Of Newport appointed to act in the
matter of the automobile races on Aug.
80 held a meeting the other night and

There will also be a reserve squad Of q
half dozen men that can be called upon
in case of an accident. The city sofic-
itor has also been instructed to draw
up a form of agreement, which every
automobilist who starts in the race
must sign, which releases the city from
any expense caused by an accident If
one refuses to sign this agreement, be

1t has been decided to have the races
start and finish in front of CrossWays,
the villa Of Stuyvesant Fish The
course will be around the drive and
across Carroll avenue, coming out by
MI. Fish's again. Red danger flags
| will be placed at all roads and every
precaution taken to prevent any acct
dent.
The petition sent to the city asking
for permission to hold the races was
headed by the name Of Mrs. Herman

Midsummer.

The katydid is In the grass.
The locust in the tree,
And, one by night and one by day,
They're singing merrily.
The butterfly sips nectar from
The cup Of every fow'r,
And sweets are gathered by the bee
In garden, field nj bow'r
The berries CLEAN through tangled vines
Along the dusty way; +
In fields the tasseled rows Of corn
Amid the breezes sway.
High up in air the sable crows
Go by with tapping wing,
And from their coverts in the woods
The timid rabbits spring.
The branches in the orchards droop
Within the passer's reach,
Borne down by ever growing weight
OF apple, pear and peach.
And now and then one leaves the stem
To which it long has chung,
For it has mellowed ere its time
Or to its heart was stung.
Down where the sea forever rolls,
Or on the mountain crest,
Or where the breezes sweep the lake,
Man now is finding rest.
A vigor new is in the step,
And hearts in rapture leap,
For there is gladness all the day,
And with the night comes sleep.
There's beauty in the lake and sea
And on the hill and plain;
The sunshine gilds the woods and fields5
There's blessing in the rain.
The charms of nature now are seen
In all their glorious prime,
Tor there has Come to us again
= The noon OF summer time.

The pathetic tenderness and faith
fulness of the Japanese wife Of Sir
Edwin Arnold in his stricken condition
have caused great comment 10 social
and literary circles in London, says
the New York Evening Journal Sig
Edwin has lost the sight Of his eyes,
and as a result of paralysis he cannot
walk a step. Constant and tender in
her devotion to him is his little dark
faced wife, who before her marriage
was Mrs. Watanabe, the widow of a
distinguished officer of the Japanese
army.
The talk of the town was Sir Edwin's
marriage to his sweet faced wife. He
met her in Yokohama in 1891 when he
was visiting Japan with his daughter
Edith. Their marriage was sudden,
SO sudden that Miss Edith was shock

ASSASSINATION OF PRESI
DENT MCKINLEY.

1t is not difficult to account for
the assassination of Abraham Lin
coin, for it came when the pass
sions of a great civil war we're at
white heat. The assassination Of
James A. Garfield grew directly
out of factional ST. rife within the
Republican PARTY, a strife more
bitter and more determined than
that party had experienced. BIT
the assassination of William Nc
Kinley comes in prosperous
times when every mill is IN ope-
ration and no man is necessarily
idle; it comes when tranquility OF
the deepest sort prevails in poll
tics-when contentment, peace
and happiness are on every hand
and in every grade Of society.
This assassination shows that no
condition Of affairs will satisfy
the mad reformers of the world.
It shows that such men are full
Of danger at all times to the re-
public. Alas! it does not show
how such selt.crazed men can be
Identified, restrained and eradi-
Gated. They are the curse of all
countries, and America is gett ng
it's full share of them.
The stricken President is per
haps the most popular man thai
eyer filed the Presidential flee.
He has none of the obstinacy OF
Grover Cleveland, none of the
egotism Of Bei jsmin Harriscr.
At every turn he has consulted
public opinion, and he has never
set up his Judgment against it.
Some have declared him an cp-
portunist because of this desire
TO meet public sentiment, but the
country has welcomed opportun.

always be best, but in a govern.

yet it Gid not save him from ar

the assassin alton of Mr.. Mckinley
doubly sad, showing as it doe!
that no man in the high Office il

While hope of recovery of th'

Humans Rem aims Found.

La Crosse, Oct. Awhile digg-
ing a trench for a sewer in the
business part of the city yester.
day, workmen unearthed two
human skeletons several feet be-
low the surface, which to all
appearances is evidence of a
murder.
The skeleton are not complete,
but enough was found to show
that one was male and the other
female. No metal or signs of
coffin were discovered, but to all
appearances the bodies were
thrown into a hole and covered
up to hide all suspicion. Close
by the bones was found a large,
rusty pocketknife, with which it
is supposed they were killed.
A bunch of black hair in which
were tangled several hairpins,
was also found. There is no clue
to the murder farther than some
years ago an old couple residing
near where the bones were found
suddenly disappeared, leaving
no trace behind.
