Are You In Il?

MIR. Chas, B. Spahr of Columbia University. has
recently examined the records Of the Surrogates
of thirtv-five counties in TIE state of New York
covering the last three months of 1898 and includ-
ing the counties of New York and Kings, the
richest in the State. The resul are remarka-
Bile as showing how few peopl' leave any estate
at all and the low average values of the estate
left
Out of 10000 persons over twenty-five years of
age dying during the quarter, only
1856 left estates equal to or exceeding 5000
2466 " averaging 1893
6R49 I" valued al 5000
Think gift! Less than per cent were worth
S5OOO end less than p per cent were worth 1922
when they died. The conclusion is that whether
915 out Of every 10000 leaves estate of $1,000
or not depends upon whether they have life in
surance for that amount or not.

STUDY OF MANKIND.
Cardinal Gibbons on "Tbe Preacher
and His Provirce."

NEW YORK, April 3O.--cardinal Gibbons
contributes TO the May number of the North
American Review its leading paper. The
subject is ''The Preacher and His Prov
ince." The article bristles with well-made
points. which cannot fail TO fix themselves
in the mind of the reader. The Illustrations
TO emphasize the points have a charm and
forcefulness in the very best vein of his
Eminence. The apostles, doctors of the
church. ancient and modern writers Csacred
and profane). orators. statesmen and SOL
diers are cited TO support the positions
taken. The opening paragraphs are as fol-
lows:
after the Bible, the study of mankind is
the most important and instructive pursuit
for the ambassador of Christ. The aim of
the ministry is to enlighten and convince,
to persuade and convert his fellow-beings,
to elevate him TO a higher plane of moral
rectitudc. The first step toward the ac-
compishment of this noble aim is to obtain
a thorough knowledge of man, his springs
OF action, his yearnings and desires. his
passions and emotions, his vices and temp
tations. as also the arguments, the motives
and the means best calculated 10 promote

kingdom of the heart is more accurately

makes better portrait from living sub
ject than from his photograph. We view OBJ
jects in the abstract In books, but in the
concrete in living man. Books describe hu-
man beings as existing In times and coun-
tries, or under circumstances different from
surrounds contemplate man. just as
he Is to-day We see him, not as reflected
through the mind of another, but as viewed
by ourselves. Human nature, il is true, is
everywhere radically the same, but ii re-
ceivcs a coloring and an impression from
it's environments. Man is Influenced and
modified In temperament and habits of
thought by his social and domestic sur
rcundinss. and by the political institutions
under which he lives. BY a knowledge Of
his own times and people, the speaker can
accommodate his remarks TO the special
needs of his hearers"
Noting the Vatican council. the Cardinal
says: II was never more, impressed with
the impulse given to knowledge b. contact
with learned men, than during the Vatican
council. when prelates OF worldwide ex-
perience and close observation were as
sembled in Rome Each bishop brought
with him an intimate acquaintance with the
history of his country, and with the re-
ligious. social and political conditions OF
people among whom ne lived One could
learn more from few hours interview

versation with those keen-sighted church
men on the social and moral progress OF

WASHINGTON, april 3O.-The friends of
the possible international monetary confer
ence which Germany is expected to con-
vene next fall are watching the progress
of Representative Hits illness with deep
concern. From the tone of the informa-
tion furnished to the press there seems
to be little hope entertained of his recovery
In the event of his death serious situation
arises. The three representatives on the
part of the House appointed under the res
olution providing that the President, the
Senate and the House should each appoint
three delegates, the Messrs. Crisp, Culbert-
son and Hit. Mr. Hit was the only Repub-
lican. OF the two Democrats. Mr.. Crisp has
recently announced himself as an out and
out free silver man, while Mr.. Culbertson
has so frequently stated his lack of faith
in the right of the President to appoint
delegates and has so openly expressed his
want of interest in the whole matter that
1t is of no moment what his views are. His
past record in Congress has always shown
him to be silver man. Mr.. Hit, therefore,
the only Republican on the House delega-
ton. is at the same time the only sound
money man. Should he die there is no way
of filling his place. There is at present no
Fifty-fourth House, hence Speaker to
appoint a successor to Mr.. Hit. No such
Congress meets which is apparently not
until next December. by which time the
conference. If IL is ever called will have
met and adjourned.
