For weeks and weeks Tom Sheppard
had been a sick man at our mining camp
at Black Bear Valley. Everybody felt
sorry for him, and yet sick man in a
mining camp was great inconvenience
and a burden. One day Judge Watkins
went up to see him, and after finding him
no better and no worse than he had been
for many weeks, he said
tom, l don't want to seem cold-hearted
about this thing, but the boys are begin
ming to wonder why you don't die or get
we'll"
YES, reckon they are" replied Tom,
land you can tell 'em I'm goin' to die"
"Do you feel it's for the best, Tom?'

might as well peg out now as any other
time. I've been waitin' fur a week or two"
"Waitn'? Fur WHAT"
Fur to die decently. I'm no duke or
lord, but l want things fixed up in good
shape. want to be washed up, shaved,
hev my hair cut, and git into some decent
buds, and l won't die till do"
The Judge told the boys what Sas -
quired, and that afternoon two or three OF
EN- knocked off work and fixed Tom up.
A shirt was borrowed of one, a coat OF
another, a vest of another, and by and by
the sick man was rugged out in the best the
camp afforded. When all this had been
done, he said:
"Now, then, feel more like dyin', but
there's one thing more | want. l want
Joe Billings TO come up with his fiddle and
play me few tunes"
Joe was sent for, and after considerable
kicking he got his fiddle and went up to
Toms shanty. Tom was propped up in
bed and waiting, and Joe sat down and
gave him 1.-The Old Oaken Bucket" "Old
Folks at Home" "Nellie Gray" and halt
dozen other well-known airs. He had
been playing for an hour, his eyes on the
hills opposite, when Judge Watkins looked
in and said:
"Cut it off, Joe. Toms dead"
And so he was, and when the boys came
TO observe the pleased and contented loob
on his face they were agreed that he had
died decently and been given fair star

No Foundation for the Story.

There is no foundation for the story cur
rent in Washington, says one of the CORE
spondents, that there is disagreement in the
cabinet on the Cuban question. So far
as can be ascertained, President Mckinley
has not formulated policy with regard to
Cuba. His earnest desire is TO bring about
an honorable peace between the insurgents
and the mother country, and upon such
terms as would be acceptable to Spain and
satisfactory to the people of Cuba. Au-
tonomy for Cuba is what is most desired
by the people of Cuba and the United
States, whether accompanied by absolute
independence or the continuance of Cuba
under the domination of Spain. 1t is very
doubtful whether Spain will consent to au-
tonomy under any conditions, and the in
surgents seem determined TO continue the
struggle until that is secured. Whenever
it becomes apparent to the President that
the good offices of this government are un-
availing TO secure peace, that fact will be
reported to Congress, or the President will
exercise the executive prerogative and is
sue proclamation granting the insurgents
| belligerent rights.

MIR. Edmunds Arraigns the Labor

Trusts.
At dinner given last Saturday night in
Philadelphia in honor of Wayne McVeigh,
who has just returned from his mission as
ambassador 10 Italy, ex-senator Edmunds
spoke on the hostility to trust which is
now so prevalent. This hostility, he de-
cared is all one sided, inasmuch as it ig-
nores the great labor trusts he said /:
There came under my observation in
Washington r touching illustration a few
years ago. / had occasion TO employ a
plumber to do a small piece of work for
me, and he asked me If | couldn't find a
place for his son in one of the depart ments.
l asked him why he did not take his son
into his own establishment and there teach
him his trade He said: The Plumbers
Union only allows two apprentices in the
state from certain district, and my son
cannot get in.
II said, why don't you teach him your
trade in your own shop and, gentlemen,
the reply he made was this:
" Why, sir, If did, could not get a
job in this whole city
as not that a trust which is wrong
Well, that runs through every trade
sugar, rope, tobacco, railroads. These
trusts are bad, and all that; and so are the
trusts which keep honest workingmen
from earning a living for their wives and
| families-men who can earn one and two
dollars but can't get it. Why? Because
their union, or their trust, won't allow
them. The standard is set for them, and
if they don't wait and starve their familie.
until they can reach that standard they
! can't get work anywhere. Everywhere
they go they are met by the same coRdi

4 WORTHY SUCCESSOR.
The Coming Maine Festival awakens
Memories Of the Great Peace Jubilee

| The older residents of Maine who re-
call the close of the great Civil condiict,
| which had straESled TIE social ard ar
tistic life Of great naticl for long and
| wretchod years. will never forget the
intense feeling of relief VIXEN the strain
was ever, and the wave OF national joy
and thaEks giving that swept the coun-
try because the spirit Of peace, doubly
precious through its lorg absence, had
once mere shed its quoting and bless
ed radiance over a nation and a people
still one and lnseparable.
1t was this fee..nS CT thankfulness,
and the desire to give expression to i
in some fitting manner; which always
come with any great personal or ma
tional joy; which caused the conception
ard the execution of the great Peace
Jubilee at Boston. No one wao at
tended that glorious affair ever lost its
impression on heart and mind as long
as memory and life remained.
The people who recall those scenes
viii understand better than any ore
else what the Maine Music Festival
means to the people of Maine. The
music lover who has never heard a
grand ensemble of this kind, cannot
realize the full measure of its thrilling
and inspiring powers.
1t is difficult TO explain to any such
the pleasures that await them in octo-
her in Bangor ard Portland. When
they have attended one concert at
either Of these cities, have heard the
delicate shadings ard glorious refrans,

STILL 4 Deep MYSTERY.
Identity Of the Little Child
Found in st. Joseph's
Church Unknown.
The Letters "R. D." Found on It's
Garments May Lead to an
Ultimate Olev.

BERKELEY, CAL, Aug. mo trace
has been discovered of the two women
who deserted the little two weeks old
child in The vestipule of St. Joseph's
Church yesterday afternoon. Their iden-
tity is complete mystery. 1t is believed,
however, that they were from San Fran
cisco. Diligent search for them has been
kept up all day by the police, but to no
purpose.
Mrs. John Cain, who gave the little one
shelter, says she will care for it until a
home is found. 1--WE raised eight of my
own" said she, "and | guess l can take
care OF another for while. It is one of
the best and quietest young children l
ever saw.
1t is wee tot weighing only about
pounds and when first found there was
little hope that it would live, but now the
chances for It's life are very favorable.
On its tiny underskirt were found the
initials R. D." EN- broidered in pink
thread. This is absolutely the only clew
to the identity OF the child that the police
have discovered. They do not know
whether to take it as clew or as blind
to throw them off the track.
