IN this world he added with dogmatic
ferVor. 1t is not my intention to leave
all my wealth to my children-the peo-
pie shall benefit by my effort as far as
l am able to confer that benefit, and 1
snail leave as a legacy to those of my
family an incentive to the effort which
contend is the source of happiness
II do not believe that a man with a
full competence which precludes the ne

piled is able to enjoy the rational pleas
ures of this life. And the man who IS
engaged in congenial labor is the hap
piest of all men.
''The power to concentrate wealth is
a menace to the country. 1t is the root
of the corruption that is sapping the
foundations of our government. The mil
lfonniras, syndicates and corporations
are impoverishing the people and ruin

socialist. Perhaps l am, but L am not

PAT MADE HIMsELF HEARD.

Father O'Halloran had a telephone
put into the parsonage in connection
with the church and the parochial
school. Patrick McFee, his reverence
handy man, was instructed in the use
of the instrument, and it was only the
next day when Pat. busting out the
church, heard the ringing of the tele-
phone bell Taking down the receiver,
Patrick was pleased to hear Father
O'Halloran's familiar voice asking
something or other about his work. In
essaying to answer he remembered
that his reverence was long way off
and therefore he shouted into the
transmitter at the top of his voice
'I don't understand you, Patrick, :"
said the telephone.
Pat tried again with no better sue
cess. On his third trial he came near
splitting the telephone, but again
came Father O,Halloran's voice, II
can't hear what you're saying, Pat
rick"
Pat had by this time lost something
of his patience, and, as he stood
gathering breath for a fourth blast.
he couldn't refrain from soliloquizing
in low tone: ''Ah, may the divil
fly away wild the ould foolr' But Pat
dropped the telephone like hot potato
and fell to his knees in dismay when
he heard Father Halloran's voice once
again:
Now 1 hear you perfectly, Patrick"

BALTIMORE, Md, October 19.-Senators
German and Gibson, with others, will ad-
dress meetings III Cecil county this even
ing. The two Maryland Senators have been
in New York and Philadelphia during the
week soliciting subscriptions to the cam
paign fund, and it is reported that their
success has been SO great that, as one en-
thusiastic democrat said this morning:
I'VE have now moEey enough to buy up
the whole republican party in Maryland
and we going to win" There is no
doubt that the democrats are greatly en-
couraged today.
Their looks have become hopeful and
they are betting money on their side. The
leaders are claiming that arrangements
have been made which insure their sue
cess, and that it is only a question as to
the size of the majority. Mr.. Rasin, the
city leader, told The Star correspondent
that he had no doubt whatever as to the
election of Mr.. Hurst.
His chief lieuterants, Sheriff Quinn and
John ]. Mahon. both agreed with what he
said. 1t is reported that the cause for this
confidence is that the democrats have made
certain deals with some of the republican
factions for votes on election day, and that
they have also made a highly successful
raid into Africa, and have captured sew

WORK OF THE w. c. T. U.
Reports to the National Convention
at Baltimore.

BALTIMORE, October 19.-Beautiful
weather, almost spring-like in its balminess,
is favoring the women who are here in the
interest of mankind as members of the W.
c. T. U. national convention. The day is
almost perfect, the air just cool enough to
be bracng, and the effect of it is plainly to
be seen in the clear eyes and rosy cheeks
of the 500 delegates who assembled in
Music Hall this morning. When they
reached the meeting place they found that
some radical changes had been made in the
arrangement of the platform, the result be-
ing to bring the speakers nearer to their
audience thus rendering their remarks
mere audible.
The proceedings were opened by Mrs.
Mary ]. Weaver, national evangelist of
New York, who led the audience in devo-
sicn. Mrs. c. NJ. Woodward, superintendent
of the railway department, was the first to
take the stand after the convention proper
had been called to order. She said she had
been spending most of her time during the
past year in searching for good women to
aid her in her work among men. She paid
a glowing tribute to the various state or
ganizations under her.
At the conclusicn of Mrs. Woodward's re-
port Miss Willard said she was sure the
hearts of all those present had been touch
ed by the statements contained in 1t.
"a woman" she said, who can go out
and find other women whose hearts are
earnest in this work is just the woman we
want at the head of this department. Ihlr-
