No two lives go through just the
same experiences. Mingled with the
three great facts-birth, life, death
are minor facts as varied and as
numerous as the minutes of life.
Consequently it is foolish in looking
back at life that has been to envy
the opportunities that came to it.,
and that are denied to us. Another
mans opportunities have nothing
to do with us except to teach us
that to every one-great and small
in the possession of natural
.intellect there come Openings for
some sort OF usefulness TO society
and to self In fact to every sensible
being is given the chance to take up
life at one point and to lay it down
at a point somewhere advanced
from the point where it was taken
up. Andin those who know this and
yet do not attempt it there is sin
both against society and self
The man who wills to be heard and
felt will be, just to the extent to
which he is free from self-seeking.
The man with a great utterance in
him or great purpose compelling
him, speaks and works despite all
opposings. There is never a poet
with soul on fire but that finds an
audience nor meyer an unselhsh build
er for others but that has following.
If we talk to an uqechoing world,
the fault is within and not without.
The world always has in some meas
ure an ear for the true ring of SINGER
ity in an utterance, and an eye keen
to note the uusel6sh service:-not all
the world, for to preach such an
idea would be unreasonable:-bu
the world made up of neighbors and
friends. Let us be untrue there and
we need never hope for an audience
outside to make up for those who
doubt us nearby. But true in the
little things, faithful in the small
duties, brave on the battlefield OF
the heart within, it is ;4surd for us
to talis of oar lirsisatioils. ThSrv arr
most distressing limitations in har-
vesting results; but the limits of I'M
credited and unharvcsted influence
are no nearer reckoning than are the
bounds of space or final year of eter-
nifty. Let me quote an example
that is timely and that cannot be
gainsaid. A poor widow with nine
children, often troubled about the
mere feeding OF them, does by them
all her full duty just because that is
the thing lying right straight before
her to be done. One of them goes
forth, strong in the faith his moth
er has taught; millions have felt his
power and they in their turn hand
on the influence of the mother, while
Moody and she rest from their
labors.
The summing up is to humble folk
You will not found an empire nor
mould nation; you will not stir a
world. nor see your name blazoned
high in the temple of fame, but you
can be all that your opportunities
permit you to be. The greatest man
that ever lived was never greater

now BARKER VIEWS THE RACE.
Says Bryan VIII Lose Large Majority
of Popu1ist Vote.

Philadelphia, April 29.-Interest has been
aroused in the approaching Populist Ma
tional Convention which will be held In
Cincinnati, May g. owing to the possibil-
ity of that party turning Its back upon
w. ]. Bryan.
According to Wharton Barker of this
city, who has received the Endorsement OF
some of the Populist state conventions for
President, there will be between 800 and
1000 delegates at the Cincinnati Conven-
tion, the majority coming from the South,
West and Central West.
When asked as to the effect of his nom
ination for the presidency by the Popu-
lists on Mr.. Bryan's candidacy, Mr.. Bar-
ker said:
There can no longer be a doubt in the
mind of anyone who considers the situa-
tion that at least 100000 of the 1000 600
Populist votes cast for Mr.. Bryan in 1896,
will this year be lost to him, and cast
for the presidential candidate of the Peo-
pies party. That the Democratic lead
ers know this fact, is made clear by the
course of Hill, Pattison, German and
their associa tes.
''The Democrats will probably give the
nomination to some one else, and thus
invite the gold Democrats back into the
fold"
Mr.. Barker secuted the idea of strong
opposition to President Mckinley at the
Republican Convention in this city. He
asserted that the Presidents friends con-
troll the machinery of the party and that
he would be renominated.
Mr.. Barker says he thinks the Populis.s
have a fighting chance to win the presi-
Dental fight. With MCKINLEY, Bryan and
Barker as the candidates. he believes the
former will win. but with Bryan not in
fIA AIoIYf Yf.,1.a rfc \
less bright.
II Think said Mr.. Barker, Bryan is
the man the Republicans would like NOM
mated"

Kansas City, April 29.--William l.. Will
son, author of the Wilson tariff bill. while
in the city en- route from Hot Springs,
to Nebraska City. Neb., where he is to be
the guest of ]. Sterling Morton, his as
sociate in Cleveland's cabinet, said:
1T is to be Mckinley and Bryan. Mr..
Cleveland will not allow his name 10 be
mentioned, and Dewey will not get an OPP
portunity to see himself voted down.
Bryan will be nominated, but condi-
tions are so changed that the campaign
will be on newzlines Bot sides have so
many new conditions to confront that the
old tactics will not do. I think the DEM
ocrats will win. We shall go into the fight
solid"
Mr.. Wilson gave expression to his views
regarding the candidacy of Admiral
Dewey.
HE is innocent of the game of poll
tics,' he said, land has blundered IN his
bluntness as blunt people often do He
will blunder out of 1t again as suddenly
as he came In. Dewey does things sud-
denly. He generally anticipates, and
when the row is at its hight he will sur
prise every body by sailing away, or l am
mistaken in the man"

BRYAN HELD A CONFERENCE.
Said Democrats Would Express Sym
Dathy for Boers.


Chicago, April 29.-W. j. Bryan came to
the city unheralded to-day, held private
conferences with prominent party lead
ers, among whom were Mayor Harrison
and ex-Gov. Altgeld, and left on a late
train for Port Huron, Mich.
Mr.. Bryan declined 10 discuss the OBJ
ject of the conferences, which took place
in the rooms of ]. g. Johnson, chairman
of the Executive Committee of the DEM
ocratic national body, at the Sherman
House.
What the Beers would be warranted In
expecting in case the Democratic
party were returned to DOW
or at the coming election was
indicated by Mr.. Bryan after his at
bles from Europe, saying that the hopes
of the South African republics were cen
tered upon America. should Mckinley be
defeated, and Russia.
1.-THE Democratic party" said Mr..
Bryan, would express sympathy for these
burghers fighting for the right to govern
themselves; and the sympathy Of great
nation like the United States Is a moral
factor that has weight. The good offices
of this nation can be rendered according
to the terms Of the new Hague treaty at
the proper time and in earnest. These
offers of friendly service would have a
great influence.
During my recent Western trip in fact.

ment that the natural sympathies OF this

Of the facts that cannot mislead observers

BIG STRIKE is THREATENED.
Said That 10000 New York Railroad
WOrIxInen May Omit To-day.


Buffalo, N. Y. April 29.-The striking
employees of the New York Central have
given the company until o'clock to-mor-
row to grant their demands. If the con-
cessions are not made by that time it is
the intention of the strike leaders to ex-
tend the strike, and they predict that ii
will be the largest in the history of rail-
roads of the East. crippling nearly every
road entering Buffalo.
A strike leader said tonight that with
in twenty-four hours after 1 O'Clock to-
morrow afternoon, 10000 men would join
the ranks of the strikers, If the situation
seemed to demand it,
The members of the board of mediation
and arbitration conceded to-day that the
situation was grave and they did not
disguise their belief that a great rail-
road strike Is imminent After consulta-
ton with railroad officials and Mayor
Diehl and Commissioner Cooper the super
intendent of police to-day promulgated
an order declaring emergency, and calling
the whole police force on duty.
An important conference was held to-
day between Commissioners Delahanty

tion and Arbitration, and The committee
OF strikers, headed by Chairman A. NJ.

willing to accept from the New York Cen
trail were presented. They are Identical
with the original demands including a
general increase in wages and the re-em-
ployment of discharged union men. They
decline to consider any compromise and
say there will be no settlement until the
roads agreed 10 uniform scale of wages.

Waco Sufferers Provided With Food
and Clothing.
Waco, Tex. April 29.-The flood situation
to-day is very much improved, the desti-
tute and suffering being nearly all provld-
ed with wearing apparel and food:
The citizens, especially the business
men, gave out large quantities of clothing
and food, which ameliorated the suffering
to a great extent. The principal difficulty
the Committee Of Organized Charity,
which has the distribution of supplies in
charge, is meeting with is place to house
the homeless. Many houses contain sew
eral families while many persons are llv-
ing in tents fearing the predicted overflow
of the Brazos
The prospect Of the Brazos not overflow
ing are exceedingly bright, as the river
has been steadily falling since yesterday,
and is now only ten fet above the low wa
ter mark.

siderably worse. and many crops will have

BRITISH TO HOLD THABA NcHU.
Pretext Used by the Beers to Harass
the English.

Bloemfontein, April 29.-It is understood
that the British will continue to hold
Thaba Nchu, owing to its strategic i'm
portance and especially with view of
checking future raids.
The dommandoes that had been recent
ly operating in the direction of Thaba
Nchu are melting away, the Beers quietly
returning to their farms, and many of
them taking the oath of allegiance. Ex-
perience has shown, however iu many
cases, that this is only a pretense to en-
able the Beers to create disturbances on
the rear of the British. and vigorous
methods will probably be necessary to
force real disarmament.

ed as Failure-B0er Delegates
Coming to America-Recent Fight
Near Thaba Nchu.
London, April 80, a. m.-The only dis
patch from Lord Roberts published yes
terday was the usual list of deaths and
sicknesses. The flood of newspaper dis
patches to-day describing the recent OPP
erations throws no light whatever upon
the present position of affairs or upon
the great question as to when the main
advance is 10 begin.
The Standards announcement that
Gen. French's cavalry is returning to
Bloemfontein is clear proof that there is
no further hope of catching the retreating
Beers, and the London papers are be-
ginning to display impatience at the prac-
tical failure of the elaborate operations
of last week.
Without doubt these operations have
been of a very exhausting nature and will
entail further delay. The Bloemfonteln
correspondent of the Times, writing on
March 3, after the Paardeberg affair, de-
scribes Lord Roberts army as a wreck"
because it was without horses and without
transport.
The Bloemfontein correspondent of the
Post speaks now of the urgent need, at
present and always, of more horses.
There is very little news from other
quarters.
Col. Longs Statement.
The Daily Mail publishes a statement
from Col. Long, who was blamed for the
loss of the guns at Colenso; that in ad-
vaucing. the guns as he did he merely
obeyed orders. and that "the staff was
quite ignorant of the proximity of the
Boer positions"
The sudden decision of the Boer peace
delegates to go to America is attributed
to the fact that the government of The
Netherlands, after sounding all the Eu-
ropean capitals, told them they had moth
ing to hope from Europe.
Col. Dalghety's force at Wepener num-
bered 100 His losses during the siege
were thirty killed and 149 wounded 1t is
reported that there was an artillery en-
gagement yesterday at Karee Siding, but
no details have been received.
Great Need for Horses.
The Morning Posts Bloemfontein CORE
spondent in a dispatch dated Saturday
protests against Mr.. Wyndhams reply in
the House of Commons which undertook
to disconnect the delay in Lord Roberts
advance from the lack of horses. He says:
"On the contrary, the necessity for a
large and ever increasing supply of re-
mounts cannot be too urgently insisted
on. The sacrifice of horse flesh in the past
is as nothing when compared withs'the
possibilities of the future"
The area across which cavalry screen
must be thrown will necessitate an inn
mense strain and the consequent gaps
must be filled as soon as they occur.

divisions will participate probably in the
direct advance. The transport of the
Sixth division will be utilized to provide
for the mounted infantry, but the trans
port of the Third division will possibly
supply it's place There are rumors that
the advance will be made in many col
umns, but | do not anticipate much sub
