At EVE.

'Tis twilight; the BIRDS and all nature are still
The saw and the hammer are dumb;
And hushed on yon hillside IL all save the rill-
It's over, the days busy hum.
HE TO the hammock, fond haven of rest,
In the orchard. thick studded with trees:
To capture untainted the nights balmy breath,
To cool In the nights gentle breeze.
Beneath me the flashlights OF glow.wormt
abound,
Above me the robins at rest;
The chirp OF the shy. shifty cricket aground,
lie all that betokens guest.
Who. touched by the respite that reigns over all
Can fall to be blessed by Its power?
Who, wishing for peace permeating his soul,
But finds this halcyon hour!
The ragings OF spirit may here find relief.
And pains OF the heart he assuaged;
For once 10 repinings our ears may he deaf,
And our comfort by nature be gaugcd.
oh. capture the blessing so 10th TO be lost
That lies In this hour divincl
Allow not to leave thee, though great be thu
cost,
This treasure, when once IL Is th!nei
oh. calm of the night. 80 rest over all
That thy peace after day dawn shall last;
Shall linger, unlapsing In force to enthrall
Unyiclding 10 hfe's bl!ghiing blast.

NOT TO BE OUTDONe.

A story, which, IL not absolutely vero
is at any rate sufficiently characteristic,
TO be considered ben trovato, Is now go
ing the rounds OF the clubs at the ex.
pense of well-kuown poet and critic
who Is not so hypercritical as To be un
able TO appreciate his own distinguished
services 10 literature. IL appears thai
the poet. in company with Mr.. II. C.
Bunuer, Mr.. Laurence Hutton and Mr.
Frank stockton, having visited the play
dropped in at Delmonico's for a light re-
past. The only tables left unoccupieC
In the cafe were those intended for two
persons; but the poet observed that two
Young men were seated at one OF IN,
tables meant for four, and going up tc
them, he asked whether they would be
and let him and his friends have theirs
u request TO which they very politely
acceded.
From the casual remarks dropped by
the two young men during the next half
hour and overheard by the partie carree,
il was discovered that they were Harvard
undergraduates down from Cambridge
for a day or two. Coffee and cigars hav-
ing now been reached, the poet in the
goodness OF his heart, and having 10
mind the courtesy Of the young men,
thought 10 himself what kindly act II
would be TO LET them know how distin-
guished group they had accommodated.
IL would be an experience memorable In
their life history, something 10 tell their
grandchildren about In after years. So
going over 10 the contiguous table, he
invited the aimable youths To join his
party and finish their coffee In his COM
pany.
"And IL gives me great pleasure TO In
troduce ourselves" he remarked IN his
most genial manner. II am Mr.. So-and-
go, and this is my friend, Mr.. Bunner,
the editor of Puck. This Is Mr.. Laur-
ence Hutton and this Is Mr.. Frank
stockton"
A faint and inscrutable smile stole
over the faces Of the ingenious youths.
Then one of them slapped the poet on
the back.
my dear fellow, he said, $50 glad TO
know you all. And it gives me great
pleasure TO make ourselves known to
YOU. myself am Kaiser wilhelm; and

FOR IN ILLUMINATED CLOCK.

A Petition With T. ng List of Signers to
be Presented to the Fire Commissioners
Tonight.
Residents in the western part of the
city want an illuminated clock tower,
and they are signing a very reasonable
petition, which is being circulated by
Fred H. Crockett, of 446 Howard ave-
nue.. The petition has been circulated
only since Saturday, and already has
nearly 200 names. 1t was presented to
the board of aldermen last evening and
it's purpose is outlined in the wording,
which is as follows:
To the Commissioners of the Fire De-
partment:
We, the undersigned citizens, residing
in the western part of the city of New
Haven, and being DESTROYS for all pub
lie good and city Improvement, and be-
lieving it to be a public benefaction,
most respectfully pray your body of Of
ficials to place an Illuminated dial on
the tower of engine house No. l, situat-
ed on Howard avenue, No. 442. Believ-
ing the convenience of all citizens would
outweigh the expense of so doing we re-
main,
The name Of Alderman B. t. Lam
bert of the Fourth ward heads the list.
The signatures includes most of those
of the residents and business men in
the neig.hborhood of the engine house,
The petition is addressed to the fire
commissioners, and when it is present.
ed to them at their meeting tonight
1t is expected that it will have over
1000 signers.
Workmen are now engaged In re-
pairing the tower and those who are
interested in the movement for clock
which may be seen at might, say that
this is the time for the city to make the
improvement.
The clock in the tower of No. Is en-
CINE house on Howard avenue can be
seen during the day, but after day it is
impossible to tell the time from 1T, Z
Since the old city market fire there
is but one illuminated clock maintain
ed by the city, that on the city hall
tower. The residents OF the western
part of the city think they should have
ONE on Howard avenue.
The public is much indebted to G. r..
Longley & Co. and Howe e. Stetson for
the clocks in front of their respective
| places of business, as they are most
convenient for the public which travels
over Church and Chapel streets.

The steamer Margaret From New Haven
Tor Florida Dragged Anchor and Was
Blown Ashore in Chesapeake Bay.
Norfolk, Va, Sept. SO,-The steamship
Margaret from Newport News to Tam
pa, Fla dragged anchor and went
ashore four miles inside of Cape Hen
~, in Chesapeake bay, last night dur
ing heavy blow. The vessel is badly
broken, her starboard side being gone.
Captain Fitzgerald and an hands We're
saved
The Margaret was on her way to Flor
ida for the winter, having just finished
successful season running between
New Haven and Bradford. She left
New York Friday morning and took
the outside course for this port, where
she was to coal up. When off Cape
Henry the storm which had prevailed
all day yesterday. increased to the vio-
lence of a gale. Captain Fitzgerald
headed for the bay and got four miles
inside the cape before the anchors We're
let go. The storm seemed to increase
in force every minute, and the little
steamer jumped and rolled about in
an alarming manner. After weather.
ing the gale for about two hours the
steamer began to drag, and despite the
efforts of the crew was stranded on a
rock shore. She went on broadside, and
it was at once seen that unless the
gale subsidized she would prove a total
loss. In the terrific storm that was
raging nothing could be done to save
the vessel and after she had pounded
all night she was so badly damaged
that no effort was made to haul her
off, The Margaret had made quite q
number of trips to Florida, but never
before encountered such weather as on
this passage.
The Margaret is 1870 feet long and was
valued at 100000 She is insured. She
drew six feet of water, and was licensed
to carry TOO passengers. She was just
off the ways at Noank, Conn, and was
| in good condition.

Nine Hours.
New York, Sept. 30.-The GOODNESS
for which New Workers. have been long
ing came last night, when the mercury
fell % degrees in nine hours. 1t stood
at a at o'clock this morning.
Weather Forecaster Dunn said this
morning that this sudden change could
not be called a cold wave. The weather
bureau does not officially recognize
cold until the mercury reaches freezing
point. To-day's temperature is due to
cold winds coming from the northwest
following in the wake of the storm that
has just passed off through the st.
Lawrence valley.
1t is cooler this morning all over the
country east of the Dakotas, except
in the northwest region, where the pass
ing of the storm has left it slightly
warmer. Over the Atlantic states the
temperature has fallen from 10 to 90
degrees.
In Huron, S. D., it was 10 degrees
below the freezing point at 5 o'clock
this morning, while at Titusville, Fla,
the warmest spot in the United States
to-day, the thermometer indicated rs
degrees. The weather is clear over the
entire country.
The forecast for to-day and to-mor-
row is: Fair and cooler, with north
