Motives Of Misers.



The case of a man who died from ner-
sonal DrlvatOns with 1000 boarded
pounds (S1o,G90 within reach of his skee-
ton fingers, inspires mora Ifzing mood
concerning the motives of misers. The
one that strikes US as reaching the near
est 10 the truth is the hypothesis Of fear
lear of extreme poverty, to avoid which
at some indefinite future time the miser
faces all its consequences in the present.
The gibe of the old 1aborer who said to
his master; 7 be d braver man than you
be. for 1 burst spend my last farden, and
you dursen't, is quoted as affOrdiug the
best hint of the real truth. When once
the mind cOnceiVes the idea of possible
poverty there is scarcely anything it will
not do to avert the horrible contingeucy.
Men in battle as our contemporary Ta-
minds US, have been known TO shoot
themselves in the dread fear Of being shot
by the advancing enemy Fear in money
matters, as In all other, pardlyzes the
judgment and shakes the reason. AliSer5
are probably IL all other respects the pGr-
est and most moral of men; they are az
any rate as rigorous I'm their ascetiCism
as monk and fTiaT. But such is the force
of this vice that it destroys by its own
strong arm all the higher emotions and
aspirations of humanity, leaving IT'S vic
tim miserable and negative creature
beneath the contempt of his weaker
brethren,

Article J provides that cane and
beet sugars cannot be subjected to
dHterent rates of duty
Article provides for the establish
ment of permanent international
commission of surveillance to sit at
BRUSSELS to exercise general control to
settle htigious- questions and TO decide
on the admission TO the convention of
mountaineering states.
London. March S.-Cabling from
Brussels the correspondent of the
Times says the international sugar
conference has obtained from Great
Britain a promise not to aGOpt a refer
entail tariff in favor of any of her
colonies producing cane sugar. IN OBJ
tanning this promise. the delegates to
the conference from other countries
than Great Britain pointed out that
because of the great suppression of
sugar bOunties and the cartelS, cane
sugar was now sufficiently protected
and that it shortly might be able to
compete with beet sugar in the British
market The delegates from Great
Britain, says the correspondent, not
wishing to run the risk of wreckine
the conference, finally made this con-
cession.

HOME RULE FOR IRELAND, SAYS ASQUITH,

London, March 2.-H. II. Asouith.
NJ. p, in a letter to the chairman of
the East Fife Liberal association, ex-
planned his reasons for supporting the
new Liberal league of Lord Rosebery.
Mr.. Asquith fully endorses Lord Rose
bery's home rule policy, and points out
that even GladstOne's magnificent
courage and unrivaled authority failed
to solve the problem because of the
rooted repugnance of the majority of
the electorate of Great Britain to grant
a parliament to ireland. Mr.. Asquith
proceeds:
Eight years have since elapsed and
nothing has been done to conciliate and
not little has been done to stiffen

this adverse judgment of the British
electorate. If We are honest, we must
ask ourselves the practical question,
whether it should be part of the pro-
gramme of the liberal party if it is re-
turned to power to introduce a bill for
nome rule. The answer to this cues
ton, in my judgment, is no, not be-
cause we think the Irish problem to
be either settled or shelved, but Re
cause the history Of these years and
especially Of the most recent years,
has made it plain that home rule can
not De obtained by methods enjoying
the sanction and sympathy of British
opinion. To recognize facts like these
and to act accordingly is not apostacy;
it is common sense"

Miraculous Escape of a Passenger in

Wilkesbarre, Pa, March "A heavy
rainfall and rush of water from its up-
per tributaries caused the north branch
of the Susquehanna river to rise rap
idly today, and at 10 O'Clock this even
ing the gauge showed thirty-one feet
and three inches. 1t is thought there
viii be another rise of a few inches
before the water, recedes. TOday's
mark is equal to that of 1865, which
was a record breaker.
The water is over the banks of the
river from Pittsburg to Nanticoke, and
resembles a vast lake. Nearly one-half
Of the city is under water. At West
Moor. Firwood and Riverside nearly all
residents have vacated their houses.
The water had reached the first stor-
les and was gradually going up to the
second. Those who fingered too long
had to be removed in boats. The cell
lars OF the Sterling and Wyoming Val
ley hotels and many mercantile houses
in the central part Of the city were
filled with water. The people living on
River and adjoining streets. which is
the principal resident portion of the.
city, were hemmed in by the water. and
are unable to leave their homes IN
less by boat. All the streets in West
Pittston are under several feet of
water.
Many Are Homeless.
Two hundred families living in the
lowlands in the town of Plymouth had
TO leave their houses hastily this aft
ernOon, the water covering the first
floors and putting out the fires. The
body Of Mrs. Rowland. who died this
afternoon. had to be removed from the
pre- rises on a boat as there was dan
ger of the house being carried away.
DR.. W. J. Butler had to be rowed in a
boat to a house at Riverside to attend
a woman who shortly afterwards gave
birth to a child.
Washouts are reported all along the
line of the Central railroad of New
Jersey and many miles are flooded.
Nine lives have been lost so far. The
casualties for the past tNenty-four
hours were three The property loss
Is already estimated at 81, 600 600.
Richard Breckert and his two horses
were drowned While he was driving

ing around for an hour. The names of
the other victims are unknown.
