WHERE DONAHUE
MADE HIS START.
THE NOTED CAPITALIST AN Err
RAND-BOY IN THE TELLER
MANSION.
OLDEST HOUSE IN AMERICA
THOUSANDS VISIT FIsHK1LL TO
SEE THIS WONDERFUL
STRUCTURE.

From errand-boy to railroad president
is something to be proud of. Peter Dona-
hue did this and more, for he became a
multi-millionaire and one OF San Fran
cisco's most prominent business men. Mr..
Donahue is long since dead, but the mil
lions he left behind him find a pleasing
monument in little, low rambling house
at Fishkill, N. Y.
There Mr.. Donahue began his battle
with the world, though this humble be-
ginning would not be particularly note
worthy were it not for the fact that the
house where he lived many years and
probably laid the foundation of his for
tune is the oldest in America.
The Teller mansion, as it is called, was
built in 1903 by Roger Brett and stands
exactly as it was 1856 years ago. 1t is a
long rambling house, built of wood, with a
siding of cedar shingles scalloped and
overlapping each other. Just to the right
of the front door is a small bedchamber
containing an elegant rosewood cabinet
and ebony wardrobe, with quaint carvings
on the panels of the DOORS This cabinet
was brought over from Holland over 200
years ago.
On the right of the hall farther on is the
parlor, with curiously carved mantel.
On the left is a large dining room, where
hang the family portraits. The Tellers are
descendants of Aneke Jams, Holland s
beautiful but erratic daughter, and her pic
ture, as well as that of Bogardus, the gay
dominic of the colony, are to be seen.
This ancient homestead is still in the
possession of the descendants of the origi-
nal occupants and what is better and rarer.
the old furniture has been Kept in place,
SO that the interior harmonizes with the
interesting historical exterior.
During revolutionary times tie jewellers
in this famous house entertained hundreds
of hungry continental soldiers, who were
quartered near by, and in 1888 great din
ner was served in commemoration of the

Social Evolution.

That a Chicago house which generally
deals in sentimental literature should
consider it worth while to issue reprint
tion" is a significant commentary upon the
eagerness with which the English-reading
public is holding its cup to the fountain of
economic knowledge. Not to be outdone
Macmillan & Co, have put ont a paper
edition of the book, with a new
preface by the author, and propose to
sell the new volume at Is cents, although
it is difficult to perceive how they are able
to do this without direct and heavy loss.
That this book should have such great
and widespread popularity must be mat
ter of surprise to one who has not noticed
the trend of the times. Half dozen years
ago the people who would have cared for it
might have numbered few hundred. To-
day the book is having an attention that
has been given to no work on social econ
omy since the first publication of "Gron-
lund's Cooperative Commonwealth"
Nothing could be greater than the differ
ence between these two books. They ap-
proach the question of human destiny from
opposite standpoints, and argue it to rad
ically different conclusions. Yet the same
people who a few years ago were enthusi-
astlc over the one are now equally enthusl-
astic over the other.
In tracing the progressive steps of social
evolution the author notes that while the
conviction exists that a definite stage in
the evolution of Western civilization is
drawing to close, and that we are enter
ing upon a new era, yet there is apparently
complete absence of any clear indication

NEW TO-DAY.
CLIMATIC CONDITIONS
Are Now Most Favorable for
the Treatment and
Cure of All Chronic Diseases-The
Copeland Medical Institute Treats
Them and Furnishes All Medicine
for $5 Month.

The time to take treatment for diseases OF q
catarr hal nature is now. The climatic comb
lions are most favorable. In fact the best OF
the year, the liability to taking cold being the
lowest, and one months treatment now Will
do more good than two months in cold and
rainy weather.
Time and again Drs Copeland and Neal have
advised persons in desperate stages OF catarrhal
trouble to wait until summer before taking
treatment. Time and again have they urged
the necessity of taking treatment while the
weather is favorable to a cure.
Now is that time. Those who suffer from
catarrh should take advantage of all the 1nfiu-
ences that operate now in favor OF a cure.
They should not put off treatment until next

"mend their roof while the sun shines" Now

Ireland's Loss by immigration.

Since 1854 through Ireland generally, and
have been less frequent. This decrease of
early marriages, especially among women,
accounts, says the Registrar General, to a
great extent for the diminution in the
average size of families in Ireland, and
also explains in part the diminished birth
rate, which in the ten years from 1881 to
1880 had fallen from 24.5 to 22.3 per thou
sand of the population. There ought to
have been an increase in the Irish popula-
ton in the ten years of over quarter OF a
million, that being the increase of births
over deaths, but this natural increase has
been more than counterbalanced by emf
grafton, so that in the same period the pop
ulation sank by nearly half million. =

THE CLAIM ALLOWED.
Contractors Warren & Malley to Be
Paid $4,000 From the Fair
Estate.

The claim of Warren & Malley, for work
done on James G. Fairs water-fr front prop
erty in the northern part of the city, has
been allowed by Judge Slack. The claim
amounted to something over $4,000, and
this amount, less 1920, which was for what
was proved to have been unnecessary
work, was allowed.
The main point of controversy between
the contractors and the estate was whether
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-03-31

the money should come from The general
administrators. BY Judge Slack decision
the special administrators pay the claim.
The $420 taken out was for scraping off
some sand which had drifted into big heaps
on one of the lots previously leveled The
contractors scraped it off without authori-
cation, and must therefore pay for the
work themselves.

the late Professor George John Romanes,
the author of Darwin and After Darwin"

lessor Romanes, like most thinkers, was
actively interested in the modern prob

In Kansas without Fuel.
KANSAS CITY Mo, Feb. 7.-Blinding
snow and sand storms and rapidly fall
ing thermometer have combined within
the last twenty-four hours to create the
worst blizzard that has prevailed in the
southwest in years. The weather began to
grow colder yesterday morning, and each
hour since then has marked steady de
cline in the thermometer The local
weather officials predict that Is below zero
will probably be recorded before the cold
wave reaches its height. At o'clock yes
terday morning the thermometer here reg
istered "a dogs above zero. 1t rapidly fell
and at 10 p. IN. was at zero and still on the
decline.
A like fall is noted throughout the
whole southwest particularly in Kansas,
where SO much suffering already exists.
In some places the cold is so intense that
outdoor business has been suspended. A
northwest wind amounting almost to a
gale is drifting the snow badly and eaus-
ing damage to telegraph wires and street
car traffic The Union Pacific system is
practically showed under, and all trains
are late. In the country the storm sweeps
across the prairie and open fields with ter
rife force At Salina, Startling and other
Kansas points the sand is blown about in
dense clouds Where the elements have a
clean sweep the thermometer is already
down to and below zero.
1t is estimated that at least 800 families
In the Cheyennes, Rawlins, Sherman and
Thomas counties are without fuel. Many
of the farmers are scantily clothed, and
while the sod houses in which most Of
them live are warm the storm if long
continued, will cause great suffering.
Fodder is likewise scarce, and consequent
loss of cattle must follow Measures of

Paving of the strikers.

BROOKLYN, Feb. 7.-Brooklyn's trolley
strikers yesterday went to the offices of
the three roads affected and demanded the
weeks pay due them. President Lewis
said that none of the men had applied for
reinstatement, and he did not expect any
applications until the mems money was
exhausted Strike Leader Connolly de
clared that 5000 men had drawn their pay
during the day and gave as a reason that
the men feared that the companies were
about to go into the hands of receiver,
Mr.. Connolly declares that the men will
maintain an unbroken front, and will
