A PRISON AND PALACE.

Behold the tall and lambent spire
Irradiate with sunset fire.
Those windows Smt with twilight beams.
With evenings irideScent CLEANS;
How they reflect the early night,
It's mingling gold and laZulite,
And how those tall tranSfigured towers
Bloom 'gainSt the night like granite flowers;
How grandly lifts yOn FURNISHED dome
A Skyey shape of fire and foam!
- What are the buildings, friend?" said |,
THAT loom against the eastern sky,
And dashed with many a sunset CLEAN
Look like the palace of a dream?"
Them buildings, boss" the man replied
A sly smile in his features pale
You Just lookout you keep outside;
Panied at this ending of my dream,
This anticllmaX to my theme.
| found pOultice for my pain
In this wise mOraliZing strain.
We all live in a county Jail
Whose towering walls we cannot scale.
Though firmly. all in vain, we press
Against its granite StubbOrnneSS,
Dull, cold as fate. its walls arise
And shut our vision from the skies,
But when hopes sunlight falls upon
It's thick and heavy walls OF stone,
They loom against the coming night,
TranSfigured in mystic light,
And, bathed in gold and amethyst.
The granite grows as soft as mist
Transformed becomes the culprit'S jail.
And frOm.itS towers cloud banners fling
Their gorgeous windingS to the gale
1t is palace of a king!

PhilanthropistS.

How many of those who utilize d
part of their wealth for benevolent pur-
poses are actuated from motives that
are purely phiIanthrOpistical, or from
a sense of duty? They are no doubt
numerous. There are at least many in
whom-it is, difficult tefeeoneile their-so-
called philanthropy to any such mo-
tives men who have through a long
career become irrevocally identified
with oppression, whose lives are chap
ters of deeds that would outrage the
moral constitution of true philanthrO-
piSt and do violence to the SenSibilitieS
of passably just man. TO assume
that man can indict an unjust act be-
fore dinner. and one of benevOlence aft
er dinner. and remain true to his nature
in both instances, is folly and unreasOn-
able. TO be philanthrOpist one must
be just. They may not deem it unjust.
They may be so constituted that, as long
as the unjustnesS is traceable to the
workings of business, or due to the laws
of political economy, they are free from
all responsibility. The position may be
tenable for the ordinary man. but not so
for philanthrOpist And their will
ingness to assume that plea as an extern
uation for their position, stamps their
philanthropy with the ear-marks of OS-
tentatiOn and hypocrisy. There is one
thing noticeable about the adherentS of
the doctrine. that an injury resultant
from a strict construction of the laws
of political economy cannot be moral
wrong. If they seek monetary assist
ance of an individual who charges them
an usuriOus interest, they lose sight Of
the beauties of business and denOunce
him as ShylOck. 1t is the old story
of whose OK is gOred. The workings
of conscience is frequently coordinate
with that of the purse. Ii we are pecun-
iarily benefited it partakes of the elias
ticity of our purse. 1t otherwise, 1t
stands a rigid sentinel and remains i'm
mutable for the same reason that people
who are Indifferent to our welfare are
so free with their advice because it
costs nothing. 1t seems to be part
of the creed of the world, that ii a
man contributes part of his wealth to
benevolent enterprises it will, in return,
suspend Judgment on the manner IN
which that wealth was acquired. If the
millionaire lately diseased was one part
as great diplomat as he was finan-
cier, we would never have witnessed
that virtuOuS wave that existed at the
close of his career. One fraction of that
wealth judiciOusly bestowed on this
church or that institution would have
changed many of his denunciatOrs into
warm biologists, or at least ardent apol-
ogists. We could admire the unruffled
assurance of those so-called philanthro-

and, what is worse, their own actions,
if we could but forget their hypocrisy.

they are the recipients of, as recogni-

opinion, the greatest snob of all.

A FlENDlSH CRIME.
A Nine-Year-old Child Brutally Outraged !
and Then Murdered.

HUNlMELsTowN, Pa, Sept 2l.-A 9-year-
old girl named Cooper, daughter OF an en-
ploye Of the Hummestown Brown Stone
company, who lives about two miles from
Hummelstown, went TO school, carrying
her lunch in a basket When she failed to
return home in the evening her parents
became anxious, and instituted a search
which resulted in the finding of the body
of the child, strangled to death She had
been outraged and murdered, portion Of
her uuderclothing being used TO strangle
her It is supposed the fend who com
mitted the crime was Hungarian laborer
Agnes Cooper Wright is the name of the
child, who was tall for her age and strik-
inRly good looking. There were marks of
the fend's fingers upon her throat aud
bruises upon her cheek, probably the re-
suit Of his efforts to stop her cries. There
was evidence of n severe struggle. Dis
trict Attorney Detweiler has offered a re-
ward of $500 for the capture Of the muir
derer Of whom there is no clew.
The entire community is excited over
the crime, and if the murderer is found
soon summary vengeance viii likely be
meted out to him.

Tho Faribnult svstem stu lives.

ST. PAUL, Sebc. q. 1.-Archbishop Ireland
has set at rest all question of the contn-
uance or abandonment of the Faribault
plan. He says. "The Faribault plan lives
and is stronger today in promise of future
health than it has been at any preceding
time 1t is true that in the city of Fari-
bault there has been what l trust l may
term a temporary suspension Of the con
ditions of friendliness under which it was
possible to institute the plan. but this only
illustrates one Of the features of the plan,
which is that, local conditions changing,
it lies in the power of parish or public
school board to recede from any existing
alliance. The plan has been introduced
very satisfactorily in other places in the
state of Minnesota, and is in full opera
tion in a hundred places throughout other
states"

THE DECLARED intention of the
United States government prosecutor
at Philadelphia not to push the case
against Cochran, the theiviug weigher
in the mint, breathes more of the spirit
of sentiment than of justice and it will
nOt act as a deterrent from crimes of a
similar character, In fact, it appears
very much-coupled with the assert
ion that prosecution will not take
place if restoration is made--like com.
pounding a felony, If this rule were
to prevail, there is little doubt that
crimes would multiply with great ra-
pidity because all that an embezzler
when caught would have to do to es.
cape incarceration would be to return
the plunder This doctrine is wrong
in its moral and legal aspect. The
case against Cochran should be pushed
and pushed to the bitter end.

it is it is feared that several of the in

Many in the gallery jumped to the bal
cOny below, crushing and manning them
selves 1t is believed that there are seve-
raj bodies in the ruins, but only one per-
son, a tailor named Peter Curry, who is
known to have been in the gallery, is not
accounted for. There were a number of
strangers in the house, of whom no trace
can be found. The flames spread to the
Opera House block, completely destroy
