Few people, even among profes
sional politicians, have much idea of
the wealth of the world. or of the man
ner in which that wealth is growing
Still fewer have any notion of the po
tentiality of wealth to increase. NJ.
Jannet quotes the elaborate calcula-
ton of an ingenious author to show
that 100 francs, accumulating at per
cent compound interest for seven cen
turies, would be sufficient to buy the
whole surface of the globe, both land
and water, at the rate of 100000
francs (S200000) the hectare. The
actual growth of riches has not hither
to assumed such inconvenient pro
portions.
NJ. Jannet cites various authorities
to show that the wealth of the United
Kingdom exceeds 100000, 1000; that
Of France, S40,000,000, 900; and that of
all Europe $200,000,000,000; that OF
the United States, S7O,000,000,000. Ii
we place the wealth of the rest of the
world at 100000 we shall ar
rive at an aggregate of S400,000,000,
000 We should have, we may add,
to multiply this vast sum 10000 times
before we reached the total to which,
according to NJ. Jannet's ingenius
authority, 100 francs accumulating at
5 per cent compound interest for zoe
years would grow.
The figures are SO vast that they
convey no appreciable idea to the or
dinary reader. 1t may assist the ap-
prehension if it be added that France
on an average possesses more than
$1,000, the United Kingdom more
than $1,000, for each member of the
population. Just 200 years ago Sir
W, Petty estimated the entire wealth
of England at only S1,250,00O,000
Two centuries, therefore, have increas
ed it forty fold. But the chief add
tions to it have been made in the las
fifty years and we believe that we are
not far from wrong in saying that the
sum which is annually added to the
United Kingdom amounts to $1,000,
100000, or, in other words, IS nearly
equal TO its entire wealth at the time
of the Revolution Of 1888

Forest Fires Raging on Three Sides of
the City of Memphis.

the City of Memphis.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov. 13.-There is
no relief from the forest fires over in
Arkansas, but on the other hand fires
have broken out in North Mississippi
on an even more extensive scale than
those in Arkansas, and now the entire
Yazoo delta is threatened with the
flames. Memphis is hemmed in on
three sides by vast fires, and it is i'm
possible to enter the city by any road
without passing through mile after
mile of heat and smoke.
The fire in Mississippi started 10
miles south of Memphis and extends
through Desoto and Tunica counties
to the town of Tunica. This fire close
ly skirts the Yazoo & Mississippi road,
and its origin is credited to a recent
visit of inspection paid by officials
of the Illinois Central. The sec
tion foreman, anxious to make
as good showing as possible, set
fire to the grass along the roadside.
All vegetation being dry and parched,
the flames so started were soon famed
into a conhagration that spread
through the forest. Plantations have
been wiped away, with buildings,
fences and ungathered crops A great
deal of cotton is still ungathered, and
all this is in the line of the flames, and
being destroyed.
The fires in Arkansas are located
along the line of the Little Rock &
Memphis road from the river 81 miles
inland. Large forces of men are at
work on this road, the Iron Mountain
& Kansas City, and the Memphis &
Birmingham removing all infamable
material from along the tracks. The
81 miles from here. Many feet of the
Little Rock & Memphis track were
burned out one-half mile west from
the river.
The fire near Mound City, which is
the nearest point to the river reached
by the blaze, has burned itself out.
This did much damage. The fences
on the Green plantation near Mound
City were burned, as also were great
piles of slaves and lumber. A 500
acre tract belonging to j. c. Neely,
of Memphis, was swept of everything
in the shape of vegetation, dead or
alive. Much valuable timber in the
same neigh borhood, belonging to Mr..
Kennedy Jones, is also gone. A tres
tie on the Iron Mountain road near
Elmont took fire. but no other damage
was done to the track in that vicinity.
Near Edmondson two negroes, one a
young girl, were burned to death in
the swamp. Many bones, said to be
human, have been recovered.

DEADLY DYNAMITE.
Indiana Worlmen Attempt to
Thaw the Stuff.
It Explodes and Three of Them Are
RiIled-One of the Unfortunatcs
Literally Blown to
Pieces

HUNTINGTON, Ind, Nov. 10. - Tho
worst disaster that ever occurred in
Ahis city was dynamite explosion
which took place Friday morning ut a
few minut s of z o'clock.
Norton Keefer, John Flynn and John
Hartman were employed by Henry 5.
Hallwood, of Columbus, and Henry
Keefer, of this city, contractors for the
Flint creek sewer. The men were en-
gagged in thawing dynamite on the
bank of the sewer on First street.
There were some fifty pounds of the
explosive and in some of the sticks the
firing caps had already been inserted.
After the explosion only fragments
of Hartman could be found and they
were gathered up in baskets. The
bodies of Keefer, brother of the con-
tractor, and that of John Flynn were
found some distance away, but life
was not extinct They were admin
istered to by surgeons, but only lived
an hour or two. Keefer was placed in
an ambulance to be taken to his home,
but died on the way.
A large hole was blown in the earth
where the explosion occurred, and
pieces of human remains were blown
through the sides of houses. Frag-
ments of flesh and clothing clung to
the branches of trees.
John Redding was 30 rods away. ap-
preaching the point where the three
ill-fated men were at work; he was
carrying fifty pounds of dynamite
on his shoulder. The explosion

weather boards and the plastering
torn off and furniture torn to pieces
inmates were stunned and some are
Frustrated. The damage to property
cannot be calculated.

going Admiral" He leaves behind
hard fighting and severe service and
without u blemish. His total active
service amounts to forty-eight years
and five months, and twenty-five years
and eight months of that service were
spent at sea.
Admiral Gherardi was born in Louisiana
sixty-two years ago and was appointed TO the
naval service from Massachusetts June 20, 1915,
Us q midshipman. He became a passed mid
shipman in 1852, a master in 1855 and was n
lieutenant on the Lancaster attached to the
Pacific squadron, when the war broke out.
The year 1862 saw him a lieutenant COM
mander blockading south Atlantic ports,
Notwithstanding his southern birth. From
that time to tho end of the war he was in the
thickest OF the fighting. He was in the en-
gagement at Fort Macon on the Mohican,
commanded the Chocura on the west gulf
blockade, the Port Royal in the same service
in the battle of Mobile and finally COM
manded the Pequat in the north Atlantic
blockade at tho close OF hostilities. Ee was
commissioned as commander in 1866 and cap

munds on the Pacific and north Atlantic.
Ono particularly gallant action recorded of

modore In 1884 and an admiral in 1887 Two
years later he took command of the north At

AT ANARCHY'S GRAVE.
Memorial Services at tho Tombs of Par
Sons and His Fellows.

CHICAGO, Nov. 12.-Fifteen hundred
anarchists went out to Waldheim Sun
day afternoon to attend demonstra-
tion in memory of Spies, Parsons,
Fischer, Lingg and Engel who were
executed for the part which they
took in the Haymarket riot. Herr
Most addressed the assemblage. About
1000 of the red bedecked men paraded
the streets and marched to the Wiscon-
sin Central depot, where they boarded
u train of twelve cars. The train was
wrecked, however, at Fortieth street,
and the passengers had some difficulty
in reaching their destination.
The engine left the track at an open
swith, and is total wreck, together
with the front cars of the train. The
engineer and fireman jumped, but the
former received internal injuries from
which he may die.
The burying ground was finally
reached and wreaths of flowers,
mostly red in color, were placed on
the graves OF the five dead anarchists.
The first speech of the day was
made by L. NJ. Quinn, and for an an
! archistic discourse was exceedingly
mild. His remarks were very quietly
received. The crowd was cautioned to
keep quiet, but forgot itself when
Herr Most, the New York agi-
tator, appeared. Herr Mosts style
seemed to take well and pro-
longed applause was frequent His re-
marks were of a somewhat rabid char
acter.
The speaking of Herr Most in Chi
cago has caused more than little
trouble in anarchistic circles. One
faction did not want him and held a
separate memorial in the West Side
Turner hall Much bad feeling has
been created, and 1t is believed that a
permanent split has been caused in
the societies of anarchism.

HIS CAREER ENDS.
Death, After "a Brief Illness, of State
Treasurer Ramsay, of Illinois.

Death, After Brief Illness, of State
Treasurer Ramsay, of Illinois.
CARLYLE, Ill, Nov. 1".-Hon. Rufus
n. Ramsay, treasurer of the state of
Illinois, died AT his home in this city
Sunday morning. Mr. Ramsay was
taken suddenly i'll Wednesday
afternoon, but was not confined
to his bed till Thursday His
condition was not thought to
be serious until Friday night, when
his malady developed into erysipelas,
complicated with heart trouble. At 5
o'clock Sunday morning Mr.. Ramsay
complained that the room was too
warm, requesting that window be
partially lowered. Directly afterward
he arose to sitting posture and inn
mediately sank to his pillow. Death
occurred at 5:l5 n. IN.
The death of State Treasurer Ram
say has caused vacancy which, under
the state constitution, must be filed
by the governor by appointment. Gov.
Altgeld and Mr.. Ramsay were warm
personal friends and it is generally as
sumed here the governor will natural
ly fill the vacancy by appointing
Elijah p. Ramsay, the son of the late
treasurer, who has acted as assistant
treasurer during his fathers admins
tration.
Rufus n. Ramsay was born at Trenton. In
this (Clnton) county. May 20, 1889, and resided
in this county during his entire life. He spent
three years ut Illinois college, also some time
ut McKendrce college, and was gradu-
nted from the state university ut Blooming
ton. Ind. in 1884 He studied law at Belle-
Vile and was admitted - the bar In 1855,
practicing some years at Carlyle. In 1870, in
partnership with Henry Geiter, he organized
the banks ut Carlyle and Lebanon. This part
nershisp was alterward dissolved and
Mr.. Ramsay retained the Carlyle bank.
He was county clerk for eight years,
and served two years in the legis-
lature. In ls9, he was nominated for the ofice
of state treasurer on the democratic ticket and
elected by handsome majority Mr.. Ramsay
had for many years been identified with farm
ing interests being the largest landowner in
this county. He was also the proprietor OF the
Ramsey banking house OF this city.l

Five PER CENTS.
Tho President About to Order Another
Issue of CSC, 900, 900.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13,-President
Cleveland has practically given in
structions to Secretary Carlisle to
place S50,000,000 more United States
bonds on the market to secure gold for
the treasury and strengthen the gov
ernment's credit. When the news was
first given out in Wall street Saturday
morning there seemed to be no rea-
son to doubt its authenticity. The
story was confirmed Monday morn
ing. Secretary Carlisle has been
opposed to another bond issue. He
does not consider it necessary, ut
least, for the present, 90 preserve the
governments credit. The president,
however thinks itabsolutely essential
to add S5O, 900, 900 to the gold supply in
the treasury and in this as on several
former occasions Secretary Carlisle
has promptly acquiesced in the presi-
dents policy. There is no personal
difference between the president and
Secretary Carlisle growing out of this
disagreement on matters of party poll
cy, it is said.
There is some question as to the i'm
mediate necessity of issuing bonds,
and the president and Secretary Car
Isle hold different opinions. The
president is not in favor of permitting
the gold reserve to fall lower than 1t is
at present He believes the stability of
the currency is already threatened by
the limited gold basis upon which
it is being circulated. Secretary Car
Isle, on the other hand, while he ac-
knowledges the advisability of increas-
ing the gold reserve, If possible, does
not think there is any immediate dam
ger either to the credit of the govern
ment or to the standing of the treas
ury department from the depleted con-
dition of the gold fund. While the re-
serve is lower now by nearly 81, 900
than it was when the last bond issue
was decided upon, the available cash
in the treasury is about $50, 200, 900
more.
The gold reserve has been steadily
but slowing increasing since August
10. Upon that date there was but
$50, 400, 7s7 in gold coin in the treasury,
while now there is nearly 100000, 900,
an increase of S553.275 since October
81. At the Same time the actual ex-
cess of expenditures over receipts for
| the fiscal year amounts to S1S,940, 642,
and the deficit is constantly increas-
ing. During the last ten days expen-
ditures exceeded the receipts nearly
81, ,0O0,0 900.
Now there is little probability that
congress will be asked to enact any
legislation to authorize the issuance
of 3per cent bonds, because the ex-
perience of the administration has
been that congress is too widely di-
vided upon all questions of finance to
pass any bills likely to afford immedi-
ate relief Secretary Carlisle will,
therefore, be forced again to issue
per cent. bonds under the law of 1874
and sell them at a premium, so as to
bring the actual rate of interest down
to 8 per cent, or as low as possible.
