How to Become a Millionaire.

We stand here now at the begin
ming of the twentieth century with
the oil. coal, iron, steam. electric in
terests, the products of forest and soil
held IN the sure grasp of few indi-
yiduaIs or corporations, to be used
with the cunning of the gambler.
They speculate in the great natural
riches of the earth and air. which
used to be considered as the great
5boons of God.
There are four things you must do,
young man, and do and believe with
all your soul. These four things, if
,swed ont, will lead you to become
a millionaire. and as many times
millionaires. as you wish, if health
and life permit.
First, young man, you must be-
lieve that every other man is a liar.
You must believe this and act upon
it IN order to protect yourself and
schemes of foolish planners and wick
ed plotters.
Second, if YOU want to become a
millionaire, you must also believe
that every man is thief. The man
of great wealth has what other men
want and what they are trying to get
from him.
Third, you must believe that mon
ey is the greatest good and chief end
of life. You must believe it heartily.
Reformers loveright. soldiers glory,
philanthropists their fellow men. but
you must think of none of these. You
must love money, and be ob.ivious to
the great thoughts and motives which
have actuated men.
Think only of money, love it as
John Brown loved the slave ; toll,
cheat and spend yourselves to your
dying day, for only so can you be-
come a millionaire.
Fourth, you must believe that YOU
will never die. If you could only
Danish the thought of death how diff.
lferent your plans would be He
who would do great deeds must deem
himself immoral. Time dwarfs and
eternity expands.
7 The cradle and the grave tell it all
and he who would become million
.,aire must plan, act and dream as one
Fwho thinks his deeds can never be
interrupted.
Setting aside the element of luck
then. the young man who would he
come millionaire must believe ir
these four propositions. -ReU. W. III

Scenes at the Bridge.

The most picturesque scene yester-
day, perhaps, was near the stone
arched bridge over the Conemaugh.
A great railroad derrick had been
fitted up and anchored to the track.
Immense graphing irons sW ung over
the side of the bridge into the vast
mass of wrecked cars, houses and
people. A hawser ran over The pull
leys to monster locomotives and when
the word was given off went the en-.
gines, pulling sometimes the black.
cred trunk of large tree out of the
heap, or perhaps some particularly
obstinate beam which defied the eff
forts of the men below to float it off
into the stream.
Every half hour or so there was a
defamation and the mass was loosened
but not enough to be noticeable. This
is part of the coniraC s0f 's--eEsest to
make a course through the mass, but
the progress Isl very slow. Yester-
day he had not dug out more than
twenty-five or thirty cubic feet, and
there are 6, 200, 900 to be removed. AS
the contractor says, it will be weeks
before this is all cleared, although no
search is being made at this point for
bodies, and there are as many CT them
there as in any other PLACE. Still
every minute there II call for
sheet and the fragments of some dear
brother no longer in the flesh are
gathered up carefully with pitch
forks, placed in the sheet and laid on
the bank, whence they are taken to
the Prospect Hill school house where
all the bodies of the unknown unfor-
Inmates await interment with the
others.
Brought out of this place was
woman's head, black and shriveled,
and yet the diamonds glisteDed in
the earns. The forward man of those
who carried the sheet stumbled, the
head rolled to the ground, and the
gems, shaken out of the ears, fell
back into the ruins.
Over in JohnstoWn proper the
workmen found many bodies. among
them those of four or five commercial
travellers. Pinned to the breast af
each man was his business card and
his name and address. They had
been stopping at the Hurlbert house
when the waters rushed in, and, see
ing that death was inevitable. they
had provided way for their friends
to learn of their fate.
One of the most curious and touch
ing events was the finding of little
Tessie Downs, the beautiful child of
an old man who has become almost
reckless on account of his losses. The
little one was carried by the torrent
to the Cambria Iron works. where
her body was found covered up with
mud and sand. 1t had drifted down
into cellar through narrow OPEN
ing, the only one in the place. When
the big men discovered her and lifted
ner out one of them got some water
and gently wiped the face.
"Why! it's Tessie Down !" he
cried.
They all knew her, and, accustom-
ed as they have been for the past few
days to such pictures, many of them
wept. That was in the morning. In
the afternoon. very near the same
place. the corpse of woman was
found, and while it was being borne
away old man Downs rushed up and
asked the bearers to let him see it.
He turned back the cover.
ut is my wife," he said quietly,
and followed them to the dead house.
So mother and child must have
died very close to each other.

PITTSBURG GRiPMEN STRIKE.
The Knights of Labor Being Replaced
by NOn-Union Hands.

There is considerable excitement in labor cir
cles in Pittsburg on account of the Pittsburg
traction company making war upon the Knights
Of Labor, discharging all gripmen who are
members of the order. In addition to the ten
men discharged Saturday six more were dis
missed yesterday, and all others who hold ale
glance to the knights are expecting their walk
ing papers, providing they do not desert the
grip by orders from the Knights of Labor Of
ficials previous to being fired. This road is the
one most used in Pittsburg and belongs to the
syndicate of which Messrs. Widener and Elkins
of Philadelphia are at the head. Mr.. Elkins is
in Pittsburg experimenting the replacement Of
Knights of Labor gripmen by non-union men.
If the matter cannot be settled today tie-up
is threatened by the men, though the company
says it has enough expert grlpmen from Phila-
delphia. New York and Chicago to replace its
knights of Labor men. The gripmcn who were
discharged yesterday morning noticed man
sitting i'll the smoking department of their
cars. They got on during the first trip to the
city. They did not have one word to say, but
they kept Il very close watch when the car was
rounding any of the curves. They were learn
ing the road, and it only required one or two
trips until they were capable of taking charge
OF the car. When the regular gripmen were
discharged at Oakland yesterday morning the
man who had been sitting in the gripman's cab
all morning paying his dime at each end of the
line simply took hold of the lever, gave the bell
pull and away went the car with a new grip

Canada met in New York yesterday in the
Federal building, Messrs. Hoar, Hale, Dolph

was Fritz J. Babson, who for seventeen years
was collector of the port of Gloucester. He
entered into long statement of the fisheries
question and urged that fishing vessels should
have the same privileges accorded to them tina
is accorded to all other vessels of the worlds
merchant marine, under the permits that are
granted.
Erastus Wiman was the next witness. He
said that his knowledge of the fishery question
was very slight. but spoke to the committee of
the general desire of Canadians for closer rela-
tons with the United States.
Dir. F. B. Thurber followed Mr.. Wiman and
favored reciprocity. Thomas l.. Greene testi-
fled that the railroad difficulty might be settled
by the Canadian roads giving bonds to observe
the long and short haul principle OF the in
terstate commerce law.

$15O,OOO for a Veto.

The st. Louis st-Dispdtch last night printed
a page Of sensational statements and inter-
views with reference to the so-called robber
gas BILL in which the claim is made that Ed
Butler, well-known lobbyist who bears the
title of ''boss of the general assembly" offered
to secure the veto of the gas bill by the mayor,
through the influence of John b. OMeara,
Mayor Noonan's nearest friend. 1t is claimed
that the offer was made to James Campbell,
the broker, who holds 1900, 900 gas stock, and
that Mr.. Buffers figures for veto were
Sl59,000. EIr. Butler denies the story, as does
Mr.. OMeara. while Mr.. Campbell is non-com-
initial, The mayor has not yet signed nor has
he vetoed the bill. When he acts there will
likely be some startling developments.
