"We had er splendid ineetin' ov ther ly
ceum last week." said President Blatz last
Wednesday night, alter he had called tho
Lyceum to order and rebuked Cyclone
llaney for spitting on the stove, "an' to
night I have prepared a program that I
think will be very profitable to all mem
bers ov tills sereiety. It is different from
ther ataggin' match that yer witnessed last
week. Yer see. boyees. I want ter rind
out how yer literary educashun has been
toot care on, an' 1 thought
et would be er good idee ter
try yer fust on poetry, as 'tis er •'*" " ••* <r<>od
thine to have er good
idee ov poems an' who
writ them. Now. what
1 purpoze ter do ter
night, is ter recite er
line er two ov poetry,
au' ask envy man in
ther lyceuni ter tell me
who writ ther poem.
au ter tell me ez much
as he knows erbout
tlier author. Ther fust lines thei occur t^r
me iz *Ther boy stood on iher burnin deck."*
"I reckon I know who wrote that, 7 '
6aid Clothesline Williams standing up.
'•it was a feller by the name of Casa
blanca. He kept a bananua stand in Rome
during the lirst part of the fifteenth cen
tury. He was a bis poker player and
gambled the most of his money away, and
allowed his family to go without their daily
bread. This made his son hot in the collar,
and getting hungry one night, he started
out to look up the old mau to pet a nickel
to buy a sandwich. He found him out
back of the barn playing poker with three
other Romans, and it made him so mad
that he crabbed the cards and setting fire to
them with a Roman candle, he threw them
on the ground and stood on them. Casabi
anca was so overcome by the heoric action
of his son, that he reformed, and to eoin
inemerate the event wrote the beautiful
poem, the first line of which reads, "The
boy stood on the burning deck."
"Good, /? Bald Bkitz, when Williams had
finished. "1 see you hey studdied litera
ture in your spare time, au' hey profited by
yer industry. Ther next line thet occurs
ter me is this: 'Whene'er I take my walks
abroad.'
Cross-eyed Sam slowly rose to his feet
and said: "Mr. President, I remember that
poem and the feller who wrote it. His
name was Two-faced Bill. He was born
in the southern portion of Missouri, of rich,
but honest parents. He played in a
stock company in a theater in St. Louis
awhile tor 84 a week. After awhile his
salary was raised to 84 a week and ap
plause. As soon as he got the raise, his
head began to enlarge and he started
through the country on a starring tour. It
is not known who furnished him transpor
tation, but it is suspected that lie furnished
it himself, as he was found dead on a railroad
one day and in his pocket was found a
paper on which he had written the poem
the tirst line of which is:
"WHKNK'EK 1 TAKE MY WALKS ABROAD.'"
"I am surprised ter find yer so well up
in literature. Sam." said Blatz. "I hey er
line in mind now thet I think will stick
yer; it is, 'She wore her hair away from her
forehead.'"
Oinaha Bob slowly climbed to his feet
and said: "I happened to be readin' thet
poem a few days ago, au' I suppose that's
why I remember it. It was composed by a
woman named Mrs. E. B. Browning, and
it is said that she wrote the
poetry about herself. The circum
stances as near as I can fiud
out are these. When Mrs. Browning was
about 16 years old she wanted to wear a
number nineteen corset on a number thirty
lour waist. This idea didn't meet with the
approval of her mother, who believed in
everybody encouraging the growth of their
appetite, and she refused to allow Her
daughter to squeeze her number thirty-four
yearn for food into a nineteen-inch circle.
This worried the girl and she would go out
in the woodshed, when work was slack in
the kitchen, and pound her forehead on the
Baw-horse, She did this so much that she
wore the hair all off the front part of her
head and she wrote a poem describing
her misery, in which the line
you have just recited occurred.
"Tour'e 'er dandy," said Blatz. "There
appears to be more talent in this lyceum
than I se;posed there wus. Caa any ov
you tell me who wrote the line Onward
rolls the royal river?"
"I can," answered Penhollow Swipes,
standing up, "it was written by a Roman
named Alamagoozilum, who was born in
Windham county. Connecticut, a few days
before a hpavy freshet He was a voun°-
kidtet this time,
and Noah tak
ing a fancy to
him, sent him
to the Ann Ar
bor law school,
from which he
graduated a few
months later
and began prac
ticing at the bar.
It was while
thus praetic ng
that lie wrote
the words 'On
w*rd rolls the
royal river.'"
"Splendid,
splendid." ejac
ulated Blatz
when Swipes
had finished.
"I'm clean
.knocked out,
■boyees. by yer
sergacity. Now
to close with,
can ennybody
tell me who
,who wrote the
ONWABD ROLLS THE ROYAL
kiveb. words 'I found
my mother at her post?' "
Almond-Eyed Nathan slowly climbed to I
his feet. Everybody was surprised, as it
was generally supjKwed that Nathan was a
very illiterate fellow, and wheu he an
nounced that he was the author of the poem
in which those words occurred their surprise
was greatly increased, and they were in
clined io laugh at the man. But this didn't
piiase him, and he said: "Wheu I was
ecboot 0 years old 1 was er great
feller to go out an play with ther kids. I
allus tw er dtvumv sort os er chump and
run er good deal te.r poetry. Waal one day
niy mother sent me over ter ther neighbor's
ter boner er little flour on ci cup ov mer
lasses. 1 started early in their mornin an
got ter playiu with ther boys. When I got
back home 'twus erbout half past four in
ther afternoon. Mother met me at ther
door an grabbin mo by ther coat collar
yanked me across her lap an stexted out ter
drive ther seat ov my pants up inter my
neck, with er imddiu stick.
While layin there, ther words, *1
found my mother at her post' came inter my
mind, and when 1 got well ernough ter set
down to er table 1 wrote er poem erbout
it."
Wheu Nathan had finished the boys ap
plauded loudly and cheered him. while
Blatz paid him a personal compliment and
the meeting adjourned.
THREE SOLID MEN.
The Railroad Commissioners in Their
Quiet Home Life.
Gen. Baker, Mr. Murdork and Gen.
Becker In Their Office.
Sometimes They Relax From the
Stern Duties of the State.
How They Look.
Gen. J. H. Baker and Mr. S. S. Mur
dock, two of the railroad commissioners,
sat in their office opening from the senate
chamber in the capitol. yesterday morning.
Gen. Becker was absent and his vacant
chair stood at the desk over which his
portly form is usually bending. The sun
shone brightly through the windows, aud
its warm rays fell on a few kernels of No.
1 hard wheat, that the chief grain inspec
tor had been careless enough to scatter on
the table, until they seemed to fertilize and
sprout amid the piles of railroad papers
that the commissioners had piled beiore
them. Gen. Baker looked calm and col
lated, aud he was writing. Mr. Murdock
had a troubled look, and the wrinkles on
his brow ran criss-cross, instead of straight
across as they usually do. He was trying
io read something that Gen. Baker had
written. The picture could be called one
of still life.
"1 came to see if I might have your
pictures for the Globe," said a reporter
who had broken upon the quiet sceue.
There was a silence for a moment dur
ing which Gen. Baker smiled, and then half
cynically, he said. "Oh don't" And Mr.
Murdock liruily said, "No you cannot have
my picture. I warn you not to try to get
it."
Then G*n. Baker, seeing that Mr. Mur-
dock was in earnest,
said: "Mr. Murdock
is only coy with you.
He would like to have
riis picture in the
iLOBi:. In fact he
promised to set up
champacrne to me if 1
would slide it in with
our forthcoming re
port on the warehouse
system of the state. '
Then Gen. Baker
laughed a huge laugh.
and went on with writ.ng. Mr. Murdock
wrinkled his brow and tried to read some
more of Gen. Baker's copy, and the i\ii
streamed through the windows over
the pile of papers and the scattered kernels
of No. 1 hard wheat
The railroad commissioners create very
little commotion iv their oflice wheu they
are alone, going through the inanv matters
that are constantly
arising. Gen. Baker
is by far the most dig
nilied of the three in
their every-day life.
It is not an unusual
thing to catch Gen.
Baker and Mr. Mur
dock with their feet
on their table, in utter
disregard of a quantity
of complaints aud in
dorsements that an
scattered about there
on. But Gen. Becker
never puts his feet on his desk, or «it any
rate only at rare ii tervals. Gen. Becker
usually sits at a little desk to one side of
the room, while the other two commission
ers have a common one. Gen. Baker is
chairman of the board and he does most of
the talking, apparently; and it is only ap
parently, for wheu it comes to a general
discussion of Matters Mr. Murdock w ill be
found to put in as many words per minute
as Geu. Baker. Gen. Baker talks louder,
aud that makes it seem as if he were doing
the most of it. Mr. Murdock has a still,
small voice, on most occasions, and he
can talk all around a point aud give out less
about it, if its some matter that "we are
not yet ready to give to the public," than
either of the other commissioners. Some
times there are questions in which the
board take a formal vote and on which the
opinions are not
unanimous. The
commissioners are
not likely to take
one of these votes in
the presence of re
porters, and Gen.
Baker's diplomacy
comes in here. An
occasion occurred
two or three days
Ago. Geu. Baker
.aid. in the presence
af two or three re
porters: "W ell,
gentlemen, how do
you voter jiuruock. what do you say?"
'1 vote yes." said that gentleman.
"Becker, how do you vote?' asked the
chairman.
"1 vote no," replied the general. *
"Well, gentlemen.'' continued the chair
man, "this matter requires more considera
tion. "I've not given it much thought yet
We'll wait until the next session before the
vote is declared." and the papers in the case
were put hi his drawer for further consid
eration.
The commissioners are disposed to be
good-natured not only to visitors but among
themselves, and they often try to do each
other up ou some inoffensive pleasantries.
The other day during a lull in business the
conversation turned on taking baths and
there was a general discussion. Gen.
Becker said he took his regularly just be
fore going to bed. Gen. Baker said he liked
a Turkish bath occasionally, and Mr. Mur
dock thoughtfully said: "1 have studied a
good deal to know just when is the best
time to take a bath." Gen. Becker winked
quietly and said: "Take it in the spring,
Murdock— in the spring. Some time in
March or April would be a good time for
you."
We meet and part — the world Is wide;
We journey onward side by side
A little wh.le and then again
Our paths diverge. A little pain—
A silent yearning of the heart
For what bas grown of life a part;
A ehaiiow passing- o'er the sun.
Then grone and life again has come.
We meet and part and then forget;
And life holds blessings for us yet.
—Hester Freeman in the Chicago Current.

ST. PAUL, SUNDAY MORNING, APRIL 4 1886— EIGHTEEN PAGES.
LENTEN QUIETNESS.
Social Gayety at the National Capital Hot
Entirely Suppressed, Bat Rath*r
Subdued.
Great Preparations Made for Mrs. Whit
ney's Charity Ball Which Did Not
Take Place.
The Calico Ball and Ktrmn Soon to
Occur, Dividing Attention With
Lawn Tennis.
Special to the Globe.
WTIJIBOIW. April 3. — Society has been
moderately busy this week. The mid- Lent
festivities, of a charitable nature of course,
have been very mildly exciting. The bal
noudre. which was to have been held at
Mis. Whitney's, for the proposed newsboys'
home, failed to materialize to be sure, but
there was the fun of getting ready for It,
which was almost as good, and then there
were no headaches afterward. The tickets,
which were put at 95 each, went off like
"hot cakes." and the 400 that were
printed went off in a jiffy and more were
wanted. Happy newsboys who have so
engaging and persuasive a patron saint,
happy Mrs. Whitney, who has but to nod
and all society will obey. It was a whim
of Mrs. Whituey's that all the guests should
come to the ball in powdered hair.
Everybody agreed to this, especially
the hair dressers, who were in a fair way
to reap a golden harvest, when Mrs. Whit
ney was called away to attend the funeral
of her grandmother and the ball was indefi
nitely postponed. But the tickets are sold
aud the ball is to be given aoiae time aud
the newsboys' home become a fact There
is no trouble in getting money in Washing
ton for charitable purposes if you only
know how. The tickets for Mrs. Whit
ney's ball sold for 85 each and sold readily.
Th« tickets for the calico ball for the bene
in of the Gartield hospital, to occur at the
Chinese lecatiou iv Easter week, arc sold at
S3 each, while for the Kirmes, at the Na
tional theater, on May 13, the tickets will
cost S5. S3 and %-i. the Utter price admit
ting only to the tip-top gallery. Some of
the stage boxes at S2O each had been en
gaged by the tir>t of last weeek.
•Society is giving a good deal of attention
to lawn tennis just now. The weather is
tine, the broad lines of parking on each
side of the beautiful streets aud avenues
are green and velvety. The young women
are bewitching in lawn tennis costumes and
the young men are endurable. During the
pleasant weather of the past two weeks
many society young ladies and young gen
tlemen have been in daily practice at lawn
tennis. The game has never had as much
popularity here as it has had in the citlas
farther north, yet we have some of the best
players in the country. Mr. Berry is con
sidered the third best player, and is playing
iv such fine form this spring that his friends
will not be surprised to find him number
one before the cud of the season. Miss
Theresa Stougbton is the best lady player.
and has vanquished all the experts both
here aud in Baltimore. There is no ac
knowledged
LADY CH AMATOX PLAXKB
in this country, but quite a number are con- [
sidered excellent. This year tennis has I
taken an unusually early start, aud there
are more courts in use iv Washington now
than have ever been known before. The
tournament held at Kendall Green hist fall
gave the sport a new impetus and greatly
increased enthusiasm is noticed. G street
seems to have more courts than any other,
and one of the clubs has a membership of
| forty. There was a meeting in New York
I recently of the executive committee of the
United States Lawn Tennis association.
It was decided to hold the annual tourna
ment of the association at Newport on Aug.
23 aud following days. Each match wuV I
be the best three in live sets and the I
fifth set a vantage set In the final matches
every set will be a vantage set Prizes \
will be given for first and second places in
both singles and doubles. The New Urn
Lawn Tennis club was authorized to hold
the championship tournament of the New-
England states for lSb6. the Delaware
Field club of Wilmington for the Southern
states, aud the St. George for the Middle
i-tates. A subscription was started for a
championship cup, which, when won for
three years, not necessarily consecutive,
shall become the property of the winners.
Society is taking a good deal of interest
in Mrs. Hearst the wife of the new sena
tor from California. It is a little odd that
she should have been here all winter learn- j
ing the ways of the social life which she ■
was so suddenly to be called to enter. Can
it be possible that it was , oh, no.
Well, anyway she has been here entertaining
quietly and elegantly, and learning the in
tricate ways and etiquette of the capital,
also learning to distinguish the unknowable
delicaces of the situation to which she has
been called. Mrs. George Hearst occupies
a splendid double house on Highland ter
race, a few doors from Justice Miller's.
The family is one of high financial standing
on the Pacific coast. Mr. Hearst is the
proprietor of a successful daily paper in
>au Francisco and a successful mine pros
pector,
SUSTAINS TWO ESTABLISHMENTS,
one in San Francisco and one on the sea
coast a few miles out where he entertains
with princely magnificence. During her
visit here. Miss Uattie Crocker, the daugh
ter of the Pacific coast railroad magnate,
was the guest of Mrs. Hearst Last au
tumn Mrs. Hearst closed her city residence
and came to this city on account of the
delicate state of her health, and during her
short sojourn she has made many friends,
and already has a pleasant circle of ac
quaintances to begin a senatorial career
with.
Washington society has been very anx
ious about W. D. Howells. the novelist
The fact that he has been here in society as
much as two weeks has led people who
know nothing about book making to jump
at the conclusion that he is going to write a
novel on Washington society. Mr. Howells
is not at all reassuring or at all comforting
in his assertions wheu questioned upon the
subject as he is a score of times upon an
average each day of bis existence here. He
says the social world of Washington is a
••society of prominences" and that tha
characters of any story purporting to be of
Washington life would Immediately be
ticketed with the names of well-known
personages. To avoid the perni
cious labeling the writer would have
to be as constautly on guard against using
impressions received here that the story
would be of life anywhere aud everywhere
else but at the national capital. Hence Mr.
Howells avers he will not write a story of
Washington life. Mr. and Mrs. Howells
think Washington society most charming,
fascinating and agreeable. They have been
dined by Lieut, and Mrs. Greely. the Span
ish minister. Col. Hay. Mr. and Mrs. Frans
Colton and mauy others, and have had to
decline many invitations on account of
Mrs. Howells' inability to take up a round
of social dissipations, being an Invalid. Mr.
Howells spent a delightful evening at the
White bouse
DISCtSSIXO LITERATURE
with Miss Cleveland? There the novelist
met Secretary Lamar and, naturally enough,
the two are fervid admirers of each other.
The reception given on Saturday afternoon
to Mr. aud Mrs. Howells by Senator Mor
rill drew out a large number of distinguished
people, judges of the supreme court notable
congressmen, society's bonniest belles and
matrons, men of literature— in short a
company worthy to honor the guests of
the evening. All the social honors of which
the capital is capable have been paid the
illustrious couple.
••Pink teas' are quite the race here now.
Here is the description of one given by Mrs.
Lincoln recently. It may be interesting as
a pattern. The central ornament of the
table was a circular gilt basket filled with
•«
growing ferns. From this radiated broad
pink satin ribbons figured at one end, while
the opposite one, bearing in gilt letters the
name of the guest, lay across their place.
A bundle of tiny French rolls tied with
piuk lute strings, rested at each
place. Cut-glass dishes of pink bon
bons and pink and white almonds were
arranged about the table. The charlotte
rosso was put up in the shape of Dink and
white tulips slightly opened. A novel
feature was a decanter of cut-glass, in the
bottom of which, cunningly arranged, was
a musical box. On tilting the decanter
sufficiently to pour oat the wine a spring
was touched and the music floated out.
Corsage bouquets of pink carnations, mig
nonette and bou silene rosebuds lay beside
the card at each place.
