And we are the dreamers OF dreams
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by dcsolate streams;
World-loscrs and world -forsakers,
ON whom the pale moon glenmsi
Yet We are the movers and shakers
or the world forever, II seems,
with wonderful, deathiess dittles
We build up the worlds great cities,
And out of a fabulous story
We fashion an empires glory
ono man with n dream, at pleasure,
Shall go forth and conquer crowni
And three with new songs measure
Can trample an empire down.
We, In tho ages lying,
In the buried past OF the earth
Built Nlneveh with our siEhing,
And Babel Itself with our mirthj
And o'crthrew them with prophesying
To the old of the new worlds worth;
For each age is a dream that is dying,
Or one that is coming to birth.

ss"The brightest and most distinguished
isctress of her time" Ada Rehan, who died
Saturday. had her real professional debut at
the old Arch Street Theatre in this city, in
the same year and at the same house that
witnessed John Drew's beginnings, though
she had acted in Newark before. Her ap-
pearance here was in 1s74-75, and from that
time, through her long association with Au-

played $50 parts, all with extraordinary sue
cess. The qualities which endeared her to
playgoers were numerous but OF many men,

The tenement house fires Saturday night
should suggest to the head of the Depart
ment OF Public Safety the necessity OF a
rigid and thorough inspection of the tene-
ments throughout the city, in order that he
may be assured that proper precautions are
taken for the protection OF the lives of the
tenants. There are laws regulating the dis
posal OF rubbish and the proper placing OF
nre escapes. but disastrous fires usually
occur where these laws have been disre-
garded. The housing law passed last winter
was intended to safeguard the tenants from
death by ire as well as from preventable
diseases that thrive in insanitary dwellings.
There is law enough, but the impression is
gaining ground that there is too little en-
foreement OF It,
