CANNOT HAVE a YACHT.
A Wan with "A Fortune Unable TO Spend
His Own Money.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. S.-Arthur Padelford, a
young man of this city, whose estate is worth
$780, 900, asked the court to allow him to invest
$4,000 of his own money in the purchase of
yacht, and was regretfully refused. Padelford
is about % years old and unmarried. His in
come is about $4,000. He, himself, had put
the estate in trust, so that he might be less
vulnerable to the temptations which beset
young men about town with large fortunes and
nothing to do. His health is failing, and his
physician advised him to be as much at sea as
possible. He was permitted, by the terms of
the trust, to build house in this city and an
other at Newport, but as he had not married
and did not contemplate marriage, he did not
wish to be buTdened with the establishments
and did not set them up.
The cost of keeping yacht, the petition set
out, would be about 5000 year, and the
whole cost of living upon the sea would be
much less, he said, than the expense of fash
ionable life on land. The court regretted that
it had not the authority, under the terms of
the trust, to grant the petition.

Important to all who use Betting,
We have just patented new article In Rubber
Betting which is sold under the name Of
GIANT BETTING.

This Betting is made up with the usual plies of
side cover, it is stitched in seams one inch apart
with cotton cord which has pulling strength of
fifty pounds. 1t is then stretched in its plastic
state, drawing the plies so close together. that
with the strong cord with which tits stitched mate
rial strength is added to the belt and the stitches
SO drawn into the plastic rubber that they can
not wear off on the outside. The outside cover is
the case of Rubber Betting made in the ordinary
way, and the plies being firmly stitched, as well
ictioned together that the belt cannot separate
many belts made in the old way will, after beirg
used for time, especially when run at a great
speed or in damp places.
We particularly call the attention Of all Mill own
to this Belt being in the end the cheapest belt
they can buy, while the first cost is only about ten
per cent more than betting made in the ordinary
way. We believe it wM wear more than double the
length of time. For heavy main belts you will find
1t superior to anything made. 1t is also superior for
Endless Belts, as we stitch the splice in such
way that it cannot separate.
Try Our Giant Belt. We will Warrant
Satisfaction.

Words of wisdom.

It's better TO wear out than 10 rust
out.
What shadows we are, and what shad-
ows we pursue.
True wisdom, in general, consists in
energetic determination.
Be a lamp IN the chamber If you
cannot be a star in the sky.
1t is living twice to be able to ENJOY
the past portion Of life.
There is a certain dignity to be kept
up in pleasure as in business.
The one prudence in life is concen-
tration; the one evil is dissipation.
There is one art of which every man
should be master-the art Of reduc-
tion.
Justice is the beginning of political
equality, but brotherly love is the com.
pleton oft.
Character IS higher than intellect. A
grea! soul will be strong to live as well
as to think.
Nature has written letter Of credit
on some mems faces which is honored
everywhere it is presented.
Have the courage to acknowledge
your ignorance rather than seek fol-
knowledge under false pretense.
Instruction does not prevent waste ol
time or mistakes; and mistakes them
selves are often the best teachers of all
Keep your promise to the letter, be
prompt and exact. and it will save you
much trouble and care through life, and
win you the respect and trust Of youl

Who has not suffered does not guess
What pleasure is. Wbo has not groped
In depths Of doubt and hopelessneSs
Has never truly hoped.
Unless, sometimes, a shadow falls
Upon his mrth, and wells his sight,
And from the darkness drifts the light
Oflove at intervals.
And that most dear of everything

With lightest heart and laugh and sing
Knows not the worth of it.
Unless,'ln some strange throng, perchance,
He feels how thrilling sweet it is,
One yearning look that answers his
The troth Of glance and glance.
Who knows not pain, knows not alas!
What pleasure is. Who knows not of
