SAILING.

Come-could we choose a happier lot
Than golden August weather.
This sweet fresh breeze, this little yacht,
And you and l together?
Come-for bright sun, skies broad and
blue,
And whispering waters WOO US;
When wave and sky and sunshine WOO,
Denying would undo US.
Come-for the weather is to be
Fair, with west winds prevailing
And here is room for you and me;
So you and L go sailing.
Through happy waves that laugh below
The happier yacht is leaping,
As If from very JOY to know
It holds you in It's keeping.
The glad sun sees you from on high
And glows to be your lover,
No fairer sight 'twixt sea and sky
He finds the whole world over,
His golden beams light up our lee
And in our wake lie trailing;
Well wags the world for you and me
When you and l go sailing.
And as we scud before the breeze.
And as the salt waves sting US,
We ask what greater joys than these
The kindly fates can bring US.
For now with never a listener by
Loves silence may be broken;
TO silent sun and silent sky
Our secret shall be spoken.
Wen tel it to that laughing sea
ABOVE the west winds wailing-
joys to be for you and me
When you and l go sailingI

Lobanoffs Death.
BOTH DRAMATIC AND IMPORTANT
The Russian Minister of Foreign Attain Q
Died Suddenly While Travelling
From Vienna With the Czar.

London, Sept IA dispatch to the
Telegraph from Kloff says that Prince
Lobanoff- -Rostovsky, Russian minister
of foreign affairs, died suddenly while
travelling from Vienna to that place.
The prince was in the company Of the
czar at the time of his death, and his
demise was wholly without warning.
The hews of the death of Prince Lo-
banoff -Rostovsky, according to the dis.
patch, caused great excitement through
out Russia, where the personality of
the minister of foreign affairs was con-
sidered to be second only to the czar
himself Prince Lobanof- -Rostovsky
exercised storing foreign policy-a
policy which was regarded in some
quarters as threatening the peace of the
world.
Besides his present work, Prince Lo

ing of works on Russian history. The
tour he had planned to take with the
czar through the countries of Western
Europe was expected to be most far.

ment of the Eastern question.
Francis Joseph paid Prince Lobanoff-
Rostovsky the highest honors during
the recent visit of the czar to Vienna,
and his death at the present juncture
is regarded as a most dramatic and
important event, upsetting as it does
all posi- bilities of conferences between
the foreign ministers of the great
powers and compelling the czar to
change his plans concerning his tour
through Germany, France and Eng.
land.

THE LEADvlLLE STRIKE.

Has Air ady Lost Two Million Dollars
and Settlement Not in Sight.
Leadville, Colo, Sept. 1.-This is
the seventy fifth day Of the strike, and
marks the inception Of, the most import
ant action taken on either side, as for
the first time since long before the
strike began, the great pumps in two of
the leading mines, the Bonair and
Penrose, are idle. The order for stop
page came yesterday afternoon and was
obeyed at once. The movement means
that the mine-owners hope to force the
union to declare the strike off, or that
they think to avoid trouble by closing
down on everything and allowing the
mines to fill with water, rather than
submit to the dictation of the union.
The strike has already cost 50, 900, 900,
and there is nothing to indicate that it
is any nearer settlement than on the
day it began.

to overcome troubles that were by no

and maiden had met and loved, but
when they proposed marriage the girls
father objected, though her mother
bade her do as she wished. Hartig
was without means, and met with lit
tie encouragement IN his matrimonial
aspirations from his parents and
brothers.
Today's developments show that the
young lovers discussed their poverty,
the parental opposition to their mar

dark prospects, until death seemed pre-
ferable to life.
Their journey to this city Sunday
night. and the tragedy which will un-
doubtedly result in the death of both,
was the result. From the train they
went direct to the National hotel.
When safely locked in their room,
preparations for death seemed to have

who broke into their room found both
bodies lying across the bed, both
dressed as the young people had come
in from the street. Their hats lay
side by side .on the table, together with
the notes stating their determination
to die, and requesting that their bodies
