one OF tile strangest forms o fpoverty
IS when as.nan becomes "%land-poor." I
nave kne ,wn a number of such instances,
the Latest being John H. Dean, the real
estate magnate of Harlem. Had his
property been one-third its present ex-
tent he would have been worth q half
million. AS it is, however, he is a bank
rv.pt, reminding one of tho lessons
taught SO long ago by Pope:
Q Sons of earth! Attempt We still to rise,
BY mountains piled on mountains to the skies;
Heaven still with laughter the vain toll surveys
And buras madmeni in the heaps they raise.
Deans first operations were highly
successful He bought land at Harlem
and erected houses which found ready
sale ats large profit This led to an
extension of business, and then we have
the Old story repeatad-embarrassment,
and "a long struggle, ending in failure.
Mep. who run to extremes often find
themselves ruined before they know it,
aud a number of real-estate magnates
have shared this fate. One of the most
remarkable was the late Samuel B. Rug
giles, who at II time was the largest
property holder in Union square. He
built the Clarendon House and ought to
have been a millionaire. Instead of
that, however, he only became "land-
poor" and died a bankrupt. Another
case was that Of ayoung man whom I
first knew as a clerk, and I we'll remem-
Der the day when he told of his good
fortune in getting a situation in a bank.
He was ente1prising and thrifty and
gradually became a dealer in real es-
tate. His plan was to purchase by Civ
ing heavy mo rtgages, and then sell as
opportunity occurred. This worked
we'll while business was good, and he
was at II titue worth a quarter of q
million. Then came a revolution and
he became ''landtpoor," ending as usu-
al, in failure, reminding one again of

Cured at Scarborough. A large quantity Of

with somptoms of poisoning. One man has
died, and three others are reported as in q dy-

The Blind Pool Game In Washington.

Congressman Horn of Michigan, Milliken of
Maine, andnumerous other statesmen who have
so far kept their names out of the papers,
together with three or four hundred de-
partment clerks, are sadly lamenting the de-
parture of a friend named George H. Lewis.
He left this locality very suddenly and unex-
pectedly last Sunday, and his present where
abouts are unknown. There is no anxiety
f for his we If te',a h . v af as he is ae considered IS cred
supplied with means. Two or three hundred
thousand dollars were deposited with
him by the aforesaid officials as mar
gins, and with this money Mr.. Lewis operated
in oil. He did business on the blind pool plan,
and for the first few months he paid amazing
profits to the members of his 'ssyndicates," as
he called them, and there was nothing around
Washington that offered such great advantages
to investors as Mr. Lewis blind pools. Men
and women put all the money they fad or could
borrow into his hands, and when he thought he
had skinned the town." Mr. Lewis skipped.
There are q large number of army and navy
officers who miss their friend sincerely, to the
extent of from $500 to $4,000.
