THE COLUMBUS CELEBRATION.
New York in a Plaze of Bunting-Ths
 School Chiidren's Parade.

New York i'm Plaze of Bunting-The
 School ChiIdren's Parade.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 10.-It is probable that no city was ever before so beautifully, so gayly, so artistically, and above all so uni yersally decorated as is New York city to- day in honor of the Columbus celebration. It was to be expected that the city build ings, federal buildings, hotels, club houses and prominent business houses would be resplendent in gala attire, but the patriot ism of private citizens comes as something of surprise in the history of celebrations even in patriotic New York.
 The second day of the quadrennial cele- bratiou of the discovery of the New World was devoted to religious services Both in Roman Catholic and Protestant churches the services were of the most impressive character. The more important services were held in St. Patrick's cathedral, where Archbishop Corrigan officiated.
 Today, the third day of the celebration, the parade of the schoolboys took place, and it was beautiful sight. There were 10000 boys and twenty nine bands of music in line. Thousands of boys from the public and parochial schools came first, and after them the students of the higher institutions of learning, then bodies of uniformed cadets, including one of 300 Indian boys from the Indian school at Carlisle, Pa.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The city today is literally crowded with visitors from all parts of the country, and it is computed that fully 100000 visitors are in the city.
 Thousands upon thousands of pairs of eyes witnessed on the New York and Brooklyn bridge last night a pyrotechnic exhibition of unexcelled splendor. The scene from The Tribune tower was gor geous, lurid, wonderful.
 Screens of Roman dust followed bursting shells; screaming eagles of fire mingled with rockets and aerial sheafs and shower: of sparks, until the whole ended in the golden shower fac simile of Niagara, cover ing the bridge from tower to tower, realis tic and wonderful.
 The great feature of the Columbian cele bration today was the naval parade, which started from the Narrows about l2:3 o'clock. The display was the finest evsi seen in this vicinity.

 PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1.-The politicians are exercised over the new ballot law which will become operative at the general election. Chairman Recder. of the Repub lican state committee, has received infor mation that the official ballot decided upon by Secretary of the Commonwealth liar rity will be 52 inches long by 22 inches wide, and in the three columns will be given the Republican, Democratic and the Prohibition, Peoples and Socialistic-Laboi tickets. The last three will be in one col umn.
 Charles H. Mullen, an extensive paper manufacturer at Mount Holly Springs, who was delegate to the national Repub- lican convention at Minneapolis, says.
 "There Is not paper of that odd size oi enough paper to cut and print onetenth of the number of ballots that will be required in this state this fall, and you can say fot me that there is not product or stock enough in the markets of America to allow such a thing Co be done"
 Said Chairman Reeder: "I do not sec how the work is to be done unless they get to work immediately and go to New York and perhaps other places for paper and printing. It can't be done in the time al lowed. Unless the work be commenced at once there will be a terrible mix"
 "The tickets must be ready for the distri button of half of them on the 4th of No yember, must they not" was inquired. "Yes, and there's where there will be trouble. The secretary of the common. wealth certifies to the county commission CTS the nomination of candidates and four days before the election the ballots must be distributed. The sheriff is required to issue his proclamation for the election upon the filing by the secretary of the common. wealth of certificates of nomination"
 "What is to be done thenp' "I don't know. The ballots may be gotten out in time If the work Is commenced immedi. ately; otherwise l cannot sec how it is pes. sible to get them printed in time.n

 These are all we'll known Venezuelans who have aided the cause of the legalists by active service in the field or by finan- cial contributions. The provisional cabinet gives general satisfaction. It is believed that as quickly as is possible under the cir cumstances it will restore order throughout the distracted republic.
 The rumors concerning the escape of the de facto President Villegas-Pulido and his ministers are confirmed. They managed to get on a vessel bound for Martinique. It is said to be their intention to proceed to France and join their former chief, Dr. Pa lacio, in Paris

The Dalton Gang Wiped Out.

CoFFEYvILLE, Kan, Oct. 6-The Dalton gang of outlaws, the most notorious in the west, was wiped of the face of the earth here, but in the battle which resulted in their extermination three good citizens were killed and two fatally wounded. The desperadoes, who had grown bolder, think. ing they were above all law and the off. cers of the county were powerless against them, had attempted to raid the banks of this city, their old home, when they met the fate they so we'll merited. Had they confined their efforts to train robbery they might now be alive, but emulation of the James boys proved their ruin. This was their first attempt at bank robbery and their last piece of outlawry.

In 1S42 he pub lished volume of poems, many of which had been published before, but several were added, and among them the since famous "Locksley Hall" This, taken with such pieces as Mort d'Arthur," the May Queen" and ''The Two Voices" stamped 1ennyson as a great poet, and from that time forward his fame steadily increased.
 A Working Poet.
 Tennysou has been what might be called a working poet. If there is one field in which inspiration would seem to be espe- cially requisite, it is poetry; but Tennyson never relied upon lifts of frenzy" He was accustomed to go over and over his verses changing, shaping, polishing-till he got them as near perfection as work could make them. It is said that he has gone over some of his poems fifty times before giving them to the world. One never finds in his productions the rough workmanship of Byron, and seldom is there the evidence of inspiration by which Byron or Shelley threw off like flash some of their marvel ous passages. Tennyson has always de- clared that nothing is of value that is not carefully done. But while he accomplished much by taking pains, his poems show rather polished excellence than spontane- ous fervor.
 During, Tennyson's early days he pro fessed to be a democrat. This tendency is indicated especially in Lady Clara We're de Vere' and in "Locksley Hall" But while the masses of the English people were growing democratic Tennyson was drifting toward Gristocratic views. Either he was not sincere in the first place or he
