MOTHER DIED TO-NIGIIT.

The last sad words of,

The last heart-blessing that she gave
to me, i
Theadmonitlon that all went amiss,
And what God ne'er can give her
farewell kiss; j
The fadeless picture M he knelt to
pray
That the might meet me up above
some day. r
"Your mother died tonight" Is all it
aid,
As o a the throbbing wire the tidings
sped -From
that old, happy home, from
which I came,
To strive anew for honpr and for fame,
To moil with will td win a golden
store
To lay In solemn snppllance at her
door;
But shattered are the hopes, unnerved
the mlghf,
By that sad message, 4 Mother died to
night." .

Gone the gray hair, toe eyes that wept

Paris, August 3. Several Nation
alist deputies, representing Paris,
waited on Premier M. Combes to-day
to ascertain the government's further
attitude towards the religious schools.
M. Combes informed them that appli

schools could not suspend the action of
the association law, and that such
schools would not be allowed to re-open
until the Council of State had rendered
decisions regarding these applications.
They might, however, re-open with
lay staffs and he was considering
means to expedite the consideration of
applications by tbe Council of State.
The premier said there were 13,000
such applications waiting attention.
Tbe (socialists nave arranged an anti
clerical demonstration for the Place
Maubert, in the Latin quarter to-morrow,
and the Clericals also announce a
meeting to protest against M. Combes'

How Little Bel Got the 8pool of 8 1 Ik
and the Banana.
One morning little Bel was sent
by her mamma to the "button
store" to match a spool of silk. : She
had often been trusted on such er
rands, though only four years old,
and very proud she used to feel as
she trudged along, helping mam
ma." "Be sure and get just that shade
of blue and come right back, little
daughter," Baid mamma as she kiss
ed her goodby. !
"Yes, ma'am," was the Bturdy an
swer. Now, on the way to the button
store there was a fruit stand, and
Bel often used to look at it with
longing eyes. This morning she
saw something she had not seen for
a long time great,1 beautiful red
bananas. If Bel liked anything in
the world, it was ai banana. She
wondered -how much they would
cost. Then Bhe thought she would
ask. "Five cents." '. Why, she had
just 5 cents in her fat lingers that
very minute ! Before you could
think 6he hadn't S cents at all, but
had the banana instead.
Do you think sie went right
home ? Not she. She marched
straight to the button store and,
standing on tiptoe, reached her
sample above the counter, saying:
"My mother wants a spool of silk
like this." !. .
The lady smiled down at the
mite, matched the silk carefully and
handed it to her. I
"Fank you," said Bel. She never
forgets her manners.'
"But, little girl'icalled the lady,
"didn't your mamma send any mon
ey for the Bilk?"
"Yes'm, but I buyed a banana."
And before the lady could stop
laughing she was on' the street, hur

Rush For Public Office.
The people of New York do not,

are at present on the various eligi
ble lists for positions in the com
petitive schedules about 4,500 names
and on the registration lists for po
sitions in the labor schedule 3,512
names. In addition fo the above,
the commission has on hand the ap
plications of 13,194 persons who
nave applied for positions in the
competitive class and 26,879 of the
labor class. Over 10,000 of these

A. Relic of the Maine.
, A curious find has just been made
at Samrishamn, in Sweden. At low
water a sailor discovered among the
stones on the beach of Mnssakas
bay there a teaspoon of brass. After
cleaning it he . found engraved on
the inside the picture of a man-of-war,
with the words "Maine" and
"6,600 tons." The spoon would
therefore appear to have belonged
to the ill fated Maine, sunk in Ha
vana harbor in the spring of 1898,
and it needed four years for the
Ocean currents to wash this tiny ob
ject ashore on the coast of southern
Sweden. - ! -

A SPECTRAL
. , SEA FIGHT
; " . ? iOrlglnaU) j
It was the of September, 187?.
'..its iilooe oa a wreck Jo. the German
ocean. 1 There were neither provisions
nor uicans of propelling the vessel, ' X
gave uijstlf up tor lost ; ."
' I was lying ;on the deck only partly
conscious when I heard, or thought 1
heard, a ship's beil. It stick six times, .
and I knew: that the hour was 7 o'clock.
I knew it was evening, i for the . full
moon mingled, its rays with the long
twilight of that high latitude. Rising,
I crawled to the gunwale and looked
over the starboard quarter. '
A vessel flying' the stars and stripes
was sailing past with all her canvas
set And what a vessel! ' She was
built up vey high in the poop and cat
away at the bow, a sort of prow pro
jecting with a figurehead. She was a
man-of-war, with ports open, showing
the muzzles of her guns. I counted
fourteen guns on her main deck and
four astern onl a deck below. This was
her broadside. I The officers wore a
.uniform which I had seen in pictures
"of a hundred or more years ago. A
slender man stood on the quarter deck
with a glass to his eye. Looking in the
direction it pointed, I saw another ship
similar in I build, also a man-of-war.
The British ensign was at her peak.
There were I other vessels scattered
about, but! I took no notice "of them,
being profoundly interested in these
two, evldently-nbout to meet la combat
, - The American wore ship and backed
his topsail; bringing , his j broadside to
bear on the1 Englishman. I saw a man
on the latter cry out, evidently to hall
the other, but heard no sound. A sec
ond time Ihe hailed. ' I saw smoke
plumes leap from the American's side,
and still I tiedrd no sound.
I was to6 weak to stand longer and
sank back) on the deck. ! On the one
hand was the moon silently mounting
the sky, oil the other the; fierce though
silent battle. Both passed from my
vision for ft time, for I became uncon
scious, but when I recovered and rose
to look over the gunwale there were
the two men-of-warlocked in an em
brace of war. i ' j f.
It was ' now night, and I could see
only by moonlight The American, waa
lashed to j the Englishman's forward
anchor. The;' man I had seen on the
quarter deck was firing shots at his ene
mies, who seemed to be endeavoring to
cut the .vessels, loose. Marines were
loading the pieces for ' him, and he
picked off ievery man who approached
the. laBhlngs. Meanwhile the Britjsher
was firing; her guns right through the
American's main deck. I could see that
the American's, dark bulk had settled
in the water.! Then a light burst forth
between decks. "She will burn if she
does not sink," I said, V and she will
sink If she does not burn'
And then came the strangest thing of
alL I could see by the firelight men
on the doomed Vessel balling water
that was sinking the ship to put out
the fire. Lashed to a stronger ship,
burning, sinking, broadsides continual
ly pouring1 through her,! she was still
endeavoring ' to conquer. Was there
Over pluck like that on sea or land?
Surely there mast be some god of war
on that Wrecked vessel to breathe the
Bpirit of Invincibility into its uncon
querable crew.
And there! was. On the deck stood
the slender man, he who with his own
hands .kept bis enemy from the laBh
lngs, lighted by fire and moon, ges
ticulating, doubtless swearing, direct
ing every detail, every man to do the
part assigned him, and inspiring all
with his own marvelous courage.
.The American had ceased firing with
her cannon, f At any rate, she was so
wrapped with the other In smoke that
If she fired I could not telL Sailors
with muskets were on the foretop, the
maintop, the mizzentop; marines were
on the quarter deck, the poop deck and
top of the roundhouse. They were fir
ing muskets and hand grenades, but as
their enemies were all on tbe lower
deck theji were protected. Men crawl
ed out on a yardarm of the American
and dropped hand grenades on the
enemy, one of which fell in an open
hatcl'-vnyj and exploded below with a
terrllic sound. Soon after this a sailor
leaped over the Britisher's rail, fol
lowed by! boarders, and. in a few min
utes the I British ensign was hauled
down.
This is the last I remember of the
night When I came to consciousness
again, the sun stood where the moon
had been' and was blinding me with
bis intense- light. Rising. I swept the
horizon wlthTny eye. Not a vessel was
in sight I The sea rolled on smoothly,
silently, as if It had never been dis
turbed by the reverberation of guns.
One effect remained : with me. If
those men on that burning, sinking ves
sel could conquer" why should I de
spair? Going below, I found fishing
tackle and an ax. With the ox I sacri
ficed my own finger and with this for
bait caught a fish.; I had matches in
my pocket and made a .fire, heated sea
water and, condensing the stenm, had
water again, this . time that 1 could
drink. In this fashion I lived till I was
picked up by an American cruiser.
I told my story to the cruiser's cap
tain. He listened to me patiently and
when I was through said:
"My man; you were used up and un
der the influence of hallucination. You
must have read of the famous sea fight
that occurred where you were on' the
23d of September, 1775), Just a century
before." j f
"What sea fight was that?"
"The Bonhomme Richard and the
Serapls.", i ' ..

8tory of the Letter "I."
The small letter 5" was former
ly written without the dot over it.
The dot was introduced in the, four
teenth century to distinguish
from "e" in hasty and indistinct
writing. The letter "i".was also
originally used where the "j" is now
employed, the distinction, between'
the two having been introduced by
the Dutch writers in comparative
modern times. The "i" was orig
inally dotted because the "i," from
which it is derived, was written with
a dot over it. New York World.-
