robbed were several business places,
principally jewelry stores. To dsy
the police raided Sue Wah's laundr

goods, consisting of diamonds, jew
elry, silks, fur?, sporting goods and
a miscellaneous assortment of goods.
Among the stuff found was over 200
ounces of opium, which had beeti

Elbe has been increased by twenty
According to figures given out yes

however, sailed on British vessel
In reply to a message of sympa
thy from Queen Victoria, the agent
of the North German Lloyd Steam
ship Company at Lowestoft has tel
egraphed to her Majesty saying that
no hopes whatever are entertained
of any more of the passengers or
crew of the steamship Elbe having
been saved.
It became known to day that the
Elbe had on board the body of M
C. Conners, of Dakota, who died re

STATEMENT OF THE CRATHIE 8 CATTAIN
Rotterdam. Feb. 1 Capt Gor
don, of the British steamship Crathie
which is generally admitted to have
been the vessel which ran into and
sunk the Elbe, has made a statement
to Lloyd's agent here in which he
says that he was knocked down by
the force of the collision, aud that
when he regained his feet the ship
were some distance apart and tbt
Crathie so damaged that he expect
ed her to sink at any moment. In
spite of this, Capt. Gordon added,
he followed the other steamer, but
iouud sne went iaster tnan tne
Crathie, and so he thought the ves
eel he collided with was safe.
The Crathie has been sequestered
at this port. Her captain had been
detaiued
I'BOVED A I AI.SE HOPE.
New York, Feb. 1 The custom
of the North German Lloyd Steam
ship Company, to which the steamer
Elbe belonged, of selling tickets in
Europe for passage to America
which may be used on any of their
steamers, gave rise to the hope that
some of the passengers who were
booked to sail .on .the Elbe might
have taken passage on the Ems, of
the same line, which sailed from
Breman on January 22 and arrived
here last night. A comparison of
the names of the Ems" passenger list
however, with those reported on the
Elbe proves the hope to be unfound

"Life is not mere existence,
But the enjoyment of health."
Many times this enjoyment of health depends upon the
Druggist. The best medical attention, the most careful
nursing, will be of little avail, if the medicines be of a
poor quality or combined in an unskillful way. We point
with pardonable pride to our

- We lied the following in the Sioux
City llowa) Journal,being an extract
from an address delivered by a Dr.
Jenkins of that city: Saccess in
achieving wealth is partly the resnlt
J of personal elements, bat partly to
the product of fortuitous circum
stance. Certain moral elements con
tribute to it, but they do not of
themselves insure it. Certain iutel
lectual traits go to make it possible,
but they do not makeitcertaiu. The
idler, the improvident, the self in
dulgent will never thrive, whatever
his chances, but the -industrious, the
economical, the self denying, with
out opportunity, remains a poor
man to the end of his days. It is a
gross injusice to set every unsuccess
ful man down as lacking in the bet
ter elements of manhood, or to exalt
the victorious to niche of a saint.
The fact is that the mj rity of men
must remain poor and cannot help
fail in the ambitions that incite them
Out of 3,G00 adult persons who died
in New York City lately only one-
fourth left estates, and the most of
these were small. Probably nice
tenths of the entire population of
the globe live from ha.nd to mouth
aud if the whole weaitL of the United
States were distributed pro rata we
should have about 05,000,000 citi
zens no one of whom alone would j
have enough capital to own a house
and lot, even in a third rate town.
For at least 1,000 years to come the
population oC the globe will be com
prised of "unsuccessful" men.
But it is a grave mistake to think
that the men who have been enabled
by the combination of personal and
impersonal elements to acquire
wealth are the most blest of earth
He spoke of two brothers whom he
had known, differing widely in fioan
cial circumstance as merchant princ
and western homesteader, iu whose
families wealth wrought untold in
jury, while proverty brought out
character. Happiness could not be
tabulated by t-omparicg bank ac
counts. Many a so called successful
man tosses upon a sleeplees coach
while daily toil takes sweet content
under a battened roof. Herod s
guilty conscience makes him tremble
within his palace while
within bi prisou. TL-e
heaven iii r w . i i r m
stance, but iu
Dr. Jenkiua.tlitn went oa to show
how men eoald mt achieve success.
And the first thiog to be noted was
tbat no man ever achieved a fortune
by throwing up a certainty for un
cetainty. lie had read of a gco-J
many reductions of wages, but he
supposed no class of wage earnerji
iu the United States had had their
income so reduced as the ministers
of churches, but so far as he could
learn none of them had gone a strike.
He did not see how it was possible
for labor to protect itself without
organization.but organization should
be for reason and mutual help rath
er than for war. Wnen it came to
a matter of force the history of every
strike is the same. Thirteen states.
with some hundreds of thousands of
armed meu,organized a strike against
the force of the nation in 1861. Men
who were iu that fight do not need
to be told that when an "industrial
army" without so much as revolver
attempts to "capture" a train, they
can only capture what is Eetout for
them to take. The moment a strike
takes the sword it is doomed. Th&
road t success does not lie in that
way, not until the whole character of
American citizenship is changed.
But, the pastor continued, succeed
i never achieved by E&criScing in
dependence. A mau that cannot wifi
his own way cannot win it by proxy.
A half a million of unemployed inea
can be cared for if scattered through
out 5,000 lommunities; but m.'a
2,000 of then in a city wholly un
provided for such an emergeocy,and
the only one who can be benefited
by such a proceeding is the dema
gogue who having led them into a
position where relief is impossible,
poses now as their "friend."
Let the unsuccessful man remember
that he belongs to the great majori
ty; the msjority that Go J has hon
ored always, and depth of poverty
I did not prevent Jesus Christ from
honor or Lazarus from I'aracKne.
