In the Maytime, ere the roses
Had begun to blush between
Dainty leaves Of futed satin,
Dewy sheaths Of emerald greeaS
Eloise, the little orphan,
Left the fax upon the wheel,
And she sought the silent Forest
On the velvet moss to kneel,
s.Ia weary-oh, so weary
or the Kitchens sanded floor,
And the string Of withered peppers,
And the horseshoes o'er the door.
And che wheel forever droning,
Come and turn me, EloiseP
And long to live forever
In the woods, among the trees"
Then slumber fell upon her,
And she lay, serene and meek
With her hands across her bosom,
And tear upon her cheek.
SO the waiting fax grew yellow,
And the roses ceased to blow;
And the winter, coming softly,
Hid her bleaching bones with snow,
May, returning to the forest,
With its showers of crystal rain,
Found white and starry blossom
Where the orphan girl had lain;
So in all her maiden graces
Still she lives among the trees,
For the Mayfower in its beauty
Is the soul Of Eloise!

Especial New York Letter.
Now that only an echo remains of
the great Grant parade, one has time
to reflect on the many little atten.
tions that were paid to Mrs. McKin-
ley on her first appearance of impor-
tance as the first lady of the land.
Above all, and pre-eminently first,
the Mckinley family are simple in
their tastes; and the Reception Com
mittee was wide enough awake to re-
member that Mrs. McKinley's favor
ite color is blue. This delicate tint
suits her lily-white skin and lily-like
physique to perfection; just as rich
oriental red is the favorite color of
Mrs. Cleveland and we'll suited to her
womanhood and robust health.
Tue rooms at the hotel where the
President and his wife stopped while
in New York were tastefully fitted
up in pale blue. There was even a
big bunch of forget-me-nots-which
Mrs. Mckinley held in her hand as
she viewed the parade from the win
dow of a cottage hotel near the Mon
ument. The day was wild one, and
she wisely forsook the Grand Stand
and her husbands side for sheltered
quarters.
The inclemency OF the weather was
anticipated; and a cosy room had
been prepared for her reception. A
CRATE fire of log-wood made the room
more cheerful. The dainty muslin
curtains were tied with big blue
bows; canary chirped gaily in a gilt
cage suspended by a blue ribbon; and
large punches of sweet peas helped
to remind her that New Workers
loved her for her simple tastes, had
not forgotten some Of her fancies,
and were anxious to have her feel that
she was their guest as woman, as

A UNIQUE WILL.
Inscribed His Bequests on the Back of q
Photograph of His Heir.

An original and unique document, in
the form of will executed by james
P. Pettegrew, was admitted to probate
in Judge Clark's department of the Su-
perior Court here this afternoon. The
author of the strange instl ument died
in this city few weeks ago at the age
of seventy-one. He possessed an utter
disregard for the ordinary forms of
legal procedure, but had such shrewd-
ness that the instrument by which he
devised his estate met all require
ments, i'll the opinion of Judge Clark.
The testator had an excellent photo
graph of his son, George W. Petite
grew, q young man, who resides in
Randsburg, the new mining camp. He
took sheet of note paper just the size
of the photograph and very carefully
pasted it on the back of the picture.
Then he wrote his will on the back of
the photograph. 1t was o short docu-
ment, and the phraseology is sufi-
ciently out of the ordinary to make it
of unusual interest. 1t was as follows:

safe-keeping, although it was generally
supposed he was at the jail.
THE VERDICT OF THE JURY.
The Coroner's jury re-assembled
last night at half-past seven o'clock
and called to the witness stand Saliie
Jones, the granddaughter referred to
in the testimony given above. She
told the story about her grandfather
and Ed. picking berries on the hill
side before dinner on Tuesday In the
afternoon the grandfather left for
town.
This finished the testimony, and the
jury at once considered the evidence,
and soon arrived at the following YER
dict:
I'VE, the jury, find that the de-
ceased, Stanley Mason, came to his
death by wounds and blows inflicted
by James E. Jones"
This closes the matter up, so far
as the Coroner is concerned, and
James E. Jones stands formally
charged with murder, and is in the
hands of the State for prosecution.
The result was generally known In
Moundsville last night, 1t having
come to the public knowledge in a
variety of ways. There was good
deal of indignation against the muir
derer, yet the town was quiet at ten
O'Clock, with no indication of any
other intention than that the law
should take its course.
The developments of yesterday eff
fectually knocked out the story of Geo.
Edwards, about tall man, wearing a
white hat and light coat, stepping out
from behind a pile of rails and knock
ing him down with club, when he
was on his way for doctor. The fact
is that Edwards got his disfigured
countenance from his brother, who
gave him fair to good whipping on
Tuesday morning, and he never had
any occasion whatever to figure before
the coroner's jury.
Last night there were quite num-
Der of people in Moundsville who talk
ed lynch law with little attempt at
concealment, and had the prisoner
been in Jail, there might have been
trouble. The movement OF the author
tiles which landed Jones in the peni-
Tertiary effectually squelched this sort
of thing, however, and the people OF
the town at large are unanimously IN
favor of letting the law take its coure.
