AN UNHAPPY POET.
The Sad Story of an Ohio Bard Who
 Failed of Wide Publicity

An Ohio poet, whose name is moi given. has written complainingly to Literature of the hack of public ap- preciation from which he has sui fered. Genius neglected is always pitifu1; nor is it easy to. find a,levia- l ton in the thought that posterity may remedy the injustice Of contem- Dorary judgment "I wrOte,'' says the poet, "a work of eighteen hundred lines which was never published eX cept in C1le state; and though it has been commended for patriotic senti- ment,. fire, finish, and sublimity by a few professors, editors, and others, the general public, like Pharaoh of old, knows not Joseph and probably never wilI.' Here is a hard enough case, to be sure, and yet it has its con soIations Is there not more delight in the applause Of an audience IL though few than in the cheers Of the ignoble vulgar? The professors and editors represent illuminated judg- ment; and what more can any pcet ask? Browning himself never had greater success than this. As for the general public, bid them go to, and re- member the fate of the old Pharaoh. who knew not Joseph. That is what Browning did:
 Well, British Public, ye who like me

 God love ycul) and will have your
 proper laugh
 At the dark question, laugh it! l
 laugh first.
 Thus he in the wonderful poem which wsnt so far toward cCnquering the public; and thus should our OhiU poet speak.
 It would be pleasure to have some small share in promoting publicity in this case, but Literature withholds the poets name at his C.Wn request. There is something of the yiCtet by the messy stone about him. therefore, de- spite the apparent arrogance in his praise of his work. He waits un known for the justice which seldCm fails to reward Ohio men. He sings cn though louder voices drown the ccstatic strain. And no doubt he sets a certain amount of s1tisfacticn in thinking how stupid readers are. There is KiDling. Why should his verses be praised? Ore finds, cur poet says, no "pathos, sublimity or beauty" in Kipling's verse. He may be a good novelist adds the unhappy man; T do net know about that. l

What unfOrtu- nate limitations for a poet to hayei How can Cne be pcet at all. indeed, if he fails to take an interest in the dreams of other men? It is as the interpreter Of these, indeed, that he becomes Q poet at all. He gives voice to the mute inglorious Miltons; the common air is thick with dreams for him to tell to the tOiling crowd.

SLAVES TO MONEY GETTING.

ChauEcey Depew has said that many men have enough to retire on, but nothing to retire to. Unfortunately this is too true. Many men have been successful money getters. Tho scramble for dollars has fas oinated them. They have lost ail interest in everything else. And when they find themselves rich enough to retire they have nothing to retire tC; no purpose which can inter est them. They have lost the capac- ity to spend it and enjoy it. Then they become mere slaves to their mon omania for accommodating more dol lars over which their heirs may quar- rel.-Minneapolis Times.

HELP FOR THE STRICKEN.
the Victims Of the Terrible Hurricane
al Porto Rico.

A stirring appeal has been made to
the people at large by the U. S. Sec
retary of War for contributions,
promp. and generous, in aid of the
thousands of sufferers left homeless
and IN starvation by the recent disas-
trous hurricane which swept over
Porto Rico. Accurate reports state
that several thousand human lives
were lost, hundred of thousands of
once happy homes were destroyed,
crops were everywhere utterly ruined
and many thousands of human beings
are literally starving for want of food.
Hungry, houseless, with scarcely any
clothing left to cover their nakedness,
the unfortunate survivors are, we learn
by telegraphic advices, threatened
with the additional horrors of ia plague.
Crowds of women, old men and help
less little ones are encountered on
every hand piteously begging for food
and shelter.
Over ninety per cent. of the houses
have been demolished and IN many
places the furious onset of the sea has
swept away almost every vestige of
fourishing little towns and villages.
From Adjuntas, Guayamas, Zabucoa,
Mayaguez, Maunabo, Arrayo and
otter localities the loss of life has
been appalling and the cries for help
are pitiful and heaitrending. In one
district alone, Utuado, over two
thousand persons perished, and, as in
other southern towns, those who have
escaped with their lives are in want
Mayor Samuel H. Ashbridge and
the Citizens Permanent Relief Com
mlttee Of Philadelphia, have organ
lied Citizens Porto Rico Relief
Fund, and our readers are asked to
contribute to it and to send their con-
tributions either to Hon. Samuel H.
Ashbridee, Mayor of Philadelphia, or

hearted men, women and children Of

to respond, heartily and literally, to
the appeal of the distressed.

ever small, will be gladly received and

UNDERTAKER'S PROGRESS
A Rubber Tired Carriage for Church
AisIes IL One of the Newest
Inventions.

Among the many new appliances OF
up-to-date undertalers is the casket
carriage, upon which burial casl<et
may be moved up the aisle of a church.
The latest form of casket carriage,
upon which a patent was issued in the
present year, is of lattice construction,
of brass. 1t is supported upon six low
rubber-tired wheels, three on a side.
When not in use it can be closed up
together, occupying q small space;
when opened for use it is of ample size
TO bear a casket, which can be moved
upon it securely, smoothly and noise
lessly along the aisle, says the New
York Sun.
1t is not expected that the casket car
riage will take the place of bearers in
state and military and other funerals
in which bearers would naturally be
employed, but 1t is found useful in
other church funerals, and especially
in churches having narrow aisles in
which there might not be room for
bearers to walk at the side of the cas-
ket.
The removal basket is a modern
means of conveyance, used by under
takers for the removal of bodies, from
hospitals or hotels or other places
where it might not be convenient or
desirable to carry a cumbersome ice
box. 1t is cofiin-sbaped in its general
form, but with rounded outlines and
a rounded top. 1t has a steel frame
work, upon which the basketwork, Of
rattan, is woven. Stout wicker handles
nre woven into the sides. In such
basket occupying comparatively little
space and which may be conveniently
handled, the body is removed to the
undertaker's.

THIS CAT REFUSED TO DIE.
now m Intelligent Pussy Put n stop
to University Professors
DemoDstratiop.

Students of one of the big universi-
ties in this city have cat that has
utterly refused to become martyr to
science. It's history is another instance
II the refining and elevating infiuenS
At science, says the Chicago Times-Her-
Nd.
Prof. Blank asked j. Z. Morgan, the
janitor to get a cat for him, as he
wished to illustrate his lecture on RES
piration" by experiments upon the ami
nal. Mr.. Morgan succeeded in getting
me with the aid of some small boys.
When his students had assembled the
professor put the cat into the glass
-sceiver of the air pump and began to
lump out the air. Before the piston had
time TO move more than once or twice
Tie cat began to feel very uncomfort-
able, and, discovering the aperture
through which the air was escaping, put
mar foot on II and thus corked the pipe
md stopped the removal of the air.
Several subsequent attempts to car
~ on the experiments were alike inef-
ssctual, for rs soon as the glass cover
was put over her and she felt the re-
noval of the air the cat would put her
feet over the pipe and keep them
pRessed there.
The students, struck by the remark
able intelligence shown by the cat,
asked the professor TO liberate the ami
NAL and loudly cheered her self-posses-
saon when the cat after coolly clean
ing herself and smoothing her ruffled
fur, jumped down and rubbed against
the legs of the students sitting on the
'front.' bench. She is now permanently
annexed to the college and IN object of
interest to all visitors.

Poluting Streams.
A Recent Superior Court Decision on the
Subject.

The decision of the superior court
as handed down by Judge Orlady is
one of Importance. If the decision
stands it will redeem our streams from
their present use as open sewers. The
evidence in the case shows that one
Yost, resident of Glen Rock, York
county, permitted sewage from his
premises to flow into stream which
empties into Codorus creek, from
which the city of York obtains its
water. Mr., Yost was indicted for
maintaining a nuisance, but he claim
ed that the stream which was polluted
from his premises is the common
sewer of the borough; that sewage
was required to be conducted in this
stream by virtue Of borough ordln-
ance, and that his action in the matter
was entirely lawful. The jury agreed
with him, and he was acquitted, the
court leaving the juryt to decide wheth-
er indeed, the stream in question was
a common sewer. The superior court
says this was error and orders a new
trial.
In SO ruling the superior court de-
cides that Notwithstanding the ordi.
nance and the general custom Of the
borough Yost had no right to conta-
inmate the water for those who have a
right to use it below. the borough.
Judge Orlady says: ga water course
does not lose any of Its characters cs
because houses are built or its banks,
or because they increase in numbers
so as to become borough. No pres.
cription or usage can justify the pol
luton of stream by the discharge Of
sewage in such manner as to be in
furious to the public health. Lapse
of time will not leg ,lize public nuis-
ance. To deposit in naturl water
course, in close proximity to a source
of supply from which the water is used
for domestic purposes, noisome and
offensive matter is public nuisance. !"
The cities and boroughs with sewage
systems will have difficulty in adjust
ing themselves to the decision. 1t
will take time and money to change
present systems which in almost every
instance, have their terminus in some
running stream.

The great doctors are agreed that
appendicitis is rarely caused by grape
seeds, or the like, and all their opera
tions and autopsies fail to show any
such cause. The most novel theory
yet advanced is that the prevalence of
this malady is largely due to sudden
jars, for which the bicycle is said to
be largely responsible. The bicycle
has many sins to answer for, no
doubt, but before being held guilty of
inducing appendicitis it is entitled to
the presumption of innocence and to
proof positive of its guilt.
