A Future President.

He was an energetic boy OF twelve.
When he returned from school the
other day and found his mother out,
he set to work to rake up the leaves
in the yard. Lots of boys would have
flung the leaves into the street to be
wasted, but this boy was beginning to
study economics. Leaves wasted ia
heat wasted and coal wasted. He raked
up five bushels, carried them down cell
lar and crammed them into the fur
mace, and five minutes after he had
touched match to them the first
steamer was on the ground and fifty
people were at hand to help fling the
furniture out. Actual damage only q
few shelels; experience, valued at
ten thousand dollars. Detroit Free

Judge Lynch presided as chiefmourner
at one hundred and one deaths in the
South in 1888, while the same rites
were superintended by the Judge in
sorty.thrte csoes in the North. This was
Iust forty.three too many for this section
OF the country. But what is to be said
OF the more united territory lying south
OF Mason and Dixon's line, with Its one
aundrad and one executions without
process of law? Much OF the race
trouble of this section can be traced to
this state OF lawlessness, and the intelli-
pence OF the South should arouse itself
to the preservation Of the dignity OF the
law. When the intelligent people OF
the South are willing that each citizen
shall have fair and impartial trial be-
fore the proper tribunal for any and all
misdemeanors, then and not till then
will the race question be settled.

The Peoples Defender, OF Adams county,
Informs us that Gov. Foraker issued a
proclamation and declared the white
Cans" extinct. The Governor did not
proclaim. 1t was the Defender that pro-
claimed the proclamation. The Governor
says that the order no longer exists, and
points 10 the vacuum as proof, just as
ono might point TO the place in the earth
from which stump had been removed
as proof of its removal. But this kind
OF proof is not satisfactory to the Defend
er. The Go yernor will be obliged to col.
lect the remnants OF the order, carry them
to West Union and kill and bury them
in the presence OF the Defender before
his work will be considered effective by

o,aLs WITH FORTUNES.


Maria geab1e American Msldens VINO Afo
worth oB7,0OO,0O0.
Miss Drexel and her two sisters are
said to be the three richest unmarried
ladies in the United States. This state
ment is open to dispute. These three
ladies were left a fortune Of $13. 600, 900
by their father. the late F. A. Drexel.
It was so invested as to bring each an
income approximating $500, 900 yearly.
Miss Mary Garrett, daughter Of the
late railroad king, was left $2O, ,0O0, 600.
Miss Garrett is money-maker, and
accumulated q fortune since her fathers
death, 30 that the combined fortunes
OF the Misses Drexel can not equal
hers. II is undoubtedly true that the
Misses Drexel are the three wealthiest
unmarried sisters in the United States,
but it is likely that to Miss Mary Gar
rett, laughter OF the founder Of the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad. and not TO
either of the Misses DreXel, belongs
distinction Of being the richest un-
married lady in America Miss Gar
rett is probably better business wom-
an than either OF thom. She has the
commercial acumen OF her father. and
her penetration and discrimination in
business affairs are much remarked
among business men Of baltimore,
where her movements in commercial
affairs are watched with muci. interest.
With all this vast wealth ~ her dis
posal, Miss CARROTS chief character
istic Is her modesty, which hardly
seems compatible with the hun ly-burly
which the management OF $2O 600. 900
would entail. 1t is we'll understood
that Miss Garrett, and no Other, man
ages her large fortune. Had her
brother Robert been rs careful fnan-
cier the Baltimore & Ohio road might
still be controlled by the Garrett es-
tate.
1t is said that Miss Garrett in her
efforts to turn an honest penny, re-
ligiously avoids the speculative ex-
changes, having a morbid fear that II
she once gets into this whirlpool Gould
might drag her down. If Gould ever
gets the advantage of Mary Garrett it
will have to be in deal in Govern
ment bonds or gilt-edged real estate.
After tho Misses Drexel and Miss
Garrett comes Miss Nellie Gould as q
rich unmarried woman. Miss Gould Is
much younger than either OF the
others. Unlike them, she Is not yet
rich in her own right, but prospectively
she ranks fourth among the wealthy
unmarried women Of the United States.
If her father meets with no reverses-
and he seems able to take care OF him.
self-her individual fortune ought not
to be far from 500, O,000,0 900.
A Philadelphia banker recently said
to the writer that the combined
fortunes OF the three Misses Drexel,
counting the accumulations since their
fathers death, was not far short OF
$1,000, ,0OO Miss CARROTS fortune
must now be $22, 900, 900. and II Miss
Gould can muster $2O, 900, 900, we have
$57, 600. 900 to be divided between five
unmarried American girls, either one
OF them worth any mans love although
she did not have q dollar instead Of
many millions. Philadelphia Letter.

spends it, and the third begins over

some years ago, when fortunes were

there are European instances OF the
