M E..

Through many, many summers
l look, as through glass,
And see world OF showers and flowers
And laughing children pass,
And in her big blue sunbonnet
One other little lass
lass who watched the swallows
Skim just beyond her hand
And where the flickers fled and speo
And nests OF hang birds famed
And felt those birds were fairy folk
On wing to fairyland.
In her warm fist she carried,
Trudging Ger hills and dales,
In tiny papers laid and weighed
AS if in fairy scales
The salt that catches bobolinks
When sprinkled on their tails
A little lass and wistful,
Who gazed up the far sky,
And reached for fairy things and wings
In vain and wondered why;
Poor little lass, wonder still,
Could she be really /?

MAGNATES BUSY
IN THE SOUTH
Huntington and Hellman
Plan Work at Los
Angeles.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LOS ANGELES, Oct 10.-Two men Of
many millions met in Los Angeles to-day
to discuss that portion of the city's fu-
ture that is to be gridironed by urban and
interurban railway lines. They were H.
e. Huntington and 1. w. Hellman, and it
was the first opportunity the two mag
mates had had for months for a solid busi-
ness discussion.
Mr.. Huntington came to town nearly a
week ago. Mr.. Hellman arrived this
morning. They held long conference in
the afternoon and another at night in the
Hotel Van Nuys, and the result of their
agreement means the distribution of a
million and more in the local field within
Il very short time.
I'VE are preparing to spend d large
amount of money during the coming year,
and it will be spent in Los Angeles. l
cannot say what the amount will be, but
1t will run into the millions" This was
the statement of Mr.. Hellman.
Mr.. Huntington said: ''The belt line road
will be built, and that soon. The story
that we paid S32 600 for the franchise for
the mere purpose of keeping out rivals is
silly. to say the least. On the contrary,
once, and it will be ready for service
within the time allowed in the franchise.
We already have on the ground sufficient
steel to set the work well along.
Mr.. Hellman and 1 have had no oppor-
tunity for discussion for many weeks,
and our plans have been long In matur
ing. but we now have brought matters
to such a point that definite, final action
is necessary, and that is the reason of our
meeting here
1t is the avowed intention of the Hunt
ington- -Hellman syndicate to hereafter
make Los Angeles and it's vicinity the
chief field of its operations. 1t has been
generally understood for some time that
the Market Street railway system of San
Francisco has been all but transferred to
a wealthy Baltimore syndicate, and $15,-
100000 has been named the purchase
price.
Mr.. Huntington admitted to-day that
his aunt Mrs. Coils P. Huntington, may
donate to the city of San Francisco the
big Huntington mansion on Mob HILL in
that city.

subcommittee. and the result Of their action
as presented by their own committee was sim
ply to indorse what the deputies committee
had reported, leaving out entirely this question
in the message Of the House of Bishops about
prohibited degrees; the committee of the house
had omitted any mention of them.
Deputy Hicks of Arkansas thought that para
graph l of section was not required at all,
for the reason that section provided that the
clergy must observe the laws of the State in
solemnizing marriages.
Deputy George F, Henry of Iowa said that
We're ms SAVING ee1 that ith the ministers
of the church could violate the law. Section
required compliance with the law. The first
clause Of section said that if the parents be
resident of a foreign country the minister could
disregard the law.
Of the parent or guardian living in foreign
country was not required, then what did it
mean? This was intended to waive the con-
sent of the parent guardian because that
person was in Rome, perhaps. The committee
had left it in section 8, and then they had said
that ministers can disregard Jaw.
Deputy Stetson of New York hoped that the
last eight words of paragraph of section
serted to call the attention of the clergy to
particular phase of laws relating to the consent
of parents to children's marriage and the canon
should not allow those laws to be violated.
CAUSES A ROAR OF LAUGHTER.
Rev. Dr. Gait of Easton said that his object
in rising was simply to make a motion because
there too much in this section that they
could not afford to lose, and there seemed to
him to be some danger Of losing 1T unless they
went back upon their action in regard to the
motion Of DR.. Nevins of Rome
'I therefore, said he, "as who voted
against his resolution that we reconsider
the resolution offered by the Bishop of
Rome"
The house roared with laughter at the verbal
slip. II hope that this lapsus linguae will
prove prophetic said he, and the house laugh
with him the deft way in which had
extricated himself and voted with him to re-
consider
Deputy Rowland Evans of Pennsylvania
moved as substitute for the pending amend
ment the following: Strike out the words:
Person who under the law of the place of mar
riage is not free to marry without the consent
of parent or guardian and insert in place of
those words the word minors" so that the
clause should read follows:

mountain Krupp guns and 100000 car
tridges. Guerrlllas of the surrounding
country have met the expedition, and
troops are now being drilled for the at
tack upon Panama, which will be by both
land and sea. General Alban has less than
1000 soldiers in Panama, and in the city
prisons are 500 Liberal prisoners. The for
eign element in Panama is all with US,
and 50 per cent Of the natives. In fact,
the city is nearly deserted, as men have

render. If our demands are not complied

CALL BUREAU, 14o6 G STREET, N.
W., WASHINGTON, Oct. O.-Bulgaria'
efforts to rescue Miss Stone may lead to
her death. From what the Washington
authorities have been inclined to criticize
as dilatoriness the Bulgarian Government
has jumped to the utmost energy in con-
nection with Miss Stones case. Advices
received by the State Department show
that a military force has been set in mo-
ton against the mountain stronghold In
which the brigands with their captive
have taken refuge. Consul General Dick
brigands will not hesitate to murder Miss
Stone. He is making urgent representa-
tions to the Bulgarian Government to di-
rect its force to await the result of the
negotiations with the brigands before
authorizing an attack. Once the woman
is liberated this Government will urge
the arrest and punishment of all con-
cerned in Miss Stones abduction.
CONsTANTINoPLEs, Oct Oct 1.-THE Sur sur
garian troops on Gueltepe Mountain, on
the Turko- Bulgarian frontier, near Dub
nitza, has commenced. The presence of

Dubnitza are supplying the outlaws with
food.
LONDON, Oct 10-With reference to
the announcement that the Turkish and
Bulgarian Troops are surrounding the alb
ductors of Miss Stone the Globe says that
1t considers that unless the movement is
suspended until she is safe out of the
hands of the brigands there will infallibly
be a repetition of the tragedy in Greece
during the year 1870, when Lord Muncas-
ter and a party were captured. Lord
Muncaster was released in order to nego-
tiate for a ransom of 5,000.l Then, as
now, an attempt was made to surround
the ,brigands with the result that four
gentlemen of The party were murdered.
Lord and Lady Muncaster and a party
of English travellers were seized by Greek
brigands April II, 1870 at Oropos, near
Marathon. Lord Muncaster and the la
dies of the party were sent to treat for
the G25000 demanded as ransom, with a
free pardon for the brigands The latter
were surrounded by troops, and in re-
treating, on April 21 killed Mr.. Vyner, Mr..
Lloyd, Mr.. Herbert and Count de Boyl.
The incident caused great excitement,
especially as many influential persons
were charged with connivance at the
brigandage Several of the brigands were
killed and seven were captured, tried and
condemned May % Of the same year. On
June 90 1870, five of the brigands were ex-
ecuted.
