EASTMAN WILL RESIGN TO-DAY
Peculiar circumstances Under Which
Nr. Eastman Has IAbosesi--Mr.
Bender Has Caused Trouble.
EASTMAN Will RESIGN ToDA'

Superintendent Eastman Of the pollen
force. wiz probably hand his resignation
10 thu board II commissioners today.
For the past month Mr.. Eastman has
ieen preparing for this event. and has
about completed arrangements 10 re
enter the practice Of the law. Ii was
rrmored yesterday. and for week past.
that the board would ask the supcrin-
tendent 10 resign. Yesterday il was
stated that Commissioner Whitney hal
written to Mr.. Eastman asking for his
resignation. Mr.. Whitney was asked
about II and. in most emphatic tones
branded the story as lie. He said: Il
wish il distinctly understood that have
NO, written 10 Mr. Eastman on any sub
lecf. do not know of single reason
why any one should ask for his resigna-
tson. | certainly would be the last one
10 ask IL. l am sorry that Mr.. Eastman
has deemed it best to hand in his resig
nation
Mr.. Eastman was seen and said the
report that he had been asked 10 resign
was false. Aside from that he would
not talk for publication. but referred the
reporter To the commissioners.
Commissioner Loettgert said Mr..
Eastman had decided TO resign. but he
knew Of no member Of the board who
had thought Of asking him TO do 1t.
Where the Trouble Is.
The history Of the reasons why Mr..
Eastman resigns at this time is interest
ing. Last year Commissioner Bender
was apparently very close friend If
MIR. Eastman. but when the time for rc-
election came. because Mr.. East
man refused to turn the depart
ment into political machine.
Mr.. Bender sourcd on his friend East
man. and did all he could 20 defeat him
for re election. Since Mr.. Eastman's re
election IL IL claimed Mr.. Bender has
been after his scalp constantly. lie
has repeatedly insultcd the snperinten-
dent IN open board and in some at their
private conferences he has. il is claimed.
uniustly accused him. Matters have
not improved as time progressed. Mr..
Eastman has become disgusted with AT
fairs and decided To resign. He be
pariment that he leave, as his presence
subjected members Of the board TO in
suit as well as himself, and kept up
constant warfare i'm this department.
As To probable successor. no definite
answer could he had. Harvey o. Carr.
il is said. will be the appointee. but Mr..
Carr stated last spring when his name
was mentioned that he would not ac-
cept the position under board which
was operated as is the present board Of
commissioners. One or two members
Of the board feel that Lieutenant Hurley
is the best fitted for the place Of any
man in the city, but it is doubtful
whether he will be elected.

TWO BOOTH STORIES.

As story-teller Mr.. Booth was
unapproachable, writes Mr.. John
Malone in the Forum. His won-
deriul)y expressive face s'acted" all
the time, and his powers OF MINI
icry were astounding. It was
said of Garrick that he was capa-
bic of acting a gridiron. With
knowledge of Mr.. Booth, | can una
derstand the reas,nablenees of the
remark. A story he used to tefi
with much gusto Was cf an incir
dent which occurred in his early
boyhood while he was travelling
with his father. "Father," he said ,
was pla, ing Richard one night
in New Orleans, John Green,
who was well-known as an Irish
comedian aud became a rival OF
Tyrone Power was playing Henry
VI The scene between father
and the king went finely up to
the death of the king Father

: Die, prophet, in thy speechp
Green had made a very effective
ia !. and the audience were aps
plauding vigorously, when the
managers Big mas;iff, py some
oversiy left unclaimed, walked
out upon tho stage and deliberately
began shifting at Green's uptnrned
face, Poor Green Immediately
and spasmodica:ly rolled himself
over; father stood with his sword
en- garde, the audience roared, and
doggie held the stage!'
The reverence which Booth felt
and expressed for his fathers mem
ory and his loyalty to the defence
of bis good fame against evil report
appeared in every conversation in
which the elder Booth was men :
toned. Onces while rehes,rsing for
Richard Ill, he laughingly refers
red to the many amusing stories
tod of his fathers uncomfortable
Jury during the duel scene in the
last act Of that play. "Why," he
said. 1--we fought the combat with
him many q time and it was any
thing but terrifying. The fact is,
the story is one of the myths of the
stage. I've heard it located in
dozsn different cities by eye

GRAIN CROPS.

The crop report of the federal
department of agriculture for July
shows that there has been a slight
improvement in the condition OF
winter wheat, but that the average
condition of spri' g wheat is Ia 8
per cert. lower than it was a
month ago and Is 8 per cent. lower
than it was last. July, The depart
ment estimates that the yield OF
winter wheat will be about 1915
100000 bushels, a. total 394,000,-
900 bushels. This would be de-
crease of 121, 100000 below last
years yield. Bdt it must be res
membered that. the surplus carried
over from last year was twice az
large as usual. Wheat 10 now very
low and in view of the increasing
demand it is not reasonable that il
should long continue at present
prices.
| Oats also in splendid condition
The condition Of the crop is better
by 10 s per cent. than it was al
year ago and better than at any
time since 1889. AZ the European
oat crop is failure. there will bt
great exports of this crop ane
prices will probably be good,

A New Secession.

The latest development in the
silver situation is the threat
Of some of the miners TO start a
revolution to sccede their States
from the Union. The Rocky
Mountain Neacs of Denver has
more than usually startling head
lincss,in which it calls upon men to
|"Rise and Proclaim your Loyalty
to the Centepnia. State and Binets
alism.
OF course such distempered talk
is wrong and useless, 1t really
makes tie situation out there more
feverish and worse. Hot temper
and threats can do no good, When
the great silver war of modern
times was ended in 1865 few peos
pie in this country expected that
secession talk would naxt be heard
from the Northwest States. some
of which sent regiments s nth to
beat accession ideas out o. our sec
ton.
A new secession movement on
the part of Colorado and other sil~
yer States, even if they are assisted
by Kan as, will only serve as a
means of giving few demsgogues
an Opportunity TO blee ! a suffering
public. Why do they wish to &C.
cei,2 What people or SECTIONS do
they intend TO fghi? They cannot
force the rest Of the world to take
their silver product at their price.
Ali the fighting and victories Of
one section over another could not
do that.
In the year of secession we sup.
pose we may expect Mrs Lease
General Weaver and Genera
Field to have prominent COM
mands. In the meantime Virgins
will remain in the Union aad will
congratulate herself that sheiis mol

ARMENIAN LELLABY.

IT theu wilt close thy drowsy eyes,
Ny mulberry one, my golden son,
The rose shall sing thee lullabies,
My pretty cosset lambkin
And thou shalt swing in an almond
tree,
With flood of moonbeams rocking
A silver boat in the golden sea
My velvet love, my nesting dove,
My own pomegranate blossoml
The stork shall guard thee p lssing well
All night. my sweet, my dimple-feet,
And bring the myrrh and asphodel,
My gentle rain ain-of-springtime;
And for thy siumber-play shall twine
The diamond stars with an emerald
vine,
To trail in the waves Of ruby wine,
My hyacinth- bloom, my hearts
perfume,
My ccoing little turtle!
And wha the moon wakes up to see
My apple~bright, my souls delight.

NOT AN EASY BUSINESS.
Atlanta Constitution,

Atlanta Constitution,
When people look at the nums
erous volumes written by Scott,
Dickens and Thackeray, it strikes
them that theses great writer's did
an enormous amount of work.
The mechanical labor of produc-
ing SO many books is in itselfsomes
thing remarkable, but a busy
newspaper man writes more in a
year than a successful novelist does
in twenty years. An active reporter
grinds out, at the lowest estimate,
1900 words day, 1900 in a month,
504, 900 in year, equivalent in
quantity to the reading matter of
nearly six 36O-page novels. Some
reporters have been at work from
twenty to forty years. At the very
low average we have given, busy
Journalist would write in ten years
5,040, 900 words, in twenty years,
10,0S0,OOO words; in thirty years,
Is, 10000 words. or an amount of
matter equivalent to 224 novels.
of 800 pages each, the work of any
fifty industrious novelists.
1t is very evident from these
figures that newspaper writing re-
presents hard work. But let us 60
a little further with these statistics.
In order to write twenty words a
mans fingers travel over the space
of foot, with two or three distinct
movements in the form alton OF
each letter. At this rate it will be
Iseen that, as there are $3.50 feet in
a mile, newspaper man in forty
years makes his pencial trave
about 1875 miles with vertical anG
llatteral motion.
/ This work is aside from~the re-
porter's time and labor spent il
getting his facts, but even thi
Isupel ficial calculation should max,
I i. plain that the mechanical O
4 physical labor OF writing is mucl
j greater than the public general,
II s1pposes. We have had in ou
imind q writer who gets up only
column day, hnt there are me
who average two or three column
+ dairy. To figure out the prod nc
{ and the labor of such toilers woul
Il stagger belief ani would caus
,EEmany young men to give up the
Journalistic aspirations.

THE HERMIT THRUSH.

Spent day in,silence now is dying,
And vesper bells chime far away. =
From secret bowers a bird is calling,
Through murky night shades swiftly
falling
He rings his loud and fearless lay.
o unseen singer
Of peace blest bringer,
You hymn dawn beyond the grave
of day.
T he notes foatsweet as child's voice pray
ing
Across the feds repose foresaying,
And vocal vales the strain prolong.
Though plaintive throbs at times seem
blending,
Gay swells the paan sadness ending;
For faith ecstatic nerves the song.
The carol urges
Rare thought up surges,
listen, rapt, while wakened fancles
throng.
To you, cold moon, so proudly striding
Through meshy clou is the shy stars bids
ing,
Those tender thrills do not ascend;
Nor wasted drift on glcoms investing
Our darkish sphere, but to man resting,
The welcome MARBLES soothing wend.
Among Gods creatures
Our, human natures
Need all the sympathy that Heaven
may send.
Tired men from irksome toll reposing
List to the slumber-song half doing,
AT thresholds domed by >trellised
vine,
A nd blighted breasts, benumbed by sor~
row.
Surcease of pain and calm may borrow,
Relieved. dear bird, by mirth of thine.
May rest be given,
By kindly Heaven,
To weeping eyes and bosoms that repine.
