Some Very Rich Aen Say They DO MOI
But We Have Not Heard Of One OF

Do riches bring happiness? This
question was recently answered in
an unique manner. The New York
World sent inquiries to number
of the most wealthy men In the
United Statesmen who have expe.
ricnced both poverty and riches
and received in reply the following
statements:
THE THING IN A NUTSHELL.
Russell A. Alger: Men are no
happier when rich than when poor.
How can they be? Do you think
some great millionaire is any hap
pier driving some famous trotter,
who enjoys a national reputation
and has cost his owner several
thousand dollars, than SIS week
clerk, hiring a livery stable horse
and driving out with his best girl?
Not whit. For $3.50 poor man
can own horse that will give him
Just as much pleasure as a $40, 900

more, I do not think | am really
any happier than IN my poorer
early days. Happiness is in no
sense dependent upon wealth, for
the fact is that when any of US
snatch an hour from life's cares to
enjoy any of its pleasures, we enjoy
them just as much whether we are
millionaires or paupers, and for the
time being we forget that we are
either.

leaders in the most terrible tragedy
that has yet been enacted in the law
less CoolgarCie. Fabulous finds have
lately been reported from Ninety Mile
Point, nuggets weighing between SO
and $50 ounces of pure gold being
picked up on the surface of the ground.
These stories made men mad with lust
for gain, and proSpectors in the race
for wealth pushed on for hundreds of
miles in the wilderness. far beyond
where white men had ever been. They
had scarcely enough food and water
to keep them alive. They were brought
back raging with fever and placed in
the CoolgarGie hospital, already over
crowded with dying miners.
The fate of these desperate men did
not deter eight new arrivals from
forming Il syndicate, and, with heavy
packs of provisions, water and rifles,
started from Ninety Mile Point the
extreme limit of Coolgardie, to pros
pect in the interior. They started Dec.
l of last year, and nothing has been
heard of them since; it was supposed
that they had met death. Dan Robert
son, one of the syndicate, returned
from his camp, 100 miles from Cool
gardie, Jan. u, and confessed to the
police that after discovering a mount
ain of gold, the party returning to
camp found that band of blacks had
stolen all the provisions. The syndi-

The party was composed of eighty

Thinks No international Middle
VIII Follow.

DENVER, March II. - Gov. McIn-
tyres advices from Walsenburg today
are to the effect that all is quiet, and
the sheriff does not anticipate any
further trouble. The governor does
not think any International question
will arise over the trouble, although
he will assist the representatives Of
the Italian government in every way
to get at the truth of the matter. He
stated today that since the officials of
the country had extended to the Ital-
ians the same degree of protection
they would have accorded to Amer
leans, no complaint of treaty violations
could arise. The killing of Deputy
Sheriff Welsby at the time the attack
was made on the prisoners will also
in some degree exonerate the officials
from any charge of inadequate pro-
lection, which might be made by the
Italian government.

Italian Embassy keeping Strict
Watch on Lynching Affair.
ROME, March 14-It is semi-officially
announced that a dispatch from Wash
ington has been received by the gov
eminent saying that on the receipt
yesterday of the reports of the killing
of several Italians in Colorado the
Italian ambassador addressed a note
to the federal government on the mat
ter, and also telegraphed the Italian
consulate at Denver for information.
The federal government, in response to
the inquiry of the ambassador, said
that it was not yet in possession of the
facts in regard to the murders, but the
consul telegraphed to the ambassador
confirming a report that six Italians
had been killed in consequence of the
murder of a saloonkeeper. AS it was
unknown whether the murdered Ital-
ians We're naturalized Americans the
ambassador charged the consul to in
quire into the matter of their citizen
ship. Meanwhile, the governor of Col
orado telegraphed to the ambassador
that he had sent troops to protect the
Italians near the scene of the trouble.
The dispatch received here added that
the United States authorities displayed
a most conciliatory disposition, and in
pursuance Of the ambassadors request
expressed their intention OF obtaining
an exact account of the incident and
the causes of it, and to take whatever
measures were required.

has characterized everybody in Wal
senburg and Rouse since the mob did
its fatal work still continues. There is
no doubt but that a very considerable
number of people know thoroughly
well who did the killing, but they know
too well. Walsenburg has for years
been a rather hard town, with an ele-
ment that occasionally shows it's teeth
and uses it's guns. These men are
of more or less prominence, and,as it is
believed they did the work, no one
dare say or acknowledge any cog
nizance of the participants for fear of
being himself used as a target.
The notorious Bob Ford, slayer Of
Jesse James, ran a dance hall in Wal
senburg for several years. Six of his
pals from that place are now in the
states prison for various crimes, but
others are still on hand. Walsenburg
is hamlet of but LOCO, with coal mines
and miners at her doors on every side
and the turbulent element is therefore
large, especially since the strike of last
summer, after which many miners who
were steady men and had accumu-
lated some property moved away.

PUBLIC LANDS IN SOUTH.
Reservations Soon to Open to Pur-
chaSers.

WASHINGTON, March 14.-In ac-
cordance with an act passed by the
last congress, the secretary of the
navy has turned over to the interior
department a number of small reser-
VationS lying on the coast of Alabama
and Mississippi, which were set apart
early in the century for the purpose
of maintaining an adequate supply of
live oak and pine timber for the build
ing of naval vessels. Since the aban-
donment of wood for naval ships,
there has been no demand of this
kind to meet, and, indeed, if there
had been, the reservations could not
have met it, for they have been long
denuded of their valuable timber by
squatters, so the navy department
recommended that the lands be trans
ferred to the interior department, in
order that they might be disposed of
under the law to private persons.
The extent of the reservation in Mis-
sissippi is about $4,000 acres, while in
Alabama there are but $40 acres. There
are also similar reservations in Flo
rida, but as it has been reported to
the department that they still contain
valuable timber, the secretary of the
navy has not yet concluded to turn
them over to the interior department.

HONOLULU, March Per steam
ship Arawa, via San Francisco. March
N.-Excitement over the recent re-
bellion here is gradually quoting
down. The Hawaiian government is
now directing its principal attention
toward the abettorS of the insurrec-
tionists. who are now on American soil.
w. A. Kinney, who acted as judge adj
NOcate of the military commission
which tried rebels, is among the pas
AraWa for San Francisco today. He
carries with him the testimony and
affidavits in the schooner Wahlberg
case. The Wahlberg is the vessel
which landed arms for rebels. and
which is now detained at San Diego.
Kinney is accompanied by George
Townsend and Charles Warren, half
days on the schooner while she was
lying off the coast waiting to land
arms for the rebels. They will be able
to identify the vessel, and the captain
and crew of the craft. Upon reaching
San Francisco Kinney will proceed to
San Diego to act in behalf of the
Hawaiian government. The witnesses
who accompany Kinney were among
over twenty-five rebels who were con-
victed and sentenced for treason, but
in view of their recent services to the
government, President Dole has sus-
pended the sentences.
