THE SAD LOVER

Let me not see your eyes.
Nay, grant me not a word.
Lest that my heart be stirred
That silent lies.
You have no love to give:
What should you want with 1t?
Giving. I have no wit
To happy live.
Let be: I, knowing you,
Must love; to love were vain.
Will you for love give pain,
For roses, rue?
Will you unarm me quite?
Behold my only hope:
With Love strongly to cope,
Put him to flight;
Lest he, quite undismayed,
Stow my souls riches by
In one frail bark that
Cannot unlade;
And grave with cruel art
Your print on all my gold,
Whose wealth were quickly told
Did you depart.
All. go: lest love and pain
Make me, who day by day
Live lightly as may,
Grow grave again.
Let be: tired hearts are brittle;
This were so bitter too:
For all my life's love you
Would care SO little.

AS TO CORPORAL PUNISHMENT

A great outcry was made short time
ago against the use of corporal punish
ment in the school. and we were given
to understand that when the establish
ment was reorganized under Demo-
cratic rule there should be nothing but
love used as controlling force. How
about this?
The above is from the Express and re-
fersto the whipping of the mutinous boys
at Whittier school. The reply to the
query is that Trustee. Mrs. Mitchell in
sisted that if the girls department was
properly officered and conducted corpo-
raj punishment for girls was unneces-
sary and that she was utterly opposed
to it. She offered resolution abolish
ing corporal punishment, which was
adopted, and thereafter the school was
reorganized by officers selected by Mrs.
Mitchell. Since that time over eight
months have elapsed and there has been
absolutely no corporal punishment OF
the girls, and this department Of the
school is considered to be in splendid
order and discipline. The girls are i'm
proving as never before in the history of
the school. Doubtless Mrs. Mitchell will
give the Express the benefit Of her views
on corporal punishment for the boys If
she is asked.

ADOPTS A NEW PLAN.
The Gas Company wants Bills Paid When
Due.

The Kenosha Gas, Electric Light &
Fuel company has sent out notice to
each of it's consumers making price
for the future which looks on the face
of it to be raise of 20 cents per 1000
feet for the gas. AS matter of fact, it
the consumers will pay their bills be-
fore the 10Th of each month there is no
raise, but if not paid before that time
the price takes the jump as per the
notice sent out.
The company feels that as soon as
the customers understand the object OF
this move they will willingly pay their
bills on time. 1t seems that heretofore
it has taken the greater portion of the
managers time to collect bills long
overdue. AS consequence the quail
ity of gas has been poor and there have
been all sorts sof mishaps because OF
this fact. Hereafter the manager pro-
poses to spend his time in the best in
terests Of his company by looking after
the gas plant. He cannot do SO il he
must collect bills. So the apparent
raise in price is simply for the purpose
of getting the bills paid up and out OF
the way when they should be. Ii the
bills are not paid the consumer must
pay the cost of the mans time in col
Letting them.

that he is still of the opinion and

pardon was simply justice to an inno-
cent woman. He thought that the

of burying the same in his new lot, but

SEVEN DIRECTORS CHOSEN.
Annual Meeting of Capital Traction
COmnnnN Stool hOlLers.

The annual meeting of the stockholders
of the Capital Traction Company for the
election of a board of seven directors to
serve for the ensuing year was held today
in the directors room of the company at
the power house, E and 14th streets. There
was a large attendance of the capitalists
and directors in the corporation and the
gathering was d most harmonious one.
President George T. Dunlop read spe-
cial report, addressed to the directors Of
the Capital Traction Company. 1t gave
details of various economies introduced
into the management of the road since the
present administration began in 1S93 In
regard to the capitalization of the road the
report said:
For years the stockholders of the WASH
inston and Georgetown Company had been
clamoring for a capitalization commensu-
rate with the value OF their property. and
it was the ardent desire of the board of di-
Iectors to satisfy this commendable ex-
pectation and to iiquidate the large bonded
Indebtedness which rested upon the fran
chiSe and property of the company. 1t will
be remembered that many efforts were
made in different sections, and all entirely
without success. AT last, when there
seemed small hope mat anything would be
done. an act OF Congress was passed which
afforded an opportunity for the accom-
p.ishment of the desired object, but in an
entirely unexpected way, by uniting the
interests OF the stockholders of the Wash
ington and Georgetown Company with
those of the Rock Creek Railway Com
pany A sale OF the road and its securities
was proposed and unanimously acquiesced
in by the stockholders. By the terms of
the sale they received in face value OF the
new stock five and one-half times the par
value of the old stock and double the par
value of the bonds with a largely in
creased capitalize tion-just what they had
been clamoring for.
1t must necessarily follow that the diyi-
dends paid on the new basis are not as
great a percentage of the capital stock as
formerly, and there seems to have deyel-
oped disposition among some of the
stockholders to fret because they are not
larger. Such a change, however could ef-
feet no increase in the profits; for as the
receipts from the Chevy Chase road do no
more than pay the operating expenses, the
relation of receipts to expenditures on the
whole would not be changed thereby 1t is
unreasonable, therefore, to expect at this
time that more can be paid out in diyi-
dends in the aggregate than was done on
the old basis.
At the conclusion of the reading the
polls were opened, and the voting COM
menced for the directors. The only ticket
proposed contained the names of George
I. Dunlop. Charles c. Glover, Henry Hurt,
John q. Parke John r. Mclean, Edward
j. Stellwagen and William Manice. There
was general regret at the non-appearance
of the name of Robert Beall on the ticket
but Mr.. Beall had withdrawn in order to
permit the New York holders of the COM
