A MODEL MILLIONAIRE

Daniel B. Fayerweather, who recent
ly died in New York, lived such a quiet
life that very few people knew him TO
be millionaire until after his death.
Mr.. Fayerweather started out poor
boy, and confined himself to legitimate
business methods. Gradually he ac-
cumulated fortune of about Sc, 900, 900.
Feeling the want of an education, in
stead of abusing colleges and college
men, he made il his business to assist
poor boys IN obtaining an education.
He sought the advice of Rev. DR.. R. D.
Hitchcock, who mapped out plan for
collegiate endowment, and the million
aire in his will left the following be-
quests:
Bowdoiu College, Brunswick,
Me-, 800 900
Amherst College 100, 200
Williams College, Williams
town. Mass, 100000

ti6c School, 100000

''cadetsbips" $4,000

York, 100000

Adelbert College. Cleveland, O., $4,000
Wabash College, Charlottesville,
Ind, $4,000
Park College, $4,000
To New York hospitals, $95, 600 left
as follows:
Presbyterian Hospital, S25, 900
st. Luke's Hospital, $25, 900
Woman's Hospital, $4,000
Mt. Sinai Hospital, 500
He cared generously for his family
and his employees. And yet this quiet,
hard-working rich man was unwilling,
during his life time, to let the public
know anything about his benefactions.
He almost swore DR.. Hitchcock to secrecy,
He Stunned notoriety and newspaper
pufs. The knowledge that he was do
ing good was q sufficient reward for him
What rebuke this mans example is
to the vulgar rich who make a parade of
every act of charity, and see to it that it
is blazoned forth in the newspapers!
Daniel Fayerweather knew and acted
upon the true saying: CAN you will hold
in your cold, dead hand is what YOU
have given away!' The memory of such
a man will be honored by generations
yet unborn.

DIR. BAILEY AND MAJ. FINGER.

Their Antithetical Views About the
Old Blue Back Spelling Book---Dr.
Bailey Makes a Present to Major
Finger.
Rev. DR.. 9. 7. Bailey, the Baptist
Bishop of North Carolina, and Major S.
NJ. Finger, State superintendent of Pub
lie Instruction, are very good friends,
and they will remain SO.
But there has just been little occur
renee between them which is too good
to keep. and which may interest and
amuse the friends of BOTH
Mr.. Finger has just issued his bi en-
NAL report, and, by the way, it is a most
exhaustive and interesting document.
He sent a copy to DR.. Bailey.
Now, it is we'll known that the Doctor
is big Drained man. The next biggest
thing about him is his independence and
boldness, and after that comes his
conservatism.
The Doctor read the report, and in his
| review of it in his paper, the Biblical
Recorder, he says fatty there are some
things in it which he most heartily
disapproves.
{ The Doctors disapprobation was par
ticularly aroused by page in the re-
port devoted to Webster's old ''blue
back" spelling book. The view of
Major Finger on that particular book
were so radically different from the Dr's.
that he came to the independent conclu
sion that Major Finger must have forgot
ten all about that famous and Infamous
old "speller." And he straightway went
to the book store and bought a
copy of the old "bIue back" and sent it to
Major Finger with his compliments, and
with a request that the Major exam
inc it.
DR.. Bailey stoutly maintains that
every man in this country who has made
any sort of literary or political reputa
tion; got his education from that old
speller, and that any man who begun
his education with anything else has
never amounted to much. He says Ma
jor Finger is big mana prominent
man-and he became so because h'
: studied that old spelling book. He also
, intimates that the Major would never
: have been the man he Is if he had beer
educated by the ''Grube" method.

A Great Moral Movement.
rAtlanta Constitution


The lottery law has developed new
features in Missouri. 1t is said that a
learned judge of that State recently
called the grand jury before him and ir-
structed its members to investigate GER
tain charges which had been preferred
against the society people Of that Sec
ton, who were in the habit of playing
game called "progressive eucnre," for
prizes.
These prizes are not specified, but the
learned Judge maintains that they are
covered by the lottery law, whether
they consist in kisses or cash, and that
the ladies and gentlemen who contest
for them through the medium OF pro-
gressive euchre are amenable OF the law.
Under this judges instructions the
grand jury is empowered to put an end
to all social card playing in private resi-
dences, and that august body Is now on a
tour of investigation. 1t Is therefore
safe to predict that progressive euchre
is doomed in Missouri.
Our New Orleans contemporary, The
Times Democrat, says that this smacks
of the old blue laws of New England
But this is a mistake. When the blue
laws were formulated the country was
in its infancy, and little was expected O
it. Now that it has grown to such pro
portions and civilization has advanced
| to its present high stage, law that per
mits a Judge or jury to raid private resi-
dences aud prevent the innocent diver
sions of their inmates, carries less excus
with it than the law which kept tn
Puritans in check and prevailed owe
their solemn communities.

Faith Still Untouched.

The never ending controversy about
the relation of consciousness or mind to
matter is still kept up; but there seems
to be no solution of the problem and no
apparent prospect of any solution. The
semi materialistic view was well nigh
exhausted by Professor Tyndall in his
famous Belfast address" delivered some
fifteen years ago. 1t evoked a storm of
unnecessary wrath from theologians,
but, considering how inconclusive it was
when the real issue was approached, that
of an intelligence other than what we call
nature, it is wonder that scientific men
do not confess that they know at least as
little as the theologians about final causes
Tyndall has said nearly all that can be
said pointing toward the idea of Luz
cretius, stNature is seen to do. all things
spontaneously of herself, without the
meddling Of the gods:" but at last, and
with a real pathos, he declares: Soon
sidered fundamentally, then, it is by the
operation of an insoluble mystery that
life on earth is evolved, species differen-
tiated and mind unfolded from their pre-
potent elements in the unreasonable
past"
He is following Herbert Spencer, but
he does not contradict hina, and it is a
confession that science has not found
out the origin of life nor made any dis
covery as to the essential constitution of
the human mind The faith in God is
left unscathed by all these scientific re-
searches, Pittsburg Chronicle.

American FoGs,

An analysis of London fog makes it a
mixture of vapor and the soft coal smoke
that hangs like pail over that city. The
smoke from the coal is slightly reddish,
which gives the fog its peculiar tinge.
All England is apt to be enshrouded in
fogs. In London the air, full of vapor,
holds the smoke close down to the ground,
so that it cannot escape, and thus comes
the London fog.
In our American cities where the soft
coal is burned II state of atmosphere
closely approxinlating that of London is
developed as the towns grow larger In
London, in the depths Of one of its heavy
fogs, coachman has been known to
drive up the steps of one of the largest
churches in broad daylight, SO completely
obscuring was the dense vapor cloud. 1t
can never be as bad as that in America,
because our atmosphere is drier. Still,
on the seaboard and on water courses, in
cities where the bituminous coal is
burned, fogs of late years have become
sufficiently heav.. to be both annoying
and dangerous In Cincinnati there are
occasionally days of darkness which can
only be compared to a London fog. Gas
must be burned all day, even in the
streets, sometimes. The same is true of
Chicago. Serious accidents have hap
pened in the fogs of those cities.
New York. situated SO as to catch the
sea fogs on all sides, is better off. than
the ether cities, from the fact that the
people burn anthracite coal, which enaits
little smoke Only for this a New York
fog would be as much to be dreaded as
the London article.
