LOVING LETTERS.
BY RICHARD REAL,

Letters from my fathers household.
lsled amid the far off sea
Swift singed messengers of gladness
Bearing rest and peace to me;
Fathers calm aud sacred counsel
Mothers large and shining tears:
Aud my sisters brimming blessings.
Flung across the mighty years.
y the dear aud loving letters
otmy childhood's thronging dreams;
y the ancient low-roofed cottage.
with lis quaint old oaken beams:
W the hannts among the meadows-
o. the mossy gard+n-sea
" here tie scented apple binssonls
swept ~ waves about my feet.
Aud sit and mise tpnn it
I'LL | seen 10 see it all
srr The rich grapes purple clusters
Dionring frnIn the leaf, wall !;
See ihe mellow peais arlpaning-
Breathe tue Incense OF the flowers.
Watch the steady honseclock marking.
All tie pulses at the hours.
Fathers hair is growing whittier
M tier's step il feebler now;
ba. ti,t oi'ien queen like beauty
I4'ngers yet around her brow
Aud The low sweet tones that thrilled
me.
And the lips used to press;
. the years can never uln them
f'ram their holy tenderness,
And The fia aslllng eyes Of laughter
Aud the speech ot uierry senrn !:
Aud TIE ripping auburn rinsiets
OF cur l"usehold's Youngest born-
These have melted aud have deepened
To The glory and tile grace
Of the tranquil maiden mnying
Thuughtfully through ihe place.
Letters from my fathers household.
lslsd amid the far off sea
Swift winged messengers oe gladncss.
Bearing rest aud peace to me;
Let the foaming world roar onward
Let the sinless children play;
Aud the Young bride clasp her husband

yer and we ask all people who believe
in bimetallism. and in an honest and
incorruptible judiciary to join in re-
electing him to the Supreme bench of
the state.
Nominations for Supreme Court JUS
tice were next in honor.
Il. b. Mcdonald of Alamosa named
Charles u. IIayt. In doing so he said
that he was in favor of the platform
that had just been adopted but he be-
lieved that Senator Wolcott and his
friends would yet become Silver Repub-
licans. Judge Hayt was Silver Re
publican.
No other nominations We're made.
On motion of A. NJ. Stevenson the
nomination of Judge Hayt was made
by acclamatiop. He was called upon
for speech and responded. He was
asked whether he would also accept
nomination from the Mckinley Re-
publicans if it involved an acceptance
of the St Louis platform, and he said
that he would not.
The convention then adjourned.

Our consul at Jerusalem makes the
following report on American citizens
in Palestine: From the consular rec
ords 1t appears that there are $50 citi-
zens of the United States residing In
Palestine. OF this number 43s are Jews,
who are only nominally Americans,
having lived in the United States just
long enough to obtain citizens papers
and passports. The majority of these
emigrated from Russia to the United
States and thence to Palestine. OF the
other 92 American citizens. nearly all
have come here because of peculiar
religious views, and among them may
be found all possible shades of Chris
tiap beliefs The one idea that seems
to possess all, to a greater or less de-
gree, is that of the second advent of the
Lord, This is by all considered to be
an event soon to take place in Jeru-
salem. Some of them during the period
of waiting, are suffering for the neces-
stiles OF life, but are content to endure
priyations in the hope of being present
and witnessing the Lords coming. The
Spoffordite colony, or "overcomers," as
ahey call themselves, have recently
been increased by an addition of III
dish-Americans, mostly from Chi
cago. Just how many of these are citi-
zens of the United Staes. the consulate
is not informed, because Of their refusal
to register. The leader, Mr.. Spofford
LAYS claim to prophetic powers, and
claiming to be under direct protection
of the Almighty. Is averse to having
any human power interfere. AS they
are a peaceable and law-abiding COM
munity, or have been for some years,
the consulate has not been called upon
in this regard.

one to contract to deliver you over the
summit-at any price-but you can get
over for about 80 cents pound If you
are willing to wait and contract by
sections. The packers at this end of
the trail do not like to contract far

and ono has to hire another outfit.
At Dyea the Indians are moving the

is no trouble to contract to get ones

come expecting to get over this fali

boards on both trails from landing to
