REST.
Lot as rjst ourselves a hit
Worry? wave your hanrtg to it
Kibs your finger tips and smile
It farewell a little while.
Weary of the wary way
We have come from yesterday
Let as frot not instead
' Of the woai'T way ahead.
Let ns pause and oatoh onr breath
On the hither Bide of death
While we see the tendor shoots
Of tho grasses not the roots.
While we yet look down not up
To seok out the buttoreup
Aud tho daisy where they wave
O'er the greon home of tho grave
Lot us lannch as smoothly oa
Listless billows of the lttwn
And drift out across tho maiu
Of our childish dreams again
Voyage off beuoath the troos
O'er tbe field's enohnntcd seas
Whore the lilios are our Bails
And the seagulls nightingales
Where no wilder etorm shall beat
Than the wind that waves tbe whoat
An no t6mpo3U bunt above
The old laughs we used to love.
Loso all troubles gain reloaso
Langnor and exoeediug poace
emitting idly o'er the vast
Calm mid-ocean of the past.
Let ns rest ourselves a bit
Worry? wave your hand to it
Kiss your finger-tips and smile
It farewell a tittle while.

The Centennial Ball.
Union Sigual.
Never did nigh-toned Now York
make grcator preparations tban for
this ball. Metropolitan Opera bouse
was transformed into a tropical gar
den for it; every possible pains was
taken to make it exclusively an affair
of the elite from which the common
herd should be excluded. The pres-
ident and tho high dignitaries of tbe
nation honored it with their pres
ence; tne leading ladies ot tuo luuu
danced its opening minuet. But
another phase of its preparation nul
lificd all these and turned the bril
liant affair into a national disgrace
This was making the elegant supper
a Bacchanalian feast riot satisfied
with providing bountiful supplies of
wines what otuer liquors dopouont
saveth not the managers went to
Albany and secured special legisla
tbn to allow them to continue the
sals of liquor until 5 o'clock in tho
morning instead of stopping at 1
o'clock. 8 required by state law
This last precaution howover was
useless as the sequol provod for by
1 ociock that m.aguihcent supper
room had become tho scone of such
rioting chat the police were obliged
to clear it out.. We give an account
of the disgraceful proceedings as
given by the New York correspond
ont of tho Chicago Tribune. Had
this report appeared in a temperance
paper we should not have darod copy
it knowing it wonld bo considered
the prejudiced view of "thorn fanat-
ics." No such suspicion can attach
to the Tribune.
While reading the account we
could not help contrasting the scene
with the one witnessed in that same
Metropolitan Opera house Inst No-
vember when hundreds of Christian
women met there to pray and plan
for the overthrow of the nation's
curse. Ana we cannot noip wonder-
ing whether the Mail and Express
and other "hgh moral idea" papers
will shower down their anathemas
uuon this scone as they have dono
and are doing on the hoads of those
devoted women.
DRUNK fX DRESS SUITS.
While tho opening hours of the
centennial ball were in accord with
the high character of the oecasion
r.nd the scene in the Metropolitan
Opera house was brilliant the affair
became after nan-past twelve ociock
nothing less than disgusting and tho
respectable minority who remained
after that hour declared that it was
a disgrace to the occasion tho man-
agement and the city.
The scene in the supper room
shortly before 1 o'clock was a power
ful argument in favor of prohibition.
Groups of drunken lads with vacant
eves unsteady feet and reckless gay-
ety of speech were scattered about
tho place holding in meir iremonng
hands brimming wino glasses. Nat.
nrally enough tho floor was soon in a
terribly slippery and sloppy condi-
tion. The nois9 was deafening men

Many of the waiters addod to the
generul confusion which prevailed by
their nogligenoonnd insolence While
they eagerly banded out bottlo aftor
bottle of champagne to those who
''tipped" thorn it was almost impos
ble excopt in a fow instances to se
cure anytlnug to eat or drink with
out a compliance with thoir exaotions
Food was strewaviipon the floor tho
appearanco of the buffet and the
space behind it rapidly became unin
viting and tne noise and drunken
ness increased so tnuoh that about
twenty minutes past one Sergoant
Schniittbcrgor entered the room at
the head of somo twenty policemen
and announced that the sale of wine
must ceaso. The waiters who bad
been drinking freoly clamorously
protested that tbey had already
ceased to serve wine but several
struggles for the possession of smug
gled bottleB ensued. Tho waiters
engaged in n fight which resulted in
the contents of a wine glass being
spilled down a lady's neck maudlin
guests argued with the blue coats as
to the propriety of thoir interference
and pandemonium reigned. Finally
orders were givon to clear tho room
This proved a difficult matter. Tho
sober folks tried to haul their drun
ken frionds out of tbe way but with
mduTorent success. Somo of them
suceed however with the result that
ono or two scones occurred in the
corridors. A policeman seizod one
particularly disorderly individual at-
tired as were uoarly all tho drunkards
at this stage in a dress
suit and upon a determined
attempt at a rescue boing made by
his "aristocratic" frionde pushed him
into a closet and guarded the door
with the assistance of a fireman until
Inspoctor Steers arrived and suc-
ceeded in restoring peace. Moan-
while policemen firemen and several
queerly dressed tough-looking men
were eating their nil in the supper
room and three or four blue coats at
the door were repelling the attempts
of a half dozen more or less intoxi-
cated waiters to force an entrance.
Having left tho room these fellows
protested that thoy must be readmit-
ted but the police rofnsod to distin
guish between waiters and guests
and no one was allowed to enter.
several free fights were going on in
the supper rooms and naif a dozon
men were sprawling on the wino
soakod floor whon btuyvesant Fish
and Inspector Steers arrived on tho
scono and endoavored to accelerate
the clearance of the rooms.
This was finally accomplished
amid a crashing of glass and crock
ory which evinced the fall of many a
reluctant innividual until at Inst the
police by dint of pushing and rough
handling ejected tho last brawlor
and locked tho doors. In the mou s
cloak rooms a senrcoly less disgrace
ful scono was enacted. A line was
formed extending across the corridor
but slow progress was made and the
antics and remurks of the fugitives
from the upper rooms provoked
many quarrels. The scene in the
ball room was not edifying as the
hours wont on. Women wore danc
ing tnore and wcro even seated in
some of the boxes who were evi
dently to say the least affected by
their visits to tho supper room and
one ratuor pretty girl excited com
mont by her obvious lack of stcadi
ness while her escort was the sub
ject of considerable indignation as
he strolled across the floor at the
conclusion of a dunce with his arm
still around her waist. The strains
of "Homo Sweet Home" effectually
clearod tho ball room at 'a few min
utes past three o'clock
The Great French Celebration.
It would bo difficult conceive a cel
ebration more elaborate than that in
which tho French are now engaged.
The have begun the celebration of
the hundredth anniversary of the
opening of tho States General at Ver-
saillesbnt the groat day will be July
15' tbe hundredth anniversary of the
storming of the Bastilo.
What student of history is not
familiar with tho memorable events
which are now being recalled. Tbe
financial disorders the profligacy of
tho nobles the oppressive burdens
of taxation which oppressed the poor
are all matters of history familiar to
every schoolboy.

TRAGEDY OF A SCHOOL
It mar be easily understood that whon
ladies' Bomlnnry was opened In the
village a revolution wast brought about
In the little community. The students
were of a higher grade In apparel and
appearance in beauty and display than
the resident. Tho young men for the
Uret time in thoir lives saw women of
cultivation and physical attract! von ess.
The doiicate Hgures or the newcomers
their small and shapely foot and hands
their untannod complexions thoir wil
lowy groco thoir Jewels thoir rich
colors in dress eyes and complexion
were so much in contrast with wliat all
the young mon iiad hitherto known that
thoy became at once infatuated.
Old attachments were ruptured en.
gngomonts broken and over the face of
many a country girl lines of sorrow sup-
planted the plump smoothness of other
days. In the once pifclQo village there
was now incessant fog cloudiness and
storm. The somlnary became a apecies
of shrine; ono that comminglod the na
ture of a saint and a slnuer eomi-sen.
sual and semi-saored. Each Sabbath
young pilgrims from tho neighboring
farms thronged into the town sun
burned with long hair cowhide boots
and hats and ooata of all patterns and
arranged themselves along the street
over which the line of seminary girls
passed on their way to and from the
churches.
Vory naturally there grow up jealous
ies particularly among these young men.
Some of them thought that others were
more favored than thoinselvos. For a
long time tho principal of the somlnary
conducted his school with all tho soclu
slon of a convent There wore no social
evenings at the hall; none of the fair
students wore permitted to appear out-
side without a duenna and it was per
meated with all tho mystery security
and charm of a seraglio.
Two or throe persons wcro allowed
tho entrco and against these thero was
very naturally created dislike on tho
part of those debarred from tho charmed
precincts. One of them became partic-
ularly obnoxious. lie was a lawyer
named Bmith who lived on a patrimony
and such accessions as he gained from
tho small returns from tho practico of
his profession. Ho was a man about 40
years of ago slender almost to otuacia.
tion with a small bald head a sharp
pointed nose and ono eye the other
had been lost which was small and
which glittered with an expression as
of contempt on his unlucky rivals.
"Rivals" is the propor word. Mean
looking uncultivated and repel lan t as ho
was he had an open sesame to the sen).
innry building. He entered whon ho
pleased and no ver failed whon oppor
tunity offered to relate his visits and to
exaggerate Ills intimacy. Many of the
young fellows who while not A polios in
their faces and figures were neverthe
less Vulcans la their muscular strength
virilo as tigers and strong as giants be-
came frantic in thoir rage and humilia-
tion aa they heard this man detail his
visits. He was ono of the deformed

dise of houria whilo they manly robust.
were excluded
Among this class he bocamo an object
of furious hatred and exocration.
It was at this point In tho situation
that I came to tho vlllago to spend my
vacation and I soon became an active
partisan or the boys who hated tho man
tliat monopolized the entrance to the
seminary. Many a meeting was held at
which tho object of dislike was anathe
matized and schemes of vengeance were
devised.
1 was just from a neighboring collcgo
in which it was the custom to burn on
tho campus certain text books whose
study had been finished and it occurred
to mo that something of tho same kind
might be applied to tho obnoxious law.
yer. I outlined a scheme to tho effect
that on a certain or en ing at a specified
hour we should asscmhloln the principal
street bring an cfllgy of our enemy
which wo should Unit hang and then
consume it in a bonfire ine plan was
adopted by the boys with enthusiasm
and we at onco proceeded to carry it into
effect
The arrangement as Anally decided on
was at exactly 8 o'clock tho participant
were to assemble at tho barn of a family
narood Hryno In which wo were to stuff
an old suit or clothing witn nay and
then in procession bearing the figure at
our head we were to march through the
principal street to tho square whero'
there would bo an addreaa and then tbe
hanging and the burning of the cfllgy.
Now bore said the leader who was
myself "bo prompt and bo at tho Dryne
entranco ut exactly 8 o clock and we II
have more fun in ten minutes than you
can shako a stick at' "
The "fun" which reaultod was not of
the kind anticiiiatod.

agreeable reductions. Wa wuta about to

At tlil period there was a vacation in
tho seminary. The girl had moatly goo

for nthur reasons remained during the) va-
cation. One of tbeao a girl named Anna

a lltild and the subaoquon. chat waa -tinctured
with a flavor of sadness. We
talked in a tone which booamo a trifle
sentimental in it nature and the min-
utes flew away without attracting attetv'
tion. I happened finally to glance at my
watch and saw that it was five minute
to a
"I must go at once" I said.
"So soon?" sho said In a voice of re-
monstrance. "Yes I am sorry to say but I have an
imperative engagement
"And I shall not see you again before
you gof"
"I'm afraid not . The atngo leave at
6 o'clock In the morning hour before
you will have loft dreamland"
Her Jong lashes fell over her eye.
"You will give mo a good-by kiss
won't youT
She drew herself back as If frightened
or offended.
"No no; not bo far as that"
"You are unkind and unreasonable. I
only ask one. We may never see each
other again."
Sho still kept horsolf away from me I
persisted in my importunity. At last
she bent toward me. '
"Once then" she murmured in afalnt
voice. I touched hor lips with mine and
at the prociso moment of contact the
heavy sullen report of a gunshot rang
through tho air. It was from tho direc-
tion of the Dryne house and I folt a
deadly thrill in my heart as if had been .
pierced by a bullet. . I sprang down the
steps and ran In the direction of the re-
port "
It was just at dusk permitting objects
to bo dimly seen. At the distance of a
block I saw two or three figures scatter-
ing from tho front of tho Dryne house
Ono of them came toward me with a
wabbling staggering gait like a men
far in the stages of intoxication and '
who at every step gave utterance to a
cry like the inarticulate howl of a wild
beast ' Just as ho reached me he tum-
bled at my foot In a lump the froth cover-
ing his upturned mouth. He was an op-
lleptio named Handford and I saw that
he bad a fit I was about to raise him
up when he suddenly aftor writhing
convulsively in the dust staggered to his
foot end ran on howling like a tortured
demon.
Thero was a commotion In the narrow
alley that led across tho Bryne place to
the barn. A voice shrieked t "You've
killed hlml You've killed html"
I rushed Into the alley and saw just
beyond the entrance a form lying on the
ground over which was bent another
trying to raise it up by the shouldora
while a little father on was a man who
menaced the two with a revolver. .
Qo way from horo" said the man in
a hourso harsh voice.
I shall not" said the one bending
over tho fallen figure. "It is my brother."
Tho man with the rovouror backed
away pointing it at them a he loft -
I recognized all throe of tho party
The prostrate form was that of the eldest
of the Dryne brothers tho second who
bent over him was another brothor and .
the third man with tho weapon wo a
cabinetmaker named Glasser. .
Attracted by tho shot some neighbors
had gathered and by them was borne
into tho houso the wounded boy. Ho
had been shot through the lung by a ball
from a navy rovolver. Medical aid and .
priest for the Dryne wcro Roman
Catholics were summoned. Neitbor
availed to cure him; within a few hours
be wa dead.
The horror with which I contemplated
the awful result cannot be told. Had
Anna not coquettishly refused mo the
kiss; had sho conceded it when first
asked I should havo been on time at the
gate and would have roceived the bullet
shot through tho body of poor Bryne.
Her little hesitation saved one life and
lost another.
Glasser lived In a liouse a half a block
away' and thither tho town constable
with a posse proceeded Boon after tbe
shooting. Ho was found in bed and.
fast asleep.
Ulasser waa a frenchman by birth
who had wandered about tho world a
good deal who had been to California
and who had at last reached the town ta
which the homicide was committed.
At his trial it was shown for the de
fense that ho wa unused to tho ways of
tho country; that ho had secured the re-
volver in hi California experience; that
ha waa a dependent upon the lawyer and.
hearing that tbe boy of tlie village were
making preparations to hang him he had
determined to defend lilru and knowing
tho programmo had placed himself in the
alley liowa shown to be pacifio and
harmless in h la average life and a church
member In good standing. He wa given
