A WONDERFUL BANK.
Which Pays Dividends of $50 Per Cent Per
Annum.

The Chemical Bank of New York
city is probably the strongest financial
institution in this country, and. its
prosperity and success have been a
marval in business and financial circles.
a New York letter gives the following
interesting points in reference to this
wonderful moneyed institution:
Ten shares of the Chemical Bank
stock were sold the other day on the
Stock Exchange at So, 600 share, with
out the bi-monthly dividend Of 25 per
cent. This is the highest that this
stock has yet sold for, and it has long
been noted as commanding the highest
premium Of any bank stock in the
world. First National Bank stock
commands $4,000 per share, the Fifth
Avenue Bank $500 per share, the Bank
Of ireland S275 and the Bank of Eng
land $3.50.
The dividends of the Chemical Bank
have for Il long time been at the rate of
) per cent bi-monthly, with an addi-
tional dividend of 10 per cent some
time during the year or an even 100 per
annum. The dividend declared for the
first of March and to be continued
thereafter is 25 per cent bi-monthly, or
$50 per cent per annum. Last year the
bank paid s3,O0O,OOOi in dividends, equal
to the amount Of its capital stock. 1t is
very seldom this valuable stock finds
its way to the market, and then only
in the settlement of some old estate,
and when Il sale takes place it attracts
great attention. John B. Manning was
the purchaser at the sale.
In 1913 or 1911 David Wolfe, the
father of Catherine Wolfe, bought POO
shares of Chemical Bank stock at par,
or for $20,0 To-day that same stock,
at the price commanded, would be
worth S72O,0OO, and has paid more than
81, 900. 600 in dividends since the day it
was purchased.

CLEVELAND'S NEW CHAIR.
It is Made to Order In Boston and Is Beat
tiful and Strong,

Boston, MASS, June 1t is not
often a newspaper man has the honor
Of filling the Presidential chair, but a
Traveller reporter had that privilege
yesterday. That is to say, he sat in the
new office chair that is soon to be occu-
pied by President Cleveland in the
Executive Mansion at Washington. 1t
would hardly be proper to say that the
reporter filled it, for it is very large
chair, as benefits the 2S0-pound Presi-
dent of this great nation.
The chair was made to the order Of
Mr.. Cleveland by Messrs White, Hol-
man & Co, of this city. 1t is a massive
swivel and tilt-back structure ofquarter-
ed oak and cane, its total weight being
lXty-two pounds. The seat and back
are square in shape and are made of the
very finest quality of cane. The former
is twenty-three inches wide between
the arms and the latter is thirty-ivc
inches high. The general design OF the
chair is antique, and the legs, arms and
framework are elegantly carved in fern
and other patterns. The oak is highly
polished, and the whole effect is one of
great finish and beauty. Aside from its
elegance the remarkable width and
height of the chair are its distinguish
ing characteristics. 1t took a month to
complete it, and the cost will, of course,
be quite heavy. Some LOO feet of the
finest cane were usedin its sconstruction.
The arm-pieces are broad and set on
carved spindles. 1t was made from
original designs, and the measurements
were furnished by Mr.. Cleveland. Bos-
ton workmanship has constructed fur
niture for Kings as well as Presidents

RIVES-CHASLER.
The Marriage of the Authoress and Mil
ionaire Comes Off Privately and
Rather Unexpectedly at the Brides
Ancestral Home.
Especial from New and Courier.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, June H.
Miss Amelie Rivcs, the authoress of
"The Quick and the Dead'' and other
works that have recently attracted
attention in the literary world,
was married this afternoon. The
groom is Mr. John Armstrong Chandler,
of New York, a wealthy grandson Of
John Jacob AstOr.
The anticipation of the time for this
event as at first arranged caused great
deal Of surprise in social circles. Some
weeks ago it was auth0rltatively an
nounced that the marriage of this cou-
pie would take place early in the fall.
The sensational stories of newspapers
and prosecutions from this source de-
tcrmined Mr.. Chandler and his fiance
upon an immediate and strictly private
marriage. The license was procured
from the county clerk here on Monday,
and that official was bound to secrecy.
The matter, however, leaked out, and
for the past three days society about
here has been in futter of expectancy
to learn when the wedding was to
come off.
At2 o'clock this afternoon in the
spacious drawing room Of Castle Hill,
the home Of the brides parents, Amelie
Rivcs and John Armstrong Chandler
were married. The persons present
were Mrs. Rivcs, the mother of the fair
writer ofwcird stories, Misses Gertrude
and Daisy, her sisters, an uncle, Mr..
VIM. Cabcll Rives, of Boston, who gave
the bride away, Miss Lou Pleasants,
OF Richmond, and several cousins.
The brides gown was white silk, cut
high in the neck with long sleeves.
She wore diamond ornaments. The
sisters also wore white and the mother
was attircd in black.
The ceremony was very simple and
was performed by the Rev. Mr.. Good
wyn, the rector Of the little Episcopal
Church three miles away from Castle
Hill, where the bride ha- worshipped
since her early childhood The ring
was not omitted in the cerem onials.
The only absent link in the happy,
bright family circle was the father of
the bride, Cola. G. Rives. This gentle
man is in Panama, where he is en-
gagged as general manager of a railroad
project. His presence at home on this
interesting occasion was almost impos-
sible. A cablegram portrayed the
scene to him. After the brief ceremony
the guests sat dowa to a bounteous din
ner, many of the dishes of which were
prepared in the old ante-bcllum South
ern style, now almost unknown.
The young married couple will spend
their honeymoon beneath the brides
ancestral roof. This is a spot to which
the little lady clings with the tenderest
affection. After remaining there a
few weeks Mr.. and Mrs. Chandler will
probably sail for Paris, where they will
make their future home.

GRESHAM'S ATLANTA WOUND.
How the Possible Republican y Sominee Fell
Near Atlanta.
philadelphia Press.

In the spring Of 1864 Gresham was
relieved from duty at Natchez and
ordered to the commond of division
in the Seventeenth corps of the Army
of the Tennessee, to take part in Sher-
mans campaign against Atlanta. Cen
eral J. Z. Mcpherson commanded the
army and General Francis P. Blair the
corps, and with both Gresham became
favorite officer He was at the head
of his division in the battle of Kenne-
saw mountain and in all the engage
ments until the army arrived in front
of Atlanta. Then, in the battle of
Leggett's hill, July 20, 1864; he was
riding in advance of bis men with a
view Of locating position for a battery.
AS he halted on an eminence and
raised his field-glasses to his eyes his
tall figure attracted the attention of the
Confederate sharp-shooters, and he fell
with bullet below the knee. The
limp which yet affects his walk is a
result Of that wound. Mcpherson gave
his personal attention to his transpor-
tation to the nearest railway station,
where he laid several days before train
started for the North. Placed them in
a. freight car at night, the light of a
lantern revealed near MIN a long box.
over which two soldiers We're standing
guard. It contained the corpse of Nc
Pherson, who had been killed the day
after they separated. Gresham was
taken to his home at New Albany,
where for more than year he lay
prone upon his back, nursed by his
faithful wife. Several times the sur
geons thought the limb should be am
putated and so advised, but just as
often the General objected. He saved
the leg, but was compelled to go on
crutches for several years.

GRANTS LUCK.
How the Hero Narrowly Escaped Selling
His Book for $4,000.
[From the Chicago Times. ]

From the Chicago Times.
Leonard SWEET told an interesting
story the other day illustrative of Gen
eral Grants traditional good luck, as
we'll as his lack of what is called shrewd-
ness in commercial dealings. When
Grant was engaged in writing his
memoirs the Century company, which
had been publishing some of his war
articles in the Century Magazine,
offered him $4,000 for the manuscript
of his book. Webster, the publisher,
also had his eye on the alert for the
forthcoming work, and one day called
on the general to inquire about it,
Grant was seated at his desk, about to
attach his signature to the Century COM
pany's contract, which lay before him.
1t had apparently never occurred to
him to ask more for his literary pro-
ductioD. Webster intimated that he
would like to make an offer.
"1f it would not be impertinant," he
said, II would like to inquire how
much the Century company agrees to
pay you?"
"Ten thousand dollars" General
Grant said.
"Then T wouldn't sign that contract
just yet" said Webster.
"Why not?"
Because I will pay you s50,00o."
General Grant opened his eyes in
amaZement. It had not occurred to
him to set so high a value on his work,
he had not thought of dickering beyond
the first order. But he did noS sign
the contract.
Afterward Mark Twain, Webster's
relative and business partner, called
and told the general that none Of the
publishers had offered him what his
manuscript was worth. II will give
you 100000 and royalty" he said.
So Webster & Co. became Grants pub
fishers. The firm has grown rich out
of Grants book and Grants family has
been paid overS5OO,O0O.

The Question of State Railways.
Atlanta Constitution. I

Not satisfied with the ownership ofail
the telegraph lines in the kingdom, the
British government is now seriously
considering the expediency ofpurchas-
ing a1l the railways.
The points made in favor OF the
scheme show that under the existing
system of private ownership English
railways are both expensive and op-
pressive. Transportation charges are
about eighty-fve per cent higher than
they arc in Belgium, where the govern
ment owns nearly all of the railways,
and about sixty per cent higher than
those of Germany, another country
where state ownership is the rule. The
terminal charges, also, in England are
about double those of the other coun-
tries mentioned. 1t is, therefore, claim
ed that the purchase Of the railways by
the British government would enable
the authorities to prescribe system of
lower and more equal rates, to the
manifest advantage of the commerce
- !e::5:'%S-.t}ssssttry Of the country.
On the other hand, the opponents Of
the proposed change say that the peo-
pie would merely be substituting one
burden for another. 1t would cost six
billion dollars to buy the railroads, and
this sum borrowed 1T three per cent
would increase the annual amount rails
ed by taxation fully one hundred and
eighty million dollars. Under the
expected reduction in charges the net
earnings of the roads would not pay
this money into the treasury, nor any
considerable part of it. 1t is also charg-
ed that Oh the continent, under the
state system of ownership, there is 4
strong disinclination to adopt any
modern improvements and new inven-
tions. Red tape dominates the whole
thing, and the government officials are
satisfied to run their railways from
generation to generation without at
tempting to improve them.
The remedy for the transportation
evils in England has been suggested by
several thoughtful students Of the
problem. 1t is simply to build COM
peting lines, and a good many Of them,
and leave them under the control Of
private ownership. Doubtless, this is
the best suggestion that has been made.
The only thing that will effectually
smash railway monopoly is competi-
ton, and private enterprise may be
| trusted to build new railways whenever
and wherever there is tempting de-
mand for them. 1t is almost unneces-
sary to say that this view of the rail
way situation across the water is very
largely applicable to the transportation
question in the United States.

Emperor William bequeathed to the
Hall of Glory at Berlin the sword
which he carried from 1910 to 1884; the
sword he carried in the battle of
KoeniggraetZ, July 81 1866, and all
through the Austrian and Franco-Ger-

of the principal battles engraved upon
it:the sword carried by him on paradcs;
the sword inherited from his brother,
King Frederick William "; all his
decorations for military merit, together
with the presents received on his mill
tary jubileeS, and his gold and silver
laurel wreaths; and finally, the sword
carried by his father in the unlucky
davs Of 1906 and during the Napoleonic
wars, which during the Emperor's
lifetime always stood by his writing
desk in the historic corner room of the
ROYAL Palace. As 4 souvenir the
Lichterfelde corps Of cadets received the
sword presented to the Emperor at St.
Petersburg in 1884, and carried by him
until the morning Of the day of
Koeniggraetz. Finally, the Emperor
ordered the uniforms Of all the regi-
ments Of which he was the honorary
commander to be distributed to the
respective regiments.

STANFORD'S UNIVERSITY.
Its Objects a. Explained by the Senator
Himself.

Just before Senator Stanford left
Washington city for Europe he express
ed himself as follows with respect to
the objects and purposes Of the Leland
Stanford, Jr., University Of California:
Generally the objects of the institu-
ton are set forth in the articles OF ell
dowment, but there are, Of course,
minutie not set forth in them. may
say that propose that the institution
shall have steadily in aim the possibili-
ties of humanity and how to realize
them. In this institution | desire that
the students shall be made to appreciate
the evil consequences Of the liquor
traffic. There are probably i'll Califor-
Fla to-day more adult males engaged
in selling distilled liquors than there
are engaged in tilling the soil, and ain
satisfied, taking the country at large,
that with the waste Of time of the num-
ber OF people engaged in the selling, and
the waste consequent by The consumers,
there is Il loss to the country il general
fully equal to 25 per cent. of the power
OF production. | want the education OF
the students to be such as shall give
them realizing sense of the lmpor-
tance Of temperance. I desire every
student to have the opportunity prac-
tically TO learn how to cultivate the soil
for every branch of agriculture. Par
ticular attention will be given to CO
operation.
want in this school that one sex
shall have equal advantages with the
other, and want particularly that
the women shall have open to them
every employment suitable to their sex.
believe by doing so that they will be
stronger physically and mentally and
better fitted for wives and mothers,
and I believe that if the vocations OF
life are thrown open to them, without
their engaging in anything unsuitable
to their sex, they can add another 25
per cent. to the power of production
to the country, and this will 60 far to-
ward realizing the possibility of giving
comfort and elegance to all.
AS I desire this institution to deal
particularly with the welfare Of the
masses it will be open to the poor as
we'll as the rich, and the price Of tut
ton will he so moderate as to be within
the reach of most people. The few very
rich can get their education anywhere.
They are welcome to this institution il
they will come, but the object is more
particularly to reach the multitude and
the people who have to consider the
expenditure of every dollar. --
The hope is to care for orphans they
may be sent there, provided for COM
fortably, and will be looked after.
Free scholarships will be provided fol
meritorious young people who are un-
able to pay for their education, andsu
students will be given an opportunity
to earn money to help them through
their college course. There will be a
machine shop and department to en-
courage inventions. Religious teach
ings will be provided for, but sectarian-
ism will be prohibited.
