ICEBERGS.

No port lamps CLEAN along our sides,
No banners float on high;
No human lookout raises glass
To scan our sea or sky.
No admirals above our decks
Mid guns and gunners stand,
In hidden sheath to send the sound
OF warlike, stern command.
Yet all the navies Of the world
Our bows in vain assail;
We fear no smoking battle tower
That thunders through the gale.
By captains gray our path is marked,
By sailors white and old;
For us the phantom rockets glare,
And phantom bells are tolled.
In misty. unremembered ports
Our beacon lights were set
By hands long gone from mortal view.
By forms that men forget.
And we may wander on our course
Till time at end shall be,
For in our breasts are locked the hulls
OF ships once lost at sea.

list e. W. Danst. who is holding re-
Nyal meeting at that place.
He spoke on tho subject. Christ, the
Great High Priest" delivering an inter-

is universal. Once it was said that q
tribe had been found in Africa which had
no religion, but on an investigation in
sututed by scientists it was found to be
untrue. proving the above assertion" He
then asserted that sin was the curse OF
the world and that it was man who went
away from God not God from man. so a
mediator was needed to bring man back
to God. Christ was sent to be this mo
diator and honee Is today the Great High
Priest lie closed his sermon with an
earnest appeal for the sinner to accent
tho Saviour and allow him to mediate for
him with God.

LIVELY POLITICAL MEETINGS
FIRST WARD COMES IN FOR IT'S
SHARE OF POLITICAL SPEAKING.
Two Gatherings in that Locality

His EGort to Look ut Hooks.

The First ward was the municipal po-

sion OF the city, one in the lower par. OF
the ward at rammany hall. the other out
at the corner of Houston avenue and
Crockett street. Both were well attend
ed by the sutfragansofthe ward.
Hon. John 7. Browne spoke at the
Crockett street meeting. He told how. at
tho very earnest solicitation Of Mayor
Brashear. as expressed in one OF his re-
cent speeches to come up and inspect the
books, he had attempted during the day
to avail himself of the invitation, and with
what success. or rather what lack OF sue
cess he had met, He said he was anxious
to ascertain by what system OF figuring
the city debt had been so adroitly wiped

been recently borrowing large sums Of
money This was one way OF getting out

used toward taking up the floating debt.

money on the treasurers books AIR
Browne asked the auditor II The civ Mad

the auditor told him that. under the al

CERTIFICATES NOT STAMPED.
CIR. HELsERc GIVES REASON roI,
NOT STAMPING CERTIFICATES.
How Traffic In Them May he pc-
tcctcd by Reference to the Regis
tration Books.

At the registration for the last city cleo
tion. Mr.. chas. Grumbach. then the regis
trsr, stamped all registration certificates
issued by him White" or "Colored" ac-
cordingly as the certificate was issued
to either white or colored voter There
was no law requiring this. nor was there
any law prohibiting IL. 1t was simply
gratuity OH the part OF tho registrar.
and the reason he assigned for 1t was to
prevent any traffic In registration certih-
Gates at the primaries, which Immediately
succeeded the registration. and at which
these registration certificates had 10 be
presented as a condition necessary to we
ing. Mr.. Grumbaeh contending that as the
rules adopted by the city democratic exc
cutiye committee specifically stated that
only white democrats" would be permit
ted to vote at these primaries, no one
woula have the temerity to present a GER
tificato with the word 'colored" stamped
across tho face of 1t in big red letters.
This precautlon very naturally prevent
ed any traffic in certificates that we're is
sued to colored voters.
But some coiored people. who were over
nation in connection with their exercise
of tho right of suffrage.
When MIR. Helberg was appointed regis
trar and conducted the registration at the
succeeding county election, he did not
designate the certificates that were Issued
for that election by stamping white" OF
"colored" and he is at present pursuing
similar course.
~ see no necessity" said Registrar Hei-
berg to a Post reporter, ito stamp white
or 'colored' upon the certificates them
selves The registration books will show
whether the certificates were issued tu
white or colored voters aud a set OF these
books has already been engaged by the
city democratic executive committee to be
used at the primaries and If any certin-
cate issued TO a colored voter is presented
at the primaries It can be very readily
detected by reference to the registration
book, against which every certificate will
have TO be checked before 1t can be voted
II the same rules are adopted that pre-
vailed last year. and / suppose they VIII,
every certificate presented Is compared
with the registration book and opposite
the name on the registration book CORE
spending with the certificate, Is stamped
voted and upon the certificate is alsc
stamped voted at primaries
while, OF course, no one would attempt
| 10 buy registration tickets for the prima-
ries that were stamped upon their face
'coldred the check that the registration
/ books affords against this sort OF traffic
| throws an absolute safeguard around the
| primaries in preventing this sort OF fraud

he attempted 10 leave the tow OF the Eu.

in doing SO fell into the water and was
drowned. II was about S o'clock at nigh,
