when its columns are filled with bright
verse and original drawings, the Lark will
disappear from the sky, leaving memories
that can never die. pictures that will re-
turn like visions of sunshine and gold"
Editor Burgess has achieved tame and
attracted the attention OF men like w. d.
Howells and the critics of Harvard.
"Why do you suspend in the midst of
all this encouragement" he was asked
yesterday.

Piled" 1t flowed along naturally and was
not forced, but to go further would be
forcing it. The Lark lived because of its
beautiful optimism, being at the same
time sort of joke in earnest and protest
against journalism that is merely COM
mercial. Almost all of the fads and freaks
are already dead and we are content to go
also. now that the spirit of spontaneity is
over. Our work has attracted grea. atten-
ton and we have received good press
notices and kindly criticisms from men OF
note in letters. We can congratulate our
selves that we quit in good repute."
1t was the opinion of such men as
Howells that the verse of the Lark, writ
ten largely by Editor Burgess and Bruce
Porter, was of more serious and meritor-
ious character than the mass OF what is
printed even in the great magazines.
The part played by w. E. Doxey in the
success of the Lark was very great. 81
found these young men with matter of
merit" said he, "but they did not seem
to know just how to handle it, so l took
it up and published the Lark first jointly
with them and then myself. The two
volumes issued are now bound and the
demand for them is large but We decided
to quit while our name was good"
Everything about the Lark was odd,
from the queer paper to the novelties
printed upon its quaint pages. The motto
at tho heading gave a good idea of the
contents. 1t ran: ".Wholl be the
clerk ~" "I,' said the Lark" And the
prologue to the first DOCK runs thus:
new note-some of the joy OF the morn
ing-set here for the refreshment of our souls
in the heat OF midday.
With no more serious intention than to be
gay-to sing a song, to tell story; and when
this is no longer to our Eking-when the
spring calls or the road invites-then this
little mouse OF pleasure will close its doors
and If you have cared ior our singing and
would have more of 1t. then you must follow
us afield.

trees blowing. and know the great content oil

prophecy of the death of the Lark.

held at Metropolitan Temple in favor of
Free Cuba has come back from New York,
and the Cuban League of this City is pre-

the struggling patriots in the beleaguered

The league held meeting at headquar-

which the following letter from Colonel
Ethan Allen, president of the New York
League, was read:
NEW YORK, March %, 1897.

John II. Jones.
Please also, i'll the name of the cause of not

support 1t is giving.
You have done we'll in organizing q ladies'

WARREN PRICE IN JAIL.
His Mother Was One of His Sureties
and He Would Not Have Her
Suffer.

Warren E. Price, who was convicted
several months ago of sending obscene
matter through the mails, presented him
self at noon yesterday at the gate of the
San Quentin prison and surrendered him
self to Warden Hale.
Price had been sent to the penitentiary
to serve a sentence of eighteen months
imprson ment. He was admitted to bail
pending an appeal to the Supreme Court
and went East. The Supreme Court af-
firmed the judgment of the lower court,
and when the opinion was rendered he
had not yet returned from Washington,
whittier he had gone to look after his
appeal.
His absence gave rise to report that he
had jumped MS bonds of $4,000 rather than
return and serve the remaining fourteen
months of his sentence. His return has
settled the report He came back last
Sunday evening and remained hidden in
his bookstore until yesterday morning,
when he took the boat for San Quentin.
He will now serve the remaining fourteen
month of his sentence.
His mother was one of the sureties on
his bond.

and should the plan catch public favor. as
the leaders firmly believe it will, the
movement is expected to spread like wild
fire and reach the ear of the President and
his Cabinet in a manner that will bring
the desired results.
When these details had been arranged
the following resO ution of thanks to THE
CALL prepared by President John H.
Jones, Secretary Faust f. Mascherini and
a committee consisting of Thomas B. Cum
ningham and d. +. Bonannon, was unan-
imously adopted:

Editor Burgess. 1t opens:
1 could not sleep; the moon was new anu
from the sea there came can Oh wl'Ineis
vague but irresistible. Up and away went;
my feet did with me what they would; nur-
ried on and on toward the shore.
And there, amid the shadowy rocks, touno
her, with her long hair on her shouiders, anu
her white arms bare. Before we met sue

mystic cadences, yet as to one sne nao peen

that wild beach, meath that wild sky; and
there | STAYED on that first night, as in

The weird poem concludes as follows:
Sometimes reached the starlit shore ere
yet the ebb was spent, and cast myself upon
the silver sand to wait the Hood. Ihen as
slept would Nerea rise from out the foam ana
steal across the shining floor and wake me
with kiss. Then, mid the links and dunes
beside the sea- we'd frolic in the witchery OF
the great white moon, and hide within the
cup-shaped holes of shifting sand. fringed by
the wiry beach grass, waving in the midnight
breeze to which remote and secret rooms the
roar OF surf came chastened from the shore.
while we reclined upon the sleeping banks of
soft, warm sand, and watched the slow pro-
cession of the stars around the pole and
meteors dripping from the August sky.
