Prom a wreck will attract the world's

If the scene of the saving of one life

be made to stand
out alone, like a

attract the notice
of the whole na

TH B SONG OF LONG AGO.
When the thrushes cease their singing
and the wild bees leave the
clover; "
When the glory of the sunset fades
and leaves the heavens pale ;
When above the hill and mountains
misty shades of twilight hover
And the discords of the daytime far
away in distance fail;
When the rath wheat gently rustles,
and the timid aspens shiver, -And
the west winds, sighing softly,
scent from flowers bring;
When the pee wits cry together plain
tively by brook and river
- Then it is I'hear the old song that my
mother used to sing.
Round my neck I feel the pressure
of her fingers warm and slender
And in sleep dreams and waking I
have felt it many times,
Just as when of old I listened to that
ditty, quaint and tender,
Till the boughs that waved a6ove us
caught the cadence of the
rhymes;
And my heart throbs loud and
quickly as I hear it i ising clearer,
iumu is uiiue, 11s nope ana visions,
dreams and plans are mine
again;
Earth is fairer, life is sweeter aye,
and heaven itself seems nearer
To me as I list in fancy to that ne'er
forgotten strain. '

The Movement loanf orated in New York
City - To Usher in the Twentieth
Century.
By Telegraph to the Morning star.
New York, December 22. It was
announced to-night that a secret com
mittee meeting washeld in this city
to-day at which plans were perfected
to hold a monster religious revival to
usher in the Twentieth Century. This
revival is to be the fruition of the plan
evolved by the late D wight L. Moody,
which his friends took up- a d have
enlisted in its support the most promi
nent Christian workers of the country.
It is to be national in scope, with New
York as the centre. It is to be abso
lutely u idenominational in. character
and "Christ and the Bible" is the only
battle cry.
According to what has been di
vulged as to the plan, practically
every branch of the Protestant Church
and all the great religious societies
identified with it, are united in the
crusade. It will be a gigantic and
carefully organized effort by ministers
and laymen of Protestant creeds,
working together with denominational
lines obliterated and differences
buried. The leaders banded together
as a national central committee are
now opening- their campaign. The
committee includes a majority of the
leading evangelical clergymen of Great
er New York, besides William Fi
ll oody, son of the dead evangelist;
John Willis Bear, of Boston, secretary
of the United Society of Christian En
deavor; John R. Mott, of the Inter
national Y. M. C. A.; H.M. Moore,
of Boston vL. L. Doggett, of Spring
field, Mass., president of training
school: General O. O. Howard, or

An appeal has been mailed to all
parts of the United States which calls
on those to whom it has been sent to
immediately and unitedly rngage in a
campaign for the promotion, of a re
vival of Christianity in every city,
town and village at the opening of the
twentieth century. ,
The week of prayer will formally in
augurate the movement all over the
United States, but this city will wit

Conflicts Between Striking Dockmea and

Many Arrests Made.
By Telegraph to the Morning star.
Antwebp, December 22. The strik
ing dockmen became more defiant to
day and their attitude resulted in sev
eral conflicts with the police, one of
which was serious. During the morn
inff groups 0f strikers interfered with
the men wbo were coming from
the provinces to take their places and
in several instances the new men were
maltreated.
This afternoon, when an attempt
was made to resume operations at the
Cokerill wharf, 2,000 strikers attempted
to prevent . the resumption. The
strikers were'dispersed bv the nolice
with drawn sabres, and under police
protection work was begun by the
foreign hands. Later, -the strikers
menaced men who were working uoon
the steamer Mas and threatened them
with death. The workmen were put
to flight.
The most serious outbreak occurred
at the Cockerill wharf, where the
strikers re-assembled and were charged
oy ine ponce vrita drawn sabres. The
officers used their revolvers also and
it is stated that thirty men were
wounded, ten of them seriously.
Many arrests were made.

Washington, December 22. Frank
H. Morris, of Ohio, auditor of the
War Department, was. shot and in
stantly killed about 2:10 o'clock this
afternoon by Samuel MacDonald, also
of Ohio, recently a disbursing clerk of
the Treasury, in the former's office at
me winder building". on Seventeenth
street. MacDonald, '. afterward shot
himself, and also slashed his throat
witn a pen Knife. .
Auditor Moms was closeted alone
witn .Macuonald when the shooting
occurred. and: in trying to make his
escape, he also assaulted the watch
man, Thomas Cusickwith the butt of
his revolver. He was -arrested while
leaving the buiKftoff. Before being
taken into custody, however, he shot
himself in the stomach, and also made
an ugly gash in his throat with a small
penknife. When the officers arrested
him, he was heard to exclaim, "I did
it." I know I'm done for."
An eye witness to the latter part cf
the encounter between tbe two men
stated that upon hearing the sound of
toe snots ne ran into tbe auditor's of
fice, which he had just left. Upon
entering the room he beheld the two
men struggling in each other's arms,
MacDonald holding his revolver close
up to Morris' breast MacDonald after
firing, again attem pted to get out of
the room, but encountered a number
of clerks and employes, which the
sound of the firing had brought to the
doors, and then turned and fired
again. This is believed to have been
tbe fatal shot. Employes who knew
MacBonald said he had had a griev
ance against Morris who he claimed
was responsible for having his pay re
duced. Others who knew him said
that they could not attribute his deed
to anything but a diseased brain '
from over indulgence in liquor. !
Frank EL Morris was a native of j
Cleveland, O. He was well regarded !
uytne ireahury oinciais, but was not
popular with some of the subordin
ates in his office, who complained
that he was unnecessarily harsh in his
treatment of them and often exacted
more work than they could do. Mac
Donald is a brother of William H.
atacuonald, the well-known baritone
singer of the Bostonians, and is said to
have educated him for the operatic
stage. He is also from Ohio and has bee n

after tbe civil war. In February,

make an explanation he claimed that i
on one occasion he had forgotten to j
close his safe on leaving his office, and I

He produced evidence which tended to
exonerate him from the charge of tak
ing the money and as he immediately
made good the amount nothing further
was done except to reduce his salary

that MacDonald has been a hard

"I see by the papers," said the doctor,
mentioning the story of a large bill re
ported to have been sent in by a surgeon
of the city, "that this doctor didn't feel
satisfied with $4,000. He thought he
ought to have $4,600. That's a rather
fine distinction perhaps, but it all depends
on the sort of a case 'which the surgeon
treated. A man with his skill and his
standing can charge almost anything he
pleases. ,
JThe way "In which some' physicians
earn largo fees is curious. I recall one
case of the sort or at least a story of a
case, for I won't vouch for the truth of it
alL A man had been suffering for some
time with gastritis and had'been treated
for more than a year by several Dhysi-
cians. The usual treatment is to put the
patient on a milk diet. That usually does
the work, but this man kept growing
worse. He finally summoned Dr. B., one
of the best known physicians in the city.
When Dr. B. learned the history of the
ease, he took one long look at the man's
face and reached for his hat.

said. 'Ton meet me tomorrow at Del

This is erroneous There are no'l

the South African republics to the
United States for the purpose of buy
ing lands or settling here. All of
these people intend remaining in South

BORROWED ON HIS SALARY.
Difference Between Gettlnsr X;
and Getting: Oat of Debt.
'Apropos of borrowing monev on nna'a
salary," said a prominent merchant of
City, talking of that DOCnliar nhnaa
the loan business, "I am reminded of a
us case that came under mv oba
vatlon net long ago. A young man em
ployed on the clerical stall of a large con
cern here was given a tip on a 'good
T-oing in cotton. It came to him in such
a way that he felt absolutely certain of
cleaning up a nice little sum of money,
and as he bad no funds of his own Just
then he took the liberty of borrowing
$250 from the house. In plain English
he stole $250 from the firm's currant
cash, and when he lost, as ha did, ha
found himself in the deuce of a fix.
"However, he was able to carry things
over without detection for a few days
and in the meantime succeeded in getting
a loan of the necessary sum from a pri
vate money shark. The loan was for six
months, and he agreed to pay 15 per cent
a month, or $475 altogether. That was
pretty steep, of course, but I have known
a dozen cases of extortion almost as bad.
"At the expiration of the six months
the young, man paid tbe $225 interest and
hustled up another $250 loan to lift the
principal. On that second loan I think
he paid 10 per cent a month. At any
te he kept oa borrowing from Peter to
pay Pan! for nearly three years to be
exact 84 months at the cad of which
time he had actually paid more than
$1,250 interest and still owed the original
debt. He had a growing family on his
kr io-snite of all his squeezing
ana scraping was never a Die iu s7t rtd ot
the load.
"During the last year he had fallen in
to the hands of a salary shaver, and even
tually he was prevented by IVtiw from
malring a payment, and on of bis orders
was presented to his employer. Upon
that he made a clean breast of the -whole
transaction, and his boas. Instead of dis
charging him, took np the debt and is let
ting him pay it off a little at a time. This
is an absolutely true story and shows
what can happen to a fellow when he
gets in the lion's paws." New Orleans

"There is a negro who has committed
the worstest crime ever," she said. "It's
so awful I can't hardly tell about it.
My mother died a week ago, and he
done took a pawn ticket from the
corpse. Now he's done took out a dia

mother's, and now the ring should be
mine, but he won't give It to me."
"Well, that s rather bad," admitted
the magistrate, signing a warrant for
the offender.
The young woman returned in the
afternoon In company "with a well
dressed negro with whom she seemed
to be on very friendly terms. He waa
the defendant.
"What have you got to say to the

him. f
"Why," the man replied smilingly,
"the dead woman was my wife."
"Is be yonr stepfather?" asked the

AN IMPORTANT DECISION
Pekin, Dec, 23. The joint note to
China was signed by the foreign min
isters at 11 o'clock this moraine;. It
will be presented to the Chinese offi
cials in two or three days.
The Chinese close to Li Husk Chang
still prefer to believe, despite the
signing of the note, which they did
not believe wbuld take place, that the
principal negotiations must be carried
on in Europe or America. They re
sent the British modification of the
note, for, as they say, some Power or i
Powers might not be satisfied until!
the indemnity is paid in full, which
means the occupation of Pekin for an
indefinite time, as it cannot be ex
pected that China can raise what
would be required possibly 1,000,
OOOjOOQ taels at once. Asa matter of
fact it will take several years.
Li Hung Chang's condition is re
ported to-day to be so much improved
that he was able to be out of bed for a
short time.

In Favor of the Defendant, the Western
Union Telegraph Company.
- By Telegraph to the Horning star.
St. Paul, Minn., December 22. A
suit involving several million dollars,
the value of the telegraph lines along
the route of the Great Northern rail
way, from St. Paul to the Pacific
coast, was decided late this afternoon
by Judge Lochren in the United States
District Court in favor of the defend
ant, the Western Union Telegraph
Company. Its importance, however,
was not alone the amount of money
involved, for it was the general under
standing tnat should the railway com
pany have won, all the great railway
systems of the country would at the
expiration of their contracts with the
Western Union Telegraph Company
have claimed the ownership of the
telegraph lines along their right of
way. and either operated them inde
pendently or have formed a consolida
tion which would have been a strong
competitor in the telegraphic field.
Governor Boosevelt announced last
night that he had removed from office
Colonel Asa Bird Gardiner, district 1
attorney of New York county, on
charges preferred by Deputy Attorney
General J. EL Hammond, and had ap-
Sointed Eugene J. Philbin, of the
tate county charities, a Democrat, to
fill the vacancy.
