American Life.

Times have changed, and to-day in
this country wealth makes no conceal
ment. 1t finds expression in costly
residences, superb interior decorations,
magnificent dining rooms, gorgeous
library appointments, and in much elab-
crate ostentatious display. The reason
OF this is found in the fact that men who
have spent all their lives in the chase
for wealth have little time for the pur-
suits Of scholarship, or even for what IS
properly termed culture. In every
community the men who have the most
money are quite apt to be found the
least intelligent and least cultured
They take a cursOry glance at their
daily paper, but rarely read the maya
zines, and are totally ignorant of what
is going on in the literary and scientific
world. They know nothing of art, mu-
sic or the drama. They are absorbed
IN the whirlpool of business, and many
of them are so deeply involved in the
meshes of avarice that even the strife Of
politics seldom attracts their attention.
They live for themselves alone; acquire
a fortune and die. There is no diff
Guilty found in filling their places, and
the world is apparently no worse off for
their departure. Run over the list of
wealthy men who have died in the last
score of years and mark the truth of this
proposition. But there is hope for the
future. The generation of to-day is
cultivating a broader spirit than the
generation in which our fathers figured
with prominence. The Young men of
the present are profiting by the expert
enCeS of their ancestors, and those who
desire to leave names behind that will
live Will be prompted to do what their
fathers, in their greed and avarice, omit
ted. A portion of their wealth will be
turned back into public channels to
found or endOw benevolent institutions,
and to aid such institutions as arc de-
signed especially for the help of the
struggling masses, who need educated
hands as well as brains. The new order
of rich men will appear in due time.
Indeed, we may safely say that it has
already made its appearance. The man
with ambition or more to-day is not so
great a social force as the man who has
given a portion of his wealth to some
benefcent enterprise. The names of
Peabody, Cooper and Hopkins will out
live those of Aston, Stewart and Van
derbilt. Their memory will be more
hOnored for the public institutions they
have founded than all the rich men in
America who have thus far failed to dis
tinguish themselves by any act of public
beneticence.-St Joseph Mo- Herald.

DEAD IN HIS COTTAGE.
Veteran Found Murdered Three Miles Nor

Veteran Found Murdered Three Miles NOrtf
Of C8darburg.
CEDARBURG, Wis, April John
SchlaX, an old man residing at Kaeh-
ler's Mills, a small settlement three and
a half miles north Of this city, was MUIR
dered in his house at an early hour yes
ter,iay morning. His house was dis
covered to be on fire by some of the
neighbors and on going to the place
they found Schlax living upon the
kitchen floor. About him the floor was
burning and heaps of Goals had been
piled about his body
The body of the old man was dragged
out into the open air in a condition that
rendered recognition impossible. At
the lower part Of the trunk the fire had
almost severed the body, while the
chest too was entirely burned except on
the left side where the charred re-
mains served to connect the head
with the rest of the body. The
head and feet, though somewhat
scorched, were apparently not placed in
the Goals and could be examined easily
About this CHASTITY corpse, hung bits Of
the Grand Army uniform, which the
old veteran always wore. About noon
the Charred remains were examined by
a physician. Two large fractures of the
skull were discovered, while the fore
head had been entirely crushed in,
showing the entire brain. At the back
of the head deep cash was found
which was probably caused by the blow
from an AK or a Ratchet.
There is no doubt but that tho man
was foully murdered, but the perpe-
traitor or cause of the deed is not
known. The man was known to have a
small sum of money, but this was not
disturbed, as some small change was
found upon his person, and in the draw
er of 4 table S14 lay in 4 wallet. \ cor
Oner's inquest was held during the after
noon, but no valuable evidence came to
light.
Schlax was by trade a blacksmith, but
usually passed the winter in the Sol
diers' Home at Milwaukee, He re-
turned from there about ten days ago.
During the day two old soldiers, inmates
Of the Milwaukee Home, were seen
about town. one of them showed a
Through from that place and had a
bad bruise upon one hand which
evidently had been very recently
received. 1t is surmised that
these two soldiers had quarreled
with Schlax, while they lived together
in the home Both have been traced
and late last night one of them was
being watched at Saukville, where
officers were waiting to hear from Dis
trict Attorney Schwin, to know how to
act. The cOrOncr's jury will meet again
next Wednesday. Warrants are out for
the arrest Of the two soldiers.

FAIR BUILDINGS DAMAGED.
The Wind Causes Considerable Loss on the
EYnOSLtiOn Grounds.


Exposition Grounds.
CHICAGO, April S.-All night the
inspectors of the construction de-
partment at the Worlds Fair grou nds
made anxious tours among the
great structures that bore the
brunt OF the heavy storm of last
night. The main solicitude was in re-
gard to the great roofs, which W ere

done was comparatively small, the

The open side of the building was to-

Among the main fair structures damage
was confined to minor leaks, started in

states government, the manufacturer.
and the transportation buildings.
In the last named structures
the painters will be obliged to
do over again considerable work. No
exhibits were injured except a number
OF photographs i'll the New South Wales
collection. Director General Davis said
this afternoon that the severe test
showed that the bugaboo of leaky roofs
had been thoroughly conquered.
Close to the fisheries building stands
a Ealf-Completed restaurant called

round towers erected to the height

The bog Lost His Friend.

\ plumber at Narragansctt had a
horse y years old, which was used for
carrying around his masters material
when that was necessary, but spent most
of his time in a small pasture. \ fox
terrier, also belonging to the plumber,
was an inseparable companion OF the
old horse. When the old horse was
harncssed to the cart the dog was on
guard to see that nothing was stolen
from the cart. In the pasture the dog
was always shifting around the horse
and was never 50 delighted as when the
horse would begin to roll in the grass,
which it often did, apparently to please
the dog, which would jump about in
every direction, and bark for pure Joy.
At night when the horse was put in the
barn the dog always entered with its
friend and slept on the animals body.
One day the ncighbOrS heard the most
dismal howls coming from the pasture,
and found that the old horse had died.
There was the terrier on the dead body,
hoWling out its sorrow and misery. The
dog remained with the body until it was
removed for huriaI.-Nrw York Tribour.

A horse which had been hauling its
owner around on an improviscd sleigh
lately TO his great establishment was
treated to a jolly coast down hill, SAYS
the Brandon Banner. The outfit had
reached the top of a long hill out near
Woodstock and as there was no shafts
to the sled it ran up against the horse
heels. lie reared up and, slipping, fell
over backward on the sled. The driver
saw him coming and got out of the way.
The stakes at the side of the sled held
the horse on and away he went shoot
ing down the hill, till finally the sled
Brought up on a railway track The
stakes were removed and the horse
walked ont UniniUrcd. He was turned
about and hauled the sled and his mas
ter up the hill, which suited him better
than the riding down ON his back. The
sight of the horse going down the in
cline, with his legs waving in the air,
was very funny.
