What holds this lite for my baby.
Unconsciously entering Its gate?
knew OF the thorns aud the shadows
That cover the high road of lie;
And | silrAnk when thought of my baby
Taking part in its turmoil and strife.
And love, IL prompted bargain
To drive with fate tor my child,
TO save her from sorrow and hardship,
With which this old world Is detiled.

And there, 0, let my baby
Write deeds all just and right"
o. Time hold back your ages
Till baby's HEART is strong.
For her dear feet must never walk

Let her 90 free then ask me all,

And Fate. 4 will surrenderall
So from thy tolls my babe is free.
And thGH my heart Eith one glad bound
Set seal upon my fate
So gia to know my baby's path
Was peaAant, broad and straight.
But ere tine smile was on my face
A fear withiH my bosom stole
Grim Death was even yet nnbought
And hope died an my SOUL

Thy awful shadow bids me fear,
But in thy ear now fnlpl0re-

Scientists VIII Watch the Effect of
Darkness on Fish and Animals.

Deep in the bowels of the earth a
curious laboratory is about to be es-
tablished in the Jardin des Plantes,
writes the Paris correspondent of the
New York Press. Under the gardens
run some old galleries of the cata-
combs, which have not been opened in
100 years. The laboratory which will
be established in these galleries will
give an opportunity to study the effect
of obscurity upon animal life. Every
one has heard of the fish without eyes
in the cave of Kentucky and other
freaks which exist in dark wells and
such places. These facts are of great
Importance in studying the evolution
of man and species, but so far no re-
searches upon the subject have been
carried out by scientists.
Down in the deep galleries of the
catacombs it is always pitch dark, and
fish ponds will be dug in the solid
rock and stocked with fish to study the
effect of the obscurity upon them and
their offspring. Animals will also be
kept down there for the same purpose.
A good deal of trouble and some dan
ger was experienced in opening up the
galleries, which have for so long been
closed. The temperature 200 feet be-
low the surface is chill and damp, while
the gases which have accumulated in
100 years made it ticklish undertaking
to descend These galleries undermine
almost the whole of Paris and its en-
virons, being used as catacombs and
also for growing mushrooms Under
the Jardin des Plantes they have never
been used since the stoneworkers left
them in 1873. They are very narrow
and one has to stoop in going through
them. In some places the roof has
fallen in, but most of the galleries are
dug out of the solid rock and will last
for all time. The laboratory will be
the only one of it's kind in the world
and the savants who have undertaken
the task expect that the results of their
experiments will throw new light upon
the doctrine of evolution

COOK GOES TO THE G. j.
McManus Didn't Want to Prosecute
His AssaiIant.

Tom Cook, charged with assault in the sec
ond degree upon the person of Harry Nc
Manus, was held to the grand jury in $500
ponds after being examined in the municipal
court yesterday afternoon. The case was
called IN the morning, but McManus was
not on hand, evidently Wishing to have the
case dismissed. Judge Holt insisted that Nc
Manus reluctance was sufficient reason for
an investigation and continued the case until
by an officer. McManus used a cane and ap-
peared to limp little but looked in the best
or health. On the witness stand he took all
the blame upon himself and seemed afraid
that something unkind would be said against
Cook. Il went out to Spring Park to have
little fun he said land l don't know but
what l caused the trouble. Cook told me
to leave his wife alone If wished to avoid
row. Oh, | guess l was to blame l didn't
get hurt much just little scratch
You must limp or you wouldn't use
eane,'' said Assistant States Attorney Boards
ley.
''Oh, always use a cane" was the smil-
ing reply, and McManus got up and stepped
easily around the room by way of a prac-
limp.
Cook wasn't very vindictive either. In an
swer to a question from his attorney, A. P.
Loomis, he said: well l knew there was
rough gang out to the park and my wife
was there. | took along twenty-five calibre
revolver just for a bluff. I thought some
one might eat me up. McManus and l got
into little scrimmage and l fired the re-
volver at the ground just to scare him, but
the bullet struck him in the Leg
In disposing of the case, Judge Holt re-
marked that he believed there was something
back of the shooting more serious than either
party to the case was willing to admit.

FIXING A SLATE.
Representative Democrats and Pop
uIists Come Together.

Some of the representative Demo-
Gratis, Populists and silver Republicans
have come together and decided on a
scheme for distributing the city Offices
among themselves. The matter has
been quietly discussed for some time.
but yesterday the politicians came to-
gether in formal meeting, and they
fixed it all up. All that is necessary
now is for the different conventions to
select the men and the have them take
the oath of Office in January 1-if they
should be elected.
They settled this much. Both the
Pops and Democrats would like to have
the mayoralty, but they are willing to
compromise by giving this to the silver
Republicans, and then deviding the
rest of the spoils among themselves.
The silver Republican who is being
groomed is none other than Frank M
Nye, and the Popo-crats intend to run
him, whether he will or not They
evidently do not intend to ask his con-
sent
The first hitch at the conference yes
terday was over the question whether
the Democrats or Populists should have
the mayor The Democrats claimed
that they were entitled to the place be-
cause they cast such large vote as
compared with the Populists, but the
Pops present objected to this. saying
that while the numerical strength
might be as claimed, it would not be a.
good policy to put up a Democrat for
mayor, considering the many conces-
sions which the Democrats were ask
Ing in the way of legislative offices of a
minor character.
Leaving the mayoralty question for
a while. the conference took up the
matter of the city treasurer and CITY
comptroller. 1t was decided without
any objection that the Populists, in
their convention, should take their pick
of two offices. The Democrats WSuld
take the Office the Populists rejected
Coming back to the mayor again. the
conference finally decided to yield
everything and put up a silver Repub-
ican for mayor. All agreed on Frank
Nye, but it was suggested that he
might object to having his name used.
This did not make any difference. for
they decided to go ahead and run him.
anyway, and today they will doubtless
get some silver Republicans after him
This matter settled, it was definitely
decided without objection that the
Populists and the Democrats should
split even on the park and librar,
boards, and two Populists and one
Democrat should be nominated for the
board of education. The Populists will
be allowed two candidates for Justice
Of the peace, and the Democrats one.
1t was agreed that when it came to
alderman the Democrats should .norni-
nate their man in the First, Third.
Sixth and Twelfth wards, the silver
Republicans should have the say in the
Second, Fourth, Fifth, Eighth and
Thirteenth wards. and Populists and

SARATOGA, N. Y, Aug. 24.-The
end of long day Of many conferences
finds a situation tonight that has
hardly been equalled in the history Of
state Republican conventions. Thomas
Z. Plat, for many years the leader of
the party and but once an office holder,
is besieged in so vigorous a@manner
that his determination not to be a
candidate, still adhered to, is quite
likely to be over-ridden, and the scenes
that marked the nomination of David
B.. Hill in 1891 may find Republican re-
petition tomorrow. On the other hand,
men, who for months have nursed CUB
ernatorial booms, find those booms to-
night on the verge of collapse, a col
lapse SO sudden that it has paralyzed
the ambition of energetic workers and
spread some discomfort among the
rank and file
The proposed nomination of Mr.
Platt, 1t Is alleged, Is for the purpose
OF healing differences and preventing
breach between the followers of
Aldridge and Fish, but if that is the
aim, 1t could hardly be successful, for
already there is friction over whom
shall be Mr.. Platt's running mate. The
friends of Mr. Platt have coupled the
name of John w. Scatcherd, of Buffalo.
with the Office of lieutenant governor,
and this has given offense to the fol-
lowers of Mr.. Woodruff, of Brooklyn,
who thinks he would have been the
choice had the Plat boom not have
been launched. Mr.. Sections friends
are not averse to having his name
coupled with Mr.. Platt's on the ticket,
and Mr.. Sexton is quoted as passing
enconiums upon Mr.. Platt, as the logi-
cal nominee of the party.
Mark Hanna, it is alleged, has
spoken very favorably Of the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Platt.. AS to whether Mr..
Platt has changed his attitude from
refusal to consideration of acceptance,
he said himself tonight: II have not
receded from my position of last night
The pressure brought to bear upon me
today has been very great and simply
have said that I will not give final
decision on the entire question until
tomorrow morning." By some this is
considered to mean that Mr.. Plat will
reconsider and accept, but there are
Others equally as positive that he will
not accept.
- If Mr.. Platt accepts he will not re-
ceive either unanimous nomination
OF nomination by reclamation Some
members from New York have openly
asserted that they will not vote for Mr.
Platt and that will necessitate a ballot
1t is situation full of uneasiness here
and of great portent to the people. Mr.
Platt's son, Frank Plat, arrived late
in the afternoon and was closeted with
his father for some time Then he
talked with his mother over the long
t distance telephone. Later he said: ~
have no idea what the decision will
