Last Cry.
A Toronto despatch ettyst: Eli

gather rags and sell newspapers
on the streets, died in the public
ward No. a, aet 'the Generai Hospital
yesterday afternoon, and over $100,-
000 worth of eeriest was found upon
him, represeutIng eecurities in vari-
ous corporations.
Hyman WAS 70 years of age, and
had Mont living in Toronto for
thieteretwe years. For twenty-five
years, until last spring, he lived' on
the charity of the Hebrew Beneve-
'clout Society. Tele members re-
celived some intimation at that time
from a stook broker as to the man's
wealeb, and they, inetituted an en-
sestigation, and as a result the char-
ley ceased, it being provea that be
was. very wealthy.
•file slept lin slied in the rear of
another Hebrew's place on York
etreet, and occupied his time. in ga-
thering rags in the morning, and in
the afternoon sold newspapers, and
it is said, often told tales at his
'sufferings to customers, so work-
ing on tne feelings of eome of them
that donations Of sliver were often
ifertile:sluing,
He gave his name as Henry Zolinski

Ills right name. Ile also went by,the
name of Davis.
Claimed to be Jetstitate.
Last Saturday ho was admitted
to the Hoepital a very Nick man,
Buffering from pneumonia, and pleur-
isy. He seta he was inl destitute cir-
cumstances. He was raggedly dress-
ed, and from tile 'appearance it was
judged that water and lie had been
etrangera for a long time. He saki
he had no money, and that he had
borrow n treet car ticket to
get to the hospital. Rabbi Jacobs, of
577 Clersch ,street, pastor of Holy
• Blossom Synagogue, ho said, was tile
only friend ho had.; The rabbi Was
eent for, and visited Hyman daily.
Deceaeed intimated that lie had
eomething important to tell the Ttab-
bi, and at different times seemed
abott to disclose it, but put it off
until yesterday, when he was ctoo
ss.,eak io make any etatement, though
he made desperate efforts to do so.
His Dying Outcry.
- In his last breaths he gasped out:

Whose Erman entered the hospital
hie had a parcel, which be reeked
tree niters° attending bine to put
away for eafeekeeping. She threw it
into a. bureau drawer, not tanking
that it contained anything of value.
Bulb when It was opened after the
man's death it was found to contain
a large number of securitlee and re-
ceipts. They were in envelopes, all
addressed to Mrs. Sophia Hyman,
Chaachville, Ont., near Streetaville,
She is deceased's widow. The
papers had all been pressed coin-
paetly, so EliS tek for as small a
parcel as poseible. Tisey were wrap..

Winnipeg deepatch : W. M. Whyte,
assistant to President Shaughnessy,
or the C. I?. Ile who returned here
to -day, from Montreal, announced
that the company will undertake
considerable construction in the west.
"West of Meosejasv," said Ur.
Whyte, "the line to the coast isx te
be almost all rebuilt: That In, the
lino is to be more or less changed to
straighten out curves and loosen
grades. The expenditure will be
consiclorable. The early spring will
see n. start of the work.
"The biggest construction scheme
that has been deeided upon," con-
tinued Mr. Whyte, "Is a, new line
that will be built from a point on
the main line between Yorkton and
Prince Albert, westerly one north-
westerly, to a point on the North
Saskatehewan River, in the vicinity
of Battleford, from there to Wetaski-
win on the palgary and Edmonton
lino. Ai line will also be constructed
by the C. P. R, from a, point near
Church bridge to a, point to con-
nect with` the branch to Pleasant
Hills."
The C. P. 11. are now turning a.
great deal or attention to the bring-
ing In of fuel, and Mr. Whyte said
that now that the rush or the grtein
traffic, was over there should be be-
fore long a complete relief from the
fuel scarcity in the west.
"The traffic 'Chia year," said Mr._
Whyte, "has been enormous. The
road has been taxed to its utmost
capacity, and in the last two or three
years has grown greater by 200 or
800 per cent."

As to the /cruelty charged, Mr. jus-

As to the testimony given by stelae

of Devonshire, that outwardly S1r
Charles and Lady Hartopp were on

not prove ,surelr to be the cave, but
simply demonstrated that w hen

THE NEW FAD.
With tbe Increasing demand for
artiques, the supply a memento*
and relics of past generations is
becoming exhausted, and the prices
of genuine pieces 0.1.0 waxing 'higher
and higher, says the New York Tri-
bune. .0111 candlesticks, for exam-
ple, that have had such continuous;
popularity, are scarce, and good
specimens sell for almost stny price

charge.
To tell old brass, copper and
pewter from the modern imitation
requires long experience and a
trained eye. Brass varies much in
color, its glade deperdlng upon the
propertior of copper and zinc used
in, its composition, and oleo on the
hue of the copper employed. Cop-
per itself assumes a variety of
complexions. 'The old Spanish and
Russian copper and brass are botb
peculiarly rich in color, and re-
tain their polish longer than others.
rat the old pieces there is a snide
nose of texture not found in the
sorts made now. This is partly due,
it is staid, tot the natural wear of
the utensils. In some cases, Ouch
as pots, kettles and fireboxes, the
action of heat may be reeponsiele,

may fulfii the law and may be
good citizens, but they will never
ailitutahionr. to the highest type of Man-
hood and womanhood. Duty is only
valuable as it leads te something.
A. Mall and a woman went forth'
Into the world, and both were of
noble birth. And the man's arms
were strong and held his spirit.
"I know my work," said the man*
"and I will do my ditty'. Whatever
ls required of me, In right, that
will I do. According to my streligth
will I labor."
•
And lie made hIghWays in the
world, because it was his duty, and
walked therein and called to others
to follow atter aim. And they came,
rejoicing in the path but they lost
sight ef the pathfitider.
And he succored the weak, be-
cause It was his duty, • and lilted
them up and set them upon their'
feet, 'and they went forward and.
found the way pleasant.
All that the law required, that
clid he, and the world was better
and happier 'because he lived.
When he died, as all men die, his
fellows sald:
"He was a just man, and maw -
abiding. We respect his Memory,
and will tell it to oar calldren." -
But before the grass had grown
green above the grave, his memory
had grown dire and the way he
had made was weed -grown, and
men disputed much concerning it.
The woman who went forth Into
the world with him, was troll. And
she said: "What can. I do? Sorely
there least be a way through this
wildern,ess, but who am 1 that it
should be revealed to me 1"
The law was not sbown to ber, or
it it was, silo understood it not. But
her heart was moved within her, and
when he found :the weak suffering—
even as she suffered—she bound up
their wounds' . and anointed there',
and kissed them upon the forebead.
And she smiled on all she met, and
whispered in hope, "There is a Way,"
so that many who despaired and lay
clown to die, arose and went for-
:ha:dm. 3:nd: her smile showed them
.the way, that ehe hersele knew not
But all the while she went for-
ward anti took Many with her. When the years: had goat) by, the
woman too died and :was laid be-
side the man. And all the people said:
"She told us there was a way, and
went with us in it." -
And the people wept, and Without
knowing what they clic:, told their
children oYer and over again, for
generatiOns and generations, what
the woman had said, and followed
the way 'her simile had shown them.
