'THE 'PITTSBURG'
.
DISP&TCH, SATURDAY,- DECEMBER '" 27, 1890.
Ion, sort, tronianisli locks, and a beard
vbich fell down to his knees. Here and
there a silver thread glistened among the
l.rowu, and the hand which supported the
drooping head was lone, thiu and almost
horrible to look upon. Nobody, cazlng on
this human wreck could have believed him
to be asleep, and before him on the table lay
several sheets of paper covered with writ
ing. 'Toor wretch," the banker thought, "he
sleeps, and, no doubt, dreams of the millions
he will possess to-morrow. Yet, when I
throw this fragment or humanity
on the bed, and smother It with a pillow, no
physician on earth could find nut that he
did not die a natural death. Still, let me
read what he has written."
The banker took the well arranged manu
script from the table and read as follows:
"To-morrow at nnon the time of rcv voluntary
imprisonment expires, and I shall be free to
Co nd communicate with the outer world
again. Before I leave this room and see the
light of heaven, I hold it necessary to tell
you what I feel. On my conscience and in
I Joy belie! in God Almighty, who witnesses
this my confession, I s-vear that I despise
freedom, despise wealth, lite, health, knowl
! edge aud everything and all which the books
consider as mankind's joy and treasure! "For
I 15 years I havccareluliystudiedhumanlife.
! It is true, I know nothing by personal cx-
jicrience, have seen nothing of the world
i outside of this room; nothing of man
i lor 13 years. Bat 1 have studied
' books, and in tbem I have eiperi-
I euced aud I have lived the life and ex-
perience of thousands and centuries. In
them I have sung songs with the poets,
rambled in woods and forests, and chased
the elk and the wild boar. And I loved
jjoman! "Women sprunk out of the in
! genious brain of the poet chaste and pure,
lovely and noble. She has visited my lonely
chamber at night, and whispered soft and
intoxicating love talis in my ears, until my
heart turned sick aud my head dizzy. I
I despise womankind! In bonks 1 have
I climbed the summit of Elboorz and Mont
Blanc, and watched the sun rise and set and
I bathe the heavens the seas, and the mount
ains in purnle and cold! I have taken wing
1 with the cigle and looked on green fields
1 and pastures and on rivers aud lakes; I
have seen small villages and giant towns
and I hate listened to the waves in storm,
and seen the outbreak of Vesuvius; art and
science, splendor and greatness, have been
equally revealed to me, and I despise them
all! 1 have met with fearful dance's and
struggles in books: I have fought battles,
burned cities killed kings a"l reigned
supreme over their subjects and despised
them .ill ! In books I have found sagacity
and Wjsdom, scieoce and knowledge, and
what the scholarship of the world bad
hoarded up through arjes andcentnries
it is all crammed in a little corner
of my head, and I know that I am
wiser than you all ! 1 desDise your books,
worldly goods, sense and prudence. All
this is "idle aud evanescent, and nothing re
mains but death; that cancels all. The
haughty and the beautiful, the ingenious
and the heroic all are lood lor the worms,
and vour works, which you nip.mt to create
fureternitv, will perish witn you, and shall
be frozen or burned with the globe you call
the world, and with the illusions you have
believed to be immortal truths. And lor a
vroor ot the sincerity of this, my conviction,
I here declare that I give up all claims to
the two millions, due to me to-morrow at
noon! As I have voluntarily stayed in this
room so long, to show vou that I despise the
world, so shall I voluntarily forfeit the
wager, by escaping throush the window five
hours beiore my time of imprisonment ends.
I despise and throw away the money that I
have coveted so much, lor which my merce
nary greed made me keep the wager which
brought me the conviction of the jolly of all
carthiy things."
Large tears were dropping down the
banker's cheeks. He put the manuscript
back on the table, knelt down and kissed
the end of one of the long, soft locks of this
sace. Then he slowly rose, and, noiselessly
ns be had come, he left the room and slipped
back to his own apartments. There he lay
down on his bed and thanked God as he had
not done for years and slept as he had not
done for months.
2ext morning one of the .servants came
in, pale and agitated, relating how he had
seen the prisoner in the side wing jump out
oitbe window and hide himself iu the gar
den near to the porta!. The banker went
there at once, together with the keeper, to
satisfy himself of the truth of the statement.
The prisoner was gone, and the banker drew
a sigh of leliei. To avoid explanations and
the idle talk ol strangers, he bade the ser
vants keep their own counsel. The
written renunciation of the two
millions, which the prisoner had left
on the table, the banter took and locked up
in his sa c
One year had passed since this eventful
nip In a'ud day. Again the banker sat among
his guests, and again they were discussing
topics of general interest. They spoke of
human ambition, and the purpose and aim
of human exertion. As they were mostly
men of wealth, of course they spoke of
money as not essential to perfect happiness,
and not worth achieving.
"We are tauzht," said one of the gentle
men, "that true happiness is only lound in
real perfection. Now, among those men who,
either through genius or sanctity, have be
come famous, rich men have been as rare
as comets. This I think a proof that to
gain human perfection wealth is superflu
ous." "Quite so," said another; "it seems to be
impossible to worship the spirit and the
c!av at once. Poets and geniuses, in gen
eral, are mostly men of small means, and
absolutely disregard the superfluous things
which we are used to call the comforts of
2:1c. Stoical indifference, ascetic! absti
nence, are looked upon as the pinnacle of
greatness and perfection, and the Koinan
Catholic Church has made it an essential
part of her creed and the crowning glory of
her priests and saints."
Said a third: "In my opinion
there is nothing exalting, nothing praise
worthv. in abstinence. To disregard the
picture is to defy the artist. To despise
women, wine, music, a good table, a lux
urious .ionic, is to disavow their creator and
donator God."
"Spoken like a man of sense," said a
fouitb, a man who possessed countless mil
lions and was the greatest business rival of
the banker-host; "these ascetics look very
well in cburcb history, but in reality they
do not exist. There may be men who des-
, pise women, but you may be sure tliey are
either too old or otherwise deficient in in
spiring love; some affect to despise power
and fame, but I am certain they did their,
utmost to achieve them and failed; some
turn away from society and throw away life,
but only "because they know that life and
society would cast them out. I am a man
, upward of sixty, but I have never met with
the human being who, for the sake of an
idea, had refused to take a fortune, or given
1 up the possession of, let me say, for instance,
a million."
"And yet such a man exists," said the
host, musingly.
"Have yen seen such a one?"
"Yes."
"Impossible!"
"No, 1 assnre you. I know such a man,
who, for principle, has refused not one but
two millions."
"And I say again, impossible! You have
been deceived by some impostor."
"And if I prove it to yon!"
, "There can be no such proof, and I am
thoroughly convinced that no such man
exists. I am ready to stake as much as you
please, even millions, that you canuot give
such a proof."
"Will you say three millions?" the banker
asked.
"Yes, three millions! Gentlemen, you are
witnesses. I wager three millions the man
does not exist who has refused two millions
t when oflered to him. "When are we going
to get this proof?"
f "At once!" the banker said. He was re-
' joicing inwardly. "Why, the three millions
o were as good as in his pocket already,
aud it was a pity he had not proposed
" five instead of three. It would
have at once regained him bis posi
tion on 'chance, which during the
last few years had become a little doubtful.
Still 83,009,000 was:acceptable at present,
and to secure them he had nothing to do but
unlock his iron safe and take out the paper
which the poor prisoner had left on the
table when he had escaped. The .banker
took out-his keys, and was. proceeding to his
private room, when oue of the servants
entered and said:
"I beg your pardon, sir, but there is a
gentleman "in the hull who wishes to speak
to you atonce."
He excused himself to his guests and went
out. In the ante-chamber he was tnet by a
pale but handsome man, of decent appear
ance, who seized both his hands and ex
claimed with agitation:
"Pardon, sir; oh, pardon!"
"I really do not know you. sir," said the
banker, drawing back a little; "have you
done aught to injure me, that you ask my
pardon? AVho are you?"
"I am that unhappy fool who hazarded 15
years of his life lor a prize, and when it was
at his command, rejected it in contempt"
.The banker caught hold of a chair and
sank into it. "What can I do lor you?"
asked he, breathlessly, and turning deadly
pale.
"Oh, sir! I have made a terrible mistake,
and here, on my knees, I revoke every word
ot that foolish statement, thatt left behind'
me. Let no one judge of a thing he does
not know by experience! What does the
man born blind know ot color? or the beg
gar the value of a precious diamond? What
did I, a mere school-boy and prisoner, know
of life, beauty and pleasure, when I never
had enjoyed it? I was misled by books,
because I thought them to be lite it sell,
when they were only shadows pale, color
less pictures of the glorious reality. Yet, the
world is beautiful, the air delicious, and
love is sweet. What I hare said
was said in ignorance, and here, on
my knees, 1 beg you to pardon me
the unintentional deceit. I do not ask for
the two millions, I have forfeited them vol
untarily and legally; I am not entitled to
anything; but I have an undoubted claim
on your generosity, and I have come to beg
for a paltry hundred thousand, that I may
be able to marry the woman I love. Give
it to me, or I will kill myself, and surely,
you will not let me die lor the want of a
bare pittance, when I freely presented you
with so hard-earned a fortune!"
"Get up," the banker said hoarsely; "go
home. To-morrow you shall have what you
desire. Go!"
The man went away, and the banker, like
a man walking in a dream, slowly aroteand
giddily turned around to return to his guests.
It was all over. The proof was proof no
more; this wretch revoked it. It was worth
less, and now it was infallibly his, the bank
er's turn, to give up everything. Yes, and
he would do it He would give them all an
example of magnanimity, and show them how
a man used to splendor and great
ness could reject these three millions and
yet give the required proof, by not only
givinr a hundred thousand to this man, but
actually donating all he possessed to the
poor; and alter civing up wealth and posi
tion, love and fame, business and power, he
would give up li.e itseU, by retiring irom
the world into some brotherhood. He be
came quite enthusiastic over it, but as he
entered his brilliantly lighted diniug-room
the thought struck him that his magnanim
ity would not be appreciatsd, because he was
compelled to the sacrifice by dire neces
sity, and as his debts were larger than his
possessions, the right of disposing ot the
latter was in reality not his. He avoided
the eve of bis antagonist, and, faintly sink
ing into a chair, exclaimed:
"Gentlemen! The proof is worthless. You
are right such a man does not exist. Here
are my keys I am ruined!" Translated
from the Jiussian for the Argonaut.
HE WAS 3L0WH OUT OF SIGHT.
Two Men Killed and Several Injnred by a
Boiler Explosion.
XEtvpOKT, Abk., Dec. 26. By the ex
plosion of a boiler in Kelly & Wells' lum
ber mills on Black river, 40 miles from here,
two persons were killed and a number
wounded.
Engineer Wiley Sloan and John Angus,
the Superintendent, were standing in front
of the boiler when the explosion took place.
Angus was blown against a1 lumber heap,
breakinc his limbs nnd tearing away a por
tion of his skull. No trace of the "body of
Sloan, the engineer, can be found. A large
section of the yboiler was shot through the
iron roof, then through thetexas deck of the
steamer Golden Gate, anchored near by. and
then across the river, 100 yards wide. Maud
West was frightlullv scalded and William
Durgens had both legs broken in several
places and was badly scalded. Pour others
were injured but not dangerously.
F0BCED TO QUIT BUSINESS.
A Masonic Aid Association Ordered Oat or
Canada.
Toronto, Oxt., Dec 26. The North
western Masonic Aid Association, whose
headquarters is at Chicago, has in force in
Canada over $2,000,000 of insurance among
the Masons. It has been doing purely a
Masonic business in Canada, but it is com
ing to the knowledge of the Dominion Gov
ernment that the association was accepting
non-Masons as risks in the United States. It
was notiutd to quit business in Canada or
put up the statutory 53,000,000 deposits at
Ottawa. The latter it could not do, so it has
been peremptorily ordered to withdraw from
Canada.
It is said that after its withdrawal from
Canada the company can snap its fingers at
Canadian patrons who have paid many
thousand dollars in assessments.

CITY AND COUNTY FUNDS INVOLVED.
A Disastrous Bank Suspension In Dakota,
Caused by Poor Business.
Wooxsocket, S. D., Dec 26. The San
born County Bank, run by L. L. Stevens,
closed its doors this morning. The County
Treasurer had $8,000 of the county's money
in the bank, and a numberof merchants are
caught
Stevens has made an assignment to George
W. Corkingf, a former partner. Stevens
was City Treasurer, and closed down on
5300 of the city funds. There was no run
on the bank, and the reasons given for the
suspension were poor business and slow col
lections. Stevens was Secretary of the Re
publican County Committee and'stood high.
A C0L0BED VAN'S THRIFT.
He Preys Upon the Prejudices of Ills Aris
tocratic 'White Neighbors.
Atjboba, III., Dec. 2G. Tom Cooper, a
colored citizen, owned a little market gar
den and house adjoining the city. A few
weeks ago some of the boomers desired to
plot the land in that vicinity, aud, objecting
to a colored population, gave $8,000 for
Cooper's property.
He then bought a house and lot on Penn
sylvania avenue, whereupon his aristocratic
neighbors immediately clubbed together aud
bought him out The enterprising colored
man has since bought his old house and four
lots of the plotted property, and will realize
handsomely on the venture.

PASTOll AND PEOPLE.
The Increasing Popularity of the
Christmas Festival.
IN SPITE OF ALL TUB' OPPOSITION
The Advent of Christ Das Won' Its Way to
the Popular Heart.
GLEANINGS FK0M CHURCH FIELDS
The attitude of tho Protestant churches
toward the Christmas festival has wonder
fully changed iu the past generation in this
section of the United States, as evidenced by
the genrral observance of the day Dy
churches and people. The first settlers of
Western Pennsylvania were stalwart Pres
byterians, who were adverse to everything
that savored of Catholicism. Christmas
was regarded by the pioneers as a popish in
stitution, and the common estimate of the
day was that it was more honored in
the breach than in the observance.
The writer, who thinks he is not
very old yet, can well remember when he
was rebuked by old people s because of a de
sire to celebrate Christmas. New Tear's
was Pittsburg's popular holiday a genera
tion ago. In spite of Scotch-Irish Presby
terianism and Puritanism, tho Christmas
festival has won its way, and is now the
great lestal day of Christendom.
The most rigid sticklers for the good old
ways have been forced to surrender to the
reign of Santa Clan. "Jew and Gentile
alike pay homage to Him who is' brightest
and best of the sons of the morning.
Never before in the history of our city was
the Christmas festival more generally ob
served by churches and people than this
year.
A few old-fashioned peojjle still taboo
this festival, but it is only' a question of
time when Christmas will become the uni
versally popular festal day of all lands
where Christian civilization holds sway.
At union preachers' meeting next Mon
day, at 10 o'clock, iu Y. Mr-C. A. building,
Ee'v. C. E. Locke will read a paper on
"Christianity aud the Social Evil."

able to Buy Bread.
Mr, Slarr, of Stanton avenue, called at
the office of the Anti-Cruelty Society yes
terday and asked that Mr. and Mrs. Syler,
who live on Stanton avenue, near Butler
street, be given aid. The wife is over 60
and unable to work, and the husband is in
the eighties. They are in destitute circum
stances. . For some vears Mrs. Syler manatred tn
''provide for" herself and husband by telling
lortunes. .bast lan. nowerer, sne was ar
rested, and that source of revenue cut off by
the police. She still occasionally unrolls
the scroll Qf the future, but the interference
of the police has frightened almost every
body away, and now she cannot make
enough as a seer to buy her daily bread.
She can do nothing else and an attempt will
be made to place the old couple in one of the
charitable homes.

months', outside this citadel, and do its best to break in and destroy. Is this
citadel garrisoned and provisioned ? The garrison is your constitution.- Is it
vigorous or depleted?- How. long can it fight without help? Have you made
provision for the garrison by furnishing a supply of SCOTT'S EMULSION

It restores the flagging energies, increases the resisting powers against disease;
cures Consumption, Scrofula, General Debility, and all Anaemic and Wasting
