him that there was a small and unobtrusive

was but a step. He accepted the box-ofice

nature-a faith that nothing ever has or

device to place themselves on the free list.

In June. a fair World Beautiful one sees:
The elements In true love-feast unite.
And earth abounds In music. mirth. and light:
Glad song-ioods surge and swell through swaying
trees,
The blossom-folk cast incense on the breeze.
And lavish Nature seems almost too bright.
We tremble lest this loneliness take flight.
So oft joys sparkling cup has bitter lees
But June's most magic hour Is last deferred
When through Nights portals giides the regal
moon.
And tender love-notes OF the wooing bird
Blend with the drowsy cricket's slumb'rous rum
on. then. indeed. our full. full hearts are stirred
By all the mingled pain and Joy OF June.

A WOMAN OF THE sLUMs.
She Was a Good Mother and Brought

Ella W. Tedttie, III SelINuitufS.
It would be unfair to the women whose
lot is cast in the slums to insinuate that
all of them permit their children to run
wild upon the streets. There was once a
woman born in Scotland. who came to this
country with six small children and lived
wherever 1t was cheapest TO live, or where
It most convenient. This was often over
his machine shop in a grimy neighborhood
near the coal bunkers and In the midst OF
manufactures and mills. Yet somehow her
children were not contaminated. They were
born to a heritage OF cleanliness. and they
naturally avoided that which was dirty and

THE SENATORIAL CONTEST
Rumor Has II That senator Quay Has De
olded to Withdraw.

Harrisburg, March i4-The forty-eiehth
ballot for United States Senator to-day was
AS follows: Quay 92 jerks 20; Dalzeli IS;
scattering 80; total, PIG. Senator Quay was
again seventeen short Of an election.
There have been frequent intimatious
since the fight was begun early ia January
that Senator Quay contemplated withdrawing
from the contest, but these rumors have
proven groundless by subsequent events
The Senator's friends in command here in
cluding ex-senator Andrews, ex-senator
Coylo, who has attained such unenviable
notorety during the past few days. Frank
yelling Leach and others, have repeatedly
denied these rumors, and it is said these men
are reluctant in allowing the Senator to
withdraw.
1t is well known that Senator Quay and the
members Of his family are anxious to end the
contest, and the latter are especially urgent
in their wishes that he should retire. A
prominent Quay lieutenant, who held con-
ference with Quay just previous to his
departure for the South, is authority for the
statement that Quay remarked IF the
deadlock is not broken by the end Of next
week l shall withdraw as Senatorial
candidate"
1t is well known that Quay entered the
contest against his own desires in the first
place, and was forced in the fight by his
lieutenants Whom he will favor in the
event of his withdrawal, is not definitely
known but it is generally conceded that
Quay is master Of the situation. and the man
he selects can be elected-the man be opposes
will necessarily be defeated.
1t becomes more apparent every day, as
the bribery investigation proceeds that the
committee will not stop at half way measures.
As to the scope of the committee great deal
Of testimony that will involve those now ap-
parently above reproach will be produced
during the week. There is no telling how
far the probe will sink or how high it will
reach. The committee is playing with dyna-
mite. 1t is generally believed arrests will
follow before the week is out, as the Business
Mems League is not paying out 81, 900 rewards
Tor information for the fun of the thing.
Measures have already been taken to gather
callateral and corrobontive testimony to
prove statements made on the witness stand.
Chairman Fow has called meeting of the
committee for tomorrow evening. Two
witnesses from Scranton, not members OF
the Legislature, who are said to have val
liable testimony, have been summoned.
Representative Smith, Of Cameron, will also
testify tomorrow night.

SAMOAN
TREATY !
The Three Treaty Powers Have
Reached an Agreement.
KINGsHIP LEFT IN ABEYANOE.

That Matter VIII Be Adjusted when
Each of the Powers Have Had OPP
portunity TO Secure FUN Informa-
tion-samoans WIN BE Consulted.
Washington. March 14.-After numer-
Gus conferences and the exchange OF
notes between Secretary Hay, the Brit
ish ambassador and the German ambas-
sador. a satisfactory understanding has
been reached between the three powers
Interested in Samoa as to the conditions
there. This seeks to open a new ac-
count In the affairs OF Samoa, and 60
obliterate the troubles among officials
which have recently occurred there. To
this end DR. Wilhelm Solf, who has
been nominated by Germany ns presi-
dent Of the municipal council az Apia, 10
succeed DR. Raffcl, will be recognized by
the British and United States authori-
ties. Already this recognition is as
sured. but il remains for the Consuls a.
Apia to carry It into formal effect. in
accordance with the letter Of the treaty
OF Berlin. In order that this may pave
the way to an agreeable and harmonious
adjustment DR. Solf will 90 10 London
and make himself acquainted with the
authorities there and afterwards come
to Washington and become acquainted
with our officials so that there may be
mutual understandings DR.. Solf will
reach Washington the latter part Of this
month. He will then proceed 10 Samoa,
reaching there in May. His assumption
of the municipal presidency, with the al.
proval Of the three powers is expected TO
smooth out matters among the officials
and go a long way toward adjusting the
entire matter.
The officials Of the three powers have
decided not to attempt a settlement OF
the Samoan kingsbip for the present.
That is left open for adjustment when
each OF the three powers have had ap-
opportunity to secure full information. In
the meantime the statu quo is to be
maintained. The last advices indicated
that Mataafa was exercising de fncto
kingship, while Malietoa was on board
the British ship Porpoise and had the
support of the British and American au-
thorities. According to the understand
ing reached there will be no move TO per
manantly establish one or the other Of
these claimants on the throne. The
best wishes Of the Samoan people will
be consulted, and with more agreeable
Ieellng among the omclals OF the three
powers the kingship will be settled by a
| full conference as soon as all the in
! formation on the subject is outlined.
! In the conferences leading up to the
present understanding il developed that
! DIR. Haffel was recalled from his post
| at Samoa last November, but he per.
sisted in staying after his recall, and hi.
| presence appears to have had much "a
do in precipitating the trouble. DR.. Solf
who succeeds him as president, is de.
scribed as an accomplished diplomat,
with service in Calcutta, and more re-
| Gently as district judge of the German
colony Of Dar-aSaam, in South Africa.
1t is post similar TO that OF Judge
Chambers in Samoa.
