Mrs Newton arrived in Washington late

and Ohio Railroad She will remain in
Washington for some time. In all prob

At the depot Mrs. Newton was met by
MIR. Bonine. At once they went to 222
North Capitol Street, the house adjoining
the Kenmore on the south. where quar-
ters had been secured for Mrs. Newton.
Much to her disappointment. the hour Of
arrival was too late to make a visit to the
District jail. The meeting was neces-
Sarily deferred but in all probability the
sisters. who have been separated since
some time before the Ayres tragedy last
spring, will greet each other this morn

the children will then be discussed. 1t
will also be decided whether Mrs Newton
will remain for the trial of Mrs Bonine.

November.
All during the ordeal to which Mrs. Bo-
nine was subjected Immediately after the
tragedy, and after she had made the
statement that she shot Ayres in an at
tempt TO protect her honor, Mrs. Newton
has been kept closely advised of the pro-
ceedings She has always maintained the
strongest faith in the truth of her sisters
statement. Since the beginning of Mrs.
Bonine's long confinement in the District
jail the prisoner has often expressed the
hope that her sister would soon be able
to come TO Washington; II was not until
comparatively recently that arrangements
were made whereby Mrs. Newton was
able to start on the long Journey half way
across the continent '..

A DREAM OF GOOD TIMES.

Let US dream of the good times-tne
good times to be,
When the fair fruit shall bend every
branch o the tree
And the rivers in music shall sing to
the sea.
And the world will be joyous forever,
Let us dream of the good times-when
blithest farewells
Shall be said unto Sorrow in cities and
dells:
With only the bird-songs- chime
o. the bells
In world that is joyous forever,
Let us dream of the good times. when
over the wrong
The white Right shall triumph with
bright sword and strong;
When the wide world shall echo one
jubilant song
In the light of the morning forever!
