CLEVELAND IS Loss.

The Forest City Almost Banbrupted By
Axworthy's Actions The Rascslly Of
Aclal in Canada.
CLEVELAND, o.. Oct. Is - There ID
about $4,000 belonging to the city de-
posited in half dozen banks, but
tho bondsmen Of Thomas Axworthy, the
defauiting treasurer, have attached: it.
and the result is that the CITY
Is bankrupt. Kaufman Hays, NOM
Dor Of the Council, has been placed in
charge Of the ot1bce, and will continue to
act as treasurer until Axworthy's sue
cessor is elected. At present there is only
5000 in the city's vaults, and when that
Is paid out the treasurers Office will be
closed for financial repairs.
A meeting OF the Board of Aldermen was
held last night and the onlce Of tho city
treasurer declared vacant. The mayor
was authorized By q resolution to issue
notes Of the city to the amount of $20O, 600
If necessary, to tide over the temporary
financial stringency. The action Of this
board will will have to be confirmed at
the meeting Of the council Friday night
before It's legislation can 60 into effect. 4
A. B. Conkey, Axworthy's confidential
business manager, has just returned from
New York, where he went to investigate
the matter. His theory is that Axworthy
went to New York with securities on
which he hoped to realize in order
to settle with the city. Failing to get
the money he needed he went to Canada
rather than return to Cleveland and face
his shortage like a man. Mr.. Conkey de-
clares positively that Axworthy was not
speculator, as has been asserted. He saw
all of Axworthy's correspondence, and he
knows that the latter lost no money on
wheat.
1t is feared that Cleveland will also
lose SITS, 600. the proceeds Of bonds nego.

"Ah, dear motherm said the boys,
"we can never be sufficiently thankful
to you for keeping us out OF the street

you and father yourselves selected for

Thorn was sixteen years old. A few
weeks later he was examined and re-

"srxTEEN YEARS AT HARD LABOR

The lessons of the street-school are
terribly efficient.
These details may seem trivial, but
the world is made of particles, and the
sea composed of drops, yet the land
and the sea are not trif1es.
These details are lessons which
teach obedience and self-government,
and these are far from being trifles.
To the nations obedience to Gods
moral law, like obedience to his physi-
cal law, would draw all to revolve in
harmony around one common center
of power and love, while disobedience
repels and tends to chaos and destruc-
tion.
In the family loving obedience is
cohesion, while disobedence is final
ruin. And throughout all human
life, obedience and self-government in
volve all the duties we owe to God and
man, and are everything desirable,
while disobedience and ungoverned
passion are everything fearful and
hateful.
