Finds HIS Aged Father.


Finds HIS Aged Father.
New York. Aug. 2o.-After years Of
search. Edward Charles Collins. Boston
merchant. on Thursday found his father,
from whose home he ran away thirty
years ago, and who had mourned him as
dead for more than quarter OF CEN
tury. The meeting was an affecting one.
Justice OF the Peace Edwin Collins, of
Harrison, N. J.. the father, at first did
not recognize in the broad-shouldered,
middie-aged man the son who had gone
to seek his fortune when a lad of fifteen
But both men wept for JOY when the
merchant made himself known.
Justice Collins is one of the best-known
residents in West Hudson. where he has
held court for many years.
With William Crane, DR.. Charles Rothe
and one or two others. Justice Collins was
sitting in front of Cranes store on Thurs
day afternoon. when a tall man stopped
abruptly in front of the group. The
stranger gazed intently at Justice Collins.
but for some moments said nothing, the
group returning his scrutiny.
"Is your name Collins?" he finally
asked.
"Yes, Justice Collins" answered. Mr..
Crane HE is very deaf, stranger, SO you
will have to speak up" he added.
The man asked the justice to step into
the store
The white bearded old man nodded his
head and led the way to Mr.. Cranes back
office. He thought he was to be consult
ed about some legal trouble.
Mr.. Crane and DIR. Rothe were startled a
few minutes later by hearing the old man
sobbing. When they entered the back
parlor the stranger stood upright with
one arm thrown about Justice Collins.
who was patting his sons back and weep
ing with joy.
When their emotion subsidized, the story
was told Charles Collins told how after
he left home he had many adventures be-
fore locating permanently in Boston In
that city he obtained employment In a
wholesale produce house. OF which he is
now sole owner. He told Of his many
searches for his parents when fortune be-
gan to smile upon him, of his marriage
and of his children.
The story was complete when the son
told the white haired father how royal
his welcome would be when he went back
with him to spend his last days.
Justice Collins said yesterday that he
would accompany his son to Boston as
soon as his affairs could be settled.

These are gray days for kings and for the art

Men are today grown serious Of heart.

Content to rule no more it left to reign
Yet there sovereigns still. uncrowned who

Kings of the mind whom other kings obev.

Who fearedst nausht save only might divine,

Thou sawcst the goal and followedst It alone
When thine own kinsmen cursed thee, seeing

To rear an empire out Of nothngness;
Not his bot thine through anxious years to

Not his but thine the splendor Of success
When. at the last, the foe that blocked thy path.
Bafhed and beaten in each dark design,
Dropped his poor mask to draw the sword Of

Then thy right hand against his power malign.
Loosing the lightnings of nations wrath,
Flung tie impetuous legons o'er the Rhine.
Then came the shock Of conflict and the roar
OF black-lipped cannon and the flaming breath
Hot from the hell OF battle-such before
Wars grim recorder ne'er remembereth;
While the gashed earth drank grecdily OF gore,
And swooned and sickened at the taste Of DEATH
And the fair sinful city her height.

Ceased from her mockery and in alright
