THE HOPKINS MILLIONS.
A Compromise Looked Upon as
Certain.

Certain.
New YORK, Sept. 26.-There were
persistent rumors in this city to-day
that the Searles will case will be COM
promised out of the court. One story is
that Mr.. Searles' admissions on the
stand have so alarmed his lawyers that
they have advised him to compromise.
Timothy Hopkins, the contestant, is in
this city. He declined toeither confirm o.
deny the reports. Another rumor is that
the contestants have learned through
papers brought out in the hearings that
even if they should win eventually, the
legal intrenchments of the other side
are so many that the litigation would be
very long, extending possibly over
generation, and eating seriously into
che estate. After breaking the will
there would be many other suits to
fight, and this makes it probable that a
settlement will be sought.

CRUEL, CRUEL.
Families Alleged to BE Devouring
Infants in Russia.

LONDON, Sept. 26.-The horrible story
of cannibalism among the Russian
peasantry is more than confirmed, for
within some of the afflicted provinces il
said that starving families, giving up
all hope Of rescue, are prOlOnging life
by devouring their helpless infants.
The local authorities find themselves
unable to cope with the terrible calam-
ity, which, in its horrors, reminds Of
the description in "Josephus" of the
sufferings of the Jews during the siege
of Jerusalem. In several of the prov.
inces the peasantry has started TO emf.

many have persisted miserably by tbs

NEED OF SMALL, corn

The farther West one goes. the larger
the ideas in a financial way. In the
Eastern states One-cent pieces have
been in common use well back to the
origin of things; but as the Individual
took them West, the use became less as
he travelled. Much of the early con-
tempt for the Yankee grew out of his
ability to see the pennies. Now these
coins have standing, if not free course,
even beyond the Mississippi. But where
they pay p cents for common drink
they are still i'll disrepute, and will be
until the steady old methods are
reached. Few are, perhaps, aware that
a half-cent coin was ever issued by the
government. Few were ever STAMPED,
and they are valuable for numismatic
collections. 1t is alleged that in the
older sections this coin has become a ne
cessity in trade, and the American News
Dealers association will petition con-
gress to revive this issue. The penny pa
pers have but 4 half-cent return to the
publishers. and many times that fraction
is lost. Goods are often marked so as to
leave the half-cent, and the dealer
usually takes it in. Probably it forms
quite a total in some establishments.
The European countries have long seen
the need of small coins, and provided
them. Switzerland has the centime, or
fifth OF cent; Germany pfennig, or
fourth of a cent, and other countries
similar small coins. Probably they are
found specially useful to donate to beg
gars or put in contribution boxes.
There have been religious gatherings
in some parts of this couDtry-not the
West-in which the collections num-
bered aboutas many one-cent pieces as
contributors. The early custom was to
always contribute some thing to every
passing basket or hat. The half-cent
is hardly needed for this purpose as yet.

THE PRICE, OE MONEY

The senate of the state of Minnesota.
passing laws to fix the maximum price
which may be charged here for the use
of money. reminds one of the legisla-
ton of the French parliament in the
days of RoBESPIERRE. They then used
to fix the temperature and the rainfall
for months i'll advance by legislative
fiat, and with the most owllsh solemnitv
repeal the laws of nature by majority
vote. 1t did not do the laws of nature
any harm, and it gratified the members
of the parliament. In the same way,
our legislature has the right to say that
no one shall sell money for more than
4per cent per annum, or more than 2
per cent. for that matter, per annum if it
wants 10. Just as it has the right to say
that all the rivers in the state shall run
up hill. ! the legislature enjoys this
sort of thing, no one has the heart to in
terfcrc with its innocent amusement.
The onl, point that the GLOBE does
not understand is this: Why, if the
legislature can effectively regulate the
price for money, does it put tie max
imum rate at per cent? Why not put
it at :. or 9. or 10. or ?. or /? How do
our SolonS arrive at the figure S? Is
there any peculiar charm about it, that
they declde 10 tarry there? The only
explanation which anybody has offered
for this phelomen0n is that per cent
is fair price for money, ana that no
one should be allowed to ask more.
ibis is interesting. and it would be still
more Interesting if some one would tell
how the legislature learned this fact.
The experience of most men shows
that for some enterprises aud at some
times per cent is high rate OF in

er-ending complications. The position
OF woman in ancient and modern Soci-
ETY. can be cOntraSted by them with keen
qualification. But where a mans daily
business is to earnestly grapple with
difficulties of the profoundest impor-
lance, and with a pioneers courage to
take the initiative in diSpOSing of bus

proper method of handling which there

Another point about the Twilight
club was that it was neither exclusive
nor general enough. There is great
deal of interest about an association
like the Codgers' club in London, where
anybody can 90 and express his opinion
on the subject under discussion. There
is no social element in such an organi-
zatiOn at all. But apart from this, the
best kind of an intellectual club is one
where the members know each other so
well that they will express their views
honestly. Hypocrisy is the worst enemy

pie can form nucleus, and then grad

Men in this way appear and are at their
best But if men meet, as they did at

too well, and at the same time not well
enough, debate is liable to become a
little Stilted and artificial.

Oyerestimated Fortunes.

"How little the general public knows
about the private affairs of our million
aires" exclaimed a broker who had
been reading in New York newspaper
that Marshall Field was worth 5000
600. and that George NJ. Pullman's fort
une was S40,000,000. II don't suppose"
ne went on, THAT any one in the world,
not even the gentlemen themselves,
knows how much either Of them is
worth; but to Us, who live here in Chi
cago, the estimate appears ridiculous.
Why, | know of property worth over
SlO.OG0.000 that is owned by Mr.. Field,
and l am not including his business in
this. The usual estimate of Mr. Fields
wealth here in Chicago is $4,000, 0O0
but think even that is low. Now, Mr..
Pullman is very rich man, and he
grows richer every day, but it is absurd
to put him down at sac. 600, 600. He may
have an income based On that sum. for
you must remember that his business is
exceedingly profitable, and pays very
large interest on the amount of capital
invested. 1t is the same way with p.
ID. Armour, who is at various times
credited with fortune ranging from
Sl5,0O0,0 0Q to $50, 100000. Armour does
a tremendous business, and a very re-
munerative one, but [ doubt if he re-
tired tomorrow he could raise $40, OOO,-

HOW TO ASSIST.

The French expression, in speaking of
personal attendance upon public enter
tainments. including religious worship
or funeral ceremonies. would be assisted
in them, not merely attended. 1t does
not readily occur to the American I'M
Outstanding that this is the proper ex-
preston for those who simply contrib
ute to the proportions of the audience
without visible participation in the eX-
ercISeS. Most of those who go to church
and sit quietly under the gospel show
ers usually would measure their assist
ance by the size of their contribution, if
they should accidentally use that word.
Yet it is probably more appropriate to
the sympathetic and mercuriai French
man than the impaSSive Yankee. 1t is
hard task for any performer be-
fore the public, whether in a play,
lecture, sermon, prayer or any kind of
an exercise, to do the proper work with
out the audience does assist 1t may be
insisted that the best work is quite i'm
possible before gathering that does
not do its share toward success. Let the

has no appreciation of humor and conf
mence with his stories. The mirth-pro-
voking passages do not induce even
smile, and the pail of unresponslve
gravity spreads itself over the speaker.
lie is not assisted. but is all broken up
by his hearers. MatineeS at the the
alters reapt to be tame and perfunctory
because they are mostly attended by
ladies, and they do not stimulate
the actors by their applause. The
performers usually dislike these
afternoon exhibitions on this &C
count. The minister cannot preach
we'll unlesssthe sees that his hear
ers are alert and interested. The
Frenchman would put on the same
sympathetic demean0r, whether he we're
entertained in the play house or beating
himself in mind for being present at a
discourse that tortured his patience.
The American would be apt to ungra-
ciously show that he was bored if such
were the fact. In that case he is aiding
to make the effort still more depressing.
Perhaps it was noted at the walking
match last night that a little applause
or indication of sympathy i'll his effort
was like all elixir to walker AS this
is the day for churchly service, Il prac-
teal experiment might be had in going
to hear the preacher and trying to make
fitting the phrase of the Frenchman.

OUR vIGILANT GOVERNOR,

WILLIAM ROARING MERRIAM, the
governor of the state of Minnesota. and
his private secretary from the swamp
lands. TAMARACK BIXBY, were out of
bed betimes yesterday morning, and
astounded the early risers in the neigh
borhood of the Hotel Ryan, where his
eXcelleDcy now temporarily resides, by
appearing on the roof of that building
as the sun began to creep over Dayton's
bluff. The governor always sleeps with
one eye open and one ear exposed, and
his constant vigilance was rewarded on
this occasion by the welcome discovery
that the thermometer was considerably
below zero. Such an opportunity was
not to be lost, and the father OF the
state. having procured a number of
empty magnums from neighboring bar
room, and having aroused his faithful
assistant, diligently TO work bottling
Minnesota ozone for exhibition at the
worlds fair in 1898. Mr.. MERRIAM has
been very much in earnest for long
While about having our matchless climate
properly shown off IN Chicago, and has
called the attention of the legislature to
the matter in words of matchless elo-
quence. The GLOBE has vigorously
seconded his efforts, but, the legislature
having decided that 100000 is all that
the treasury can stand in the way of an
appropriation for the whole state ex-
hiblt, the governor, with princely mu-
nificence, has undertaken to attend to
this part of the show himself and at his
own expense. His activity yesterday
morning has resulted in the securing of
several quarts of climate of very fine
quality, and these have been labeled

stored in the safety deposit vaults of the

The Banking Committees In

In the House, the Anti-Pink-

Reading.

The state senate spent over two hours
on the interest bills yesterday morning
and really accomplished something,
recommending the substitute of the
banking committee topass. The oppon-
ents OF this measure then brought mp
Senator Davis bill and tried to do some
thing for 1t, but Senator Leavitt was on
his feet at once, moving that it be indef-
lnitely postponed. This preci plated a
lively discussion, in winch Senators
Donnelly, Davis. Mott. Craven, Keller
and Smith took part. The remarks of
the Sage nettled some of the members
and stirred up considerable bad blood.
and, before a vote could be taken on
Senator Leavitt's motion, the senate ad-
jOurned for the day.
After the usual opening exercises the
lieutenant governor directed the secre-
tary TO call the roll on Senator John
Day Smiths amendment to section of
the substitute, the previous question
having been ordered just before ad-
journment Friday evening. This was
carried by vote of 50 ayes to II nays,
