ANDY CARNEGIE, the great Republican

It is. American manufactures should

It isn't. This great question of labor

EDITOR HENRY WATTERSON,
He Lectures on the Subject Of
Money and Morals.
He Thinks Too Much Attention l,
Paid TO the First,
While Too Little Is Given to tho Sec
ond-Hs Declares That Those in
Moderate CIroumstAnoss
Are the Happy Ones.

The audience that greeted Henry
Watterson at the Grand opera house
last night was not as large as the merits
OF the lecture should have called out ;
but TO some extent at leaat the lack OF
numbers was atoned for by the intel
ligence, appreciation and enthusiasm OF
those present.
The distinguished speaker was intro
duced in behalf OF the Broadway club by
Mr.. James Burdett, whose incidental al
lusion to the present demoralized condi-
tion of the Democratic party conse-
quent upon ''ts failure to follow Mr..
Watterson's advice two years ago." was
crested with loud applause.
The noted Kentucky editor is very
fascinating speaker. In brief, be is what
may be called a born orator, improved
by years Of practice. His voice is strong,
clear and resonant; his enunciation dis
tinct and his gestures easy and graceful.
He speaks very rapidly and apparently
with but little effort.
For one hour he held the audience
captive, one moment charming by his
commanding eloquence, the next con-
vulsing with laughter by his flashes OF
wit.
Money and Morals was his subject.
The text afforded him an opportunity to
launch off on a wide sea OF thought,
in which he found and held up before
his audience q vast number and variety
OF historical facts, personal reminis-
cences, pleasing anecdotes and unique
illustrations.
A leading thought in the lecture was
"the high standard of money and the
low standard of morals" The
speaker drew thrilling pic
ture OF the evils resulting
from the inordinate love OF money. He
thought that true happiness was not to
be found either among the very rich or
the very poor, but among those of mod
crate means, whose god was not wealth,
but who prize the charms OF home, the
delights of intellectual culture and the
development OF true manhood and
wonanhood above the possession OF a
fortune.

FOUND ON THE sTOOP.
A TWO-MONTHS-0LD BABY ABAN-
DONED BY ITS PARENTS.
The Li..ls ou.oa.t. shlverIaE From .he
at tho NordhoR
Place.

A 2months-old boy baby was found
on the stoop at the house of William
Nordhoff, at Seventh and Wall streets,
at 1890 o'clock this morning. The
babe, although apparently we'll wrapped,
was shivering and crying on account OF
the cold
The house is occupied by Mr.. and
Mrs. Fuller. At the hour mentioned
Officer Mcguire, while patrolling his
beat, heard the faint cry of a baby. He
proceeded in the direction whence the
sound came, and found that it emanated
from the front of Mr.. Fnller's residence.
On rescning the front OF the house he
saw bundle upon the stoop. He could
see something moving in the basket, and
occasionally hear bsbe's cry.
The officer approached the doorstep
with utmost precaution. In a new,
large basket, snugly ensconsed within
the folds of nice, new clothing, was a
pretty blue-eyed boy baby. The little
fellow appeared to be about months
old, anu was ss lively as a young lamb.
The officer was almost dunn bounded.
On realizing the situation he knew that
some unknown person had left the
child there, and it must be taken care
OF. He rang the door bell, and soon
Mr.. Fuller inquired what was wanted.
Officer Mcguire informed him what
had transpired, and Mr.. Fuller at once
communicated the news to his young
wife and sister. Tney we're somewhat
excited over the affair at first, but soon
allowed the officer to remove his hu.
man prize into the house, where the
ladies, upon finding such pretty baby,
went into ecstacy over it. Feminine
like, they kissed the little babe to sleep,
and kissed it again and again.
An examination was made of the con.
tents of the bundle found lying beside
the baeket. 1t was found that it con-
tanned a large number of pieces of cloth
ing, enough to last the babe for two
years. 1t was all newly made and was
Of fine goods.
In the basket, beside the babe, was
found note addressed to Mrs. Fuller,
which said that the writer knew her
and that the babe would no doubt re-
receive kind attention. The note was
written in an apparently feminine hand,
and was not devoid of signs OF culture
and refinement. The note stated that
it was hoped Mrs. Fuller would adopt
and rear the babe. 1t closed by saying
the child's name Was Milton. The note
contained no other name.
After much consultation Mr.. and Mrs.
Fuller, upon advice from the officer, de-
cided to keep the babe for awhile, at
least. or until it's mother can be found
ar an explanation for its abandonment.
Positively nothing is known as to the
parents of the little outcast, and its his
tory may forever remain a secret. An
endeavor will probably be made to find
its parents or relatives.

caused by gas. He repaired to the rear
of the building five or ten minutes be-
fore the explosion, where he says he
vomited and became deathly sick,
finally falling into a stupor. During
this comatose state the explosion oc-
Cured, and he positively insists that
he did not hear the report. This is the
only part Of GIabowski's story that
looks questionable, for the report of the
explosion awakened persons quarter
of q mile away.
Detectives Auble, Hswley and Ben
son investigated the affair yesterday.
They found no evidence to show the
cause OF the explosion, but learned that
1t was one OF the most mysterious cases
that ever happened in the city. Grab
owski was taken before Deputy District
Attorney Davis and his statement taken
verbatim. He told plausible story, ex-
cept to not having heard the explosion
He said he got e drink few minutss
loon and went back to his store, soon
after becoming sick and going to closet
in the rear. Before going to the saloon
he bad been painting. This fact may
have destroyed the odor OF the gas. II
the explosion was caused by gas it came
from under the floor. but this does not
look wholly probable.

LONG BEACH.
The Rain Maker still Has Hopes Of
Success.

The Rain Maker still Has Hopes of
Success.
Lone BEACH, April 17.-Just one
week ago yesterday the Fresno rain
maker at 2 O'Clock in the afternoon n
started in to make it rain here in the
Long Beach country. Two or three
times the barometer got down low
enough to justify his confident predic-
ton that rain was coming" At this
writing there is no visible sign of rain.
and we are afraid the experiment will
prove failore. Mr.. Baker, the rain
maker, says if he fails in this attempt it
will be the first time out OF 16 trials that
he has failed to get rain. He will con-
tinue to try for it until Thursday. his
time being extended two days. In Full
lerton, few miles from here they had
quite hard rain two or three
nights ago, and it is only fair to assume
that it was the result OF Mr.. Baker's
efforts here, the prevailing winds from
the southwest driving the rain clouds
inland toward the foothills. His pro-
cess is of course secret, but this much
he tells, that the chemicals he uses
generate positive electricity and the
electricity makes g rodeo around the
molecules and gathering them together
over a certain magnetized place, the &C.
cumulated moisture is precipitated over
a surface of country about eight miles in
diameter. The experiment is being
watched with interest and it will be q
great pity if it fails.

Greed was the prevailing vice or weak
ness of the age. How prone we were to
overlook the foibles of the rich. How
We are inclined to toady the millionaire.
There were two dangerous elements
in our modern society-two devils,
so to speak. They were the
devil of avarice and the devil
of party strife. All political parties
were now more or less entangled in the
meshes of uncertainty, and nobody could
foretell the outcome of the strife that
was to come in the years just ahead OF
us. A spirit of forbearance and
Cancellation should be cultivated by all.
The man who was too positive was
very likely to be wrong. Somebody
once said OF Carlyle: II wish | conld
be as certain OF one thing as Carlyle is
of everything" Nevertheless every per-
son should have convictions, express
them and live up to them. Moral cour-
age was a quality too rarely seen,
especially among politicians. Politi-
cal honors did not necessarily bring
happiness. A president OF the
United States once said to the speaker:
"For 20 years the presidency was the
goal OF my ambition. / was a candidate
Tor the nomination again and again, At
now, when all my friends are dead and
the enemies whom I had marked for
punishment have become my friends, l
am without a single comforting thought
or aspiration in the world"
George d. Prentiss said OF Henry CLAW
that had be been elected president he
would have been an unhappy man, as
he had made 50 many promises that
could never be fulfilled.
The speaker said that the people of
Switzerland were probably the most con-
tented people ia the world. The gov
ernment of their little republic was run
economically economy, patriotism
and honesty were leading character
istics. Our own country was
the most wonderful of all. We had the
beat government, the most diversified
resources and the grsndest opportuni-
ties. But large as is our territory the
time may come when Mexico and Can
ada will be parts of the United States.
There should be no sectional
etriies or prejudices. People of
New England and those of the south
were really one. and all that YER
monter needed to make him q model
citizen of Texas was 10 days travel and
a change Of apparel. The speaker said
Success in life is happiness. The
happiest old man is he who believes his
old wife is the best woman living. Mil
lions won't save 9 man from the tortures
OF q sore toe. The gambling mania
seems to be universal, and the gambler
never dreams he will lose. There is al
ways before his eyes the mirage OF that
grand capital prize in the lottery OF life.
