SING 4 SONG OF IT!

Sing a song of weather-fre brands
and all,
Sunshine streaming. cleaning, twenty
miles from fall
Sing a song of weather-birCs too
faint to fly,
And azure acres cracking in the broad
and burning sky!
But keep your faith, believers!
For still there's hope for all;
Nights we'll melt in summer
As freeze to death in fall.
Sing a song of mediterranean saw
the like!
Watch the steeples tremble, and see
the lightning strike.
Sing song of weather-see the
steaming rills,
While runs the rain like lava from
the breasts of blazing hills!
But keep your faith, believers!
For still there's hope for all;
Nights well melt in summer
As freeze to death in fall.
Sing a song of weather-lily lifts its
cup
Tn vain-in vain to catch the rain and
drink the dewdrops up!
Sing a song Of weather-but earth's
paradise,
For round the blazing corner he comes
the man with ice!
So keep your faith, believers
For still there's hope for all;
Who burns to death in summer
VIII never freeze in fall.

When the trouble gets so bad that he can
not work, he will begin to give himself the
care he gave the horse at the start. The
time to cure a disease is at the beginning
and better than all is to so watch your
health that disease will never come. Good,

HELD An AUTOPSY,
alcoholism Caused Matilda CatIett.s
Sudden Death.

An autopsy was performed today on the
body of the unfortunate colored woman,
Matilda Catlett, who was found dead in an
clubhouse in Ambush court yesterday, by
Deputy Coroner GIazebrook VIM. Schoen-
berger, the morgue keeper, had closed tn.
door of the little Lrick structure when p
Star reporter called to inquire about the
result OF the autopsy, and, SO far as he was
concerned, his lips were sealed by order of
the coroner.
Il can't give out any information" he
said. mo one but the coroner is allowe d
to give out news"
Where is the deputy coroner?" he was
asked.
Hes gone" was the response; but he
couldn't give you the information even if
you should see him, for the coroner will no.
allow him to give out news. / will saw
though, that there will he no inquest held -
The next thing to do was to find the
coroner, but this was next to impossible
and the only information obtained Other
than that given by the morgue keeper was
that given by a policeman, which was tina;
alcoholism had caused death. 1t was learn
ed that Matilda had been drinking some of
the cheap whisky over at Jackson City, and
a policeman, who professed to be aequaint
ed with Jackson City and the character of
its liquid merchandise expressed surprise
that Matilda had lived long enough TO re-
turn to her temporary home in Ambush
court. Now her body will be buried in pot
ter's field.

Harvard and Tufts Men Meet on BOs-
tons Streets.
The last torchlight parade of the CAM
paign rarched through Boston last night
in the interests of the gold standard. The
paraders were made up entirely of Har-
ward students although it was anticipated
that the Institute of Technology and Tuft' g
College would be represented. Anticipating
that the thwarted efforts for rush on
Friday night might cause the students to
make a more decided attempt last night,
the police made elaborate arrangements
for quelling any disturbance, with the re-
suit that there were nearly as many off,
GERS in the parade as students, while both
the front and rear of the procession was
strongly guarded.
After the parade broke up a large num-
Der of Harvard men went to Park Square,
where they encountered about twenty-five
Tufts College men. A rush ensued, and
soon the streets near the Providence depot
were thronged with people. The police,
however, charged on the students, and
after half an hour succeeded in clearing
the square, but not until a number of the
Harvard students had received consider
able punishment. -'-e-

In order to carry the election. Mr.. Nc
Kinley will have to secure, in addition to
the electoral votes of the states conceded to
him. 1O1 votes out of the list of states
brought into doubt by the conflicting claims
of the chairmen. Mr.. Bryan. on the other
hand in order to be elected, will have to
secure 146 electoral votes out of the states
thus brought into dispute by the claims of
the rival chairmen. If Mr.. Mckinley were
conceded the seventy-five electoral votes
admitted by the democratic committee to
be doubtful, he would still have to secure
81 votes in order to be elected. These 30
votes would come out of the list claimed
positively for both" Mr.. Bryan, if he were
granted the IS acknowledged by Mr.. Hanna
as in doubt, would still have to secure So
votes from the states disputed by the
chairmen in order to carry the election
1t may be assumed that in the states
claimed with doubt by Chairman Hanna
that in his mind the chances are really in
favor of the democrats else his claim
would be more positive. A like assumption
may be made as to the states claimed by
Chairman Jones as doubtful. So it is fair
to say that in the minds of the men who
have been managing the campaign, Kan
sas. Missouri, Texas, Virginia and Wash
tEgtOn are doubtful states. with the proba-
bilities in favor of the democrats. Like
wise. Delaware. Illinois, Iowa and Wiscon-
sin may be put down as doubtful states
with the chances in favor of the re1ubli-
cans.
If the states in which the chances are
thought to favor the republicans are added
to the conceded Mckinley states an cleo
toral vote of 1872 results. similar prD-
cedure with the Bryan states gives him 1876
votes.
Respecting the list of fourteen states.
claimed positively for both" 1t is evil
of campaign news closely that the republic
cans claim more positively the states of
Indiana. Maryland and Minnesota, than
the others. There have been indica lions of
q stronger q nf
to the states of California. Nebraska, North
Carolina and Tennessee than to the other
states named. So far as the news that has
come from the states and the claims made
by the political managers go, ii seems to
be about an even thing in Kentucky Mich
fgan. North Dakota, South Dakota, Wy
oning and Oregon. Constructing a new
table, taking the strength of claims into

bilities on them. the following results:

II Mckinley carries. IN addition to the
states conceded to him, all the states which
in this table have been classed as favorable
to him. he will have secured 224 votes or
the exact number necessary to election
If Bryan is granted all the votes re-
corded as favorable to him. he will have
176 votes. and will need. in order to be
elected, to receive all of the IL electoral
votes from the states where the chances
and claims are seemingly equal, and one
state from the column recorded as slightly
favorable to Mckinley. -
These figures are given, not as/pret&;c-
lions. but only as indicating the chances as
viewed by politicians. 1t is this belief that
chances favo- Mckinley in the states
named that has induced betting men to
place odds Oh Mckinley.
