The police have gone into the dope

evaporated from the chiefs private

night at IL o'clock and took in some
more. They visited the dump in the
east end of the Crawford flats on
Fifth street, where a ching deals in

too soon. The man from the Celes-

gracefully from a large pipe which
he was hitting when the police arrived.

i Washington, Sept. 21.-Because it is
believed that foreign governments are
learning entirety too much regarding
the inside workings of the American
navy and are picking from the annual
reports of the bureau chiefs too much
information which should be of a con-
fidential character, a change will be
made this year in the preparation of
the annual reports and much that
hitherto has been included in these
reports will be omitted. 1t is also di-
rected to omit the unrevised estimates
of the bureau chiefs.

SNAPSHOTS ATHOME NEWS.

Seated one day at the organ,
I was weary and i'll at ease,
And my fingers wandered idly
Over the noisy keys.
I do not know what l was playing,
Or what l was dreaming then,
But 1 struck one chord OF music,
Like the sound of a great amen.
1t flooded the crimson twilight.
Like the close of an angels palm,
And it lay on my fevered spirit
With touch of infinite calm.
1t quoted pain and sorrow
Like love overcoming strife;
1t seemed the harmonious echo
From our discordant life.
1t linked all perp1exed meanings
Into one perfect peace,
And Irembled away into silence
AS if it were 10th to cease.
I have sought, but 1 seek it vainly,
That one lost chord divine.
Which came from the soul of the organ,
And entered into mine.
1t may be that Deaths bright angel
Will speak in that chord again,
1t may be that only in heaven
