STEPHEN GIRARD's BEQUEsTs.-
When Stephen Girard, of Philadelphia,
died he left fortune of S9,COO,CCO
which he had acquired in the usual
way bv strict attention to business. In
his lifetime Girard was not noted for his
hospitality; in his manners he was
Grabbed and unapproachable. In
small affairs he was misery to the last
degree and penurious even to mean
ness. He spent little money on him
self was careless about his own APP
pearance or the shabbiness of his sur
roundings, and found the keenest de-
light in hard and unremitting labor.
Yet in a large public way he was gen.
erous to the extent of lavishness. Dur
ing his lifetime he gave literally to the
Improvement of Philadelphia and made
munificent contributions to charities.
One of his notable deeds was the or
ganization of yellow fever hospital in
the epidemic of 1898, and over which he
exercised personal supervision. By the
provisions of his will his fortune was
beoueathed to charitable and education
al institutions, 100000 going to the
college for orphans. The peculiar ma
ture of Il en- IN is b t exemplified by a
certain clause in the will, which pro-
yided that no minister should hold any
connection with the college or even be
admitted as visitor.-New York

it colIided with the express train,
which was running at the rate of so
miles an hour. The two engines came
together with terrific force. The en-

The engineer was killed instantly, and
the fireman was taken from the wreck
in badly bruised condition and died
few hours after. None of the passcn,
gers were injured, although they had

frightened. Shaile was at once placed
