DR.. Stewart for Senator

The entry of Dr. Hugh A. Stewart,
of Flint, into the race for the republi-
can nomination for state senator will
/ prove a source of much satisfaction to
his many friends and admirers through
out the county. The doctor has been
prominent in republican politics in Gen.
esee for a number of years and will
have the support of large personal
following, which will, of course, strenth-
ey his candidacy very greatly. DR..
} Stewart has been a practicing physi'
clan in Flint for the past nine years
and is very highly regarded both as a
professional man and citizen, having
had the honor of cerving his ward in
the city council. We have no hesitancy
in recommending the doctor to the fav-
orable consideration of our readers and
can assure them that in the event of
his nomination and election they will
have representative in the senate of
the state who will be a virile force in
that body and credit to the district
which placed him there.

City of Dreadful Night

When the people of Clio were swelt-
ering under the terrific heat of Satur-
day and Sunday and the nights follow
ing those days, we were reminded of
the story of "The City of Dreadful
night" told by Rudyard Kipling, in
which the suffering endured by the
residents of city in India, during the
fierce heat of summer, is described
with the graphic force of which Kipling
is a master. The narrator is. supposed
to have ascended one of the minarets
of mosque, whence the unrest of the
heat tortured multitude is observed
We print only brief excerpts from the
story, but enough, perhaps, to make
the reader more fully conscious of what
he endured for a couple of days and
nights and of what the people of GER
tain districts of India endure for long
periods:
"Dore might have drawn it Zoal
could describe it-this spectacle of
sleeping thousands in the moonlight and
in the shadow of the Moon. The roof
tops are crammed with men, women,
and children; and the air is full of un-
distinguishable noises. They are rest
less in the City of Dreadful Night; and
small wonder. The marvel is that they
can even breathe. If you gaze intently
at the multitude, you can see that they
are almost as uneasy as daylight
crowd; but the tumult is subdued.
Everywhere, in the strong light, you
can watch the sleepers turning to and
fro; shifting their beds and again reset
tling them. In the pit-like courtyards
of the houses there is the same move
ment.
"The pitiless Moon shows it all.
Shows, too, the plains outside the city.
and here and there hand 's-breath of
the Ravee without the walls. Shows
lastly, a splash of glttering silver on a
house-top almost directly below the
mosque Minar. Some poor soul has
risen to throw jar of water over his
fevered body; the tinkle of the falling
water strikes family on the ear. Two
or three other men, in far-off corners
of the City of Dreadful Night, follow
his example, and the water flashes like
photographic signals. A small cloud
passes over the face of the Moon, and
the city and its nhabitants-cle drawn
in black and white before-fade into
masses of black and deeper black. Still
the unrestful noise continues, the sigh
of great city overwhelmed with the
heat, and OF people seeking In vain
for rest. 1t is only the lower-class
women who sleep on the housetops.
What must the torment be in the lat
ticed zenanas, where a few lamps are
still twinkling? There are feotfalls in
the court below. 1t is the Muezzin-
faithful minister; but he ought to have
been here an hour ago to tell the Faith
full that prayer is better than sleep
the sleep that will not come to the city.
n
"'Will the Sahib, out of his kindness,
make room p What is it? Something
borne on mems shoulders comes by in
the half-light, and stand back. A
woman's corpse going down to the
burning CHAT, and bystander says,
She died at midnight from the heat.
So the city was of Death as well as
Night after all.

Easement Executed

Sir Roger Easement, the sh knight
convicted of high treason in connection
with the recent uprising in his native
land, was executed by hanging in the
Tower of London, yesterday morning.
The famous old fortress where the Sic
Roger was confined has encompassed
within its gray walls many a tragedy.
1t was here that Mary Queen of Scots
was confined for many years prior to
her execution, here also Charles the
First was incarcerated following his
defeat at Naseby by the army of
Cromwell. here Lady Jane Grey spent
the closing hours of her short and pa
thetic career, and here, also, Sir
Thomas Moore and Sir Walter Rseilh
tarried awhile ere their heads were laid
upon the block to satisfy the demands
of royal lust and malignancy. The
tower was begun by William the Con.
queror in the Twelfth century and gcaven
in the gray walls of its cells are the
names of many famous prisoners.

The Bond

From the Armenian Of Archus Tehobanian)
All things are bound together by tie
Finer and subter than ray of light
Color and sound are ieeting fragrances,
The maidens SMILE the star beams sparkling bright,
Are knit together by secret bond
Finer and subter than a ray of light
Sometimes of memories is unsealed
Just by simple tune sad or gay.
Part of the past with every quivering note
From it's dark sleep awakens to the day.
And we live Ger again long past life,
Just through simple tune, sad or gay.
Flowers call back and women to our thoughts;
well-known face smiles in their hue;
Their bright cups moved by the capricious wind,
Can make dream of eyes, black eyes blue.
We in their fragrance feel loved ones breath
Flowers call back men and women whom we knew.
The summer recalls fond, happy hours;
We in the sunset see dead once more;
In starlight holy loves upon smile:
With our griefs the stormy thunders roar;
The zephyr breathes to us name adored;
We in the sunset see the dead once more.
All things are bound in closest unison
Throughout the world, by many mystic thread.
The flower and love- the breeze and reverie
Nature and man, and things alive and dead
Are all akin, and bound in harmony
Throughout the world by many mystic thread.
