Standing today in the halo,
Which arches fifty years,
You see in the background some shadows. $
And it may be you see some tears.
But in every tear is rainbow,
Which the sun Of hope reveals,
And in every cloud is blessing
Which the shading just cOnceals.
Your hair may be touched with the silver,
But your hearts have never grown old,
And the love which the years have chaStened
Crowns today your wedding of gold.
If your faces are turned toward the sunset,
They are not looking into the night,
For the rOseate hues of the evening
But melt into greater light.
With memories sweet and tender.
And hope to illumine the way,
1 We offer our hearts best wishes
ON this golden wedding day. T.

SUBMARINE AND GUNBOAT NARROWLY ESCAPE COLLISION Close Call from Nautical Tragedy in
 Naval Maneuvers.

Provincetown, Mass. August 1.-Two of the submarines narrowly escaped being run down by the gunboat Tank ton during last nights sham war tac- tics on the part of the Atlantic fleet off the Cape Cod coast. When the YanAton, which is serving as a des- patch boat. arrived in port today, she reported the occasion. During last nights maneuvers a thick fog shut in and the war game was called off. all the ships being ordered to make for port. The Yankton wss proceeding slowly with her watch doubled when the fog lifted for a moment and dis closed a submarine running on the surface just across the Yankton's s bows. By quick work on the Yankton the ship was swung off sharply to port but headed directly upon another sub marine that came creeping out of the bank of vapor. A crash seemed inevi- table, but the ships sharp prov was swung around just as the submarine slipped by, scarcely twenty feet dis tant. A collision in the deep water so far from shore would in all probability have meant death to the crews of the little underwater fighters. The names of the submarines are unknown to the men on the YanAton

Afterwards the wreckage of the forward section will be removed in a similar manner.

. Paris. Aug 3.-John w. Gates had a sudden sinking spell late this after noon similar to those he had exper.- enced on two previous occasions. For a moment it seemed that his pulse had stopped. but thanks to his remarkable power of recuperation he rallied satis- factorily.
 The sinking spell today followed a chill. The family hastily summoned all the physicians who have been in attendance upon the case and strong restoratives again were resorted to and again had the desired effect of bring ing the patient around. The. attack however, seems to have affected Nh. Gates condition more than on previ- ous occasions. and tonight he is not quite so strong and his lungs a little more congested. Nevertheless, the phy- sicians believe there is no very imnle diate danger of death and still cherish a hope for recovery.

 Official reports of a hearing in the agricultural department when Secre- tary Wilson started to saccharine manufacturers that the Remsen board had been appointed to conserve the interests of the manufacturers' were produced before the committee to- day.
 Accompanying these reports were a file of letters from the agricultural de- partment hearing upon the Remsen boards affairs In che of these let ters Secretary Wilson assured Dr. Taylor, now of the University of Pennsylvania, that he had not made the statements credited to him re- garding the purpose for which the Remsen board was formed.
