GIFTS FOR EDUCATION.
What Rich Men Have Done for the o"o'0
of Higher Culture.

| of Higher Culture.
1t may interest some to kno" "ha' I"
few rich men have done for the cause
of education. Senator Leland Stan1oro
has given a vast estate, amounting w
$40, 0O0,O 900, to found a university III
California in memory of his deceased
son. Johns Hopkins gave $3, l4o, ooo
to the university which bears his name.
His gifts for benevolent purposes
amounted to $8,OOO,O0O. Asa Packer
gave $1,000, 900 to Lehigh University.
Cornelius Vanderbilt gave 81, 100000 to
the Vanderbilt University, to which
William H. Vanderbilt afterwards
added s5O0,OOO. Stephen Girard gave
$4,000, 900 to Girard College. John Z.
Green and his residuary legatees gave
| $1,50O,OOO to the Princeton College.
Ezra Cornell gave $1,000,000 to the
Cornell University. Isaac Rich be-
queathed the greater part of his estate,
which was appraised at $1,7O0,OoO, to
Boston University. On account OF the
great fire and shrinkage in value, and
other unfortunate circumstances, the
university will realize less than $7O0,-
900 from this magnificent bequest.
Amasa Stone gave 5000, 900 to Adelbert
College by direct gift and by bequest.
W. w. Corcoran gave $4,000 to
Columbian University in money and
land. Benjamin Busy gave real estate
worth $4,000 to Harvard University.
Samuel Williston, VIM. j. Walker and
Samuel A. Hitchcock gave between
100000 and 100000 each to Amherst
College. Whitmer Phoenix gave the
bulk of his property, amounting to
about $640,OOO, to Columbia College.
J. B. Trevor gave $4,000 to Roches-
ter Theological Seminary. Matthew
Vassar gave 100000 to Vassar Col
lege. Gardner Colby gave $4,000 to
Colby University and 100000 to New
ton Theological Seminary. j. B. Col
gate gave $500, 600 to Madison Univer-
sity. George |. Seney gave s450,OOO to
Wesleyan University. The Crozier
family gave 100000 to Crozier Theo-
logical Seminary. A Mr. Clark recently
gave s1,0O0,o00 for the founding of
university In Massachusetts, to bear his
name. Henry Winkley, of Philadelphia,
has just bequeathed 100000 to several
institutions, Williams getting $4,000,
Amherst $50 600, Dartmouth $40. 600
and Bowdoin $4,000. 1t would be easy
to add to this list. There are hundreds
of men and women whose splendid gifts
entitle them to be held in everlasting
remembrance. Such gifts are SO COM
mon now that they are expected. But
if one leave out half a dozen gifts of
by Detroit men, nothing
has been done for Michigan University.

''The Cosmopolitan's Memoirs" a
new book just out in London, concludes
an interesting series of anecdotes with
the following one of the best he has to
tell, and makes up for much in the
book which is lacking alike in truth,
tact and taste, while it gives charm
ing picture of the old Emperor, whose
great love for his mother remained ever
fresh to the end of his long life; ''Is
there not something inexpressibly
touching in the following trait, almost
pathetic in its homely simplicity? The
Emperor, who would allow only wax
candles in the White Hall, because they
set off tho beatty and dresses of women

own apartments. He had been staying
on q visit with his Marshal of the Court,
Count stolberg- -Wernigerode, and on
his return to Berlin observed to his
Aide-de-Camp a la suite, Count Lehn-
dortf, that certainly none of his lamps
gave half as good light as other
peoples. He was told the reason of it;
other people burned mineral oil and
he had always refused to do so Con-
vlnced at last, the Emperor allowed all
his lamps to be fitted with new burners,
and when the system of kerosene was
lnaugurated one winter day before din
ner he expressed himself vastly pleased
with the experiment. But his Joy was
short lived, for on returning to his
usual sitting room after the meal he
found 1t filed with a thick, pestilential
smoke. Summoning his faithful old
valet, Engle, he demanded what it
meant. The aide-de-camps knew per-
fectly, but feigned ignorance. "Your
Majesty said the old man, "alwavs

FINISHED AT ST. LOUIS,
The Beef Investigation Adjourned t,
Washington.

!
| Washington.
ST LOUIS, Nov. 24.-The investigating
committee were late in coming to order
| yesterday morning, it being nearly twelve
O'CLOCK before the chairman's gavel fell.
senator Plumb was not present, and Sena-
tor Cu!iom was too i'll to be there and had
gone home William Peters, of Allegheny
City, Pa, was the first witness. He has
been butcher in Pittsburgh for the past
thirty years. He was asked what effect
the dressed beef trade had on
that market and said that
1t had depressed the butchers
interests. He had refused to handle it at
hrst, but the butchers were told by the
Armours that if they didn't handle it they
would establish shops in that vicinity,
which they did. The dressed beef people
also sold lard for So cents, which couldn't
be made and sold for 121s cents. Witness
said the cattle trade had fallen off a great
deal in Allegheny. After obtaining con-
troll the dressed beef companies had
closed their shops and the butchers are
now selling their goods.
jefferson Reynolds, of Las Vegas, N. |
NJ, was the next witness. He said: "Con-
tinued depression in prices we receive for |
our steers has been great surprise to us.
When was in New York and Hartford I |
inquired at the hoyels and of the butchers |
whether they were paying as much for
their cattle as three years ago and they
said more. informed them that we were
not getting within fifty per cent. of what
we got three years ago."
Senator Manderson-What did you get
for cattle five years ago?
Witness-About $37.
Senator Manderson-What do you get
now?
Witness-About Sill.
Senator Manderson-The cattle losses in
Montana three years ago were unprece-
dented, were they not?
Witness-Yes; SO have been informed.
Senator Vest-And yet your business
vas not benefited in the least?
Witness-Yes, we expected an increased
rade, but there was no advance
At the conclusion of Mr.. Reynolds testi-
nony Senator Manderson said that he
hought as only a minority of the commit
ee were present it wouldn't be advisable
o continue the investigation, and as the
investigation could be taken up more ad- :
'antageously when Congress met in
Washington, he would move that an ad-
ournment be taken until December 5, and ,
hat the committee reconvene at the capi-
al, which was agreed to.

TRADE REPORT.
According to Dun Business Continues Good
in the Country

| According to Dun Business Continues Good
In the Country.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2A-R. G. Dun & Co. p
weekly review of trade says: Business has
made fair progress during the past week,
and at almost all points the prospect for
further improvements is considered good,
Ihe engagements Of gold for export
amount to q, $50, 900 for the week. The i'm.
mediate cause is not the state of mer-
chandise trade. At present foreigners do
not seem to regard American RAILWAYS
with the confidence formerly shown, in
part because of their damaging competi.
tion and in part because the effects of the
Interstate act are thought serious. The
stock market has declined an average of
81 per share.
The exports Of breadstuffs from Atlantic
ports have been only 1892 bushels Of
wheat in three weeks, against 1885. .32a
bushels last year, and 40S, ,497 barrels Of
flour, against 675, 69S last year, with an in
crease of sj0, 900 bushels of corn.
Removal of duties in Portugal caused
small shipments of wheat thther, but
from other markets the current price still
excludes Atlantic wheat, though the de-
cline here has been Ak cents for the week
with sales of $4,000, 900 bushels.
Corn and oats have scarcely changed.
Fork and hogs are a shade lower, with
lard stronger. No change appears in cot
ton.
Coffee has advanced half a cent with |
sales OF $1,000 bags, and oil is practically |
with refined shade lower.

who runs meat market on the outskirts
OF the city and lives in the rear, was
awakened early yesterday morning by
slight noise and as he raised his head two
men opened the door between the shop and
his room and entered. Jumping up he
seized the man nearest him. The other
ran to the counter near by in the shop,
picked up two cleavers and returned to
the aid Of his companion. A terrible on
slaught was made on Burgraff who made
a bold defense after receiving a terrible
cut on the head. The noise aroused the
family and one of the burglars was Sc
cured. The other made off. At the station
the prisoner gave his name as Henry
Walter, German, twenty -four years old.
