MIN of millions.

William Waldorf Astor always wears his
oyercoat collar turned upabout his ears in
winter, even on days that are clear and
bright, says a writer in Truth. His eyes
are usually bent upon the ground. Occa-
sionally he wanders into Delmonico's
with q preoccupied air, sits down at a
table In far corner and eats an extremely
modest lunch, fianked by two bottles OF
ginger ale. He does not look up at all,
though the eyes of half the people in the
place are upon the man who owns $780,
600, 900 worth of property. When he has
finished his lunch he tips the waiter lib
orally, pulls on his overcoat, turns up the
collar, tilts his hat very far down over his
eyes, and wanders slowly forth with the
Astor air Of preoccupation.

THE ORPHANS Benefit.
A Large Attendance at the Gaiety
Opera House and a Success.

There was very large attendance at
the Gaiety Opera House last evening, on
the occasion of the benefit for the Rhode
Island Catholic Orphan Asylum. The
performance of "Mother Goose" under
the auspices of the Sisters of Mercy was a
decided success, and Manager Keith gave
the use of the Opera House free. About
$50 children took part In the concert, and
1t was a very pretty sight.
The costumes represented some of the
Mother Goose characters. 1.-The Kazoo
Baud" was quite "a feature and the mill
tary drill was successfully gone through
and won applause. There were also reci-
tations and songs. The Mother Goose
part was in three acts and, set to the
music which the children know SO well,
was very interesting.
The object was TO secure money to i'm
prove the grounds OF the asylum and 1t is
estimated that 81, 500 was obtained for
that purpose.
Mrs. Mr.. j. Kelly was the accompanist
and Miss M. Lynn gave two recitations.

THE INCREASE OF POPULATION.

Some Widely Held Fallacies Corrected
by Francis A. walker.
Down to 1s4O the real manufactures OF
the United States had been the production
OF a million freehold farms. The rare
mechanical endowments OF our people
were now to be turned to the creation OF
system OF technical manufactures,
which, in spite of much laundering and
meddling, was, in half century, to lead
the United States to the proud position OF
the first industrial nation of the world.
Moreover, as intimated, a different feel
ing had come to animate American So
ciety.
The popular notion that the relative de-
cline in the national increase has been
due to a loss OF physical vigor will not
bear the test OF evidence. At the time
when our population was purest, when
immigration was SO slight as to be hardly
appreciable, the American people had
shown the capability Of maintaining
rate OF increase which should double their
numbers in twenty-five years, and this
over vast regions and through long
periods.

influence OF n more generous diet, a better
understanding of the laws OF health, and
the introduction Of modern medicine.
There Is not the slightest statistical or
physiological evidence TO justify attribut-
ing the effect we are considering to such
cause. IL was all the natural result of
the changed social and economic condi-
tions under which the American people
had come to live.
Decided, however, as was the reduction
OF the rate OF increase after 1910, the re-
productive impulse OF the population has
been sufficient, aided by vast accessions
from abroad, to achieve gain Of 5000, 900
between 1910 and 1850; OF 100000 be-
tween 1860 and 1880; of 100000 between
1850 and 1870 n decade which embraced
four years Of desolating civil war; OF H..
10000 between 1870 and 1880 and OF 12,-
10000 between 1880 and 1890
In the 100 years which this brief review
embraces, the population OF the United
States has increased TO sixteen times its
numbers in 1z96. This population covers
more than eight times the territory IL
held with such a feeble grasp a century
ago. The land has been filled with wealth
far exceeding that OF any other nation OF
the world. Such have been the fruits ofa
hundred years OF free government, edu-
Gated labor and n popular tenure Of the

BEN Butler Leads the List and jay

Some one was saying the other day that
apart from transitory considerations OF
pulchritude, politics and crime, the most
Interesting American to meet In the street
was Ben Butler. Ben's chief rivals, as
named, In the public eye were Grover
Cleveland, John L.Sullivan and Mrs. Cleve-
land. To these Edison should be added,
and place should be made, too, for Jay
Gould. To the average American 1t Is an
event to clap eyes on any one OF these
notables, and In the cases OF Gen. Butler
and Mr.. Gould there is the additional
spice of excitement that you never can be
sure that the precise moment at which
you are looking at either OF them, will not
happen to be the one in which the Old
Boy will come to carry him on.-Life.

Mr.. Howells' New Work.

The announcement that Mr.. Howells
will leave Harpsr'S Magazine, to take
editorial charge of the Cosmopolitan, on
March 1st, calls attention to the process
of building up the staff of great mag
azine. Probably in no monthly has the
evolution been so distinctly under the
eyes of the public as in the case of the
Cosmopolitan. The. first step after its
editorial control was assumed by Mr.
John Brisben Walker, was to add to il
Edward Everett Hale, who took charge
of a department called social Pro
blems," subjects concerning which the
greatest number of people are thinking
to-day. Mr.. Hale, who is a student,
fair minded man, a thorough American
and man of broad sympathies, has
filled this position in a way to attract
the attention not only of this country
but of leading European journals. Some
months later, a. department twas estab-
lished called 1.-The Review of Current
Events" To take charge of this, a man
was needed who should be familiar not
only with the great events of the past
thirty years, but who knew personally
the leading men of both the United
States and Europe who could interpret
motives and policies. Murat Halstead
accepted this position, with the distinct
understanding that his monthly review
should be philosophical and never par
tisan. The next step in the history OF
the Cosmopolitan, was the placing OF
the review of the intellectual movement
of the mouth in the hands of Mr.. BrandeT
Matthews, who for some time has
been recognized as one of the two OF
three ablest critics in the United States.
Finally came the acceptance of the
editorship conjointly with Mr.. Walker
by Mr.. VIM. Dean Howells. Mr.. How
ellis, who is recognized universally as the
foremost American of letters, upon the
expiration of his contract with Harper
Brothers, On the first of March will take
in hand the destinies of a magazine
which promises to exercise a share of
influence with the reading classes of the
United States. His entire services will
be given to the CosmOpOIitDn, and every
thing he writes will appear in that
magazine during the continuance of his
editorShip.

SHE WAS MRS. SIMPSON.


ST. Louis Republic.
Two refined looking ladies sat in the
members gallery of the House of Rep
resentatiyes picking out the various
statesmen on the floor with sthe aid of a
chart in the Congressional Directory. A
rather vociferously attired young lady
sauntered in and took seat beside
them.
"Do tell me where Jerry Simpson isr'
exclaimed the newcomer; "I've heard so
much about him."
One of the ladies pointed out the AL
lance Kansan in the arena beneath.
"Oh, no, that isn't Jerry Simpson"
protested the loud young lady confident
ly. 81 would know him, because I've
seen his pictures"
"And L have known Mr.. Simpson for
some time myself" replied the lady.
"Well, he does not seem to be such a
bad looking man after ALL" the vocifer-
GUS young lady commented, after care
full scrutiny 81 wonder if he brought
his wife with him?"
81 believe she is in the city," the quiet
lady asserted.
81 would like to see her, too. They
do say she isn't so very awful How do
you suppose she likes all the things the
papers say about him?" And the fash
ionable maiden ratified away several
conjectures in regard to Mrs. Simpson.
"She doesn't mind it," responded the
elder lady.
"Do you know Mrs. Simpson, too?"
inquired the young sight-seer.
Every WE'LL" remarked the other, Sc
renely. 81 am Mrs. Simpson"
The following proceedings were be-
reft of interest for the one in modish ar
ray, who did not stand on the order of
her departure.
