NOT BEYOND aoDEsTY.

The Sunday Herald offered prize of
S1OO TO the woman who sent to that
Office before February %, 1896, the best
answer TO the question, HowNtar may
woman go to encourage man to
propose marriage?' OF the many
articles in prose and verse which ap-
Deared In the New York Sunday Her
aid tins fello1ing is the most cainty
and artistic:
To the Editor Of the Herald:
You ask me how far woman may go?
say she may go as far
AS the dim, vague place where her
soul shall point,
Where the gates of modesty are;
She must never go those gates beyond,
Nor set those gate ajar.
You ask me how far woman may go?
III answer a pool is there
Where she herself her soul may see
In its depths of crystal clear;
The name of that pool is Parity;
SIS; Let her keep her image there.
You ask how far woman may go:
/ answer, woman's brow,
Is woman's lips and q woman's eyes
Are gems that fash and glow.
Bns a womsn's love is beyond all
these,
In a place that none may know;
In her wonderful, heart, that must be
found,
And she cannot seek to show.

Grant Kissed Them Both.

Will Carleton, the poet author, was
speaking the other day of his last in
terview with Gen. Grant. 81 had seen
him and met him on various occa-
sions," he said, but this was the first
time | had ever had him to myself for
half an hour We talked of his IA
nous trip around the world, and COM
pared data concerning places where
we had both been. Especially was he
struck with Ayr, the birthplace Of
Burns, and with two of Burns nieces,
the Misses Begg, two elderly maiden
ladies who lived in co2y cottage a
few miles from 'auld Kirk Alloway.'
| had happened to visit them immedi-
ately after Grant was there, and they
were naturally enthusiastic about the
great American hero. When he went
ava, said one of them to me conf
dentially, he kissed my sister good
by But when l laughingly repeated
this to the general he said quietly, Il
kissed both of them IN. Y. World.

Joining the cemetery at Tarborough.
The town is fairly near London. and
there arc three different lines of rail-
way. Let us arrange to meet there
the night after the jubilee. If the lit.
tie surprise packet which / have ar
ranged for the queen and the royal
family achieves It's purpose, and re-
ceive no personal injury and can slip
away in the confusion, / shall be at
the shed at midnight the day after to
meet you. If | am either killed or
taken you'll have read about it in the
papers, and must make your arrange
ments for the conduct of the business
without me. One thing | can premise
you-that should | be taken. your Sc
cret will be safe with me. Were | to
be captured redhanded in an attempt
to assassinate the queen on the one
day of all days when the poor fools
who call themselves her loyal subjects
will consider her person as sacred, the
chances are ten to one that | get
lynched on the spot But even If the
police can prevent that, and get me
safely away, no power on earth can
save my neck from the hangman. And
rest assured that | shan't try to save
it by playing my comrades false. Who
ever turns traitor, | shant. We meet
again, fellow-councillors, at Tar
borough, at the place | have told you
Of, and at midnight on the day after
the jubilee. Don't fail to turn up
punctually on the night before, Num-
Der Seven. I shall need your assist
ance. I think that's all; now we can
adjourn this meeting and get TO bed"

PRESClENCE.

Love, hear the burden of my prayer:
Twill not be always thine to WOO,
And lifeless fingers have no care
If laid therein be rose or rue.
Love. hear the burden of my prayer:
Give me to-day to hear thee VOW
How dear my eyes, my lips, my hair,
Nor wait for Death to teach thee how.
Love, hear the burden of my prayer:
Lock me to-day in thy embrace!
Too late when striving candles flare
To rain thy kisses on my face!
Eove, hear the burden of my prayer:
Walk with me gently down the days.
Lest Death come on US, unaware,
And point the parting of the ways.

PORT ARTHUR MAY BE LOST
Latest Reports Indicate That Japanese Have
Captured Russian Stronghold

vostock squadron in July was ex,
tremely expensive to the japanese,
and not only was retaliation tempt
ing, but it was demanded by CONNER
cial interests. The navy, however,
grimly refused to make a diversion
and stuck to Port Arthur. 1t was
confident that the harbor soon would
be untenable for the Russian war
ships, that it would eventually get a
fair fight in the open sea away from
the Russian land batteries, and that
the Japanese would win. These cal
culations of the navy were correct,
and the Russians, with the chances
even, have been hopelessly defeated.
Vice Admiral Kamimura, after
months of weary and patient waiting,
finally got his chance at dawn today
off Tsu Island He sunk the Russian
cruiser Rurik and sent the cruisers
Gromoboi and Rossia fleeing back
from the fight.
japanese guns dominate the dock
yards at Port Arthur, and in view OF
this fact it would seem to be impos-
sible again to make seaworthy or
fightable the Russian battleships
which have returned to Port Arthur.
1t is probable that the Russian balue-
ship Czarevitch will disarm at Using
chou.
The best possible naval force the
Russians can now concentrate at
Vladivostock is four cruisers.
In the fight of August 10 the squad
ron, under Admiral Togo, was prac-
tically uninjured. The battleship Mi
kasha suffered the most, but she con-
tinues on the fighting line.
The cruisers Yakumo, Misshini and
Kaugo were hit, but repairs have al
ready been made. Eleven wounded
officers and &c wounded men arrived
at Sasebo Sunday.
The steamer Gaelic, bound for
Shanghai, at 10 o'clock yesterday
morning, sighted a Russian cruiser,
evidently the Novik, steering south
east by east. This course showed her
to be heading for Van Diemen Strait.
Van Diemen Strait is about l2O
miles south Of Nagasaki and it would
be presumed from the Novik's going
in this direction that she proposes to
try and reach Vladivostock by the
east coast of Japan.

car of the Tazewell Electric Company,
Tazewell, Va, Tuesday afternoon, a
dozen or more people were placed in
jeopardy of their lives. The dynamite
was put into the flange Of the track
by unknown persons and when the ex-
plosion occurred the passengehs, num-
bering >out half dozen ladies and as
many men, were panic-stricken, but no
cne was injured beyond being severely
shocked. The car was so badly damaged
that the passengers had to be trans
fcrred in hacks and taken hastily to the
train. The affair caused a good deal OF
excitement in the neighborhood. There
is no clue to the perpetrators Of the
crime

The Claims Of the Individual

It. is one of the confusing elements
of modern society that anarchism. So
cialism, science, and free thought are
producing heroes and martyrs to set
beside those of the definitely relig-
ious sects. There is apparently no
school of thought or ethics with a
monopoly of holiness. Somewhere in
the mean of all these conflicting theo-
ries lies the germ of truth fitted for
mortal understanding, but mean time
.ndividualism is unquestionably safe
in its assertion that no society, no
organization, no consolidation what
soever is nobler than the individuals
that compose it, and that the devel-
opment of the individual, not by the
stunting processes of fear, but by the
strengthening processes of freedom,
is the first duty of man.--Harper's
Weekly.

All Unions With Strikers.

Chicago, Special.-All the labor un.
ions in Chicago have endorsed the
stock yards strike: After listening to
the strikers side Of the controversy,
which was presented to them by Mi
chael J. Donnelly, president Of the
striking butchers union, the Chicago
Federation of Labor, which is COM
posed of every labor organization IN
Chicago and has membership Of
nearly 100000, adopted resolutions
Sunday night pledging the moral and
financial support of the federated
body as long as the strike continues.
Each member Of the central body will
ba assessed a small sum per week
and the whole amount will be turned
over to the striking unions to help
in the support Of the strikers and
their families during the struggle with
the packers. The exact amount each
member was 20 be assessed was left
in the hands of a committee with or
ders to report results Monday. While
the officials of the Federation Of La
Dor were unable to give cut an exact
estimate of the amount Of money the
strikers would secure from this
source, it was stated that the total
sum would be well up in the thous-
andS each week.
After a fight which has lasted for
nearly four weeks, a settlement OF
the stock yards strike seems to be
as remote as at any time since the
struggle began. Neither side to the
conflict, during all this time, has
shown any sign of weakening.
