HOW no MAKE 4 FORTUNE.

The following are extracts from
letter written by Henry Ward Beech
er to his son:
You must not go into debt. Avoid
debt as you would the devil. Make II
fundamental rule-cash or moth
ing.
Make few promises. Religiously
observe the smallest. A man who
m cans to keep his promise can't af-
ford to make many.
Be scrupulously careful in all state
ments. Accuracy and perfect frank
ness, no guesswork. Either nothing
or accurate truth.
Make yourself necessary to those
who employ you by indutry, fidelity
and scrupulous integrity. Selishness
is fatal.
Hold ourselfresponsiblef for high
er standard than anybody else ex-
poets of you. Demand more of your
self than anybody expects of you.
Keep your own standard high. Never
excuse yourself to yourself. Never
pity yourself. Be a hard master to
yourself, steadfast, persevering.
Do not speculate or gamble. Steady,
patient industry is both the surest and
the safest way. Greediness and
haste are two devils that destroy
thousands every year.
The art of making ones fortune is
to spend nothing. In this country
any intelligent young man may be-
not in hurry. Do not make haste;
be patient.

Tonight, near Morrano, at the identical
spot where the attempt of last Saturday
night was made, the outlaws again stopped
the train.
Ties were piled upon the track and set
afire, but for some reason the robbers,
after the train had been brought to stop,
fed from the scene, after firing volley at
the coaches, without attempting to moest
the express car or the passengers. A
tramp who was stealing ride on top of a
car was the only p 'rson struck by the
bullets. He received serious wound in
the thigh.
Morrano is flag station between Ripon

it is railway station except a sidetrack,

While at her dock here this afternoon
the Queen was subjected to rigorous
search by the customs officers in quest of
contraband intoxicants. Nothing, aside
from small amount of private stock,
was found. As a result OF the fact that a
regular saloon outfit was seized on the
steamer Al-Ki yesterday, all the ships now
bound for Alaska will be subjected to a
careful search before sailing from this
port. Collector of Customs Heustis has
issued orders to search every boat closely
bound for Alaska. The collector acts un-

This trick OF searching AIaska-bound

says: One of the worst wrecks in the his

three miles east of here at about 1880
o'clock tonight. Ten or eleven persons
were killed and as many more badly hurt
The fast mail train, going east, and the

OF all three engines explod ed and tore a
hole in the ground so deep that the
smoki ng-car of the westbound train went
in on top of the three engines and two
wrecked mailcars and balanced there
without turning over.
The passengers in the smoking-car
escaped through the windows. The front
end of this car was enyeloped in volume
of sitting smoke and steam, belching UP
from the wreck below, and the rear door
was jammed tight in the wreck of the car
behind. The wreck caught fire from the
engines. The cars in the hole and the
SIN oking-car burned 10 ashes in no time.
In clim ping from the SIN moking-car several
men fell through the riffs in the wreck

they escaped or were burned to death.

Those Taken Back on the Bristol

VICTORIA, B. c., Sept 8.-The steamer
Bristol returned TO port this morning.
She started week ago for st. Michael
with 200 miners, who were to have been
taken up the river by the steamer Eugene.
The latter vessel sprung a leak, however,
and could not proceei on her voyage,
hence the trip had to be abandoned.
Passengers OF the steamer Bri- tol, ,
which had to abandon her trip to St.
Michael as the Eugene, which was to take
the passengers up the Yukon, could not

RETURN OF THE EUGENE.
Escapes Going to Pieces In Alert
Bay and VIII Probably Be Selza ed

PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, Sept. s.
Not little surprise was created here this
evening at o clock when without pre-.
vlous announcement the stern wheel
steamer Eugene, Captain Lewis, steamed
into port and tied up at the dock. The
cause of the surprise was that only TWO
days ago she was reported to have been
deserted in Alert Bay, where she was said
to be rapidly going to pieces. The old
craft is indeed in bad condition, but is
far from being a wreck. When she started
from Comox. b. c., to st. Michael in tow
of the steamer Bristol it was hoped good
weather would prevail. bur the first night
a rough sea was encountered, and the Eu-
gene having a fiat bottom with but twenty
inches draught began to pound the sea
heavily, and II was realized that she had
started on periIous voyage. First a few
heavy seas served to stave in some OF the
ships bow tim bers, and as she began to
leak badly it was decided that TO save her
it would be necessary to run to harpor at
once. Shelter was found in Alert Bay

"Mrs. Jarley's Wax Work"

This delightful entertainment was
given in Temperance Hail Thursday
night, Dec. End. A large audience at
tended, to the filling of the hall, and
there was not dull moment during
the entire entertainment.
To know that Miss Flora Ballou is
to appear assures a Scotland Neck
audience of successful part; and on
this occasion she represented Mrs
farley as "the only genuine farley
indeed. She made some happy hits IN
presenting her various Figures" OF wax
work. Some two dozen or more figures
were presented and every one was
greeted with loud applause by the
audience and each one seemed pecul
larly adapted to his or her part, from
Susan B. Anthony to the old mar
farley himself.
When the curtain fell at the Close
the audience seemed loath to go, ano
waited until Mrs. farley sent thanks
for attendance and promised to come
around again in the spring.
The proceeds of the entertainment
amounted to about $35 which was to-
the benefit of the Episcopal church
and the Temperance Association.
