The AIbnnx CnnitnI Guidc.

One of the first things done by a
stranger visiting Albany, says the Phil
adelphia Call, is to pay 20 cents and
put himself at the mercy of a capitol
guide. The guide makes a profound and
obsequious bow, like a prestidigitator
about to charm an audience and pro-
ceeds to lift the veil which hides the
mysteries of the great building.
On a recent occasion the guide led
the stranger regretfully past ''McGin-
tvs empty frame and proceeded to
identify the heads of notables that deco
rate the stairway. He did fairly well
until the stranger pointed out Shakes
peare and Homer and asked who they
were.
''Them, replied the guide, undaunt-
ed, care the heads CT two politicians
whose names / disremember.

A DARK SHADOW.

never saw my mothers face;
God drew a shadow DER my baby eyes,
And there il lies.
Unchanged by time or place;
But have felt her loving breast
Breathe heart sore signing for the joys miss
And felt her kiss
Upon my eyelids pressed
never saw Gods lovely world,
But have listened TO the whispering trees
And felt the breeze
That springs sweet leaves uncurled-
never gazed upon rose,
But have laid the flower against my cheek
And heard God speak
And mysteries disclose
And he has made me understands;
Though dark the shadow that now holds me
blind,
God is behind.
Unseen feel his hand
And know that from my darkened eyes
The lifelong shadow will be rolled away
One solemn day.
oh, rapturous surprised
Ny happy lips cen now must sing.
These eyes. urclosing in the streets of gold,
Will first behold
The face of Christ, my King

DIR. SCHELL RESIGNS.

The DR.. SChell case which caused
such disturbance in the Epworth
league has come to a sudden ending.
DIR. Schell resigned after the follow
ing report was made by the com
mittee:
ave find the Epworth league 10
be in a state of unrest by reason Of
the agitation over the official con-
duct of General Secretary Edwin
A. Schell, d. ID. This unrest seems
to be due IN part to the serious Off
cial wrong of the secretary himself,
in part to the misconception of the
action of the board of control at its
meeting at indianapolis, caused by
the reading of the statement of a
serious official wrong, a moral ju,lg-
ment which it did not express, and
had no authority to express, and in
part to arraignments and criticisms
based upon flying rumors of ire
sponsible parties, unsupported by
proper evidence, whose currency
has been fitted to mlslead and defeat
rather than to promote the ends OF
truth and justice"
DR.. Schell considered himself vim
dictated by this report, but as the res
olution seems to have a double
meaning, it can be construed to SUIT
either party to the controversy. Rev
Thirkfield, of Atlanta, Ga, was
chosen his successor.

Election Still Unsettled

Louisville, Ky, Nov 23.-The last Of
the official returns have now been certi-
fled by the county boards of canvassers
and probably WITHIN week the state
election commissioners at Frankfort
will begin their task of determining
which ticket was elected Nov.7. The
Jefferson county canvassers today
heard argument OF counsel on motion
to throw out the vote of the city of
Louisville on the ground of alleged in
timidation by soldiers, who were called
out by Governor Bradley election day.
The republicans took the grOuDd that
the board had no Jurisdiction, being
empowered simply to count and tabu-
late the votes. This view was sus-
tanned, and the matter now goes to the
state election board, where no doubt
the motion of the democrats will be re-
newed.
A number of additional indictments
were returned today by the federal
grand jury against alleged violstors of
election laws.

why the Fiend's Case Has Been Post
poned for the Third Time-GirI
Unable to- Appear.
The Rochester Sentinel gives the fol-
lowing reason for the delay in the trial
of Roy Jones, the abductor of Nellie
Berger: "The Nellie Berger abduction
and rape case against Roy Jones Will
not be tried at Peru for the present
reason that Nellie is not now and may
never be able to appear in court to tes-
tify. She is again confined to her bed
and physicians who have examined her
pronounce her case an incurable one.
She may live only short time and then
again she may live for years and her
suffering is sure to be most circulating
for both mind and body. Owing to the
fact that the people have grown some
what restless over the delay of Jones'
trial, which was again indefinitely post
poned on petition of the prosecution,
the Peru officials were asked by tele-
phone for a frank statement of the
cause and their reply was TO the effect
that the poor girls forced association
with Jones had resulted in her allictiOn
with an incurable cantagion. This is
not given out as an injustice TO the IN
fortunate, suffering girl, but instead to
arrest any suspicion of wilful delay on
the part of the Bergers and the prose
cution The Sentinel shrnks from the
publication of such particulars, but the
whole array of facts of that fiend Jones,

lie which took SO much interest in hunt.

hands of the general assembly of
knip hts of Labor ut It's recent SEES
sion III Boston. The president was
characterized by resolution as 'sthc
bitter enemy of labor" and labor
was urged 70 use its votes against
him and his associates. Strong
ground was taken also against com
binations of capital, known as
trusts. and the order also declared
its opposition to the foreign policy
of the administration in its efforts
to subjugate the Filipinos by con
quest, and also opposes the extern
of our territory beyond the limits
of this continent, believing such
policy contrary to American princi-
piles, the American peoples inter
ests and the interests of the great
mass of working people. This is
pretty plain talk and if it represents
the sentiment of the mass of labor

Where Roberts il Strong.

The qualifications necessary to en-
title man 10 become member of the
national house of representatives are
simple. They are, first, an election TO
il, and the certificate of an election is
conclusive evidence on this point if the
seat is not disputed. Next, he con-
stitution declares that mo person shall
be representative who shall not have
attained the age OF 20 years and been
seven years citizen Of the United
States and who shall, when elected, be
an lnhabltant of the state in which he
shall be chosen" That is all.
We do not see why Mr.. Roberts can
be excluded from taking his seat while
he has complied with these provisions.
He may later be expelled from it by a
two-thirds vote of Its members, but I'M
der the circumstances this extreme ac-
ton impresses US as of doubtful justice
or expediency. If the object is to put
az end TO the feeble practice of
polygamy yet remaining in Utah it
would better, we think, be achieved by
more direct national action Boston
