A, Rather Tough Story.

CoNNELLsNILLE, Pa, April 23.-
Leaping into the air as an expert diver
would in taking fancy plunge into
thaswater, an unknown man committed
suicide this morning at the foundry
works Of the H. G. Frick Coke Works
by diving into coke oven. 10 less
than minute what had been man
apparently in the full vigor Of life had
mingled with the curling smoke Of the
ovens, distinguishable only by it's
blush brown color and nauseating
odor from the gas smoke Of the burn
ing coal. A more tragic death never
occurred in this region. The coke
workers saw him only for an instant
as he prepared for the leap. He was
we'll dressed, of medium height aud
weight, aud smooth shaven. For The
slightest space Of time he seemed to
pause on the sloping ground behind
the ovens, then quick as fash he ran
down the slope, taking the quick short
steps of trained athlete who gauges
them precisely for the jump he in
tends taking. Eight feet from the
oven tops the man shot into the air,
his hands poised above his head in the
fashion Of a diver, and descending
swiftly, dropped head first into the
tunnel head Of an oven that had
burned to the sizzle white heat Of
coke just before it is drawn. For an
instant the body clogged the trunnel
hesd aud the legs wriggled as though
a desperate effort was being made to
squirm through and meet death
quickly in the blazing oven pit. A
rush was made for the oven door By.
the lorrified coke drawers.
All there was to show for the man
who but few seconds before had been
in.life was charred mass Of aesh, not
three feet in length. There is no
means Of Identification.

ping wet both day and night. Itis
the dust of che air that prot cots us
from this as we'll as from frequent
torrents Of rain, and from the preoipi-
tation Of great masses or sheets of
water, such as would prove very de-
structive to life. In short, the abb
sence Of dust would SO change the
meteorology of our globe as probably
to render it uninhabitable by man.
To dust, therefore--so the scientist
tells us-we owe the pure blue Of the
sky, the glories of the sunset and sun
rise, and the brilliant hues seen in
high mountain regions; also the diffus-
ed daylight, equable, soothing, and
useful; also clouds, mist, and the
''gentle rain from heaven" indeed,
the maintenance Of life itsclfin safety
and comfort.
Having calmly related all these
scientific facts, the scientist turns
preacher in the closing sentence Of
his chapter, and adds: "The over
whelming Importance Of the small
things, and even Of the despised
things, Of our world has never, per.
haps, been SO strikingly brought home
to US as in these recent Investigations

How wonderful is the story of
science as lesson in divine intelli-
gcnce! Along this line of study,
newly revealed by modern science, lie
the proofs Of Creatorship and Provi-
dence. The economy Of man is a
great study, but the economy r'house-

meaning) Of God isgreatcr still. How
marvelously does he administrate the
vast universe. measuring the waters

measure, and weighing the mountains
in scales, and the hills in balance
Surely there is some blindness of
heart, if not of eyes, when any student
of nature, peering into the mysteries
Of creation, fails to see also God
eternal, immortal, Invisible.
The invisible is not necessary un-
real. Science here demonstrates what
religion claims, that "the things that
are not seen are eternal"
The lesson Of reverence comes to US
| also. Let science as we'll as religion
teach us reverence.
"Let knowledge grow from more to

But more OF reverence in ns dwell"
Is not life itself sacred, because
God is here? Above his stmdt deer

Then we have the lesson Of depen-
dence. No man liveth unto himself.

LONDON, April 3O.-Despatches from
Loureneo Marques say that the Beers have
decided to abandon the Free State to the
British
1t is said that the burghers will make
no stand against Lord Roberts south of
the Yaal River. and that the movement Of
their forces across hat stream has al
ready begun
This involves the abandonment Of Brand
fort and KrOOnstad. and it is understood
that the Beers are already moving away
from those laces toward the Transvaal.
1t is believed that the burghers have come
to the conclusion that they cannot cope
successfully Nth Lord Roberts large ar

and will try to stop him at the passes en-
tering the Transyaal.

REPORT ON THE CARTER CASE.
Alleged Arrangement for the Divis-
ION of Government Money.

Alleged Arrangement for the Divis-
iOn of Government Money.
ATLANTA, Ga, April 30.-The report Of
Edward Johnston, the expert detailed by
Attorney General Griggs in the Oberiin NJ
Carter case. brings out the fact that be-
tween Carter, Green, and Gaynor there
was a regular one-third division of the
Government money. The expert report
shows a continuance OF the divisions
month by month as the money was raid
by the Government, from the beginning TO
the end of Carter's control at Savannah.
Il shows Carter's one-third of the spoiIs
to have been over $3.50. 600, inclusive of his
share in the last checks for 1913. .749 90,
which were paid over In New York st the
time Carter was about TO leave the dis
trict when succeeded by Captain Gillette.
II will be remembered that on the court
martial trial II was shown that Captain
Carter's personal expenses had increased
gradually from about $500 in 1891 to $780,
600 per annnm in 1897. and that he was
controlling a large amount OF bonds and
other assets which he testified belonged to
Mr. Westcott, his father-in-law, and the
income from which, Carter testified, West
cott had allowed him to use since the death
of Carters wife in 1892. II will be recalled
also that Westeott was in Europe when
the court martial of Carter was in prog
Tess and declined to return and testify in
the case
Il was on the refusal of Westcott to ap-
pear and substantiate this statement that
Attorney General Griggs largely based his
decision affirming the judgment of the
eourt-martial in the reference of the case
to him by the President. The correctness of
his conclusion has been Overwhelmingly
demonstrated by recent developments. The
officers of the Government now have in
their possession a written statement from
Westcott. in which he repudiates as a fab
rication Carter's statement that the assets
were Westcott's
