FIRST FIRE ON THE HEARTH.
Eacredness in the Blaze That Is the Seal
and Sign of Home

Gacredness in the Blaze That Is the Seal
and Sign of Home
What Joy we all find it! How we
like to collect the sticks for that fire, il
we are where sticks are to be collected;
how we like to oversee its building;
how all of us have advice to offer and
instruction to give; how we must all
lay on our especial contribution; how
favored is the one who may touch of
the flame at last! If we are by the sea
we have gathered driftwood for it this
many day and have dried Il in the
hot noon suns for this very evenings
blaze, when it shall I'LL the room with
flames Of emerald and ruby, sapphire
and Spanish topaz, and we shall hear
in its singing over dropping coal and
ash, in its roaring up the chimney, the
sound of storm and rushing wave in
the midst of safety, and point our
pleasure with the tragedy Of the last
sigh and smothered cry of drowning
sailors. And we sit and tell tales of
horror and shipwreck and ghostly
visitant till the flame falls and leaves
us chill as the ghosts that have trailed
their garments by. And if it is in the
countryside we sojourn, then what
equal wonders we see in the dear
blaze, as it sends out it's warmth and
cheer on the cool morning air, or on
the evening gloom when the heavy
dews warn US all indoors! For there
are burning all the spices and frag-
RANGES and sunshine and colors con-
densed from the hot months.
We look at its luSters much as those
old voyagers might have looked at the
splendid conhagration when the ships
were burning behind them; we we'll

flowers. But we know it Is only be-
cause we know we are going forward
to new pleasures that we can feed and
face the flames so gladly. And If we
have gone back to the city, and it is
there that we have put the blaze to-
gether on the little hearth in the back
parlor, or on the big one in the big
hall, then it is like kindling fire upon
an altar, it is the recognition of home;
on the shrine of domestic life we offer
to our lares and penates sacrifice of
all the joys of summer-perhaps with
half-conscious prayer that the hearth
may not be bare in any other home in
all the cold months to come And as
we watch the flames shine and soar
and flash up he chimney and disappear
among the eternal stars, we know it is
all mirror of the transformations of
life and death, and so find a new sa-

allowed to enter a sisters cell, neither
man nor woman, the invalid had been
carried to the promenading hall, open

with emblems of the church, pictures

physician knew the restrictions of the

that he would not be allowed to see the
patients face, or even her tongue, and
that he must content himself with feel

many, the French looked elsewhere for
an opportunity of regaining their lost
military prestige. 1t was evident to
every Frenchman that If Italy stood
alone she could easily be crushed by
the overwhelming numbers of the
French army. France could thus gain
military glory, new territory and a
rrady-made feet.
iicre then is a glorious opportunity
waiting for the armies of France, and
nothing but that pestilent Triple Alli-
auce stands in the way. This is the
whole secret of the growth and vio-
lence of French hatred toward Italy.
France wishes to wage war in which
victory would be reasonably certain.
France wants the superb Italian feet,
the possession of which would give her
an over whelming naval preponderance
in the Mediterranean. France wants
to destroy Italian unity, so us to rem
der any future triple alliance impos-
sble; and to strengthen the attach
ment of French Catholics to the repub-
lie by restoring the temporal sover-
eighty of the pope. And nothing, so
the French believe binders this desir-
able consummation except the fact
that behind the army of Italy are
ranged the armies of Austria and Ger
many.-W. L. Alden, in the Nineteenth
Century.

the question, especially as only the alb

it happened, the ubbess knew nothing

saws he saw several sisters on this occa-

words to him. Even the sister ianitreas
failed to answer his greetings and
questions except by written words.

A WOMAN IN TT.
Another Official Scrap Mt Denver
GOV. Waite and His Police Com
mfssiOners Under Arrest.

Denver, Aug. z9.-The arrest of Gov
ernor Waite and the officials of the police
department this morning on a charge of
OBTAINING and opening letters intended
for ex-Police Matron Likens has not
caused much excitement, being gener-
ally regarded as mere political ruse.
The Populists who are working to
prevent the denomination of Governor
Waite declare that the Republicans who
desire to have the governor renominated,
believing him to be the weakest candidate
that the Populists can name, caused his
arrest for the purpose of arousing
sympathy for him in his party and
stampeding the convention for him.
On the other hand the Republicans say
it is purely a political fight between the
Cleveland whitening Democrats and the
Populists.
The letter in question was enclosed in
an envelope addressed to the "Police
Matron, Denver" and was opened by
Matron Dwyer.

WILL BENEFIT Ell PASO.
Features of the New Tariff Bill That
Will Increase Local Trade.

In local article several days ago the
Times pointed out the advantages to be
derived by Ell Paso from the recently en-
acted tariff bill, as relating to silver-lead
ore, tobacco and live stock. But there
are other articles that enter this port in
large quantities.
On rough marble, for instance, of which
inexhaustible quantities are said to exist
near the city of Juarez, the duty has been
reduced from 65 cents to so cents per
cubic foot; while on dressed marble the
reduction Is from $1.1O to rs cents per
cubic foot. manufactures of onyx the
duty is reduced from so to 45 per cent ad
valorem.
The duty on beans is changed from so
cents per bushel to 20 per cent ad val
orem. Eggs that formerly paid cents
per dozen will now pay but cents. On
grapes the new bill imposes duty of 20
per cent ad valorem instead of 60 cents
per barrel as formerly. The duty on dis
titled liquors, except as otherwise speci-
fed, has been reduced from $3.50 to l.SO,
while still wines pay under the new law
30 cents per gallon instead of so as here.
tofore.
Precious stones, including opals, in
which this town enjoys large trade, ex.
perience rise instead of reduction.
The Mckinley bill providesa ten per cent
advalorem duty, while the new law i'm
poses 25 per cent duty.
Discussing the new tariff bill with a
San Antonio reporter Collector Fitch, of
Eagle Pass, said:
"The expectation Of lead ore from
Mexico is practically prohibited under
the Mckinley bill, the duty being ~
cents per pound. The new bill re-
stores the duty to a cents per pound.
This big decrease in duty will cause the
development of many mines III Mexico
that are n ow dormant, and may lead to
the establishment of smelters in San An
tonic and other border towns on this
side of the Rio Grande. This will prob
ably be the result unless the Mexican
government places an export tax on the
ore as protection and encouragement to
the smelters of that country"
Gentlemen we'll posted in Mexican mat
ters say that there is no probability of
such an export duty, as President Diaz
wisely desires the interchange of pro-
ducts that such expectation encourages.
