TIE RESCUE.

The shades of night had fallen over
the little village of s.. Alban. The
post office was closed, the trades people
had locked mp their shops and gone to
their homes The farmers mad fed
their stock an l made everything secure
for the night. The inhabitants of the
little village were quietly resting after
day of uueventiul toll.
The feeling Of spring was in the air
and the people rejniced that the time
of the singing of birds had come, and
that the seed-time was so near at hand
All was quiet and peaceful. None
thought of danger. There was nc
sound save that of the st. Anne river
as it flowed swiftly on.

4 TIP TO TIE THIEF.

The smallest incident, which, to most
people, seems too insignificant to no.
tice, has often caused the capture of a
criminal or the detection of a plot
All things are important to certain
people. A man tried his door the 9TH
er day to see whether it was locked,
and caused a crime.
He and his wife were preparing to
60 to the theatre. There was nobody
else in the house. His wife glanced
out of the window and saw man
standing in the shedow of tree across
the street She thought nothing of it
at the time. As they they were leav-
ing the house the husband clicked the
latch of the door, as usual. As they
walked up til, woman's eye again fell
upon the motionless form in the shad-
ow Of the tree.
She became suspicious.
"DiG you lock the door when you
came ou,?' she asked of her husband.
81 suppose so. | always do," he
said.
Hadn't you better make sure,
dear?"
"Oh, l am sure. It's all right"
"But won't you go back and see?
Pm afraid you didn't, and pG like to
be certain about it."
So he walked back and tried the
door. Of course it was locked, but his
wife's anxiety wassrelieved.
That simple act cost him great
deal. The man across the street had
not contemplated robbing that house
before, for he didn't know whether any
person was at home or not: When the
person who lived there went back to
try the door it satisfied him that no one
was in it. He crept back the alleyway,
pried open rear window and helped
himself to the contents of the silver
closet. And he wouldn't have done it
except for that triiling, natural incident
that told him SO much.-PhiadeIphia

way the wreckase so that it may come
quickly to the land. A dozen men on
either side grasp the gunwales of the
boat and fairly lift 1t high upon the
shore. The mother springs forward
and hugs her children to her breast.
Then such a cheer-such a shout of
rejoicing goes up to Heaven as was
never heard before in that little towr.
The father tells the people how he
found his children, and points with lov-
ing pride to his little Helena, saying:
awe have lost our home, but our babies
are saved; thank God for such daugh-
ter.
Helena looks up into her mother
face and says: Mamma, 1T rained SO

MISPLACED.

1t is curious fact that success is
sometimes won by those who have no
enthusiasm for the profession they
follow. Franny Kemble was by no
mears fond of acting, and would glad
have left the stage earlier, had not Cir
cumstan ces bound her there.
A brilliant young violinist played
one day for Mrs. Gladstone, and the
latter said to her:
"Is there anything you care more
for than your Stradivarius?'
the young lady colored little
.'The violin is no. an absorbing pas
sion with me" she replied, modestly.
"Perhaps you have artistic talent?"
the hostess suggested.
"Indeed, l have not" was the honest
response. "'But Mrs. Gladstone, love
to cook. l really believe l could make
chef, if had the opportunity to prac-
tice"

"ONCE." "

From the German of Ernst !Scherenberg.
Once, when the farest days went round,
My JOY in one dear hand found;
What wealth did that warm pressure hold!
All, still. be still.-the hand grew cold.
and once did ender lips for ME
'Uufold life's f.rest mystery;
Oh, now il but word might come.
All, still! be stil!-the mouth is dumb.
Once in the mnurnful stormy night
Two eyes met mine with cheering light;
How In their ray my heart reposed!
All, still. be still. the eyes are closed.
once throbbed amid the human swarm
A heart SO true, heart so warm!
On joy or pain alike we fed.
Ah, still. be still. the heart is dead.

THE ORIOLE.
ISAAC BASSET CHOATE.

When Flora's handmads throw
Over the orchard branches bare
A robe of pink and white so fair
1t rivals winters snow
In purity of unstained white
The cherry blossom gives to sight,
When in the pink upon the apple tree
So delicate and soft we family see
Fore CLEANS of summers glow;
Then do we fondly dream
OF golden sunlight on the hills,
Of laughter rippling from the rlls,
OF lilies on the stream;
Then squirrels racing without care,
Gay insects dancing in the air,
The low sweet song of Nature softly heard,
Croonel over lovingly by bee and bird,
A present rapture seem.
While we are lost in thought,
Or lost in wonder and surprise
At beauty opening TO our eyes
By Springs fair her.lds brought,
Are lost in dreams Of loveliness
Beyond our powers to express,
Upon sudden, startingly, behold!
A flashing gleam of crimson and of gold
Our wandering sight Las caught.
From lands where all the year
The sun burns with untempted glow
Where day by day the flowers blow
Nor cold of winter fear,
From groves made fair with orange bloom
And scented with that rich perfume,
While barely yet in Northern pine and fir
Do currents of the sap begin TO stir,
The orioe is here

That with his Let'ers-leather bound,
Most happy hours spend.

The Villas reached from Rome.
The Consuls visitors receive
His favor equally.
Each on level with himself
Is served most royalty
To sit at meat with such host
Is something to be priced.
And le,tuces and snails and sweets
Are not to be desplsed.
But souls are won from banqueting
TO feast upon perfume.

OF violets in bloom.
The blue sky bent with loving thought
To kiss the greening earth,
And where the kisses touched the sod
The violets had birth.
The portico is perfumed with
The incense of their breath,
As buds are wood to bloom by words
An angel whispereth.
Sweet violets, by spring convoked,
All bonneted in blue,

As blossoms drink the dew.

However long they stay.

Lead back the self-same way.

CoMMIssARY TO BE REopENED.

The Council Committees Decide to Fur.
nish tho benevolent Society With Funds
for Al While.
The commissary, which has been
closed for several days will be re-
opened, although the general system of
charity which has heretofore been in
vogue will not prevail. AS published in
yesterdays TINES, the finance and
street committees Of Council held a
meeting Tuesday night to consider this
uestion.
At tho meeting letter was read from
Mrs. Mccoy, president of the Union
Benevolent Society, the organization of
ladies which has conducted the com.
missary. Mrs. Mccoy asked that Coun-
Gil take some stops toward continuing
the work on the streets for awhile
longer.
After discussing the question freely,
the members OF the Two committees
decided to furnish the committee with
sufficient funds to provide provisions
with which to pay the men who will do
the street work. There is certain work
that has to be done on the streets, and
the money expended will be charged to
the street repair account.
About fifty men will be benefited by
this action.

The prospects are very encouraging
for grand race meet in Roanoke this
fall and some incidental races during
the summer. Several of the owners of
line horses here have been considering
the matter for some time, and are con-
6dent that very successful meeting
can be held this fall.
Linville Marders a noted horse
trainer, Of Lexington, KY, was COM
municated with, and, as the result of
some correspondence. arrived in Roa.
noke last night. He is very favorsbly
Impressed with the outlook for meet,
and says that If one Is held a number of
fine horses will be brought here from
Kentucky and possibly other States.
Mr. Marders is still young man, being
but rs years OF age, and has given nino.
teen horses RECORDS of from 2:lOH to
$50 Among these arc Blanche Louise,
2:loH; Isabelle, 2:22, Edna M, 2:22&;
Burlesque, 2:25H; Prince Egbert, 2:29.
The present idea of the gentlemen
VINO have charge OF the movement is to
have NUMB Der of races, both trotting
and running, during the summer months
ana end the season with grand meet
ing in the fall. Mr.. Marders will re-
main in Roanoke several days and if it
IS concluded to have the races will ship
numb Der OF dne horses here from Lex.
lngton. 1t has been several years since
kosnoko has had any good racing ana
tho lovers of horse flesh are taking
great interest in this movement
This city is we'll supplied with race
horses that can be gotten to condition
in short time. p. l. Terry owns two
standard bred colts by General
Wilkes" (2:2lI) and one by Sam
Purdy' (2:20H). These are very fast
and promising colts and will do good
work during the summer and fall.
Sam Purdy. Jr.," owned by Leo
Jamison, is very fast horse and will
give very good account of himself
during the meetings, while DR.. Leigh
Buckner's horse, "Wilfred," is consid-
cred one OF the finest in the South. J.
Allen Watts owns beautiful mare,
Ida" and j. G. Cassell's Lady Fox
hall' has record of 2:4OM. A r. Bow
Dire has a very fast horse which will be
put in training, and Lawrence Davis
possesses horse, by "Sam Purdy,"
which will also be put in service. w.
l.. I1nsley owns colt, by "Gambane ia, 3"
ana Clay Franklin also has a couple of
we'll bred colts. These will all be put
in training.
In addition to tho local horses M i.
Hairston, OF Patrick county, has q very
handsome fouryear old horse by
Prince Belmont" which will be
brought here. There are also some
thoroughbred running horses owned
here and in and near Fincastle, which
will participate in the races.
With all this talent there is no reason
why some very fine races should not be
held here in the near future.
The gentlemen at the head of the At
fair are enthusiastic over the matter
and are confident that an impetus will
be given to the sport.

Company, told TIMES reporter yester-
day that the prospects for work to begin

for the development Of the Magic City
and the vast stores of mineral wealth
that are lying dormant in the noun
tains near by, were never brighter

railroad attorney, "a large squad of men
at work along the line uncovering the
rich deposits of fine magnetic iron ore
that appears to be there in almost mex

who props Sc to build the road will begin
work, now that the right OF way has
been secured, just as soon as they can
see with their own eyes that this ore is

We have succeeded in finding the ore,
more of it than we ever hoped to see.
