NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE mysterious man
who yesterday subscribed 1900 to the Jack
sonviIls yellow-fever fund was topic Of con-

1t seems that this man was only the agent of
an immensely wealthy young man os this
city. He became rich through inheritance.
His great pleasure in life now is to make others
happy. II has been his custom. for a number of
years. to contribute large sum of money to
various institutions and to people in distressed
circumstances without disclosing his identity.
So strong Is his dislike for notoriety that
clause has been inserted in his will not to pub
lish his charitable acts. The agent who handed
10 the Sl2 900 to the fund.- ii is sad is regularly
employed by the young phlanthropist in attend
ing to these very pleasant humane
duties One OF his characteristics
is that he does not care for wealth
and that be has again and again refused to ac-
cept presents from his benevolent employer. So
much came to be understood about the City
Hall and Mayors Office during the day, but 1T re-
mained for an afternoon paper, in an extra edi-
ton, to make this statement George Law, the
New York millionaire. who gave away the larg-
est sums of money and diamonds to different
people at Saratoga recently, Is the man VINO

AIugwump Opinion.

PROVIDENCE. R. l., Sept 1.-THE Providence
Journal will say, regarding Harrisons letter OF
acceptance. that his excuse for delay, that his
time has been so much taken up by handshak-
ing with delegations. shows . lack Of sincerity
and strength Of character, as IL was neither
necessary nor valid. His claim that the tariff
message of the President and the Mills bill are
free-trade measures. when they simply propose
reforms advocated in Republican platforms and
by Republican leaders, is unfounded.
NEW YoRK, Sept 1.-THE Times says: "Mr.
Harrison accepts the Republican domination IN
letter that is notable for nothing save its
weak and safe eeneralizations. This letter of
acceptance is the first public utterauce OF the
Republican candidate which gives the people of
the country an opportunity 70 take his measure,
and the inevitable comparison with his oppo-
neut must result in the conclusion that he lacks
altogether the marked ability, the justified self
con6dencs, the firm opinions the courageous
bearing and the unusual power Of luminous
statement which characterize President Clevs-
land"

The fruit is medium size, say One-inch and o
quarter in diameter, round Ms ball; dark red,
almost black. Quality good and said to be
