 Rich heritage from ages past,
 Hold sweet communion, soul with soul, On things now past, or present, or to come, Or muse alone upon my earlier days,
 Unbiud the scroll, whereon is writ
 The story of my busy life; Mistakes to often, but successes more. And consciousness of duty done. It is to see with laughing eyes the play or children sporting on the lawn,
 Or mark the eager strifes of men
 And nations, seeking each and all,
 Belize advantage to obtain
 Above their fellows; such is mani It is to feel the pulses quicken, as hear Of great events near or afar,
 Whereon may turn perchance The fate of generations, ages hence. It is to rest with folded arms betimes,
 And so surrounded, so sustained,
 Ponder on what may yet befall
 In that unknown mysterious realm Which lies beyond the range of mortal ken, Where souls immortal do forever dwell; Think of the loved ones who await me there, And without murmuring or inward grief, With mind unbroken and DO foar, Calmly await the coming of the Lord.

THE ARGUMENTS,

The aldermen decided not to render their verdict in the Big Four case last evening. This action, as we understand it, was not in accordance with the pro gramme of the Big Four, whose hope was to bring the matter to an end last night.
 The case in behalf of the citizens has been ably conducted in the presenta- tion and examination of witnesses, and it did not suffer in the final arguments. Attorney White made the opening argument, and it was very clear, strong and logical. He showed plainly the absurdity and wickedness of the claim that the accused had the right to use their power against the interests of the community, and he showed as plainly that they had so used it. And he also showed tn 1t they had violated the charter in the appointment of Alderman Kelly to an office which the charter expressly says shall not be filled by member of the city gov ernment. Very consistently particular about the charter in some cases is the Big Four.
 Attorney Stoddard powerfully laid be- fore the aldermen their duty. His argu- ment was lofty in tone and sound in req soning. He pointed out to the aldermen that the people are looking to them to con- demn the abuse of power of which the Big Four has been guilty, and he correct ly estimated the tactics and arguments of the defense.
 The counsel for the Big Four made the best of a bad cause. Attorney Doolittle took the bull by the horns, with his ususl audacity, and looked upon the Big Four's performance as political episode of 8 natural and somewhat humorous nature. He didn't seem able to see that anybody had any call to spoil such sport
 Attorney Daley made sensation by as- serting that ex-Clerk Waldron had made alterations in his own favor in the records of the board of public works. This charge will not be believed without absolute and legal proof. It is not reasonable.
 Attorney Hamilton took an even more humorous view of the serious charge against the Big Four than Attorney Doo- little did. He did his best to obscure the real issue.
 The adjournment until Monday and the decision to take yea and nay vote in open session was much against the wishes of the Big Four and its defenders. The peo- pie want to see how their representatives vote, and they will now have @ chance to. We doubt that some of these representa- tives realize how their action is going to be looked at.

Many a life has been lost because of the taste of cod liver oil.
 If Scott's Emulsion did nothing more than take that taste away, it would save the lives of some at least of those that put off too long the means of recovery.

A COMiCAl SIGHT.
A Man OH the Streets Dressed in Woman's
Clothes.

AS the reporter passed by Reams'
warehouse this morning our eyes fell
upon rather a comical sight.
Several loads of tobacco had been
driven under the shed and near ore Of tie
wagons stood a person who presented
rather a rough appearance, to be called
feminine. Upon closer observation we
could see that the razor had been used
upon the face. and the features were ex-
actly those of a man.
The comical figure had the appearance
of man of about 25 or % years of age.
The dress was rather short to be worn
by fully grown woman, lacking, proba-
bly,, six inches of touching the ground
The only attraction was that of curiosity,
not of admiration, for there was nothing
prepossessing about the party.

COLUMBUS DAY.
Some Thoughts Suggested by a Citizen
Concerning Columbus Day.

Concerning Columbus Day.
On Friday, the 21st inst, there will be
commemoration throughout the coun.
try, of the above event, although the dis.
covery was actually on the 18th of Octo.
Der. The 21st has doubtless been chosen
because of the change in the calendar
from "old style" to new STYLE" which
throws the date further forward.
Surely it would be eminently fitting
If indeed, it is not a patriotic duty, for
the citizens of our community to unite
in Observing the occasion with appro-
pirate ceremonies. For example, there
might be held in the court house, or In
some public hall, on the evening of the
2lst, short religious service of thanks
giving for the manifold blessings which
have been vouchsafed 10 us as a nation.
This might be followed by three or four
addresses of twenty minutes each on
such subjects as: the salient features in
the history of our country from its dis
covery to the present time; the social,
educational, moral and material condi-
tions of the age; prophecy as to future
American civilization, or any other sub
jects of like nature. The first topic, if
necessary, could be divided one speaker
taking our country's history from the
beginning up to the Revolution, and an
other its history since that period. Three
or four speeches of fifteen or twenty
minutes each would probably be more
interesting and instructive than one
speech of an hours length. Then again,
patriotic songs could be sung between
the speeches, which, besides serving their
own purpose, would give the audience q
"breathing SPELL as it were.
If this matter be received favorably by
the community, the mayor of the town
it's official head-would cheerfully, it is
assumed, call meeting of the citizens
and committee on arrangements be ap.
pointed. This committee could select the
time and place of meeting, the subjects
of the addresses, the speakers, and also
appoint committee of ladies to conduct
the musical feature of the celebration.
Of course, Mr.. Editor, what is here
written is merely by way of suggestion
Any plan which would meet the object
in view would do as well as the one out.
lined above. The purpose of this
article is simply to call forth an
expression on the part of the com
munity as to the desirability of such
commemoration, which if conducted
with dignity, earnestness, ability and in
hearty spirit of grateful patriotic
thanksgiving, would prove itself both
beneficial and edifying to the last degree
With sincere appreciation of your cour-
tesy in allowing the use of your columns,
Faithfully yours,

JUST LOOK AT THEM !
The Globe Has Its Attention Called
TO Something.
The Streets i'm What Is Termed a Des.
perate Condition.
SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE NOW
Merchants Allowed Some Privileges and
Then They Are Denied Many
Others, 1t Seems.

The GLOBE this morning received the
following letter from lady of this city
who is heavy tax payer:
TO THE EDIToR-You are all the time
talking about sewerage systems and fire
traps and poor service in the city water
works, and making folks believe that you
have very thoughtful and watchful care
over the health Of this community.
l sometimes doubt your sincerity and
think you are writing simply to fill space.
About year ago you were yelling for
the rights of the merchant; you wanted
to give every dealer in town a chance to
put drop shelf in front of his place of
business and wear one around his neck If
he wanted it. Don't you know that every
merchant in town should be ashamed of
himself for sweeping out all the waste
papers, paste-board boxes, and thou
sand things which accumulate in his
store and which have no business in the
street. 1t makes our streets look untidy,
it is another source of breeding disease,
and should be stopped | endorse your
ideas on the fire traps, on the impure
water and the sewerage system, but mas
much as we cannot have any of these,
why is it that we cannot at least keep tine
streets clean? A LADY READER.
To the gentle and fair lady who thus
jumps astride our back, as it were, we
want to say that we do know it--and we
bope-sincerely hope-that the mer-
chants will everlastingly tumble to them
selves, and keep the streets cleaner than
they are.
We are not in the scavinger business,
or we should most certai My 60 out and
pick up all the trash he could find; we
have no authority to order this thing
done
But we will say that it is our opinion,
and, as farmer joe daniels would say, our
deliberate opinion, that our Lady Reader
is right, and the health officer and other
officers, including street commissioner,
should "call halt"
