The Jealousness Of Two Millionaires.

The jealousneSs OF Two Millionaires.
Cleveland Letter.
speaking of the jealousness of rich
men, there are two Standard Oil Million
aires in Cleveland who strive to outdo
each other. These are Sam Andrews and
John Rockefeller. They both started to
gether, but Rockefeller 10 the richer and
he beats Andrews more than half the
time. First Rockefeller built a new
house and Andrews put up bigger one.
Robafeller bought country seat; An
drews bought another. Rockefeller be-
came president of tue Standard Oil
Company and Andrews grew jealous OF
his authority. He called one day at the
Offices Of the company in Cleveland and
told Rockefeller that he wanted to look
at the books. Rockefeller put him of
and told him to call again. He did call
and was handed a statement which Rock
afeller had caused to be made out for
him. He gruntsd as he looked at it and
said: This il not what l wanted, Mr.
Rockefeller. am stockholdar of the
Standard Oil Company and 1 want to see
its books. If can't see them the sooner
| sell my stock the better"
What will you take for your stock,
Mr.. Andrews?" said Rockefeller.
Andrews thought minute and then
said: You can have it for just 81 900, DOC
cash"
l don't suppose he had any idea that
Rockefeller would acc' pit it, and he prob
ably overstated the value of his stock
But Rockefeller Is not man to be bluffed.
He took down his check book. wrote out
check for 100000, signed it aud
handed it to Andrews, saying: st is a
sale" Andrews was too proud not &c
accept the check, and he had, SO one OF
his friends who told me the above story,
great trouble in reinvesting his money.

BILE operation was performed on the little
son Of Joseph Dowar'l, proprietor or the
Salisbury Marble Works, by DIR. q. IL.
Caniwcll. Of Wilmington. Del. one day
last week For some time past the boy
had been troubled with rcs,lcssncss
which could not be accounted for, aud nj
night he would awake his parents by the
most fearful shrciks, Medicine was given
for the removal of tape worms. and the
boy was relieved of tape worm mcasur.
ing eighteen feet. Still his rcstlcssness
did not cease, and he was taken To viii
mington. where the surgeon took from
the boys stomach seven reptiles rcscm.
bling scorpions. Some al them were dead
aud some alive. others having been killed
by the use of electricity. The reptiles are
about n large MS the end Of the thumb of
man and about an inch long. They are
perfectly formed and have the usual head
AMI tail Of the scorpion. When taken out
they were fastened IN To huge tape
worm. Physicians say there is no such
case on record The largest of the rep
tiles Is on exhibition at dnig store IN
Wilmington. The boy seemed much i'm.

The doctors cannot account for the ap.

Of delegates will be between $50 aud $40.
Conference will be asked to either abol.
ish or enlarge the Virginia district, which
was created a year ago and which has but
eight appointments. The district is a
subject of much dissatisfaction because II

0tlessians misunderstood his reply to their
invitation when they interpreted il as an

him and they refused TO do so, preierring
to lay his letter before conference and let
the Bishop decide the contention.
