LATER.
The report OF General Merriam upon
the Idaho riots WAS made public this
afternoon. Merriam disclsims all re-
sponsbility for the order OF refusing
employment to union men In the mines.
He says this regulation was drawn by
state authorities and his only connection
with II was to liberslizs certain OF its
provisions. after which he placed his name
at the bottom with the words: "Examined
and approved" Ii was not his inten-
tion that his troops should have any part
in debating the condition OF labor In
Idaho and they never did 80. The other
point which he makes Is that the prison

Since love is gone will everything seem dear
In day or night or season of the year.
The autumn twilight or the faint spring dawn?
Will anything seem sweet-since love is gone?
Since love is gone how shall 1 dare to go
Through old wood pathways that used to know,
Seeking in sheltered spots fower-faces sweet
And talking to the brook beside my feet?
Love was the only theme talked upon,
And will they know me now since love is gone?
Yet when 1 sought them in their soitudes
Of field, and hill, and overlapping woods,
They smiled at me in quite the same old way.
And listening close heard their voices say

And one is love and one is memory"

engagement at FL Pozo July I and at
San Juan on the I'd of July A fragment of
a Spanish shrapnel struck Gates in the face,
crushing his nose and carrying away his
lips, ard the teeth and gums of the upper
jaw. He lay for a while apparently dead,
and finally attempted to crawl off for med
zeal aid but was pulled back into the in
trenchments by his comrades, as a hail of
Mauser bullets was pouring in from the
Spanish line. He finally walked four miles
TO the hospital. where he was operated
upon. He was unable to see or speak until
he reached Fortress Monroe with other
wounded prisoners. on the 18th of July,

tated Within twenty-four hours the case
had been examined and Gates became the
first pensioner of the Spanish war. He then
came TO New York. where he was operated

ment. His pension Is Sl1 per month.

Did we but know. or could we see
The last loved lines that from thee,
The very last thy pen shall trace
Ere falls the curtain, hides thy face
And leaves the world a vacant place.
Did we but know could see,
The final stanzas left by thee,
We then might read far-famed rhyme
TO be remembered for all time,
Or simple lines of perfect art
Whose truth and beauty touched the heart.
Did but know, could we but see.-
But vain the thought, it cannot be;
Not thine the power, nor given me.
So bid the thought depart
May not our steps thine own precede
Our souls from earthly cares be freed,
And restful sleep be indeed,
Ere goest thou?
Too true, but men will live to sing thy praise
To bless the fullness of thy days.
Tho we may go our various ways,
Who linger now.
Thou too must go; the time will come
When all thy faculties grow numb;
Thy busy pen. inert and dumb
VIII silent lie
Far distant may that dread time be-
Dark day of deep soemnity
That whispers naught of melody,
Tho thou art nigh.
Then pay heed to feeting hours,
Sing the songs that tighten ours,
And charm us by their wondrous powers;
We ask no more
Favored of heaven whose gift thou hast,
o may its glory ever last,
Nor pass away till all is past,
And life be DER

A tender dusk pervades the silent room,
Save where the hre-light's glow dispels the gloom;
l sit in reverie;
a palsied prfs'ner in easy chair.
1 yet find life serenely sweet and fair.
For memry dwells with me.
Time was when I on tiny tripping feet
With wanton winds raced up and down the street,
Ny heart a-throb with Joy;
When this staid earth seemed wonderland,
And evry pebble sparkling in the sand
Was gold without alloy.
And now see in mem'rys magic glass.
Ny grlhood days in panorama pass
Those days of young delight;
unused and dreamed Ger epic and romance.
And wondered if with cleaning mail and lance
For me would come a knight.
o kind kind God who bade my dream come true.
o life, sweet life, that one day brought me you,
My lord. my hero-king!
moment rare, when clear and tenderly.
The words were said which made me yours to be.
Whate'er the future bring.
Swift sped the happy years; then sorrow came:
Wan child-lips tried in vain to lisp my name.
Small hands in mine grew chill.
Though with little one our glad joy fed.
A fuller sense of life came IN its stead,
And love was sweeter STILL
Time passed; again the ANGEL presence stole
To US, to lead to God homing soul
Your soul so brave and strong
You smiling said, Just out beyond the blue,
I'll ask of God~to let wait for you,
But dear one don't be long"
IT'S years since then-it was not mine to choose.
At eve 1 gaze beyond the sunset hues
OF rose and amethyst,
And think how blest is life down here below,
And yet, and yet, how gladly will go.
Sweetheart, to keep the tryst.

The Drive.

1.-THE eyes reveal what the spirit is doing"
Emerson.
Between the fading rift of copper glare,
Low down the west, and eastward's purple mist,
With crimson woods around us, sunset kissed
And lean old fences crawling on to where
The corn sheaves wooed the warning, frosty air,
We paused, nor did the steady mare resist
The idle, slow OBTAINING of the wrist
When word wanting, word and wish and
care
When, to consenting rein she stepped her way,
And God-intoxicated thoughts took tone
OF light concealing speech-when thou wouldst say
Some honor of that other woman. known
To be thy coming bride some coming day
One glance leaped forth between us-glance
alone.

TRIAL OF MRS. GEORGE.

CANTON (O), April 19.-The defense
in the trial of Mrs. George to-day at

the case and to show Saxton's reIa-

court barred out all such testimony ex-
cept in regard to Mrs. Althouse, say
ing Saxton's relations to other women
were not competent in this defense.
This, it is believed, will have a ten
