dedicated to Mr.. and Mrs. Earnest lie
Sturgeon on the death of their baby,
Ruth.
Fading and sweet was thine earthly
flower,
Fresh from the heart of Eden's hover.
Bright as thedew drop of the morn,
When trembling on the fragrant throne.
Pure as the lilies upon her breast,
We laid our darling down to resi-,
Those waXen hands that held crown,
Whose touch was soft as elder down.
Rnthie Eunice, we'll miss thee dear,
When twilighL's shades are drawing
near,
As homeward we turn from toll and care,
With thee the evening hour to share.
There is no Death! why should we fear,
When the dark Angel hoveretb near,
IT'S but the gloom of night that comes,
Before the glorious Rising Sun.
Beyond this weary phase of life,
Beyond the turmoil and the strife,
Though all the sorrows and cares that be,
A baby'S hand still guideth thee.
Then let US drop falling tear.
In memOry's casket they are dear,
And though our Rurhie'S passed away,
Well meet her 10 an endless day.

Will They Join Hands ?

NEW YORK, Feb. l4.-The BIZ
ennial Congress Of the National
Trotting association, which opened
here today, is an event Of especial
import this year. The men who
will gather from all parts Of the
country must decide once and for
all the vexed question which it
was impossible to pass upon at the
special Congress. When President
johnson calls the gathering to Or
der he will face perhaps as notable
a body of men as have ever been
gotten together in the Metropo-
lis. From Connecticut comes
ex-Gov. Buckley, from Wisconsin
Senator Mitchell, from Pennsvlva-
mia Congressman Sibley, and from
Massachusetts Col. Stearns. But
these are only few OF the nations
noted men who make the laws for
the trotting turf.
In March last a joint committee
from the National and American
Trotting associations met at the
Fifth Avenue hotel to formulate,
il possible, some common basis OF
reciprocal action on all matters af-
fecting the trotting turf. Chief
among the subjects discussed
were the questions as to what
should constitute a time record
and an amendment of the rules
governing distance. The following
month the same committee met in
Chicago, rediscussed these and
other questions and formulated
their conclusions for presentation
to their respective associations. In
May the biennial Congress Of the
American Trotting association
convened at Chicago. They
adopted all the amendments
and and recommendations of the
joint committee and published
them in a new code of rules, with
the understanding that Major p.
P. Johnson, president of the Ma
tional Association, should at once
call an extra session OF the latter
organization and take similar ac-
ton. This extra session met at
the Murray Hill hotel in June,
but instead of dealing first
with the tin cup record question
which was the most impOr-
tant, the congress started in on the
vexed question Of the proposed al
formation in the distance rules.
The congress was so evidently
packed with opponents to such al
formation that President Johnston
found itimpossible TO keep faith
with the sister association, and so to
get rid of the deadlock and to give
ample time for consideration the
whole matter was adjourned to
this meeting.

Price: SIS a Year.
Attacked by Three Lions.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. I4.-Carlo
Thieman, attendant of Colonel
Boone's Wild Animal show at the
Midwinter fair, was attacked by
three lions last night, and was
horribly mangled. He may die.
The evening performance had been
in progress about a half hour,
and the lions were ready to go on
their exhibition. The three huge
beasts were led into the cage by
Thieman, preparatory to Boone's
entrance. Suddenly the electric
lights went out for a short interval,
when suddenly shrek of agony
came from the cage, followed by a
roar, the enraged lions crunching
their terrible jaws and groans at
the man in the cage. In the midst
of the panic, lanterns We're brought
and Thieman was found lying in a
cage with beasts clawing at his
PROSTATE form. Col. Boone, with
great bravery, seized the iron bar
and entered the cage and finally
drove the beasts Off. Thieman had
been terribly bitten.

Will the Order DisbandP.

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-The grand
officers of the Order Of Germania
of this city are meeting today and
will decide whether TO continue
the society or go into bankruptcy.
The order is impoverished and un.
able to pay its death claims. I'm
less financial assistance is rem
dpred it will have to suspend. The
order has membership OF $500 Of
VIII ON about 800 are in Brooklyn.
The remainder live in this city,
Connecticut, New Jersey, Ohio,
Michigan ahd Illinois. 1t was or
ganized twenty years ago, and had
at one time 1000 members. The
death rate has been so high that
the members. have been unable to
pay the assessments, and the
order now owes $4,000 unpaid
death claims, while the capital on
hand is only $4,000 in United
States bonds, $l,074.62 cash, and a
claim of S3,76l.22 against ex-Col-
lector John Weiss. The grand Of
ficers are blamed for the failure OF
the order. 1t is claimed they have
suuandered the money. An agitat-
ing committee was sent to the
western states some time ago to
boom the order and get new men,

Congressional Proceedings.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. A.
Leaders on both sides in the Peck
ham contest are continuing their
efforts today in preparation for the
executive session tomorrow. The
best opinion obtainable is that the
session will not be so long as that
in which Hornblower's nominal
ton was considered, las the proceed
ings will not go on record, and
as only the senators can hear
the speeches there can be
no object in long speeches, except
to influence the senators, and it Is
believed by the time the session
begins there will be little or no
doubt as to how any Of the sena-
tors will stand. Opponents of the
confirmation are claiming from
four to six majority and there will
be six or eight changes from Horn
blower.

KID NASH WILL HANG.
The Supreme Court Refuses a Re
hearing and Nash Will Die.

SHREVEPORT, La, Feb. 4.-DiS-
trict Attorney Land today received
a dispatch from New Orleans an
nOuncing that the Supreme Court
had again sustained the vereict
rendered in the court here in the
Kid Nash case, refusing a rehear-
ing. Nash was convicted by a jury,
his case appealed and once re-
manded for a new trial.
The murder Of John McCort at
the FL Dorado saloon, in this city,
Dec. 70, 1898, by Ernest Nash and
st. Elmo Barnett, is a familiar
topic in this city, as we'll as the
state at large. The two men were
promptly indicted for murder, and
ON April 26, 1898, were arraigned
and tried amid the deepest inter-
est. On April 80 they were con-
vict0d, and Nash sentenced to suf-
fer the death penalty and Barnett
to Imprisonment for life. A motion
for "A new trial was overruled May
Ia, 1893, and an appeal taken to
the Supreme court. On June 10,
1898, the higher court affirmed the
verdict rendered. Subsequently, at
Opolousas, a rehearing was grant.
ed, resulting eventually in the case
being remanded for a new trial. On
Sept. 10, 1893, after grand legal
battle, participated in by District
Attorney Land and Hon. w. H.
Wise, for the prosecution, and
Judge A. w. o. Hicks and NJ. G.
ElStner, Esq, for the defence, a
severance was granted, and Nash
was again tried for his life. On
Sept. 81, 1893, again a second
jury found the prisoner guilty Of
murder in the first degree. A mo-
ton for a new trial was made and
overruled. Again, on being sem
fenced, the case was appealed to
the Supreme court, Oct. 3, 1898. On
Oct. %, at their session in this city,
the case was submitted on briefs
and taken under advisement. 1t
was argued again as motion for a
rehearing, and there the case rested.
This last decision shut the door to
any further effort, and Kid Nash
must hang unless the governor in
tervenes.

Another Damaging Fire.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Feb. IA. - Fire

ing in the Colonnade, between the
Agricultural building and Ma
chinery hall, at the Worlds Fair
grounds. 1t gained rapid head
way, and the fire department.
available in the district, was called
out. Three alarms quickly fol-
lowed each other, and all the
available fire engines in Wood
lawn and Hyde Park were
soon hurrying to the scene. The
drifted snow in the grounds
made the work Of the firemen slow,
and before sufficient streams were
directed towards the burning
structure, its timbers were crack
ing in, rapidly spreading the
blaze. The fire was first
seen about a hundred yards
west Of the part which burned
last week. 1t was inside Colon
made and the skirting of the south
end of the canal, separating the
agricultural building and the ma.
chinery hall. The fire was west of
the centre line and nearer ma
chinery hall, stating at the point
nearly back of the Egyptian ODE.

west through Colorado, covering a
distance of eighty feet.

Congressional Purity.

A timely provision is that recently
presented to Congress by Populist
from Nebraska named Allen. He says
It is calculated "to preserve the purity
Of national legislation" He proposes
to bring it about by providing that
none of our dignihed Senators or Rep
rcsentatives shall hereafter be permit
ed to deal in speculative stocks, bonds,
&c, whose value may be enhanced by
their own votes. This is straight for
ward cut and direct blow at his COL
leagues and comrades in Congress as
sembled, and, being one calculated in
a measure to retrench and diminish
their perqusites, we are afraid the bill
will die before it is born, while its
would-be parent is apt to die in child
birth for want Of sympathy and proper
nursing and Congressional "pap."
Worst of all, Mr.. Allen has been so
imprudent as to afiix penalty to his
righteous provision which if applied to
the offending statesmen would put
him out of Congress and leave him at
home and in Jail. Viewing the bill and
its holy purport through unbiased
spectacles it looks too radical for its
own salvation especially when you
come to consider that Mr.. Allen can
only cast one vote against all the rest
in Congress. And you know they
don't believe in sumptuary laws of
this kind. AS we have already intimat-
ed we have gave apprehension that
this lovely infant will die before it is
born.

Last December Mr.. P. ". Ash, one
Of the energetic and progressive
farmers of Fishingcreek township pur-
chased five head of young cattle of
Ira Sutllff, of Paramount Springs, their
average weight being SIS pounds each.
He began feeding them Dec. 10th,
1898, and when sold one day last
week, to A. w. McHenry, our emerge
tic butcher, their average weight was
oo3 pound each, a clear gain of zoos
pounds. This is another convincing
proof that it pays the farmer to feed
his grain to cattle. In addition to
the increase in weight, which amounts
to handsome net profit, he has the
manure which is ofthe first importance
to the successful farmer as a means of
enriching his lands and increasing its
p,oductiveness. --Benton 1rgttS.
