MY BABY.

What shall call her when we meetH
She knew no other name on earth
Than that which mothers find so sweet.
Though words DO cold and little worth,
"Our BABY" seemed a name complete.
But now so many years have flown
Since from my fearful gaze she passed
How shall in the great unknown,
Where all is new, and strange and vast
How shall l there reclaim my ownY
What sweet rare title does she bear9
For when / meet her on that shore,
Grown wise and great as she is fair,
my baby" can say no more,
For shall be the infant there

THE OUTLOOK
FOR BUSINESS
E. J. Mitten, a Millionaire
of Boston, on the
Prospects.
Everybody East Expects a Spe-
cial Session and Tariff
Revision.
Will Start lille Wheels, Employ Men
and Cause Large Investments
Ev,rywhere.

Z. J. Mitten, a millionaire member OF
the great dry-goods house of Jordan,
Marsh g. Co., the largest in New England,
is at the Palace. He has been about three
weeks in different parts OF Southern Cali
fornia, and will now be in this City and
vicinity for a short time. He is accom-
panied by Mrs. Mltten, William Fl. Wood,
a leading lumber dealer of Boston, and
Mrs. Wood.
Mr.. Mitten has been for zine years a
men ber of The large house alluded to, but
he has been connected with it since his
boyhood, some thirty five years. He is
an intimate friend of General Charles H.
Taylor, proprietor of the Boston Globe,
who was here recently. Probably no man
in New England is better informed as to
the condition of business in the East.
"In the East there is general feeling, 4"
said Mr.. Mitten, "that soon after Mr.. Nc.
Mckinley is inaugurated a special ses-
sion OF Congress will be called and the
tariff raised. If we get that done we will
be enabled to start a vast number of fac
tories and give employment to men now
idle.
"The revision, if properly made, will
goods, and we will then make these goods
at home. Instead of sending our money
for foreign goods we will keep it at home,
and give employment 10 men who now
cannot get it. With employment they can
buy goods.
There is just as much money in the
country now as there ever was. Boston is
full of it, and New York is, and nearly all
large places have 1t in liberal amounts,
but those men who have it won't put it
out till they see they can get returns for it..
THE men who have been elected to
Congress are expected to at once give re-
lief to the people. The men VINO put
them there are waiting for them to do it.,
and it is the belief in the East that Con-
gress knows tn s is true. and will proceed
at once to reconstruct the tariff.
II am surprised to see that California,
which is bigger than all New England and
one or two other States thrown in, has al
most no manufactures. In the East we
have them everywhere. 1t seems to me
that at least California might manufacture
q great many of the things which the
people use, wherea as 1 am told that little
more is done than produce things in the
rough and sell them. And the freights,
some saw, eat up most of the profits"
Mr.. Mitten's firm spends from S115 600
to $3.50, 900 year in advertising. He and
his friends will, after seeing this City,
visit Monterey, Santa Cruz, San Jose and
the Lick Observatory.

In view of the great oil fields here, Mr..

this he did not confirm. He will remain
here several days in the interest OF his e1.

Piedmont. w. Va, January 2-Chas.
II. Schuherd, blacksmith, twenty-five
years of age, and who has been a res
ident of this community for the last
two years, committed suicide last
night.
The deed was done at Barton, Md,
village on the C. & P. Railroad, about
four miles north Of this place.
The young man went there yesterday
and stopped over night at the Barton
Hotel.
This morning. when called for
breakfast, there was no response, and
no further effort was made to call him
until time for dinner. There still be-
ing no answer the door of the room
was broken in and he was found lying
with a bullet wound in the forehead
and a pistol by his side.
Three sealed letters were found in
the room. One was addressed to Will
liam Schram, of Barton; one TO c. NJ.
Lewis, of this place, and the other to
Miss Florence Andrews, of Barton.
The letters were ready for mailing.
An open note was also found, con-
tanning the following:
Please bury me at Barton. Have
Mr.. Nice preach the funeral sermon,
and my Sunday School class act as pail
bearers. l leave this world for love.
Goodbye to ALL
The deceased had been in business
for himself at this place for about a
year past. He came to this locality
from Gormania, w. Va. 1t is said that
his father is an oysterman, and resides
about twelve miles from Baltimore.
He has a sister living in Washington
City, and two brothers in the United
States navy. He was a member of
Piedmont conclave, order of Heptas
ophs, and carried an insurance policy
in that fraternity for $1,000; his father
being the beneficiary. His reputation
about here was the very best, and the
friends and acquaintances of the young
man are shocked at the deed.
The letter to Mr.. Lewis, who is
prominent member of the Heptasophs,
reads as fOllOWS
"Jan'y 1st, 1897.
Mr.. Lewis:
Dear Brother-Will you oblidge me
