lust Forty Years Ago Tonight.
RY GORDON MANLY DAY.

BY GORDON MANLY DAY.
De moon am full, dc shadows fall,
An gloomy night dispeis the care-worn
While over the moor the whippoorwill
AM katadid begin their evening lay.
Jes' forty years ago TO- night
One lovely night in June
DAD same roun' silver moon
Lit de long lane dat led de way
From'marstor's house to mine;
While mo and Jane kept time
To katadid an whippoorwill,
AS dey played our weddin' march.
We called our first born Katydid,
The JOY of our once happy home;
She always romped and played alone,
Till one night, when de moon was full,
There came boy-we named him Whip
poorwill;
And den dey played and sang together
In springtime an moonlight weather.
Dat moon has come an gone
fru all desc years of JOY and sorrow,
AM lef' its light and shadows on Oul
home;
But from the shadows of to-day,
AS me and Jane had learned to pray,
Would come the sunshine of tomorrow,
De moon has almos' los it's light to me-
Desc songs at the twilight hour
Minds me of dat roun' silver moon,
When Jane an l was young,
And makes me sadder dan use ter be.
One lonely night, jes' over the hill,
We buried our Katy and Whippoorwill;
And now my marsters gone-his house.
An dc long, long, weddin' lane,
And mos of all to me, my Jane.
Desc eyes of mine no longer sec,
Sabe when de moon grows full;
Desc ears no SCUM kin hear,
'Cept do lonely songs at eventime
or katadid and whippoorwill.
Feeble are desc tottering Inns Of mine,
AS | am getting nearer home;
But from the shadows of to-day
l sec a guiding hand
Aldo / seem to walk alone.

Many Negroes are Injured.

Charleston, July 6.-Twenty negroes
were injured this afternoon by the fall
ing OF the front veranda of Emanuel
church. The funeral of a colored
preacher was being held and after the
body had been borne from the building
the negroes made wild rush for the
entrance to get last view OF the coffin.
just as the crowd assembled on the high
veranda entrance it fell with crash and
two hundred men, women and children
that officers of the church warned the
congregation not to rush TO the front
with the coffin, but the excitement was
too much for them. Pandemonium
reigned and the police force was called
out to remove the wounded and have
order restored.

The Oregon Desperate.

Seattle, Wash, July Hilary
II. Tracey, the Oregon convict, has
again eluded his pursuers, after a
display of great daring. His last act
was to impress farm hand into
debarking on the sound in a row
boat late yesterday, and at noon to-
day Sheriff Cudihee chartered the
tug Sea Lion and with a posse started
in pursuit.
According to information received
at the Sheriff's office here to-day
Tracey stopped in cemetery, on
the outskirts of Seattle, after his
battle of Thursday night with
Seattle officers. On Friday morning
he proceeded to the ranch of a man
named Fisher, obtained food and
slept and rested in the woods all
day and night. Early Saturday
morning he appeared at Meadow
Point, on the water front, three
miles north of Seattle, his original
point of landing. There he COM
PEELED a japanese fisher boy to row
him to Madison Point, twelve miles
across and down the sound from
Seattle. He dismissed the boy,
declaring that the latter would be
killed by Tracey's pal if he told of
the trip. They landed near the
house of Rancher johnson, and
Tracey watched the house for an
hour to make sure Of the number of
men there. Finding only two men
he entered and announced that he
intended to kill everyone on the
ranch and take charge of the place
for a few days. He added: "But
after seeing your pretty little girl,
l will kill no one if you all mind me.
l will be here all day"
The family prepared breakfast for
Tracey and put one plate on table
against the wall.
This is not right" declared the
conrict. "Put the table in the
middle of the room and all sit down
with me-" which was done. Tracey
then read Friday evenings papers
and after learning how Mrs. Van
Horn had betrayed his presence in
her house to the butcher boy, said he
had been careless in not keeping
everyone in that house constantly
under his eye.
"My carelcssness in this respect
made it necessary to kill two Off
GERS" he said.
He forced the Johnsons to give
him bundle of clothing and hats
and six days supplies of food, cloth
ing and blankets made into bundles
AT 8 o'clock he bound and tightly
gagged the johnson family, made
their hired man, Anderson, carry the
bundles to Johnson's row boat, put
Anderson in the boat at the oars and
started down the sound. Mrs. John
son released herself and the others
two hours later and notified Deputy
Sheriff Mckay, who lives at Madison
Point.
Mckay secured boat and sent
word to Seattle this morning. Sheriff
Cudihee was summoned from Bothell
and at 1.30 o'clock, with several
men, started down the sound in the
Sea Lion, an electric tug boat, look
ing for the desperate and the farm
hand. However, as Tracey had fif-
teen hours start, it is believed he
will make good his escape. The
supposition is that he will row all
night, probably kill Anderson, sink
the boat and disappear into the wild
forests OF Northern Washington,
where he may live many days on his
supply of food.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-The State and

This notice came to the Navy department

its infonfRtion from the cable companies.
Not much Importance is attached to the
notice, there have been many such In

Our government being under the obliga-

COFFEE HEARTS"
More Frequent Than Tobacco carts.

Coffee drinking frequently affects the
heart and many cases OF heart trouble are
relieved or entirely cured by leaving on

A good illustration is that Of a lady who
says: II was troubled for many years with
my heart and at times would become uncon-
Scious. The children ave many times run
for the neighbors to come In and restore
me by putting my feet in hot water and rub
bling me-.
"Dr. Short frequently told me that coffee
was a poison to me and was really the cause
Of my weak heart. l could not do without
the coffee though. but finally the doctor told
me It was certain death II / did not give II

WEARIES OF ARMY STRIFE
President Roosevelt Said to Have Decided
on Action.
MOVEMENT FOR MILES, RETIREMENT
Members of COMMITTEES ON Military
Affairs Believe Generals Utter-
ance Cannot Induce Pun
ishment.

WASHINGTON, March f21.-In connection
with the Miles Incident Il was stated late
tonight that President Roosevelt is quoted
as saying he is tired OF the friction in the
army and whether It was decided that Gen
eral Miles statement was privileged or not
he would at no distant day take action
looking to HE retirement.
WASHINGTON, March 2t.-The printed
testimony. of General Miles before the sem
ate committee on military affairs has not
been made public and It is understood that
it will be submitted to him for approval.
1t is we'll understood that a great deal of
what the general said will not appear In
the record. Members OF the committee say
the report published yesterday afternoon
was correct in substance in every particu-
lar. At the same time these senators 90
not agree that General Miles can be pun
ished for his utterances before the commit
tee. whether they appear in the record or
not.
OF course the committee could take no
action to prevent the retirement of General
Miles. That. under the law 5s purely an
executive act and needs no confirmation or
approval of the senate.
WASHINGTON, March 2tAThe state
ments made yesterday by General Miles be-
IOre the senate commlttea on military az
fairs we're discussed by the president today
with a number Of his callers. There is
little doubt that these statements will ultl-
mately lead to General Miles retirement
by the president. In discussing the matter
today with his callers, among whom were
senators and representatives, the president
took the position that the lieutenant general
of the army should entertain toward his SUI
perlors the same respect that he would ex-
pect and demand from his subordinates.
WASHINGTON, March s1.-At the cabinet
meeting today the publications relating to
the statements made by General Miles yes
terday we're brought up. but, consideration
of them was postponed until all the facts
In the matter become known.
Whatever intentions the president had
with respect to the treatment to be ac-
corded General Miles hts future action will
be somewhat Influenced by the fact that
General Miles statements before the senate
committee have been represented to him as
being privileged. The president proposes to
read the testimony given at the hearing
and to consult with different members OF
the committee on military affairs before
finally announcing what he proposes to do
