Beyond the gloom is glory,
Beyond the cross crown;
Not half so sad life's story,
Did we look up, not down,
We need but to-rise higher,
Above the clouds and night;
To feel the heavens higher
And see tho eternal light.
The sowing, then the reaping;
We pass through death to life;
Comes gladness after weeping,
And sweet rest after strife,
Earth to-day, Heaven tomorrow!
Oh, my soul, since God is there!
Into singing turn thy SORROW
Into praise thy prayer.

How to Obtain a Useful and Orna-

The illustration shows the design for

any woman who is handy with tools.
The materials which will be required
to make it are seemingly the least
worthy, and an old box, some burlaps or
bagging such as furniture comes
sacked in, few thin sheets of stove
bipe iron and some nails and paint.
In the first place, obtain box at
grocery store such as canned goods are
packed in. carefully break it apart,
taking care not to split any of the thin
boards. Of these boards make box
eight inches square and twelve inches
high; the wood used for the top and
bottom should be thicker than that of
which the sides are made. and in the
top cut a round hole, large enough to
admit a metal lamp fount. A rim
around the top edge of the fount will,
If the hole is made the right size, pre-
vent it from falling into the box.
All over the top and sides of the
box fasten ordinary burlaps with
LIQUID glue, and when it is thoroughly
dry give the bagging a few successive
coats of light olive green paint. Sand
paper the burlaps before applying the
last coat, so an even and smooth sur
face may be obtained.
Bind the edges of the box with strips
of sheet iron, allowing about three
quarters of an inch of metallic show on
a side. Fasten the iron on with large

driven at equal distances apart.
On a sheet of paper draw the pat
tern shown on one side of the box and
cut pieces from the thin iron to work
out the pattern on each side. Tack
these pieces on with good-sized oval
headed iron carpet tacks and then give
all the metal work a coat or two of
ivory black paint, thinned with japan

Travelling handkerchiefs should never

One of the newest and daintiest hand

The footing. of course. is always white.

simple that it could be easily made at

course one great trouble with these
dainty bits of lace-trimmed muslin will
be the difficulty of having them washed,

BOLD BANK ROBBERY,

Bank for sd, OOO..

YoNEERs, N. Y, April 14.-Shortlv
after moor yesterday two men entered
the Yonkers Savings bank, on Getty
square, in the heart of town, held up
Lyman Cobb, the aged cashier, stole
$4,4OO and escaped.
About 1915 o'clock, when no one
was in the bank but the cashier and
Treasurer Williams, the latter in an
inner room, a young man, clearly
shaver and dressed in a light suit Of
clothes, entered and engaged Cashier
Cobb in conversation, telling the
latter that he expected to meet
a friend there who would make
a large deposit. The young man
turned to go, and the cashier
returned to his desk, under which he
noticed something black, which he at
first thought was a dog. " The black
object sprang up and moved toward
the cash drawer. The startled cashier
turned to the window, expecting as
sistance from the young man with
whom he hal been talking. The
young man, however, covered the
cashier with a revolver. The man in
side also held a revolver to the cash
ier's head while he transferred pack
ages of bills to his pockets, dropping
a $500 package in his haste. With his
revolver still covering the cashier, the
man on the inside backed slowly to
the gate, opened it and passed out,
walked through the narrow passage
in front Of the executive office door
and around to his companion. The
men hurried out of the door, keeping
Mr.. Cobb covered with their revolvers
to the last, and made good their es-
cape.
Cashier Cobb cannot give a good de-
scription of them, but remembers that
both appeared to be under rs years old
and wore mustaches. The money
stolen was mostly ST., $40, $50 and S1O0
bills. There was also one ST., 900 bill
and two checks, amounting to $500.
The thieves were evidently profess

as possible, represented one section of

FOR "A PARIS DISPLAY
PRESIDENT SENDS A SPEC

Congress Urged to Make Such Provisions
for the international Enterprise as VIII
Fifty Respond to the Expectations of

WASHINGTON, April 15.-The Presi-
dent to-day sent the following message
to Congress, urging it to make suita-
bic provision for adequate representa-
ton of the United States at the Paris
exposition:
L the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives: L transmit herewith for
the consideration Of the respective
houses of the Congress, a report Of the
secretary of state representing the APP
preparedness of early action in order
that the government of the United
States may be enabled to accept the
invitation of that of the French re-
public to participate in the universal
exposition to be held in Paris in 1900.
1.-THE recommendations of this re-
port have my most cordial approval and
| urge upon the congress such timely
provisions for this great International
enterprise as will fttingly respond to
the widely testified wish and expecta-
ton OF our inventors and producers that
they may have adequate opportunity
again, as in the past. - fortify the
Important positions they have won in
the worlds competitive fields of dis
covery and industry. Nor are the ira
d@itional friendships Of the United
States INC France and the mutual ad-
vantages to accrue from their enlarged
commercial intercourse less large i'm
p%ortant factors than the indi-
vidual interests to be fostered by
renewed participation in a great
french exposition, especially when
1t is remembered that the pres
ent display is projected with a degree
of completeness and on a scale of mag
nificence beyond any of the European
exhibitions that have marked the close
of the century.
1T is proper that I should emphasize
the need Of early action, for if the
present session pass without suitable
provision being made, the postpone
ment of the matter for nearly a year
longer could not but operate greatly to
the disadvantage of the United States.

Men and Women Butchcred for Dancing
With Insurgents.
HAVANA, April 15.-A story of in
conceivable brutality from Pipi.
ano, in Havana province. The town
was raided a week ago by the Cubans.
and after they had looted the stores
they had a dance and a fandango i.
the public square, forcing d great
many of the townspeople and the
women there to join in with them in
the dance. The report came in yes
terday that a Spanish force raided
the place Thursday and killed twenty
five of the leading men Of the town,
and then outrageously treated ON
thirty-odd of the leading Cuban
and Spanish women, eighteen of
the women being taken. The men
were arrested, tied up in line, and
after being tainted with having q
dance with the Cubans the previous
week, were hacked to pieces before
the weeping, hall dead who
were brought out and compelled to
witness the brutal murder OF their
husbands and relatives. The ON
were all placed in a big stone church
and kept two days at the mercy Of the
Spanish soldiers and officers. When
the troops left nearly twenty of the
poor creatures were compelled to ac-
company them. The town was set ON
tire and nearly every building laid low.
The Spaniards also destroyed what
food they could not carry away with
them.
