In the tanners barn al Thurmont,
A homeless wanderer died,
No sister near, or mother dear,
When the spirit winged its fight.
comrade tried to ease the way,
And stay life's Pickering lamp;
But death, the master of rich and poor,
Received a homeless tramp
Kindly hands prepared the way
For earthly resting place,
Flowers, the jewels of the earth,
Were placed upon the grave.
Citizens of Thurmont, thy sympathy
For a stranger at thy door,
Will Justly be recorded, n
Gods great book of love.
Despised on earth, rejected by men.
His faults, We cannot Judge,
worthless branch may blossom at
The Masters loving touch
Only tramp, says society,
But who shall throw the stone
When king and pauper equal stand,
Before the judgment throne.
Only a tramp, yet in childhood days,
Perhaps mothers joy;
Our Father, who art In heaven, forgive,
And unite the mother and boy.

Kinley and his official advisers, in

disturbed by the news that the Spanish
fiotilla has coaled up and is awaiting
orders to sail from ST. Vincent for

matter commanding serious attention.

Memphis. Tenn, April 1l.-Pecan
Point levee has given way. but 1t is inn
possible to say what the loss will be.
Government engineers have been watch
ing the levee for a week. The first
break was reported at o'clock in the
afternoon. One thousand sacks of dirt
and sand were sent at once to the
scene. Tapping had begun in several
places, and the southern end. which was
in an advanced state of decay, gave
way under the intense pressure.
The Mississippi at this place lacks
two inches of reaching the high water
mark of last year. The danger is be-
iieved to be greater than ever before.
Three breaks occurred in the levee at
Marion, Crittenden county, Ark, within
an hour of each other. Prisoners in the
county jail were removed on a barge
to a mound two miles inland There
has been no loss of life, but serious
