''The dream is o'er we did not deem, Dear Love, the stars would fade, We did not deem twas but dream Of youth all undismayed Look where adown the saffron west Day leads her royal train; Within mine arms, upon my breast. Come, Love, and dream again."

Treaty.
MOBILIZATION RUM0RED

Vienna, March l6--The reply Of Ser
via to the Austro- Hungarian note Of
March Q, referring the government to
Servia's previous communication to the
powers, has tendency TO heighten the
fever Of the war party in the dual mon.
archy. The Bourse showed wcaknessse
on the publication of Servia's answer,
and there are rumors that the Austro.
Hungarian reply possibly may be the is
suance Of orders for partial irobiliza.
tion. 1t is even said that the necessary
proclamations already are in the hands
Of the printers. Diplomats in Vienna,
however. still believe that the govern
ment win resist the agitation of the war
party, and it is asserted that Emperor
Francis Joseph personally has thrown
himself into the breach with the inten.
ton Of finding peaceful way out Of
the deadlock.

austrian PATIENCE STRAINED
Berlin officials Grow Very PesSimistic,
Over Settlement.

Berlin, March lett is believed in Off
cial circles that the prospects Of peace
full settlement Of the conflict between
Austria Hungary and Servia have been
reduced to q minimum, and persons well
informed of the progress of events de.
clare that the patience of Austria. Hun
gary has been put to a renewed and
heavy test. The exit from the present
situation cannot for the moment be fore
seen. A semi-ofFicial note issued in Ber-
lin declares that if the efforts of Baron
Van Aehrenthal, the Austro- Hungarian
minister of foreign affairs, are unsuceess-
full, he viii have the satisfaction of
having offered every opportunity for
peaceful conclusion Of the difficulty.
Should Servia's outward assertions OF
peace and the accompanying warlike
preparations continue, the whole respon-
sibility must fan on her shoulders.
Austria Hungary would be obliged to
break of diplomatic relations, in whics,
event, war, in all probability, would
follow.

Enters Dark Station Where
Two lntruderS
ARE BUSY AT THE SAFE

Revolver, She Turns on Lights and
Aids in the Thieves
Capture.
ARE BUSY AT THE SAFE

Unionville, Conn, March l6-Assisted
by his daughter, Grace, Station Agent
A. A. Burnbam captured two men who
were attempting to rob the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad sta.
ton here early yesterday. Warned, as
he had been twice before within the past
few years, by an automatic alarm con.
Meeting his room and the station, that
someone was in the latter place, he
seized HIS rife, and taking with him his
daughter-who armed herself with re.
volver-made his way TO the depot, where
he discovered two men at work on the
safe.
After sending a number Of shots in
through the windows and receiving no
response TO his calls TO the men to sur
render, he stood guard while his daughter
unlocked one Of the doors, entered and
turned on the lights. The two men we're
discovered on the opposite side Of the
room, eowed, and ready to surrender.
In the meantime a number Of citizens,
Deputy Sheriff Robatham, and Constable
G. f. Horsfan had come up in answer
to Mr.. Burnham's alarm, and the officers
took the burglars in charge and locked
them up. They gave their names as
Frank Luby, twenty-five years old, and
Thomas Carlson, twenty-five. They said
they had been convinced by the fusilade
that the station was surrounded by a
posse, and therefore surrendered. and
they were surprised TO find that their
capture had been effected by one man
and young woman. Among the articles
found on them was a set of burglar
tools.
About four years ago Mr.. Burnham,
after an exchange of shots, killed man
who was working on the safe in the
station, and about year ago the alarm
called him out to discover two men at
work there. An exchange of shots fol.
lowed, but the two men escaped.

rather than upon my own eiforts,a Isl

LAYS DROUGHT TO PRAYER.
Holiness Preacher Claims the Lord Pun
ished Lumber Company.

Bokhoma. Okla., March l6.--Bike Moses
Of old, calling down the judgment Of
the Lord on the land OF Pharaoh, the
Rev. Charles Ford, a holiness preacher,
claims he had called down a plague on
Bokhoma, in the form of a drought.
Since his public prayer scarce a drop Of
rain has fallen here for six months until
Saturday, when the minister prayed for
the drought to end.
The prayer was made after the Rev
Mr. Ford had been denied sum OF
money. which he claimed as back wages
from the Frisco Lumber company. Dur.
ing the drought business was paralyzed,
and hundreds of men moved their fami-
lies. that were in actual want, to other
parts of the state.
The Rev. Mr.. Ford's congregation at
Bokhoma is small, and, in addition to
his clerical duties, the minister worked
at the mill of the Frisco Lumber COM
pany Six months ago last September
the pastor resigned his position at the
mill.
In his farewell sermon, the Rev. Mr..
Ford told his congregation he would pray
for rain as soon as he had crossed the
river into another county. Three hours
after he left Bokhoma the heaviest rain
In more than year set in.
