90 TENNYsoN's FAITH.
The Problem OF the Future Life Had
the Dominant Interest.

the Dominant Interest.
A reader Of the "Iife Of Tennyson,
by his son, will be struck by the fact
that no subject interested him SO deep
ly as the problem of the future life. He
will also observe that it was always
problem to him, one that he was con-
stantly raising, that would not stay set
tied. To be sure, he was q believer in
immortality, but not restful believer.
He was all the time digging up the
roots Of his faith to be sure they were
alive. The old question would not stay
unanswered. The reader of his poetry
observes the same thing. He is always
on the side Of faith, but Of somewhat
disturbed faith. He belonged to that
metaphysical society" which invited
into its membership believers OF all
shades, with all shades of unbelievers,
whose object was to raise and answer
doubts about God and the future life.
He was the spokesman of the scientific
doubt of the age, fluttering over the
doveoots of faith, but hardly settling
and resting and nesting therein.
One observes the contrast with this
futtering faith who reads the poems of
Milton, with their abiding faith in the
future life. This is the spiritual con-
trast between "In Memoriam" and
"Lycidas. 4" In Milton's requiem, even
under its paganized form, there is ro-
bust and jubilant faith in God and
eternal life. No question enters. The
mind and heart are satisfied. The dear
friend is beyond all doubt among the
saints and choirs above. One regrets
that Tennyson's mental structure per
haps could find positiveness and rest or
questions of politics or poetry, but
must perennially dubitate-to be sure,
with the hopeful balance of probability
over questions of faith. II believe

PeopIe of stone Age.

"The stone age" is not, properly
speaking, an expression Of time. Il re-
fers to a stage in civilization which
passed long ago in Europe and Asia,
but still fingers in some out of the way
corners of the world. A report Of La
Plata museum in Paraguay describes
the Ouayoquis, small tribe Of 800 or
500 living near the headwaters OF the
Acaray river, as true stone age people.
They are timid, harmless folks, desper-
ately afraid Of the whites, and with
reason, as they have been shamefully
abused by them. They have no weapons
for defense save bows, lances and stont
tomahawks. They are undersized and
rnund headed.

n.,nu Decks During a Fight.


The position Of the men below decks
ON a modern vessel of war, they being
isolated by the watertight matches and
doors, has been frequently commented
upon, but their position is not always
SO hard as has been supposed. On the
Brooklyn, during the fight before San
tiago, Admiral Schley sent orderlies
among the men behind casemates and
below decks telling them the effects OF
the shots and how the fight was going
When the chase of the Colon began, the
orderlies went down to the stoke holes
and engine room and told the men
there that the race had begun and ev
erything depended upon them. The wis

Suicide of Two Girls who Loved

Suicide of Two Girls Who Loved
Each Other.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. 16.-Becsuse of
a belief that they were unfit to live, two
girls of whom the father of one said, "they
loved each other like man and woman COM
mitted suicide today by jumping from
ferry boat into the Delaware river. They
were Bessie Foust aged nineteen, Of 721 Fee
doral street, Camden, N. j., and Maud Hoff-
nagle, aged twenty, of 423 Reed street, this
city. Each took the leap to death together,
hand in hand and were drowned before a
rescue could be affected The bodies have
not yet been recovered.
The double suicide was evidently prear-
ranged. The girls had been close associ ates
for five or six weeks, and alternated in visits
to each others home, spending two and three
days at a time. They had been at the Hoff-
nagle home since Sunday. Leaving there this
morning to go to Bessies home, Maud said
to her mother:
"This IS the last time you will see u.s.
Mrs. Hoffnagle treated the remark as jocu-
lar. The young girls appeared at the ferry
house Of the Reading railroad about O'Clock
in the morning. They were apparently cheer
full and lighthearted. They took the 1915
boat for Camden, but they did not go a7ho e.
While the boat was on its way back to Phila-
delphia the girls pushed their way back by
a deck hand and leaped from the OK togesh-
er. They sank almost Immediately.
A note was found in pocketbook they had
and consisted of a quotation from a melan-
choly poem, and the words, 1--WE find we ar :

million, Kankakee and the adjoining counties
crowded on the temporary grand stand, which
had only been erected for the occasion. The
seats were filled in few moments, but this
did not prevent others from crowding in
the aisles of the gallery and occupying every
available inch Of space. The tremendous
weight oyerstra:ned the beams and the grand
stand gave way. A warning cry was uttered.
and this precipitated the accident. The rush
of persons trying to get off the grand stand
brought the weight in one spot and the whole
structure collapsed. Eight hundred people
fell with the broken beams, and their cries
of pain changed the aspect of the reunion.
Men, women and children struggled to free
themselves from each other and from the
spl.ntered beams. Bones were broken or
crushed under the falling beams, but those in
jured will recover.
