A FRIENDLEss ORPHAN.
(By L. M. Karchner.)

The day is done, the night is dark,
For ne'er a star unveils her light.
Turns, dark my lone soul to thee,
Eyes so blind they scarce can see.
But afar off star seems all aflame;
Methinks it burns with fathers name.
Alone within my room l sit, alone

Within my lap are treasures to me
most dear.
They remind me that fathers Yohr-
zeit's drawing near.

Precious letters from father who
Once wrote them to me in days of
yore
Alas! the ribbons faded the envel-
opes tore.

flown long dead
Here Is his signature, "a. Karch4

1t seems see him yet alive before

Or is't it, perhaps, because ! hold his
picture in my hand
But no. alas! tbs but a dream,
For he is dead, but my thoughts still
cling to him.
Dear God, to be alone is now so hard,
10 be left alone without a parents
love to guard.
Maught but sorrow and i'll luck my
share
Daily ! must rise to do and dare;
Alone to bear my heavy load
Along life's dreary, cheerless road.
Though bent, l stagger meath, it's
weight,
Am compelled to suffer and never
hesitate.
On yle orphan falls the brunt of
blame
May God in mercy put the cavilers
to shame.
When on life's journey | am hard

Long years of toll bring slight re

So what need be there to have Hopes

These seven weary years | long for

Each passing day but makes it hard

Far DER the ocean deep
These many years I've wandered, but

AS in a cave and weep and weep
Ger your dear heart, now fast asleep.
Far down in opal caves,
Down midst the moaning graves,
Ger your dear form dash the waves,
And ], in different lands, Away
BY adverse fate am forced to stray
Oh for how long am j doomed thus
to be
Far from my native place, where
could see
All things that waken memories OF

My heart and soul are filled with
a * sorrow
That this longing must be unfulfilled
for many morrow.
The light burns low.

Various insults to white people have
been reported in the neighborhood, and
the people of that section of the city

were smashed with rocks last night,

ing or serious disorder and the street
cars are running on nearly schedule
time. The day was marked by the
discharge of 33 mutinous policemen
who refused to go on cars when order
ed by Mayor Marshall.
Harmon Explains Course.
Governor Harmon in a formal
statement gives his reasons why he
called out the troops. He says that
the mutiny of a portion of the po-
lice of Columbus has so weakened
the force that the police are unable
to control the situation, and that the
troops are necessary to preserve or
der. He says that he took the ac-
tion on his own responsibility as
governor of Ohio.
Mayor Marshall early last evening
called upon the Columbus Railway
and Light company to keep their
cars in the barns at night until peace
is restored.
Excitement on the Streets.
The announcement that troops
were again called out after the dis
missal last week of the 5000 soldiers
who served on strike duty here for
10 days, created much excitement on
the streets.
The 10 days service of the troops,
which ended last week, cost the state
S150,000. Announcement is unof-
fcially made that it has been decided
to keep the troops here until the
controversy between the street car
company and the union men has been
definitely settled. One regiment will
serve certain length of time and
then another will be called out even
If the fight keeps up until Christ
