What is the literature that lives?
Is polished pen-stroke IL?
And does the file
Put tear or smile
In pathOs or in wit?
What is the literature that lives?
Is it the special style,
That magazines
Run through their screens,
Which say 10 a~fterwhile?
What is the literature that lives?
The pale, aenemic kind,
Where culture gives
The touch that lives
And heart is lost IN mind?
What is the literature that lives?
Are made-tO-Ordcr things
The noblest thought
That pen has wrought?
The songs a poet sings?
What is the literature that lives?
The red blood Of the heart
That colors true
The work they do?
Or is IL cultured Art?
What is the literature that lives?
Is it what writers feel
In their own words,
AS songs Of birds.
What roblest they reveal?
What is the literature that lives?
Matter or manner. when
The writer leads
To highest deeds
In conquest Of the pen?

II is claimed that the sugar trust
will gain from the Cuban tariff in
directly rather than directly. One
of the leading refners says:
"The result will be cheaper raw
sugar and that will make neces-
sary cheaper refined sugar. The
people will buy their sugar cheaper
and cheap sugar carries with it in
creased consumption. If these
predictions shall be verified the
benefits of the Cuban reciprocity
treaty will be largely shared by
The masses of the people without
injury to the American beet fugar
interests"
Nevertheless, it has not yet been
proven that the sugar trust will re-

Morgan About
 To AbdiCate
REuINQUiSHiNG HIS CHARGES IN RAILWAY
 MANAGEMENT.
Hartman Elected to Directory of Erie system-oives Way to Rocke- feiler in Control of the New York traI Board.

New York. May 3.-In an article re- viewing J. P. Morgan's relations with big railroad systems the Globe seeks to convey the impression that NIT. Morgan is relinquishing large interests and gradually preparing to retire. It Says:
 "J Pierpont Morgan has lost con- trol of the Erie Railroad, of which he has been the ruling power since the company was reorganized by his firm in 1896. The Erie voting trust ex- pired on May 1 because not more than cnethird of the outstanding stock ex- pressed a desire to have it continue. Although this voting all along has been composed ofe three members, MT. Morgan's influence has been re- cognized as absolute and his dictum as final
 "E H. Harriman's election to the Erie board a few months ago marked the entry of a new and powerful in- terest in this property. Only recent ly two business associates of NIT. Har- riman were elected to vacancies in the Erie board, thus indicating a definite intention to take an active part in the management. Simultaneously with Mir. Harriman's accession to influence in Erie affairs Wall street learned that James J. Hill and MT. Morgan were lessening their financial interest in the property.
 Recent rumors that J. Pierpont Morgan was gradually surrendering the extensive powers that he has wielded in railroad matters for so long time have been based upon the ap- parent indifference on the part Of this influential magnate to the gradual in troduction of new interests in proper ties controlled or largely dominated by him. The formation of the Northern Securities company disclosed that James J. Hill, net MT Morgan, was the controlling force in Northern Paci- fic. Charles S. Mellen's resignation as president of the Northern Pacific was accepted in Wall street as con- elusive Of this fact.
 For many years Mir Morgans' voice in the management of the New York central was scarcely less potent than the voice of any member of the Van derbilt family. Today James Still man, a Rockefeller representative, is next to W. K. Vanderbilt as an in- fiuential factor of the New York Central boz.-d-
 While there is no disposition in any well informed financial quarter to doubt Mir. Morgan's emphatic denial Of the report that he is about to retire from business, some of the recent happenings in railroad circles lead to the belief that the great banker is not averse to the gradual Tightening of his burden of business responsibilities.
 Tt is an evident fact that he has made no fight to retain personal con- trol of either the Erie or the North ern Pacific railroads. He is apparent ly satisfied to relinquish the domina- tion of these properties to other in- terests, so long as he is satisfied as to the integrity and stability of such interests"
