Whitman:
KNOW A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN
I know a beautiful woman;
But she's not of sweet sixteen,
Full seventy winters have come and gone
The Now and the Then between.
Yet every year hath added
A something so fair and true,
That to me she's the sweetest woman
| think that l ever knew.
Her eye may be DINNER growing,
1t hath lost the glance OF youth,
But up from the inner fountains
1t is flashing love and truth;
Her cheeks have not all the FRESHNESS
OF the rosebud's glowing red,
The purity Of the lily,
Full blown has come in its steao.
All over her face of beauty
There are lines of days gone by
OF holy loves and earnest hopes
They are lovelier far than dlmpleS,
For l know that each was given
To mark the years OF dutlful HE
That have fitted her for heaven
l never think of that woman
But my heart throbs high with love,
In the blissful realms above?"
| can scarcely in my dreaming
See her face more fair and bright,
She seems to me rcN, with her radiant
A spirit of love and light.
The poet may sing his praises ..
OF the glow of sweet sixteen
But there's holier beauty
OF seventy now l ween;
For the girlish face that's nodded
BY true and loving heart,
Will brighten as the heart throbs on,

Father McKinnon is with us, and
think he is one of the best men living,
and so do the rest of the boys. Only
for him I would have been shot like a
rat He comes to see the boys all the
time. He was the first man who got
into Manila and he was fired on by
the Spanish, but that did not stop him.

GEN. WILSON ROBBED.
Burglars Visit Residence of the
Chief of Engineera.

Saturday night between 8 and O'Clock
burglars called at the house of Gen. John
NJ. Wilson, chief of engineers, U. s. A, and
carried off about 800 worth of valuables.
Some of the articles taken belonged to Mrs
Wilson, while others were the property Of
her sisters and were abstracted from her
room A Loyal Legion medal belonging to
Gen. Wilson was also stolen. From the
dining room the burglars took some silver
ware.
An entrance was effected by sliding a
screen from rear window. There was no
trouble and little exertion necessary to ac-
complish this, and the burglars had an easy
time but were probably frightened off be-
fore they could get together a large amount
of property.
Gen. Wilson left home about o'clock in
the evening and went out to visit friends
When he returned home, about O'clock he
found a servant seated on the front steps,
Going in the house, he soon discovered
what had taken place during his absence
Bureau drawers had been ransacked and
the dining room had been visited. A jimmy
was used by the burglars.
Mrs. Wilson is out of the city and until
she returns, it is said, the exact extent of
the loss cannot be ascertained. Detective
Parham and Precinct Detective McGlue are
working on the case.

MT. PLEASANT r.. r. FACILITIES.
Citizens AnxiOusly Waiting for Leg IL
lation and Extensions.

lation and Extensions.
The citizens of Mt. Pleasant are very
much disturbed over the prospect of OBJ
tanning no additional railroad facilities for
their section during this section of Con-
gress. They have carefully followed and
fostered the bills of both the Capital Trac-
ton and Metropolitan railroads, which by
proposed extensions offered relief to that
section.
When the Metropolitan bill passed the
House the citizens were led to believe that
the Senate would be asked to take action
forthwith in order that the extension
might be Immediately built. But up to the
present time the inactivity on the part Of
the Senate has led many of the citizens to
believe that the Metropolitan company it
self is obstructing the way, not wishing at
this time to incur the additional expense
of the proposed extension, and only press
ing the bill in the first instance to offset
the bill of the Capital Traction Company.
No other subject has caused such an in
tense feeling among the citizens of Mt.
Pleasant this railroad extension. For
many years they have been deprived of
facilities which they feel should have been
provided long ago, and the subject is daily
discussed by them in a spirit of increasing
bitterness. 1t has formed the topic of more
than one discussion in the citizens associa-
tion there, and some drastic measures are
now contemplated to compel the railroad to
show its hand.
Messrs. Somerville, Chaplin Brown, Wal
bridge and others who have been working
for the passage of the Metropolitan bill
are very earnest in the matter, and they
say If the bill should now fail the railroad
