DON'T TAKE 1T TO HEART

Don't take it to heart, little friend,
When the world seems to treat you
unfair;
Just believe that the worst soon must
mend
That the dreariest road has an end;
And that some day a full, measured
share
Shall be given to you as your part,
So don't take it too much to heart.
Don't cry when endeavor proves vain
= To To work ont some sweet Kindly deed;
You may feel 'aifthe hurt and the pain
For the loss that was yours, but the gain
Was the trying to do, and the need
God will give unto you by and by;
So take heart of His love and don't cry.
Don't take it to heart if your best
Is reckoned of not as much worth;
A failure is gain oft confessed,
And God sees it, blessing and blest,
AS gracious, sweet gift to the earth;
Why seek for the worlds empty smile
God will make it all right in while.
Don't cry when you see your years speed
AS cloud-shadow under the sun,
And you stand as a wind-broken reed,
Weary, waiting, helpless, in need,
And the sands of your glass nearly run;
God will call you up home by and by
Be patient, dear heart, and don't cry.
Take nothin' to heart but the thought
That God knows us, and just as we are;
That He misses no sheaf we have
brought,

NAGdING.

nagging wife, who is scolding some one
or something all the time and gets no

TIE STRIKE in PHILADELPHIA
No Change In Labor Situation
Apparent Yesterday.
PROBABLY 5000 MEN ARE. IDLE
Accurate Report OF Number
Not ObtainabIe.


Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
Philadelphia, Pa, May 2. = No
change is apparent today in the labor
situation, although the officials of the
Allied Buildings Trades League Coun-
oil, the workmen's organization, express
themselves as satisfied with the con-
dition of affairs. Thus far, it has been
impossible to secure an accurate report
rs to the number of men idle, but the
figures are still estimated at 5000.
Today's reports from the various
divisions Of the Steam Filters Union
Place the number of strikers of that
organization at 400. Thirty shops are
tied up, hut it is announced that each
mail brings in numerous signed agrees
ments from the employers granting the
demands of the men. The strikers say
they expect a satisfactory settlement
within week.
1t is estimated that fully 800 plumbers
have quit work. Seer etary Lee Of the
Plumbers Union states that the en-
ployers refused to confer with the
strikers, but the fact that 11S masters
have signed the scale since yesterday is
evidence, he believes, of the willingness
of the employers to end the trouble.
The electrical workers are out to the
number Of 400, tying up % shops.
Fifty five new members were taken into
the organization last night, and like
ruDber proposed for membership.
Eighteen employers of sheet metal
workers have granted the union de-
mands, and 300 strikers have returned
to work. About 500 are still out

TO INTERPRET GEN. Du POINTS WILL.

Question of Proper Distribution of Money
to Daughters and the Children Of One Of
Them. AE
The Interpretation of an item In the
VIII OF Gen. Henry du Point is to be
made by Chancellor John r. Nicholson,
one OF the trustees having applied for
instructions as to the PROPER distribu-
lion OF money. The matter has reached
the Court OF Chanoery In n bill filed by
Levi q. Bird, repf esenting Col. Henry
a. du Pont, son Of Gen. du Point, and
one Of the trustees under item l6 of the
generals will. Col. du Pont appears
as the plaintiff, and the defendants are
alexander ID. Irving and A. L. Foster.
the other trustees, Evelina du Pont,
Alexander d. Irving and his wife,
Ellen Il: Irving, A. L. Foster and his
wife, Victoripe Foster; Theophilus
Chandler and his wife, Sophie; Alex
snder d. Irving, Jr., John ID. Irving,
Ellen du Pont Irving, Louis Irving and
Evelyn du Pont Irving. These de-
PENDANTS include the two trustees, and
the four daughters of Gen. du Point.
and the five children OF one of the
daughters, Mrs. Irving. The Irvings
live in New York and the Chambers
in Philadelphia.
Under item 16 of the will, Gen,
du Pont tequeathed large sum Of
money to his wifs, Louisa du Point, the
income of which she was 10 receive
during her lie, and at her death, it
was to be divided among the daughters
or their issues or survivors. share and
share alike. Mrs. du Point died re-
Gently, and so the trustees have before
them the problem Of distributing the
sum SO left. Only one daughter has
issue, and the question is whether each
OF her five children are entitled to
equal shares with their aunts. Mrs.
irving takes the position that they are
entitled to such share.
On account of that question the case
comes to the Chancellor III order TO
secure his Interpretation of the pro-
vision SO that the trustees mayfdis-
tribute the money properly.
The defendants in the case are repre-
sented by Lewis y. Vandegrift and
benjamin Nields. Col. Nields appeared
before Chancellor yesterday and secured
the appointment Of George Il. Brown as
guardian ad litem for Ellen, Louis and
Evelyn Irving, the three minor chill
dren of Mr.. and Mrs. irving, who re-
side in New York, TO answer the bill
and defend the suit. 1t was a novel
application, the children not being
present, but Col. Nields making the
necessary affidavit on which the. ar-
pointmert was made.

arrival this morning, that no words
could portray the horror, the sadness
and appalling extent Of the catastrophe.
When be let, none could tell how many
had been killed, but 1t was thought that
the shift In mine No. had been wiped
out, and many killed in No. /. Whether
a powder explosion or dust explosion,
or both, had not been decided; in fact,
no one had any thought but to rescue
the injured, recover the dead, and re-
lleve the suffering. The scene around
the mine was beyond all attempts at
description; women, children and
friends providing around, crying and
fevcrishly excited, waiting to SEQ IL
the next body brought out was loved
one.
The financial loss to the company
cannot, be estimated, but 1T will be
great. In every way, 1t is regarded as
the worst disaster ever occurring in this
part Of the country. The nearest APP
proaoh to it was the Southern Pacific
Almy tWyomingJ explosion, FIVE years
ago, when over 100 men we're killed.
