CONCENTRATION OF WEALTH

William Aston left at his death for
tune of s70,0O0.O00. Following suspic-
iously close to the English law of primo
geniture, he left some 100000, 900 to his
son, John Jacob. To his three daughters
he left 81, 0G0.000 cash and to his widow
an annual income of 100000 Upon
her death this sum also reverts to the for
tunate eldest son together with the mag
nifcent family residence.
Such wills as this are to be deplored
They are the means of fostering great for
tunes, of concentrating the wealth of the
world into The hands of the few. Young
Astor, who now comes into possession of
some $60,O00,000, is only about twenty
eight years of age. He has the promise Of
a long life, and as his property is
almost wholly invested in real estate IN
New York city which is increasing In
value at an enormous rate, it is impossi-
BILE to give fair estimate of the magni-
tude Of the fortune which this Aston, only
the third OF fourth removed from the
foun Ter of the family millions, may be-
queath to his posterIty
1t is, however, the policy both of the
Vanderbilts and Astors to encourage the
perpetuity of colossal estates, and in the
language OF one Of the Vanderbilts, the
public may, if it doesn't approve Of the
policy, be damned.

IL any one has heretofore harbored a
doubt as to the fact that baseball is the

other day we are told that "while the re-

the general court on Thursday, the discus
sion was interrupted by Representative
Sparhawk with motion to sit continu-
ously in order to adjourn early to go to the
ball game, which was adopted by vote Of
70 to 25." Ball is indeed the national
game Three cheers for it!

It hows Him How to Feed Himself

The rest thing, after all, which any
college does for a man is to educate him
into habits of study. Riding years ago
upon a tran sentimental train with one of
the most intimate friends OF Brigham
Young, then living, he summed up 1.-THE
prophets, attainments by saying that in
fifteen years Brigham Young had not read
five books. The high school boy who at
ter mis- graduation reads books will, in
twenty years he out of sight Of the college
graduate who reads only papers. The

good foundations for knowledge by reading
systematic courses. A man who has mas
tered nothing bungles in everything.-In-

MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS.
Many OF Them Had Their Origin in Very
Early Times

Apollo was the old god of music and his
favorlte instrument, the Tyre, was invent
ed by Mercury. When the latter was four
hours Old he found the shell of tertols
and made it into Tyre with nine strings,
in honor of the MUSES.. This instrument
Mercury gave to Apollo, who became a
wonderful player upon it. The Tyre was
used by the Greeks in olden times and
from it was fashioned the harp.

the modern violin, which, however, is 700
years old says aarper's Young People. 1t
is said that Charlie II introduced it into
England. One of the finest makers of
violins was Stradivarius, OF Cremona, who
existed in the early part of the eighteenth
century. Violins made by him are worth
thousands of dollars now and highly es-
teemed by collectors and performers.

the presence of mind of Pocahontas.
Smith had long whiskers and a blond
pompadour, which were novelties in Vir.

impressed.

Hurriedly approaching the spot where
Smith was about to be pulverized with a
club, she uttered an exclamation of sur,
prise.

you been all this timer"

she smiled pleasantly.

and viii ever be a vital principle in tie
Affairs Of the party, but it will be very
materially tempered dowa as com
pared with the bold stand taken
by the Mckinley bill. The American
people, it has been fully dem
onstratcd, are not extremists; happy
medium ia the thing sought for, aud the
lesson Of this campaign to Republicans
is that the party which gets closest to all
the people on all subjects is the party Of
the future. The extraordinary successes
Of the Republican party in the past have
been attributable to its strict adherence
to this principle. The party departed
from it when it went as far as it did to
support the manufacturing class, and the
best brains Of its leaders are now con-
scious of this fact There will be some
notifications, but the protective prin
ciple in its essence will stand because it
is to the interests Of all the people to
have it so.
