A Serious Love Spell.

From the Norwich IN. " Telegraph.
A young lady sings in our choir
Whose hair is the color of phoir,
But her charm is unique,
She has such fair clique,
II is really a Joy to nhoir.
Whenever she looks down the aisle
She gives me a beautiful smaisle,
And of all of her beaux
am certain she sheaux
She likes me the best all the whaisle.
Last Sunday she wore a new sacque,
Low cut az the front and the bacque,
And a lovely bouquet
Worn In such a cute wuet
AS only few girls have the knacque.
Some day. ere she grows too antique,
In marriage her hand / shall sique;
II she's not a coquette,
Which I'd greatly regruette,
She shall share my six dollars a wique.

WIN Excite Re.entment.
From the New York Times Dem.)

The Dingley tariff will excite the popu-
lar resentment as the Mckinley tariff ex-
cited it. The question is not one of sched-
ules, but of principle, and the principle in
all its naked ugliness is set forth in the
Presidents message. Mr.. Mckinley has
learned nothing since 1890.

If there have been credentials presented
by any newly-elected senator In years that
Senator Hoar could not find fault with,
the fact has escaped attention. 1t seems
that Senator Hoar, or the committee on
elections, would draw up form to be
used; one that would cover all of the
technical points TO the satisfaction of the
Senate. Under present circumstances, it
seems that every governor draws the Gre
dentials according TO his own IDEAS

If there is anything like luck afioat
whether it be good or bad luck, the drum
mer is pretty sure TO catch it. A Balti-
more drummer has just taken in large
piece of good luck. Several years ago he
passed some spare time in Minneapolis by
paying court to the beautiful and accom-
plished daughter of a wealthy merchant
Most of the boys do that sort Of thing
when they are out on the road, and con-
slider themselves well repaid for their
time. The Baltimore drummer had the
particularly good fortune to find favor in
the old gentleman's eyes, and sold him
big bills of goods. Later when the drum
mer had ben transferred to another route,
and had got married to an Oriole belle and
forgotten all about the Minneapolis girl
and her papa, he received notification to
the effect that his old friend the merchant
had died and left him $4,000 in his will
The drummer rather suspects that the
merchant made the will several years ago,
and forgot to change it.

thought, would favor an interval of four
years, or even five years. but is not will

1t is to be hoped that the matter Of the
heated corn in that Galveston elevator will
be speedily and thoroughly investigated
The ports whose business has been affect
ed by shipments of grain through southern
ports will eagerly seize upon the incident
and use it to the detriment of all southern
ports. There have been stories circulated
with regard to the heating of grain in
southern elevators because of the adverse
climatic conditions. The immense Ship
ments of grain from New Orleans in per-
feet condition had about broken down the
effect of such stories. But now they will
probably be revived. 1t is believed an in
vestigation will show that bad manage
ment was responsible for the heating of
the corn in Galveston. If So the showing
ought TO be made at once so that other
southern ports may not suffer because of
it.

ING THEIR VIEWPOINT STAY. WITHOUT COME AGAIN.
 That which is soon out of mind, we may rest assured, left no strong impres- sion as it was passing; but that which sticks in the memory and to which one often fondly reverts, was, we know, pleasant as it came and more pleasant still to look back upon. Thus it WAS with the stay of the Fresh Air children here; the following letters show it was something they cannot quite get over. Of course they all want to come again and are not slow in giving a hint about their wishes; but that is very natura. and childlike, and we are glad that this brief sojourn away from home did not destroy their childlikeness. As those who had a part in the entertainment of the children read these words of sincere thankfulness, they cannot but feel that these children were some of "the least of these," unto whom kindness shown is the same as kindness granted to Him who is Lord of Heaven and earth.
 This letter comes from Willard Par sons, of the New York Tribane Fresh Air fund, who sent out over 4O,0OO chil- dren last year. It may be said of MT Parsons that he gives his time to the work without any compensation, that he Is man of considerable wealth, and when funds ran low this summer, rather than disappoint the children who had been promised an outing, he sent out several parties at his own expense. He wrote to the undersigned just after the NeWtown party returned, and as the let ter concerns many others, it is printed here:
 New York, August 19, 1897. My Dear Mr Barker:
 Word has just reached me of the safe arrival in the city of the children whom you have been entertain. ing at Newtown during the last two weeks, and I take this opportunity to thank you for the great good you have done. Two weeks of fresh air means great deal more to poor city children than is generally imagined, and from the enthusiasm of these particular children concerning their visit I can vouch for big improvement in every one of them. 1 wish you would extend my heartiest thanks to all who have aid ed the Fresh Air work in Newtown, for their trouble and kindness, and, thank ing you especially for your personal ser- vice, remain,
 Very truly yours,

BELL Case REOPENED.
Investigation Into the Financial
Condition of the
Estate.
At Present Many of the Assets Are
Admitted to Be Almost
Worthless.

The Bell case was reopened in Judge
Coffey's court yesterday afternoon, the
time being spent in inquiries regarding
the real value of the assets of the estate
| and the possibilities of its ever being set.
tied.
George Staacke, one CT the executors of
the estate, took the stand, and for I rec
hours waded through a most appalling
array of figures. The first 10 be brought
MP was the Bellevue Agricultural and De-
velopment Company. The stock in this
company is divided into 10000 shares, Of
which the late Mr.. Bell owned 500, and
by paying the assess ments on 5000 more
shares owned by Mr.. Maxwell these
had also come into the possession of the
Bell estate. although they have never
been transferred Oh the books of the COM
paly.
What is the present value of this
stock" asked Mr.. Schroeder.
well, that would be very hard TO de-
termine." said Mr.. S;aaoke, las the value
Of mining property huctuates so much.
At present, however, l think it would be
| almost posi- bic to get rid of it at any
price. In fact we have been unable TO Sc
cure purchasers for this property.
The next item taken nnder nsid era
ton was the Standard Quicksilver Com
pany, in which the estate holds shares
valued at Sal, 610. This stock also Mr..
Staacke ad united TO be worthless at the
present time, although he claimed IL was
worth The iull amount when the state
ment was made out in Septem Der, 1895.
Mr.. Schooer continued down a long
list OF figures, which showed that the
estate has apparently deprecated about
| $500, goo, while the interest against it
! amounts 10 $3.50 per day.
'tIsu't the really in worsa nm
dition to-day than when you took hold OF
il three years ago? asked Mr.. Schroeder.
NO; on,the contrary, think il has al
N ost doubled in value"
| This Mr.. Schooler attempted to disproye
| by running over the names OF mum Der O
| companies in which the estate was savily
! interested. the majority of which, Mr.
! Staacke ad mitted. were almost worthless
| just at present, but this he attributed
| mainly 10 the financial depression of the
| past few years.
When asked why he had not attemp ted
/ to settle the estate, Mr.. Staacke replied
| that it would have been i'm possible 10 10
| SO without sacrificing a great portion of
| il. and his he did not think he would be
| justified in doing. If the assets ad beer
| salab the estate would have been settle d
! long ago, but at present it would be i'm
| possible to raise 500, 600 within sixty DAYS
! without making great sacrifice.
1t was also brought out in the case that
of The $500 per month allowed Mrs. Bell
| for household expenses $1,000 per month
had been used to pay up the premiums on
certain claims which she was anxious to
| keep.
The case will be resumed at o'clock to-
daY
