VESTS HEALTH IMPROVED.
Physical Weakness Appears to
Vanish While Speaking.

14th ST. and Pennsylvania Ave-
Washington, June 1S.-AIthough Senator
Vest has not been strong physically for
the last three years, his vitality seems to
last amazingly, and his friends are conf
dent that he will continue to take an active
part in the Senate proceedings until the end
or his public career. This will terminate
March g.. 1903. when he will retire from the
Senate at the close OF the present Congress.
With the change of air and the recupera-
ton he will be able to get after the ad-
Journment of this session in July there Is
little doubt that Senator Vests health and
strength will be ample to serve out his term
and to admit OF his taking an active and
prominent part as he has done during the
present Congress.
The Senator's health apparently IL bet
ter than 1t was a year ago. He sleeps bet
ter. and his appetite and digestion are i'm
proved He Is accompanied to and from tho
Senate generally by his son and secretary,
George Vest, or by Colonel Jim Edwards
or Missouri. who has for some years been
an efficient emp!oye of the Senate. In the
Senate Mr.. Vest walks with a cane. When
moving about the Capitol he is sometimes
accompanied by Colonel Edwards and at
other times goes unattended. When Mr..
Vest arises to address the Senate upon an
important question his physical weakness
appears to vanish. his eyes become bright
and his voice gradually gains its accus-
toned strength and clearness
1t seems that the general interest IN
Senator Vests speeches increases as the
time draws near for his retirement from
public life. Scarcely does he rise In tho
Senate before the Senators. regardless OF
party, re-enter the chamber, and strict at
tention is paid to every utterance OF the
Missourian.
Mr.. Vest leads a very quiet and methodi-
cal life. He rides leisurely home after ad-
joUrnment and after dinner and an hours
work or reading In his library. he retires
invariably at O'Clock. He rises early, and
sistance OF his son. George. sets out for
the Capitol. The routine is seldom broken.
not at all strong physically, the
Senator is holding his own well, and, as
stated, his friends are confident that he
will be able to serve out the fourth term,
making twenty-four years of distinguished
service as a Senator from Missouri.

IN A MATTER OF TASTE.

Governor Dockery has produced disagreeable en-
barrassment by neglect of the propretes associated
with public gift to the battleship Missouri.
The Artists Guild of ST. Louis may be excused for
acting hastily a note from somebody in the con-
struction bureau of the Navy Department. The guild
has responsibilities. But Governor Dockery might
well have waited for some consideration of the sub
ject by practically informed persons before asking
for subscriptions to be devoted the purchase of
ships bell.
AS a result of his haste, certain persons are now
circulating subscription papers without realizing that
the State of Missouri is likely to be placed in the
unenviabe position of offering gift which is not de-

IKE spectral hounds the sky
The white clouds scud before the storm.
And naked in the bowling night
The red-eyed lighthouse lifts its form.
The waves with slippery fingers clutch
The massive tower. and climb and fall
And muttering growl with bafhed rage
Their curses the sturdy wall.
Up in the lonely tower he sits,
The keeper of the crimson light
Silent and awe-struck does he hear
The imprecations of the night.
The white spray beats against the panes
Like some wet ghost that down the air
Is hunted by troop of hends
And seeks shelter anywhere.
He prays aloud-the lonely man
For every soul that night at sea;
But more than all for that brave boy
Who used tc gayly climb his knee
Young Charlie with his chestnut hair
And hazel eyes and laughing lip
May heaven look down. the old man cries
Upon my son, and his ship"
While thus with pious heart he prays,
Far in the distance sounds boom
He pauses-and again there rings
That sullen thunder through the room.
A ship upon the shoals tonight,
She cannot hold for half hour;
But clear the ropes and graphing hooks,
And trust in the Almighty Power.
On the drenched gallery he stands
Striving to pierce the solid night;
Across the the red-eye throws
A steady, crimson wake of light,
And where it falls upon the waves
He sees human head float by,
With long. drenched curs of chestnut hair
And wild but fearless hazel eye.

Adown the wind the long rope curls.
OH will it catch? Ah dread suspense!
While the wild ocean wilder whirs.
A steady pul-It tghtens now!
Oh his old heart will burst with joy.
As on the slippery rocks he pulls
The breathing body of his boyi
Still sweep the specters through the sky,
Still scud the clouds before the storm.
Still naked in the bowling night
The red-eyed lighthouse lifts its form.
Without, the world is wild with rage,
Unkenneled demons abroad,
But with the father and the
within, there is the peace Of God. ~.

President Mitchell had nothing to

men who are now quitting are doing so
through fear of bodily harm. Reports
come in almost hourly Of men on their

London, June G.-In accordance with

Mr. Balfour, in supporting the mo-

pass so much work for their country in
so short time as Lerd Kitchener,

Kitchener had to meet with unique diff.

than 1000 miles of bloekhouses and
in the conduct of the campaign had
shown the fertile range OF his re.

resolution, and to these qualities Great
Britain owed the termination OF. tbs

Mr.. Balfour concluded with formally

Charleston, S, c., June 6.-Plans
have been completed here for the es.
tablishment of steamship line be-
tween Charleston and Baltimore. This
week the local promoters will confer
With Baltimore capitalists. when final
contracts will BE signed
The Baltimore owners agreed to
open the line provided they could get
the assurance from business people
here that eastern freight would be
shipped via that route. The assurance
of cooperation was even greater than
expected. Representatives of the con.
cern who have visited interior towns
in the state have met with much Ell.
couragement, and there is every evi.
dence now that the first steamers will
be put on as soon as the details have
been arranged.
The idea is to have regular salings
of ships similar to those running be.
tween Baltimore and Savannah.
Freight rates would be lower than
rates now in effect and a quicker ser.
vice can be provided. At least a day
could be clipped from the sailing time
between New York and Charleston.

When loving hands consigned to
