on any talent of my own, hut upon th** iwrslst
cut force of Democratic principles and fidelity
In (boir defense which the Democratic party of
Uhlo has nnlfnnnly displayed. Tho platform
adopted by your Convention has received my
attentive consideration, and in tbo spirit and
substance of Its utterances I most heartily con*
cur. It embodies in my opinion reforms for which
there la no imperative demand In tbo. character
and scope of our WgiMntfrirpdlley**' and objects
and purposes I«r;wh!cUrthr*OovurnmeDtl» ad
ministered? Unless those;reforms nro accom
plished we must drlfffanner and further from
tbo true mm and Intent of popular government.
Legislation, which should bo directed solely
and strictly to tho Interests of the many, lends
more and more In these times towards sub
servience to tho few. No doubt Ibis will exist
In all communities, and has Its sources inde
pendently of party organization; but. In our
own State and under tbo auspices of tbo party
In power, it lias become more dangerously prev
alent than over before. It Is a belief, to which
I have over ndberon and have often given ex
pression of, that tbo function of government
should in no case be exorcised in behalf of any
section or class to tbo detriment of any
other.. Still less Is It Justified In yield
ing them to tbo service of corporations
and powerful monopolies Intrenched in tbelr
own wealth and abundantly capable of self
protection as against tbo mass of tbo people,
und particularly to the agricultural and me
chanical classes. These have no organization,
und nonu but numerical i*owcr. and tholrsolu
defense ami safeguard against aggression and
wrong lies in the fidelity of their representa
tives. Among many caret in point, the manage
niHiit of tho convict latter of tho State, to which
voiir platform alludes, Is a noteworthy one, and '
hero, na elsewhere, n reform Is plainly called
for, to the end that tho Government of tho
Htnte, If It cannot directly aid tbo laboring
classes, shall not present itself in tbo character
of their enemy and .oppressor.
Thu fifth resolution of your platform relates
ton uncstlon of vital interest, and expresses in
brief and plain terms opposition to legislation
of a merely sumptuary character. This, If I un
derstand It rightly, does not Imply hostility to
rational and practical measures for the abate
ment of any evils with which society is affected,
it may Ikj well, however, to remember that in a
free country the object of all law is iho main
tenance, and not iho abridgement, of tho rights
ut the citizens. Tho attempt to govern too
much or too mlmiudy In these particulars must
Inevitably defeat its own end. Tbo preserva
tion of social order and tab wholesome restraint
und control of elements of danger to tho
community, which cannot be wholly re
moved, are objects eminently desirable
In themselves, possible of attainment, and prop
erly within the scope of comdlinilnnnl legisla
tion. It Is much to be deplored that all well
«lls|Hiaod citizens. Including those alopposit ex
tremes on this question, cannot Ik? brought upon
common ground for tbu accomplishment of
what Is, or ought to be, n common object. ■

tbu country Is n matter which gravely .affects
tho welfare of our own and every other Btate.

It Is but tbo development aim organization of
varied Industrial pursuits, and It busootmi to bo
regarded as almost an axiom In political econ
omy that tbo prosiwrliy and tnalnioimneo of
any special Industry is dependent upon tbo
perfect coordination ami harmonious ad

this nubject should bo of such a character
as will ever beep In view this balanced relation
of the many parts which go to nmko up the vast

Cincinnati, 0.. July 28.—A meeting of grain
and transportation men was hold In one of tho
rooms of Iho Chamber of Commerce to-day, for
the purpose of devising n new system of weigh
ing grain. Tho fault with the present system Is
that tho public weighers, of whom there arc
unite a largo number, nrn not strictly responsi
ble for tho accuracy of tholr ccrtlUcatos of
weights, and as a consequence buyers, shippers,
nnd transportation companies are frequently
misled ns to tho exact amount of grain that
Is passing through their bands. Tho publlo
weighers arc poorly pnld, nnd do not scorn to bo
directly responsible to anyoltlolnl. Tho result
Is that sumo grain man goes to ono of thorn nnd
says," I have n lot of wheat containing so many
pounds. 1 have Just weighed It, and there is no
need ol your being to that trouble. Give men
ccrtiflcntn for that amount, and hero Is your
fee.” Tho proposition usually strikes tno
weighers favorably, and. If tho buyer of the
grain finds that ho Is several'bushels short, ho
lias no redress. He cannot go behind
Iho weigher’s certificate. It Is hot charged
that false weights aro of very frequent
occurrence, but they occur often enough to
render a change of system almost Imperative.
At tho mooting this afternoon tho whole subject
wasgono over, and was finally referred tu tho
Drain Committee of the Chamber of Commerce
for report. Quo of tho plans suggested was that
tho wulghors bo appointed by tho Chamber of
Commerce and paid such salaries us will warrant
them In doing accurate work. Another propo
sition was to Increase tho elevator facilities of
tho city to such an extent that tho present sys
tem of weighing grain may bo entirely abol
ished. It Is not unlikely that this will be dono.
It was stated at tho meeting that tho grain trade
of Cincinnati Is sullcrlng on account of tho pres
ent lack of facilities for carrying It on.

ANOTHER OHIO MAN,
Throe Time* Married* Two Women
Living, No Divorce, «nd No Wife.
Wmrfof/e (.Vic*.) IttinUttUan.
Amos Pitkin, now n resident of Eaton, living
about four mites from this city, was bom and
reared in Geauga County, Ohio. Ho Is now 4#
years old, a man of more than average Intefii
gonuo, and a prosperous farmer. In 1850 bo was
married in his native count}*, and shortly after
came to this Stale, settling In Eaton County.
After living hero for a time-bo wont back to
Ohio, where bis first wife died, leaving two chit-
Urcn. In bis younger days Pitkin bad known a
girl named Phoebe. Halstead, who lived
likewise in Geauga County. Bho bad married n
man named Itoss. Ho loft her during ttao
War with three children. Not bearing from him,
she supposed bo was -killed in the army, and
married -one Dakcr. Shortly after Baker was
arrested for criminal intimacy with her young
daughter by her former husband, Uoss, con*
vlctcd, and sonttoState.Prlson. While serving
out his time she obtained a divorce from him.
Meeting Pitkin, bo thinking she had boon the
victim ot cruel circumstances, and remember
ing bcronly as the girl be had known la bis
youth, married her, she faithfully promising to
bo a mother to his children. This was In 1871.
They came to Eaton, this State, in 187 J. . Every
thing passed along with more or less smoothness
until about two years ago. In the meantime
slid bad borne bim three children. Then the pair
learned for the first time that Iloss was living.
After leaving bur In Ohio, Uoss came to Michi
gan and wont to preaching, first In one place,
then In another, but principally In the northern
part of the Slate. Without getting a divorce
•from bis first wife, bo married again, and was
shortly left n widower. Tbon bo wooed and won
tbo organist of his church. At ibis tirno bo was
preaching near St, Johns. They wore married
and fivwftogotbor for several years, when one
day tbo clerical scoundrel was arrested for for
gery. Of this crime bo was convicted and sent
to mate Prison at Jackson. While In prison tbo
wlfu bo married near St. Johns found out some
thing of Mrs. Pitkin, and wrote to know If she
was divorced from Uoss.' If sbe were not It
would save bor the trouble and expense of get
ting u divorce. This was me (IratMr. and Mrs.
Pitkin know of Uoss being alive. Hera was a
dllenm. .They bad .been - living together
a number of years, - and had three
children, the youngest an Infont. Wbnt
to do they Uhl not know. Finally It was decided
that all marital relations should cease, that sbe
should live there, keep bouse, and take euro of
the children. Pitkin was to support and care
far bor us formerly. Shortly after this agree
ment Uoss was discharged from prison, and,
learning of his former love, took Immedlato
steps to bring about a meeting. Through his
prumlsea and. perhaps, In memory of bis former
lovo, she finally went to Ovid to sou him. The
old relations were renewed, aau they lived as
man and wife for three weeks. Thou she came
back to Pitkin and wanted tbo infant. He re
fused to let bor have It unless Uoss and tbo
woman would legally adopt it. A hitch oc
uurred, and sbe staid for several months with
Pitkin, finally leaving him for Uoss and taking
tbo child with her. At the present Unto they
are living In tbo northern part of tbo State, and
bo Is preaching tbo Quspol. -This happened two
years ago this fall. Since that time Pitkin has
nut seen bor.
Hu had three children at borne, aged 0, 8 end
14. No one eotfid bo hired to take charge of tbo
bouse, mid be bud to do the cooking, washing,
housework and run ttao farm. This statu of
nlfalrs continued until lust full, when, being lit
llurllu, luulu County, Pitkin met Mrs. Surah
McGowan, a widow, whose husband had been
killed In the army. Bhe bud three grown daugh
ters and owned u farm. An attuobmout sprung
tip between them, and In December lust they
were married, sbe knowing nil bis past
history, bbe came to tals homo with
him and staid 1 live weeks, wben homesick
ness attacked bor and abe returned to her
former residence In Berlin. After being tboro a
wollo she camo back to Pitkin and remained a
abort time, leaving him for good lust Murob.
■ Bbe bud no complaint to make, and frankly said
so, but the entreaties of her children, ana ber
longing for bor old home, caused bor to Icavo
him. übttlsu sister of K. M. Marble, Unitor

Tho most convenient placo for Mr. Holland
heretofore was Commuiilpint Ray, where
materials to complete his Improvements wore
available without being subject to scrutiny
by curious . i>eop)c, but the imbllclty given
to his work has compelled him

Tho recent trials wore not quite satisfactory,
and some Important alterations arc to bo mmlo

tho bow. Tlioro baa been a good deal mode of
the report thot this vessel Is ovun rcmotuly con
nected with tho Fenian movement, and to-day
tho theory was received with much Incredulity.
O Donvan-Ilossa, who appears to bo got-
ting a j good deal of gratuitous advertising
through those dynamite and torpedo plots,
said to-day, In his very mysterious
manner, that he could teb a great deal about tho
torpedo boat, but ho didn't propose to do so ut
this Juncture.
118 IS GETTING LOTS OF MONEY

for tho purpose of •* helping to blow England
out of Ireland." His mall Is dally lllicd with
letters of this description, tho contributions of
Koplo lu all parts of tho country who
mvo more enthusiasm than common sense.
Hlnco tho discovery of dynamite on board
the Canard-Lino steamer ot Liverpool; which
waa supposed to have been shlppcd-by Fenians
In this country, tho transatlantic agents In this
city have been much alarmed regarding tho
shipment of freight to English ports. They say
theyaro exorcising
ALL THE PHKCACTIONS IN THEIR POWER
to avoid similar possible occurrences, and tho
agents in ohnrge of outward-bound freight to
English ports are watching nil packages, espe
cially those shipped by strangers, Uiat might
contain dynamite. At tho otllces of- the nlf
rorout companies on Broadway and Bowling
Oreentho managers of tho companies say this
afternoon that tho recent exposures show
a terrible danger without any possible safe
guard. Mr. Ueorgo Burnlmum, tho agent of tho
Allen line, expressed tho opinion ot all tho
aircntsln regard to the matter this morning.
When questioned by a reporter ho said: "Tho
only way of effectually keeping dynamite off of
tho transatlantic, steamers would- bu to exam
ine every paoitogu and particle of freight ship
ped. This 'ls altogether Impracticable. and
would virtually oloso our freight business."
O’nONOVAN-ROSBA, '
speaking of Ibo alleged Fenian torpedo-boat to*
night, guid: •• Vou see I am closely watched, and
am very probably followed everywhere by spies.
Do you suppose 1 would bo foolish enough to
go and see inu boat, and thus give tho liritish
an opportunity to thwart our plans? t was
not only not to go and sco tho boat, but not
oven to have anything to do with tho Inventor,
or to sen him. Everything was to bo kept a so*
crot until tho bout had sailed, and the English
wore to have learned of her existence only
when she began to destroy their property.’.’
" What was tho cost of building tho boat?*'
Ilossa was asked.
“ Don’t ask about tbo cost," ejaculated Ilossa
with a deep sigh. "It has cost roo enough
money, or rathor it
CUT UKKP INTO TIIR ‘RKIHSIIBUINO ’ FUND.”
" Did you contrlbuto toward tbo coat of build
ing the boat out of tho * skirmishing’ fdnd?”
"Did I, do you ask? T gave llrcslln, Carroll &
Co. fiW.OUO at ono lime, and afterward gave thorn
otnor smaller sums, amounting altogether to
900,DU0, This was out of the-‘skirmishing’
fund. They took the money, and new
they refuse to account to me for
It. Of course I cannot compel them to give me
any account. I could not do It In any court, and
thov themselves will not uucuunt. is tho boat
worth (M),UU)7 Why, no, and to-day sho would
only fetch the price of old Iren, and that would
bo about f.'»,0u0."
" It Is said that you have
LATELY HEOKIVED MONEY
toward tbo ‘skirmishing* fund, Uossa?”
"yes: wlrbln the past two or three days 1
have received about 9300. ana this Is to bo
added to the ‘skirmishing* fund, to bo used
for destroying IlrlUsh property.' I tell
yon there is an Intense feeling among Irishmen
In Ireland and elsewhere to' attack England
everywhere.” . . .
As for ibo Infernal machines that were
flblp|H>d from here to England, and of which
Mr. Archibald, the English Consul-General
In this city, bad been - apprised, Uossa
declared that that was a good Juke
which bad been played on tho .liritish Govern
ment. "Tho whole farce," bn said, "was got up
by nu Irishman who belongs to tho League, but
whoso name 1 cannot give, llq shipped some
harmless material to England, and then pro
tended to net ns informer tntho liritish Gov

and furnished him sullloient proof that tho ship

received 910.000, and was promised *IO,OOO more
when the English police should have seized the
explosive*. Tho material which the irishman
shipped cost about 910, . and' he
gut Just 910.000, whleh . will bo

THE NEW TELEGRAPH.
FORMAL ORGANIZATION OF liKRXK’.S COM*
I’ANV.
Special Diipateh to The Chicago Tribune,
Nr.w York, July as.— James It. Keene’s
now telegraph company, of which mention
was made In these dispatches Inst night, was
formally organized hero to-day with tho elec
tion of Air. Kebne ns President It is be
coming quite the fashion nowa
days for millionaires and promi
nent Wall street operators to control
organizations of this character, and, follow
ing Vanderbilt and Gould, Mr. Keene, who
has won some' notoriety as a manipulator of
wheat corners and a controller of railway
interests, now comes in for Ids share in tho
great telegraphic competition which is sure
to rise up as against tho monopoly
of Uto Western Union Company. That
tho new company Is well provided with
moneyed bucking is evidenced by the names
of some of tho incorporators. For instance,
IN ADDITION TO .MR. KKENE.
Robert W.Mackey, of Bonanza fame; Clcorgo
U. Roberts, the mine manipulator; 11. Vic
tor Newcomb, James O’Brien, alsd
of Bonanza memory, and others,'
Tho stock * 1* chiefly In thd
hands of California, Now York, and 'Boston
capitalists, allhbltgh a considerable portion
•ofit Is ’antd ta-’bo takendn Etiropo.* Tlio
purpose |of “the company is to con
struct a system of telegraph lilies
In tho United States, Canada, and
Mexico, and do a general telegraph
business, tho prospectus promising that lines
equivalent in working capacity to tWpresont
Western Union system shall bo In operation
by Jan. 1, R&i. Thu new company
has recently obtained facilities which
they claim will enabln them to do
this without: interfering with the
rights and patents now held by
tbo Western Union Company. Tho llrat point
obtained by the Keene combination was tho
patents on
A NEW SYSTEM
of automatic and fao-simllo telegraph, tbo
patentee being Mr. W. A. Luggo. TUuso jmtouls
bud been assigned to tbo
Graphic Manufacturing Company, Incorporat
ed Inst October, and tbo price paid
tho latter for exelustvo rights to use tho Luggo
automatic and fao-Slmllo machines Is said to bo
(lUUO.UW). Tho Klcotro-Orapbiedid not propose to
go into general telegraphic business,but will con
tlnuotoporfcct and manufacture tho machines.
By tho autograph system messages can bo sent
at tbo average rule of 2,000 to words a min
ute, while by tho old method twenty-live words
a minute is tbo capacity of instruments. With
proper wire and Instruments lu perfect order
the managers of tho now company say they
have every reason to bollove a rato of
FIVE THOUSAND WOIIUS PER MINUTE
Is practicable. Tho American Rapid Telegraph
Company Is similar to this lu many rcspcuis,
hut practically tbolr speed Is limited to less than.
1,000 words a minute..- At the rata 0f.2,600 words
per mlnuto the newConipanyoau transmit more
words lu u quarter of un hour than can bo sent
by tbo ordinary method In twenty-four hours.
By this moubaulsm'l6o,ooo words ouu bo trans
mitted In au hour over ono wire, and
In n day nearly four' million words. That Is to
say, they cun do more business with one wire
between any two polntstban tho Western Union
cau do with all or theirs. -
THE INBTHUMENT
consists of nn Iron wheel about two feet and a
bulf lu dlametur, with a carefully-turned, Hat
surface. Ono foot broad above this Is nu In

from loft to . right upon a screw,
while (bo largo-wheel turns around slowly
at right angles to tbo movement of the sounder
un tbo screw. Above the screw is u onu of es
pecially-prepared mmlino Ink. An operator
works the sounder ns bo would n Morso instru
ment In sending a message, and. as tho. largo
wheel revolves, the negative of the message he
desires to send) appears In elongated Morse
characters In tbonnaline Ink in parallel linos
around tho periphery of tbo large wheel. The
surface of tho wheel can receive tbo Impress of
&uu words. A message of this length can ho
put on tbo wheel t

tho latter case, the operator emmet tend a mes

wheel at the rate of DO to 100 words per minute,
and while the message Is being written, the
wlrooanbe used In sending other messages.
When a message has been completed on
tho wheel, the Moreo-llko instrument is thrown
back to the starting-point, and the ink-point la
replaced by a metallic button on a long arm
which presses constantly on the wheel. The
wheel and the button nro put in the circuit.
The . largo wheel .is revolved at ■ a
hluh rate of speed,, while tho button
travels from loft to right across tho surface,
keeping constantly on the line of themnratlvo

the present method would take,several hours,

docs not took Hko a Nihilist.—that Is to say, ho

Hartmann was naked 1C bo Intended to take up

‘'No,"'wii9 tbo quick response In French,

no such ImontloD. As- soon us circumstances
will permit I urn fully prepared to return to

*• It Is welt known that the police-agents of
Russia are after you for tho part you have
taken lu many of tbo must violent outcrprlsos
of the Nihilists. Do you not fear arrest on
crossing the Russian frontier, and ura you not
especially exposed to danger from the fact that
you are now publishing to the world tho factof
your Intention to return?"
“I have no such fear," answered Hartmann.
"Wo are supplied with ample menus to bufllo
tho watchlulnossaf Russian spies, and to puss
and ropass the frontier without being known.
Even In Russia Itself wo aro comparatively safe,
for alt classes of tbo population uro on our side,
and .
READY TO CONCEAL VS FROM ALL PURSUIT.
To show you bnw easy it is for one of our party
to elude detection, 1 do nut ml ml tolling-you
that, two weeks ago, after quitting Lon

have visited a Russian town about forty miles
distant from the Gorman frontier. -In Lomlnii
my every stop was dogged by Russian spies. If
caught In Germany I would nave boon arrested
and delivered up to 'the Russian Government.
And yet 1 contrived to pass every
where unobserved and unmolested. Part
of my plan was to create the Im
pression that I bad sailed for America.
For this purpose ono of my friends loft London
-with mo, under tbo name of Hartmann, on board
tho Rotterdam stcamerColaml,and arrived hero
a fortnight ago. This was (bo source of tbo
rumor published by some Now York papers about
my. being In this ally. 1 left the steamer
at Rotterdam, ran up by express to tbo Russian
frontier, and came buck in time to catch one of
the next steamers bound for this point, embark
ing under an assumed name."
"Am 1 to understand, then, that you Intend
keeping up your connection with Nihilism?"
“UNDOUBTEDLY,”.
aald Hartmann, in undetermined tone; "Indeed,
tbo purpose of my Journey Is connected with
our movement. I am come ns delegate of
the Executive Committee of tho Russian
Revolutionary party to .tho pooplu of
tho United Btutoa, and bavo no personal motlvo
whatever In coming hero. I nm tbo bearer of

Whore docs tbo money of tho Nihilists corao
from?" asked tbo Interviewer.
•• Every individual, after becoming a member
of our party, renounces nil rights of property,
and delivers all be possesses to the party. Prom
tbo accounts of former political trials In Kussln,
you can see that wo bad and have still several
very rlob people In bur ranks. Thus tbo ques
tion
WHENCE OUll MONEY COMES •
Is easily solved."
•• Aro Government agents ever active as Ni
hilists, and, If so, bow do you explain It?”
“ Former political trials, os well as recent re
ports, have shown that tbo agents of Nihilism
aro everywhere,—ln tbo army, in the
navy, In all civil departments, even* among
tho solos of tbo secret police. Those agents
are, of- course, notlve Nihilists, as they have en
tered tho service of tho Government only ns

ernment employes who aro oaugbt by the spirit
of tbo tltno, and, seeing • tho horrors
committed by tbo Government tboy

number of Government olDolals secretly Joining
our movement Is the best proof of
THE lIUIEPAIIAULE 1)130110ANIZATION
which has seized on tho official spheres ol
Russia." ••
••Bo you are confident thnttbe Nihilists will
succeed In overthrowing tho Czurdom, and hopo
to gain tho sympathy of tho American people
for rout 1 cause? M . • •

ANOTHER LEAR.
ITlr* Weiss* mistake.
A queer story comes from Now York about a
good old husband who deeded oil bts property to
his wife. Ho was a Gorman, niimod Ocorgo
Wolss. Ho was a tailor and well-to-do. Ills Ots
woro perfect ills charges wore high ©nought©
make hisshop exclusive'.
More than n quarter of a century ago Ur.
Weiss married a pretty girl. Bho was'JusflU,
and ho was quite old ouuugh to bo her father.
Hut ho thought ho was making a good match.
Tbo young lady was certain sbo was making a
good ono. Bans and daughters woro born to Urn
pair,—four sons and two daughters. Tho father
spent great suras of money on choir education.
Tho daughters learned piano-pounding' and high
arc. They oven painted under tbo tflazo, It; Is
said. Tho sons raveled in swallow-tail conta
uua low-cut vests—from tbo homo shop. They
bud now striped trousers and horso-sboo sleeve
buttons uvcry’wook If they wanted them. All
this time their old father was growing older end
more feeble.: Hut tbelr mother remained young
and handsome.. . • •• C.
Finally, lu IBTt, Papa Weiss became too focblo
to work any more. Ills right bond forgot .Its
cunning, and when bo would buvu out out swell
pantaloons bis eyesight deceived him, and ho
nmdo them swell to tho wrong ’place. Ho lost
command over his shears and gooso.
Then ft was bu bethought him that ha did pot
caro about working any more anyhow. Ho bad
houses und lands, and gold galore. “1 will throw
usido tbimblo and neediest" said ho. M 1 will ond
my days In tho bosom of my family. Hence
forth 1 will enjoy onse with -dignity, nt homo
with my beautiful wlfo,'my. aristocratic sons,
and ray llnc-epuu daughters. Tbo breadth ot
my happiness shall bo such chat no measuring
tape can compass It. Tho thickness of Its grain
shall bo such that no shears can snip it off.
Thus ho reasoned. Ho gathered up madamo
and tho children that bad cost him so much
money* and went and dwelt In a lino brown
stone-stone front m Forty-second street. Tho
family, nit but tho old roan, went Into good so
ciety. They wcroHShnmodof tbo old man whoso
money bud given them all this pleasure, though,
and they loft him ot homo. Missing bis accus
tomed shears and measuring tape, be fell Into
brooding, melancholy ways. Finally, having
nothing clsa to do, be became mixed up In a law
suit. At this tlmo bo transferred all uls posses
sions to his wlfu’s name. It wasn’t that bu loved
her so much exactly. It was more because-ho
loved his money so much, and was afraid* of
losiug It.
The lawsuit was decided In his favor. Then
this kind, good husband, who had given every
thing to bis wife, gently but (Irmly-requested
her to baud It over to him ttgaln. Uut what
wouldyou have? 'Madame respectfully declined.
Moreover, the highly-educated children took
sides with their handsome mother. They re
solved to put the old man down systematically.
Ills wife began to scold him day and night,
urging him to go and live somewhere else. They
didn’t want bun banging around their bouse,
they said. ■ ' ,
They persecuted him, nagged, and Insulted
him. They did uoc allow him to cat In ponco the
bread bis monoy bad bought for thorn. He bore
it all meekly, as a well regulated husband should
do. He hoped by gentleness, Sweet temper, and
obedience to win bis wife’s affection baokJuraln.
Hu had probably noticed that .that was bow U
was done In books, lint it didn’t work that War
In real life. It never docs. A Jolly row fs
worth all the meekness in the world, in clearing
up matters. The more sweet-tempered and
obedient Hr. Weiss became the more bis Uno
lady-wife duffed him aoout. Shu happened to re
member about this time that she bad only known
him n week when she married him. She re
membered, too, that she bud beard after she

The old gentleman wont homo at night. . He
unlocked the door with bis little latch-key, but
it wouldn't open. A new bolt had been placed
on the Inside, ills -beautiful wife had duue It to
keep him out. It was ucold night, snow was
falling thick and fast.- Ho rang the front, door
bull. Ho wonted to get In out of the cold. Just
then n window opened above, and some one
called out to him: „
“Booff, you old vagabondl .Wodoatwant
you boro/'
The voice was that of bis oldest son. lie
turned away and walked off In the snow. Ho
never troubled his high-toned family any more
after that. Ho rented a miserable room Inn

living In a feeble way. He shoveled coal and
did errands, and dually opened a wretched little
shop, where ho did tailor work and patching and
mending. Hut the living he made was no mnro
than half starvation. He bad plenty of time to
meditate on the wisdom .of men who deed their
property to their.wives to keep from losing it In
a lawsuit. * . ■ ■ ’ ■ • ,
The hole where bo lived was miserable beyond
description. Ho bad no furniture but a broken
old bedstead oud one or two rickety chairs, lie
was always sad and down-hearted, and reserved
toward people In general. But the children of
his poor neighbors mode groat friends with him.
They used to visit him In bis wretched room,
and he would talk with them by tho hour. ,
At lost the poor old creature's eyesight failed
him, so that bo could out do tailor work any
more. Then be slowly starved. Forwooks.bis
only food was hits of dry bread dipped m stale
beer. Ho became very weak, and fell til. Mean
time one of bis elegant daughters bad married a
wealthy dowu-towu broker. They lived grand
ly, and “occupied oxoellout positions In. metro
politan society/' the newspaper reporter says.
Cue .night old Hr. Weiss' bumble neighbors
saw him on his kuees upon the Hoot, prayliur,
with tears stroamlnu down bis cheeks. Next
morning ho did not matte bis appearance- as
usual. Foarlug bo was worse than usual, they
knocked at the door. There was no answer.
Tbey broke the’door open. All wos silence,
