A man may look upon an extraor-
binary difficulty in his path as a sig.
nal warning him to turn back. or.
on the other hand. as a call TO ex.
t~raordinary effort. One man will
halt and waver at the edge Of the
ditch; another will take il with .
rush. One will give up a Sunday
school class of restless boys because
they have been too much for him:
another will resolutely set himself
to win those boys. and no change in
himself is o. radical. no labor too
severe. for him in SO doing. The
world needs men who take hold hard,
and per~sistently work out difficult
problems at any cost to themselves.
To such men a difficulty is a chal-
lengc, and their answer u victory
over its. s. Times.

To the Life of Jacob A. BIodt, n
Prominent Business Man of CIeve-
Isnd.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, September 20
Believing himself to be the victim of
malicious and unrelenting persecution
and thinking that he was ruined
through the efforts of his enemies,
Jacob A. Blodt, in fit or desperation
killed himself by asphyxiation in a lit
tie boarding house on Perry street,
early this morning.
For twenty years Mr. Blodt had been
identified with prominent business in
terests in Cleveland. Until a month
ago he was universally respected and
held in confidence by the most conser-
vative business men. Mr.. Blodt was
secretary of the Guarantee Savings &
Loan Company, which failed few
weeks ago. His arrest on the charge
of embezzlement followed close after
thae State authorities had instituted
proceedings against the company, and
he was still on bail when he ended his
life.
Mr.. Blodt lived in a handsome resi-
dence on Euclid avenue. and is sur
vived by wife and three daught-
ers. He committed the rash act
on his forty-sixth birthday.

Northwest.
REVELSTOKE. B. c., September 20.
The Duke and Duchess of Cornwall
and York rode to-day through the
Rocky and Selkirk mountains and by
noon tomorrow will be at Vancouver.
The ride through the mountains was
greatly appreciated by the Duke aud
Duchess, and their travelling compan-
ions, and the trip has seldom been
made under more favorable circum-
stances. 1t was bright clear day and
the warm sun gave the snow topped
peaks dazzling briliancy and drove
the mists out of the deep cut canyons
and rayines. Each point of interest
was called to the attention of the
Duke and Duchess who spent nearly
the entire day in sight seeing on the
rear platform of their car. They were
particularly interested in Kicking
Horse Pass and the glacier at Glacier.
The royal train was run very slow
ly through the former and stopped at
the latter and there was ample time
for the observation OF both. The
Canadian Pacific officials used every
possible precaution to guard against
accident. The track was carefully
patrolled at every dangerous point an1
a guard stood at every switch. The
divisional officials We're on duty and
personally supervised the handling of
the royal special. The Countess Of
Mimic and several members of her
rarity made the ride down the loops
froal Glacier 10 Illecillcwaot on tic
COW catcher platform of the pilot spec
ial. They all enjoyed the thrilling ex-
per,ence.
The royal specials got away from
Banff at and $50 o'clock in TIE
morning and the entire population OF
the little mountain town turned out to
see them off and cheer the royal cou-
Pile On through the mountains until
after night had settled down there
were crowds at all the stations, anx-
ious for a glimpse of the duke and
duchess. During a brief stop Of the
pilot special at Revelstroke late in the
afternoon and Countess Mimic laid The
cornerstone of Victoria Memorial hos
pital, the fourth of the kind organized
in Weatarn Canada The Countess of
Mimic organized the movement for the
establishment of little hospitals at re-
mote stations unable to support largs

Last evening shortly after o'clock
Frank Former, of No. So Eighteenth
streets, was struck at Benwood juno
ton by B. & o. engine and received
injuries that viii undoubtedly prove
fatal.
Former is familiar to the police of
both Benwood and Wheeling. and was
seen yesterday by various persons in
several saloons of the former city, and
was well under the influence of intoxi-
cants Towards the latter part of the
afternoon he left Center Benwood and
started off down the road towards the
Junction. This was the last seen of
him until the time of the accident
He was struck by a north bound
train, near the Bellaire bridge. and
fortunately for him he was not in the
center of the track or he would have
been instantly killed. AS it was the
train struck him and threw him to
one side.
AS soon as the train could be brought
to a stop the members of the crew
fastened to his assistance. They
picked him up more dead than alive.

wounds, and placed him aboard the
train.

unfortunate man and 1t was found
that his skull had been split. He
Llcd profusely from the mouth and
nose ard it is feared that his injuries
are such that there is no posstole hopa
for his recovery.
This is but another accident resulting
from persons mistaking the railroad
track for a public highway. But a
few days ago a Mrs. Douglas was
knocked from the track of the B. & o.
at their loop in Benwood. She escap-
ed with slight bruises and will recover.
Numerous other slight accidents of this
nature have occurred recently, while
the list of fatalities that have resulted
in this vicinity is simply appallinsa
The engineers cannot be blamed, and
yet it seems that the many lives that
have been lost will not teach peope
to remain off the tracks.
