Fadeless she smiles to see her shield upborne:
II is her morn. her morn!
The past. but twilight ushering in her day.
Strong Mother, thou who from the doorways old.
Or housed anew in beauty renovate.
Hast spread thine heritage a hundredfold,-
Hast wrought US to thy mould
Whether the bread of ease or toll we ate;
Thou who hast made thy sons coequai all.
The least one Of thy progeny peer
Wearing for worth not birth his coronal,-
The watchmen on thy wall
Wax proud this sundawn Of thy cyclic yearl
The lustres of a new-won armament
Spanned from the height thine upmost turrets
Reiume the course whereon thy thoughts are
bent
whereto the words are sent
That bid thy children pass the lineage down.
Ere yet that rainbowed dome thou seest COM
piete.
Mankind be sure. shall Earth more nobly share:
No churl his measure shall unduly mete;
And where are set thy feet
Life shall be counted lordlier and more fair.
Science shall yield new spells for man to know,
And bid thee consecrate TO mortal veal
All that her henchmen in thy gates bestow;
Nor lofty then, nor low.
Save 10 his race each ministrant is leal
Thine be it still the undying antique speech.
The groves high thought the wing'd Hellenic
Tyre,
Unvexed Of soul thy acolytes to teach
So shall they also reach
Their lamps. and light them at quenchless fire!
And WELD the trebiy-welded English tongue.
Their vantage by inheritance divine,
Invincible the laurelled lists among
Wherein the bards have sung
Or sages deathless made the lettered line;
TIL now. for that sure Pentecost to come.
The globes four winds are winnowing apace
Fresh haryestings of speech, in one 10 sum
A worlds curriculum
When East and West forgather face 10 face
Thus first imbued, thy coming host the clues
To broad achievement shall descry the more;
What thou hast taught them shall in statecraft

In council by the shoal ancestral bay,
To speak the wOrd,-to pray
To found the enduring shrine without a name.
Ye, at the Witchery of whose golden wand
New cloisters rise TO splendor in a night
Find here your model! Here the barriers stand
That were not made to hand
That have the puissance Time confers Alright
Born with the exit Of that iron age
When Nova Anglia TO NeW-England grew,
Learning's new child put up hermitage,
Whereof gody mage
AS from mount the boundaries foreknew;
No oracle betokened the obscure
Grim years encountering which the elders bowed,
Yet knew not faintness nor discontinue,
But set the buttress sure
That should upstay these tabernacles proud;
These fanes that bred their patriot TO vie
In steadfastness erect of thought TO live.
Or, when the country bade, undauntedy
Without lament TO die
Save that he had but one young life to give.

Now round the sheen to Asia and the Pole,

THE STRIKE AT NEWPORT NEWS
Both Sides Declare Against Making
any Concessions

Newport News. Va. July S.-The
monotonous record of the machinists'
strike has been punctuated in h last
two days by two events. both likely
to have some influence on the situation.
Sunday, James O'Connell, president
of the International Association of Ma
chinists, arrived here and. after d
dressing a meeting of the strikers, had
a conference with w. A. Post, general
superintendent of the Newport News
Shipbuilding and Drydock Company.
He asked Mr.. Post what the company
would do to end the strike and Mr..
Post informed him that the company
would make no concession whatever.
Mr.. O'Connell made no proposition. but
returned and reported the result of the
conference to the strikers. who voted
to stay out until their demands are
granted.
This afternoon, Mr.. Post sent a letter
to E. j. Mulcahy, president of the local
lodge of machinists, notifying him that
any of the men applying for work be-
tween the date of the letter and Z
o'clock Thursday morning next, would
be re-employed. Those not intending to
return to work were notified that they
must get their tools out of the yard
before Thursday as their places would
be filled and their services would no
longer be required.
1t is believed that the mex three or
four days may be productive of devel-
opments, though. on the surface, there
is no change in the attitude of the
strikers.

not meet the approval of the board Of

RAVAGES OF THE PLAGUE
One Hundred Deaths a Day in Annoy.
Earlier Appearance than Usual

Washington, July S.-Consul Johnson
at Annoy, China, reports to the secre-
tary of state the appearance of plague
at that place two weeks earlier than
usual this year. His statement is lated
May 18th. He says he has refused to
permit Chinese steerage passengers to
depart to Manila and adds:
The spread of the plague during the
past ten days Las been rapid and the
fatalities most appalling 1t is impos-
sible to give approximately
data as no statistics are kept by the
officials and no amour of inquiry can
result in accurate figures. 1t is my
opinion, based upon the most reliable
data from native sources. that during
the week just closed there were as
many as 100 deaths per day in Annoy
and it's uburbs The same condition
of affairs exists in surrounding cities
within thirty miles of Annoy"
The representative of the marine
hospital service at Hong Kong also re-
ports the earlier appearance Of the dis
ease in that city and a more rapid
spread than usual. He says that sew
eral Europeans have been attacked.

night hat they were in to stay to the
end of the season. The collapse of the
Richmond team was by no means unex-
pected and of course Norfolk had to go
too, Is a V team league is an impos-
sibility. The fact that the league is
made up now entirely of North Carolina
teams naturally increases the interest.
It is understood here that the Norfolk
players will be sold by Cunningham to
the best advantage. Efforts made by
Detroit to get Person and by New Or
leans to get Stanley have failed. These
are two of Raleigh's strong pitchers.

Not to Change Present Jury system

Montgomery, Ala, July S.-The consti-
tutional convention, after an animated
debate, decided not to change the pres
ent jury system. which iran the
right of trial by jury.
The pending question was on Section
II OF the proposed constitution which is
arouSing great interest all over the
state. An amendment by the minority
that three-fourths of a jury shall find
a verdict in civil cases was the princi-
pal cause of contention. MI. Long, of
Walker, opposed the amendment. He
said 1T was brought up by men hostile
t corporations. who wanted TO get bie
damages out Of them. TT is a scheme
to work corporations for damages. and
it invites their hostility to the consti-
tuition. he concluded.
