The PARSONS DAUGHTER.

Little foot whose lightest pat
Seems to glorify the mat,
Waving hair and picture hat,
Grace the nymphs have taught heri
Gown the pink of fit and style,
Lips that ravish when they smile
Like vision, down the aisle
Comes the parsons daughter.
AS she passes. like a dart
To each luckless fellows heart
Leaps a throbbing thrill and smart.
When his eye has sought her;
Tries he then his sight to bless
with one glimpse of face or tress,
Does she know it?-well l guess!
Pretty parsons daughter.
Leans she now upon her glove
Cheeks whose dimples temptto love,
And, with sanity look above.
Hears her "pa" eXhort her;
But, within those upturned eyes,
Fair as sunny summer skies.
Just hint of mischief lies
Roguish parsons daughter.
From their azure depths askance,
When the hymn-book gave the chance,
Did l get one laughing glance?
l was sure | caught her;
Are her thoughts so far amiss
AS to stray, like mine, to bliss?
For, last night, l stole kiss
From the parsons daughter.

/ will not 60 so far as to say how this GER
tainly would have ended had there been no
interference, but the end came Yn a man
ner totally unlocked for. ] had worked the
fellow backward through the room, hoping
to get him where he could retreat no farther,
and had forced him well toward the heavy
settle whereon still sat the Quaker when
that white-haired patriarch rose with an
exclamation, and seizing his staff, stepped
behind Lowney and brought the stick down
on his barred head, telling him to the floor a
senseless carcass.
Though the blow was serviceabe to me,
such an act of war on the part of Quaker
made me turn on my ally and regard him
with astonshment.
"'Twas foul thing to take a man from
behind when engaged in front, my friend"
I broke out, "and, though give thanks for
good intentions, twas an unseemly act, and
you belle your cloth"
"Thee has small time to pick fine holes in
my service, friend" he answered; hurriedly
Turn thee to the window and see my mo-
tive. | wish to make friends with thee, but
we must hurry! Look yonder!"
l looked as directed and to my amaze
ment saw a squad of British cavalry about
turning into the lane leading to the tavern.
There was scant time for me to run for my
arms and get to the window, but, as | was
about to throw open the easement, the
Quaker laid his hand on my arm
"Not that way! he cried. ut is swamp
land, and thee would be mired in the night
Upstars-'tis safer for now-leave the rest
to me-"
With mighty nimbleness for so old a
man, he drew me toward the kitchen, and
throwing open the door, pointed to a set Of
boxed-in steps leading above, and then
quickly drew back, closing the door behiIN
him.
l had but gotten up the short flight when
/ heard him go to the barroom entrance and
shout for help with all the might of his
cracked voice. In a moment | heard the
clatter of arms as the men entered the low
er room, and at the same time the negro
came bounding up the stairs behind me.
The moonlight through the hall window
just showed me his black face as he ran to-
ward me- and with will to sell myself at
high cost | lifted my sword to cut him down
when he cried in a horse whisper, and with
out the slightest trace of dialect:
Hold up, man! I'm yer friend! This
wayl"
As he spoke he indicated door the latch
of which he lifted, and, throwing it wide,

"Come, now, put yer hands on my shoul-
ders an let me have ye out o this. There
be no time to lose"
'Where do we go?' l asked.
'Thee will be guided by me, friend" said
the Quaker. Let us get beyond this quag-
mire, and l will pilot thee, l will now make
the rear
So saying, he took me by the flap of my
coat, and |, placing my hands on StrykeTs
shoulders behind, we three moved off into
the bog in an opposite direction from that
we had come.
The negro must have had the eye of bat
and the nose of hound to make his way
over such ground in such a darkness.
There were many turnings in the path, and
more than once did | see the reflection of
the stars in the black water that was almost
under foot. More than once was there a
loud splash as we disturbed some ancient
croaker of the swamp, and now and again

TIE-CUTTING INDUSTRY.
1t VIII Flourish i'm Minnesota Dur
ing Entire Winter.


CHICAGO, Nov. 29.-One of the biggest
industries in the northern parts of Min
nesota and the Dakotas this winter will
be the cutting of railroad ties. Prepara-
tory to improving their tracks in the
spring and summer of 1900, several of the
big lines of the West and Central West,
within the last few weeks, have given
orders for more than 100000 ties, S,OOO,-
600 of which will be cut in the timber
land of Minnesota. At present the cutters
are contracting for labor In Chicago, St.
Louis, Detroit ana other large cities.
Twice as many will be cut this winter
as there were last winter, and at least
1000 tiecutters will have to be employed
steadily for several months in the for
ests of Northern Minnesota in order to
turn out the 100000 ties called for
Aside from this number of men, hundreds
of teamsters and other employees will be
required
Within the last few months the price of
ties has advanced between Is and 20 per
cent. An experienced tiemaker can turn
out thirty-five ties a day, and this win
ter the most capable will receive 10
cents for every tie turned out.
In their great desire 20 get the ties the
railroads this year are much less par
ticular as to the quality of the timber
than they ever before have been. Most
of the big roads now are equipped with
means for treating their ties to a ple-
serVative before putting them under the
rails

The above dispatch. taken in connec-
tion with the advices received today from
Gen. Otis, describing the success of the
movements of the army under Young, en-
courages the naval officials in the belief
that perhaps by this time the American
prisoners referred to have already been
released. With the naval contingent at
Vigan, only twenty-five miles away to
the west, and the army advance probably
little further distant to the southeast, the
town Of Bagued is nearly surrounded
and there is little chance of the escape
Of the insurgent force there, If they at
tempt to cucumber themselves in their
retreat with the prisoners. Taking the
list of prisoners of Gilmores party, given
in the cable from Admiral Watson. as
being at Bagued. the records of the navy
department show that the following men
must have been left at. Baler. on the east
coast Of the island. where the Yorktowns
boats crew were captured last spring:
John Dillon, Charles A. Morrissey. Ora
B. Mcdonald, William H. Rynders, o. W.
Woodbury., @. A. D. Venville and A j.
Nygard.
Altogether. the news from both army
and navy sources today is highly en-
couraging to the officials here as indica-
ting the practical end Of the opposition
of the insurgents in the north of Luzon.
So far as known. the only formidable
force is that left In Cavite province, under
Gen. Tryas, and that operating in Panay.

ject.
Some color had been given to the report
by recent unpleasant experience of Mr.
White, calculated to embitter his stay
here. His landlord is trying to sell the
ambassadors residence to the govern.
ment of the grand duchy OF Baden,
which Is anxious to secure 1t for it's
own legation. He repudiates Mr.. Whites
contention that the lease of the property
was for the ambassadors term Mr..
White finally placed the matter in the
hands of a lawyer. Before he left for
his vacation he remarked that if forced
to leave the premises he would resign
as he was unwilling to undergo agaia
the expense of moving and fitting up a
residence.
While the relations between the United
States embassy and the higher officials
of the government are pleasant, several
of the employees of the embassy have had
occasion to complain of underlings of
the embassy. Thus it developed that Dr.
Fisk, second secretary of the embassy,
was arrested a month ago. He was sim
ply an eyewitness of the boisterous be.
havior of a number of American boys
in a railway car, but on arriving at the
station he was taken to the nearest po-
lice functionary, who detained him an
hour, although he asserted his position
and offered documentary proof of It. IT
was only after the arrival of one of Dr.
Fisks friends from the official residence
that the police released him. The next
day on a representation from the embassy

inSs OF Labor Organization.
COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 29.-Col James
Kilbourne, president of the Kilbourne-
Jacobs Manufacturing company, today
made public a letter purporting to be
from j. k. Turner, manager of the Manu-
facturers' Information bureau, of Cleve
land, O., Offering to furnish a complete
report of the secret sessions of the con-
vention of the American Federation of
Labor, to be held in Detroit, Dec. IL.
The letter says:
Pursuing the policy we have followed
for years we will have several of our
operatives present at this convention,
through whom We will receive a complete
report of all their proceedings, including
secret sessions Under our system of CO.
operative reports we are enabled, on ac-
count of our large clientage, to furnish
this report to any one desiring It for the
sum of $15, with the distinct understand
ing that the information therein con-
tanned will be treated as strictly confiden-
tial
Those who have had experience with
union and non union labor will readily agree
that the tendency of unionism Is to make
the men rebellious and disobedient to
their employers. 1t also makes them dis
honest because they violate the terms
Of their agreement, and are impudent in
making eXtraVagant demands upon their
employers. Consequently We believe it is
quite to the interest of every manufac-
turer, to prevent, as far as lies In his
power, the seeds of disSension to be soWn
among the employees by these labor agita-
tors
In his reply to the letter of Mr.. Turner,
Col. Kilbourne said:

of the action of the committee:
"A resolution was unanimously adopted
that a national convention of the Silver

If possible, the holding of all three ma
tiCnal conventions at the same time and
piace, and at tho earliest practicable
date, to the end that complete co-opera-
ton of the reform forces may be had
The executive committee was authorized
to determine the number of delegates to
the national convention, the same to be
not less than 2,O00 to arrange the basis
of selection, and to allot the representa-
ton from each state.
''It was decided that the call for the
convention shall include as eligible to
representation all those voters who here
tofore, prior to 1896 or since, have acted
politically with the Republican party,
but are bimetallists and favor the unre-

Why a Temporary Settlement of
Alaska Dispute Was Made.
HALIFAX, N. s., Nov. 29-Sir L. H.
Davies, Canadian minister Of marines and
fisheries, speaking at New Gladstone
last night, referred to the Alaskan boun-
dary dispute. He said he had been willing
to settle with theUnited States by compro-
mise, and then by arbitration. Both
had been rejected by the Americans.
Then he offered Dyea and Skaguay Can
ada to keep Pyramid harbor. This was
also declined. Further efforts will still
be made for an amicafie settlement Sir
Louis said that Canada's position has
been straightforward and statesmanlike.
In the meantime, to maintain friendly re-
lations between Great Britain and the
United States, a temporary settlement of
the dispute had been agreed upon.
