There Are Wild Rumors of a Woman IN

Another runor was started on the
streets of Greenville last night that Mr..
j. d. Cook, the missing treasurer of the
Greenville Building and Loan Asso-
citation, had returned home. The rumor
was contradicted at his house at noon
today.
The officers of the association still main
tain that he is not a ~defaulter, n the
general impression is that Mr.. Cooks
continued absence from home is owing to
trouble of q domestic nature.
There's a wild rumor that when he left
home he said to his family:-'Good-bye.
/ shall never return"
While some people claim that Cook was
q model citizen, there are others who
mildly intimate that hispeculiar fondness
for staying away for several days,
and even weeks. at a tllne'
cluded o desire for game of another sort,
and had given rise to unpleasant words
between himself and his family. Mr..
Jansen, his s%tepfather, admitted that he
had been ''jawing'' him just a little be-
fore he left home.
Mr.. Jansen also said that his srepson
owed considerable money to a New YORK
firm with which he dealt in groceries. !.
This does not tally with the assertion OF
Secretary Richard Routh, of the Buildlng

McQuinlan and Jones Will Be Tried for
Burglary.

The State n

Seeing that the election of a Demo
catic Governor is a foregone con-
clusion, the area of speculation, SO
far as the voting in November is con
cerned, is confined to the state
Senate, and the newspapers are max
ing a great hubbub about its probable
complexion. This is indeed a matter
of no small interest. The reappor-
tionment according to population
gives the Assembly to the Democrats
beyond doubt, and there is every
reason to hope that the government
of the State will again next year be
homogeneous in respect to party, and
thus useful reform legislation may be
secured. So far as the Senate is con-
cerned, too, it must be remembered
that a large number of important APP
pointments to be made by the Gov
ernor will go to the Senate for con-
firmation, and the control of that
body by an opposition majority
would be very likely to cause serious
trouble in carrying out the require
ments of the Constitution.
There is every reason to expects
however, that the Senate will again
be in the hands of the Democracy.
Seven new Senators are to be elected.
The fourteen who hold over are
equally divided in politics. OF the
new ones, two-those for Hudson and
Bergen counties-will be Democratic
beyond peradventure; two-those of
Atlantic and Ocean-will equally GER
tainly be Republican.
The Democrats have more or
less good chances of electing all the
other three, while only two are
needed. Mercer, though now repre-
ented by a republican, is naturally,
a Democratic county, and will be
united this fall. Senator Werts, if he
will run again, will have no difficulty
in carrying Morris. If he declines to
run, some other good democrat can
doubtless be found who will also com
mand success. Cumberland is close;
but it probably can be carried by the
Democracy. 1t seems to be somewhat
uncertain whether Senator Baker will
seek reelection. He would have ex-
cellent chances of success. There is
no prominent democrat in rivalry
with him so far, and it may be
doubted what the result would be if
anyone else entered the lists against
Robert F. Wilson, the probable Re
publican candidate.

Enriched by Girard.
From the st. Louis Globe Democrat

From the st. Louis Globe-D Democrat.
Seeing a story about old Stephen
Girard the other day reminded me of
an incident that shows one of his
peculiarities. Girard had a drayman,
who was a decidedly poor man. One
day the drayman, who was an indus
trious, bright fellow, with a good many
mouths to fill at home, was heard to
remark that he wished he was
rich. whats that?" sharply said
Girard, who heard the grumble. "Oh,"
said the man, II was only wishing |
was rich" We'll, why don't you get
rich?n said the millionaire harshly.
81 don't know how without
money!" returned the drayman.
"You don't need money" said Cir
ard. "Well, if you will tell me how
tie get rich without money | won't let
turned the other. '"There is going to
be a shipload of confiscated tea sold
| at auction tomorrow at the wharf; go
| down there and buy it in and then
come to me-" The man laughed. Il
have no money to buy a shipload of
| tea with he said. You don't need
any money, l tell you," snapped the
old man. $50 down and bid in the
whole cargo and then come to me-"
The next day the drayman went
down to the sale. A large crowd of
retailers were present, and the auc-
tioneer said that those bidding would
have the privilege of taking one case
or the whole shipload, and that the
bidding would be IN the pound. He
then began the sale. A retail grocer
started the bidding and the drayman
raised him. On seeing this the crowd
gazed with no small amount of sur
prise. When the case was knocked
down to the drayman the auctioneer
said he supposed the buyer only de-
sired the n case. "lM take the
whole shipload,n coolly returned the
successful bidder.
The auctioneer was astonished, but
on some one whispering to him that
it was Girard's man who was the
speaker, his name changed, and he
said he supposed it was all right. The
news soon spread that Girard was
buying tea in large quantities, anc
the next day the price rose severa
cents. go and sell your tea" sale
Girard to the drayInan the next day
The drayman was shrewd, and ht
went out and made contracts witt
several brokers to take the stock at {
shade below the market price, thereby
making a quick sale. In a few hour
he was worth $50, 900.
