President Crespo's Secretary Banish.
ed From Venezuela.
venezuelan newspapers recently received
here contain a decree exiting from that
country DR.. Alirio Disz, the secretary to
President Crespo. The charge which
brought about this action on the part of
the government was that Diaz hah sent to
the Panama Star and Herald newspaper a
political communication, in which he at
tributed to the president certain statements
that he would aid the rebels in the United
States Of Colombia during the trouble
which has recently been put down in that
country. Diaz is from the United states of
Colombia and has been In Venezuela for
nve or six years. He Ii q comparatively
young man and became q close friend of
President Crespo, who appointed him his
secretary.
In connection with the statement publish
ed today Of the wholesale exile of persons
from Venezuela 1t is stated here that this
cannot be correct, as the government Is not
authorized by the constitution to exile per-
sons charged with offenses against its au-
thority. Persons, 1t is said, 20 out of the
country voluntarily to avoid the penalties
incurred by participant ting In revolutions
The latest mall advices received here were
on the 9TH instant and they contain no
statements OF recent attempts to overthrow
the authority of President Crespo, but re-
port everything as quiet. The appointment
OF Sirpa Grandolphia as minister to Colon,
pa is announced in these advices. He takes
the place Of VenezuAla's Representatives
VINO left Colombia at the outbreak of the
late revolution. The change It is said. has
no political significance.

Why do You cling unto life, my brotbe.f Why
do you cling unto life, say?
Why do you weep when the yoke and letters Of
flesh from q dear one drop away?
You know this world is q house OF sorrow, you
know this world is a house Of sin;
That pain is the Dead sea fruit Of pleasure and
will be ever, as it hath been.
Why. then, cling unto life, when over the blue,
transpicu0us rim afar
6hineth the walls of the Wondrous City, where
only blessings and blisses aref
Why do you beat your hands with passion and
storm the sky with your plea and prayer
Whenever passes . stainless spirit forever out
Of your clasp and carer
You say he goes to . glad, brave kingdom,
over q vague and voiceless sea,
Where never q last goodby is spoken and never
and never q grave shall be,
And where from rapture to perfect rapture
with crown and Tyre. no scars and sings
The chrism OF Christ upon his forehead, the
glory Of God upon his wings.
II ! thought as you think, my brother, il be-
lieved in better sphere
Beyond the grass and the golden lilies that
blossom over q dead man here,

whenever q friend of mine should die:
I would robe him in festal raiment. and I
would kiss him q gay goodby.
And. oh! when unto me came the hour-the
miracle hour that comes to all
Never q cypress branch nor blossom should
throw its gloom my gorgeous pail.
At my funeral should be dancing and dainty
feasting at festal board,
Should be singing and jests and laughter and
gurgle Of wine in the glasses poured,
And jubilant bells should rock the steeples
v''-aIw was borne to the gay. bright grave,
And tie Of drums and trill Of trumpets
I'D in Q glad thanksgiving stave.

They Well Reward the Italians Who Rake
Them Out Of the Ash Heaps.
On every dumping ground where the
city contractors of Brooklyn place their
ashes one may see constantly Italians
working hard leveling the heaps, as
load after load is deposited, and care
fully placing the tomato cans and other
castoR pieces of tinware in piles by
themselves. The contractors do not OBJ
ject if the householders put old cans
among the ashes. for this insures a care

dumping grounds at no expense to the
contractors. Tho revenue from these

from Sc to 50. It takes several days of
hard work to get big wagon load, but
the Italians don't seem to mind the labor
of it, for there is money Immediately in
sight as the piles Of tin cans grow.
They watch jealousy their picking
grounds and sometimes make special
arrangements with the contractors for
the privilege of scraping and raking the
0oA 0OoPo OvVAs
The tin cans are sold to men with
furnaces, who place them in big CAL
dron, and under q slow fire melt the tin
and solder and run that part of for fu-
ture use and sale. Almost all the tin
and solder is saved by this process and
is salable for use in making more cans
for preserving vegetables. The heat is
then made intense, and the iron that re-
mains is melted and cast into sash
weights. The demand for these old cans
is said to be greater than the supply,
and one of the most valuable of the
scavenger privileges that the Italians in
large cities assume is that of working
over an ash dump.
The Italians also collect odd bits Of
leather in heaps. Old shoes of q large
size are always q special delight to
them. A wagon load Of them is always
salable for use in making lampblack.
There are other sources of profit in ash
heaps, but the chief sources of revenue
to those who pull them to pieces are the
cans and the shoes.-New York Sun.
