A rather remarkable miser named Du
rand has just departed this life in the
town of Rodez. He was Sc years old
and according to the French estimate Of
fortune he was a triple millionaire, his
magot being worth in cash and paper
100000, or 100000 francs. Durand
used to 60 about the town like a mendi-
cant-so much so that the people often
offered him aims, but were grinned a,
for their proffered generosity. He was
known to have had but one suit of tailor
made clothes during his long years OF
residence in Rodez, but on the days when
he went to draw his dividends at the
local bank he usually donned garment
intended to be ceremoniouS, which
seemed to be compromise between a
blouse and q sack.
The miser lived alone in q big house,
the doors Of which were doubly locked,
and occupied himself with mending his
Clothes and boots, cooking, washing his
linen and counting up bis money-this
last task being his daily delight and prin-
cipal pastime. Durand has left his house
and the bulk of his bullion to female
fish monger-the widow Noverand-who
sometimes visited him. To his own rela-
tives, some of whom are in poverty, the
miser has not left -penpy.-Paris Cor.

4 GOOD EXAMPLE.

The Norfolk and Western has once
more taken the initiative in a gooc
work for Roanoke. Surveys were
commenced yesterday In the streets
running round the Hotel Roanoke ano
they will be paved in the best manner
with Belgian block. This will add q
great deal to the appearance of The city
in that section and the example should
be followed by the city as soon as The
assessment now being compiled is CON-
pleted. There is hardly q doubt, but
what large appropriation will then be
made for street improvements - and
it could not be used for better, pur.
pose.

THURsDAY MORNING. APRIL i
CHOW TO WIN FORTUNE"

Mr.. ANDREW CARNEGIE is man
who has already won fortune, aaa
that, too, with nothing to start upon
but shrewd Scotch brains, strong mus
cles and determination to win
He is a man who has the respect OF
Americans Of every political beiisi'
though he is partisan, in sense,
himself. lie has contributed to re-
cent issue of the New York Tribune
an article called "How TO Win For
tune" which is now attracting good
deal of attention.
This ia the consuming thought OF ey-
ery Young man in Roanoke today.
This il what he cams to the rising, en-
terprizing and progressive town for.
He came here because he believed it
had advantages no other town pos
sessed; he came here to grow up With
the country, and any bit OF advice that
will help him along the always thorny
road will be read with interest.
1.-The saving workman says Mr..
Carnegie, sis the valuable workman
and the wise employer regards the
fact that he does save as prlma tacle
evidence that there is something en-
ceptionally valuable in him. The day
of the absent capitalist stockholder,
who takes no interest in the opera
ton of the works beyond the receipt
of his dividend. is certainly passing
away. The day Of the valuable ac-
tive worker in the industrial world Is
coming, Let, therefore, TO young,
practical workman be discou- -ged.
On the contrary let him be cheered.
More and more it is becoming easier
for the mechanic or practical man OF
real ability to dictate terms TO his
employers. Where there was one
avenue Of promotion there are now a
dozen. Genuine ability will rot
down. But there are dangers that
are fatal to success. Among these
are drunkenness, speculation, indoors
ing for Others and lack Of concentra-
ton. Put all your eggs in one bas-
ket, and then watch that basket, Is
the true doctrine-the most valuable
rule Of all.
Lack of concentration is especially
to be avoided. 1t is here that mary q
good bareue has gone to pieces. In
the course Of his article Mr.. Carnegie
time and time again calls attention TO
this. 1t IS something that almost
singly will win fortune and to it he says
he owes much.
But the rule he puts before all others
for the man of small capital is, "Put
all your eggs in one basket and watch
