Poet Laureate's Tribute.

The following ode, from the pen OF
Sir Alfred Austin, the poet laureate,
made its appearance on the S0th an.
niversary of Queen Victoria's birth
day, May oath:
Spring was Towering In your fair young face
When first the scepter laid on you its load
Springtime and seed time and how
well you sowed
In the rou furrows life's long duties trace,
Scattering with lavish heart the smiles oi
youth and grace.
o. what harvest, lady. now is yours.
Empire and fame and glsry, and above
Glory and fame-a universe's love-
Love rooted deep in reverence that insures
Remembrance of your name as long as time
endures.
Long may the Indian summer of your days
Yet linger in the land you love so well;
And long may we, who no less love you,
dwell
In the reposeful radiance of your gaze.
A golden sunset, seen through autumn's sill
very haze.

Difficulty Experienced in Getting to

Chief Mayes was in the city
about fifteen minutes last night.
Desiring to get home to Pryor
Creek, from Wagner, he came to
this place on the flyer and turned
back on No. 3, the former not
stopping at his town. If Mr..
Mayes will just come up to Vinita
and build a house, even though it
has to be on one of those park lots
"his boys might buy" as he said
when he signed the bill, he will ex-
perience no difficulty. All trains
stop at Vinita, and the gentleman
would find Vinita very pleasant
place to live, and he would be very
warmly welcomed,

vlNlTAGIRL WITH A WHIP.
A Former Resident Acquires
Notoriety.

Former guests at the Cobb house
in this city, and numbers of others
In Vinita, will recollect Anna
Bernett, who worked at the hotel
named some years since, and will
be concerned in reading the follow
ing item from yesterdays Globe
Democrat:
Central City, Kan, May 25.-A
sensational horse whipping affair
has set this town agog. Jack Ev-
EFT, carpenter of Miami, |. t.,
who recently located here, and
Miss Anna Bernett. hotel keeper,
were the principals. Evett had
made some remarks about Miss
Bernett. She promptly procured
rawhide whip and publicly
thrashed Evett. His cries were
heard for several blocks. After
his treshing, he left on the first
electric car for Joplin. There was
talk OF having Miss Bernett arrest
ed, but her friends blocked such a
move"
Anna Bernett is the sister of
Mayme, who lived at Mr.. Mil
ford's all winter and attended
school at the academy, and she
herself worked at the same place
for month, something over year
ago. The family, or rather the
for the father strayed off
and at last accounts his wherea-
bouts were unknown, lives at Mi
ami, and conducts bakery. Miss
Bernett always conducted herself
in proper manner in this city,
but the spirit she possessed war
ranted the expectation OF just the
course she pursued, as told above.

THE "COMPLETED" CITY HALL.

7 is reported that at the next meeting of the Board
/ of Supervisors the commission which for upward
OF twenty years has been engaged in completing
the City Hall will turn it to the Building Com
mittee The architect of the commission is going to
make a report upon what it will cost to put the edi-
fee in good condition, which includes the adding of
wanscot of California marble to the main cor
r;dors. When this report is presented Supervisor
Holland as chairman OF the Building Committee OF
the Supervisors will move to accept the City Hall
and thereafter responsibility for maintaining and
completing will be transferred from the City Hall
Commission to the Board Of Supervisors.
Early in January last the City Hall Commission
presented its final report and asked the Supervisors
to take the municipal elephant off its hands but the
latter declined do the ground that the plumb
ing is in bad shape that the iron cornces falling
away that many of the rooms unfinished and
that great deal Of money will have to be expended
before the building is completed 1t seems howeevr,
that the Supervisors have not been able to make
their point The commissioners have money with
which to comply with their demands and it is case
OF either accepting the hall leaving it without an
owner.
refer to the historical data which appears in the final
report of the City Hall Commission.
The work Of excavating for the structure began on
March 28, 1871. The cornerstone was laid Feb
ruary 22, 1872 and the building completed" on
December 80, 1893 The original estimate of the cost
was ST., 100000. The amount received from the sale
OF the City Hall lots, which it thought would pay
for all the work, $o53ooo. Up to December 80
last the edfce had cost $5,723o87 1t is estimated
that it will take 100000 more to complete" it.
The total cost so far does not seem extravagant
when everything is considered in connection with the
City Hall If we had building constructed a
modern plan and furnished with modern improve
nents, supplied with ventilating and heating sys-
tens and with rooms adapted for conducting the pub
lie business, perhaps the people would have no
ground for complaint But in place OF modern City
Hall we have dark and dismal pile of masonry, un-
healthy, cold, unsuppled with ventilation artificial
heat designed to exclude sunshine and air, and
chitecturally horrible nightmare. Under the cir
cumstances the public has a right to begrudge the
MONEY!
The San Francisco call., 1899-03-26

reviews the condition of manufacturing trades in the
Eastern States and notes large number OF instances
where wages have been increased or notices given o
increase take place in the near future. A still
more comprehensive summary has been made for the
Southern Mississippi Valley States by the ST. Louis
Gobe-Democrat, and the showing there is not less
prosperous than that in the East
In many OF the instances cited the increase of wages
affects large numbers OF workingmen Thus it is
ported from Boston that cotton mills representing
nearly half the spindles in New England will raise
wages on April by average of per cent for all
grades OF employees. These mills employ nearly o.
hands Several of the largest iron and steel manu-
facturers of Pennsylvania have raised wages 10 per
cent and single one of these the Bessemer Furnace
Company, has 1000 employees on its payrolls Similar
good reports are given from the manufacturing dis
trcts OF New York, Ohio and West Virginia.
The review made by the Globe Democrat shows
that since the enactment of the Dingley tariff there
have been established in Missouri new industries
representing investment of $7682,ooo OF capital
employing 8oo2 persons and paying $3,71o,ooo an
nually in wages. In Illinois the industries have
a capital of $2S2I 900, employ 3o53 persons and pay
81 1851 600 annually in wages. In Kansas S2o84,ooo
new capital has been invested furnishing work to
26o4 persons and paying annually SI,313,ooo IN
wages In Texas the investments amount to S9I5,ooo
the number of hands employed to 664, and the annual
wages to $36o,ooo In Arkansas the new capital in
vested equals $I27oooo, persons employed 1913, and
wages $I,421ooo annually
These statistics very far from representing the
magnitude of the increase OF industry and wages but
they serve to show the tendency prevailing from
New England to Texas. They attest the value OF the
protective tariff to all parts of the Union and to all
classes of citizens William Mckinley has fully just-
fed the people who during the campaign OF 1896
gave him the title "The advance agent of prosper
ity" The food tide of industrial activity and good
wages has fairly started in the East and is flowing
westward fast. Californians this may expect
not only good crops but good prices. The outlook
shows something OF promise to every hope OF the in
dustriOus.

THE FIRST DUTY OF THE CITY.

n THOUSAND things in the way of improve
| | ment and reform await the action OF the ofh-
cals or the citizens OF San Francisco and may
be permitted wait for time, but there IS one
thing to be done at oncea better home and abiding
place must be prepared for the unfortunateS who are
sritten with pestllential diseases.
The victims OF these dread pests not criminals,
and vet the community for its own protection i'm
prisons them in a hospital shut out from the world
at large The very nature OF their affection deprives
them OF the ordinary and fashionable miniStrations
OF charity. They cannot be visited by the members
OF the flower Missions nor cheered by the consola-
tions OF friends or relatives. They cut off from
the common intercourse of men, and in their isola
ton are speedily overlooked and almost forgotten
Even the official world neglects them, and it would
seem that they out OF the pale OF humanity.
The isolation imposed upon them is not in itself
wrong 1t is necessary for the general good Science
commends, law authorizes it, and religion approves
it. Nevertheless science, law and religion alike de-
mand that it should be accompanied by every allie
Walton that civilization can provide The home OF
the unfortunates should be comfortable it should be
clean warm and suitable to the needs of the sick 1t
should have something OF brightness to tighten the
gloom OF its halls and to relieve far possible
the depression that falls upon its inmates in their
loneliness
The building which San Francisco has provided for
the unOrtunates IS the very reverse OF all that 1t
should be. 1t has not one redeeming quality. 1t is
hardly more than a shanty, and is very dapidated
shanty at that A member OF The Call staff who Wis
tied the place reports that the walls insecure
they have be propped UP to prevent them from fall
ing The decayed rafers cannot hold the roof boards
and the shingles nailed upon them The shingles are
swept off from time to time by the wind, and when
the rains come the water drips into almost every
apartment in the building.
The scenes described by our reporter need no
strong language to make them impressive to the
dcrstanding. On beds upon which sick patients are
lying to prevent the whole bed from being saturated
buckets have be placed to catch the water as it
drips. In the dining-room the table has been
crowded to one corner to avoid the rain. Pools OF
water lie upon the floors in bedrooms, dining
rooms and corridors The whole place is in state OF
diapidation and reeks with the foulness OF decay
which the best efforts OF the nurses and those in
charge are unable to overcome.
1t is not worth while say Of this that it is dis
grace to the city. Any comment would but be
waste of words The only thing to say is that new
home for pest-strcken patients be provided at
once. The appeals to municipal duty and to pri-
vate charity and before another Sunday dawns upon
US something should be undertaken to relieve the
sufferngs OF those who have so many claims upon
humanity
