WHY HE SOLD OUT.
Gath Explains Why Mr. Vanderbilt Retired

grumbles about one man and family owning
too much and ever lodging taxation. This
family is as timid as it is avaricious.
1t is getting, like Hamlet fat and scant
OF breath. Why did the sons buy the
Nlckel-plate railroad except from fear-pos-
sesSlng already two railroads parallel to it?
After they got it probably a diversity of ill.,
terests sprang up between father and sons.
In these very rich families money never
ceases to be the one subject of comparison
and envy. Every son but one has wife.
Every wife is an individual feeling the indig-
nifty of being worth million less than the
next sons wife These wives can say things

Cyclones NIade to Order.


:
For several years Professor Douglas, of
Ann Arbor University has been manufac-
turing them. He does it in a very simple
manner, by suspending a large copper plate
by silken cords, This plate is charged heavily
with electricity, which hangs down like a
bag, underneath, and is rendered visible by
the use OF arsenious acid gas, which gives it
green color. This formation is a miniature
cyclone as perfect as any started in the
clouds; 1t is funnel shaped, and whirls
around rapidly. Passing this plate over a
table, the five-cent cyclone snatches up cop
per cents, pens, pith balls and other objects
and scatters them on all sides. The expert
ment is made often in Ann Arbor, and all
the students are familiar with it. . g..

JUNIUs BRUTUs BOOTH.

Gath's Letter .

Fury of Mob.
Gaths Letter.
In little scrap of conversation 1 gave
with the actor Harry Langdon in your col
umns lately, omitted to say that Mr. Lang
don was playing with Junius Brutus Booth
at the time Mr.. Lincoln was killed by Booths
brother. Mr.. Langdon remarked to me:
II saved Mr.. Booth from walking into the
midst of a crowd at Cincinnati that might
have torn him to pieces. We were stopping
at the same hotel and playing together He
did not think at first that it was his brother
who had killed Mr.. Lincoln. He was about
to go right out into the midst of
the crowd, where he was probably
known to a certain percentage of
the Infatuated people. l saw that he
was transferred from room to room in the
hotel, and as successive dispatches came into
the city and the time progressed, | asked
him if he was now satisfied that his brother
John had killed Mr.. Lincoln. Yes, said he
4 think the evidence is now conclusive that
John did it. We took n walk in Cincinnati
somewhat disguised-that is to saw, we had
slouching hats. He was a good deal affected
and at my suggestion, he gave himself up
when he got to Philadelphia. We went
from Cincinnati direct to Philadelphia. He
was sent to the Old Capitol prison at WASH
ington. / do not think that the brothers of
John Booth had any feelings in common
with him on the Southern question"

who Owns the New York World.

New York Special.
1t is now pretty generally understood in
newspaper circles that the recent so-called
sale of the New York World franchise and
property was no sale at all, but merely re-
ARA ngement of the membership of the press
publishing company, which has owned the
property ever since the time that Colonel
Scott sold out to Mr.. Gould. BY the new ar
rangement there is no change in the owner

\ special meeting OF the City Council
was held last evening, when the report
oI Rudolph tenng on tn" feasibility ut
carrying OFT the sewage of our city,
was read. We have nor space to give
il in full, as it would occupy over three
columns of the RErr BIlrAN. A syn
opsiS, however, may hc found in anot her
column, which will give Il fair idea OF
the proposed work. The entire cost i
estimated at S546, 900, and as the amount
of money required to complete any pro
posed work invariably exceeds the
estimates, We may say full million of
dollars will be required. Another
rs innate, however is given for less
rNtenUrd system, to dcbouch in the
Ga .iS'ianA, at Il cost Of $50, 900, or To
rAt,Md to the Delaware at cost Of
$40, 600. These are nice little sums for
the tax payers of our city to consider.
ihr evil influences Of our present sys-
TEN are not so great AS to require such
heavy expenditure, and on behalf OF
Justice and common SenSr we protest
against it. There are evils that need
r'mcl wing, the cost of which will not
b." great, and yet they are unattended
