IN MEMORIAM.
Perseus Richard Steward.
(BY o. NJ. Steward }

The deepest love that have known
Was for a child that hence hath flown,
And scared to realms of endless bliss,
Whose heart was mine and mine was
his.
A boy who only thrice had seen
The roses bloom mid fields of green;
Whose laughing eyes l still can see
Brim full OF mischief, love and glee.
They resteth now, those little feet
Which ran so swiftly, oft to meet
His father whom he loved the ,st,
Tho fully loved he all the rest.
The child, indeed, was lovlier than
Is common with the sons of men.
No earthly thing could dearer be
Than was my Perseus to me.
No words or sighs can ever tell
The pain. the sorrow, anguish fell,
Which this poor heart OF mine hath
felt,
As by his early grave I've knelt,
And poured out all my soul to Heav'n,
Which did but take what it had given.
.. God whose SOW reign love alone
Canst comprehend and weigh my own,
Give thou me faith and grace to bow
To all which thou requirest now.
To see that all thou dOst is best.
That sorrows sent by Thee are blest.
Mothers and fathers hearts were
wrung,
Brothers and sisters to him chung,
But our Perseus would not stay,
II sweetly smiled and went away.
Go then. sweet child go live with
God.
We know that from thy blest
Thou canst not come to live with
us,
For thou art spirit, we art dust.
But, blessed though to think tina
we
Can come and live in heaven will
thee.
Then, lovingly, one boon we crave
To tend with care thy little gray,
Till we, too, join the spirits figh
To Join with thee in endless light.
Once, walking down
A public street,
Glanced little
Child to meet.
Who ran at full speed
On it's way
Intent upon
Its sport and play.
But suddenly
AS il 'twould fall,
1t stopp'd, lent back
Against q wall
And cunningly
At me did look
Who in il such
Deep interest took.
Just then q mad,
Wild OK came by
AS fast as it
Gould fairy fly
md down the crossing
Street it went
AS il by some
Nal power sent.
And then the child ran
On it's way
As 1.-the and happy
AS the day.
What pow er was that
Unseen, unheard
Which uttered not
A single word,
Yet, stopp'd and held
That infant bound
AS il 'twere fast'n'd
To the ground,
Till instant death
AS 'twere had pass'd
And saved the child
That ran so fast?
That power was Cod
Yes, God alone,
Who sent an angel
From His throne
To save that child.
Some mothers own.
Thus, God hath shielded
From life
In this bleak world
OF danger rife,
My darling boy,
My chiefest Joy,
Until that day
When we shall meet
Around His throne
At Jesus feet.

Frightful Railroad Wreck in Kansas. A
Terrified Passenger Suicides,

A frightful railroad wreck, attended by
serious loss of life and made more terrible by
the self murder Of one of the terrified pas
sengers, occurred at 9 O'Clock Sunday morn.
ing on the Sante Fe road, two miles north
Of Usage City, Kas. The seven dead bodies
have been recovered from the wreck and II is
feared other victims are buried beneath the
debris. The wrecked train was the east-
bound passenger No. 2, the same that had
such thrilling experience with bandits in
New Mexico on Friday night last. The
wreck was caused by the explosion Of the
boiler of the locomotive. The engineer
should have stopped for water at Osage City,
but being behind time, ho endeayorcd to run
to the next tank.
The engineer and fireman both met death
in the wreck. The train had proceeded but
two miles beyond this place. when two ter
rifle explosions were heard, one following
close after the ather.
The locomotive was completely shattered.
The express, baggage and passenger coaches
came crashing-npon the wrecked engine and
the coaches that were ahead were piled up in
one heap Of wreckagc. The coaches in the
rear were all derailed, but the passengers
riding In the rear escaped serious injury.
The wrecked was marked by scenes OF the
widest confusion among the terrified pas
sengers. The nerves OF many were at high
pitch rs n result of their experience with the
crash came the first impression of nearly all
was that the train had been attacked again
by robbers. One passenger, William Beck
Ter, of Los Angeles, Cal, On route TO Chica-
go, seemed TO lose his reason entirely. When
the crush cfrne he drew pistol from his
pocket, and In the presence of q ear full OF
terrified passengers. took his own life Beck
Ter had been drinking heavily. Owing 10
the excitement and confusion little could be
done to rescue the injured and remove the
dead bodies until dawn. Seven bodies were
finally recovered.
The dead are: wm. Becker, Los Angeles,
Cal; Engineer Strump, Topeka, Kan; Fire
man Harry Hollister. Topeka; Wm. Nc
Adams, tramp, riding on the baggage car.
Among those injured are; Mrs. Emma
Maxwell, On editor on the Evening Star,

SERVANT GIRLS IN LONDON.
They Have Their Grievances the Same
Ms in This Lnnd of the Ercc.


II Is probable that London servant
girls OF fair intelligence will not long
consent TO spend their days in cellar
chambers and their nights in such in
human attics as we have described;
nor yet remain without an opportunity
for business-like Improvement, owing
to the incapacity of mistresses TO te1ch
them. Women of the middle class who
need domestic help had better, there
fore, become wise In time; and, first,
they should reduce the style of their
establishments and raise their chanc-
ter. The present state of things Is evil
and absurd; 1t tends to make the pub
lie in their sections mutually contempt
uous instead of universally respectful,
and II thus becomes means and
cause of social degradation. The out
cry of our Londoners about bad trade
Is Otter result of feebleness and
want Of clear dlscernmcnt. There Is,
In fact, excess Of trade in unproduc-
tive vanltlcs, diyerting capital from
reproductive work, and people in the
main are living much above prudent
scnle of outlay. A few save their
money and invest It; but the majority
seek merely to appear perhaps n quar-
ter richer than they actually are, and
thus they make themselves at once
ridiculous and impoverished.

Fatal Railroad Wreck.

By a wreck on the Lehigh Valley about
mile east of Batavia, N. V, one man, Brake
man Kimball, was killed, and Engineer Dem
mis- Mccarthy was fatally injured. East
bound freight train No. $40 stopped on the
main track at Niagara Junction, where the
Lehigh connects with "Peanut" branch of
the New York Central, probably to cool a
hot journal. While standing on the main
line double header, also eastbound came
laundering up behind and crashed into the
rear of the standing train, piling up the cars
for quarter OF a mile along the tracks.
just then westbound freight came along
and added to the devastation by jamming in
to the derailed cars. The wind was blowing
a gale, and some of the cars caught fire.
The fire resisted all efforts to extinguish it
for hours. The wreck is very costly, but It
injured.

KILLED BY A BROTHER.
Young Boy Blows Out Another's Brains
With a Gun.

John Andrews, years of age,a deaf mnte
son of Andrew j. Andrews,of Claypool Mills
Ohio, killed his 3-year-old brother. The boy
climbed upon chair and secured his fathers
shotgun. The younger brother was just get
ting out OF bed, when John pointed the gun
at him and pulled the trigger, blowing the
little ones brains out. The mother was
sleeping in an adjoining room, and awaken
ed by the report of the gun, arrived In time
to find the child dead. 1t is not thought that
murder was the boys intention. He did not
understand the nature Of the weapon and his
aflliction had prevented his faculties from
ripening, and intellectually he was not equal

barge itself was pretty badly weather
beaten, but It was still In very good
condition. 1t was about 100 feet long,
=
had been copper covered, but the na.
tlves had stripped that off. They had
made an attempt to break the craft up,
too. but that was beyond their power.
The experiences of that barge would
be hard to conjecture. It may have
drifted the 1000 odd miles which d.
vide our coast and the Marshalls In
n very short space of time, or 1t might
have taken a remarkably long period"
Inquiry among shipping men as to
the identity of the strange craft failed
to throw any light upon the subject
There is no record Of the loss of any
such barge, and the general impression
Is that 1t was probably swept away
from one of the lower coast ports by
a storm, and carried out to sea, to be
guided by wind and sea to the Mar.
