SELECTED POETRY.
SalutatiOns TO Greece,

Little land so great of heart
Midst world 20 abject grown
Must thou play thy glorious part,
Hellas, gloriously alone2
Shame on Europe's arms, II she
Leave her noblest work TO theel
While she slept her sleep of death,
Thou hast dared and thou hast done;
Faced the Shape whose dragon breath
Fouls the splendor Of the sun.
Thine to show the world the way,
Thine the only deed to-day.
Thou, in this thy starry hour,
Sittest throned all thrones above
Thou art more than pomp and power.
Thou art liberty and love.
Doubts and fears in dust be trod;
Oh, thou mandatory of Godi
Who are these, would bind thy hands2
Knaves and dastards, none beside.
All the Just in all the lands
Hail thee blest and sanctified-
Ourst, who would thy triumph mar.
Be he Kaiser, be he Car.
Breathing hatred. plotting strife,
Rending beauty, blasting Joy,
Loathsome round the tree of life
Coils the Worm we would destroy,
Whose smites yon Thing Abhorred,
Holy, holy is his swordl
Foul with slough Of all things i'll,
Turkey lies full sick, men say.
Not so sick but she hath still
Strength to torture, spoil and slayi
o that ere this hour be past,
She were prone In death at lastl
Kings, like lackeys, at her call
Raise her, lest in mire she reel.
Only through her final fall
Comes the hope of human veal.
Slowly, by such deeds as thine.
Breaks afar the light divine.
Not since first thy wine-dark wave
Laughed in multitudinous mirth,
Hath deed more pure and brave
Flushed the wintry cheek of Earth.
There is heard no melody
Like thy footsteps on the sea.
Fiercely sweet as stormy eprings,
Mighty hopes are blowing wide;
Passionate prefgurings
Ola world revivified;
Dawning thoughts, that ere they set
Shall POSSESS the ages yet.
oil that she were with thee ranged,
Who, for all her faults, can still,
In her heart of hearts unchanged,
Feel the old heroic thrill;
She, my land, my loved, mine ownl-
Yet thou art not left alone.
All the Powers that soon or late
Gain for Man some sacred goal,
Are co-partners in thy fate,
Are companions Of thy soul.
Unto thee all Earth shall bow;
These are Heaven, and these are thou.

THE SAME POLICY.
Cleveland's Cuban Ideas win Be
 Followed by Mckinley.
Sherman Says Plainly That There VIII Be No American Interference-Has Faith In Canovas' Autonomy
 Scheme for Settlement.

PITTSBURGH, Pa., Jan. 16.-The Cuban policy of the Mckinley administration will differ very little from that which has been laid down by President Cleve- land and his secretary of state. This statement is based on remarks made to Q reporter by the man who will be premier of the next administration, Senator John Sherman, at the Union depot yesterday evening. The veteran statesman was on his way back to Washington from Canton, where he had had conference with Mir. Me- Kinley, and had accepted the portfolio of state in his cabinet. After stating that his position in the next cabinet had been determined. Senator Sher- man said in answer to question: "I think the United States government should not interfere with the Cuban war, either to aid in its settlement, or do anything which would make Q peaceful government of the island a charge on this country. understand on high authority that Prime Minister Canovas has outlined a programme of governmental reform which will be ap- piled both in Spain and Cuba. These reforms will give the Cubans practical autonomy and will, l hope, settle the question:"

FIVE BOYS BURNED.
Terrible Death of Inmates of an Orphans'
 Home in Dallas, Tex.

Terrible Death of Inmates or an OrphanS' Home in Dallas, Tex.
 DALLAS, Tex, Jan. 16.-At late hour last night the boys wing of the Buckner's orphans home, five miles from this city, was destroyed by fire. Five boys perishcd in the flames, three of them being the matron's sons, and several others were burned. Before Mrs. Britton, the boys matron, had been in bed a short time she detected smoke, and immediately arose to inves- tigate. Even the floor under her feet was almost too hot to stand on. Per- ceiving this, she immediately raised the alarm and runners were sent to all the rooms to alarm the children and get them out of the building as quickly as possible. In her anxiety to get the children out she neglected to assist those who were in her room. After seeing a large percent age of the children had been removed from the building, and that others would be out in few minutes. she sud- denly remembered her own children, and, running to the room, endeavored to rescue them. She was too late, how ever, the fire had already entered her own room, and, although she fought the flames with desperate zeal. she was compelled to retreat with the atfrighted cries of her children ringing in her ears, knowing they were doomed to death. The building, with all its fur niture, was destroyed. The loss is not known

 Except for few southern cities as reported

Some Baltimore statesmen are securing relatively fair orders. There has been no revival in textile circles except increased purchases of wool at Boston by some of the larger manufacturers
 Prices this week show advances for leather, pork, lard petroleum and cotton, while de- creases are reported in prices in hides wheat corn, coffee, pig iron and steel billets No change is reported fin quotations for coal, lum- per- flour, oats. sugar, print cloths and wool.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

The paper is good and the silk threads of the genuine are cleverly initiated by pen and ink lines on the back of the counterfeit note.
