Deep on the convent roof the

Are sparkling to the moon;
My breath to heaven like vapor
goes;
May my soul follow soon!
The shadows of the convent
towers
Slant down the snowy sward.
Still creeping with the creep
ing hours
That lead me to my Lord;
Make thou my spirit pure and
clear
AS are the frosty skies.
Or this first snowdrop of the
Il year
That 10 my bosom lies.
AS these white robes are solid
and dark,
To yopder shining ground;
AS this pale taper's earthly
spark,
To youder argent round;
So shows my soul before the
lamb.
My spirit before thee;
So in mine earthly house / am,
To that hope to be.
Break up the heavens, o Lord!

Thro' all yon starlight keen
Draw me, thy bride, a glittering
star,
In raimenr white and clean.
He lifts me to the golden doors;
The flashes come and go;
All heaven bursts her starry
floors,
And strews her lights below,
And deepeus on and up! the
gates
Roll back and far within
For me the heavenly bride.
groom waits,
TO make me pure OF sin.
The sabbaths of eternity,
One sabbath deep and wide
A light upon the shining sea-
The bridegroom with his

PRESIDENT TILLMANS TALK
T ittla Rock Dac 20 Tho .

Little Rock, Dec. 80. The ad-
dress of President Tillman of the
University of Ark ansas on
What Part Shall the Arkansas
Teachers Take in the Coming
Fight Against the Saloon" held
the closest attention of the Ark
ansas Teachers Association last
night and was interrupted by
frequent bursts of applaus.
President Tillman began his
address by saying that whatever
pertained to the home pertained
to the teacher, for the teacher is
called upon to assume many of
the responsibilities of parents in
the control and training of child
ren. In speaking of the influence
the teacher could WELD, he sain:
IF the teachers of Arkansas
line up on the right side in this
fight, statewide prohibition will
win"
He then referred to the recent
defeat of the statewide prohibi.
ton in Tennessee, and in refer
ring to the killing of former Sem
ator Carmack, said he believed
the cause of the liquor element
went up in smoke from the re-
volver of Carmack's slayer.
Il believe the death of Sena-
tor Carmack will put prohibition
on the statutes of Tennessee, "
President Tillman declared.
In closing his address, Presi-
nent Tillman urged the teachers
to take a stand on the liquor
question. saying the world has
no respect for the man of no
opinion who refused to take a
stand on one side of any impor-
tant question.
Get on one side or the other
of this great question. It's the
biggest question before the ma
ton today"

NEW YORK STORE, L. Suckle, Prop.

Arkansas last January. For
months special posses and officers
searched throughout the State
for the negro. At several differ
times it was reported by officers
in different parts of the State
and in adjoining states that
Green had beeu captured, but on
investigation it was found that
the negro held was not the one
wanted.
If the negro held at Leehigh is
Green, it is probable that he will
be kept at some other point for
safekeeping, as it is feared an
attempt might be made to lynch
him. Hamilton was one of the
most popular officers and his
slayer would without doubt have
been lynchedhad he been caught
soon after the killing.

Dead In Messina Counted
BY Tens of Thousands.
Towns Obliterated.
FLOOD! FIREI EARTHQUAkE!I!
The Most Appalling of All
Modern Disasters.

Rome, Dec. 90. One hundred
thousand dead; Messina in Sicily
and Reggie and a score of lother
towns in Southern Italy over
whelmed the entire Calabrian
region laid waste, This is the
earthquakes record so far as is
at present known from the re-
ports lhat are coming slowly in
to Rome, on account of the al
most complete destruction of the
lines of communication.
The death list in Messina is
from 1900 to $4,000; Reggie,
which with its adjacent villages,
numbers 45, 1000 people, includes
almost the entire population. At
Palmi LOCO are reported dead; at
Cassano 1000; at Cosenza 500,
and half the population of Bag
nara, about 1900. The Monte
Leon region has been devastated
and Riposto, Seminria, San Gio-
wanna, Scilla, Lazarro and Can
nitello and all other communes
and villages bordering on the
straits is in ruins.
The king and queen of Italy
arc now on the way to Messinna
having sailedtonight from Nap
les aboard the battleship Vittor-
10 Emmanuel. The pope has
shown the greatest distress at
the calamity and he was the first
himself to contribute, a sum of
100000 to the relief. French,
British and Russian warships
are steaming toward the South
and some have already reached
Sicily.
1t is feared that many foreign
ers have been killed as a number
of hotelf at Messina and other
places weIe crowded with tour
lists. Little is known of the di-
plomatic representatives of the
foreign countries stutioned at
these posts, although the Italian
government is using every EFFORT
to relieve the anxiety felt on
their account.
Latest reports say that 1000
soldiers stationed at Messina are
buried beneath the ruins.
The Rock of Charybdis now
blocks the entrance fo the Strait
of Messina and the light house
in the strait is wrecked.
Reports say that the geogra-
ply of the Strait of Messina has
been so changed as to cause ap.
prehension of serious commercial
and strategic difficulties. 1t is
believed that navigation has be-
come extremely dangerous. in
which case the Notifications on
which the government has spent
large sums, will be useless. The
famous whirlpool of Charybdis
has shifted its position.
Stunned at the magnitude of
the calamity which has overtak-
en- fellew countrymen. all Italy
mourns tonight for the stricken
province Of Calabria and the Is
land Of Sicily, Accustomed for
centuries to earthquakes, Italy
stands ever in dread. But none
were prepared for the disaster
which in fraction of a minute,
devastated cities and towns and
caused the death of thousands.
Messina was the center of the
earthquake, and to complete the
city's destruction flames burst
forth and burned alive untold
numbers, helplessly pinioned be-

The Straits of Messina sswere

for some time had harrassed a

.THAW'S QUICK TRIAL
HASTE IS FEATURE OF THE PREs-
 ENT CASE.
paunatch Marking HearinG Which Last Year Consumed Twelve Weeks
 Ia N0tmble~-FOr Last of This VNeaksa ProeeedSnga.


 New York. Jany. 26.-The Thaw trial tomorrow enters upon its fourth and possibly the last week. The despatch with which the present hearing has moved as compared to the trial of wear ago, which stretched over a period of twelve weeks. is little short of re- markable.
 The defense has another day of evl- dnce to offer and the state should have its rebuttal evidence before the jury by Thursday night. District Attorney Jerome has assumed something of an air of mystery as to the scope of the testimony he will offer in rebuttal of the showing of insanity made by the refense. but 1t is said he will make an effort to bring up in court some of the secret records of the commission in lunacy which inquired into Thaw's con- dition last. March and which pronounce ed him incapable of intelligently advis- ing with his counsel. The records of the commission were sealed by order of Justice Fitzgerald who appointed the board solely for the purpose of ad- vising the Court as to Thaw's mental condition and this fact may prove a stumbling block to the district attor- ney's plans. -s
 The defense will offer tomorrow the three physicians and the trained nurse who arrived on the Adriatic Saturday morning to testify as to alleged ir- rational outbreaks by Thaw in Europe some ten years ago. Then will follow the testimony of Dr. Bingamon. the Thaw family physician, in Pittsburg. and lastly, three experts will be placed on the stand to answer a hypothetical question. When their cross-examina- ton Is done, the defense will rest.
