To the Editor of the Dispatch:

The title Of these verses may seem
quite commonplace, but we think them full
of the truest pathos and gentlest senti-
ment. Do they not tell a touching. ten
der story OF a true and loving heart?
"Jim's Story Is one well-known in hui
man experience. In fact, 1t is "the old,
old story 80 often told in truth and fic-
tion-the very same from creations dawn.
1t matters not at all II Jim was only
the hired man." he was alike the subject
for pity and envy. All men have not
found IL in their hearts to rise to such
supreme heights of devotion. The emo
bling passion of the heart is not limited to
bond or free. TO high or low degree.
1 do not think that either Sir Trlstram
or Cir Launcelot were more lofty In in
tent or nobler. truer in heart than our
plain, honest Jim. as he listened from
under the rim Of his hat" Had the sick
maiden been In good health, with youths
warm blood rushing through her veins,
she may have returned Jim's humble devo-
ton to the same extent and measure as
did Queen Guinevere, the knlghtly love Of
Launceiot.
Jim's earnest wishing for such natural
but homely recognition furnishes picture
of true devotion. and tells a true hearts
story-slmple. faithful. abiding-yea! the
purest heart-worshlp, fully worthy Of the
truest. bravest. noblsst OF his sex. True
love is no respector OF persons and has
all seasons for its own. Jim seems to
think that he never cared for a girl that
was WELL" but only for the dying maiden.
He thus expresses himself:
For they jist creep into hired mans
heart
When the leaves turn red and the brown
burrs part"
Much of the nobleness OF n true passion
may be shown in the devotion OF the
strong for the weak. This made Jlm's
love truly on the heroic order.
And now, since Jim has so deeply i'm
pressed me with the silent, suffering
quality of his devotion, I regret that she
never once during her lifetime called
him JIM" Such, doubtless, would have
helped to console and reconcile him to her
untmely demise. Tennyson truly wrote
the loving words, Sweet as remembered
kisses after DEATH" How often he Uim)
would have recalled the dear, soothing
fact Of her calling him jim"
Yet, forsooth, the very thoughtless and
busy world wags on all the same, neither
needing the disconsolate Jim nor the dead
maiden.
Sill we are prone to believe there are
very many men and women who are all
the better for having heard and f-,t the
simple gentle truth Of "Jlms Story"

over the dear old days. With saddened
voices they spoke Of griefs which had come

Yesterday Governor Markham wired
from Los Angeles the following reply to
the letter addressed to him by the Rail-

To IL. K1lor and Others Of the Commit
tee: Your dispatch received and contents
have been carefully noted. We're it pos
sible tor me to be in Sacramento in per-
son, could thereby judge for myself OF
the situation.
No warning was given TO me that a
peaceful visit to my home for day or
two would be thus constituted enforced
absence. There is no train man on any
California railroad that knows me per-
sonally but what can say that have al
ways been his friend, and | believe that
the trainmen have been mine.

Yesterday were not of peaceful nature.
The Government of the United States,
through It's legal representative, has
legally demanded of me protection; and
while [ may think as little OF the Pull
man Company as any of your number,
do not believe that innocent parties in
California should be made to suffer IN
this matter, and especially the laws aud
dignity of this State set at naught.
So long as your people refrain from un-
lawful acts, [ will sustain you, but my
duty to this State is superior TO all other
claims upon me, and so far as it lies in
my power our laws shall be obeyed and

A notice was posted on the east end of
the depot yesterday. and signed by IL. j.

notice.
One of the soldiers was heard to say last
night that the last words spoken to him
by his father were that he should not
raise his rifle against the strikers. The
militiaman said he was going to obey his
father and would refuse to do whatever
he might be ordered to do in the way of
suppressing the strikers by force.
The large storm doors on the east end
of the depot were closed by the strikers
last evening, and men were detailed to
keep them closed. Some of the strikers
said such action was taken to prevent the
entrance in the depot of the soldiers.

The Fourth of July rarely, if ever,
passes in this era of Chinese explosives
without some one being injured or killed.
Yesterday was no exception to the rule.
There were number of accidents of more
or less severity resulting from explosives.
but the worst was that suffered by little
girl named Ida Rippon. whose parents
are said to live at Twelfth and Z streets.
While out viewing the fireworks in the
evening q rocket-stick four feet long and
ree-.ourths of an inch thick struck her.
in its descent. upon the back of the head.
1t was a glancing blow, and the stick
plowed an ugly cash through the child's
scalp and down TO her shoulders.
Had it struck her few inches farther
forward it would have gone completely
through her head. AS it is, the child is
seriously injured. She was taken to
Tuit's drug store, at Tenth and j streets,
where DR.. Gardner dressed the wound.
