Personal Warnings.

The newspapers are recording the fac,
that Mr.. H. NJ. Flagler gave DR.. George
Shelton, Of New York, $S7, 900, volun-
tarily, as fee for medical services to his
daughter. Forty years ago this would
have made large fortune for any man,
one that he would have felt justified in
retiring from business on.
But the value Of personal services and
fees has grown with everything else in
recent years. It is interesting to note
what vast sums professional people have
earned simply by their personal labors,
without counting business investments
Of any kind.
Patti, the only Patti, has undoubtedly
cleared a couple Of millions by that Won
drous bird warbling of hers. Nobody
who ever lived has earned 30 much.
Bernhardt, Booth and Joseph Jefferson
have each rounded up o million dollars
during their professional careers. So
probably has Henry Irving. 1t is said
that Henry Ward Beecher earned o mill.
ion in his lifetime from preaching, lec-
turing and writing.
Among doctors and lawyers, too, the
sums earned by those in the first rank
are enormous. Gen. Buffers law prac-
tice amounts to from $50, 900 to 5000, 900
every year. In one single case he re-
ceived fee Of 100000. Col. 1ngersolls
law practice brings him in $4,000
year. The earnings Of one law firm in
New York, Butler, Stillman & Hubbard,
foot up $o50,0o0. The head Of this firm
is William Allen Butler, who wrote the
poem Of "F1ora McFlimsy." He dropped
into poetry in his youth, but wisely
dropped out again and into something
that paid vastly better. Helping people
quarrel is far more paying investment
than rhyme stringing. The business of
this law firm is chiefly the reorganiza-
ton Of railroads. They sometimes re-
ceive $50, 900 for one fee.
Among doctors the figures are not SO
high, but still there are millionaires
among them, too. DR.. William A. Ham,
mond had for many years, in New York,
an annual practice worth $4,000. He
will still retain much Of it, now that he
has gone to reside in Washington, Gas
matter Of sentiment"
In business the sums earned are equal
ly large. The president Of the New
York Life Insurance company has sal
airy of $4,000. The Equitable Life Insur-
ance company pays its president 500, 900
year. Several railroad presidents get
10000. A New York house that makes
especially of the sale of roasted coffee
pays its buyer $4,000 year. He saves
that much to them. The general man
ager of q varnish house in Brooklyn also
receives $4,000 year. So that it pays
better In the long run TO have success
ful private business than to be president.

The rival telegraph lines throughout the
country have mutually agreed to adopt
the Western Union prices for messages.
They are to continue to do this one year.
But they VOW and swear by all they hold
sacred it Is not consolidation. Oh, no!
1t Is not even combine" 1t is only an
amicable peace. But this kind of sweet
peace is sometimes expensive to the
public.

DEAIH OF tROF.' hAhKFOfD.
 Rev. Dr. William Thompson of the Hart ford Theological seminary died yesterday, Feb. 27, after short illness with pneumo- nia, aged eighty-three. He had been con- nected with the Hartford seminary since 1884. His mental and physical vigor was unimpaired until his last illness. His char acter was one of simplicity and strength and his disposition one of rare sweetness. His memory will long be cherished by hundreds of pupils and friends widely scattered about the earth. He was graduated from Union college in 1897 and from Andover Theologi- cal seminary in 1882, and was ordained as a minister in 1883. After one years pasto- rate at North Bridgewater, Mass, he be- came professor of sacred literature in tEe Theological Institute of Connecticut, then located at East Windsor Hill, occupying the chair for 47 years. In 1881 he was made pros lessor of Emeritus of the Hebrew language and literature, but continued to give instruc- tions until his last illness. Dr. Thompson was married in 1884 to Miss Eliza w. Butler of Northampton, Mass, by whom he had three sons and two daughters, of whom only the daughters, Mrs. Prof. Spring of Will liamstown, Mass, Mrs. A. w. Hazen of Mid dlteown, Conn. survive. The sons were Prof. Charles Oliver Thompson of the Worcester, Mass, Free Institute and later of the Rose Polytechnic Institute, Terre Haute, Ind, Rev. William Augustus Thompson of Con- way and Reading, Mass, and Lieut.. Samuel P. Hopkins Thompson, 16th Connecticut volunteers.

I2,OOO TONS OF ICE.

The Harvesting at Lake whitney
 Finished-To Begin Soon at SaltOR-
 stall.
 The New Haven Ice company finished harvesting ice at Whitneyville last night and have now in their immense ice houses at that place over 12, 900 tons of nice clear ice and of excellent quality, most of it 10 inches in thickness. Thoueh not as they would like to have it there is no snow in it and it is as clear as crystal. Over 124 men and some 40 or more double teams have been engaged in storing and carting the cristal cakes for the past week. They have also filled their large ice house on Railroad avenue, which holds 8 number of thousand tons. If no thaw sets in they will soon commence cutting at Lake Saltonstall, where they also have large houses, not having cut any there yet this season. It never freezes as soon there as some places on account of the strong current which prevails. The ice there now owing to the late cold snap is in superior condition and the company will immediately transfer men and teams from Whitneyville, com meneing probably te-morrow.
