DOLORES.
By WILL ALLEN DRoMGooLE.

Hard by the ruins of old Dolores.
Down by the silvery sands they lay
Her sad eyes watched where the masted
ships
Sailed out from the San Diegan Bag.
Over the mesa's sun scorched waste,
Faint and far on the pulselsss air.
Came the sound of the distant mission
bells.
Calling the faithful souls to prayer.
Brave bells. at that call came trooping
up
Visions from tragic years long dead;
Some Spanish don. on his ready arms
Asleep. where the skulking coyotes
tread.
And a wild red race Of the long ago,
In the brown SCARED heart OF the mis-
sion old;
The white. dead face of some martyred
friar,
The red blood staining his robe and
stole.
To the sad faced girl on the silvery
sands.
The old dead spoke in those mission
bells.
And she said: There Is nothing In all
the world
Save pain and parting, and funeral
knell.''
"Oh, love-" and she, sobbing. sought his
breast.
There's a black hul,ed ship steers
straight for me.
For out on the deep sea her black prov
dips
As she comes to bear me away from
thee.
II cannot sail on that unknown deep:
Oh hold me fast in thine arms the
while.
The sea is so vast and my strength so
frail;''
And she sobbed on his breast as
little child.
And he said: "Oh, love. though the sea
be dark,
The land beyond 1t Is fair to see.
And darker than journey of thine.
This sad old world where I wait for
thee"
For Love. whatever the unknown holds.
What mysteries follow that untried
track.
do not know and cannot see.
/ only know thou wilt not come back
'I know that haven waits somewhere.
BY sun -bathed shore and a tideless
bay;
And the journeys gloom is ell with me
When that black hulled ship shall
have sailed away"
She wound her soft arns round his
throat,
Her soul made strong by his own de-
spair:
And she said: "Whate'er my paradise
be,
/ shall not find heaven till thou art
there
And ! feel no fear of the journey now.
In that black hulled ship on that track
less sea;
For wherever and ever tina. ship shall
know that thy soul will follow me-
And the bells OF Dolores. those ancient
bells,
Still calling the faithful souls to
prayer,
While the day slips down to the golden
west,
And a ship has entered the harbor
fair.

Startling Innovation.

An English bride. Miss Kathleen Ken
nedy. OF London, introduced a startling
innovation at the wedding ceremony,
when she married Captain Patton Be
thune, of the British army, the other
day. She wore the traditional wedding
gown and veil, but the maids who at
tended her were dressed in black from
head to foot, without a touch Of color
except the fern sprays that formed their
bouquets.
Three little children carried the
t-ane,arenf lace t--'- H-~~rcd In TIE
Douglas tartan. which. with the uni
forms OF the officers who lined the aisle,
gave the much-needed touch Of color TO
the scene. The newly welded pair made
a triumphant exit under an archway OF
rOSSvu Ss.OfcS.
Captain Patton Bethune is the uwner
OF Clayton Priory. Bushels Park. and
served in the Boer war. He first made
the acquaintance of his bride in South
Africa. where she was one of the first
society girls to volunteer to nurse at
the front.

Tariff a Leading Issue.


THE story current that President
Roosevelt may call an extra session OF
the Senate TO consider a reciprocity
treaty with Cuba is very amusing to
those who kept posted on the fight
against tho Cuban reciprocity BILL" said
W. H. Harris. Of Topeka, Kan. in the
lobby of the National last night.
THE beet sugar men were earnest In
their opposition to the Cuban reciprocity
bill. and nothing has occurred since the
adjournment OF Congress TO make the
beet sugar Senators change front. While
want to see Cuba prosper and get
along. still am not willing to sacrifice
the men who have invested their money
In the beet sugar industry. And l do
not hesitate to say that this beet sugar
question will prove very embarrassing TO
a number of prominent Republicans IN
the House who voted to reduce the tariff
on Cuban sugar. The tariff will prove
to be a leading issue in the campaign,
and 1t will be thoroughly discussed in
Kansas"

this weakness on the part of the Fill

Death From Fright

A death surrounded by strange cii.
cumstances is that of Mrs. Oscar
Hover which occurred at her home
in Roaring Creek township Sunday
morning. The story as it comes to
us is as follows: To begin the nara,
tive Mrs. Hover had always been
firm believer in signs and tokens.
Early in the evening Of the day pre-
cedng her death, she stood In the
doorway glancing ont into the gather
ing darkness when she suddenly emit
ted shrek. She was seized with an
awful terror and was unable to speak,
When she regained her self control
she informed her family that she had
seen spectral hand beckoning her
on. Later In the evening, just before
retiring for the night, she heard some
thing fall with a dull thud The
sound came from an unoccupled
room in the house and added to Mr..
Hower'S discomfort to such an extent
that she positively refused to be COLI
forted until an examination be made.
She and her husband searched the
whole house but could discover moth
ing wrong. She informed her hus-
band that the hand and the sound
were intended for her final summons,
and with this premonition of death in
her heart she retired. During the
night she was taken violently i'll and
before morning she was dead. A
physician who had been called in
could attribute no cause for death
other than fright.
Mrs. Hover was a daughter OF
Lewis Burge, Of Roaring Creek. She
was thlrty-one years OF age and leaves
husband and three sons. The
community and in fact the circumia-
cent country is greatly stirred up over
the strange happening.

lied. 1t is impossible to tell how
much will remain after the pay

the receipts have not yet been re-

but that is better than to have come

as everything can be settled full
statement will be published, as the
contributors have right to know
what was done with their money.

plus is question not yet decided.
AS soon as the amount is definitely

isn't This Nice Angel That MAI
Browns Got.

Mr.. and Mrs. Earl Rivers, of this
city, says the Wllliamsport SIN, have
as guest young woman, who, at
the direction of mysterious letter,
assumed on her fourteenth birthday
the name of Mary Brown. She knows
no other to which she has claim,
but knows that guardian angel
watches over her, for every month
since infancy an unregistered letter
containing $50 in bank bills has been
sent to her and every Fourth of Tuly
and every Christmas day she receives
an extra $Ioo, but never has she been
able to CLEAN the slightest clue OF its
source.
AT her earliest recollection she
lived at an orphanage in the suburbs
OF Brooklyn, and was known as Fanny
Winters. She was taken to the in
stltunon by family who found her
on their doorsteps Later she was
adopted and reared by family named
Martin, of Mexico, N. Y, who treat
ed her kindly, but knew nothing of
her parentage.
| When fourteen she received an un-
signed letter saying that if the re.
mittances were to continue she was
TO assume the name of Mary Brown,
@ and the change was legally made.
The letter was mailed at Newark, N.
j. once again when she was recsiv.
ing attentions from young man she
got letter saying that remittances
would cease when she married.
Inc girl has travelled great deal,
but the remittances always followed
her' showing that her movements
were closely watched. She also lived
with family named Hurting, in
Jersey City.

Good Committee Work.

to tell. Among them is comment
on the good work done by w. B.
Allen, c. B. Lutz, and Alex.
Schwarz of the Committee on Privi-
leges. This committee had charge
and entire control of the granting
of privileges to sell on the streets,
for eating stands, and all matters of
this kind, the Town Council having
given to the Executive Committee
full power over the streets for the
two days. The Privileges Com
mittee so we'll performed their
duties that they turned over to the
Treasurer the sum of S233.o5, the
net proceeds of their work. This
is the best return yet made by any
of the sub-com mittees.
