DIED, December 1, 1892, at hel
home in Chicago, Miss Bertha Estes
1t is not probable that one of oul
readers has ever heard the name OF
deceased mentioned before and all
will doubtless ask who was Bertha
Estes? She was a poor colored girl
who graduated few months since
from training school for nurses
and, since then, devoted her life and
finally yielded it in the line Of duty.
She was engaged to take care of a
child suffering from virulent at
tack Of diphthera. She was kind,
faithful and attentive to the little
sufferer night and day. She took en-
tire charge Of the patient and would
not allow the father and mother to
come near for fear they might con-
tract the disease. The devoted nurse
had worn herself out with waiting
and watching and loss of sleep, but
she never murmured, never COM
planned. The child recovered but
the devoted nurse. after all danger
had passed, herself yielded to the
dangerous disease and went home to
die. She was only poor colored
girl but she sacrificed everything
health and even life itself-in the
line of duty. What more could she
have done? She gave up her life
that another might be restored to
the arms of loving parents. Her
sacrifice was Christ-like. After
death her remains will not be depos-
tied in some costly mausoleum by
kind and loving hands but SIM
pie white slab will mark her last
resting place-or it may never even
be designated. But Bertha Estes
was heroine and more worthy of
our eulogies and plaudits than
thousands of others who have re-
ceived them. What she did was not
for glory or fame or wealth simply
duty was her actuating motive. It
is true that columns of the press
will not be devoted in adulation of
her self sacrificing and heroic death
that outside of her own city, her
death and the incidents relating
thereto, will never even be recorded
but if there are degrees of happi-
ness and honor in the great hereaf-
ter, and we believe there are, the re-
cording angel, in making his assign
ments, will see to it that poor Ber-
tina Estes has one of the most ex-
allied stations in Heaven.

As A rule we believe that when /;

As A rule we believe that when a
man dies his evil deeds should be
buried with him, and that the often
repeated expression, ''speak we'll OF
the dead or remain silent" should
be generally followed. But the
death of Jay Gould, we think, fur
nishes a notable exception to the
rule. Those who live entirely for
themselves are not entitled to that
charity that is usually SO generously
accorded to the departed; and the
lives of our public and prominent
citizens being always open to public
criticism are the proper subjects for
review after death. IL the deceased
has been public benefactor it is
but proper and only justice to his
memory that his good deeds be re-
counted. But simply and Only be-
cause a large fortune has been ac-
quired by bold, unscrupuloas. and
often disreputable methods Is no
reason why charity should throw its
protecting mantle around bis men,
DRY, forgetting his faults and ex-
tolling only his virtues. Such lives
should not be exhibited for the ap-
probation and emulation Of good
citizens. Avarice and greed, for the
sake Of accommodating and hoard
ing wealth, without any reference to
the good to be employed by its pos
SCISSOR, is not commendable trait of
character and should not be ell
couraged. So far as the accumu-
lation Of a magnificent fortune, by
his own indefatigable exertions and
untiring energy is concerned Mr..
Gould perhaps furnishes the most
notable example on record in any
country or in any age. In this re-
spect he stands almost alone consid-
.ering the vast fortune accumulated.
It is true that his brilliant success
shows what untiring zeal and ener-
gy, with a singleness of purpose, may
accomplish, an example worthy of
emulation, perhaps, but, when
we link with these characteristics
entire absence of conscientious
scruples as to means employed, we
find nothing worthy Of commenda-
ton and we should be remiss in our
duty if we did not so declare. To
acquire his large fortune he has de-
liberately bankrupted many and that
apparently without the slightest
conjunction and, often, those who
relied implicitly upon his judgment
and honor. His pathway to 6nan-
cial success is literally strewn with
the wrecks of his confding victims.
The only true measure Of success in
life is the good done to our fellow
men and the man who has not made
the world better or happier, in some
degree, for having lived in it, has
been a failure, no difference if he has
accumulated a magnificent fortune
and, especially, has he been failure
if his immense accumulations have
been acquired by the downfall and
at the expense of others.

Two Kinds of Italians.

The monument which is to be erected
in New Orleans in memory of the late
Chief of Police Hennessey is nearing
completion at the works of the Hallowell
(Me.) Granite company. The monu-
ment has three bases, the lowest ~ feet
square. On the top base the name
''Hennessey" is chiseled in raised let
ters. The capital is two feet in height
with paneled sides. Surmounting the
capitals is plain granite column thirteen
feet in height. AT the foot of the col
umn is the coat of arms of Louisiana,
and above that is a representation of the
dead chiefs badge. From the draped
top of the column are suspended a
policeman's belt and a club, like those
worn by the dead chief.
A singular circumstance in connection
with this monument is that seven of the
nine men employed in making it are
Italians. Speaking of that, Joseph
Archi, who has charge of the work. said,
1.-THE Italians who are doing this work
are of different class altogether from
the New Orleans Italians who killed
Hennessey, and they are in perfect sym
pathy with the Americans who shot our
evil minded countrymen." Boston Tran
