A Type of the Busy, Successful Man.

It is said that on East Buffalo n. T.
auctioneer, who lately broke the record
by selling 345 horses in one day from
one auction-block, receives $500 a
year for two days work in each week
at East Buffalo, This is $3.50 week,
or $75 day. The same man receives
$4,000 year for two days work each
week in Philadelphia, and because he
can not stand any more travel, he has
refused $4,000 a year to add to his
labors one day in the week at Chicago.
Thursdays he has to himself; and on
that day he runs horse auction OF
his own in Richmond, Va. He seems
to be type Of the busy and success.

DEFEATING THE LAW

Temperance peopl" in Wales are beset by
the same discouragements that confront their
brethren in this country. The Welsh have
experimental with the plan Of allowing
liquor to be sold on Sunday to travellers with
the same result that has been experienced in
this country. Bytacit consent 1t seemed to
be settled that q person who journeyed three
miles was traveller within the meaning Of
the law. Latterly nearly all Wales hes
seemed to be given to short Sunday excur-
sions, and the good people are puzzling their
brains to find some new method for protec-
tion against the liquid that 'biteth as q

Personal cosrAcr IN CHRISTIAN WORK.

Personal COSThCF In CuhiSllAN hohh'
Jesus was not afraid to come into personal
contact with the people be came TO save.
The mistake is being made contin ually, by
the professed followers Of jesus, of trying to
reach the people by preaching to them at
arms length. Jesus touched the leper as be
healed him. Th- successful Christian work
er will not be afraid to mingle with the
people he is trying to lead to Christ. Jesus
knew that nothing could take the place Of
the personal touch. II We are to have success
in souI-winning it will be by following
closely the plans Jesus carried out.
In church where the pastor made it his
special business to be among his people, one
of the members of his church was ssked tue

among US and he seems to think that is the
most important part of his work. When be

SWISS EXHIBIT CLOSED.
The Commissioner Has Falling Out with
the Worlds Fair Managers.

Gil6 WUI1u oil Ol o.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, May 22.-The Swiss ex-
hibit in the great manufacturers and
liberal arts building at the Worlds
Fair is temporarily closed. James Per-
renoud, the Swiss commissioner,
claims that his government has
been treated with indignity by
the United States customs officers and
lie ordered the Swiss section to be
closed until the minister of Switzerland
at Washington who has been notified
has obtained satisfaction.
Saturday afternoon P B. Nemitz, the
agent Of thirty Swiss exhibitors, and
having IN charge over 100000 worth of
exhibits, was arrested for selling dia-
mond brooch which was held in bond
by the United States customs office. AS
soon as he was arrested two customs
officers were put in charge of
the exhibit, which was closed by them.
Commissioner PerrenOud did not hear
it until last night, when one of
his assistants told him. He at once
communicated with the CUSTOM.
house department and demand
ed to know why United States
officers had been placed in charge of
property under the guardianship of
swiss, officers without notifying him.
lie also sent a dispatch to the Swiss
minister at Washington, notifying him
Of the alleged indignity, and pending a
settlement Commissioner PerrenOud
temporarily closed the Swiss exhibit.
Speaking of the affair this morning he
gaid that he did not hold that the United
itates officers were in the wrong in
arrestng the agent but he claimed that
he as the representative of Switzerland
should have first been communicated
with. CAS- soon as [ heard of Nemitz's
arrest, he said, 81 formally dismissed
him from the service. But [
claim that the Swiss exhibit is
practically on Swiss soil, and.
United States officers have no right to
trespass. Without saying word to me,
they came and took possession of the.
property of certain subjects of the gov.
eminent of Switzerland and placed it
III charge of United States officers. This
they had no right to do. | had issued
orders to all of the agents telling them
they must under no circumstances sell
any of the exhibits under penalty Of
the United States laws"
Continuing, Commissioner Perrenoud
said that he had at once ordered the
entire exhibit closed and notified the
envoy of his government at Washing
ton OF the transgression of the United
States officers. Il then went to other
foreign commissioners" he went on to
say, and they told me | had done ex-
actly right. We will hold meeting at
the administration building this after
noon and at that meeting / will offer a
resolution that all foreign exhibits be
closed until this matter be settled.'

remain in the board longer than his
present term, which ends October next.
The board of directors met to-day.
Previous to the session Mr.. Willard,
chairman of the executive board, au-
thorized statement in regard to his
retirement from the craftsmanship as
well as from membership in the board
In this Mr.. Willard says that on March
l, 1898, Immediately after the publica-
ton of the reply of the Northern Paci-
fic board of directors to the
report Of the committee of stock
holders in accordance with a
long entertained intention, he adj
dressed. to President Cakes a formal
letter of resignation from the board.
The letter was also accompanied by a
personal letter in which he fully ex-
planned his reasons for the step. The
reasons for the step are in consequence
not given.
President Cakes, in a letter of reply,
which was strictly personal, while rec
ognizing the force Of Mr.. Wizards rea-
sons for resigning, urged him to with
draw his resignation, explaining that the
company urgently needed his as
sistance in funding the floating
debt Mr.. Willard acceded to this
request with the qualification that
under no circumstances could he serve
longer than the end of October next,
when his present term Of three years
will have expired.
1t is understood by Mr.. Willard s
friends that he will under no circum-
stances accept reelection at the an
nual meeting of the stockholders of the
North American Company, but that he
will continue to be largely interested as
stakeholder, and that he has declared
he will obtain for it, il" desired, such
financial aid as it requires.
1t was thought that at to-day's meet
ing Mr.. Willard would take decisive
step in the matter and retire from the
board. This step, Mr.. Wizards person
al friends said this morning, would not
be taken by him unless he had suddenly
changed his mind, and that he would
in all probability remain in Office until
his term expired.
The Northern Pacific directors ad-
journed until o'clock 1t is stated that
Henry Wizards resignation was consid-
cred at this mornings session.

GERMANY is AGHAST.

Unable to Understand the Financial De-
preston in America.
BERLIN, May 19.-The firm of which
the late Baron Bleichroder, the famous
fnancier and friend of Prince Bis
marck, was the chief, and which still
holds leading place in Ger
man finance, states in an inter-
view that Germany is aghast
at the falling prices in America. It was
expected that an increase of business
and consequent rise of prices would
follow the opening of the Chicago
Worlds Fair The only apparentreason,
the firm states, for the bad condition of
affairs in America, is the unsettled con-
dition of the silver question and the alb
sence in America of a state bank similar
to that Of Germany. Both Ger
many and England would be
glad to have. the silver question set
tied by the Brussels monetary
conference; or in any other way. Ger
many, however, will not adopt BIZ
metallism: Germany owes it's infuen-
tial position to a sound gold policy.
The key to the present position lies in
London. 1t was added in the
expression of opinion by the
Bleichroder firm that they did not re-
gard the proposed intervention of the,
Bank of England in aid of Australian
banks with favor and thought this expe-'
dent would result more unfavorably
than in the case of the Earrings.
