WEIR MITCHELL'S LAST POEM
Work Of Poet Said to Give View Of
6arabbas Different From the
Story In the Bible.

One of the most remarkable po-
ems written by DIR. s. Weir Mitchell
was Just about finished at the time Of
his death. 1t is entitled ''Barabbas"
and runs in narrative form, inter-
spersed with lyrics. In it the author
takes an entirely different view from
the biblical version of Barabbas, the
robber, who was free by the Roman
governor at the request of the high
priest.
DR.. Mitchell described Barabbas
as a patriot who had fought for the
cause of the Jews in Palestine, and
hence was naturally made the object
of their interest when the chifs
asked whom they would prefer to
have released instead of Christ.
1t is believed that the poem is
copyrighted and will no doubt be
published in due course as a postum
nous work. The physician and au-
thor had intended to read some Of the
lyrics from "Barabbas" at a meeting
of the Franklin Inn club here, and
had talked over the general charac-
ter of the narrative with many of his
friends. The poem is about 5000
lines in length.-Philadelphia Dis
patch to the New York Times.

GREAT EXHIBITION WILL BE FIREWORKS
Expert Says Labor Day Pleasure Seekers to Be
 Given Great Display.

Charles Kruger, special representa- tive and expert of the Newton Fire works company of Chicago, arrived Ill the city yesterday to make arrange ments for the big display that will be held here on Labor Day. as one ol the leading entertainments of the La bor day celebration.
 Mir. Kruger made an inspection of the grounds across the river in com pany with a committee of the Central Trades council, under whose auspices the celebration will be held. He was very enthusiastic with the condition of the grounds.
 "The place across the river is an ideal one for such an eXhibition,' he said. "The people are very fortunate to be able to witness the display from the south side of the river, as the distance is just right to give a good effect of the fireworks"
 In discussing some of the features of the program, Mir. Kruger jokingly stated that this will be the first time that September Morn" will be shown in September. He stated that he had just given weeks exhibition at Gainesville, H., with three perform ances daily, and that the people were loud in their praises for the splendid display It was estimated that fifty thousand people saw the performances there.
 Mr. Kruger stated that several of the numbers on the program were of exceptional merit especially the one initiating Niagara Falls, which is of spectacular nature, and Eliminates the surroundings for distance of half a mile.
 The fireworks have arrived and in a day or two will be transferred across the river, where they will be ar ranged preparatory to giving the ex- hibition.

How Unreasonable

Many business men actually believe
that spelling ought to be an accom-
plishment of the average college grad
uate. A young bachelor of arts was
recently put to work running small
printing press in the back room OF
bankers office. He was to set up and
print number of circulars to be sent
out to customers of the house.
When the work was finished, 1t was
found to differ decidedly from the
standards of spelling set by the late
Messrs. Webster and Worcester. The
young man was summoned to an audi
ence with his chief. The interview
was not pleasant, and the young man
showed as much by his face when he
rejoined the rest of the office force.
What's the matter, John?" some
one asked him.
Matter enough" replied John. The
boss expects an educated man to spell
just like a blooming stenographer -

this morning:
Since two months no news. We
do not know where my husband Isl
"The woman and her family do not

wanted to know how many French

her by telling her that many had
been made prisoners of war. And now
she has fastened every hope upon this

go to school and that everything pro-
crosses more or less in the regular
channels am compelled to say a
prayer of thanksgiving that our coun.
try has been spared. You ought to
see the disorder here. The country
side is overcrowded with troops, there
is no administration, the crops are
still in the fields and famine threatens.
The people are irresolute and detected.
1T is now eight days since the
fighting in the forest Of. l think
of the event with shudder. 1t is
different when you are fighting out
in the open. but to fight in the woods
in the deep, dark forests awful
The explosions of the shells reverber-
ated through the forest and the heavy
bombs cut lanes through the trees.
We did not even know most of the
time where the shells came from. 1t
was impossible to return the fire. In
the morning we saw the French cook

position.

with one of the chasseurs to where
the officer in charge of the patrol had

had died from a shot through the
heart. But the chasseur who accom-
panied me, and who evidently was
very fond of the officer, asked me,
with great concern In his voice:
"'Does my officer live?
Il shook my head saying: No, he
is dead
And then very touching thing
occurred. The soldier fell to his knees
beside the dead officer and prayed
for a long time. A gripping picture.

Supersedino Europe,

For the manufacture of pottery of
the better grades considerable clay,
mainly kaolin, is imported into this
country from Europe and China, the
value of these imports last year ex-
ceeding two million two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars. 1t seems prob
able, says the United States geological
survey, that under the necessity due
to the war of now finding a domes-
tic supply these finer clays can be
in large part replaced. Already q
process of decoloring kaolin Is report
ed as successful. and this may make
large deposits of kaolin and ball clay
available for the manufacture of white
ware and pottery.
