EXTRACT FROM LIE GALLIENNE'S
RENDERING OF OMAR KHAY-
VANS RUBA1YAT
'Tis great fuss, all this of Thee and Me;
Important folk are veto Thee and Me;
Yet, what if we mean nothing after all?
And what If Heaven cares naught for
Thee and Me?
All those who in their graves unheeded lie
Were just as pompous once as You and 1;
Complacent spalSe their little arrogant
names.
And wagged their heads and never thought
to die.
A beauty sleeps beneath yon quiet grass
Who dreamed her face the world might not
surpass;
Strength is her neighbor, but he boasts
no more
And over them the wind cries out "Alas!"
Would you seek beauty, seek it under
ground;
Would you find strength-the strong are
underground;
And would you next seek my love and
me,
Who knows but you must seek us-under-
ground.

WILLIAM H. BRYAN


Another Bryan has arisen, William H.,
and we have an epic poem, which celebrates
the war of 1872. The book is published in
St. Louis and the Literary World has pub
Mshed some extracts, which are too good
to keep from Herald readers. Here is a bit
of the argument of Book L:
Effects of the Embargo
It's Constitutionality Tested in the Courts
The Result-Mr. Erskines Earnestness
Superseded by Mr.. Jackson-Unique
Methods of Both Canning and Bonaparte
In Evincing Regard for the Republic. J.. +.
And thus do the mind of the poet" and
his deft hand work out the poetical de-
tail:
From the very day that the Republic
Had claimed to be such. John Bull-splen-
etic
Had tried in some way to check her ad-
While across the channel his neighbor
France
Towards the new power. in the new world
Looked with a smile, and quickly unfurled
The driving canvas-coming with treaty
OF navigation, commerce and amity;
Wherelpon
Such the conduct of th unnatural Bull
Cross-grained, crusty, crotchety. and full
OF malice, megrims. and much bile Sc
creted,
Obstinate, arrogant and conceited;
In constant dudgeon raised his broad back,
And equally protruding his high stomach

last syllable, thus: stom-ach!--with a
whackD
In contrast to that of another people
Who speak strange language, and the
steeple
OF each church in whose land upholds a
symbol,
Making still more a stranger the slim
Gaul.
From these "epic' preliminaries of the
conflict we pass TO the initial steps of the
conflict itself, when John Bull was mott
fed
that he must attend
To war in the Western Hemisphere,
And to double his tax on his spirits and
beer.
The Republic raised to 'leven millions
BY increased customs on importations;
And promptly, by big majority, from ten

Well equipp'd. and at all points ready
To cooperate with the remodeled navy
Which before had been long-boats, with

accent again on the last syllable.)
Indeed, our poet is fond of the accent on
last syllables, and happy in his use of it,
as witness the following Instances:
General Clay coming from Kentucky
With twelve hundred men, sent Colonel
Dudley,
With eight hundred, one battery to take,
Colonel Miller a. the same time to make,
On the other side of the river, sortie,
And in like manner take that battery.
The battery was ''took"-we try to write
In literary sympathy with the poem
after which Dudleys men
Followed the fugitive to the timber,
Where from ambush three times their num-
sber
Sprang to the attack-led by Tecumseh,
Whose short. sharp commands they quick
to obey.
From these bloody scenes we turn to
still more ''epic" incidents on Lake Erie.
Here
With nine good vessels and five hundred
To man fifty-four guns, Perry sailed for
Maiden.
But soon was resailing for Put-in-Bay,
Where he hoped to meet with Captain Bar
clay;
Which he did soon.
The earthly conditions of space and time
which control all human aspirations and
endeavors compel us, alasi to pass rapidly
over the succeeding pages of this affecting
poem to this concluding eulogium:

FLOWERS FOR HE1NE's GRAVE


The following appeared in a recent letter
from Paris to the London Daily Telegraph: j:
Some literary and journalistic Germans
having recently resolved to repair and dec
crate Heine's' grave in Montmartre ceme-
terry, the guardian or chief caretaker of the
graveyard in question has given them
lesson in the exigencies of French official
formality. A fund, it appears, was raised
in Frankfort for Heinrich Heine's Grab"
and. before closing the list of subscriptions,
the organizers of the affair directed a Paris
flower contractor to put some blossoms on
the tomb of the famous writer. The order
was duly carried out, but the guardian of
the cemetery removed the flowers, and
wrote to the Germans who desired to honor
Heine. telling them that they must obtain
the sanction of the family of the deceased
before they could put any emblems on the
grave. The Teutons had, accordingly, to
obtain a fuM power of attorney, legalized
by the French consul-general at Ham
burg from the poets sister, Nine. Emden,
lady 96 years DID, who lives in that town.
In any case the tomb of the celebrated
writer, who was more Partisan than many
of the Parisians themselves, will now be
well looked after"

like? The judgment of the reading world
has settled the question. 1t has concluded
that Du Maurier was not great novelist,
that his real level was truly struck in his
first book, and followed in the last, and
that "Trilby" was very largely an acci-
dent. This judgment will undoubtedly
stand. "The Martian" is wearying work

CAUGHT AT 1T
Oil Inspector Monlux Will Cause the
Arrest of an Oil Wagon Driver

In spite of repeated warnings, many
drivers of oil wagons have been making
a practice of driving over the sidewalks
in the oil districts without first properly
protecting the walks from possible in
jury. Oil Inspector Monlux has sent
notices to the several operators asking
that they notify their drivers to cease
the practice, but no attention was paid
to the matter by some of them. AS re-
suit of the violation of the law number
of costly pieces of curbing and sidewalk
have been ruined. The inspector has
been watching for several days to catch
one of the drivers in the act, and yester-
day he succeeded.
He saw c. e. Granger, a 17-year-old
boy, drive a ten-ton wagon to which four
horses were attached across the side
walk at Ocean View avenue and Bur-
lington street. The boy stated that he
had been instructed to drive there, and
he did not know it was against the law.
Although the inspector did not wish to
proceed against a boy when he knew
there were many men who had been
guilty of the same offense, he was de-
srous of breaking up the practice. and
at once secured warrant for the ar
rest of Granger. The boy had not been
arrested up to late hour last night
Mr.. Monlux has had printed copies of
the law on the subject and has posted
them conspicuously in the oil fields He
declares he will prosecute all violators
against whom he can secure sufficient
evidence to convict.

USED NAUGHTY WORDS
Theodore Neitz Is Convicted of Dis.
turbing the Peace

A family quarrel was aired before
Justice Morrison yesterday when the
case against Theodore Neitz. charged
with disturbing the peace came up for
trial. The complaining witness was
the defendants sister-in-law, Mrs. Pat
tie Melissa Neitz. When she was asked
on the witness stand what relation she
bore to the defendant Mrs Neitz said:
"Well, he was supposed to be brother
in-law until my husband died, then he
claimed that he was only half brother
in-law, so 1 don't know what relation
he is now"
The two have been occupying a house
together, their apartments being sep
arated by a hallway. The parlor. it
seems, was occupied in common. Neitz
objected to the presence in this room of
Miss Miller, a friend of Mrs. Eeitz, and
said some naughty things in the pres
ence of both women when they failed to
vacate at his request. He also threw
off his coat and prepared to clear the
room in short order when one of the
women. who is built like an Amazon
threw her arms about his waist and
pinioned his wrists to his Sides Neitz
did not deny that he had used the cuss
words attributed to him in the presence
of the women and he was found guilty.
Today at o'clock is the time set for
sentence.

AN UNSAFE ILLUMlNANT
Low GRADE OIL AND ITS LIABII-
ITY TO EXPLOSION
An Investigation Set on Foot by the
Mayor Looking Toward An Or
dinance Regulating Traffic

1t has been called to the attention of
Mayor Snyder that much of the oil that
is sold for domestic use in this city is of a
dangerously explosive character, either
because of careless refining or the adj
mixture Of other volatile products. 1t
has been pointed out that much of the
oil used by families for cooking and il
Illuminating purposes is of such grade
that there is constant danger of ex-
plosion, and therefore Of serious fire
and possible loss of life. The matter
was mentioned to the mayor yesterday
by an experienced oil man, who stated
that he had made tests of oils purchased
at groceries which, instead of standing
a temperature of ITO degrees fahrenheit,
gave off explosive gases at as low tenn
perature as 80 degrees.
1t is we'll known that many of the most
important cities in the country regulate
the sale of oil by requiring that all oil
sold for domestic use shall be of a GER
tain proof" namely, that it must stand
a temperature stated in the ordinances
before evaporating or giving off ex-
plosive gases. Some states have a stat
utory provision covering the matter. In
order to inform himself and the public of
the matter the mayor has written to a
number of these cities requesting copies
of the ordinances and statutes, and also
information as to what means is adopted
to properly enforce them.
He has been informed that in San
Francisco the test of oils is made part
of the duties of the chief of the fire de-
partment. and there is an assistant who
does that work exclusively. There
proof of 10 is required. The danger in
cident to the use of low proof oils, es-
pecially when the proof is below the tenn
perature sometimes attained by the at
mosphere, is that the gases which are
given off are usually heavier than air,
and therefore sink to the floor of a room
where the heated oil is stored. 1t has
been proved that air charged to the ex-
tent of five per cent with these gases is
dangerously explosive.
The greatest danger in the use of this
quality of oil by families is that the
average housewife is frequently care
less in the matter of filling her lamps or
oil stove, and allows the oil to be almost
all burned before the vesSelcontaininG
it is again filled. The result is that the
gases collect between the level of the oil
and the top of the lamp or stove contain
ing it, and if by accident a spark OF
flame is applied to it. an explosion is GER
tain to follow. Chief Moore is greatly

INSTANTLY KILLED.

A Three Year old Boy run Down by the
la Belle shifting Engine HsSteTdAy AT
srnoon-Ths Father an Eyewitness OF
the Tragedy.
August Dayton, the three-vear-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. W. D. Shields, Of
Thlrty-hrst street. was instantly killed
at the La Belle yards, at the head OF
Thlrty-frst street, yesterday afternoon
about 1880 o'clock, by being hit by the
companv's shifting engine. The little
fellow was playing by the track, and
no particular blame is attached to any
body. The "dinky" was moving fairly
slow, and after striking the child drag
ged It for several feet, although the en-
gineer stopped the engine as soon as
possible.
When picked up the child was dead,
his neck being broken. One arm was
also broken. A sad feature of the la
mented accident Is that the father was
an eye witness, he being at work on a
roof OF one OF the mill buildings n few
feet AWAY He flew to the rescue, but
he was too late. The bereaVed parents
have the sympathy of the community.
The child would have been three years
old had he lived until the 18th OF next
month. Coroner schultze will hold the
inquest at 10 o'clock this morning.

Last evening, on the grounds of the
Bellalre Steel Company. number OF
the employees were addressed by Presl-
dent ]. H. McCourtney, OF the com
pany, who announced that the mill
would resume in all departments this
morning.
Mr.. McCourtneV went over the mat
tiers that have entered into the strike
difficulty, in which originally about sew
enty men were concerned, and advised
some of the plate mill men to take Jobs
in the steel plant, He added that men
making this change would be assured
OF permanent Jobs IL they proved pro-
ticient In their work, and that they
would be given protection.
The striking steel workers held a
meeting in the Bellaire city hall last
night, but 1t was q secret session and
the result of their deliberations was not
learned. One man who was approach
ed said Nothing had been done for
publication"
The presence of Mr. Bishop, of the
Ohio board OF arbitration,and President
Garland, of the Anfalga3nated Assoc!a-
ton, led to the belief that an amicable
settlement with the old steel workers
would be made. and the hope Is still
expressed that such q settlement will
be had ultimately.
