You with the dark and weary eyes,
Weary OF love and sacrifice,
Come with me over the waters pale
In my small gray boat with the slender
sail
Into the twilight we shall steal,
And the little gray waves along our keel
Shall sing YOU a slumbor song Of the sea,
Where sleep endureth uncndlngly.
The gray Sea Spirits in tender wise
Shall lay cool hands upon your eyes;
In their arms Of mist you shall fall asleep,
And sea dreams into your soul shall creep.
And none shall know-but on the shore
The old gray willows bent and hoar
Shall shlvcr and sigh to themselves next
Leaning out over the sea Away.

The esteemed Register, in an article
boastlng of its news OF the miners strike,
measures the news by inches. Quantity
in a single Item Is more important in
some peoples eyes than quality. In CIV
ing the general news of the world the In
telllgencer is satisfied to give both guam
tlty and quality as well as variety 1t is
also content to let the public judge it
upon its merits.
There is such thing as not recogniz-
ing the importance of covering all the
most important news. at least briefly.
The Sunday Register, in making its vain
boast forgot that in the same. issue was
an entire absence of the most important
piece of Washington news the Associated
Press has sent from Washington for
weeks, namely the agreement of the con-
ference committee on the tariff BILL in
volvlng the defeat OF the senate sugar
schedule and the victory for the house
schedule; also the changes affecting
West vlrglnia's interests, The Assoc
clated Press sent this news to Wheeling
Saturday night The Register did not
publish It, though It concerned the busI-
ness interests of the entire state.

Hon. Chauncey NJ. Depew gets right
down to the meat OF the coal question
when he says: When the output of btu
mlnous coal is three times as large as the
consumption, there are only two things
to do: Either the operators must COM
blne to reduce the output, which the
newspapers denounce as trust, and
which would raise the price of the COM
modify; or the operators must fight It
out. When the weak operator gets his
miners to accept lower wages, then the
wealthy operator cuts wages also, 1t
is always the wage Garner who gets the
worst of It, It's a survival Of the ilttest.

POLICE SERGEANT RESCUES A
WHOLE FAMILY FROM A CA
REENING HOUSE-BOAT
UNDER The HIGH BRIDGE.
ONE OF THE NUMBER OF EXCITING
INCIDENTS OF THE
DAY.
Danger to the Raging Father
of Waters.

The river rose three inches between
a. m. and p. m. yesterday. The
rapid current and strong wind from
the northwest resulted in the ice break
ing up, and considerable of the frozen
mass floated down the river. Large
crowds lined the Wabasha and Robert
street bridges during the afternoon
and watched the ice as it formed
miniature gorges and jams, and then
slowly broke up and f1oated away.
The wind drove the ice toward Rasp-
berry island, and the float in front of
the Minnesota Boat club house was
torn from it's fastenings, and that por-
ton Of the island above the Wabasha
street bridge was packed with broken
ice about three feet from the water
line. There were any number of ru-
mors about ice gorges being formed
at points up and down the river, but
chased down for verification they did
not materialize. At o'clock last even
ing the river, according to the govern
ment gauge, was 10.1 feet and slowly
rising. The danger line, according to
the government report, is fourteen feet,
and from this it will take several days
at the present rate of rise before any
serious damage results from high
water. The residents of the upper flats,
however, are somewhat fearful that the
flood may play havoc with their homes
and are keeping close watch of the
water, in preparation to take to boats
or the bluffs on short notice
One Of the most exciting incidents Of
the day in connection with the freshet
was the rescue last evening of a family
consisting Of a woman and her six chill
dren from a houseboat, which was in
imminent danger Of being carried away
or crushed by the floating ice in the
river. Early in the evening a resident
Of West st. Paul called at the police
station and reported that one Of the
WaneganS, or house boats, above the
high bridge was in a very preearious
position, and the occupants were in
great danger. Sergt. Davis went to the
place and found the situation to be
fully as serious as had been represent
ed. The boat had been raised out
of the river on piles or stills, but they
were not strong, and one Of them had
already been carried away by the ice,
allowing the boat to sag at one end.
This perilOus habitatiOn the officer
found was occupied by Mrs. Henry
Furshnen and her six children, the
husband and father, wHo is a railroad
labOrer being away from home at the
time and ignorant of the danger which
threatened his family. and his home.
Mrs. Furshnell, although realizing the
insecurity of their abode, was without
means, and felt that she had no alter
native but to remain where she was
-Sergt., Davis succeeded in getting the
family safely out of the threatened
boat, and for the present time. estab-
Hshed them in a house near by, but
located beyond the danger line.

the Milwaukee road, whose home is in
Brooklyn, N. Y, was run over by q
transfer train on the Milwaukee road

and was accompanied by a friend nam
ed John Griffin, who lives at COL Third

the depot and COnnOrs ran to catch it,
Griffin started to walk up the track
and when he arrived at the point nam
ed, found his friend lying helpless
across the rails. Officers Perro and
HenneSSy, who arrived about the same
time, placed the injured man in the
patrol wagon and took him to the city
hospital Some of the witnesses of the
accident state that Connors caught
hold Of the guard rail of one of the
cars and was running alongside the
train questioning one of the brakemen
when he stumbled and fell under the
wheels. The conductor of the train was
J. H. Anderson, who lives at 210 West

known as the First Illinois light artii-
iery, in April, 1861. The battery went
to Cairo, and July 16, 1861, Maj White
was mustered in the volunteer service
as a private in Company B, First lll1-
nois light artillery. At the battle CT
Belmont, Aug. 3, 1861, he was wounded
In the active discharge of his duty anu
lost his right arm. He was henora1ly
discharged for disability ian. 20, 1862,
and in May Of the same year was ap-
pointed and commissioned by President
Lincoln as captain and acting quarter
master of the United States volunteers
He served in the quartermaSter de-
partment for years, in active service
on the Mississippi and the gulf, anu
April 26, 1866, was brevetted major OF
volunteers for faithful services on the
field of battle. He was appointed cap
tain of the Forty-fourth infantry, reg
ular army, in July, 1867 and in the
same month was brevetted major for
meritorious services rendered and for
the faithful discharge of his duty. He
was placed on the retired list of the
regular army Dec. Is, 1870. The Forty
fourth infantry was known as the Vet
Grams reserve, and was made up en-
tirely of officers disabled while in line
of duty.
At the time of his death Maj. White
was recorder of the Minnesota COM
mandery of the Loyal Legion. He was
elected to this office when the Mime
sofa cOmmandery was organized, in
June, 1885, and was one of the twenty
charter members of the commandery.
He was one of, and, in fact, the most
active in the organization of the Min
nesOta department Of the order, and
since then has devoted himself to the
interests of the order with heart and
soul. He has held the office of record
er of the order for the past twelve
years, and, as the officers have often
expressed it, he was the one who prac-
tically did all the work Of the COM
mandery.
He was also a member of the Sons
of the Revolution, but held no official
position in that association, the great
er part of his time being taken up in
his duties as recorder of the Loyal
Legion. He was a member of Acker
post, G.. A. r., and was prominently
identified with the entertainment Of
the national encampment of the c.. A.
r., which was held in this city last
year. He was a member of St. Johns
Episcopal church, and the funeral serV-
ices will, undoubtedly, be held from
the church.

WAS ILL LESS THAN A WEEK,

A BAD ATTACK OF PERL

WAS REsoRTED TO
In Hope of Saving HIS Life, and He
Rallied Somewhat, but to No
Avail.

Prof. George Seibert, the veteran or
chestral director, whose name has been
indissolubly connected with the history
of music in st. Paul since an early day,
died this morning at LOS o'clock at St
Joseph's hospital after a very short
illness
1t had been expected until a short
time before the close Of the week that
his regular fortnightly concert, to have
been given at the Metropolitan opera
house yesterday afternoon, could be
given, but Saturday it was apparent
that this was not the case, and willis
hopes were still entertained for the
directors recovery, they were in vain
1t was Tuesday last that Prof. Seibert
was taken down with an aggravated
case of peritOnitis, which has since
baff1ed the best medical skill in ST.
Paul. Saturday evening the patient was
removed to st. Joseph's hospital, and
an operation performed by Drs Stamm
and SchWyZer in the last vain hope Of
saving his life. Mr. Seibert rallied
somewhat from the shock of the opera
ton, and while the physicians were not
greatly encouraged as to his ultimate
recovery, they felt warranted in the
belief that life might be prolonged a
few days. Prof. Seibert sank rapidly,
however, last night, expiring as above
stated, shortly after l O'Clock
The dead conductor was sixty-one
years Of age, and was related to some
of the most prominent German families

Joe Davis Drag Net.

Sergeant Joe Davis arrived at the central
police station soon after o'clock yesterday
morning accompanied by a quartette Of
young people of very shame-faced appear
ance. The party comprised two very pretty
and stylishly attired young women and an
equal number of well dressed young men.
They all appeared to resent their arrest,
and seemed greatly perturbed for fear some
person might see them. They gave the fc-
utious names of Flo Miller, Carrie Wright
A. Edwards and E. F. Harris. The prisoners
were arrested in a fat on st. Peter street
near Ninth. Sergeant Davis stated that he
would fully warrant the charge of disorderlv
conduct which he placed against them Soon
after their arrest one of the men furnished
Sl5 apiece for their appearance in court to-
day, and all were released.
One of the women was recognized as Marie
Chalmers, who formerly kept house of i'll
fame on West Third street, and the men are
said to be ..drummers" from the East.

WORDS OF ARMY MEN.
They Mourn Mai. White as n Dear
Companion.

The news of Maj Whites death
came as a great shock to his many
old comrades in this city, and to none
mere so than Col. John H Page
and his predecessor at Fort Smelling.
Gen. E. c. Mason.
Col. Page and Maj White began
their journey in army life together,
both enlisting as privates in the First
Illinois light artillery Col Page de-
plores the death of his old comrada
very much, and says that he feels that
1t will be many q day before a man
can be found who will fill his place.
Maj. White was also very highly
esteemed by Gen. Mason, who says, in
speaking of his past life "He was Il
most admirable man, thoroughly up
right and conscientious, and he always
impressed me as a man who hunted
out the right path and then followed
it, without faltering. no matter where
1t might lead him. His home life was
especially beautiful He was an ex-
ceedingly afTectionate father, and
placed the interests Of his children
next to his ideas of right The death
of bis wife was a great blow to him
and he felt her loss very keenIy [
don't know what we are going to do
without him in the Loyal Legion. His
services to that organization were in
valuable. and in conducting it's affairs
he displayed exceptional ability. He
always had the interests of the organi
cation at heart, and nothing that he
undertook ever went amiss. There was
not man in the ranks of the retired
army officers who commanded more
esteem than did Maj. White"

paper, this week says:
Corporal S. w Taliaferro, after
spending week in the city,
left Tuesday for his post at
Fort Assinnaboine, Mont. He
came to this city for the purpose
OF taking the examination for promo
ton to second lieutenant in the United
States Army. He is the school teacher
at his post and holds two diplomas
from institutions Of learning and
taught school several years before en-
tering the army. He is an extremely
bright and intelligent young man and
had little or no fear of the mental eX-
animation. He was the first Afro
American in the army who had the
nerve and pluck to undertake the eX-
animation for promotion. Though he
has not been sick to speak of in fifteen
years and has never been on sick re-
port since he entered the army over
two years ago he was declared by the
board of medical examiners to be physi-
cally disqualified. Maybe he is, but
he was physically qualified to enlist
as a private, and he could not now get
discharge on account of physical
disability. We would not dare to cues
ton the integrity of the men who COM
posed the examining board, but we can
not help but feel that the greatest
physical disability Corporal Taliaferro
had was the color of his skin. The Off
GERS of the army are the most aristo-
cratic set of men in this country, and
an officer who has not the West Point
brand on him gets as little consider
alton at their hands as it is possible
for them to give. Black soldiers for
white men to command will barely do,
and the time was when officers of black
regiments were ostracized; but a black
officer from the ranks such a thing
would never do. Corporal Taliaferro
takes his i'll luck +good-naturedly and
says he will keep on studying and
working, and when he leaves the army
he will be fixed to do business on his
own hook
