Our Dead.
Nothing is our own. We hold our pleasures Just a little while ere they are fled. One by one life robs us of our treasures.
Nothing is our own except our dead.
They are ours, and hold in faithful keeping Safe forever all they took away. Cruel life can never stir that sleeping
Cruel time can never seize that prey.
How the children leave us, and no traces Linger of that smiling angel bandl Gone, forever gone, and in their places
Weary men and anxious women stand.
Yet we have some little ones still ours. They have kept the baby smile, we know, Which we kissed one day and hid with flowers
Oil their dead, white faces long ago.
Is love ours, and do we dream we know it, Bound with all our heartstrings as our own? Any cold and cruel dawn may show it
Shattered, desecrated, overthrown.
Only the dead hearts forsake us never. Love that to death's loyal care lias fled Is thus consecrated ours forever,
And no change can rob us of our dead-
Tlie Cost of Joy.
The cost of joy is joy, for in the sea A brook no longer may an idler be. Tin: ocean lifts her ships and hoars thorn 011— Our sweet old hillside troubadour is gone.
The cost, of joy is joy. .Tunc brings the rose. Hut el.id in l\-irs (lie violet springtime s. The rose of passion with her hot, red breath Is love's fir.-b silent- messenger of death.
The cost of joy is joy. Suns fright the moon. The rainbow liopu dissolves in truth's high noon. Today costs yesterday in heart- and brain— Immortal life, the sum of earthly gain. —Martha Gilb' rt Dickinson.

PRIVATE LETTER FROM CUBA.
A Famine I'redieted if the War Continues Much Longer.
NEW YORK, Oct. 4.—TheWorld prints abstracts from a private letter from Cuba, which predicts famine if the war shall continue. The writer says:
The troops in the interior part of the island are suffering unheard of hardships. They are famished, clotlieless, shoeless and without medical attendance. The officers confess the total demoralization of the army and pronounce the difficulties insurmountable.
The departments of Santiago, Puerto Principe, Santa Clara and Matanzas, that is to say, nearly all the island, are being devastated. Everywhere small parties of rebels patrol the conn try with perfect impunity, robbing and firing property.
In the port of Havana there is a stock of sugar of (0o,000 tons without buyers, The sugar estates have no money to pay to their workmen, who are driven by starvation to join the rebels. No life is safe in the country.
The only money in circulation is the $",000,000 monthly pay of the army, of which some is remitted to officers' families in Spain.
The sugar planters are ruined completely. They, at least, thus far have constituted uu element of production.
Tlie picture that Cuba presents today is very gloomy aud the future is veiy, very dark.

SHOT AT HIS COMMANDER.
Sensational Shooting Affray at Fort Sheridan.
CHICAGO, Oct. 4.—Colonel R. E. A. Crofton, commander of the Fifteenth infantry at Fort Sheridan, narrowly escaped death or at least severe wounds at the hands of Lieutenant S. S. Pague of Company F, Fifteenth infantry, yesterday afternoon. The lieutenant fired three shots at the commander. One passed through a loose fold of his overcoat, just over the right groin, the second and third passed close to the body. Lieutenant- Pague, a few moments before, had escaped from the hospital where lie had been undergoing treatment for mental trouble, occasioned, it is said, by overindulgence in liquor.
It is said at the fort that the lieutenant was not responsible for his act, and tnat- his meeting with Colonel Crofton was of chance.
The shooting occasioned great excitement at the fort, borii because of the universal good favor in which Lieutenant Pague is lu-id by his comrades, wiio regret exceedingly his mental trouble, and because it was the second time that an officer of the Fifteenth infantry, while suffering from dementia, attacked Colonel Crofton.
Lieutenant Pague some time ago spent several weeks at a liquor cure establishment. Oil his return it appeared that the treatment had been greatly beneliciai, to him. A few weelcs ago, however, his comrades and superior officers noticed that his actions were strange and not those of a man mentally responsible. It was then concluded that the treutnleut had affected his brain. During the visit of General Merritt to the fort recently, Lieutenant Pague's actions were erratic to such a degree that he was ordered sent to the post hospital for treatment.
Yesterday afternoon, while the attendents were busy in another part of the hospital, Lieutenant Pague escaped from his room. He went immediately to his home in a distant part of the post grounds aud secured a revolver, walked out on the parade ground and fired the shots at Colonel Crofton. as told above. The noise of the shots brought several officers to the spot and before Lieutenant Pague fired again he was seized and disarmed, According to the officers who took him in charge he dia not seem to realize what he had done, and a few moments after did not seem to remember that he had fired any shots at all.
Lieutenant Pague is about 40 years old. He graduated from West Point about 1870, and has been in active service in the west. He is considered an able officer.

Milium Dollars.
WARREN, R. I., Oct. 4.—One of the largest fires that has ever occurred in southeastern New England broke out in one of the three mills of the Warren Manufacturing company, situated about an eighth of a mile from the center of this town, just after 7 o'clock last night, and before it was gotten under control it had swept through three large cotton mills, two warehouses, small sheds, freight cars aud other property, causing a loss which is estimated at more than a million dollars.
The lire started in the washroom, near tlie engine room of No. 1 mill, and spread with great rapidity through the building and threatening adjoining property. Within an hour after the blaze was discovered the flames were roaring through all three mills. The magnitude of the fire at once became
apparent to the local department and help was immediately summoned from Bristol, Fall River and Provideuco.
An engine from Bristol, one from Fall River and two steamers, two hose carts, and three companies fi-om Providence responded, arriving on special trains. The scene when these out-of-town companies arrived was appalling. The whole of the southern part of the little town seemed to be a roaring mass of flames, threatening not only the tenement houses of the manufacturing company nearby, but even endangering the business part of the town some distance off.
Almost immediately after the additional force had started to work the water supply began to give out, and although the automatic sprinklers were turned on in all of the three mills, and six inches of water stood upon all of the floors, very little progress was made.
A carload of ore and another of cotton, standing on a track in the mill yard, became ignited and furnished admirable food for the fire in its sweep through the great plant. The heat was insufferable and soon it was impossible fro get within 200 feet of the buildings. At JO o'clock the flames were threatening two warehouses containing $400,000 of property. At 10:30 they
worth caught, and in a few moments had be come a roaring furnace. A few minutes later the flames jumped from these buildings to the lumber yard of Ezra Martin, and his entire stock of coal, wood and dressed lumber were food for the fire.
Bv most persistent and assiduous efforts, however, the firemen gained control of the conflagration at midnight, but all that wa.-s left of the big factories was one house, and the tenements were a blazing ruins. The entire contents of the plant were destroyed.
Several persons in the crowd of spectators were injured by flying bricks, but none were seriously hurt.
When the roof of the warehouse fell in lour Providence firemen were caught. They escaped by crawling down the waterpipe and then jumping a distance of 17 feet. Two were slightly injured.
The losses are estimated as follows: Warehouses and factories, $800,000 material, $300,000 lumber yard, $15,000 tenements, $10,000. Total, $1,125,000.
The local fire service was ridiculously inadequate. Tlie Warren Manufacturing company is one of the largest cotton manufacturing corporations in the country. John Waterman of Warren is the principal owner, and Warren and Providence peopie are the heaviest stockholders.
The three mills destroyed were each 700 feet long, five stories in height and contained in all 87,000 spindles. Sixteen hundred operatives, comprising nearly all the working force of tiie town, were employed. Thus the principal means of support in f-he toWn is taken away, but as Warren is Mr. Waterman's home it is expected that he will rebuild the plant.
The insurance on the whole of the compauy's property amounts to $1,050,000.
