LEAF OF SHAMROCK.

When Erin's sons so marching down the
street and fair ones lean
From balconies. with glowing cheeks, to
hail the flag of green:
When Harp That Once Through Tara 5
Halls the band inspired plays,
And thrills, as e'er it thrilled OF old, these

A gray-haired man of business stands and
watches them go by.
He has no Irish blood to course, no Irish
heart to sigh.
The while he loves his native land-from
south to northern bay
He wears 4 leaf Of shamrock green on each
st. Patrick's Day.
No one who bears his name has e'er on
Irish sod been born:
The sears of Yorktown. Bunker Hill, his
SireS old have worn,
And every one prefiXed his name-a Sood Oil
Holland plan
No matter what that name might be, with
either Won Van;
But years ago this Yankee true had won
him for wife
4 maid from sweet killarney's wales, who
through the storm and strife
Has been his hope. his comforter; and
homage due to pay
He wears 4 leaf of shamrock green on each
st. patrickS Day.
Beneath that flag of green his wife had
grown TO womanhood-
That not Il stain was on its folds, what
other proof as good?
And she had given up so much when as ms
wife she came,
A loving heart, trusting soul, an honored
Irish name!
So when the sons of Erin march WITH nfln
and martial tread,
You'll note Il man of business stand WIN

The fullest need of Yankee love an irish
heart to pay.
He wears leaf of shamrock green on each

Duplicate Bills Slipped Through
During the Closing Hours Of
the Last Session.

New York, March PA special to the
Herald from Washington says: Unwit-
tingly, Congress just before its adjourn
ment, gave President Mckinley authori-
ty to appoint two admirals of the navy
instead Of limiting the grade to one, as it
undoubtedly intended.
The discovery has just been brought to
the attention of officials Of the navy de-
partment and has aroused cOnsdera bic
gossip, especially among the friends of
Rear-Admirals Sampson and Schley.
PRESIDENT Mckinley approved on March
=, IAN act creating the office of admiral
of the navy: providing that the Presi
dent is hereby authorized to appoint by
selection and promotion, an admiral of
the navy. who shall not be placed upon
the retired list, except upon his own APP
phcatlon; and whenever such office shall
be vacated by death or otherwise, the of
flee shall cease to exist
certified copy of the act was present
ed to Secretary Long by the state depart
ment. and the former Immediately made
out the nomination of George Dewey to
be admiral The nomination was con-
firmed by the Senate on March ,.
Notwithstanding that the President had
appointed an officer to be IAN admiral of
the navy as provided for III the act.
Congress passed the navy appropriation
BILL which was approved late on the leg
islative day of March =, containing a
provision identical in language with the
act under which Admiral Dewey had
been appointed and confirmed.
1t has been pointed out that The pro-
vision, like the act. provided for the APP
pointment of an officer TO be an admiral
''by selection and promotion. Had
the act simply read in both cases
"by promotion" Admiral Dewey,
being the ranking officer, would have
been appointed and then RearAd-
miral r Y. McNair might be considered
eligible for appointment as Ian admiral.
but as it specifically stated ''by selection
and promotion it is apparent that the
President, if he thinks he has sufficient
authority to do so. may select any officer
he may see fit. and as be has expressed
himself only recently in terms of high ap-
probation Of RearAdmiral Sampson s
conduct, friends of the commander of the
North Atlantic squadron are confident
that if anyone is appointed he will be the
man.
Friends Of RearAdnliral Schley would
naturally like to have the honor conferred
upon him. but approaching the temper OF
the administration toward him they do
not look for it. They say also that an
Interpretation of the act by a judicial Of
ficer OF the government viii show eX-
cllsiyely that Congress intended that only
one admiral should be appointed. This IS
the view taken by Secretary Long. but It
is not doubted that the matter will be
brought to the attention of the Presi-

The pace at which she was going began
to distress her; her muscles seemed to be
contracting, her breath became painful.
She remembered that after the level
stretch came sharp downward slope,
and after that a hill, up which it would
be impossible for her to ride. She was
growing desperate. She dared not face
John, for she could not rely upon her
strength. She was angry, mortified re-
sentful. but she loved John Castle, and
therein lay her vulnera bility.
The swish behind her sounded near

her thoughts she determined to keep up
There was little hope now of escape. but
it was the only course-and anything

Then the slope began; it was steep and

seemed literally to fly over the ground,
for she gave no thought to her brake
The cyclist behind seemed to be using
the same method. He was close upon
her now, coming swiftly as an eagle.

she did not heed it. Anything may hap

Next moment there came Il slip, crash

seconds: then she scrambled up and
looked back. A wagner was kneelng

the man was John Castle
John Castle lay motionlesS at the bot

agony of love, and fear, and remorse, not

unbearab bic to keep silence.

Building of Terminal Line of Ann
Arbor Road at Menominee De-
veiops Elaborate Plans.

MenOminee, Mich, March 25-IS pe-
cial. General Manager II. w Ashley
Of the Toledo & Ann Arbor railroad was
in the city this week. A deal was made
with local capitalists. whereby the East
ern road will build Il belt line around
the twin cities and establish this as q
Western terminal. The right-of-way was
granted free by the citizens The deeds
for the proposed terminal are recorded i'll
the office of the register OF deeds. All
surveys have been made and the work
of building will be segUn as soon as the
frost is out of the ground.
This is the last year Menominee will be
a closed port: The railroad company
will build Il big steel ice-crushing tug,
which VIII keep a channel in the ba.
open the year around A depot and ware
house site have been chosen and all de-
tails are perfected.
Lit is automatically announced that
eventually this road will build through
to Minneapolis and northward to the iron
regions. The Pennsylvania line is back
ing the scheme and the project is as
sured. This plan gives the Eastern road
direct connection with the Western traf-
nc and a new transcontinental line is es-
tablished. The officials are expected in
the city next week. when detailed plans
will be perfected.
President S. NJ. Fischer of Chicago and
other officials of the Wisconsin, Michigan

spection of that road today. They looked
over plans for the extension to Norway
and the iron regions. Their proposed ex
tension is now being examined by the
state commissioner Of railroads and state
board. The North Western and the

against certain proposed crossings, which
must be made. The work OF building the

NEW CURE FOR TYPHOID.
a Philadelphia Doctor Uses Copper
Arsenic and Neuc1in.

Il
Arsenic and Neuc1in.
A new cure has been discovered for t.
phoid fever by DIR. John Aulde of Phila .
delphia. The new treatment consists Of
copper arsenite and neuclin, which, it
has been thoroughly demonstrated, is not
only efficacious in typhoid-feyer cases, but
also in diphtheria.
By the use of neuclin the nervous and
cerebral functions are invigorated. In
diphtheria the changed condition within
the first "a hours after its use is remark
able. In typhoid fever the introduction
of neuclin renews cellular activity and
restores its antiseDtic property to the
blood.
The treatment has been adopted by
many of the army doctors. In every
case the result more than justified the
treatment, as there was a perceptible
change for the better in every case in
from twenty-four to forty-eight hours,
and complete recovery was effected III
from three to six days.
In discussing his new discovery, DR..
Aulde said:
Il have waited patiently for returns
from all over the country before speak
ing Of neuclin. The result in every case
has more than exceeded my expectations
[ have tried it in hundreds of cases ana
have never known it TO fail. The treat
ment is simple. 1t supports nature with
two things:
First. it furnishes in arsenite of cop

lining of the membrane of the intestine
directly and through the nervous SYSTEM
and, secondly, it supplies the physical
system artiicially with that natural an
tiseptic that is being constantly produced
by the blood cells.

The Creed of Puvis de Chavannes.

Not since the early Italians has anyone
painted as Puvis de Chayannes, writes
Miss Van Worst in the Pail Mall Maya
zine. Meditation, Indifference to the
world, absorption in his work, aided his
development, his genius unfolded in sol
itude." The human form was to him
the shadow, and the soul the reality, he
made earthly beauty veil for his idea
of the eternal; form he subordinated to
his thought. Il try" he said, through
the shade to suggest the essence" Nor
let it be advanced that over his incapaci-
ty to draw Puvis de Chavannes threw
concealing mistiness. His pastels, his
drawings, the figures he has seen fit to
leave nude. or semi-nude, disprove this.
Of his faith or dogma his art, however,
tells us nothing definite. The legends of
saints are no less breathing evidences of
a distinct credo, than the mythical figures
in the Vision Antique and other works of
the same character are expressions of
harmony with the Greek pagan spirit It
is the expansive all-embracing province
of highest art the faith in, the love for
beauty which is the creed Of Puvis de
Chayannes; and it is the manner in which
this inspired genius conceived and pre-
scented the forms of beauty that separated
him so vastly from his materialistic fore
runners and contemporaries in France.
The German Emperor's Histrionics
By some untraceable gift, William, the
son Of Frederick and Victoria, grandson
of William the First and Augusta, is in
all and above all histrionic.
Now, there are various ways of being
that; some that are base, for example,
and some that are not. There are the
histrionics that we play off in hope Of
gain or for their fine effect upon sur
rounding friends; and there are the his
trionics of children, who, in their intense
make believe and ''let us pretend" are
histrions for themselves and their own
enjoyment alone. The rarely absent his
trionics of the German Emperor belong
to tie latter variety much more than to
any other. Played for the sake of bene-
fetal returns-little or not at all; for
their fine effect in the eyes of grounding
admiration-more than a little; for self
enjoyment and own delight--by far and
very far the most. In that shape it is
really like the rapture of poesy to poets.
