The PraYer Of self.

one knelt within 4 world OF care
And n. and lifted up hts PRAYER;
"I ask Thee Lord. for health and power
TO meet the duties OF each hour.
For peace from care, for daily good,
For life prolonged and filled with good;
I praise Thee for Thy gifts received,
For sins forgiven for pains relieved,
For near and dear one spared and blessed,
Tor prcspered toll and promised rest.
This prayer 7 make in His great name
Who for my souls salvation came"
But az he prayed lol az his side
Stood the thorn-crowned Christ, and sigh
ed.
20 blind disciDle-came I then l
To bless the se1shness Of men7
Thou askest health amidst the cry
OF human strain and agony
Thou askost peace. while all around
Trouble bows thousands 10 the ground;
Thou askest life FOR thine and thee.
While others die. thou thankest me
Tor gifts. for pardon. for success,
For thine own narrow happiness.
Nay: rather bow thy head and pray
That while thy brother starves to-day
Thou mayest not eat thy bread az ease;
Pray that no health or wealth or peace
May lull thy soul while the world lies
Suffering. and claims thy sacrifice.
Praise not. while others weep. that thou
Hast never groaned with aneuished brow;
Praise not. thy sins have pardon found
while others sink. IN darkness drowned;
Canst thou give thanks while other nigh,
Outcast and lost. curse God and die?
'Not IN NV name thy PRAYER was made,
Not FOR Ny sake thy praises paid.
Nv gift Is sacrifice: Nv blood
Was shed for human brotherhood.
And tiil thv brothers woe Is thine
Thv hoqr'-haat Fn0ws no thrQ1 Of mine.
Come. leave thy selfish hopes. and see
Thy birthrighf ~ humanity
The worlds dark weight Of sin and care;
Soend and be spent. yesrn, suffer. give;
And in thv brethren learn 20 live"

Baron and Baroness De Barra Tried

Jacksonville. Fla, Feb. 2.-Baron and
Baroness De Barra, who were arrested
on Jan. at st. Augustine, charged
with using the United States mails
through the Chicago postoffice to pro-
mote a scheme to defraud, and who
were held under bonds of $500 TO ap-
pear at the March term of the United
States court at Chicago for trial, have
been surrendered by their bondsmen
and have been held in the custody Of
the marshal in this city. The motion
of District Attorney Stripping for the
removal Of the prisoners to Chicago
was granted here yesterday by Judge
Locke in the United States court. Six
days were asked and granted their at
torney in which to prepare new bonds,
and the execution of the removal war
rant will be suspended during that
time. In the meantime the prisoners
are kept under special guard at the
Windsor hotel here. The expectation
is quite general that they will not be
able to give bonds, as they left st.
Augustine ten days 60 going to Pensa-
cola, followed by a Pinkerton detective,
who asserts the strong belief that they
intended going to Mexico, from which
country they could not be returned on
the charge pending against them.

THE SAMOAN CONFLICT.
1t Is Expected That Fighting Will
Be Resumed.
AUToORATIo GERMAN PRESIDENT

He Ordered the Release OF a German
Resident OF Apla who Had Been sem
fenced by Chief Justice Chambers to
Imprisonment For Rioting.
ing advices have just been received
here from Apia. Samoan Islands:
There has been no further general
fighting between the partisans of the
rival chieftains since the last advices
were forwarded, except that. party
OF Mataafas followers was routed In
the bush by Malietoans. 1t is expected,
however. that fighting will be resumed
as Mataafa is rearresting persons who
have been already fined and released.
The work Of pillage continues, among
the houses looted being Vailama' the
house OF the late Robert Louis Steven
son, the novelist.
The exlled Malietoan chiefs were
landed at Pago Pago, on the Island OF
Tutuila, the schooner on which they
were being unable to proceed to the
Island of Manua, owing to adverse
winds. The Tutuilans gave them
hearty welcome and made an attempt
to seize Mataafa's son, who was on
board the schooner but the captain put
to sea.
There has been a collision Of author
lty between Chief Justice William l..
Chambers. Of the supreme court and
DR.. Joannes Raffel, the German presi-
dent of the municipality of Apia. Herr
Grosmuhl. a German resident of Apia,
who was arrested for smashing win
dows of the supreme court chamber,
was sentenced by the chief Justice to
Imprisonment and to pay a fine. Dr.
Raffel instructed the police authorities
to release Herr Grosmuhl, whose fine
was subsequently fxed at $1,000.
The German consul. Herr Rose,
thereupon wrote to the American con-
sui. Lloyd w. Osbourne. and the British
consul. E. b. s. Maxse. protesting that
the action of the chief justice in filming
Herr Grosmuhl was an infringement
of German consular rights. Messrs.
Osbourne and Maxse Jointly replied In
their official capacity that, the proper

offered for the behavior toward Chief
Justice Chambers. At the same time
