AS it is with the employer in
some measure is it with the en-
ployed. How many servants Of
business, clerks, agents, foremen,
middlemen, as we'll as laborers in
lesser capacities, deem it a right
eous thing to defraud their en-
ployers in their time and their
services. They never put them
selves in that employers place and
test the matter OF service by this
exchange. Not all of the wrong is
on the side Of the employer. The
employe should not forget that as
he measures it is more likely that
it will be meted to him again.
Wise is that man who in serving
puts himself in the place of him
whom he serves. There is promo.
ton and better wages in store for
that man every time.
II the LIGHT preacher could
make laws for the people he would
enact into the constitution a
decree compelling every employer
Of labor as we'll as every laborer,
in so far as 1t Is possible to ex-
change places for one day in each
month of every year, in order that
the appreciation of the differences
in condition might be fairly
understood. Out Of this in time
would come a readjustment which
would result in better wages to the
employed and better service to the
employer. Over the door of every
shop and factory and at the en-.
terance of every mine these words
should be placsrded in box car
letters: Put yourself in his place.

SNYDER INQUEST.
Nothing of a Startling Nature Has So Far
Been Developed.

Port Jervis, N. Y, April 1.-The in
quest on the body of Mrs. Francis Sny-
der developed nothing startling. Drs.
Swartwout and Banks testified that
death was caused by some irritant poi
son causing a powerful depression on
the heart. Mrs. Hattie Griffin, a ten
ant of the same house with the Sny
ders, stated that Martha Whitaker
and her mother, Mrs. Snyder, had fre~
quent quarrels during the last six
months as a result of Martha's conduct
in staying out late at night. She had
frequently heard Martha swear. One
of the quarrels was caused by Mrs
Snyder refusing to let certain male and
female friends visit her during Mrs.
Snyder's illness Whenever Martha
administered the medicine she observed
that Martha went down stairs to pre-
pare the dose. Martha was questioned
as to why she did it. She said: 1T is
necessary to prepare the medicine with
warm water" The theory that Mar
tina was on amicable terms with her
parents was refuted by number of
witnesses The inquest will be con-
tinued at o'clock this afternoon.

Government Forces Lose Many Killed
and Wounded Near Guiana.
Havana, April 1.-Intelligence has
reached here of bad defeat of gov
ernment troops. On March "a an in
surgent force of nearly 1000 men, led
by Varona, Sosa and others, surprised
and attacked the Wadrac battalion be-
tween Guiana and La Fe, in the prov
ince of Pinar del Rio. The battalion
was conveying train of army supplies.
Five hundred rebels first attacked the
vanguard of the government force,
and later 400 men attacked the rear
guard which was then reinforced
Another attack was then made on the
vanguard and left flank and thsstroops
were compelled to form square to re-
sist the attack. Cavalry were also
used in the attempt to hold the rebels
in check, but without avail After q
hot fight the troops were compelled to
retreat. They lost many killed and
wounded. Throughout the fight and
during the retreat of the troops the
insurgents used their machetes with
deadly effect. The greater part of
the convoy fell into the hands of the
rebels. Many oxen that were destined
FOR the use of the troops were killed
oy the extreme heat. With the con-
voy were seventy-four sick and
wounded Spaniards. The official re-
port saws, of course, that the troops
won the fight and that the rebels lost
thirty killed, among whom was an ex~
sergeant of the civil guard.
