Tho Veteran Pennsytvanian a Victim Of Cancer, and Not Only His Career In Con.
 gress, but His I.ifc May be Ended In a Very Short Time.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The Father of the House of Representatives, the cham pion of protection, the veteran legisla- tor, Vim. D. Kelley, of Pennsylvania, has probably been on the floor of floor of the House for the last time. On the day when the Fifty-frst Congress assembled Judge Kelley was in his place, and since that time he has prob ably been at the Capitol twice or three times. His enfeebled condition was the subject of much comment, but only few know the nature of the judges ail- ment It is now fully developed and it's activity is most virulent. Just be- low the rear of Judge Kelley's jaw is cancer, and it is spreading rapidly into the throat. So quickly has it worked that the afflicted man can only speak in whispers, and then not. without pain. The swallowing of nourishment is matter of considerable difficulty and locomotion can only be indulged in to a very small extent. Several of Judge Kelley's relatives have been here dur ing the last few days, and his daughter. Mrs. Hosmer, wanted to take him home with her, but his condition was such that removal was regarded as impossi- ble by the physicians, so the judge is still in his room at the Biggs House.

Assassination Lurking in the Very Air

 Their Lives Among Those High In Inn
 perial Favor = The Latest Discovered
 Plot.
 ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 4.-The arrest of the notorious Nihilist leader, Pierra Gross, at Warsaw, has been productive of disclosures far more startling than any of the alarming revelations which have come to the police within the last few days appalling as they have been. From letters and documents concealed in his clothing the most damning evil dence is obtained against many persons high in imperial favor and authority, contemplating not the assassination of the Czar alone, but the murder of the entire reigning family as well. AL ready many of the consplrators have been taken into custody, and those still at large are under espionage or being tracked by relentless police officials to the end of their lodgment in prison, whence they will almost certainly go to their death. Several of the implicated persons were apprehended while at tempting to leave the country.

 and injuring Two Others.
 SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Jan. 3.-The fifth span of the new iron bridge which is being built between Holyolse and South Hadley Falls was blown down at about ten o'clock this morning, and work man named Maurice Driscoll, of Eagle Bridge, N Y., was killed.

A workman named McCloskey was rescued from the river after the &C., cident, being found hanging to one of the stringers of the bridge. About thirty men were at work on the spans but as soon as the trusses began to set tie they were given warning and all but the three mentioned escaped. Some pedestrians and carriages had narrow escapes.

 Not so very much, X. replied. "Still, knew when it came"

A WONDERFUL DOG.
How He Saved Four Boys from Almost
 Certain Death.

Certain Death.
 Nit is a big iet-black Newfoundland dog who lives in the northern part of New York City, and is supposed to be jointly owned by Oscar and George Smith. One Saturday afternoon the brothers, with two other boys, tramped up to the Bronk river to disused mill dam, determined to have some fun, and of course Nit was along. Presently they found aR old boat twelve feet long, fastened by rusty chain to stake. They climbed in, and were amusing themselves by rocking it, when the chain broke and the boat drifted out from the shore. Hardly more than fifty yards down the river the water runs over the dam and falls twenty feet on the jagged rocks. There were no oars in the boat and nothing to use as substitute. In the middle of the river the boat swung lazily around until the prov pointed toward the dam, and then it began to drift slowly down stream. Nit had stood on the shore with ears and tail erect, watching the boat drift away, and apparently considering 1t good joke But when the boat be- gan to move toward the dam Nit became ill at ease, and ran barking and whining up and down the bank. The boys were thoroughly alarmed by this time, too. They cried out for help, and Nit telling them by a sharp, short bark to wait for him, sprang into the water and beat his way toward the boat, now dangerously near the dam. Nit swan right in front of the boat. and tried to stop it with his body, but the current swung the stern around. Finding that this wouldn't do Nit swan around Ghe boat twice, think ing very earnestly all the time. Having solved the difficulty, as he thought he sprang up on the gunwale and seized 1t with his teeth. This lifted him so far out of the water that he couldn't swim. Then he let go his hold and went around the boat once more for another idea. He got 1t, and then the question arose how to convey it to the frightened youngsters. Nit swan close to the boat, and sticking his head over the gunwhale, looked inn ploringly into little Oscars lace, and whimpered. Oscar misunderstood, and thought Nit was tired and wanted to come in for rest He seized the leath- CT strap and tried to lift him in. But Nit instantly dropped back into the water, and pointing his head toward the shore, began swimming for all he was worth Gradually the downward course of the boat was stopped, It swung around in answer to Nit's powerful legs and slowly drew near the shore. II grounded within few feet Of the dam. and the boys sptang out as happy lot of yougsters as lived They started homeward on a run, with Nit barking and ffolicking around them '-Go.den Days.

SUICIDE IN JAIL.
Willis Gaylord, Once Prosperous New York Merchant, Ends His Life by Hang Ing in the Philadelphia Jail.


 PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 3.-Willis Gay lord, who had been in official custody for nearly two months, and who had en- joyed more privileges than have usual ly been accorded to a man charged with a crime, committed suicide in the coun- ty prison this morning by hanging him. eelf to the bars of his cell. Gaylords case is very peculiar one. He was about forty years of age, finely formed, and from his actions and speech very much of a gentleman. He was prosperous merchant in New York City until about three months ago, when matters began to take turn for the worse and he found himself unable to meet his obligations. The most im- portant of these was debt of $50, 900 which Frederick A. Babcock, of New York, alleged was due him. Suit was begun against Gaylord in New York courts, but he left the city and came to Philadelphia. Babcock followed and had him arrested.

The Gas Was Low But It Deadened the
 Patients Pain.
 It was about two o'clock of a chill morning when MT. X. presented himself at the door of doctor in the village of w., after series of laundering knocks at the door with good deal of vigorous exercise upon the bell handle, succeeded in bringing that gentleman to the win dow overhead
 What is it?" asked the doctor.
 Do you pull teeth?" MT. X. de- handed.
 "Yes, when have to-" was the reply.
 "Then want tooth pulled"
 "All right. Come back in the morn ing and I'll take it out for you"
 Come back in the morningw eiaeu- lated MT. X. What do you take mo for Here I've been in torment for these two days, and for the last two hours I've been hunting all over this confounded town after dentist and now I'd like to have the job done at once if there is any way to fix it."
 The dentist at first demurred, but at last he consented to come down and get the tooth out at once; and after due interval in which he made his nasty toilet Mir. X. was admitted to the house. The chill of the night was everywhere, but K was too intent upon getting rid of the troublesome molar to mind that, and he was duly installed in the operating chair and an examination made.
 Hold on there" X. said, as the den tist, having satisfied himself which was the troublesome tooth, took up his foroeps and prepared for work. T want to take gas This tooth has given me about all the pain can stand from it. "
 Well" the dentist answered, the gas is little low, but, if you insist will give you what there is It will deaden the pain, though very likely you will feel 1t some
 The conventional breathing tube oi black rubber was produced, and X pro ceeded to inhale for dear life. For a moment the dentist allowed him to pump his lungs full from the gas reser Yoir, and then, taking the breathing tube away, he quickly whipped in hts iorceps and whipped out the tooth.

THE RENEWAL OF LIFE.
The Road to Any Kind of Greatness Lies
 Through the Commonplace.

The Road to Any Kind or GreAtuess Lies
 Through the Commonplace.
 There is an element of romance in almost every successful life--that pro- foundly interesting romance which lies in expansion out of small things into great ones. There is nothing which so profoundly interests men as the story of the development of genuine life into usefulness and power. It is story illus trated and described generation after generation, and yet the interest in it is more widespread and more intense than ever before. The most commonplace men recognize an element in human life which they find in others if not in them selves, which has in it the power and the charm of something mysterious, something of which the man himself is not fully aware; something which is continually leading him to places which he did not expect to reach, and putting into his hand prizes which he did not expect to win. There is some. thing magical in the change of position from obscure and untrained boyhood to fame, power and that force of manhood which seems to be equal to all occasions and to which all opportunities are pre- sented. As we read these brilliant stories we often forget that from the chief actors the splendid outcome was concealed. The man of genius, of ar- tistic talent, of any sort of gift, works along quietly from day to day, often feeling that nothing remains but tho raveling out of life; when unexpectedly some new impulse stirs him to the depths, some new occasion evokes new power, some new opportunity offers the one thing that was headed to bring out all there was in him..
 The road to any kind of greatness lies through the commonplace. Those who walk it often see nothing before them but the dead level of daily work; it is only at intervals that the road suddenly ascends the mountain-side and the world sweeps into view. It is these splendid moments, however, in the mans career which attract us, and which we see; the long, arduous, often monotonous, every day journey is hidden from us. And this is true, not only of men who attain the most eminent success, but of those who do any kind of faithful work Life, for the most part must be made up of what, for the lack of clearer insight, we call drudgery; which is really discipline and training of all that is highest and best in us. There are times when most of us feel that nothing remains but this dead level of hard work, that no new doors are to open before us and no new prizes to be gained; but no man who is work ing intelligently and faithfully ever loses the power of growth, and the con- sequent expansion of life which comes with it. It happens again and again to all of us that, at the very moment when theoutlook seems most uninspiring, there suddenly comes new piece of work or new opportunity which brings back the freshness of our spirit, the joy of our lator, and makes us feel that we have taken a long step forward. To those who are faithful life continually renews itself, not only in opportunities, but in its promise and its rewards Christian Union.

A circular letter appeared yesterday from the Republicans which has ma terially increased the breach between the two parties, and it would require but trifie to bring about serious trouble. The more conservative men of both sides. however, are endeavoring to bring about better feeling, and are advising temperate utterances and deprecating acts not in every way consistent with the law.
