A CHRISTMAS SONG.
By Mile. Augusta Holmes

Three angels tonight came down
To bring me gifts most fair.
One of them had rosy crown,
Another a censor rare,
And the third had in his hand
A poisoning robe for me
With pearls and gold, and jessamine,
AS wears our Lady Marie.
"Christmas Christmasl
AS earthward we pass
We would bring thy gift most dear
For the dear God above
Is sad in His love,
HIS little child's signs to hear.
Woudst thou this censor of gold most
fine?
or a silver collar engravn'.
Woudst thou this glorious robe for thine
or this rosy crown from heaven.
Wouldst thou the fruits of Paradise,
or wheat from heavenly store?
In swaddling clothes wouldst Jesus see.
AS the shepherds saw Him of yore"
Christmasl Christmas
To heaven swift pass!--
My beautiful angels; fly
Ask the dear God above
To bless with His dove
The one for whom I Sigh,
Translated from the Noel" OF Augusta

Examining the Brow.
New York, Dec. 23-"Irs ali very well
for girl to plume herself upon her pretty
eyebrows" said an expert physiognomist
the other day: But I who nave been
studying character for years have perhaps
a rather different point of view. Eye
brows show character, and the wise man
will take note of them when choosing his
friends. Eyebrows, for instance, that are
wide apart denote a, frank. generous, IN
suspicious and impulsive nature. When
they meet one may be pretty sure that
their owners temperament is ardent but
jealous and suspicious. Eyebrows which
are elevated at starting and continue in
long sweeping lines over the eyes with
downward tendency indicate artistic feel

NEARING THE CRISIS.
Foreign Ministers at Picking Hold an
Emergency Meeting.

London, Oct. ga special dispatch
from Shanghai says that kilograms from
Picking have been detained two days.
The last telegram received, according
to this dispatch, announced that the
foreign ministers had held an emer-
gene, meeting. The German warship
at Kiau Chou. it also stated. had start
ed hurriedly for Taku the day before.
Marquis Ito, who. it is understood,
is visiting China, for the purpose of
arranging an offensive and defensive
alliance between China and Japan, has
left Tien-Tsin for Shanghai, owing to
the impossibility of prosecuting nego-
tiations during the crisis.
The foreign ministers, it is stated,
forbade any foreign residents going to
Picking. 1t is expected that Sir Claude
Macdonald, the British minister,
shall surrender Kang Yu Wei.
Yamantsu, leader of the rebellion,
in the SEE Chuen province, has issued
proclamation ordering the extermina-
ton of all foreigners.

Madrid Worried.

Madsd, Oct. 5.-The reported inten-

to retain the whole of the Philippines
has created almost state of stupefac-
tion here, and it is semi-otficially an
nounced that the Spanish government
has resolved to vigorously combat any
sction which. it is claimed, the terms
of the peace protocol preclude. Cen
eral Rios, governor of the Visayas
islands, reports to the government an

FATAL FOREST FIRES.
Several Lives Were Lost In Wisconsin
Woods.

Cumberland. Wis, Oct. 5.-The
bodies of man and boy were found
today in the woods between Amena and
Poskin Lake. burned beyond recogni-
ton. Several persons are still missing.
Peter Ecklund, who was seriously
burned by forest fires. was brought to
this city today in a critical condition,
and it is thought he cannot live. A
4-year-old daughter of Rudolph Miller,
and the 7-year-old son of Nels Swanson
were found in the woods, Il miles
northeast of Almena, so badly burned
that they cannot recover.
Mrs. Frank Heinricbmeier, at Poskin
Lake, died this morning, as a result of
fright and exhaution in fighting fires.
Relief rooms were opened today, and
relief is being extended to starving
families. The fire is still roaring on
one side of this city. but the greatest
danger is believed to be over. Near
the town of Johnston. Polk county,
eight miles distant heavy loss of farm
property is reported today, and fires
are still raging.

AMERICAN PORK.
Thousands of Tons Have Entered Ger
many without u Certificate.

Berlin, Oct. ga most important
revelation regarding American pork was
made by the German nment an
nouncement in the semi-oflical press
today, that it ha%received information
showing that American pork had en-
tered Germany without certificate.
The United States embassy confirms
the report that the discovery had been
made that thousands OF tons of Ameri-
can pork have been imported through
number of custom houses for years
past without certificates. The embassy
has requested the foreign Office to in
struct the custom house to insist in
every case upon certificate.
No American firm is implicated in
these transactions, which explain the
alleged discoveries of trichinae in
American pork. German dealers in
American pork offered in July last
reward of 1000 marks for case of
human trichinoss due to American
pork, and three months have passed
without anybody claiming the money.

THOUSANDS ARE SICK.
Critical Condition OF the Army II
Porto Rico.


Ponce, Porto Rico, Dot. 5.-It is the
well-grounded and almost unanimous
opinion of the medical staff of the
American army in Porto Rico that the
condition of the volunteer forces here
necessitates their immediate removal
north. Sickness is increasing, and has
been increasing during the past three
weeks at an alarming rate. Today the
sick report shows over 2.700 in hos
pitfalls or in quarters. out of a total COM
mand OF 1000 men; that is, over %
per cent of the troops are on the sick
list. This, however, does not mean
that there is an effective strength OF
1900 men. The soldiers discharged
from the hospitals as fit for duty are in
nine cases out of ten incapable of serv-
ice. and If ordered on duty are almost
invariably back in the hos pitfalls within
q few days.
The medical officers have found that
the convalescents do not, and seeming
ly cannot, recover their strength in
this climate. and for this reason they
are being sent north as rapidly as pos
sible, several hundred leaving every

the City.

Paris. Oct. 4.-The Dreyfus demon
stration organized by NJ. Presence, one
of the leaders OF the agitation, for this
afternoon, was prevented by the closing
of the Sale Wagram. M. Presence
and his friends tried to force an en-
trance, and an uproar resulted. The
police then interviewed and arrested NJ.

Aurore, and Deputy Mory, amid shouts
and counter-shouts of "Vive revision"
"Vive armeer' give ZolaP' and "A

persed. The persons taken into custody
were subsequently released.
Disorders. most of them In the yicin-
ity Of the offices of the Libre Parole,
occurred during the evening. Many
persons were slightly injured, though
sticks were the only weapons used.
Several arrests were made.
An ugly statement is made by the
Petite Republique to the effect that
Colonel Picquart, who had previously
taken exercise in the courthouse yard
OF the Jail, had not left his cell since
Thursday, when he was seized with
symptoms OF cerebral congestion, fol-
lowed by coma. There is no means,
however, of verifying the statement.
The disorders have created intense
alarm among the foreigners at the
hotels, and it is probable that an exo-
dus will occur, the guests fearing grave
developments.
The working class, so far, has held
aloof, but the leaders of the rival par
ties are doing their utmost to stir them
up. and it is believed that the disorders
will be repeated.

PEACE COMMISSIONS WORK

Paris. Oct. 5.-Major.Genera Mer.
rift reached Paris today. The Ameri-
can peace commission held session
this morning preparatory to a second
meeting with the Spanish commission
ers this afternoon.
Today's session lasted until 4 O. clock,
at which hour the commissioners adj
journed to meet at 2 o'clock next FRI
day afternoon, such interval being de-
sired and necessary to allow separate
consideration by each commission of
matters before the joint commission.
The interval will he thus filled with
work by each commission, the ultimate
results being so facilitated. The Sec
rotary of the Spanish commission will
also be employed by the secretaries
jointly in maturing plans for the work
of procedure. While the American
commissioners were at luncheon today,
General Merritt called at their hotel.
but did not wait to see the commission.
He will call again tomorrow to see
members of the commission.
iC DBtlilGII anu
sioners will be received tomorrow by
President Faurc. The hour fixed for
the reception OF the Americans is 3:45
in the afternoon. General Merritt will
accompany the AmeIic to this iunc-
ton, which will be held at the Palace
de Elysee.
The opinion is now held that the
unrly Of tho nt,,ic cin h. fir
inshed within a month from the pres
ent time. While it is the general i'm
preston that today's meeting was
again devoted to preliminary work,
and that the adjournment to Friday
was taken only to enable the secretaries
to draw up schedule Of work, the
representative of the press learns that
the session was highly important, and
that the Americans have made de-
mand OF such character that the Span
iards find it necessary to ask for an adj
journment in order to enable them to
consult with the government at Madrid.
1t is believed that the question con-
Germs the Philippines, and it is'known
that the Americans are highly pleased
at having so soon reached what they
consider a very important phase OF the
negotiations, and consider the two ses-
sions thus far held as very satisfactory
to America.
The fact that a member of the COM
mission expressed the belief that work
would be completed within month
indicates happy frame of mind.
In the Spanish camp great hopes are
built on what they believe General
Merritt will advise, namely, that the
Philippines are incapable of self.gov-
eminent, and that the whole situation
does not warrant America in taking the
responsibility for the entire Philip
pines. The Spanish commissioners are
quite ready to give whatever America
asks in the way of coaling stations, but
will resist more. to the verge OF re-
neWal of hostilities.

TO CORNER WAR IMPLEMENTS


Cleveland. o., Oct. 5.-An evening
paper says one Of the most gigantic pro-
jects for d com bination OF capital is be-
ing examined in this city. 1t is moth
ing less than an attempt to unite the
warship building interest and armor
plate and gun.making interests of the
world into one great syndicate. Men
of international reputation in the
financial and manufacturing world are
in the deal. The projectors claim
they can raise capital of $500, 900, 900.
Among the Clevelanders who are in
the deal is said to be Colonel Myron 7.
Herrick, president of the Society of
Savings, and Robert Wallace, president
of the Cleveland Ship Building Com
pany. DIR. Calling, the famous in
victor of guns, has been here in confer
ence with other men in the deal. Arm
strong, the inventor of the gun which
bears his name, has also been here.
Andrew Carnegie is one of the chief
men in the negotiation. Robert Wal
lace is now in the West with several
foreigners. Before he returns he will
stop at San Francisco. and the proprie-
tors of the Union Iron Works will be
approached as to whether they will
come into the deal.

Madrid, Oct. 4.-The cabinet has
decided to authorize General Rios to
grant reforms in the Visayas islands,
on the lines demanded by the inhab-
itants, and to concentrate his forces at
Mindanao, as there are only 400 men
garrisoning the Visayas.
The Spanish ministers also decided
to protest to the government at WASH
ington against the refusal of the Amer
leans to permit Spanish troops to be
sent to the Visayas, while it is claimed
the insurgents are constantly receiving
arms and cannon with which to attack
other islands, (which the Americans
permit without even pretending to in

The Spanish cabinet, it is added, will
acquaint its Paris commissioners with
these contentious, in order that they
may be used in the peace negotiations.
