HOPES TO FIND THE BOY.

NEW YORK, April 27-Captain OF
Detectives Titus held a conversation
over the long distance telephone to-day
with Detective McConville, of the CEN
trail office, who is in Washington, fol-
lowing what is thought to be. the most
important clue in regard to- missing
William Mccormick, of High Bridge,
that has yet been unearthed.
Captain Tilus said to-day that the
signature Gertrude found on the slim
OF paper that had been left at pho
tographer's in Washington by the two
gypsy girls arrested there yesterday
had been compared with the signature
of Gertrude Mccormick, the missins
boys sister, and that the two are al
most identical. Captain Titus said he
attached great significance to this clue
and now had hopes of finding the boy.

The crush for tickets the other morn
ing at the sale of seats for last nights
performance at the Opera House exem-
plifed the long felt want of com-
modious modern theater in this city.
This was one instance of many show
ing the utter inability of the present
Opera House to supply the needs of the
theatergoing public when a really
first class attraction is on the bill
Having to be on hand at six o'clock in
the morning and then running chances
of getting no desirable seats is crafty
ing ones taste for the theatre under diff
ticulties and creates no end of discom-
fort, disappointment and hard feelings.
Happily all this will be remedied when
or new theater shall be an accom-
plished fact Then there will be room
for the audience as well as for the
proper staging of plays.

A SONG OVER SEA.

No faint farewell-no tender clasp OF

In lifes receding beams
give you to unknown-undreame of
lands
Where Fate shall read your dreams.
Could not the spring, with violets in her
hair,
Tempt you to linger long?
ALAS dear heart. we trample unaware,
On the sweet flowers of sonS).
The lilies are yet eloquent of words
A worlds wealth would you hold?
Reap it in wind-swept melodies of birds
Spring. silver-Autumns gold.
Are any lands, sweetheart, as fair as this
Arcadian, Ger the foam?
Are crimson lips that seal an alien kiss
Sweet as the kiss of home?
Give your Gods grace! But in the dreamy
night,
Will you not look afar,
And see a ghost, in heavens of delight
OF a forgotten Star?
VI
A Ghost of Memory, no clasp OF
hands
In life's receding beams:
There shall be stars in undiscovered
Where Fate shall read your dreams.

The incident he mentions about "Spiv-

Hall. IS true, and the writer has in his
possession copy OF the poem printed in
the Inteiligencer the day following the
lecture and OF the publication OF an adj
vertisement, inserted by some wag, which
read In effect: ..Wanted-Four hundred
black cats. Apply early to-day at the
Register office" We had a few cats dur
ing the ensuing day or two, for small boys
brought, them from every quarter of the
city. The poem was base imitation of
the Charge of the Light Brigade and
opened:
Half a square, half square,
half a square onward!
Up to the office door
Went the half hundred
From many a fireside which
Bad boys had plundered.
Into the Office there
Marched the half hundred
Forward the Cat Brigade
Black ones preferred it read,
Into the counting room
Rushed the half hundred"
And SO on for a quarter of column.
The closing verse was:
Meanwhile the cat brigade
Beat a retreat
All gone. the devil said,
Far down the street.
Then back his courage came;
Then he forgot the shame,
And he fixed all the blame
OF his defeat.
Sailed he out again,
Armed with his mighty pen,
Wanting to see man
And notice him neat"
Those were the good old times in the.
newspaper business in Wheeling when
there was some fun In the business. It's

PARIS, April 27.-The hospitality
shown to the French training ship
Duguay Trouin, at Baltimore, Annap-

WHAT WOULD JESUS DO.

For the Register.
If you cannot tell the right way.
Know which course that you should
choose
When your mind is so bewildered,
That you fear to follow impulse,
In case. gossip from it grew;
Do not think of peoples notions,
Just ask, What would Jesus do?
Do as He would. then no matter
what the whole wide world may say,
You will know the path you've taken
Is the best and Christian way.
Should your sympathy be needed.
By those from whom man withdrew,
Go and comfort; help inspire them,
Just as Christ Himself would do
Did He ever think of self first
Stop to think what man would say,
Ere the Fathers call TO comfort
He would hasten to obey
No, He eer was full of mercy
And forgiveness for mems sins
Ready too, to lift souls upward
As their change of heart begins.
Too much policy we oft have
That crowds out the impulse. good:
And considerations worldly.
Keep from doing good we should
Let orr hearts now err no longer,
Question. What would Jesus do:
Do as God then sends the answer,
To His teaching eer he true

THE UNKIssED MAN.

Prof. Algie r. Crook, professor OF min
erology and petrology of the Northwest
ern University, who made the state
ment in class the either day that he had
never uttered profane word, or drank
intoxicants, or chewed or smoked to-
bacco. and had never Rugged or kissed
a woman or girl, has become the
cynosure of all eyes as a remarkable
human curio. The professor is thirty
seven and a handsome man, athletic and
erudite and thus speaks of the mat
ter:
Il do not think that there is anything
unusual in my case. The campus is full
of boys who do not drink, smoke or
chew.
II am not a crank. / can enjoy a
time with the boys-an intellectual
time drink soda and water, and we
will talk the classics. the master poets,
the dramatics, and 1 even like Byron
and B.srns, who represent what 1 am
not l like them for their human ma
ture.
II keep my mind off women by study.
read, read, read, not only in my own
speciality, but in world literature. An
appetite for good reading is the best thing
to keep a man in the right path"
But there is trouble ahead for the
Professor. So long as he refrained
from boasting and said nothing, keeping
ms immaculate virtue to himself the
fair sex let him alone, failing probably
to distinguish his shining light amid
the common herd, but now that he has
publicly thrown down the gauntlet to
womankind as it were, centering on
himself the attention of whole school
full of femininity and whole lot more
outside, it behooves the Professor to
take in sell and keep close to the wind.
There be troublous times ahead for him,
or we fail to read the storm signals
Alright.
It's all right not to drink, nor to use
tobacco in any FORM seriously declar-
ed one of the senior Goods as with
downcast eyes she submitted to an in
terview, and we all love and reverence
Prof Crook for never using bad words,
I but
No need to explain that demure 'but. I"
The fair student has her eye on that
professor who has lived unkissed for
thirty-seven years. AS one old citizen
of Evanston expressed it: There will
be no living in the same town with em
now. Every girl in the university will
be trying to see what she can do with
him, and there are couple would like
TO bet on. If they set their hearts on
getting him guess he's lost
There are two views in Chicago of
Prof. Crook. The men don't believe
him and the women smile in a danger
Gus kind of way that would cause the
Professor to take to the woods if he
wasn't as blissfully ignorant of the sex
rs he claims to be.
