From the n. Y. Commercial Adver-
tiser.l
Henry S. Ives, the last of the Napo-
Icons Of finance, who it seemed at one
time, was dangerously near a long term
of imprisop ment, is out and around
Wall Street these days, as bright and
clipper as lark on May morning,
says Philadelphia Press correspond
ent., His cheruble countenance beams
placidly, his eyes snap, and he carries
himself like racer going to the post.
He is as superbly groomed to-day as
before the crash. His wardrobe must
be extensive, for he never commits the
social error of wearing the same suit of
clothing twice in one week. He is law
ish in rich neckwear and jewelry. In
deed, his fingers sparkle with rings.
He seems to be at peace with all the
world. There is not a shadow on his
path.
Ives lunches at Delmonico's, and his
office is crowded with men anxious to
get a word with him. While hun
dreds of have beens jostle elbows with
him every day, he pays no heed to the
past, and is certainly adding to his al
ready large fortune, for there are not
many people who do not believe that
be saved couple of millions before the
law claimed him. Everything that he
touches now turns to gold. He is
making money more rapidly than
any man in the street, and some
day you will hear of him again, for he
is consumed with an ambition to sue
ceed Jay Gould as the big man on the
street.
By the way, how many men have
strutted about Wall street for brief
day with the same idea in mind?

The Writing of "Suwanee River"

"Did you ever hear how sSuwanee
River was written ?"
"Don't think I ever did,"
"Well, Steph Foster-Stephen C.
Foster was his full name-was in the
zenith of his popularity when he wrote
the Words" said my friend to me. "He
had written the song in the frame
house on Sandusky street in Ale
gheny," says the Pittsburg Dispatch,
"but he couldn't find the name of a
river that suited him. Finally he went
over to the office of his brother, Morri-
son Foster, sat down on his desk and
said: Morrison, I've got new dar-
key song here and it's complete except
the name ofthe river. I want a South
ern river with only two or three sylla-
bles. Give me one won't you?"
"Morrison suggested several, but
they didn't suit. Then he took down
an atlas, ran his eye over map of the
Southern States for few minutes, and
finally said Here's river in Florida
by the name of Suwanee, how will
that do"
"'That's it, that's it, exclaimed the
song writer, jumping from the desk.
It's just what I want and picking up
a pen he inserted the name of the river
that has since become the title Of one
of the sweetest and most pathetic Of
melodies. I believe that Stephen c.
Foster never thought much of the
piece himself until after it had taken
its place among the popular songs Of
the country"

Why Some Men do Not Succeed.
THE St. Louis Miller.


Two Of the most successful men on
the North American continent were
recently asked the question, "What are
the causes Of poverty?" One replied,
IGNORANCE and incapacity." The
other said that the prevalent cause is
"The number of young men who are
wanting in decision and fxity of pur
pose. Ifthey get Into good place at the
start, they should stick to it; knowing
that by perseverance, industry, and
ability, they win promotion in due
course as vacancies occur. But they see
or hear of some one making q fortune
III Wall Street, or in ranching, or in
mining, and away they 60 to try their
luck. When they lose, as they do in
ninety-nine cases out of hundred,
that is the end of them they can never
settle down to ordinary ways of earn
ing a living after that, and their de-
scent is rapid" This reason hits the
nail square on the head. Go where We
will, we will find men who commenced
life under the most favorable circum-
stances, but who are such complete
financial wrecks that there is but little
hope for their reformation. They may
be honestand temperate; they may even
possess natural ability Of high order,
but lacking in steadiness of purpose,
will never succeed. Had they suffi-
cient will force to stick to one thing,
no matter how disagreeable it might
be at first, were they content to ad-
vance slowly, they would have no
reason now to talk of the "luck" of
those who have pushed forward into
the front ranks.
Another cause of poverty is lack of
self-confdence. Many men seem to
have no faith in themselves, conse-
quently no assertiveness, no indepen-
dence, no pluck, and no push. They
are afraid to stand up and speak for
themselves, preferring to lean on others.
They are afraid to make an invest.
ment, because of the possibility of fail
uTe; they are afraid to tell what tn ey
can do, as they might make an error in
doing it; they are towards in every
sense Of the word. This is often the
result of early training. \ boy, nat
urally timid, is kept in the background
so persistently, and his mistakes are so
severely criticised, that he grows up
into an entire useless man. Push and
fixity Of purpose will always bring a
measure 0: success.

things take away the farmer boys
spirit and he longs for brakeman's
place on railroad, where he can ride
high and dry at twenty miles an hour,
and take the chances Of breaking his
neck.
Yes, the two best things for the far
ner are good roads and good schools,
and they can be had if the alliance
saws 50. Vote for tax large enough
to secure good teachers-Christian
teachers, who will give moral training
aud lift the children up to a higher rand
more hopeful view of life. Moral train
ing, good habits, good principles are OF
more Importance than maps and figures
but let all go along together. A youth
had better not learn to write if he has
no moral training to keep him from
forging q note. He had better know no
bookkeeping if his principles incline
him to false entries and embezzlement.
There is radical defect in the public
school system, especially in the north,
where teaching is an ice-clad and iron.
clad business-all mind and no heart.
They have only + per cent of illiteracy,
while the south averages q, but their
convictions for crime outnumbers ours
five to one, according to white popula-
ton.
We are proud of our public school in
Gainesville, because our teachers never
lose an opportunity to impress good
morals and good principles upon the
pupils. When my daughter tells me
that Ella Or Lou or Mary is splendid
scholar, II always ask is she good
girl, is she kind, does she know the
golden rule, or is she selfish and vain
and colceited? Some Of the smartest
scholars I know are the meanest. l
don't care how smart boy is in figures,
if he will cheat another boy in trade
or impose upon those who are smaller
than he is. T still love the boys who
were good to me. Most Of them are
dead, but love to recall their kind
ness in my memory. Kindness makes
deeper impression than scholarship.
l fear that this feature in our schools
has too low place. II should have the
highest. Scholarship does not make
good citizens, but morality and prin-
ciple do. Is he honest? Is he truthful:
Is he strictly temperate? Is he willing
to work? are the questions that are
asked when a young man seeks employ
ment. Will the teacher teach these
things, should be asked of every appli-
cant for place in our schools.

What the New Rules Meant.
Baltimore Sum-

The advent Of the Republican party
to the control of the public eXpendi-
lures seems now to mean, as a general
rule, increased appropriations, with a
rapid sweep toward satudalia of eN-
travagance, and its inseparable COM
panions, jobbery and corruption. Surely
the people had right to expect some
moderation from the present Congress,
which met at time when agricultural
distress Garkened our whole horizon
and the Western farmer was burning
his corr. for fuel, while he was engaged
in death struggle with his mortgages.
But no considerations Of public distress
or of public welfare can prevail in coun-
ellis where party success is the only
object of legislation, and where long
experience seems to show that party
success comes more easily from reliance
On the aid and contributions of those
who are enriched by legislation than
from appeals to the goodwill and
general welfare of the whole people. In
this they are, unfortunately, greatly
aided by one Indirect and hidden sys-
tenn of taxation, which keeps the great
body of citizens from understanding or
at least from feeling through the sting
of direct eNaction that the government
has not one dollar to squander or spend
except as it takes that dollar in taxes
from the people, and from coupling
this momentous truth with the better
known fact that the people, as a rule,
have not one dollar to pay taxes with,
except as they earn it by labor in pro-
duc!ng or in trading.
Let US see what Republican Congress
ses do with the peoIle's money.
1t will be remembered that the For
ty-sigth Congress, the last in Hayes
administration, was Democratic in
both branches; the Forty-seventh Re-
publican in both branches; and the
Forty-eight largely Democratic in the
House. The appropriations of the Forty
seventh Congress exceeded those Of the
Forty y-sixth by S12l, ,G31, ,552 20 and those
of the Forty-eighth by S113, 1893, 1855.
During the last Congress (the Fiftieth)
the House was Democratic. In this
Congress both House and Senate are
Republican. The present Congress has
appropriated for the current fiscal year
s52, $50, 1872 26 more than the Fiftieth
Congress appropriated for its first fiscal
year and 1868, 1861 more than it
appropriated for its second fiscal year.
Nor is that all. The present Congress
has authorized other contracts that will
call for appropriations amounting to
$40, 1S9, ,615.54 additional. It has created
1910 new offices, with annual salaries
aggregating 1881 ,211.50, abolishing
100 offices with annual salaries aggre-
eating Sl55, S2S.3S.
A comparison of the present and last
Congresses in respect to the creation of
new Offices shows this result:

The Alligator Liar This Time.
[WiiminntOn NIessenoer.1

We were at Southport in the summer
Of 1882 when an alligator seven or
eight feet long was seen ia the river
near one Of the wharves. He was shot
at six times with q powerful Colts re-
volver and was then harpooned and
drawn ashore. He was struck on the
head with an axe and his head split
open, and then an attempt was made
to prize his mouth open with the blade
Of the axe when he sized it in his teeth
and actually bit large piece out Of the
hard metal.

| Annual
Offices. salaries.

we also ma tnaI the present CEn
gress has increased the salaries of 1907
offices by the amount of Sl32, ,055.l2 per
annum.
Further, the House has passed the
Lodge-Davenport force bill, which, ifit
becomes a law, will create thousands
more officials, some of them with life
tenures, and all involving an annual
expenditure of millions more. Even
this is not the complete record of Mr..
Reeds Congress at its first session.
Large as the appropriations have been,
it is an admitted fact that the defcien-
cies which will occur during this fiscal
year will be enormously heavy. The
deficiencies in the single matter of
pensions over and above the sum airca-
dy appropriated will amount to atleast
S44, 9O4 ,494; in the Department ofJustice
they will reach S675,OOO, and. in the
office Of the public printer, s4S7 900.
These deficiencies, which are sure to
occur, aggregate S16,OG6, ,394.O7, and
must be provided for hereafter to say
nothing of the anticipated deficiencies
in the other departments and offices of
the government.
Truly this is an appalling, an indi-
fensible exhibit, and the taxpayer as he
bends his weary back to the burden, so
cruelty and heartlessly heaped upon
him by his own servants, can under
stand what it costs to have all autocrat
in power in the House of Representa-
tives, and for what purposes that auto
crat broke down the rules and safe
guards of parliamentary procedure;
stiles all debate and examination of
public measures, puts them through
the House by bis own arbitrary count
Of quorum, and mocks at the protests
Of the minority while he receives the
plaudits of those who are made rich by
the spoliation Of the people. 1t is true
the strong man from Maine" is in the
Speakers chair, but jobbery deals out
parliamentary law in the House of
Representative.

THE MULE STRUCK OUT.

Picked Up in Vlrxinia.
There has been considerable gold found 10
Gently several miles north OF ths District
line. and several shafts have bean sunk on
various properties, al Of which, to No the
usual language Of tho boom, 'texceed the
most sanguine expectations of the promo
terxn Several farmers out near tho sat Of
disturbance have been earning considerable
money hauling ore from the shaft TO Senator
Sawyer's stamp mill. q few miles away. The
shafts are sunk and the ore extracted by the
usual methods of drilling and blasting. For
the latter purpose nitro-glycerine il used.
One of the teamsters put several empty
pitro-glycerine cans in his cart and took them
to his home, near Takoma Park, last week,
intending to clean them up and make pals of
them. He set them down in the barn yard
while he was putting up the mules. A half
grown hog saw the cans, walked up and
nuzzled them around. About a gill of the
stuff had collected in the bottom Of each, and
the pig licked it down. 1t has q sweet flavor
and is medicinal Then the farmer came out,
picked up the cans and took them into the
house The pig chewed up a stray ear of
corn, a dead rat, some corn husks and two OF
three other delicacies and ambled into the
barn. Perhaps nothing would have happened
if the razor back had been gifted with ordi-
nary intelligence, but what would possess
him under the circumstances to 60 and
scratch his back against the post of the off
mules stall is past understanding. Now,
mules are only human; they are not exempt
from or above the foibles of mankind
When things go wrong with them they
make the welkin ring with their wild Homeric
"Hee,aw! hee-awi hee-aw" and then kick
like Queen Anne musket So when the of
mule looked around and saw the pig scratch
ing his back six inches from his heels he
Strengthened his neck, closed his eyes in brief
and silent prayer, swung his sinister limb up
over his shoulder and then struck out like
Kelly at the bat. The pig described a beau
tiful parabola, screaming all the time like a
800 pound shell from one of Admiral Porter's
mortars, sailed out through the barn doors
on fat trajectory and struck on top of the
hen house.
Then came a clap of thunder sound; the
pig, o, where was he! Ask of the winds
which whstled round the heavens and the
sea. The nitro-glycerine had exploded, slay
ing pig, hen house and poultry into the mid
die of Ballyhack. There hasn't piece of
that pig been found big enough to hold an
inquest on, nor piece of hen house big
enough for hen to pick her teeth on, and
colored man was arrested on Long bridge the
other day for having in bag some headless
chickens, which he confesses he picked up
over in Virginia. Washington Post.
