King Edward In Ireland.
l see-wide waters of Il bay
Luminous, pearl-grey-
Great ships upon the Water before
town,
Streets slanting shoreward down;
10 the long platform OF the curving
pier
People in multitudes are waiting here;
The streets are garlandcd
And banners overhead
With lively tiutter make the air more
gay,
Gay as the children who wait here to
sing
At the coming of the King.
We wait, they watch, at last, at last
our hearing
| Wakes to the sudden burst of loyal
song;
\ rapture moves the throng-
The King, the King is nearing
| Is nearer-lsten-now at last they
come!
How can your lips be dumb
| Whilst all around are cheering?
| Your head uncover While the children
sing
God Save the King.'
Cheer him, cheer loud, his gift to us
is Peace;
In Ireland now shall days of discord
| cease,
And never, neyermore
Shall foul Rebellion vex her island
shore,
But measureless, deep intent
Shall fall upon us-bccause these days
We're spent.
In holiday with us by the Royal pair!
So cheer again-checr loudly-rend
the air
With royal rapture, while the children
sing,
Edward, the Peacemaker," shall be
the name and title he shall claim
AS Ireland's King!
He has cOme-he has gone;
No, still we see from here
The slow procession passing down the
pier;
Now hurrying further on
We watch the little pinnace darting
out,
Whilst all the people shout,
Shout loudly-till there is no need to
cheer.
And silent are the voices of the street,
Whilst every ship gives forth flash,
roar;
Their Monarch's coming DER the
waves to greet
The echoed salutation of the fleet
Makes thunder - thunder - thunder
round the shore.
And at the sound, I sec no more the
bay,
Luminous, pcarl-grey;
There rises as in vision to my eyes,
Mid smoke Of cannon under gloominr
skies,
The memory of a country far away,
Where peace was comprised not in
peaceful wise.
A land of blood-purchased for this
peaceful King
To whom the children sing.
Still cannons roar-the chant I cannot
hear:
But to an inward ear
Rise other infant voices,
In lamentation and in woe,
Whilst Edward in his triumph's hour
rejoices
Ger foes who did not yield
10 master in the field
But because little children suffered so.
Because they heard the desolate
mother cry
Ger baby prisoners too young to die,
The voice that wept in Rama long ago.
And now the cannons cease:
He has gone from us, whose gift to
us is Peace!
His hope that hcnceforth in all wars
to come
Shall 1relands willing hands
Help him to lay the yoke on other
lands;
Her remonstrant lips be dumb.
When tyranny lays freedoms banner
low.
But though for threat or bribe
The false Of heart subscribe,
Let all who love their country answer,
"No."
Iris Olkyrn, In Dublin Irish PeoDlc.
Way to Shadowtown.
Sway to and fro in the twilight pray.
This is the ferry for Shadowtown,
1t always sails at the end Of day,
Just as the darkness closes down.

ment being due in no small measure to the greater conservatism that was an out growth of asohsblesconditions Season able weather has also contributed to the better distribution of ofemerchandise besides encouraging bcoyant sentiment in the ag- ricultural districts.
 Railway earnings and output of pig iron were larger. Earnings of railways thus far reported for June ,surpasB last years by 10 per cent. More inquiries for pig iron have appeared and the tone is dis tinctly better. Bessemer iron is not of- fered for the third quarter by the asso- citation and orders accepted for early de- livery are taken by middlemen who have stocks on hand. The situation has been complicated during the past week by the strike of coal miners in Alabama, which threatens to restrict output of Southern iron. In so far as quotations are concerned this is a strengthening factor. Steel rails are still the best in the market for fin- ished products, fully half a million tons are now booked for next years delivery and many orders for 1908 will be carried over.
 A quiet season on the leather market has produced small concessions in prices of hemlock sole, oak betting butts while feature. Both domestic and foreign hides average a small fraction lower for the week with large transaction in goods damaged by floods. the chief feature.
 Slight advances are recorded in some divisions of the cotton goods market but the changes are practically nominal.

TUSCALOOSA WATER WORKS.
Receiver Appeals to City to With draw the Suits.

o36W tAS S0Ascs
 Tuscaloosa, July 3.-(special. .)-since the new filters have been placed by the Tuscaloosa Water Works Company. there has been a great deal of complaint re- garding the purity of the water. It has been claimed that the alum used in fll- tering the water made 1t very impure and unwholesome. Recently the city water works company had Prof. A. A. Persons, chemist of the University of Alabama, to analyze the water. and he states that the analysis shows the water to be very pure, as regards both mineral and or ganic constituents.
 MT. Boardman, receiver for the Water Works Company. addressed the city coun- ell at its recent meeting in regard to the suits which they had instituted against the company. He requested the aid of the city council in inducing bond holders and capitalists to supply money neces- sary to make the extensions and place the hydrants desired by the citizens. stating that any attitude of antagonism manifested by the city council would deter the capitalists from investing any more money in the water works He divert 5000 from the interest on the bonds to invest in two-inch pipes to sup ply the consumers in East and West End. placing ten new hydrants each year and in that way the entire city would be cov- cred by fire hydrants In a few years. MT. Boardman promised to call a meeting of the bondholders in August and submit a plan of reorganization to them. he begged the city to withdraw the pending suits and cooperate with him in induc- ing the bondholders to come to their re- lief.
 The city attorney advised taking no ac- ton until the bondholders made a new proposition.
