SUMMER

No more at early morning
We build the rousing IRE,
Now morn and noon and nighttime
All mankind doth perspire.
Now doth the bride stand smiling
Midst Junetimess rare perfume
And give ten thoughts to bridal dress
And one thought TO the groom.
And now bad language rights US.
Alas, and yet alacki
For now the fat mans undershirt
Goes crawling up his back.

WHY NOT OsTRACIZE THEM?


The great remedy for public wrongs
is a healthy public sentiment aroused
and pronounced. When grafters and
bribe-takers find that by grating and
bribe-t taking and embezzling money
and abusing trusts they are FORGETTING
their position IN society and the re-
spect of their fellow citizens. this is a
most powerful restraining influence.
It is sometimes more powerful than
prosecutions and one element is the
regard that even the worst of men
generally have for their families No
man wants his children pointed at and
avoided; no man wants his wife shup-
ned by her neighbors- The tendency
in this country has doubtless been to
hold the wealthy as superior to the
law. If man has millions 1t has
been supposed that he could take lib
critics with the law which poor man
could not take with impunity.
There are times when particular
evils become more than usually viru-
lent and then public sentiment pos
sibly goes to an extreme Of Indignation
It is sometimes described as Mysteries,
but 1t is a wholesome manifestation of
displeasure which usually accomplish
es its purpose In the meantime peo-
pie should not lose faith in their free
Institutions, because they are reason
ably safe. Meth err should we lose faith
in our fellow men.=Baltimor Sun.

Story OF the wreck.

The Valencia sailed from San Fran
cisco on her second trip to Victoria, re-
placing the recently disabled steamer
City of Puebla, at II q. m. on Satur-
day. This was the only clear day, and
from Saturday evening Capt Johnson
and his officers had to navigate by
dead reckoning. Nearing the entrance
to the straits the weather was very
thick. and the officers thought they
were in the vicinity Of the Umatilla
Reef nghtshlp near Cape Flattary,
which has good fog signal On board.
Having made no observations, and
unable to make cut their position In
the thick weather, prevailing sound
ings were taken, showing 80 fsthoms.
Immediately after the men with tho
lead lines reported 30 fathoms OF wa
ter tho steamer struck heavily against
some reefs off shore with q shock that
awoke all on board.
The steamer did not run up on the
reef. and was Immediately backed
away. As she went into deep water
she began to fill, the impact with the
rock having greatly damaged the
steamer. The engineers whistied to
the bridge that water was pouring
up over the engine-room plates, and
they and the fremen were driven %
deck. but before they were driven out
In answer to excited jlngles from the
bridge they gave what speed was pos
sible, and Capt johnson turned the
vessel again toward the beach. The
only possible chance to save any %
those on board was to put the vesse
ashore again, with the hope, scan
though 1t was, Of landing those on
board on the rocky coast.
Before she struck again on the rocks
the engineers, firemen and all below
had been driven above by the inrusl
OF water, and the seas soon began b
roll over the main deck. Water wa
over the deck when the boats were be
ing lowered, the light being extin
guished BY the flooding Of the engin
/ room bafore the work was commenced
The loss Of life was awful when tn

with women and children were swep

POLO MAGNATEs MEET.

| Meriden. Dec 24.-At a special meeting of the officers and managers of the Connecticut Roller Polo league. held here yesterday after noon. the final arrangements for the opening of the season were com pleted. The games will start on the evening of December 31 and the last contest will be played on April 6. Secretary William Peet of New Ha- ven Is to assign the referees and no referee will be allowed to ofilciate at a game in his home city. From a long list of applications Secretary Peet has picked the following for ref erees: Hugh rtorty of Hartford, Wil- liam T. Lush of New Haven and K. II. Dreuhl of Waterbury Republican.
 The referees are to have uniforms for their position. They will wear a small cap, blue shirt and white ten his shoes. The official timers were chosen as follows: E. l.. Maloney of the Waterbury Democrat, John O'Neil of the New Britain Herald, J. w. Pine of the Hartford Sunday Globe. w. B. Gilbert of Wallingford, William Aufort of New Haven. The schedule will be arranged at the meeting which will be called by the president.
 The Hartford Sunday Globe has of fered silver loving cup as trophy for the winning team.
 P. F. McMahon and Richard Halli- we'll made fight for Warner, who was awarded to Wa.lingford on last Sunday. They had booked him for the All Waterbury team when the league was first talked of and they were unwilling to give him up. Sat isfactory arrangements were made with the Wallingford manager for his release.
 In addition to the cities that have entered clubs in the league. it was expected that both Springfield and Bridgeport would make formal appli- cation for franchises at yesterdays meeting. Nothing was heard from the Springfield polo enthusiasts. but Birgeport representatives were pres ent and Secretary Peet will make ar- engagements for club from that city to enter the league. All the players on the teams are Connecticut men. A new player will be added to the Waterbury team, as 1t was decided to transfer Frank Warner of the Wal lingford team to the Brass city.
