TO THE MEMORY OF MY BROTHER

Two sad, lone weeks ago, and thou vert
here!
touched thy hand, l saw thy dear,
dark eyes;
kissed thy fevered lips, felt thee
near;
Ispoke, and listened to thy low re-
plies.
To-day the graves between us. Hill and
vale
Thy resting place from us doth hide.
ThrO' leafiess trees the wild winds wall
And weep beside thy grave on the
lone hillside.
So far thou art, who vert of late so
near!
The stars we watched have changed
not in the sky,
Thy gentle voice and footstep still we
hear,
Tho life and death between us lie.
But Burt, our boy, who not two weeks
ago
Passed calmly out beyond our yearn-
ing gaze,
We miss thee dear, and fain with thee
would go
To thy sweet rest beyond the gather
III
O, where art thou? In that celestial
realm,
With Jesus near, and with the Father
of light;
In that fair isle that no rude seas may
whelm,
Art thou, my brother, in thy Home
tonight.
Art thou not near US? There are those
who say
But breath divides our world from
thine,
A little cloud that may be blown away
A gossamer veil than spiders web
more fine.
Canst thou, a shadowy presence finger
near
Thy once loved haunts, the dear ones
thou didst love,
Where friends are weeping and OuT
home is drear?
O, dost thou look upon us from above?
But be thou far or near, it is the same;
From thee there floats message tho
the air.
A glad "All's WELL" comes to us in thy
name,
That we the joy of thy new life may
share. CLABIE TAYLOR.

The poem delivered by Mr.. Evins
was as follows:
dedicated to the memory of my friend.
Bart Fowler Taylor, died Jan. Z, 1899, 7:iO
p. m.
We are gathered here, this Sabbath
morn,
With tributes of love from hearts for
lorn;
Bereft of a son, a brother, friend,
All bow meath the blow, which God did
send.
Can it be that our friend is gone?
That We'll meier sgain see his face or
form?
Rut, oh, such life can know no end,
For "truth crushed to earth will rise
again"
Yes, rise in its might and forever stand
AS a monument to true and noble
man;
A man whose days have written their
story
With letters of gold in the Lambs Book
of Glory.
Burt, we miss you now-yes, always
will
A vacant chair in the circle, which none
but you can fill,
And when we meet on Saturday night,
Just as we used to do,
How can we have our roll call, and fail
to call for you!
Memory alone can bring you back-oh,
can this be true?
Are we never to hear the voice, whose
every note we knew?
Yes, methinks | hear il now, remember
every word,
As it fell from your lips then-the last
| ever heard.
awe turned a new leaf now, am going

And will not be in town-not a single

Look for me on Saturday night, for

Not tn his loving mother, but to meet

Col. e.. Harrison Parker and ID.

difficulty in New Orleans last Mon
day afternoon. Col. Parker, who
is prominent Democratic leader,
had been car1catured by O'Malley's

O'Malley was protected by two

Parker's position a very difficult one
and making the struggle exceed
ingly disadvantageous to the latter,
who, despite this fact succeeded in
intlicting very serious wound
upon his antagonist. Two bullets
from O'MalIey's pistol found lodg-

it is not believed that either wound
will be attended with any serious

THE CONFZ CR4 TON At
NE W IBERIA
THE

During the last week the people
Of New Iberia have been sorely
tried. A large portion of that
thriving little city was destroyed by
fire, two or three hundred thousand
dollars worth of property being
consumed by the flames.
1t is unfortunate that our neigh
bors should be visited b, so dsas-
trous ConhaSration particularly
at this time when they are making
have recently given a splendid evil
denCe Of their public spirit by vot-
ing a tax for needed improvements
and the town was on the eve of
gratifying most laudable ambition
to take front ranks among the pro-
gressive modern places of this sec.
ton. The evil results following so
cafam1tous a blow, inflicted at this
season of the year when the mer-
chants have their stores we'll stocked
with goods, can hardly be over esti-
mated. Not only di1 the fire at
New Iberia destroy scores of val
liable buildings, but immense stocks
of merchandise went up in smoke.
The loss is inconceivably large and
will no doubt be s, rely felt Only
the we'll known energy of our neigh
bnrs will in time overcome it. They
have in the past suffered greatly at
the hands of the fire demon and will
doubtless pull through the present
crisis with their char acterislic spirit
OF progress. In their misfortune
the. have the sincere sympathy Of
their 1-eighbors Of Lafayette who
extend to them the glad hand Of
fellowship.

"This controversy between Ilayti
and Germany over the Lucders case"
said an Old resident to Washington
Star reporter recently, "bcings TO my
mind the fact that the United States at
one time at least during my life showed
the same spirit that Germany did in de-
mandiug an indemnity at the point of
gun. The incident happened just aft
er the close of the war and was about
the same kind of affair. The Brazilian
government had imprisoned or treated
an American citizen in some outrageous
way, and the American minister at Rio
Janeiro, acting on his instructions, de-
manded a. indemnity. He was put Off
from day to day, and finally from week
to week. until he made up his mind that
he was either going to do his duty or
lose his position, SO he said nothing
more about the matter. but waited for
United States war ship to anchor in
the harbor. When the vessel arrived he
quietly moved his effects from the le-
CATION to the boat and then announced
to the powers in Brazil that he had To-
Gated the United States legation on the
deck of United States war ship, and
that unless that indemnity was forth
coming in three hours he would shell

There is no record that the bicycle

using its presentment for that pur-

husband while out wheeling, and or
dered sculptor to depict the meet
ing, bicycles and all, on the marble
gravestone in alto relieve. The effect
is described as more novel than ar

ENGLAND'S COAL SUPPLY.
Is NcrvousIy DiscusHinR It's Possible
Exhaustion.


Once again England nervously is dis
cussing the possible exhaustion OF her
coal supply, which forms the backbone
of her commercial supremacy. Leon
ard Courtney, as president of the Sta
tistical society, this week more than
confirms Prof. Jevons' view that the
supply will be in peril within an or
binary lifetime. The output for 1896
actually was 30 per cent. less than it
would have been if the rate of progress
in Jevons' time had been maintained.
While the British output has increased
less than 2h times since 1850. the
American output has increased tenfold,
while the American cost of output has
greatly increased. This confirms the
Spectators belief that America soon
will occupy position of unchallenged
supremacy in the industrial world.
England must adjust herself to a
smaller output of coal and iron, and a
readjustment of vocations.
"If," adds the Spectator, English
supremacy be destroyed, it will be not
through the failure of coal, but through
incapaeity to keep pace with the electric
development in America and Germany
