On account Of the interest in
Rndyard Kipling's latest poem,
"The White Mans Burden" re.
lating TO American expansion, $
S. Mcclure & Co., of New York
have given the press Of this coun.
try permission to print the poem
in full by giving due credit.
Take up the White Mans burden
Send forth the best We breed
Go, bind your sons to exile
To serve your caphves' need;
To wait, Ia neavy harness,
On ilut,ered folk and wild
Your new caught, sullen peoples,
Half devil and half child.
Take up the White Mans burden
In patience 10 abide.
To veil the threat Of terror
And check the show Of pride;
BY open speech and simple,
An hundred times made plain,
To seek anolher's profit
And work another's gain.
Take up the White Mans burden
The savage wars OF peace
Fill full the mouth Of famine,
And bid the sickness cease,
And when your goal Is nearest,
(rhe end for others sought
Watch sloth and heather folly,
Bring all your hope TO naught.
Take mp the White Mans burden
No iron rule of kings,
But toll Of seris and sweeper
The tale Of common things,
The ports ye shall not enter,
The roads ye shall not tread,
Go. make them with your living,
And mark them with your dead.
Take mp the White Mans burden
And reap his old reward,
The blame ofthose We better.
The hate Of those We guard
The cry Of hosts ye humor,
(Ah slowlyD toward the light
"Why brought ye Us from bondage
Our loved Egyptian night?"
Take mp the White Mans burden
We dare not stoop to less
Nor call too loud for freedom
To cloak Your WEAKNESS,
by all ye will or whisper.
BY all ye leave or do.
The silent, sullen peoples
Shall weigh your God and you.
Take up the White Mans burden!
Have done with childish days
The lightly proiIered laurel.
The easy, unRrulged praise;
Games now 10 senrch your manhood
Through all ilie thankless years,
Cold, edged with dear. bought wisdom,
The judgment Of your peers,
-Rudyard Kipling.

A HIGH-TONED sMUGGLER.
Lady Saloon Passenger Arrested
Jewels and Dress Goods Galore.

NEW YORK. June 24.-When the
American liner St. Paul reached her
dock in this city to-day. Deputy Surveyor
of-Customs Bowling ordered the seizure
Of the baggage of Mrs. Phyllis e. Dodge,
OF New York, a saloon passenger, on the
charge that they contained smuggled
Jewelry and wearing apparel. The jeWelry
seized is valued at $4,000, and the wear
ing apparel at 100000, making the seizure
amount TO $4,000.
Mrs. Dodge came from Paris, and was
accompanied by a maid. She had a fine
apartment on the ships promenade deck,
and after the officials took charge Of her
trunks and boxes she was seen TO go
back to her state-rooms with her maid.
a Treasury official had her under sur
veillance from the time Quarantine was
reached, and when Mrs. Dodge came from
the state-room with a small handbag he
watched her until she went down on the
pier, where she was met by several
friends. The Treasury official then or
dered the seizure or the baggage and also
the handbag.
The trunks were found 10 contain ex-
pensive dress goods and the handbag
held diamonds, pearls, and other stones
made up in various articles.
Mrs. Dodge will be examined on Monday
before the United States Commissioner.

FUTURE OF THE LEAGUE.
The Probabilities Are That 1t cannot
Last the Season.

Since the season of 1899 opened. the At
lantic League has had rather precarlous
existence, and the chances are that unless
the interest in baseball reyives very per
ceptibly in the next few weeks the or
ganization will disintegrate
Not a single team in the league has
made any money this season. indeed
every one of the magnates has lost
money, and some Of them big money at
that Every effort of legitimate char
acter has been resorted TO with View
to increasing the attendance here and
elsewhere. but the results have been dis
appointing, and it is learned on the quiet
that several Of the club-OWners are about
ready now 10 throw up the sponge.
The Paterson club is being continued by
the league 10 keep its organization intact.
The clubs have all they can do 10 carry
their own expenses, and now that Pater-
son has been saddled upon them, they
are in rather bad way. The owners OF
the Wilkesbarre club are selling their
best players and delivering them imme-
diatelY
Richmond is probably the best club from
financial standpoint IN the league, but
its owners are getting tired Of the losses
which are daily occurring. They are
however. determined. If possible, TO hold
on for the entire season, because they
have many valuable men under contract
Will probably reimburse the owners for
the losses incurred during the season. II
however, the league does not last through
the season, the players will be free to
sign wherever they will, and the owners
of the club will lose all they expect TO
make from the sale of men.
Ii is understood that the Richmond
magnates are tired of the fun they have
had in the Atlantic League, and that
Richmond Will not re-enter The organiza-
ton next year, even should II last
through the season. They recall with
longing the prosperous days OF the old
Virginia State League, and II is more than
probable that that organization will be
revived. The firm Of John l.. Williams AZ
Son holds large stock In the Richmond
Baseball and Athletic Association. ana
they also own street-car lines In most of
the larger Virginia cities. 1t may be
readily seen, therefore that IL would be
to their interest TO revive the State or
ganizatlon, and certainly the base ball
people throughout the State would hail
with delight such an organization. Rich
mond rooters would not be aYerse TO the
change for local interest il one OF the
main things that makes baseball thrive.
and II four or six evenly balanced teams
were scattered throughout Virginia. the
attendance would. no doubt be doubled
in Richmond, and certainly Norfolk and
Portsmouth would give their teams liberal
support. while Petersburg, Lynchburg and
Roanoke, having been so long without
baseball, would be good drawing cities.
