OUT OF SILENCE.

OUT OF SILENCE.
BY ETHEL LYNN.
Within silent land | dwell;
How still you cannot know;
A world where footsteps never come,
Where forms like shadows go.
Since years agone, when royal Sound
Kept step with sight to m =;
Before the warder at the gate
Of hearing lost its key.
All day l sit upon the porch
And know sweet sounds there be
OF humming, happy summer things
That come no more 10 me.
The cat-bird poised on yonder tree,
Qnivers his dusky throal;
The bee on vibralt wing goes by
hear not hum or note.
Yonder the workman's brawny arm
Above the gray stone swings
And crashes down. Ais, for me
No sounding hammer rings!
Without the tread of coming feet
TO warn me they are nea
Friends stand beside me unaware,
With written words of cheer.
But alb, to hear forevermore
No child's clear, merry shout,
No womans laugh or Sabbath hymn,
No church bell ringing out.
No homely cricket on the hearth,
No robins cherry call,
No chord of music low and sweet,
No welcome footsteps fall
For this, o Lord, give patience still;
Help through this silent land,
Till on that mystic Sea of Glass.
Where victor harpers stand.
l, too, shall wake with ear unstopped,
Where discord may not dwell,
Where never more sound can come
OF sishs or fun'ral knell

WILLIAM FoRREsr's WILL.
1t Looks as If There Will be a Contest
Over It--The heirs Surprised Over Its
Provisions.

1t Looks as If There Will be a Contest
Over It--The heirs Surprised Over Its
Provisions. ..-
1t looks as if there will be contest
over the will of the late William Forrest
vino died on May 18th. The heirs were
under the impression that the estate,
which amounts to about $4,000 would
be divided evenly among them. To their
surprise upon the reading of the will it
was found that their prospects of in
heritance are very far removed. Also it
seems there is no likelihood then Of an
equRble inheritance. One Of the direct
heirs has openly asserted his intention
of disputing the will. 1t is understood
also that the sentiment of the others are
similar. The will indicates the provis-
ion Of retaining the estate intact under
the care of a trustee until 81 years after
the death of the last surviving heir of
the testator. This means a practical
cutting out of all the heirs of any par
ticipation in the estate.
The will also provides that any one
of the heirs contesting it shall be disin-
herited, and names James Carlow,
grocer, at No. 702 Buttonwood street, as
executor, and William w. Crawford,
grocer, of No. 90l ShallcrOss avenue, as
trustee.
The will is in the possession of Samuel
w. McCaulley, who is the attorney of
the :estator. There are nine heirs under
the will. There will be meeting of
those interested during the coming week
for the purpose of taking action in the
matter.

SURYIrED THE DELUGE.


News of Former WilmingtOnian who
Went Through the Sad Experience of
the Flood in williamsport.
j. Barton Cheyney, formerly of the
editorial staff of EVERY EVENING,
writes friend in this city that he has
come out of the Wllliamsport deluge
safely, after passing two days penned
up in his house by the torrents. Mr..
Cheyney, who makes his home with a
brother, DR.. Cheyney, writes that the
water in front his house, half a mile
from the river, was nine feet deep,
which, upon departing, left a heavy
coating of mud and filth in its wake.
This, it is feared, will make the city
very unhealthy during the summer.
The newspaper reports, according to
the letter, do not adequately picture the
devastation wrought by the flood, which
in figures will represent $5,000,000 loss.
All the lumber and logs having fioated
away, the chief sustaining industry of
the city is literally paralyzed, and busi-
ness for year will be practically stag
naut.
To add to the gloom of the situation a
case Of smallpox has developed in the
flooded district and the people living in
the immediate vicinity of the infected
house and those who were in daily con-
tact with the patient are scattered about
the city sheltered in various houses.

day from gentleman IN position to
know the facts that the published criti-
csms of the Presidents action in taking
his outing on the lighthouse tender Violet
are based on a Misrepresentation of the

It is stated on high authority that the
Presidents presence on the Violet did not
cost the government one cent. On the
contrary, the President, as he has always
done. paid full rates for himself and party.
The Violet on this trip distributed among
the lighthouses 100 cases of oil and other
supplies, which was a larger load than she
ever carried before. The trip which oc-
cupied two days less time than usual. was
made in the regular course of the Violets
