FORGIVENESS.
I sat in the evening. cool

sat in the evening cool
OF the heat baked city street
Musing and watching little pair
Who played on the walk at my feet.
A boy, the elder, Of strong, rough mold;
His sister, blossom sweet |
When just in the midst Of their play
Came an angry cry and blow
That bruised the cheek of the little maid
And caused bright tears to flow
And brought from my lips quick, sharp re-
proof
On the lad who had acted so.
And he stood by, sullen and hard,
While the maid soon dried her tear.
He looked at her with an angry eye.
She timidly drew near.
Don't be cross, Johnny" "a little sob).
"Let me fordive 90, dear!"
And the cloud is passed and gone,
And again in their play they meet,
And the strong, rough boy wears kinder
80 mien,
And brighter the maiden sweet,
While whisper has come from the heart
of God
To man, a man on the street.

caught fire from the engines. The cars

Special Dispatch to the IutelliEencer
WASHINGTON. Sept. s.-Col Albert
Daggett, OF this city, but former New
Yorker OF prominence. has Just been
awarded the contract for furnishing the
government postal cards for the ensuing
four years, and that circumstance prom
ises to be Of good deal ot importance to
Y st Virginia. It is within the range of
pr ability and almost certainty that
the ub-contract for supplying the pa
per will go to the Piedmont paper mills.
Col Daggett and Third Assistant POST
master General Merritt win leave here
tomorrow afternoon for Piedmont TO
inspect the mills there, and II every
thing proves to be as satisfactory as
appears from representations the con-
tract will be sealed.
This means the expenditure of large
amount of money annually In the West
Virginia town during the life OF the con-
tract both for material and labor. There
has been q lively competition for the
sub-contract, the mills In New York,
Maine. Ohio. Massachusetts, and Con-
nectlcut, and probably other states,
filing bids. The samples OF paper as
well as the proposed terms from the
Piedmont firm proved to be quite salts
factory respectively, better and below
those offered by tho other firms, and II
is understood the company has only to
demonstrate ample facilities for meeting
the demands, and this II Is prepared to
do.
II Ia said the paper turned out by the
Piedmont firm IL equally as good as lts
pulp, which Is known to be OF n superb
character. The decision In favor of the
West Virginia company, II confirmed
upon inspection Of the mills, will be
highly satisfactory to Col. Daggett and
Is largely upon this recommendation,
otherthings being equal. The colonel pre-
fers West Virginia for several reasons,
but chiefly because Of the nearness Of the
mills to Washington. It will be more
convenient for him, as he has other large
interests here. He recently obtained by

the members present. A large delega-
tlon from Huntington, headed by Sena-
tor j. u, Hughes. Elliott Northcott and

the grounds that they were second In

ed Mt the last meeting. Charleston
made an offer Of its fine new hospital,
which cost $4,000 and grounds worth
$4,000 more. The business and indus
trial association, recently organized,
made strong plea through It's repre-
sentative, cN-Governor Wilson,
Mrs Joseph Ruffner. who was instru-
mental in securing the passage of the
bill creating the home, also made an
able argument for Charleston, because
of the immediate need Of home, which
the hospital would furnish.
on the grounds of public policy, Judge
Jackson remained firm for Charleston.
Treasurer Kendall. who is a member OF
the commission, made an argument In
defense OF his vote for Huntington.
When the final vote was taken. ex-
Governor MacCorklc and Judge Jackson

1t is seldom there is objection to girls
blocking passage on the steets and

this respect, 1t Is just a mild kick, but
nevertheless, there Is sufficient cause,
and 1t Is against the girls stopping on
the street TO talk to their fellows, or else
to exchange the gossip OF the day, II
may seem cruel to protest against this
custom, harmless though It Is, but Il Is
better adapted for a village than the
business portion OF this great town OF
ours. And when requested to move on
by the meek policeman, how they glare
at him. or course that's what he's for,
but It tries his soul.
The spectacle OF fair group standing
on the curb or on the middle Of a cross-
Ing is frequent, or Of couple Of girls
suddenly stopping on the street In front
OF some store, to talk for an hour or so
to their male acqualntanoes, is as fre-
qnent. II Is an unpleasant task for the

Is a hindrance to pedestrians, and he

such things will not be.

WILL FIGHT DE ARMITT
To tho Bitter End-ThHti Is the Decision OF
PItt,burgh Miners.

HlUApHrHh miners.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, Sept. S,-The
fight of the miners against the New
York and Cleveland Gas Coal Company
Is to be waged to the bitter end. II
the strike Is declared Off In the rest of
the district at the Columbus convention,
1t will still be kept up at the De Armitt
mines.
a secret conference between the lead
ers OF the miners and the camp leaders
has been held and a plan outlined for
the continuance OF the fight. This plan
took definite shape and will be pre-
scented to the Columbus conference,
where Its adoption Is almost foregona
conclusion. The idea Is 10 wage ma
tlonal fight against this company The
miners of the Pittsburgh district. II Is
argued, cannot hope to maintain a min
ing rate OF 65 cents ton for any length
of time II tho mines OF the New York
and Cleveland Gas Coal Company are
to be allowed TO work at n rate of "a
cents n ton. This would give the latter
company an undue advantage over all
the rest in the matter of selling their
coal, and II would not be long until the
other operators would begin to ask thel1
men to bring down their price. Conse-
quentiy, the strikers argue. II behooves
the miners of the Pittsburgh district
especially to see that the De Armitt
mines are kept idle until such time as
the company sees 1T to give its men tho
same price for their work as the other
operators.
The plan which was formulated at
yesterdays secret conference is that a
national fund shall be established to
carry on the fight. II is proposed to pay
the men at the De Armitt mines who
remain out on strike n certain amount
of money which will be sufficient to pre-
vent them from going back
II Is expected that all competitive
fields will be brought into this arrange
mont and that the scheme will be sue
cessfully carried out.
