Ships at Sea.

Written by Robert Barry Coffin, Barr
Gray" once popular New York litters
teur and journalist, who died in 1886, age
60.
l have ships that went to sea,
More than fifty years ago;
None have yet come home to me,
But are sailing to and fro.
/ have seen them in my sleep,
Plunging through the shoreless deep,
With tattered sails and battered hulls.
While around them screamed the gulls,
Flying low. flying low.
I have wondered why they stayed
FHpm me, sailing round the world;
And I've said, I'm half afraid
That their sails will ne'er be furled."
Great the treasures that they hold,
Silks, and plumes, and bars of gold;
While the spices that they bear
Fill with fragrance all the air.
AS they sail. as they sail.
All! each sailor in the port
Knows that l have ships at sea
OF the winds and waves the sport,
And the sailors pity me.
Oft they come and with me walk,
Cheering me on with hopeful talk,
Till I put my fears aside.
And contented watch the tide
Rise and fall, rise and fall.
I have waited on the piers.
Gazing for them down the bay,
Days and nights for many years,
Till / turned heart-sick away.
But the pilots, when they land
Stop and take me by the hand,
Saying: you will live to see
Your proud vessels come from sea.
One and all, one and ALL"
So I never quite despair,
Nor let hope or courage fail;
And some day when skies are fair,
Up the bay my ships will sail.
I shall buy then all l need
Prints to look at, books to read,
Horses, wines, and works of art
Everything except heart
That is lost, that is lost.
Once when I was pure and young,
Richer. too, than l am now,
Ere a cloud was DER me flung,
Or wrinkle creased my brow,
There was one whose heart was mine;
But she's something now divine,
And though come my ships from sea,
They can bring no heart to me
Evermore, evermore.

BOURBON, Ind, Jan. 19.-Rev. Nh.
Akin, pastor Of the flock Of Bethel

theme, "lHis Satanic Majesty" He is

head and switching tail, ambled up the
aisle, blowing smoke from its nostrils
and believing, II am tho devil and l
want all Of you"
The audience became panic stricken.
Men, women and children were hurled
to the floor and trampled upon in the
mad rush for the door. In the con.
fusion the stove was upset and the
building caught fire. Before the horri.
fed members regained their senses the
tire mad made such Roadway hat ali

made a speech in the senate reviewing

ment that President Mckinley was sim

fort for international blmetalllsm and
that there was still a prospect Of yet ac-
comprising something in that line.
Wolcott, however, gave out that he him
self would resign from the commission If
continued. He took occasion also to
severely roast Secretary Gage for his
gold standard standard tendencies, his
proposed bill and bis perfidy to the in

CHICAGO, Jan. lathe interstate
joint convention of bituminous coal
miners and operators are now prepared
to do business in u m%ethodical manner.
The state delegations had teen thor
oughly organized and scale committees
had been named. The miners made no
attempt to conceal the fact that what
they want is al advance throughout
the field Of 10 cents per ton. The oper.
ators are far from agreeing with the
operatives on this point and say a four
cent advance is about what may be ex.
pected. The morning session was Of
only a half hours duration.
The scale committee went into secret
conference Immediately after recess
Sweet of Illinois was elected chairman,
and William Warner Of Pennsylvania
secretary Of the meeting.
No material progress was anticipated
by the committeeman and none was
accomplished. The general situation
in the coal trade was discussed at
length by both miners and operators.
Hon. H. L. Chapman Of Ohio, who is
member Of the committee for operators.
said:
1.-The situation is an extremely COM
plicated Il and will require thorough
discussion, which will probably con.
tinue several days. Owing to the large
attendance at the convention it was
deemed in%expedient to enter upon a
discussion Of the wage scale in open
session. Such proceeding would pre-
cipitate endless discussion, and be en-

The rue inwar1ness of the BrOckway
hsld-up for confirmation as register OF
the Chamberlain land office has finally
come to light. II appears that Gravbill
the present incumbent Of the land office
received the position on the recon-
mendation of Senator Kyle four years
ago. but for some reason Graybil could
not endorse Kyle for reelection to the
senate. Kyle drew hard upon Graybill'
but the latter was inexorab,e and so
Kyle informed him when he went back
to Washington he should have Graybill
removed from office. For a year past
Kyle has been e~ndeavorlng to carry out
his threat as a matter Of spltework, but
the public lands communities of which
Mr.. Pettigrew is a member have thwart-
ed his designs. Gray bill has made a
good officer anc they do o wish to
~counteuance Kyle's efforts to put him
out as a matter of skite-work and will
hold up the confirmation of Brockway
until Graybills term expires, about six
weeks hence. The committee, Senator
Pettlgrew included. are all favorable to
Mr.. Brockway's confirmation when the
proper time COMES, but until then viii
prevent Mr.. Kyle's pretty scheme. Tha,
