family worship, was one morning in
vited by the provost to take the read

himself afterward Carlyle, by acct
dent, opened the Bible at the first
chapter of the Book of Job. He began
to read this slowly and intelligently,
pausing after some clause, as if to
mediate on the circumstances and
take in the whole meaning. On he
went, the servants wondering, the
provost ''dumfoondert. Yet no one
dare to interrupt the sage, as his face
was getting all aglow. The time passed
on and yet he was only heating to the
work. After finishing the whole forty
two chapters he quietly closed the
Bible and remarked: THAT is mar
velous life-like drama, only to be APP
preciated when read right through. -

were engaged in the construction of
the upper part of a caiSson used in the
excavation work for pier foundations of
the new Louisville x Jacksonville

in the strong mid-river current, broke
from its mooring. The chamber. four

DANA MADE AN ISSUE.
Republican Eagerness to Sling Mud at
Mr.. Cleveland.

The desperate desire of the protec-
tionists to divert public attention from
the tariff question is singularly illus
tratcd by the cagerness with which the
Republican papers have backed up the
New York Suns blackguard assaults on
cx-President Cleveland. That paper
has recently been publishing coarse and
disgusting falsehoods concerning an al
legged enormous increase in Mr. Cleve-
lands weight. Even if they had been
true the stories are such as could not
have found their way into any decent
newspaper. reports, of the World

Cleveland had any thing to say
in response to these stories. Mr..
Cleveland wrote out and handed to the
reporter a paragraph, saying that he
had not seen the article, as he never
reads the Sun, but that he judged from
what the reporter told him that the
editor of the sun had at last hit on
subject that he supposed would annoy
him (Cleveland). The reporter pub

represented as denouncing Mr.. Dana IN

THE HEATHEN CHINESE.

Report of Dstus f. Coon. Chinese Inspect
or of the Treasury Department at san
Diego, Cal. the Invasion of the
Country by Chinese and the Manner of
Their Coming In.
WAsHINGToN May 15-The Secretary
of the Treasury sent to the Senate yes
terday report of Datus Z. Coon,
Chinese Inspector of the Department at
San Diego, dated April 81. Mr.. Coon
writes that the Chinese are coming into
the United States despite the efforts OF
the customs officers to keep them out.
The arrests made last month, he thinks,
had d salutary effect in checking the
traffic. Twenty-six Cinnamon are now
in custody and the Portuguese Captain
of the schooner Benicia Boy is in jail
for having brought ten Cinnamon
within the United States unlawfully.
One of the Chinese employers of the
captain has been arrested on the cap
tains confession and the other is being
pursued.
Thirty complaints We're filed by Mr..
Coon, with the United States Commits
sioner during the month Mr.. Coon
thinks the present force entirely in
adequate to prevent the smuggling
which is going on over the Mexic an
border. The Scott act, he says, Is prac-
tically a failure. because while a China
man is under arrest he is able to make
arrangements with his friends to bring
him in again and to take him to some
other town where he will not be known.
The smuggling of Cinnamon is very
profitable, and has heavy capital behind
it. The price paid in China for each
Chinaman safely landed in the United
States is S14O. The order of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury prohibiting the
transfer of Cinnamon in transit at
San Francisco, Mr.. Coon says, was most
fortunate, and will check the traffic for
time. But as Canada is too cold and
Mexico too poor for the Chinaman, he
thinks some other method of getting in
will be found. Unless treaties on the
subject are made with Great Britain
and Mexico. he thinks the exclusion of
the Chinese will be very difficult.
Mr.. Coon thinks the bills which pro-
vide for the return of the Chinaman to
the country from which he was SNUG
gled in, are defective. He thinks this
provision expensive and useless. He
thinks the Cinnamon, after trial, should
he returned 70 their own country, with
the threat that if found in America
again they will be imprisoned for a
long term. He thinks also that a photo
graph should be given with each Chi
neSe certificate

A ROMANTIC CAREER
The Notable Deeds of William, Earl O.
Craven, in the Sixteenth Century.

The Notable Deeds of William, Earl OF
Craven, in the Sixteenth Century.
William, Earl of Craven, had a
Notable career, and the story of his life,
could it be told in detail, would be
fascinating one His father was born
in Yorkshire, his parents being poor
peasants, When mere boy he de-
termined to seek his fortune in London.
He tramped all the way from his native
town to the metropolis, where he found
employment with a draper. Bright and
Industrious, ne quickly learned the
business, and before many years had
gone by set up for himself He pros
pered exceedingly acquiring great
wealth, and finally being chosen Lord
Mayor of London. When he died he
left great torture to his son William
This, however, did not satisfy the young
man, whose ambition was to shine in
society, because wealth without pedi-
gree in those days was not held in as
high esteem as it now is.
Military renown was the only thing
which made up for lack of a gentle birth.
Craven consequently became soldier
of fortune. first joining the army of
Henry. Prince of Orange, and acquit-
ing himself with honor and distinction.
Then he fought under Gustavus
Adolphus, and led the forlorn hope at
the storming of Crentznach Though
the first assault was repulsed, Craven
with determined bravery led a second,
which proved gloriously successful. He
was severely wounded, and Gustavus
knighted him as he lay on the ground.
When he had had enough of war he re-
turned to England. He at one time
gave Charles II. no less than $50, 900 in
one sum, and after the restoration he
was rewarded by having conferred upon
him the title of Earl. During the great
plague in London in 1865 Craven re-
manned in London to help the poor. en-
courage the timid, and preserve order.
Whenever a fire took place he was sure
to be present, 50 it became a common
saving that his horse could smell fire
before it happened. His city birth,
warlilke fame and his romantic connec-
ton with Eliza beth, Queen of Bohemia,
rendered him the most popular man in
London, and his protest was more eff
fective in dispensing a mob than a
regiment of soldiers. He died April 9,
1896, at the age of eigh ty- eigh Chicago

Almost every one cherishes a de-
sire, upon occasion, of doing par
ticularly good thing. But it is possible
to SO concentrate the thoughts upon the
single desire to do we'll, that it seems
impossible to decide what it would be
well to do. No good is likely to be ac-
complished by the mere wish to be
well-doer. 1t is the work of the we'll
doer to know just what it would be well
to do-and to do it. a particularly good
thing is more likely to be done in that
way than in any other way.-Exchange
