An English Sparrow.

My lungs are sound, my heart beats quick,
And all the world seems jolly;
My health is fine; I'm never sick,
To die would be great folly.
Pray let me live and stay with you,
And be your friend forever;
No other bird is quite 50 true,
And few indeed 80 clever.
When winter comes. the robin goes
And leaves us all bewalling;
So too, the hawks, the jays and crows
The fever seems prevailing.
Though winds may blow, and storms
may beat
In ev'ry kind Of weather,
Mid freezing SHOWS and summers heat,
I'm with you still, forever.
l fit about, now here, now there,
And seek an honest living;
bravely face my winter fare,
Nor ever court misgiving.
And once, as bargains used to go,
Three sparrows brought "A penny;
This was two thousand years ago,
And now I'm not worth any
You love me not, as all men know,
Though | forsake you never;
For birds may come, and birds may go,
But stay on forever.
"Your dress is poor, you cannot sing,
| Your voice is but twitter;
We like to hear the welkin ring,
To die, for you, were filter"
Well, you talk as one that twittest,
For It's plain as plain can be,
"The survival of the fittest"
Is the fittest song for me.
l scorn vain and empty show,
My dress was made for wearing;
And why so made, l do not know,
Nor am | now much caring.
Yours is a wrongful way to live
With children few, if any;
So thinks our Chief Executive,
Hence we have children many.
We love this land, and rear our young
With feelings strong and tender:
And though our deeds remain unsung,
We never will surrender.
You fight sometimes in cause of right,
Perchance for greed or glory;
l also fight with all my might
Dead lie my foes, all CORY.
This may be wrong for you and me,
Indeed, it is most shocking;
But by this way, as you must see,
Sweet peace stands near by, knocking
Pray do not hate me, hate me 80,
And seek loves cords to sever
For birds may come, and birds may go
But I'll stay on forever

TREATY GOES OVER
Objection in Senate to Convention
With Portugal

An extradition treaty between the
United States and Portugal was the sub
ject OF nearly three hours debate in ex-
ecutive session of the Senate yesterday
afternoon. the discussion finally turning
on the question of states rights. There
Is a provision in the treaty which stipu-
Iates that a criminal extradited from
Portugal shall not be subjected to capital
punishment.
Senator Teller raised the point that to
ratify treaty with such a provision
would be TO say to q state that man
guilty of first degree murder should not
be executed IL such man had taken refuge
in Portuguese territory and later was
surrendered to the United States under
the treaty. Other senator's on the demo-
cratic side took the same stand. Several
republican senator's likewise were dis
posed to criticise the phraseolosy of the
convention.
1t was pointed cut that Portugal need
not be concerned over the question of Sc
curing Justice for criminal whose
crime was committed in this country. es-
pecially as no treaty provides for the ex-
tradition of person because of a DO
litical offense. The treaty went over.
A naturalization treaty with Portugal
was ratified.

VIRGINIA DEMOCRATS
PLANS FOR THE STATE CoNVEN-
TON AT ROANOKE, JUNE IL.
Special Correspondence OF Tie Star.


RICHMOND. Va May II, 1905.
Richard E. Byrd of Winchester is to be
the temporary chairman of the demo-
cratic state convention at Roanoke That
is what the wise ones are saying today in
connection with the assembling of the
delegates of the dominant party in that
city June IL. 1t is also said that there
is likely to be a change this year in the
procedure of the convention. For many
years past the state conventions have
chosen temporary officers. and the chair
man has had chance to speak his views.
but when the permanent chairman is
elected the convention proceeds to bust
ness and there is no chance for the sec
ond speech. This time there seems to be
a disposition to get down to business and
to make the session as brief possible
With this in view. the belief is that the
selection of a temporary officer will mean
that the choice of the committee will be
ratified and made permanent to prevent
long waits. possible wranglings and to
facilitate matters. State Chairman Ely
son will call the body to order at noon,
and the report of the committee for tenn
porary officers will be made. Mr.. Byrd
will then make his speech, the commit
tees win be appointed and the work of
the convention will be rushed. The district
committees will meet In the forenoon of
the day and will name all the members
of the several standing committees.
The general belief is that the primary
plan will be made the object of a bitter
attack 1t remains to be seen If 1t is re-
pealed. There are some Of the best known
men in the party who are standing for a
straight repeal of, the law They contend
that it works too smoothly for the men
who are in office. Only three of the con-
gressmen have fights on their hands-May-
nard, Lassiter and Carin. The others
were declared the nominees of the party
by the district committed. The plan works
beautifully for the men who are in and
it prevents the outs from getting chance
unless he shall put up anywhere from $3N
to $3.50 before he can consider the matter
The Primary Plan.
State Chairman Ellyson was asked what
he thought of the possible action OF the
convention in the matter Of the primary
plan. and he said that he could not tell
