The Pilot.
To LLOYD BENNETT WILSON.

~ NisO'b NiLsONs
Sometimes we sail serenely on summer sea
ihe skies above us ca I'M and clear, the waves
. at play,
No danger threats in all the azure deep, no
storm
Of tempest luSks to mar the perfect day
The sun.kissed waves in golden ripples flash
and flow,
Our boats glide on and on amidst the endless
- charm.
We reck not IL the pilot be on boar or no.
| Inc SKIES are clear, the waves ut play, where
| then the harm?
But suddenly, from out the blue there leaps
flame
And thunder shakes the darkening vault
go above our heads,
Ihe piayiul waves are lashed In fury by the
winds
And leap in angry tumult from their cavern
ed beds.
Ills then, we, panic,strieken, cry aloud for
aid,
And wiring our helpless hands In anguish and
despair,
Forgetting all the while, through storm and
tempest dire
The patient pilot mans the helm for port
more fair.
For, out beyond the bufieting of angry waves
There Is a sheltered harbor all will reach MI
last,
place where we shall meet our pilot face TO
face,
When all the raging storms OF life are over
past,
Then, Sooth your anguish, We who bow In
poignant grief,
The clouds viii pass, the sun again will food
the sky,
The master knoweth all your heart.ache and
your woe
And he will guide you safely to him by and by

And now some think the elusive Agui- naldo is dead. He has certainly been very quiet lately and has not been run ming where anybody could see him since he ran completely away from the Thir- ty-third regiment, which chased him in- to the mountains. General Tinio has heard nothing from him since December 2S, and Tlnio thinks Aguinaldo would find means to communicate with him if he were alive. The belief is growing that the Igorottis, savages who inhabit the northern mountain region of Luzon, have killed him.
 If in rebelling against Christian civ ilization Aguinaldo has been put to death by savages his end has been somewhat appropriate. He has been very lively rebel.

Those who are thinking of going to Siberia to look for gold may find some- thing worth their attention in the ad- vice given by Consul-General Holloway, of St. Petersburg. He dlscourages American godseekers who seek to pro- spect for gold in Siberia and obtain claims there on the ground that gold is not yet known to be abundant in Siberia and that the Russian government places great obstacles in the way of mining enterprise. Americans have thought that the gold belt recently struck at Cape Nome, Alaska, extends across Behring Sea into eastern Siberia. There is also an opinion that enormously rich
 lodes exist 'all over Russia and that

they will be sold to the highest bidder, It is even affirmed that the Czar per mits Americans to prospect freely for gold in Siberia. Consul Holloway finds
 on inquiry in official quarters that this is not true! Very tedious formalities
 are required, and "the best-informed
 people here," says the consul do not
 believe permits could be obtained to
 prospect for gold on the coast of Siberia
 until after the Russian government has
 fully investigated it's conditions, Were it ready to consider such applications
 the probabilities are that 1t would re- quire from two to three years before the same would be finally decided. Rus sian officials place no value on time, and it requires from two to twelve weeks to receive an answer to an off, cial communicat ton from the various departments, according to the work in volved in the reply"
 There are no discrminations in favor of Americans in any business in Rus sia. "The value of Russian gold mines the consul adds, "has been greatly ex- aggerated. Several experienced Ameri- can mining engineers who are admitted to be the best in the world, have visited Siberia in the interests of English as well as American capitalists during the past three years and made extensive ex- aminations of the conditions, and have not heard of a single company being as a result of their reports, The mining Is almost all placer, there being but two small quartz mines In the Ural mountains, which are owned by French capitalists, and are said to be losing money"

4 SIGNIFICa VT TILI.

1 A bill which has been reported by the Committee on Street Railroads to the Massachusetts house of representatives will probably cause hot time when 1t
 gets we'll started. It provides that any
 street railroad company organized un-
 der the laws of Massachusetts may,
 under certain conditions, act as a gen. eral carrier of merchandise, baggage
 and freight. No street railroad com
 pany will be allowed to act as such common carrier without first obtaining
 the consent of the board of aldermen
 or selectmen of It's city or town unless
 the board of railroad commissioners shall. on appeal from decision of such
 board of aldermen or selectmen refus- ing such consent reverse such decision and authorize the company to transact said business within such city or town. It is further provided that the act shall not apply to any street railroad com pany until its provisions have been ac- cepted by such company by majority vote of it's directors and by a vote of two-thirds in interest of it's stockhold- CTS at meetings called for that purpose, and. a certificate of such acceptance, signed by the president, treasurer, and a majority of the directors of the com pany, accompanied with duly authen- ticated copies of said votes, has been filed in the office of the secretary of state, and it shall not apply to any city or town unless it shall be accepted by a majority of the voters of said city or town voting thereon at some State or municipal election. After such accept ance and the filing of such certificate the act shall constitute an amendment and extension of the charter of such company.
 It is expected that the steam railroad companies which do business in Massa- chusetts will not want to see this bill become a law. Electric roads are nu- merous in the eastern part of the State | and if they should be allowed to carry freight they would hurt the business of the steam roads.

The Nile this year was the lowest on record. The obstructed waters form vast sea in hot region, where there is a loss of 50 per cent. by evaporation. By removing the sudd and building necessary levees etc., it is believed that Egypt can be made certain of receiving every year its proper quota of water for irrigation and fertilization.

A turn over Is pretty with this sort of tie. It is decreed that the turnover must be delicate, of hand needle work and that 1t must be wash ed and ironed to perfection. Cuff finish to match Is to be had Graduated points and points like the corners of a hem stitched handkerchief are pretty, and bit of real lace insertion with an edge of lace to complete it makes one of the daintiest turn-overs

It is not likely that women will soon take up the cruel stiff linen collar, when the soft stock is so much more comfortable, and is sane toned by good form" A stiff collar is a sight as soon as it melts a little. while soft neck finish will hold its own to the last.

An ingenious gang of burglars has just been captured by the police of Paris. They were in the habit of ply ing their trade disguised as painters Taking with them artists umbrellas and boxes of colors they used to visit the neighborhood of Paris, making a pre- tense of painting during the daytime, and at nightfall they would visit the nearest lonely villa and empty it of val uables. They were observed by the po- lice after a burglary at St. Cloud, but instead of arresting them on the spot the latter dogged their footsteps until they reached their headquarters at a hotel in Paris, where the whole gang was caught.

A curious suit has been brought by Joseph P. Powers, a city official in Queens county New York. He was a promissory note for $40 indorsed by him to oblige friend. This dunning by wire was kept up three weeks, the telegrams being sent "collect' both to his house and to his office. He gives reasons why he is not liable for the payment of the note and sues the man who dunned him for $5,oo0 damages. It looks as if this might be like dunning by postal card, which has been pro- nounced illegal.
