THE UNEARNED INCREMENT

Some months ago debate was arranged Michigan congressman, now a widely known Tribune writer and gifted lec- turer, and Henry George.
 The debate was held at Syracuse, and was fairly conducted in the presence of over 2,000 people, of whom 600 or more were friends of MT. George, and came expecting to see his opponent used up.
 The single tax advocate opened by an argument for "the unearned increment'' as the basis for his theory of taxing only land.
 When he closed, MT. Horr came for ward and said: "I have book entitled Progress and Poverty Did you write that book ?" The author answer ed, "Yes," and Horr continued: 1T find something in that book which surprises me. On it's title page is an inscription showing it to be copyrighted by Hen ry George. Did you copyright that book ?" And again it's author said "Yes," the audience waiting curiously to sec what all this meant.
 "Well," said MT. Horr, "it is well written book, although do not indorse it's views, and it is fair that your labor in writing it should be paid. I should say $3, ,000-yes, $5,000-was due you for work as its author. But your publishers say that over 200, GOO have been printed and sold. Now, you did no work in print ing, pushing, sending over the land, or selling it. You just sat still and raked in from your copyright some $50 900 or $40 000 of 'unearned increment which by that copyright you compelled your dealers to pay you, and now you say that nobody but landowners should be taxed for such increment 1 am greatly sur prised!"
 The audience laughed and shouted long and loud, the two hours were filled with the talks of the two debaters, but from this opening to the end Henry George was a used up man if the actions of the hearers and the ovation of the throng crowding around R. G. Horr at the close were any standard of judgment. Since then Mir. George has not met MT. Horr in debate, probably never will. .,

so that when he goes forth, exchanging this balmy tropic air for the keen breeze, of frozen harbor, it may be-through some subtle change in his system which has robbed his lungs of their power of re- sistance-their ability to endure the onset is gone, and in few days his death "ef pneumonia" is recorded. The age when this great increase occurs, "after forty" is significant. Before that as ''junior," or clerk, or office boy, the younger man often emerges into the outer air, and gets his blood healthfully oxygenated; and, of course, the older the man the more close ly he ''sticks to his desk," till the subtle poison of unrenewed air does its deadly work, and he ceases to be at his desk al together. The subtle, invisible element that works this demoralizing change il the tissues of the body, is not the carbon | ic acid gas that we were once taught kill ed us, it is the tiny modicum of dead an imal matter that leaves the lungs along with the mephitic gas; and just now New | oA IN 10 hoNlIlSS OUJOCb lOSOOu WhdU Q poison it can generate, for "typhus" is its highest degree of achievement.

{HartfOrd Times9 CHICAGO'S SKY-SCRAPERS.

One conspicuous but very questionable architectural feature of the western me- tropolis is the enormous height of many of it's buildings. These tower up to alti- tudes undreamed of in the earlier and simpler days. Some of them range from fourteen to eighteen, and it is said even twenty stories in height. They are con- structed, most of them, of steel, including the foundation, and on this solid metallic main structure is built facing of brick, stone or iron, merely for protection from the weather, and for the sake of appear ance. So general has grown the rage for tall buildings in that original and unique town, that many constructions were said to be in course of preparation to surpass the elevation of even the tallest of the completed structures. Of course such tall buildings, aside from any natural ap- prehension they may inspire of a possible crash in gale notwithstanding the solid ity and care shown. in their construction, do much to spoil the streets on which they stand. They necessarily more or less shut out the light. In case of fire, too, such lofty structures must be dan- gerous.
 The city government has been for a long time wrestling with this problem of too tall buildings, and of some ordinance restricting the height to which the sky scrapers shall be carried. The question has now been decided in the city council, by an enactment limiting the height of | all buildings hereafter constructed to 13O feet. A committe had reported in favor 1 of fixing the limit at 160 feet, or only 20 feet less than the elevation of the spire of the South Congregational church in Hart ford. Here is the dispatch:
 CHICAGO, March 9.-After months of labor on an ordinance limiting the height of buildings, committee of the city coun- cil last night reported that in it's judgment the height of Chicago buildings should be 1 limited to 100 feet. A long debate fol- lowed the report to the council, and the ordinance was finally amended to read that no building should be over 130 feet in height-or ten stories-and passed in that form.
 It is said that the highest church spire in Hartford is the one on the Asylum Hill Congregational church-23O feet above the pavement. The South Baptist church spire (which also is of solid stone) is 226 feet high. St. Patrick's is 216, and the Pearl Street, with it's symmetrical pointed tower of stone, is 212 feet above the walk. The Chicago buildings were rapidly reach ing the 20O-feet mark, when this ordinance has stepped in to keep them down to the modest height of 130 feet, or fifty feet short of the point reached by the tip oi the South Congregational church spire in | Hartford. It seems to be sensible restriction.

HEART DISEASE CURABLE.-The truth
 of this statement may be doubted by many, but when Dr. Franklin Miles, the eminent Indiana specialist, claims that Heart Disease is curable and proves it by thousands of testimonials of wonderful
 cures by his New Heart Cure, it attracts the attention of the millions suffering with
 short breath, palpitation, irregular pulse, wind in stomach, pain in side or shoulder, smothering spells, fainting, dropsy, etc.
 A. F. Davis, Silver Greek, Neb., by using four bottles of Dr. Miles New Heart Cure, was completely cured after twelve years suffering from Heart Disease. ThIs wonderful remedy is sold by w. D. Heald.

Rockville Journal.) John Newton Stickney,


 Monday there was laid away in the tomb one whose death has cast shadow over this city. The Journal, in it's last issue, printed the obituary of Deacon John Newton Stickney, and to-day it prints an account of the funeral services participated in by hundreds of mourners. Deacon John Newton Stickney was one of the grand men of this age. We review his life and we see at every point noble characteristics, large-hearted deeds of philanthropy, quiet and unassuming char ities, and through all and in all a magnifi- cent, unalterable, unehanging faith in God. He was so. unostentatious, so hum- ble in his opinions of himself and his acts, that it is almost impossible to form an estimate of his character that would do him full justice. TEs.. He was ever the friend of the poor and the friendless, and many 8 sorrow-strick- en and poverty -burdened family recalling his substantial sympathies in dark days, shed quiet tears of sorrow when his spirit left the earthly clay and entered into rest. 1 His voice was often heard and his judgments sought in important councils of the church and state, and the men here with those who in commercial circles were associated with him will miss and mourn him long.
 | He was so unassuming in his conduct | that a. fulI Senso Of hic invaluable aceict ance was not realized till his death, and the full comprehension of his loss becomes more manifest every day.
 He was Puritan of the nineteenth century. Pure in life and thought. In. flexible in his conceptions of right and wrong Absolutely the soul of honor Faithful in every relation in life. A de. voted husband, a kind father, firm friend, a wise counsellor, and the living example of Gods noblest work, an honest l man.
 I The will of the late J. N. Stickney gives the bnlk of his property, including bis stock in the New York Journal oi Commerce, to his three daughters and son. Provision is made that Mrs. l.. H Hall shall occupy the homestead in Rock vile. There are various bequests of small amounts to friends and old servants. The public bequests are as follows: Ameri- can Board of Foreign Missions, $5, ,000 Missionary Society of Connecticut, $2, 2,500; Fund for Ministers, $1,O0O; American
