The COMING oF The MUSE.

The shy muse. rarely seen, at times
Floats down, but will not stay,
But hides her unembodied rhymes
Far, far away.
From out the blank unpeopled page
There shines no vision fair,
And on the poets noble rage
Broods cold despair.
In vain to toll in vain to strive,
Efforts and VOWS are naught.
No fayoring impulse comes to drive
The tagging thought.
Then sudden. mid the darkling chill.
Dead hope and strivings vain.
A gkostly radiance seems to fill
His heart and brain.
Far off and thin, translucent, white,
His straining eyeballs trace.
Half hidden, phantom of delight.
A sweet veiled face
And straight, It's life, tits youth, lis spring
That comes his toll to cheer.
Blithe fancy spreads Joyous wing,
1.-THE muse is herel''
Der foam fowered wave, DER snow clad hill
She floats, or vernal grove.
His happy eyes warm tcardrops I'LL
OF faith and love.
Now from the sunset beckons she.
Now from the dnwn's clear rose,
And sadly now, now joyously.
Sings as she goes
Now through the thick life laden ai-
Along the city street
Fleeting she draws divinely fair
His faithful feet.
Now By the palace, now the jail;
Lives gilded, lives undone,
Lives laughter lit or those that wall,
She hovers on,
And with her takes the poets mind
And heart and soul and will.
Where'e she leads wandering wind,
He follows, follows still

ABOUT SLEEPWALKERS.
Some Narrow Escapes and Some Cures That
Proved Effective.

ABOUT SlEEPWALKERS.
Some Narrow Escapes and Some Cures That
Proved Effective.
The mention of sleepwalker
standing upon the street railway
track the other night and barely
escaping being run down has
brought to the minds of many pee
ple incidents in this line that have
come under their observation, and it
is simply astonishing how general
is this habit.
One person mentions the case of 4
member of the household who was
found wandering about on the house
top, all unmindful of his danger,
while the observer was at his wits
end to know how to get him in be-
fore he should make misstep and
fall to the ground. Usually the eyes
of the somnambulist are wide open,
and now and then story indicates
that the vision must be fairly good
at times.
For instance. a gentleman remem-
bers that when he was a young man
an acquaintance was badly given to
the habit, and he would often go
out into the yard and wander about.
One night a number of them lay in
ambush for him just to watch his
operations. By and by the door
opened in a businesslike way and
out came the young man. He went
straightway across the street into a
lot where there was nut tree and
proceeded to pick up nuts and put
them in Il pile. A few moments at
this task, then he started toward the
house. In spanning the fence he
made misstep and fell. This awak
ened him, and while he was in the
first act of collecting his thoughts
he saw in the darkness the young
men who were watching him. Just
at that time tSeir appearance so
startled him that he fed like deer
The circumstance was SO impressed
upon his mind that he never after
ward INDUCED in the habit.
A gentleman told an amusing in
cident that happened in his early
life. He was sure that he could not
have been more than ) OF 6 years
old at the time. He often found him
self at the far end of the long, un-
finished chamber where he slept,
and Usually could not awake suffi-
GENTLY to find his way to bed again,
so one OF the other of his parents
would hear him crying and come to
his rescue. Naturally they got a
little tired of the bother, and no one
should be blamed for what followed.
AS stated, the chamber was an un-
finished one, and in place of the
guard rail at the danger end of the
stairway a number of barrels had
been placed. When the nights SOM
nambulistic tour eliminated that
left a lasting impression on his
mind as we'll as his body, he was
near those barrels, and it seemed had
been struggling to get through be-
tween them, when he must surely
have been killed by falling down
the stairs. The noise aroused the
parents, and on this memorable oc-
casion the father visited the cham
ber just in time to save the lad
from getting through. He was on
his hands and knees pushing
through. and the opportunity for
administering the usual punishment
of those days could not have been
better arranged to order. Talk
about spankings, said the relator,
"why, that must have been 40 years
and more ago, but 1 can feel the
sting as if it was last night! But it
cured me, you may be sure. Hart

CHINA TEA service, Wlln cups sui
containing the stain of the long
dried residaum that had been left
after drinking. Near it stood an
open spinet, with the music still
standing before it. The piece was
one of Guilio Sassano's long forgot
ten pastorals. Yonder lay faded
glove, blood stained, in another
corner lady's slipper, beautifully
ornamented. In the middle of the
room stood an immense bedstead of
very costly workmanship, but the
curtains were closely drawn all
round. In front of the bed lay two
swords, thrown down as if in COM
bat, and by them the bones of a
moldering human hand cut off by
the wrist.
"1f any solution exists, it lies
within those bed curtains" said
Henry in low voice.
"Draw them aside and see what
is there. +"
II will. %
These were the last words he
spoke. AS he advanced to the bed
side there came sweeping along the
corridor the same rushing, mighty
wind they had heard before. In an
instant ali the tlambeauX were eN-
tinguished. But scarcely had dark
ness fallen upon them when fright
full crash was heard in the lower end
of the room, accompanied by wall
ing cry. The curtains enveloping the
bed were violently drawn aside, and
it seemed as though a fiery hand
surrounded with blue sulphurous
fame was thrust forth from the
aperture and crushed both Henry
Arniston and Jasper Keith to the
floor, while overhead there broke
the most terrible peal of thunder
ever heard by any of those grouped
at the doorway, and under which
the old castle trembled to its foun-
dations.
Then oyer all there fell a silence
even more awful than the roar of
the elements, amidst which the
same wai]ing as had been heard be-
fore seemed to utter the words,
though at a vast distance. 1.-The
doom has fallen-has fallen" T"
Lights were not long in being pro-
cured, and the inmates of the castle
pressed forward into the fated cham
ber to see what remained. The cur
tains still fell with their dark in
scrutable folds about the bed, veil
ing as before the secrets that lay hid
there, but no man dared to with
draw them. Before the bed, pros
trate and motionless, lay two
corpses, blackened and disfgured.
They were those of Jasper Keith and
the Laird of Lodore. Traced upon
the breast of the latter as by some
diabolic engraver was the exact re-
production of the Luck of Lodore. "
Lodore castle still stands in the
Lammermoors, but Jean Arniston
and the husband of her choice, Az
chic Rubislaw, never sought to ex-
anime further into the mysteries
of the sealed suit and were con-
tent to take things as they found
them. 1.-THE Luck of Lodore" still

10 salvation The principle OF this proposed
amendment met the views of many OF the
delegates but, at the same time, was objected
10 by others. After number OF changes in
the phraseoogy, it was finally adopted as fol-
lows:
This church solemnly affirms that it be-
lieves in the Holy Scriptures of the Old and
New Testament to be the word OF God, and
to contain ali things necessary to salvation,
and a1heres to the faith of the Holy Catholic
Church as set forth in the Apostles Greed and
the Nicene Greed

/ nays, 13; divided, ID. Lay-Yeas, 30 (;
nays 20; divided, 6. Tho presiding officer
announced that the preamble had been car
ried by constitutional majority, and the
deputies had proceeded to the consideration
of other business, when Rev. DR.. Mallory, of
Milwaukee, raised the point of order that this
ruling was incorrect, nasmuch as only 2S of
the SO lay delegates had voted for it, con-
tray to the constitution, which required a
majority. The chairman thereupon reversed
his ruling, but Mr.. Stetson, of New York ap-
pealed from the decision, and this was pend
ing when the deputies adjourned.
During the consideration of section 1 of
article efforts were made by delegates to in
sert the words american" and Protestant
Episcopal" as indicating the church referred
to in the article. but these were opposed and
voted down.
The deputies concurrcd in the action of the
bishops in selecting Rev. Samuel Hart, d. D.,

States, to fill the position formerly occupied
by the late Bishop Perry.

PARIS, Oct. 1S.-The Gaulois says
that the differences in the joint peace
commission arise chiefly from the ques-
ton OF the Cuban debt. The Spaniards
contend that to demand that Spain
shall assume the debt is equivalent to
a money indemnity in addition to the
cession of territory. The Americans
refuse to discuss the point because of
their having received positive instruc-
tons thereon. The statement is official
ly authorized that all speculation as to
the doines of the joint commission is un-
founded; nevertheless there is reason to
suppose there is leak somewhere, as
there is little doubt that the delibera-
tons recently have been chiefly on the
financial side Of the case.

The Great Diamond Robbery.

LONDON, Oct. 1S.-No arrests have as
yet been made in the case of the Dows-
ger Duchess of Sutherland's loss OF
Sl50,000 worth of jewels in Paris. The
articles taken included necklace
valued at $4,000. The duchess en-.
trusted her jewel case to the care of one
OF her maids, before leaving the hotel.
The maid came down stairs yesterday
morning and handed the case to no.
tel porter. Later she and the other
servants of the duchess went to the
railroad station in an omnibus. The
maid was the last to enter the vehicle.
After she got in the porter handed her
the jewel case, which she placed across
her knees, but how the case afterwards
disappeared is a mystery.
A dispatch from Paris says that the
duchess mas offered d reward of $50, 900
for the recovery of her jewels. 1t is be-
lieved that the robbery was the work
of gang who had been watching the
movements OF the duchess while in
Paris. The authorities are in commu-
nication with the police of ali of the

A dispatch from Richmond says:
For over two years two well.known
people. one physician OF this city and

Hampton, Va, have kept secret clan.
destiue marriage, and yesterday sur
prised their families and friends by
making the fact known. DR.. Richard
Ferguson is resident physician of the
Eye and Ear Iufrmary OF this city.
Two years ago he was q medical stu
dent at the University College of Medi-
cine and house surgeon at the hospital
connected with the college. His father
is a well.knowu Methodist preacher,
and, like most of them, without fortune.
Young Ferguson was just twenty one.
His sweetheart, Miss Martha Elizabeth
Sheetz, pretty and much adj
lnired young lady, was just nineteen,
They determined TO wed and then wait
for Ferguson to carve his career. They
met by appointment in Baltimore and
were married by DR.. Warner, of Calvary
Methodist Church, the daughter of the
pastor and reporter being the only
witnesses. DR.. Ferguson has risen
rapidly in his chosen profession. In
the meantime he has visited his bride,
and it was supposed they were only
engaged people. Having reached pc.
sition where he could give his wife the
position he thought she deserved, he
paid visit to Hampton yesterday and
claimed her as his own.

A DISPATCH from Havana says the
Cubans in many parts of the island are
pulling down the telegraph and tele-
phone lines and using the wire for fenc
ing purposes; also that many things
have taught the Americans there that
the Spanish land system was admira-
BILE and cannot be improved. 1t has
also been discovered by the American
conquerors that Gen. Weyler had sue
ceeded in Kidding Havana OF almost the
last one of It's professional robbers and
murderers before he was recalled. When
they shall know more about Cuba than
they do now, some Americans will re-
alize the fact that the Spaniards were
better acquainted with the people OF
that island than they were, and are Tot
so much to blame as they supposed
them to be.

THE ADMINISTRATIONS assumption
that this is not conquering nation,
and that as it did not conquer Cuba
and is not the sovereign OF that island
it is not bound for the debts thereof, Is
absurd, and is SO considered by all
foreigners versed in international law
That somebody conquered Cuba every
body knows; that the Cubans didn't, Is
equally as well-knowu, and as nobody
was fighting the Spanish possessors OF
that island but the Americans, that this
country did conquer Cuba is plain to ell
Intelligent men. That it is Cuba's SOW
ereign is proved not only by the Amell-
can troops now there, and those going
there, but by the facts that citizens
of this country are collecting
American customs and internal rev
enue there, and are in charge Of the
police and the public schools of the isl
and. But patent facts are not factors
in the reasoning of the administration,

formally welcomed to the city this
morning at the mass meeting at the

Harrison had not prepared any ad.
dress, but spoke in happy vein, well
coming the guests and extending the
freedom of the city. Archbishop Ire
land in his speech justified The war with

mcnaced, let the honor of the nation
be assailed, let grievous crime against
humanity be perpetrated within reach
of nations flag or q nations arm, re-

nation which Is not so base as to court
death and dishouor but to challenge

the Auditorium. Col w. J. Bryan sent
