Twilight in the Country.
(By Melvin Lien lin THE BUFF AND BLUE
Gallandet College, Washington, D.. CO.

Across the fields the shadows
Come creeping m by one;
Beyond the western meadows
Now sinks the golden sun.
A gentle breeze is signing
Among the tree-tops near
A cat-bird's plaintive crying
The listener may hear.
The sun is lower sinking,
Still denser shadows fall.
Save where the stars are blinking
Soon night envelops all.

SENTENCE COMMITTED.
William January Will Get Out OF
Prison July 10.

Washington, May 8.-Attorney Cen
eral Bonaparte today recommended that
the sentence of John William January,
alias Charles w. Anderson, be commut-
ed. He recommends that the sentence
be fixed at three months from the date
of his rearrest and that he be pardoned
at the end of that time, namely July 10,
1907
The president has approved the attor-
ney generals recommendation.
Kansas City, Mo-, May S.-William
January. alias Charles H Anderson,
whose application for pardon has been
approved by Attorney General Bona
parte was convicted in 1895 of robbing
a building at Saltwater, Okla, that con-
tanned postoffice. He was sentenced
to five years in the federal penitentiary
a FIT. Leavenworth, Kan, from which
institution he escaped after serving
three years. After working through
Kansas first as quarryman and then
as a travelling salesman for tea house,
he came to Kansas City, changed his
name to Anderson and married. He en-
gagged in several kinds of business, final
ly becoming proprietor of restaurant,
and was well respected.
Anderson was rearreSted in Kansas
City April 20 last, through Information
furnished by a former convict who had
known him in prison.. On the day An
derson was returned to the penitentiary
a movement was begun by the Kansas
City newspapers to secure his pardon.
Three days later petitions bearing 10000
names were forwarded to President
Roosevelt. Within another two days
second batch of petitions was sent to
Washington, bringing the total number
of signers to 10000. Many prominent
persons were among those who recon-
mended a pardon.
Anderson has preyit81sly announced
that he would return here and engage
in business and has been promised sup
port from substantial business men. In
anticipation of his release Mrs. Ander-
son and their former neighbors were
busy today preparing a warm home
coming for him. The Andersons have a
three year old girl. -.

MANY DROWN.
The French Steamer Potion
Goes on the Rocks.
Panic Follows Among the 800
Passengers on Board.

Montevideo. May S.-The French
steamer Poitou, from Algiers, is
ashore off San Jose Ignacio. 1t is
feared that there has been serious
loss of life. 1t is understood there
are 800 passengers on board the ves-
sci and that her cargo will prove a
total loss.
The Poitou struck 80 yards from
the shore at a spot called Rincon de
Herrero. Panic broke on board the
vessel when she grounded and a
great number of terrOrized people
jumped overheard. Some of them
swan ashore, but many were drown
ed. Customs officers at Ricon de
HerTero saved SO out of the three
hundred passengers who are said to
have been on board. How many 9TH
ers have been saved is not known.
Several steamers have left here for
the scene of the wreck and the gov
ernment is doing everything possible
to succor the shipwrecked people.

the planet will appear in the zenith.
Mars will be nearer the earth this
summer than it has been in fifteen
years and for this reason astronomers
are making elaborate preparations for
a study of the planet.
Mr.. Gaertner's camera is in the gen.
eral form of a four-foot brass tube.
one end fitted to be clamped to the
end of an 18-inch telescope and the
other containing a shutter and plate
holder. The main tube is in two parts
the one telescoped into the other and
adjusted with a device for slow focus
ing.
The unusual features of the apparatus
are a peculiar arrangement of the plate
holder by which large number of sx-
posureS may De taken on one plate and
conclave lens which enlarges the
image on the plate instead of diminish

camera.
By pressing on pneumatic bulb the

each exposure showing a different phase
of the planet. On account of the diff
