On the average, great fortunes III
America have probably done more good
and less harm than might have been
expected. They have undertaken en-
terprises which could not otherwise
have been tried. The luxury and dis
play Of their owners arc Ii u by the
conditions of democratic society, Which
among other things preclude large eS'
Establishments Of servants such as are
kept by the masnates Of Euro oe, since
IN America one domestic will not take
orders from another. Besides. men
who have made their own fortunes
commonly retain the simplicity Of thelI
curly habits Of life.
The worst sin Of the milllonalres
q class probably has been the corrup'
ton Of politicians in the interest OF rail-
ways or other commercial concerns,
and even here they have acted largely
on the defensive. In politics they take
little part, desiring only to be let alone.
The worst Of them is that they die and
leave their wealth to idle and worthless
sons. We give up the jeunesse doree

Some Idea in Canal Navigation

T. w. Warner, in paper recently
read at meeting OF the Rochester
Academy of Science, favors the adop-
tion of cog. system on the Erie
canals, by laying an iron track in the
bottom of the canal and making con-
nection with it by adjustable cog
wheels, securing perfect alignment
and requiring little power. He says:
II believe in the near future we shall
see Long trains Of eight or ten boats
moving east and west in our water
ways at the speed of not less tnan
fre miles an tour. The trains will
move noiselessly and the power will
not be expended in churning up the
water and damaging the canal. These
boats will be run on schedule time
with greater accuracy than the rail.
way trains. The entire cost of trans
portation can be reduced to much
less than one fifth of the present rate.
Besides this, the carrying capacity Of
the canal would be more than quad
'upled."

barrett and Thorne.
(From the 81. Louis Chronicle)
One Of the most conspicuous figures in the
Stageland OF America to-day is John W. Nor.
ton. Born in the seventh ward OF New Yors
City forty-s;x years ago, the friends of his
youth were Thomas ". Keene and Franz
Chanfrau. We find Keene star at the age
OF 25 and Norton in the flower OF early man
hood the leading man for Edwin Booth at
was starred with Lawrence Barrett early in
the 70s, and alternated the leading roles
with Charles Thorne at the Variety Theatrs
in New Orleans. Early in the Centennial
year, in Louisville, Norton met our Mary
Anderson, then a fair young girl who aspired
for stage tame, took her under his guidance
and, as everybody knows. led her to fame.
Mr.. Norton is now the proprietor Of the
Grand Opera House in 81. Louis, the Du
Ouesne Theatre, Pittsburg. and one OF the
stockholders in the American ExtravaSanzs
Company.
One afternoon early In June be hobbled
into his New York Office on Broadway and
encountered hts business manager, George
McHIanus, who had also been rheumatic suf-
ferer for two years. Norton was surprised
that McManus had discarded his cane. Who
cured you? he asked. 81 cured myself, re-
piled McManus, with DR.. Williams Pink
Pills"
"I was encouraged b. Mr.. McManus' cur
and as last resort tried the Pink Pills my
self" said Mr. Norton to a Chronicle re-
porter. "You have known me for five years
and know how have suffered. Why, our

and hob5led rs painfully as ever. After
had taken my first box of Pink Pills It struck
me that the pains were less troublesome.

consciously to have faith in the Pink Pills.

sitting at my desk for an hour ana the
twinSes Of rheumatism that accompanied my
rising were so mild that I scarcely noticed
them. During the past two weeks We have
had much rainy weather in St. Louis. Rut
the dampness has not had the slightest effect
in bringing back the rheumatism, which
consider a sufficient and reliable test OF the
efficacy Of Pink Pills. I may also say that
the Pink Pills have acted as tonic on my
stomach, which thought WAS well nigh de.
