FIVE AGES OF WOMEN.

Only prattling wee baby
Dancing on mammals knee.
A chubby and dimpled cherub,
Pretty as she could be.
Laughing and jumping and Growing,
Bubbling with innocent mirth.
Mamma just thinks her treasure
The darlingest thing on earth.
Only a laughing schoolgirl,
Fair as a budding rose,
Gazing with tender chances
On her young would-be beaux.
Never a cloud above her,
Never a care has She
No one could help but love her
In her simplicity.
Only Il fair young lady,
Proud as a queen of old.
Lovers who seek her favors
Meet with but chances cold.
Naught but prince can WOO her.
A prince with an honored name;
Love is to her but folly,
The dream of her life is fame,
Only serious woman,
Charms slowly fading away.
Her prince never came to seek her
Her head is threatened with gray.
Longing for love that's denied her,
Praying for somone to WOO.
Gone are her queenly ambitions
Any old fellow will do.
Only a maiden of fifty.
Skillfully spreading her net.
Still there is hope in her bosom
That some one may gobble her yet.
Paints and cosmetics and powders
And clad i'm the briefest of dress,
When seen on her wheel at a distant
You'd think her but twenty, or less.

Said the corn 10 the lilies:
Press not near my feet,
You axe only idlers,
Neither corn nor wheat.
Does one earn a living
Just by being sweet
NauCht answered the lilies,
Neither yea nor nay.
Only they grew sweeter
All the livelong day.
And at last the Teacher
Glanced To come that way.
While his tired disciples
Rested at his feet
And the proud corn rustled
Bidding them TO cat
Children" said the Teacher.
The life is more than meat.
Consider the lilies.
How beautiful they grow
Never king had such glory.
Yet no toll they know.
on, happy were the lilies
That he loved them so,

ANGLO-AMERICAN LEAGUE.
The Refusal of Sir Edward Clark to Be-
 come Member.

London, Oct. 7.--Sir Edward Clarke. the former solicitor general, in a letter which he has written declining an in- Vitation to support the Plymouth branch of the Anglo-American league. says: With all respect to the distin- gu1shed members of the general com mittee, think that such an organiza- tion is unnecessary and not unlikely to be mischievous. The fussy activity of a society representing one particular view of foreign affairs is very seldom of public benefit. I have always labor ed to promote the most friendly rela- tions between Great Britain and the United States, but we can all do much to secure peace between the two coun- tries and friendly rivalry by promoting the civilization of the world without binding ourselves to society for whose action we should be responsible, though we could not control 1t.
 Great Britain and the United States have no doubt many ties of sympathy, Rets SAASJ eAA Y IWo AdIlUil6 GtuQ uOI one. They must often have divergent inter- ests, and I prefer to be unshackled by membership in a society which binds itself to constant cooperation with the United States government Many have probably joined simply desiring to pro- mote better understanding and there- by diminish the probability of a con- f1ict. But if this is the object I think that an Anglo-German, Anglo French and Anglo -Russion league are much more needed. Friendly relations be- tween ourselves and the European na- tions are quite as important as with the United States, and with them we have not the sentiment of kinship which in the case of the United States goes far to allay suspicion, soothe jealousies and prevent the peace of the world from being imperilled by an controversies over trif1ing question"

FIRE COMMISSIONERS sTIIL TALK
And the Department Is Without
 SuperintenGenf,

Superintendent.
 The fire commissioners held an ad- journed meeting last night and did nothing. They talked, it is true, talked of the appointments which are to be made in the department, but at the close of the session, having accomplish ed nothing, and evidently not desiring the public to know this, they voted to instruct the clerk to give out no infor- mation concerning the session, which was executive. It was stated on rela- ble authority last night that meeting of Commissioners Cunningham, Veil and Anes was held during the week at the office of the latter and at his invi- tation the endeavor to come to an un- derstanding as to the appointments. It was also said that at that meeting cer- tain promises were made and that when these promises were not fulfilled last night accusations of failure to keep them were passed, and that at one time the meeting threatened to
 
 mon talk last night that Commissioner Kegelmeyer felt that he had been left out in the cold in not being invited to the conference in MT. Ames' office.
 The first part of last nights meeting was devoted to consideration of the estimates of the department for next year, but this occupied but short time and then the matter of appointments came up. Presiden Ames tried hard to bring the board to elect superinten- dent, but all his efforts were of no avail. Commissioner Well gave notice that he would withdraw his notice of a motion for suspension of the rules at the next regular meeting. He said that in lieu of this he would like to have sections and g of the old rules re- established for the appointments now due. This old rule required that all ap- pointments should require the vote of four members instead of three, as un- der the new rules.
 A wordy contest was waged by the commissioners until about 11:15 when , they adjourned until Wednesday night next, but during that time the gratifi- cation of the personal wishes of no members of the board was agreed upon and the fire department of New Haven on that account still remains without a chief.
 The board voted to send the president of the board and Acting Chief Fancher IS delegates from the New Haven Fire department to attend the twenty-sixth annual convention of fire engineers to be held in St. Louis soon.N

man James E. Martin.
 The democratic town committee met last night in room "A in the Insurance building to arrange for the work of the campaign now beginning. James B. Martin, chairman of the town commit tee, asked to be relieved of the duties of that position and rendered his resig- nation saying that his business would not permit his devoting so much time to the work of the position. James E. Kelleher addressed the meeting saying that MT. Martin, who was thoroughly conversant with the political situation, must not be allowed to resign, and the request being put to vote it was voted unanimously on motion of MT. Fox not to accept the resignation. MT Martin, then in consideration of the wishes of all the members of the com 1nittee, will continue as chairman.
 It was voted that a campaign com- nlittee be appointed to consist, besides the town committee, of three members from each ward and to be appointed by the members of the town committee from the various wards and approved by the chairman.

SERVANT POISONED CHILD. A Bridgeport Domestic's Revenge After
 Being Discharged.

Bridgeport, Oct. 1.-The three-year- old female child of Joseph Seiglar, a wealthy Hungarian resident of this city, died at a late hour tonight from being maliciously poisoned by a dis charged servant girl. The girl up to midnight had managed to escape arrest, though the entire police department were on the lookout. The girl, who is also Hungarian, had been employed in the Seiglar household for nearly two years, but was told this afternoon that her services would not be needed after the end of the week. Soon afterwards the domestic was noticed going upstairs with the three-year-old child of Mr. and Mrs. Seiglar. About o'clock to- night MT. Seiglar's mother remarked about the absence of the child, and on investigation the little one was found lying unconscious in cradle in the ser- want girls room and it was at once ap- parent that the child had been poison ed by paris green. The child died shortly before 12 o'clock tonight

Situation i'm Havana.

Havana, Oct. 1.-The site selected for the camp of the American troops of occupation is situation east of Morro Castle, between Cabanas and Cojimar, on bluff overlooking the sea. This spot is exceedingly cool and healthful. An important decree of the civil gover- nor was published to-day in an order to the mayor to no longer count upon the slaughter-house income, which ex- ceeds $2,0O0 a day and which, though belonging to the Spanish bank, as col lateral for loans, had been by decree of June 4, made over to the municipal authorities to relieve the urgent needs of the population. The decree of to- day returns this income to the rightful owner, the Spanish bank, thus depriv- ing the municipality of it's richest source of income.
 The civil governor is at swords points with the municipal authorities. The former, few days ago. ordered the city to be divided into zones, for the purpose of increasing the tariff of cab fares for the benefit of the cab com- panies and livery stables simultan- eously The mayor, in whose province such affairs belong, published an open disapproval of the regulation, warning the public against paying the new rates and advising the people to pay only the old fares, in which they would be protected by the law. Therefore the governor withdrew and revoked to-day the order governing the cab regula- tions. The mayor is standing his ground resolutely in the interests of public well fare and public fleeing is much exer- cised over the civil governors new at titude as, heretofore, he has always ap- peared as a strong advocate of the peoples rights and benefits.

MRS. T,KINLEY SHOCKED.
News of Murder Received at White
 House During Reception.

House During Reception.
 Washington, Oct. 1.-The news of the
 murder of Mrs. McKinleys brother was received at the White house just as the
 reception to the Episcopaian council
 in session here was about to close.
 Mrs. Mckinley was receiving with the
 president during the evening and was
 in her usual spirits. The news of her
 brothers death was a great shock to
 her. Private dispatches were received
 at the White house from members of the family in Canton in regard to the tragedy. They were very brief, how ever, and contained very little if any additional information to that in the press dispatches The president made an effort to secure further facts over the long distance telephone but this was working so unsatisfactory that there was little reward for his efforts.
 Mrs. Mckinley expressed wish to at tend the funeral and accordingly hur- r1ed arrangements were made whereby she will start for Canton shortly after [ o'clock tomorrow night. The pres- ident, Mrs. McKinley's sister, Mrs
 Barber who was at the reception also tonight, the latter's son and several
 others will accompany her. The word
 received here is that the funeral will be held on Monday. The unfortunate event will not interfere with the presi- dents trip to the Omaha exposition, though he will not be able to leave here with the party as originally intended Instead he will join it in Canton the night after the funeral It is not yet determined whether Mrs. Mckinley will accompany the president to Omaha, l this depending entirely on her wishes in | the matter.

have shipped them to her mothers home at Hamilton. Since her goods have gone she has been living at the rooms of Mrs. Jake Oberlin, in the same house. She left the house about 9 o'clock this morning and did not re- turn. While the officers were talking to Mrs. Oberlin tonight, Mrs. George was seen coming across a lot nearby. As she attempted to go around the house and get in the back way she was arrested and brought to police headquarters. When she was brought into the station she seemed to be self possessed. She was given chair. Prosecuting Attorney Pomerent, who was present, pulled his chair in front of her and said: Mrs. George, where were you at about o'clock?"
 She answered in a perfectly calm and quiet tone, Pardon me, sir; I will talk when the proper time comes."
 Did you go out on the street cars about that time?" There was no an- swer.
 I will say to you, Mrs. George" said the prosecuting attorney, that if you had nothing to do with this we will not detain you a moment
 There was no answer and the prose- cutor said: Do you know why the officers brought you here?" No answer.
 "Do you know that MT. Saxton is dead?"
 There was no answer to this or other questions and Mrs. George was taken into the Wonlan's department and an examination was made. Nothing was found on her. The skin of her hands was scraped and will be analysed to see whether there is any trace of gum powder on them. She was then locked up to await hearing
 It is common talk that Mrs. George made frequent threats to take Saxtons S life. Many of these threats are said to have been sent through the mails and the federal grand jury sitting in Cleveland last fall indicted her for al- legged improper use of the mails Mrs George gave bond and the indictment, so far as Is known here, is still alive Sample c. George is now reported to have been married to a second wife for more than year. He is said to have married in Wheeling Miss Lucie Gra- ham of Alliance and the marriage was kept secret until after the settlement with Saxton. As soon as George got his damage money from Saxton he an- nounced his second marriage. Mrs. George claims Saxton deceived her and deserted her for another.

New York, Oct. 7.-"Mysterious" Bill ly Smith of this city is still the cham pion welterweight pugilist. He met Charles McKeever of Philadelphia at the Lenox Athletic club tonight in a 25-round bout and although McKeever stayed the full limit the bout was one sided and all in Smiths favor. Mo Keever was heralded as the most dan gerous proposition which Smith had ever tackled, but his showing was a great disappointment, as he was at no time capable of making an impression on Smith who knocked him off his feet in the 23 and 25th rounds.

Typhoid fever, contracted while making tour through the southern camps, as agent of the Massachusetts Volunteer Aid associa- tion was the immediate cause of hls death. The family, who have been watching constantly at his bedside, ever since he was taken i'll, felt up to this afternoon that he would recover, but about 8 o'clock his pulse and tenn perature took a sudden rise and he com- menced to fail rapidly. The end came two hours later. At the bedside was his wife, formerly Miss Mary Buttrick of this town, her brother, Stedman Buttriel, and pr. George Tarbell of Boston. At late hour tonight no arrangements for the funeral had been made. His death has east a gloom over the entire town this evening" as he was widely known and greatly loved.
 Hon. Sherman Hoar was born in Con- cord, Mass, July 30, 1860, His father was Judge Ebenezer Redwood Hoar and his mother Caroline Brooks, both of Concord. He attended the public schools of Concord, graduating from them and preparing for college at Phillips Exeter. He entered Harvard and in 1882 graduated with honors. After tow years in the Harvard law school he was admitted to the Middle sex bar in 1885. He began his practice in Waltham, Mass, and two years later entered the law firm of Storey, Thorn dike & Hoar, Boston. He became ac- lively engaged in politics in 1890 and was that year nominated and elected to congress by the democrats of the Fifth district. At the expiration of his term at Washington he was appointed district attorney for the Boston district by President Cleveland and while in that office conducted the first Bram murder trial Outside of his own town

Hoar | married Miss Mary Buttrick,, also of Concord, by whom he had another son | and daughter. He was captain of the local military company from 1884 to | 1885 and has always kept his interest in | the company.

He visited all the-hospitals through the south and took great interest in all | Massachusetts men wherever he found them. It is probable that while in the | hospital at Montauk in the interests of 1 the association, he contracted typhoid fever which was the direct cause of | his death.
