worthy and public Institutions. He
vas the mysterious gentleman who
through Prof. Ward, bestowed $780,
300 upon the University of Virgin
ia at Monticello. It was also he
who gave $4,000 to the Rochester
City Hospital last year, and the I'M
known friend who would not allow
his name to be made public. who
gave $4,000 to st. Mary's Hospital.
In similar manner he also gave
secretly $4,000 to the Industrial
School and $4,000 to the Female
Charitable Society. He thus carried
out the Scripture injunction-"But
when thou doest aims, let not thy
left hand know what thy right hand
doeth, that thine aims may be in Sc
cret." His gifts to the Virginia Unit
versity were induced by his desire to
commemorate the home of Jefferson,
who was friend of his family.

Gambling.

The finished gambler has no heart.
The club with which he herds, would
meet. though the place of rendezv-
Gus were the chamber of the dying;
they would meet though it we're an
apartment in the charnel house. Not
even the death of kindred can affect
the gambler. He would play upon
his brothers coffin; he would play
upon his fathers sepulchre.
Yonder see that wretch, prema-
turely old in infrmity, as we'll as
sin. He Is the father of a family.
The mother of his children, lovely
in her tears, strives with the ten
derest assiduit;es, to restore his
temperance, his love Of home, and
the long lost charms of domestic
life. She pursues him, with her en-
treaties, to his haunts Of vice; she
reminds him of his children; she
tells him Of their virtues; of their
sorrows; of their wants and she ad-
jures him, by the love of them, and
by the love of God, to repent, and
return. Vain attempt! she might
as well adjure the whirlwind she
might as well intreat the tiger.
The brute has no feeling left. He
turns upon her in the spirit of the
demons with which he is possessed.
He curses his children, and her who
bore them; and as he prosecutes his
his game, he fills the intervals with
imprecations on his Maker; impre-
cations borrowed from the dialect of
devils, and hatred with tone that
BELTS only the organs of the damn
ed And yet in this monster, there
once dwelt the spirit of q man. He
had talents, be had honor, he had
even faith. He might have adorn-
ed the senate, the bar, the altar.
But alas his was a faith that saveth
not. The gaming table has robbed
him Of it, and of all things else that
are worth possessing. What a
frightful change of character What
u tremendous wreck is the soul of
man in ruins Return, disconsoIate
mother, to thy dwelling, and be
submissive; thou shalt become a
widow, and thy children fatherless.
Further efforts will be useless. God
has forsaken him-nor will angels
weep or watch over him any long

Lewis Brooks. who has for more
than fifty years been q resident of
Rochester, but who of late years has
not been very well known to the
public, died very suddenly last Thurs
day evening at the Osborn House,
which has been his home for the
past ST xteen years. He was born in
New Milford, Conn.,. and came to
this city in 1922, at the time being,
it was thought, about 20 years or
age. If this be correct. his age at
the time of his death was 81 years.
Mr.. Brooks was Of a very modest
and retiring disposition, and that is
one reason why he was so little
known during the last few years to
the general public. He first went
into business here in the manufac-
ture of wooden cloth, and afterward
became merchant, doing business
in store west ofthe prese ut Arcade
entrance. Forty years ago he retir.
ed from active business, and since
then has been engaged merely Ia

estate. Being unmarried. and hav-

ter half of farmer on the road that
he was Count who was travelling
through the country in this humble
way seeking true heart which he
might win and take back with him
to share in the revenues of his i'm
mence estates in Italy. He begged
that she wouldn't mention the fact,
as it might interfere with his cherish
ed plan of being loved for himself
alone. She promised not to say a
word about it, and invited the Count
to stop with them all night, giving
him the best bed in the house and
the seat nearest the beefstake at
the supper table.
The meal was quite a revelation
to her in the matter of the table
habits of the nobility of Europe but
the discovery she made in the morn
ing was still a greater eye-opener.
His lordship had departed in the
small hours, taking with him. pro-

larger portions of the bed linen, the
farmers best boots, an old horse
pistol and half a ham. lie left
a dirty, scrawling misspelled note
stating that he must away, as his
passionate longing for the true heart
of which he was ever in search would
not let him rest until they were
united. The farmer loaded his
shotgun. took the road. and was
gone two days. but didn't find the
Count. He must have gone back to

How a Conductor got his Fare.

The Middletown Press gives the
following incident in connection
with the duties of popular con-
ductor on the Erie railway: ''Con
ductor James Tinney, on leaving
Jersey City recently, found a pass

baby in her arms, who refused to
pay her fare. Not wishing to put
her off the train between two sta
tions, being too gallant a man for
that, he allowed her to ride to

got of, aud in assisting her to alight
Conductor Tinney got possession of
the baby. He tucked the juvenile
under his arm and notified the wo.
man that when she had paid her
fare she could have the baby and

Tinney started for the depot. The
woman pursued him. pocketbook in
hand, and finally paid her fare, re-
ceiving in return the baby. On
opening her pocket-book it was
seen that she had plenty of money,
and her conduct therefore was mex

arises, what would Mr.. Tinney have
done ifthe mother had declined to
pay and walked off leaving the baby

A letter from Cairo corrects some
absurd mistakes made in a late ac-
count OF the family life of the Khe.
dive. 1t was said he had but three
sons, and that the middle one dis
dained hfs little brother and detes-
ted the big. Moreover, that he was
likely to bring himself into trouble
through bis passion for one Of the
artists Of his fathers French theater.
The Khedive says the writer, has
many more than three sons. Heav-
en- in its munifcence has made him
very frequently a father. The Prin-
ces Tewfick, Hussem and Hassam,
the three young men in question, are
merely his eldest. The first is the
heir. He has been well educated,
and he speaks Arabic, Turkish, Per-
sian, French and English, with al
most equal facility. Hussem was
brought up in Paris. yet, strange to
say, he has no unqualified admiration
for actresses, and he has always
been on the best OF terms with his
brothers-the two and all the rest.
It was the artistic that loved him,
not he the artiste-Mme. de Sienne.
She was a member of his fathers
company at the time Of the opening
of the canal. and from the first mo-
ment she met the Prince she gave
him every opportunity Of making a
fool of himself, but nc persistentIy
declined. There was no heroism in
his coldness he simply liked his
cousin better, and be has since made
her his wife. Nine. de Sienne tried
smiles, glances, fainting fits, but
he was adamant to all.
