Samuel j. Tilden has written d letter to the
chairman Of the Democratic State Committee
Of New York, positively declining to run for
President. He closes as follows: At the pres
ent time the consideration which induced my
action IN 1880 have become imperative. J.
ought not to assume task which have not
the physical strength to carry through | am
thel efore constrained to say definitely
that cannot now assume the Iabors of
an administration or of canvass
grateful beyond all words to my fellow coun-
trymen who would assign such beneticent
function to me, | am consoled by the reflection
that neither the Deniocratic party nor the re-
public for whose future that Yarty is the best
guarantee, is now or ever can be, dependent
upon any one man for their successful progress
in the path of a noble destiny. Having given to
their welfare whatever of health and strength
possessed or could borrow from the future,
and having reached the term ofmy capacity for
such labors as their welfare now demands, |
but submit to the will of God in deeming my
public career forever closed.

THE GREASE HOLES.
Something About the Magnitude of Our
Petroleum Product.

There are 10000 producing oil wells
in Pennsylvania, yielding at present
$4,000 barrels of oil day. It requires
5000 miles of pipe line and 900 iron
tanks of an average capacity of $4,000
barrels each to transport and store the
oil and surplus stocks. There are now
nearly $4,000 barrels of oil stored in
the region in tanks. This oil would
make lake more than one mile
square and 10 feet deep.
The money actually invested in
petroleum production since 1860 is es.
timated to be more than 1926, OOO, 900,
of which 5000, 900, 900 was capital from
New York city Since 1880 more than
$4,000 900 has been used in building
iron tanks, and nearly as much in nine
lines, all by one corporation. The
tanks cost on an average $4,000 each.
A 35, 900 barrel tank is 80 feet in di-
ameter and % feet high. There is a
lateral pressure of 5000 pounds on each
square inch of a tank of this size when

annually. The lowest price crude
petroleum ever brought was ten cents
barrel, in 1861. In 1859, when there
was only one well in existence. Colonel
brakes Pioneer at Titusville the price
was $24 barrel Besides the 5000
miles ofpipe line in use in the oil regions,
there are in operation l .20C miles of
trunk pipe line, connecting with Cleve-
land, Pittsburg, Buffalo and New York;
and lines building to Philadelphia and
Baltimore. In the line between Olean
and New York 10000 barrels of oil
are transported daily. These lines
are all the property of the
Standard oil company, except one
between Bradford and Williamsport,
Pa. The Standard employees 100, 900
men. The product of it's refineries re-
quires the making of $4,000 oak barrels
of 40 gallons each and 100, 900 tin cans
holding five gallons each, every day.
The first American petroleum ever ex-
ported was in 1862. Charles Lockart
of Pittsburg sent nearly 600, 900 gallons
to Europe in that year and sold it for
50, 900 less than the cost of transpor-
tation. In 1888 nearly 400 900, 600 gal
Ions were exported, for which $50, ,OOO,-
900 were returned to this country.

A COMFORTABLE FORTUNE.
One ofthe Memphis Men Who Became Sud

Stories Of sudden or miraculous wealth have
always possessed a peculiar fascination for the
masses, and the man who has drawn prize in
q lottery is regarded as the happiest of mortals

terry two Memphis men drew $4,000 each. One
of these was Mr.. B. J. Dorsey, who has been a
foreman of hands at work upon the levees along

the man who had drawn $l5, 900, SO he repaired
to the corner of Main and Jackson streets and
inquired of some children where Dorsey lived
''You mean the man that drew the lottery
prize?" asked one of them
''Yes," replied the reporter.
"He's moved away. He used to live in that
little house over there, but he's going to live in
a fine house in Fort Pickering now"
The reporter greatly marveled and went to
the house pointed out to him, and asked man
there if Dorsey still lived there.
'No," was the reply '.You see he drew
part of the big prize in the Louisiana State
Lottery, and he wants more stylish quarters.
He's got the money and guess he's happy.

"Who is the fatman with the big watcl
seal, who looks at the churches as though
he thought some of putting on $5'

"This is trustee" said the RETURNED

his blindness, knows very little about
the way we do these things.

"he doesn't believe in praying; he is /;

they know that he knows that they

a member OF the church, but he is d
good, clear headed business man, good
manager, on real estate deals, and so hs
is a trustee. Doesn't take very much OF
a Christian to be trustee, except III
the country. In town a church only
wants good business man for trustee
And who is the man who stands III
the door and glares at the people as
they pass i'll and tries to keep them out -
asked the poor heather.
THAT is the SEXTON" replied the
missionary. He dosen't believe in
opening the church for religious service
at all. He saws the church was built tc
have swell weddings in, and that for
preaching and prayer meetings and
other side shows of that nature the
trustees should hire hall"
"Who is the very young man who
pushes people oteN of the way that he
may have more room to pass in, and
stoops very low as he enters the 20 foot
door. and sits directly under the steeple
lest he should strike his head when he
stands up?"
THAT" said the returned missionary
''is the new superintendent of the Sun

there are distinguished strangers pre-
sent, when he has started the wrong

corrected himself by striking the right
tune on key so high that the chimes OF
Normandy couldn't ring second bass to
it; when he has tiunked, fair, square

in his question box, he will know less

Here comes the owner of the church,
the poor heather said "He looks az
though he had decided to make penn
mican of the sexton and trustee, and not
hold any service to-day"
"No, that is not exactly the owner OF
the church," the returned missionary
said: that is the leader of the choir"
Who is that meek, timid little man
who is trying to creep in without letting
the sexton see him, and who has Just
taken off his hat to the leader of the
choir?"
''Oh, that is only the pastor of the
church." the returned missionary
replied tWill you go inside?"
And the poor heather said he would,
because he rather guessed. from their
looks, that the sexton and the leader OF
the choir had made up their minds to
settle that morning which of the two
should take the church and run it.

an order for the murder of Patric
