SONG TO 4 >wEETHEARr.

My heart is a wave OF the sea,
Sweetheart,
Forever seeking the shore.
That pillows and leaps
Ana curls and Crccps,
But II beats its heart
In sad unrest,
'Gainst the rocks that stand
Twist the sea and the land,
Forever and eyermoTe,
Sweetheart,
Forever and forever more!
My heart IS a far-off cloud,
Sweetheart,
That longs for the western wind;
70 lie so light
The lonE, sweet night.
Safe from the storm
In His sheltoring arm;
To be borne away
Whore tits never daN,
on the heart of the western wind.
Sweetheart,
On tho heart of the warm west wind!
My heart is an empty nest,
Sweetheart,
a bird that is far from its home;
\ leaf in the storm,
An unsung song!
Ard the wandering bird,
Leaf and song unheard,
Each yearns for it's home
Ard makes its moan!
And mN heart cries aloud irr II 3 own,
Sweetheart,
cries aloud for its own! for It's own!

SHERIFF MARTIN AND THE LAW.
From the PhiladcIphia Times.

From the Philadelphia Times.
The Scranton Tribune, referring to the
statement of this journal that the trial of
Sheriff Martin and his associates for par
ticipation I'm the Lattmer tragedy, must
result in "a greatly wdencd and deepcned
respect for the majesty of the law in the
anthracite coal regions" expresses doubts
as to the correctness of the suggestion he
cause Of its apprehension that Sheriff
Martin and his deputies may not receive.
at this early date and in the present pub
lie temper. d fair and impartial trial. In
making the statement that the trial Of
these defendants would emphasize the
majesty Of the law and teach for it
much greater respect in the disturbed ccal
region, we did not overlook the fact that
at the present time, as would doubtless
be- the case no matter how long the iridl
might be postponed, the accused parties
must brave much publ" prejudice and
passion. In such condition it
is extremely difficult - eliminate
such prejudice and passion entire
| ly from the jury box, but it is
none the less the truth in thl- ease, that
! the trial of thes defendants for the high
est crime known Ia the law must result N
| substantial and enduring good to that
| community, because 1t will clearly define
! the rights Of all parties when violence to
! the law Is attcn pied,
! 1t Is fair to assume that, whatever
popular pIcjudicc may prevail among the
! people Of Luzcrne county and assert Itself
! In the jury box, the court will distinctly
and fearlcssly declare the law as IL is;
and If passion in the jury boN snail at
! tempt to OycIrulc the law, the duty of the
! court Is unmistakahlC to set aside the
| verdict in the name of the law. Even If
! the court were to fail I'm the discharge of
| its fun duty i'm defining the rights OF all

passionate tribunal to which appeal can
be made, and whose judgment would not

In Loving Rem embrance,

Thou art gone, the silver cord of life is
loosed;
Broken the pitcher at the fountain head
Thy mortal form to kindred earth re
turning
Thy spirit to the Judge of Quick and
Dead.
Alas the sweetest flower, by love i'm
planted
Within the sacred precincts of the
heart
Must droop and die while weeds and
brers flourish,
Amid the ruins which neglect imparts.
Oh, Adverse fate, why DER me hang
thy pillows?
Eng,.ldnS my Tond nope ~f joys u
come,
While stranded on the shoals of dire
disaster
/ view the wreck thy cruel wrath has
done.
Oh. Father, may these dark and gloomy
sorrows
Be pierced by faiths unfaltering eye
and comprehend
Behind these shadows waits glad
tomorrow,
Whose glorious light and joy thy good
ness sends.
For what is earthly hope or fond am
bition
Whose smile, seductive, lures us to
confide
In eyanescent dreams and transient
shadows,
Which leave the famished soul unsatis-
fed.
Open the prison door of doubt and
darkness,
Unbar the portal of my souls seclusion
And let helight of truths eternal morn
Light up with hope serene my souls
delusion.
Then bid the billowy waves Of anguish
settle,
And hush the tempest of my soul to
calm,
And know He rules who counts the
stars by number,
And holds the raging pillows in his
hand,
The closing day of life whose sunset
glories
With radient beams light up the
BdbHtIIIlB BlOOIl,
Is but the earnest of a day immortal,
Beyond the confines Of the silent tomb,
Not dead, hut only changed by life's
transition,
From mortal unto Immortality trans
formed
Loosed from the prison house of earth
ly bondage,
And earthly conflicts changed for peace
and home
o. may the radiance Of thy lifes ex-
ample
Shine as the Polar star on life's rough
main
A guiding ray whose beams will all be
ample
To guide my barque and make my
voyage plain.
Then in the haven fair the voyage ended,
Earths storms outridden and oarth's
dangers DER,
Well meet again no more to part in
sadness
TO dwell in heavens bliss forcvermorc.

The decision of the United States
Supreme Court holding that the agree
ment of the Trans Missouri Freight
Association was violation of the anti
trust law of 1890 created a sensation in
railroad circles last week. On Thurs
day of last week all railroad traffic as
sociations in Chicago refrained from
transacting any business which had to
do with the regulation of rates or divis-
ion of business. Although the execu-
tive officers and clerical force at the
various headquarters remained at their
desks only routine business and that
which did not come within the ban of
the Supreme Courts decision We're at
tended to. Practically all, the associa-
tions were in a state of suspended ami
nation, looking over the ground and
waiting to find out where they stand So

Passenger Association expressed it
