BREMEN, April 13.--In support of
their belief that the gold bars reported
missing from the specie room of the
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse In transit
between New York and Cherbourg
were stolen at New York, the officials

Company point out that the specie
room on the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse
Is situated behind the baggage room,
and that the trunks Of hundreds or
passengers are piled up against the
doors OF the specie room. The officials
OF the company are satisfied that the
gold was abstracted between the after
noon when the barrels containing the
900 900 marks were placed in the
strong room and the following morn
Ing, when the passengers baggage
was slowed away. The officials are
OF the belief that the thief allowed
himself to be locked up In the bag
gage room after the gold was depos-
tied In the strong room, and managed
to take the booty ashore during the
confusion of arriving passengers and
the slowing away of the baggage.

VERGENNES, VT, April 16.--The

The exact amount of the shortage is

remarking that Cashier Lewis had de-
ceived the officers of the bank and
that he alone was responsible for the
wreck. Mr.. Lewis is very well known
throughout the state, has been mem

islature, and in 1886 was candidate
for state treasurer. He remains at
home and has turned over to the of

Current IN the Chicago River Is TOO
Strong.
CHICAGO. April 15- The Post to.
day says:
Federal authorities have ordered
the flow in the Chicago river reduced
from 100000 to 100000 cubic feet q
minute. Word to this effect came
from Washington to the sanitary board
today. The board will act Immediately
upon receipt of the official order, and
the current viii not be increased, as
the channel has been widened and
deepened and existing distractions to
navigation have been removed. Ac-
ton on the part of the war department
was brought about by the protest Of
local river interests and the Lake Car
riers' Association, which, since the
opening of the big canal, have com
planned that 100000 cubic feet pro
vided by law was dangerous to navi-
CATION under present conditions. Lo-
cal authorities are apprehensive OF the
effect it may have upon the st. Louis
litigation. With the full flow to dilute
the sewage carried down the canal
from the Chicago river, the board had
no fear of the charge that Chicago
was polluting the water supply of St.
Louis. In view of the action of the
war department. the outcome of the
st. Louis appeal to the courts is doubt
full. II the legislature passes the bill
authorizing the commission to collect
one-half of | per cent tax to be used
for the Improvement of the river. it is
believed the current can be increased
gradually after September, as the
work Of widening and deepening the
channel progresses. Otherwise 1t will
be four or five years before relief can
be obtained

OLYMPIA, Wash, April Ire
garding when the state will take pos
session of its new capitol building,
Governor Rogers today said:
There was a tacit understanding
between the capitol commission and
the board of county commissioners
that, inasmuch as the county will
probably rent part of the present state
building for time, at least, the two
boards would work in harmony, so
far as possible, in making the ex-
change of offices, without discommod-
ing either party to the transaction.
In the summer months, during which
the supreme court is not in session,
will, no doubt, be the best time at
which this exchange could be made
with the least possible inconvenience:
AS the county will only have need of
two floors of the present state build
ing, the exchange can be made without
serious difficulties"

The Secret Of Success.

Young John d. Rockefeller, one of
the richest men in the United States,
recently delivered an address before
the pupils of Booker Washington S
Tuskegee school and he gave the
colored youth some sound advice
which young white men may follow
with profit Said Mr.. Rockefeller:
DO not be afraid to do any work
that falls to your hands. When !
went into my fathers q flee | was will
ing to do any sort of work they wanted
me to, even if it were putting on my
fathers shoes. ! did not care how
humble it was. | wanted to begin at
the bottom and learn. Do not be
afraid to make a lowly beginning.
Il once assisted a young man to get a
position. He remained in it two
days and when | asked him why he
left he said They put me to sweeping
the floor and | left. | am too old to
be sweeping the floor.
~ man is Itytr too Old TO 90 an
sort of work. 1t is by doing the work
that is at hand that we become useful
and successful Success comes by do
ing the common, everyday things Of
life uncommonly we'll Do the little
cvery-d day duties of life without a muir
mer. Do them we'll. This is success :
This school teaches the dignity of
toll and makes the young people Of
the race proud of working
1t is comparatively easy to give ad-
vice. Many people give advice which
they never follow themselves. But
there is young man who practices
what he breaches. Heir to many mil
lions, he has always been an industri-
Gus student and an earnest worker.
He is also active in religious work and
is the teacher of a large Bible class.
Young Rockefeller would succeed in
life if he hadn't dollar to begin with,
because he possesses those qualities
which win success. Wealth cannot
make man, and genius may be a
failure. Industry, energy, Suitability
common sense and sober, steady hab-
it's will insure any young man success
If he has not the capacity to make a
fortune, the chances are that he has
not the judgement to hold to wealth il
it should be given to him.-Clarion-
