After a shoit visit In Hast she rode back again over Intaln and across foothill to her home, never to lslt the old again. Iram Overholt became the leading Ir and distiller of Western Penn- knli.

AU " (. s. iv .Sr, career with tho sound basis of a publlo school education, rounded out with sev eral years of academical study. Theie was nothing In the school llfo of the lad to Indicate tho possession of tho remarkable business ability which has plnco characterized his life. Ills first venturo In business was In the general store of a relative In Mount Pleasant. While he was attending the ncademv at Mount Pleasant, and part of tho time while he was taking hl9 first steps In his business career, he lived with his uncle, Christian S. Over holt, then tho leading merchant and banker of southern 'Westmoreland county. The old Overholt homo at Mount Pleasant still stands as a relic of tho beautiful village of thirty years ago, beforo the town becamo encircled with a belt of fire from blazing ovens nnd the ntmosphoro discolored with tho soot of coke smoke. After a brief scr- lce as clerk In his uncle's store soung Frlck was Installed ns bookkeeper In tho oflico of his grandfather at Broad ford, Fayette county. At this time tho Conncllsvlllo coke Hold waa of very limited area In a commercial sense. The product of Ha ovens was Just beginning to be appre ciated by the Ironmasters of the con tiguous states. The Boyles, Ha7lets, Cochrans and Tlnstmans wero then tho leading opcratois. An opportunity was presented to Mr. Frlck to study tho possibilities of coko making while oc cupied as a bookkeeper. Then a chance came to acquire a limited Interest In n plant near Bradford, and ho took ndvantago of It. Out of the profits of this venture he gradually acquired other holdings In lands nnd ovens. The Insight and experience thus gained prepared the young operator for his grand stroke a few years later. rOItnSIGHT. The expansion of the coke ti.ule be tween 1870 and 187C and the ambitious projects of some of tho operators, nmong them Tlnstman & Co., icsulted In a ilnancial crash In lSiG. I orcsee Ing the demand that must come for ConnellsMlle coke, Mr. Filck purchased at shot ill's sale several large tracts of valuable coke land, which ultimately fed his miles of coke ovens nnd are to day a source of wealth. From this dates the rise of Mr. Frlck. Tho great Morewood works were built three years later, In 18?9; then the Standard property was purchased, and Walter and 10. M. Ferguson, Fayette county rapitallsts", and the Mellons, bankers of Pittsburg, became Interested as partners In the expanding enterprises of tho young operator. In 1SS2 the firm wns merged Into the H. C. Trick Coke company, and among the largest pur chasers of stock wero Carnegie Bros. & Co. (Limited). Today the Frlck Coke company Is one of the great factors In the Carnegie interests. It i.'t tho largest coko manufacturing concern In the world. Jt owns nearly 40,000 acres of coal and 12,000 coke ovensr. Its dally capacity when running full is about lij.000 tons of coke, In the manufac-turt- of which 11,000 persons aro en gaged. It embraces not only miles of ovens, but also lallroads, waterworks nnd cars-hops. One of the elements of 'Mr. Flick's early buceepa was In the belectlon of his lieutenants. Young, active and ambitious men with executive ability were chosen as his supetlnlendent. Thomas M. Lynch, president of die II. C. Frlck Coke company today, be gan as a clcik in the Frlck store at Summit Mines twenty-lHo yeais ago, nnd this example holds good through nil other depaitments, A system of civil set vice promotion exists thiough out the Trick interests. FItICK AND CAttNUGIi:. When Thomas M. Carnegie died, In October, IShS, the direction of the f'ai negie Interests practically devolved on tho survKing brother, Andrew Cat negle. Their lntetibts In the ooke business brought Andrew Carnegie and If. C. Frlck into close and confidential business relations In many ways there was a similarity of ability and business foresight In them. Andrew Carnegie was constantly looking for joung men of ability, and that Is ivhy todaj, with two or thteo exceptions, the Carnegie association Is composed of comparatively young men. With Inci easing years, Andrew Carnegie gradually relinquished the active man agement of his nlllcd Interests. Young er men took the helm, but for a dozen j ears alrnobt, while other names hae appeared on letter sheet and olllce sign as the olllclal head of the Catnegle Interests In their entirety, the brain that has planned and the hand that has directed were those of the quiet, reserved man upon whose olllce door appeared the name In Inconspicuous gilt letters. "Mr. Frlck." The ocnt that brought Mi Frlck Into national prominence was the trouble at Homestead In ISO.. Mr Frlck nnd his partneis hive always maintained that the 'causes which led to the Homestead strike were never pioperly understood, at least until af terward. It was a presidential year, nnd publlo feeling ran high, The tariff was the leading Issue and discussion took a wider range than It would have done at any other time. For several years prior to the sttlko tostly labor saving machinery Intended to lncreaso tho product and lighten labsr had been Introduced In many of the Homestead departments As a result a number of men, skilled workmen, known as "tonnnge men," because they were paid at ceitaln fixed rates bv the ton of product, were enabled to Increase their earning from 75 to 100 per cent, beyond what was contemplated when the wage pcale was adopted, three jvars before. Mr. Frlck maintained that thesa wages were out of proportion to the wages of other men In the mill and greatly beyond the wnges paid by competing mills IAIlOTt TROUBLES. ti ((inferences between the Car negie nillclals and tho officers of tho labor oiganlzatlons concerning a new rcalo of wages to take effect at the expiration of tho existing scale, the labor representatives refused ti con sider any reduction In the rate paid to the tonnage men. The outcome was that Mr. Frlck prepared a scalo eliminating the objcctlonablo features of tho old one and submitted It direct ly to the workmen themselves without the appronl of the labor olllclals A strike was the result, involving thous nnds of men nnd culminating In tho ordering out of tho National Guard and the proclamation of martial law at Homestead. It was In the midst of this excitement, on July 22, 1S92, that tho attempt was made on Mr. Trick's llfo by Alexander Bergman, a New York anarchist, who was promptly tried and sentenced to a long period of imprisonment in tho Western peni tentiary Mr Frlck has resided In Pittsburg all his llfo slnca leaving his homo in Westmoreland county. Ills residence Is on Fifth avenue, in tho east end. He Is a lover of music, and one of the fentures of his home Is a magnificent music room, one end of which Is filled with an orchestrion which was made to his order in Europo some years ago. Sunday-School Lesson for May 21. Christ Before the HigUi Priest JOHN xvlH, 15-27. BY J. E. GILBERT, D. DM LL. D., Secretary of American Society of Religious Education. CONTHXT AND OUDIin. Strictly speaking the four evangelists were not historians, neither biographers. They did not attempt to glvo a full account of what transpired between tho arrest and tho crucifixion of Jesus, lach se lected events to suit his purpose In writing und arranged them according to his line of thought. As a conse quence no two of them agree In details, nnd It la Impossible at this distance of time to arrange an orderly narrative and present tho precise relations of tho various actions recorded. This fact, however, Increases tho Interest of tho student, who, by comparing one gospel with another and casting the fragments Into new form, obtains a, perspective and outline that Is even more Instruct ive because of Its brevity. Our study of tho piesent lesson will bo conducted with reference to the deeds and rela tions of the person mentioned. ANNAS AND CALVPHAS. Verso 24 is evidently retrospective and paren thetical, and may properly bo restored to the narrative after Verse 14. Annas was appointed high priest of the Jews, A. T). 7, but had been removed by the Roman procurator, and Joseph Cala phas, his son-in-law, had been appoint ed In his stead. Both are mentioned In Scrlpturo ns high ptlcs's. It Is prob able that while one held tho office he was really controlled by tho other. These facts indicate tho desperate con dition In which the Jews were at tho time the highest functionary of re ligion, who according to their law should hold his position for life, was subject to the will of the civil author ities. From the reign of Herod until the destruction of tho temple by Titus, theie wero no fewer than twenty-eight high pilests. We learned last week that Jesus was first arraigned beforo Annas. Now we learn that Ho was sent bound to Calaphas. Canon Fariar suggests that the flrstappearancewas practically designed to pleane those Jews who still regarded the opinion nnd lulluence of Annas, while the other appearance was potential, having authority to deter mine guilt As bound He was an ac cused criminal JOHN AND JUSUS. When Jesus was seized by Roman olllcers In the garden, all tho disciples forsook Him und fled (Mark. xiv:S0). While most of them sought places of safety In the city, two, tecoveiing from the first panic, followed In the rear of the procession Peter is mentioned ns one of these (verse 15), and the name of the other is unknown. From hlb hab it of suppressing his own .name (John ill:23), It has been generally sup posed that this was John, the brother of Janie, the youngest of the band, mentioned In the gospel history ns the 'beloed disciple," he resolved not to leave his Master In this hour of gieat trial. When therefore Jesus was led Into the palace of Calaphas, John went In also. This privilege wus readily granted because he was Known as a jonng Galilean fWhetman, a follower of Jesus. This only disci ple of all who had gathered around the Nazareno maintained his confidence and loyalty and teared not to accept the fortunes of the one whom ho loved. It Is no wonder that the Sav iour was afterward prompted to com On December lfi, 1881, Mr. Filck was mauled to Miss Ada Howaid Chllds, a daughter of Asa P. Chllds, of Pittsburg. Four children were born to them, two boys and two girls; one son, now a lad of fifteen, und one daughter are lllng. Tn a quiet way Mi. Filck has given tens of thousands of dollars to churches schools, Ubiailes and othel Institutions. In a quiet way he occa sionally Indulges In golf, and among his Intimates he Is regarded as a very clever whist player. He is an admlter of fine paintings, and has canvasses worth hundreds of thousands of dollars In his home. One of his latest pur chases was Bouveret'b ' Christ at Em maus," which he purchased more than a year ago at a price not made public, but which has been estimated all the way ft oni $50,000 to $100,000. The pic ture was first exhibited In Paris in 1897, where Mr. Frlck saw It and took nn option on It. It was purchased after his return from Europe early In 1S98, and was presented last fall by Mr, and Mrs. Frlck to the Carnegie Art gallery here In memory of their dead daugh ter, Martha. It is a somewhat remaikable fact that the llttlo village of AVest Overton has been the blrthplnce of at least two of the great financiers of the present de cade. H. C Trick and A. C. Overholt, the latter the head of the great Iron Pipe Trust. Mr. Overholt began the operation of a small pipe mill at Scott dale, three miles below West Overton, less than a dozen jeais ago. Today It Is one of the largest concerns In the country. When it was merged into the Pipe Tiust Mr. Overholt, who Is only a little more than forty yeats of age, was elected president of the consoli dated Interests. Ho was born almost directly across the road from the house in which Mr. Frlck first saw the light of day. ORIGIN OF AMERICANS. Contention That Japan Was tho Or iginal Homo of the Race. From Peoples of the World Probably Japan, the Kurllcs and the regions thereabouts must bo looked upon ns the original home of the Amor lean race, or at least the greater por tion of It. In 1834 a Japanese Junk was wrecked at Queen-hulth, to the south of Cape Flattery, and tho three sur vlvots were sent back to Japan. They had been driven off tho Island of Yeso, and, losing their reckoning, had drifted about for several months, during which tune tho crew, which had been origin ally forty In number, had dwindled down by hardship and hunger to three. Again, on the 21st of April, 1847. In lati tude 35 degrees north, longitude 1GC de grees cast, a Japanese junk was fallen In with which had lost her rudder and had been driven to sea In a gale In November, 1840. Rho had on board a crew of nine men and about 2,000 pounds of beeswax and other cargo. On another occasion an American whaler in May, 1847, fell In with a largo Junk of 200 tons burden, dis mantled, with her rudder gone nnd otherwise Injured In a typhoon which had occurred seven months previously, , The crew, originally consisting of sev mit the keeping of his mother to such a friend (John xlx:27). The act was nil the more beautiful because In re lating tho Incident afterward he with held his name. PETEIl AND JOHN. Simon Peter was not as fortunate as his young col league. Ho was unknown. It tnnv be that ho was not In John's company, that he followed at a greater distance (Mark xlv:D4), and came up to tho gate after the others had entered, only to he denied admittance, If, Indeed, he made any request whatever. Tho language Indicates that ho stood out side hardly expecting, possibly not desiring to venturo further (verse 1C). But the tender-hearted John saw him nnd Interceded to bring him in. It wns a brotherly act, expressive of sympathy. John may have been prompted by a desire for companion ship, for under such circumstances It Is trying to stand alone. Ho may have thought that he was rendering service to tho Master, who had both manifested and declared his sollcltudo for the impetuous apostle (Luke xxll:32). Aud It Is highly ptobablc that He had regards for Peter's feel ings and safety, knowing as ho must have known, that this man was de stined to act an Important part In the cause of Christ for which ho greatly needed preparations (Acts 11:14). PETEtt AND SERVANTS. With bold Imprudence Peter walked Into the court-yard and sat down In the midst of the servants who gathered about a lire (Luke, xxll.M). Fixing a steady gaze upon him tho pot tress enquired whether he wero not a disciple of Jesus, and Peter denied (verse 17). For the moment his wotds may have been ac cepted as truthful. But a little later the busplclon of those near him was again aroused and In plainer terms he was accused of being with Josus (Matt., xxvl:C9). Having once falsi fied he felt himself compelled to main tain his position (verse 25). But now to give emphasis to his utterance he declared that ho did not een compre hend the subject of their conversation It was as if they spoke In an un known tongue A whole hour passed (Luke, xll TiD), nnd once more tho ac cusation was made by a kinsman of the pervant whose oar Peter cut olt In the garden. More than ever a lie seemed to be necessary, and, to teenre himself against further anroyancc, Peter began to curse as If to phow that ho could not bo an associate of Jesus (verso 26). The man had completely btoken down under temptation, and the words of Jesus concerning him were fulfilled (Mark, xlv:30). Soon after the rock crew (verbo 27) and he went out to weep (Luke, xxll'CJ). JESUS AND CAIAPHS. While ull this transpired In the outer court a far different scene was enacted within the palace. Tho pvnoptlsts refer to the examination by the Sanhedrln at the dawn of dav (Luke, xxll:CG). John deactlbes In out lesson (eisp ja et bcq.), an earlier interview In which the High Pi lest nought Information to be laid before that high cotnt. His di bit e was to name some charge of "Se dition or of unorthodox touching, the foimer being an offense against the Mate, the lattr an offense against the enteen persons, wns reduced to four teen, who were In a most pitiable con dition fiom famine and all beat red fiom dirk and knife wounds, for fearful bcenes seemed to have been enacted on board during the struggle for existence and nmld the paroxysms of hunger and despair. The Indlnns have a tradition that many jears ago, long beforo the whites settled among them, a vessel laden with wax and apparently a Jap anese Junk, was wrecked on their coast. To this day pieces of the wax are tossed up, and at one time the Hudson Bay company used to trade for it from the natives. Very recently a similar, case was re corded in the newspapers, but the above will bufllce to show that them ato no obstacles to prevent Amerira having been originally peopled from the Asiatic coast. The number of tribes on the American continent Is verv re markable, and the languages are equal ly multifarious, though all of the gen eral "agglutinative" construction. The famous Thomas Jefferson, president of the United States, was In the habit of pointing to this diversity of languages as a proor of the antiquity or tne American aboriginal race. It points, however, to nothing more than that the native races of America have been al ways at war with each other and con ned therefore to Isolated communities, holding little mutual Intercourse with each other, and thus the languages have got further and further separated from each other. In giving a general sketch of the American races we may throw them Into great groups of a more or less geographical character, the hab its and In some cases the origin of the tilbes being similar In these regions. CAT AND COYOTE. Meet and Fight it Out on the Open Prairie. From tho Boise Statesman. A Lolse gentleman passing over the tago brush plains near Meildlan the other day was treated to nn exhibition that was na strange as It was Interest ing. It was a battle between a cat and a coyote. It was early morning, and plainly the night's prowling over the prairie had netted the coyote nothing In tho way of a good, square feed. When first seen he was stealthily glid ing about, his nose to tho ground, searching, ns they always are, for something to nppcase his insatiable appetite. Ho stopped and was survey ing the surroundings from a slight knoll, when there appeared on the scene a great tomcat, a burly fellow, w ho also seemed on a quest for break fast some toothsome morsel, ns a cot tontail or a young grouse. "When Tom hove In sight tho coyote smiled a sat isfied smile. All things come to the patient, ho must have thought, and he at once prepared to take unto his Inner sef the bounties that naturo provided. Torn had not at first seen tho coyote; in fact, was not aware that a foe was near until tho first charge, when the coyote sprang nt him. But, quick as a flash, ho parried the first thrust and then squared for action. With back up nnd fur on end, the cat stood his church. Ho might bo put to death on cither chatge If sustained. Ilcnco Cal- uphas questioned Him concerning Ills disciples and doctrine. Ho proposed to etort fiom tho Saviour's lips somo statement to show that tho number of Ills followers Indlcnted n dangerous conspiracy, or that His utterances wero Inimical to Judaism. Concerning His disciples Jesus made no reply, nnd He referred Calaphas to those who heard Him for a knowledge of His teachings (verso 20), declaring that He had spoken openly. "Whv nskst thou me?" (verse 21 Ho enquired, rebuking the illegal procedure of an attempt privately to entrap the Saviour in Ills own words. JESUS AND OFFICERS. "Answcr cst thou the high priest so?" exclaimed one of the officers with a burst of in solence, and, then, unreproved by the priest, he Inflicted an Infamous blow up tho sacred faco of ChrlBt (verso 2!), the first act of violence against Him, the beginning of contemptuous treat ment wnlch Ho would recelvj from the profane (Matk xv.l'J). This In dignity was contrary to law, as we learn In a similar case In tho history of Pauls (Acts xx!!!:3), as well as from tho words of Nlcodemus (John vll:51). liven In tho time of Moses there weio statutes to protect a prisoner (Lev. xlx.35) until his 'innocence or guilt might be established, and no man might be beaten until condemned (Duet. xxv:2). Moreover, tho same principle or guarantee of personal rights had found expression In Roman law (Acts xx:25), which Paul quoted to good advantage more than once (Acts xvl.37). The answer of Jesus to the one who had outraged Him dis played no resentment. With utmost calmness, Ho enquired why the legal processes might not have their course (verso 23). He was willing to stand at the bar of Justice and to accept His deserts, and sought to allay the evil passions which might carry His ene mies Into acts of ciuelty and Insult. BACKWARD VIEWS. From sev eral standpoints we may profitably re view this passage. 1. See tho pitiful plight of tho men who sought to de stroy Jesus. While He Is in their power they have no accusation, but endeavor to force from Him what may be construed against Him, vacating the forms of Justice und allowing the uncondemned to be shamefully treated to bolster up and already self-abused dlgnlty;2. See the Christ In this hour, refusing to be a party to any surh nefarious buslnebs, wise enough to re sist those who would lnrilmlnate Him, holy enough to Btand by Ills tecoid and appeal to those who heard Him, demanding at the wmc time that in the presence of the high pi lest He should not be deprived of rights prom ised by the law of Moses and the law of Rome, 3 See the church. One had turner traitor, and was consorting with his enemies. Eight had aban doned thelt Master and sought only their own perbonal security. One had denied tin ice und sealed his falsehood with piofanlty. One only, the true loer of the Master, clung to Him in silence and he a young man Tell It to the credit of youth, he endured and loved and sympathized, the first of that gieat company whose lives have blnce blessed the chutch (1 John 11:14) ground for tho second onslaught. Ruf fian like, the coyote plunged Into the battle, Intent on bearing down his an tagonist with brute force nlone, and this probably saved the day for Tom This time he got In a left swing blow on the cojote's Jaw, letting first blood, then Jabbed with the right, bilnglng the coyote to a stand The coyote went to his corner under a sage brush bleed ing. In the second round tho coote sprang Into the fight much as In the first, and with about the bunie result to him. The cat uppercut nlnt as he lushed In, then, swinging, mauled him with left and light, until the air was full of brown-gray hulr. The round was fui Ions throughout, with honors cleat ly for Tom. The coyote might have been counted out if the gophers thut watched the bout had counted. Ho dellbeiated long before coming in for the third round, but his belly ruled his mind, and to the scratch ho came, slowly this time. Tom was ready, and rushed the fight. He crowded the coy oto and backed him over tne knoll, planting a left or right whenever and wherever ho pleased. Flnallj, after much sparring, Tom got In the deadly knock-out blow. The fight was his, but he took no mean advantnge. When - e coyote was down he stood over him giving him more than the limit of time ior him to come up, but "canls latron ls" had enough. He slunk away to his sage brush, and "fells domestlca," his oack still up, with his head over his shoulder, to see that he was not made the victim of treachery, sidled off to continue his hunt for a nice young cot tontail.
