No Need to Go to Africa for Them, or to
klondike for Gold.

Rev. DR.. Russell IA. Conwelrs lecture
az the Academy last night, with the sub
joct. Acres Of Diamonds" was mislead-
ing I'm some respects.
The subject was a hgurative one. and
the lecture was not n lecture. but one
Of the best sermons to young men, bust
ness men and women, that has ever been
heard In this city.
Or. Conwell spoke for nearly two hours
on the riches. the diamonds, that lie at
the doors Of every man and woman. and
illustrated his remarks by many timely
and amusing stories.
He emphasized the fact that II was
not necessary 10 20 TO the diamond fields
of Africa. or the gold fields Of the Klon-
dixie to secure wealth. but that right at
the doors Of the citizens OF Richmond lay
untold wealth which only needed devel-
opment. All man needs IS to know
what other people want and then he can
supply that want and thereby gain
wealth.
The sermon was fun OF logic. The
speaker is an orator. and the stories he
told were good. and hence, the audience
were pleased.

gram alleging that Emperor William
was the innocent cause Of the rumor.
The dispatch in question says that
during the New Year receptions at the
Schloss, in the course of a conversation
with some officers, the emperor men
toned that he had received serious
news from Friedrichsruhe This state
ment spread through the city and grew
into a rumor that Prince Bismarck
was dead. No other Berlin correspond
ent, however, mentions this ingenious
explanation.
Among the holiday gifts received by
Prince Bismarck one that gave him
special pleasure was beautifully cary
ed goblet cut from an old yew tree in
the park behind the Prussian ober-
haus and adorned with an inscription
to that effect, together with the Bis
nlarck arms. The gift was accompa-
MED by a pretty poem.
The prince thanked the giver in these
words: with my sincere thanks for
your poetical greeting and the yew
goblet, rich in memories, unite cor

NEW YORK, Jan. 2-Lewis Baker,
United States minister at Nicaragua,
writing from the republic, in personal
capacity, and in refutation of certain
allegations as affecting the admins
tration Of President Zelaya, says: 'I
have known President Zelaya for sew
eral years, and have been conversant
with his official acts, and from a dis
interested point Of observation unin-
f1uenced by partisan passion, which
runs high here, as it~did in the late
mayoralty campaign in New York,
aver that Gen. Zelaya has given the
people of Nicaragua as good govern
nent as they will permit him. During
his four years incumbency as presi-
dent, his political opponents have twice
attempted to elect a successor by re-
sort to revolution, and both times they
failed disastrously. His efforts are for
the preservation of'the peace, the de-
velopment Of the rich. resources of the
country, and the elevation of his peo-
pie. He is endeavoring to educate and
elevate his people by making the pub
lie schools universal; he is endeavor-
ing to develop the country by building

encouraging them to be peacable and
industrious. Foreigners who attend to
their own business and do not meddle
with the politics, which do not con-
Germ them, are fully protected in per-
son and property and are only nomi-
nally taxed, if at all. Taxation on ma

in political conspiracies to overthrow
the lawful authorities, and then they
are taxed to pay the cost of their mu-

emphasize the statement that he Is

fully protected. He is an enthusiastic
admirer of the American people. Of

therlng the prompt construction of the

The Novoe Vremya commenting upon
the respective positions of McLeavy
Brown and NJ. Alexefeff, under the COM
promise effected by an arrangement
according to which the two will work
the Corean customs together, says:
Nobody will regard Mr.. Brown as the
representative of the British flag. He
is a mere official in the service of the
Corean government, directing the Gus
toms. M. Alexeieff will attend In a

relations with Russia"

ment that England is pressing China
to declare Port Arthur a free port.
1t is supposed that the presence of
British warships there Is intended to

BRAINERD, Mimi, Jan. 2.-This

disastrous fire, the worst for several
years. AS a result the Sleeper opera
house, one of the finest playhouses in
Northern Minnesota, is in ruins, and
the large double store of c. D. O'Brien,
with large part of the contents, was
completely destroyed. The fire was
discovered about 1:30 p. m in the rear Of
the opera house, and although the fire
department was quickly ait work, the
huge building in few moments was a
mass of flames. The flames quickly
spread to the large general store Of
Con O'Brien and this was also con-
sumed. The opera house was built in
1882 by the late Judge c. B. Sleeper, at
a cost of $4,000. 1t had a seating ca
