HAKES THE DIFFERENCE TELLIKn TUB BEES. EUGENE FIELD. Out of the house where the slumberer I lay, Grandfather came one summer daj. And under the pleasant orchard trees He spake thus wise to the murmuring bees: "Tha fflnvp hlrv-im that kissed her feet And the posy bed where she use - to play. Have honey store, but none - so sweet As ere our little one went away. O bees, sing soft, and bees, sine low; For she is gone who loved you so." A wonder fell on the listening bees, Under these pleasant orchard trees, And in their toil that summer day Even their murmuring seemed to say : "Child, O child, the grass is cool, And the posies are waking to hear the song Of the bird that swings by the shad ed pool, " Waiting for one that , tarrieth long." 'twas so they called to the little J one then, . As if to call her back again. O gentle bees, I have come to say That grandfather fell asleep to day, And we knew by the smile on grand father's face, -He has found his dear one's biding place. So, bees, sing soft, and, bees, sing low, As over the honey fields you sweep To the trees abloom and the flowers ablow Sing of grandfather fast asleep; And ever beneath these orchard trees Find cheer and shelter, gentle bees. ELEVATORS SAVING DAYS' WORK. Pignrpit of an Old Man Who Ones - Climbed Weary Stain. Recently nn old man stood in the cor ridor of n big office building, with watch in hand, making figures from time to time on the back of an envelope. - There were many who wondered what he was doing. lie was computing how much time the modern elevators in our high buildings save to men in a iny. and to one who spoke to him he 'told how for years, -away back in the sixties, he had worked in the sixth story of a building which was .then one of the highest in the city or the country either, for that matter; how. though youirg and spry then, he had drraded that climb up six sheer stair llights; how the men in the place would draw lots to see who at luncheon time should make the journey to the street to buy cakes and pie for the noonday meal, and how ho had at times gone without hia lunrtu'on rather than use up so much strength in clirnbing the stairs. It took a minute and a half then for a young man to go up, he said, but the manager of the factory, who was more than 50 years old and somewhat rheumatic, al ways spent four minutes in the upward struggle. "I was just figuring on the. time saved by this modern appliance," the old man continued, "and I calculate that it is at leust four minutes for every young man who goes to the twenty-fifth floor and ten minutes for your 'elderly gentlemen.' These express elevators, stopping only above the thirteenth- floor, average 45 seconds in reaching the top. Of course we wouldn't have 20 or 30 story struc tures if the modern elevator manufac turers had not kept pace with the archi tects and builders, but I am arguing from the other side." And he showed an ar ray of figures (o prove that in a day's average business, in which 2,500 passen gers are carried, two whole working days are gained. His young" friend did not dispute him. It is in New York of course, with its score of buildings iliat are 14 stories high and overvtat the elevator has reached its greatest development. In the master of speed the makers have vied .with one another until 800 feet a minute is the rate at which the cars can be pro pelled. This means to the twentieth floor of a building in 30 seconds, a veloci ty that is gained by a multiplication of gear wheels over which the car cables run. New York Post. Why He Was Successful. The fact that success Is mainly due to hard work has beep expressed in many different ways, but one of the best was that recently employed by a very success ful commercial traveler. He was talking with a companion, n rather lazy fellow, when the latter exclaimed: "I declare. Jack. I can't understand why you always succeed In selling so many more goods than I do!" "I'll tell you why it is," replied Jack. "But." he added, "it's a trade secret, and you mustn't tell it to everybody." "Of course I wouldn't do such a thing," was the answer. "Well, then," said Jack impressively, "I succeed because when I'm doing busi ness 1 wear, out the soles of my shoes more than the seat of my trousers." London Telegraph. The Secret of Success.

Bewstu The Kind You Have Always Bought Signature of 'WW DISHONEST DEPOSITORS. Rumor md. Pathoa of the Sarins Bank la Great Citiea. Writing of the sayings banks and their depositors in The Century, Richard Boughton tells of the embarrassment sometimes caused to bank officials by dis honest patrons. . . The great bulk of depositors, perhaps 65 per cent, are of the laboring classes, the weekly wnpe earners; then come the middle and well to do class, say 30 per cent, and lastly the very rich man and the criminal in about equal proportions. By criminal I do not mean to confine this class to bank burglars, check forgers and bank note counterfeiters you will see all of these if you watch the line long enough bat I include all those men and women who avoid police notice when they can and are occasionally "wanted" at police headquarters, the rich keeper of the fashionable gambling house, the woman who is suspected of knowing the whereabouts of a vanished thief or forger, the man who never breaks into a bank himself, but takes a friendly and patronly interest in those who do, and so on up and down the scale of cos mopolitan vice. At one time or another they all have savings bank accounts. It seems incomprehensible, but people of all these classes are frequent, even perma nent depositors. I do not say this from hearsay, but fiave seen examples of each of them lodging their money even in their own names. What can you do with these people when they come to deposit? It is not criminal -to save money, and you cannot arrest them. In some cases their ac counts are closed by the banks, and they are told to take themselves off, a hint upon which they ' promptly and quietly act, possibly from fear of the police, ac customed as they are to obey when told to "move on." Some of them, however, are not easily got rid of. A famous confidence woman had her account In a New York bank, and her quiet demeanor, amiable smile, innocent, almost girlish timidity, quite won the chief official in charge. He was accustomed to call her aside politely from the somewhat rough crowded line, give her a chair in the anteroom and send her passbook and money by one of the clerks to the receiving teller. Her identity was finally discovered through a police inquiry at the bank, and the next time she cajled the old gentleman offered her not a chair, but her passbook with her deposits in full. The "poor young thing" Terri swore at him like a trooper. It was quite necessary to call in the moral influence of the porter, displaying his "special deputy"" badge, before Miss Innocent made less noise and took herself and her deposits out of the bank, giving the old gentleman a parting shot at the doorway. The president and managing officials of a leading bank once debated long and seriously whether they should inform the authorities that just after a famous t burglary three men and two women had deposited $8,000 each in new bank Dins that Dossibly were a portion of those that hnd recently been stolen in transit be tween the two banks. It was a question whether the suspicion would justify this action, -which of course would become Dublic. nerhans get into the newspapers and some illiterate depositors might hear the story with a new twist given to it; not that bnrelars had put money into the bank, but had been in and had taken some out. The result would be a run. It was" finally decided to do nothing, at least for the time. Soon afterward the thieves for such they were relieved the bank's perplexity. Two of the men and the two women came in singly, but in a hurry, drew thefull amount that was in their names and made off. The fifth of the party did not return until years aft erward, when a man with cropped nair, an unconscious lockstep halt in his walk and other evidences of haying been tem porarily retired from society called and drew the deposit that had slumbered while he was "doing time up the river." HIS VIVID DREAM. The Part That It Played In Savins Hia Brother's Life. "I never had but one experience in my life that verged on the abnormal," said the colonel after the whist game at the club the other night when the conversa tion had somehow gravitated to queer coincidences, strange premonitions and similar unaccountable happenings. "It took place several years, ago," he contin ued, In response to a little pressing for the story, "when I was living in apart ments in upper Canal street and had a buslnms office on the second, floor of a building in St. Charles. At that time I was very methodical. At 6 o'clock sharp I would shut up the office for the night, dine, spend awhile at the club and gen erally reached home at abont 10:30. Then I would get into a dressing gown, turn up the lamp and proceed to read myself sleepy. "On the night I have in mind I follow ed that programme to the letter; but, contrary to all my habits, I fell asleep in my chair and had a vivid dream or, rather, a sort of swift, flashing vision. I thought I was standing at the head ot the flight ot stairs leading np to my of fice in St. Charles street and that my door was ajar about a foot, showing a pitch dark interior. I seemed to have jnst arrived for some purpose or other, and I was conscious of a strong feeling of surprise that the door should be open, but before I could form any conjecture in regard to the matter I awoke. "The picture was absolutely common place, but it was so extraordinarily dis tinct that for a moment or two I could hardly realize where I was. It seemed certain that I had just been standing in the office hallway, and the impression was so firm and clear I thought at first 1 mast have been walking in my sleep My watch showed that I had been dozing less than five minutes, however, and somnambulism was plainly out of the question. "As yon may well believe, the inci dent left me wide awake, and I tried in vain to reeompose my nerves over a book, but in spite of all my efforts I found it impossible to get that gaping office door out of my mind. I had a feeling, which became stronger and stron ger every moment, that I must have accidentally left it open when I went away the preceding evening, and, seeing that sleep was not to be thought of until 1 settled the matter one way or the oth er, I finally got up, dressed and started down town. By the time I reached the stairs I was so firmly convinced that the door would be open that I called a po liceman to go up with me and was not in the least surprised to find things exactly as l had seen them in my dream. "But the strangest part of the story is to come. Inside the office was my broth er. It seemed that he had been passing the stairs an hour of so before, when he was suddenly 'seized with an attack of vertigo and went up to lie down. He is a very large, heavy man, and the seizure assumed a sort of apoplectic form which had already rendered him partly uncon scious at the time I arrived. I sent' for a carriage and had him taken to his house,-where he was ill for four or five weeks. What would have been the con sequence.'but for my opportune appear ance I don't pretend to say, and I have absolutely no theory to advance in regard to the circumtances that led me down that night. The- episode occurred ex actly as I have related it, and I have never allowed-myself to waste any time in speculating over the matter. I have simply relegated it to the category of things that can't" be explained." New Orleans Times-Democrat. A Proud Father. A member of the New York Yacht club was proudly boasting to an old friend he had not seen in 15 years of the merits of his children, "Henry, as you may possiniy have heard, is at Harvard.

I wanted to bring up my sons as far apart as possible, under hope lessly different and varying circum stances. - Of course Archbold has not as yet done anything for the family.

Young Mao Unable to Overcome Madden. ing Infatuation for Yonng Lady is ' Declared Insane. v aT Because be has a rather peculiar and mad infatuation Jor - several young ladies whom he has lately met and insists upon imposing his company upon them whether desired or not, T. H. Bobbins, aged 85 years and a sashmaker at the Fore & Foster factory, was the principal in a rather sensational investigation by a com mission of lunacy in the office of Col. Jno. D. Taylor yesterday afternoon. The physicians in attendance were Drs. D. W. Bulluck, Jos. C. Shepard andC. D. Bell. The proceedings grew outpf a dis turbance which resulted from young Bobbins approaching a young lady on her return home from Grace Church Sunday afternoon and insisting upon accompanying her home, notwith standing that she had company in the person of her first cousin, Mr. James Davis, and that the young lady was not desirous of receiving attentions from him. Bobbins insisted upon ac companying the young lady and was dealt a severe blow by Mr. Davis, who had knowledge of Bobbins' persistency in paying attention to the young lady before. I The case originally came up . in the police court yesterday morning I and Mayor Waddell sent the young man over for tne lunacy commission. He was represented at the hearing by Marsden Bellamy, Jr., Esq., and L. Y. Grady, Esq.,. appeared for the prosecution. He was adjudged insane after hearing a number of witnesses and the opinion of the medical experts, who said that he was perfectly conscious of wrong doing but was powerless to prevent it. Mr. Bellamy intimated that if there was any further legal step to take to save his client from the asylum, he would do so as he is perfectly confi dent that the young man is sane. He has a brother and two sisters living in the city and is regarded as one of the most skillful and well paid employes at the sash factory. Several years ago he is said to have become so infatuated with a young lady who scorned his attentions that be procured a marriage license, drove to h,er home and demanded that she marry him. The police interfered and he had since dropped from public notice until yesterday. The Brunswick Incendiaries.

Meade of the U. S. Marine Corps. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Washington, September 11. The longest court of inquiry in the history of the navy, that held at the Brooklyn navy yard 10 investigate trouble in the marine corps, has come to a sensa tional termination, bringing in a recommendation which may result in very serious consequences for an officer of high rank. Major C. H, Lauchheimer and Colonel F. L. Denny charged Colonel Bobert L Meade with drunkennes on duty, while an inspec tion was in progress at the Brooklyn navy yard. Colonel fTeade replied by charging Major Lauchheimer with making a false report and Colonel Denny with reporting against him (Meade) in order to cover up irregu larities with contractors on Denny's part. The court of inquiry acquitted Major Lauchheimer and Colonel Den ny of Colonel Meade's charges. It sustained the charge against Colonel Meade and in addition charged him with violation of the naval regulations in replying with a counter charge when asked for a report, and also of false swearing on the witness stand. The court recommended that the col onel be tried by court martial upon these charges. The court lasted four weeks, break ing all naval records for- a court of in quiry. In addition it was marked by an extraordinary event in the fact that on the 15th day of the trial Command er West, a member of the court, was challenged by Major Lauchheimer and required to withdraw from member ship by his colleagues. The reasons for the challenge sent out by Major Lauchheimer was that Commander West was, by friendship for Colonel Meade, unable to act impartially. Thta Will Interest mtaar.

The bowsprit was cut out of her, bringing down all the head gear, and the foretopmast was broken off above the foremast head and the windlass was also broken. The steam er stood by until daylight. Captain Burch asked the steamer for assistance but the Albano steamed away to the southward paying no further heed to the schooner. Bnllfig-hters Afraid of Cows. It will probably not surprise our readers to hear that most Spanish bull fighters object to fighting cows. The real reason may, however, astonish them. A sportsmanlike objection to persecuting a female animal has noth ing, whatever to do with it. The factis that. the average toreador is sincerely afraid of a cow. And he has good reason. The cows of the half wild breed used for the arena are much quicker in their movements than are the bulls. Their horns are more pointed and more formidable. They do not lower their heads to the ground, shut their eyes and charge like a locomotive upon the rails, but are alert and ready to follow every move ment of their persecutors. Their war like tactics have been adapted not to blind, bovine frontal attacks, but to the strategy of active and cunning beasts of prey, of which the human bullfighter is only a feeble mimic. If these cheap Idols of the Spanish populace would face young and active wild cows which had just been robbed of their calves, they might perhaps forestall the butch er, but they would, at any rate, do something to earn their laurels. Pear son's. An Editor sad a Golden Hair. "OneXpeautlful spring morning an editor found a golden hair lying be tween the pages of a manuscript," writes Edward Bok in The Ladies' Home Journal. "The moment he reach ed the page it gracefully fluttered out. Flushed with excitement, the editor caught it. It was not his hair, he ar gued, therefore it was not his property. Then, again, he thought, the owner probably lost it and might need it So he put lt back. He was a methodical man, and he replaced lt exactly as he had found it. He was not many days older when he received a letter proving by the very hair he had so dexterously caught and conscientiously replaced that he never had read or even opened the manuscript of the writer. Could anything have been a clearer case against the editor? Most certainly, not. It was conclusive and final, don't you see?" And Still Slie Wept. Toto was cryhiR. -What's the mat ter?" asked one of lior father's friends. .'Tze lost my 2 cents!" she walled. 'Well, never mind. Here are 2 cents," said the friend. " Soon Toto was crying harder than ever. "What's the matter now?" she was asked. "I'm crying because if I hadn't lost my 2 cents I'd had 4 now!" was her reply. Detroit Free Press.

Austin, the ex-pre acher and labor agi tator,, was last week convicted of lar ceny in Rowan Superior Court and sentenced to eighteen months in the penitentiary. An appeal was taken and Austin, in default-of-fSOO bond, was committed to jail pending the ap peal. When Austin was sentenced he indulged in a harangue in which he denounced almost everything and everybody. He criticised Solicitor Rush and Mr. B. F. Long, who as sisted in the prosecution, and also criticised his own counsel's conduct of the case. A gentleman whose yaracity is unquestioned was telling last week of a man in Alexander county who t ate a thirty-two pound water melon a few days ago. The circumstances which brought the man's eating capacity to the test were these: He was financially broke and the owner of a load of melons wager ed him a thirty-two rounder against two days' work that he could not eat the melon there and then. The hun gry man ate the melon, and who will argue that he didn't weigh more after eating than he did before? The handsome steam yacht Rapidan, owned by Robert Hall McCormick, the Chicago millionaire, went ashore on the point off Cape Henry on Tues day night and probably will become a total wreck.

Remanded to Jail Without Ball to be Held Until Prlday, September 19ih, for Examination. By Telegrapn to the Morning Btsr Chicago, September 11. Magistral Prindiville to-day decided that Emma Goldman, the anarchistic lecturer un der arrest here, should be held without bail until Friday, pending the decision of similar cases in the Superior Court Miss Goldman appeared for a hear ing before the magistrate .during the forenoon. She had not secured coun sel, but in a determined voice declared that she was ready to act as her own attorney. The assistant city prosecutor however, obtained a continuance of the hearing till September 19th, the date set for the hearing of the other anarchists in custody here. Mr. Owens the prosecutor, stated that the result of an investigation at Buffalo was be ing awaited. The court postponed its decision in the matter of ;bail, which Miss Goldman demanded the privilege ofifurnishintr until later in the day. While waiiin" Judge Chetlain, in the Superior CoujV held the other anarchists until Friday when, he said, he would hear aW ments in the application for writs o; habeas corpus. As the charge against Miss Goldman, "conspiracy to murdtr President McKinley," is the one lodged against the local anarchists, who arc named as co-conspirators with Miss Goldman, Magistrate Prindiville thought it wise to await the decision of the higher court. He said it would be necessary for counsel to apply for a writ for Miss Goldman, as he would deal exactly with Miss Goldman ss Judge Chetlain did with the other prisoners. Miss Goldman appeared in court at 9.30 A. M. under escort of Matron Keegan. She seemed surprised that no lawyer was there to take up her defence and glanced uneasily about tbc room, full of uncouth prisoners and curious spectators. She asked for lawyers Saltiel and- Brown, Thev were not in court and Justice Prindi ville said he would wait a reasonable time for them to appear. Although the telephone was kept busy, an hour elapsed and the lawyers were still ab sent. Chief of Detectives Colleran then demanded that the hearinp should proceed. It took only a few minutes and Miss Goldman was led back to her room in the women's an nex. She looked tired and nervous. When Prosecutor Owens repeated thi charge against her she flushed and then smiled. When the defendant was escorted back. to the court room Justice Prindi ville said to her: "Your iawyers do not seem to be inclined to come." Miss Goldman "I learn that they are very busy with the other cases, so we will leave it. It does not matter. I can take charge of the case myself." Prosecutor Owens "I renew my motion to continue the case mtil the 19th and that she be held without bail." Miss Goldman demanded a hearing and asked that she be admitted to bail. The Court (to Mr. Owens)-"Why do you want a continuance?" , , Owens "The absence of material witnesses. I propose to show thai Emma Goldman conspired together with the other nine defendants to as sassinate President McKinley, and until such time as we receive further information from Buffalo I ask that your honor continue- the case until the 19th, together with all the other defendants. She is charged with con spiracy to kill; and if President Mc Kinley dies she will be an accessory before the fact and the principal, and 1 be just as guilty as Uzolgosz. 11 is a capital offence, and 1 do : the offertcft is bailable under the cir cumstances of The Court "Well, I will continue it until 4Via IQt'Yi What hatrn vnil tO say about the bail part of it, Miss Goldman?" - Miss Goldman "I want to be put under bail, as I asked, because I be lieve tthe case is a trumped-up charge and has no evidence whatsoever." Owens "Your honor, all the other defendants were committed without bail, and if there is any guilt, Emma Goldman is the arch conspirator. She is not entitled to any bail under the circumstances." After some further discussion the court continued the case and held the question Of bail open until afternoon when bail was refused. Other Anarchists. Chicago, Sept. 11. Attorney Sal tiel appeared before Judge Chetlain just before noon to-day and asked per mission to file a petition in habeas corpus proceedings in behalf of the Isaaks and other alleged anarchists charged with having conspired with Czolgosz for the murder of President McKinley. Emma Goldman was not named m his petition.. Saltiel had failed to notify Chief O'Neill, Sheriff Mager atadt and Justice Prindiville against whom the writ was directed and Judge Chetlain ordered him to do so before proceedings could be taken. Judge Chetlain decided to hold the Isaaks and other anarchists without bail until Friday when argument will be heard on the habeas corpus pre ceedings.
