WILL CARRY NEW YORK..

Those who seem to understand the
situation of affairs in New York de
clare that Democratic victory is sure
to be the result of next months election
in that state. 1t is said that the condi-
ton OF THE party is better now than it
has been for years, and that victory is
certain. Writing on this subject the
New York Times says
There has not been time in many
years when the Democrats of this State
were 50 completely united in supper.
of their state ticket as now. Wherever
there are factional differences over local
questions or questions of local organiza-
ton there is entire unanimity ON state
issues. Democrats everywhere. in the
state are satisfied with the Platform
adopted at Syracuse. and more than
satisfied with the candidates for State
Offices. There has been and is now
no boSsism i'm Democratic State politics
this year. Neither the platform nor the
ticket was dictated TO the convention
The former was framed by represcn-
tativc committee of tn" delegates and
unanimously adopted The candidates
were the untrammcled choice OF ma
jority of tho delegates fairly represent
Ing their several constituencies. and not
q word has been said or can he said

IN HEAVENS GLOW.

Behold heavens sunset glories grandly spread
In matchIess splendor canopied oerhead,
Each scenic transformation a surprise
To Sladden and to dazzle human eyes:
What matchless art has shaped each golden
: pile.
Each frescoed arch, each magic-fretted aisle.
Each field Of color blended and ablaze
With tints compelling wonder and amaze,
Until all comprehension pauses. stilled
By such great miracles, with wonder filled.
Those peaks and pinnacles Of beaten gold.
Those silvery curtains draping fold on fold,
The sanctuaries where Gods altar fires,
As beacons burn to guide each who aspires.
Until the soul on winds through spaces vast
Reaches the great white throne and God at
!, last.
II glorious thus Heavens wrong side turned to
earth.
What is 1t where these marvels all find birth?
Within that workshop where Gods hand in
wrought
In matchless scenes His highest art and
thought?
The neither side of Heaven thus shown to man,
Reveals faint outlines of that grander plan,
On which God wrought Heavens higher, holier
side.
With every beauty to man here deniel,
Except as thus traced out on skies OF blue
The inner glorfes family shining through
Prove to man here what Gods great powers,
can do
With longing eyes we scan His frescoed sky,
Waiting what we shall witness by and by,
Through gates thrown wide in welcome when
we die

The cannibal king sat upon his bam-

nifty of his position, and faded silk
scarf. His eye was fastened upon the
entrance to the throne room as if in ex-
pectancy. Presently it opened and the
secretary of state entered and bowed
to the earth.
"A deputation awaits without, your
majesty" said the secretary.
What kind. slave?" inquired his
nibs.
''Of white persons, your majesty"
Would they minister to my spiritual
wants, dog?'
Your physical wants, your mai
esty."
''Ah, then they must be missiona-
RESP
mo, your ma ajesty.'
What, hound not missionaries"
''No, your majesty, they are here on
business of state from the white coun-
try. They are politicians"
A look of disappointment clouded the
face of the king.

A three-volume novel was announced.

A three-volume novel was announced.
When those three volumes came to the
Acadaneum Office, Trigg felt that his
time for vengeance had come. He de-
voted page to it. Nothing so bitter
and SO crushing even before OF since
appeared in the cynical columns Of
that paper. 1t was merciless, ard
everyone recognized that Denton had
received his death-blow as novelist.
None realized this more than Denton
himself, who was driven to the verge
of dispair. His publisher was appalled,,
and he and the author had consulta-
ton, but both admitted that nothing
could be done.
By all laws Of logic the sale of the
book should have stopped at that
moment, but the very contrary was the
case. The ferceness and the magni-
tude of the attack at once gave Denton
a place in the world of literature that
it might in the ordinary course of
events have taken years to attain.
There instantly arose a discussion
about the book in various papers
throughout the country. The demand
for it increased. People wanted to
read work that had been so merci-
lessly slated. The libraries sent in
order after order, and a second edition
was announced. Still the demand kept
up, and as the book had genuine merit
| and as the attack was in reality villain
ously unfair, although Economically
clever, public sympathy began to veer
towards the author.
The first edition of the novel in cheap
form was sold the day Of publica ton,
and was speedily followed by a second
| and third and a fourth.
1t is quite possible for critic to
overestimate his power, and it was
soma time before Trigg realized that
| his revenge was a boomerang. His
article had been the making of his en-
emy, and Dentons position in the lit
erary world was now assured. No one
could destroy it but himself, and as
everyone knows, he was too clever a
man to do that. His succeeding books
have more than borne out the promise
of the first and second.
Thus it happened that each mans
vengeance upon the other succeeded in
placing in both cases the square peg
in the square hole, and although these
| two men were the making of each
other. although each, in reality. was
the others best friend with the worst
intentions, yet such is the contrariness
of human nature, that no two people
in London hate each other SO bitterly
as Frederick Trigg and Alfred Denton.
