Ah, what is life? so brief ut best
a waking between rest ana rest;
An insects trail along the sand;
a gems bright fash upon the hand;
a wavc-linc traced Oh oceans shore,
Just ripplcd there, then seen no more;
a breath upon frosted pane.
A moment warmed, then chilled again;
Tho shadow OF a cloud, that stays
Until obscurcd by passing haze.
Canst thinh of aught moro brief, more feet,
TO image forth Times flying fcet1
Yet in the shadow" in tho "breath,"
Our love awalIes, which knows no death,
And life, which seems so brief to be,
Is crowned by Immortality

stan Correspondence Evening journal.
DOVER, Jan. 1.-THE fifth annual
meeting of the Peninsula horticultural
Society convened in Court House Hall
to-day. The meetings will last until
Thursday evening The society is or
ganized In the interest Of fruit growers
and its members are the leading horti
culturists Of the Peninsula The heavy
snow Of last night prevented the arrival
OF many who would otherwise have been
in attendance. but the sessions Of to-mor
row aud next day will be much more
largely attended
The exercises announced for this
morning were merged into those of this
afternoon. When Vice President w
Slsymaker tapped his gavel at 80 o'clock
not uore than fifteen persons were In at
tendance. The cause of this unusually
small attendance was not apparent until
IL was learned that Delaware division
trains We're stuck In snowdrifts at Wy
oming and Kirkwood, and that some Of
the country roads leading TO town were
blocked by the snow which HAD been
banked by the winds Of last night and

ford, who was slated for the report of the
committee ON the propagation Of fruit
trees aud plants. was present and pre-
sented the report which was peculiarly
interesting TO the farmers as IL brought
about a thorough discussion of the
feasibility of raising nuts on the PENN
sua
The paper told how to propagate the
different kinds Of fruits, including apples
pears. peaches and the various kinds OF
small fruits, and described the most sue
cessful methods for such propagation
IL took up in detail the different methods
apples, by grating; peaches, by bud
ding, etc. The discussion on this topic
led TO the question Of growing nuts. The
opinion of those who took part in the
discussion was emphatically that the
chief reason why nut culture has not
been profitable to a commercial extent il
that the whole dependence of The growei
has been upon the seedlings
Mr. Slaymaker read paper on ''nu
and nut trees" II was the belief Of th'
1 WHICH ut huh
nuts could be prohtably grown on tn
Peninsula aud that waste land or cripple
could be used for growing hazel nuts.
The evening session was devoted to
discussion on "The Funguous Diseases o
the Pear and other matters pertaining

MR.. BLAINE NO WORSE.

His Condition Remains About the Same
To-day-No Immediate Danger Antici-
pated.
WASHINGTON, Jan. H. The long
watches of the night brought no change
in the condition of Mr.. Blaine This was
contrary to expectation, for the serious
attacks of the early hours of the two
preceding days and the alarming symp-
toms of Saturday night had caused the
minds of physicians and watchers to
apprehend turn for the worse in the
hours bordering on midnight. But these
symptoms did not appear
The physicians, Doctors Johnston and
Hyatt left their patient at 40 last night
after becoming convinced that there was
no immediate danger. They left word, of
course, that they should be summoned
in the event of-the appearance of unfav-
orable symptoms, but as nothing of an
alarming nature was visible, the rest of
the faithful physicians was not dis
urbed.
The doors of the mansion were opened
early this morning. At o'clock the at
tendant at the door stated that Mr..
Blaine had rested quietly and comfort
ably during the night and was much
better.
Up to 10 o'clock there has been but
one or two callers at the Blaine residence
and these had merely asked the servant
at the door as to Mr.. Blaine's condition
Friends Of the ex-secretary had read in
the morning newspapers of the improve
ment experienced during the night aud
this assurance prevented nearly all who
have been assiduous in their inquiries
concerning the condition of Blaine, from
making their usual morning call. 1t
was a subject for remark and taken as
an indication that Mr.. Blaine was much
better, that neither DIR. Johnston nor
DR.. Hyatt had visited the patient since
9.45 last night-a period of more than
twelve hours.
James G. Blaine, Jr., was asked by a
reporter as to his fathers's condition,
but declined to answer, referring the re-
porter to the physicians, who he said
were making all the statements.
DR.. Johnston made his first call of the
day shortly after IL o'clock, and re.
mained half an hour. On leaving he
stated that Mr.. Blaine had pas sed 9
comfortable night and was then very
com ortable, and appeared t
be stronger than he was yesterday
The physicians would not now ISSUE
another bulletin as it was not considered
to be necessary.

again today at their post in front of thl
residence of the distinguished invaliC

Ringer. six miles from town. reported

mother died about two weeks ago, but
as she had been sick ly for months, moth

of trichinae. A piece of flesh taken from
the girls arm also proved to be infected

symptoms of trichinosis, and it is feared
that one OF two other persons who ate OF

FRANCES NEW CABINET,

M. Ribot Organizes the New Ministry
without Loubet and de Freyoinet.
Characters OF the New Members.
PARIS, Jan. 1.-THE new Cabinet
organized by NJ Ribot is as follows: NJ

lor; NJ Develle, Foreign Affairs; NJ

General Loizillon, War; M. Gervais
Colonies and Marine; NJ. Depuy, Instruc-
tion NJ. Vigor. Agriculture M. Siegfri-d,
Commerce; M. Niette, Works.
The most notable difference between
this Cabinet aud its predecessor Is shown
by the absence Of NJ. de Freycinet and NJ
Loubet.
M. Loubet's lukewarmness as regards
investigation OF the Panama scandal has
been ill-concealed. In fact, he has
declared in a newspaper that Deputies
had rushed into the inquiry with repre-
hensible recklessness of consequences.
NJ de Freycinct has been Minister Of
War in several Cabinets. and has been
mentioned frequently among the possible
victims of the Panama investigation.
NJ. Ribot, while retaining the Premier
ship, has exchanged the Ministry Of
Foreign Affairs for the temporarily more
important post of the Ministry Of the
Interior NJ. Develle has assumed the
Ministry Of Foreign Affairs thus vacated,
relinquishing the portfolio Of Agricul-
ture to NJ Vigor, a new man.
M. Tirard retains the portfolio Of
finance and NJ. Bourgeois, whose policy
in the Panama matter caused much dis
senson in the last Cabinet, still holds
the all important Department Of Justice.
NJ Viette and M. Burdeau also remain
at their former posts. NJ Dupuy remains
Minister of Public Instruction. NJ. Sar-
rien, formerly Minister of Commerce,
has been supplanted by NJ. Siegfried.
He was formerly associated with the
notorious Cornelius Herr. and although
he denied before the Panama Committee
that he had not seen Herr since SS5 he
fell under the ban, as did Rouvier and de
Freycinet General Loizillon, who sue
ceeds to the Ministry of War; is like M.
Vigor and NJ Siegfried, a new man.
NJ. Albert Vigor, the new Minister OF
! Agriculture, is member of the Chamber
of Deputies for the circumscription OF
Orleans, in the Department of Loiret
having been elected in 1885 and again il
1889 He was born at Fargeau, Depart
; ment of Loiret, in 1874, and is a physician
, by profession. He has written mum
Der Of valued works on political economy
In the Chamber he has been member o.

DEWSNOP INVISIBLE.
WESLEY CHURCH PEOPLE THINK HE
HAS DEFRAUoED THEM.

The Pastors Right Hand Man Appears
TO Have Violated Confidence and Has
Left the City with Shortage of $500
in His Accounts with the Church.
Rev. Louis ]. Dewsnop. a prominent
worker in Wesley NJ. e. Church, has
skipped" and now the good people Of
Wesley, who have lost about $2Oi by
this agile movement on his part, fear
that he does not intend to reappear
Similar escapades which were allowed
to 90 unpunished have "bobbed up in
the reverend gentleman's former career
and now the Wesley congregation has
come to the conclusion that they have
been "feeced," and that the 5000 will
have to be placed under the loss account
Dewmop has been member of the
church for about three years, an active
worker, talented and apparently
devout young man Great confidence
was placed in him by his pastor,
Rev. J. B. Quigg and by his fel
low officials of the church.
He was particularly active in Sunday
school work and organized the Wesley
Zouaves, band of little boys which has
furnished many hours of pleasant enter
tainment in their pretty zouave garb.
Some time ago arrangements were be-
gun for raising the sum of 1000 first
installation on a mortgage of the church
and $40 inter, st, etc. OF this amount
Dewsnop promised to give 5000. which he
pledged himself TO raise in various ways
before the time for payment. His prom
ise was looked upon in good faith and
the 5000 was marked down as If it had
been a cash subscription.
As the time for turning in the money
had arrived the financiers began to look
for Dewsnops 5000 A search revealed
the fact that he had left the city. The
last seen of him was on "Wednesday last
Dewsnop had raised nearly $40 on &
bazaar which the Wesley Zouaves helC
and worked hard for in the Odd Fellows
Hall, under his direction His wors
act was however, to circulate
subscription list to raise the othei
800, unoer the sanction of the gooC
pastor DR.. Quigg. Upon this, IL is sup
| posed, he raised within a few dollars o
| the sum desired, and, instead of report
log daily TO his pastor, he kept con
spicuously silent
1t is said that Dr. Quigg refuses T.
accuse the man, although fearing tina
the reports are only too true He think
that if the fellow. who has been hi
right hand man, would return and re
port the collections on his church sui
scription list, there could be no direc
charge against him.
The last heard of Dewsnop was o
Saturday when the EVENING JcLRNAL'
New York correspondence contained tn
vote that he had registered at the Hof
man House this would disprove th
report that Dewsnop troubled by heav
debt, which he paid of with the church
money, as the rates at the Hoifma
house are 50 per day He probabl
travelled In a veatibuled train

o'clock this morning of heart disease
from which he had been for some years
an acute sufferer, so much so that for
long intervals he had been compelled to
abandon his duties as senator and to
forego all mental exertion.

its length and its vigor. He soon suf-
fered a relapse, however, from which he
never recovered. His sufferings during
the past few months of his life from
heart spasms were so poignant that "a

must have been looked upon as almost
welcome.
