But the clock struck one, and quar-

three-quarters. and Lucien was
still seated at the Internal table. At

arose brusquely and cried in a loud
voice:
"rhe bank is broken, gentlemen.
Enough for tonight"
Lucien sprang up with a bound.
Roughly pushing aside the players who
surrounded him and gazed at him with
curious admiration, he dashed down
stairs and ran in the direction of the
bench stone. From a distance, by the
light OF a street lamp, he saw the little
girl.

He went up to her and took her hand
How cold she is, poor little thing!"
He took her in his arms and lifted her

fell back but she did not wake.

Strangled with an agony Of horror,

4 LOVE SONG.

O when shall love his silent Lutte awaken
Alone he sits all day in his cold halls:
His idle hands beside the strings un-
shaken.
His lids downcast whereon the gray
light falls.
Thou, too, my heart, grow dumb and
weary waiting,
In thy still chamber heedst not the day
O when shalt thou, with tender love di-
lating.
Burst forth in song, and. as OF old, be
gay?
o loves awake; awake with idle dream
ingl
His laughing lutte with melody resouuds
With glad new songs those silvery strings
are teeming,
Their music swells to earths remotest
bounds,
My hearts awake; no more no more with
sleeping!
II thrills again to loves Inspiring strains
The sun bursts through-the sky no more
is weeping.
And summers swallow skins the fiowery
plains.

What the Helena Business College
Is Doing For the City.

No one outside OF those who are ac-
lively Interested in school matters have
any idea how much a city or states
prosperity is due TO the character OF
the schools which IL supports, OF course.
we all know that good schools induce Inn
migration and hold II, but the money
which is thrown into the local channels

Is quite different. One OF the best evil
dences OF the change is the prosperity
which is attending the Helena Business
College under the able management of
Prof II. T. Engelhorn. Thus the money
which would be sent out of the state for
the education of these young people is
kept at home and Helena people reap
the benefit OF having a first class col

Horrible Details Of the Brutal Treatment
Of CamerOOns Captives.
BERLIN, April ia weekly journal
publishes extracts from the diary of a
German resident of the Cameroons,
which fully bear out the charges that
have been made against certain of the
German officials in that country. A
great portion of the extracts printed are
devoted to accusations against the officials
at Bakoko, whom the writer charges
with gross cruelty.
The diary contains entries showing
that Herr Wehlan, the Governors cub
stitute, who led an expedition against
the natives, issued an order to his sub.
ordinates directing that the throats of all
the old women who fell into their hands
be cut.
The other natives who were 30 unfor-
tunate as to be captured were conveyed
on shipbosrd, where they were bound to
the rail of the vessel. The thongs that
held them were drawn 30 tight that in
many instances when the flesh began to
swell they cut deep into the legs and arms
Of the prisoners.
No attention was paid to the appeals OF
the miserable natives to be released from
their torture. They were entirely unpro.
tected from the weather, and, exposed as
they were to the tropical heat, their
wounds festered and then breeded mag
gots. The frantic appeals Of the miser.
able wretches for water to quench their
consuming thirst were brutally refused.
The full details of the treatment of these
captives are horrible. When the prison.
ers were half dead they we're shot down
like wild beasts.
1t is reported that the offending gov.
ernor has been removed.

question which will confront the stock
holders is the matter of reducing the
board OF directors from nine to seven:
Ever since the company was organized
there have been nine directors, but last
July w. H. Corning and Joseph +.
French, both of whom reside in Cleve-
land, Ohio, rendered their designations,
being dissatisfied with the manner in
which President Greenhut and other
officers administered the affairs during
the troublous period. The designations
were promptly accepted by the board 4,
and it was decided to continue the BUSH
ness with seven directors.
The election this year will be unusual
in that it will be double election. The
stockholders will first decide how many
directors they will have, and secondly,
who those directors shall be. The term
Of President Joseph B. Greenhut. OF this
city, and ]. W. Frieburg, Of Cincinnati,
expire. Mr.. Greenhut has been presi-
dent since the formation OF the company,
and lie a candidate for reelection. 1t is
not deemed probable that there will be
any decided opposition to him. A few
brokers in New York have been busy for
month collecting proxies to be used
against the present management, but il
is thought the movement will not assume
great dimensions.

Crime on the Galiows.
FREDERICTON, N. B., April 2O.-Judge
Bark on January % sentenced the deaf
mute, Edward M. Wheary, to be hanged
today for the murder of his sister n-law,
Bertha Wheary. The crime was com
mitted few miles from here on Septem-
Der 81 last. Mrs. Wheary's people had
gone to prayer meeting, and left the deaf
mute and Mrs. Wheary in the house to
gether. When Bertha's husband re-
turned a couple Of hours later he found
her lying on the floor in pool of blood
with her skull crushed and her limbs and
body horribly gashed. Near the body
blood stained axe was found. Suspicion
pointed at once to the deaf mute, but
when arrested he denied any know ledge
Of the crime, and has done so all through
the trial. 81 am innocent OF the crime
and don't know who committed it," he
spelled on his fingers on sentence day
The judge then passed the sentence OF
death, which the interpreter repeated to
the prisoner. Mrs. Wheary was about
to give birth to child at the time of her
death. In his address to the jury Judge
Barker said that really two lives had
been taken by the murderer. Wheary
does not appear to realize his position.

STRIKERS GAINING GROUND
Claim TO Have Added 1900 Men to the
Idle List.
EXPECT 1 STILL LARGER ADDITION
The New President Issues 4 Circular In
Which be Counsels Peace and Z
Due Respect for The Law.

UkIoNTowN, Pa, April l9.-The coke
strikers claim that 1900 men and 1000
ovens have been added to the idle list,
and that there will be q much larger ad-
dition before the end of the week. The
operators admit that the strike is almost
as strong as ever.
The strikers made q great showing
yesterday marching about the southern
part Of the district. They have a system
of signals by fires on the hilltops that
puzzles the operators.
More than 1000 strikers massed at
Oliver yesterday morning. John Poach-
mex was sick and did not want to go along.
The strikers said he was only feigning
sickness, and, breaking in his door, beat
him until he joined them. Then they
slit one of his ears with a penknife.
Poachnek marched with the men all
day.
The strikers we're headed by band OF
ten pieces. They marched four deep,
and carried large American flag. At
many ovens the wives of the men at
work warned their husbands to fee from
the strikers. Rioting was unnecessary,
as the large body of strikers 30 COM
pletely terrorized those at work that

At the Redstone works of the Frick
Company, six of the strikers were ar
rested by deputies. They were wanted
on charges Of ipciting riot, and no resist
ance was made. All were sent to Jail,
and the column marched on. The color
bearer was among the number arrested,
and he took his big flag to jail with
him.
Tomorrow the same forces will meet
again and march into the northern end
of the district. The strikers assert that
only few workers in the southern end
will return to work after yesterday e
scare. II they do, violence is promised.
Michael Barrett, the new president oil
the strikers, has issued q circular letter
which ended thus: "Do not break the
law. If you strike, stay at home and
don't forget that you are Christians and
citizens lin fact or in prospects), and lei
your actions prove that you can be both
and still be striker"
