Stacey Parsons Case.

The case against Stacey Paxson
as a suspicious character came up
before the recorder this morning.
Paxson was accused of making
collections from the citizens osten-
sibly for Mrs. Parkhurst, widow of
a soldier killed on San Jacinto
day, and not making the proper
returns to her. His father, living
in another state, heard OF his sons
trouble and sent him a sum of
money sufficient to cover the short
age, and before the recorder this
morning 1t was agreed that II Pax
son would make a list of the con.
tributions he had received, the
amount would be deducted and
the case dismissed. With a soldier
from the post this morning he
made the rounds OF the business
portion Of the city and will report
tomorrow.

NEW YORK, May 20.-The eigh-

The schedule of business of the as

furtherance Of the benevolent and
missionary work of the denomin-

regular orders is the consideration
of incidental matters which have
great interest to many who are

Is report to be submit

DIR. David r. Breed, of Pittsburg,

pate this report, which is regarded
with widespread interest, has been
unavailing, and it will probably
be carefully concealed till it is
ready to be presented to the as

COSTLY RESIDENCE BURNED.
Third Fire On South Heights-No Fire
Protection.

Third Fire On South Heights-No Fire
Protection.
The handsome two.story frame
residence of Mr.. Thos. Devices, on
South Heights, burned to the
ground last night about IL 80 o.
clock, the fire catching from small
electric light machine in a little
workshop adjoining the residence.
Most of tho household furniture
was saved by the neighbors. The
fire department responded prompt
ly but as the nearest fire hydrant
was fully one-fourth Of mile
away, the fire apparatus was
useless. The chief, with his men,
devoted their attention to fighting
the fire with buckets Of water to
prevent it spreading to adjoining
residences, some OF which were
scorched.
The burned building was valued
at about $4,000 and was insured
for 1900.
This is the third recent fire on
South Heights, in each case the
buildings being totally destroyed
because of insufficient water facil-
tiles and lack of fire protection.
The residents of this populous ad-
dition are very anxious for aid
from the city.

PARiTY-AN ALLEGORY

BY. JAMES G.. CLARK.
Brother Jonathan owned a beautiful horse
That moved like d prince on the world $
race course
Only three and twenty years ago.
But an English jockey came. one day
And TO hostler John did slyly say:
That's hellegant 'orse you ave, ye
know,
But the beastly thing is deuced slow
To wat e might be If you'd feed him
And taEe all the blarsted oats away"
And the jockey tipped the hostler's hand,
Then sailed away to his native land.
But the horse waxed thin as fam
ished crow.
Why, the beast grows poor, but I'll
That his ide will shine and his TANKS
An nd he'll Ell prance on the turf and trot
Or the 'eaviest load will heasily draw
If you'll feed i'm on public faith and
straw
And keep i'm away from that green
That is making i'm slow and dull as
Now do this, Johnnie, and over the
I'll bear the news to the 'orse thieves
ONE
And your face shall hang on the stable
With. your Hinglish pals in Roth
AS the only American financier'
That the Hinglish thieves can call
their peer"
And. tipping the hostler's palm once more,
He sailed again to his native shore.
But 10! While the horse grows faint and
weak
The jockey returns. and exclaims, with
cheek
AS high and hard as a pyramid
While Jonathan swears and shifts his
quid.
And the jockey to Johnnie slyly winks,
And Johnnie appears as grave as the
Sphinx
THAT silver gray is fra,l. thin cuss
And We cawnt trade the mammal off
on us .tA6
Till ye bring i'm up to parity
With our blooded Hinglish stations
See?"
And the hostlers honest" face looks
down
