Went forth to serenade his lady fair;
He sang of love and also praised for

Came stealing DER the hilltops gray;
But no fair vision came to bless his

No voice in tender accents babe him

Alas. twas then, to his horror and

RELEASED FROM JAIL.
An American and Thrae Others Ser
 Free on $200 Bail.

Washington, Get. 15.-The state de- partment was notieel today by Ge -rge E. Ksdzia, United Sta tes con sul at Durango, Mexico, that John Bolly, an American citizen. and three others. who have been confined in the Durango jail since February, 1895, had been released on hal. pending an appeal of their case to the supreme court of Mexico. Bolly is a Pitts burg man, who was employed as fore man in the Iron Mountain companys foundry at Durango. The other men are an Englishman, a Canadian, and an Austrian, all holding responsible positions under the Iron Mountain company. One. Of them was the sup erintendent of the foundry.
 They were arrested early in 1895 on charge of stealing machinery from the company. It was urged that they made the machinery in the foundry and intended to use it in starting concern to rival the Iron Mountain company. The accused men made the defence that thay CT dered the machinery from the c,m- pany and were able and willing to pay fer it. All four were convicted and each sentenced to imprisonment for five years. A higher court set aside the verdict and ordered a new trial. From this decision the Iron Mountain company appealed to the supreme court.
 The state department has been try ing for some time to get Bolly raleas- ed on bail. MT. McCowan, the pre- decessor of Mir. Kedzie as Un ted States consul, did not exert himself sufficiently in Bolly's behalf, and when MT. Kedzie was appointed to ! succeed him he was directed to use earnest efforts to secure Bolly's re- lease The bail required in each case was only S2OO.

 'First-That no alteration should be introduced affecting the circulating medium of this country, except after q full discussion in parliament by the public at large, so that the chang s proposed may have as ample consider atfon as their importance deserves.
 ''Second-That under no circum- stances whatever should pledges of successive governments to the British pound sterling and the single gold standard of this country be set aside either directly or indirectly, and tha- no steps should be taken by or with the consent of our government, which has for its object any alteration in the value of that standard.
 'Third-That this country, as one of the great nations of the world, en- joys under it's mint regulations 8 coinage system absolutely free from embaIrassments, internal or external and we conceive that any departure therefrom in the direction of a reliance upon engagements with other coun- tries would be a fatal mistake.

 The next session of the house or The great Gebct1s in the com mons and throughout the country will be upon Irish matters. The bill for Irish local coun government must prove boon to the Irish people when put in o proper shape by the Irish party at Westmins CT, and it would serve to put an end to the systema ic depri- recitation of the Irish, who. thoug1 admit edly fit to govern in every part of the world, are told by a. ass of Englishme1 that they are unfit to govern them elves.
