The End.
A little while and all is ended
The Life we live-and Death-are
blended!
Our hate and love. on cycles waning,
But follow on where Fate Is reigning.
Our striving, straining, laughing, weep
ing
Complete, will find a kindred reaping!
The gold we won or treasure hidden,
The love we gained or love unbidden,
Our failure or success are blended
And all Is naught when Life Is ended!
Before we came the world was throbbing,
Was filled with laughter and with sob
bing
Was warm with hope and love and glad
ness,
With human woes and human sadness!
And then we came to test the battle
And try Its valor with our rattle
And after us still will be ringing
The changes that the years are bringing!
But always Life and Death are blended
A little while and all is ended
A skull and cross-bones and a wreath,
A Bible, resting underneath
And under all the line obtuse
That bluntly questions: WHATS THE
USE?'

The New YOkr Guard

Assemblyman Cuvilli,r of New York city has introduced resolution In the State Legislature, which calls for an investigation of affairs of the New York National Guard. This resolution calls for a commit se of th'ee mem bers of the Senate and dn equal num- Der from the Assembly.

Cincinnati, March 4.-The National Baseball Commission today announced their decisions in four cases brought by different clubs and acted upon several players applications for reinstate- ment."
 In the application of the Western League for permission to draft the city of Topeka from the Western As- soctatiou which is in . lower class in which the Commission had been asked to make a ruling as to their jurisdic- ton in the matter, the Commission de- clined to pass upon the question of ju- risdiction at the present time. But the Commission was of the unanimous opin- ion that the cause of complaint (being Section 4 of Article 27) was bad in it's effect and requested that the National Board take the matter up at once to ob- viate any necessity for the Commission to take any further action
 The application of the Birmingham Club for a re-hearing in the case of payment of Moore's salary was denied.
 The applications for reinstatement of players Broderick, Unglaub and Corrl don were granted with the provision that each pay a fine or S200.

ago-in two-thirds of the cases some years ago--tn the exercise of the duty imposed upon me by act of Congress of March 8, 1891. The utmost care and deliberation have been exercised in deciding upon the boundaries of the proposed reserves in all but a very few cases long continued and detailed the remaining examinations sufficient ly to justify the proposed action.
 The necessary proceedings under ex- isting law committees comes before me and Nthe question is presented whether I should refrain from acting under the existing law because there Is now under consideration by Con- gress of a proposal to change the law so as to require Congressional action before the establishing of such forest reserves.
 If I did not act, reserves which l consider very important for the fnter- ests of the United States would be wholly or in part dissipated befoI g Congress has an opportunity again to consider the matter; while under the action which l propose to take they will be preserved; and if Congress differs from me In this action it will have full opportunity in the future to take such position as 1t may deserve anent the discontinuance uf the re- serves, by affirmative action, taken with the fullest opportunity for con siderinR the subject by itself and on it's own merits.

 Failure on my part to sign these proclamations would mean that im- mense tracts of valuable timber would fall into the hands of the. lumber syndicates before Congress has an op- portunity to ect. whereas the creation of the reserves means that tiIis tinl- Der will be kept in the interest of the bomemaker; for our entire purpose in this forest reserve policy Is to keep the land for the beneSt of the actual settlers and homemakers to further his intersts in every way and while using the natural resources of the country for the benefit of the present generation. also to use them in such

BAKERY BURNED OUT
ESTABLISHMENT or JAMES TooIE
 ON FIRE.
Heavy Volume of Smoke Wakens Guests fn Exchange Hotel Two Blocks Away--OriRin
 Mystery.

A fire, which called out the fire de-
 partment at 3:4s o'clock yesterday
 morning, did damage to the bakery es-
 tablishment of James Toole, at the
 northeast corner of Madison Avenue
 and North Court Street, variously esti-
 mated at from $4.oo0 or s5.ooo to ss,0Oo
 or s10,000. Mir. Toole estimates his
 loss as in the neighborhood of ss, 900 {.
 It Is fully covered by insurance.
 A dense volume of smoke was pour
 ing from the two-story brick building owned and occupied by Mir. Toole, when
 1t was discovered and a fire alarm turned in by a passerby. The smoke was pouring from the building to such
 an extent that 1t entered the rooms of
 guests at the Exchange Hotel. two
 blocks away, and aroused them from their s1umber.
 The windows of the building were all closed. and the fire had no oppor-
 tunity to break into blaze until after the department had crossed the street from the central station and had broken in the windows. Then there was some
 blaze, but 1t was still small, in com
 parison with the large volume of dense
 smoke that continued to pour from the
 structure,
 Much of the damage to the building
 and contents Is from smoke and water the flames never having made much
 headway. It WAS a difficult fire for
 the department to light. because the building was so filled with smoke Altogether, Mir. Toole estimates that the contents of the building will show q loss, when the insurance adjusters get here of perhaps s7,5o0. while the building, the interior woodwork of which was ruined, is damaged perhaps Sl 500. This estimate does not include tho estimate of loss upon the bake oven, which was not insured. It was | damaged, he thinks perhaps s400 or | $500.
 | The origin of the fire is something of mystery. MT. Toole thinks 1t may have started from the oven, which. he ! says, was considerably damaged. The firemen say the starting point was ap- parently about midway of the build | ing. They offer faa explanation of how it started Mr. Toole says there had been no fire under the oven. nor had anyone been at work In the building since Saturday night. and the fire may have. been smouldering for many hours before 1t was discovered. This Is the fourth time within the past ten years the fire department has particular corner; the last three times
 during a period of the past four and a | half years, the fire has been in ths brick structure that stands on the iot at the present time, and each time the 1 circumstances of the discovery. the | proportion of damage and the genera l character of the confagration have I been very similar.

The facts on which the sketch of the life of Speaker W. L. Martin was writ ten and published in The Advertiser yesterday, and on which every sketch of the distinguished Alabamian was written were set down in outline by Mir Martin a few weeks before his death at the request of Director Thomas NJ owen, Director of the State Department of Archives and History.
 Next to his conscientiousness, Mir. Martins prominent characteristic was his modesty. There was no com plete sketch of his life extant, and with some reluctance he agreed to the request of Director owen to answer number of questions. as the basis of a sketch, which would be filed away in the department with the biographical material of other prominent Alabam- ians. The questions were answered by

 While the answers to the questions on the blank are explicit, it is easily seen they were hurriedly written. One of the printed questions on the blank was this;
