Discourasins Quest for Capital.

One of Pittsburg's bank presidents Is a
friend and most unassuming benefactor OF
ambitious young men. He is sympathetic
when listening to cases which merit en-
enlargement, but can also dismiss an inter-
viewer with admirable abruptness.
A youth on one occasion entered the
bankers Office and jovially announced that
he intended going to college. He intimated
that little assistance in the matter OF OBJ
tanning a scholarship would be a most con-
venient asset with which to start on Ms
career.
And to what profession do you aspire2"
questioned the president graciously.
II wont give up asserted the young
man, boldly. until l am privileged TO

The banker turned in his chair and init
mated that the interview was at an end by
saying. tersely:

yond the resources of this bank"-Harper's

doorway of a great barn which stood near
the road.
Can you direct me to Wilson'S Cas-

 St. Petersburg, Aug. 15.--The investi- gation into the attempt on the life or the Grand Duke Nicholas. on August 10 at the guards camp maneuvres at Krasnoye- seIo, developed that ball cart ridges were used in ninety-six rifes or the sharpshooters.
 The Krasnoye-sei incident was pre- ceded earlier in the week by two sem sationai occurrences directly due to disloyalty among the troops. Some men of the White Sea fired at one of their officers from ambush and ser- geant of the Onierski Reelment. who evidently had became aware that plot ting was taking place among the men was killed.
 It turns out that the police made a mistake when they presumed they had captured Captain Kocke, commander of of the Red Guards of Finland. The captain is now in Christiana, Norway, where he writes that he escaped dis guised as a cab driver, and actually drove two detectives who were search ing for him.
