made an almost ideal Industrial town
just at point where the pretty Pas
sale river curves about the brow of a
low mountain and falls into its lover
valley. Then New York grew out
towards Paterson, and Paterson itself
grew more like city. The grandsons
of the settlers fell into strange ways,
revelation of which shocked the COM
munity in the murder of Jennie Bos-
scheiter, mill girl, by several young
men of good family. This tragedy
was the beginning of a series. There
came fire that swept away millions of
property; there came death that
closed the great Rogers locomotive
works; there came flood that swept
away fortunes; there came the horror
of Bresci's assassination of the king
of Italy as the agent of a Paterson
group of "reds."
Now these same "reds" have been
the leaders in a fury of rioting which
has called out the militia, checked

THE TOWN O. DREAM.

BY beautiful stream lies tho Town o.
Dream,
On beautiful summer plain,
With bells achime golden time
To the tune of golden strain.
The road lies straight through a golden
gate
Men call it the Port O. Sleep
Where far below dim waters flow
Through chambers cool and deep.
o, fair and bright in the broad sunlight,
Her streets and her greening bowers,
And all day long a sleepy song
MurmurS of love and flowers.
And never care can enter there,
Nor trouble to cause annoy,
There rest comes sweet to toiling feet
And weary hearts find joy.
Now would We know the way to go
To the beautiful Town o. Dream?
Ye must seek the god of the Land o. Nod,
Ruler of things that seem.
And drawing near with humble cheer
YEN speak the Word of Kin.
And if your mind is good and kind
Yell freely enter in.
o, near and far his peoples are,
And he rules them, every one,
With a Pleasance deep and Rod of Sleep
At setting of the sun.
By beautiful stream lies the Town O.
Dream.
Weary are we and fain;
Come, let us try the portal high,
And win our Town again!

The Romance Of Julie opp.

It's little late in the year to talk
Of marrying and giving in marriage,
but romance that waits for di-
vorce courts cannot always lead to
June bridal.
1t is said that Julie Opp, the ac-
tress, will marry Justin Huntley Nc
earthly, historian, novelist, dramatist,
and erstwhile the husband of Cissy
Loftus-wasn't it? One of the Cissies,
anyhow. Here's a London romance
that touches America closely. Every
one knows by repute the elder Justin
Mccarthy, the author of the "History
of Our Own Times" the gentlest man
that ever led a forlorn hope in poll
tics, the Irish irreconcilable whom
everyone loves. The younger man?
More of an ordinary mortal of the mar
rying and divorcing sort, evidently,
but decent enough fellow in his way,
and brilliant writer.
Miss Opp is a New York girl, born
on the Bowery, where her father,
Johnny" Opp, owned saloon of
rather poor reputation. But it is not
true that the girl grew up in the sa-
loon, passing beer mugs with her own
hands, as Is persistently told of her.
Instead, she was reared by her moth
er, in the home of her wealthy grand
father, one Of the founders of the
Staats-zeitung, in luxury and with the
greatest care. A portrait of her,

able to appreciate even free govern
ment. The poverty in which they live
keeps their sentiment keen. But their
children learn better. They are mod
Ell scholars, these recent corners from
the south and east of Europe. At
the recent commencement of the col
lege of the city of New York, which
is practically high school, all the
honors save one, as well as all the
youths who were afterwards arrested
for schoolboy yelling in the streets,
bore such names as Bolonski, Kretski,
Pickelslli and Boski. Not one name of
English sound appeared upon the hon
or list. They were German and Polish
exclusively. 1t was SO in the Normal
college, where thousands of young
women who become teachers in New
York are trained. Not much danger
of permanent anarchistic party
from people whose children almost
monopolize the learned professions.
AS pupils, the Italians are equally
talented, but they do not so often turn
to intellectual pursuits. They are
Of the old Roman stock; doors, practi-
cal men. They become masons, con-
tractors, farmers, restaurateurs, ca
terers, politicians. In every line they
undertake they show great energy.
It's only the constant horde of new i'm
migrants that keeps their average of
wealth and intelligence low.
They were Italians and Poles who
drew the fire of the rifles in Paterson;
Italians and Poles who did what a ma
tive American mob has never yet done,
and put women with babies in their
arms upon the firing ine," knowing
that the police would not club them
nor the soldiers fire upon them. But

boats had safely passed something

The big rocks in He'll Gate every

commerce is now fairly safe. l well

years of blasting and tunneling under

be blown up with dynamite. People

Quite unnoticed, indeed, goes on un-
ceasingly the improvement of the har-

magnitude. The government keeps
the bay clear; the city is replacing

rise and fall to that extent without

over Liverpool, and most cities in vest

his family for years. They had been
simply landowners, enriched by lands
growth in value. So it came about
very naturally that the great cleric,
with his brothers, owned the Hoffman
house, at one time famed for it's lux
ury and for the frank beauty of soma
of its paintings. By a curious coinci-
dence, the lessee of the Hoffman
house, ED" Stokes, was also member
of very religious family. Yet the
placewas long headquarters for sports,
and was the first in New York to keep
a pugilist in regular employment as
"bouncer" and as stakeholder of big
bets.
DR.. Hoffman had celebrated his gold
en- wedding. He lived simply, gave his
money freely for charity and educa-
ton and was not in sympathy with the
modern ritualistic tendency in the
church.

The phenomena of phosphorescent
light at the masthead is one so rarely
witnessed by others than superstitious

by Rev. Dr. Mason, of Burma, is there
fore of interest, says Youths Compan-
ion:
"On one occasion I was with others
on board a small schooner at anchor
off Tavoy Point, when a severe squall
of wind and rain, accompanied by
much thunder and lightning came on.
"After the storm began to abate, we
were aroused by cry on deck: There
is ball of fire at the masthead!' We
went up and saw, what is very rarely
seen, 'the fire of st. Elmo or the fire
of St. Elmo and St. Anne Itexhibited
an appearance quite different from all
the descriptions have read. Phipson
says: Lord Napier observed the fire
st. Elmo in the Mediterranean during
a fearful thunderstorm. AS he was
retiring to rest, a cry from those aloft:
est Elmo and ST. Anne!" induced him
to go on deck. The masthead was COM
pletely enveloped in a blaze of pale
phosphoric light
"The St. Elmo that saw did not en-
velop the masthead in blaze at all,
but it took the form of a perfect blaze
of phosphoric light, perhaps foot
in diameter. 1t was not on the summit
of the mast, but touched it on one side,
playing about it when the vessel rolled,
as large soap bubble, a trif1e lighter
than the air.
"After remaining some ten minutes
the light grew fainter, and finally died
out like a soap bubble,'

man declared that he hadn't penny
to give him for his services. Two bits

a yelping terrier inside the house was
better protection against thieves than
a big dog outside and the second, that
no sort of lock bothered his craft so
much as an old, rusty one.
Small compensation as this was, the

thing added, pathetically, hugging her
doll to her motherly little bosom,
''when grow up I'll never play whist.
And I'll rock my little girl every night
before she goes to bed" Here was a
childish outburst of stored-up sense
of radical wrong in her life. And there
are too many little hearts oppressed
by this sense of deprivation. But it is
not alone the children who suffer from
the whist fashion. 1t is responsible
for more tantrums and breakdowns of
