perous and honorable men that you know,

Dut I am now to tell you that inlustryis
just as important for a wom tn's safety and
happiness. The most unhappy women in
our communities to- lay are thos who havs
no engagements to eal! them up in the morn
ing ; who, onee h tviug ris :i and hreakfast'-! !,

There no happiness in au idle woman
It may he wdli han I, it may l e with brain,
it may be with foot, but work she must or
lie wretched forever. Tiie little gir's of our
families must he started with that ida. Tho
curse of our Am rican so-doty is that our
young women are taught that the first, sc
ond, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh,
tenth, fiftieth, thousan Uh thing in tiieir life
is to get somebody to take care of them. In
stead of that the first lesson should be how,
under God, they may take c.i re of themselves.
The simple fact is that a majority ofthetn do
have to take care of them-elvs, au I that,
too, after having, through the false notions
of their parents, wasted the years in which
they ought to have learned how successfully
to maintain tnemselves. We now and her.3
declare the inhumanity, cruelty and outrage
of that father an 1 mother who pass their
daughters into womaulioo 1, having given
them no facility for earning their livelihood.
Mine, de Staid said, "It is not these writings i
that lam pi did of, but the fact that I have !
facility in ten occupations, .my one of
which I could make a livelihoo 1."
You say you have a fortune to leave tnem.
O man and woman, have you not learnel
that, like vultures, like hawks, like eagles,
riches have wings and fly away? Though
you should be succ essful in leaving a com
petency behind you, the trickery ofexicu- !
tors may swamp it in a night, or some, el Its
or deacons of our churches may get up a
fictitious company an I in lu;o your orphan? j
to put their money into it, and if it be lost
prove to them that it w is eternally decree 1
that that was the way they were to lose it.
and that it went in the most oi tho lox an I
heavenly style.
Oh, t lie damnable schemes that professel
Christians will engage in until Go Tputs Mis
fingers into the collar of the hypocrite's rooo
and rips it clear down the bottom! You j
have no right, because you are well off. to
conclude that your children are going to lu
as well off. A man died, leaving a large
fortune. His son fell dea l in a l'hiladelphia
grogshop. His old comrades came in and
said as they bent over his corpse, "What is
the matter with you, Uoggsey?" The
surgeon standing over himsti I : "Hush up !
He's dea 1 !" "Ah, he is deal!" they siid.
"Come, boys, let us go and take a drink iu
memory ot poor Boggscy !"
Have you nothing better than money to
leave your children? If you have not, but
sen 1 your daughters into the world with
empty brain and uuskilie I hand, you are
guilty of assa.i.sinasion, hoaiicide, regicide,
infanticide. There are women toiling in our
cities for $3 an I t per week who were tho
daughters of merchant princes. These suf
fering ones now would be gla l to have the
crumbs that once full from their fathers'
table. That woruout, broken shoe that she
wears is the lineal descendant of the 12
gaiters in which Ii t mother walkel, au 1
that torn and faded calico had an
cestry of magnificent brocade that
swept Bro.i.lw.iy clean without any ex
pense to the street commissioners.
Though you live in an elegant residence an 1
fare sumptuously every day, let yoard iugh
ters feci it is a disgrace tc them not to know
how to work. I denounce the idea, preva
lent in society, that, though our young wo
men may embroider slippers and crochet
and make mats for lamps, to stand on with
out disgrace, the i le.i of doing anything for
n livelihood is dishonor i'l". It is a s'.w iio
for a young woman, belouging to a larg )
family, to be inefficient wn m the father toils
his life away for her support. It is a shame
for a daughter to b idle while her mother
toils at the was!itu . It is as houorablo to
sweep house, m ike be Is or trim hats as it is
to twist a watch chain.
As far as 1 can understand, the line of re
spectability lies between that which is us ;ful
and that which is useless. If worn -n do that
which is of no value, their work is honora
ble. If they do praetie il work, it is dishon
orable. That our youtig women may escape
the censure of doing dishonorable work I
shall patticu'.ar"7.. You may kuit a tidy for
the back o! ';m arm chair, but by no means
make the men y wis- rcwith to buy the chair.
You may, with eel:. -ate brush, beautify a
mantel ornament, but die rather than earn
enough to buy a mar-do mantel. You may
learn artistic; tr.uic until vou can sip.iail
Italian, but never sing "Ortouville" or Old
Hundred." IJ nothing practical if you
Would ia the eyes of r.-.lae 1 society preserve
your respectability. I scout these llnieal
notions. It dl you no woman, any more
than man, has a rigid to occupy a pfieo ia
this world unless :: pays a rent for it.
In the course of a it otime you consume
whole harvests au 1 drove?, of cattle, and every
day yon live 1 rent he fort y hogsheads of goo.l
pur.- air. Ym! must L-y s ene kind ot useful
liess p iy fur ail ittis. O.if r.i 'e w is the last
tiling create,; the birds an i fishes on the
fourth day, the cattle and liv, ir is on the fifth
day and man on tin sixth 'lay. If geol
ogists are rigat. the eirth was a million of
years in the possession of the insects, beasts
ain I bir is be ore our race came upon it. In
one sense we were innovators. Tae cattle,
the lizards and tho hawks hal pre-emption
rigid. The question is not wiiat we are to
do with the lizir is an I summer iusects, but
what the lizards and summer insects are to
do with us.
If we want a place in this worl 1, we must
earn it. Tno p irtri lge makes its own nest
before it occupies it. The lark by it3 morn
ing song earns its breakfast before it eats it.
'i tie l?ib!e gives an inti n itiou that t ie lirsc
duty of an idler is to starve w'.i n it s ays if
hit "will not work neither shall he eat."
Idleness ruins the health, aul very soon
nature says : "Th:s man has refuse! to pay
his rent. Out with him !"
Society is to be reconstructed on the sub
ject of woman's toil. A vast majority of thos
who would have woman industrious shut her
up to a few kinds oE work. My judgment in
this matter is that a woman has a right to
do anything she can do well. There should
be no department of merchandise, mechan
ism, art or science barred against her. If
Miss Hosmen has genim for scaipturc, give
her a chisel. If Kosa Bonheur has a fond
ness fcr delineating Bnimals, let her make
"The Horse Fair." If Miss Mitchell will
stu ly astronomy, let her mount the starry
lad !er. If Lydi.t will be a merchant, let her
sell purple. If Lucretia Mott will preach the
Gospel, let her thrill with her womanly elo
quence the Quaker meeting house.
It is said that if a woman is given such op
portunities she will occupy places that might
be taken by men. I say if she have more
skill and adapt edness tor any position than a
man has let her have it. She has a3 much
right to her bread, to her apparel and to her
home as men have.
JJut ft is said that her nature is so delicate
that she is unfitted for exhausting toil. I
ask in the name of all past history what toll
on earth is more severe, exhausting and tre
mendous than that toil of the needle to
which forages she has been subjected? The
battering ram, the sword, the carbine, the
battleax, have male no such havoc as the
needle. I would that these living sepulchres
in which women have for ages been br.rie I
might be opened, and that some resurrection
trumpet might bring up these living corpses
to the fresh air and sunlight.
Go with mc, and I wiil show you a woman
who by hardest toil supports her children,
her drunken hu3band, her old father and
mother, pays her house rent, always has
wholesome food on the table, an I wheu she
can get some neighbor on the Sahbath to
come in and take care of her family appears
in church with hat an 1 cloak that are far
from indicating tiie toil to which she issab
jecte 1.
Such a woman as that has body and soul
enough to lit her for any position. She
could stand beside the majority of your
salesmen and dispose of more goo Is. She
;ould go into your wheelwright shop- anl
beat one-half of your workmen at making
carriages. We talk about Toman as though
we had resigned to her all tha light work,
snd ourselves had shoul lere I the heavier.
But the day of ju lgment, which will rave.il
the sufferings of the stake anl inquisition,
will marshal before the throne of Go i anl
the hierareiis of heaven the martyrs of wash
tub and needle.
Now. I say, if there bo any preference in
occupation, let woman have it. Go 1 knows
her trials tire the severest. By her acuter
sensitiveness to misfortune, by her hour of
anguish. I demand that no one hedge up her
pithw iy to a livelihoo 1. Oh, the meanness,
the despicability of men who begrudge a
woman the right to work anywhere in any
honorable calling !
I go still further and say that women
should have equal compensation with men.
By what principle of justice is it that women
in many of our cities get only two-thirds as
mu -h pay as men. and in many cases only
half? Here is the gigantic injustice ?liat
work equally well if not better done worn.au
receives lar less; compens it ion than man.
Start with the national government. For a
long while women clerks in Washington got
SitOO for doing that for which men received
SI SO 3.
To thousin Is of young woneninour cities
to-lay there is only this alternative starva
tion or dishonor. Many of the largest mer
cantile establishments of our cities are ac
cessory to these abominations, and from
their large establishments there are scores of
souls being pitched olT into death, anl their
employers know it !
Is there a God? Will there be a judgment?
I tell you, if Go 1 rises up to redress woman's
wrongs, many of our large establishments
will be swallowed up quicker than a South
American earthquake ever took dowu aoity.
God will catch tliese oppressors between the
two millstoues of His wrath and grind them
to powder !
I hear from all this land the wail of wo
manhood. Man has nothing to answer to
that wail but flatteries, IT says she is an
angel. She is not. She knows she is not.
She is a human being, who gets hungry when
she has no food and cold when she has no
Are. Give her no more flatteries. Give her
justice !
There aro about o0;003 sewing girls in New
York and Brooklyn. ' Across the darkness of
this night I hear their death groans. It is
not such a cry as comes from those who are
suddenly hurled out of life, but a slow,
grinding, horrible wasting away. Gather
them beforo you and look into their faces,
pinched, ghastly, hunger struck ! Look at
their fingers, needle pricke I and bloo I
tipped ! See that premature stoop in the
shoulders ! Hear that dry, hacking, merci
less cough !
At a large meeting of these women, held
in a hall in Philadelphia, grand speeches
were delivered, but a needle-woman took
the stand, threw aside her fa led shawl, and
with her shriveled arin hurled a very thunder
bolt of eloquence, speaking out the horrors
of her own experience.
Stand at the corner oi a street in Now
York in the very early morning as the wo
men go to their work. Many of them had
no breakfast except the crumbs that were
left over from the night before or a crust
they chew on their way through the
streets. Here they come the work
ing girls of the city! Tnese engaged in
beadwork, these in flower making, in millin
ery, enameling, cigar making, bookbinding,
labeling, feather picking, print coloring,
paper box making, but, most overworked of
all and least compensated, the sewing
women. Why do they not take the eity car3
on their way up? They cannot afford the
five cents. If, concluding to deny herself
something else, she gets into the car, give
her seat. You want to see how Latimer and
Itidley appeared in the fire. Look at that
woman and behold a more horrible martyr
dom a hotter fire, a more agonizing death.
One Sabbath night, in the vestibulo of my
church, after service a woman fell in con
vulsion?. The doctor said she neelod medi
cine not so much as something to eat. As
she began to revive, iu her delirium she said
gaspingly : "Eight cents ! Eight cents ! Eight
cents ! I wish I could get it done ! I am so
tired ! I wish I coul 1 get some sleep, but I
must get it done ! Eight cents ! Eight cents !"
Wefounl afterward that she was making
garments at eight cents apiece, an i that she
could make but three of thom in a day. Hear
it ! Three times eight are twenty-four. Hear
it, men an 1 women who have comfortable
homes !
Some of tho worst villains of the city are
the employers of these women. They beat
them down to the last penny and try to
cheat them out of that. The woman must
deposit $1 or 2 beforo she gets the gar
ments to work on. Wnon the work is done,
it is sharply inspected, the most insignifi
cant flaws picked out and the wages refused,
and sometimes the -1 deposited not given
back. Tho Women's Protective Union re
ports a case where one of these poor souls,
tinting a place where she couli get more
wages, resolved to change employers and
went to get her pay for work done. The
employer says. "I hear you are going to
leave me?" "Yes," she said, "and I have
come to get what you owe me." He made
no answer. She sai 1, "Are you not going
to pay me? ' "Yes," he said, "I will pay
you," and he kicked her downstairs.
How are these evils to be eradicated?
What have you to answer, you who sell
coats an I have shoes made and contract for
the southern and western markets? What
help is there, what panacea, what redemp
tion? Some saj-, "'Give women the ballot.''
What effect sucii ballot might have on other
questions I am not here to disccuss, but
what would be the effect of female suffrage
upon woman's wages? I do not believe that
woman will ever get justice by woman's
ballot.
Indeed, women oppress women as much as
men do. Do not women, as much as men.
be it down lo the lo west iigure the wo nan
who sews for them? Are not women as sharp
as men on washerwomen and milliners an I
mantui makers? If a woman asks f 1 for her
work, does not her female employer ask if
she will not take ninety cents? You say,
"Only ten cents difference." But that is
sometimes the difference between heaven
and hell. Women often have less commis
eration for women than men. If a woman
steps aside from the path of virtue, man may
forgivs woman never ! Woman will never
get justice done her from woman's ballot.
Never will she get it from man's ballot.
How, then? God will rise up for her. God
has more resources than we know o The
flaming sword that hung at Eden's gate
when woman was driven out will cleave with
its terrible edsre her oppressors.
But there is something for our women to
do. Let our young people prepare to excel
in spheres of work, and they will bo able
after awhiie to get larger wages. If it be
shown that a woman can in a stcre sell rrora
goods in a year than a man, she will soon be
able not only to ask but to demini more
wages, and to demand them successfully.
Unskilled an I incompetent labor must take
what is given. Skilled and competent labor
will eventually make its owa standar I. Ad
mitting that the law of sufpl3'anl demand
regulates these things, I contend that the
demand for skillel labor is very great anl
the supply very small.
Start with the idea that work is honorable
and that you can do some one thing better
than aryone else. Resolve that. God help
ing, you will take care of yourself. If you
are after a while called into another relation,
you will all the better be qualified for it by
your spirit of self-reliance, or if you are
called to stay as you are you can be happy
and s-df-supporting.
Poets are fou l of talking about man as aa
oak an l woman the vine that climbs it, but I
have seen many a tree fall that not only
went dowu itself, but took all the vines with
it. I can tell you of something stronger
than an oak for an ivy to climb on, and that
is the throne of the great Jehovah. Single,
or affianced, that woman is stroug who leans
on God and does her best. The needle may
break, the factory band may slip, the wages
may fail, but over every goo I woman's heal
there are spread the two great, gentle, stu
pendous wings of the Almighty.
Manj- of you will go single handed through
life, and you will have to choose between
two characters. Young woman, I am sure
you will turn your back upon the useless,
giggling, painted nonentity which society
ignoininious:y acknowle lges to be a woman
and ask Go I to make you a humble, active,
earnest Christian.
What will become oT this go lless disciple
of fashion? What an insult to her sex ! Her
manner3 aro an outrage upon decency. She
is more thoughtful of the attitude she
strikes upon the carpet than how she will
look in the judgment, more worried about
her freckles than her sins, more interested
in her bonnet strings than in her redemp
tion. Her apparel is the pootest part of a
Christian woman, however magniliceutly
dressed, and no one has so much right to
dress well as a Christian. Not so with the
god hss disciple of fashion. Take her
robes, and you take everything. Death
will come down on her some day, an I rub
the bistre off her eyeli Is, aul the rouge off
her clucks, and with two rough, bony hands
scatter spangles an I glass beads and ring-!
and ribbons an I lace an 1 brooches an i
buckles and sashes and frisettes and golden
clasps.
Tiie dying actress whose life had been
vicious sai 1 : "The scene closes. Draw the
curtain." Generally the tragedy comes first
and the farce afterward, but in her life it
was first the farce of a useless lite and then
the tragedy of a wretchel eternity.
Compare the life and death of such a one
with that of some Christian aunt that was
once a blessing to your household. I do not
know thr.t she was ever offered a hand in
marriage. She lived single, that untram
meled she might be everybody s blessing.
Whenever the sick were to be visited or the
poor to be provided with bread, she went
with a blessing. She could pray or sing
"Koek oE Ages" for any sick pauper who
asked her. As she got older there were days
when she was a little sharp, but for tho
most part auntie was a sunbeam just
the one for Christmas eve. She knew
better than any one else how to fix
things. Her every prayer, as God heard
it, was full of everybody who hal trouble.
The brightest things in all the house droppel
from lier lingers. She had peculiar notions,
but the grandest notion she ever had was to
make you happy. She dressed well auntie
always dressed well but her highest adorn
ment was that of a meek and quiet spirit,
which, in the sight of GoJ, is of great price.
When she died, 3-ou all gathered lovingly
about her, anl us you carried her out to rest
the Sunday-school class almost covered the
coffin with japonicas, anl the poor people
stoo l at the end of the alley, with their
aprons to their eyes, sobbing bitterly, anl
tiie man of the world said, with Solomon,
"Her price was above rubies," and Jesus, as

One of Ilerrmann's Great Tricks.
People Lave repeatedly asked ma
which of my tricks have pleased me
the most and which I take most delight
in performing. Naturally the effort that
brings the greatest success is regarded
by a man his best.
I consider the trick of restoring the
shattered mirror as my most famous
one. This I had the honor of perform
ing before the Czar of Russia upon an
invitation to give an exhibion at his
court.
It was done unexpectedly to the spec
tators, and was not down on tho regu
lar bill. "While playirjg billiards with
the attaches of the court after the
performance, the Czar being pres
ent in the saloon, I shot a ball
with all my strength against a plate
glass mirror extending from floor to
ceiling.
It was shivered into fifty pieces.
Consternation was depicted on every
countenance; and none more plainly
than my own.
While the Czar courteously waived
my apology, considering the destruc
tion of the mirror a? trifling, and order
ed the game to proceed, I could easily
see that my awkwardness made a dis
agreeable impression.
With the Czar's permission I exam
ined the mirror to estimate the damage
done and the possibility of repairing it.
While so engaged one of the suite
playfully challenged me to exercise my
art and make the mirror whole again,
never dreaming that his challenge waa
the very cue I wanted, and not con
sidering tho acceptance of it as pos
sible. I hesitated an instant and then
ordered the mirror to be covered with
a cloth, entirely concealing it from
view.
On the removal of the cloth, after
ten minutes, the mirror was found with
out a flaw, and as perfect as before the
damage ! I will leave it to my readers'
imagination to decide how this trick
was done.

FIVE WAIFS POISONED.
THEY ATE SLAG EOOT AND
DIED IN GKEAT AGONY.
Fifteen Inmates of the Catholic Home
Near Tarry torou, N. Y., Struggled
for Possession of the Deadly
firowth Ten of Them Survive
After Violent Convulsions.
By the unfortunate eating of a poisonous
root, which they thought was sweet flag
root, five littie bovs in the Roman Catholic
Sisters' House of Mercy, about a mile back
of Tarrytown, N. Y.. were killed and half a
dozen more were male critically ill.
The names of the dead are : Richard
Powers and John Donnelly, twelve years
old, and James Forrestal, John Callahan and
Thomas Pasmore, ten vears old.
These boys were in a company of fifteen
or twenty who went out for play in tho
fields. While watching some laborers dig
ging a trench for draining purposes, young
Donnelly saw what he suppose i was some
sweet flag root and told the other boys of it.
They till began eating of it and enjoyed
t heir feast. A couple of hours later all the
boys wno had eaten of the root were taken
ill with violent pains about the heart. This
wholesale illness greatly alarmed the Sisters
iu charge, and they sent in haste to the vil
age for all the doctors they could And.
The physicians saw at once that tho boys
must have swallowed some kind of poison,
and antidotes were given without delay.
Some of the boys were affected in a much
gre er degree than the others by the poison,
and tho doctors devoted their greatest ener
gies to saving these.
Tho boys, according to tho physicians,
could not have swallowed the poison long
before the antidotes were administered. One
of the physicians, after examiningthe matter
vomited by the boys, said that he thought
the3 must have eaten a vegetable known as
slag root. The doctors remained at the
Home all night, working to save the lives oi
! iie boys.
The live boys fatally poisoned died within
a short time of each other. The other boys
were soon out of danger.
One of the lads said the finding of the
root was accidental. As soon as the finder
tasted it he shout h! : "Here's something
fine, boys flag roc- "
Then they all male a rush for it, and tho
fact that there as not sufficient to go around
is the only reason why all were not killed.
Those wbo died ate greedily of it.
It was not more than an hour after the
finding of the first root when tho boys who
had eaten the most of the roots became very
sick. The Sisters at once began to give what
simple remedies they could think of to re
lieve the boys, but soon saw that it would be
necessary to send for the physicians.
Coroner Apgar, of Peekskill. was notified of
the death of t he boys, and at once impanelled
a jury in order to hold an inquest. Hi
directed that an autopsy be made upon the
boiy of each of the boys.
Tiie autopsy showed that they died from
paralysis of tho heart. Powers, Donneliy,
and Pasmore were orphans. Tne fathers ot
Callahan and Forrestal live in New York.
The Mother Superior directed that the boys
be buried at the expense of the institution.
One of the doctors who examined the root
thought it was a species of "slag" root.
THE NATIONAL GAME.
Boston released Catcher Merritt.
Meek in is New York's star pitcher.
Pittsbtjbo has ihe baseball fever very
badly.
HcTCHrssos Is leading the Chicago Club
In batting.
Doyle is hitting the ball harder than any
Other New York player.
St. Lotus has gone wild over Breiten
Btein's work as a pitcher.
The Philadelphias have had harder luck
than any other team on account on rain.
In his first fifteen games Turner, of the
Philadelphias, had a batting per centage of
.456.
Baltimobe is entitled to the first triplo
play made in an 1894 League championship
game.
Ward, of the New Yorks, has struck out
but once this season. Last year he fanned
but three times.
The accident to Pitcher Weyhing, of the
Philadelphias, is likely to keep him off the
field for some time.
Shortstop Geobqe Sxith, of the Clncin
natis, has played in fourteen consecutive
games without an error.
The Bostons have but one really reliable
Eitcher, Nichols. Lovett has done well, but
e is pitching in great luck.
With half a dozen of the Chicagos stand
ing over six feet in their stockings, it is a
misnomer to call them the "colts."
Hoy has made a hit with Cincinnati. The
newspapers declare that the deaf mute is the
only outfielder who plays his position prop
erly. Bostojtian'S have never C9ased to regret
the-release, two years ago, of Outfielder
Brodie, who is doing such splendid work for
Baltimore.
The Chicago Club has tried fifteen men at
second base in two years. Each of these
men cost a3 an experiment from $400 to
$500. The grand loss ia this respect alone
is $7500.
Muixane, of Baltimore, is distinguishing
himself. He was the first pitcher in the
League this season to hold a team down to
one hit and also holds the strike-out record
of the season to date eight.
The ablest strategic pitcher in the Leaguo
this season is pitching the game of his life
this season, and that player is John Clark
son, of Cleveland. The "cyclone" class of
pitchers are nowhere in comparison.
In fielding, up to date, Zimmer lead3 the
League catchers, Tucker the first basemen,
Bonner the second basemen, Nash the third
basemen, George Smith the short stops,
Kelly the left fielders, O'Connor the centre
fielders and Dugan the right fielders.
Or the seventy-four pitchers in the League
twelve are left-handed, nine made their
debut in the big League this season, thir
teen during last season, and only eleven
were in the major organization before 1890.
The stars of the old association number four
teen. Bad throws are very costly on the new
Cincinnati grounds. If a ball gets by the
first Daseman there is nothing to stop it in
side of 100 feet, and even then chances must
be taken of its caroming off on an angle.
Base-runners can take two or throe bases in
tueh cases.
The work of Baltimore's young pitchw,
Brown, is the surprise of the year. He is a
green boy taken off the lots around Balti
more, without even any experience with a
first-class amateur club, much less with a
semi-professional or minor League team.
He knows very little about baseball, but he
has a steel-ribbed left arm.
Anson's team may not be very high In the
race, but his own personal triumph is over
whelming, say3 Sporting Life. He has de
monstrated that without him at first base his
club is like a ship in a storm at sea without
a rudder. It fflll probably be a long time
before the Chicago papers set up another
howl for him to "get out of the game."

Then Carl Seeger and His Wife Took
Their Own Lives.
Carl Seeger, his wife and their four chil
dren were all found dead ia thoir homo at
Berlin, Germany.
Seeger was a master painter, and at one
time was well-to-do, but has been unable to
collect money due him for work and became
despondent. Mrs. Seeger was greatly cast
down by her husband's financial embarrass
ment, and, judging from the evidence in the
hands of the police, the couple determined to
kill their four children, nineteen, thirteen,
ten and seven years old, and then commit
suicide.
Procuring some cyanide of potassium the
parents placed the poison in tho food of the
two older children, from the effects of which
they died in a short time, though the eldest
son apparently made a desperate struggle
before death relieved him of his agony. The
other two children, one a girl, were, for
some unexplained reason, hanged by their
parents.
After killing the children it is supposed
that Seeger gave some of the poison to his
wife, and immediately after she swallowed
it placed a rope about her neck and strangle 1
her.
Then Seeger made preparations for killing
himself. Taking the ropo with which he
had strangled his wife, be placed the end
with the noose arouDd his neck, facteued thi
other end to a door-knob, and, with the aid
of a chair, passed the middle of the rope
over the top of the door. Wheu he had
done this he kicked the chair from, under
him and strangled.

During the month of May the Treasury
pnstiiined iv net loss in gold for export pur
poses of $22,000,000. The movement still
continues, nearly wiping out all of the gold
received by the bond Issue of last January.
Whi'e tho Treasury is losing gold by expert,
it is c'so losing it in Boston. Philadelphia mil
New York by withdrawals in ordinary busi
ness transactions. The gold is finding its
way into the banks. In most of the
cities of the West the Treasury is daily gain
ing gold in exchange for legal tender, one
day receiving $400,000 in St. LouU for
United States notes delivered in New York
to the bank's credit. Gold received for cus
toms dues at New York during May amount ed
to only 2.3 percent., against twenty-eight
per cent, six months .ago.
The falling off of or linary revenues i-
causing more uneasiness In Treasury crelcs
than the decline of the gold reserve. The re
ceipts for the eleven mont hs of the current
fiscal year are $s l.dOfl.OeO less than for
the eleven months of the previous lis mI
year. A saving of $13,000,000 in ex
penditures over the corresponding perio 1
of 1892-3 brings di-wn the differ
ence in round figures to $72,000,000, be
ing the excess of expenditures ovr r ipts
for the eleven months of this year The
greatest fading off is shown in customs,
which have declined $66. 000. 000. Internal
revenue also fell off 1 4,000,000. The great
est r 'trenchmeut of expen littires is shown
in pensions, a saving of $17, 030. 000 having
been effected in this item. Civil and mis
cellaneous expenditures show a decrease of
$4,090,000.
The stated Treasury balance is $117,010,
f.00;ou January 1 it was $99,0)0,003. O.a
January 1, however, the Treasury was ie.
dueed to a working currency balance of only
$9,000,000, the rest being sold and now the
Treasury has a working currency balance ot
$42,000,000. The Treasury situation, there
fore, is considered more favorable now, even
with less gold than it held in January, than
at the beginning of the calendar year, as it i
currency balance is four times greater thai
it was then.

children were Willie anl Jirnmbi Ktojk, sons
of Frederick Stock. Together they went to
bathe iu the Con'-stogt Creek, about 6
o'clock p. m. Neither of the lads could
swim, so they kept close to the shore, pad
dling about in glee. Soon Jimmie, the young,
er, ventured out a little and quickly got
beyond his depth. He shrieked for help.
Willie went bravely to the rescue. He seize 1
h dd of Jimmy, and then the boys struggled
to get back to shallow water.
"Hold fast to me, Jimmy. I'll save yoo ,
wo 11 te all right," gasped the older lad,
while the water was nearly rising over them.
It was no use, and in a few minutes the two,
locked in each other s embrace, went down
before the gaze of several young compan

shore. The bodies were recovered.
