whore Shall You Die?

From the Atlanta Constitution.
When Fred II. Adams, the gifted editor
of the Whatcom Reveille, wrote this
poem he seems to have had some premon-
ition of his own tragic fate. 1t was writ
ten in 1891. Four years later his sight
less eyes" stared into the stars" from the
sidewalk of a St. Paul street, where he
lay dead with a bullet through his brain
fired by his own hand:
wolf in the forest, one man dies
Another dies with prayer;
How shall you die? comes an echoing cry,
4 When the time has come to repair
To the mystical shore where millions be-
fore
Have gone on a journey alone,
Silent and secret as he who departs
Envoy to a country unknown?
How shall she die who is tripping by,
This rosy girl of ten?
VIII she die a grandmam with silvery
hair,
Or a painted and shameless thing?
Will a bloated face invite rude Jest.
Or children kiss the clay
OF a womanly woman with silver hair.
Now gone and forever aye?
The little baby that's trundled by.
A crowning and perfumed king,
MAY twenty years later be found in the
tide,
A sinking and murdered thing.
Shall sightless eyes be closed by kin.
Or stare into the stars.
When love has fitted long before
The mournful latter years?
Shall love be dead and friendship gone.
And life a hopeless play.
When time shall lay US level
With faces cold and gray?

Mrs. Norton said she would take the

well for the present, but when the boy

consultation by the regular physician
OF his sister-in-law, Mrs. Kitson, the
latter being very Ill. What he saw led
him to believe that the woman was an
unfaithful wife, her husband having
been absent in Australia for the past
year. He accused her of unfaithful-
ness. which she resolutely denied. and
then reported the matter 10 his wife,
warning her to have nothing TO do with

The trial was a revelation Of English
medical ethics. DR.. Playfair did not
plead justification by alleging the truth
of his examination. though il was al
issue incidentally. but defended his
action on the ground that professional
ethics permitted him TO publish secrets
OF this grave nature affecting his
patients. This view Of the matter was
made all the more grotesque by the

Montana's spring election season ends
with to-day. 1t has been comparative
ly dull and uneventful season, with
features more grotesque than sensa-
tional. The last two or three days has
developed much more opposition to the
queer republican combination in Butte
than was anticipated a week ago and
there is no doubt about il that in some
of the wards the republican candidates,
who believed IL was all over but the
shouting, are filled with acute alarm.
Had there been a full registration the
republicans in Butte would have been
completely routed. In Anaconda there
has been no fighting to speak of be-
yond the earnest efforts of some of the
candidates and their personal friends.
The democrats nominated four good
men for aldermen and believe they will
win. In Helena, DR.. Steele, the demo-
cratic candidate for mayor, will doubt
less be reelected as usual. and the race
among the candidates for aldermanic
honors there, as elsewhere in Montana,
appears to be a go-as-you-please sort of

NEW YORR'S LOSS.

Judging by he talk in some of the
New York papers, tine Empire state
has never been visited by so awful
calamity as the abolition of the free
lunch. A provision of the states new
LIQUOR law forbids a saloon keeper to
give away anything from an oyster
cracker to a barrel of sauerkraut. No
single feature of the law is exciting so
much horror and disgust as this.
The free lunch has come to be regard
ed by a large share of the worlds pop
ulation as an institution as ancient and
honorable as the Magma Charta- What
is a free country without free lunch?
In New York city, too, above all other
cities on the face of the globe, the free
and unlimited lunch reached it's high
est state of perfection. 1t became the
pride and glory of Gotham The COM
petition among the better class of no
tells was peculiarly favorable to Its
highest possible development, and of
late years, indeed, the free lunch
acquired the dignity of a fine art.
But all is changed, New York knows
it's free lunch no more. The Hoff-
man house no longer presents steam
ing and savory urns. The shining
plates at the Gilsey have vanished.
The Fifth Avenue Hotel. whose pc
culiar speciality was cold ham-and
such cold ham, we verify believe, was
never seen before since the dawn of
civilization and may never be repro
duced again so long as the solar sys-
tenn shall last-has withdrawn it's ia
nous cold ham from circulation. The
Waldorf, while II has never had a
free-lunch counter, has always fur
nished sandwiches. ham and other
light refreshments with drinks. Now
all guests are told when they make
comment on the fact that the welcome
little plates are missing. that the end
is at hand, and the regular cafe card
is offered for meals to be ordered.
1t is not surprising that the New
York press is deeply affected at the
sudden and untimely taking off of the
dear departed; nor that the obituaries
should be full of eloquence and pathos;
nor that the demand for the repeal of
the law, at least the free-lunch section
of IT. should be urgent and incessant.
A few of the saloons are seeking to
evade the law, by fixing a price for the
lunch say at one cent, and reducing
the price of beer to four cents. But
this is a cheap subterfuge which the
first-class bars justly hold to be be-
meath their dignity. Besides II would
