THE GRANDFATHER CLAUSE.

From the Washington Times.
 The end of the Alabama constitutional convention is now close at hand It's work so far, while generally satisfactory to the people of the state, does not seem to be so in the matter of the suffrage. It now seems certain that the grandfather clause familiar in connection with the new North Carolina constitution, will be adopted. This is to be regretted, since It Is very doubtful if 1t would stand a test before the Federal Supreme Court.

SC4NNELES PLEA OTERRULED.
HE CANNOT ESCAPE TRIAL. ON GROUND
THAT EUGENE SANGER ILLEGALLY
SAT ON GRAND JURY.

Recorder Goff yesterday handed down decision
overruling the ''plea in abatement which counsel
interposed to the indictments found against Fire
Commissioner Scannell and William L. Marks. The
plea was founded the alleged iegality Of
Eugene B. Sangers membership in the November
grand jury. the declaration being made that Mr..
Sanger was not a resident of New-York County.
In his decision Recorder GoT says:
There is neither suggestion allegation that the
defendants were in fact, injured prejudiCed in
any way by the presence on the grand jury OF the
member alleged to be nonresident At common
law their plea would be regarded technical and
dilatory. and since they avaIl themselves Of this
form Of plea there is good reason why the
strict rule of procedure which prevailed at COM
mon law should not be applied
am therefore OF the opinion that when they
appeared in court on November % and moved the
court for favor, inspect the minutes of the
grand jury, which was granted, and further moved
the court for another favor, continuance ian un-
avoidable inference from the record Of the post
ponement of pleading TO December - which was
also granted. they waived Tfateve right priv
ilege they possessed to interpose plea In abate-
rnent. On this ground the plea should be over
rulGd.

to my feet, "T'ye been a selfish, tyran-

While / had longed for this mo-

RECALLED BY THE MINUTE GUN

Sitting within the twilight gloom
Whose gray webs drape my darkenins
= ROOM,
/ hear afar cannon boom;
A minute-gun beyond the bar,
Where white-maned waves and chaos are,
With clouds above and not star
And on that sound floats back to me
Another night far out at sea,
With grim Death facing you and me.
The wrack of low-hung leaden clouds,
The wall of wild winds through the
shrouds,
And frightened folk in shiverlng crowds
When every wave our vessel heeled,
And every timber racked and reeled
As near and drear deep thunder pealed
The last hope from them quilted and gone.
Deaths white-maned coursers charging
on.
I see your dear lips move in prayer,
Like silvered seaweed seems your hair,
Never your face more fond nor fair.
And then the close clasp of your arms
Which frightened with newborn alarms,
When Death could not abate your charms.
Than hours afloat upon a spar
Where white-faced corpses floating are,
Amid the breakers on the bar.
All limned again on storm clouds dun
Which quenched the gladness of the sun,
Awakened by that minute gun.
But through the darkness of the place
Shines forth the fondness of your face,
a md aaf fnt41
And, safe mid storm and lghtning's
brand.
While peril broods DER sea and land,
Warm touch of loving lips and hand.

In the vicinity of the Niagara falls
stands famous pear tree which is
nearly so years old. 1t is what the
Canadians call Bartlett, or, accord
ing to English nomenclature, Will
liam. For over quarter of CEN
tury it has produced from over five
to ten bushels of pears yearly, so
that at an average of 81 per bushel,
under which price the fruits have
never been sold, the owner derives
an annual income of $50 from this
famous tree. During the past 2i

ARCHBISHOP FALCoNIo.

Head of the Apostolic Delela-
tion at Washington.

Archbishop Diomede Falconio, who,
it is generally believed, will sue
ceed Mgr. MartinelIi as the head
of the apostolic delegation, is we'll
known throughout Canada and the
United States. The event possesses
a special interest for America, as
Archbishop Falconio was once pres
ident of st. Bonaventure's college in
Allegheny, Pa. He is an American
citizen, having taken out his papers
in Cattaraugus county. n. Y.
Archbishop Falconio was born III
