She Is not old , ehe is not young , The woman with the serpent's tongue. The haggard cheek , the hungering eye , The poisoned words that wildly fly. The famished face the fevered hand Who Alights the worthiest In the land , Sncors at the just , condemns the bravo , And blackens goodness in Its crave. William Watson's "Tho Woman With the Serpent Tongue. " London , Nov. 5. "Who Is the wo man with the Hcrrent's tongue ? " Who did William I ) . WatFon mean In his poem which has caused the greatest fnroie In literary and social circles since the appearance of Kipling's "Vamrlre ? " "Was It Mrs. George Keppol , fnv- ' orlte of Kink Kdwnrd. or was It Mrs. i Herbert Asquith. wife of the premier , formerly Ml = s Mnrgot Tennant ? " | There aie the questions which everv member of pociety. every man nnd woman of letters , today , l n klng him self nnd hl neighbor. Opinion Is di vided on which of tlie two women the poet Is striking nt. No nnme Is , mentioned in the poom. but the names ' of the two women are on every tongue. Tl'e consensus of o'-l"Jon Is that Margot - got Tennant Apqulth , the wife of Britain's rri'ne minister , could Identi fy the person refered to. Mrs .Asquith is n womnn of sharp wit and was the original of "Dodo" in Benson's novel. She is the third daughter of the late Sir Charles Ten- mint who made an enormous fortune in Spanish conper mines nnd In the manufacture of chomicaK Her home ! was In Glasgow. She was a friend of the rznr of luissla , as well as most of the notable men of her own coun try , and Gladstone wrote poetry to her. In 1804 she was wedded to Her bert Asquith , then 43 , a widower with five children , nnd n Inwyer of small Income. He is now prime minister of the United Kingdom. The remnrknble society known ns "The Souls" attracted much nttentlon In England several years ago , although public knowledge of Its nTnirs was al ways somewhat indefinite. Neither wealth nor position could secure en tree to the most of exclusive clubs. Intellectual brl'liancy ' was the te t , and among the leading members were Arthur J. Bnlfour , Mrs. Beerbohm Tree , Lndy Grnnby , Lord Elcho , Margot - got Tennant George Wyndham nnd Alfred Lyttleton. , "The Souls" discussed everything ] conventional nnd unconventlonnl , nnd finally begnn to seek and find affini ties. The natural consequence was a scnndnl. nnd It was such a noisome one that the society disbanded. "Tho Woman With the Serpent's Tongue" is In William Watson's latest book of poems , which Is copyrighted by the John Lnnc company. The poem follows : She Is not old , she Is not young , The womnn with the serpent's tongue. The hnggnrd cheek , the hungering eye , The poisoned words thnt wildly fly. The furnished face , the fevered hand Who slights the worthiest In the land , Sneers at the Just , condemns the brave , And blackens goodness in its grave. In truthful numbers bo she punir. The woman with the serpent's tongue ; Concerning whom fame hints at things Told but In shrugs nnd whis perings ; Ambitious from her nntnl hour. And scheming nil her life for power , With little left of seemly pride , With venomed fangs she cannot hide. Who half makes love to you today , Tomorrow gives her guest away. Burnt up within with that strange soul She cannot slake , or yet control ; Malignant-lipped , unkind , unsweot ; Past all example Indiscreet ; Hectic and always overstrung The woman with the serpent's tongue. To think that such as she can mar Names that among the noblest are ; That hands like hers can touch the springs That move who knows what men nnd things ! Thnt on her will their fates have hung ! The womnn with the serpent's tongue. Wayne Normal Notes , The new term opened up with an increased enrollment over the corresponding pending term of a year ago.

BIG BUILDING'TOPPLING. Collapse Expected of New York's Crim inal Court Structure. New York , Nov. G. New York's great criminal courts building , erect ed at a cost of two million dollars. Is absolutely deserted today. The wide halls , usually thronged with litigants and spectators , nre silent , nnd the spa cious court roomS where the Harry K. Thaw and other noted trials have been held , are empty of Judge. Jury nnd lawyers. But outside of the big building n different scene is presented. The ad joining streets , except for a wide area kept clear by the police , are black with men whose eyes are fixed on ominous cracks extending from the top of the structure to the street line. Each one Is asking his neighbor how long ho believes the walls will stand , and no one wants to go nway because he fears he will miss the big show that nil nre waiting for. The big show is the anticipated col lapse of the costly pile. So Imminent Is the danger considered that the streets have been roped off on all sides to keep the crowds out of the danger zone , and a heavy shield of Immense timbers Is being laid over Lafayette street , one of the thorough fares upon which It faces , to protect the subway which runs beneath the surface. All last night judges , coroners , dis trict attorneys and others who have been quartered in the historic building worked at what they , believed was the risk of their lives to carry out public records and private belongings. Ex perts declared the building was In no danger of Immediate collapse , but the judges held a meeting yesterday and declared that they would no longer Imperil their lives and those of the public by holding court there. One of the biggest cracks In the high wall passes close to the famous "bridge of sighs" across which so many malefactors Imvo passed from the Tombs to the courthouse to learn their fate. The Tombs , in which arc thousands of prisoners , is just across the street from the courthouse. BuildIng - Ing Inspectors made an examination of the prison today to Investigate a report that It , too , was settling. A small fissure was found in the outer wall of the building , hut no propara- lions wore made lo abandon the pris on. on.Street car service on Center street , another of the streets upon which the building fronts , was Interrupted this morning and the passengers wore made to alight two squares above or below the building. | Traffic In the subway was allowed to continue , but Instructions wore giv en to pass the threatened spot nt re duced speed. Alleges Stoeber Struck His Wife. Police Judge Elseley repri manded Charles Stoeber for striking his wife and being drunk , and let him off with payment of costs In the case , amounting to $5.50 , without a fine. Mrs. Stoeber testified that Stoeber struck her once and missed a second blow. Judge Elseley explains his len iency by the fact that this was Stoebcr's first offense. Chnrles Stoeber was nrrested by Chief of Police Marquardl Saturday on charges filled by Theodore Mueller , charging Stoeber with beating and n Isu&lng his own wife , Mrs. Stoehcr being Mueller's sister. Some difficul ties In real estate transactions , It is said , have caused disputes between Mr. and Mrs. Stoeber. Friday after noon It Is alleged Stoobcr went home nnd In n dispute struck his wife. Mrs. Stoeber immediately left the house ot her husband and remained over night with her father , Rev. J. P. Mueller. How Sewer Ditch Is Being Filled. Mayor Ftlday will investigate the charge that part of the Norfolk av enue sewer ditch has boon filled In without flooding the ditch with water when half flllpd with dirt. The may or , however , scoffs at the Idea that the ditch will not he sufllclently sot- tied by spring to permit paving Nor folk avenue. The few persons op posed to paving are reported to have boon under the impression that the d'trh ' would not be settled sufllclently to permit paving next summer. "The sewer builder Is under contract which makes him financially respon sible for the ditch In case It settles , " the mayor said , "and the city will withhold 5 per cent of his pny to cover nny work required In filling In the d'tch. ' So for Hint renson I believe the contractor. In his own selfish In terest , Is packing the ditch down now , nnd filling It In with wntcr as it should be , to save himself future expense. I have watched some of the filling In and I know that that was done ac cording to contract that is , the ditch was half filled with dirt , then flooded with water , then the balance of the dirt put In and then flooded with wnter a second time. However , I shall Investigate the charge thnt this fenturo of the contrnct has boon neglected In nny pnrticulnr. " Street Will Be Ready to Pave. City Engineer Brown stated that after the street Is graded for paving , down to what Is known ns sub-grade , a roller weighing ten or fifteen tons will be run over the street and that this will pack the earth below , In cnse there Is nny loose dirt , thus plnclng the street In perfect condition for the pnvlng. "The sewer on Norfolk avenue hns been flushed with water more than any sewer In the city , due to the fact that the contractor does not want to haul any dirt off the street , " Brown snid. "And once the 15-ton roller hits the trench , if there Is nny dirt thnt hns not nlready settled , it will certain ly pack down then. Norfolk avenue will be In condition to pave in the spring. " The discussion was caused by criti cism made to The News , by a number of business men who declared that the ditch was not being flushed enough and that It would require a long time for the ditch to settle as n result. "If there Is one thing I am sure of , " said ono man , "It Is how to fill a ditch. No dirt should be thrown in that does not splash In water. In that way the loose dirt settles down compactly Just ns nature Intended it should. I stood and watched the men fill in the sewer ditch , and they put no water In at all until they had the ditch completely filled. Ho hnd holes nil over town n year ago ns a result of such filling in , nnd it will bo recalled horses fell Into the holes frequently. If wo nre to pave , no effort should be spared to get thnt ditch filled in in the right way , so that it won't ho settling for the next two years. It is a very import ant bit of work. " Woman Wins In Cherry County. Lincoln , Nov. 6. Miss Gertrude Jor dan of Valentino was elected treasurer of Cherry county at Tuesday's election , the first womnn to bo selected for that office In Nebraska. Several women are now serving as school superinten dents and the district court clerk of Sheridan county is a woman. Miss Jordan is 28 years old , and a handsome young woman who demon strated her capacity as a hustler both at the primaries and at the election. For seven years she served as deputy Ireasurer. She Is a republican , and when W. A. Armstrong , the republican incumbent , resigned last summer she was dispossessed by E. B. Quibble , named for the place by the democratic board of county commissioners. The young woman nt once announc ed herself ns a candidate nt the repub lican primaries. Two more men sought to compote with her for the nominn- tion , but she got more votes thnn both of them. The democrats put up Quib ble , nnd the fight was on. Miss Jor dan made a thorough canvass of the county , which is about ns big ns the stnto of Connecticut. Every snlo found her present , nnd many a visit she paid to the ranches during the lasl two months. Several gallant young men assisted in the formation of an or ganization , nnd as a result she won by a majority of approximately 250. The county attorney , who Is a republican publican , has given an opinion that the constitution does not permit a wo man to hold the office , but Miss Jor dan has fortified herself with an opin- .ion .from Attorney General Thompson that a woman is eligible to the office and If there Is to bo a flgtil , which U threatened , she Is prepared. . . . Sermon by All Saints' Day CMARLES T. RUSSELL , "Both Me Thai' Sanchficlli nnd They That Ate Sanctified Ate All of Pastor Brooklyn Tabernacle. One : For Which Cause Me is Nol Ashamed lo Call Ihcm Brethren" ( Mcbrcws ii , I I } . Sunday , October 31. Pastor Unssell of Brooklyn Tabernacle preached to day from thu above text and said in piut- : Tomorrow will be observed by our friends of the Catholic , Lutheran and Episcopal chmv-hcs as "All Sill-its' Day. " At an early datuafter Ihedeatli of the apostles , probably In the third century , the custom crept Into the Church of Invoking the blessing of the saints. Some held in rememlirance a patron saint , whose lullueiicu and memory were of a merely local char acter , and n certain day In the year was set apart as a inemoritil and for Invoking his lullueiicu In the heavenly courts. When sub > -etUeiitIy | psipiu-y wns orgnnl/cd. gradiiallv the majority of the ClirNtlan congregutlotiH'aemli'd to papacy's claims llii't Its bishop Is the special vicar of Christ , winning in his stead and exercising his nuthorl'y. ' Many submitted themselves to this rule and thus were absorbed Into that great system which still holds sway In the world. It wns p.iptu-y tma es tablished "All Saints' Imy" 'is ' a holy day for the invocation of all .saints not otherwise pnrtli iiinrly provided lor by separate days of Invocation ; Although saints admittedly are rare few In comparison to professed Christians-nevertheless It seems there were enough so considered in the time of ( Jregut1 } l\ . to ni | | > r < > i > rlatu nearly all the days of the /our. In other words , there weie about III ! . " ) recognized iu Gregory's time-utter Christianity had been iu operation tor SdU years. Iluncu tomorrow will be the dny lor hnoUing the blessing of all the .saints of the past one thousand years , lint just how many or how tew they are , according to thu records of the cele brating ( . hurdles , wu do not surely know. If the records ot the llrst eight centuries were correct. Iu the same proportion we should not expect that thu total number of saints recognized would be above one thousand. One sad thought connected with the cele bration tomorrow must present itself to all thinking minds amongst the cele brants ; that Is , that only the saintly do they acknowledge ns ot holy char acter , lit for heaven , because thu uu- saintly. ( lie unholy , would certainly be unlit. Thu teaching ot papacy Is that since only thu saintly can be ushered into heaven at the time ot their death , all the unsnlntly. the undeveloped , they hold , must llrst experience nwtul tortures in Purgatory-lo purify thm. ; to make them ready for heaven. Protestants on the contrary have dis carded Purgatory , claiming that It Is nn unscriptural doctrine. They do not. however , claim that nny but the saint ly are prepared for heaven at death , nor that ( ! od has promised heaven to the untaught or undeveloped In Chris tian character. Hence In some respects the Protestant theory is still more grievous , more terrible , more nwful. for the bereaved than thu Catholic view. In that It offers no hope for all eternity to nny unsaintly. Prayers to the saints , we believe to be unscriptural - tural and unreasonable. Nowhere In the Bible are we authorized to pray to the dead-elther saints or sinners. On tt ? contrary the Scriptures set forth our Heavenly Father'as the supreme object of worship , though they do in timate the propriety of praying to our Lord Jesus'also. As we rend , "All men should honor the Son even as they hon or the Father" ( John v. a5i. But pray ers to the dead are unreasonable , ac cording lo thu Bible , which tenches' that "the dead know not anyihlnu" ( Eecleslustes lx. fli ; that "their .sons come to honor and they know It not to dishonor and they perceive it not oi them" ( Job xlv. 'Jli : and that " ! lu > ic N no work , nor device , nor know li-dg * > nor wisdom. In the grave , whlihei thou goes ! " ( Hecleslnstes ix. ( ) . The Scriptures do recognize the dlf- feTiice between the snltits. the Lord's holy ones , and the remainder of man kind. And It Is nssuredly true that the great masses of humanity are totally unfit for the glories and perfections of the heavenly stale. It Is ( rue that the Church Is called upon to develop lhei fruits and graces of the holy Spirit m > d Is nssured. as St. Peler declares.1 "if ye do these things , ye shall never fall ; for RO an entrance shall be min istered unto you abundantly into the everlasting Kingdom of our Loid and. Savior Jesus Christ" ( II Peter I. Hi. | But we hold ( hut It Is not only un scriptural. but Irrational , to believe that all mankind except the saintly de serve centuries of torment In Purga tory or an eternity of torture In n worse nnd hopeless place. Let UK take the Scriptural proposition , the only consistent one. the one which agrees with our five senses and with the Bi ble that the dead nre dead , and that resurrection from death Is what ( hey need and what our Lord'rf death will secure for every member ot our race. Let us accept this statement of the Bi ble , "Blessed and holy IB he that hath part In the First Resurrection , on puch the Second Death hath no power , but they shall be priests of ( iod and of Christ , and shall reign with him a thousand years" ( Itevelnllon xx , Hi. Let us accept the Scriptural explanation of that thousand years , thnt Millennial rt'inii ut JicAsluh-tlmt It will be a time of biasing , of uplifting mankind , and ihut therein ( he elect saints ot this uge will be privileged to co-uperute 'with ihelf Blu'rHied'Uedeeinerlfn brl'uK- tf about the uplift , the resurrection. the restitution of nil who will then prove willing and obedient. The term "saint" Is not a Hcctarlan one. It occurs over one hundred times In the Bible , mostly In the plural term , "saints , " Our text speaks ot a saint ly , or saiictlllcd class , and declines our Uedeemer to be one ot these- their Head , their Lord , lie ( let-lares that all the sanctified ol this ( iospel Age are one -ot one spirit and figuratively ot one Body. As tor In.siimcc. the House ot holds Is one body under a chair man , and the House ot Commons Is another body. The United States Sen ate is another ; and the House ot Itep- r -eiituilves is another. So the Church is the Body of Christ over which he Is the Head , the Presiding Ollcer ) and Member. Cut the point specially to l > o noticed is that nil who will belong iiliinmlel.N to this Church class which the Lord N iio\v calling and drawing from amongst men will ( every one of tlienn lie saints , every one of them be satu tilled. The weld sancillled" signifies to he set apart to holy usage or services , as distinct and separate trom any earthly luiibliioii , calling or business. Never theless these saiictllled OUCH are not merely the clergy or those without earthly responsibilities. While our heavenly Father Is a great King , the Kill } , ' ol tlie I'niverse , lie nevertheless has made a plan which enables even the humblest of his creatures to approach preach him tliioiigh the merit ot the blond of Jesus' , and by faith and obedi ence to the extent of Ills ability In sacrifice , to become a joint-heir with his Redeemer In tlie heavenly King dom. Thus the piesent call Is conlined to u cull lo saiietillcation. As St. Paul de < lares. "This is ( he will of Cod ( con- fcrnlng .loin , even your sanetllication * (1 ( Thess'ji Ionia ns Iv. ; { > . The won ! "saint" signifies "holj one , " snnctllied one. " "s-et apart ; " < < > l taken : is a whole. It signifies one sec apart to holy usnges. services , etc. We are iiiite | ready In admit that these are a comparatively s'mall number at the present time : as the Scriptures de- clan1 , "a little Hock ; " and again , "not many ; " and again , "few there be that Hnd it. " When we say that fed ! Is now select ing a spei lal cla s to he Joint heirs with Christ nnd that tie has deter mined that this special class shall con sist exclusively of the sanetllled. let us not he misunderstood to menu by this thai In the next age ( iod will accept to his favor the unsaiictilled. Hie wicked. The conditions during the Millennial Age will lie much easier for mankind than are present conditions of the Church , the elect , the saints. Now we must walk by faith : then we will walk by slu-lil. because Satan nnd sin and darkness will have passed away , nnd the light ot Truth will flood and cover the whole c.Tlh , so that , as Hie prophet says. "Thc.i shall teach no uore every man Ids neighbor , saying , know the Lord : for they shall all know me. from the least of them unto the greatest of them , snlth Hie Lord ( Jeremiah xxsl. | 'Mi. The tewards for obedient e to the Divine requirements In the Millennium will he the earthly rewnrils. eternal life or the earthly restitution plane. The reward proffered to those who' ' now walk the narrow way hy self-sue-1 rllice Is a spiritual one. glorv. honor and Immortality on the spirit plane. ' like unto the holy iingols-inul higher than this ; like unto our Lord Jesus In hN glorllled slate ; as seen bv the Apes tle. "Shining above the brightness of the sun al noonday" ( Ads xxvl. l.'li. j We must guard also against the | thought that the total number ot Coil's elect would lie as Hinall a number ns tlie calendar of the saints n'cugnb.ed hy some ot our Christian friends might imply. We hold that none Is able to , judge definitely on Illis stlbect. | except i the Master. He has given us general 1 Intlnmllons of the lines ol his decision. I but he has not permitted us in ileter-1 mine the matter , saying. "Judge noth ing before ( he time. " We are lo con- lent ourselves , therefore , with the thought that "the Lord kiiowcth them that are his. " and that he will accept no one who In any degree Is disloyal In heart , and that he will overlook and ' neglect no one who Is of the proper al- I tltude of heart. We understand , too , thnt our Lord Is no respecter of de nominational lines , but Unit. In every seel , he who loves Cod , and who ac cepts the merit of Christ by raith , and who presents Ills body n living sm-rl- bee dally Miito death In the Lord's pervlce all sin h are his dls < Iples and. us stated In our text. "He will not lie ashamed lo call them brethren. " But all of this , he It noted.
