THE HEAarLEssNEss OF MAN.

They quarreled on day. twas 3
trife,
No doubt, that induced them to part.
That caused her to bid him to stifie
The love that had bloomed in his
heart
She saw him turn slowly and sadly
To leave her, she heard his good
bye;
Gle loved her-he swore Ahe did
madly;
She held her head proudly and high.
&de did not return, for some reason,
To humble himself at her feet;
Another arrived in due season,
Fate having decreed they should
meet
ole told her the lovely old story,
And she, as his bride, reached the
height
OF what to woman is glory
Then quietly passed out of sight.
The other man gained high station,
And, having enthroned himself
there,
Possessing the worlds admiration,
Won the heart of girl who was
fair.
Far back, where few saw and few
knew her,
Was one who went nursing an ache.
Because he had not returned to her.
Or, at least, had not failed for her
sake

DETECTIVES IN FICTION.
Sherlock Holmes Dissected by Scot
land Yard Chief.

Sherlock Holmes confded. to DR..
Watson SO many times his unreserv
ed opinion of the official detectives. OF
Scotland Yarders, that Conan Doyle's
readers will be especially interested
in what Sir Robert Anderson, head OF
London's criminal investigation de-
partment, has just wrftten-apropos
of Holmes "return"-concerning the
estimation which the regular men
hold of the amateur sleuthhound OF
Baker street.
Perhaps it will be best to give Sill
Roberts views, as a practical Grimm.
al agent, upon certain details of the
Adventures before quoting what the
famous ex-commissioner OF police has
to say regarding Holmes gibes at the
methods Of the regular force.
''It implies no disparagement of DR.
Doyle's art" he says, that in the 'Ad'
ventures of Sherlock Holmes the ele'
ment of exaggeration is seldom want,
ing. The Final Problem exemplifies
this in notable way. To an expert
at all events, the story of Moriartys
tracking Holmes to Switzerland Is
preposterous."
Sir Robert goes on: I'm this coun.
try, an accused person must, without
the slightest delay, be brought before
magistrate. But in the Study in
Scarlet we are told that Jefferson
Hope was to be put before the magis-
trate in the course of week. In The
Man With the Twisted Lip the police
at Bow street flushed the thing up
apparently without the intervention
of magistrate at all.
And in The Sign of Four the
closing scene reminds us of one OF
Dickens's bagmen stories. Jonathan
Small makes a quartet with our tive
friends and the Bow street officer.
whose prisoner he is, in the Baker
street lodgings we know so well; and
ensconced in comfortable chair,
with q glass of spirits and water al
hand, he spends pleasant hour in
telling the story of his crimes. And
even this is capped by DR.. Watson's
being allowed to carry away the treas.
ure chest, the corpus of the crime.
which is supposed to contain jewels
of priceless value. He conveys i. in
cab to the house of his fiancee, and
in her presence he breaks it open with
poker." And thus the practical de-
tective goes on at some length.
Evidently, however. Sir Robert An.
derson does not take Holiness jibe at
the expense of Scotland Yard with
great seriousness. There is a wide
difference" he says, between the
work of the responsible police officer.
whose business it is to bring Grimm.
ais to justice, and in the work of the
private detective who has merely to
ascertain the facts and to solve seem.
ing mysteries. But the difference is
not SO vital as that which distin-
guishes the fancies OF the novelist
from the facts of real life
"He must be a poor sort of crea.
tu,e who capnot solve his own prob
lens. And it is delightful to notice
how accurately the Sherlock Holmes
keys invariably fit the Sherlock
Holmes locks. and how invariably his
two and two makes four. But in real
life keys are apt to get missed or mis-
laid.- and two and two have some
times a way of making twenty-five;
all OF which may be quite unprevent-
able and is always most embarrassing

General Sends a Letter to

INDIANAPOLIS, md. June ,2S;-The
national Prohibition committee tonight
selected as temporary chairman of the
Castle, of Pittsburg, and for temporary
secretary w G. .Colderwood, of. Min
neapolis. The nominations will. be
made Thursday.
A letter written by Gen. Nelson A.
Miles tozJohn c. ,Woolley;. of Chicago
and dated from Washington city, June
20, which was made public today, is
believed by Mr.. Stewart and others to
be final and to eliminate Gen. Miles
from consideration as a presidential
candidate. The letter says: jsxs:
! Frequent mention has. been made by
you and by others of a proposal to place
me in nomination by the convention to
meet in Indianapolis On the 18th inst. AS
stated by me in previous letter that
has been published, my judgment strong
ly favors the poStponement of action by
that convention until the nominations at
Chicago and st. Louis have been made.
This was suggested not as denying or
questioning the Importance of the sub
ject of temperance, but in the hope that
such limited action in that matter as can
be taken by national authorities could be
co-ordinated with action regarding the
many and important subjects upon which
the American people must pass judgment
and which must occupy the attention of
the chief executive in the near future.
These excellent and patriotic people whom
you represent, cannot be less interested
in these other great national questions at
this critical period of our history than
are the great mass of their fellow citizens,
for these questions concern the very
fabric, and form of government as well
as the integrity and efficiency of its adj
miniStration

29th inst, although an added and greatly
valued token of approval and confidence

public service which would be the chief
motive for my resuming official life.

Postpone Sabbath Question

LOUISVILLE, KY, June 28.-The
question of Sabbath observance, which
has for some time been vital one in
the Jewish Reformed church, was be-
fore the central conference of Ameri-
can rabbits for short time today The
merits of Saturday and Sunday serv-
ices were, however, not entered into
because it was decided. that a formal
report had not been received from the
committee on Sabbath. The confer
ence decided to discharge the present
committee and to allow the executive
committee to appoint a new commits
sion on Sabbath observance. This ac-
ton had the effect of leaving the ques-
ton in allegiance until the next annual
conference. The conference also voted
to have a committee compile for in
spection and possible adoption a book
of Seders .Haggadah, or liturgy, to be
used in Jewish homes on the night be-
fore passover.
