Uncertainty of Great Fortunes.


A few years ago Cyrus W. Field
was reported to nave 10 million dol
lars, one day Jay Gould got after him
and by nightfall he was a poor man.
Mr.. Gould himself has repeatedly been
brought to the verge of financial ruin.
James r. Keene once exhibited to his
lawer New Years statement show
ing balance in his favor of ID mil
lions. The next year the ID million
had all been lost, and more too. The
late Governor +. ID. Morgan, whom
everybody said was worth 20 millions,
actually left at his death only about
5 millions, and if he had lived a few
years longer he would probably not
have left that. There are lots of
other cases that illustrate the uncer-
tainty of great riches. 1t will never
do to count long on such possessions
when the possessors keep on operating.

F4ttSOurS Ilnc--
Experts have pretty successfully
shown that electricity can not be de-
pended upon to kill. One expert de-
clares that he knows of lots of work
men who don't mind the wires /; that
they handle them and receive the
shock every hour of the day without
other sensation than a slight tingling
at the elbows. 1t is pretty clear now
that all previous ideas about electric
ity have been erroneous, so far as it
can be depended upon to kill. Light.
ming whisky is ahead of it most
clearly, for that was never yet known
not to fetch whoever took to it. 1t
is true that num5erless persons have
died from an overdose of electricity
but, unless these experts are at fault,
there must have been some mistake
about their cases. or they were ex-
ceptions to the rule of electric shocks
ordinarily supposed to be powerful
enough to produce death. We would
not advise men whose business is
connected with electricity to be any
the less careful than formerly, al
though the experts have made it APP
pear clear enough that previous ideas
have been wrong, and that electricity
cannot be depended upon to kill any
one.

The train robbery craze has broken
out in several paris of the country.
A we'll DIRECTED bullet would SOON put
a stop to the career of the festive
train robber, but so far he has never
been the recipient of such peculiar
form of stoppage and it is likely he
never will.

others.

Some idea of the crowds that a
great worlds fair in st. Louis would
bring to the state may be gathered
from the figures of the George Wash
ington Centennial i'll New York city
about three months ago. In three
days there were, it wss said, 1900
900 visitors to New York. However
that may be, the elevated roads car
ried in those three days 2,356,l17
passengers. and that would indicate
an enormous number of visitors. Of
course st. Louis is not so large as
New York, but the Washington CEN
tennial was not so large as The worlds
fair will be and hence the crowd in
attendance at the latter will be larger.
St. Louis must endeavor to show that
she can take care of as large crowd
of New York.

Public opinion is peculiar thing
and is as variable as the wind. When
Mrs. Maybrick, the woman who was
arrested for poisoning her husband
that she might take in his stead a
paramour, had a preliminary trial in
London, the public threatened to
mob her, and doggeral was surg
which testified to its belief in her
guilt. At Liverpool, where her trial
has just been finished with charge
from the Judge that she be sentenced
to death, the Judge himself came near
being mobbed aud excitement ran
high. Almost any kind of criminal
can get sympathy, but it does not
follow that the sympathy is deserved.

The Excitement of Battle.

It is stated as a new and
alarming fact that Russia is re-aTmiDg
her soldiers with a new rifle to be made
in France, viii ch will use uoiseless pow
der, and this ia supposed to indicate that
the great battles of the future may be
fought in absolute silence as were the
ambushes of Indians in times when they
used bows and arrows only. Ihe actual
fact is, however, that during the civil war
there was gu effort made to introduce gun
cotton into general use, proJectlle force
that WAS absolutely noiseless, but 1t mad
hardly more than a few trials, because
either il proved unpopular, or lt was I'M
possible 20 equip the army With It. The
rebel army used 1t to considerable ex-
tent. At any rate short experience prov
ed that bullet which struck unheralded
by the sound of a rifle, had d serious and
Oppressive effect. 1t wac too much liks
a ghOstiy mystery. Neither those VINO
fired or received the shot, felt that 1t
Was quite the fair thing. There was an
element of treaohery in it. 1t was too
much like shooting a foe in the back
when he wasn't looking, to suit either
army of Americans in the late upfortu-
nsCe disagreement. While ambushes,
surprises, night attacks and sil such things
war, there seemed something rather
meaner than usual about gun that
made no noise, and the thing never got
hold on the affections of either side. 1t
vas a great era for the invention of i'm
provements in destruction, and our
Yankee nation would have made the
most of the chance if noiseles5 battles
could have been shown to be conducive
to the earliest enfL rcement of peace.
But every old soldier will discard the
idea of DOiseless battles as n fraud and
an undesirable practscability. One
might as well suggest Fourth OF July
with noiseless powder.
An esteemed convem porary, the Pitts
burg Times, contends that "sold1ers ne

The Condition of the Alaskan Women Not as
Bad as Painted.
OMAHA, July ga correspondent of
the Omaha Bee with the senate committee
III Alaska, sends a letter from Juneau
under date of June %, reviewing the in
quiries of the committee These wers
commenced at Port Chester, Alaska,
where thsre are 1900 Indians under
charge of Mr.. Duncan, missionary Who
has been among the tribe for thirty years.
The Inoians were found to be living in
apparent contentment and engaged
in all the pursuits of the whites.
Their grievance is an anxiety to
possess the lands in severalty or C. have
certain parcels set aside for them that
they may cultivate and hold the individu-
al right. They want Jarviur island given
to their tribe. The com mittee found the
state of morals of the women of this
tribe far above the average IN other parts
of the territory. At Sitka as we'll as 81
other points visited 80 far, the committee
tailed to find single clse where an In
dian !. women or girls had been forcibly
taken from their parents for
an immoral purpose as alleged
in the United States some time
ago. They, however, iesrned that the
standard of morals among women, as
rule, is not very high. At meeting at
the town hall at Juneau, some individual
complaints were made by Indians as to
bad treatment from the whites, but
no hing serious was disclosed. The
committee later On listened TO the argu-
ments of body of citizens, urging tho
extension of the homestead land laws to
the territory. The question of territorial
government was also discussed as much
needed want.

A boy, only six years old, was sailing
with his father down the Danube. AD
day long they had been sailing past crumb
ling ruins, frowning castles, cloisters hid
away among the orsgs, towering cliffs,
quiet villages nestled in sunny valleys,
and here and there a deep gorge that
opened back from the gliding river, it's
hollow distance blue with fsthomless
shadow, and it's loneliness and stiffness
stirring the boys heart like some Gin
aud vast cathedral. Tn-y stopped at
night at A oloister, and the father took
little Woltgang into the chapel to see
the organ 1t was the first large organ
he had ever seen; aud his face lit up with
delight, and every motion and attitude
of his figure expressed wondering
reverence.
Father" said the boy, "let me play"
Well pleased, the father complied. Then
Wolfgaug pushed aside the stool and,
when his father had filled the great bel
lows, the elfin organlet stood upon the
pedals How the deep tones woke the
sombre stiffness of the old church! The
organ seemed some great uncouth crea-
ture, roqring for very JOY at the cares
ses of the marvellous child.
The Inonks, eating their supper in the
rsfectory, heard it and dropped knife
and fork ln astonishment. The organist
of the bI Brotherhood was among them, but
never had he played with such power.
They listened; some crossed themselves,
ii the prlor hose up and hasteued in
the chapel. The others followed; but,
when they looked up into the organ-loft,
10! there was no organist to he seen,
though the deep tones still massed
themselves in new h8rmonies, and made
the stone arches thrill with their power.
st ia the devil" cried one of the monks,
drawing closer TO his companions, and
giveug scared look over his shoulder
at the darkness of the aisle.
at Ia u miracle" said another. But,
when the boldest of them mounted the
airs to the organ-lott, he stood as if
| petrl6ed with amaze.Aent. There were
the tiny fingers, treadipg from pedal 10
pedal, and at the same time elutching at
| the KEYS abov6 with his little hands,
| gathering handfulls OF those wonderful
| chords as If they were yiolets, and fling

hind him. He heard nothing, saw moth

whole face lighted up with impassioned
Joy. Louder and fuller rose the harmon
les, streaming forth in swelling billoss,
till at last they SCENE to reach a sunny
shore, on which they broke; and then
whispering ripple of faintest melody
fingered a moment in she air, like the
last murmur of wird-hsrp, and all was
still. The boy was John Wolfgsug
