With a faith that refuses to forget.
Tie happier light of summer days.
The smoother path In the bygoue

Until discomfort Is lost in praise!
Praise to the Giver Of Good that yet
The great sun smiles though our eyes

Beside the rough stone grows the

OF love and gladness how much re-
mains
When you count the Losses asainai
the gains,
And the bliss Of being outweighs u
pains.
A noble son, who with generous heart
Has sworn to take his oountzy's par,

though he and Miss Bemis were to be

to be infatuated with Miss Weitzell and
she with him. There was a quarrel be-
tween the man and Miss Bemis, and
then his attentions TO Miss Weitzell be-
came constant s.
Their engagement was announced a
few days ago. fe5

NO TRACE OF KEARNEY.
1t Is Thought His Aunt Aided Him


New York March 15.-No trace has been
obtained of John Watts Kearney jr.,
grandson of Gen. Phil Kearney. who es-
capped Sunday night from the BroOkside
Sanitarium, in Plainffeld, n. j.. where he
had been committed for inebriety by the
Chancery court. 1t was discovered yes
terday that the young mans aunt, the
Marquise de KERNEL, who opposed his
incarceration, spent several days in Plain
field last week She declared. it is said.
her intention of obtaining his release, if
necessary by bribing some one in the EN-
ploy of the sanitarium, and said she
would do this through an out-of-town de-
tective.
DR.. Cooley. proprietor of the institution,
said yesterday the search for young
Kearney was being continued, but it was
the opinion of the doctor Kearney had
left the State. DR. Cooley throws the
blame for Kearney's escape on Frederick
Upton, an attendant. DR.. Cooley says
that Upton was negligent in leaving
Kearney in the grounds and giving him
an opportunity to get away.
The police are also on the lookout for
young Kearney. 1t is believed that he
will eventually turn up in Kentucky, in
which State he claimed a residence dur
ing the hearing. 1t is not believed he can
be brought back from Kentucky should
he be found there. for he has not com
mitted any crime against the laws of the
State of New Jersey.

CLOSER RELATIONS DESIRED.
Liberals Fear of French and Ger
man Encr chments

London, March l5.-I our representa-
tive had an interview today with the
Rev Mr. Hartzeli. Methodist Episcopal
Bishop of Africa, who arrived here yes
terday from Liberia. He left New York
in December, 1896 and has since travelled
5000 miles in East and South Africa. sta
tioning eighty-fivs missionaries. Mrs.
Hartzell accompanied her husband. Both
are well and they expect to sail for New
York, March p. Bishop Hartzell is ac-
credited by President Colman, of Liberia,
as confidential emissary to Lord Sails
bury and President Mckinley, to whom
he bears letters intrusted to him on the
eve of his departure from MonroVia. The
gist of these letters is a request for clos
er relations with Great Britain and the
United States to which countries Presi-
dent Colman appeals to insure the indie
pendeRce and development of the Coun-
try. 1t is understood that this step is
prompted by fear of French and German
encroachments threatening the integrity
of the Republic There is great rivalry
between Paris and Berlin to obtain as
tendency in Liberia. In the course of the
interview Bishop HartZell related an Incl
dent that occurred a few days prior to
his departure He said that a German
subject at Cape Palmas recently had
dispute with natives, who destroyed part
of his coffee plantation. A German gun

hundred German trained native marines
on board. The governor demanded $4,000
indemnity for the German and the pun
ishment of the offenders in forty EIGHT
hours, threatening that if this reparation
was not made to land marines to compel
compliance with his demands. President
Colman succeeded in convincing the gov
ernor that the affair could be adjusted in
the Liberian courts. The matter IS now
the subject of negotiations with Berlin
but the special interest in the affair and
what more than ever determined Presl-
dent Colman to commission Bishop Hart
Zell as confidential emissary was the fact
that concurrently with the ultimatum the
German governor submitted a carefully
drafted treaty providing for a German
protectOrate over Liberia, Offering If the
treaty were approved, to withdraw the

which Liberia desires the United States
and Great Britain to exert their influence

LADIES TALK ABOUT FOOD.
Interesting Meeting at the Home
of Mrs. Kyle.

of Mrs. Kyle.
The large attendance OF ladies at the
meeting at the home of Mrs Kyle yester-
day was strong proof of the interest felt
in the subject under discussion-the right
kind of food.
Mrs Kyle president of the National Do
nestle Science Association introduced
Miss Emma c. Sickles Chairman of the
Committee on Domestic Science of the
National Farmers Congress.
Miss Sickles said in part that reports
of poverty. sickness, starvation and death
were filling the public mind 1t was the
engrossing subject of the home. The
President, the Congress. the press, the
pulpit and the people generally were talk
ing of Cuba. Other matters must yield as
of secondary interest, and yet there was a
fault in the family circle which had caus-
ed more poverty. more i'll health, more
death than war, and that is Ignorance of
what to eat and how to prepare it.
Few people know why they eat, what
purposes the food accomplishes and what
foods to eat for different results. She gave
a brief outline of the different objects OF
food and the kinds of food to eat
In the presence of the audience Miss
Sickles prepared salad dressing and made
a Waldorf salad. She also made biscuit
from blended corn and wheat flour, eX-
planning the properties and effects of the
materials,
Miss Emma S. Jacobs, superintendent of
the Washington Cooking School, was the
next speaker. and told how, from a small
| beginning, and with limited means, the
cooking schools of Washington have be-
come among the most successful in any
| city in the United States, until now twen-
| ty-five hundred girls receive instruction
| in cooking each year. She extended to all
| a cordial invitation to visit the schools
| and learn their aim and methods.
| Mrs. Thompson, representing Mrs.
| Woodbury., of the Mission Cooking School,
| gave an account of the great work done
| through that school, and reviewed Mrs.
| Woodbury's success as a pioneer and as
the promoter of domestic science, not only
| in Washington, but in schools in other
| cities, showing that if so much could be
| accomplished with the materials available
| there must be but one cause for the ig-
norance and domestic ills which exist, and
| that is Indifference and negligence on the
part of those who control public appro-
| priations and legislation

ABLE COLLEGE DEBATE.
Annexation of Hawaii Discussed
by Gonzaga Students.

Annexation of Hawaii Discussed
by Gonzaga Students.
The question of annexation of Hawaii
was interestingly discussed last evening
by the members of the Phocion Society
of Gonzaga College at their annual prize
debate. which was held in the college
auditorium. The public debates by the
members of any of the Gonzaga societies
are always most enjoyable. and in spite
of the very unfavorable weather the spa
cious auditorium was filed to it's utmost
capacity.
The affirmative side of the question was
presented by Messrs. James f. Marley,
'9S and George A. Lansdale, SO, while
the negative of the proposition was sus-
tanned by Messrs. Henry a. Haggerty,
So and c. Hugh Duffy, 90.
The judges. who sat about the center
of the hall with the Rev. Cornelius Gil
| lipsie, S j., the president of the college,
were Hon. Joseph McKenna, associate
justice of the Supreme Court; Hon. w. C.
Robinson. Ii. D.. Catholic University of
America; Hon. Dominic I. Murphy, ex-
Commissioner of Pensions.
On the stage were the debaters and
Mr.. j. Vincent Coughlan, the vice-presi-
| dent of the Phocion Society. who briefly
presented the subject for discussion to
| the audience.
The debate was opened for the affirm
| alive by Mr.. Marley, who made clear
| and forcible argument in favor of an
! neXation. He contended that the Consti-
| tuition clearly gave the power to annex
any territory which the Government
| might choose provided the residents of
| the colony did not interpose objection
| In support of this he cited the annexation
| of Florida, Louisiana, Texas, New Mex
| leo. California and Alaska.
| Mr.. Haggerty for the negative, con-
| tended that the only safe course for the
| United States to pursue was not to an
| mex Hawaii II is all nonsense, he said,
| for anyone to imagine that if this Gov
| eminent did not take Hawaii under her
wing that England or some other coun-
| try would. No nation under the sun he
| said would dare attempt such a thing.
Messrs. Lansdale, for the affirmative,
| and Duffy. for the negative, also made
strong arguments in support of their sides
| of the question.
| The judges rendered their decision to
the Rev. Father Gillipsie who will an
nounce it on the evening of the college
| commencement in April.

''the Brooklyn Bridge will never be

1t is far too important to the public to
pass into the control of outsiders.
'AH this talk of a 10000 deficit is the
sheerest nonsense. We are not losing
much at present. When the elevated
railroads get their ears under operation
we will know what can be realized from
tolls. Then some adjustment will be
made, SO that there will be no deficit"
