A PHILADELPHIA s HSATI0N-THE
MAN WHO INHERITED $4,000, 900.

There has been sudden explosion in
our higher lite circles-an explosion
that has caused disaster disMay, and
grief. Some few weeks ago the an
nouncement appeared that young
man who Tor three years prior had been
serving the guests OF \ Harrisburg ho-
tai with tripe and Drowned tishballs had
fallen heir to an immense fortune.
Discardlng the towel the apron and
dispelllng that air Of seryiie submission
which all thoroughly -instrueted wait
ers are supposed to possess, he launch.
ed out into car er OF fashionable ex-
citemcnt and tlirtstiou. He came to
this city. The report spread quickly
of the fortune which by the death OF ain
aunt in England he had fallen heir to
and gossip passed 1t from mouth to
sanction that he was the lucky posses
sor of 76,000,0O0. To authenticate all
this he would show what appeared to
be true and faithful transcripts of thr
will deeds &C., of this great estate.
He became intimate with our Market
Street merchants. Possessing the
open sesame cheek aud money he found
no difficulty in creeping into fash.ena-
BILE society and then springing up as 4
real dndisguised lion.
A certain West Philadelphia con-
gresham detailed his coaci-and-two

manager of our charitable institutions

case out OF the hands OF the court and
jury by inflieting a sudden aud terri
Bile punt >hment oil the young man who
had robbed her of virtuOus name.
Several hours before the tragic scene
IN cotirt-roonl The young lady in ques-
ton had procured at one of our drug
stores a quantity of suphuric acid,
which she put into common tin Guy,
and carefully concealed the same under
her shawl. She look chair inside the
bar with her attorneys, aud when her
betrayer came into her presence she
motiOned him to come to her. and when
he had reached the proper distance she
threw the contents Of the cup at him
intending to strike him in the face, but
a he lodged the greater portion Of the
acid was received on his head. This
scene created quite buzz in the court
room. Lawyers in the vicinity of the
affair had their broadcloth ruined, for
wherever the acih touched, u brilliant
scarle, Was produced. The young lady
was Immediately arrested and sent to

TIE MIGRATION OF NEGROES TO THE
SOUTH

The State Journal has an Interesting
article relstive to the gains and losses
10 communities, based upon emigration
and removals. The average, per capita,
value OF each foreign emigrant to the
section in which he locates is put down
nj 1915. that being about the cost to
raise and support from pupiiage to adult
age. The cost is less shan that proba-
bly, Tor \ coiored person, but it is a low
estimate to suppose that each able bod
led colorcd man or woman who leaves
our Stale for the South, represents a
value OF at least $3.50 distracted from
the wealth of the State.
The hundreds of colored persons who
have left Virginia within the lastthree
months are as so much capital abstract
ed from the general wealth; and whilst
we would have reason to rejoice at the
removal of some of the bad characters,
1t is noticeable that the thrifty and Iru-
gal usually leave, whilst the idle, the
vicious and the dissolute remain.
The estimates of cost and value are
probably correct, having been the re-
suit OF careful examination on the part
OF officers of emigration at the port OF
New York. These statistics very clear
" demonstrate the sources Of wealth
foreign emigration have been to the
States North and West. The average
amount Of property brought by each
emigrant into the country is about $3.50.
We are told by the journal that the
officers OF emigration have also sscer-
famed, from all the data :hcy could col
leot from the economy of life at home,
that the rearing of each individual costs
the country OIL an average, about 81 $50
for each male youth in attaining to adj
0lescensc, and about 5000 each ior fe-
males; making all average Tor 10th sex
es OF 1915. Add to this average the av-
erage value OF the money and property
brought TO the country by each foreign
cmigrant, and the result was the de
mOnslrstion, that each emigrant added |
Si,l25 to the wealth OF the country
This for 100000 emigrants arriving at
the Nerth, is equivalent to three hum
dred aud thirty seven -and-a-half nIl-
lions OF dollars per annnm; and in ten
years ADDS greater wealth to the North
than the cost OF the war measured by
the national debt.
- ach facts as these disclose at once
the loss Virginia sustains, in every re-
movaI, be tie party, white or black, and
lt is because of this that we would de-
