SIR THOMAs BNOwN'S PRAYER.
A Beautiful Petition to Him who Giveth
his Beloved Sleep.
From the Charlotte Observer. I

From the Charlotte Observer
In these days when one so often sees
i'll sleeping roome, beautifully printed
and framed, Robert Louis Steven
sons prayer, or al exquisite senti-
ment on true living from Henry Van
Dyke, or restful poem like that
which hangs on the wall of one of
the rooms of Mr.. Andrew Carnegie's
castle in Scotland, (and in many
humber holhes in America) I take
the liberty Of sending you what l
suppose may be appropriately called
Sir Thomas Brownies Prayer. AL.
though written over two hundred
years ago, do not recall ever having
seen it in any collection Of poetry.
find it in one of his short ESSAYS
called "Of Life" Concluding para.
graph on sleep he introduces the
! prayer IN the following words:
"In fine, 30 like death, | dare not
trust it without my prayers, and a
half adieu unto the world, and take
my farewell in a coIloquy with
God"
| The night is come like to the day;
Depart not Thou, great God away,
Let not my sins, black az the night,
Eclipse the lustre of Thy light.
Keep still in my horizon; for to me
The sun makes not the day, but Thee.
Thou whose nature cannot sleep,
On my temples sentry keep;
Guard me 'gainst those watchful foes
Whose eyes are open while mine close,
Let no dreams my head infest,
. But such as Jacobs temples blest.
While do rest, my soul advance;
Make my sleep holy trance;
That may, my rest being wrought,
Awake into some holy thought,
And with as active vigor run,
My course as doth the nimbler sun,
Sleep is death-Oh! make me try,
BY sleeping, what it is to die!
And as gently lay my head
On my grave, as on my bed.
Howe'er rest, great God, let me
Awake again at last with Thee.
And thus assured, behold lie
Securely, or to wake or die.
These are my drowsy days; in vain
do now wake to sleep again;
Oh, come that hour when | shall never
Sleep again, but wake forever.
If anything could be added 10 the
serene faith Expressed in tho prayer
itself it is his own quaint words at
the end Of IT:
: "This is the dor tive I take to
bedward; 1 need no other laudnnum
than this to maka mo sleep, after
which close mine eyes in security,
conten: to take roy leave of the sun
aud sleep unto the resurrection"

few days.
According to the estimate filed
with the bureau Of buildings the
house Will cost 100000, but this is
merely for the walls and does not in.
clude the interior finishings and dec
orations, which will bring the total
cost up to more than $2,000,000.
Standing in the centre of the block,
the house will have frontage of 80
feet, with 100 feet in the rear and a
depth Of 1O7 feet, besides an exten.
sion 33 feet wide and As feet deep.
The main building will be six stories
high, with an elevation of 85 feet,

GHOULS IN INDIANAPOLIS
Many Gravea IN Various GENET cries Robbed
Tho Leader OF Il Gang OF Ter Negroes,
All OF whom were Arrested several
Days Ago. ConfsseeR Some
Of the RoDberies.

indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 4.-Sensa-
tional developments came to light
this afternoon IN tie investigation of
Wholesale grave robberies that have
occurred in this vicinity during the
last few months, when detectives I'm.
earthed ten bodies in The cellar of
the Medical College of Indiana. A
gang of of ten negroes WAS arrested
several days ago charged with the
ghoulish work, and their leaders,
Rufus Cantrell, since his arrest has
confessed to many Of tho robberies
and informed the authorities that
other gangs have been operating in
cemeteries in this and adjoining
counties, and that many of the rob,
berries accredited to his following
really have been committed by others.
People who have buried relatives
recently in various cemeteries are
greatly excited and since the de.
velopments of the last fews days
many graves have been re opened to
see if the caskets have been tampered
with. Investigation in several of
these cases has revealed empty cesk
cts. Every medical college in this
city has been thoroughly searched
for tho stolen bodies, but to no avail.
Six bodies we're found in a picking
vat at the Medical College of Iniana,
the officials of this institution prov
ing they had been lawfully obtained
and asserting that thore were no
other bodies about the buildings.
Detectives went to the college today
with search warrant for the body
of Wallace johnson, which had been
stolen from grave in the Ebenezer
cemetery, northeast of tho city. The
college officials we're reluctant to
allow them to make the search. The
| detectives, however,, instituted rigid
search Of tho building, and az n last
resort raised The floor in the cellar.
They soon uncovered the remains Of
ten bodies. All attempt had boon
made to destroy the remains with
lime. The college officials arc very
indignant At tho latest phase in the
institution and claim the bodies IN
earthed today are those of subjects
dissected by the students of last
year; that some of them are cadavers
which we're in the diasecting room
when the building WAS burned sev.
eral years ago. The detectives claim
the bodies have been but recently
buried and that the evidence of
quicklime is very apparant. The
bodies arc of both men and women,
! but are in sncb q state that identifi
cation ia impossible Search for the
stolen bodies will be continuhd.
The lucky man is the plucky one who
sees and grasps an opportunity.

RECRUITS FOR NAVY
THEY WILL BE SOUGHT IN
SOUTH AND WEST.
Efforts to Secure Tars for War YES
sells Have Been Made in the
Anthracite Regions, But
Without Success.

Washington. Aug 4.-(Special.) --The
Navy Department will send recruiting Of
ficers- through the South and West at
once, for the purpose of securing men for
the naval service. Recruiting stations
will be opened in Alabama. Georgia. Mis-
sissippi. Texas, and probably in Arkansas
enc Missouri, at points to be selected by
the department officials. while the next
session of Congress will be asked to have
the number of enlisted men in the navy
incl eased from %. 500 to 10000.
The need of men for the service as al
ready constituted is pressing. 1t is es-
timated that fully 1900 men are needed
to complete the equipment on the diff
ferent war vessels of the navy. Recruit
ing officers have been trying to secure
men In the sathracite regions. where the
coal strike has thrown thousands out of
employment They have been unsuccess-
full, however, and are row going to look
for men in the South and West. Naval
officials are at loss to understand the
difficulty in securing enlistments. as in
former years there has been no difficulty
in securing all the recruits needed for
the service.

No colliery Resumes.

Wilkesbarre. Pa, Aug. 4.-The day hav-

ing in the strike region caused rejoicing
at President Mitchelrs headquarters to-
night There was some fear that work
might be started at the Woodward col
liery Of the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western. near Plymouth, today and many
strikers and their sympathizers were sta
toned in tine vicinity, but when 1t be-
came known for certainty that the
mine would not resume. the strikers re-
turned to their homes At the offices of
the coal companies the only statement
that would be given out was that when
the operators got ready to resume work
they would do SO. Those in charge at
strike headquarters are apprehensive that
some of the coal companies will spring
a surprise some morning and will have a
colliery in operation before the strikers
know 1t. To prevent such a surprise the
strikers are watching the collieries very
closely and also the movements of all
men who go in and out of the works

THE REMoUNT SCANDALS.
Brodrick Charged With Lukewarm
ness in Investigating Scandals.


ness in Investigating Scandals.
London. Aug. 1.-THE remount scandals
were aired again In the House OF Com
mons today in the course of a discussion
OF the army estimates and the item of
transportation and re.nounts.
Sir Charles Dixie advanced radicaD
suggested the publication of the evil
dence bearing on the remount scandals
obtained from tho United States and Ar
gentina.
Colonel John P. Nolan (Nationalist) con-
demned the loose system OF contracts un-
der which such dreadful scandals were
possible, while several other members of
the House deprecated the method of pur-
chasing horses through middlemen.
orr Brodrick, the War Secretary. re-
plying said the members overlooked the
difficulties in the way Of providing $780,
900 horses in an emergency. He said tho
Government intended. to probe the
charges. but he believed some remount
officers had been harshly judgd. He did
did not believe that Lord Kitchener would
Join in the universal cry against the re-
mouth department.
In answer to the War Secretary, John
Dillon Urish NationalisD asserted that
Mr.. Brodrick's vague speech only
strengthened his suspicious. and he point
ed out as an instance of this that the
Government had not denied that Major
Studdert had profted largely through
buying horses in Ireland under a false
name
Mr.. Broderfck denied that he had no dis
position to push the Studdert and other
Investigations, and said the Government
would go to the fullest extremes to con-
Wet the perpetrators of conspiracy and
fraud. The vote on the item of trans
portation and remount was agreed to.
