tFrom the Russian of Poushkin)
O sing. thou fairest sing me not,
The Georgian melancholy songs,
They waken as in dreams forgot
Thought that to distant lands belongs
For upon me in piercing pain,
Thy sad songs break in sorrow,
The clear steppe nights and moon again
They from my childhood borrow.
Those lonely scenes by thee forgot
| would forget them gladly
Bat when thou sinEest I cannot,
They call to me so sadly.

Mob Fooled by Pistols of Police.

Only by drawing their revOlvers and
threatening to shoot to kill did several
Brooklyn policemen prevent a mob
from wreaking vengeance on Freder-
ack keiselmeyer, says dispatch to
the Inter Mountain, after he had shot
his wife and step-daughter yesterday.
Up to the doors of the Hamburg po-
lice street station the mob went, cry
ing Lynch him." and it was neces-
say to call out the reserves.
Keiselmeyer was so badly beaten be-
necessary to call an ambulance.
Although he is 90 years old, Keisel-
meyer was driven to the shooting by
jealousy of his wife, whom he married
three years ago and who is 81 years
old.
She owns the house in which they
lived and in the station house he as
serted that she had been receiving the
attentions of a wealthy butcher for
several months and that he saw her
and her daughter with this man Just
before the shooting.
Suffering from three bullet wounds,
his wife said in reply to his assertions
that he was crazy.
The shooting followed quarrel,
during which Keiselmeyer was re-
minded that he did not own the house.
The wife probably will recover, but it
is thought the daughter is fatally
wounded.

Pope Passes Away,
Pope Leo XIII is dead.

rope Leo ALI IS Qea0.
The last flicker of life expired at
four minutes past four Monday after
noon, and the pontiff now lies at rest.
The period of over two weeks that
Pope Leo passed in the shadow of
death, was no less wonderful than his
life.
His splendid battle against death
was watched the world over, was SYM
pathetic, with sympathetic attention,
and was attended with tremendous
efforts to conquer the weakness by the
marvellous power of his mind.
The pleuro-pneumonia, with which
his holiness had been suffering was
scarcely so responsible for his death
as that inevitable decay of tissue
which ensues upon ninety-three years
of life.
The tested steel which had bent so
often before human ills was bound to
break at last.
At present the emaciated and 1ifeless
frame which held so brave a spirit, lies
on a bed in the Vatican.
The red damask coverlet rests light
ly over the body; the cardinals scar
let cape is about the shoulders, while
on his head has been placed the papal
hood of velvet, bordered with ermine.
A white silk handkerchief is bound
about his chin, and in the hands that
have blessed SO many thousands has
been placed crucifiX.
So Pope Leo will remain watched by
uniformed officers of the noble guard
and rough-clad Franciscan peniten-
tiaries, who will keep a ceaseless vigil
until the burial ceremonies.
Tuesday the sacred college of car
dinals assembled for the official duty
of pronouncing Pope Leo d e d.
This sad function performed, the body
was taken to the small throne room
adjoining the death chamber, where it
will be embalmed.
The funeral ceremonies will extend
over nine days, the remains being re-
moved to the cathedral of Saint Pc
ter's, where they will lie in state. The
ultimate resting place of the dead
pontiff will be in the magnificent
basilica of St. John Lateran.

There has been no particular change

sirable grades OF cattle ruling a shade
higher. The prime native steers are
selling from IS, 25 to $3.50 per cwt with
very few sales above IS. Is 1t takes
good native steers to bring Sets per lb.
On Mondays market there was a
small lot of range cattle shipped from

were IS steers that were of ONLY fair
quality, and in only fair condition. that
went to the feeders trade at S.. 10 per

Prominent YounI Life Suddenly Ended.

Prominent Youn1 Life Suddenly Ended.
Seldom has death invaded a home in
this city and claimed as his own
young person so sincerely mourned by
all who knew him as when he laid his
icy hands upon Charles r. Lord last
Sunday evening and took his spirit on
its flight to the mysterious land that
lies beyond. The shock produced when
it became known that "Charley" was
no more, was painful and many grieved
with the stricken parents, feeling with
them personal loss. Coming as it
did without knowledge that he had been
sick, many were stunned when told
that he was dead and some refused to
believe it, regarding it merely as a
rurnor that some one had started sense.
lessly or under misunderstanding.
But the awful truth had been told and
a promising and beautiful young life
has been ended.
The deceased was employed by the
government as mail cleLk between this
city and Missoula. Although he had
been thus engaged for several months,
it was only as substitute. Last Fri
day he was notified of his regular ap-
pointment, but the glad announcement
found him PROSTATE in bed, sick of the
disease that claimed him only few
hours afterward.
Last Thursday he returned from
his run and complained to his parents
that he was not feeling we'll and took
to his bed. A doctor was summoned
who made an examination, but seem
ingly could not determine what the
nature of the ailment was. Without
any apparent cnange Mr.. Lord con-
tinued in the same condition all that
day and Friday. Saturday he seemed
to be considerably better and apparent
ly remained so until Sunday evening,
about an hour before he died, when he
suddenly grew much worse and death
came at $50 o'clock.
Charles r. Lord was only on the
threshold of what promised to be
vigorous and successful life. He was
born at Bar Harbor, Me-, July l, 1885,
With his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. II. ].
Lord, he came to Billings four years
ago. During part of that time he was
in the employ of the Northern Pacific
company, occupying clerical posi-
tion at the freight depot, and also
months ago he received his appoint
ment as extra mail clerk and was
given a run on the Billings Missoula
railway postoffice. He had passed an
excellent examination and was on the
list for regular appointment, which,
as already stated, came last Friday.
On that day he dictated his report to
the chief of the service and also sent
an excuse for his failure to go out when
his turn came.
The body was removed to Smith S
undertaking rooms, where an autopsy
was conducted yesterday afternoon.
Death was found to have ensued from
appendicitis is.-Gazette.
The funeral was held from the Bap-
tist church at 2 O'Clock Tuesday after
neon at which some of the most beauti-
full floral offerings that were ever
shown in Billings were displayed,
showing the kindly light in which the
young man was regarded. Mr.. Lord
had many friends at Forsyth who
greatly deplore his sudden demise.
