Spread rainbow OH the corn.

And the banjo weds the breezes
With softer sweeter strain
Than the troubadours are singing
Mid the olives groves of Spain.
There are many creamy blossoms,
And the crimson beauty steals
AS the SINNER suns are fading
To the snowy cotton fields
Other folks may rove and wander
To the far away cathay,
Seeking blooms and crush the daisies
AS thing TO throw away
But the hooking bird is singing
Better far than nightingale,
Fairy lilies gem the meadows,
Violets are in the vale,
Snowy blooms are on the waters,
Never would l care to roam,
Violets at Christmas blossom,
There are roses nearer home.

In the Glass.

I've thousand pictures painted
Through the drary Aeeting years,
They are hui hearts and feelings,
Human sorrows, human tears.
They are paintings ever changing
Like the pictures in the Goals,
Painted deeply in the sparkele
Of the wine are human souls.
Do you see drunken father
Keeling home with maddened brain
In the wine the pictures showing?
Fading out TO come again
And again-again The picture
Of weeping wife IS shown,
Clad in tatters, hungry, freezing,
Broken hearted all alone.
DO you see the pictures changing?
There are orphans now instead,
Sleeping homeless in the gutter,
Begin, but crust Of bread.
Dying babies, famished children
Come in shadowy design,
Passing human hearts are pictured
In the rudy glass Of wine.
Do YOU see a finger tracing
In its capitals of fame
"YoU VIZ A BALLOT TAKE AND USE II
LEST YOU Be ALIKE TO BLAME?
For million dollar profit
Would ye license grief and strife
Could We build your SCHOOL in HONOR
II it took a ia theirs life9
We are paying price for our profits,
And tie loss il is greater han gain,
On the swords the blood of brother
And the blaze it is thirsty again,
And the evils we suffer to Others
Will return as the future-shall come

Though the year, in the end comet

Nothing i'm Ten Days.
(By the Associated Press.f

(By the Associated Press.T
st. Petersburg, May 23.-The Asso-
ciated Press was informed at the Ad-
miraIty today that no direct advices
have been received from Vice Admiral
Rojestvensky for ten days when it is
believed he set out on his long voy-
age The report of Rojestyensky's
death was ridiculed at the Admiralty.
The sending of Vice Admiral Biri-
left to Vladivostock, it is now ex-
planned, is a natural precautionary
measure for the purpose of having an
energetic commander at Vladivostock
to replace Rojestvensky in the event
that the latter is killed or disabled
during the coming sea fight, no doubt
being entertained that if the fleets
come together Admiral Togo's vessels
will concentrate their fire on the Rus
sian flagship. Should Rojestvensl6y
come out of the fight victorious and
enjoying fair health it is considered
the foregone conclusion that he will
be rewarded by appointment to the
supreme command.

OFFICERS ARE INDICTED.
Sensational Reports of Corruption
Shielded by the Police.
(Bv the Associated Press. )

New Orleans, La, May 23.-The
grand jury presented indictments
against two commanding officers of the
police department today in connection
with a sensational report of the exist
ence of corruption on grand scale
nithe police and detective depart
ments. The jury declares that lottery
shops and gambling exist with little
interruption on the part Of the police
and that the Sunday law is openly vio-
lated These violations of the law are
possible, it declares, because the po-
lice are in receipt of corrupt money
to permit them.
The condition of both departments
of the police is declared to be deplor-
able and Inspector Journee is arraign-
ed as utterly incompetent. The diff
Guilty the jury had had in getting evil
dence. it is explained, is due to the fact
that unfaithful members of the force
continue to hold their offices and re-
fuse to give each other away. Com
pie reorganization of the force is de-
manded with an Inspector not connect
cd with the present department. The
indictments are against Captain Fran
els Cologue and Corporal James Quinn,
for receiving brides to let gambling
houses run.

NO HOPE OF PEACE
Open War is the Pros
peCt at Chicago.
Refusal OfExpress Companies to Rein
state the Striking Drivers Snaps
the Thread Of NegOtia-
lions.
(By the Associated Press

Chicago, May 23.-All prospects Of
peace in the teamsters strike have dis
appeared and it will be open war from
this time on. The last conference
looking toward peaceable adjustment
was held tonight between James 3.
Barry. business agent for the express
drivers union and the local managers
of the seven express companies. The
conversation was brief and pointed.
Business Agent Barry opened the he
gotiations by saying:
"Our position is this: | want all the
men re-instated except those who have
been guilty of violence. / cannot do
anything different That is what the
local union wants and that is what the
local officers have told me to demand.
That is all / can do. The men told
me they all want to go back in body
or they won't go back at all. That is
the position of the union and the union
officials
The reply of the representatives of
the express com ranies was brief 1t
was:
"Our opposition to the re-instate-
ment of the men Will be the same four
years from now. as it is today. We Will
not take them back under any cir
CuInSLdnceS.
This brought the conference to a
close, and all parties concerned in 1t
left the city hall.
The spread of the strike today was
not as large as was ANTICIPATED. Four
hundred and sixtv-two drivers en-
ployed by % fitzss belonging to the
Lumbermen' Association went out
today. In each case the men were
ordered to make deliveries to boy
cotted houses and the usual strike fol-
lowed other firms to the number OF
SIS belonging to the Lumbermen's EX-
change will make similar requests of
their men tomorrow and by night 1t Is
expected that the full number of 2,0OO
drivers employed by these lumber
concerns will be on strike.
A meeting of the United Employers
Association Of Wood Industries which
is composed of five associations en-
bracing 1876 firms owning lumber
Yards. planning mills, sash and door
factories. etc. was held today and 1t
was decided to call upon their drivers
to make deliveries. This will force
Que 1900 additional men.
The possibilities for increased riot
ing are vastly enlarged by the spread
of the strike to the lumber district. t
is a-district noted for the fierce mobs
which have marched through it during
former strikes and is the place which
has invariably caused more trouble
than any other part of the city.

STICK AND STUCK
Raleigh Alderman Dead
lock in Caucus on
City Attorney.

The various aldermen of Raleigh
stick to their caucus choice for City
Attorney and the Aldermanic caucus
wagon is stuck in the mud.
Last night for some three hours the
eight "City Dads" voted and voted,
and then voted some more, to see if
they could name a City Attorney, but
they failed in this. %"
Some say 800 ballots were taken
and others so. 1t seems to be that
some rs or so were taken, and that
there was much discussion. Mayor
Johnson attended for awhile, went out
into the cool air and had fountain
drink, and then went back again. ex-
pecting that it might be four to four
and that his vote would be needed to
unlock the deadlock But it was not.
The ballots of last night told the
same old story Of Snow and Watson as
leaders. with T. S. Fuller, Murray Al
len. r. N. Simms and w. N. Jones.
The four votes for Snow never flick
cred, but hung on grim as death.
Watson would get three and then two.
Simms would get one and then TWO.
Then in would drop vote for L. ,.
Fuller while w. N. Jones name was
also on the tally sheet. Murray AL
lent got two votes at times, but it was
ALWAYS "Snow four"
1t is understood that as heretofore
the Simms one solid was from Alder
man w. A. Cooper while Watson's
| three are Aldermen Lee, Rogers and
Upchurch, and the Snow vote was
Boylan, Jackson, Grimes and Harden
The caucus, after eleven o'clock,
gave up in disgust and adjourned u
meet again on the 18th of June, when
again ballots will be cast and tht
county of noses be proceeded with.
