It Is extremely improbable that the young Kaiser "Wilhclm wilt make a speech upon the Newfoundland fishery dispute, but it way be stated without fear of contradiction that he is watching its progress with the keenest interest. Englishmen are only just beginning to realize what the continental kings and statesmen have long believed, that the question Is one of tbe greatest delicacy ind danger, and may require an Anglo i rench war before it can be straightened ut People here are amazed at the practically unprecedented spectacle of the British Gov ernment seeking to coerce a self-governing co! joy, and can scarcely beiieTe their ears when told bj the ministerial mouthpieces :l at the alternative of such coercion is war sooner or later with a great European power. It is certain that the lesser evil will be ac cepted, and If Newfoundlanders dream otherwise they are destined to a rude awak ening. Would Like France Crippled. It would suit the Triple Alliance very well for France to cripple herselt for gener ations as a result of a war, successful or un successful, with England, but Englishmen have no stomach for such a fight In support of the more or less preposterous claims of colonists, who, by popular belief, have no sonls above codfish and lobsters, and live- in e land or eternal fog. Among politicians tne opinion is general that, if necessary, Newfoundland must be ceerced into re spectincthc treaty rights of France, bnt it is felt that the demand of the colonists, for a hearing before judgment, is a reasonable one. Gladstone ana his colleagues share this feeling and if it be respected will support the Government on tbe general question. The Cabinet met to-day to discuss the matter, and after a sitting lasting over two hours, decided, it is understood, to grant a delay of a fortnight before proceeding turther with a coercion bill. The concession is more appar ent than real, asthcEaster Parliamentary re cess will last nearly two weks, but it will give the Newfoundlanders time to present their case and will satisfy a small sec tion who regard with apprehension any in terference by the Imperial Parliament in colonial affairs. fttbot Holds the Tramp. France, bavin? a hand full of trumps, is not expected to object to the delay, because Monsieur Bihot has caused to be conveyed in Her Majesty's Government an intimation trat however the present matter may end, 1 e will expect French treaty rights to be enforced, either by British or by French war snips. A prominent Newfoundlander a1 present in London has been doing his country's cause some harm by defending it i ! extravagantly intemperate letters to the i ewspaners. He has again rushed into print to-day, l concludes a farcically indigmnt pro tf -t in these words: "'What we poor col i.uists, French and English botb, in New foundland and St. Pierre do not or will not see, is that we are mere pawns in the European chess board, that neither of the chief plavers care about our vital interests. Their whole care is to play their game well." This colonist certainly has eyes capable o seeing beyond the colonial horizon, and t is curious, therefore, that his pen does not thow equal perspicacity. Newfoundland, beyond doubt, is being used as a mere pawn upon the European chess board. France, for instance, would cheerfully surrender her rihts to Newfoundland to-morrow if Eng land would agree to withdraw from Egypt, or perhaps if she would simply guarantee to preserve strict neutrality in the next Loropean war. COULDHT STAND THE SHAME. A Kantian Captain Blows Out His Drains After Bein; Slapped. fBT BCNLAr'S CABLS COMrAXT.l London, March 2L A private letter from St. Petersburg assert that the recent suicide of Captain von Kaufimaun had no connection with politics, as suggested. The facts are that Kanffmcnn and his friend, Count Tolstoi, who is no relative ol the novelist, entered a restaurant in a fashion it.le quarter, and found Naval Lieutenant jivoisciietzli there with a company of ii usicians, whom he had engaged lor his private amusement Kanffmann, who was drunk, made fun of the music and jeered at the musicians until Dvorschetiki, a man of gigantic stature, lost his temper and slapped the face of his superior officer. Tolstoi rnnaged to prevent a fight and subsequently eflccted a reconciliation. All the parties sgreed to preserve silence.

CONGRESS OF MINERS. AN IMPOETANT CONVENTION SOON TO BE HELD IN PABI& British Delegates HoM the Advantage and Will Defeat All Strike Proposals Eight-Hour and Other Questions to Be Voted on by the Body. IBT SUTTLAF'S CABLE COMPAHT.1 London, March 21. Unusual interest is manifested in tbe International Miners' Congress, which will be held on the Slst iust., and tbe three following days, in the hall of the Labor Exchange at Paris. Most European countries will be represented and delegates from America are said to be already on the way. Profiting by the ex perience gained at tho conference held at Jolimont last year, when Scotchman Hardie, with the assistance of the Belgian delegates, nttemptcd to rush through a resolution order ing an international strike for eight hours a day, the Organizing Committee, In which the British moderates secured control, ordered three months' notice should be given of the business to be brought forward at the yearly congress. As an additional safeguard against ex tremist tactics, it has also been decided that delegates .shall have only one vote per thousand miners represented. This was the more necessary, inasmuch as the committee ascertained that most of tho Belgian dele gates who voted to blithely for a universal strike came from districts in which not more than 1 miner in 20 belonged to the union. The business. of the congress will be virtu ally con fined' to five propositions, of which three have been prepared by the Belgians and two b j the Miners' Federation of Great Britain. The Belgian proposals deal first with the new constitution of an International Fed eration; second, with the general interna tional strike for eight hours a day of all miners employed either in State or private mines; third, with the attitude of the miners in different countries in case a dispute arises between the men and the employers bv any section adhering to the International Fed eration. The British platform has only two planks: First, tbe eight hours, question as referred to the various nationalities by the Jolimont Congress; second, the improved scheme of the International Federation. Under the new rules of voting the British delegates are sure to control the congress, and the strike proposals are foredoomed to overwhelming defeat It was hoped, by the way, that be ore the congress met the British House of Commons would have pronounced upon the principle of the legislative restric tion of working hours, the eight-hours bill for miners being upon the order book for next Wednesday. The House will adjourn for the Easter holidays on Monday or Tues dav, and months may elanse before the bill can a;ain obtain a favorable position for discussion. The Dock Laborers' and Seamen and Firemen's Unions are said to be losing men by desertion at a rate wbich, if maintained, will effectually cripnle them in the summer fight with the Shipping Federation. PARIS' NEW SENSATION. LIKE ALL PBEVIOira ONES, IT IS A MUBDEB MYSTERY. A Former Russian Officer on Trial for the Killing or a Wealthy Diamond Mer chant's Wife Ho Tells a Plausible Story of Suicide. " nT DinrLAr's cable coitrAirr.l PARIS, March 21. A case that promises to become prominent in the annals of even this city of mysterious crime, came up to day in tbe Cour d'Assizes. It is that of Felicien Bleszynski, a Pole, who is being tried for the murder of Mme. Wittorski. Bleszynski was once an officer in the P.us sian artillery, and afterward fought in the Franco-Prussian war in the French for eign legion. In 1S78 he landed at Havre after an extensive tour in America. At the Hotel Frascati there was staying at that time the wife of a wealthy Paris dia mond merchant named Wittorski. When Bleszvnski arose above the horizon of her life, bnndsonie and apparently wealthy, it was not long before she capitulated. The ex-soldur was ultimately called away by business affairs and for some years was unable to see much of his inamorata. Lat terly, however, he had been able to leave his home near Warsaw, and return to Mme. Wittorski, who soon discovered that her lover had become straitened In his financial affairs. She went one day in Jan uary last to the Paris hotel at which he was lodging and threatened that unless more money was forthcoming, sho would confess to her husband. At 4 o'clock the next morning the servants were awakened by the ringing of an electric bell in Bleszynski's room. On answering it, the waiter beard Mme. Wittorski say, through the closed door, that nothing was wanted. In a short time the bell rang again, and on the landlord going up, Bles zynski put his head out and made the same statement. The bell was then silent until 9 A. M., when the Pole rang, saying that he was shut in, and ask ing for a key, wbich was passed in under the door. As he still remained inside, the landlord, becoming alarmed, entered the room by another door, whereupon Bleszyn ski rushed downstairs, bleeding from a wound in the ear, into the street, where be was subsequently captured. Mme. Wittor ski was lying li eless near the bed in a pool ot blood, witn a bullet in her heart Bleszynski's story was that, having occa sion to leave flic lady alone for a lew mo ments, he was startled by hearing two shots. Bushing back he caught Mme. Wittorski just as she was falling ont of bed. Seeing that she was wounded he rang the bell for assistance, but before any one came he, in his despair, tried to blow out his brains.

THE CLITHEEOE DECISION. An Appeal to Be Made to the Honse of Lords In the Case. fBT CABLE TO TUX DISPATCH. 1 LONDON, March 21. The decision of the British Judges in the Clitheroe abduction case was unexpected. Hitherto the idea prevailed that the husband was justified in compelling his wife to live with him, provided he had not been "guilty of any of those transgressions in re spect to which tbe wife had legal remedy. Tbat has been knocked on the head, as well as the old-time axiom that the law up held the husband in inflicting reasonable chastisement upon the wife when she de served it Tbe jndges unanimously find that the husband has no right to imprison the wife; that she must have perfect freedom to see her friends, and that if she declines to live with him he must not use force to compel her. Further, he is distinctly warned that if he interferes with his wife'again he will be guilty of contempt of court, and be com mitted to prison. Accordingly tbe husband intends asking the House of Lords if this ruling is correct JTJSTIFTING THE LYNCHING. London Newspapers Outspoken in Con demning the Mafia. rar DtrsLAT's cable coxrAirr.i London, March 21. Tho lynchings at New Orleans made a profound sensation in Europe, but outside of Italy the condemna tion of the deed has been neither loud nor general. In Great Britain, where the critics are generally outspoken upon what they term American barbarisms, the newspapers have been singularly unanimous in excusing the slaughtering, on tbe gronnd that tbe bloodthirsty Mafia is out of all line with modern civilization and that the miscreants of New Orleans were bandits, who had mostly fled from their own country when it became too hot for their safety. In England the whole trouble is laid to the universal lack of confidence among Americans in their own judicial institutions. SEEKING A SOLUTION FOE THE WAT OUT OF THE KEYSTONE BANE DIxTICTJLTIEa.

PniLADEL phia, March 2L The Key stone National Bank is still closed. Bank Examiner W. P. Drew was about the first person to reach the institution this morning, and an hour later President G. W. Marsh arrived. The bookkeeper was called into the President's office, and for about 20 minutes tbe three persons were in consultation. When the conclave was ended Mr. Marsh was asked about tbe present condition of affairs. He said: "There has been no material change. We have been endeavoring to overcome the' present difficulty, and think that within a few days we will have good news for all parties concerned. "There are only two ways, however, of bringing about a resumption. One way is to obtain a sufficient advancement of fnnds from the stockholders to warrant the Comp troller in allowing tbe resumption. The other way is to realize on the bank's assets in order to reach the same result. My opinion is that it is fr belter to obtain additional fnnds from the stockholders. Four heavy stockholders have come forward and said they would stand by me in any course we might con scientiously choose to adopt in trying to bridge the difficulty.

THE LAST OF FAMOUS HOLLAND FACE rwKITTXK FOB TH2 DlifATCn.l Lieutenant E. M. G. Brown, of West Virginia, has been presented with a hand some gold-handlea sword by the Legisla ture of his native. State. This is the man who saved the United States flag ship Trenton at Sa. nioa during the dis- strous storm there a couple of years since. At the time the ship was drifting helpless ly on the reefs, with out sail or rudder, when Lieutenant Lieutenant Brown , Brown suddenly ordered all hands into the rigging, and the effect being that of sails, he was enabled to guide the vessel to a place of safety, thereby not only saving it but tbe 450 lives on board. Witnesses of the affair there were many, it having taken place in full view of the shore say it was a most thrilling sight At the time Brown had little hope of sav ing the vessel, but he determined to make a thorough effort and, if successful, to go down with all colors flying, so, while the men in the rigging chcored each other and those,that were left of tbe crew of the Vandalia, which lay nearby a total wreck, the flag-ship band was on the main-deck calmly playing "The Star-Spangled Banner." One can imagine the effect of such an incident on those tak ing part and tbe onlookers. When it was found that Brown's "trick" was a success and the vessel resting in comparitive security, the people on shore fairly hugged themselves with joy. Afterward Lieuten ant Brown was made a lion of everywhere, and the United States Navy Department officially complimented him, But lie is still a Lieutenant Eugenie's Beauty Is Faded. A correspondent of an Eastern newspaper tells in an interesting way the incidents of ex-Empress Eugenie's recent visit to Paris; how the people, who scarcely a generation ago fairly idolized ber, at first did not recog nize the woman and when they did, gath ered about her carriage in great numbers and would doubtless have done ber an in jury if tbe police had not interfered. Curiosity seemed to be the incentive of the crowd tbat first gathered about, but, when some of th'e older people arrived who re membered tbe fall of the empire, bitterness was manifested, one old man shaking his fist under her nose, inquiring why she had returned to the France she had mined by her extravagance. The writer goes on to say that in recent years, Engenie has changed wonderfully in appearance. She is physically so weak that sue requires two cruiones or canes amount in? to the same, to support her; ber face ii fvi m r -A M profile; retains some of tbe old form, but it isf spoilea oy a iwisiea ana sun&eu mourn, a ue once beautiful forehead has Inst its shape, and -Er-JImpreM Eugenie. From a photograph taken shortly after her marriage to Napoleon III. is now extravagantly narrow at the temples; tbe eyelids droop; tbe brows above tbe bridge of the nose are raised .high and then fall rapidly in the direction of the corners of the eyes. The nose has become mis shapen; the lower face has widened and tbe cheeks fall like pouches at either side. Taken all in all she has become positively ugly. This woman's fate his been hard indeed. From her position as Empress of one of the most powerful nations of earth; a proud, haughty monarch to whose wonderful beauty of person the whole world once boned tbe knee in homage, she has fallen to a condi tion without power, without friends, and now without tbe comeliness and intelligence, which, all other qualities failing, might have retained for her at least ihe interest of a few. In what different way all this reads in comparison with that ol 30 years ago. In Madame C.irette's "Recollections of tbe Court of the Tuilleries," we read ot the im pressions which Eugenie's beauty made npon the authoress when first they met at a ball in 1S58. This was nt the time when the Empress was in the "radiance ot her zlory and in the fresh prime of her youthful and exquisite beauty; adorned with all the gifts which nature and fortune could be stow, lavishly endowed with all tbe qualities which could ennoble a woman's soul." Bays Madame Carette: "From that moment everything' in the great hall sive one woman was a blank to me, the fete, the people, the beautiful illuminations all vanished, and remained completely en chanted as it under a spell; having eyes and ear3 foi no one yi the whole hall bnt tho Empress; who, standing out from 11 the rest, teemed to me an apparition of loveli ness." At that time the people of France were wild about- their Empress. They sought about them everywhere for means to do ber homage. Wheu she contemplated visiting a plice and the people learned of it, the wildest excitement prevailed; every one en deavoring to outdo the other in giving her a welcome. Now, she hardly dare set foot within the boundaries of that country, in fact, a stay of any considerable length would be extremely dangerous. Famous for Historical Associations.

A Striking Figure In Uteratare. Death, our dark-winged enemy, seems to be dividing its attentions between this country and France, during the past three months, and is conducting the cam paign with singular effectiveness, so far its famous victims are concerned. Fol lowing the a n nouncement of the deaths of Feuillet and Meissonier comes that of Theo dore ds Banville, who died suddenly De Banville. in Paris last week. De Banville's dramatio Works rank with those of any of his coun trymen and that is saying considerable. At the present time, Mr. Grein, a London man ager, is making arrangements to produce "Le Baiser," one of his plays in English. As a poet, he was considered one of the best of the century by the French people, tint ai none of his works have been well trans lated, English critics have not been able to judge him fairly.

Recent advices state that King Mulietoa is becoming somewhat feeble minded, while the exiled Tamasese and Mataafa are again becoming reitless, the former having already attempted to incite an uprising, aud the latter intimates that unless he is better provided for he will pool his issues with Tamasese and overthrow the present government It is not exactly certain that tbe natives are the only ones interested. They do not admit it, but it is nevertheless the general belief tbat Germany is hot after the little group of islands in the South Pacific, and once before espoused the cause ol Tamasese, in the hope of securinc some sort of control there; even going so far as to carry off tbe present King, Malieton, and banish him to an island several thousand miles away. As is well known now, the German ogeressions became at Inst so pronounced that American interests were endangered, and th,e offense may be repeated. Prince Victor and His Future. Whatever may have been the wishes of the dead Prince Napoleon, Victor, his son, is now the head of the honse founded by the little Corsi can. What the late Prince Imper ial and his friends tried to do death has done, and that is, name the eldest ouspnug oi "C-m rome heir to theO Bonapartist for-tj tnnes. It seems a little odd at first to account for the quarrel that took placebetween "Vic tor and his father, but all is made clear by a careful study of Jerome's character. While he was an ex ceptionally brilliant man in some respects, he was undoubtedly lacking in attractive qualities; though even more thoroughly im bued if possible with ambition than , the founder of the family. He declaimed against his relatives, though he always looked forward to the possibility of some time or other regaining the French throne through that very relationship, and went so fur at one time ai to attempt to establish his claims against those of Napoleon III.'s son. Failing in this, one can imagine the bitter nets of the pill when the Prince Imperial endeavored to pass him by, in favor of his son, in the naming of a successor. As far ascrfn be ascertained, Victor du tifully refrained from "accepting the tender, bnt this was not enough to satisfy the In jured father, who was no'donbtalso con siderably influenced by his opposition to the Papal authority, with which Victor,tbrough the influence ol his ultra religions mother, was to a great extent in sympathy. Time and. death, as usual, have in a measure straightened out the snarl, and it remains for the future to sav whether Victor's heir loom be an empty honor or not Wilkie.

City Departments and Business Houses Delayed In Their Work. A LITTLE COMMON SENSE IS WANTED There are as many cures or remedies for the grip us there are different phases of the disease. The grip has been a great thing for patent or new medicines. People who have a cold, or think they have the grip, rush at once to a drugstore and get medi cines, not, necessarily guaranteed by '.the. druggist, and try to cure themselves. "Aromatic spirits of ammonia, Gurana (a preparation of Peruvian bark), taken with anti-pyrine." This dose was recommended by a well-known pharmacist on Smithfield street, near Fifth avenne. Eight on the heels of it he said, "After all, it strikes me that if people would only stay at home and apply a little common sense, tbey could gen erally do without physician or druggist. The prescription that I have given above is, I think, a good one for people who are suf fering from what is known as the grip. It fills the bill. DTave to Watch Their Customers. "Now, we druggists have to be very care ful. There are lots of people who come in here and want anti-pyrine for a headache, or a bad cold in tbe head, with febrile symp toms. I confess that I have takeiAhe pre scription given above, and that It has done me a great deal of good. There are people who should not use the stronger medicines. It tbe heart is weak the greatest care should be exercised. Every new medicine seems to have a 'pull' upon those irho suffer. They rush to get it; we have to sell it "Again, there are people who, while they will not go to a physician, come to the drug gist, but they still have old-fashioned ideas, and safe ideas. They will ask for an old time remedy, and the long lines of patent medicine bottlea on the shelf do not phase them. Such as these come in and ask for quinine. Tbey get a dose and then leave, and probably they won't think of qninine again for several days. That, however, is no way to take quinine. It should be con tinued for several days. Intermittent doses won't do. Asa general, all round medicine for weather like this it has not its superior, but still, like all other things, it must be taken with judgment and with care. Quinine has been the drug most called for this win ter." gome of the Patent Medicines. One of the best-known druggists on Sixth street, in sneaking of some of tbe medicines called for by people who are suffering from tbe grip, said that he was very particular in endeavoring to find ont just what was tbe matter with those who wanted, for instance, anti-pyrine. "As a matter of fact," said he, "anti pyrine is something that sbould not go from a druggist nnless he thoroughly understood jnst what was tbe matter with the bnyer. I am told frequently that I am rather old fashioned in my ideas about such things, bnt be tbat as it may, I still prefer to be on the safe side. I sell anti-pyrine, but tbe persons who wants to buy it must tell me what they want it for. If they say grip, then I want to knolr something about their heart condition. A man with a weak heart does not waut to bother with any ol these medi cines nnless under the orders of a physician." As days pass by the hold of the disease upon residents, not only of Pittsburg proper, but of Allegheny and tbe surrounding towns, is shown. There is no locality in the county that has not its victims, some in greater numbers than in others. Its effects are felt in business circles to such an extent that a great deal of neccessary work is crip pled. In the city departments there Is the same trouble. Men are confined in their homes, and necessarily work is tied up. Employes Knocked Out For instanoe, of the postoffice force yes terday there were 32 employes who were unable to report for duty; and of those 24 were letter carriers. Many of those remain ing at work are suffering so mncb that they should be at borne. The sickness in the postoffice has only developed to an alarming extent within the past few days, and the re sult is that tbe men hare to work donble time in some instances. The same trouble is felt at the sub-stations as at the main office. Around the City Hall the force of clerks is very mqch weakened by the absence of those who have been compelled to remain from duty. From tbe Mayor down the offi cials are suffering. Chief Brown sava that the police force is having its share of the J grip. The sickness among the men notonly in that department, but among the firemen is so great that care has to be exercised to prevent either one from being crippled. Chief Brown says that over 40 of his em ploys are laid up with tbe grip. Many Sontbside druggists in answer to. the question, "Do you have many prescriptions to fill for the crip?" replied invariably, "Yes." Jacob Spohn, of Snohn & Mur phy, said that two-thirds of his trade was medicines for the grip and colds. He thought it was even worse than last year. W. B. Chambers, 1025 Carson street, said a fair proportion of his business was on ac count of the grip. J. A. Koch, Twelfth and Carson streets, had had a good trade for grip cure. He had also had three cases of grip in the store. Adam Paff, 1322 Car son street, said he was overrun with busi ness on account of the grip between the people with prescriptions and the people who want something for a bad cold, which amounts to the same thing. I have hardly had time to turn around. Just to show what some of the physicians think of ihe grip, this remark oi Dr. Leyda, oiVAIlegbeny: "There Js no retail grip now: we are having it by the wholesale.' INGRAIN CARPETS SOo Per Yard Up.

E Go Hand in Hand According to the Majority of the Rich Men of the Day. CARNEGIE AN EXCEPTION. He Says a World of Happines3 Comes With the Ability to Gite. PDLLMAN HAPPIER WHEN POOB. Jay Cooke Finds It's Lots of Pleasure t Get Rich a Second Tims. PURSUIT BETTEE THIN POSSESSION An occasional correspondent of The Dis patch has pnt tbe question, "Does Wealth Bring Happiness?" to a number of well known millionaires. He selected those who have known both poverty and riches, for only such can furnish answers entitled to respect The result of the inquiry is the following very interesting symposium: . What Happiness Consists Of. "Wealth can only bring happiness," said Andrew Carnegie, "in the sense that it gives us greater opportunities of making others happy. Great wealth is a sacred trust which the man who possesses it should hold and administer to the best possible ad vantage for the benefit oi his fellowmen. The truest happiness, indeed the only happiness in this life worthy of the name, is to make others happy, or at least, by im proving their condition in some way to make them happier than tbey otherwise wonld be. When we have exhausted every other so-called pleasure, tbat of bringing the look of joyful surprise to tbe eye and the words of gratelul happiness to tbe lips of others remains perennial. "The ways in wbich a wealthy man can produce such gratifying results are numer ous and self-evident Wealth will enable its possessor to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, endow free institutions of learning, establish free libraries, found hospitals and' do countless other good works. It will en-, able him to entertain his friends amid pleas urable surroundings, and thus help them to tbe enjoyment of some happy hours. With his riches he can purchase and give to those be loves tbe things of this world tbat their hearts roost desire. In this way, and this way only in the power of making others happy that it confers can Wialtb, per se, ever bring happiness." . Depends on What Wealth Is. "Wealth is purely a relative term." Tho speaker was George M. Pullman, tbe in ventor of the Pullman palace car, who is worth at least $50,000,000, and who has made a fortune for many others besides himself. His success is wholly due to his own brains and energy, for be began life a poor boy "Betore the question 'Does Wealth Bring Hanpiness' can be answered," becotyiuea; "we must ascertain -what wealth means. When the will of the late William H. Van derbilt, distributing over 200,000,000, was made Dublic, it cansed many worthy people who had previously thought themselves very wealthy to feel temporarily that tber were little better than pinpers. Yanderbilt used to say tbat $10,000,000 was a fair com petence. He thonght the income from that amount was about as much as a man could spend, and anything beyond it was mere snrplusage. According to Mr. Yanderbllt's standard a man is not weiltby nnless he is worth more than $10,000.000v Let us for the sake of convenience adopt that criterion. "Now, if a man has a competence of $10,000,000. and its income is all be can spend, bow can apy additional amount necessary to make him wealthy be of any advantage? If it is a mere surplusage which be can not spend, and with the cars of which he mast be burdened without any corresponding return of extra comfort or pleasure, how can wealth bring happiness? "For my own part I can only say tbat I am not one iota happier now than I was in tbe days when I bad not a dollar tbat I could call my own, save tbat for which I worked from sunny morn to dewy eve. Now tbat my circumstances have improved I can only wear one suit of clothes at a time, and tbat suit is no better than the one I wora then. I ate three square meals. daily at that time, and I cannot eat auy more now. Then I had no responsibility and no cares. I onlv bad to be at my post and do my dnty, and whrn my hours of work were over my mind and body were free as those of a bird. I conld go to sleep as soon as my head touched tbe pillow and sleep soundly till morning. Now that I have the weight of vast interests and business cares constantly upon me both in and out of working hours, I do not sleep so well as then. All things considered, I believe I was ranch happier when I was poor. Therefore, with all the great advan tages and privileges wbich wealth confers, I do not believe that it brings happiness." When Man b BIch. "There is no sneb thing as wealth," was John D. Kockefeller'i answer when my conundrum was proponnded to him. "That is," be continued, "there is no such thing as a wealthy man. Whether a man is rich or poor must always be determined by the re lation of bis desires and expenditures to his income. If a man believes himself rich, and has everything tbat he desires and feels that he needs, he really is rich no matter if he is worth only $10. On the contrary, if he is worth $1(3,000,000 and yet has desires and needs wbich he i unable, or thinks himself unable, to gratify or supply, he is poor. Yon. know Othello says: Poor and content is rich, and rich enough. "Money is like strawberries and cream. It is impossible for anybody ever to have enough. A man making money is like the little girl being fed with ice cream by her aunt in Punch's picture. " 'Don't you think yon have had enough, Ethel7' asks tbe aunt " 'I may think so, auntls, bnt I don't feel so. 'As most men grow richer their ambi tions, tastes and desires expand largely even to an extent wholly disproportionate to their acquisitions, and many men have felt much poorer when they bad accumulated a fortune ot $5,000,000 than tbey did when they bad $1,000,000, for the reason that their ideas had so enlarged that they desired to live in sneb magnificence, or to carry ont such great schemes of business enterprise or phiiantbrophy as the income from $10,000, 000 conld not possibly compass. "For Ibis reason, as well as for many others I might name, wealth is more likely to bring unbappiness than happiness." WEALTH AND Getting Klch the Second Time. "My answer to your question is. No." The speaker was Jay Cooke, the famous million aire dealer in railway bonds, whose failure precipitated the great psnio of 1873. "Wealth hampers a man in so many ways and brings with it so many anxieties that It is more often a destroyer, of happiness. A man who has once monntcd to the summit -1 4 4tjU
