THE LAMENT OF ORPHEUs.

The LAMENT OF ORPHEUS.
For the Register
why need | mind all Hades gloom
If behold Eurydice?
Eurydice, my own beloved
on! how L long to be with thee.
With thee, naught Orpheus would fear,
It's solitude alone aDpalls,
While every strain of music, sweet,
My love, Eurydice, eer calls.
All, life is not worth having. dear,
If thou in HadeS must remain,
And thither shall go, dear love,
And try. thy freedom to regain.
Aides scarcely can refuse,
When my sweetest music play,
And in pathetic tones entreat
That l may lead my love away.
All. he is cruel, but then 1 know;
My music hath so great a charm,
That cen the F'uries scarce could wish
Poor lonely Orpheus a harm.
L IA coming love, Eurydice,
See. Hades ceases to torment,
To listen to my harps sweet strains,
Which seem dream from heaven sent
And pity to Aides heart,
The pathoS of my own hath sent;
o.. love, dear love, sing praises now,
To my request, he gives consent
And thou TO earth can'st follow me,
II forbear to look around.
The face of my beloved to see,
Until the outer world we've found.
Come, love. the gloomy path ascend,
TO dwell with thy dear love once more
All! how thy presence by my side,
VIII all my happiness restore.
We've almost reached the other world
Eurydice, oh! art thou there?"
And a she took backward glance,
He saw her face, so sweet and fair;
But, oh! a cruel and fatal hand
Drew back Eurydice, once more,
into the gloomy realms below,
/. While Orpheus could but deplore
And reach his arms in vain for her
oh, why! oh, why did 1 forget
And backward glance at my dear wife,
To make my life, henceforth, regret?
'Tis harder now than e'er before,
had my love so nearly gained,
Had | for but a little while,
From that last look, but lust refrained,
Then sweet Eurydice once more
W 0uld to my arms have been restored
O, love! dear love. how shall live?"
Heart-broken Orpheus deplored.
mo haunts of men shall I freouent.
/ shall but sit and long for thee,
My only consolation now,
Sweet strains of music e'er shah be-
And interviewer with its strains
Shall be my thought. Eurydice;
Twill utter but the sad. sad drge,
OF how L long to be with thee.
Eurydice! Eurydice,
This mortal life's so lonely, dear;
When | must tread its paths alone,
Without my loved. my darling, near
OH shall we never be again
Clasped in each others loving arms?"
Poor Orpheus doth grieving moan.
without thee, life has lost it's charms

1t is said the Morgan interests
bought out Carnegie in the interest of
peace and harmony. 1t looks as if
they would soon be called upon to buy
some more peace on the same terms,
if there is aught in the report that
Frick will erect another immense rival
to the Federal Steel Company in Chi
cago. Will not this method of quiet
ing competitors by buying them out
eventually cause the combination to
become topheavy and fall of it's own
weight?

DIR. wooLEY VS.. MRS. NATION.

DR.. Woolley, the late Prohibition can
didate for the presidency, does not en-
dorse Mrs. Nations brand of reform.
He is prominent in warning the anna
zonian hatchet-wielder that her meth
DDS will not be tolerated in Chicago.
In thus arraying himself on the side
of law and order as opposed to lynch
ing and mob-law the Prohibition lead
er does a greater service to his cause
among conservative and law-abiding
citizens thar tons of sermons against
the drink habit would do.
In threatening to move onto Chicago
and New York and conduct in those
cities the same kind of a campaign she
has been carrying on in Kansas. Mrs.
Nation confesses to astonishing ignor-
ance of the legal situation confronting
her. In Illinois and New York the
saloon is licensed and is under the
direct protection of the law, and she
could as easily hope for immunity in
WrecAing banks and business houses
as to expect to be permitted to WELD
her Ratchet in New York and Chicago
saloons without prompt interference by
the authorities.
In Kansas, where the saloon has no
legal standing, the case is differ
ent. Though Mrs. Nations methods
are lawless even there, yet there is
some ground for liberation of mob
which destroys the property OF
persons engaged in an unlawful traffic,
which the constituted authorities re-
fuse to suppress.
Mobbing or lynching at best is law
less, evil and dangerous, and tends to
weaken popular respect for statute law
and constituted authority.
For these reasons the bill introduced

a FIGHT rs NOT A FIGHT.

Prof. "Billy' Madden, long pre-emi-
nent in the world OF fistic science as
a mast master of the theory Of The
manly art, developed new and unsus-
Dected genius an as expert witness be-
fore the court at Cincinnati which is
trying to decide whether the proposed
contest between those giants OF pugil-
ism. Messrs. Jeffries and Rubin, will
come under the legal definition of prize
lighting or is to be simply an innocu-
Gus boxing contest.
Prof. Madden demonstrated with all
the hair-splitting ability of Philadel-
phia lawyer that there is no longer any
such thing as prize fighting. He held
up the mighty John L. Sullivan as TIE
last of the race of prize fighters ana de-
elares there have been no SUCH con-
tests since the famous gladiator from
the centre of eastern culture fought his
last battle
Corbett, Prof. Maiden declares, was
never in a prize fisht
There will be many of Mr. Corbett's
enemies, always ready to SANDER true
greatness who will boisterously agree
with Prof Madden. 1t is questionable,
: I r.fs5,t-sr. Whether Prof. Corbett, himself,
wiz view those exercises with Mr.. Fitz-
simmons, terminating with the landing
of that gentleman's fist in Prof. Cor
belts solar plexus, as in the line of
mere exercise for the health, which
Prof. Madden declares modern boxing
to he.
On the decision of the court as to
whether the proposed contest comes
under the head of prize fighting or a
course of scientific exercises for the
health Of the principals much depends.
We may yet be called upon to revise
our pugilistic nomenclature and refer
to the professors of the healing art of
slugging as Dr. Jeffries, Dr. Fitzsim-
mons, etc.

Charles Bolden, a boss-barber who in
augurated the early closing move during
the summer months. says that he is not
frightened at the threatened strike of

Monday morning. Bolden says that no
money is really made after o'clock at
night during the summer, and that he
can see no reason why the journeymen
should not be permitted to stop work at
1880, or s O'Clock. during the summer,
with the exception of Saturday nights.
The boss who is in favor of giving the
journeymen more time says that he is
quite certain that out of twenty-three
bosses in the city he can get eighteen to
agree to the change in-hours. Bolden
says that his receipts show that but lit
tie business is done after 7:3O o'clock,
during the summer, and that the amount
taken in hardly pays for the gas used.
The journeymen are keeping their affairs
a secret, but it is understood that the
demand for shorter hours will be made
of the bosses Monday morning.

WANTS NEW TRIAL.
Keeper of "Black and Tan Joint"
Was Convicted of Vagrancy.


Was Convicted of vagrancy.
Matte Jones, colored, was released
from the Changing yesterday on bail for
$500, furnished by her attorneys, w. N.
Clark and w. F. Slater, pending the
hearing of a motion for a new trial in
the City Court. The woman was re-
Gently convicted by Judge Norwood of
being a vagrant, and was sentenced to
pay a fine of $50 and costs or serve II
months on the county works.
The Jones woman was proprietress of
a place in the Tenderloin District and,
under orders from Superintendent Reilly,
was arrested by Detectives Stark and
Murphy. The officers swore in Police
Court that the woman ran what is
known in police circles as "a black and
tan joint" She was remanded for trial
by Recorder Myrick and the same testi-
n.ony was given by the detectives in the
City Court.
Considerable complaint had been made
to the police of places of this sort and
upon the statements made by the officers
Judge Norwood Immediately adjudged
the woman guilty of vagrancy. The wo-
man claimed that she was in no sense of
the word a vagrant and her conviction
was followed by an appeal for a new
trial. The police made war on the houses
of the "black and tan" class, and they
are now said to be thing of the past.
