LOVE OF GOD.

Love OF God, It's presence quelling
All the strife Of carnal day.
Flooding souls eternal vending
Onward, upward, home to Thee.
Love of God, Its sweetness yelling,
Lo! spring Of Joy see;
In Thy greatness like river
Coursing onward home to Thee.
Love of God, its influence swelling.
Streaming from Thy throne ON high;
Blessing hearts immortal, tending
Onward, upward, home to Thee.

MONKEY AND WOLF.
THE MONKEY WAS A LITTLE TOO
READY TO ENTER THE RING.
The Wolf had the Call but the
Little Monkey was Game to the
End of the Chapter.

Emu Oh Iu0 SudpIST'
CHICAGO, ILL.,, ian. 3.-There was
fight to the death last night,
witnessed by as big a crowd as
could get within seeing distance
OF the show window of a Madison
street dealer in animals. 1t lasted
nearly half an hour and resulted
in the death of one Of the COM
batants, a baboonfaced African
monkey. In the window there
was a happy family consisting of
a pair of black bear cubs, a gray
wolf and four monkeys. The wolf
m ade snap at the female African
monkey, which was resented by
her male companion who, slid
down the bars of the cage until he
reached the floor and the fight
was on. 1t looked an unequal con-
test, for the wolf was several times
as large as the monkey, but the
latter outclassed his foe in gener-
alship and although he had the
worst OF it all the way, he manag-
ed to keep the wolf busy for half
an hour, when he grew too weak
to defend himself and was killed.
Five hundred people saw the
strange fight and tried in every
way to stay the battle. The
store was closed and there was
no way Of getting to the animals
except to break in the door or to
smash one Of the plate glass win
dows. Men raped on the window
in which the cage was but neither
of the combatants paid any atten-
ton to the efforts made to stop the
deal. This particular breed Of
monkeys is noted for courage and
their being always ready to fight.
Had the monkey been disposed to
avoid the battle he could easily
have done so in the early stages
by climbing to the top OF the cage
where the others had taken refuge,
but he pluckily kept up the I'M
equal warfare till he was so badly
crippled that he could not climb
the bars. The wolf had him down
in the corner Of the cage where the
poor monkey was striking out
right and left, with the same style
of motion that a man makes, while
the wolf was killing him by crush
ing his neck. There was some
thing nearly human in the an
guish OF the dying monkeys mate.
She kept up a violent chattering
from her retreat at the top of the
cage and when it was plain to be
seen that the wolf had much the
best OF the struggle, she ran down
the side of the cage and tried to
join in the attack, but retreated
when the wolf left his dying
victim and started for her. The
dead monkey was fine speci-
men and $50 had recently been
refused for him.

Communication by Cleveland of

Communication by Cleveland of
Gresham's Report Thereon.
WASHINGTON, January 3.-The
President today sent to the Senate
about three hundred pages Of cor
respondence relative to the Blue
field matter all of which were sum-
married. in letter from Gresh-
am to the President, in
which the secretary says, after re-
citing the occurrences Of the past
year, all we'll known:
"From the beginning Of the
conflicts, which at times were
serious, this government stead
lily recognized the paramount
sovereignty of Nicaragua over
the entire reservation, yield
ing to no pretensions incon-
sistent with that sovereignty. At
no time during the last forty or
fifty years has the so-called
native Indian government, in the
strip been real, on the contrary has
been an alien municipal govern
ment, administered according to a.
lien methods. Although Americans
and American interests have some
time dominated in the strip, this
government, while Intervening in
proper cases for their protection,
has constantly disavowed any right
Of its own or Of its citizens to gov
ern the reservation or participate
in the political affairs. Whatever
right of self-government the In
dians enjoyed under the treaty
concluded between Great Britain
and Nicaragua, was to be exercised
by themselves and not aliens
in their name. That treaty
contemplated the eventual surren-
der by the Indians OF their strip
and their Incorporation into the
Republic Of Nicaragua on some
footing or other as citizens Of
the Republic"
"a copy of the convention,
concluded November 20 last
is herewith communicated
by which it is declared the
Mosquito Indians, while retaining
especial privileges" in accordance
with customs" and "racial dispO-
sition," shave agreed wholly to
submit to the laws and authorities
Of Nicaragua for the purpose OF
forming part of political and ad-
ministrative organization"
"Great Britain, it is proper to
say, has given this government
most positive assurance that she
asserts no right Of sovereignty or
protection over the territory, but
on the contrary, respects the full
and paramount sovereignty Of the
government OF Nicaragua"

AND INVESTIGATION
ORDERED.
The Murderers of Lee Nance Are
After the Son, Not Content With
the Killing of the Father in
South Carolina, 90 Years
Ago.

CHICAGO, Ills, Jan. 3.-Post Of
flee Inspector Stuart has been
asked to take some action in re-
gard to communication received
recently by Lee Nance, colored,
from unknown persons in Column
bus, Ohio. The letter refers to the
murder OF Nance's father in New
Berry, S. c., 26 years ago, and con-
tains threats against Nance's life.
A portion OF the letter is as fol-
lows
"COLUMBUs, Ohio.
To NANCE: The second Chicago.
Fifteen years ago you appeared
in New Berry, S. c., with the
avowed purpose, AS it was reported,
{ I avenging the death OF the radi-
al leader, Lee Nance, ST., your
.ather. But you stepped out like
a coward, before any arrangements
could be made. You had no need
to fear for lack OF prominent white
friends. You called at the New
Berry Herald office, and Its direc-
tors, in the presence ofMajOr Nance
and Robert Holman, gave you as
suranCe OF their goodwill and
friendship. They had all been
your fathers friends, even boldly
frustrating the plans Of our faith
full followers on more occasions than
one, but in '6S we proceeded in Gu"
determination to kill the hated
ra ioa1 looInr hn1auSa NO oil ho-
lieved he was mainly to blame for
the murder of one Of our bravest
men, named Ward. We have
never heard more Of you since
you hurried out of New Berry in
1880, until lately, when by chance
a book fell into our hands, evident
ly written by you, on which several
pages are devoted to description OF
a murderer's plight. Notwith-
standing the fact that you refrain
from mentioning the death OF your
father, we think the murderer Is
some one OF us. Furthermore, we
have learned that you were at the
bottom OF the church meeting held
in Chicago, just a week after
Sheriff Cook, OF Fayette coun-
ty, Ohio, was endorsed and
praised for his work OF killing
white men for trying to lynch
negro. When you came to tell
OF your old mans death you grew
wildly excited and said, il we have
it straight, so help me God, would
NJ al /
meet with the vile murderer Now
you shall not keep this up, and we
don't believe you had ought to
live, any way. But we intend to
give you a chance. Some Of US
will be in Chicago the first OF the
year, when an arrangement can be
made for settling the old score,
with rifles or otherwise. There are
several Of us, father, son and grand
sons, but only one OF us can be &C
cused OF the crime OF 26 years ago.
Yet we are all abettOrs OF 1t and
agreed as to you. Therefore be not
surprised to see US soon.
(Signed) The abettor or more"
Mr.. Nance said that he did not
know the author OF the letter. The
man, he said, who murdered his
father was named Fitzgerald. He
had heard nothing of him, except
that Fitzgerald had moved to
Fsyette county, Ohio. Mr.. Nance
says he has received many letters
of a similar character but has
never paid any attention to them,
until he received the above.
