THE BELLS IN MsMoRy,s TOWER.

They tell US at tines In calm of the sea,
Afar from the whispering breath OF the land,
Brave sailor can hear tho bells pealing Free
Which greet him with JOY when he touches
the strand.
Enraptured he lists TO the musical notes.
All melted TO tears with pleasure they bring,
As deep in the sky the melody floats
The bells In life's tower, coincident ring
Fond notes OF gladness. OF hope and of love,
From childhood TO present. they bring,
And beauty and bliss in the skies above
And the hopes Of youth they ringl
Likewise in desert all dreary and lone.
Bold pilgrim awakes from dreamings most
dear,
To hear the sweet chimes from infancy known
Repeat their pure promises. cadent and clear.
The sunshine ablaxe in stiffness profound
Seems waiting voice OF angels that sing.
When. startled, he heard the fairylike sound
The bells OF the past in blessedness ring
Afar on the air, like fragrance OF love,
Still follows the song angels sing,
For bells OF the past, sweet Ginning above,
The pleasures of our childhood ring
All, thus in the days that ever may come,
In calm of the sea or wilderness wild,
When exiled from JOY and comfort OF home,
May music be ours tnat greeted the child.
May bells of the town CT village peal out
Remembrance OF faith 10 which we can cling,
So conquering dresd and desolate doubt,
While ever OF hope and beauty they ring.
For thoughts of the past are flowers divine,
Ihat await us, we trust, in spring.
So, when calm OF sea or desert shall shine,
May the bols % memory ringl

THE ANARCHIST BILL.
Strong Effort Being Made to Pass II
During the Present Session.
BY the Associated Press.

|
WASHINGTON, Aug. H.-Strenuous ef-
forts are being made to pass the bill
against "alien Anarchists" before Con-
gress adjourDs. Secretary Carlisle and
Commissioner of Immigration Stump are
very desirous OF having this law as a
protection against the five hundred or
more anarchistsI recently. expelled from
foreign countries and now en- route here.
The treasury officials have the consent of
Speaker Crisp and the House managers.
but thus far it has been impossible
to steer the bill past the
objections OF Representative Warner
of New York and others, who in the abb
sence OF quorum have prevented the pas
sage of the Senate bill. When Mr.. War
ner sidetracked the bill today efforts
were at once made to get consent by tele-
graph from Mr. Reed for special rule
bringing the bill to vote.
IL this is obtained the speaker and Mr..
Catchlngs will frame the rule.
Mr.. Warner is not the only one ready to
object to the bill. Representative Gold
zier OF Chicago says the measure is ill-cop
sidered and that ii makes no provision
for designating who are anarchists and
subject to summary deportation without
trial. Mr.. Goldzier to-day sent the fol-
lowing inquiry to the Secretary of the
treasury:
In view of the pendency of Senate bill,
2l3i which as am informed was prepared
by you, desire for use in House your
as used in said bill. In other words, de-
sire an outline of the construction, which
under your direction the department
would place you upon this term in case
this bill was passed"

MORE ERRORS.
Grave Mistakes from Punctuation in
The German Bill.

WAsHISoToN, Aug. 2i.- Additional err
rors in punctuation in the now tariff bill
are constantly being discovered by the
treasury officials. Today an i'm
portant mistake was found I'm
section +, free list. This section
provides that articles OF foreign
manufacture must be stamped with the
name ofthe countryof origin and then says,
"and pntil so marked, stamped, branded
or labeled shall not be delivered to the inn
porter, should any article OF imported n,er-
chandise be marked stamped, etc, In
excess OF the quantity actually contained
I'm such article, ETC." IL is assumed that
there should have been period placed be-
tween the words importer" and
" should" but as there is none the para
graph as 1t now stands is unintelligible
and may lead TO serious EN- mbarassment in
its execution.
Up TO this time Secretary Carlisle has
requested no opinion from the Attorney
General upon any OF the many errors in
the bill and probably will not do so until
after the bill becomes law. The
ho"cNefs Hh5 eApresseu
the opinion that all goods
now in bond which have been changed
from the dutiable to the free list will be
subject to the duty i'm force when i'm
ported, II withdrawn for consumption.
The goods can, however be ex-
ported and then be reimported and
then, receive the benefits of free list.
1t is known, however, that this was not
the intention ofiCongress. Early in the
of the bill this question was
raised, but the words "or withdrawn
for consumption (which appear in the
enacting clause, were then deemed to
clearly indicate that goods in bond could
be Withdrawn at the new rates. But the
true significance OF the words sand men,
toned in the schedules herein contained
which follow do not seem TO have been
fully understood.

AN AWFUL SIGHT
That Greeted the Head Of Family
When He Returned Home.


PrTsBURG, Aug. H.--Thomas Harris OF
Clemens where he had bocn for his health.
lie found his home closed and after con-
siderable trouble broke in. lie found the
dead and decomposed body of his wife on
the bed and by her side slept their two
children, aged and 4 years respectively.
The woman died last Thursday from hem
orrhages, and the bed was saturated with
blood. The neighbors supposed that the
family was away. The children are i'm
precarious condition from lack of food
and breathing the contaminated atmos-
phere 80 long.
Letters found on the bodies indicated
the names OF the persons. One OF the
letters written by the woman was ad-
dressed to n. Fournier, 35l South Fourth
street, Brooklyn, and ran as follows:
Pardon me; l am desperate and prefer
10 die"
There was also letter to her mother
and another signed by her and the man
rs is supposed 1t was directed to the
city authorities,- 1t read
"We die in perfect health and with clear
minds. We die for love and are happy.
We wish no Autopsy TO be held on our
bodies and desire that both shall be
buried in one grave. We are both free
thinkers and do not care in what cemetery
we are buried"
From the position OF the bodies, when
found, il wes apparent that Demarcus
had shot the woman before killing him
self, she laid face downward on the ground
and his body had fallen across hers, also
face downward.

WARNER WILL OBJECT.

BD The Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21. Representative
Warner OF New York, who objected to
Senator Hills bill for the deportation of
Anarchists when it was called up in
the House, said that he will
renew his objections whenever the
attempt to pass the bill msy be made.
His objections to the measure are that il
places the indictment, trial and
sentence of citizens in the hands of
administrative officers and on information
alone. Under it, he asserts, the harmless
men who give voice to anarchistic vapor-
ings would be seized while the really
dangerous and murderous characters
would not be spprehended.
