Death of Heroes In Fiction,

1t is astonishing what human in
terest the reading public takes In an
authors heroes and heroines. Mr..
Snowden Ward declares that when
Dickens was writing 1.-THE Old Curiosity
Shop he was overwhelmed with letters
from the most distinguished men and
women begging him not to kill Little
Nell. They declared 1t would be too
cruel and waited on his verdict as an
anxious family on that of the physician
Dickens did not care to do away with
her himself, but it was necessary that
he should do so. Little Nell was char
acter with too little of the earth earthly
about her to assimilate with those
around her, no matter how we'll mean
ing they might have been. Her finer
feelings would have made her unhappy,
and the little country churchyard was
the best place for her.
And Thackeray. How he was i'm
plored not to kill Colonel Newcome.
How he was rated for reducing so noble
a man to poverty in his old age, while
the meaner mortals around him lived
and throve Kipling had to give sec
ond version of his '"The Light That
Failed in order to please the public
and who knows but Shakespeare was
chided for the unhappy taking off Of
Lear and Cordelia? But the public,
though soft hearted in the concrete, is
a flint in the abstract 1t soaks its hand

tive cough of that shady Partisan Ca

WORRY.
What This Foolish, Enervating Hab-
1t Does For Mankind.


1t Does For Mankind.
Worry is forethought gone to seed.
Worry is discounting possible future
sorrows SO that the individual may
have present misery. Worry is the ia
ther of insomnia. Worry is the traitor
in our camp that dampens our powder,
weazens our aim. Under the guise Of
helping us to bear the present and to
be ready for the future worry multi
plies enemies within our mind to sap
our strength
Worry Is the dominance Of the mind
by single, vague, restless, unsatisfied,
fearing and fearful idea. The mental
energy and force that should be concen-
trated on the successive duties Of the
day is constantly and surreptitiously
abstracted and absorbed by this one fix
ed idea. The full, rich strength Of the
unconscious working of the mind, that
which produces our best success, that
represents our finest activity, is tapped,
led away and wasted on worry.
Worry must not be confused with
anxiety, though both words agree in
meaning originally, "choking," or a
"strangling, referring, of course, to
the throttling effect upon individual
activity. Anxiety faces large issues Of
life seriously, calmly, with dignity.
Anxiety always suggests hopeful posi-
bility; it is active In being ready and
devising measures to meet the outcome
Worry is not one large individual sor-
row; it is colony Of petty, vague, in
significant, restless. imps Of fear, that
become important only from their COM
bination, their constancy, their itera-
ton. William George Jordan In The
Saturday Evening Post.

6SOO. 900 Heinz FOunht For

Chicago June to.-Mrs. Lucy Shmerl
of this city has asked aid of the local de-
tective bureau in clearing up a mystery
involving an inheritance of 100000. A
dispatch from Pittsburg some days ago
announced that William j. Wright. vice
president of the Phoenix Brewing com,
pany, had died, leaving the bulk of his
100000 estate to daughter in Chicago,
the child Of woman he had married
there years ago when he was generally
known under the name OF William j.
Moran. Mrs. Shmerl states that her fa
ther, William J. Wright and generally
known under the name of William j.
Moran, left his wife % years ago and
disappeared from the knowledge of his
family. Mrs. Wright obtained divorce,
married n man named Cook and now
lives in this city. Mrs. Shmerl. struck by
the similarity in the assumed names
civilian J. Moran" and civilian j.
Wright" and by the fact that her ia.
Tiers real name was William J. Wright,
thinks it most probable that she is the
daughter referred to in the will

BOARD OF ARBITRATION.
The Kaiser Now the Only Obstacle to
Its Establishment.

The Hague, June 19.-It is important
that the present situation regarding the
board of arbitration question be clearly
understood. The work of the peace con
ference has been virtually suspended on
this point and probably will not be re-
sumed for some days. On semiollicial au-
thority it is said the situation is practi-
cally this: The German government was
opposed in principle to an organized ar
bitratiOn court, and it Is found these
views existed long prior to the confer
ence and that instructions to that effect
were given the German delegates. The
conviction obtained in Berlin that other
powers, notably France, would instruct
their delegates similarly. AS the confer
rnce proceeded the spirit Of Cancellation
advanced, and the desire to accomplish
important permanent results was mani
tested. With this grew up schemes for
an organized arbitration board, notably
the British proposals, to which nearly
all the members rallied with the authori
tative support OF their respective govern
ments. This at once left the German
delegates in peculiar condition, for
which they were not prepared. The diff
Guilty was not at The Hague, but at Ber-
lin. In order to relieve the situation
Count Won Muenster, head of the German
delegation, after long conference with
his colleagues at Schereningen, decided
to dispatch DR.. Zorn and Baron Won
Stengel to inform the emperor personally
of the condition Of affairs.
The question Of the moment, therefore,
Is what his majesty will reply. The most
important fact is that the German dele
CATION from Berlin was accompanied by
Mr.. Frederick Hollis, secretary Of the
American delegation, who will be able to
explain fully the American plan.
There is growing belief that Emperor
William is favorable. and If the other
powers will accept the new plan as the
basis Of discussion the conference will at
once proceed to discuss a definite plan
for an pr.,.t alton board.

P.-I. Changes Hands.

The sale of the Seattle Post Intelli-
gencer, which has been much discus
sed of late, was formally made on
Wednesday and the new proprietofs
took possession of the property yester-
day says the Olympian. Just who the
new owners of the Post Intelligencer
ale not definitely known, but it is
known that the price for the paper
was $35O,OO0. In yesterdays issue
the Piper boys, Edgar B. and George
u, who have built up the paper won
derfully in the past two years, took
formal leave of it in its editorial colt
umns, but stated that they will re-
main in the state of Washington. S.
| P. Weston, for some time past connect
ed with the advertising part of the
paper, has been made business mana
ger. While the names of the new
owners are not given, it is understood
in Seattle that E. c. Hughes and
Maurice McMiken will have control of
the Post Intelligencer under the new
management.
On its first page the Post Intelligen-
Ger printed in large type a statement
refuting the charge that it was owned
or controlled by the Northern Pacific
Railway company. This statement
concludes:
"We here in the most positive and
unequivocal terms that the entire
capital stock of this company has
been purchased and is now owned by
private citizens who are residents OF
the state of Washington, and who are
now and have been life long members
of republican party. They have pur-
chased this property for an investment.
Not one dollar of the money of the
Northern Pacific Railroad company,
or OF any of its officers or employees,
has been making this purchase
and we further add that no corpora
tion whatever has advanced any of the
money for the purchase OF this paper,
directly or indirectly. We are aware
that mere assertions in relation to
affecting the business interests Of in
,iIuals are not always convincing to
the public mind, and we therefore
earnestly invite the attention of all
the readers and friends of this paper
to its future utterances."
It is thought that the managing edi-
tor under its new management will be
ex-senator r. G. Washburn, who was
at one time editor of the paper.
