WEST END BURGLARS.
Fired on by Officer Cronin Early This
 MnrnSnS

The report of a revolver shot early this morning aroused the people liy ing in the vicinity of Foote's market on West Main street. People looked out expecting to see a shooting affray but saw only silent empty street and retired wondering where the shot had been fired and what was the cause of it.
 Upon reporting at the police station after returning from duty this morn ing, Officer Cronin whose beat is in the west end, stated to the officer in charge that he had fired a shot at q colored man about one o'clock this morning, on French street because he had reason to believe the man had broken into or was trying to break into Foote's market. Apparently the shot did not strike the man for he ran through Gilbert street, to Ann street and out onto Sperry street.
 After giving up the chase the off cer returned to the market and found the rear door broken open, but noth- ing had been taken, as everything seemed to be in order.
 The officer thought he had heard noise in the store as he was passing on the sidewalk. The burglar must have seen his at this time because re was running up French street before the officer got around to the back door.
 This makes a second burglary that has happened in the west end in two weeks. The other occurred about a week ago in the grocery of which Miles Connolly is manager. About 50 in cash and quantity of canned goods, tobacco and pipes, teas and cof- fees were taken.

Generau naxe. For Peace.

NEW YORK, Feb 1.-General Ra- fael Reyes, Colombia's special envoy, appeared considerably worried over the latest disturbing developments in his country when seen at the Hoffman House. He had a careworn expression and was unusually solemn. 'I have read the reports saying that Colombia would send an army to the isthmus, said General Reyes. Do you think such a move probable?' he was asked. He replied, ''If Colombia is thinking of going to war I know nothing about it and have nothing to do with it.'

ON ST. VALENTINES EVE.
Appropriate and Charming Enter
 tainment For Guests.

Appropriate and Charming Enter
 tainment For Guests.
 No evening in all the year seems quite so suspicious for party as St. Valen- tines eve. Many and varied are the pleasing fancies carried into execution for such an occasion, and concerning these the Boston Cooking School Maga. zine is authority for the following:
 One very pretty custom is to have g small boy dressed as Cupid meet the guests in the hall and invite each gen. tleman to try his skill with bow and arrow. The young ladies are taken into another room, from the doorway of which two hearts overlapping each other are suspended. The gentleman must shoot in the direction of these hearts, and as each arrow flies the girl at whose feet it falls will be the gem tleman's partner for the evening.
 A rather similar custom is to have q small evergreen tree in the end of the parlor, hung with pink paper hearts. On the back of each heart is written the name of one of the ladies among the guests. There should, of course, be as many hearts as there are ladies. If a gentleman aims unsuccessfully he is allowed three trials. The hostess, who is supposed to understand something of the predilections of her St. Valentine guests, removes each heart from the tree as it is hit and scribbles the name of the successful archer beneath that of the young lady whose representa- tive it is for the time being. Needless to say, this rule is rarely carried out to the letter, and only those names are placed together whose owners the host ess knows or imagines will be sym patica.
 As all of the hearts are collected be. fore each gentleman receives the one on which his name is written no sus- picion need be aroused of any interven- tion save that of the kindly blind god himself When two fond hearts find themselves partners for this delightful evening it is much pleasanter to be- lieve it is all due to St. Valentine than to the hostess graceful tact.
 Sometimes the hostess offers prizes for the most correct guesses as to the number of petals in big pink paper an appropriate quotation inscribed upon it. The lady and gentleman guessing the number nearest the correct one re- ceive the prize together. Flowers, pic- lures or any dainty trinkets are appro- priate for these prizes, and for the con solation one candy Cupid or large pink candy heart. The petals of the rose having been numbered in pairs that is, two of each number-each lady and gentleman selects one, and their fates (the quotationsl are then read out together.

cent of this beautiful Indian word
should not be put on the syllable 'ag,
but on the syllable 'ar'-the penult-
the one before the last.
Niagara means bark to the thun-
DER It's accent should fall on the
penult because the Indians them
selves accent it there, because in prac-
tically all our Indian names OF places
the penult is the accented syllable

know. Don't you accent nearly all of
them on the syllable before the last?
There are, for instance, Toronto, Mis-
sissippi, Allegheny, Appalashicola,
Narragansett, Tuscaloosa, Saratoga,
Ticonderoga, Oswego, Conshohocken,
Wissahickon and Hochelaga. In all
these names the accent is on the

Secretary Hay Is Democratic.

John Hay, secretary Of state, is thus
described by a Washington CORE
spondent: "a short man, extraordi-
narily punctilious in dress, with an at
tentively combed beard, and attractive
face, a pleasant voice-a voice OF
singular precision and sibilance; a
man who uses slang in private CONVEX
sation and Yields the English Ian
guage like musical instrument in his
public utterances and who always
wears evening dress IN his own house
after 6 o'clock-that is the outward
man of the secretary of state. The
impression is abroad that Hay is an
aristocrat. In his tastes he is, but not
in his manners. He is democratic,
confidential, though always dignified.
He sometimes, when talking to one
he can trust, discusses great hterna-
tional questions in pungent idioms and
with a Yankee rough-and-readiness
that is proof positive Of his author
ship of Pike County Ballads He is
sensitive to criticism-there is no man
in public lne more sensitive"

here. Hey, comrades!" he called over
his shoulder. "Yonder-to the left
the old landmark! Do you see?" His
glance, as it came back, took in his
captive THE first bar of your cage,
my hawk. Yonder is the first bounda-
ry of Ivarsdale."
Every man started up in his saddle,
and the cheers they had held back
upon leaving camp burst forth now
with added zest. Peering over her
captor's shoulder, Randalin looked for
ward anxiously.
Below the plain in whose center the
old elm held up its blasted top to be
silvered by the sun, the land dipped
abruptly toward the river, to rise be-
yond in long low hill. Rolling green
meadows lay at its foot and warm
brown fields dotted with matched
farm houses and it's sides were check
cred with patches of woodland and
stretches of golden barley. Just be-
low the crest, the tower of the Lords
of Ivrsdale reared it's gray walls above
the surrounding greenery. 1t was a
kingdom to itself, with the light slant
ing warmly upon its fertile slopes and
the forest standing like strong army
at it's back.
Because it was so peacefully lovely,
and because of her utter WEAKNESS,
tears welled up under the girls heavy
lids as she looked.
She said unsteadily, "Saw | never
a fairer cage, lord"
But the Ethelings eager glance had
travelled on; for the first time the
sun was shining out brightly in his
face.

smile. 'Noise!" he ordered Cheer

feelings. And let your horn sound

There's Not a Joy.

There's not joy the world can give like
that it takes away,
When the glow of early thought declines
in feelings dull decay;
IT'S not on youths smooth cheek the
blush alone which fades so fast,
But the tender bloom of heart is gone
ere youth itself be past.
Then the few whose spirits float above
the wreck of happiness
Are driven DER the shoals of guilt or
ocean of excess;
The magnet of their course is gone, or
only points in vain :,
The shore to which their shivered sail
shall never stretch again.
Then the mortal GOODNESS of the soul like
death itself comes down;
1t cannot feel for others woes, 1t dare
not dream its own;
That heavy chill has frozen Ger the
fountain of our tears,
And though the eyes may sparkle still,
tits where the ice appears.
Though wit may flash from fluent lips,
and mirth distract the breast,
Through midnight hours that yield no
more their former hope of rest;
TITS but as ivy leaves around the ruined
turret wreath,
All green and wildly fresh without, but
worn and gray beneath.
oh, could feel as 1 have felt, or, be what
l have been,
Or Weep as | could once have wept DER
many a vanished scene:
AS springs in deserts found seem sweet,
all brackish though they be.
So. midst the withered waste of lie.
those tears would flow to me.
-Lorn Byron.
