She is Mrs. Kate l.. Wesley Gray.

finds, that owing to her poor sight
and her falling strength, she is no
longer able to support herself by her
work as an artist.
Efforts have been made by Mrs. Gray
to obtain an annuity from the sale of
the hymbooks written by the Wesleys.

Good Times.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch
Trade indiciae during the past week
showed continuance of the previous
activity. In some departments there
were signs that high tide has been
reached in the price movement. While
these took the form of slight reecs-
sions the active demand makes it evil
dent that the general price level will
be practically maintained. It's pro-
longed continuance is the more likely
from the fact that the price boom has
not been carried to point that checks
consumption and necessitates a not
able recession of prices. This is said
especially of the iron and steel trade.

Through leafless boughs pipes shrl and drear;
With warmer love the home clasps fast
The hands, the heart. the friends dear.
On many sail the fleet

But find sweeter spot than home.
Today with quckened hearts they hear
Old times old voices chime and call;
The dreams of many vanished year
Sit by them this festival;
Though hearts that warmed them cold
Though heads winter
That bright with tangled gold
Thanks for the blessings, kept
Thanks for the strong of life
How it change veer;
For the love of mother and sister and wife:
Clear that haven steer
For the quenchless lamps of changeless love
That burn in the night of the dead.
For the life that is. the hope above

OUR NATIONAL VlALHALLA.
CWashington POst.)


1t is gratifying to note that no demur
has come from the North to Virgin
las contribution of statue of Robert
E. Lee, in company with George Wash
ington, to the national Valhalla" On
the contrary, the best public opinion
of the North accepts it as a matter of
course, approves of it, and even ap-
plauds it.
The national Valhalla" was the
conception and the creation of the late
Justin S. Morrill,, for more than thirty
years senator in Congress from the
State of Vermont The plan allows
any state to send to the old abandoned
hall of the House of Representatives
statues, in stone or bronze, of any two
of its citizens, native or adopted, who
are dead. New Hampshire sent Daniel
Webster, native son, though Webster
is associated with Massachusetts, of
which Commonwealth he was SO long
the foremost and most eminent citizen.
Kansas sent Ingalls,, native of Mas
sachusetts. Ohio sent William Allen,
native of North Carolina. Indiana
contributed Oliver P. Morton, a native
of Ohio. Illinois contributed James
Shields, native of Ireland, and Fran
ces E. Willard, the creator of the w.
G. T. u, and Wisconsin contributed
Father Marquette, a native of France.
AS Illinois did not send Abraham
Lincoln, Kentucky is the only state
that can send him, since Indiana's
quota is full; but it is certain that
Kentucky will not send Lincoln unless
he is accompanied by Jefferson Davis,
another native of Kentucky. That
would have been done ere now if
strong party in the Legislature had
not insisted on so honoring the mem
DRY of the late William Gobel. Certain
it is that if Kentucky shall send Lin
coin and Davis it will be the most
conspicuous group of the entire lot,
unless Virginia's Washington and Lee
equal or eclipse it.
Perhaps the entire conception is
false or maudlin sentiment Certainly
there is room for the invidious. An
accomplished senator now in Congress,
scholar and a man of taste thinks
that some of the stone images should
be carted to the lime kiln for the hor-
rible caricatures they are of art.
And it is not unlikely that a day will
come when all the statues of our Val
halla" will be returned to the states
whence they came, in the name of and
for the sake of good taste.

BATTLES OF NIGHT.

We take our troubles to Pillow Hill
And we marshal our cares at night
In the quiet hours of the strengthened
will
With the Problems Grave to fight,
There in the still of the little room,
With the whispering stars O'erhead,
We fight the battles of night and gloom
On the field of the Sleepless Bed.
There in the camps of the counterpart,
Where the brain still whirls in
thought,
The trials and the tasks come back
again
And the battles of night are fought.
Worry and fretting and grief and ache,
Trouble and care and woe,
Rank by rank, for the loved ones sake,
We battle and lay them low.
Memory summons them one by one;
Out of the day they creep
There on the fields of the dusk and dun
At the door of the tents of sleep;
Martial and menancing foes of life,
Chances of loss and gain,
Locked in the bitter and lonely strife
In the spiritual wars red stain.
Forward and backward in struggling
grim, 49,.
Figuring, planning, We sWerVe,
There in the murmuring, militant dim
WELDING the sword of nerve;
Over and over and over in mind
Fighting the cark and care,
Bitterly beaten and sometimes blind,
With God in the darkness there.
Battles of night on Pillow Hill
That we fight down in the breast,
All, isn't it sweet to win by will
To the boom of the dreamless rest!
Conquering kingly the evil, the weak
Satan behind us thrust;
And ever the bugles of God to speak
To the infinite under the dust!

CURRENT COMMENT

statesman who has fairly boiled over
with anger at the "iniquities" of East
ern Senators in tariff revisions, must
not let his wrath fade away in a hur-
.ry The tone of Mr. Cummin's denun-
citation of the greed and rapacity'' of
the Republican tariff makers, while
not as fierce as it was month ago, is
still rebellious and objurgatory. He is
not yet reconstructed" The earnest
|efforts of certain of our Republican
contemporaries in the East to explain
that the Iowa's statesman has no in
tention of leaving his party, even
though he holds it up to public con-
domination, have a distinctly humorous
quality. They are sure he will be
loyal but they don't like his SEN
timents.

HOW THE WRIGHTS sly
IT FEELS TO FLY
AerOnauts Describe Their Sensations
While in the Air.

The sensation of flying is described
by Wilbur and Orville Wright in the
Washington Times as follows:
The machine is placed upon a single
rail track facing the wind and is Sc
curely fastened with a cable. The en-
CINE is put in motion and the propel-
lers in the rear whirr You take your
seat at the center of the machine be-
side the operator. He slips the ca
BILE and you shoot forward.
An assistant who has been holding
the machine in balance on the rail
starts forward with you. But before
you have gone fifty feet the speed is
too great for him and he let's 60 Be
fore reaching the end of the track
the operator moves the front rudder
and the machine lifts from the rail
like a kite, supported by the pressure
of the air underneath it.
The ground under you is at first
a perfect blur. But as you rise the
objects become clearer. At a height
of one hundred feet you feel hardly
any motion at all, except for the wind
which strikes your face. If you did
not take the precaution to fasten your
hat before starting you have probably
lost it by this time.
The operator moves lever; the
right wing rises and the machine
swings about to the left. You make a
very short turn. Yet you do not feel
the sensation of being thrown from
your seat, so often experienced in au-
tomobile and railway travel.
You find yourself facing toward the
point from which you started. The OBJ
jects on the ground now seem to be
moving at much higher speed, though
you perceive no change in the pres
sure of the wind on your face. You
know then that you are travelling with
the wind
When you near the starting place
the operator stops the motor while
still high in the air The machine
coasts down at an oblique angle to the
ground, and after sliding fifty or a
hundred feet comes to a rest. Although
the machine often lands when travel
ing at a speed of mile minute, you
feel no shock whatever, and cannot in
fact, tell the exact moment when it
first touched the ground. The motor

LINCOLN SENT ARTISTIC
AND EVEN PRETTY.
Time May Come When Coins VIII
Bear Heads of Presidents:
New York WORLDLY


The artistic merits of the Lincoln
cent piece are not to be denied; but
they are the merits of what is known
as the new are. and involve a far
departure from the traditional type of
American coinage. The Lincoln cent
is distinctly pretty" 1t might have
been coined at a French mint to go
with the bronze vases and statuary
of the Art Noumeau which fills the
shelves of the Broadway bric-a-brac
shops.
A more serious criticism will be
leVeled at the policy of innovation I'M
der which the time-honored Indian
head is now displaced, after half a
century, to make way for the profile
of a president If any American citi-
zen was to be thus honored it was
most appropriate that the distinction
should be accorded to Lincoln.
But, except for the Washington half
dollars, dimes and copper cents of
1892, and the negligible issue of La
fayette memorial dollars, since 1873
our coinage has constantly shown the
features of Liberty on it's face, a Lib
erty of various aspects, it is true
now fileter, or turbaned, now with
| flowing hair, now buXom or again
slender; but always the same person
flied type of the national idea. From
the cent piece alone she has been dis
placed, and then only as a sentimental
| tribute to the Indian, the use of the
flying eagle on the cent pieces last
ing only from 1856 to 1858 The first
coins struck at the new mint in Phil
adelphia, the copper cents of 1898,
bore Liberty in profile on their face
If the memory of Lincoln can be
in any way exalted by stamping his
| features on a cent piece, it is we'll that
it should be done. But if Lincoln,
why not Washington and Franklin,
and in course of time the head of the
president in office, after the style of
ruling monarchs? The descent is
easy. Shall we eventually have as
many heads of eminent citizens on our
coins as there are now on our postage
stamps?
