song; this the one poetic subject that always kindled his imagination. To be sure, the treatment varies, as might be expected, but the inspiration of his po- etry is almost invariably drawn from this one source "Israfel' furnishes an exception, but it is an exception which proves the rule.
 This is Poe's greatest Limitations; and serious limitation it is. It under- mines the foundation of his claim to be- ing regarded a great poet, in the sense that English poets like Milton, Dryden, Byron, Wordsworth, Tennyson and many others that might be named are entitled to rank as great poets. Poe in my judgment is an artist in verse, q great artist, indeed. but hardly great poet It is true that he possesses "orig- inality in the treatment of themes, pe- rennial charm, exquisite finish in exe- cution, and distinction of individual manner'-elements of poetical great ness as set forth by an eminent Eng fish essayist and critic-but he lacks, it seems to me, one of the qualifications needed to entitle him to rank with the great poets His fatal defect is his nar- rowness of range.-Professor Edwin w, Bowen in the Forum

A TRUANT RETURNED TO HIS
 HOME.

Yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock Pa trolman Colett, on duty at the depot, took in charge small boy and trans ferred him through official channels to the central police station. If some- body had not cared for him there would have been more to tell.
 He was only six years old and at the station house he gave his name and address, but he added such a tale of woe that even the hard hearted" of ficials wondered greatly He had blue eyes, was dressed with mothers care and his face bore the trade mark of truth. But investigation of his story upset all previous guesses.
 But the police found that this bright young man left his home at a. m. yes- terday, went to school, disappeared at noon, walked toward the depot on trav- el bent was knocked down by wheel man, got the blackeye and scalp wound which he showed so sympathetically as result, and was. all told and in fact simply a truant who had played it once too often and had been caught.

 Amalgamated Copper gained 3 Is. The Tobacco stocks. Colorado Fuel, Consoli-. dated Gas, General Electric and Pacific Mail rose from to 3-4. Sugar was af- fected by the renewed conviction that an understanding existed between the compet ing interests. In the market at large there was little specific news to account for the activity. and strength beyond the general helief that the agreement arrived at in the Northern Pacific dispute carried with 1t an assurance of concord amongst all the great railroad powers. Northern Pacific stock sold at 150 and the closing was 100 bid and 1SO asked. Only one hundred shares were dealt in. One of the rumors current was that Northern Pacific stocks would be eX- by Union Pacific, St. Paul, Great Northern and Chicago and Northwestern, The specu- lation was largely based on general consid- erations, such as that time had demon strated that the stock market panic has eff fected no impairment of the prosperous losses adjusted a renewed advance was in order. The unimpaired earning power of properties and the renewed accumulation of capital 1t is argued points to renewed de- mand for securities
 The belief is prevalent that still further
 large readjustments in the relations and holdings of the great railroad systems, looking towards additional stability of con dittons, are still in contemplation, and 1t is argued that the panic in itself may have of railroad securities with these ends i'll view. An easier tone in the exchange mar ket indicated less probability of gold ex- ports this week.

POE FIFTY YEARS AFTER.

Like Lanier, another southern singer whose career offers almost as many pu- thetic incidents, Poe was endowed by nature with keen appreciation Of rhythm and music. He was pre- enli-
 nently melodist: and, what is more,
 the melody of his verse has not been
 equalled in the history of American lite-
 rature, and is not surpassed by any
 British poet. But, as has been already
 stated, bis register was not wide.
 Within limited range he could and did
 achieve remarkable results, as in the
 refrain of "The Bells" or "The Raven.
 The musical effect of the ballad of eith-
 CT of these poems was, up to the time of their publication, unequalled, and it has not been surpassed since. Poe, with d few choice words, like Pagan with
 his. simple violin, produced a spell which was truly marvellous. It is said of the great musician that such was his control of technique, that in every part of musical Europe, even with his very first notes, he held vast audiences spell-bound. It may be said of Poe, that such was his intuitive sense of beauty, and such the melody of his verse, that he arrested the reluctant at tention of the reading public of the two English-speaking nations, and by hiG haunting music cast glamour over their poets which none of them, after repeated efforts, has ever since succeed ed in reproducing. MT. Gosse tells us that Poe has proved himself to be the Piper of Hamelin to all later English poets, of whom there is hardly che whose verse music does not show traces of his influence. Surely, it is no small distinction thus to have stamped the impress of ones own genius for nle'odi- ous verse upon the succeeding genera tion of English poets, and that, to), of the Victorian era
 Poe is sometimes called poet of one poem, and the criticism is not altogeth- CT unjust. For to the world at large he is generally known as the author of 'The Raven" I think Mr. Stedman comes nearer the truth, however, when in an epigrammatic sentence, he says: "Poe was not single-poem poet, but poet of a single mood" The theme is the same in almost all his poems, ruin. This is the burden of his

THE WEBSTER ESTATE A
 MARSHFIELD.

l It was about the year 1880 that Dan- | iel Webster was driving from the Cape l to Boston in a chaise with his wife
 Going through Marshfield by the raod nearest the shore, he was attracted by the beauty of this locality. He probably
 stopped at the John Thomas residence l for entertainment, and inquired of MT.
 Thomas if he would be willing to sell | his farm and house. It is said he had l often stopped there, and there was a | warm friendship between them. MT. Thomas family had all been royalists and left for Nova Scotia during the Revolutionary war. Afterwards they | returned, but part of their estate was confiscated and the remainder had Gi-
 unfinished in value, and money was scarce with them. MT Thomas did not | take long to consider but named lis price, which Mr. Webster accepted,
 saying the family could continue to live there the same as ever. This agree
 ment was entered into and MT. Webs ter with his family came and went at their pleasure each year, the pleasant est relations existing between the two families. When deaths and marriages
 broke up the Thomas family, MT. Webs ter somewhat enlarged the house, build
 ing library addition, which his daugh-
 ter Julia assisted in designing. He also
 beautified the grounds greatly and en-
 larged the farm till he owned over fif-
 teen hundred acres. This absorbed
 the entire adjoining Winslow estate.
 About half mile away, down long
 grass-grown lane, is the hallowed spot
 known as the Winslow and Webster
 burying ground. He lie many whose
 history we read in a nations eyes, also
 few who had neighboring farms, and
 others whose interest in the spot made

 Phillips and the late Stephen M Allen being among the number In the cen ter is the Winslow lot, enclosed by an
 iron railing, Near by stands haad- some monument erected to the memo ry of the first settlers those whose headstones had become broken or ef- faced. This and the iron fence wEich encloses the whole yard were procured through the interest.and effort of Miss Thomas, the Marshheld historian and genealogist. A Webster Fair" was held at the Winslow house in 1854 for this purpose The Webster lot contains the remains of the entire Webster fam fly. Simple white marble stones mark the graves of each member of the fam fly.

THE STOCK MARKET
Speculation Very Animated Movement
 for Higher Prices.

New York, June 3-Speculation in stocks
 dealings showed substantial expansion
 over those of Friday. Both in character and volume of trading the market bore a
 close resemblance to that In the boom
 period Strenuous efforts were put forth
 by powerful financial interests to give it that appearance. There was an increasing
 interest on the part of the outside public demonstrated through the commission house orders executed in the market. But the market still continued for the most part in the hands of professional operators and the larger speculative interests. Much of the buying is predicated upon the con- dent assumption that the powerful financial interests of the country have reached q de- termination by tacit agreement to advance prices to higher level again and to at tempt to renew the speculative conditions prevailing before the upset in the second week of May. Buyers of last week were very heavy sellers to take profits to-day and this selling caused a very general re- action after the opening advance, which was fairly common to the whole list. Some of the stocks which were most conspicuous in. the opening advance did not do more than hold their own in the later dealings
 Others continued to advance while still others which were strong early last week and then reacted, renewed thir strength in the late dealings After the first general reaction the policy was adopted of adyanc ing first one and then another stock in se- quence. Realizing was continuous under cover of these movements. But the net result of the days trading was substan- tially higher level of prices at the close af- te "a day of great activity and variety. The steel stocks were consDicuously under of realizing after the opening rise and closed on the down grade with only was shown by St. Paul, Union Pa cific Southern Pacific, Missouri Pacific and in the final dealings the Readings and Fries.
