EDITORIAL OPINION
Mems Lives as Texts.

From the Baltimore American.
A Paragraph now going the rounds
OF the newspa oers declares that Mr..
schwah IS a very useful person. only
few months ago he was used as an
object lesson to every young American,
and now hc is serving as an awful ex-
ample. There is more than one grain
of truth in these assertions, for not long
ago Mr.. Schwab was the author of an
article on how to succeed in life, and
gave to lhc youth of this country a
rather interesting description of the
methods employed by him to attain a
high position in the business world and
a large fortune with II. There was
good lesson for boys In what Mr..
Schwab wrote, for he told of his young
er days of industry and thrift; how he
toiled hard with his hands all day and
spent niuny OF the hours Of the night
i'm study. He told how, step by step, he
was advanced from one position to an
other until he became the president Of
one Of the greatest business corpora
tions the world has ever known.
There is good lesson from his life
ends. His high position proved too
much for him. He was not able TO make
the best use Of the large sum Of money
placed at his disposal, and health i'm
paired, IL not completely wrecked,
came within a very short time as a re-
suit of yielding TO the temptations which
wealth placed in his path. In few
months the men who had advanced him
20 his high position discovered that they
l.. fuIr ha
the man they wanted for the important
work they had given him. So Schwab
had to step aside for another, one who
like himself, had risen from the ranks,
but one blessed with more self-control'
one who can enjoy wealth without
abusing Il.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
Insult to Democrats.

Edho- OF the Evening Journal.
Dear Sir: Henry r. Smith, so the
newspapers have IT, Is to be given the
opportunity soon, perhaps. of getting an
other soft berth where he cdn toll not
and neSther spin. and yet gather in
shekels without end. Laying aside the
question as to whether Smith has not had
enough public pap. II would be not only
a mistake TO put him In the place for
which he is said to be pulling strong
wires but It would be as well an insult
to thousands of decent Democrats
throughout the city and particularly
woul1 it he slap at the Democrats Of
the Eleventh ward, who, In spite Of
Doodle. repudlated him themselves
though he had the support Of the entire
assortment of wise and otherwise leaders
OF the inner ring Of the Democratic ma
chine.
Bird. Harman and Smith," was the
slogan In the Eleventh ward on nomina-
tion day but, fortunately at least part
of the arrangement didn't work. IL would
be interesting to we common. ordinary
people, who make TO pretense Of knowing
IL all. but whose votes are necessary on
election day-it would be mighty interest
must forever and eternally be kept in Of
flee as long as the Democrats have one
in their gift or can make one. It must
be some powerful motive that impels so
much interest in the welfare Of this dis
tinguished patriot who Is ever anxious to
devote his time and talents to drawing
some OF the peoples cash. What is It?
] fervently hope that Judge Cochran has
no intention OF dlsplacing the present
Clerk of the Municipal Court to make
fat job for Smith. If he has been even
considering such move let him take
counsel of anyone who knows the senu-
ment of the masses of the people and he
will find that the general opinion is that
Smith has had all he deserves at the
hands Of the Democratic party-and more.
Let's have a rest from Smith and his like
for awhile.

SHACKLED OFFICER
TO CAR STEAM PIPES
Detective Went to Sleep and
Prisoner Made Good
FIis Escape

Cheyenne, wyo., Aug. 70. - Albert
Eckland, alias George Johnson, who
was captured at Rawlins and was being
taken back to Chicago to answer to the
charge Of grand larceny, effected a re-
markable escape from Detective Will
liam Marsden. Marsden left Rawlins
with Eckland, and TO make sure OF his
man shackled him to a seat in the
smoking compartment of a chair car
While Marsden was sleeping beside his
prisoner, Eckland went through the
detectives pockets, secured the keys to
the shackles, released himself and then
shackled the officer TO the steam pipes.
Having relieved the officer Of his weap-
ons and other property, Eckland left
the train at Laramie. Marsden was not
awakened by the conductor until Chey-
enne was reached, when he called for
assistance.
AS Marsden had absolutely nothing
on his person to prove that he was not
a prisoner, the trainmen would not re-
lease him. The railroad authorities
telegraphed to Chicago for instructions,
and when the train reached Sydney
Marsden was finally released from his
predicament.

Ambassadors Fear Massacre.

Constantinople, Aug. 20.-The am
baseadors Of the powers have again
drawn the earnest attention Of the
Porte TO the fears OF massacres at Sa-
lonica, and have demanded the adop-
ton of immediate and effective meas
ures for the protection of the foreign
consulates and the subject of the var
ious powers.
Letters received here from Uskub say
there IS evidence there of a great feel
ing Of unrest. The mosques are guarded
by troops and 1t is feared they may
be attacked.
The monastery of the Holy Virgin
near Kitchero, has been burned by AL
banians, after a determined struggle
between the defenders Of the monas-
terry and the insurgents during which
both sides lost heavily.
Servian refugees arc arriving at U.s.
liub from Dibra, having fed from that
place owing to fear of massacre. The
Albanians in that district have burned

ARrEslAN WELLS.

George Pfeiffer. OF Camden. thinks
he can find water In sufficient guam
titles to supply this city by artesian
wells. DR.. Robin says this is inn
possible. Br. Robin stakes his reputa-
ton as an expert; Mr.. Pfeiffer offers to
stake his cash. Which is right? If
money talks then there would appear
to be eloquence in the offer Of the
Camden man.
We do not know, and it appears that
nobody does. We have only theories
TO go upon. II is true that a number
Of artesian wells have been sunk with
results that in the main were dis
couraging. But there has been no ia.
vestlgation worthy Of the name
Frankly. DR.. Robins opinion appears
to us TO be biased. His discussion Of
artesian wells leaves much to be de-
sired. He gives the impression that
good water cannot /be secured from
driven wells as the Impurities per-
colate through the soil with the water
and are pumped up. IL this is true,
what may we expect from sand ultra
tion? If water is not purified by pass
ing through forty feet Of closely knit
earth. how is II TO be purified by pass
ing through a few inches OF sand and
pebbles in a filter? Perhaps that is
where those valuable patents come in.
DR.. Robin also informs us that the
principle Of artesian wells is not gen.
orally understood and then proceeds
to enlighten us. He says that IAN ar
tesian well is a flowing WELL" and also
that a driven well is no better than
one that is open. We are informed
that whether an artesian well flows
or not depends upon the pressure from
the source. and It is a matter OF COM
mon knowledge that the driven we'll is
more sanitary than the open well. In
rural communities frequently there
are wells driven in the midst OF b,tn-
yards, which furnish water to which
Dr. Robin may apply any test.
