The Secret of His Influence.

The Boston clergyman, Rev. E
NJ p. Wells. who will be remembered
by many of our citizens, was early in
life schoolmaster. He told me that
he regarded among the most impor.
tant OF his duties that of playing with
his boys at their hours of recreation,
and so he always insisted in joining in
their games of ball and marbles and
other pastimes in some capacity that
should, as it were. bring them to o
common social level at least once in
the twenty-four hours; that thus he
had an opportunity to know and love
them free from the restraints of Official
position. and that they were drawn
nearer together in heart for their
work. Yes" he said. as his mind re-
verted to those days. chad | TO choose
between the two L think would have
let another man hear their lessons,
but l would have insisted on my right
to play with them; l could thus have
done more good and the lessons would
have come out all right "-BOston

TWO GIANTS.

In beautiful country, not far away,
Two giants there are who hold royal sway
And rule the people with iron hand
And make them bow to the Kings command
They are terribly strong, as you might suppose
And careless of m aking friends or foes
Determined to do as they Goose, for that's
The way Of colossal autocra:s.
In a lofty castle on top Of thc hill
Dwells the high and mighty giant VIII.
The sound OF whose voice Is distinctly hear
From Maine 10 Alsska-upon my word,
Oh, he is Boanerges true,
And many herculean tasks can do,
And none can match him in strength or skill
Or change the course Of his giant will
LIS there aught to be done on the mountain steep,
Are there seeds TO scatter, or fields 10 reap,
Trees TO fell, and houses to build,
Meadows anywhere to be titled,
Evils 70 stop and wrongs to right
Foes unnumbered to put to flight
A hero needed to lead the van,
I WILL is always the foremost man
Tho others may choose to neglect their work,
He never is known his duty to shirk
But firm and constant is at his post,
The giant chief Of q conquering host
But down at the foot OF the hill there stands
In the shadowy depth Of the forest lands
A lofty structure that doomed up quite
AS high - the castle on wind-swept height
Well known to the people all round about.
The ugliest creature that ever you saw
Yet among his subjects his word is law.
Is there any thing going on-in fact
Is there any one needed to promptly act.
To queu riot, or take command
The giant WONT is never on hand
Te T9a aetsfm Inc was hs bad
OF making It known TO great and small
That he took no part in the thing at all.
"Hammer and tongs." he was wont TO say;
saThunder and Marsi Get out of my way"
(And oh but his voice was loud and roughI,
sI tell you I won't-and that's enough"
And so there were fields that remained untitled
Farms neglected and barns untitled,
Homes In ruin, and wrecks q score,
Easily laid at this giants door.
Greater than ruin by fire and sword
The damage done by the lazy horde
Who dwell in the castle grim and old,
Where the giant WON'T has his mammoth hold.
And In many q tussle throughout the day
/ WILL and WON'T their prowess display,
And tho hard the fight, is there any need
To tell you which one Is sure to succeedf
For the work of the world is done by WILL
The giant who lives at the top OF the hill,
Who's face is pleasant to look upon,
And who's always found with his armor on.

CHICAGO, June 81. = Uncle Bob.
Uncle Bob. That was the yell rising in
dlscOrdant triumph on the combined roar
of the 10000 voices at Washington park
today. If the noted Kentucky thorough
bred S familiar name had really been uncle
OF tn thousands shrieking his cognomen.
he could not have responded more gracious
~. With a ridiculous ease the noble blue
grass beauty plunged forward down the
long stretch of spongy mud and jumped
past the judges a winner of SlS, 900 in cash
stakes and the first honors of the American
Derby.
A more inspiring spectacle has seldom
been witnessed than the gathering throng
which came to see decided the greatest
event of the western turf. Notwithstand-
ing the heavy rain last night and the for
bidding look of this mornings sky, the
grand stand and the green svard seemed
buried under the swarming people, long
fore the hour set for the races
Gradually the crush increased, and when
the opening contests began, every aisle,
stairway, and the seats was jammed to
sutfocation. The cheering began imme-
dlately on the appearance of the first con-
testant. 1t was Goodbye, followed close
ly with Ben K1ngsbury, Jed, Mount Lee
banon and Sunny Brook. The announce
ment had already been made of the with
drawal of Protection, Frontino, Sinaloa
and Grayson. Last of all came the favor
ites-Uncle Bob and Lucky Baldwin s
entry, sinewy and looking like California
Santiago. While the bulk of the
crowd was shouting itself hoarse,
many others with money on them studied
once again the card where it read: The
third race of the American Derby, sweep
stakes for three year-olds at $3.50 each,
$500 added, 81 900 to second and $500 to
third horse, on mile and half Seven
horses quickly assembled at the posts, and
when the red flag fell the thoroughbreds
were off like the wind but all perfectly
aligned as a file of infantry. Goodbye
was at the first forge a trihe ahead, but it
was only a trife. Passing the
stand Jed was slightly in the lead, with
kingsbury close on him, while Uncle Bob
and Santiago were toward the rear. Now
Good Bye, who had been setting the pace,
gave way to Sunnybrook, the latter pull
ing up with sudden squirt from almost
the last, while Good Bye fell back to be-
come the tail-ender to the finish. Along
the back str, 5ch they came, still closely
punched, when, rounding the turn, Kings
bury led for an instant.
As they entered the stretch,
Uncle Bob was noticed emerging
grandly from the cluster followed by the
California racer, Santiago. Barnes on
Santiago, made plucky effort, but do
what he would the mud seemed to cling
desperately to Santiago's already tired
heels. Amid uproars and bowls of de-
light Uncle Bob passed under the wire
full lengths in the lead. while Santiago
was second, only q of length ahead of
Kingsbury, Jed was fourth, while the
Others struggled in pulling up badly beat
en-. Time-2:55-4.

CINCINNATI, O.. June 23.-The German

who represented himself worsted goods

small amounts from time to time. On

drawn by the Farmers National bank. of

Lotus or some confederate had gone to
Kentucky and notified the bank there that

duplicate was Issued. LOTUS had arranged
SO that all his deposits were secured The
Cincinnati bank sent the original draft to
the New York bank, having received
a draft from Lexington (ky.) bank.
The American Exchange bank wrote back
saying that the original was worthless as
the duplicate had been cashed. Lotus is
missing, and it is believed that other
banks have been similarly swlndled.

ANOTHER ATTORNEY WHIPPED
NJ. e. Lennon Struck While on His Way to
COnrt

ASHLAND. Wis, June ia very SEN
satioDal affray occurred this morning in
connection with the Baker bank robbery
trial. The defendants attorney, Michael
Lennon, was going up the courthouse steps
when he was stopped by John Boyd, d
saloonkeeper and acting deputy sheriff in
charge of the jury. Boyd charged that
Lennon wrote an article in a morning
paper Safeguarding the prosecution.
Lennon denied Boyd reasserted; Lennon
called Boyd liar, and Boyd struck
Lennon, badly fracturing his lower jaw.
Lennon fell; was bel ped up and taken to
his room by friends. Boyd returned to his
place of business on Second street.
Judge Parish adjourned court till 2
o'clock ON account of the fracas. The
trial will probably have to be indefinitely
postponed as no other attorney knows
enough about the defense to conduct it.
Lloyd stands 6 feet 2 inches high and
weighs 24O pounds, while Lennon is slight
of stature and far from strong Boyd
was placed under bonds of $500 on a
charge of assault with intent to do great
bodily harm.
Mr.. Lennon is III pitiful condition.
His head is tightly bound with bandages
and he is unable to talk There are
thousand rumors ahoat as to who brought
about the outrageous assault and in answer
to my request Mr.. Lennon wrote out the
following:
Il was hurrying to the courthouse with
my grip containing evidence in my right
hand and some papers in my left, as it
was time for court to open. AS stepped
up the enterance to the courthouse | saw

we were walking he struck me-
Mr.. Lennon denies emphatically that he
called Boyd a liar. He says after he was
struck he called him coward and a
bully. There is intense feeling her
against Boyd. Judge Parish says he vii

NEW ORLEANS LOTTERY FIGHT.
New York and English Capitalists Vieing
With Each Other.

New ORLEANS, La, June 20.-The COM
plications In the lottery fight are daily in
creasing, and the offer made by New
York and English capitalists" to give
more for the charter to do business in
this state than the Louisiana company pro-
poses has still further mixed things. An
investigation was set on foot today to find
out who the men are who are rivals for the
Louisiana company's business, and the re-
suit has set everybody talking. One thing
has been demonstrated, and that is that
the state will get an enormous revenue if
the lottery business is permitted to be con-
tinued Mr.. Wells, of Richmond, who
made the proposition to the house yester-
day on behalf of New York and English
capitalists agreeing to give 81, 100000
per annum to step into the Louisiana Lot
terry companies shoes, said today: The
syndicate | represent mean business. and
we shall get TIE franchise. Our offer of
yesterday raised the Louisiana compan es
bid $3.50, 900 per annum. If the Louisiana
company makes bid of equal amount we
will offer 81 100000, and are prepared in
case the Louisiana company comes to our
figures, to pay the state S2,OO0.000 per an
mum. Who are in this syndicate? Well
it will all come out soon any way and
will tell you. The syndicate is the Mexican
international Banking company, which
has a concession from the Mexican govern
ment for the Grand Lottery Juarez, "
with headquarters at the city of Juaraz.
formerly Paso del Norte, Mexico. The
tickets of the Grand Juarez are backed by
Gen. John S. Mosby and the Ell Paso
National bank of Ell Paso, Tex The COM
pany has not been organized long, its first
drawing having taken place only last
April, but it is hard after the Louisiana
company, and will prove that it is
dangerous competitor. If it is merely a
question of money as to which company
shall run the lottery business in Louisiana
we will show that we have all the capital
needed

A NEW TEST OATH REQUIRED.
The Arizona Elections Bill viii be Pre-

WASHINGTON, June 23.-At meeting
of the senate committee on territories to-
day it was determined to report CuIlom S
bill providing for a new test oath in
Utah, in place Of the one in Edmunds
Tucker act with the recommendation that
it be indefinitely postponed. In its
stead the committee will adopt a
bill recently reported to the
senate to ensure purity of elections in
Arizona, to the necessities of the case in
Utah, and recommend that for passage:
that the bill contains an oath similar to
the Idaho test oath, which has been sus-
tanned by the supreme court, and which is
not so sweeping and severe in its provis-
ions as the oath proposed in the Cullom
bill.
