q Lin's verses to bis wife, expressing
he delight he felt at receiving her port.
in bis exile of her un-
affection. She is spoken Of
as woman Of high education, but 'ap.
pears to have suffered from some de.
ormity in her hands. to which he makes
illusion in bis address. This is only an
extract:
Like the wild water fowls,
in mutual love
Each upon each dependent,
did we move;
Bot now-grief striker
apoor, lonely man,
roam in desolate exile!
Still the ban
Of separation is
less hara from thee
Beloved! than would the horse hide
cerement be!
Why should l weep
breathe the mountain air,
Although herdsman's
humble garb wear
Yet must weep
for my minds troubled eye
Sees thee on suffering's
eoueh of misery:
The gay cosmetics
all neglected --thou
Dost never need the
flattering mirror now;
Yet thy fair Characters
in verse outpoured
Have ruptured al my soul
mine own adored!
/ see thee-weleome thee
in every line,
Whose every pencil touch,
dear Wife, is thine!

THE CHINESE AS POETS.

"In lyrical poetry the most distin-
guished writer's are Ii Thai Pc and Tu
Su, both of whom 6ourished at the
beginning Of the eighth century. A. D.
Davis, in his On the Poetry of the
Chinese in the Transactions OF the
Royal Society," speaks highly Of their
verses. The romantic postry Of the
Chinese. although void Of poetic beauty
according to the Caucasian standard,
is invaluable for the insight it gives
into their domestic life. Their dra-
matte poetry has laws peculiar to itself,
and resembles partly the romantic
drama of the Germans and partly the
Comedia dele Arte of the Italians. {.
IAN example of philosophy is found
in the following verses from Tai Va,
extracted from q collection OF odes
written under the first emperors Of the
Chou dynasty. During the time of LIE
Wang, B. G. $50. the afslrs of the state
were in disorder, and thus Tai Va com
plains:
Against that mild and hostile gale
The painting Travellers strength must fail.
Willingly would the people bring
Good words of wisdom to their king;
But an they are compelled to say,
The time to act is far away.
II would be better for Us now
To seek the fields and delve the plow;
Resign state service, and instead
Toll with the people for COR bread.
To labor in the fields all day,
II is heavy price to pay;
Bot 1t were better not to grieve
And earn by toll wherewith to live.
The ancient poet Su was evidently
lover Of sylvan solitude, and. as a poet
born. one whose communion with ma
ture taught to him many PHILOSOPHERS.
His reference to the gay world will
strike us as queer note upon the sensi-
bilities of surfeited New York. This is
what he says:
To new and lovely home,
Seeking quiet have come,
Cherishing, while none intrude,
Thoughts in love and solitude,
Mountain prospects front my door,
And the Tung flows on before.
In It's waters deep l see
Images of house and tree.
Meath that thicket of bamboo
Snow lies all the winter through
In my dafkened cottage home
Long ere nightfall all is gloom.
"Of the modern Chinese poets. Com.
missioner Lin, or, as the Emperor dub
bed him, Wan Chung Kung, the liter
airy and faithful was among the most
noted. He was born in Fuh-C Chow. Foo
about 1887, was distinguished as a
scholar, and held many high Offices
under the Government. He was COM
missioned in 1888 and charged to pun
ish the consumers OF opium wherein
the activity and vigor Of his policy was
the immediate cause Of fastening the
rupture between England and China
and Of bringing on the opium war;
In consequence Of his too faithful dis
charge Of duty he was banished to Eli,
a desolate region Of the far northwest
territories Of Chine, and while on his
baniahment there theee afanzas ware

CONCERNING THE SALE OF THE
LARAMIE ROLLING MILL TO
COLORADO COMPANY.
The Story Published From Cheyenne in
the Unreliable Denver News Lacks
Confirmation in Laramie, and Ia
dications Point to the Probability
That the Story Is Fiction.

A dispatch from Cheyenne to the
Denver News says:
1t is reported here on what seems to
relia BILE authority that the Colorado
Fuel and Iron company is negotiating
for the purchase of the Laramie Roll
ing mills. An agent of the Fuel corl-
pany was in Laramie last week exam
lining the property. The rolling mills
employ from $50 to 200 men on castings
connected with railroad machinery
and construction. and is n of the
largest concerns of the kind in the
country. The output of the works has
so far gone to the Union Pacific road.
"The purchase of the plant by the
Colorado company would be fully in
keeping with it's ~far-reaching plans to
captur, and control the iron business
of the Rocky mountains. 1t already
has extensive holdings outside of Colo
RADIO. in New Mexico, Utah and Wyo-
ming, including large iron and coal
fields. 1t is already operating coal
mines near Casper and has coal filings
at Elk mountain in addition to iron
and railroad interests at Hartyille."
The m contained in the above
has been rife ia Laramie for the past
ten days, but as far as can be learned
here there is absolutely no foundation
for the report.
, 1900-02-06

A representative of The Republican
called on President Gramm of the Lara
ME Iron & Steel company in quest of
Information regarding the story, and
that gentleman maintained that he
knew nothing of the rumored sale.
The mill is the property of the I'm
ion Pacific railway company and is
leased to the Laramie Iron and Steel
company for a term of five years, only
two of which have expired. OF course
the mill could be sold by the railroad
company, but the sale would be sub
ject to the lease held by the local com
pany, and it is not believed that the
latter would give up its rights, at least
under the present favorable condition
of the iron market, except for a con-
sideration which would make the pur-
chase Improbable to the buyer.
1t is known that the mill has on hand
orders which will keep it working with
a full force for a long time to come, and
taking everything into consideration
ton.
The statement in the Cheyenne dis
patch that the output Of the works has
so far gone to the Union Pacific road
is misleading. Large quantities of
merchant iron are manufactured and
other roads besides the Union Pacific
are patrons of the Laramie rolling
mills.

PLAY MIRRORS HUMANITY.
Human Hearts" at the Opera House,
Wednesday, February Z.

When blase theatre-goers applaud
the heroic speeches of the leading man
and hiss the villain, it must be &C
counted a strong play. Human
Hearts" is a melodrama, albeit there
are no sawmills, cotton presses, log
But although in part it has many Of
the absurdities of the class, it is more
than a melodrama. 1t is a stirring,
softening, humanizing play. 1t tells
a plain story, beautiful in its simplici-
ty, Of common lakewood folks. 1t
mirrors with fidelity the false and true
characters of everyday life. 1t is
is most refreshing in this day of i'm
ported problem and suggestive plays.
The leading role in Human Hearts"
is taken by Louis Leon Hall. He is a
young and forceful actor quite well
moulded for the part. Harry l.. Dun
henson, as Jimmy Logan, the half.wit-
ted brother, has a rather original and
difficult piece Of character work. His
conception and acting of it are excel
lent. The comedy interest is well sus-
tanned by Ed. A. McHugh and Marcy
Carey, the former as a gentleman"
tramp and the latter as a worldly wise
%bootblack. Mr.. McHugh presents the
conventional stage tramp only in
makeup. Otherwise he Is original
and amusing. His lines are clever and
he has the good sense not to overdo
the character. The balance Of the
support is good and the piece is pref
tily staged and dressed. A large audi
ence witnessed the production at the
auditorium last evening.-Spokesman-
Review, Spokane, Wash, Dec. 9, 1899.

M1sHAps."

The Irishman in the various walks Of
life by his witty sayings and amusing
actions, causes the majority of the
smiles which tighten the burdens of
humanity. The Irishman or the stage
only exaggerates the Irishmen we meet
every day. However, 1t is universally
acknowledged by critics that no other
man can SO successfully portray the
careless. happy-go-lucky Irishman as
Barney Ferguson, and that there is no
play in which Mr.. Ferguson has ever
been featured that gave him 30 many
opportunities as "McCarthy's Mishaps"

ton stands the whole service will be
crushed out. The postoffice committee
had recommended an increase Of the
appropriation for this service from

crease was attacked by the appropria-
Gons committee under the leadership 6f
Mr.. Moody (Mass.) with such vigor
and success that in the end the house
voted by 70 to 30 to strike the entire ap.
preparation from the bill. Mr.. Moody
created = sensation by the manner in
which he assailed the methods of the
pneumatic tube company and the direct
charge that. former member Of con.
gress who had been q member of the
appropriations committee had been a
holder Of the stock of the company. He
charged that a block of stock had been
sent as New Years gift to near rela:
tive of another member Of congress, but
to the credit Of the member he said the
dishonoring gift had heen returned to
the sender by the next mail. Although
the tube service was highly commended
by other members these revelations
transformed the sentiment Of the house,
which has several times voted for the
tube service, into a decisive majority
against it's continuation in any form. -.
