Mr.. Editor: AS you published
a few extracts for me some time
back, taken from some of the great
poets to show what they thought
of hunting the chase, etc. | would
like to have something on diffor-
ont order from tho poets.
The Cotton Plant states that
not long ago Mr.. Dana, of the
New York Sun, was asked to give
ten Of the best short poems, in his
opinion, in the English language,
and soon after vote was solicited
by loading paper from promi-
mont statesmen, writer's and jour
nalists. The ten samo selected bv
Mr.. Dana received the largest
number of votes. The following
is the vote;
On His Blindness, by John Mil.
ton, 4l votes; When in Disgrace,
10y Shakcspear 36 votes; Bugle
Song, by Tennyson 3G votes; Ban
nockburn, by Burns 81 votes: Od,

votes; Thanatopsis by VIM. c.

Some Of these last would prob
ably be moro appreciated by the

Members Of the Legislature arc

problem which is now puzzllng

From the answers given by those

There will be triangular fight,
the forces engaged being the pro-
hibitionists. the dispensarites, the
saloonitcs. The battle may be-
gin III the legislature at its next
session and may be fought to Il
finish. but it is probable that the
issue will be dodg"d by that body
and left to tn" people for decision
IN the next election.

The condemned man. Joe Fife. was in
better spirits last night than he has been

Early in the day q cOlored minister OF
the gospel, Rev. A. Binga, from Manches-
ter called 20 see him. and the two held an
earnest conversation.
The preacher pointed out the path 10
righteousness. and told the wretched con-
demnod youth that he was not entirely
forsaken. that there was still hope for him
In the world beyond.
Joe asked that he pray and together
they knelt down In the dingy cell. with
fits four bare walls and its little barred
window. and the colored preacher offered
up one Of those fervcnt prayers that are
characteristic Of the race.
The criminal seemed relieved. and then
several chapters IN the Bible were read
and explained TO him.
The boy was asked TO sing and the
touching hymn. Come 20 Jesus was
sung The strains Of the hymn rang
woirdly through the prison, and even the
ribald lest Of the prisoners below I'm the
corridor was hushed. The hymn was
taken up and an through that portion
OF the jail the prisoners softly sang the
beautiful hymn.
a moments silence followed the sound.
and then Joe said:
pray for me Mr.. Binga. I want to be
a better boy: I've been very bad
Before going the preacher marked sew
eral passages In the Bible and told Joe to
read them. and then ne left. promising to
see him again.
Now is the time to relieve your mind.
and confess your sins. Joe. said the re-
porter. you will feel better when you

Two colored women with a message
from his mother. also. called to see the
boy They expressed great sympathy and
told him his mother would come TO see
him I'm a day or two.

Aggravatlng Case of Gross Negligence on
the Part Of Driver.

A particularly aggravating case of care
lessncss which came near resulting I'm a
serious accident occurred yesterday morn
ing az gao O'Clock on west Main street a
short distance below Belvidere. At that
time MOtOrman Harry r. WoodcOck was
on his regular trip. and was coming east
ward In charge of a summer car.
The car was running az an ordinary
rate, and a man driving in buggy came
up behind on the right-hand side. The
motorman paid no attention to him,
and It never occurred to any one that
the man wouldn't have better sense than
to do what he did.
He touched uD his horse and just as
he reached a point about six feet ahead
of the car he deliberately turned the horse
TO the left and tried TO cross the track.
Motorman Woodcock did his level best
10 stop the man from trying 10 cross The
track when he saw what the fellow WAS
up 10. lie yelled AT the stupid driver
and so did half q dozen passengers in the
car. while the motorman reversed his
current and did his best To avoid an ac-
cident. The distance was too short. how
ever, and while the car was slowed up
slightly IL was impossible TO stop. The
buggy barely got over the track as the
car shot by, grazing the rear wheel.
Everybody who saw the circumstances
was emphatic I'm blaming the driver They
said il was gross negligence and careless
ness on his part. and some went so far
a TO say they wish he had been turned
over and his buggy smashed for lesson.
This is one Of many such aggravating
cases as the Richmond motormen have
to contend with
