ODE TO AN OLD DOLLAR BILL.


L.
O, ragged, faded thing,
Thy odor is not reminiscent of the rose;
How limp thou art! Unto thy edges cling
Ten billion deadly microbes, ] suppose
And yet there's independence in thee, too.
And courage-yea, and strength! There's
that in thee
Which makes me long to do
The best that lies in me
There's that in thee which makes me dare
To pass a thousand daggers every day
There's JOY in thee! Where thou art
there
Hope builds her nest and frightens doubt
away!
All, thou are clammy to the touch
But, yesterday, mayhap, thou dldst re-
lease
From some white throat a demons angry
clutch
With thee, perhaps, went peace
To some dark haunt, where hate or sor-
row sat-who knows
What aches have fed because of thee,
What little children thou hast caused tc
laugh, how many a rose
Has bloomed because of thee?-Ab, me,
Here on thy smeared and faded face
/ read the history of mani Thou art the
boon 4,
For which he goes through danger and
disgrace
And |, alas, must part with thee so soon!

Philadelphia. Penn.-Josephine East
wick is the daughter of Edward 5.
Eastwick and IA niece of Andrew NJ.
Eastwick, who lives in Philadelphia.
Her mother was a member of the ia
nous Miles family, of this city, ana
from her mothers estate Josephine
and her sister Huldah inherited prop
erty valued at more than S100.Ooo.
Josephine always had a marked IN
nuence over Huldah, and when they
received their money they became es-
ranged from their father and other
members of the family and went TO
New Orleans to live. There they
lived extensively and entertained
magniiicentIy. Thence they went to
London, about three years ago. Ihcre
Josephine put herself under the tutel-
g of a well-known horsewoman and
soon gained fame as a whip.
She purchased n coach, and she and
Huldah toured England and Scotland
in it. Having finished this tour they
returned to this country, and for som
time lived in New York City. There
Josephine dealt in the stock market,
and lost n great deal of money. The
worry caused by this broke down her
health, and it was necessary to place
her in Il private sanitarium for several
months. When she recovered she and
Huldah went to Washington, d. C..
This was in the winter of 1S99-1900,
and during that period they lived very
quietly. O%yertures were made to
Josephine by her father during that
time and they became reconciled. She
expressed Il desire to go to Europe
again, and early last spring she and
Huldah and their father sailed for
Liverpool.
Relatives We're given to understand
that Josephine's intention was to use
the knowledge she had obtained on
her coaching tOur TO get up and con-
duet similar parties for compensation.
This seems to have been successful,
for it is said that she made money.
The mania for speculation seized her
again, however, and she is said TO
have had large dealings with New
York, brokers by cable. Again she
lost, and it is presumed here that her
losses again affected her mind.

of the name of Beacon of On she
showed American securities, which
were seemingly first class, of the nom
inal value of 100000, and later she
said she had 1000 shares of Ii Cana
dian Pacific Railway. She requested
a loan on her securities, and the bro
ker agreed to advance her money.
Tater If was discovered that a Cana
dian Pacific certificate for five shares
had been raised. The proper types
and inks had been used, but the per-
son who had altered the certlhcate
had neglected to change the revenue
stamps, the law calling for a shilling
stamp for each f400. This led to the
detection of the swindle. When the
woman was arrested she said: Il nave
no defence TO make"
A witness testified that the woman
told him she had cabled to a Philadel-
phia banker to break open her strong
box and forward her securities to her.
Later she showed the broker a cable
dispatch from Philadelphia, in which
the banker refused to do as she re-
uuested. The oma said that she
had subsequently, sent to America for
securities amounting in value to t4o,-

that the affair was the climax Of q
plot to ruin hin.
He resigned his Enthusiastically and
came to the United States where he
believed that he could find field for
his talents in the Centennial EXPOSE
ton which was about to be held in
Philadelphia. Through his efforts tho
exhibit Of China was one of the best
at this historic exposition and the
Americans who met him declared that
he was the most brilliant Chinaman
with whom they had ever become ac-
quainted. He lived in luxurious style
and his wealth seemed to be mex
baustible. After the exposition he
returned to Europe and entered the
Heidelburg University, where he took
a degree in civil engineering and a
minor course in surgery. For some
time after this 1t is not known what
he did, but he eventually returned to
the United States and located in
Philadelphia, where he continued to
live in princely style. Later he went
to Baltimore and established a syndl-
cate OF laundries, of which he was
the capitalist, and then he went to
Chicago.
That was the last heard of him un-
TIL few days ago when doctor was
called to attend a dying Chinaman
who was lying in a barren room In
an old dilapidated house in the rear
Of 934 Race street. Philadelphia. There
was not a table, chair, or even a
stool in the room. Against a dark
wall stood two wooden saw-horses.
Across them were two boards covered
with filthy newspapers. On this rude
bed lay the patient. The physician
recognized In the worn and wasted
form the former mandarin, diplomat,
scholar and millionaire, Leung Sing.
He was unconscious and dying with
consumption. He was dressed In a
frayed blue jumper and torn and
| dirty pair of overalls. The physician
had him removed to the almshouse
where in few hours he breathed his
last. How he lost his money no one
knows and perhaps no one cares

and no doubt death was welcome. He
sleeps in Potter's field and through

There Is considerable national inter
est in the announcement made recently
by Senator George Graham Vest that
he will retire from public life at the
end of his present senatorial term. The
senator is almost the last OF the IA
nous group that was for years the
chief part OF American official life.
They were Conkling. Blaine, Bayard,
Thurman, Voorhees,, Beck. Cockrell,
Vance, Hamlin. Morrill,. ingalls, and
David Davis-all giants representing
variety OF ideas. many sections. and
millions OF people. Senator Vest has
long been rated as one OF the famous
senatorial debaters of all American
history. His sharp and ready tongue,
brilliant In rspartee. terrible in invec-
tive, and classic In certain phases OF
its humor. has been a delight to his
friends and plague TO his enemies
A story told about Senator Vest and
a boy is somewhat illustrative of the
senator's methods In getting close to
the people The time was not more
than ten years ago. when his senate
rial seat was not in danger. The boy
was an 1s-year-old reporter on the

Ernst Andree. brother of the ex-

heard from by the latter part of the
coming summer, Ernst Andree Is thor
oughly acquainted with his brothers
plans and is better able to discuss the
probable fate of the polar expedition
than any other living scientist. He
has made study of the movements OF
the northern ice pack, of aerial cur
rents in that latitude, and Of the known
bodies of land in pr ,ximity to the pole.
He assisted the explorer in designing,
equipping and testing the balloon In
which S. A. Andree and two compan-
ions started from Norway for the north
pole July IL, 1897. A note dated July
10, 1897. was brought back by O car
rier pigeon four days after the start
was made No word has been received
since from the party Ernst Andree
advances the theory that the balloon
was blown about by conflicting cur
rents of air and finally set down at
point from which it would take the
party three arctic summers to reach
the neighborhood of Hudson bay. Il
expect to hear from my brother during
the coming summer or autumn" says
Ernst, but in case he does not return
by that time l must admit that the
chances of his being seen alive again
are very Slim" Herr Andree scouts
the idea that the balloon has been
wrecked, and it asserts that the party
could travel in it with even more
safety than in sledges. 1t was put
together, he says. without regard to
expense, and every precaution possible
was taken to make 1t absolutely safe
and able to resist violent shock
Moreover, in the water the balloon
was almost as manageable as boat.

most of the basket to her home in

splendid. Then she laments and she
says that her family and friends who
enjoyed the basket all lament their
inability to get such fruit in the Lon
