 Action In the Matter.

Authorities Await President Castro's
 Action In the Matter. . WASHINGTON, Dec 30.-venezue- Ian negotiations now wait upon Presi- dent Castro. Minister Bowen has been fully advised by the state department of the result of it's exchanges with the foreign offices at London, Berlin and Rome, and he has been charged to take the case in hand himself and arrange the details of the protocol which will precede the submission of the foreign claims to the arbitration of The Hague tribunal. In so doing MT. Bowen is act ing not as United States minister, but as Venezuela's representative. The of- ficials here wish it to be distinctly un- derstood that their functions ceased, so far as the Venezuelan difficulty was concerned. when they brought the par ties to the controversy together.
 By the latest Venezuelan advices it is noted that President Castro is expected at Caracas at once, and it is felt that he will not consume much time in making up his mind to accept the proposals held out to him through Minister Bowen by the allied powers.
 It now seems probable that Minister Bowen will come to Washington as Venezuela's representative on the com mission which will draw up the proto- col providing for the submission of the claims of the powers to The Hague tri- bunal

They are her only estate, and, according to the terms of her will. they will be peace fully put to death and laid in the coffin with their mistress.
 On Christmas eve Miss Tracy, who was about fifty five years of age, left her home, at ST West Fifteth street, where for several years she had lived as the friend and companion cf Miss Ada Dare. to purchase a Christmas and New Years card for a friend. It was a sentiment to the effect that in 1903 all of the pains of the heart and head of 1902 would be healed and forgotten. She sent this by a messengV and, re turning home, started down stairs to feed her cats, as she did every evening.
 Two hours later they found her. She was lying at the bottom of the base ment stairs. with fracture at the base of the skull. The Manx. Angora, Bel gian and other cats she had guarded so conscientiously for years were grouped szolemnly about her.
 She was taken to Roosevelt hospital in an ambulance juSt about the time her friend received her holiday remem- brance. She never recovered conscious mess

TRfuM PHI.

The thrush flew away from the elder bush.. But its song throbbed on in the breathless
 hush; And the rose was quenched by the pelting
 rain,
 But it's sweet soul blossomed in scent
 again. And the sun sank down on the watching
 eye, But the sunset stayed behind in the sky; And the shell from the wave was torn
 apart, But 1t housed the seas song deep in it's
 heart. And the wind was hushe6 in it's skyey lair, But the echo roved in the upper air; And the Till was lured from the peak afar, But it still reflected the midnight star. And life is torn from the eyes and the lips. But the man lives on in the last eclipse; AnG flesh is broken and cast on the sod. But the soul stands up like God with God! Edward Wilbur Mason, in N.

Pedestrians Had Trouble on the New
 Cement Walk.

Cement Walk.
 The new cement walk on Church street which runs from the Hopson block to the Congregational church, was ill very dangerous condition for pedestrians last evening. The sleet which fell during the day made the walk as smooth and slippery as glass and it was amusing to watch the peo- pie hurrying along Church street when they struck this piece of walk. The rest of the walks on Church street are concrete and the water does not freeze on them as it does on the cement walk and the unsuspecting ones were the cause of much merriment to people in that vicinity. One man came hurry ing up the street at a rapid gait and as his feet touched the cement walk his underpinning went from under him and he slid into the gutter which was half full of water. What he said when he arose from his plunge bath was of character unprintable.. One young lady received severe fall there later in the evening and how some who tel escaped without broken bones is, a miracle Sand or some ether suitable substance should be placed on the walk before another night passes.
