LIFE'S WAYS.

The ways are long walk alone
 The fields are dull andrdreary; My paths are set with thorn and stone
 My heart is worn and weary. But skies are all tender blue,
 And filled with sunny weather, When in the paths of joy we two
 Walk. hand in hand. together. l hear the happy thrushes tune
 Their song in bush and bower; l hear the bees their story croon
 From honied flower to flower. The music stirs me with distress
 I cannot kindly bear 1t; For. O there is no joy unless
 Your ear with mine may share it. O come with me and glad the way
 With eyes of beauty smiling, December seems as glad as May
 In your divine beguIing. For, though we stray through gardens fair, Or weary wastes of heather, The paths are good and golden where
 We two may walk together. Nixon Waterman, in L. A W. Bulletin.

TT HE first act was almost over when
 the tenor. the soprano and the contralto got together in the wings and decided if the manager failed to arrive as he had telegraphed and set tie up the payroll. now overdue, they would not sing the opera out.
 When the news spread as it quickly did, the chorus with slight dissent agreed in the plan. Many of them had been stranded before and the prospect was far from exhilarating. but the chance of getting even in some small way had the pleasure of novelty. The plan was in consequence tacitly agreed upon.
 The basso. not in the original pro- nunciamento list, told the call boy that he need not bring the customary beer from around the corner after the sec ond act
 As this meant that he would go after it in person no doubt was left in the minds of those concerned as to what course he would pursue.
 Faces that few moments before had appeared anxious now grew bright at the prospect of excitement.
 The audience in front, not bad one as the audiences of the new opera went, was in ignorance of the projected sur prise.
 The soubrette, usually the most in consequent member of the company, alone was depressed.

IueJ II truSI you, put II they knOW the company's disbanded there's no more chance about it." As in the world at large the voice of the philosopher went unheeded.
 Not disconcerted the soubrette spread out her costume for the third act on the steam radiator and left the door of her dressing-room wide open that all might see as they passed by. Clear ly she was not with the majority.
 But Miss Casey had more at stake than the majority. She was engaged to Victor Laquine, tenor in the chorus. They were to be married in the spring and would go into vaudeville in a hap py domestic way.
 A disbanding of the company on Christmas eve and their first engage ment together booked for summer garden in May made scarcely pleas ing prospect.
 Engagements that year had been hard enough to get at any time and in mid-season would be scarcest of all. At the very best it meant different companies and separation and that in turn meant good-by to matrimony and vaudeville. Miss Casey had been en- gagged before, she knew the sex.
 On the stage the company guyed each other and the audience as only an uD- paid company can.
 Miss Casey alone was too preoccu- pied to pay any attention to it. Now and then she cast her eyes toward the rear of the theater hoping to see the managers fur-decked overcoat nov ing about behind the last row of seats.
 'I knew he wouldn't comel" every one said as they faced each other on the stage when the curtain had rung down.
 Hell come yet" said Miss Casey, with firmness. Maybe his trains late; this heavy snow would stop anything. and if he comes and finds the theater dark when the third act ought to be on, I wouldn't give much for the tick cts he'd give you to get home on."
 There was logic in this, but the so- prano pierced it.
 How do you know his train isn't in?' she inquired with dignity and look at the interfering soubrette that would have silenced her, had she not been Miss Casey with much depending on her.
 Send the stage manager to the box office telephone to see about it," put in the contralto.
 How do you know what road he is on? There are half a dozen or more. He may be on his way here now in cab! He may step on the stage any minute and find everyone refusin' to go on instead of dressin' as we should. Any minute he may be rushin' in, I say!" Miss Casey was excited into

 Bring my beer" said the basso to the call boy, es his eyes followed Miss Casey's figure. Clearly he meant to sing the third act.
 The tenor, the soprano and the con- tralto looked at each other and then at their retreating colleagues.
 Presently the stage-hands, who had been interested auditors, began to set the scene for the third act.
 Miss Casey was back in an incred- ibly short time. A critical eye might have found fault with her general ap- pearance, but she was not thinking of critical eyes just then. The fate of that performance, and her own as we'll. depended upon her and she knew it. She knew furthermore that the task of getting this act on was mere play to what the Lext would be, unless the manager arrived.
 Never before had this third act seemed so long. She had great deal to do. and it generally passed quickly. for she enjoyed her work.
 Tonight she could scarcely act for casting her eyes toward the back of the theater. Once she forgot her lines entirely and her song ended with a little croak that was the nearest ap- proach to an involuntary sob.
 The soprano, still smarting under recollection of Miss Casey's inter ference" guyed her to the entertain ment of the entire cast and the front rows in the parquet. Miss Casey, how ever, needed nothing but the back row of chairs. behind which the manager, when he did make his appearance-if that happy moment were fated to come would lounge importantly.
 But never a sign there was of him. and by the time the soubrette got to her scene with the comedian il might have been high tragedy instead of low comedy as far as Miss Casey was con- cerned. For all his guying and in difference, the comedian had not reached a point when he could calmly see people get up and walk ostenta- tiously out in the midst of his best chance in the opera.
 If he failed to tell her so the mo- ment the descending curtain pole raised little puff of dust on the stage it was because he could not get within hailing distance. Miss Casey seemed a moveable axis about which her col leagues revolved. Now she was at one side of the stage and the next mo- ment at the other insisting that the manager would certainly come in the

THE BLUE AND
 GRAY IN REUNION President Mckinley Speaks to Ten Thousand Persons. BANQUET LAST EVENING Oratory Flowed From the Attorney Gen. eral, Cabinet Members and Other
 Prominent Officials Capt
 Gillett, Postmaster
BANQUET LAST EVENING

Evansville, Ind, October 11.-A heavy rainfall, the first in two months, which set in early in the morning and continued all day had the effect of diminishing the eX- pected attendance at the first national re- union of the blue and gray today, notwith- standing President Mckinley and his cabi- net were in the city part of the time This was the principal day of the reunion. President Mckinley and his cabinet arrived from Chicago at g o'clock and left for the north at noon. The presidential party was escorted from the train through the drench- ing rain, which did not drown out the tremendous ovation from patriotic veter- ans throats at the tri-state fair grounds, where the president was introduced by Governor Mount and addressed 10000 per- sons. Speeches were also made by Secre- tary of the Treasury Lyman J. Gage, Sec retary of the Navy John D. Long, Attor- uey General Griggs, United States Senator Fairbanks and others.
 The president and his party were then escorted back to the train just at noon and left for the northwest.
 Before the president left, however, he was forced to comply with the wishes Of a large crowd of citizens gathered at the Stdtiou, dii0 oCHfCicu d SCCOlu uiicl du- dress in the city from the rear of the train. He expressed qualification at the reception given by the visitors, representing the north and the south, now united in un- broken and never-to-be broken union. 1 At the banquet this evening Captain s. iP Gillett, late lieutenant commander of the United States navy, presided as toastmas- ter. The first speech was made by Colonel w. A. Hemphll, of Atlanta, Ga., on "Our Defenders On Land and Sea-"
 II '"The United States Senate" was the topic of a speech by Senator C. w. Fair banks of Indiana. He was followed by Colonel A. J. West of Atlanta, Ga., who spoke on "A Generation Alter "The Blue and the Cray" was the topic of speech by F. B. Posey of Evansville. Colonel Josiah Patterson of Memphis, Tenn, dis cussed '"The Southern Patriot"
 Governor D. w. Jones of Little Rock Ark, paid glowing tribute to "The Old Veteran at the Passing of the Nineteenth Century" General John c. Black of Chica- go, Ill.,, took as his topic "rhe Northern Patriot"
 John W. Lockett of Henderson, Ky, re- counted the victories of The Star Span gled Banner" The banquet closed long af- ter midnight with a speech from Governor Mount of Indiana, on ''Our Guests" in which he pictured the gathering of the vet erans of the blue and gray as alike guests of the state and tn ecounty, reunited, fra ternalized and standing under one flag.

SOLDIERS WELCOMED
General Fred Funston the Center of At
 traction

San Francisco, October 1.-The Twen- tieth Kansas regiment and the four hun dred discharged soldiers who arrived here last night on the United States transport Tartar, were landed today, after being an- chored in the stream all morning during the progress of the health officers examin- ation. The march to the Presidio reserva- ton was an exciting one for the soldiers. The welcome they received was second only to that accorded the home troops on their return. The soldiers were escorted by four companies of artillery and band from the Presidio. The throngs surged around General Frederick Funston and he had great difficulty making progress through the crowds. Cheer upon cheer greeted him, but his only acknowledge ment was a military salute and an occa- sional doffing of his cap.
 Each soldier carried a gun which had been decorated with flowers. The crowds simply would not let the men pass in peace. Relatives and friends broke into the ranks and marched with the soldiers, some smil- ing and laughing and others crying, but all happy and glad.
 The regimental colors, little the worse for wear, in spite of the arduous change through which they had passed, called for the most tremendous burst of applause whenever they were sighted.

The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1899-09-19

When Wendell Phillips was last in
Washington, he was for few minutes
on the floor Of the United States sem
ate, surrounded by group of senator's,
among whom was Senator James G.
Blaine, always a favorite with Mr..
Phillips. 1t SO happened that few
weeks before this time Mr.. Blaine, in
presenting to congress the statue of
Governor King, first governor of
Maine, to be placed in the rotunda of
the capitol. had commented severely
on the loyalty Of Massachusetts, and
especially the Federalist party, during
the war with Great Britain in 1912.
OF this party the father of Wendell
Phillips, John Phillips, was a con-
spicuous member. When Blaine's
speech was made Dawes and Hoar
were senators from Massachusetts, and
they both essayed some sort of an
impromptu reply thereto, but did them
selves little credit in parrying the
thrusts of Blaine's glittering rapier.
So. when Wendell Phillips met
Blaine on this occasion. he said to him
laughingly, Il wish I had been a men,
Der of this body for about an hour
the other day when you made that
speech attacking the Massachusetts
Federalists.''
"Ah," said Mr.. Blaine with that
ready wit which never deserted him.
''if you had been here l shouldn't have
made that speech -Harper's Maya
