SUCCESS IN LIFE.
An Interesting Discourse on a
Popular Subject.

The afternoon services at the Young
Mems Christian Association yesterday were
rendered interesting by a discourse by the
Rev. DR.. q. L. McNutt, of the Pilgrim
Congregational Church in East Oakland,
wle took for his text the passage, - Because
e Are Strong" addressed to young men in
the first epiSlle of st. John i:l4 In the
treatment OF his theme the reverend gentle
man was particularly happy. BY reference
to the history of our time he showed that
many fail where others succeed, and that in
the majority of instances the elements of
success are determination, coupled with
perseverance Young men, he said, must
hrSt encourage an ambition within them
selves to be successful. BY so doing thew
cultivate the seeds of strength. but as
strength without training is of little use,
they must then train their passions, their in
esnatIons ami their abilities. until they have
themselves we'll in hand. Then, being sue
ccSSful in dealing with themselves, they have
TO take but short step to become successful
in dealing wi~Others. The main clement of
success IS patience, or, as Abraham Lincoln
termed II, pegging away The speaker
illustrated his meaning in this connection by
citing the example of Edison who spent
eighteen to twenty houls day for seven
months experimenting with his almost COM
pleted telephone before he succeeded in
iaIsRA' ll II -lfG Tue dS1lTaIeS, anu WHO, when
asked once by young man the best road to
success, was told to never look at a clock
Following up an other thread Of his theme
Dr. McNutt told his hearers they sh luld be
ashamed to die before the biblical age of
three score and ten, and urged upon their
notice that they had all the requisites for
long life II they but used them properly. He
compared life to bicycle, which, in the
hands Of a careful owner, would las. life

him IN smaSb-up and general disaster
Thus Pulitzer Of the New York World, not
outstanding his great ability, has wrecked
his life in establishing his paper and Is
forced into retirement though compare
lively young man. He did not pay proper
attention to the Sp0kes Of his bicycle Par
nell, too, the Irish statesman, achieved a
certain amount OF greatness but at the last
moment with success almost within reach,
ne failed and involved a nation in his ruin,
because he had not mastered himself before
trying to master others.

THE COUNTS MURDERER.


\ French Detectives Solution of a Mys-
FERROUS Assassination.
The discovery of the facts regarding a
hitherto mysterious assassination has
brought peace to one windUwed heart in
Paris. A year ago the Comte de Vllleplaine
was residing with the Countess at his chateau
of ST. Chanot. not tar from the ancient
city OF TrOyes, in Eastern France. In the
prime of life, with large fortune and good
looks. the Count had plenty OF idle time
upon his hands. He was we'll known among
the village maidens of the vicinity, and thus
made friends with Julie Berthet. julie was
passably handsome, saucy, and not at all
bashlul. She was naturally tlatteTed by the
Counts preference, while he was attracted
by her want Of reverence for the nobility
and her free and easy manners. Julie had
lover named Aube, who was not over
pleased at this proof Of jules powers of
fascination, and decidedly objected TO its
further exercise. The hand ONE Count,
| however, paid little attention to his rivals
| ill-cOncealed dislike, and continued 30 press
| his salt with characteristic ardOT. These
| events occupied the late--winter and
| early spring months, and May was
| Just Tipening into June when one morning
| a peasant passing along a byway came
upon the body Of the Count lying stiff and
| cold almost within the shadow of his own
residence. The local police were at once
set TO work upon the case, and exhausted
all the resources of rural ability without
gaining the slightest clew to the assassin.
In the meantime the widowed Countess,
who had removed to Paris to distract her
mind from painful associations, began tC
hear unpleasant rumOrs in her letters from
! home. These rumOrS stung her to the
quick. and without delay she laid hel
| troubles before NJ. Goron, head of the Paris
detective force. N. Goron at once confded
the case to one of his bist men, by name
! Bastart who took the first train for IrOyeS
and began the quest which has just ended
successfully. Disgusting himself as hawk
or, and penetrating al the roads and lanes
in the vicinity of the ancient capital oil
Champagne, he made himself thoroughly
acquainted with the district. Finding IL
his rambles quiet country inn, he made i
his headquarters, and SOON discovered tina
it was also the rendezvous of a gang Of
poachers. Among these was Aube, who
W S arrested. and finally confessed that be
had done the Count to death. He is now
awaiting his trial at the aSsizes. -Londor

! First Session of the Trades Council Ex-
ecutive Committee.
The first meeting of the newly elected
Executive Committee of the Council of Fed
Grated Trades was held yesterday afternoon.
W. j. B. Mackay was chosen temporary
Chairman and c. II. kretlow acted as Sec
rotary. For nearly four hours the griev-
anceS of various labor organizations were
heard, but in the majority of the cases the
nature of the complaints was in such a con-
dition that the committee deemed it best not
to make them public.
The differences between the 'Longshore
Lumberman and the Coast Seamen's Union
were heard and referred to a committee con-
Slsting of MesSrs. Pye, Valentine and At
kins. This subcommittee will soon confer
with the 'Longshore Lumbermens, Coast
Seanen and Steamship Sailors unions and
attempt TO arUltrate the difficulty. The
lumber-hand!erS claim that the coast sea-
men have been unloading vessels at rates
much lower than those established by the
'longshorenen.
1t was reported that the early closing
movement IS being resisted by one of the
largest dTy-goods stores on Market street,
the proprietor having broken his agreement
to close at the times specified. A committee
was selected to wait upon the proprietor to-
day and eudeavor to persuade him TO live
up TO the agreement. 1t this fails a boycott

The horSe-Shoers asked for assistance in
enforcing the boycott on Doyle's shop 1t
was decided to refer the matter to the
Brewery Workmen, as some eighty horses
used IN hauling the brewery wagons are
shod at the shop. 1t is thought that the
drivers can cause these horses TO be shod
elsewhere.
A special committee was appointed to in
vestigate the controversy between the Ma
tional Brewing Company and the United
Brewery WUrkmen of the Pacific Coast,

these: Life's destiny is often determined
by parrntage; What we are may fash out
in great surprises, in ages to come, either for
good or evil; true strength does not weaken
itself by exaggerated statements; great
power, without great wisdom, becomes
tyranny; it is always well to profit by the
experiences of others.
