Till the mantle yield
Would we raise the Bell on high,
Must the mould to atoms hy
The founder may destroy the mould
With cunning hand, if time it be-
But woe, if raging uncontrolled,
The glowing bronze itself should free
Blind-raging, like the crashing thunder,
1t bursts its tenement asunder,
And, as from open jaws of hell,
Around it spews destruction fell.
Where forces rule with senseless might,
No structure there can come to light;
When mobs themselves for freedom strive,
True happiness can never thrive.
Woe, when within city's walls,
Where firebrands secretly are pil'd,
The people, bursting from their thralls,
Tread their own path with fury wild
Sediton then the Bell surrounds,
And bids it yield bowling tone;
And, meant for none but peaceful sounds,
The signal to the fray spurs on.
"Freedom? Equality " they shout;
The peaceful townsman grasps his arms.
Mobs stand the streets and halls about,
The place with bands of murderers swarm,
Into hyenas women grow,
From horrors their amusement draw
The heart, still quivering, of the foe
With panther's teeth they fercely gnaw
All that is holy is effaced,
Rent are the bonds of modesty
The good is by the bad replaced,
And crime from all restraint is free.
Death-fraught the tigers tooth appears,
To wake the lion madness seems
Yet the most fearful of all fears
Is man obeying his wild dreams.
Woe be to him who, to the blind,
The heavily torch of light conveys
1t throws no radiance on his mind,
But land and town in ashes lays.
God hath hearken'd to my VOW
See, how like a star of gold
Peels the metal kernel now,
Smooth and glistening from the mould
Fen from crown to base
Sunlike CLEANS its face,
While the scutcheons, fairly pannd,
Praise the skilful artists hand.
Now let us gather round the frame
The ring let ev'ry workman SWELL
That we may Consecrate the Bell
CONCORDIA be henCeforth its name,
Assembling all the loving throng
In harmony and union strong
And this be the vocation fit
For which the founder fashioned it
High, high above earth's life, earth's labor,
Fen to the heav'ns' blue vault to soar,
To hover as the thunder's neighbor,
The very armament explore;
To be voice as from above,
Like yonder stars SO bright and clear,
That praise their Maker as they move
And usher in the circling year.
Tun'd be its metal mouth alone
To things eternal and sublime,
And, as the swift-winged hours speed on,
May it record the flight of time
Its tongue to Fate it well may lend
Heartless itself, and feeling naught,
MAY with its warning notes attend
On human life, with change SO fraught.
And, as the strains die on the ear
That it peals forth with tuneful might,
So let it teach that naught lasts here,
That all things earthly take their flight
Now then, with the rope so strong,
From the vault the Bell upweigh,
That it gains the realms of song,
And the heavily light of day
All hands nimbly ply
Now it mounts on high;

dria Harbor by Policeman Deane. of this

were missing. The police were notified.
While they were investigating the case
the boys were seen going down the river

capped by the absence of a patrol boat,

House of Detention.

Mrs. Margaret J. Leonard, wife of
James C. Leonard who lives at 121 Jeffer-
son Street, Anacostia, was arrested on
warrant sworn out by her husband about
4 clock yesterday afternoon, ON charge
of making threats. 1t is. alleged, how
ever, that Mrs. Leonard will be examined
as to her mental condition. and the real
charge preferred against her is one of in
sanity. sr
Mrs Leonard was removed to the House
of Detention. 1t was stated last night
that DR. Marbury had made an examina-
tion of the woman and that he had not
substantiated, by his examination. the
charge of insanity made against her by
Mr. Leonard. Last night Mrs. Leonard
was very historical, and wept almost con-
tinuously. She was visited early in the
evening by her youngest daughter.
Mrs. Leonard, 1t is alleged, has been vio-
lent for some time, and efforts which have
been made by her family to keep the mat
ter quiet were successful until yesterday,
when she is alleged to have become par
ticularly violent. Mrs. Leonard is also
alleged to have threatened to kill her
young children on several occasions, until
at last the case had to be brought to the
attention of the police. For some time
past. according to statements made by the
police. Mrs. Leonard has been particu-
larry boisterous and violent and had
caused considerable trouble and annoy
ance to her husband and children Her
condition is said to have been known to
several people in Anacostia. who united
with the family to prevent the facts from
becoming generally known.
Yesterday afternoon, according to the
police, Mrs. Leonard visited the saloon
kept by her husband at IS Harrison Street,
Anacostia, and created scene. Mr..
Leonard then went 20 the police station
and secured a warrant for her arrest,
charging her with having made threat IS
against the lives of her children. She was
taken into custody and removed TO Police
Headquarters. Sanitary Officer Frank
saw her and became interested In her
case. An examination into her sanity
will be made on Monday.

night was pathetic. Miss Leonard is
said to have sided with the mother against
her father in the present situation
The police last night We're anxious to
keep the facts in the case from becoming
public. 1t is alleged that Mrs. Leonard
has been Jealous for a long time AMI
that the jealousy has preyed upon her
mind.
Considerable sympathy Is expressed for
the family in Anacostia where they are
well known. According 10 a statement
made last night, ii is not believed that
Mrs. Leonard is insane, but that there
is some other motive back of her arrest.

TRIAL OF MRS. BONNIE.
The Case Attracting Much Attention
at the Court House.

Although it Is yet more than month
before the fall meeting OF the Supreme
Court of the District, which Will convene
the first Tuesday in October, the trial OF
Lola Ida Henry BONNIE, who is under in
dictment for the murder of James Sey-
mour Ayres. jr., is already Il subject Of
everyday discussion about the City Hall
Counsel for Mrs. Bonine, 1t is said, are
DESTROYS of calling the case to trial at as
early a day as is practicable and it is
also known that District Attorney Gould
is as anxious that the matter should be
submitted to jury.
Ii is believed that an effort will be made
to bring the case to trial during the lat
ter part of October. There are many who
predict, however, that Mrs. BONNIE will
not be called TO trial before possibly the
middle of November. In any event. when
the case is called to trial it is generally
conceded that it will be the most sensa-
tional case tried before the local courts
since the Schneider murder trial in the
early 80 s.
1t is also believed by those who are con-
versant with the length of time taken in
disposing OF important murder trials IN
the local courts that the hearing in the
Bonine case will occupy the attention of
the court for more than thirty days. 1t
is expected that there will be about seven
ty-five witnesses called on behalf of the
Government and probably as many more
for the defence.

DIPHTHERIA SIGN REMOVED.
Health Departments Explanation in
the LazerOw Case.

The diphtheria sign on the residence of
Max Lazerow. of 1886 B Street northeast,
was taken down yesterday by direction
OF the Health Department. DIR. Grafton
d. p. Bailey. the physician now in charge
of the patient, Pauline Lazerow, called
upon Health officer Woodward yesterday
and certified that the girl did not have
d.phtheria on August 20. He filed at the
same time the results OF an examination
on the Dist inst. by DR.. Wallace Johnson
of two specimens of blood serum culture
from the throat of the girl, which he pro-
nounced negative.
DR.. Woodward, the Health Officer.
stated that diphtheria signs were placed
on the house of patient upon the state
ment OF the attending physician, without
examining a culture or requiring the eX-
animation to be made. The physician in
such instances, said he, are supposed to
be competent authorities. Only In doubt
ful cases is an examination made by the
Health Department. and then only at the
request of the physician, and the exami-
nation is not imposed. Dr. Woodward
quoted the regulations governing the de-
partment in such cases.
The removal of the sign. he continued.
could be Immediately accomplished upon
the certification of the attending physi-
clan that the disease 40 longer existed,
or had not existed at all.
At the time of this interview with DIR.
Woodward. DIR. Bailey had not arrived,
and the Health Officer stated that he had
had no intimation that anything was
wrong or any request for the removal of
the sign until yesterday morning, when in
the early mail he had found a letter from
DR.. Bailey:
II fully intended seeing you today" he
writes. but was prevented by very press
ing business In regard to the case OF
Pauline Lazerow, 1886 B Street northeast.
] was called to see this case the night of
August Il. and on August 10 q diphtheria
card was placed on the house, l suppose
by direction o. a physician who was called
into attendance before ] was called in.
Mr.. Lazerow was very much opposed
to the card being placed on his house and
place of business. and by his demand
took cultures from his child s throat ana
he had them examined by DR.. Wallace
Johnson and both proved negative. Now,
doctor j would like you to have this case
investigated and corrected. If error has
been made These people are very much
exercised and have secured services OF
counsel and he has requested me to call
with him TO consult you tomorrow. l
hope that you will give this subject your
personal attention and accept this letter
as an apology for my not calling in per-
