LEoS LAST PRAYER.
Leo. now sets thy SUM- pale is its dying
ray;
Black night succeeds thy day.
Black night for thee wasted thy frame; ;
lifes flood sustains
No more thy shrunken veins.
Death casts his fatal dart; robed for the
grave thy bones
Lilo under the cold stones
But my freed soul escapes her chains and
longs I'm flight
To reach the realms OF light
ff1at-ts- ttr- ru7ri-sffc seeks thither her
journey fares:
Grant, Lord. my anxious prayers.
That with the citizens OF Heaven Gods
face and light
May over thrill my sight;
That I may see thy face, Heavens queen,
whose mother love
Has brought me home above.
To thee saved through the tangles OF a
perilous way
lift my grateful lay.

dered in a cellar at the East End Mon
day. was on his way TO Canada, police
inspectors have gone to st. Hyaointhe,
II. O., to look for him. This suspicion
that he left town is that a blood-stained

in payment for a ticket TO Boston early
Monday morning. and the man who gave
the bill was described by the ticket agent
TO resemble Chabot.
Further search OF the mans possessions
shows that a razor In missing. Owing

hair, the first impression OF the exam
liners was that the skull had been frac-

When the blood was washed away at
the undertaker's II was discovered that
the woman's throat had been cut, sever

Northern Capitalists want
Part of Island for
a Resort
DEAL MAY BE MADE
Understood That Owners of the Nor.
thern Portion of the Island Have
Been Made an Offer and
May Accept.

1t is unEerstood that northern capi-
talist are again after the northern end
of ST Simon (which they desire to pur-
chase for summer resort, and if ru-
mOrs are to be counted for anything,
negotiations are now pending for the
purchase of a number of acres on the
island.
1t will be remembered that a few
years ago capitalists came down and
took a look at ST. Simon and they were
much pleased with the north end of
the island as a location for a winter
resort, and it was then reported that
the owners had been made an offer for
the land, but the deal was never closed.
Ii is a well known fact, however,
that these capitalists have kept an
eye on st. Simon and no one would
be surprised to learn that the proper
ty had been sold.
There is no doubling the fact that
st. Simon is a model place for hani-
some winter resort. and should it be
purchased by northern capitalists 1t
could be made second to none in
the SOUTH Jellyl island included, al
though it would take some time to
build cottages, roads. etc.

BLOW TO RURAL ROUTES.

Discovered That There is Not Enough
Money to Establish New Routes.
Washington, August l7.-The very
startling discovery has been made by
officials of the postottice department.
Fourth Assistena Postmaster General
Bristw has learned to his Gismay that
Of the appropriation of S12,0U0, 900 for
the establishment of rural free deliy-
cry routes, during tie fiscal year,
which ends June 80, 1904. only enough
remains to allow the establishment
OF new routes up to january lst Of
next year. Then it will be exhausted.
A w. Machen, the Superintendent
now under Indictment on various
charges, is held responsible for this
condition of affairs. He has practi-
cally mortGaged the appropriation for
the current fiscal year by establishing
outes during the last months of his
incumbency. or the $l2,00O,0G0 ap-
preparation more than une-halt W!ll
oe required To carry routes already
esR4Nshed The intention OF con-
gross was that million dollars a
month should be available for the es-
adjustment Of new routes.
AS it is, less than $4,000 $3.50 remain
lor this purpose.
Under the existing condition of
things, congress VIII either have TO
call halt on the establishment ot
the new rOutes-which is not probable
or pass urgent deficiency bills. whicf
Will enable the department to carry
ont the policy in question 1t is be-
HeVed that the matter will be called

Lumber Merchants Noti-
fled that Advance
is Expected
STEVEDORES GRANT DEMAND
Laborers Along the Bay Now Publish
Card That They viii Expect
Demanded Increase in Wages
After Saturday.

The differences existing between the
dock laborers and the lumber mer-
chants have not yet been settled, and,
although the men are at work as usual
the merchants have not granted the
demanded increase A notice is pub
lished elsewhere The News this
morning to the effect that the men
will demand the raise after Saturday
next.
1t seems that the different steve
dores of the city have granted the
increase asked for to their men, and
now those who are working directly
for the lumber merchants have given
notice that they will expect the same
increase as has been glen by the steve
dores.
1t seems that many of the dock
workers are employed by the steve
dores and the lumber merchants have
nothing TO do whatever with their
Payment, being directly under she
stevedores, while there are gangs that
work for the different lumber mer-
chants and are paid by them. The
stevedoreS have granted the increase
OF 2 IL cents per hour to their men,
and now the iaborers who work for
the merchants are demanding an in
crease
The meeting of the labor union
Monday night was significant. While
the increase was not discussed at ali,
about fifty members were enlisted
These new members nae been WORKING
on the different wharves for some time
and 1t is believed that the labor union
Is after getting them all in the ofgan-
ization in case OF a strike. lts4s ul-
derstood that another meeting will be
held during the week and tnat fifty
more will join.
At present everything is progress
ing as usual along the bay; there are
plenty OF laborers anxious to work ahd
the lumber merchants have not at All
been inconenienced but just what VIII
be done aftr Saturday cannot b fore
told. The merchants will hardly
grant the increase, as, has been stated
before, it is almost impossible just al
this time.
