A FEBRUARY SONG.

Fair February first
Month of st. Valentine and Cupids
sweet!
tOf all hard times | think these are the
worst
And there's that note to meetD
Month when the winters snow
Melts from the icy ruin of the rose,
tBills upon bills! and grasping Greed,
| know
That mortgage will forecloseD
When all the light-kissed hills
Glve to the world their coronets of
green,
lord what flood OF millinery bills!
what can the women meanD
When from the thrilling threats
OF birds the pent-up melodies arise
(Who swould have thought the interest
on those notes
Would grow to that great sizeD
When in her sad distress,
Earth seeks the Spring to soothe her
Borrowing soul.
go for a lodge in some vast wilder
ness
A province at the pOle.)

MRS. JEFFERsON DAVIS.

A Friend Of the Ex-President's Wife
Explains Why She Resides in the
North.
The Macon (Ga.) Telegraph of Sunday
last says Mr.. Edgar s. Wilson returned
yesterday from New York. While in
that city Mr.. Wilson visited Mrs. JEFF
ferson Davis at the Girard Hotel. Mrs.
Davis and Mr.. Wilson are old friends,
and when Mr. Wilson visits New York
he always calls on the widow of the
lamented president of the Confederacy.
In speaking of his visit to Il Telegraph
reporter MIR. Wilson said that on ac-
count of his long friendship with her
she talked freely to him about her fam
lily affairs
Mrs. Davis" said Mr.. Wilson, lis very
much grieved at the criticisms of some
of the Southern people on her making
her home in the North. These criticisms
have reached her cans and have caused
her much sOrrow-a sorrow made all
te more painful because SHE still loves
the South and the Southern people just
aS strongly and as warmly as ever.
don't believe l will violate any conf
dence when tell Mrs. Davis's reasons
for living in New York, and if do, my
excuse for it is a desire to let the people
OF the South know that the criticisms
some of them have made of Mrs Davis
are very unjust, as it is not at all from
choice that she and Miss Winnie live in
the North.
.Irs. Davis told me-" continued Mr..
Wilson. that the planta ton at Beau
voir did not afford living for herself
and daughter on account of freshets,
floods. the low price of cotton, &c, and
that it was necessary for her to work
for IL living The work best suited to both
Of them is Of literary character, and
when they began to look for purchasers
of their productions they only found
them in the North. They have made
repeated efforts to dispose of their work
to Southern purchasers, but have found
the demand very small for it, there being
practically no market for high-class lit
erary work in the South, all of the big
publishers and newspapers that are able
to pay for it being in the North; conse-
quently it became necessary to move
to one OF the large cities, and they select
ed New York. There they find a ready
market for all OF their productions and
the income thus derived, together with
the small income from the Beauvoir
plantation affords them comfortable
living. The joint income from the lit
erary work of Mrs. Davis and Miss
Winnie last year was $4,000 Mrs. Davis
earning $500 and Miss Winnie $1,000"
Mr. Wilson said he Thought those peo-
pie who had criticised Mrs. Davis should
know the circumstances so that each
could think OF himself in her place and
deede if he wouldn't do as she has done.

LITERARY NOTES.

In private letter Miss Julia Magru-
der says of the title OF her new novel A
Realized Ideal, 1T seems to me one OF
the happiest | have ever had. I've heard
several people say Ia read any story
that had that title and / think the
idea is that people are tired Of pessim-
ism and disappointment in novels"
Mr.. f.. Frankfort Moore is at present
engaged in the book of dramatizing
his novel The Jessamy Bride, in which
the hero is Oliver Goldsmith. The book
itself has had a considerable success in
England and in America. while it made
no sensation, its sale, like that of The
Hon. Peter Stirling, is greater now than
when it was first published.

TRANSvAAL RAILROADS.

It is estimated that at least 800 miles of railway will be laid during the next few years in the Transvaal, and rail- way contract in the Transvaal is said to be well worth trying for. The con- tract is usually given to a burgher. who turns it over to third party flor a consideration" and parties desiring to secure contracts should by all means be represented on the ground. The temper of the Boers has undergone a notable change as regards railroads which they so bitterly opposed a few years ago, that 1t was needful to in- troduce the first almost by stealth under the name of "tramway," in or der to disarm their prejudice against all Uttlander innovations, and the de- struction of their OK teams by the rin- derpest having deprived them of all means of transport, they are said to be ready to welcome the railroads whose construction is warmly recommended by President Kruger. The Volksraad has already passed a bill for the con- struction of a line from Machadodorp to Ermelo. a distance of seventy miles, which will open up rich coal fields, and is considering other projects. The Gov ernment guarantees 315 per cent inter- est on the capital, receiving in return 50 per cent of the surplus profits after deducting the interest. AS the coun- try is opened up there will be an inn mense demand for agricultural imple- ments, a portion of which will be pur- chased with the ,s750, 900 recently loaned by the Government to the poorer Boers, In order to enable them to work their farms to better advantage.

Fire in the Basement Put Out by a Quick
 Policeman.
Electric Wires Set the Wood Afire After the Pupils
 Had Left.
The Second Blaze of the Kind Within aweek-Building May Be
 Removed.

The Lincoln School building on Fifth street near Market narrowly escaped destruction by fire yesterday, and but for the prompt action of Officer Mimi han of the police force might have been burned to the ground.
 The policeman was patrolling his beat when he discovered smoke issuing from the windows of the basement, in which are situated a number Of class rooms. Hastily summoning passing citizen he groped his way through the smoke and by the use of buckets of wa ter obtained from a faucet in the rear yard extinguished the flames that were already licking their way up the wood work toward the first floor.
 After the danger was over 1t was found that the fire came from the same cause as that which threatened the to- tai destruction of the Columbia Thea ter on the evening previous. It started where the electric wires that furnished the light for the building entered the woodwork and but for the prompt ac- tion of the policeman Tn attacking the flames might have ended in a disas- trous confiagration as the building ad- joins the frame structures comprising the Lincoln School property, extending from Fifth street to the Emporium.
 The damage from fire will be small owing to the fact that it was discov- cred before it had made any great headway. This is the second fire that has occurred in school buildings within the past ten days, the Bedding School on Pine street narrowly escaping de- struction on Sunday last and only be- ing saved by the prompt action of the employees of the Lurline Baths.
 It has been the intention of the Board of Education for some time past to dis pose of the Lincoln School grounds aD1 buildings because of the fact that this location is considered too valuable for school purposes, and the danger that threatened the school may hasten the consummation of the project

SHARKEY AND JEFFRIES.
Tbe Puqilists Have Quit Training and Are Now Epjoying
 Themselves

The National Club has little hope of pulling off the Sharkey and Jeffries twenty-round contest this month. but the directors expect to hear favorably from the health and police committee Of the Board of Supervisors next month.
 Possibly in February the sailor pug Hist and the heavy weight champion of Southern California will decide, in this city. the mooted question of suprem- acy.
 Jeffries will leave this city to-mor- row for three days outing on the marshes of Sonoma with Charles Eek ert, Billy Delaney and Al Smith. They Will be guests of a shooting club which has leased several acres of marsh land Tor duck-shooting purposes within easy distance of Burdell's station.
 Jenries is very fond of duck shoot ing and as he is said to be an expert with the gun his friends expect to re- ceive some nice mallard and canvas pack duck on his return from the happy hunting grounds.
 Last evening Sharkey visited Hay wards and boxed six rounds with Billy

A SOUVENIR OFFER FROM
THE ALLURING BAIT THAT CAUGHT MANY FISHES

gallery that has no existence except on a small piece of cardboard about three inches long and two broad. In his line this particular member of the species faker forms the triple distilled essence of success. He is simply a daisy" and has left train of mourners that could assemble in Indian file and extend from Valencia street to the ferry.
 Several days ago a man canvassed the city for this spurious gallery. He did his work well. North Beach suf- fered from his ministrations as acutely as did the Mission and Butchertown. It is source of sorrow to the authori- ties that the man cannot be accurately described. but that is the way of it. He was Cily-all the victims freely admit that-but none of them remember whether he is particularly old or young, whether his mustache was black or sandy or what was the exact cut or color of the clothes he wore. A sort of hypnotic glamor resulted from the shrewd hunko mans visits that has left everybody in a bewildered condi- tion on the descriptive part.
 With him this person carried a good ly stock Of cards. At least, he always did in the mornings, but when he hied him homeward in the evening, wher- ever his rlace of abode may be, his stock was wonderfully diminished-at others expense. This is the way the cards read:
 A souvenir offer from Hauzmer's new ground floor gallery, 1854 Market street. To the holder of this order I will give one dozen my best carbon finished cabinet photos, size 7x9inches, free of charge. Hairdressers and costumes at your dis posal. 1 do this to introduce my high art work. l guarantee to fill this order free. Pay agent only 9 cents for this order. This order is good at any time.
 It wasn't long after the scheme had been in operation until some of "Hauz- mer's" dupes began to make their ap- pearance at 1854 Market street to get the value of their money. It came by way of exchange and in the nature of experience. The place was vacant and had been for about five months. as they all found by inquiry in the neighbor- hood. Prior to that time it had been occupied by hardware dealer.
 When the female contingent of the dupe division learned this fact there was wailing from some and discreet silence from those naturally of a cool dispo- sition. But most of the male contin- gent brought into use all the naughty words they had ever learned while ex- pressing disapprobation of the way the local telephone service Is conducted.
 Then came a strong desire to extend the acquaintance with Mir. "HauZmer that had started off so unhappily-for all but the latter. Recourse to the directory discovered the fact that "Hauzmer"-so far as the name Is concerned-is myth. This was. how ever, only another sample of his high art work
 If the gentleman is nabbed. and there are several angry men and women hot on his trail, his "art work" will have to be of the superlative degree in order to escape retribution. A quarter of a dollar is not a large sum to lose, but some people take decided effense at being fooled.

The meeting was held to look over Supervisor Lack mans ordinance which is aimed to reg ulate the percentage of carbonic mon oxide in Illuminating gas.
