Lift up your souls, oh. ye dear broken
hearted!
Trust in the power Of Life. Truth and
Love.
Mourn not as lost any loved one de-
parted;
Lift up your souls to the heights above.
Lift up your souls! With earnest endeavor,
Put forth your hands to the work of to-
day.
Into the realms of no distant forever
Fer let thy power for good drift away.
Lift up your souls! See the bright light is
streaming;
1t adorns the dark sky with the clouds
of the air;
On the tall mountains the sunshine Is
cleaning
Lift up your souls, for the morning is fair.
Lift up your souls! Yield not to repining-
If the burden be heavy thy strength shall
be great.
Lift up your souls! For the bright sun Is
shining

In Summer DAYS Gone By

oh. where's the plague of summer gone.
That brought such endless pain?
Or did the wee mosquito so
To Jerseys home again?
The dangling screens that swayed o'erhead
Ne'er scared them from their game,
Because the varmints stole beneath.
And got there just the same.
Where is The man that shook the town
And roared with thunder voice.
The while he swung his mighty ak
Upon the dripping ice?
No more his wagon rumbles by
With wave of Arctic fame:
But nature lends a kindly hand
We get there just the same.
oh. where's the summer crowds that went
To country, beach and park,
The stylish places where they roomed,
But slipped from in the dark?
That board bill may be stiN unpaid,
The while the good old dame,
Tho calculating how she'd beat,
Got beaten just the same.
All. dear summer days. you're gone,
While she I deemed so true
Is married, and I've had to SOAK
The bike" that seated two.
The winters come, and I'm clean "bust; -
Oh, what a burning shame!
But when the summer comes again
Well get there just the same.

Imperialism and the Senate

1t is long since intelligent Americans had
cause to repeat Websters congratulation,
1T is fortunate that there is a senate of the
United States.' But just now they can
heartily re-echo that sentiment, and add
their congratulations that the power of the
president to make treaties is limited by the
proviso that twothirds OF the senators pres
ent concur. 1t seems inconceivable that such
concurrence can be obtained for treaty
annexing the Philippines, since opposition
to expansion may already be called doc
trinc of the Democratic party with much
more confidence than expansion can be called

ITALIAN FACTIONS IN
 SANGUINARY CONFLICT
Rocks, Clubs, Chains and Axes Used in a Desperate Affray at
 Mill Valley

SAN RAFAEL, Aug. 22.-One of the bloodiest brawls that ever disgraced community occurred in Mill Valley last evening between rival members of two Italian secret societies. Rocks, clubs, heavy chains and axes were the weapons used and the fray was so fierce that the ground near the scene was dyed crimson with the gore of the contestants. Carlos Luraghi and his wife Rose, together with Carlos and Antone Guratti. two brothers in-law, formed one faction; The three male members are said to belong to the Maf1a- Their opponents were Augustus, Carlos and John Fararri, who have the reputation of belonging to another Italian secret society.
 The feud is of long standing and when the men met near the depot in Mill Valley last evening a quarrel began. Luraghi took offense at a remark and struck John Fararri over the head with loaded cane splitting his scalp and knocking him down. Carlos Guratti followed up the on- slaught by yielding a heavy fog chain. and was met by fusillade of cobbles and blows from clubs in the hands of the Fararri brothers.
 The melee became general and the fac tions fell upon each other and fought like wild beasts. Luraghi was felled to his knees by blow from a club, when his wife uttered a scream of rage and rush ing up with an ax inflicted deep cut on Augustus Fararrfs skull. The blow was glancing, otherwise 1t might have proved fatal. At this juncture num-

SAMPSON CALLS

 Commission. PLANS NOT YET FORMULATED WILL BE GIVEN WRITTEN IN
 STRUCTIONS. Admiral Details Incidents of the Big Naval Battle-The President
 Listens With Deep
 Interest.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Admiral Sampson called on President Mckinley to-day and spent thirty-five minutes with him in discussion of the Cuban Commissions plans and other matters He reached here on the train from New York at 3:38 o'clock this afternoon and drove immediately to the Navy Depart ment There he spent some minutes exchanging courtesies with the naval officials. when Acting Secretary of the Navy Allen drove with him to the White House, the two joining the Pres ident at a quarter past 4.
 The President shook the admiraps hand very cordially and inquired about his experience in commanding the fleet in the Cuban waters Admiral Samp- son referred briefly to a number of the important incidents in the war The details of the great battle of July were gone over quite thoroughly. The President at the outset took occasion to express his thanks to the admiral for the success of the battle and showed deep interest in the story Of the engagement as told by him. The talk also bore on the reasons for not entering the harbor at Santiago and the placing of the mines and torpedoes In Cuban ports.
 The plans of the commission to ar range for the evacuation of Cuba were talked over and the President was asked as to whether formal instructions would be given the commission. The President told the admiral that written instructions would be given the com mission in few days. The talk along this line was of a general nature and laid down no strict line of policy.
 During the call Secretary Alger came over from the War Department to con- suit the President regarding the dispo- sition of troops, and finding Admiral Sampson there greeted him and joined in the discussion. Both Rear Admirals Sampson and Schley had been invited here by the President to confer on the plans of the commission, but Admiral Schley did not arrive until this after noon Admiral Sampson looked some what fatigued. He did not wear his uniform, being attired In an ordinary sack suit of light mixed cloth.
 After leaving the President he stopped just long enough to gratify several autograph enthusiasts and then drove off to his hotel, where Acting Secretary Allen left him. The latter announced positively that the admiral would retain his command on the North Atlantic squadron while one or the Cuban Commissioners. No tune has been fixed for the commissions de departure Pending the receipt or the Presidents written instructions, Ad- miral Sampson will go to his home in New Jersey to spend few days.

NEVADA TROOPS IN REVOLT. Protest Against Doing Garrison Duty
 in Arizona

CARSON, New. Aug. 22.-War Is brew ing at Camp Clark. There is dissatisfac- tion among the soldiers arising out of the fact that a telegram sent from Carson by Senator William M. Stewart to Secretary Alger asking the retention of the Nevada battalion and that they be not mustered out of service brought back the reply that the request would be granted and that the soldiers would be sent to do garrison duty in Arizona. This raised the trouble, and a few who declared they had enlisted to fight, not to become human watch dogs, circulated a petition this afternoon to be sent to the Secretary of War pray ing that they be mustered out if they could not be sent to Manila or Honolulu.
 Nearly every man from two companies signed the petition. but the officers got wind of the scheme, and, demanding pos session of the document destroyed 1t and reprimanded the participants for meddling with affairs that did not concern them. They were threatened with con- flnement in the guard house if such a thing was attempted again. This put the battalion in a high rage and they shower ed condemnation upon their officers heads. It is difficult to predict what the result will be.
