New YORK, Feb 22.--It is now
stated on the best authority that
the Richmond Terminal plan of re-
organization will not be made
public before March l. Meanwhile
conferences are being held with
the representative holders of
existing securities with a view to
arranging for the exchange of these
on such a bisis as will secure the
support of these important interests
of the plan. The delay will also
give the Street time to recover from
the shock caused by the proposition
to issue $5OO,O00,000 of stocks and

these stupendous figures.

RUTHERFORD COLLEGE, Feb. 20.
On yesterday letter from Mr.. B.
n. Duke brought me another check
of S40O for the Rutherford COLLEGE.
Is lrKe county. This, added to the
5000 received a few months apo.
makes $500 given to aid the build
ing since the burning. Nor is this
all that has been done to aid me in
my work here since | made the ac-
quaintance of the Messrs. Duke.
Some time before our great destruc-
tien by fire, my finances had run so
low on account teaching so many
free, that | knew not how 10 carry
my dependent family through the
interim OF summer vacation and /
stated the fact to the Messrs. Duke
and asked the loan of few dollars
to carry me on to tie commence
ment of the fall term; when to nv
astonishment, here came a check for
800. asking me to accept it as a
''small present" from them. This
thing occurred cice for the same
amount each time before the burn
ing.
Is it any wonder that such men
become rich? They are the men
that serve God with their property,
and Of them divine inspiration says:
There is that that scattereth
abroad and yet increaseth."
Would to God such men could
live here forever. When these men
die the world will feel it has been
6etfered by their living in it.
Let every man that loves reli-
gion and education in the State
offer daily prayers for the continued
lives and prosperity of the Messrs.
Duke.

How is that?" asked the reporter
for the New York Sun.
"Why, there are so many tall girls
nowadays that the average height of
men must be raised. Up to few years
ngo the lowest heel was the rage, but
now the heel is decidedly higher-I fig
ure it between half and threc-quartere
of an inch. 1t is all the growth of re-
cent years. 1t isn't fashion, either, for
you'll not find the high heel among tall
men, FITS only among the little fellows
who try to add to their height but ever
so little, But even hale an inch counts
in a mans height. A few years ago,
man Of five feet six was seldom over

feet eight is not infrequently looked,

but weR-proportioned and sohdly built,
which makes their height all the moce
exnsperating TO an understood man.
You see, by adding httie to his heels
and to his hat man just under the az

five foot six inch customer came in here
not long ago and asked for.nIy highest

How People Die

A French medical journal quoted in
the London News, has arrived at the
conclusion that the annual mortality OF
the entire human race amounts, rough.
" speaking. to IS. 200, 900 persons. This,
It Is observed, impllos taat the average
deaths per day are over 1000, being al
the rate OF 8, 7s0 an hour. The notion
OF 90 people dying every minute OF the
day and night all the year round pre-
sents our death statistics perhaps In the
most lugubrious aspect that Is possible.
Pursuing his cheerful researches this
authority finds that fourth OF the race
die before completing their sth year
and one-haH before the end Of the nth
year; but the average duration of life
Is nevertheless about 8s years Further
he has ascertained that centenarians
are SO rare that not more than one per-
son in hundred thousand attain this
patriarchal age.

FORTUNE HUNTERS.
Men Whose Business It Is to Proy Upo
Wealthy Women.


Wealthy Women.
have always remembered how ad-
mirably a Boston merchant of tho last
generation discoursed In public on the
propriety Of explaining business affairs
to women, writes T. W. Higginson in
Harper's Bazaar, but when this was
mentioned years after 10 one OF his
daughters, she said: II only wish be
had applied It In his own family" A
rich heiress, the daughter OF an eminent
fnancier. told me that she was herself
absolutely ignorant Of an money mat
ters; after her fathers death her broth
ers had managed her affairs; then, ''of
course, her husband; but she herself
knew absolutely nothing. It reminded
me Of another heiress I had known,
who was twice married; the first hus-
band lost two-thirds OF her property,
the second made away with the rest OF
it, and she supported herself and her
child for the rest OF her lite-there be-
ing nothing left TO tempt q third for
tune hunter-by giving public readings.
One Of tho minor achievements OF On
eminent financier now under arrest in
New York is stated to be that OF sweep
ing in among his vast losses the whole
property (sls,ooo) OF two ladies, who
had assigned TO him certain stocks or
certihcates to be transferred for their
benefit Perhaps It would be unjust to
call him q swindler, in this case, or to
call those other men fortune hunters;
they may have expected better results;
but certainly the absolute ignorance,
absolute trust and, one might almost
say, absolute folly OF many confiding
women present combined temptation
which sometimes demoralizes the very
elect.

An Ohio paper tells a story OF two
young girls who were recently travel
ing on train In that state. As the
train stopped at station, two ladies
entered and took seats in front OF them;
then stout lady came forward and
greeted them and kept up lively con-
versation until the train started. Then
one OF the two said: ''Sit down near us,
and tell those girls TO sit somewhere
else" So the stout lady turned and
said. In freezing tones: II wish to CON
verse with my friends, and would like
that seat I am Mrs President R., Of
this road" The girls stared at her an
instant, and then one OF them drawled:
"Pleased to meet you, I'm sure. sup
pose You know I am Mrs President
Harrison, Of Washington" The other
girl settling herself comfortably In her
seat, said: "And / am Mrs. Queen VIC
toria-" Neither Of them moved, and
Mrs. President R. had to go back to her
own seat.

A Druidicn1 Custom That Is Still Oh
served In wsrwicisshirc.
History books confidently assert that
the Druida have long ceased TO exist in
England Doubt Is thrown on this
assertion by quaint custom held in
the stormy dawn Of recent morning
around the remnants Of British tu-
nulus which exists at Knightlow In
Warwicl,shire, where the duke OF Buc-
cleuch, as lord of the Hundred. exactcd
payment of certain tributes which date
from the misty times Of our Druidical
ancestors.
The duke did not himself appear in
the character Of Druid To collect the
dues, but was represented by his agent
Payment Is made by twenty-c!ght par
ishes of the old Hundred of Knightlow,
the tax being called ''wroth silver"
What It was Instituted for no body
knows, and nobody knows exactly why
1t was maintained. 1t only produces
about nine shillings, but If any parish
neglccts 10 pay the duke has the right
to exact from 1t q white bull, with red
nose and cars. The representatives Of
the different parishes must assemble ut
the tunulus before or on November II,
march thrice around hollow stone,
saying. ''The wroth money" and de-
posit the tribute in the cavity, from
which the dukes representative gathers
It up, says the London Telegraph.
A philologcr after the school of Dean
Swift's ''Grcels and Latin derived from
English" might explain the meaning of
the name by saying that the parishes
were "wroth" at having to pay It; but
this ctymoiogy is at once nullifed by
the fact that inhabi.ants of the Hun
dred who care to get ont of bed SO early
are entertained In neighboring hos
telry by his grace at substantial
breakfast, costing twenty times moro
than they pay in ''wroth money" 1t is
q curious custom, linking the distant
past with nineteenth century civiliza-
ton.
