(By Langhorne)
Some go to church to sing and PRAY
That they grow better day by day.
Some go, to hear the word OF God.
That It may be their staff and rod.
Some go there to fill the pews.
And. perchance, to hear the newss
Some 20 Just to please their wives
Thus to prove their pious lives.
Some there be who go for fun,
BY this class no harm Is done.
Some go their newest dress to Show
This we every one well know,
Some the minister to criticise,
BY which they would appear Wtoot
Some a Christian name to win
That they may hide a life of sins
some go because they rather feel
'Twere better once a week to kneelS
Some go. they think 1t Is the style
70 speak OF them is not worth whtlss
Some go to hear line or two
They can so off and misconstrue:
But those who go. and go indeed,
Are those who live at home their Greed

TROUBLE WITH GREAT BRITAIN.

Serious Difference Arising from Our
Treaty With Cuba.
LONDON, January zl--The reciprocity
treaty between Cuba and the United
States threatens to5raise one Of the most
serious differences OF opinion between
Great Britain and the United States that
has occurred for years. So much i'm
pcrtanceS Is attached to the matter that
a meeting OF the Cabinet is being special
rly summoned to see what action can be
taken. There Is, Of course. no alarmist
feeling as to any possible straining OF
diplomatic rela tons. but Great Brtta1n'5
entire commercial policy IS believed to
be vitally concerned.
The matter came to head through
the deputa ton from the chambers Of
commerce. Of the United Kingdom. which
waited upon Foreign Secretary Lans-
doWne yesterday. Replying to the dele
gates argument that all the advantages
which the government had gained by Sc
curing the abolition OF the sugar houn-3
ties would be sacrificed IL the Cuban res
ciprocity treaty became operative Lord
Lansdowne said he thoroughly realized
the gravity of the situa tion,s and read dis
patches showing that Amba esad dor Her:
bert had foreefully represented the Bit,
ish oblec lions to the trea IT,. Score ary
Hays reply was that the United States
was doing more than It had the right TO
do. ard intimateA that It had no inten-
ton Of modify wing the Cuban tfsa ~

ISOLATION.

(Bv Elizabeth Burwer Jones.)
So tjred-and the poor. weak head
Falls on the wearied breast
The only thins her fancy Graves
Is blessed rest.
Through all her life she's walked aloncs
No loving hand haS. moved the stouA
For her poor feet
No gentle look, no soft caress.
No loving hand has stroked tYesS
And made life sweet.
The sympathetic loving friend she has
not found:
No heartfelt tears OF grief Will fall
Upon her mound.
The flowers that DER her coffin lie
Shall speak no word
Shall tell no tale Of sorrowSd heart.
OF agony with her to part
She'll die unheard.

plies only to circuit courts Therefore,

A. ]. MONTAGUE.
Conrad,s Cross Examinations.
This is practically In accordance with
Judge Woods testimony. but hardly with
the lines of Major Conrad's cross-exarn-
ination. The latter, 1t will be recalled,
tried to make it appear that Judge Camp.
bell did not care particularly to have
Judge Wood preside at his trial.
Judge Campbell. however, had set his
bear trap some time before he ever
drea.nt of employing Major Conrad as
his counsel.
Common weslth's Attorney Otto J..
Evans. Of Amherst who was shot by
Judge Campbell. has announced that he
proposes to quit tho festive Amherst.
and continue his growth In some COM
paratively peaceful western country, like
the Indian Territory. Mr.. Evans has
given no reason for his change Of base,
but his friends say he Is prompted by
desire to reside In some community
where pistols and coffee or rather. Days
whiskey. are not In constant demand.

piling up the dirt as many feet above
ground. George L. Mayo, a white man
about 50 years of age, and a negro were
at work in the hole. Yesterday after
noon, without the slightest warning, the
red clay which was piled on the edge of
the excavation began to cave In, and
Mayo was caught in the slide, He was
knocked against the temporary wood gut
ter which had been constructed to carry
the water off and covered with clay IN
to his shoulders. His position was q most
dangerous one. and to add to his dis.
comfort the cold water poured from the
gutter over his head and shoulders. max.
Ing the earth damp and harder to handle
It took thirty minu,es to dig him out
The ambulance had been called. and he
was taken at once to his home, No, 1900
west Leigh street. An examination show
ed that no bones were broken, though
Mr.. Mayo suffered Intensely from the
shock and the cold. and will not be
able to work for some tina. The negro
escaped unhurt.
Mr.. Mayo is a widower with four chill,
dren. and had been out OF work for some
time. He secured this position Friday,
and had only been at work two days.
