NY eyes are dim.
NY heart Is faint, my hair Is white;
No new moon gilds the cypress LIMB
As on that sammer night
But a disk wan
And sere and old.
Scroll OF cold fires that had Their

As ancient palimpsests unrolled,
Hold faded hints of passion.
[ am grown old,
But not with days.
Not ages frost has touched my hair,
For she hath aged whose feet the ways
Have trod of hopes despair!
OF loves decay.
OF hearts deSDite.
OF laughter lost in some lost even
Who chose her husks for souls de

The excellence of European roads
built under military authority. With
special reference TO the exigencfes of
military operations. has served greatly
the convenience of cyclists and auto
mobi1ists. There are few military
roads, in the United States. burt the
Postoffce Department is improving
many country roads, and its power to
improve them further has been shown
in a suggestion made by Postmaster
General COrtelyou in his report, as
follows:
1.-The requirement precedent to the es.
adjustment of ruraf delivery shall be
a possible patronage OF 100 families on
a standard route Of tw~enty<four miles:
that the roads be, kept in good condi.
ton. unobstructed by gates, and with
all streams fordable at all seasons OF
the year"
1t is a familiar saying that "what
Uncle Sam dees is wen done" The
demand by the Postofhce Department
as a requirement for rural free de1fv.
| cry that 3O.eO0 roads shall be kept in
| good condition is coupled with the con
| dition that If these roads fall below the
| required standard the delivery Of let

| The adoption of such a policy would

SHOT BY NEGRO

Ell RENO. Okla. Dec. 21.-Captain
Edgar b. Macklin of Company c,
Twenty-f7fth United States Infantry,

wounded tonight by negro, and be-
lief is expressed here that the negro

VILE, Texas. Bloodhounds will be
brought. here from Oklahoma City to
track the assassin.
The shooting occurred at the officers

lin and his wife were seated at the

gain entrance at the front door Cap
tain Macklin asked who is there?"
The reply came, Il have a message
for YOU"
Come around to the back door," said
Captain Macklin.
A negro, part OF MS lace covered by
mask, entered with the command:
Throw up your hands and give me all
the money you've got
without giving Capatin Macklin
time to reply he fired twice and then
fed into the darkness. One bullet en-
tered Captain Macklin's abdomen and
the other struck him in the jaw. The
surgeon says that while his wounds
are dangerous. they are not necessar-
lily fatal.
Captain Macklin is about thirty years
old and is son of Colonel Macklin,
who recently was retired with the pay
of a brigadier general.
On December IA the Secretary Of
War, upon recommendation of the gem
eral staff. ordered the trial by court
martial of Captain Macklin under the

duct to the prejudice of good order
and discipline" in failing to exercise
due diligence in preventing the rioting
at Brownsville last August.

church at Baiderstock, where President
Roosevelt's maternal ancestors. the
Stobos and Bullocks. worshiped in by

leading to a loft and watch towers,
in which guards were posted to watch
over the dead in the resurrectionist
times.

hope for the life of the young criminal.
Judge Cook will impose the death
sentence on young Dabner Monday
morning. Reluctantly granting post
ponement of the painful sduty yester-
day morning, the court made it plain
there was but one thing for him to
do and that on Monday he would send
the boy. who stood unmoved before
him, to the gallows.
In last despairing effort to save
their wayward son from the hang

mother appeared in court yesterday
morning. accompanied by Attorney G.
P. Hall of Petaluma. The postpone

granted by the court and with the con-
sent of the State in recognition of the
attorneys plea that he had had no
time in which to 5familiarize himself
with the case. The court emphatically
denied the. request for postponement
of two weeks or even one week and
his reply to the petition of the attor-
ney left no room for doubt that tho
sentence will be death.

1t was then that Attorney Hall in

Not a muscle OF young Dabners face

C0mr. Ellison Says II Can't Run Trains
Here by Overhead Trolley.

Commissioner Ellison OF the Depart
ment Of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity
has declined to issue permits to the. New
York Central to place overhead the feed
wires for the running OF its trains within
the city limits. One Of the improvements
the company is making is the electrifying
OF it's road between the Grand Central
terminal and Peekshill. The plans were
approved by the city authorities in Mayor
Lows administration, and under the terms
Of this sanction the officials OF the COM
pany thought they had the right to string
wires as they thought NJ.
Mr.. Ellison thinks otherwise, He oon-
tends that as the trains cross at grade some
Of the roads in the city he has jurisdiction
to prevent the carrying OF wires above
ground and insists that the wires must
be put in underground oonduits in the city
limits.
If it should be found that Mr.. Ellison
lie within his powers the company will be
a lot Of money out Of pocket. 1t has already
erected a large number Of steel poles Of
lattice design to support the wires and for
a length of about two miles has made the
concrete foundation for other poles. All
this work had been done by the company
on the understanding that permits were
not required for the stretching Of overhead
wires on its own right Of way.

ARCHBISHOP IRELAND'S TASK.
To Consult the Vatican on Philippine Church
Affairs, Rome Hears.
Special Gable Despatch TO THH SUN.

Special Gable Despatch 10 THH SUN.
ROME, March cit is stated here that
Archbishop Ireland has been intrustea
with the mission of settling the Philippine
question as between the United States and
the Vatican, especially with regard TO the
payment Of indemnity for Church prop
erty. No audience with the Pope has been
granted him yet. He has had conferences
with many Cardinals connected with the
Congregation of the Propa ganda, notably
with Cardinal Vannutelli.
The Osserpatore Romano, organ Of the
Vatican, denies that the Pope has received
81, 900, 600 as compensation for the expro-
priation Of the property OF the Church in
the Philippine islands.
WASHINGTON, March 2o.-There are still
several questions pending between the
United States and the Catholic Church in
the Philippines, but all are Of a minor char
acter. Archbishop Ireland, 1t is said here I,
is probably consulting with the Vatican
concerning them. 1t canno be learned
that he has been vested with any particular
authority to present this Governments
side OF the case, as that is properly one Of
the duties Of the American Embassy at
Rome.
In some OF the remote parishes in he
islands a number Of the Catholic churches
nave fallen into the hands Of the Indepen-
dent Filipino Church and the restoration Of
these TO the Catholics is one Of the matters
to be decided. Another question involves
four hospitals and medical schools, which
were abandoned in war times by the friars
They were taken over by the Government
and when peace came again the friars
wanted their property back. Some time
ago the Philippines Commission passed a
bill directing the Supreme Court of the
islands to look into the question and to
decide whether the property should be
turned back to the Church.
