OH. Arthur Powell In New York Discovery
l sit in my high-backed, oaken chair
In the dusky twilight time,
And. waiting. nod as I hear the clocks
Make distant dreamy chime.
Then. just as the last faint stroke dies
out
In a sweet, metallic hum,
There comes a patter Of two wee feet,
And l know the Elhn's come.
l make no sound, nor move hand,
Nor open my fast-closed eyes,
Yet riotous joy within my breast
Demands 10 clasp its prize
She's looking at me so gravely now
/ feel the wondrng gaze
And now warm fingers with velvet touch
My eyelids strive to raise.
\ dart OF the hand and l have her fast;
with a cry half mirth, half fear
She springs to my lap and kisses my lips,
And nsstles my bosom near.
What greater joy can the future hold
or mem'ry's mind recall?
Ny sweet little dear little Elm queen,
My darling. my love, my all!
These arms were made 10 encrcle her,
This breast TO support her head.
There's a strange, dull pain in my lonely
heart
When the Elhn goes TO bed.
I'VE heard them say that the Elhn died
Long years ago-long years.
They say / am but poor old crone,
Alone with my hopes and fears.
They say-I care not what they say,
For / know my loves not dead;
She'll come tomorrow when twilight
falls
She's only gone 70 bed.
They found her sleeping her last, long
sleep
In her high-backed oaken chair.
And marveled 70 see the heavily smile
In place OF the lines OF care.
Then softly murmured a Womans voice:
"she has left all care and wrong,
And gone TO the land where the Elm
went.
To be with her all day long"

At meeting Of the photographed
Society, in Hanover Square, the other
evening Sir f.. NJ. Thompson read paper
on English Handwriting At the outset
the lecturer stated that he proposed to
deal with handwriting from the eighth 10
the fourteenth centuries. combining himself
chiefly To the finer types which were IN
existence Some specimens of the irish
hand in the seventh century We're thrown
upon tho screen. and the lecturer traced
IN them rescmblances with the Roman
hand then prevalent on the Continent,
upon which il was probably founded.
Ihe famous school at Lndisiarm turned
out some grand manuscripts, examples OF
which were I'm the British Museum ana
at Durham. The northern style of hahd-
writing spread 10 Canterbury, where the
early manuscripts were clearly initiative.
The cursive or pointed hand soon spread
In England. and a fine example Of II was
seen in Bede's Ecclesiastical History"
now at Cambridge. Passing to the tenth
century. they found tho cursive hand OF
the AnglO-SaXOn took a more rounded
form. The ornamentatiOn Of that period
was probably initiated from the Conti-
ucnt, and interesting examples or Initial
letters and borders were thrown on the
screen. together with a very curious draw
ing Of est. Michael and the Dragon IN
the Cotton Library. These crude draw
ings really founded the Anglo-SaNon
school Of OrnamentatiOn. In the Bodlelan
Library were manuscripts which were OF
n mixed character. showing the struggle
between the Roman and Anglo-SaNoh
STYLES. with the Conquest the Anglo-SaX"n
characteristic practically disappeared,
and manuscripts became mixtures OF
French. English and the Low Countries
page Of "DOmesday Book showed quite
a different caligraphic character from the
manuscripts which preceded it. The orna-
mentation of the thirteenth century was
richer and fuller, though not 50 broad
and struggling as that OF the twelfth CEN
turv The same characteristic was app
parent in the handwriting Of the period,
which became smaller and neater. 1t was
curious 10 note that, although the Anglo
Saxon writing ceased 10 exist ~ the lllle
Of the Norman Conquest, certain native
letters remained. as was seen IN manu-
scripts I'm the Bodleian. The fourteenth
century showed decadence IN the III
erarv hand which gradually merged into
the rounder hand of the charters or the
poriod. There was an affinity. they would
note. between the style Of writing OF the
fourteenth century and the printing OK
CaAton, which. Of course, could be easily
read at that time
I'm the discussion that followed stress
was laid on the fact that Ireland was our
teacher IN handwriting. and nope was
EXPRESSED that I'm a subsequent lecture SIR
Edward Thompson would snow them the
development Of the initial letter.

Attitude of n True Physician.
Rhlladolphla Medical Recordl

(fhhddelphla Medical ReCOrd)
The attitude of the true physician has
been most admirably delineated by the
master-hand of that fine exemplar OF his
profession. DR.. Osler, in an address de-
llyered a short while ago to the students
of Albany Medical College. BE careful, i"
he said when you set into practice to
cultivate equally well your hearts and
your heads. There is strong feeling
abroad that we doctors are given
nowadays 20 science, that we care much
more FOR the disease and the scientific
aspects Of II than for the individual.
don't believe IT, but at any rate whether
there is that tendency or not. l would
urge upon you Ia your practice in the
future TO care more particularly
for the individual patient than for the
special features Of the disease. / am sure
all OF yOl must feel, even those
of you who have only been single term
i'm the professional work, that you nave
entered upon a profession that appeals
both 10 the heart and 10 the head. Deal
ing as We do with poor, suffering hui
manity. we see the man unmasked' eN-
nosed 10 all the frailities ana weaknesses,
and Won have got TO keep your heart
pretty soft and pretty tender not 10 get
loo great a contempt for your fellow
creatures. The best way 70 90 That Is
10 keep a looking glass in your own
hearts. and the more carefully you scan
vour own frailties the more tender you
are for the frailties of your Fellow
creatures" The beauty and the fragrance
of the sentiments thus enunciated reside
not alone in their mode OF expression. but
In far greater degree in their sincerity
and In their reality; for we suspect ,hat
they unconsciously reflect looking-giass
picture OF the character or the man thal
gave them utterance.

COERCION IN KNOX.
The Whole County Liable to Be
Thrown Out.

frankfort, Ky, Nov. 15.-Judge
James d. Black, of Barboursy
is here this morning on legal bust.
ness before the Court of Appeals.
"Ihe tactics employed by a Re-
publican Circuit Judge and the
party leaders OF the county of Knox
in compelling the county election
commission to certify the vote of
that county, was," said he, "the
most shameful proceeding ever
witnessed by the people of that sec
tlon OF the State, and the State
Election Commission will be given
an opportunity to learn its fullest
details.
The County Commissioners were
proceeding quietly with their work
without intimation to anyone of
what they intended to do in the
matter of throwing out votes, when
the Republicans sent runners all
over the county to bring in a mob
to intimidate them, and had their
Circuit Judge come over from Lon
don and issue a mandamus COM
polling, not the counting of the
votes of all parties, but of all the
votes cast tor Republican candi-
dates. This gave the County Com
missioners absolutely no discretion
and robbed them of all their powers. "
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1899-11-17
Others are Safe.

1t the same comparison holds gooo
all over the State as is shown by Of
fetal figures on one-fourth of the
total number of counties and on one.
fifth of the precincts in Jefferson
county, Mr.. Taylor will lead the
Republican State ticket by $500 or
5000 more votes than Senator Goe-
bel leads the Democratic ticket. In
other words, if the same proportion
is maintained all over the State, the
majorities of the other candidates
on the Democratic ticket would be
$500 or 5000 greater than that
which Senator Goebel may get, and
even on the figures of the Republi-
can leaders it would elect all the
rest of the Democratic ticket.
Combining the comparisons in
State and city, the minor Demo
cratic candidates would have 1900
votes the best of the minor Repub-
lican candidates as compared with
the Goebel-Taylor contest. What
ever majority Senator Goebel might
get over Taylor would be exceeded
by 1900 by the other Democratic
and even on the Repub-
lean figures all of their candidates
except Taylor would be defeated.
n fact, several leading Republicans
lave already privately conceded |
he defeat of all the Republican
state ticket except Taylor.

FURTHER DETAILS
Of the Killing of Tom Shanklin,
COL, Near FairView.

Geo. Mimms, who killed Tom
Shanklin, near Fairview, Monday,
surrendered to the authorities at
Elkton and was Immediately re-
leased on a 81, 900 bond. 1t seems
that Shanklin had been a hand on
Mr.. Mimm S farm. Last week he
was directed to milk the COWS and
he refused to include that work in
his farm labors.
He was ordered off the place.
Monday morning he followed Mr..
Mlmms to a neighbours house, and,
1t is said, was very abusivetowards
him, threatening to kill him. About
ten o'clock, after Mr.. Mimms had
returned home, Shankling drove a

FRAUDS IN LOUISVILLE.
A Great Deal of Crookedness Being
Brought to Light.

The Louisville Times sums ur
the canvass of votes in Louisville
so far:
When the Election Board organ
ICES to hear contests there is no
doubt that the mandamused return
of the Seventh precinct of the First
ward will be thrown out. Mr..
Hoertz said the return had plainly
been doctored, but it was a matter
for the contest board to decide, and
for the reason only he admitted it
to the count. Mr.. Caruth took a
firm stand against it. Judge Barr,
the other commissioner, passed it
up like Mr., Hoertz. If the board
throws out the false return it will
mean the election of Letterle over
Stafford, his Republican opponent.
The Election Board has canvass
ed five complete wards, the result
in the Governors race being as fol-
lows.

UNSETTLED
Is The Race Between GOebeI
and Taylor.
Election of the Rest of the Demo-
cratic Ticket About Conceded
BY Republicans.

Louisville, KY, Nov. 16.-Noth.
ing developed yesterday concern.
ing the result of the State election
to change the situation as explained
in the Courier-Journal yesterday
morning. Nor is there any prospect
that the present suspense will be
relieved until the State Board of
Election Commissioners has can
vassed the returns and decided all
contests. The official returns from
three mountain counties are still
missing, but the number Of votes in
volved is OF relatively small impor-
lance compared with the number of
votes that depend upon the settle
ment of contests. All pending dis
putes over the count have been
passed on to the State Board, though
Mr.. Taylor is seeking to obtain an
order of court to compel the Nelson
county election officers to revise
their returns in his favor. Until
the State Board finally passes upon
all contests the situation will re-
main as at present-Gcebel having
a plurality of the uncontested votes,
Taylor about an equal plurality of
the contested votes, with enough
votes contested to turn the scale
either way.
In the canvass of Jefferson county
election returns yesterday Goebel
gained SO votes and Taylor Is, |
leaving the Democr attic nominee a |
net gain of 3S votes for the day.
Previous to the count of yesterday,
Mr.. Goebel's net gain in the city
was u. This, added to the gam of
yesterday, gives him a total net
gain in Louisville of 10 votes. The |
Democratic attorneys yesterday
gave notice that they would contest
he vote in numerous precincts of
he Tenth and Eleventh wards,
where they have affidavits to prove
hat the Republicans were guilty of
If fraud and conducted the election
contrary to law.
