A LOST SOIL.

His race is run, what has he done
To set his soul awning?
Here's cause to sigh, to see it die,
A poor, pin-feathered thing.
Besmirched by lust, blinking in dust
After LIES sensual revel,
Then comes along, humming song
And picks it up, the Devil.

The coal operators of Pennsyl-

The coal operators of Pennsyl- vania have learned one important lesson since the strike three years ago, says Southern exchange. At that time they were very reticent. They never had anything for publi- cation when the reporters were around and left the newspaper men to get their information as best they could. The representatives of the strikers were very much more sensi- ble and did not hesitate to give out news from their headquarters as of- ten as the reporters called. It is now announced that the anthracite coal operators have arranged to supply the press with all possible informa- tion. To that end man has been designated with headquarters in New York. to answer all inquiries con- eerning the situation and to supply the press with all matter that it is possible to give out. This is a day of publicity and the press is the means of communication. Whenever any public or quasi-public organization tries to conceal from the people that which the people think they have the right to know. the people grow suspicious and are apt to imagine the worst. It Is always best for cor porations to be frank and open in all their dealings. and SO long as they behave themselves. they need have no fear in taking the public into their confidence.

TRUE STORY TOLD.
MT. Roberts In Congress Asks Justice .t. For SiEsbee.

MT. Roberts In Congress Asks Justice For sigsbee.
 WASHINGTON, May 16.-An echo of the attack made by Representative Hepburn Qa) on what he termed the inefficiency of the navy and during which he blamed Rear Admiral Sigs- bee. then captain, for running the old Maine into a wharf in New York city was heard during the consideration of the naval appropriation bill by the house.
 Mir Roberts (Mass) told how the ac- cident to the Maine had really occur red and his recital of the facts was lis tened to with interest
 bniT The, Maine was sproeeeding slowly sand cautiously down, the East riYer he tween the navy yard and the Brooklyn bridge when suddenly there occurred two collisions between other vessels ahead of the Maine, and these vessels swung across the East river, closing every avenue to the Maine except a small channel on the New York side between the wharf and the vessels  ahead The Maine was pointing fair and could have gone clear, he said. when suddenly an excursion steamer from New Jersey loaded down with women and children appeared in the opening on the wrong side of the river and making the wrong signals with her whistle
 Admiral Sigsbee continues the story:
 Tt became a question of saving the steamer. I made the right signals to warn her and reversed the engines and ran the Maine into the wharf purpose ly to save the steamer. The Maine made no mistake whatever
 A court of inquiry investigated Cap tain Sigsbee's action, which was en- tirely approved. and the then acting secretary of the navy, Theodore Roose- welt. commended the farsightedness and seamanship of Captain Sigsbee in enthusiastic terms, saying that the na- " ought to be proud of having such men in its personnel Mr. Roberts hoped that Mir Hepburn would do jus tice to a splendid naval officer.

The proposal for a jail sentence ol

The proposal for a jail sentence on rebaters is very fierce and drastic on the face of it. says a Washington writer. There is provision for a fine amounting to three times the amount of the rebates paid and a jail sent ence of not less than one nor more than five years. Evidence of the col lection of rebates is to extend back six years from the time of instituting the action. provided of course that the law is not retroactive and does not apply to offences prepetrated before the enactment of the law. However, there is little prospect of either pro vision ever finding it's way into the completed bill and if it does, there will be way found to dodge it. Send ing sure enough rebater to jail would be too bad, for rebaters are the real people.
