A Bllud and Lame Woman Burned to Death

Henry Van VIE, living three miles
southeast of Hudson, heard the cries of
his wife, while he was attending TO
farm duties. fastening to the house
he. found her body burned TO a crisp
and lying near the back door. She
was blind and crippled, and it is
thought that her clothing caught fire
from the stove. An overturned water
pail near where she was lying in
dicated the desperate effort she had
made to save herself. She was about
60 years old. The dwelling took fire,
but the flames were put out before
much damage was done.

Upper Peninsula People Aroused Over an
Atrocious Murder.
DIR. Nicholas Melosche, of Portage
Entry, who was shot by Erick Kagas,
a Findlander, is dead. The only prov
ocation for the crime was the doctor S
refusal to dress a mans wounds in a
saloon where a drunken row, resulting
in the usual humane carving match,
had taken place. DR.. Melosche was
one of the most prominent physicians
on Lake Superior, having been sur
geon of the Quincy copper mine for
years.
Sheriff Dunn has the murderer safely
lodged in Jail at Houghton together
with all his associates in the fight
Although the Jail is one of the best in
the upper peninsula, unless there is
something done to quell the feeling of
the populace, Kagas will never be
tried by jury. The feeling against
him is intense, for his crime was the
most cold-blooded affair.

ArcnDlshop ireland Prefers Serious Charges
Against Archbishop Corrisan.
Formal charges of the gravest char
acter have been preferred against Rev.
Michael Augustine Corrigan, the
Roman Catholic archbishop of New
York, by a brother prelate. His grace
of New York is accused by Rev. John
Ireland, archbishop of st. Paul, of hav-
ing engaged in an unlawful conspiracy
to weaken or undo the effect of the
pope's decisions in respect to church
matters in America and of having had
recourse to methods unbecoming q
bishop, designed to discredit and dis
grace Archbishop Ireland and Mgr.
Satolli, the papal delegate to America.
These charges, duly formulated, are
now on their way 30 Rome, where they
will be presented to the highest tribu-
nal in the Roman Catholic church.

OFFERINGS OF THE POETS.


A Hymn of Consolation.
IA friend OF the writer. having lost an only
of science. and still less In the unsatisfying
tenets of diversned beliefs, despairingly inquiries
II the poets, as a Glass; accept the doctrine OF
immortality
What use is your philosophy. my friend.
Your boosted science faithfully pursued,
II still you cannot see beyond the end
The growing proof of some eternal goodi
OF what avail the midnight toll of years,
The patient porting over books, apart,
If, after all. the only end be tears
Forever falling on doubling hearth
What boots the pallor of your aching brow,
Bent with the weight Of cold, scholastic lore,
II you cannot discover, even now,
Some little glimmer of the further shorel
II science cannot soothe your hearts unrest.
Nor pledge of priesthood palliate your pain.
Go to the poets with your wants confessed
And you shall seek for solace not in vain.
On their large vision lovingly rely,
The prophets they, who walk the outer WALL
The oracles of immortality,
On whose white brows the deathless splendors
fall.
Like those brave doves that left the stranded Ark,
Our poets breast the deluge and the strife.
And DER the waste of waters, wild and dark,
Bring back the tokens of eternal life.
II disappointed still, 20 feed your fire
With every dreary and delusive scroll,
Which fails to satisfy the high desire
That pleads. tonight, for answer in Your soul.
Then turn at last, TO Nature. Lie full prone
Upon her breast with meek. submissive heart,
And heed the consultations which, alone,
Her lips with fullest fervency impart.
What proofs are hers. you ask No idle play
OF empty vaporings, but one vast breath
or blest assurance. brimming all the day
With floods OF promise overfiowing death.
The smallest atom at her fnger-tips
Gives death the lie, and puts TO flight all fear;
The rose Of hope still reddens on her lips,
And ripens to new beauty, year by year.
There is future the reviving grass
That slowly conquers the unyielding sod
Pr0claims that naught eternally can pass
Beyond the quick, recalling touch Of God.
There is future! Life is but begun!
Unaging planets. singing as they roll
Their golden revolutions round the sun,
Make proclamation of 1t to the soul.
She is not dead, that little girl OF yours,
Nothing that ever lived shall ever die
For Life itself is but phase OF force,
And Force the flower of Immortality.

The First Blue Bird.


The First Blue Bird.
Sweetheart! Our locks are thin and gray,
Our eyes lack lustre, and men say
"Their youth has vanished" Well-a-day,
Ihear blue bird singing.
The lambs 60 leaping down the lane,
The sunlight fiickers on the pane,
The guineas clank shriller strain:
Ihear blue bird singing.
The children's voices clearer ring
The elm buds swell, the grasses spring,
And maple drops are pattering:
hear a blue bird singing.
Ah love was never yet so cold,
SO dead and cold, SO dumb and old.
1t leapt not TO the warmth untold
That thrills the blue birds singing.
They call us DID, who years decry,
The bird sings down the cruel lie,
We're young forever, you and 1;
hear a blue bird singing,
BENZ. g. Parker.
Song.
Oday OF dreams and fancies!
o time Of truant spring!
OF old runes and romances,
The light of Grant lances-
Sweet deeds and golden launches
To new discovering
bird. in summer branches,
That only breathed to sing!
All. well for me had never
The primal season passed.
Foregleams OF high endeavor,
The love that lives forever,
Were Just within the portal
Were mine in faith held fast
Alas. that things immortal
So short time should last!
But even to his grieving
The poets numbers thrOng.
Joy and all FOND believing,
Love, hope and youth outcleaving,
1t woos him as it flies him
Nor ever leaves him long
Though happiness despise him
The gift-the fate-of song!

ais this fast. TO keep
The larder leane,
Or show
downcast look and sOurel
No; tits fast to dole

And meat
Unto the hungry soule.

From old debate
And hate;
To circumcise thy life.
To shew heart grief rent;
To sterve thy sin,
Not bin;
And that's to keep thy Lent"

Light.
Lord, send Thy light.
Not only in the darkest night,
But in the shadowy, dim twilight,
Wherein my strained and aching sight
Can scarce distinguish wrong from right
Then send Thy light.
Teach me TO pray.
Not only In the morning grey,
Or when the m0onbeams silver ray
Falls on me-but at high noonday
When pleasure beckons me away,
Teach me TO pray.
