THE MASTERY OF LOVE.

Love was a stranger,
without lock or key
He unlocked my bosom
And took my heart from me-
Now nv heart is subject
Every where 90.
Be a gentle master, love,
To one VINO loves you so.
IL few days and weeks,
In few months or years,
Love brought me- sorrow,
And the salt, salt ears.
Oh, love, come with laughter.
Or. love, come with woe,
Deal but gently with tine heart
That leans upon you SO.
Tha bees wing Is fragile,
The lSrk's eSg is suaii,
That you took WAS lttlei
But II was my all.
Bear the captive where you VIII
To high estate or low,
But be a gentle master, love-
To one who loves you SO.

Minnie Thompson's Dress Catches Ahre-
She Prevents Her Companions From
Helping Her-She Is Terribly Burned
and Cannot Recover.
About o'clock last night Minnie Thomp-
son, aged 21 years, of No. 20 Third'avenue,
was standing with her back to the fire in
the parlor Her dress caught fire.
The girl became terrified, and uttering
scream started to. run about the
room. Some of the other inmates of the
house attempted to catch the terrified girl,
but she managed to elude their grasp and
the flames soon enveloped her entire per-
son. Her companions finally managed to
get. hold of her and threw her on the floor,
but she broke away from them and when
the landlady rushed into the room the girl
was being literally roasted alive and her
screams were pitiful.
The girl was forced into corner and the
flames .smothered with rug, but not until
the girls clothing was burned from her
body, the hair burned from her head and
her flesh from her feet to her head baked
and peeling off in pieces. The girl was
suffering excruciating pain and begged
them to allow the fire to burn and end her
misery. A physician was at once sent for,
who cared for the unfortunate girl, after
which she was removed to the West Penn
Hospital. The girls burns are of such a
nature that it is almost impossible for her
to live

County Commissioner Mercer Knows Moth
ing of the Bribery of Weary.
. County Commissioner Mercer gives very
little credence to the story sent out from
Chicago Wednesday to the effect that
A. H. Andrews & Co. had been defrsuded
out of S100, 900 by their representative, E D.
Weary. The firm deals in Office supplies
and claims that Weary accepted bribes
from other firms One of the cases it cites
was in the awarding of the contract for the
office fixtures of the Allegheny County
Court House,
II cannot remember the name Weary in
connection with the awarding of the con-
tract, said Mr.. Mercer. 'tNorcross Bros.s
secured the job at bid of S103, 900. The
Mitchell Furniture Company bid S115, 900,
and A. 81. Andrews & Co offered to fnr-
nish the stuff for S1O7, ,O0O The inference 1
would take from the Chicago telegram is
that Weary sold out to Norcross Bros. and
fixed the bid for his firm 81 900 higher than
Norcross Bros. 1 do not believe such
thing was done. 1 know the high char
acter of the Norcross firm, as these gentle
men had the contract for the erection of the
Court House, and cannot think they would
stoop to such a practice"
