Lifc's Variety,

Life hath its barren years,
When blossoms fall untimcly down,
When ripened fruitage fails to crown
The summer toll, when natures frown
Looks only on our tears.
Life hath its faithlcss days
The golden promise of the morn,
That seemed for light and gladness born,
Meant only noontidc wreck and scorn
flushed harp instead of praise
Life hath its valleys, too,
Where we must walk with vain regret
with mourning clothed. with wild rain wet,
Toward sunlight hopes thnt COON must set,
All quenchcd in plying dew.
Life hath it's harvest moons,
It's tasseled corn ana purple weighted vine,
It's gathered shcavrs of grain, the blessed sign
VI ple!tcous, ripcning bread aud pure, rich
wine,
Full hearts for harvest tunes
Life hath its hopes fulfilled,
Its glad frnitions, its blcst answered PRAYER,
Swccter for waiting long, whose holy mir,
lhdrnwn TO silent souls breathes forth its rare
Grand speech by Joy distilled

tocol of the International Commission

struction. All birds, he says, are use
full. The massacre OF birds for the
hats of silly women must end in the
fitting over of natures balance in IA

Vile asks for the suppression OF bird
markets. He counted in one Paris
bird market last May 200 nightin-
gales, hundreds of pinsons, charming
little songsters, peculiar to French
woods and fields and 200 tinches.

Long silver of Oak.
A most extraordinary accident &C
CURED at the works of the Globe COM
pany, manufacturers of filing cabinets
and office goods, recently. An oaken
splinter about eighteen inches in
length, was flung from a rapidly re-
volying rip saw and forced through
the body of a young man, an employee,
who happened to be passing at the
moment. The victim was Mr.. George
+. Kroeger, a draughtsman for the
Globe File works, and his duties took
him into the room where the saw was
in operation TO see how some certain
work was getting aleng. As he en-
tered a piece OF oak was being sawed,
and a wedge-shaped silver, about
eighteen inches long almost a sharp
point at one end, aud an inch and n
half at the blunt end, was trimmed
off. Kroeger passed to the rear, with
his left side to the saw, at this in
slant.
Like a fash this silver was caught
up by the whiriing saw and flung, just
missing the sawyer, and catching
young Kroeger. 1t caught him at the
left thigh, making a slight cut and
tearing in through the flesh, COM
pletely piercing the right leg at it's
juncture with the body, the iron-like
oaken point protruding through and
tearing his clothing.
Kroeger reeled from the force of the
awful blow, falling against the wall,
doubled together in his agony, and as
he tpmbled his hands instinctively
sousAt the weapon of death, grasping
it with both hands, with a mighty
effort he pulled it N and flung it
from him, and rolled like a ball upon
the floor in an agony that cannot be
told in words. The alarm was given,
a doctor VAS sent for. and young
Kroeger was carried to the Office. He
was unconscious all the while. His
wound was attended to as we'll as
could be hurTiedly done. He then in
sisted upon being taken home, refus-
ing tc go to the hospital. y cab was
secured and he was driven to his
home, 696 McMicken avenue. Strange

Chicago, Aug. G.-L. /. Conner. hus-
band Of Mrs. Julia Conner, who is
supposed to have been one of the
Holmes victims at the EnglewoOd
castle, claims that he has discovered
considerable that the police know
nothing about, and that he is con
WINGED that Holmes murdered his
wife and little girl, and that Quinlan
was an accessory. He bases his opin-
ion of Quinlan's guilt on the fact that
considerable of the furniture that the
Quinlans have been using was the
former property of Mrs. Conner. Con-
ner says he will insist that the war
rants be served at once so that there
may be no possibility of Quinlan get
ting away.
While searching through a collec-
ton Of rubbish in the dark chamber
I'm the Holmes castle to-day Detec-
tives Fitzpatrick and Norton found,
under a pile OF dirt, a pair OF bloody
overalls. They could not determine
to whom they belonged, but they will
be brought into the central station to
see if they fit Quinlan. A more
thorough search Of all the debris in
the castle will be made tomorrow to
| discover other articles Of clothing
which Holmes or Quinlan may have
| hidden.
A letter from A. l.. Jones TO II. Fl.
| Holmes was found yesterday and, on
it's face, makes it appear that Jones
knew more about what was going on
in the castle than he has admitted In
the past.
Part of a dress or a wrapper he
longing to Mrs. Julia Conner has
been found and identified. The man
ner of identification was peculiar.
Mrs. Conner was a Miss Smythe Of
Davenport. She and her sisters were
expert dressmakers, and had a pc
culiar method of finishing up the I'M
der side of seams in their dresses.
The seam sewing on the gown found
has been closely compared with other
work of Mrs. Conner, and has been
found TO be identical. The sleeves Of
The garment have been badly cut. An
effort will be made to prove that II
was the gown worn by Mrs. Conner
on Christmas day. 1891, when she
was last seen alive. Ii is thought
Mrs. Grow and Mrs. Lawrence can
identify it as have been worn by her
that day.
