Dr. Buckley Gives a Definition Success in Life and Tells How to Win It.: Of THE EIGHT KIND OF INDEPENDENCE A Mighty Force Capable of Much Good to Indiriduals as Well as to the World at Large. COLONEL HIGGINSON ON HISTORY. Bis L'Ctnre Irfsj of an Attraction to lbs Multitude Than the Tableaux. rsrxcni. tsxiobah to thi dispatch.! Lake Chatttapqua, August 8. The crowd of barbarian spectators in the very height of their excitement over the furious chariot race of Ben Hur and Messala could not have been wilder than the mass of humanity which tried to crowd into the Amphitheater this evening, to see the "Ben Hur" tableaux. Pious ministers, dignified professors and modest girls made a scramble for their seals that could not have been exceeded by the most enthusiastic college "caue rush." The management have decided that at the close of the first half of the entertainment all those seated shall vacate in favor of those who are trying to balance themselves on boxes or chair bacEs or to swing after the manner of a cir cus athlete from the branches of the trees. But the old-time Cbautauquans do not like this idea, for they think that when they come at 4 o'clock, bring their sappers and wait until 8, tbeir rights to a place through out the full tableaux should remain in violate. HIGGIJTS01T ON HISTORY. It is rather of a severe reflection on those who claim Chautauqua as bavin? the finest literary appreciation that so splendid a man ns Thomas Wentworth Higginson should have 2,000 hearers, while five times that many are present at the per ormance of spectacular tableaux. His lectures, how ever, have drawn the very cream of the people, and their only wish is that the genial Colonel and able literary seer of Cambridge will again return to delight them. His last talk was on "How to Study History:" "It has always seemed to me," he said, "credita ble on the whole to the brains we have transmitted to our children that they dis like the study or history, as it is commonly prevented to them. I think the disiike does them credit, and we certainly cannot com plain, because in most cases the dislike has been hereditary, whether the brains have been or not. The father and mother are generally very faithful in urging the study of history upon tbeir children. "The father brines home from the town library the first volume of the history of the United States and says to his son: 'Here, ray son, is the first volume of the history of your couutry. I wish you would read" it, and when you are through with this there are nine more volumes just lite it.' Then the father turns to his newspaper and the mother takes up her volume of 'Ben Hur' for her thirly-fiith perusal, with a feeling of entire satisfaction that they have done their duty to their son and heir and to historical science. MISTAKES VS TEACHING. "There is too much of a tendency to cram into the head of the child a lot of facts which you cannot easily learn and remem ber, and much less can he. We know of school teachers who make a dozen columns on a sheet of foolscap and thereon place im portant dates to be learned in rotation by the student. One object sbonld be to make it interesting, in the same way that we make fiction interesting. Build up stories and facts about certain events." Mr. Higginson closed his talk by a very beautiful allusion to his thoughts as he stood upon the battlefield of Gettysburg. How he imagined that gallant charge of Pickett's splendid soldiery into the very jaws ot death. Too often in our celebra tions ot the valorous deeds of our heroes we forget the bravery of those who opposed them in stubborn contest. If such bravery as this is manifested in the cause of error when right shall be at stake we do not fear for the welfare of our repnblic Dr. Buckley, editor of the New York CJlrwffan Jtdvocate, spote on "The Pre ventable Causes and TJnpreventable Causes of Failure." His principal talk was on the first-named adjective. The doctor is very bright and argumentative and has a gener ous vocabulary. He seemed of the opinion, however, that every one conld succeed. "America is truly a great country, but, for all ot that, there are.a great many fail ures in our land. It would be hardly pos sible to go into an analytical classification of the preventable and unpreventable causes ot failure. Failures are found in almost every family. TBACTICE AND THEOET. "There are a great many lectures upon 'How to Succeed,' and the best one I ever heard was from a man who had failed in everything else but that lecture. What is it to fail in life? If a man went to one town and was harassed by the officers of the law to another and was mobbed and to still an . other, was thrown into prison, and finally capitally executed, you would say that that man was a failure. But St. Paul did this, and he was a great character. Oliver Wen dell .Holmes went to England and was re ceived with high favor, but John L. Sulli van created a much greater sensation. "When I was in Europe I had hard work to find the grave of George Ehot, but the crowd easily led the way to the grave of the English pugilist, Tom Bayers. I am not going to be grandiloquent, but I shall get down to hard-pan. common sense. When is a man a failure? When he cannot take care of himself; when every thing he takes hold of fails; when he "is weary of life. Some people are naturally too weak to live. They are neither self-reli-nnt nor self-supporting. The men is self supporting who can take care of himself wben he is directed, and the self-reliant man is he who both directs and supports himself. There are more of the unenergetic class of people, as civilisation advances, and they marry young, and one of the same kind as themselves. They have not enough energy to live. In the savage race they usually die before maturity. AXGT1IEB CLASS OF X.AZIKESS is that of no mental energy. They are the peripatetic critics of every congregation. We find men with great memories, but no recollections. There is another preventable cause of failure, and that is poor health, which so many assume. Nine-tenths of the cases of sickness are oreventable. There is a great deal In regularity. Some men get regularity by continual practice of irregu larity. Too many people give up at any jiiue ailment ana tben die, and such people oughtto die. The average man, who'is breaking down, breaks down voluntarily. "Two women beam on me every time tbev Bee me. They sent for me once to pray with them, but I told them they were practically fools, and they got up their energy and got well. There are a great many young men who do not get an underpinning.. Wben Daniel Webster first entered the law a man gave him ?50 to take hold of a complicated case. He look all of the money to buy books, and worked many days upon the suit end won it. Thirty years alter he received 51,500 frpm a large corporation for writing sn opinion based upon the same facts, which took him only four hours. He made an un derpinning. Presumption kills men some times, but despair oftener. The centripetal and centrifugal forces should be united. The impulsive man sbonld cool himself, and the sluggish man shonld develop more energy. Be not too independent, be not too dependent, and thereby abuse your friends, Popularity is a vapor. The multitude that applauds to-day will boot to-morrow. "If we want to succeed we should eon- slder that we are here and be prepared to advance with unfaltering hearts and foot step. Don't give up your boys under any circumstance. A mother satd to me, 'My boy swears.' 'Madam,' said I, "it is only the blowing off of surplus energy. J-' Ju have self-conceit you are weak; If you do not have self-esteem, acquire it" hospitality appbeciated. A Tallied Token From the Venerable Mother of Minister Held. Washington C. H., O., August 8. Mr. John Orr, of this city, came into pos session, the past week, of a peculiar and valuable memento a quilt constructed of 1,238 pieces. There are 16 squares in the quilt, which comprise 976 pieces. It Is not only a curiosity, owing to the great amount of labor spent in making it, but it is really a pretty piece of needlework. That, how ever, which renders the quilt of such value to air. Orr is the fact thstJIrs. Beid, mother of Whitelaw Beid. the United States Min ister to France, not only made the quilt, but presented it to Mr. Orr as a token of her appreciation for kindness shown herself and husband, Dr. Beid, then living at Cedar ville, Greene county, O., while on their way to visit Dr. Reid'a brother, near Green field, O. It seems that Dr. Beid's vehicle, when approaching Greenfield, was stopped by the mud, and the two travelers were compelled to call upon Mr. Orr to lodge them for the night. Mr. Orr was keeping store at the time about four miles north of Greenfield. He made the unfortunate travelers welcome at his home, and, though he refused on the following morning to take anything for bis generosity, the widow of Dr. Eeid has never forgottcn'the matter, and in her 86th year she sends a handsome quilt by Mrs. Jack son, of Greenfield, who had been visiting her parents at Cedarville, to Mr. Orr with her regards. There is something rather pleasing and novel in the affair, surely. Dr. Beid has long since passed away, while Mr. Orr's wife has died and be is married a second time. The quilt presented by Mrs. Beid to Mr. Orr was all made by Mrs. Beid herself during the last few months, and is a remarkable piece of workmanship for such an old lady. BLAINE'S OPimOH OF BEED. The Secretary Declnrra That Ho and the Speaker Are Ibe Rrar of Friend.. Boston, Mass., August 8. Mr. Blaine was seen as he was about to leave tor his home in Augusta. He said that while he was unable to speak upon the subject of his recent visit to the President, still he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to re fnte two things which the opposition press had recently made much of, viz.: Coldness between the President and Mr. Seed and himself. Said he: ''The President and I are on the best of terms, and instead of there being any riv alry between Mr. Beed and myself, we are the best of friends. I have watched his growth with pride. He is an able and au dacious man, and as a Bepnblican I am with him heart and soul. If he should be nominated for the Presidency in 1892 1 would eagerly suppon him. He, like me, is for protection ot American labor, and when the party forsakes the working people it is lost." A BOYCOTT DECLABED. The Antl-Loiterj Convention Pot Attention to Crrialn Newspapers.

Fig Iron Quiet, bat Steel Sails Soon to be Advanced In Trice. DEPEESSI0N IN THE WOOL TRADE rsrXCUIi TZXaOBAX CO TUX StSrATCB.! jNew York, August a Special tele grams to Sraditreet't corroborate late favor able crop reports from the South and South west, and the rather unfavorable grain re ports from the West and Northwest South ern merchants at interiordistributing points are ordering with considerable freedom, owing to the size of the yields of cotton, rice and other products. In California wheat Is threshing out better than was ex pected, and ij is predicted that, connting 7,900,000 bushels of wheat carried over, the State will have 33,000,000 bushels for export this cereal year. In Nebraska there has been a little improvement in the crop situa tion, but rain is still much needed. On tbe firmer tone of the money market, with some manipulation of rates and with tbe aid of reports of damage to the corn crop, the New York stock market was de pressed and unsettled. Prices recovered slightly at the close of the week, though stock speculation continues dull and unin teresting. The wheat markets havo been more bullish an crop damage reports, and prices are up 3c Indian corn has been likewise affected, and gained 3o per bushel, and oats, out ot sympathy, are 6o higher. LESS WHEAT EXPORTED. Exports of wheat, both coasts, (and flour as wheat) equal 2,166,263 bushels this week against 2,272,858 bushels last week, and against 2,056.000.bushels in the" like week of August, 1889. Cable dispatches to Brad street's show that the world's wheat stocks decreased 383.000 bushels during July, 1890, while in 1889 they increased 2,835,000 bushels. Grand totals of wheat stocks (in bushels) here, afloat and in Europe on dates given below this year and last, were as follows: 1890 January 1, 115.022,000; April 1, 90,845,000; July 1, 69,185,000; Au gust 1, 68,800,000. 1889, January 1. 130, 760,000; April 1. 99.382.000; July 1, 66,298. 000; August 1, 69,133,000. European afloat and American wheat stocks decreased during the seven months ended August 1, 1890, 46,290,000 bushels, as compared with a decrease of 61,627,000 bushels in a like portion of 1889. Stocks of American afloat and European available wheat were larger on the first of each month this year as compared with like dates of 1889 until June, on the first of which month, owing to increased stocks afloat, the world's available supplies were larger than on June 1, 1889, by nearly 3,000,000 bushels. The like was true again on July 1, but on Au gust 1, 1890, the total of these stocks is found to be 331,000 bushels smaller than on the like date last year. HIDES AND Z.EATHEB STB ON G. A feature of the week has been the buoy ancy of leather. Boot and shoe manufact urers have not thus far been able to secure a corresponding advance, though it is un likely that additional orders will be taken at former prices. Hides, too, are strong. Cattle and hogs continue to come forward at the West, the former being 5c per ewt higher than last week. In hog products there has been an active demand and firm prices. . Groceries and hardware staples have shown a moderate degree of activity. Mer cantile collections, are generally slow, ex cept at the South where little complaint is heard. Pig iron is unchanged in price, although a few makers report a better demand. Steel rail makers, after consultation, announce that prices will soon be advanced $11 50 per ton; that while new orders are not pressing, the mills are fairly busy. Sales to date are said to be 175,000 tons ahead of last year. Copper is unchanged in price, with continued tendency toward weakness. Bio coffee is o higher on good demand and light stocks. Speculation is irregular and prices show little change. Beficed sugar is l-16c lower. Drygoods are in in creased demand. Business failures reported to Bradstreet's number 151 in tbe United States this wees: against 131 last week and 173 this week last year. Canada had 25 this week against 28 last week. The total number of failures in the United States, January 1 to date, is 6,355 against 7,032 in a like portion of 1889. THE STOBY DUN TELLS. K. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of tbe trade says: Less favorable crop prospects, closer money markets and further delay in action on the tariff bill in tbe Senate have increased the uncertainty which retards business. In spite of a sharp advance in wheat, corn, oats, oil and coffee, the general average of prices for commodities is a shade lower than a week ago. The present state of trade throughout the country appears satisfactory for the season, and reports are almost nniformly confident in tone. Boston shows little present change, but belief in great activity in the fall. Wool is more freely bought Cotton goods move fairly, and the supension in print cloth works is having tbe desired effect Philadelphia notes no improvement in wool and scanty buying of cotton, lower prices beintr awaited. Chicago reports smaller receipts than last yeai of wheat, flour and corn, a heavy de crease in cheese, but a much larger move ment of cattle, and of hops, because of fear as to the corn crop. Wool receipts fallff o a third and hidus a quarter, while sales of drygoods and clothing are larger than last year, with prompt collections. BUSINESS IN THE tVEST. St Louis notes strong trade in nearly all lines, Kansas City a fair trade for the sea son, Omaha'and St Paul a good trade, and Milwaukee improvement At Minneapolis the lumber demand is good and flour strong er. At Detroit trade is eqnal to last year's, and at Cleveland satisfactory, excepting that lake freights are dull and depressed from oversupply of shipping. Glass and coal are inactive at Pittsburg, but Iron stronger. The crop outlook is on the whole less promising. The speculative news gatherers are making the most of the damage to wheat and corn. Wheat has risen Zy cents, with sales of 28,000,000 bushels; corn, 3 cents, with sales 'of 1,000,000 bushels, and oats, 5 cents, while pork, hogs and cotton are un changed. Iron ore and pig are inactive and weak at Cleveland, but in rather better demand at Pittsburg, where the demand for finished iron is excellent for the season. The same is true at Philadelphia. LOWEE PRICES FOE WOOL. A contradictory state of things is seen in wool and woolens. Trade is decidedly larger in the lower grades, but lower prices for wool and depression in the manufacture, especially of the all-wool and finer goods, in the belie? that delay of tbe tariff and the heavy imports will prevent improvement this year. The fall ot 20 per cent iu wool abroad threatens a great supply of cheaper- goods if the proposed change of duties fails, I so tnai prouueers nesitaie. j.oe copper mar ket is slow, with some lake sold at 17 cents. Tin and lead are dull. Tbe outlook depends largely upon the ex tent of injury to crops, the action of Con gress regarding duties, and the foreign com plications which affect the demand for gold. Domestic exports of prodncts continue small 'and imports very large. The business failures occurring through out the country during the last seren days number 208, as compared with 189 last week. For tbe corresponding week of last year the figures were 201. Walker's Wax Soap is the best 8112,4,6,6,7,8,9,11,13,14,15 .DISAGREES WITH BLAINE. A PROMINENT CANADIAN THINKS HIS BEHRINQ SEA POLICY UNTENABLE. Be Argues That This Government's Position Is at Variance With International Esjaltr Dominion Papers on Trade Relations. Ottawa, August 8. In an interview, Hon. William MacDougal, one of the best constitutional lawyers in the Dominion, gltes his opinion, of Mr. Blaine's position on the Behring Sea question, as set forth by official correspondence lately published. Mr. MacDougal says: "I think Mr. Blaine's contention as to the exclusive juris diction of the United States over the waters of Behring Sea, is utterly untena able. I assume that the position of the United States, as represented by the present administration, is fullystated by Mr. Blaine in his letter to Sir Julian Pauncefote of the 30th of June. I have read it carefully, and while I admit the good temper, lucidity of expression and tactical skill he displayed as a politician, I must, as a sometime stu dent of international law, protest against his premises, as well as his conclusion.' Mr. MacDougal deals at length with the pretensions which Bussia set up in Behring Sea, and cites authorities, including the great American writer, Chancellor Kent, to show that Mr. Blaine's contention is at variance with the universally accepted doc trine of nations. The Mail to-day, In a long editorial, says: "Secretary Windom's reply to Senator Cul loni's resolution of the 16th ultimo, is an intimation that the Treasury Department at Washington intends to deprive the Canadian Pacific Railway of the privilege which it now enjoys of forwarding oyer its line, in bond to points in the United States, merchandise brought by its steamers from Atlaatic ports. It would be silly to affect to regard with indifference the actions and intentions of our neighbors in respect to these matters. And we cannot be surprised at them. So Ions as we pursue a policy of commercial hostility toward the United States we have no good reason to be aston ished at nor complain of like treatment of ourselves by them. They have quite as much right to make themselves unpleasant as we have." The Globe says: "The fount and origin of the hostility oi Congress to the Canadian Pacific lies in our railway subsidy policy, which enables American railroads, built by private capital, to assert and believe that they are being assailed by a foreign gov ernment that has transformed itself into a huge transportation company; in friction generated by the -two fishery ques ioni, and in tbe estrangement which re striction of trade between two countries, with mutually hurtful tariffs, must always tend to prejudice. At a time like this an advocate of peace is usually stigmatised as a coward or traitor. Tbe Globe is quite willing to insure that reproach, if only it can "secure a hearing for so good a cause. Let our Govern ment, through that of Britain, go boldly to Washington and propose a settle ment of all issues in dispute, upon tbe basis of closer trade relations. If it tails, Canada will at least have the satisfaction of know ing that she has done her best to promote truer comity. Strong in that consciousness we could face in philosophic and patriotic spirit, worse than Mr. Windom or Congress could do." DESTROYED THE PLANT. Fire Wipes Oat of Existence a Wheel Works at Ft. Wayne. Ft. Wayne, August 8. At 7 o'clock this evening fire caught in the engine room of White's Wheel Works and from tbe in. flammable nature of tbe buildings and their contents, and remote location of tbe factory. 'was speedily beyond control. In an hour's time tbe entire plant, covering five acres of ground, equipped with costly machinery and surrounded with thousands of dollars' worth of material and stock, was in a bright blaze that illuminated the eastern wards or the city and attracted thousands of specta tors. With the exception of portions of the brick walls of the main building the de struction is complete. The works had been sold two months ago to the American Wheel Company of Chicago, which also purchased the K. G. Old's Wheel Works iu this city and wheel works in Indianapolis and Terre Haute. Jackson and Kalamazoo, Mich., and several other points.

He said in an interview that between hanging and electricity the death of Kemmler was the more successful. "The execution was n great success," he said, "as the official reports will show.

Bead the statements of all the doctors carefully, and you will see that the execution was successful.

Reports from this State to the Agricultural Board indicate a wheat yield of about 65 per cent of the average crop, and corn will matnre half a crop. The flat lands in the western part of the State will yield above the aver age corn crop if no more rain falls, while the southern part of the State has been drowned out, and the eastern and northern portions have suffered from drought and ex treme heat, causing the stalks to burn out at the roots.
