PAUL AND VIRGINIA.

In the lovely isle of France
 (NOw it's called Mauritius) Lived the children of romance,
 Children most delicious. Each had no papa at all,
 Each loYing mother; And the one was christened Paul Virginie the other. So they loved like you and me, Pretty Pau, and Virginie. Loved each other best of all, Pretty Virginie and Paul. But their happiness entailed
 Grief to wreck and rack it; Virginie for Europe sailed
 By the monthly packet. When she journeyed home again, In his arms to nestle, Suddenly a hurricane
 Took and smashed the vessel. And she cried across the sea,
 Love, swim out to Virginie.'' But he answered to her call,
 Dearest, swim ashore to Paul." But, alas! for her and him,
 Though beset by dangers, She could not prepare to swim, For the crew were strangersI So she waited by the mask,
 Duly gCwned and bOdiced, And was washed ashore at last Drowned. but strictly modest: So she died, and so did he. All for love of Virginie; And their mothers one and all Died for Virginie and Paul.

DUNGEONS OF MANILA.
Subterranean Explorations Described
by a Kansas Soldier

Dy Kansas soldier
Nortonville Sept. 14.-Ralph S. Geh-
retr, a young Jefferson county soldier
with company c, Twentieth Kansas, has
written an interesting letter home to
NOrtOnVilIe friend, telling of a visit to
a Spanish dungeon. While on duty in
Manila, after active service at the
front, he took it on himself to make a
few explorations, and he visited sub
terranean prisons constructed over 400
years ago. Private Gehrett in his let
ter. under date of July 25. says:
1.-The papers have no doubt kept you
informed of the dOings of the Twentieth
Kansas. I only wish to say have
taken an active part in every engage
ment the regiment has had, and have
been lucky enough to come out without
a puncture. Well, our fighting days
are over. We were relieved from duty
on the firing line at San Fernando on
the oath of June, and since then have
been quartered in the Quartz de Espan
in the old walled City of Manila, and
have settled down to be good little tin
soldiers again.
Il must tell you something about the
walls that surround and fortify the
city They were built by Gomez Das-
masinaS in 1880, and are today, al
though covered with moss and creeping
vines, in a good state of preservation,
and, with their parapets, moats, pom
derOuS gates and draw bridges, consti-
tute a most curious relic of the Mid
die Ages. A few days ago my bunky
and 1 took a notion to go through the
dungeons, secret passages and rooms
with which the old wall is hOneycOmb-
ed. We took a couple of lanterns, brib-
ed the guard at the entrance, and in all
visited about 80 rooms. When we got
fairly inside we put out the lanterns
for minute, and the darkness was
horrible. Think of being confined for
life in the dark, damp, foul-smelling
holei In several rooms we found skulls
and different parts of a human skele-
ton, with Shiny lizards and big, gauut
gray rats sinking and crouching in the
corners. oh, what terrible stories those
dank, reeking walls could tell if they
could only speak, What tales of the
horrible silence, of thirst, starvation,
madness and deathi And as 1 stood in
the uncertain flicker of the lantern
light and watched a lizard as it crawl
ed sluggishly into the empty eye sock
ct of a grinning skull, I could not SUP
press shiver of fear, and thank God
that the time of such things are past,
at least on this island.
From that chamber we climbed a
flight of spiral stairs and into cham
ber that at one time had been used al a
magazine for the storage of ammuni-
ton. 1t had a pile of old, smooth-bore
cannon balls in it that, from their
for the last 100 years. We visited many
other rooms, each one having some
thing in it to sicken the heart and dis
gust me.
1T was with a sigh Of relief that we
emerged from that living tomb into the
brightness of Gods sunshine and fresh
air. I wish you could see all / have
described. 1t is sight once seen never
forgotten"

NEAR DISSOLUTION.
Trust Conference Dwindles and
Nearly Ends In a Row.

Chicago, Sept. 14.-The second days
session of the trust conference opened
here today with VIM. Writ Howe of
New Orleans in the chair and a falling
off in attendance of both delegates and
spectators.
business by putting before the house
resolution introduced by F. G. Farr of
Missouri for the appointment of the
important committee on resolutions He
called for a committee of 10 to be sell
lected by Chairman Howe. To this
committee all resolutions, according to
Mr.. Farr were to be referred without
reading, or debate. The motion IN
stantly developed the under current of
strife between the factions for and
against trusts which yesterday threat
ened the conventions harmony.
An amendment was Immediately pro-
posed, various speakers vigorously ufg-
ing that the resolution be amended to
allow the appointments to the commit
tee by the delegates themselves, one
committeeman from each state.
The original motion was not acted
upon, but the amendment in regard to
the manner of appointment was car
ried by a standing vote-99 to IA.
The pro-trust people and the ants
were fearful, it became evident, that
one side or the other would secure con-
troll and bind the minority to something
of which they diSapprOVed.
Edward RoSewater. editor of the
Omaha Bee, won applause in an in
formal speech in which he declared that
the people of the United States had the
courage of their convictions. He aver ed
that the conference should adopt such
resolutions as it saw fit.
1t remained for w. Bourke Cochran
to repeat his performance OF yesterday
when he restored the harmony which
was lost in an endeavor to secure
committee on programme.
Upon his suggestion 1T was finally
decided that the committee on resolu-
tions consist of not only one represen-
tative of each state delegation but of
each national organization.
To this committee it was resolved
that all resolutions be referred with
out reading or debate.

One Of the Best Shows In Kan
sas This Fall
Will Be the EmpOria Street
Fair and Stock Exhibit.
2 DAYS OF PLEASURE.
Flower Parade and Flower Pa
rade Ball a Feature.
Handsome Booths and Mar
shali's Band For Music.

Emporia. Sept. 1.-THE street fair
to be held here September q and %.
promises to be eclipsed only, perhaps,
by one event in Kansas this year, the
Atchison corn carnival. The commit
tee have offered liberal prizes for street
fair exhibitors without entrance fee.
In connection with the fair will be a
stock and grain exhibit An attrac-
tive feature will be the flower parade
for which young ladies and children are
already preparing. There will be a
flower parade ball which will be a
fancy dress affair The dance will be
held in a big 70X110 feet tent with can
vassed floor and MarshalPs band to fur
nish the music. Some of the street
booths will be really magnificent, as the
merchants are taking great pains to
OutdO each other.
1t is announced that this will be a
clean, moral show with no midway fea-
lures, no streets of Cairo"
The success of the carnival is assured
in advance if the weather man does his
part.
The programme committee of the
fair have cleaned up everything in the
way of parades in the second day of
the fair, the 2Sth, that nothing may
mar the day when the old settlers have
their picnic. That day is expected to
be the big day of the fair. The fair
management will give the old settlers
a brass band and furnish them with
such other entertainment as the old
settlers committee desires.
And to no single person is this fact
more due than to w. A. White, editor
of the Emporia Gazette.
