Wings of Dove.
AT sunset, when the rosy light was dying
Far down the pathway Of the west
saw lonely dove in silence flying
To be at rest.
Pilgrim of air, cried, could hut borrow
:, Thy wandering wings. thy freedom blest,
Id hy away from every careful sorrow
And find my rest.
But when the dusk filmy veil was weaving
Back came the dove to seak her nest
Deep In the forest where her mate was grieying-
There was true rest.
Peace, heart of mine! no longer sigh to wander;
Lose not thy life In fruitless quest
There are no happy islands over yoniie-;
Come home and rest

charges that on March ], DR.. Pender-
CAST threatened to pronounce the tab

He also charges that DR.. Limerick,
was the middle I man and that the
amount demanded was finally reduc-

PRISONERS TRANSFERRED.

Grave Consequence May Arise From
Different Constructions of Law.
Michigan City, Ind, April 12-Prob-
ably the largest transfer of convicts
that ever took place in this country
was successfully carried out today.
Two hundred and ninety one prisoners
from the Michigan City prison were
put on a special MonOn train and ia
ken to JefferSOnville. while from the
latter place three hundred and fifty
six prisoners We're sent here. The
prisoners may have to b. re-transferr-
ed on account of legal complications
At the last session of the state Leg
iSlature a law was passed converting
the Southern penitentiary into re-
formatOry and the Michigan City
prison into Il penitentiary for the
state. The law provided that all pris-
Oners under 80 years of age serving
their first sentence be transferred to
Jacksonville, the exceptions being
those sentenced for treason or muir
der. Indeterminate sentences of law
also We're passed.
About two weeks ago. however,
Judge Hubbard. of the ST. Joseph
circuit. in sentencing Il young man
named Allison for larceny, declared
the indeterminate law uncOnStitutiOn-
al Allison was given two years sen
tence and sent to Michigan City. The
prison officials refused to accept him
at first but upon the advice of the at
tOrney general did so. Should the
question be carried to the Supreme
court and Judge Hubbard'S decision
upheld, grave consequences may fol-

BOND GIVEN.

Chicago, April 12.-President Chas.
w. Spalding of the defunct Globe Saw
ings bank, arrived in Chicago last
night on the Baltimore and Ohio road,
coming from Grand Calumet Heights,
Ind, and leaving the train before it
reached the city depot. After consul
tatiOn with some of his friends whom
he met privately he went to the res
idence of William 7. Hail. justice of
the peace, where he gave bonds for
his appearance in court in answer to
the charges of receiving money when
he knew the bank to be inSOlvent
This charge had been made by
Frank L. Stone. Justice Hall placed
the amount of the bond at $500, and
set April 10 for the hearing of the
case. 1t was nearly midnight when
the bond was signed.

New York, April PA dispatch TO
the Herald from st. Petersburg says:
The Greeks are seeking in every

by the Powers.
Regarding the attitude of Europe.
Nis-a-Nis attacks state that the ag-

Judging from the words of Il lead

not stop either TO consider the cost.

results il must entail. He says the
Greeks have seventy thousand troops,
with which, he adds. they can defeat
the Turks. whom he knows have not
more than 100000 troops.
AT the Turkish embassy they have
had no news for five days.
The general opinion here is that if
the Greeks have decided on war. it is
good thing. as the matter will he
promptly settled by the Turks.
zone of the signs of the moment is
the Greek question which is beginning
to attract more attention in CONNER

Greece is ruined and without credit
and probably without future on

the political writer. NJ. GOldstrem,
says. in reference to the strong Rus
sian policy which has invaded the
situation everywhere: There are ira
ditiOns. but woe be to those countries
where the realization of those tradi-
tions is carried out in the streets. In
the spectre of international politics
public opinion is a weathercOck and
not always in the direction of good
sense 1t brings help to none. but
only complexities matters.
Italy. France, and Australia have
been weather cocks against their
wills. Only the Russian note can per-

the sinister forces which are working
in the act where antagonism and re-
