Enrthss Angels.

From the Richmond ya.) Religious Herald.
v by come not spirits from the realms Of glory
To visit earth as In the days Of old?
The times of sacred writ and ar cient story;
Is heaven more distant or is earth more coldf
Oft have watched, when sunset clouds, receding,
Waved like rich banners Of ,i lest ,s gone.by.
Along the confines OF the glowing sky.
And oft when midnight stars In distant chillness,
Were calmly burning, listened late and long;
But ma atures pulse beat on, with solemn Stiffness
Bearing no echo Of the seraph's song.
Yet earth has angels though their forms are
But Of such clay as fashions all below
Though harIs are wanting, and bright pinions
We know them by the love-light on their brow.
have seen angels by the sick ones pillow,
Theirs the soft tone and the soundless tread.
Where smitten hearts were dropping like the will
s-4,i low, ,s-.
And II my sight, by earthly dimness hindered,
Beheld no lowering cherubim In air,
doubted not, for spirits know their kindred.
They smiled upon the wingiess watchers there.
There have been angels in the gloomy prison
=, In crowded halls-by the lone widows hearth:
And whare they passed the fallen have uprisen-
The giddy paused, the mourner's hope had birth.
I hsve seen one whose eloquepce commanding
Rossed the rich echoes Of the human breast;
That hope might reach the suffering nnd op-
prest.
And by his side there moved form Of beauty,
STRIVING nowen along hh path Of life:
called her angel. but be eslled her WIFE
That, Sben tie veil OF sadness b laid dow..
Shall soar aloft. with piiions unimpeded.
Asa wear its giory Ike starry crown.

JAY GOULD's Big ESTATE.
Appraiser Mcclure Fixes Its Value At
a73.RfB.A29.


Since March, 1893. Lawyer David Nc
Ciure, who was appointed appraiser in
the matter Of the taxation of the Jay
Gould estate, has been working on his
final report, and fled it the other day
with Assistant Tax Assessor Casey in
the surrOgate's office at New York.
lawyer AeClure's work consisted in
ascertaining the value of the estate
which would be taxable under the
transfer act of 1892.
The report sustains the testator's
will, in which the four executors
George j., Edwin. Howard, and Helen
N. GOuld-were each left an annuity
of $4,000 for life as acting executors
and trustees and making the total
property taxable under which is
known as the collateral inheritance tax
ectS73, 615, 423.Os. The report also states
that the life interest of the four exc
cutOrs would make a total of S610, 587,
which must be deducted from the prin-
cipal and be exempt from taxation.
1t is figured that the state taxes would
amount to about 100000 only for
the forethought of the late Jay Gould
in fixing life annuities of $4,000 per
year upon each of his four executors.
According to Lawyer McCIure's re-
port the Gould family is now taxed
$574,OOO. At the time of the probating
of the will they paid in $500. 900, receiy-
ing a rebate Of five per cent. The ex-
ecutors of the estate now assert that
the value of the securities is placed en-
tirely too hi~h and refuse to pay. They
viii no doubt appeal from the final re-
port of the appraiser as submitted to
the surrogate, and in the event of an
adverse decision carry the case to the
court Of appeals. In that event years Of
litigation can be looked for.
On the other hand, the state is not en-
tirely satisfied with the report. Il is
claimed that the expenses and commits
sions should not be deducted from
the principal and thus be exempt from
taxation. It is likely that the state
will appeal if the Goulds receive a IA
yorable decision from the surrogate

The Fslsifed Account Of the Battle Of Gande,
laria Is Proven
The Spanish Lost 500 Men and Consider
able Arms in the Engagement
FiIibusierers Active.

TAMPA, Fla, March 23.-Letters were
received today from persons connected
with the Colazzo expedition stating
that on the 18th instant, while in sight
Of the Mantanzas shore, three Spanish
Warships, Wis: the Infanta Isabella.
Marquis de Ia Enceuada, and the Con
ira Maestro, we're sighted. The expedi-
zion drew off from the land to avoid
the warships. After dark, one of the
latter proceeded along the coast, seru-
tinising the expedition with search
lights. The steamer leading the expe-
dition slipped in just behing her and
unloaded.
It was attacked at daylight by a
small Spanish force and driven away,
but another band of insurgents, hear
ing the firing came to the rescue and
the small qGantity of arms captured by
the Spanish we're recovered.
Another letter from a Spanish source
gives a report of the engagement at
Candelaria on the 18th instant, when
Macso and Quintin Banedar, with 5000
men, attacked Col. Francis. The
Spanish loss, the letter says, was 300
soldiers, four captains and eight lieu
tenants. Francis surrendered, giving
up all his arms and ammunition. This
it is said, incansed Gen. Weyler, who
announced that Francis would return

An exhaustive examination of the accounts

Of the debates in congress show that setting
aside hypOcracy, the real issue, as some senators
point ont, is whether tho United States can take
possession Of Cuba by force or not. If they can,
why let them declare war against us; let them
set their fleets in motion and send them TO Cuba.
They need not doubt that We viii receive them
as it behooyes US to do. If they cannot declare
war, then, as the most honorable members of
congress have said, let these debates cease, and
let Spain govern herself with the liberty she is
entitled to- and which nobody can limit. Any
thing is better than to so on threatening and
hiding under the veil of jingoism the no longer
fashionable and now well known intentions of
those whose aspirations is the independence of
