And bid, with one word, grief depart7
Oh, be a new woman, Adele, my own,
Just long enough to betray

If you think you'd enjoy lifelong sway!

THE HERRLD'S MUSE
Lines

To Mrs. Mary Smith, on the one hundred
and third anniversary of her birth.
A hundred summer suns, and more.
Have scattered blossoms round thy door.
A hundred times October skies
Have spread their glory for thine eyes.
The SHOWS of many winters now
With glory crown thy placid brow;
While light, that never can depart,
Dwells In the springtime of thine heart
Loved ones, who cheer the onward way
Gather around thee here today.
And garland bright, with tokens des',
The portals Of thy newborn year.
Upon it's border now you stanu.
But, turning from that shadowy Ia q,
Your memory's glance is backward
thrown,
On lows that other days have known.
Again you live youths happy hours.
A child, amid the birds and flowers;
And trace the steps to womanhood.
Guarded by parents wise and good.
Again a joyous bride you stand,
Pledging a loving heart and hand.
Then, clustering round, with JOY and
mirth,
Rise jewels Of immortal birth.
A tender heart, a ready hand.
A soul of noble purpose grand,
Shedding, amid a world of strife.
The perfume Of a blameless life.
Now, when the busy tolls are Ger,
And earthly troubles vex no more.
In arms of tenderest love you rest,
And chidren's children call you blest.
In sweet communion with the Friend
Whose tender mercies know no end:
Singing the hymns of early days,
Your life an endless psalm of praise.
Today, with reverent love, you wait
The swinging of the nearly gate.
What e'er the coming year may see,
We know it's ever well with thee.
Supernal peace and length of days
Crown those who walk in wisdom's ways
Honored by all, with one accord
Live the beloved of the Lord.

MULLER AND KELLY
 ARE TRAINING HARD
PUGnISTs WHO WILL FIGHTBE-
 FORE THE WESTERN CLUB.
Lavingne Is Putting On Hard Flesh Daily at the Six-Mile House
 Training Station.

Next Tuesday evening the Western Athletic Club will hold a boxing enter
 tainment in Woodward's Pavilion. The director-general, Martin Murphy, Is au-
 thority for the statement that the sport
 ing public will be treated to a first-class evenings sport.
 The feature of the entertainment will
 be a twenty-round contest between Fred
 Muller of the Manhattan Athletic Club
 and the famous Spider Kelly, who has
 attended Tom Sharkey in many of the
 sailors principal battles. The Spider"
 and the man-o'-warsman have been in
 correspondence ever since they were
 matched to fight, and some of the letters received from Sharkey are quite interest
 ing, by the way. Thomas concludes one
 of his epistles in this wise:
 Spider, old boy l hope to hear of your knocking the block off the Jew in a few punches. l know you can do the trick easily. Take no chances, but put 1t on to him quick as he is husky kind of a lad and may outlasU you if you fool any time away. have a mortal cinch on Corbett. If Gentleman Jim will only stand his ground and give blow for blow some body will pick his head up outside of as sure as my name is Tom Sharkey.'
 Kelly is training for the contest at the 9sean beach ana nd, Muller is a tTaining nj at ing up quite a few points from the clever light weight. Muller's friends contend that Kelly will not be in the game from start to finish, but the Spider" says that it will take a much better man than Null Ter to land him on the boards. The pre- liminaries will consist of a ten-round bout between the game Jimmy Reilly and pupil of Fred Muller's, who is said to be a very stiff puncher, and a ten-round "go'' between Kid McFadden and Kid who is also training at the Six Mile House. All in all the athletic bill of fare is above the ordinary mess given to the sporting public of this city, and will doubtless be well attended.
 Joe Cans will have another chance to prove to Eastern sporting men what he can do when he trains to win. Cans and Jack Daily, who is a pupil of Sam Fftz- patrick, have been matched to fight be- fore the Cleveland Athletic Club, Cleve- land, Ohio, for an alleged purse of $5000, to weigh in at 133 pounds. It is more than likely that the purse is $500, as Eastern clubs are not giving large purses except ing on paper these days
 Betting on the Corbett and Sharkey fight has already commenced. At Crow ley's poolrooms few wagers have been made that Corbett will get a decision over the sailor. The betting is s10 to $7, with Corbett a fayorite.
 The sporting men of Fruitvale, Alameda County, are making great preparations for the fistic entertainment which will be given in Plittsville Park on Tuesday evening next for the benefit of the Fruit l vale fire department. The names of the boxers engaged have already been pub- lished.

Seven Regiments Are
 Coming.
THEY ARE TO WINTER HERE
GOVERNMENT PROBABLY PRE- PAIRING FOR EMERGENCIES.
Department Commander Not Yet Notified, but Would Not Be Sur prised if More Men
 Should Come.

Of late there have been rumors afloat in military circles to the effect that 1t was the intention of the War Department to winter large force of volunteer troops on this coast. It Is said that from five to seven regiments will be sent to this city in the near future to go into winter quar- ters here. This rumor has been in circu- lation for the past two weeks, but con- stant inquiry at department headquarters has revealed the fact that General Mer- rtam has not yet been notified of any such intention on the part of the War Depart ment. When seen about the matter yes terday he stated that as far as he knew there was nothing in the report, but he added that as a matter of fact he was never notified of the arrival Of any of the other regiments of the Eighth Army Corps until they reached here.
 In speaking of the matter he said: ''When the war broke out 1 was notified by the War Department to prepare to equip the troops of California, Oregon and Washington, amounting in all to about 5000 troops. This was all the notice given me, and was never informed of the eX- pected arrival of any other troops until they reached here.'
 Officers who are in a position to know, while affirming that they do not believe any more troops will be sent here for the present, admit that such step on the part of the War Department would not surprise them, owing to the unsettled condition of affairs in the Philippines. They declare that if there should be a material hitch in the Peace Commission at Paris there will be a rapid centralizing of troops in the Philippines, and that in such case they will very naturally be embarked from this city.
 It is possible that the Government may have something up its sleeve, and is quietly preparing for some future move that has not yet been made known to the public. If troops should be sent here in the near future 1t is conceded in military circles that it will mean that the renewal of hosrilitles is unavoidable, as San Fran cisco is the most undesirable place to winter troops on account Of the rainy sea- son. In support of this theory General Merriam stated that for the past month he has been very much exercised in get ting the troops away from here, so that they would not have to encounter the rains.
 Private Charles Dennis. Company B, Eighth California Regiment, wh9 has been on duty at department headquarters, has been ordered to rejoin his company at the Presidio.
 Leave of absence for fifteen days on account of sickness, has been granted to Captain R. NJ Kirby Smith, assistant surgeon of the First Tennessee Regiment.

A INHALER. LIBELED.
Sailors Accuse Captain Willard of
 Cruelty and Breach of Contract.

William Hartle, John O'Keefe and thir- teen others, sailors of the steam whaling bark Belvedere, filed a libel against the bark yesterday in the United States Dis trict Court. They allege that they shipped for a twelve months whaling cruise and that they were frozen in all winter in the Arctic Ocean, near Point Barrow, and that when the vessel got away and reached Port Clarence at the expiration of their term of service they asked to be discharged. They aver that the master, Captain Willard, not only refused to com tually prisoners on board the bark for eight months longer. Two of their num- Der, Lopez and Dwyer, protested, and were placed in irons by the captain and triced up by the wrists from ' o'clock in the morning of August 5 until Il o'clock of the evening of the same day.
 They ask for $500 damages for detention and Lopez and Dwyer demand $500 addi- tonal for being troned and triced up.
