David Bennett
Hill.

THERE is bill before the senate COM
mittee on judiciary to amend the section
OF the revised statutes in regard to the
obligations of witnesses to testify. 1t
will be remembered that the supreme
court, in its decision in the Counselman
case, held that this section does not
afford adequate protection to witness,
for the reason that it is not as broad as
the constitutional provision that no per-
son shall be compelled in any criminal
case to be witness against himself. The
proposed amendment to the statute pro-
vides that mo person shall be excused
from testifying in any criminal case or
proceeding on the ground or for the rea-
son that his testimony might tend to
person shall not be prosecuted or SUBJ
jected to any penalty or forfeiture for or
on account of any transaction, matter or
thing concerning which he may thus
testify: provided, that this section shall
not exempt any party or witness from
prosecution and punishment for perjury
committed in discovering Or testifying
as aforesaid" This appears to be suf-
ficiently comprehensive to afford the
protection suggested by the supreme
court as necessary to comply with the
constitutional provision, and if so re-
garded by congress the prompt passage
of the bill is probable. II has been gen.
orally recognized that the effect OF the
Counselman decision was to practically
destroy the power of the interstate COM
merce commission to enforce the law,
and the supreme court pointed out the
remedy, which the proposed amendment
of the statute is intended to provide. 1t
is therefore important that it be adopted
with as little delay as possible.
