Burning the Candle.

Thousands of women whose mission

was the way of the sinner instead of the
way OF the reformer, says a writer in
Harper's Bazar. In blind devotion 20
their higher aims, in concern for others
good, by the haste and waste of them
selves, they accomplish just one thing
certain-their own end. Death is un-
happily not always the end, nor does
the light of reason always fail, leaving
them in mumbling -, oblivion of the
wreck they are. The end comes rather
as wise old lady described, cautioning
a young girl, who was giving her days
and nights to the Improvement of hu-
manity: Don't do it. my dear. Be good
you must; be great if you can, but in all
things and above all things be moderate.
1t profits the world nothing to burn
your candle at both ends and for your
self the result is awful You do not
thus consume the candle in a brilliant
ilare OF unselishness. No, you lust
burn it quickly down to a useless mass
OF grease which remains obstinately
where it dropped unsightly to every-
body and slow, painful retribution TO

GREAT PLOT
NationaIists Say South African
War Resulted From a Bold
Conspiracy.


Delegates &c the number of several thous
ands, representing county councils, borough
corporations, district councils, branches of
the United Irish league and kindred bodies,
met in national convention in the Dublin
rotunda yesterday to 'recreate the Irish
party
John Redmond, who presided, said it was
the parliament of the Irish people," Sew
enty-fve Irish members Of the house Of
commons were present and several priests
were on the platform.
John Dillon, amid cheers, proposed a reso-
luton to the effect that the South African
war was entered upon in pursuance of a con-
spiracy, to deprive two free nations Of their
liberty in the interest of capitalists and
mine owners.
He read letters from Boer generals giving
instances of the alleged brutality of British
soldiers in South Africa, and also the death
notice of Boer boy OF eight in the camp
at Port Elizabeth, whose father had re-
fused to surrender and whose home was
blown up with dynamite.
According to the notice the child and his
mother were deported hundreds of miles
and fed upon pea soup.
The lads death, Mr.. Dillon declared as
'cowardly murder"
Intensely excited by Mr.. Dillons speech
the assembly broke forth into fierce cries
and protests against the conduct of the war.
The resolution was adopted unanimously
and the convention ordered it telegraphed
to the president of the Afrikander bund.
William O'Brien introduced a resolution
excluding Timothy NJ Healey from the Par
lamentary party. While their differences
are of a personal character he urged that
for the sake of unity Mr.. Healy's exclusion
was necessary.
Timothy Harrington who was frequently
interrupted said that if the action of the
delegation plunged the country into the
vortex of despair, future generations would
curse the convention and those who partici-
pated in it.
Hog wash!" yelled an OBrienite in the
gallery. 80

rington, which caused protests and cries of
HE is calling his fellow patriots hogs
Mr.. Harrington after the chairman had
admonshed the convention to give him q
fair hearing, made temperate appeal for
harmony.
After other speeches an amendment TAX
ing the bitterness out of the resolution was
proposed by Father McNeece, but this was
rejected overwhelmingly and Mr.. O'Brien's
resolution was adopted, only % hands
showing against it.

COPPER NINE FOUND AT SEA.
Boston Wreckers Stripping Remains
of the Old Steamship Franklin.

Boston Wreckers Stripping Remains
of the Old Steamship Franklin.
The people of East Moriches, L. l., are
somewhat indignant over the action OF
party of Boston wreckers who have swept
down upon the wreck of the steamship
Franklin, which lies in the ocean Just off
that place. The wreck has long been a
landmark for pilots and coasters. 1t is to
be blown up with dynamite so that the
wreckers can recover the copper and yellow
metal, of which large quantities are in the
machinery and woodwork Of the ship The
wreckers say they have authority to remove
the wreck under United States law which
says that a ship is considered abandoned if
no work is done on it by the owners for
three years.
The Franklin was a side wheel steamship
belonging to the New York. Southampton and
Havre line. She was considered q large ship
in her day, being more than 25O feet in
length. She was a fullrigged sailing ship
as well as a steamer. Her igurehead was
a heroic figure of Franklin holding roll
in his hand. This fgurehead may still be
seen in Bellport
The Franklin struck the outer bar in
dense fog July H. 1854. A line was run
to the beach and all day lifeboats were
pulled to the ship and back again, conveying
passengers, mail bags and valuables Dur
ing the night the ship came over the bar
and struck broadside the beach A line
was run from the shore to the mainmast
head and the cargo was then hoisted to the
masthead and sent ashore. One of the
articles of freight thus sent ashore was
circus pony valued at $1,000. The sand
banked up inshore of the ship rapidly
that in few days wagons were driven up
alongside and the remainder of the cargo
was removed in that way. The insurance
companies employed the best wreckers OBJ
tainable. They kept eight steam pumps run
ming but it impossible to free the ship,
and after weeks of labor the wreck was sold
to the Bells and BENEFITS They and Capt.
Lewis worked on the wreck two years re-
moving material. Her shaft was saved in
tact and was sold at handsome profit as
a proved shaft worth more than an
untried one. The Franklin at the time was
commanded by Copt. Wotton.
The stern of the ship broke off and washed
ashore some months after the stranding.
About six years ago her bow with forefoot
came ashore and was wrecked for the metal
it contained. There is still a large part of
the hull and the machinery left, besides the
copper of the ships sides and bottom, which
are buried in the sand The Boston men
working on the ship expect to realize $4,000
or 81 900 from their labors.

SELL CAST-OFF X RAlMENT.
What the Dealers Do With the Second
Hand Clothes They Buy.

Hand Clothes They Buy.
What do you do with the second hand
clothes you pick up from men who sell
them to you?' asked an inquistive person
of one of the buyers who stopped him on
Broadway the other day with the stereo-
typed query: ANY old clothes to dispose
of, sir, at a fair price," The questioner
had the general impression that the clothes
were cleaned, patched up, and made over
as best they could be- and were then sold to
the misft clothing houses about town, or
possibly to the slop-houses of the lower
East Side. They are sent to the South
after they are fixed up as best We can, and
sold there to the negroes. Ready made
clothing is so cheap nowadays that there is
no market, especially for clothing with
large checks or for fancy vests such the

things if the color is lould enough Next
he wants trousers with big checks and

"Those are the things men in my busi-
ness pay the most for. Even the fiashiest
men tire of such things quickly, but the
darky never does. Because the sport does
tire of them they come to us in such good
shape that darby will mortgage a months
earnings to get some of those that could not
be worn on Broadway without almost Gre
ating riot Here's tip that will surprise
you in all probability Some people will
not sell cast-off clothing, but give it away
to charitable institutions for distribution
among the poor. Now, there are more tricks
about our business than you would suspect,
for we get those things all the same in a
great many instances. There are matrons
in these places that receive cast-Off cloth
ing for the poor. Their salaries are not
large, and they have just great a fancy
for fneries as have women in other walks
of life. Some of these matrons with an
eye to the main chance know all about our
business and about the sort of clothing we
want to get hold Of So they quietly alb
sorb such of the gifts as they know some
of our people will buy, and sell them to us
for shipment South No one Is any the
wiser, and the women get little pin money
in that way. We get the goods, and no one
is hurt, according to my way of looking
at 1t.
Mind you, / do not say that all matrons
in all institutions do that sort of thing; only
some matrons in some places, for there are
some Of the women that we cannot do busi-
ness with in any way, though we are con-
stantly trying to increase our clientele"
Then the inquisitive one wandered on, won
dering whether the old-clothes man was
lying to him as means of preventing him
from giving away his cast t-off clothing. He
could hardly believe the yarn about the
matrons, even though there was possibil-
ity of it's truth. But he is still wondering
for it is one of those puzzles that are very
difficult Of solution.New York Times.

This is not true of college men. The

But would it not be wise for our col

love Is all bosh and sentimental non
sense. At first they repeat it as a
clever saying to show their emancipa-

is often repeated, soon becomes half
truth and as only that is real in which
we have implicit faith, true love, to
them, as we'll as to other scoffers, in

Those of us who have carefully OBJ

secret power that prompts men and
women to sacrifice, to suffer, to toll
for each other. Call it love, regard

not belittle the feeling by talking flip

FURS ARE FINE THIS YEAR.
DrOuth During the Summer Was Good
for the Animals.

1T is truly an ill wind that blows good
to no one' remarked a skin buyer for one
of the big fur houses of the city, says
writer in the New York Times. AXE last
summers drought as an instance. 1t re-
suited badly to the crops of farmers up in
New England, where l have been securing
the country for a couple of weeks past. Men
who have liking for fly fishing bewailed
the lack of rain, for the streams ran dry
and trout perished by hundreds in some of
the mountain streams. On the other hand.
the drought was good thing for the hunt
ers and trappers that | have to deal with.
They have found that the few mink they
have caught this year have an unusually
rotound appearance. They are as fat as
butter and the fur is better than it has been
for years Country weather prophets will
tell you that this is because we going
to have a winter of unusual severity. There
may be something in that l won't deny it.
But when it comes down to hard facts
the reason for the better fur of the mink is
due to the fact that the animals have had
better feeding than they have had for years
past. They are great fish eaters With the
trout streams reduced to mere ribbons Of
water the big trout all went to the deep
pools and became prisoners there. With
plenty of water to move about In trout
is abundantly able to take care of itself
against the mink. But, imprisoned in the
pools, the mink that has not had all the
trout he wanted this summer has been a
lazy beast They have been able to simply
gorge thmselves, and that is why the mink
are SO fat and sleek this fall. l think the
catch OF mink skins this winter. when the
season is really on, will be the finest we
have had in long time. So you see the
drought worked we'll for my business, even
though it was little hard on the farmer
and tho fisherman"
