A Song of Life.

Did 1 seek life? Not so; it's weight was laid
upon me,
And yet of my burden sore may not myself
free.
Two love. and 10. at loves call, a hapless soul
must wake;
Like slave it is called to the world. to bear
life, for their loves sake.
Did seek love? Not so; love led me along by
the hand.
Love beguiled me with songs and caresses while
i took note of the land,
And 10, / stood in a quicksand, but Love hal
wings and he fled;
All, fool, for a mortal to venture where only a
god may tread,
Anne Reeve Aldrich.

The Passion play Tonight.

The lecture at the Grand tonight on
"Oberammergau: Its People and Its Pas
sion Play" is evidently to be well attend
ed, for the sale of seats, which opened
Thursday, has been very large. NJ
Feichts lecture greatly pleased all who
attended it last Sunday night, and the rep
etition was made necessary by the number
of people who were turned away. The lee
ture is one of the finest ever given in this
city. Mr. Feicht Is a speaker of no mean
ability, telling the simple and touching
story of the Passion Play in a deeply sym
pathetic way. His lecture is illustrated
with over two hundred stereopticon views
made from photographs taken especially
by him while he was in Bavaria last sum-
mer; the only complete set of Passion Play
pictures ever secured.

posed resolution to be printed and

ings by postal card.
The question of providing a library

troduced by Secretary Thompson. 1t
was discussed at some length and re-
ferred to the Board of Directors for

Mr.. McMechen offered a resolution
to the effect that a committee be ap-
pointed to work up interest in Mer-
chants Day for July 18th. The
chair suggested that the standing
Committee on Public Celebrations
would have jurisdiction. Mr.. McMech-
en- accepted the suggestion, and his
idea was put in writing, any pro-
gramme made in conjunction with
the city officials to be subject to the
approval of the Board of Directors.
There was objection by Mr.. Baer as to
the date. MIR. McMechen thought
without a date the committee would be
going it blind"
Mr.. Baer-What great man was
born on July 18th, Mr.. McMechen?
Mr.. McMechen-I do not know the
exact date Of your birth. (Laughter.)
Mr.. Baer thought the average pocket
book would be pretty empty 20 soon
after July 4th. A discussion followed,
and Mr.. Baer's motion to strike out
the date was overwhelmingly adopted,
as was the original as amended. The
matter now goes to a committee for
consideration and the selection Of a
date.

deeply and prominently interested in
iron and steel manufacturing, that in
his opinion no other section of the
United States afforded equal facilities
for the manufacture of iron and steel
as the Wheeling district. President
Laughlin added that it would be OBJ
served that this unsolicited testimonial
came from a man whose natural SYM
pathies were elsewhere.
Business being concluded, the Board
adjourned.
