MRS. MoRGAN's FORTUNE.

When Charles Morgan, the great
steamship owner, died in New York
City little over six years ago, he left
his wife an estate estimated at fully
50, 900, 900. He was the owner of Nor
gan's Louisiana and Texas Railroad
and Steamship Line, and was a close
listed, If not penurious, old man. who
had known the value of a dollar in his
early days and did not forget it. His
widow, Mrs. Mary Jane Morgan, died
last Summer, and left an estate barely
worth 83,000,000, over which there
promises to be a bitter and protracted
controversy. She had got to be known.
it is alleged, as the most extravagant
woman in New York, and many people
appear to have amassed fortunes by
humoring her eccentric wishes. She
developed, it is said, a craze for paint
ings, antique furniture, costly cera-
mics, fine horses and carriages. and
paid nearly $4,000 for the collection of
orchids which were recently sold at
auction for barely one-tenth of that
sum.
From statement in the Sun, how
ever it seems that Mrs Morgan not
only wished to enjoy her large wealth
to the utmost, but was possessed with
the rare and benevolent desire to see
other people enjoy it as well. The
Rev, DR.. Nathaniel ". Conkling, who
did not, at the time, appear to revel in
worldly possessions to any alarming
extent, preached a sermon over the
cold remains of Mr. Morgan, and in
cidentally struck up an acquaintance
with the widow This, it is said. he
improved upon, and became q frequent
visitor to her house, Offering sympathy
for her great loss She gave him, SO
the story runs, several large sums of
money, bought him the house at So
East Thirty-fourth street. for S52, 900.
paid $45, 600 to have it furnished, sent
himself and his family on a tour across
the continent, and after paying all ex-
penses presented him with further
large sums of money to buy clothes for
the family, for household and other
expenses. But this was not all, for to
insure him enjoyment for the rest of
his life, Mrs. Morgan finally presented
him with $500, ,000in Government bonds.
which he turned into registered bonds
in his own name. These he had car
ried away from Mrs Morgan's house.
Shortly thereafter the benevolent
widow passed into another world.
1t now appears, it is stated, that she
was frequently not in her right mind
on account of the disease from which
she died, a statement which is easy to
believe. Besides her gift to the Rev.
Conkling, Mrs. Morgan dispensed
money right and left, and in very large
sums, for much of which she received
very little, if any, in return. She made
a will leaving the bulk of her great
estate to her clerical friend, but
this cannot be found, and it is thought
she may have destroyed it in some sane
moment. The heirs are now getting
ready to recover the money she gave
away and hence the disclosure The
administrator of the estate is Mr.. Will
liam Mair, the jeweler on the corner of
Twenty-third street and Sixth avenue,
who is fully alive to the responsibilities
of his position and would be glad, he
says, to wipe his hands of the whole
matter if he could.

The scheme of a Washington man is
to establish a School of Politics. He
would supply lot of trained candi-
dates for public office. He wrote to
a hundred eminent men, explaining
his plan, and asking if they would con-
slider direct offer of position in the
undertaking. \ whole month has
elapsed, and he is grieved to report
that he has received only nine replies
of any sort, not one of which encour-
ages him to go ahead. From Samuel
j. Tilden, William NJ. Evarts. John
Kelley, Dorman B. Eaton, and Abram
S. Hewitt he got merely formal ac-
acknowledgements, through secretaries,
of the reception of his epistle Ninety
one gave it no attention whatever.
Carl Schurz facetiously wrote: Your

Il fear that your scheme is rather
Utopian." EXPresident Hayes: "At
all events, the Improvement of office
seekers would be an improvement of
office holders-you are right to that
extent, and nobody will be apt to con
tradict you" Senator Malone: Il

hoped that you will live to see it come
to something" But there was no in

President Cleveland is a Great Man.


1t is beginning to dawn upon that por-
ton of the public whose political perversity
has heretofore blinded it to the fact that
President Cleveland is great man. IL IS
low admitted in Washington that he IS q
bigger man than any Of bis Cabinet officers
and every day brings forth fresh proofs Of
an ability far superior to that which the
public generally has been disposed to
credit him. His ablest advisers are re-
ported TO be continually surprised at new
evidences Of his breadth of mind, wide IN
formation, strong grasp Of every question
calling for consideration, and remarkable
executive force He has already shown an
amount OF intellectual force that easily
places him at the head OF the Administra'
ZION in fact as well as in name, and that
gives the lie to the Republican organs in
his respect as emphsticsllY as his Admin
isiration thus far stamps as false their other
assertion that he would never do anything
toward reforming the civil service.
