POETRY.
No More!
At the birds come in the joyous spring,
Ascatr e from the sea the white sails of ships.
Vague, phantasmal and unreal.
Come back to me memories of thy ruby Hps.
Dost secret trouble stir thy breast?
Dost not know that what is best
In all this restless world is rest?
Canst conjure from a loveless heart that
priceless guest?
Dost hear the distant ocean call.
Breaking forevei on its rocky wall?
So calls my heart upon the past for thee.
Breaking- forever on the wall of memory.
In taose sweet royal days of June,
The stars and spheres were all in tune.
And the angels were knocking at thy door-
Angels who flee,' to come no more ! no more !
September ripened the ruddy wine
Dost remember our trysting under the vine?
Ceaseless, heartless, the waves break on the
shore,
Keverberatingalway.no mere! no more!
The rocks are covered with rime and snow-
Graves with grasses over-gro
Back to that loving-time let thy memory go,
To the nappy hours we no more may know.
Only to You.
Dear, how many the songs I bring to you.
Woven of dreaiE.Uuffs, pleasure and pain;
All the tongs of my life I sing to you,
And you hear and answer again.
Though nc rhyme do yourdear lips say to me,
Yet, my poet, sweet songs you bring:
V: When you smile, then the as gels pray to me
Tunes to the silent songs you sing.
- i
All my soul goes forth in son to you,
All my deeds for your sake are done
All my laurels and bays belong to yon,
In your name are my battles won.
Just by living you make my life dear to me,
Though your lips never speak my name:
'TIs your hands that in dreams appear tome,
Sring me all that I ask of fame.
k.- -What though here you are wholly lost to me,
Though you will never know or see.
Though life's pain be this worsihp.a cost to me,
Am I not richer than great Kings be?
Have I not you in the holiest heart of me
You, in the eyes which you see alone?
Shall I not riBe to your soul which is part of
me,
Till you shall meet me and know your own?
Little Ikey Lansing.
Air-" Little Bobby Shaf to. "
Ikey Lansing went one day
Among the farmers making hay,
Tried to teach them all to say,
i "Little Ikey Larsing."
Though he would not pay his notes,
Still he thought they'd turn their eoati
And for him -rould cast their votes, ;
Through the town he also flew, -- ;
Restless aa the Wand'ring Jew.
Until all the people knew
Little Ikey Lansing.
Ikey tried to witty be,
Sneered at better men than he,
Claimed to own the g. o. p.
' Little Ikey Lansing.
Stcries Ikey told and sung,
Shouted till he hurt bis lung,
And folks wished he had been hung.
. Little Ikey Lansing.
Thus about dees Ikey trudge,
Trying to become a judge,
.But the people say, "Oh, fudge!
Little Ikey Lansing."

New Army Tactics.
Washington, Sept. 29. The question
of the introduction of the system of
transmitting mail by means of pneuma
tic tubes in some of the large cities is
one which the postmaster general still
has nnder careful consideration, al
though the prospect of a practical test
is not bright. If it were not for the
great expense of introducing the sys
tem the experiment would be tried at
once in New York.Brooklyn and Chica
go, but engineers who have investigated
the subject estimate that a system of
tubing even for experimental purposes,
would cost between $1,000,000 and $ 1,
500,000, and that an effective
system embracing all the impor
tant branch stations in New
York and Brooklyn couldnot be
constructed at a less cost than $5,000,
000. It is feared the project will have
to be abandoned on account of the ex
pense. County seat postmasters are already
beginning to send to the postmaster
general their reports of their visitations
to other offices of their counties, and
they are proving to be of great interest
and significance to those who have had
a chance to examine them. The visit
ing postmaster has shown in almost
every case not only a great interest and
promptness in his work, but he has pre
pared his report with great care and
originality. An Illinois postmaster
evidently took his kodak with him. as
he returns in with his report a picture
of every postomce in the county, and
many of them are accompanied with
maps of the town and much other in
formation of value as well as with sug
gestions worth Btudying.
Rights of Indian Parents.
Washington, Sept. 29. The commis
sioner of Indian affairs has received a
copy of a recent decision by Judge
Green of the district court of the ter
ritory of Oklahoma directing the res
toration to his parents of an Indian boy
placed in the government Indian school
at Chilloco by the Indian office officials.
The father of the boy began habeas cor-
Eus proceedings to secure possession of
is son, who, under an act passed at
the last session of congress had
been compelled to attend school.
Judge Green- held that as the
Indian office had not issued as required
by the act, rnies and regulations to
compel attendance of Indian children
at schools provided for them, the reten
tion of the boy conffattonTirffl ot
his parents was illegal. ? The effect of
this decision is regarded by the com
missioner of Indian affairs as likely to
prove prejudicial to the schools, and it
is the intention to carry the case to a
higher court. The iudge, in his opin
ion, took the ground that the right of a
parent to the custody of his children
belonged to the Indian as well as to the
white man.
Colonel Com p ton'. Sentence.
Washington, Sept. 29. The presi
dent passed upon the record of the
courtm&rtial in the case of Colonel
Compton, Fourth cavalry, who was
charged with failure, while in com
mand of the military post at Walla
Walla, to take steps to prevent the lynch
ing of a gambler named Hunt, nnder
arrest for killing one of the soldiers
under hii The court found him guilty
and sentenced him to suspension from
rank for three years on half pay and to
be confined to the limits of a military
post. The president approved the pro
ceedings of the court, but mitigated the
sentence to suspension from rank and
command on half pay for tw8 years.

Hoarded for Seventy Yearn.
Beaver Falls, Pa., Sept. 29. The
Economites shipped to the Economic
Savings bank, this city, the national
keg full of United States silver coins as
bright and new as when they left the
mint. The coins were principally half
dollars, dated lb23, showing that they
have been hoarded away in Economy
for nearly seventy years. A small run
on the bank caused the Economites to
send out the money. It is believed that
they have several hundred thousand
dollars in gold stowed away in their
strong boxes in some secreted hiding
place at Economy, guarded by some of
the faithful. Nearly every year they
send a keg of the ancient "money to the
bank here.
I.a Toira Sold.

HEIR TO TITLE AND ESTATE.
A Foor North Dakota Farmer Becomes
the Engli.h Earl of Caithness.
Grand Forks, N. D Sept. 29. From
a small farm on the North Dakota
prairies to a fine old English estate and
a seat in the house of lords is a long
step, but James S. Sinclair of Lakota,
Nelson county, has made the stride.
The Sincluirs were distantly related
to George Phillips Alexander, earl of
Caithness, but so slight was the tide of
kinship that no one in the family ex
pected to profit by it. James Sinclair
emigrated and purchased a tract of
laud four miles from Lakota, stocked it
and bent every energy toward improv
ing his little estate. He called the
place Berriedala, an old family name
and the title bestowed by courtesy up
on the eldest son of the earl of Caith
ness. All the people between James Sinclair
and the title died. Either h? had been
extremely careless or his friends and
family solicitor hail an exceedingly con
tradicted idea of the area of the north
west, as the letters were simply ad
dressed to "James Sinclair, Bernedale
farm near Dakota." One after another
of the communications found its way to
the dead letter office at Washington,
and five months were spent by the de
partment officials in discovering the
right address of the man for whom the
letters were intended. Tracors were
sent.to every city and village in Minne
sota, Nebraska and Dakota, and finally
the lost heir was located.
OF OLD STANDING.
Philadelphia Treasurers Have Been in
Arrears for Thirty Years Me
Cammant's Tentlniony.
Harrisbcrg, Sept. 29. Auditor Gen
eral McCammant was again before the
legislature committee investigating the
auditor general and state treasury de
partments. He emphatically denied
that he ever received any checks from
ex-City Treasurer Bardsley of Philadel
phia, and that he had ever shared in
any newspaper rebates on public adver
tising bills. He said he never knew of
these rebates, and that he never had
conversation with any one as to the
prices of the advertisements before they
were given out. The '.'burn this letter"
postcrlpt to one of his letters to Bards'
ley was written only because he did not
want the letter fo fall into the hands of
the people he had criticised. He wrote
to Bardsley about the Keystone bank
because he knew it was a city depository
and he feared that state funds were
there. The auditor general stated that
for more than thirty years the Philadel
phia treasurers have been in arrears to
the state during their terms.
Massachusetts Democrats.
Worcester, Mass., Sept. 29. The
Democratic state convention met at
Mechanics' hall. Patrick A. Collins was
chosen chairman. The platform ad
dressed reaffirms allegiance to the prin
ciples of the national Democratic party,
denounces the McKinley bill, and de
mands the repeal of the taxes on crude
material, and denounces President Har
rison's administration for its violations
of the civil service rules. The silver
plank is as follows: "While we believe
in the use of both gold and silver as
money we are equally opposed to free
and unlimited coinage of silver by our
government independent of other na
tions and to the dangerous silver legis
lation enacted at the last session of con
gress."
Omaha Wants the Republican Convention
Denver, Sept. 29. Colonel C. R.
Scott of Omaha will attend the Repub
lican state convention at Glenwood
Springs today and will try to have the

Predictions of Trouble.
London. Sept. 29. The Moscow Ga
zette publishes a menacing article in
connection with its report of the move
ment of Russian troops along the front
ier of Afghanistan. In this article The
Gazette boldly boasts that the impu
dent demonstrations of England in the
Dardanelles matter will receive its an
swer in Asia, where there is no triple
alliance to assist her. Every blow
struck at Russian diplomacy in Europe
The Gazette declares will be met by a
counter blow in Asia, ' if '
The St. James Gazette considers the
Asiatic outlook on the political horizon
serious, and that it may rosult in a seri
ous outbreak, China, England and
Russia, the three, great territorial pow
ers in Asia, could no longer avoid each
other in the struggle for additional ter
ritory on the part of Russia, and
it remains to be seen whether
the meeting will be friendly, or
the beginning of a prolonged conflict.
Notwithstanding these utterances of
The Gazette, it is not behoved in high
official circles that Russia is anxious to
do any serious fighting in Asia. She is
not prepared for it, and will not be
until the Siberian railroad is completed.
"Russia," said a returned official of the
East Indies service, "has simply been
caught by the Chinese at her everlast
ing game of stealthy aggression. She
is always at it and the czar is always
ready to disavow it, if it promises to
end badly, or to take in any new town
or district that a frontisr command may
manage to steal without inciting a seri
ous row."
Advices from India show that the
government there is on the qui vivi for
any Russian trespass on British terri
tory, and will meet it promptly with
force.
