THINGS THAT NEVER DIE.

The pure, the bright, the beautiful,
That stirred our hearts in youth,
The impulses of worthless prayer,
The dreams of love and truth;
The longlngs after something lost,
The spirits yeanlng cry,
The striving after better hopes
These things can never die.
The timid hand stretched forth to aid
A brother in his need,
A kindly word in grief's dark hour
That proves friend, indeed;
The plea for mercy softly breathed,
When justice threatens nigh;
The sorrow of contrite heart
These things shall never die.
The memory of a clasplng hand,
The pressure of a kiss,
And all the trifies sweet and frail
That make up loves first bliss;
Ii with firm, unchanging faith,
And holy trust and high,
Those hands have clasped, those lips
have met
These things shall never die.
The cruel and bitter word,
That wounded as it fell
The chilling want of sympathy
We feel but never tell;
jhe hard repulse that chills the
heart,
Whose hopes were bounding high,
In an unfading record kept
These things shall never die.
let nothing pass. for every hand
Must find some work to do;
Lose not a chance to waken love-
Be firm and just and true.
So shall light that cannot fade
Beam on thee from on high,
And angel voices say to thee
These shall never die.

PerIaue Tobacoo.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
 Speaking of tobacco consumption. said diligent user of the weed who knows a few things about the business. "If imitation is the sincerest fattery in everything, then Louisiana pcrique tobac- co occupies a sigularly enviable position in the world of mild narcotic pIeasur es. The annual production of the famous brand of tobaco is between 400OO and 50, 900 pounds, the total production of the world-famous vacheries of St. James Parish Yet it Is of record, according to the statement of a drummer who was re- gently In New Orleans that his house uses 100000 pounds of perique tobacco a year as an ingredient of one of "perique mixtures, supplied to the smoking pulp lie of America. Where perique comes from the drummer does not know, but he knows that his house last year sold peri que mixture in volume sufficient to ac- count for the disposal of four or five times the entire production of the genu- inc perique crop
 'The term 'perique crop however is a misnomer, for perique tobacco is not natural produce but manufactured A particular portion Is grown, and then treated especially, with the result of what is commercially known as perique. The many limitations with which the public are supplied are 1t is said by experts, vir- tually the same in quantity and flavor, thought not the same as perique in either the original, natural leaf or in process of manipulation Into marketable form. The imitation is treated in various way, acetie acid being used by some commercial house. whereas the genuine perique is moi subjected to the influence of any foreign matter whatever" !"

MANCHURIA AGAIN
 UNDER DISCUSSION
NO OFFICIAL STATEMENTS HAVE YET BEEN GIVEN OUT AT WASH iNcToN REGARDING LATEST PHASE OF THE SITUATION.

Washington, July 3.-If the American government has been made acquainted with the latest phase of the Manchurian situation, as indicated in the Odessa dls- patch, the officials have succeeded in keeping that fact from the public. Owing to the late hour at which the dispatch was received here 1t was impossible to obtain any information from state off, cials on the subject.
 There have been conferences lately be- tween Secretary Hay and Count Cassini, the Russian ambassador, regarding Man. churia. Some indications had appeared that the Russian government had found 1t impossible to shape her policy respect ing Manchuria so that it might be more acceptable to the United States.
 But the recent official statement re- garding the presentation to the Russian government of the Jewish petition indi- cated that the administration felt that Russia had sought to induce China to join in breaking the plighted faith of all the powers as to the open door in Man churia, and so had acted adversely to American interests. It is quite possible our government has been sounded as to its attitude on the subject of the Anglo Japanese note, and 1t is also within the bounds of possibility that the protest ing powers may have the moral support of the United States.

COMING TO BIRMINGHAM.
Division Headquarters of Southern to
 Be Moved Here.

The following appeared in the Knoxville Sentinel yesterday:
 The headquarters of the western dis- trict of the Southern Railway are to be removed from Chattanooga to Birming- ham about October 1. The offices of the A. c. s. are to be used until the South ern erects a large general office struc- ture at that place. This change will be taken with many regrets by Chattanooga. Why there should be a change Is hard to see. Chattanooga Is well situated with reference to the center of the western district of the Southern system.
 "One explanation is that there is to be another district made of the system and that this change is in the order of re- adjustment. Where tiie headquarters of the other districts would be, should there be such a change, could only be sur .rnised at present.

Sheep Not Easily Photographed.

From the Boston Transcript.
 If your friend the amateur photogra- pher sends you sheep picture of his own taking, and it answers to your idea of such a picture, you may know that 1t represents some of the hardest work ever undertaken in his photographing ca reer It's an instinct with sheep to be scared at everything and at nothing as well. and the photographer must get them accustomed to him and to his camera be- fore he can dare to turn 1t on them. It sometimes takes hours of patient work to do this, and even as the hand is about 10 release the shutter away will stalk the whole flock as if familiarity with the camera person had bred disgust.

INVESTIGATION IS
 AGAIN RESUMED Evidence in Brown Case at Pittsburg Develops Slowly POISON IS CONSPICUOUS Late Recorder Thought to Have se- cured Drug During Moment When
 He Was Left Alone In
 Ills Room.
POISON IS CONSPICUOUS

Pittsburg, July s.-The investigation by the coroner as to the cause or the death of the late Recorder J. o. Brown was resumed today.
 Miss Susie Mclean, a member of the family with whom Brown was boarding, and in whose home he died, testified that Brown was decidedly i'll when he returned from New York on March IS.
 After breakfast he lay down to take a nap, and when time came for him to go to his office, we could not awaken him. telephoned for the doctor and told him Brown was lying in a stupor as a result of taking trional powders. The doctor re- piled: There's nothing to do but let him sleep It off Take all of the powders and medicines and his revolver out of his room. "
 The witness then related how the re- volver was removed and how, when the box that had contained the trional was found, 1t was empty. It had contained fifteen powders.
 Witness Gives Evidence.
 Dr. McKelver called to see him the next day. He gave instructions again that all medicine and drugs were to be re- moved from the room and that Brown was not to be left alone at any time Some time after the doctor left Brown made an attempt to get the witness to go to the cellar after lithia water. Her sister Kettle had been sent out of the room by Brown on the pretext that he wanted a baked apple. The witness would not leave the room, but finally Brown in- duced her to leave She went out into the hallway and watched him. He went to a drawer in bureau and took out a small box.
 The witness went and after struggle got the box In which she noticed the word Cyanide" on the box. Miss Mclean told at length how Brown had tried to get her and others out of the room, and she said once when she had pretended to withdraw she saw him go to the chif- fioner where the revolver had been kept and make search for it. Later he was permitted to go Into another room where a revolver had also been kept on a chf- fioner and he made hunt there for the weapon. His keys, the witness went on to say, had been taken from him on Sat urday so that he could not get into draw CTS where he was supposed to have drugs.
 Was Better Sunday.
 On Sunday he was so much better that 1t was believed that his tranquility of mind had been restored. He asked for his keys and they were given him. He was left alone at time during Sunday The witness gave Brown his last dose at 2:15 D. m. Sunday. II was strichnia. He Was seeminly recovering then but about 3 o'clock he fell into a stupor and died at o'clock.
 While 1t was not said by the witness, the inference was that Brown had secur- ed poison during a moment he was left alone in the room. The witness said:
 About two or three weeks before he died heard him say he would die before he would go back to live with his wife. :"
 Miss Nettie Mclean told similar story to that related by her sister.
 The coroner ordered an adjournment until July 10.
