A Wanted to Steal Crew.
n The master OF the Norwegian steam
er Peter Jebsen reported to United
States Inspector OF Immigration Nor
ton this morning that an effort had
been made by sailors from the United
States naval collier Lebanon. which Is
lying off Lamhert's Point, to steal two
members OF the crew of the Jebsen
and take them to the Lebanon.

and after q parley between the Ameri-
cans1and two Norwegians,g one OF the
latter scrambled over the side into
the rowboat. Before his companion
could follow him the wntchmnn on
the deck OF the. Jebsen, discovered wha.
was goin g. on, whereuponft the row..
boat pulled rapidly away. Tho watch
man says he fired on the men, but no
one was hit, the bullet going through
the boat just above the water line. 4
The captain Of the Jebsen is quite
indignant over the affair and reported
it at once to Inspector Morton, who
referred him to the navy yard. He had
expected to sail for Havana this after
noon. but will. Of course. be delayed.
Although the Lebanon is said to be
short of men for the, crew, it is not
thought that the officers are in any
way implicated in the matter.

JAMESTOWN NEXposITION, April zo,-

There will be but two things com-

Exposition" wrote waggish newspaper
man to a New York paper, "one the
fence which incloses the grounds, put up
three years ago, aud the other O grove
OF beautiful pines which are within the
enclosure in spite OF the Exposition Com
pany.''
This bit of wit would possibly enrage
the people of this section and lnjure the
exposition We're 1t not absurd on its
very face. either the Jealous mutterings
OF a disappointed suppiant or the merry
scoffng OF Philistine.
The fact Is that on the opening day.
next Friday. there will be but little to I
criticize. for buildings are going up like
magic; walkways are put down during
the night; trees are. transplantsd be-
tween morning and afternoon, houses ap-
pear where twenty-four hours before
there was but a vacant space: flower plots
transform unsightly sand hills, model
roads are substituted for mud and dust.
and network OF beams and pillars be-
comes a finished building. having the ap-
pearance OF respectable and sturdy age.
Progress at tile Exposition Grounds is
an example Of what can be done when
money and labor are directed by intel
ligence. All day and all night an army
OF workmen and skilled mechanics labors
to change confusion to order. and day
by day the result has been little short OF
marvellous. sfys,t 80

EXPENSIVE FlNERY.

TAKE THE PLEASANT SIDE.
Frankness Does Not Compel Telling Of
Emphasizing Truths.

Some people seem to be very much
afraid Of telling pleasant truths.
They apparently consider that to
be honest they must be d~isagrecable,
and that to be frank means only TO
be brutal, as well as c%allous, to the
sufTcrings which franknesses may
cause.
Now, there are numerous WAYS of
speaking the truth as well as looking
it.
To be truthful need not mean to
be ~unpleasing.
We can be honest without making
ourselves hated and Stunned because
of u brutal candor.
Unpleasant truths may often be
suppressed without loss of rectitude;
or, if compelled to speak them, we
may persistcntly show the pleasing
side, and leave the hearer to find out
for himself, if he must know it,
that there is an unpleasant side as
well.
For there is always more than one
side to a truth. Two sides at least
can be seen by the most simple
minded person, and those whose
minds are complex can readily see
many sides to the same question.
"Her hands are too big for her
gloves" comments the candid
friend.
ooh, no; she only makes a little
mistake in buying her gloves a size
too SMALL" is the way the peace
maker says the same thing" says
Woman's Life.
Now, if one side is always more
pleasing than the other, why, the
question may be asked, is it not
more honorable to choose always the
pleasant side to present to friends ?
Why deprive the world Of a Joy
we might have given when we do not
hasten to speak the pleasant truth ?
Happiness is a quality of which
we might obtain a larger share than
usual if we determined to discover
the pleasing side of the most un-
pleasant truths.

SELFISHNESS OF THE SNoe.

The snob cultivates a man or a
woman, not because he expects to
get a job or a loan out of either. but
because he thinks either can help
him along into society's elect. He
cuts a former acquaintance because
the unfortunate person seems to be
of no use in his own social adj
vancement. He suppresses the i'm
pulse that may lead him to dislike
useful people and like useless ones
just as the ambitious bank clerk sup
presses his small extravagances, his
fondness for the race track. Be-
cause social position seems to him
so important he admires excessive
ly those who have it and snubs those
whose position he deems inferior to
his OWN. Y. Mail.

IRVING AS AN EDUCATOR.
Tribute Paid to Great Actor BY His

"The late Sir Henry Irving was

was a great educator" said MIR.

Of the famous actor-manager, with
whom he was closely associated for
30 years.
"When he began his own manage

could be a place of education, and
he made it so.
"The committee appointed for the
revision of the Bible, when they had
finished their labors, went in a body
to the Lyceum and placed it on rec
ord that this theater is a place for
good

recognized educational force. He
was asked to lecture at Harrow
school, at Oxford, by DR.. Jowett, at
Cambridge and most of the other
great universities in all parts of
the world.

see Irving" added the lecturer,
"were placed in a long line, allow

later a thousand miles of people
would still be waiting to see Irving
"They would stretch 10000 miles

Stoker, ''there was not one who

SHORT ROAD TO PERFECTION.

1t is the saying of holy men that,
if we wish to be perfect, we have
nothing more to do than perform
the ordinary duties of the day WE'LL.
A short road to Professionalism
not because easy, but because peril
nent and ineligible. AS soon as a
person really desires and sets about
seeking it himself, he is dissatisfied
with anything but what is tangible
and clear, and constitutes some sort
Of direction towards the practice of
it.
We must bear in mind what is
meant by perfection. 1t does not
mean any extraordinary service, any
thing out of the way or especially
h%eroic--not all have the opportu-
nifty of heroic acts, or sufferings-
but it means what the word perfec-
ton ordinarily means. By perfect
we mean that which has no flaw in
it, that which is complete, that
which is consistent, that which is
sound-we mean the opposite of inn
