WOMAN AND SOCIETY

When quietude reigns, o, so lonely,
And from toll 1 am free,
have one consolation only
A thought of thee
When night reigns, o, so cold
And in visions angels I see.
Methinks 1 see thy face as of old
In dreams of thee.
When lovely morn reigns, o, so bright
Bird voices echoeing from the tree,
A token of joy for the light
Again love / think of thee.
When dawn of eve reigns o, golden Sun
set.
It's last rays illumining the lee.
I recall to memory glad moments
Alone with thee! with thee!

Blind Tiger Talk.

United States Commissioner Ohm Nichols
said yesterday that, since his return from
Washington on Sunday, he had received
information of not less than SIX. and
possibly seven blind tigers in Raleigh.
Investigation had shown, he said, that
four out Of the six persons accused of re-
failing liquor possessed Federal licenses,
and so could not be reached by the Fed
eral authorities, but only by the city
government.
The Federal license are issued on July
first for one year, or after July first for
the remainder of the year, so any one VINO
procured Federal license after the first
of last July and before the first of Janu-
airy, is safe until the last day OF next
June, as far as the Federal authorities
are concerned. But of couse such person
is amenable to the State law now, as the
Raleigh dispensary was established on
January first.
Mr. Nichols says that he will at once in
vestigate the two cases IN which the
persons concerned have not Federal
licenses. The seventh case has not been
named yet, but information concerning
1t is expected today.
One gentleman told Mr.. Nichols that on
Sunday he saw young men openly drink
ing beer and whskey at one of those
places where the proprietor had Fed
eral license.
Another gentleman said that he was in
Weldon the other day, at the freight depot,
and heard them calling over some of the
shipments Among them one caught his
ear 1t was a shipment of three barrels
of bottled beer to a party in Raleigh.
Any one could go now to certain back
door in the city and get some sof that
bottled beer that came from Weldon.

ton than Theodore Roosevelt did at the
convention of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemcn held in Buffalo. A pub
lie meeting vas held on the night Of
Sept. -. Fully 5000 persons were in
attendance.
Grand Master Uannahan. in conclud-
ing an address. called attention to the
fact that a New York newspaper had
criticised the President because he had
accepted an honorary membership in the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Fircmen.
Let me say" said Mr.. Hannahan, that
IL the President of the United States or
any other OF its citizens does nothing
worse than accept membership in this
organization he will neither merit the i'll
will nor deserve the censure of any Of
his fellow-men. (Cheers.)
"If the rest OF the public, and particu-
larry those who are intrusted with the
direction OF our government and the
management of the nations greatest en-
terprises would do as the President and
meet us upon q common level. there
would be fewer strikes and less strife
and more OF peace and goodwill in the
industrial world"
What has the President done for
you!' shouted an intoxicated man. who
stood near the stage door on the right.

peated Grand Master Hannahan. 1.-The
President has proven TO the organized
w~orkingmcn of this country that he has
an interest in their welfare by accepting
an honorary membership in an organiza-
ton OF men whose faces are bcgrimel

The monster audience burst into
deafening cheers. The tumult rolled
from wall 10 wall and back again. Men
stood up on the benches. wildly waving
their hats and cheering for the Presi-
dent. The demonstration was spon-
tancous and was general all over the hall.
Finally it died down and some one in
the audience shouted:
"Hurrah for Theodore Roosevelt"
And again the crowds burst into
cheers and when the second demonstra-
ton died out the intoxicated man was
nowhere to be seen.
During the demonstration the men on
the stage sat silent and made no effort
either to check or urge on the remark

ceived. The brotherhood does not per-

there was when Bryan was nominated

Republican Vs.. Democratic Policy.

Organization does much TO maintain
the wages of labor, hut organization OF
wage-earners does not provide cOnsum-
ers. Consumption of coal is always
greatest when mills and factories are run,
ming full time. 1t is the policy of the
Republican party to protect all indus
tries by wise and bcneticent laws. while
it has been the policy of the Democratic
party, as evidenced by the last Cleveland
administration, to provide as much work
as possible for the artisans of other coun,
tries by removing the protection the tar,
if affords American workingmcn.
