Born Dumb.
My little love! my specchless childl
Can forget my woman's heart and DO
Forever mute TO grief, forever mildf
Is Il not hard to bear the falling rod
When such an ailment for these baby lips
Divinely suits the policy OF God?
The lambs that play too long at hide and

Have tongues that ask for mothers; these,

Learn lovely meanings when the children
speak.
The mother comes from far across the field
And calls assurance 20 her anxious child,
AS had answered had my lamb appealed!
Sowith unfeathered blackcaps; so with things
Whose tones are pitched too low for mortal
cars.
They plead, and nature sends them breast
and wings
But shall never hear that storied speech,
That lovely language whose expression is
Defiance OF all rules that man may teach;
Nor hear against my heart sons content
When for his mouth the willing milk is kind.

Triumph.


Not he who rides through conquered city's
gate,
At the head of blazoned hosts and to tho
sound
or victor's trumpets, In full pomp and state
OF war, the utmost pitch has dreamed OF
found
Nor he who by nations vast acclaim
Is sudden sought and singled out alone,
And while the people madly shout his name,
Without conscious purpose OF his own,
Is swung and lifted TO the nations throne.
Gut he who has all single handed stood
With foes invisible on every side,
And, unsuspected OF the multitude,
The force of fate itself has dared, dcfed
And conquered silently.
And that soul knows
In what white heat the blood Of triumph flows.

present the documents if a special COM

house either by motion or petition.
Ahlwardt then went around among the

their support of motion for the appoint

alleged discriminating documents.

LOUISVILLE, KY, April 14.-W. G. Irv-
ing GILES, a well known young Louisville
man, of a prominent family, recently re-
turned from a short residence in Chicago,
and young woman. Lizzie Kelner, mem
Der of the demi monde, known as Mamie
Wilson, were found dead IN bed at one
o'clock this afternoon in room on the sec
ond floor of Fishback lodging house.
Unmistakable evidence points 10 the fact
that Giles was dosed with morphine
in whisky by the woman, who afterwards
ended her life by taking similar dose.
GILES and the woman registered as II. Is.
Hibbitt and wife, of Chicago
The couple spent Wednesday night at
the lodging house and returned there
again at 7:30 last night, and were shown
the same room they had occupied the
night before. GILES told Mrs. Fishpack TO
call them at noon to-day, as he had Dusl-
ness of Importance to attend TO.
When the door of the room was opened
at l o'clock this afternoon oy Mr.. Fish
back, a horrible sight met his gaze. Lying
diagoually across the bed were the bodies
of the man and woman absolutely naked.
but partially covered with quilt. They
had doubtless been dead for hours.
Several large pieces of yellow manila
paper were found lying on the bureau near
by. On one of them was scrib6led in
a large uneven hand the following discon-
nected sentences;
"My love is going TO leave. l will kill
him first. o God, forgive me for murder
ing him. Good bye, all good bye

gave him morphine in whisky and took 1t
myself. God forgive and forgive me and
him. Oh, my God, he sleeps now a sleep
that knows no waking. Oh God, save
his soul. Oh, am getting
sleepy myself. / kiss him. Oh, God bless
him. Such is the ending of an i'll spent
life. Oh, God forgive me. o, my God, he
got black in the face; o, my God"
Mamie Wilson was the name assumed by
the woman when she entered upon life OF
shame. Her real name was Lizzie Kelner
and her mother and half-sister, Mrs. Henry
Happy, live on Lytle street near Nine
teenth. Three years ago she was married
to d man from Kansas City and went TO that
city with him.
They separated three months after the
marriage, and she returned 10 Louisville.
The woman attempted to commit suicide
two weeks ago by jumping into the river
from the First street ferry dock. She
claimed at that time that family troubles
caused her TO attempt to take her Life. She
claimed TO have been married TO Giles last

this time given its hearty assent"
Mr. Dolph, OF Oregon, being inter-

in favor Of annexation, and has been
pronounced In his views In favor OF that
policy. II am as strongly in favor OF

frustrate their annexation to the United
States. Mr.. Blounts action may be
the simple result OF desire on Mr..
Clevelaud's part TO put the negotiations

Senator Cullom deprecated the act OF
the commissioner and said: 81 am not
surprised that the present Democratic
administration should order the stars
and stripes to be hauled down. They
have taken the flag down whenever
they had the opportunity and there was
a time when they had IL down In the
States for quite while. The dominant
power In the Democratic party caused
the flag to come down then 10 the
Southern States and now they are per-
forming the same act elsewhere. IL Is
not the first time, by any means, that
Democrats have ordered down the flag
OF the country"

distance, thoroughly In the dark as to

unjust TO attempt any criticism OF his
acts. There is certsinly nothing repre-
hensible in his conduct, but do think
that the. act Of Minister Stevens In es-
tabishing protectorate is to be strong
ly condemned. What should be done in
the matter can be better determined af-
ter we have heard all the facts from

A VERY SAD DOUBLE DROWNING.
Nr. Alex. W. Quarter aud Miss Ella Young

Mr. Alex. W. Quarter aud Miss Ella Young
Lose Their Lives in the Kanawha River
The Bodies Not Discovered.
Special Zs!sgraH 10 ne Rsgsster.
CHARLESTON. WA, April 14.-One
Of the saddest accidents that ever hap
pened 10 Charleston was the drowning
last night Of Mr.. Alex. w. Quarter ard
Miss Ella Young.
MrQuarrIer was the oldest son OF the
late VIM. A. Quarter, who was we'll
known all over the State, and has been,
for a year or more, a clerk in the Office
OF the Secretary or State. Miss Young
has been visiting here for several
months, her home being In Lexington,
Missouri.
About s o'clock last night the two
went out on the Kanawha river for a
ride in Mr.. Quarters canvas canoe, and
have not been seen since. IL was
thought at first that darkness overlook
them away from home, but when they
did not return this morning an alarm
was given.
Searching parties have thoroughly
gone over fifteen miles OF the river, but
the only trace yet found is portion OF
the paddle they used. The watchman
OF the bridge last night heard cries for
help on the river just after steamboat
had passed, and it Is the prevailing
opinion that they were run down by the
boat.
Dragging for their bodies has so far
been in vain. How and where they met
their death will never be known, but
that they we're drowned is beyond ques-
tlon. Mr.. Quarter was an expert
swimmer, but was probably drowned in
his efforts to save the young lady. The
whole town is sorrowing over the sad
and untimely death Of these young
people. Mr. Quarter was preparing
himself for the Episcopal ministry.
