How Raphael Settled His Bill.

Raphael, the great Italian paint
az, whose celebrated Biblical pic
lures are worth fabulous sums of
money, was not a rich man when
young. He encountered some of the
vicissitudes of life, like many an
other genius. Once when travelling
he put up at an inn and remained
there unable to get away through
Lack of funds to settle his bill. The
landlord grew suspicious that such
was the case, and his requests for
a settlement grew more and more
pressing. Finally young Raphael in
desperation resorted to the follow
ing device:
He carefully painted upon a table
top In his room a number of gold
coins, and placing the table in a GER
tain light that gave a startling eff.
feet he packed his few belongings
and summoned his host.
There" he exclaimed, with a
lordly wave of his hand toward the
table, lis enough to settle my bill
and more. Now kindly show the
way to the door,
The innkeeper, with mang smiles
and bows, ushered his guest out,
and then fastened back to gather up
his gold. His rage and CONSERVATION
when he discovered the fraud knew
no bounds, until wealthy English
traveller, recognizing the value of
the art put in the work, gladly paid
him ESQ for the table. Harper's

VALUE OF ASCETICISM.

Into Turkey.

Into Turkey.
When Charles XII fed into Tur-
key, the Turkish soldiers very soon
learned to regard him as a holy
man. 1t was all very well to say he
was only an infidel, but king who
was impervious to love, who drank
no wine, who cared nothing for the
pleasures of the table, who thought
little of money, who lay harder and
Jared worse than the common sol
der and who was diligent in his
religious observancces was, come
what might, man to be honored
and worshiped. Hence, when it
came to fighting, the fierce JAM
zaries would not touch a hair of
Charles head and would rather
lose their own lives than harm him.
And undoubtedly the Turkish SOL
diers in a sense judged we'll. Charles
asceticism no doubt gave him pow

magnetic creature he was, the pos
SCISSOR of the true demonic power,
unless he had SO entirely subdued
/. the longings of the flesh. The vic
tory over the senses which he won
early in life gave him access to that
hill where the air is always clear
and unclouded, and whence, raised
above the throng, one may perceive
the scope and order of the conflict
of life. We doubt indeed whether
many really great men--wo do not
mean to include the second rate men
who have by accident done great
things-in the world of statesmen
and rulers could be named who have
been without a certain touch of as.

comprehension of the ascetic stand

greatest exception, for Alexander,
though he sometimes drank, seemed
to his countryznen an ascetic.
Be that as it may, the ground on
which mankind pay Difference to
ascetism is,clear enough. The ascetic
is prin1a facae man who has won q
victory over powers which ordinary
people feel to be SO strong and so
difficult to subdue. Most men, when
they think of the matter at all, real

REPUBLICAN, LEAGUE.

Leonard j. Crawford Elected Presid emit
Omaha for the Next Convention.
DETROIT, Mich, July 15.-Leonard
j. Crawford, of Newport, KY, was
Wednesday afternoon elected presi-
dent of the National Republican
League. While the contest for the
presidency had all the appearance of a
close struggle, the result can scarcely
be said to have been in doubt. Two
ballots by states were taken, the Sec
ond one being necessary to verify the
first, in which the detailed result could
not be determined owing to the confu-
sion caused by numerous changes of
votes and the persistent airing of local
differences in some of the state delega-
tions.
According to the indications NJ j.
Bowling, of Minnesota, will be re-
elected as secretary, which will COM
plete the leading slate Of Crawford,
Bowling and Omaha for the next con-
vention. The committee on time and
place of next convention Wednesday
selected Omaha, but left the question
of dates to the Nebraska league.
There was no contest over resolu-
tions; the expressed wish of the color
ed delegates for the addition of an
anti-lynching declaration was willing
ly granted. During preparation of
the platform in committee some of the
western members urged the policy of
saying as little as possible about the
sound money feature of the St
Louis platform, but the resolu tions
heartily endorsed that platform in all

1t Cured Her.

A well-known Louisville woman was i'll,
and her physician pronounced her in a
critical condition. Among the sympathetic
neighbors was pretty widow who was
lavish in her expressions of sympathy for
the husband and children. And it came to
pass that she began to sympathize with
them to such an extent that she spent most
of her time at the house. When the wife
was thought to be sinking and the family
were beginning to fear the worst, the
widow walked up to the husband and said:
''Ah, how pity you, Mr.. -, and these
dear children. 1t will be awful if they are
to be reared up without mother to care
for them" At this injunction the wife,
with a mighty effort, raised up in her bed
with the words: ooh, you needn't be wor-
RED; am not going to die. No, will not
die, and [ can get along very well without
your assistance in the future" From that
time the woman rallied, and is now hale
and hearty.-Louisville Dispatch.

HUNTINGTON, w. Va, July 15.-West
Virginia contin ues to be the crisis in
the coal strike. The mines are work
ing at full blast, and organizers are
coming into the state to attempt to
get the men to quit Many are on the
way.
The Chesapeake & Ohio railroad and
Norfolk & Western road are rushing
an immense amount of coal out of the
state. Figures Wednesday became
known for the first time, and they
show that the closing of the mines is
of the utmost Importance to the
miners, if they intend to make their
strike a success.
Their hope is to cause a coal famine,
which would bYing the aid of every
business in the country to stop the
strike.
In the last "a hours the Chesapeake
s. Ohio railroad mas shipped 1, 40 cars,
and the Norfolk & Western railroad
has shipped out l, 100 cars in the same
time. Seven more trains will be put
on the Norfolk & Western Thursday.

NEwBURGH, N. Y, July 15.-Melzin-
gah reservoir in Fishkill mountains,
near Mattewan, burst at o'clock
Wednesday morning owing to the
heavy rains. The water ran into the
creek and two miles below, near Ouch
ess Junction, washed away brick yard
buildings, including boarding house
occupied by laborers 1t is reported
here that nine of them were drowned
and others are missing.
PoUGHKEEPsIE, N. Y, July 15.-
News of the bursting of the Beacon
Mountain reservoirs received here
says that three buildings, two of which
were boarding houses, were swept
away by rushing water, and 90 people
are missing.
NEwBURGH, n. Y, July Is The flood
at Duchess junction washed away
about 200 yards of the Hudson River
railroad track. Trains are stalled on
each side of the breach. There were
two reservoirs in the mountain, the
lower one half mile distant from the
other. The upper dam gave way, let
ting the volume of water into the
lower reservoir This also burst, and
the water rushed down through a
ravine. Van Buren, & Timony's brick
yard on the Hudson just below
Duchess Junction are a mile distant
from the site of the lower reservoir.
Without warning the flood reached
them through the ravine and made
terrible havoc. Buildings were torn
in pieces and their occupants carried
away in the raging food. The water
works system was operated by a pri-
vate company and supplied the viii
lagos of Mattewan and Fishkills-on-
the Hudson.
A temporary trestle has been built
at the break in the Hudson River rail-
road track and the Montreal express
south bound has passed over. 1t will
be late Wednesday afternoon before
trains can be run on time.

recovered. Two of them were those of
Peter Mulligan and wife, who kept
one of the two boarding houses for
brickyard laborers that were swept
away by the food. The names of the
others are not known. 1t is reported
that 20 are still missing. Tons of
earth and sand were washed down in
the flood, and men are digging into
this mass to recover other bodies.
Trains were stalled all the way from
Fishkill to Poughkeepsie. One of
these was Cook excursion train, the
passengers on which expected to start
for Europe Wednesday.
The loss of life at Timoney's brick
yard, Duchess Junction, by the food
Wednesday morning, is now stated at
nine. There were about 30 laborers in
boarding houses that were swept
away. All escaped but the nine. One
man had an arm broken and others
suffered minor injuries.
The identity of six bodies recovered
has been established as follows:
Peter Mulligan and wife.
Mrs. John Conroy, wife of the en-
gineer of the brickyard.
