Last and most important, he takes
leave Of the notion that what he writes
is of Importance; he becomes recon-

THE PACIFIC CABLE BILL

The decisive defeat encountered by
the Pacific cable bill In the House OF
Representatives Is not as great a ca
lanlity as some people may think.
The measure probably enjoyed a
smaller measure Of popularity than
any other before Congress at this ses-
sion. Among the objections to 1t that
Of expense, though ostensibly the de-
Gliding one, was nevertheless perhaps
the least pronounced IN the public
mind It Is altogether likely that its
unpopularity resulted largely from a
contemplation Of the increase IN the
offeeholding contingent which It's en-
aetment would have oceasioned. But
whatever the cause Of its failure, there
IS no reason to feel especially defect

LITERATURE AND NEWSPAPERS

The literary critic of the New
York Times" gives this advice TO what
he calls ''the fair boy graduate"
"Do not enter newspaper office IN
order to be literary man. II you
are going to be president of the Penn
sylvania Railroad, go into the rail-
road business. Don't begin by being
pilot on the ferryboat. IF you are
going be a judge, don't begin by
being the clerk of the court. The
work OF 3 newspaper reporter has ne
more relation to literature than that
of a house and sign painter has to
the art of Michael Angelo. Both
kinds Of painters use paint and brush
es. Both kinds Of writers use words.
But thereafter their paths part. 1t
has happened that sign painters have
become artists. It has happened
that newspaper reporters have
become literary men. But 1t
Just happened. Il was not according
to the usual processes of nature.
Writing up q fire III the dry goods
district at l a. m. is destructive Of lit
erary skill, and doing the East Side
police stations is poor training for
writing introspeetive poetry Keep
out OF the newspaper Offices, aspirant
for literary honors. They are not
literary places"

it may be well to address a little hom-
lily te his adviser. First, the writer

WHITE ROSE.

White Rose, so near the gate,
Does she pass out and in2
The summer twilight long and late,
When whippoorwills begin
Their swift and mellow cries
Below the veiIed blue skies.
Does she pass out and in?
White, Rose, that scent Of thine
So rare and sweet and old,
IT IS some perception half divine
Thy petals pure enfold.
A sense OF Heavenly things
Thy line from Eden brings,
So rare and sweet and old.
Then does her spirit come,
As in the Long ago,
Around the old, sweet-gardened home
To wander to and fro?
When dew is on the grass
Along that path to pass
As in the Long Ago?
Dost thou not talk with her.
White Rose, so near the gate,
When her pale angeI-garments stir
The twilight deep and late?
On. while she bends above
Then whisper iove-my love
White Rose, so near the gate.

about 1875 members Of the Commercial club
and invited guests were seated at the
board.
At $50 o'clock J. Frank Carpenter, the
president Of the club and t~oastnaster, arose
to open the oratorical part OF the enter
tainment. Mr.. Carpenter, in a few we'll
chosen words, referred to the work Of the
Board OF Governors and introduced Charles
N. Robinson, who responded to the toast
welcome to the Board Of Governors" He
said 1t would be impossible to give to the
Board Of Governors expression OF that
welcome which was in the hearts Of every
man present. He referred to the work of
the board, the sacrifice to business and
home life, which the governors are forced
to make; that welcome should be given
not only to the board upon the occasion,
