john w. Steele.

The old adage that "a fool aud his
money are soon parted" is aptly illustrated
in the personal history of John w.
Steele, the one-time petroleum million
aire
In 1864 Widow MClintock died from
the effects of burns received while kind
ling fire with crude OIL At this time
the average daily income from the landed
interest of the farm was $4,000, and by
her will the property, with all her pos
sessions IN money, was left, without res
ervatlon, to her adopted son, John w.
Steele, then about twenty years of age
In the iron safe where the old lady kept
her money were found SI50,000, two
thirds OF the amount in greenbacks and
the balance In gold. Mrs. M'Clintock
was hardly cold in her coffin before young
Steele, who appears to have had nothin
naturally vicious iu his composition, was
surrounded by a set of vampires, who
clung to him "a long as be had a dollar
remaining. The young millionaire's head
was evidently turned by his good fortune,
as has been that of many an older man
who made his "pile In OIL" and he was
OF the impression that his money would
accumulate too rapidly unless il was
| actually thrown away, and throw it away
he dlG. Many of the stories concerning
his career in New York and Philadelphia
SAVIOR strongly of fiction, and would not be
credited were they not so we'll authenti-
Gated. Wine. women, horses, faro and
| general debauchery soon made wreck IF
that prineely fortune, and in twenty
months Johnny Steele equandere6 two
millions of dollars. Hon. John Morrissey,
| M. G., "went through" him at faro to the
amount of 100000 in two nights; he
| bought high-priced turnouts, AND after
! driving them an hour or two gave them
away equipped large minstrel troupe
and presented each member with dia-
mond pin and ring, and kept about him
besides, two or three men who were rob-
hing him day after day. He is now filing
the honorable position of doorkeeper for
Skiff Il Gaylord's minstrels, the company
he organized, and is, to use very express
sive but not strictly classical phrase,
completely "played out"
The wealth obtained by those who
worked SO assiduously to effect Steele's
ruin gave little permanent ben eft to its
possessors. The person most brazen and
chiefly instrumental in bringing about the
present state of affairs was the notorious
Seth Slocum, who hung around Oil City
several weeks last summer. He was
worth at one time over 100000, which
he had captured" from Steele and laid
aside for rainy day, but when the latter's
money vanished, this amount soon took
unto itself wings, and he is at present
known among his old associates as "dead
beat" At last accounts, Slocum was
incarcerated in the Jail of neigh5oring
county Cor various breaches of the peace,
and was unable to obtain bail In the gum
of $500.

The old Folks.

All, don't be sorrowful, darling,
And don't be sorrowful, pray
Taking the year together, my dear,
There isn't more night than day.
'Tis rainy weather, my darling
Times waves, they heavily run;
But taking the year together, my dear,
There isn't more cloud than sun.
We are old folks now, my darling,
Our heads are growing gray;
But taking the year all round, my dear,
You viii always find the May.
We have had our May, my darling,
Aaa our reses long ago;
The time of year is coming, mydeer,
For the silent night an d snow.
And God is God, my darling,
Ofnight as well as of day,
And we feel and know that we can go
Wherever He leads tie way.
Aye, God of the night, my darling
OF the night Of death so grim;
