28. Fanned by a strong west wind, fire practically obliterated the old village of Kingsbridge between 11 and 12 o'clock last night Forty structures, big and little, were burned, and seventy-five families were made homeless. Forty engines were on the spot during the progress of the blaze. They came from Riverdale, Spuy-ten Duyvil, Morris Heights, Fordham Heights and other villages, and several teams of horses were nearly ruined by hnrd driving to reach the place In time. The old village of Kingsbridge is situated near Spuyten Duyvil, near the spot where the original king's bridge stood.

It was founded more than 100 years ago, and many of the buildings destroyed were himlmarks known to three or four generations.

Jealousy. She daily combs his silky hair And bathes him with her own sweet hands. The sight o'er whelms me with despair. I do not think she understands. Of course, I would not wish her to Comb out my hair, or thinks like that, But, oh, it makes me very blue The way she treats her Persian cat.

She feeds him on the richest milk; On mutton chops and fish heU dine; No sofa cushion, down and silk, For him is deemed too soft and fie. I crave no food nor wish to sleep But lots of times with her I've sat And wished for what she seems to keep Entirely for her Persian cat. It's when she softly strokes his fur And murmurs pet names to the beast That I am provoked at her. j' She might call me just one at least. If I shouid yowl and pur like him.

If I were lazy, old and fat, I'd think my chances still more slim-But then I'm not a ptrsian cat. Chicago Daily News. Your Fault.

J.

M. Lewis, in Houston Post. Holding HantlM. The way was steep and tiresome, And hot the afternoon, Alone I walked, reluctant To reach my home too soon. Before me in the pathway, Near where the statue stands, There walked a son and father, And they were holding hands.

But, as I watched them sadly, The man in anger tlung Aside the liUie ringers That to his own had clung. I heard him say, ignoring The weary boy's demands; "It's hot enough, I reckon. Without our holding hands." Yes, little hands are clinging, And little feet will fall. But little hearts are tender And little lives are frail. If one I knew could only Come back to give commands, I'd gladly walk forever, Forever holding hands.

Milwaukee Journal. The Bloom of Life. Here In the quaint old parlor They sat as the twilight spent! Dreaming, only dreaming Of old-time sentiment. He with beard as snowy As the cap on her dear old head; Both are only dreaming Of the days long gone and sped. Out of the hasy September, As the shadows siowly creep, A form looms up In the twilight.

And ber pulses thrill and leap. He, In his fancy roving Back through the bliss and fears, Sees in the twilight waiting His love of the golden years. Into her eyes he's gating. Here while the sun sinks low; Both old faces are glowing With the bloom of long ago. Horace Seymour Kellar, in N.

T. Bus. The OU Via. Tr.e twisted vine may still be there To spread Its peaceful shad Above the winding pathway where A trelllsed arch was made; O'erhead the purple grapes may still Hang through In luscious rows, To. lure each breeie that o'er the hill In wanton gladness blows.

Perhaps the I(svce still rustle there, And still, perhaps, the dew QleRtns on the tempting clusters whsr The sunlight glances through. But one who used to lift me high That I might rob the vine Ah, does he share, up In the sky. The memory that's mine? -8. B. Klser, In Chicago Kecord-IIerald.

Stanton, In Atlanta CoastrtuUon, POEfcS flMU Librettist, It Is Said, Will Come Out of Hii Retirement in Rear Future. William S. Gilbert, of London, the greatest of comic opera librettists, la About to come out of bis retirement and Is again to take an interest in theatrical Affairs. That such a writer, one whose mere manner gave a new word to the (anguage, and whose phrases are quoted almost like those of Shakespeare, should prefer to remain silent so long, has been generally regretted. The music of the late Sir Arthur Sullivan, his collaborator, was most charming; but equally refreshing and amusing were the librettos written by Mr.

Gilbert. Sir Arthur Sullivan, without Mr. Gilbert, was a failure. It now remains to be seen whether the latter will be able WILLIAM S. GILBERT.

(Famous English Librettist May Again Start Us Laughing.) to find a suitable composer -to set his Amusing lyrics to music. That there are plenty of good music composers in poor librettists, has been made apparent the last few easons, in "Flprodora," "The Toreador" and other Ene-Hsh musical nrnductionS Therefore it'6eems quite possible that with the appearance again of Mr. Gil bert in the field, we may expect, in the next few years, a revival of the charming comic operas which for so many years beld the boards undisputed. It Is 45 years since Mr. Gilbert's name first became familiar to playgoers.

His first libretto to Sir Arthur Sullivan's music was produced In 1876, M. S. Pinafore." This was followed, in rapid succession and in the order named, by Pirates of Penzance," "Patience And "The Mikado." But since the production of "The Grand Duke," his last collaboration with Mr. Sullivan, eight or nine years ago, Mr. Gilbert has given the stage nothing whatever.

Sir Arthur Sullivan, his collaborator, died last year, and D'Oyly Carte, who built the Savoy theater in London, expressly to produce the works of Gilbert and Sul 11 van, has been dead several years.

Mr. Gilbert's librettos were suggested in all sorts of ways. "The Mikado," one of his most popular, for example, came Into his mind one day as he examined A Japanese sword that hung on the wall In his study. He wrote moBt of his plays, laid them away for a fortnight, and then rewrote them without referring to his original copy. He then compared the two, taking the best of each.

Sometimes this process was repeated a number of times. His work bas left him an independent fortune. HON. FRANK HANLEY. 'ffarett Folltlclaa Who la feeklaa Republican Nomination for Governor of Indiana.

-8. A special from Dawson says that steamers and cargoes valued at more than $2,000,000 remain exposed to the perils of the Yukon ice and frost, with little prospect of getting to places of safety for the winter. Some steamers have full I cargoes of perishable provisions, and these are certain to be ruined.
