ONE KISS.
PrOSnacitye1

When my body lay weakened with fever;
When a weight overpressed my brain;
When / tossed with the fiery fever,
And my spirit, too, racked with pain
Thou vert the great physician,
And could have lived for this,
But to die was my petition
If thy lips might meet mine in a kiss.
One such as thou couldSt have given,
And the balm of thy hand on my brow,
Where my soul had late madly striyen
But fiickered in anguish now.
In life I thought to be drawer,
But 1 Stagger under my load,
And IN spirit l often waver
From the rectitude of the road.
TITS then | most long for the blessing,
The right to recline on thy breast.
There my griefS with my love confessinS,
'Twould be relief ineXpressed.
And now that life's pulses are throbbing,
My soul with a memory burns;
Ny hayward heart ever is sobbing:
Return, Robin, only return"
Retrospective)
What was it bout Apples of Sodom''-
OF "'Dregs in the chalice of winc'-
death lurking IN stolen waters?"
The fault was not mine.
Who gave the first kiss? Not /, SIR
Nor /, miss; you lead me on
''Buts Adam. you yielded; now why, sir?''
.Ah, the age of chivalry is not gone"
Then farewell to the sweetness of loving,
Since courtesy fathered my bliss;
When I bartered my immortal soul
For naught but a chivairous kiss.

A Very Popular Calendar.

Few people in these busy days are will
ing to live without a calendar to mark
the passing of time. This fact, no doubt,
accounts for the calendars of all kinds,
colors, shapes and sizes which flood the
mails at this season. Among them all
the one that best suits us is that issued
by y. W. Aver & Son. the Keeping
INCREASINGLY At It" Newspaper Adver-
Using Agents of Philadelphia We have
just received. our new copy and are fixed
for 1897. ItSfs not difficult to see why
this calendar is so great a favorite. The
figures on it are large enough TO be read
across a room; its handsome appear
ance makes ii worthy of place in the
best furnished office or library, while it is
business-like all the way through. The
publishers state that the demand for this
calendar has always exceeded the supply.
This led them years ago 10 place upon it

RETURNED TO TOWN
TRAMPs RELEASED TO LEAVE BUT
ARE SOON BACK,
Onicer Horner Takes Them to the City
Caught Later In the Day on East Doug.
Las Avenue = When Caught by Onacer
kemspere One Of Them had just Stolen
Coat From . Store-Evidence In Hand
Points to Them as Members Of . ReSu-
lar Gang OF Thieves.

Yesterday morning three tramps were
released from the city castle. padded
over the moat instead of sending them
out over the drawbridge and compelling
them 20 pay toll. Officer Charley Hor-
ner kindly took them into his buggy and
helped them on their way by carrying
them TO the city limits, as they were to
leave town Immediately upon being re-
leased from jail. They promised to not
return when set down at the edge Of the
city, and accordingly started on their
way apparently rejoicing at thus being
allowed their freedom.
Yesterday afternoon Officer Kemspear
arrested one Of these same fellows on
East Douglas avenue Immediately after
he had stolen a coat from a merchant.
Remspear was acquainted with the en-
tire outfit and was not much surprised to
find all three together. He simply took
possession of the coat, the thief and the
two other fellows, called the patrol wa
gon and returned them to the Hotel De
Burt. After they were locked up it was
found that this same triumvirate had
been operating extensively in this city,
and are suspected of being the perpetra>
tors of almost numberless minor robber-.
les which the police have been endeavor-
ing to locate for some time pastt. They
would steal small articles and then offer
them for sale in another part of the city.
They were placed In cell to insure safe
keeping and more developments may be
looked for later. The names they gave
are Burrey, Connors and Pane and in ap-
pearance are common, everyday tramps.

AMERICAN MEAT PRODUCTS
Germania Still Pretends to Turn up Her
Eastidious Nose ut Them.

Washington, Dec 26.-There are gen.
eral indications that the war on Amer
can meat products in Germany is to be
prosecuted with fresh vigor. United
States Consul Warner, at Cologne, has
this to say on the subject in report TO
the state department.:
Notwithstanding the assurances of
the United States government that all
meat products for export are subjected
to strict examination, the intermina
bic agitation in Germany against the
NhOleSomeneSS of these products still
goes on. At recent meeting Of the ag-
ricultural association of the district OF
Cologne the subject of adulterating Ger
man sausage with American diseased
beef was discussed. One speaker drew
special attention TO the fact that beef
was examined for maggots in Germany,
but not so in America. Since in the
were more adulterated with American
beef that was infested with maggots
than with ported meat. the law in force
in Germany against dishonest competi-
ton, it was said, should be applied in
the case of sausages, which would re-
quire the marking of the goods as TO
whether they were Of German or foreign
origin and had been officially examined
or not. Another speaker remarked that
it made an immense difference to the
welfare Of the German people, whether
home or foreign meat was used. He
therefore deemed it necessary that the
origin of thepmeat used in the prepare
tions Of the sausages be given. A chemist
present said the American beef was not
so profusely infested with maggots, but
that it came to Germany prepared with
borax in an astonishing manner. On
the exterior Of the meat, there was. he
asserted, complete crust of borax and
the meat was actually picked with it.
If sausages contained meat prepared Sn
this way and were offered for sale it
was clearly a fraud in the sale of food
stuff.
Washington Dec. 26.-Gerrnany sent
out in the season of 1885 of raw beet
sugar 95s, i2S tons, against 1,046,043 tors
in the preceding year. The consumption
was 66S, $50 tons. against So, 695 tons in
1S94-95. The factories employed in max
ing sugar numbered 96,45S and they con-
sumed IL 100000 tons Of beet root. The
bad business Of the preceding year
forced the sugar makers to offer less for
the roots and this in turn caused the
farmers to plant less. United States
Consul Monaghan at Chemnitz sends
these statistics to the state department
TO back up his statement that Germany's
beet sugar industry has been making
hinge strides in a dozen years, in part
owing to intelligent government aid and
elso to the energy of the manufacturers,
who believe in helping themselves. He
says that intensive, rather than extern |
sive. farming may be made as profita BILE |
in Nebrask3 and Ohio as IN Germany, |
and he sees no reason to doubt that |
America can profitably make her own |
beet sugar and save the millions of |
marks that are Annually sncnt in Ger
many for this article.

ARMOR-PLATE INSPECTION

Washington, Dec. 26.-Secretary Her.

report of the special board which inves-
tigated the complaints from the New
port News constructors that steel of in>
ferior quality had been supplied by the
Carnegie works for the battleships Ken
lucky and Kearsarge. The report is a

by the many tests made by the board
and the defective plates are fully iden-
titled. The inquiry has demonstrated
that the present system of inspection is
ineffective. and plates are shown to have
reached the ship yards that never were
inspected at all; at least they bore none
OF the inspectors marks. The board has
not yet examined the plates for the bat
