Pullman's Prayer.

Our Father who art in Washing
ton, Grover Cleveland be thy name,
thy kingdom come to America and
thy will be done in the I. S, as it
is in England. Give us plenty of
workingmen's votes to keep mopoly
in power and its friends on office.
We know, our Father, that we have
done many things that were wrong
We have robbed the honest poor
and brought distress to many a door.
We know it was wrong to fund the
bonds and make them payable in
coin. We know it was wrong to
water our stocks, but thou knowest
we make money by them. Now,
Father, thou knowest we are above
all politics; that it is the same with
US whether Democrats or Republic
ans rule. For thou knowest we are
able to swing either party i'll our
favor. Lead us not into the way of
the strikers, and deliver us from the
A. r. IT,, and thus we shall hold
the Kingdom, bonds, interest, power
and gold until the Republic shall
end. Amen.

Cause of the Dark Days.

From the New York Times.
For days recently the sun looked like Q
japanese lantern hung in the sky. and in
spite of clouds and haze many Of us grow
weary OF cooking for rain. There Is no
mystery about these dark days, for the for
est fires fully account for them. Neverthe-
less special observations have been taken
throughout the country, and wise men are
studying the dust collected from the air,
and hope 10 make some important discov-
cries. II will surprise you tOknow how far
the smoke and haze may eXtend-"haH way
across the ocean to Africa" says an author
ity who has seen IL at that distance. In
spite of the knowledge Of the vast fires
burning all around us, the darkness has
caused some uneasiness, IL we may believe
the reports from some towns and villages.
Those who are easily frightened should be
told Of the dark day in 1880 and OF sturdy
Abraham Davenport who told the Con-
nectcut legislature, when IL wanted to adj
journ, thinking the day of Judgment had
come. that even II IL were so. IL would be
well to be found Going their duty. not shirk-
ing from It. You should read Whittier'0
poem describing the scene.

The kings palaces cover nearly one thou

high as a two-story house runs around

kept for royalty alone, and only kings and
princes are supposed to go through 1t. see

Through the Back Door.
This is how 1t happened. The Corean
officials. who put On great airs, have been
trying to lessen the rank of foreigners in
the eyes of the people. They have made a
back entrance to the palace for them. and
they proposed to inaugurate this by thus
letting in our new minister, Mr.. Sill, who
had arrived in Corea during my stay Min
lister Sill, however, refused to accept their
proposition. He said he represented the
President of the United States, and that
our President was as big as any king on
the globe. If there was a gate for kings
ne thought he ought to go through it. and
he sent word to the department that he
would come at the time appointed to this
big gate, and If he was not admitted there
he would return to his legation This mes

NEW YORK, May 'S.-The jury in
lhe case of Dr. Henry c. F. Meyers,
who is charged with poisoning Ludwig
Brandt, has returned Il verdict of MUIR
der in the second degree. The penalty
Is Imprisonment for life. When DR..
Meyer was brought into court just be-
fore the hour for opening, his face had
the same yellow, slckly hue as it had
always shown, and there was a look of
sleeplesSness in his eyes. To questions
of a reporter. he, however. spoke up
quite cbeerfully. saying:
Good morning." i'll the most matter

Did you sleep well last night!?" was
asked.
NO, l did not have much time to
sleep" was the reply, "but3 slept all
right"
He had not seen his wife, he said.
"She is III another department of the
prison, you know" he added in explain
alton.
Shortly afterwards DIR. O'Sullivan
and Mr.. Brooke, counsel for Dr. Meyer,
arrived. Then the jury filed into the
court room and took their seats in the
ury box. Recorder Smyth entered al
most at the same moment and Clerk
Penny called cut the names of the
jurymen. While this was gong on,
Meyer walked leisurely up to the CEN
ter of the court room and took his
usual seat in the midst of his counsel.
He did not exhibit any sign of having
heard that the jury mad agreed Oh a
verdict.
Gentlemen. have you agreed on a
verdict" asked Clerk Penny.
Yes, we have" replied Foreman
John W. WerSebe.
How say you? Is the prisoner, Henry
{. +. Meyer. guilty or not guilty?"
Meyer, who, III accordance with the
rules Of tine court, Was standing facing
the jurymen, f1rtively scanned their
faces, as if anxious to read their
thoughts and his fate, almost before
tHe OuiilOuS WoTuS cOulu Idll from the
Foreman'S lips. Foreman Wersebe hes
tated moment and looked toward the
recorder, evidently not wishing to look
at the unfortunate prisoner. Then he
said:
I'VE find him guilty of murder in the
SECOND degree"
The moment these words were uttered

put the court room. and Meyer sat down
Dill his chair, utterly ereStfalleH. His
bands twitchcd nervously, ana his
whole appearance showed plainly that
ne was disappointed at the verdict Mr..
Brooke made Il motion for new trial,
ehd the recorder gave him two weeks to
ile his reasons. This will act as stay
Of sentence, and Meyer will probably
receive his punishment Tor life in the
