why YOUNG MEN FAIL.

Young men often fail to. get along ~
the world because they neglect small OPP
portunitie.s. Not being faithful In lit
tie things, they are not promoted to
the charge Of greater things.
A Young man who. gets q autorda
nate situation sometimes thinks 1t Is
not necessary FOR him to give it much
attention. He will wait till he gets a
a place Of responsibility, and then ne
will show people what he can do.
This f. very great mistake. i What,
ever his situation may be, he should
master 1t in aiiiitsidetails, and perform
all its, duties faithfully. ,ys,.,.srs5..t.r..

In a recent lecture in Edinburgh on
''The Stars" Prof. Grant, said that a

fifty miles per hour, would reach the
moon in six months, the sun in two
hundred years, and Alpha Centauris,
the nearest Of the fixed stars, in forty
two millions of years; Il cannon ball !,
travelling nine hundred miles per hour,
in 2,7OO, 900 years; and light, travelling
1856 900 miles per second, in three years.
Light from some OF the telescope stars,
takes $3.50 years to reach the earth,
from others 500 900 years. These stars
therefore, may have become extinct

National Associated Press to the Star.
NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-It is now stated
that the project for grand National
Opera-house is likely to fail. Wander
bilt says he has not sold the lot Oh Madi-
son avenue to Strakosch, but that it be-
longs to the Harlem Railroad and is
not his to sell. 1T seems that John H..
Sherwood interested himself in the mat
ter. Upon learning that Maurice Stra-
kosch had formed the idea of a twO-mil!-
ion Opera-house he suggested the local
ity of Madison avenue, near the Grand
Central Depot. Strakosch and he
who said he would advise the railroad
company to sell the land tor $500, 900.
Upon being informed of this Strakosch
was much pleased, but mcautiously
spoke to others OF the intepded pur-
chase, and it got into the newspapers.
This alarmed the members OF DR.. Cooks
Church, which is opposite the lot on
Madison avenue, ana they begged Van-
derbllt not to sell the property. Sher-
wood then retired and declined Lo have
anything more to do with the matter,
and thus 1T stands at present.
In Plymouth Church

ick A. Palmer, resident of South Caro-
lima, spoke on the political troubles of

He said the negro wished to be eGu-

him. South Carolina is a white mans
State yet, and the South is just as de-
Lermiued to-day that the blacks Shall
not learn as when they were chattels.
Beecher, in his address on the same
subject, said he could foresee that ii the
colored people ever came up to intelli-
gence and education, it would be
through suffering, but whatever be their
fate the American people can do moth
