WHY HE KEPT QUIET.

~ don't believe that there is such a
thing as Fool Killer in the world"
declared Mrs. Muggins, in the course
Of family debate which had become
somewhat acrimonious.
"The remark is rather irrelevant to
the matter in hand" remarked Mr..
Muggins. "Still, I'd like to know the
grounds for your disbelief"
would you? Well, Charles Angus
tus Muggins, if there was such a
thing as a Fool Killer, you would have
never lived to be thirty-five years old"

LIFE AND DEATH.

:
So he dies for his faith. That is fine
More than most Of US do.
But say, can you add 10 that line
That he lived for it too?
In his death he bore witness at last
as martyr to truth.
Did his life do the same in the past
From the days OF his youth?
Itis easy to die. Men have died
For wish or whim-
From brayado or passion or pride.
Was It harGe- for him?
But to live-every day to live out
All the truth that he dreamt,
While his friends met his conduct with DOUBT
And the world with contempt.
Was It thus that he rlodded ahead,
Never turning aside?
Then we'll talk Of the life that he led.
Never mind how he died.

CHARGED WITH DELAYING MAIL

Denver, Colorado, Aug. 21.-Thomas Devitte appeared before United States commissioner today in answer to charge of conspiracy to delay the United States mail. Devitte is ma chinist and secretary of the local un- ion of that craft, which is now on a strike against the Union Pacific rail read. It is charged that Alex Allison and James c. Wood got aboard the en- zine of passenger train on the Un- iCn Pacific at Deer Trail two weeks ago and disarranged the machinery in such a manner as to cause the engine to break down. The two men were arrested on a complaint of an agent of the railroad and were charged with delaying the mali. Later a complaint on the same charge was sworn out against secretary Devitte. The charge is similar to that brought against Debs and his fe.Iow officers of the Ameri- can Railway union during the big strike of 1894 and the result of the hearing is awaited with much interest in organized labor circles.

HEARING
In a Suit Involving
$4,000.
Two Judges Are Sitting
In It.
Some Of the Transactions Date
Back 20 Years.

Hearing In an important case is now
in progress in Common Pleas court
before Judges Kohler and Weber.
Money 10 the amount Of $4,000 is
involved I'm the suit, and the transac-
tions cover period of 20 years.
The action is one to enforce pay
ment of an alleged balance of some
thing like $4,000 with interest since
1897, claimed to be due upon judg-
ment. rendered in the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals against SAM
uel j. Richie, in favor of the late
Senator Henry b. Payne, Of Cleveland.
The immediate matters presented
for hearing arise upon a motion filed
by Mr.. Rltchle in the Common Pleas
court of Summit county for an order
reouiring Mr. Chas. w. Bingham, adj
ministrator of the Payne estate, to
show cause why he should not be pun
ished for contempt OF court for alleged
failure to comply with temporary
order of injunction granted by Judge
Kohler last May, upon a cross peti-
ton filed by Richie in the case, and
upon motion flied by Mr. Bingham
for dissolution of the injunction.
The injunction granted by Judge
Kohler related to certain railway bonds
in Cana da claimed by Mr.. Richie, and
which Mr.. Bingham intended to sell,
claiming that the bonds had been given
by Mr.. Ritchie as security for certain
loans. ~-
The alleged balance due upon the
Judgment above mentioned, arises out
of transactions between the late Sen
ator Payne and Mr.. Richie, involving
alleged pledges of certain railway and
mining interests. in Canada, said to
have been pledged by Mr.. Ritchie to
Senator Payne for financial accommo
dations, some of which, date back as
far as 1882.
Mr.. Bingham is represented by Aller lie
& Cobbs,of Akron, and, Andrew Squires
Esq, of Cleveland, and Mr.. Ritchie il
represented by Young & Wanamaker
of this city. Court was adjourned
Wednesday at noon, so the officials
could attend the reunion of LincolI
voters. On Thursday morning th'
court requested the litigants to en-
deavor to settle, and they are now try
ing to get together.
