iDtHNeT IOSl.D
I vividly recall the day long, long ago,
Pauline,
When | was thirty years Of age, and you
were sweet sixteen.
An airy, merry, laughing sprite, a match
less little bud,
Just blooming i'm the lovely bower OF ten
der wOmanhOOd:
yet recall the grateful smile which DER
your young face spread
When / congratulated you, my hand upon
your head
And wished you many glad returns Of
that glad natal day.
And breathed the hope that all your life
might be as sunny May.
Again in after years 1 gazed into your
eyes of blue.
When l was nearing thirty-six and you
were twenty-five.
A lovely woman, ripe with grace, q happy
All! many heart you told me then you'd
cast away, Paulinel
1 twitted you about your years, and,
laughingly, you said
You'd grown older as the wheels of time
had onward Sped
And yet within your pretty eyes. as on a
printed page,
read the lines Of clinging fear you felt
OF coming age.
And now again we meet. Pauline my
head is bald and gray,
The fires of youth no longer light my eyes
with merry play,
And yet your cheeks are all aglow with
youthful, peaehy flush
am not rude enough TO hint you do It
with brush
within your eyes are traces of the glances
soft and bright,
Which once l told you seemed to me as
sunbeams In their flight.
All. Father Time has been more harsh |
with me. dear girl, than you
I now am nearly sixty-eight; you yet are |

NI,KINLEY Is "PESTERED.o

AS soon as President Mckinley was
inaugurated the darkies began to emerge
from the interstices of the political wood
pile and demand their rights with i'm
perative insistency. And this insistency
has, 1t seems, been steadily increasing.
Indeed a special from Washington to
the Baltimore Sun says that the "colored
ofice-seekers have kicked up more OF
rumpus since the incumbency of the
present administration than under any
Of its predecessors" Delegation after
delegation of negroes has visited, and
continues to visit, the White House, to
present the claims Of their race. The
President is being freely criticised by the
negrophiles for his want of appreciation
of the man and the brother and we are
told that no white politicians or FOUNDERS
could be more importunate than the
negro pie-hunters.
The President has thrown number
OF slices Of pie of various sizes to the
colored contingent, but the cry Is. still
they come. The demand daily gathers
force, and the clamor is made all the
more disagreeable to the presidential ear
by reason of the fact that the negro
leaders, following the example Of the
white leaders, are squabbling among
themselves over the question of the dis
tribution Of the patronage
One reason given for the extraordinary
rush of colored office-seekers is that an
Unprecedented profigacy of ante-election
promises was INDUCED in. 1t is said
that the hopes Of the negroes were never
raised so high since the days Of the
forty acres and mule" delpsion. and
certainly there seems no question that |
Mckinley is 'pestered" by the negro as
never a President was so ''pestered" be- !
fore. Verify, the fourteenth and fifteenth |
amendments have made the negro an |
"old man Of the sea" to the Republican
party. In one respect. however, the negro
viewed in that light differs from his
prototype. The more hilarious he be-
comes-on promises-the flrmer he clings

A Romantic Marriage,

LEXINGTON. VA, November H.
Special -Another romantic wedding
took place here last evening. Mr.. James
T. Sandrdge, Of Goshen, and Miss Het-
tie p. Bell, daughter Of Mr.. Joseph X.
Bell, of Goshen, were out for a drive,
when they suddenly decided 10 come here
and get married. After some trouble the
license was procured, and they were
united in marriage at the Presbyterian
parsonage by the Rev. DR.. Thornton
Whaling. The newly welded couple
spent the night here with friends and left
for Goshen this morning. Mr.. Sandridge
left tonight for Florida, where he has a
position with a well-known winter re-
sort. He was not accompanied by his
bride, as she declined to go and leave
her father. Their marriage was a COM
plete surprise TO the friends OF the cou-
pie, although they had been engaged for
some time.

Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1897-11-28

In a letter TO the Fourth Ward Demo
cratic Club of Norfolk. after expressing
regret that he could not attend the
clubs Thanksgiving banquet, Senator
Daniel thus defines the meaning and
duty of Democracy:
Democracy means brave and unrelent-
ing battle against all organizations that
do not stand for true American princi-
pies. 1t cannot prevail by one battle
or by a dozen battles. 1t must wage war
from generation TO generation for peo-
pies rights-it must lay siege to every
citadel that lies across its pathway. The
brilliant victories Of 1897 should only en-
courage us 10 burnish our armor for 1888,
1899 and for the great conflict OF 1900 In
rejoicing over the last battle won. pre-
pare for the next that is to be fought"
This has the right ring.
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1897-11-28

An abstract Of the annual report Of
secretary-of-the-Navy Long. sent out
from Washington. says that he asks for
appropriations for the running expenses
of the navy amounting to s22, 232 72s. IS.
and sS,440,273 for the increase of the
navy, a total Of So, 81, OOl. So" The an
preparations for the current year ending
ably more than this amount. They were,
for running expenses, s20179, 451.19. and
for increase sl3,9S37S3, a total OF s34,1l3,-
23I19. The Secretary recommends that
the authorization of new ships by the
coming Congress be limited to one bat
tleship for the Pacific coast, where, af-
ter the five now under construction are
completed, there will be only two, while
on the Atlantic there will be seven, and
also to a few torpedo-boats and torpedo
boat destroyers, both OF which are COM
paratively Of little cost, and more Of
which are desirable in order TO bring
this swift. mobile and handily effective
arm of the service up to it's place in the
general scheme for coast defence"
If as claimed by the advocates of Ha-
waiian annexation, the annexation OF the
islands will become an accomplished
fact at the next session of Congress, 1t
will probably prove the part of wisdom
to swap our naval forces on the Atlantic
and the Pacific one for the other. Again,
If these advocates are not overconfdent
II might be the part of wisdom for the
Secretary OF the Navy to be more ex-
travagant in his requests.
