The song of Tubal Cain.

Old Tubal Cain was a man OF might.
In the days when earth was young
BY the fierce red light OF his furnace bright,
The strokes OF his hammer rung;
And he lifted high his brawny hand
% On the dron glowing clear; u,o. .s
Till the sparks rushed out in scarlet snow
AS he fashioned the swori and the spear.
Hurrah m for for the spear and the swordi
Hurrah for the hand that shall WELD them
For he shall be king and lord"
To Tubal Cain came many one.
AS he. wrought by his roaring fire.,
As the crown of his desire;
And he made them weapons sharp and
Till they shouted loud. for glee,
And gave him gifts of pearl and gold.
And spoils of the forest free.
And they sang: "Hurrah for Tubal Cain.
who hath given US strength anew.
Hurrah for the smith. hurrah for the fire,
And hurrah for the metal true!'
But sudden change came o'er his heart.
Ere the setting of the sun,
And nd Tubal m Cain Cal W was dl fiIled San with pain
He saw that men. with rage and hate.
Made war upon their kind,
That the, land was red with the blood they
In their their lust for carnage blind.
And he said: "Alas that ever l made,
Or that skill Of mine should plan. .o,
Is to slay their fellow mln"'
And for many day old Tubal Cain
Sat brooding Ger his woe;
And his hands forebore to smite the ore,
And his furnace smoldered low.
But he rose at last with cheerful face.
And a bright, courageous eye,
And barred his strong right arm for work,
While the quick flames mornted high.
And ghe sang: ''Hurrah for my handiwork,"
And the red sparks lit the air;
Not alone for the blade was the bright
steel made
And he fashioned the first plowshare.
And men. taught wisdom from the past
In friendship Joined their hands.
Hung the sword in the hall. the spear on
the wall.
And plowed the willing lands;
And sang: "Hurrah for Tubal Cain.
Our stanch good friend is he:
And for the plowshare and the plow
To him our praise shall be.
But while oppression lifts its head,
Or a tyrant would be lord,
Though we may thank him for thes plow,
Well not forget the swordv'

PRAISE FROM A SLAV
RUSSIAN REAR ADMIRAL on THE
MAssACHUsETTs's TRIAL TRIP.
Surprfsed to Find Such Perfect and
Speedy Working of the New Bat
tie Ship Engines.

PHILADELPHIA. March 22.-The United
States battle ship Massachusetts, which
left Cramps snip yard last Tuesday for her
builders trial trip, returned TO her dock
to-day. The splendid results Of her trial
were told in these dispatches last night.
The results were even better than those
accomplished with the Indiana two years
ago. That ship, on her builders trial, only
got up a speed of fifteen and six-tenths
knots for short time, whereas the Massa-
chusetts sustained that speed over the ten
mile course and exceeded the speed of the
Indiana under similar conditions by about
one knot an hour. When the Indiana was
tried the weather was perfect, but the
Massachusetts, contended against a north
west gale and acquitted herself beautifully.
All on board were enthusiastic and say
the new ship will be an even better gun
platform than the Indiana.
Rear Admiral Makroff, commander Of the
Russian squadron on the Pacific coast. and
one of the most noted officers in the Cars
navy, who was guest of the Cramps on
the trip, expressed himself in terms Of the
highest praise of the Massachusetts, per-
formances.

but not enough to be OF any consequence
in the field OF coast line defense. The Mas

Admiral Makroff is on his way to st.
Petersburg on a leave of absence. Previous
to taking command Of the Pacific squadron
he was chief officer OF the Russian Mediter-
ranean squadron.

CHIvALRoUs ACTS OF TURKS
Six Subjects of the Sultan Wht
Defended an American Woman
Against a Mob.

CONSTANTINOPLE,T TURKEY, Feb, 23-
Miss Clara Barton and the members of her
Red ross party are not going to Zeitoun.
owing to the refusal of the Porte to grant
them permission to do so.
The Italian Consul at Zeitoun, the CITY
which recently surrendered to the Turks,
after having been held for months by the
Armenians who captured it, has written
describing the wretched condition of the
people of Zeitoun. Many of them, he
says, are naked. Starvation confr onts
hundreds of them, and there is much
sickness. Baron Won Calice, the Austrian
ambassador, has started a subscription for
the relief of the sufferers.
Miss Clara Barton of the Red Cross Soci-
ETY. is eager to go to Zeitoun to help alleviate
the distress of the wretched inhabitants.
Though barred by the Porte presumably
70 prevent the publicity the recent horrors
there would be given should her party be
allowed to go, it is probable th at aid will
be sent through her efforts to the Zeitounlls.
She has telegraphed inquiring whether
Marash would be a good place to establish
her base of supplies. Marash is only a
short distance from Zeitoun, and is situ-
ated on the very borders of the toughest
country OF the Tauris.
1t has been learned that an angry mob
on January made an attack on the Anne ri
can mission at Oerfa, an out-station OF
Aintab.
Death or a worse fate might have over
taken the missionary there, Miss Corinna
ShattucF had it not been for the heroism
of six Turkish officials. These men faced
the mob, declaring that they would de-
fend the American woman with their lives.
The mob paid little attention to them and
attempted 10 continue their attack when
the officials fired upon them, scattering
them like sheep.
Minister Terrell declares that the names
OF those men should be known to the
world, for they are heroes. He requested
the representative of the United Press to
cable their names TO America and it is ac-
cordingly done. They are Bezak Effendi,
Said Effendi Mustafa Effendi, Habzan Ef-
fendi, Issa Effendi and Durak Effendi.

KNOWN BY THEIR VOICES
Grace Darrell Confident That
She Can Point Out Her
AbductorS.
Will Not Reveal Their Names Until
She Is Certa That No Mistake
Has Been Made.

LEESBURG, FLA, Feb. 23.-There Is
great excitement at Centre Hill over the
abduction and maltreatment of Miss Grace
Darrell, the pretty Chicago girl. Miss
Darrell has regained consciousness and
says that when she went on the veranda
Thursday night some one threw a shawl
over her head to muffle her cries and she
was then taken away. She says there were
four men concerned and thinks she recog.
niZed their voices. Soon after being
seized she freed her head and screamed.
Then she was knocked senseless. When
she regained consciousness she was nude
and tied to a tree.
Overcome by horror, she soon relapsed
into the unconscious state in which she
was found. While Miss Darrell thinks
she knows her abductvrs, she has not vet
mentioned their names, as she SAYS she
may be mistaken, and she does not want
innocent men lynched.
1t is believed that the outrage was COM
mitted by four young men whose ad-
dresses the girl rejected, and who, it is
alleged, threatened to be revenged
1t developed to-day that Miss Darrell
has recently received number Of anony-
nous letters of an obscene nature, and it
is alleged these letters were written bv

Dolan, a waiter in the Eutopia restaurant
shot, inficting possibly fatal wound, J..
NJ. Snyder, proprietor of the place, and
then attempted to take his own life, and
because NJ. Phelps, a witness to the
tragedy, endeavored to prevent him from
committing self-murder, the gun-wielder
fired at his would be protector.
The shooting occurred about II o'cloc k
IN the restaurant. Phelps, by reason of
Dolan's bad Workmanship. was not
harmed, and after desperate struggle he
succeeded in taking the revolver-the
weapon used from the bloodthirsty
waiter.
An hour before Dolan took an order, but
instead of serving the patron he went out
and proceeded to get drunk. The proprie-
tor sought him and demonstrated with h i'm
about the manner in which he was neg
lecting business. Returning to the restaur.
ant. Dolan said, "If you are going to make
trouble about the matter | will kill you."
He then wheeled and fred at Snyder. rhe
bullet passed into his mouth and lodged
in the neck
Made more desperate by his awful deed
Dolan placed the muZzle of the revolver,
3o-calibre, to his temple and was about
to fire when Phelps interfered, only to be
made target of himself.
With this the would-be murderer and
suicide ran out and secreted himself in a
room of the Laclede House, near by.
where he was arrested half an nour later
by Detective Cudihee.
Snyder is about 80 years old and has q
family. DOlan is 35 and unmarried.
