Adown Ibe years they come to me From out the crypts of time, With half-forgotten melody And faintly-falling rhyme; With here and there a broken chord, A mining word or phrase; But sweet angel whispers are The songs of by-gone days. A snatch of college-drinking song, A Terse of cradle hymn, A bar of tender serenade. Bang when the stars were dim ; The truant strains they come and go Like sparks in smoky haze A tangle of sweet memories, The songs of bygone days. And as the measures float along Like shadows, o'er the sea, Across the drifting bloom of years Lost faces smile on me; Eyes dimmed in death's eternal night Meet mine In friendly gaze I kits the marble lips that sang Those songs of bygone days. Old times touch hidden chords in hearts Long mute with age or pain. And give us for a fleeting space Lost faith and hope again, Within yon Oloudlan's Faraway, Where swell the hymns of praise, God grant the angel's sometimes sing The songs of bygone days !

Sticking to Their Programme in the. House Against the Republicans. BUT LITTLE ACCOMPLISHED. SeaatePassed the Fortifications and lav mlf ration Bills-Other Measares Con sidered Debate oa the Aldrich Bood Deposit BUI. By Telegraph to the Morning Biar. Washington, February 28. The Democrats stuck to their filibustering programme In the House to-day and even under the operation of the special rules adopted yesterday the majority's progress with appropriation bills and conference reports was ex ceedingly slow and laborious. The Democrats forced a roll call on every proposition and compelled the reading in extenso of everything presented. Every parliamentary expedient was seized to delay matters and at the end of a session of over nine hours, the House, completely worn out, at 8:05 o'clock to-night took a recess until noon to-morrow (Bunday). There was no sign of the Democrats abating their opposition. The reading clerks to ntcht were exhausted by the long strain of trying to make themselves heard above the ceaseless din and eon fusion on the floor. There were fif teen roll calls and two calls of the House. The feature of the day was the pas sage of the Senate Omnibus Publio Building bill, with House amend ments, which later increased toe total carried by the bill to over $6,000,000. The leaders who opposed the bill did not attempt to defeat It, and It passed under suspension of the rules. Mr. Mann, .Republican, Illinois, took occasion during the debate upon it to charge "collusion" between the architect and the contractor of the Chicago building. Mr. Gaines, Demo crat of Tennessee, during the discus sion of a conference report bitterly ar ralgned the authorities for selling the "sacred relics" of the White House, including, he said, a side-board whicb, he said, had been presented to Mrs. Hayes by the W. C. T. U., and whicb, he satd, was now reposing In a Wash ington brewery. The men who secur ed the side-board, Mr. Gaines said, had secured other sacred relics, sold as Junk, and Intended to fit up a "White House saloon," at the Bt Louis Expo sition. Mr. Gaines . said that other valuable mementoes of other days, in cluding a mirror presented by Count Rochambeau and bronzes presented by General Patterson to President Jack son, bai been sold as Junk. Mr. Grosvenor, Republican, of Ohio, denied these chsrges, saying that nothing but "second-hand furni ture" had been sold. "When Madison was President," in terrupted Mr. Cannon, "it is related that the washing was hung in the esst room. My God," he ejaculated, with mock gravity, "what has become of the clothes line ?" Amid the peals of laughter that this evoked the debate ceased. The net result of the day's session was the sending to conference of the Naval and Fortifications appropriation bills, the adoption of the conference reports on the Railroad' Safety Ap pliance bill and the Military Academy appropriation bill, the passage of the Omnibus Public Building and the bill to settle the account of officers during the Spanish war period, and the adop tion of the Senate amendments to two other comparatively unimportant measures. Senate Proceedlefs. The Senate to-day passed the Forti fications appropriation bill and the House Immigration bill with amend ments. The General Deficiency bill, the last of the appropriation measures toba considered, was reported from committee. The greater part of the day was given up to the consideration of the Aldrich bond deposit bill, which was debated at length, but upon which a vote was not reached. The Senate agreed to take up the Aldrich bill by a vote of 43 to 18. The vote displaced the Statehood bill as the unfinished business. Mr. Berry, of Arkansas, opposed the Aldrich bill, on the ground that it ex tends and enlarges the powers of the Secretary of the Treasury. It permits him, he said, to select a particular class of national banks with whom he will deposit money. But he cannot extend the privileges to any State bank, al though It might be more solvent or equally so as the national bank. He declared that the law would be used for political purposes and for favorit ism. Continuing, he said: "No won der J. Plerpont Morgan to day, by reason of the transactions he has had with different secretaries of the treasury has gained such an immense fortune, such a control over the busi ness organization that he is more powerful even than the President him self." An amendment was offered by Mr. Clay, of Georgia, requiring the secre tary of the treasury, so far as practic able to fairly distribute the deposits authorized. Mr. Clay called attention to the provision for the acceptance of bonds of any city or county which has been In existence for a period , of twenty-five years and said that If en acted into law it would practically out law the new States. Mr. Turner said the bill proposed the f rosiest piece of favoritism to a class n this country who already have been too highly favored by laws which have been enacted. It was the old sub treasury scheme he said, of the old Populist - party, except that the bene ficiaries under it are the national banks and not the farmers. The Populist measure had been laughed to scorn and this would share the same fate. Mr. Hoar criticised the bill as con taining no protection against favorit ism and advocated the adoption of Mr. Clay's amendment. Mr. Berry then moved to displace the Aldrich bill with the Anti-Trust bill, but the motion was defeated by a party vote, except that Senators Hoar, Nelson and Mason voted in the affirm ative with the Democrats. The rote stood 80 to 41. Consideration of the Aldrich bill then was resumed. Mr. Bailey said he intended to vote for the bill, say ing that his course would be accen tuated by his aversion to the accumu lation of money in the treasury. He explained, that he was not only op posed to keeping the surplus in the banks, but against a system of taxa tion that would make a surplus. As, however, he could not have his way about the accumulation he wan will ing to unite with senators in taking the next best course, which wan to distribute the money already col lected. He said it was inconsistent for the Democrats to. demand an ex Tcke Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets. Seven M!Sc boxes sold bp 13 months. Tfcb SfBStCre, pansion of the currency and at the same time vote to look up the money we bave. Mr. Blackburn, of Kentucky, op posed the bill. He said that under its provisions the banker oould take mocey from the treasury vaults by paying It per cent upon it aid tbeu loan it nut at a rate of -interest "known only to the banker and the Lord " He was, he said, opposed to rational babks upon principle and he considered tbis bill as merely au enlargement of tbe functions of tbe national bank. He admitted that there ia a cougesliou of money in the treasury, but charged that this circumstance is due to tbe system of over-taxation, which he op posed. Coming to Mr. Morgan as an illua tration," said Mr. Blackburn, "would be not find, himself in 'possession of such collateral as would enable him to draw out some of the surplus! ' Mr. Aldrich I do not know. Mr. Blackburn Has le any such security now!" Mr. Aldrich I again answer that I do not know. Mr. Blackburn Neither do I, but I suspect he has. - Mr. Aldrich stated that Mr. Morgan could not get the government money from the treasury unless he could sup ply the kind of security demanded by tbe terms of the bill. Mr. Blackburn gave notice of his in tention to offer the Littlefleld Anti Trust bill as an amendment to the pending bill. Mr. Teller also said that the reve nues should be reduced, whereupon Mr. Aldrich asked the Colorado sena tor if he would co-operate with the Re publican aide of the chamber at the next session in reducing the revenues, "which,"' he added, "we shall certain ly undertake to do, provided there la a surplus." Mr. Teller replied that he would be found willing to lend his aid in the directions indicated, and aaid that be believed the Democrats would ail b found of one mind in that respect. The bill then was temporarily laid aside and the conference report on the District of Columbia Appropriation bill wan agreed to. The Immigration bill was then taken upland passed, with an amendment of fered by Mr. Bacon, excluding anar chists. The Senate took a recess until 11 o'clock to-morrow, when a session will beheld for the purpose of delivering eulogies upon deceased members of the House. Jade Story's Money. In 1820 Josiah Quincy, then a young man but recently graduated from Har vard, was invited by Judge Story, a member of the supreme bench, to ac company him to Washington. In "Fig ures of the Past" Mr. Quincy gives an Incident of the Journey from Boston to Washington which was made by stage coach: The first night of our Journey was spent at Ashford. in Connecticut, where we arrived late in the evening, and here the bother of wildcat curren cy, as it was afterward called, was forced upon our attention. The bills of local banks would not circulate beyond the town in which they were Issued, and when Judge Sto ry, who had neglected to provide him self with United States notes, offered the landlord a Salem bill in payment for his supper the man stared at it as If it had been the wampum of the In dians or the shell money of the south sea Islanders. "This is not good," said tbe host, "and I think you must know it" "I know it is good," retorted the judge testily. "And I'll tell you how I know it I made it myself!" This reply, of which the landlord could make nothing, unless it were the confession of a forger, did not mend matters, and it was fortunate that 1 had provided myself with some nation al notes, which ended the difficulty. The explanation was that Judge Story as president of a Salem bank bad signed the bill. .. A Yellow Dear Vertm a. Book Aaent. We used to bave a yellow dog at home that always recognized book agents and tramps at sight. It made no difference how well or bow poorly an agent was dressed, that dog knew him and stopped him. If he was dressed like a preacher and Insisted on coming in, he didn't look like a preach er when he went away. One sultry summer day an extra swell book agent descended upon us. He was tall and slender made more so by bis silk hat was straight as an arrow and walked with the light, springy step of a trotting horse. He wore a ueat cutaway coat, a white vest, newly pressed trousers and patent leather shoes on which the Bunbeams skipped like spring lambs. He seemed to be fortune's chief favorite. As ha approached the gate his Bky was se rene. No cloud appeared anywhere. But alas for what was just over tbe hori eon! Under the evergreen tree, wher two or three hens lay scratching In the dost, was stretched tbe yellow cur, tak ing l midday nap. Tbe Instant that r.K : ii.-ind touched the latch his sky wu '! The air was soon chaotic with swinging arms and legs, coattalls, plug hat and cries of "Murder!" The corn in that Immediate neighbor hood was never harvested. As tbe dog lay down again to pick the shoddy out of his teeth a torn and tat tered man limped away, "Confessions of a Book Agent" in Leslie's Monthly. WARM WIRELETS. D. E.

"She dropped her handkerchief this morning near the dining room door, and when I called ber attention -to the fact she merely said, Thank you, and hurried on before I had a chance to say another word." This in an in jured tone from Miss Berger, who was sorting embroidery silks. "You should be grateful that she even thanked you," Dan Marlove re plied idly. ; "She. despises men doesn't want to meet any one." "Imagine a summer girl who despises men!" murmured Dan. - "Perhaps she wants to bury herself from the world and nurse a bruised and tortured heart," suggested Miss Allen, who was tall, angular and tailor made In carriage and dress. "Perhaps she has a past she wants to forget," suggested Miss Grayson, a bit maliciously. Walter Raymond hard ly heard tbe gossip. He was back in the city. The sharp clang of tbe eje-vated- trains rose above the laughter and murmur of voices on the porch. He was thinking of tbe girl who morn ing after morning had boarded the same train with him at One Hundred and Sixth street. He remembered how be had learned to watch for her, to study her little tricks of catching up vagrant locks of hair, of holding- ber skirt and swinging her purse. He re membered how disappointed he had been on several occasions when be had missed that train. She never missed It Then be pushed back bis bat The figure was disappearing beyond the line of gray rocks leading to the cove. He wondered if, after all, it was not fate. Pretty Bessie Kavanagh was not a man hater on general principles; nei ther was she recovering from the after effects of a heart tragedy. She was simply exhausted by ten months of un remitting, exacting service as private secretary to a prominent insurance man, who was more dependent than he cored to admit upon his capable stenographer.

"Think of it! Three long, beautiful weeks with that magnificent sea! Ob, I know it will sing me to sleep tonight!" The hostess of Sea Cliff cottage fol lowed the new arrival to her room In the "L." She was a tired, busy soul, and somehow she had liked the brief, businesslike letters Miss Kavanagh had written. "I hope you'll be comfortable, Miss Kavanagh, and have a good night's rest There's a sailing party starting out early tomorrow morning, and" "Thank you, but I'm a wretched sail or. I think I'll be perfectly satisfied with tbe beach." "Well, you'll get acquainted after a b(t There's some real nice young peo ple here this year." Miss Kavanagh hesitated a minute, then With a winning smile replied: "Thank you again, but I'll consider It X great favor, Mrs. Brown, if you don't introduce me to the other boarders. What I need is to be alone away from people if I am to go back to my work rested. You won't think me ungra cious, will you? But, really, If once I meet them, you know, 111 be drawn ln-( to the swim." Tired little Mrs. Brown left the room feeling half dazed. Here was a newj boarder who was satisfied with Just, tbe sea.

The days rolled on happily, peace fully, for. Bessie Kavanagh. For Wal ter Raymond it was a feverish proces sion of hours that brought him ever nearer to the end of his . vacation, with no prospect of meeting Miss Kava nagh. He scorned the ordinary means of making a seaside acquaintance.' The landlady had told him quietly, but firmly, that .Miss Kavanagh did not Care to be introduced to any one. He was beginning to feel that, after all, if was not fate when the telegram appeared. Not that It was the first telegram Miss Kavanagh had received. Her. employer had been obliged to. consult her by wire on an average of once a: day ever since her arrival. Raymond was smoking on the shady, side of the. porch. The messenger toss-' ed him the yellow envelope, saying: ' . "Answeran tell her to be quick.' Got another message here for the Bur ton cottage." Raymond's feet came down from the railing "tihe porch witiCa'bangi The cottage was wonderfully quiet. He finally found Mrs. Brown in the kitch en. "Oh, dear, another telegram for Miss Kavanagh. And Albert's gone to tbe store. I can't leave this strawberry; Jam, or it '11 burn. Would you mind, Mr. Raymond, Just to take that to her room?" Would he 'mind? Perhaps it was fate, after all, in the form of a dusty, messenger boy. A minute latter be was stalking down the cool, dark entry, leading to Miss Kavanagh's door. His knock was answered by a gentle "yes." "A telegram, and the boy Is waiting, for a reply," he called rather hoarsely! for be felt oddly nervous. Tbe door opened just wide enough for the message to be placed in a tanned, but gracefuMiand. There were a rustle of skirts, the scratch of a pen, then a quick step toward tbe door. The same band, a prettily curved wrist and a half bare arm, over which fell a lace ruffle, were thrust through the narrow aperture. "Thank you, Albert; there's the an swer. The dime is for yourself." By desperate effort Raymond re frained from bending over to kiss the arm so temptingly close. "Thank you. Miss Kavanagh. but this is not Albert. It's Mr. Raymond, but I'd like to keep the dime if A gasp, and the door opened far enough to show a blushing face and a mass of tumbled, waving hair. "Oh, Mr. Raymond, I I am so sorry I beg your pardon." Then remember ing her tumbled locks, she shut tbe door fast, and whispered through the keyhole: "I I'll see you some other time." The messenger boy departed with wonder in his soul. Raymond bad tipped him 50 cents, an unheard of extravagance at Pigeon Cove. But Miss Kavanagh's dime formed no part of the exorbitant tip, for, polished and emblazoned with a certain monogram, it now graces Raymond's watch chain. And Raymond says that Mrs. Brown of Sea Cliff cottage Is surely coming to tbe wedding, for If she bad not been stirring strawberry Jam and sent him to deliver Miss Kavanagh's telegram it never would bave happened. Which goes to show that Mr. Raymond has transferred bis faith from fate to "tips." THREE MEN KILLED. Trala Wreck oa tke New York Central at Syracuse, N. Y. By Telegraph to tbe Horning Star.

" When Macmonnles, tbe American sculptor, was a young man working in Paris, Falguiere, the famous French sculptor, on one occasion entered, his atelier and found there a beautiful Diana that bad been for months "on the stocks" and was approaching a perfection measurably satisfactory to the sculptor himself. Falguiere became so absorbed in the work before him as to forget that it was not bis own. He began to twist and pull the dainty limbs of Diana this way and that, to punch ber in the ribs, turn her queenly head for she was thon only In clay, of course, and sus ceptible to impressions until at last be had produced the very pose he de sired. "There, my friend; I like her better so," he cried and skipped out of tbe studio. He had really intended to do Mac monnles a favor and had indeed paid him the greatest compliment of which be waB capable, but the young sculp tor was In distress, for on comparing the remodeled Diana with a photo graph of Falgulere's statue of tbe same character he found the French man had unconsciously made a prac tical replica of the other. Macmon nles did not rest until he had restored bis statue to its original pose. CASTOR I A For Infants and Children.
