Where the roses bloomed too fast,
And the children laughed and played
And n thousand Joys were planned,
And thousand songs were sung;
Oh. that was o lovely land
Where we lived when we wcrc youngi
Behind the walls Of the past

Where the roses died too fast,
And the sun IL darkness set
Full Of thorns that pierced tho hand.
And gifts TO the thanklcss flung:

Yet when we think Of II ALL

The question has often been brought
forward as to the wholes<meness of
bread made by the old fashioned method
of raising with yeast, which, as is well
known, causes fermentation, and
which is actually rotting of parts of
the -four, and is thought by physicians
to be directly responsible for much Of
the dyspepsia of the present day.
1t is claimed by those who have tried
It that the Royal Baking Powder will
make bread Of superior lightness, firm
ness, and general excellence without
the use of yeast. This process entirely
does away with the Preventative action,
and it is averred that no bread can pos

According to a dispatch from Baltimore,
the recall of Col. J. Hampton Hoge of Vir-
ginia, United States consul at Annoy, China,
just as he was about to embark at San
Francisco is based on representations by
Mr.. Musgrave lawyer of Baltimore that
he has attempted to defraud clients of his,
by name, the Merchants Protective Credit
and Collection Bureau, out of about s4oO
collected by him on their account Mr..
Musgrave recently had an interview with
Secretary Gresham on the subject. He said
that he was prevented from instituting civil
proceedings against Col. Hoge because of
his departure from the state, and that in
order to avoid detention Mr. Hoge had CIV
en- his clients check for 1925 in part pay
ment of his Indebtedness, which check
went to protest. Mr.. Hoge had started for
San Francisco before it was learned that
the check could not be collected The mat
ter was laid before the President, and he
directed that Mr.. Hoge be recalled to Wash
ington pending an investigation. Another
charge against Mr.. Hoge is that he has i'm
posed on a Washington tailor to a large
amount. 1t is also reported here that he
was constantly intoxicated and disorderly
on the trip from FL Paso to San Francisco
and that he had trouble with the conductor
of the train. His friends assert that Col.
Hoge is a high-toned gentleman and that
an investigation will show that he has been
most cruelty slandered.

PROSPECTS OF TROUBLE.

CHICAGO, Nov. 6.-There is no certainty

THE COLT BURNED.
An Old Steamer Destroyed by Fire
Yesterday Morning.

The steamer w. w. Colt, which since the
close of the excursion season has been ly-

destroyed by fire about $50 o'clock yester-
day morning. Mr.. James A. Richardson.

but succeeded in getting off, and when the
fire department reached the wharves it was
found impossible to reach the burning yes-
sci. Mr.. Richardson, after enjoying an
oyster roast, had turned in about ! o'clock,
and was awakened by the odor of burning
wood and smoke, when he made his es-
cape, after finding he could not reach a
boat, by swimming. The boat had long
been known in the Potomac, having been
here as a transport a short time during
the war, and subsequently ran to Norfolk
and the river landings, and was last owned
by Howard Plass of New York, who 1t is
said, had $4,000 insurance upon her, which
is thought will cover the loss.

British Sailors Killed by an Explo-
sion mt Rio.
Secretary Herbert yesterday received a
cable message from Capt. Picking. COM
manding the United States fleet at Rio de
Janeiro. as follows:
AN explosion of large quantity of gun
powder belonging to the insurgents occurred
British naval officers, boatswain and one
man were killed and five others seriously
injured. They were getting sand at the time
near the magazine. Admiral Mello claims
that the Brazilian government is RESPONSE
ble"
The cause of the explosion is not stated
nor is the ground which Mello bases
his assertion that the government is re-
sponsible for the accident clearly under
stood, unless il means that the explosion
was not the result of his bombardment of
the city. Governors Island lies above the
city of Rio and Is about five miles long and
two miles wide. The powder of the insur-
gents was stored on 1t and Mellos flagship.
AQuideban, is anchored nearby as a guard.
The loss of this powder is a serious blow to
the cause of the insurgents, as IL is believed
they are short of ammunition. Although
the accident occurred on an island in the
possession of the rebels the British govern
ment will call on the de facto government
of Brazil for an explanation of the killing
of its subjects. 1t is the only government
recognized by the powers, and while the
explosion happened on an island in the
hands of the rebel, still Mello cannot be
asked to apologize, even though the loss
was caused by the carelessness of some OF
his men.

BALTIMORE'S LOCAL FIGHT.
Repeaters From Washington Said to
HIVE Arrived,

Have Arrived.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
BALTIMORE, Nd, Nov. 6.-All day yes
terday and today the workers of both the
republican and democratic party have been
engaged rounding up the voters, prepara-
tory to the nnal contest tomorrow. The re-
publicans are trying with all their energy
to keep the colored voters in line for their
ticket, while the democrats are exerting
all the power of their unrivaled machine to
break the color line and secure at least
part of that large vote for Gen. Latrobe.
The democrats are working in two ways.
They are Offering so much to those negro
voters who will vote the straight demo-
cratic ticket and to those who are unwill-
ing TO vote the democratic ticket they offer
half the price of a vote, provided they
agree to remain away from the polls alto
gether.
Congressman Rusk chairman of the DEM
ocratic city committee, claims that LatroDe
will be elected by at least 5000 plurality.
Other democrats claim a larger majority,
and assert that the negro vote which their
ticket will get will more than offset The
number of whites who will cut the ticket.
the independents appear to have lost
heart in the last day or two, and many OF
them will vote the republican ticket
the only question now is as to which
ticket will get the bulk of the negro vote.
If it is given to Master he will win, other
wise Latrobe will succeed himself
the democrats have plenty of money, and
are ready to spend it freely. 1t is already
asserted that gangs of repeaters from
Washington and Wilmington have come to
town to vote for Latrobe.
the democrats held their final meeting
of the campaign Friday night. and the re-
publicans closed their appeal to the people
Saturday night on the city hall plaza.
The republican workingmen held mass
meeting Saturday night and had parade.
The democratic parade Friday night was
the largest ever seen in Baltimore For
the first time in the history of the city
large numbers of colored men marched
with the democrats, and were treated as
equals.

Craze to Make Arrests.

Agnes Mccullough, a colored resident of
Navy place, was before the Police Court
today on charge of keeping disorderly
house. Policeman Stevens swore out the
warrant because of what had been told him.
Several policemen were called, but they had
not heard any noise in the house. There
was not a single word given in support of
the charge, and Judge Miller said there
seemed to be perfect craze to arrest some
body on Saturday night on charge of this
kind, and he thought the officers had better
be more careful about making the arrests.
The charge was dismissed.

AW AITlNG THE RESULT.

Elections Tomorrow.
Mckinley's Election I'm Ohio VIII
Have No Effect on the Ways and
Means Committee.

The result of the off year elections tomor-
row is awaited with considerable interest
by the Congressman here, especially the
democrats. and a good many have gone into
Virginia and New York to watch the re-
turns tomorrow. There is not however
very much light which they can get from
these elections. The election in Virginia is
the only one that is expected to reflect senti-
ments on the financial question, and this
VIII De sort OF post norton affair too
late to influence legislation and valuable
only TO the democrats as indicating what
they may expect i'm the southern states
against the coming around of another cleo
ton.
The Tariff I'm Ohio.
In Ohio and there alone will the tariff
question enter, and il is not expected that
the democrats will learn a lesson from the
result there. however disastrous their de-
feat may be. The fight there is directly on
the tariff and the democrats anticipate moth
ing else than decided victory for Mckinley
ana protection. There is some irritation on
the part of the ways and means committee
al the fact becoming known that the Spring.
er free wool bill has been Incorporated in
the new tariff bill that is being prepared
lest this should have bad effect on Mr.
Neais canvass in Ohio. This is an unnec-
eSsdiy Irll3lOn, since there has probahl
been no doubt in the minds of rhe people of
ONO as to the attitude of the democrats
toward WOOL The expectation is that Mr.
Mchiniey VIII have a large majority and
consequently the election will be q verdict
In favor Of the Mckinley law as far as Ohio
Is concerned.
NO Effect on the Ways and Mean.
Committee.
MS however, will have no effect on the
WORK OF the ways ana means committee
and they will draw no lesson from IL which
VIII cause them to change their plans.
Their intention is to go ahead now as rap-
idly as possible with the preparation of a
strictly revenue bill, and this revenue fea-
ture Will extend even to the free list to a
great extent, since these articles which IL
is intended to put on the free list IL is de-
signed, shall be such as do not now produce
any revenue. The subcommittee expect to
be able to complete their bill and submit il
TO the full committee within two weeks.
Another Financial Fight.
Another fight on the financial question is
anticipated as soon as Congress reconvenes
and the only thing anticipated from the
result of the election in Virginia is that il
the democrats lose heavily there the party
in Congress at the next session, or at least
the southern members of ii, will be eager to
do some thing to appease the wrath of the
populists, and some wild demagogy may re-
suit.
