HERMAN MONTAGUE D0NNER
Heart, why beatest though SO gladly?
Are epistles,then, SO rare?
Are sweet perfumes? Nay, beware
Lest the stirring strings breathe sadly
And the nascent song be broken,
Wanting one sweet word unspoken,
One too dear.
Heart, why beatest though so strongly ?
Are, then, whisp' ring lips SO rare?
Or rapt glances? ALI beware,
Lest desire interpret wrongly,
And thy trustful pulse be broken
Peace, then. Hide the faith half spoken
In mine ear.
Heart, why beatest thought so family?
Is the bed of sickness rare?
Or the pallid face? Beware!
Crush thy bitterness unsaintly;
Shall the melody be broken
By nameless and unspoken
Pang of fear?
Heart, why beatest though SO wildly?
l. there no surcease of grief?
And are not all things earthly brief?
QueIl thy temples till more mildly
Soul may question-Nay, thou'rt brokeni
Death thy ship, like hers hath
spoken
Seek we. setting sail from here,
That darker mere.

FACTS MEAN MORE THAN THEORIES

Does The Tribune almanac encourage
that besetting sin, laziness? That charge
has been made, and it is by no means
certain that clever pleader couldn't
prove the allegation. For instance, the
Almanac collects and congresses into one
pocket volume facts and data which it
would take one weeks to hunt for in news
paper files, official publications and num-
erous books. Perhaps it would be better
if people had to dig out this information
for themselves. But there are so many
busy persons who really haven't the time
that it seems pity not to gather and ar
range it for them, and lazy folks who
have time to burn get the benefit just as
we'll.
Possibly The Tribune almanac isn't,
strictly speaking, necessity, but if it
isn't it comes mighty near to being one,
especially for men and women who want
to be able to say this or that is so, not
that they guess or think it is. You all
know how irritating it is to listen to
some speaker or read an article, and after
ward learn that the facts alleged were
either distorted, misstated or inaccurately
given. The individual who earns rep
utation for invariably getting his facts
straight is always sure of respectful
hearing, no matter how sound or unsound
his opinions thereon may be, and the
first step in the direction of forming in
telligent and logical opinions is to be all
right as to the facts. Well, The Tribune
almanac is the Great Book of Facts
great, not because of quantity, but on ac-
count of quality, although it contains
nearly five hundred pages. Just investa
quarter for this years issue, now on sale
and see if you don't think 90,

WASHINGTON LETTER

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 9th, 1904.
I TITLE is being done in Congress. The
- House meets daily and passes few
pension bills with quarter of the mem.
bers present. The Senate convenes with.
out quorum by good deal, and many
of the members go to sleep in the cloak
room while Senator Morgan of Alabama
drones along in what he calls an arraign-
ment of the administration on the
Panama canal treaty. The treaty is not
publicly before the Senator but the
rules of that body permit talk ad libitum
on any matter that happens to come into
the head of the talker.
~
Senator Morgan takes radical ground:
that there is no Republic of Panama; that
this country has no right to foster or en-
courage the preposterous notion; that
the whole scheme is a conspiracy for the
plunder of Colombia, with which we are
at peace; that the French canal company
which has lost half a billion of dollars
has still vitality enough to make an in
mense row to our great expense and de-
triment; that Colombia could reclaim its
own and "wipe out the adventures and
spoliators, Indians, negroes, and China
men who now constitute Panama" in
about one day without interfering with
the traffic on the isthmus if Mr.. Roose-
welt would keep his hands off; &c, &c.
~
There is shadow of support for this, in
the morning papers, which announce
that Colombia has appealed to the French
courts for an injunction to prevent the
transfer of the Panama Canal Company's
rights on the isthmus to the American
government without the consent of COL
ombia. The report causes ruffiing of
the waters.
Senator Marcus A. Hanna will make a |

DINNER WAS
A SUCCESS
Notable Gathering of Promi-
nent Men 10 Further Project
THE GREAT SHIP CANAL

! Never before in her history has the old
Blue Hen Chicken gathered beneath her
wings such a large body of prominent
men as she did on Friday evening of last
week when the banquet was given by the
Board OF Trade of Wilmington, TO fur
ther the project of connecting the waters
OF the Delaware and Chesapeake Bays
with a ship canal. Men, we'll known in
the nation, and two with at least world
wide regulations, sat shoulder to shoulder
with those, who while not known so well
outside the State boundaries, are promi-
nent in Delaware's official life. Every
craft and profession which go to make
industrial Delaware was represented at
the festive board and that they were a
unit in supporting the project was amply
attested by the generous applause which
greeted each speaker.
Wilmington has cause to be proud that
she was the first of the cities that bathe
their borders in the waters of the Della
ware and Chesapeake to sound the de-
mand for the ship canal and the name of
the city has been heralded all over the
land as being if not large city, at least
a progressive one.
The speeches made at the banquet por-
trayed with telling force the advantages
which will accrue to this Peninsula if the
canal is contracted.
The dinner was the largest and most
elaborate affair of its kind ever held in
the State. The decorations in the Pea
cock store, where the banquet was held,
were almost the acme of the decorators
art. Behind the speakers tables large
maps depicting the route of proposed
canal materially aided in bringing home
to those assembled the benefits which
will be ours.
Federal Judge George Gray was the
toastmaster, and in one of his character
lstic addresses, pointed out the part Will
mington will play in the movement. He
said that the people OF Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia
wanted and must have 35-foot channel
from Philadelphia to the sea, and Will
mington particularly demands widening
and deepening of the Christiana River
until with its shipbuilding interests it be-
comes the American Clyde. Judge Gray's
speech was received with loud applause.
In introducing the other speakers the
Judge was particularly happy in his re-
marks and each time he arose was greeted
with handclapping and loud applause.
Ex-United States Senator Anthony
Higgins in lengthy speech, full of we'll
chosen words impressed upon the visitors
present Delaware's claim, and was in
at intervals during his speech
,y loud appreciation OF his efforts.
Former Postmaster General Charles
Emory Smith was the speaker of the
evening. His was an eloquent and for
'ible address, replete with statistics, to
prove the necessity of the canal.
Other addresses were made by Blanch-
lrd Randall of Baltimore, President of
he National Board of Trade; Congress-
men Lacy of Iowa, Lamb of Virginia,
ones of Virginia, John Calwalader of
Representative Gardner of
Sew Jersey and former Congressman L.
rving Handy. R.. Rev. Leighton Cole
nan pronounced the benediction.
