His Charming Sister!

From the Denrcr Post
Ihave the sweetest sister ever bloomed in beauty's
Awinsome little angel full OF innocence and grace;
II you could see the charming girl you'd grant mo
For saying she would knock most any male heart
of its basel
There's ripping music in her laugh. it seems In
Her smile would melt the coat OF ice from woman
Though but my sister by her charms my heart is
Is pierced from suburbs clear to core by cupids
singing dart!
Her pretty face an angel from the upper realms
sm,ling face set in a frame of semi golden hair:
All! that sweet. winsome frontspiece! to see TO
No man susceptible Of heart could scape its wait.
Her teeth OF porceansh tint set in their rosy portal
Seem far too pure to chop at such avulgar thing az
hash!
I'll bet my erthreht gains. dime no other female
Such lovely teeth of natural growth upon the eyes
can flash!
Her hands beautiful In shape and verv well she
Her trrt-weu them I never saw. but dainty arc
Her nose i u the Grecian build and when the dar
The melody il sweater than an orchestra of hutes'
Her gentle voice falls on the ear like golden love
1t holds me in a waking trance that seems almost
BIT in this rambling offhSnd verse scarce can give
OF ali the charms possessed by that sweet sister
dear of mine.
You're no doubt wondering Just why the bloomin
' deuce fellow
Should group the leakinRs of his brain in poetic
Should thew the rag of poesy and sccally below
such hifalutin Language to exploit sisterspraise
The thing IL to me, you know, and hence It is
Such tumsful fuel on the FIRE to keep her charms
lisa new experience most devilishly novel;
| She's only been my sister since ! popped to her

The Church Of England.
(From the Indianapolis News.)

1t is, of course, dangerous business, even to
suggest the possibility of the disestablishment of
the Church of England There have been so
many prophecies of this Sort and the church has
lived through SO many dark and gloomy days
that the thoughtful liman is naturally somewhat
cautious about attempting to forecast its future
There are, however, a few things involved in
the present struggle that seem to distinguish it
from all that have gone before. In the first
place, no one thought. in the beginning of the
present campaign against ritualism, anything
about dsestablishment That was apparently,
the aim of no formidable party. Many of the
most loyal of the Ghurch-men who would
not think of disestahsishment, except last re-
sort-are engaged in the movement TO put Il
check to ritualistic tendencies in the English
Church. Even now there probably few of
them who are willing to contemplate such pos
sibility. So. whatever forte the movement has is
spontaneous, and the movement is all the more
dangerous in that il isifavorcd by some men
who look on it thing to be regretted in it
self, but who. nevertheless. are coming to feel
that if they not =. have national church
without rituaiism they had better get along
without a national church.

MoToRMAN NOT TO BLAME.
Jury's Verdict on the Death of Mrs.
Jessie Holderman.

The inquest into the death OF Mrs. Jes-
sic Holderman, who died from injuries re-
ceived by being struck by car on the
Metropolitan Railway, on East Capitol
Street between Sixth and Seventh, yes
terday afternoon, was held at No. police
station this morning at II o'clock. Deputy
Coroner Glazebrook commenced the en-
quiry in the absence of Coroner Carr, but
the latter arrived during the testimony Of
the first witness and assumed charge.
The family OF the dead woman was rep
resented at the inquest, and George B.
Hoover, associate counsel for the railroad
company, looked after its interests.
Col Oliver c. Sabin was the first wit
ness. He testified that he left his office
a. O'Clock and Soarded car going east.
When he reached Sixth Street he noticed
a lady riding a bicycle by the side of the
car. He thought the lady rode alongside
the car for some distance. The car stop
ped and she rode on ahead. When the car
started again. IL went faster than the
wheel When the wheel was about
eight feet from the car Mrs
HoIderman struck small piece of
track. The witness thought the fender
struck the wheel and the back OF the wo-
mans head struck the step of the car.
The car was not going at high rate OF
.Deed, the witness stated. The motorman
did all in his power to stop.
DR.. GlazebrC.o:l, Deputy Coroner of the
District of Columbia, was the next witness.
He stated that he examined the body.
Death was due TO cerebral hemorrhage,
the witness stated, produced by fracture
at the base of the skull
of n n
Street southeast, was a passenger on the
car and told Of the accident from her point
of view Her story was substantially the
same as that of Colonel Sabin.
DR. C. r. Demarest was then called and
stated that he was summoned by the con-
ductor to attend a woman who had been
struck by his car. He found her dead
when he arrived. Death, he thought, was
due to a fracture of the skull at its base.
Motorman E. W Mendenhall was sworn
| and stated that when coming down East
Capitol Street he stopped the car at every
| street He noticed the woman on the
wheel come out of Fifth Street and turn
| into East Capitol After leaving Sixth
| Street the conductor signaled him to stop
| at Seventh. There is an alley between
| Sixth and Seventh streets where the car
| usually stops. He threw off the current
/ at this point, having seen pile of snow,
and he wanted before turning on the cur
rent again to see where the wheelwOman
| would 90 to avoid the snow. She did not
| appear to go ahead and he then started 10
| pass her. Just as the car reached her, the
bicycle struck the heap of snow and fell
against the right hand corner of the car.
| He tried TO stop and rang his gong. After
| the accident he took the names of the
| witnesses in the car.
The jury retired after the motorman 5
| testimony, and in few moments returned
a verdict of accidental death for which no
| one can be held responsible.
