At the Church Gate.

Although I enter not,
Yet round about the spot
Ofttimes | hover;
And near the sacred gate,
With longing eyes | wait,
ENpeCtant of her.
The minister bell tolls out
Above the city's rout,
And noise and humming.
They've hushcd the minister bell;
The organ gins to swell;
She's coming, she's coming!
My lady comes at last,
Timid and stepping fast,
And Fastening hither,
With MODEST eyes downcast;
She comes, she's here, she's past!
May heaven go with her!
kncel undisturbed, fair saint!
Pour out your praise or plant
Meekly and duly;
! will not enter there,
To sully your pure prayer
With thoughts unruly.
But suffer me to pace
Round the forbidden place,
Lingering a minute,
Like outcast spirits, who walt,
And see, through heavens gate.
Angels within it.
William Makepeace Thackeray

Pibroch of DonuiI Dhu.

PibroCh of Donuil Dhu,
PibroCh of Donuil, '.
Wake thy wild voice anew, ..r
Summon Clan-Sonuil!
Come away, come away:
Hark TO the summons!
Come in your war array,
Gentles and commons.
Come from deep glen, and
From mountain so rocky:
The war-pipe and pennon
Are at InverloChy.
Come every hill-plaid, and
True heart that wears one;
Come every steel blade, and
Strong hand that bears one.
Leave untended the herd,
The flock without shelter;
Leave the corpse unintcrred,
The bride at the altar;
Leave the deer, leave the steer,
Leave nets and barges:
Come with your fighting gear,
.Broadswords and targes.
Come as the winds come when
Forest are rended;
Come as the waves come when
Navies are stranded;
Faster come, faster come,
Faster and faster,
Chief, vassal, page, and groom,
Tenant and master!
.,. 80
Fast they come, fast they come,
See how they gather!
Wide waves the eagle plume,
Blended with heather.
Cast your plaids, draw your blades,
Forward each man set!
PibrOch Of Donuil Dhu,
Knell for the onset!

COMFORTABLE HEATING.

The chilly days arc fast approaching when
people who depend upon furnace or steam heat
are expecting their usual fall experience of

house. caught in a sudden cold snap. is a beauti-
full place for catching cold and enjoying all the
discomforts OF home. Then when the furnace is
finally started the weather moderates again.

Our grandfathers were content to
travel in stage coaches, to live in
cabins, and receive a mail once a week.
We demand palace cars, tasteful homes,
and daily communication with the
world. 1t is the rapid-transit age the
age of the telegraph and telephone. A
man speaks to-day and the entire
world reads his words tomorrow morn
ing. There are but twenty-four hours
in the day, but forty-eight hours are
crowded into it.
We all know how we have advanced
materially. Do we realize how we
have advanced scientifically More
than in any other manner. Indeed, it
has been the advancement in science
which has caused the advancement in
material things. The discovery of
steam permitted the railroad and the
steamboat. The development in cleo
tricity made possible the telegraph and
the telephone, so that the development
of the sciences has been the real cause
of all modern advancement.
We will take for example one de-
partment of science, out the most i'm
portant department, one which affects
our very lives and happiness. For
merly the treatment of human ills was
made a matter of superstition, of in
cantation, the same as it is by the med
icine men of the Indians to day. Grad
ually emerging from such blindness, it
was still a matter of bigotry, of folly.
What people must have suffered in
those days can scarcely be imagined.

A~sssaSiy-an Austin Addresses TIE west ma
lepuhitoan Club.


The woman's West End Republican Club
held q meeting in the Hotel Endicott yesterday
afternoon. Tho attendance was very large, for
not only the members but their friends are
stirred up over the campaign. George q. Aus
tin, Chairman OF the Assembly Cities Comm IL.
tee, was the speaker Of the day, his subject
being Estate Legislation" Mrs. Clarence Burns
was in the chair and introduced the speaker.
Il want TO take up the practical side Of legis-
lative work and machinery" said Mr.. Austin.
~ am an organization Republican and l think
l know this club and the work IL is doing well
enough not to apologize for that"
This statement was received with q storm OF
applause, for the women politicians are thor
ough believers in organization. Mr.. Austin
went on to give a birdseye view Of legislative
machinery. He said that he thought tho
mothers, wives and sisters OF all voters had as
much right to judge of all candidates for Office
detail sh' ON H0f the eity Bills enacted in 1875 and
1897, Mr.. Austin struck the note that won his
audience completely.
he said, 81 made up my mind to accomplish
three things. The first was to get money money
city with a seat in school; tho second was to
extend Riverside Drive to Spuyten DuyyI, 80
that New York might 1t have ,Su the, the s rondsrns drive ne
free library. Enough m~oney-S1O 0O,O0O-
is now set: aside to provide. school accommo
take care of any overflow in tho future. 1t
takes TIM, however, to adjust things, Inside
OF three years from now II this school building
question is properly handled it win be solved
for. all time.
"As to the free library, we made q contract
with the three libraries, the Aston, Tilden, and
Lenox, which have charge of the removal Of
the reservoir in Fifth avenue and the erection
OF q library tllero which is to be one Of tho
grandest in the world. 1t must have cost the
managers OF these institutions a great sacri-
fee OF sentiment, but they generously came for
ward md sid that N the Cify would huy tho
land and put up the building 1t should be
known as the New York Public Library. In. a
year the erection OF the new building will be
begun, and we saw to It that It was in the bill
that the library should be opened Sundays and
evenings, so that working men and women
might enjoy its benefits"
Mr.. Austin concluded by saying that he had
purposely refrained from saying anything
about the campaign, as 1t did not open until
tonight.

But this particular one didn't want q button.
She wore in her collar q Democratic star, and
she had trouble in her eye. Sho planted herself
firmly in front Of Major Domo Henckler and
looked at him for a minute without speaking.
Henchler is portly and dignifed, but he began to

Eugene V. Debs addressed an audience of

the direction of tho Social Democracy, and was
opened by Thomas Payne. who spoke for q half
an hour, much to the disgust of tho audience,
which had gathered to hear Debs and didn't
want anybody else.
Debs made the same speech he made at tho
Thursday night meeting Of the Social Democ-
rncy. He predicted a speedy change in labor
and governmental conditions, saying that it
would come, not by violence, lawlessness. or
crime, but by the ballot. He attacked Congress,
tho Supreme Court, and the State Legislatures,
declaring that they were all dominated BY tho
money power. The audience was with tho
speaker and cheered him enthusiastically.
