I Some Rambling Thoughts.
i BT "HKHO."
' tCopyrlsutea' by Daw A Tiber.
) There came amws my path n few
days since, a youug man of wide
reading hut not of deep thought
who had among other things, satur
ated his mind with the thoughts ot
Schopenhatir, the jiessimist. In
weary tones he told of tlio disap
pointments and sorrows of life, of
the selfishness of human beings, of
the savagery into winch some of us
find it ki putt? tit rlmtv nf tint iirsi
of education in opening lefore us
all vast fields of learning that Time
prevents us from traversing, of the
mockery of lift iu giving us a mere
peep of great tilings and then send
ing us onward into death and dark
ness. . The dreary catalogue of woe
stricken thoughts grew more and
more irksome as it, progressed, and
I fear there were replies given more
forceful than polite. Since he is one
ofa class, may I just in a few
crowded words, repeat" some things
that were said during my portion
of the conversation. - j .
i ' .
I
:; I believe that a man talks only
in such gloomy fashion when he is
an intense egoist that he regards
the world as under, obligation to
circle for him and his pleasure ; that
he makes the centre of the universe
a mere speck ,of complaining human
ity J and that' his own ! little tooth
ache or his own little misery is alone
others.s ..-.r,Vt
,3 1 believe' that rainy days have
their place fully as much as days of
sunsnine in Dnnging ionn ine iruits
' of the earth. So I believe that none
of us bring forth our best when all
is sunshine, As the glare and glory
ot a blaring sun cause the desert, so
perfect ease of life develops desert
men and women, who make the
counterpart of the wasted miles of
Sahara, in the wasted years of their
lives ardently spent for self and
therefore hostile to every other hu
man l)eing. I must believe this
or
else regard the Creator as
a mere
teaser of men.
I believe that the selfishness of
human beings is more talked nlmut
than real. Even among the poor
and that includes most of us there
is so much unselfish helping of one
another, little doles of kindness
given with freehand out of almost
empty wallets, that one is compell
ed to believe that the example of
the majority of us will "fiinally be
come the guide of the world. As
Sir Edwin Arnold says, "All the
poor are piteous to the poor ;" so as
long as the poor last pity will last,
and when the poor aad grief-strained
cease, pit will no longer Ik;
needed.
I believe that through savagery
and grossness lurk in the breast of
all of us, there is an increasing con
trol of the hereditary inner savage,
and that the general orderliness of
daily life proclaim this truth. To
prove it, run over in your mind the
things your impulses would drive
you toward; and then see how your
hesitancy is eoulirnied into active
enmity to those feelings by your
knowledge ot the standard society
made up of units like yourself ex
pects of you. To see what we were
a few centuries ago, one might go
to the natives of South Atriea. Ac
cording to the word of a missionary
bishop, they are so unused to con
trol by reason of centuries lacking
in it, that at present it is impossible
for the ltoman Catholic church to
oruuiu iiiuivu priests mere, oil tore
eign to their thought is any desire
for self-connmcRt on behalf of others
that celibacy is. an absolute bat
against them. But under our civil
ization when there is reason for re
straintj botlj men and .women ''pass
happy lives without floating' away
on the waves of passion.
I believe tliat when ce rise from
the first keen feeling ot pur own lit
tleness, after education has opened
our eyes, we are driven to ' a fuller
understanding of what living really
moans ; that it leads', us to look
around for the same unity that per
vades the universe, wherein, each
body iu the heavens moves with ap
parent independence and yet all are
moving together in one vast pro
gress through sjuiiv. I believe this
unity of the human race .will, some
! day be more than a mere glittering
I dream, even an actual fact, with
'only here and there an emt
io creature moving like a comet
across the paths of others. I be
lieve that pessimism regarding Ed
ucation arises from wrenching it out
of its proper sphere. Rightly used
it gives us larger views. It makes
life more varied, fuller and more in
teresting. If it does not do tins, it
because we have loaded ourselves
down with its pebbles instead of its
rubies, and found darkness where
brightness alone should be.
I iH'lieve that the shortness oflife
just serves to show us that the race
is more important than the individ
ual, and that therefore the test of a
valid life will some day come to lc
not how much for self was gath
ered and Kcraied together, but how
much service was done to repay
something to the race lor the pleas
ures and opMrtunities that arc her
itages as members of one great hu
man family.
I Ix'liev" the world is thrilling to
a new century of new opportunities,
wherein Ix'tter nun than ourselves
shall hold sway, but in whose pro
gress the feeblest of us diall have a
part, if we live our : littbi lives to
their fullest.

A JUVENILE HOMER.
A. Counterpart of Jesse Pomeroy
Appears in Philadelphia.
MURDERED A FIVE-YEAR-OLD BOT
Samuel Ilcndemaon, Fifteen Yeans Old,
Lured Little Percy Lockyar to the
Woods, Where lie Brutally Killed
II I m and Threw Ills Body Into a C'rcrk
Philadelphia. Jan. 1?. Tha body of 5- !
year-old Percy Lockyer. who Is believed i
to have been murdered on Friday night '
by 15-year-old Samuel Henderson, was
yesterday found In the bottom of "Red- i
dies" creek. Sixtieth and Catharine ;
streets. West Philadelphia, and there :
seems little doubt In the minds of the
police that young Henderson Is guilty
of the crime. lie is now locked up In
a cell at police headquarters,
jnc
was
body of the child, when found
weighted bv two heavv Btones, one
about his necjt and the other around
his ankles. His skull was crushed in
and there was a knife thrust just above
the heart and similar wounds on his
breast, side and forehead, while on one
s!de of the face Is a long cut. extending
from below the eye to the chin.
From what the police have been able
to learn the crime seems to have been
one of the most horrible character, and
if all Its details are true It stamps
young Henderson as a degenerate of the
worst type. He does not seem to
realize the enormity of his crime. On
Saturday, after his arrest, he told this
.. . . . . i. n t.i.ti. .
y ui me iviiiiiik. j
"I found Percy Lockyer at play with j
several companions in front of the
West End nchoolhouse, and Induced
him to walk across the fields to the
woods In search of 'piggies' to play
hocky with. After coaxing him for
some time he agreed to go, and we went I
together.
"1 was standing at the foot of & hill ;
on the side of which, half way up, Percy
was at play. I was whittling a stick.
The creek was just behind me. All of
a sudden I got tired of whittling and
stopped, holding my knife against my
hip, blade outward. Just then I saw
Percy running down the hill at full
.speed. I had been bending over, and
just as 1 straightened up Percy struck
?ie and ran squarely upon the knife,
t pierced his heart. He fell over back
ward, and didn't speak again. His legs
twitched once or twice. I was scared
because I thought I had killed thlm,
and picked the body up and carried It
to the creek, where I tumbled It Into
the water and went home."
. Yesterday, however, when shown the
mutilated body of the child he admit
ted that h was responsible for those
cuts as well, but he still persisted that
It was an accident.
The police, however, believe It wnp
a planned murder, In which the guilty
one also purposed ending the life of an
other small boy, Willie Addison, aged
7 years. Henderson, It Is claimed, has
been reading trashy novels of the wild
western stamp, and has shown a de
Blre to emulate the "hero" of those
tales. The police assert that Ilender
son accompanied Lockyer and Addison
to the woods, as he told on Saturday,
but Instead of any accident happening
to either Henderson lied both children
to n tree, Addison broke away and ran
home. It was then, it Is said, that
young Lockyer's death was accomplish-
ed. Physicians declare that the child
was not dead when thrown into the i
creek. Young Henderson's father de-1
clares that his boy Is insane.
A fact thut has come nut In rnnnec- ,
tlon with Henderson's alleged crime Is
that his father, John l. Henderson,
was on trial before Judge Hoed, In
October, 1SK, charged with killing ai
mini named Christopher Nelson. The
killing was the outcome of a, tpiarrcl. (
Henderson, when arraigned, pleaded ,
guilty to iiiHiislauKhter. He was re-
manded for sentence, but some time ,
later It was shown that the death was
largely accidental, and there was no
murderous intent. He was admitted
to ball, and Is now a free man.
The murder of young Lockyer recalls
the crime, earlv In the "O's, of Jesse
Pomeroy, now serving a life sentence
in the Massachusetts state prison.
Pomeroy, then l." years old, lured a 4-year-old
boy to the meadows back of
South Huston, anil there stabbed the
little on; to death with a Jackknlfe.
The child's boilv was covered with
wounds, and his little hands wire
cruelly hacked, showing that he bad
held them before him In an effort to
wnrd off the cruel stabs. Pomeroy,
since his imprisonment, has made fxv
eral clever attempts to escnpe.

Washington, Jan. IS. Features of
yesterday's proceedings In the senate
were the speech delivered by Senator
Wolcott. of Colorado, chairman of thu
bimetallic commission, upon the nego
tiations of the commission with Ku
ropean countries relative to Interna
tional bimetallism, and the pannage of
the Lodge bill restricting Immigration
Into the I'nlted States. The proceeding
were the most Interesting and Import-
, ant that have characterized any single
day's work of the xeiiute during the
i Present session, and the galleries were
I crowaea at an eany Hour.
Senator Hanna appeared at the open
I Ing of the Hi'Hslon. Mr. Foraker, the
senior senator from Ohio, presented Mr.
Manila's credentials for the remainder
: of Mr. Sherman's term, which will ex
I plre on March 4, l.v.t!), and asked that
the oath of otllce bo administered to
him. Mr. Foraker escorted his colleague
I to the desk, where Vice President llo
1 hart administered the oath.
At tin; cunculslon of the morning
! session Mr. Wolcott benn his inl
' dress. He was In tine voice and hiiii
j manded the earnest attention nf his
! auditors. Ills uddress consumed an
hour and fifteen minutes, and durln;:
that time not a senator or representa
tive and many of the latter were pres
; ent left the chamber. Senator Wol
cott explained the failure of the
commission to secure an Ititerna
I tliinul ugreement by saying that Its
efforts were undermined by the reports
received in Knglaud from this country.
I He declared that he felt sure of Presl
j dent McKlley's sincerity in the desire
I for nn International agreement, and
! that Secretary Gage's statements were
at variance with those of the president.
! He vigorously scored the Gage currency
1 hill, and declared that "It will reach
Umbo before It reaches the senate.
Referring directly to Secretary (luge
be said:
"The selection of the members of hH
lllclal household Is the president's own
affair, and so long as he Htunds upon
the question of bimetallism where he
has ever stood, there Is no serious
ground for apprehension. Hut even in
the Inconceivable event that the chief
magistrate of this people should In the
exercise of his judgment determine 10
countenance the final fastenings upon
this country of the burdens of the gold
standard, I trust we may still And war
rant (or faith and hope In the pledges
of the party and the wisdom of its
counsels. We will cross our bridges
when we come to them. The time when I
this country will submit to the final )
Imposition of gold monometallHm Is far
away."
.The Immigration bill was then taken
up and discussed until 3 o'clock. An
amendment offered by Mr. Hpooner, of
Wisconsin, providing ttiHt the ability
on the part of the Immigrant . llher to
reau or wrnu should ne accepted as n
sulllcent test of his literacy, was adop
ted by a vote of 2 to 22. Another
amendment by Mr. Spooner providlnj:
una ine mvmoers oi the I ami ly ac
companying an immigrant rejected un
der the conditions of the bill should
be returned to the country whence lho
came by the steamship companies was
also adopted, other efforts were made
to nmend the measure, but failed. The
bill was then passed by a vote of )".
to 2S.
The bill an passed provides that all
Immigrants physically capable, and

night. The first disorders occurred
among the lawmakers themselves. An

declined to huve the subject reopened.

precipitated, during which the premier
threatened that the cabinet would re

government forces won, the motion to
Indefinitely postpone being carried by
a vote of 310 to SW.
A great antl-Preyfus nnd anti-Semite
meeting last night at the Tlvoll Vaux

The neighborhood was paraded by po

Idly growing crowd Increased the ex

of the mcctin-r. the hall wa:i a seething
sea of humanity, crowding every part,
gesticulating, shouting "A bas Zola,"
"Vive i'Armee" and "Vive l.i lievolu
Hon Soclalc." The members of the
anti-Semite committee display d ban
ners bearing the Inscription, "Heath tu

In order to raise a traitor."
The scene now became a saturnalia.
The anarchists removed the Iron stair
case giving access to the tribune, sn
