There is many a sorrow
Would vanish tomorrow,
And into darkness depart;
Did we not worship,
And constantly nurse it,
This sorrow, that grieves our heart.
There is many trouble
Would burst like bubble,
Did we but furnish the means;
But always intruding,
In quiet tits brooding,
And Matching most horrible dreams.
So let us be merry,
Light-hearted and cherry,
And put away sorrow and care;
Let us look for the sun,
And from trouble run,
And never sad face wear.

MAYOR MOORES SERIOUSLY ILL
Aggravated Attack of Pneumonia,

the Crisis Has Been Passed.

Mayor +. f. Moores lies at his home in
serious condition. a week ago he left
his office and went home unable for duty.
Pleuro- pneumonia developed and at times
tho condition of the mayor has been con-

He is still very i'll, but reports from DR..

and he is still in a serious condition." said
DR.. Coffman last night, but the most
active symptoms are subsiding and l think
he has passed the danger line"
At the mayors. residence it was stated
that he passed a quiet afternoon. but was
somewhat uneasy at night. Since his ILL
ness assumed serious turn he has suffered
more at night than in daytime. One of the

Friends OF the mayor have missed him
for the last week and although they knew
he was at home on account of sickness, the
serious nature OF his illness did not be-
come generally known until late Monday
afternoon.
One point in favor of the sick man is his
magnificent physique, which, with the tender
nursing at hand, will be a large factor in
bringing about his recovery.

UNCLE SAM WILL NOT AGREE
Hitch In the Samoan Treaty Over
Minor Points-Drnft of New
One Submitted.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-The United
States has declined to accept the agreement
as to the disposition of the Samoan islands
reached by Great Britain and Germany. L.
was possibly the leaking out of some infor-
nation to this effect that gave rise to the re-
port circulated in European capitals recently
OF the development Of a serious hitch in the
negotiations.
As matter of fact. there is no serious
hitch and the reasons which Influenced the
State department here in rejecting the Brit
ish- German arrangement when it was sub
mitted for approval related entirely to minor
matters and touched rather upon the form
than the substance of the arrangement.
Having rejected the tentative treaty sub
mitted by the other two powers our govern
ment has in turn, and at the instance OF the
other parties, prepared and submitted a
draft of a treaty which 1t is hoped Will be
acceptable to all three powers. This is now
before the foreign offices at London and Ber-
lin for consideration and it is confidently be-
lieved here that it will receive unanimous
approval, not differing in principle, as al
ready stated, from the original project

uprising against the Americans has been
planned for Thanksgiving day. Indeed the

news of it coming to army headquarters
Alarming rumors have been plentiful around
Havana; for instance, that this general or
that general is about to take to the woods
and it is apparently true that certain men
are nursing programs hostile to the Amer
leans.
1t is also fact that many Americans have
believed that If nothing is done toward CIV
ing the Cubans some deiinite assurances re-
garding the independence of Cuba there will
bo rising of some sort.
This morning there was a gathering CT
1000 people at the cemetery to commem-
orate the anniversary of the execution OF
eight Cuban students by Spanish volunteers
in 1871.
Last evening 500 Catalonians ran through
the streets of Vedado with standards, crying

ministers of this city. Resolutions were

that the conduct is especially to be depIored
in organizations connected with Christian

Federal Aid May he Invoked 10 Pro-

In Kentucky.

FRANKFORT, Ky, Nov. Ex-senator De-
boe left for Washington at s o'clock and
after his departure a story emanating from
republican circles was put abroad that in
the event Goebel is given certificate of
election next Saturday by the throwing out
of Jefferson, Knox and Johnson counties,
Senator Deboe, Senator Lindsay, Governor
Bradley, General Taylor and other repub-
lican leaders will unite in an appeal to
President Mckinley to declare martial law
in Kentucky recognizing Taylor as governor
and supporting his administration,
Senator Deboe stated to the Associated
Press that he felt confident no emergency
would arise requiring the assistance of the
federal authorities, but indicated that he
had assurances that federal aid could be

change in the situation here today on either
side. The expected move OF Goebel lead

A very large number of articles heretofore

PRISONERS SENT BACK TO LADYSMlTH

LONDON, Nov. 27.-(New York World Ca
blegram-specal Telegram.)-G. w. steev-
ems, the Daily Mail war correspondent, in a
mail letter describing Nicholson's Mex,
bears eloquent testimony to the humanity
of the Beers. He writes:
The Beers had their revenge for Dundee
md Elandsaagte. They took it in full
measure in kindness. AS Atkins had tended
their wounded and succored their prisoners
there they tended and succored him here.
One commandant wished to send the
wounded prisoners to Pretoria, but the
others were more prudent, as well as more
humane, and decided to send them back to
Ladysmith. They gave the men the water
out of their own bottles. They gave the
wounded the blankets off their saddles and
slept themselves on the naked veldt. They
were short of transportation. They were
mostly armed with Martinis yet they gave
the captured mules for hospital panniers
and captured Lee Metfords for splints. A
man was rubbing a hot sore on his head
with half crown and nobody offered to take
1t from him. Some of them asked the soldiers
for their embroidered waist belts me-
mentoes of the day. It's got my money in
it, replied Tommy, and the captor said no
more"
Stevens writes almost Historically of the
hosting of the white flag by British officers,
implying that it was done in Night, and
says that in one the British soldiers
refused to see it and kept on firing.

blegram-Special Telegram 1.-The Post
says:
For the first time since the war began
one is able to look at the map of South
Africa with a feeling of satisfaction. 1t
was impossible to draw any consolation from
contemplation of the several fragments along
the railway line to Natal. Now however,
a junction of these several parts brought
relief If not to Ladysmith, at least to those
watching the situation with fun sense OF
it's gravity. The Beers have let one more
chance slip through their fingers and we
trust it may be the last. Now we are be-
ginning to make headway against them. 1t
is possible to take an easier interest in
the movements of the enemy. Ioubert is
likely to make a fight at Colenso
"Buler's first business in Natal is nat
urally the relief OF Ladysmth. After that
when the invasion compels retreat to.Pre
toria, the Natal force will get it's chance
1t seems unlikely that an attempt will be
made to force the passes of Drankensburg.
The passes will open of their own accord
when the sound of thanking army is behind
them anywhere from Winburg road to xhe
Vaal. There is nothing alarming in the
circumstance that we have not heard from
Methuen since the fight at Gras Pan. He
is doubtless waiting for complete list of
our losses and only our ignorance as to
the return Of the mounted contingent makes
us anxious for news. There is no movement
forward to chronicle toward the Orange
river. At present it is difficult to see whence
the troops are coming to make forward
move secure"

ATTORNEY GARDINER ON SPIT
He Resists Service Papers on the I'm
munity Afforded by Legal
Holiday.

NEW YORK, Nov 27.-The Mazet leg.s-
lative committee today resumed it's nvesti-
cation of the city departments The most
important incident was the refusal OF Dis
trict Attorney Gardiner to testify. Governor
Roosevelt today announced that he would
appoint Ainsley Wilcox OF Buffalo to hear
the charges brought against Mr.. Gardiner
by the City club. At the hearing today Mr..
Mess read the affidavit of Edward j. Rear
don, who served Colonel Gardiner with a
subpoena to appear before the committee
this afternoon,
According to the subpoena server he had
met Mr.. Gardiner in an elevator IN the
criminal court building, and when he touched
him with the paper Colonel Gardiner said
81 do not recognize this as a legal service
as it is a legal holiday" Reardon insisted
on the service, and Gardiner said: you
are a id liar and have a mind to have
you arrested.
The investigation this morning was into
the methods Of the health board inspectors
and the disclosures were not important.
