change But at last he who blunders beyond certain point, who will no, learn wisdom, is abandoned by his friends. Old Time, the cashier, then meets him at the window with sharr refusal.
 Your account is overdrawn, sir. You are bankrupt Men will no longer ex- cuse you, nor will they trust you. You are written down a fool"
 And l observed that three strange servants came in to carry him out namely, Hunger, Contempt and Des. pair.
 l saw, too, how men and women of brilliant gifts overdrew their accounts. The young actor, who bade fair to stand at the head of his profession be- fore he was tive-and-t thirty, c ounted too highly upon the patience of an admir- ing public, and supposed they would overlook his drunkenness and carou- sals indefinitely. So the people did for a time. But when he had disappointed them night after night, when he neg lected his study and relied on his gen jus" and an occasional "spurt" of splendid work to make up. he passed the point of endurance. Time at his window dishonored his draft. The peo- pie spat him out There were younger, cleaner, more conscientious men to be had. He was ruined.
 So was ruined the great songstress who supposed the world could not get along without her voice. It was in- deed wonderful voice. But she over- drew her account; she fagrantly violated the proprieties of life; she un- dermined soclety by her example. The world turned to find new voice. God is ever raising up new workmen with gifts as grand as the old If not so grand the better sense of the world resolves to prefer and adopt the new instead of the old which has become unclean.
 And so look on women who counted too much on their beauty, and ability to charm, neglecting to be true; on youth who reckoned too highly their standing in the community as children of ''old families" or on education, out ward culture, or technical skill. "We can do a great many things that other people could not; and we shall be tolerated" Quite possible, up to a certain point Clerks and master worlimen there were who were ''sure their services could never be dispensed with, for who could be found who would take their places?" But there is always the risk of an overdrawn ac- count soon; the surety of it at last

An Emperor's Adviser.

The emperor of Austria has for years past found consolation for his troubles in the sympathetic companionship of a former well-Snown Viennese actress, Catharine Schratt, whose counsels are said to have been of the utmost advan- tage to him in many important affairs of state. The emperor is accustomed to drive out to the palace of Schoen- brunn and there, leaving his equipage, he is met by Mime, Schratt and takes long promenades with her in the forest. As result of this friendship the actress is known in Vienna as the vice-empress. Her extraordinary intelligence and clear judgment are valued in the highest de- gree by the emperor.

THE BRIGHT SIDE.

If you should look at the bright side,
 And should look at the dark, Tho you were as poor as little church mouse, And owned horse and carriage and house,
 You'd be richer than l, for mark; You'd he happy with simple pleasures,
 While was counting my woes, Moody and sour and all forlorn, Blind to beauty and finding thorn,
 Where you were finding a rose. There'd be never gleam of sunshine
 But you would enjoy it's light, While l should watch with an anxious gaze For clouds to rise on the clearest days,
 In sky serene and bright When troubled by cares and vexations
 That fall to the happiest lot I'd frown and fret, but you would beguile The weary hours with a cheerful smile,
 Till trials were all forgot. Yes, if you had not a possession,
 And had the wealth of a king You'd be richer than with your blessed sight, That could always behold the side that is bright
 No matter what life might bring.

Institute was yesterday the scene of very
interesting discussion on the subject of mil
itary rifles Colonel Fosbery produced
specimens of the. various rifles which are
now in the hands of the different armies in
both Europe and America, as well as two
patterns of the new weapon which has Just
been adopted by the British army. He ex-
planned the action of these weapons in de-
tail, and, speaking as an expert, without
any national bias or prejudice, gave it
distinctly as his opinion that the English
rifle is to-day far ahead of all others
for the work it has to do. His own
words on this subject are significant, for he
said: 1--WE hold in our hands the best mill
tary small arm in the world
Meantime he called attention to the fact
that the Lebel rifie which is used in France,
had splendid opportunity of showing its
terrible killing power during the recent
riots at Fourmier. One of the little steel
balls used in this weapon was found to have
penetrated no fewer than three of the rioters.
Forty shots were fired, and the result was
that seven men were killed and scores of
men were wounded. The wounds were all
of chastity nature, and all the firing was
nearly mfsless, as it was accompanied by
the very smallest possible quantity of
smoke.

Difficulties Almost Insuperable in the Way
of an Exhibit.
JACKSONVILLE, FLA, May 16.-Flor-
ida's prospects for representation at the
Worlds Fair are not so bright as they
might be, ewing to two reasons:
The States financial condition does
not, in the opiuion of many legis-
Legislators, warrant great expenditure, and
the form in which the bill has been pre-
sented in both branches of the Legislature
is likely to embarrass its passage.
In his annual message, Governor Fleming
recommended that tax be levied for gen.
eral immigration purposes, the greater .por-
tion of the revenue derived from this levy
to be devoted to maintaining
Florida's exhibit at the Worlds
Fair. A bill was presented to
the Legislature as above suggested, the levy
to be q mills on the dollar, and the State
Bureau of Immigration to have the hand
ling of the revenue both that portion
of it designated for expenditure in
its own department and the Worlds
Fair fund as we'll. A 2 mill
tax would yield nearly $500, 900, and if only
half of this were to be devoted to the
Worlds Fair Florida would do herself
credit with that sum. But the economists
oppose the bill in toto. A widespread
prejudice against the present Bureau of I'm
migration incites opposition to the dual
bill

An Insane Frenchman Attempts to Murder
His Family and Is Missing.
UTICA, n. Y, May 16.-Louis Layez a
Frenchman living on farm near Lee
Center, last evening told his wife that he
thought he had better kill her and the three
children and hang himself, presumably on
account of their poverty The wife was
very much frightened, but she put the
children to bed and sat in the dark. At 8
o'clock this morning she awoke the oldest
child, a girl of II years of age, and together
they went to an clubhouse.
As soon as they left the house Layez
arose and followed them. He burst in the
door of the clubhouse with an AK and dealt
his wife blow on the head with the same
instrument. He struck at the girl, but she
evaded him and ran to the house. She
heard her father dealing other blows to her
mother, and hurriedly awoke her little
brother and sister and ran out into the
fields. She succeeded in reaching the
house of a neighbor, about halt mile
distant, and gave the alarm. The other
neighbors were aroused, and the scene of
assaultwa visited. Mrs. Layez was found
lying in the path, unconscious. There were
eight or nine deep gashes on her head. The
nature of her wounds are such that she can't
survive but few hours and at no time has
she been conscious. Layez had disappeared.
He had gone to the barn and took a rope
used to tie the cow, with which it was sup

The Assessment Question and Death Claims

PHILADELPHIA, May 16.-On the open
ing of to-day's session of the Supreme Coun-
Gil Catholic knights of America, resolu-
tion for the appointment of special CON-
mittee of five, to prepare new rate of asess-
ment to be presented and considered by the
next Supreme Council, met with stormy op-
position, and after lengthy debate was with
drawn. The meeting resolved itself into a
committee of the whole, and an amendment
of the bylaws, offered by the Most Rev.
Francis Janssens, Supreme Spiritual Direc-
tor, providing that no member shall be ad-
mitted to the order unless he furnishes a
certificate from his pastor that he is prac-
tical Catholic, was adopted.
Considerable discussion was INDUCED in
in the case of the family of a suspended
member who claimed death benefits. Judges
Coleman and Kelly both spoke at great
length on the subject of the orders liability,
and were of the opinion that the best thing
to do would be to let the whole matter go to
the courts. The report of the Committee on
Law, embracing changes in the constitu-
tion, was adopted The salary of the Su-
preme Secretary was increased from $1,000
to So, 900, and he was allowed S15O additional
for office rent. The salary of the Supreme
Treasurer was continued at $1,000 per an
mum. The committee of the whole then
arose and reported progress, and the Coun-
Gil adjourned until 2 o'clock, and at that
hour reconvened, with the intention of re-
manning in session until the business shall
be finished.

THE END is NEAR.
COKE SHIPMENTS NOW ALMOST AT
THE NOMINAL FIGURE.

A X. of L. Convention Called to Decide
Whether or Not to Continue the Big
Strike-It May Precipitate a Row With
the Outside Strikers.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
SCofTDALE, May 16.-The coke strike is
fast nearing an end. Tonight the operators
claim to have 1850 ovens burning. This is
within 81 per cent of the number of ovens
in blast when the strike first began. At the
beginning of the strike all of the ovens in
the region were shut down but Rainey's
945. The productions of coke equaled
1872 per week. Since the other
works have been resuming, the
production has been increasing every week,
until this week the shipments are estimated
at 800 cars.
Forty Pinkerton guards were sent into the
Redstone plant, near Uniontown, to-day,
and on Monday start will be made. The
old men will first be given an opportunity, but
If not taken, new men to run the plant will
be sent in Tuesday. The plant has 446 ovens.
The Eagle plant of the same company start
ed Thursday, and has now 3S ovens charged.
The rest of the plant will be put in blast
next week as fast as the cold ovens can be
fired.
The district officers of the strikers or
ganization, the United Workers, have ap-
parently become alarmed at the condition
of the strike, and. have issued call to the
Knights of Labor, one of the affiliated
branches, calling Z. of L. convention
here on Monday, the 10Th. In their call
they say it Ehas been charged that the
officers of the district have been conduct
ing the strike in opposition to the rank and
file Of the order, and public opinion has to
a certain degree been influenced against
their cause, and they deem it advisable to
call convention ofNthe X. of L. for the
purpose of having an expression from the
rank and file on continuing the strike.
Just why the convention is distinctively a
Knights of Labor affair is puzzle to ma
jority of the men on strike. While the X.
of L. of late has been the ruling power, the
largest per cent of the men have belonged
to the unorganized and open branch. Should
these demand representation in the conven-
tion and be refused, row will occur and
the strike end in a factional fight.
The Cambria Iron Company gave 15-day
notice to all their employees at the Wheeler
plant, and also demand back rent due, or
the company will proceed against the ten
ants as the law directs
A sensation was created to-day by the an
nouncement in posted notice that the
West Overton works and all connecting
property was to be sold at Sheriff's sale.
Though the men were harshly treated there
in the way of evictions, the most conserva-
tive look upon the proposed sale as a
calamity to the men.
The charge of intimidation and assault
brought against James Mcbride by the man
McKelty was held before Squire Eicher
this evening. Mcbride was bound over to
court on furnishing $500 bail. Both parties
live at West Overton. McKelty was a
striker but had gone to work, after which
the trouble occurred.

A Financier, Missing Nearly Two Years,
Commits Suicide in Canada.
KANSAS CITY, May 16.-Arthur Dean
Queal, aged %, member of the real estate
firm of o. HI. Queal s. Co., of this city,
mysteriously disappeared on the evening of
December Z, 1889. Every effort was made
at the time to discover some clew of his
whereabouts, but without success. On the
18th of April last E. c. Sattley, cashier of
the Kansas City Safe Deposit and Savings
Bank, received through the mail a small
package containing a key attached to a
brass tag, on which was engraved the name
of the Safe Deposit Bank and the number
of the key. The key was from the coroner
of Central Middlesex, London.
Upon comparison of the number with the
Safe Deposit vaults, it was discovered that
the key belonged to the vault rented to
Queal at the time of disappearance. Com
munication with the coroner from whom
the key was received elected the fact that
the key was taken from the body of young
man who had committed suicide by drown
ing in the river Trent, near London, in
April, 1890. Photographs of Queal were
forwarded to the coroner and established
beyond doubt that the body of the suicide
was that of the missing Arthur QueaL

After few unimportant witnesses had

the defense called several witnesses, includ-
ing the venerable W. B. Curtis, of West
Liberty, to testify as to the reputation of
the defendant, but all were compelled to
acknowledge that he had not lived
in the vicinity of West Liberty
for II or Is years, and some of

Main, when he saw DR.. Garrison fire, and
on cross-examination he said DIR. Baird
made no threatening gestures. He had on

Garrison said, 'You won't take that back?"
and then made two or three steps toward
Baird, who stood still, and then fired twice.
