Other Companies Opposed to

Two companies have been organized
in Youngstown with the avowed pur-

that city. The information created
IA stir in the railroad world. One
line is backed by capital collected in
Youngstown and the other is supposed
to he project of the Richland & Ma
honing Railroad The former is to
connect all of the big industrial insti-
tutions by belt line and the latter
is to run from Girnrd TO Lowellsvillc.

THE POOR HEATHEN.

{ BY Joseph Wink in Masonic Voice ReviewD
Let us 60 and find the heathen; let us
take him by the hand;
Let us take his evil from him; let us
also take his land;
Let us break it to him gently that it's
wrong to be so nude,
And inculcate proper notions of the
style, as it's pursued.
Let us show him all the glories of the
white mans kingdom come,
And, by way of introduction, sell him
lots of white mans rum.
Let us seek our heather brother in be-
nighted lands afar,
And impress him with the wrongness
of his habits us they are:
Let us guide him slowly, surely, till
he's nobly civilized,
And has banished all his foibles, all
his fancies so despised:
Let us show him how he's destined
to so forward with jump,
Lest our grand, resistless progress
takes him 'midship with bump.
Let us teach him that the bolo and the
dagger are not right,
| When the seven-shooter follows up It's
barking with bite;
Let us bring TO him the gospel Of tho
shirt and full-dress suit,
And the glad and glorious tidlngs oI
the proper shoe or boot.
Let us lift the poor old heather from
| lnc DOp WnelNln he SUCKS,
And explain to him the beauties Of tn,
game of politics.
Thus Wen labor with the pagan til
he understands our ways
And will ponder with Il shudder on hi
old unhappy days.
We will stock his land with clothing
we will dot it with golf links,
And he'll hail the architecture of tn
home of fancy drinks;
And Wen get. the glory for it-for tn
good that we will do
All the grand, impressive glory--an
Wen get his money, too.
